Volume 3 Chapter 167 Surrender to the Lord
Mo Dengyong was intimidated by Yang Cong's series of threats and intimidation, and finally coaxed.
The strength of the Ming army is really desperate, once the war starts, the consequences are unimaginable, he can only choose to surrender to save his life, save his own life, and save the lives of all the relatives of the Mo clan.
But anyone who can have great achievements will be a little extreme in doing things, especially a man in troubled times like Mo Dengyong, who is even more extreme when he does things.
If he does not surrender, he will surrender completely, or once he decides to surrender, he has already begun to think about how to get the most benefit after surrendering.
Sometimes, surrender is also a science!
He thought for a while, then bowed down respectfully, and said sincerely: "My lord, the lower officials are willing to serve the imperial court, in the future, whatever the adults say, the lower officials will do it, and they will never dare to have two hearts." ”
So refreshing?
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He really didn't expect this guy to suddenly make a 180-degree turn, don't say anything, and choose to surrender directly!
This, it was really a bit too sudden, Yang Cong was stunned for a while, and then he suppressed his excitement and pretended to force: "Master Mo, it should be what the imperial court says, you can do it, although this official represents the five southwestern provinces of the imperial court, it is only temporary, you really serve the Ming court, you know?" ”
Mo Dengyong hurriedly nodded and said, "The lower official understands, the lower official understands." ”
This guy has agreed to surrender, what to do next?
Yang Cong thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "Master Mo, why don't you rest and rest first, and then go to Shenglong City with this official tomorrow to hand over?" ”
Damn, I didn't mention any conditions, you just want me to leave everything to you, it's too much.
Mo Dengyong was also stunned when he heard this, didn't this Governor, don't you know that the conditions for subduing one side of the Tyrant are to be negotiated?
He was stunned for a long time, and then cautiously hinted: "My lord, this handover is indeed to be done as soon as possible, but there are some things that the officials still have to report to you, you see." ”
After that, his eyes glanced at both sides as if he was inadvertent, which meant that he wanted to retreat from everyone's secret conversation.
At this time, there are really a lot of people in the handsome tent, not only the Wenchen generals under Yang Cong, but also the Annan officials brought by Mo Dengyong himself, who are crowded with no less than thirty or forty people.
It just so happened that Yang Cong also had something to talk to Mo Dengyong alone, and when he saw Mo Dengyong's expression, he immediately waved his hand without hesitation: "Everyone stand down, Ruzhen, you take Master Mo's men to the State Guest House in Zhizhou Yamen to stay first." Shisuke, you take someone to watch from the outside, remember, no one is allowed to approach the tent. ”
When Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou heard this, they hurriedly surrendered their hands and obeyed the order, and then beckoned people to go out, and Ruan Van Tai and other Annan officials were also taken out by them.
Yang Cong saw that everyone had withdrawn, so he said lightly: "Master Mo, if there is anything, get up and talk about it." ”
When Mo Dengyong heard this, he got up directly from the ground and said, "Your Excellency Governor, I don't know what arrangements the imperial court will make after recovering Annan, can the lower officials manage the Annan place for the imperial court?" ”
This guy simply said his conditions directly.
Yang Cong said noncommittally: "How the court arranges, it depends on the emperor's will, and the official has no right to decide." ”
Yes!
This Governor, don't you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?
When Mo Dengyong heard this, he was stunned again, but he quickly reacted, this governor probably wanted to take advantage.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, there are still dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry left by the previous dynasty in the Imperial Palace of Shenglong City, can the lower officials dare to swallow it privately, or someone will send someone to receive it?" “
This guy, a box of silver is at least hundreds of taels, if it is gold and jewelry, I'm afraid a box is worth tens of thousands of taels.
His shot is more than 100,000 taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels, and ordinary officials are estimated to be happy.
In these years, it is not easy to make some money, the Ming officials' salaries are even more pitiful, the monthly salaries of the six Shangshu and the cabinet scholars are only more than 100 taels, and it is not enough to marry two concubines and recruit some people, and the monthly salaries of the local magistrates and counties are only more than ten taels, not to mention recruiting people, it is a bit difficult to feed a family.
This is also one of the reasons for the corruption of Ming officials, there is no way, if you are not greedy, you will not have a good life.
However, Yang Cong is obviously not among them.
He said lightly: "You may not know yet, this official's family is in business, not to mention anything else, the annual income of the salt business alone is more than one million taels." Keep your little gold and silver jewelry for yourself. ”
Yes!
Mo Dengyong really didn't expect that the governor's family would be so rich, you know, even if he became the king of Annan, he might not be able to earn more than one million taels a year.
It seems that the gold, silver and jewels will not be able to impress the Governor, what should I do?
He rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord, when the lower official came, he hurriedly passed the throne to the eldest grandson, and he didn't have time to choose a concubine for him, otherwise, the official ordered him to choose dozens of show girls, and when the time comes, if the adult lacks a maid or something, just pick it at will." ”
If money doesn't work, then you can only come to beauties, this governor is young, he shouldn't be able to stand it, right?
Unexpectedly, Yang Cong still said lightly: "Forget it, this official already has two wives, one is the daughter of Lord Zhang Yue, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and the other is the sister of Lord Lu Binglu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Lu, you know, the son of the emperor's nurse today, the two brothers and sisters have grown up with the emperor since childhood, you say, are the women of the feudal states qualified to serve them?" ”
Yes!
This Governor has such a deep background!
Mo Dengyong looked at Yang Cong's eyes and suddenly became more reverent, this is amazing, the two ladies are both beautiful women in the sky, can they marry ordinary people?
This governor is estimated to be one of the best figures in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how could he marry these two heavenly ladies.
Such a big character naturally has to work hard, and the problem is that people are not short of money, and they are not moved by beautiful women, what should they do?
He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything else that could impress this big man, and in the end, he could only say helplessly: "My lord, what do you want the lower officials to do?" ”
Yang Cong stared at him for a while, and then said solemnly: "It's very simple, in the future, no matter what, you will listen to the official, and the official will ensure that you are at ease in Annan, which is more comfortable than being the king of Annan." ”
Yes!
Didn't you just say that I should listen to the court, not you?
Mo Dengyong was wrong and was not choked to death by Yang Cong's words.
However, fortunately, he is also one of the best heroes in Annan, this brain is still very good, a big man like the Governor, usually he just can't stammer, at this time people have revealed the intention of solicitation, so why don't you hurry up and paste it.
He hurriedly said: "My lord, if there is anything you command, there is no ambiguity about what the officials can do." ”
Well, that's good.
Yang Cong nodded slightly and said: "Okay, it's good if you have this heart, as long as you do what the official says, Annan is still your Mo's." ”
What a self-confidence he said, Mo Dengyong couldn't help but be sure in his heart.
He knew that he was not with the wrong person, this governor could even interfere in the decision-making of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could there be an official better than him in the Ming Dynasty!
