On the second day after the Ming army took Ganzhou, a contingent of envoys came from the direction of Guangdong.

There were hundreds of people in this procession, escorting boxes of gold and silver from the south, and they looked huge from afar.

Naturally, this was sent by Shang Kexi.

Although Shang Kexi had led his troops back to Guangzhou, he did not forget that his son was still in the hands of the Ming army.

He thought about it, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease, for fear that his precious son would be wronged.

Only then did he grit his teeth and take out 100,000 taels of gold, and 1 million taels of silver and ordered people to send them to Jiangxi.

Originally, this team was going to Nanchang, but as soon as they walked to the Ganjiang River, they heard that the army had already defeated the Ganjiang River. And the emperor of the Ming court is now in Ganjiang City.

In this way, where do they need to go to Nanchang, they can directly ask to see Yongli in Ganjiang.

Zhu Youlang was already preparing to leave for Nanjing, but when he heard that the envoy sent by Shang Kexi had arrived, he reluctantly agreed to meet him.

How to deal with Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao is a dynamic strategy that will be adjusted at any time as the situation changes.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhu Youlang certainly does not want to tear his face directly, so that the Ming army will be in a state of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

Especially Shang Kexi, his son is in the hands of Zhu Youlang, if Zhu Youlang doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be too tyrannical.

Of course, Shang Kexi wants to save his son's life, as long as Zhu Youlang's conditions are met, Zhu Youlang will order someone to eat and drink well for Shang Zhixin to arrange, and make this guy fat for nothing.

However, this condition must be set by Zhu Youlang, and Shang Kexi has no bargaining power.

Since there was no palace in Ganjiang Mansion, Zhu Youlang decided to meet with the envoy representatives sent by Shang Kexi at the palace.

After some careful inspection, Shang Yongzhong, a henchman sent by Shang Kexi, entered the palace with trepidation and was taken to the second hall where Zhu Youlang was.

Although Shang Yongzhong had been mentally prepared, he still felt very nervous when he really stepped into the mansion surrounded by Ming soldiers.

These armorers have swords in their hands, and if he says the wrong thing, he will be chopped into mashed meat.

Shang Yongzhong kept telling himself that he must be low-key and low-key.

Keep your posture lower, so at least your life won't be a problem.

However, it was said that after Shang Yongzhong came to the second hall, he immediately pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt down on the ground and called long live.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

He didn't even see Zhu Youlang's face clearly, and tried his best to leave a good impression on Da Mingzi.

After all, his current life is in Zhu Youlang's hands, as long as Zhu Youlang hooks his fingers, he can make his head fall to the ground.

Zhu Youlang was obviously in a good mood, and said softly: "Raise your head." ”

Shang Yongzhong sighed in his heart.

The emperor told him to raise his head, but he didn't tell him to be flat, and it didn't seem that he recognized his identity.

Shang Yongzhong had no choice but to do so.

Zhu Youlang carefully looked at the messenger in front of him.

This person has good facial features and clear eyebrows.

Judging by the age, it should be around forty years old, and it belongs to the typical northerners.

This should be the old man who followed Shang Kexi to the north and south, no wonder Shang Kexi sent him.

"What do you want to see me?"

"Your Majesty, the villain was sent by the prince of Pingnan, and the prince asked the villain to personally deliver the 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver to His Majesty."

Shang Yongzhong finished his words in one breath as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it, would he say it so directly would it hurt Emperor Yongli's self-esteem?

After all, no matter how you say that Yongli is also the Son of Heaven, even if you send a ransom, you can't be so direct, you have to cover it up to some extent.

It's just that Zhu Youlang's subsequent words stunned Shang Yongzhong.

"That's a little bit of money, isn't it?"

Shang Yongzhong said that this emperor is too direct, even if you feel less in your heart, don't say it.

"Well, if Your Majesty has additional needs, the villain can bring a message to the prince."

Zhu Youlang has always had something to say, one million taels of silver is indeed a lot, but with the strength of the Shang family, it is not difficult to make up one million taels.

Although Shang Kexi's flesh hurts, it is not to the point of breaking his muscles and bones.

"Gold and silver alone really don't have any sincerity. I mean that the Shang family may be able to use firearms for cash. As for the Franc mechanic, I also need it, presumably the Shang family will not refuse, right? ”

Although Zhu Youlang said it lightly, Shang Yongzhong felt a strong murderous aura from it.

As if Shang Yongzhong didn't agree, the next moment Zhu Youlang would order the knife and axe hand to cut him down.

"Well, this villain can't call the shots. But the villain will definitely show his strength to my lord. ”

Shang Yongzhong did not say anything to death, but expressed sufficient respect for Zhu Youlang.

In this regard, Zhu Youlang was not too harsh.

He bowed his head slightly and said: "One hundred cannons, three thousand guns, and five hundred Franc mechanics will be sent to Jiangxi within a month." No problem, right? ”

"Ahh

Shang Yongzhong was stunned.

This Yongli Emperor is really a lion's mouth.

It's just that now he has no other choice but to follow Zhu Youlang's words and admit it, so he can only force a smile and say, "Your Majesty, the villain must bring your orders." ”

He paused, swallowed and foamed, "My family..."

"The life of your son depends on Shang Keqing's attitude. If Shang Kexi can satisfy me, Shang Zhixin will naturally live a good life. Otherwise..."

Zhu Youlang didn't finish speaking, but Shang Yongzhong already understood what he meant.

Hiss! Such a powerful aura, this is the power of the superior, right?

In fact, Zhu Youlang hadn't exerted much strength yet, and he never thought that Shang Yongzhong would be scared like this.

"The villain understands that when the villain returns to Guangzhou, he will bring His Majesty's words!"

Shang Yongzhong kowtowed several times in a row.

"If there's nothing else to do, just step down."

Zhu Youlang felt a little tired, so he waved his hand.

"The villain quits."

Shang Yongzhong's vest was already soaked, and he got up and retreated as if he had been pardoned at this moment.

The impression left on him by Emperor Yongli was too deep.

Before that, he had always felt that Emperor Yongli was cowardly and incompetent, timid and afraid of things, but he was just a puppet raised by Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo is equivalent to Cao Cao, and Yongli is equivalent to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Very face-painted judgment.

But now it seems that Yongli is a true emperor, even compared to those famous emperors in history.

The kind of posture in which the superior person lifts his weight lightly and is not angry and arrogant cannot be pretended.

No wonder Ao Bai can't beat Yongli, and even Hong Chengchou has become Yongli's defeated general.

Now it seems that this is perfectly normal.

Shang Yongzhong didn't want to stay in Ganjiang City for even a moment, and after leaving the mansion, he immediately summoned the left and right to go out of the city.

First, he was anxious to bring the news back to Guangzhou and explain the situation to Wang Pingnan.

Second, he was also worried that Yongli would regret it, so he detained him and his relatives.

After leaving the city, Shang Yongzhong no longer concealed his desires, and fiercely shook the horsewhip and clamped the horse's belly and headed south.
