Chapter 104 The Alliance Under the City

Shen Chenquan, Chen Qianfu, Yu Dafu, Shen Wenzhong and other civil servants had just been watching and did not speak. They just let Zhang Mingyang play the role of the villain.

At this meeting, Mr. Yan and Li Yuchun went down to discuss the matter. Shen Chenquan asked Zhu Yihai.

"I think Li Thief was really willing to leave with only 500 people."

"You can't come here just when you say you want to come, or leave when you say you want to leave." Zhu Yihai poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then what is His Highness's plan? There is nothing you can get out of these people. Could it be that Your Highness wants them to surrender completely?"

Zhu Yihai took a sip of tea and slowly said to these confidants, "Although Mr. Yan was acting just now, what he said is actually what I am worried about now. Even if we can really eat these five people like Thief Li, Thousands and five troops, but what is the result? It must be a shock to Hangzhou. Hangzhou's commander-in-chief Bolo is preparing to lead the Eight Banners troops back to Beijing. Now Zhang Cunren, the puppet governor of Zhejiang appointed by the northern captives, and Tian Xiong, the Japanese admiral of Zhejiang, have both arrived and are doing something. Hand over, if we suddenly wipe out all these 5,005 troops, how do you think Bolo will react?"

Shen Chenquan replied without hesitation, "If this is the case, Bolo may lead troops to attack before retreating."

"Yes, this is indeed the case, and it must be like this. Although we have achieved some victories now, our strength is still very different from that of the Tartars. This must be faced squarely. We still need buffer time and need to fight for it. With more time to develop and grow, the best way is to let Bolo and the others withdraw as planned."

"But His Highness was determined to lead the northern expedition before. Why not wait until Boluo withdraws his troops before going north?" Yu Dafu asked.

Zhu Yihai cannot directly say that he is a time traveler. He knows the direction of history and knows that a wave of uprisings will soon break out in Jiangnan. And before Bolo and the others withdraw to Beijing, they will lead the surrendered generals and surrender their troops to unleash a wave of inhumane bloodshed on Jiangnan. Massacre and suppression.

He wants to change history and cannot sit in eastern Zhejiang and watch all this happen.

But now that I'm here, I have to guard against getting caught up in it. It's like dancing on a tightrope. It's very difficult.

"We have to find a way to hide the truth from Bolo, and this Li Yuchun is the key. Only through him can we deceive Bolo. We want to save the chaos in Jiangnan and regain the lost ground, but we can't alert Bolo or even alert him. Attack with all your strength."

Shen Chenquan and others understood Zhu Yihai's plan and felt it was a bit whimsical.

Li Yuchun was a surrendered general whose hands were stained with the blood of Ming soldiers and civilians. Such a person had no faith at all, so how could he help them.

the other side.

Under the bright sun, Li Yuchun didn't care that his scalp was burning due to the sun, and asked my father-in-law Yan very anxiously, "Mr. Yan, what should we do now?"

"Please trust the students and stop talking for a while. Let me talk to the fake admiral Zhu Wu. Now we have to collapse and cannot retreat easily, otherwise the other side will advance step by step. By then we will There is no room left. Now we are determined that we still have 3,500 troops in our hands, and we must pretend to be willing to die together and force them to make concessions, instead of giving in over and over again."

Li Yuchun is now like a drowning person. When he sees a straw, he thinks it is life-saving.

"Okay, I will listen to everything sir."

Finally, they returned to the shady camphor tree.

"Drinking tea, how are you thinking?"

Zhu Yihai poured a cup of tea for Yan and Gong.

Sure enough, Yan Woggong changed his tone and became tougher.

"If we follow the Ministry's proposal, even if we leave with 500 people, we will lose our troops, lose the city and territory, and in the end we will die. Marshal Bolo will not let us go. Since both the left and right are dead, it is better to follow the troops.

If we fight to the death, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Hmph, if you still want to have a chance to survive under my tens of thousands of troops, just dream. The result will be that you will all be killed." Zhu Wu said coldly.

"Maybe, but we have to fight to the death to pull in a few backers, and the ministry will lose thousands of people. Even if we die, the court will still have to give us pensions. At least our wives, children, and children at home will be able to

Receive pension and care.”

"So, there is no more talk?" Zhu Yihai narrowed his eyes.

Next to him, Zhang Mingyang once again transformed into a violent beast, stepped forward and threatened the two people from a high position, "Lord, let me kill these two guys who want to die right now."

"It fulfilled them."

"Budang, why not listen to the students' suggestions and find a win-win situation?"

Zhu Yihai and Yan Woggong were singing harmony, Zhang Mingyang was still shouting at the side from time to time to draw a knife to kill people, Li Yuchun kept silent the whole time, and kept sweating.

Then we talked back and forth, and slowly came up with several new agreements.

The general content is that Li Yuchun and others are willing to cooperate with Zhu Wu, but they must also be given a way to survive. They are willing to hand over their money and captured young men and women to Zhu Wu, but it is not them who want to leave, but the ones who want to leave.

After receiving the money, Zhu Wu and the others had to cooperate with them in putting on a show so that they could explain to Hangzhou.

At that time, there was a great victory in Zhujiazhuang. Li Yuchun and Jishiha led 5,500 troops to fight Zhu Wu here. After a bloody battle, Zhu Wu was defeated. His general, Chen Wu, had 10,000 elite soldiers. The entire army was annihilated and was defeated.

Li Yuchun killed the general and captured the flag.

The 8,000 elite troops of Wang Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the army, were all wiped out under the attack of Jishha. Dynasty only escaped with his own life, but he was surrounded when Jishha pursued him. Li Yuchun led his troops to fight to save him, but he was seriously injured.

He died soon after.

In this battle, two of Zhu Wu's elite troops were annihilated, one general soldier was killed and one general soldier was killed, more than 10,000 enemies were wiped out, and tens of thousands of people were routed. Li Yuchun and his men also lost 5,500 men and horses.

Two thousand soldiers were killed, especially the 500 Manchurian soldiers. Because of Ji Shiha's temporary underestimation of the enemy, they were surrounded during the pursuit and were finally wiped out.

Although the battle situation was dangerous, Li Yuchun finally defeated the puppet Ming rebels. They were defeated. Li Yuchun not only won a great victory at Zhujiazhuang, but also took advantage of the situation to march into Haiyan. He defeated and suppressed the Haiyan rebellion of Zheng Jiwu and Zhu Gangda, and then took advantage of the situation to enter Jiaxing Fucheng. Jiaxing

Hundreds of rebel forces, large and small, throughout the territory were defeated one after another.

"What you think is wonderful!" Zhang Mingyang clenched his fist and was about to hit someone.

Zhu Yihai stopped him and said calmly, "Why should we act for you?"

"Since it is cooperation, it is a win-win situation, and each has its own benefits. We will never let your acting go in vain. As long as you are willing to cooperate, then we will report victory to Hangzhou and say that everything here is peaceful and under control, and Hangzhou will not

We will send troops to attack you, but you will definitely not be able to defeat Hangzhou. In this way, you will also be safe. I am good to you, and everyone is good to you, right?"

"This is not enough." Zhu Yihai said.

"Now we are willing to give you one hundred thousand taels of silver, and in addition, we will hand over to you all the strong men drawn from the army and the captive women."

"not enough."

"When we go to Haiyan, the admiral asked Zheng Jiwu and the others to cooperate in the scene of recapture. Then after we enter the city, we will persuade the gentry, merchants and landlords to donate and raise money. I will give you another ten thousand taels. When we get to Jiaxing, we will give you another twenty thousand taels.

.”

Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "Jiaxing has one prefecture and seven counties, and Haining has one city and two thousand households."

Yan Wogong immediately said, "One county town has 10,000 taels, one prefectural city has 20,000 taels, and one has two wards. How about giving them all in total one hundred thousand taels?"

"What about buying groceries?" Zhu Yihai rolled his eyelids.

Negotiations reached a stalemate again.

"What's the proposal from that department?" Yan Wogong asked.

"I am the Jiangnan Admiral of the Northern Expedition ordered by the Supervisor of the Kingdom, and I will lead the king's army to regain the lost territory. Do you think I will treat my Ming Dynasty's city and people as goods?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Seeing that Zhu Yihai was about to get angry, Li Yuchun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, fearing that the conversation would break down again, so he quickly reached out to pull Yan's clothes to ask him to give in first.

"It's a student's misnomer. Jiaxing is still under the control of Qing officials. As long as the ministers don't come to attack, we are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver for each county and the prefectural city."

Pay twenty thousand taels."

"As long as all the prefectures and counties are in our hands, Hangzhou will believe Li Junmen's words and will not send troops to suppress them. This will also be beneficial to the Lord."

Li Yuchun was following Mr. Yan's words at this time. He had no idea of ​​his own at all. Instead, he felt that Mr. Yan was really a god and could come up with such a good way to solve the problem.

As for money, he doesn't care at all. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. As long as the green hills are left, are you worried about having no firewood? As long as he can really reach an agreement with the fake admiral Zhu Wu, not only can he save his life, but even his own.

The men and horses can be saved, and even the territory of Jiaxing can be saved.

There are men, horses, swords, guns, and territory. In a prosperous place like Jiaxing, one or two hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing. You can grab it casually.

There is no shame in redeeming a city for money, and even among countries, they pay tribute as vassals.

He felt that Mr. Yan was really powerful, and he could think of all kinds of ways to turn danger into safety.

He just stood there and watched Yan Wogong talk about the young pseudo-admiral Zhu Wu and nodded frequently. Although the stout Zhang Mingyang always interrupted, fortunately Yan Wogong was very good.

In the end, Zhu Wu was persuaded.

The final agreement reached was that before dark, Li Yuchun could take five hundred of his men to leave Zhujiazhuang and go to Jiaxing Prefecture. Each person was allowed to bring only one weapon and three days of dry food, and the rest were all horses, mules, carriages, money, food, equipment, and tractors.

The young men who came and the women who were snatched away were not allowed to be taken away.

Of course, the Ming army would cooperate with the show and pretend that Li Yuchun led troops to raid the admiral's military camp and then suffered a rout.

However, the premise of this scene is that Li Yuchun and the others leave the city first, and Zhu Yihai will send a team of soldiers at the door to check whether they have brought more money, food, weapons, troops, etc. as promised.

Only after they fully fulfilled their contract and left the city, Zhu Yihai would agree to pretend to let them raid the Zhongjun camp, and then pretend to be broken up.

This is going to be a pretty rough scene.

But Li Yuchun was very satisfied with what he heard, so he left Zhujiazhuang with 500 people and went to Jiaxing Fucheng first. Once there, the lost silver, young men, and women could be replaced immediately, and he could immediately pull up the team again.

.

But in the end, Li Yuchun still put forward an additional condition, risking Zhu Wu's displeasure. He pointed at Yan Wo Gong and pointed out that Yan Wo Gong was his life and death friend, so he hoped that Zhu Wu would not embarrass Yan Jiayang.

The Yan Wo Gong people, similarly, the squires who assisted Yan Wo Gong to help him last night were able to avoid being embarrassed and even let them follow him to leave for Jiaxing.

Regarding this additional request, Zhu Yihai just snorted and replied, "It's okay to ask the headquarters to let them go. Each squire can take them away if they pay a ransom of one thousand taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, Li Yuchun actually agreed generously, "Can you first send people from the prison camp to us, one thousand taels each, but we have to wait until we return to Jiaxing before giving them."

Zhu Yihai also had a rare act of generosity and waved his hand to express his agreement, but Li Yuchun and Yan Wogong had to sign a cooperation agreement with him first, and at the same time write down two IOUs, one of which was for the city redemption fee of 100,000 yuan owed to Jiaxing Prefecture County.

Two pieces of silver, one part for the redemption fees owed.

"Isn't it good to put it in black and white?" Li Yuchun hesitated. If you sign a contract for this kind of thing, wouldn't it be a trap?

Zhu Yihai laughed and said, "It's empty talk. Do you plan to deny it in the future?"

"That's absolutely not the case."

"That's it, just sign, put your thumbprint, and then it's settled. Otherwise, everything we just talked about will be invalid. Don't worry, as long as you act in accordance with the agreement, I won't be able to cheat you. But if you don't think about it after you leave,

Accept it, and when the time comes when this contract is everywhere, don't blame me for cheating you."

Li Yuchun was sweating profusely and kept saying he didn't dare, so he had no choice but to sign his name and have his fingerprints pressed.

Anyway, let’s run away first.
