NOVEL NEXT Chapter 87
Chapter 85: Sell
Deqing Green Camp, the new guard Tang Sanshui widened his eyes and looked at the “Ming Army” lobbyist in disbelief.
The short-footed Zhang An, who was acting as a messenger, was startled, and dared to say that for a long time, the other party didn’t understand?
After clearing his throat, he said loudly again: “My general is willing to hand Luo Ding over to the Lord, on the condition that Lord Tang must provide us with food and grass that can be eaten by 10,000 people for half a month. Five hundred spears and one kilogram of pig iron. My general said that as long as Master Tang has all the needs of our army, our army will withdraw from Luoding immediately, and will never leave a soldier or a soldier. After our army withdraws, Tang Your subordinates can take over the whole city. At the same time, our army promises not to set fire to the city, and will hand over a complete Luoding city to your Lord.”
Zhang An spoke clearly this time, but he spoke slowly. It was true that word by word came into Tang Sanshui’s ears. Tang Sanshui heard it clearly, but it was clear that it was clear. The confusion and surprise in his heart were all It didn’t decrease at all, instead it became more and more confused.
“Is this really what your General Zhou meant?”
If it weren’t for the fact that the other party held the token he gave to Zhou Shixiang last time, Tang Sanshui would have some doubts that this guy was a fake. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time he heard that the army was willing to sell the occupied cities as goods. Ming and Qing have been fighting for so many years, whether the Qing army or the Ming army, who doesn’t value the territory more expensive than gold, if you fight for me, even if it is an empty city, you have to go all out to grab it, and you won’t be able to die. Soldiers, the credit for regaining lost territory (opening up territory) is really tempting for generals. Sometimes, several groups of people grab a piece of land at the same time, like a group of hungry dogs vying for a piece of bone, and no one will let go. This time, it’s weird. Some people don’t want the site, but sell it instead, who will believe it if it spreads. ? Strange, so **** strange!
“It’s exactly what my general meant. I’ll tell you the truth below, not a single word has been added or modified.” Speaking of which, seeing Tang Sanshui’s confused face, Zhang An couldn’t help but laugh, and said, “Master Tang must be confused in his heart. Why does my general want to sell Luo Ding to your lord?”
“Confused indeed.”
Tang Sanshui laughed dryly, without denying it, but listening to the other party’s tone meant telling the truth, he couldn’t help listening intently.
“Don’t lie to Mr. Tang, it’s not because my general is willing to give up Luo Ding, it’s because my chief soldier has just received an order from Prince Xining, and the prince ordered my chief army to lead the troops to Guizhou immediately, and Luo Ding was replaced by Governor Zhang’s troops and horses. Take over…… Mr. Tang didn’t know anything, my family’s General Bing was always at odds with Governor Zhang, so my generals suggested to Lord Zong-Bing that instead of handing Luo Ding to that **** Zhang Xiaoqi, it would be better to sell it to the Lord. Lord Bing gets some benefits, and Lord Tang also has the credit for regaining lost ground, so why not do it?”
Tang Sanshui of course knew that the governor Zhang was referring to Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of Gao, Lei, Lian and Qiong of the Ming Dynasty. He also knew that Le Tongwu was Li Dingguo’s subordinate and was not subject to Zhang Xiaoqi’s restraint. It’s not surprising that there is something dirty between the two of them. However, whether the Taiping Ying was a subordinate of Le Tongwu, he had reservations. The last time he fought on Xihedu, he was not blind, how could he not see that the Taiping Camp was just helping the rabble. After thinking about it, I am afraid that the Taiping Camp was mostly using the banner of Letongwu to scare him. If Qi Qingzhuang sticks to it, the poor scholar Zhou Shixiang may not be able to take advantage of Deqing.
No wonder he was too greedy, fascinated by money, pinched his nose and performed a show with the other party, scaring the magistrate Lu Gongming and the big family, and even borrowed a knife to kill people and made a fortune. The defense is also sorry for the court.
However, it is also due to his greed, or else the function of guarding will be his own? What about the pile of banknotes from the bottom of the box in your own room? What is the picture of being an official for thousands of miles, and what is the picture of tying your head on the waistband of your trousers to work for the court?
Right now, the Zheng family in Chaozhou is making a fuss, and the Manchurian soldiers sent from Beijing have gone north to escape the summer. With only 2,000 people like this, Guangzhou does not send troops, and the commander-in-chief is also helpless. At this time, I suddenly led the troops to recapture Luo Ding. I must have been surprised by the commander-in-chief and the two princes of Guangzhou.
The food for 10,000 people for half a month is not too much. It is not impossible to find a way to make it. A thousand pounds of medicine is troublesome. There is no such thing in the camp, but if the money is sent to Guangzhou, it may not be possible. You can’t get some out of the hands of the Han Junqi guys. Besides, the other party said that he wanted a thousand jins, couldn’t he really give him a thousand jins? When it comes to buying and selling, there is always a reason for bargaining~www.readwn.com~ There is no reason not to bargain.
As for 500 spears, it’s not a big deal at all, and pig iron doesn’t matter. All these can be made up, just report the battle damage afterwards. Can this war not kill people or damage things? Compared with the credit for recovering Luo Ding, these are not worth mentioning at all.
Thinking of the fact that the two princes in Guangzhou heard that they regained lost territory alone, Tang Sanshui couldn’t help but ask Zhang An on purpose, “Why did your King of Xining want your general to go to Guizhou?”
Zhang An shook his head: “This… I don’t know.” The conversation changed, “But I don’t know if Master Tang is willing to do this transaction?”
Tang Sanshui made it difficult: “This matter is very important, the food and supplies your general wants are not a small number, this official can’t get it together for a while, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run, you can answer your general after you allow this official to think deeply. .”
“It doesn’t matter, my general told me before I came here that Master Tang is definitely interested in this transaction, but the number of things is a bit large, so it is inevitable that you should consider carefully. In comparison, the benefits that adults can get from this transaction are much more.”
“Cough cough…”
Tang Sanshui coughed lightly and instructed the soldiers outside, “Take this brother Zhang down for a drink.”
“twitter!”
The two personal soldiers rushed forward and pulled Zhang An with a smile on their faces, but Zhang An did not refuse, and when they went out, he turned around and said, “Oh, by the way, Master Tang has to make up his mind quickly, my general will just wait at most. It will take ten days, sir, and if you don’t see a reply from Lord Tang after ten days, the city can only be handed over to Governor Zhang’s soldiers and horses to take over.”
