Chapter 11: Fat
Thanks to the "bloody hand Tu Ning Liheng" 100 yuan reward!
The rewards of the big guys made the bones who were selling vegetables and had no time to change their hearts warm, and they fully felt that the world was full of great love.
The bigwigs inspire the bones with practical actions not to dream of making a fortune, or the most honest code words.
If you think about it carefully, the medicine is bitter, and the bigwigs are all real people.
………
Who are our enemies? Why are we fighting them?
Wei Gonggong believes that Li Ruwu must not have explained this problem to his subordinates, and his old man had carried out pre-war mobilization as early as yesterday.
To let the soldiers know the purpose and significance of the battle, is the foundation of the Ming royal army and navy are becoming stronger and stronger.
My father-in-law is a real person and never talks about falsehood.
He said to the soldiers like this: "The treasury is empty today, and Your Majesty's treasury has no silver, so we can't get out of next month's military salary, and our family is still in a difficult situation." But if you can capture that Li Qigongzi, you don't have to worry about this... Why do you want to capture that Li Qigongzi, because this gentleman brother doesn't take our family in his eyes, doesn't put our imperial army in his eyes, he is clamoring in Jinzhou to sweep away my Ming Imperial Army in three days, such an arrogant man, Shi Ke can not bear it, don't give him some color to see, I will be able to dominate the world in the name of the Son of Heaven in the future! …”
Therefore, for the prestige of the Son of Heaven's army, for the future future, and for the next month's salary, the soldiers of the imperial army hated the same enemy and fully carried forward the spirit of fearless heroism.
On the other hand, the officers and men of Jinzhou, except for a few people such as Commander Wei who knew why they were fighting, were kept in the drum, and they didn't even know who their enemy was.
When they suddenly found out that it was also the Ming officers and soldiers who were fighting with them, the officers and soldiers of Jinzhou naturally had no morale and no fighting spirit, and then everyone was indignant and scolded them for letting them fight with the pro-army who were also officers and soldiers.
Under the guarantee of the actual actions of the officers and men of the imperial army and the call of the commander of the guard, Lord Zhao, the officers and soldiers of Jinzhou laid down their weapons one after another and threw themselves into the arms of the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.
Although the status of the guards is low, the Liao people are all good men, and they really can't stand that gentleman Hu Lai.
Li Ruwu is gone, even if there are still Wu Santai and other family members to protect him, he will never dare to stay in this place for another moment.
But in the face of the surging Wei eunuchs, who shouted to capture him alive, Li Ruwu was like a headless fly and didn't know where to go.
This is not to blame him, he has fine clothes and food since he was a child, and he has a smooth sail, how can the seventh son, who is accustomed to being majestic in Liaodong, have experienced such a sinister situation.
At a critical time, Shang Xueli, a guerrilla from the Central Left Institute of Jinzhou, led his son Kejin to lead troops to protect the Seventh Son, and finally escorted Li Ruwu to the Central Left Institute before dark.
But without waiting for the seventh prince to take a breath, he was glad that he would not die in a catastrophe and would have a future blessing, and the Zhongzuo Institute was surrounded by Wei eunuchs.
The center left is not the Jinzhou Acropolis, a total area of less than 100 acres, although there is a city wall to rely on, but the place is too small after all, if the Wei eunuch sent troops to attack the city, the center left will be difficult to hold.
The panicked Li Ruwu also knew that he couldn't stay in the Zhongzuo Institute, so he "begged" the Shang family father and son to take advantage of the night, and Wei Gelding's soldiers and horses were unstable in besieging the city to ensure that he rushed out.
He promised that if he could escape, he would recommend Shang Xueli to his father as the commander of Jinzhouwei, and his son Shang Kejin would succeed him as a guerrilla commander of the Zhongzuo Institute.
Shang Xueli was moved and agreed to break through. Everyone was ready to act in the middle of the night, but as soon as the gate was opened, a fire suddenly appeared outside.
In an instant, a fire dragon surrounded the center and left, and behind the firelight, there were Wei eunuchs and horses who were waiting for them.
Li Ruwu knew that he couldn't break through, so he sat on the wall in frustration, and didn't dare to speak left and right. The Shang family father and son also shook their heads helplessly, and they had nothing to do.
Fortunately, Wei eunuchs did not attack that night, but after dawn, a captured officer came to deliver a letter, saying that the Wei eunuch asked Li Ruwu to tie himself out of the city and ask for surrender, otherwise he would send troops to attack him, and there would be no eyes for swords and guns.
Li Ruwu was still a little bloody, and when he heard that Wei Gelding wanted him to tie himself out of the city, he scolded angrily: "I'd rather die than ask that eunuch to surrender!" ”
Then he untied his sword and put it in front of him, and said to everyone with hatred: "Wei Gelding bullied me too much, if he dares to attack, I will kill myself!" ”
The Shang family father and son did not dare to persuade and stood silently.
Seeing this, the officer who sent the letter said again: "My lord, Gonggong Wei said that if you really refuse to surrender, he will not force you, as long as you break some money." ”
"Broken money?" Li Ruwu was stunned and blurted out, "How much does he want?" ”
………..
If you don't have money, Grandpa Wei doesn't look too seriously.
Therefore, he asked Li Ruwu for 100,000 taels, and in addition, in addition to the captured Jinzhou officers and soldiers who surrendered, Li Ruwu also had to provide him with 1,000 miners.
Gonggong Wei particularly emphasized that these 1,000 miners must all be Liao people.
In addition, Father-in-law Wei had no other requirements, as long as Li Ruwu provided another 3,000 catties of medicine.
The conditions are still quite harsh.
Just say 100,000 taels of silver, Li Ruwu can't take it out. And a thousand Liaomin miners, it is not for him to call the shots. He can give 3,000 catties of medicine, but it's a big deal to transfer it from Gaizhou and Fuzhou.
In line with the principle of having a good talk after talking, everyone sat down calmly and explained the misunderstanding clearly, and then really solved the matter, Li Ruwu ordered Shang Xueli to go out of the city on his behalf and talk to the Wei eunuch in detail.
However, he didn't expect Eunuch Wei to bite the above three conditions to death and never give in. Moreover, he threatened Shang Xueli, and if he couldn't get Li Ruwu's letter within a day, he sent troops to attack the city.
In order to make Li Ruwu aware of his situation, Wei Gonggong ordered a blast outside the center and left. After witnessing the earth-shattering explosion, Li Ruwu returned to the house in a daze and fell asleep.
After waking up, he summoned Shang Xueli over, and after a while, Shang Xueli hanged himself from the city on behalf of Li Ruwu to express his unconditional acceptance of the three conditions to Gonggong Wei.
However, because these three things are relatively difficult to do, it is not difficult to raise money, and it only takes time. However, the matter of the recruitment of miners had to be handled by the yamen of the governor of Liaodong, so he asked Gonggong Wei to give him a grace period of half a month.
Father-in-law Wei was reasonable and understood that Li Qigongzi really needed time, so he readily agreed. However, he said that only after Li Ruwu fulfilled the treaty could he relieve the siege of the central left.
Li Ruwu had no room for bargaining, so he could only write letters to the guards in southern Liaoning according to the requirements of the Wei eunuchs, ordering the Li family generals in those guards to hurry up and raise money, and at the same time writing a letter to Zhang Tao, the governor of Liaodong in Shenyang, requesting that a thousand miners could be requisitioned from various mines.
Gonggong Wei was not idle here, on the one hand, he asked the navy to transport part of the remnants of the Flying Tiger Army to Dengzhou first, and at the same time spent money to rent some sea ships in Dengzhou. On the other hand, he wrote to his good brother Zhenying and his good brother Amanulhachi, hoping that they could subscribe for a part of the maritime bonds to ease the financial pressure on his father-in-law.
