Chapter 3 Extortion (1) 7.15

With Wu Qiong's reply, Wu Yue's situation unfolded little by little in front of Ma Yun and the ministers. Now Wu Yue's situation is to put it bluntly, it is one point: Qian Hongjun wins in the military, while Hu Sijin wins in the economy. From the beginning of the rebellion, the confrontation between the two armies has evolved into Qian Hongliang's main attack, while Hu Sijin is sitting in the heavy city and fighting against Qian Hongliang.

Qian Hongliang had 30,000 elite soldiers, of which 20,000 were controlled by Qian Hongliang's descendant Bao Xiurang, and 10,000 were constantly replenished in the war and gradually fell into the hands of Li Hanqiu, Wu Qiong's subordinate, in other words, these 10,000 horses were actually under the control of the Chu State. In addition to these 30,000 elite soldiers, Qian Hongliang also has 3oooo ordinary village soldiers, which are completely under Wu Qiong's control. Back then, Qian Hongliang fled from Hangzhou to Fuzhou, and none of the ministers in Hangzhou went south, so he could only rely on Bao Xiurang and Wu Qiong in employing people.

Saying that Qian Hongliang couldn't hold on anymore was not that his army was going to be defeated, but that the taxes in Fuzhou and other places could no longer support such a protracted war. In this case, if Qian Hongliang wants to survive, there are only two ways, one is to defeat Hu Sijin and quell the rebellion, and the other is to turn around and attack Wuzhou and other places that are on the sidelines, and grab where the taxes are for his own use. However, neither of these methods is feasible, first, Hu Sijin is not so easy to be defeated, and second, attacking Wuzhou, Muzhou, Quzhou and other places can only make Wuzhou, Muzhou, Quzhou and other places hug together, or fall to Hu Sijin, or simply fall to Dachu.

Chu went south to Han and conquered Tang in the east, this ambition to mix up the world has long been obvious, Wu Yue is in chaos like this, and those officials in Wuzhou are not fools, rather than waiting to follow King Wu Yue to surrender to Great Chu in the future, they will not take the initiative to surrender. The reason why they haven't immediately fallen to Chu State now is not because they are loyal to Wu Yue, but because they see that Chu State has no intention of attacking Wu Yue for the time being, and they want to take the opportunity to get more money and enjoy more happiness.

Ma Yun asked: "Wu Aiqing, did Qian Hongqi send you, did he want to invite our Dachu to send troops, or just out of courtesy, to simply congratulate him?" ”

"King, now that Qian Hongliang is already burning his eyebrows, how can he have such idleness. He sent me, firstly, because he wanted His Majesty to be a minister and wanted to send important ministers to show his sincerity, and secondly, because Weichen's status in Qian Hongliang was not low, and he could make some decisions for him in some matters. Qian Hongliang's meaning was mainly to borrow some grain and grass from the king, and secondly, he wanted to ask the king to relax the control of merchant ships in Quanzhou and other places, and allow merchants from Wenzhou, Fuzhou and other places to go south to Guangzhou to do business. Wu Qiong said respectfully.

Ma Yun groaned: "Then what did Qian Hongliang come up with?" ”

"There are two plans, one is to cede Muzhou, Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang), and Quzhou (now Quzhou, Zhejiang) in exchange for 5o million quintals of grain, 1o thousand taels of silver, or 50,000 horses of silk, and the other is to cede Fuzhou in exchange for 2o million quintals of grain and 1o thousand taels of silver, of course, these two plans are to go to His Majesty's agreement to open the ports of Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Haizhou and other places, and allow Wuyue merchants to go to the South Seas, as well as to enter the Central Plains north. At the same time, His Majesty also canonized Wu Yue, Wang Yongzhen, Wu Yue. Wu Qiong said.

Ma Yun smiled and shook his head: "Qian Hongliang's appetite is so big." ”

Li Xiang sneered: "This Qian Hongliang is a typical bachelor, hehe, he wants to borrow our grain and grass, and he is not willing to cut his own meat, how can this Wuzhou, Muzhou, and Quzhou listen to his Qian Hongliang." These people are simply Fujian's retention in the first two years, and they want to take the opportunity to secede! Besides, this Fuzhou was originally the territory of the King of Fujian, and they had just won it for only two years, and it was not painful for them to cut it, but they had to exchange us for so much money and food. ”

Wu Qiong also smiled: "Yes, it's really like this." Weichen also has no way, this Qian Hongliang is not a fool, although Mingzhou is poorer, but close to the sea, if the southbound channel is opened, then the situation in Mingzhou and other places will immediately improve! Moreover, Qian Hongliang is also expected to agree to this first plan. ”

Ma Yun became interested: "Oh, how did he expect it?" ”

Wu Qiong's expression was stunned, and she couldn't wait to slap herself in the mouth, why didn't she open which pot to mention. Ma Yun, the king of Chu, may not know that after the propaganda of Jiangnan West Taoist Shilin, this Ma Yun's image in the countries has fallen to the extreme, and he is simply a guy who plucks his feathers and only seeks profit, he wants to rub oil when he sees a beautiful woman, and he is like a scoundrel who robs when he sees a rich businessman. This guy can sit and never stand, and he can lie down and never sit. Comparing the two plans, it is obvious that Fuzhou does not need to use knives and guns, and Ma Yun will inevitably adopt this plan. Wu Qiong was hesitant for a while, and he didn't know how to reply.

Ma Yun looked at Wu Qiong's appearance and suddenly understood. He smiled indifferently: "Wu Aiqing, didn't Qian Hongliang mean to ask our Great Chu to send troops to quell the chaos?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that there is nothing, but Qian Hongqi has scruples. Now Hu Sijin and Qian Hongliang's army are not arranged near Yuezhou, and other places are relatively empty, and they are also afraid that after His Majesty sends troops, the momentum will be like a bamboo, and this city will be defeated by Dachu, so naturally there is no way to go back. Qian Hong's ambition is great and talented, Wu Yue is now in this mess, he also hopes to restore the scenery of his grandfather Qian Mu's time, and hopes to regain control of the twelve states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, divide one side, and be the king forever. ”

Ma Yun smiled gloomily: "Now he only has five states, and all he thinks about is twelve states, really let this person take the place of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and when we compete with Pseudo Zhou, this guy may jump out and harass us." Jiangnan Dongdao, be sure to take it down! ”

"What if the widow gets Fuzhou and sends troops to Quzhou? How will Qian Hongliang react? Jack Ma asked.

"What Qian Hongliang means is that if Your Majesty gets Fuzhou, then you will have to sign a document with Your Majesty, which is to establish Wu Yue's status as a vassal state, and Quzhou and other places are under the jurisdiction of Wu Yue." Wu Qiong said.

"Hahaha, negotiation, how can he do what he wants, the widow in Fuzhou wants it, and somewhere else, I'm going to ask Hu Sijin what he thinks."

Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty is very right, now Wu Yue's envoy is not just Lord Wu, let's listen to the conditions of Hu Sijin's people over there, maybe they are willing to put a bigger chip." ”

"Yes." Ma Yun nodded.

Zhao Pu's eyes rolled: "Lord Wu, do you and that Wu Cheng live in the same station?" So he must know about your entry into the palace today. ”

Wu Qiong is not a fool, he knew the meaning when he heard the sound of the strings, he smiled: "You know, that Wu Cheng is still very envious of the lower officials?" What Lord Zhao meant, but did he say that he wanted to send some rumors after the officials went back? ”

Zhao Pu nodded: "Lord Wu can say that what we want in Dachu is Fuzhou, Wenzhou, and Chuzhou, and this appetite is too big, so you can only hesitate." ”

Wu Qiong smiled: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao, the lower official understands what to say, after returning to the post station, the lower official is afraid that he will be thundered and drop a few cups." ”

A room full of people smiled heartily.
