Got the emperor's secret decree, Wei Linhan frowned, "crowning the king" is really a good way, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has not been a king with a different surname, and the leader of the anti-thief can be crowned the king, it is definitely the emperor's gift, and the anti-thief does not agree.

Use "Feng Wang" to make the anti-thieves agree to a truce, and you can also use "Feng Wang" to make the anti-thieves civil strife, give the big leader of the anti-thieves (Fang Nan) a king, and give the second leader of the anti-thieves (Wang Shengrong), the third leader (Yan Han), the fourth leader (He Yan), and the fifth leader (Xiong Jian) also a king, even if there is a teacher-student relationship between them, it can cause chaos.

After thinking about the matter, Wei Linhan immediately took action and made an appointment with Cheng Xinyuan to prepare for a new negotiation.

Cheng Xinyuan was a little unimpressed when he saw Wei Linhan's new conditions, and the teacher would definitely not agree to this condition, but this matter involved the teacher, and Cheng Xinyuan still had to write to the teacher to tell the teacher that the negotiations would be postponed for a few days before they could continue.

After ending the negotiations with Cheng Xinyuan, Wei Linhan wrote four more letters, sending people to Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan, and Xiong Jian, which stated that they would help the Ming court and the People's Army to stop fighting on the condition of "sealing the king".

Wei Linhan thought, even if the big leader of the anti-thief did not agree, as long as the other leaders had ideas, this strategy would be a success, as long as the anti-thief had dissent within him, Da Ming would be able to exterminate the anti-thief one day sooner or later.

However, Wei Linhan thought too much, Fang Nan did not agree to be crowned king, and Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan, and Xiong Jian, who had received Wei Linhan's letters, also made a decision without hesitation, and the Ming court's "king" conditions were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the top leaders of the People's Army.

On the tenth day after Wei Linhan came up with the conditions of "sealing the king", Wei Linhan and Cheng Xinyuan met again and continued to negotiate.

As soon as the two met, Cheng Xinyuan threw the letters written by Wei Linhan to Wang Shengrong, Yan Han, He Yan, and Xiong Jian on the table, and Wei Linhan was shocked when he saw these four letters.

"The leader of the thieves doesn't have the idea of becoming a king at all?"

Wei Linhan felt very incredible, the king, this is a glorious thing, how could a mere thief disagree, it is really hateful.

I have to say that Wei Linhan still has the pride of the Ming courtiers in his bones, and in the face of the "anti-thief" whose strength is already stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Linhan is also difficult to let go of this pride.

"Discord meter? You just want to perish sooner? Okay, wait for our People's Army to manage the newly occupied territory in a few months, and immediately wave its troops north! Cheng Xinyuan said angrily.

"Calm your anger, please stop your anger, this is a misunderstanding, everyone in the People's Army is a hero, and they should be crowned kings......"

Wei Linhan said a word, and finally persuaded this young man who was nearly twenty years younger than himself, but what should he do after persuading him, the strategy of sealing the king had no effect, but attracted the anger of the People's Army, and the Ming Court couldn't take out much silver for the People's Army, how could he take such an unlucky errand.

Looking at Wei Linhan's hesitant appearance, unable to come up with new conditions, Cheng Xinyuan said directly:

"Forget it, since you can't come up with the conditions, then I'll tell you a few conditions, Guizhou is our People's Army, and this Huguang, there is a lack of a piece of the Yangtze River North region, it is not satisfactory, Huguang Yangtze River North Region is also our People's Army, you will compensate another 10 million taels of silver, as long as you agree to these conditions, our People's Army can stop fighting with you, if you don't agree, forget it, and in a few months, our People's Army will directly wave its army north."

Hearing these conditions put forward by Cheng Xinyuan, Wei Linhan immediately couldn't sit still.

"Don't, don't, I can't make decisions about these conditions of Minister Cheng, please give me half a month, and I will send these conditions back to the capital."

"Okay, then give you half a month to make a decision early, there are the most main battle factions in our People's Army, and I can't wait to wave the army north."

After speaking, Cheng Xinyuan left with someone, looking at Cheng Xinyuan's back, Wei Linhan raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Fear, anger, worry, helplessness, all kinds of emotions were mixed in Wei Linhan's heart, this thief is really arrogant, he actually wants to cede the land, and he also needs 10 million taels of silver, how can Daming take it out.

But the anti-thief is powerful, no one in the Ming Dynasty can resist the anti-thief, if he does not agree to the conditions of the anti-thief, the anti-thief will continue to fight, how can the Ming resist the anti-thief?

"Alas!"

Wei Linhan sighed, now all he can do is to delay as much time as possible, and when he returns to Jiande County, Wei Linhan wrote a letter, which includes the failure of the king's policy and the conditions for the armistice of the People's Army, and ordered people to send them back to the capital quickly.

In the KPA-ruled areas, a new recruitment program is underway, and the KPA recruits troops in Guangdong every year, and can now recruit troops in the newly occupied provinces of Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Huguang.

As a matter of fact, the People's Army's recruitment in Guangdong is almost at the limit, and the People's Army will not recruit all the young and strong men of the appropriate age, which will have a huge impact on agriculture and industry.

Nowadays, the minimum age limit for recruitment of the People's Army is 18 years old, and every year there will be new recruits who reach the age of joining the army, and they can sign up for the People's Army.

It was no longer possible to recruit too many people in Guangdong, and now the People's Army had placed its main recruiting sites in the four newly occupied provinces, and the goal of the People's Army was to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and after the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, there would be enough troops to defend the various places and defend the four borders.

Before the People's Army raised the flag, there were millions of Ming troops in the Ming Court, so many troops, the situation of the Ming Court was not good, there were Tatars who came to attack repeatedly, and the Ming Court only had the power to defend, but it could not take the initiative to attack the Tatars, as well as the Japanese from the sea, and so on.

The number of troops is more than 10,000, and the strength of the People's Army is much stronger than that of the Ming Army, and even so, the People's Army must have enough troops to rule the land of China to defend against foreign enemies, and Fang Nan set an amount - one million.

This is a three-year plan for the expansion of the People's Army, and within three years, the People's Army will expand from the current strength of more than 300,000 troops to 1 million, and the strength of the People's Army will directly triple.

With the current situation of the People's Army, there is not much problem in raising a 1 million army, ordinary soldiers do not have military salaries, and the military fields allocated to ordinary soldiers are their military salaries, and for ordinary soldiers, the fields are already very good military salaries.

The key is whether the current situation in the KPA-ruled areas can be expanded to 1 million.

The entire KPA-ruled area has not yet had time to conduct a population count, but it is estimated that the total population will exceed 30 million, and it seems that there is no problem in expanding the army to 1 million with such a large population, but in the past few years, the Ming court has been frantically recruiting troops in the new territory of the KPA, and even catching young and strong.

The Ming court's actions had a certain impact on the KPA's expansion plan.
