784 whereabouts

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong signaled to his military advisor.

Seeing this, Xu Yixian moved out the chair prepared in advance and asked Li Zicheng to take his seat.

When Li Zicheng saw this, he showed a smile on his face and did not refuse. He sat down in front of Zhang Xianzhong, and then said with a serious expression: "I, Dashun Country, your Persian Kingdom can't stay anymore. We must continue to stay away from Ming Kingdom, the farther away the better. The logistics of the Ming government army cannot keep up with it, and if the Ming emperor is exhausted, I don't believe that the Ming emperor will continue to pursue us in the future!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, shook his head and added: "No, he is going to waste the damn Duke Xingguo to death! All the things were done by this damn Duke Xingguo!"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he remembered that his adopted sons had betrayed him, only Zhang Kewang still followed him, and said with hatred: "A good person doesn't live long, he will definitely not live long!"

When Xu Yixian heard that their topic was going to be biased, he quickly interrupted and asked, "Then where should we continue to retreat? I heard that the Ottoman Empire is called the west of Persia, which is much stronger than Persia and Mughals. A Turkic country! In the north, it is..."

Hearing his words, Li Zicheng came to his senses and turned to look at Xu Yixian, saying back to the main topic: "In principle, it is better to be farther away from the Ming Kingdom, so it is impossible to go north to the north. The Weila tribes all surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, and the northern part was the place where the Weila Mongols were."

"Then where are we going? Are we fighting with the Ottoman Empire?" Zhang Xianzhong asked in confusion after hearing this.

Although the Ottoman Empire is very large and is said to be strong, it is obviously impossible to say that Zhang Xianzhong would be afraid.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng turned to look back at Zhang Xianzhong, shook his head and said, "We can't waste our time with the Ottoman Empire, even if we win, we will win miserably. Moreover, if we go west, we are all Westerners who have a strong grasp of firearms and are also difficult to provoke..."

"Do you want to go to heaven and earth?" Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but say with a little sarcasm when he heard that he couldn't leave and right.

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong didn't care, but said seriously: "I have discussed this matter before I came. Our only way out is to go southwest after passing Persia. There is a continent that is much larger than the Ming Kingdom, at least five or six Ming Kingdoms! And many places are rich in Kunlun slaves, and the people there are still behind and cannot be our opponent!"

Speaking of this, he said with a confident smile: "We are joining hands and going far away. As long as we arrive there, we will build a country, be a brotherly country, and deal with foreign enemies together, which is so good?"

Zhang Xianzhong was very calm. After hearing this, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment, then stared at Li Zicheng and said, "Wouldn't it be better if you don't tell me, let me stay here to attract the attention of the Ming government army and block the Ming government army?"

Obviously, he was suspicious of Li Zicheng's words first.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said, "If possible, of course I am willing to do this!"

This answer was open and honest. Therefore, when Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was not angry, but just stared at Li Zicheng and waited for him to write.

Li Zicheng continued to say to Zhang Xianzhong: "But if I want to do this, it is not so easy to pass your territory first, without your permission! In addition, from Persia to the place we want to go, we have to pass through the Ottoman Empire, and we are not familiar with it along the way, with deserts, deserts, etc. This expedition is not so easy. Only when we work together can we ensure that as many people as possible arrive there and become the basis for our rule over there!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong thought about it carefully for a while, nodded, as if he had agreed with his words.

Then, Zhang Xianzhong turned his head and looked at Xu Yixian, then turned around, looked at Li Zicheng, and made a decision on the spot and said, "Okay, then do that!"

There is obviously a decisiveness he should have when he can live to this day. When he encounters such a big thing, once he thinks it through, he will not have mother-in-law or mother, nor will he be nostalgic for Persia.

Li Zicheng was very satisfied when he heard this, and immediately said with a smile: "I knew that Brother Zhang would agree. In this way, we will prepare and try our best to prepare before leaving!"

Guides, food, supplies, weapons and equipment, etc., as long as you may use them on the road, try to collect them as much as possible.

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xianzhong nodding and said with a smile: "Gold, silver, money, are the most useless things, so why not replace them with firearms and gunpowder!"

Obviously, Li Zicheng fell in love with the firearms Zhang Xianzhong currently has.

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't you just laugh at the firearm in my hand that was left by Mingguo? Why, do you want such garbage?"

Although he has agreed to cooperate, this does not prevent him from regaining the situation.

Li Zicheng's face was obviously thick-skinned. He didn't care when he heard Zhang Xianzhong's sarcasm, but he still said with a smile: "You take the lead and give you 10% of the firearm you sold!"

"Thirty percent!" Zhang Xianzhong said without hesitation when he heard this.

"At most, one and a half!" Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.

However, Zhang Xianzhong, as if he could not see his face at all, continued to offer: "Twenty-and-a-half percent, no more!"

"Forget it, you and I will take a step back, only 20%!" Li Zicheng said seriously, "Otherwise I will find my own way!"

"Trade!" Zhang Xianzhong, who had just seriously suppressed the price, immediately agreed when he heard it, and then said with a smile, "Old Li is just ready, just settled!"

The Portuguese instructor was still in his army. If he wanted to buy arms again, it would be a matter of one word for him. He got 20% of the arms for nothing, which made him much more enthusiastic about Li Zicheng.

Since Li Zicheng left the Ming Dynasty, he robbed far more property than Zhang Xianzhong. After saying this, the Portuguese immediately sent someone back to Goa without saying a word.

Naturally, the Goa Portuguese did not have so much arms, so they came to the Ming Dynasty to purchase goods.

After Sun Chuanting found out, he hesitated a little.

He thought about it with his toes and knew that the target of buying the firearm this time must be Li Zicheng's thief.

Although he was qualified to know the layout of Duke Xingguo, if Li Zicheng now wants to rifle guns and cannons, if they resist stubbornly in Persia, it will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties to the imperial government army.

For this reason, he immediately reported to the court about the matter.

If it were the past, the news would have been very slow.

However, the Ming Dynasty's own rubber trees were already at the age of harvest, and a rubber factory was established in the south to specialize in the use of telephone lines.

When the imperial government army was heading west, the telephone line was crossed all the way, and even a cavalry of thousands of people was formed to inspect the telephone lines specifically to ensure the smooth flow of the telephone.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting called back with one phone call, and after several transfers, he contacted Nanjing.

Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned Zhang Mingwei and told him about this situation.

After all, these layouts were all made by Zhang Mingwei. Of course, we have to listen to Zhang Mingwei's opinions on what decisions should be made now.

After hearing the news, Zhang Mingwei said without hesitation: "That's it!"

"Sir, Sun Qing is worried that after the two thieves of Zhang and Li possessed a large number of firearms, they occupied Persia to resist the imperial army, which would inevitably increase the casualties of the imperial army!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and thought Zhang Mingwei was not clear, so he reminded him.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, just give it, but you can only give it black gunpowder. As for white gunpowder, no one can give it now."

The power of white gunpowder is three times that of black gunpowder, and there will be no residue after the white gunpowder is burned. The black gunpowder needs to be cleaned, which will take more time and damage the life of the barrel.

Speaking of this, he paused and continued to report good news to Emperor Chongzhen: "The breech guns in the laboratory are almost done, and they will be mass-produced at most next year. By the future, all the breech guns and cannons will be eliminated, so take the opportunity to sell them!"

A few years ago, as soon as the white gunpowder came out, the breech gun was possible. If Zhang Mingwei hadn't had many things to do, he would have been able to develop it long ago.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the breech gun in the documentary and knew how powerful the breech gun was, and even the war mode could be changed. Therefore, when he heard Zhang Mingwei's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, before he could speak, Zhang Mingwei spoke first: "And, I guess Li Zicheng was actually scared and did not dare to fight the imperial army. Therefore, it is more likely that they will continue to flee to the west. We provided guns and cannons so that they could continue to ask us to open the way west, which would save us a lot of trouble!"

This saves a lot of things, mainly including some things that are difficult to do on the surface. If these things that are difficult to do are not done, it will also have obstacles to the future governance of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course Emperor Chongzhen knew this because Zhang Mingwei analyzed it for him very early. Therefore, when he heard this, he nodded.

However, Emperor Chongzhen still had questions and asked, "What if they refused to flee west?"

"Then force them to escape west!" Zhang Mingwei said without hesitation after hearing this, "When next spring, Sun Chuanting will conquer Kandahar and destroy the Persian emperor, he will still use step-by-step methods to force them to continue to escape west!"

"Okay, then I'll sell it!" Emperor Chongzhen decided to say when he heard this, and no longer worried.

The rifled guns and cannons have been sold until now, and Europe has gradually become a little unable to sell. However, the profit of the arms is really high. After Emperor Chongzhen lost his worries, he naturally paid great attention to the sale of arms.
