"What? Those calves need to raise so much? Why don't they die and blackmail me?" After hearing Huang Qifai's report, Geng Jingzhong couldn't help but yelled in anger, "You
Is he also suffering from diarrhea and diarrhea? You still have the nerve to report back and forth, okay? Can you give all our belongings to that calf to raise?"
Huang Qifai knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, for fear that Geng Jingzhong's anger would be detrimental to him.
"Okay! Old Geng, please don't scare Mr. Huang Qian." Kong Youde waited until Geng Jingzhong finished scolding him before he came out and said, "Mr. Huang Qian, don't be angry, Lao Geng has such a temper.
After all, if you can achieve a result this time, it will be a great achievement. Please carefully recall what kind of person that military attaché is."
"Two marshals!" Huang Qifai raised his head and said carefully, "The younger one is just his own feeling. He dare not talk nonsense in front of the two marshals."
"It doesn't matter! You can speak boldly. Just tell us what you observed there, and we will make our own judgment."
"The younger one spoke boldly. After the younger one went to Wu Dusi's camp, the younger one and his followers were all blindfolded. But they took the younger one and walked for a long time without leaving anything.
Detour, the camp is probably very large, and the number of soldiers is not small."
"Let's get to the point. Don't take out all the foot bindings like a mother-in-law. Let's talk about the military attache." Geng Jingzhong interrupted impatiently from the side.
"Yes! Yes!" Huang Qifai quickly nodded in agreement. He continued, "That Wu Dusi is quite young, he looks to be only in his early twenties. But he has a bad temper and is moody, and he has been intimidating the little one into giving in.
But in the end, the reason why the younger one escaped was mainly because Wu Dusi was very greedy for money."
"He asked for fifty boxes of goods. He also offered to sell us grain for fifty taels of silver per stone. But the younger one didn't agree. He was just vague and wanted to come back and wait for the two commanders' decision."
"But Xiao Xiao also saw that Wu Dusi was somewhat sincere. He made things difficult for Xiao Xiao in every possible way, which proved that he was sincere about this agreement. But Xiao Xiao wanted to bargain at that time.
, but as if he had stepped on Wu Dusi's tail, he shouted on the spot to give the little one a wink. If the little one wasn't clever, he might not have come back with all his beards and tails. So it can be said that
, otherwise the two marshals agreed to him, or else the two marshals ignored him. If you want to bargain and pay less, the possibility of success is really low."
Kong Youde frowned and pondered for a while, and then told Huang Qifai: "You go down first and wait outside. I will discuss it with Lao Geng first."
After Huang Qiqi went down, Geng Jingzhong changed his reckless and rude appearance. He also frowned and said to Kong Youde: "Old Kong, that Huang Qiqi is not a bold person. I guess there is nothing that dares to deceive us. His words should be all right."
It's true. However, the price offered by the military attache was too high. These days, I have ordered my brothers to lay fishing nets on those ships. No matter what shells are used, they will only damage some decks and injure some at most.
If they can't get to the bottom of the ship, there will be no damage to the ship. Are you just ignoring them?"
Kong Youde shook his head and said, "You can't look at it this way. Those of us who know the inside story all know that the shells fired from outside Nancheng these days have not killed many people. But those people in the city are just looking at them when they walk these days.
Walking towards the sky. A few days ago, a group of soldiers under Li Yingyuan walked halfway. There was no artillery fire outside the south city. I don't know who shouted: 'The shells are coming!', and the group of soldiers immediately came.
There was so much excitement. One soldier jumped into the river and drowned in a panic. Didn't that become a joke? "
"It can't go on like this. If the city is full of our people, then I believe that we can still hold it down with just the two of us. But now the city of Dengzhou is too chaotic. If this goes on, there will definitely be chaos in the city.
There is no need to wait until the sea water freezes. Those in the city who are not aligned with us have the possibility of us opening the city gate. If the military attachés outside the south city really do what Huang Qiqi said and have sex at a fixed time every day
, which also solves the problem in front of us."
"Another advantage is that it can open the eyes of other brothers in the city and let them know that we have some contact with the officers and soldiers outside the city. It is to give them an extra escape route, and they will also follow our orders and listen to us.
.So, I still advocate trading with that official and military general."
Geng Jingzhong also thought about it for a while and said: "Old Kong, you always have many ideas, and I, Old Geng, also listen to you. There is just one problem, the things in our warehouse cannot hold fifty boxes!"
"It's nothing. There are still some furs from outside the customs. Anyway, those things take up a lot of space, so this box is easy to fill up. But we also need to stuff some ginseng, deer antlers and so on inside. Don't let those outside Nancheng suffer too much.
.Since this is going to be a deal, let’s not do anything that makes Little Laba angry. Anyway, we are planning to go outside the customs to join the Tatars. These things are not valuable outside the customs, so we might as well use them now.”
Geng Jingzhong nodded, and then asked: "What about the people in the city that the military attaché wants?"
"Let's release all those who are incarcerated. It's a good relationship anyway, there's no need to make enemies over these people No. 100. Maybe some of these people have what the military attaché wants, and we don't have to keep them in our hands.
Just do it as a favor. You can also save some food to feed them."
Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong never mentioned the coolies and military prostitutes in the city from beginning to end. In their eyes, these people were not people at all, just tools and food. Of course, they also thought Wu Shigong had the same idea. But in the Ming Dynasty
The common people mentioned by officials at that time did not include the working people at the bottom in many cases. Therefore, Han Shi's glimmer of hope was destined to turn into despair.
"That's it!" Geng Jingzhong also agreed with Kong Youde. He opened his mouth to call Huang Qifai in again.
But Kong Youde immediately stopped Geng Jingzhong, and he continued: "Wait a minute! There is also the matter of buying grain."
Geng Jingzhong's eyebrows jumped in surprise and asked: "Do we really want to buy such expensive grain?"
"Yes." Kong Youde nodded and affirmed, "There is nothing we can do. Although the food in the city is in our hands, we also know that this food can last until the end of the first year of next year. If we add those two-legged sheep, it will be enough to last until the sea.
It's freezing. But those other people don't know! These days I have received reports that rumors are spreading in the city. And those who spread the rumors are the three aunts and wives of the Liaodong Army. We can't even arrest them.
It’s really troublesome.”
"Damn it, these old ladies are still full and have enough space!" Geng Jingzhong also cursed from the side.
"As long as we buy some grain, it doesn't have to be much, just a few hundred dan, and this rumor will be disproven. Moreover, we can also buy grain in batches to stabilize the officers and soldiers outside Nancheng. As long as they are greedy for money, we can first
We promised them to buy grain, but actually refused to buy it. After five days of no firing, we will buy two hundred shi first. After another ten days of no firing, we will buy another 400 shi."
"With these 600 shi of food, we can sustain ourselves for more than ten days. Moreover, the artillery fire outside Nancheng has been stopped for half a month. This is also a killing of two birds with one stone. Of course, we will promise to buy more. Anyway, with our previous
It’s no wonder that the officers and soldiers don’t believe the deal, and they will stop firing. As for whether we will really buy it in the future, it depends on the situation.”
"But buying those six hundred shi of grain costs thirty thousand taels of silver! Who will pay for the money?" Geng Jingzhong asked again.
"It's not good to use ten thousand taels of our public silver. It's not good to give any cash outside the city. There won't be much backlash in the city if we use so much money. The rest will be covered by goods."
"After we captured Dengzhou City, all the goods in the warehouses in the city that were high in price and light in quality were divided among the brothers. However, there were still a lot of low in price and heavy in quality. We originally wanted to take all these to Liaodong by ship.
Let's make Dusi cheaper now. On the contrary, our ship can carry more people and run faster. You know, Huanglong, who is currently on Pi Island, will definitely intercept us from the sea. We still have more
It’s better to be prepared.”
"Also, although our men have looted the belongings of every house in the city, there are still many things left behind. Let the men search the whole city again, not even the copper spittoon.
Go buy grain at a discount. Tell the chief officer outside the city to take it if you want it, but don't take it." At the end of the sentence, Kong Youde couldn't help but get a little angry. After all, Wu Shigong's condition was to kill the rebels too hard.
Geng Jingzhong let out a long sigh and said, "That's all we can do."
Kong Youde sneered and said: "Actually, the military attache outside Nancheng also gave us a chance. We originally planned to prepare two ways to escape. One is to use the cavalry to break out of the encirclement from the front, and the other is to go to sea with the fleet. In case this happens
Neither road is open, so now we have a third road."
"Oh? Then tell me quickly!" Geng Jingzhong asked anxiously.
"Since the military attaché has done business with us for a long time, his defense against us will inevitably be reduced. Although the mountainous area outside the south city is not conducive to the passage of a large army, there is absolutely no problem in running up to a small group of people. By that time,
Maybe there will be peace again. Maybe there is no need to fight at all. If you send a large amount of money, maybe the money-grubbing Dusi will open a way. But this is what we two brothers know. People talk too much.
Yes, there are many people who know about it, and if it reaches the ears of the officers and soldiers outside the city, the road will be blocked."
Geng Jingzhong also laughed out loud, and he quickly said: "I can save this! But Lao Kong, do we have a chance to sneak attack the officers and soldiers outside Nancheng? At least we can pull out the artillery there?"
Kong Youde shook his head and said: "We can't move for the time being. From what Huang Qiqi said, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside Nancheng, so we may not succeed. It's even worse if we offend them, so we'll cut it off."
We have a way out. Let’s avoid it! Without further ado, let’s call Huang Qifai in first!” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
