Chapter 142: The Treaty of Pliango

"That's right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xu Lang thought secretly as he spoke, forgetting to bring Sun Tianhao here, he fooled people, "Mr. Ruan, we don't represent any aspect now, that is to say, we don't represent the king of Qingdu, only ourselves." We'd like to talk to you about renting Priangor to us? ”

"You're going to rent Brother Prian?" Ruan Youyi didn't believe Xu Lang's words, these people had been shooting here for almost a month, and even the city wall of Puriango had collapsed, just to rent Puriango?

"Mr. Nguyen doesn't have to worry too much." Xu Lang said, "We really just want to rent Brother Purian, as for the war between you and the King of Qingdu, we don't want to interfere, you can fight as you like." ”

"General." Until now, Ruan Youyi didn't ask Xu Lang's name, "Why did the general rent Brother Prian?" ”

"It's our business." Li Fuqiang replied first, "You just tell us whether to rent it to us or not." ”

Ruan Youyi's mind turned: "General Li, are you looking for the wrong person if you want to rent Brother Pulian, this Brother Pulian does not belong to our Annan, it belongs to Zhenla Country." ”

"But now Brother Prian is in the hands of your Ruan Guogong." Xu Lang said, "Eight years ago, you had already obtained the power to build a town and collect taxes here from Zhenla, otherwise you would not have sent reinforcements." ”

"General, who the hell are you?" Ruan Youyi was surprised why Xu Lang knew so much about the history of Puriange.

"Da Ming." Xu Lang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Mr. Ruan, please stand up and take a look at our barracks, and then turn around and look at your Priango city wall." Li Fuqiang said, "Do you think we will leave? I can clearly tell Mr. Nguyen that we did not attack the city only because we did not want to destroy the current prosperity of Pliango, not that we did not have the ability to attack the city. ”

The corners of Ruan Youyi's mouth twitched, he knew very well that Li Fuqiang was telling the truth, if the army on the opposite side forcibly attacked, even if the more than 1,000 reinforcements sent were added, they would not be able to hold Puriango at all, and now the army in the south was basically pinned down on the battlefield by Ruan Qi. But if this army is allowed to occupy Brother Pulian, Ruan Youyi has not thought that if they are really Zheng Jie's army, then this knife inserted from behind may kill Ruan Fuyuan.

"General, I am bold, ask the general again, who is the general?" Ruan Youyi had to humble himself a lot.

"Mr. Ruan, we said, we are Ming people, mercenaries only." Xu Lang wanted to reassure Ruan Youyi, "We have no contradictions with you, there was no grievance in the past, there is no enmity in the near future, we came to Brother Pulian because someone paid for us to come." We want to rent Pliango because we want to make money, that's all. Mr. Ruan, don't worry that we will intervene in the war between you and Zheng Jie in the north, we are only for the silver. ”

"Are you really just in it for the silver?" Ruan Youyi began to believe Xu Lang's words a little, because if Xu Lang was really a subordinate of the King of Qingdu, then he should not call Zheng Jie's name.

"Mr. Ruan, please take a look." Xu Lang said and took out a fold from his clothes and handed it to Ruan Youyi, this is the "Treaty of Pliango" rewritten by Xu Lang according to the model of the "Mingli Treaty of Friendship and Commerce", "Our specific requirements and ideas are all on this. ”

Ruan Youyi took the fold and opened it to look through it slowly, and after a while, Ruan Youyi said: "Two generals, what is said in this treaty is not something we can decide, we need to give it to my father-in-law, it will take some time." ”

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Ruan can go and report it." Li Fuqiang said, "We will limit ourselves to the 15th, and after the 15th, we will still meet here under the white flag." For fifteen days, we stopped shelling, what should you do? However, I also remind Mr. Nguyen that if there is no reply after the fifteenth, I don't think Mr. Nguyen will not want to see Priango turn into a pile of rubble, which will not be good for anyone. ”

Ruan Youyi left with the Treaty of Pliango, and all the traversers held another collective meeting.

"I said you two are really patient, wait fifteen days." Wang Zhaoxing was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "I don't understand, now that even the city wall has collapsed for him, can't we just take it directly, why are you so troublesome." ”

"Lao Wang, this matter is urgent." Xu Lang said, "It's easy to occupy Priango, but our goal can't be achieved." Let us all forget our principle, a divided Vietnam is more beneficial to us than a united Vietnam. So we're going to beat South Vietnam hard, but we can't kill it yet. Besides, if we really take up Brother Pulian directly, what should we do next, Zheng Jie's side will not let us be so easy, he will continue to ask us to attack the Ruan family. When the time comes, let's listen or not, don't forget that Jiang Beiming and they are still in Shenglong Mansion. At this time, it is necessary to engage in some political means. ”

"Commissioner Xu, what you said does have some truth." Zhou Lei asked, "But can we hide the matter from Zheng Jie, don't forget that there is also Zheng Wentong, the prison army, here." ”

"He? Hehehehehe. Xu Lang smiled, "Do you think he still has a chance to return to Thang Long Mansion?" ”

"You don't want to be him, do you?" Zhou Lei shouted, "This doesn't look like your style of Commissioner Xu." ”

"Don't think I'm so hard, okay." Xu Lang said, "I don't dare to kill anyone." However, I asked Li Wenqing to ask him, of course, it was also a bit threatening, but he still agreed to go to Yulin Bay. Let's find an opportunity to send him to Yulin Bay, just keep him with good food and drink, and then find a chance to take his family out. ”

"Then if Zheng Wentong goes to Yulin Bay, how can he tell Zheng Jie, he is a prisoner." Xu Tianbin asked.

"Simple." Xu Lang replied, "Let's just say that he died heroically and died for the country." ”

"Can Zheng Jie, what if he wants to send another prison army?"

"Don't worry." Xu Lang explained, "According to the current communication speed, it will be at least a few months before another one is sent. As long as we have a firm foothold in Pliango, it doesn't matter if we send a few of them. ”

"I think it's better to let Xu Lang handle this matter with full authority." Li Fuqiang said, "It's no problem for us people to fight, when it comes to politics, no one has Xu Lang's brains, and he is a representative of the committee, let him get it." ”

After discussing for a while, there was indeed no better way, so they agreed with Li Fuqiang's opinion and handed over all the matters of negotiations with South Vietnam to Xu Lang.

After another fifteen days, Ruan Youyi did not miss the appointment, and returned to Puliange with Ruan Fuyuan's reply. In the past 15 days, Li Fuqiang accepted Xu Lang's suggestion, gave some of the new troops a holiday, and gave each of them a few dollars of silver, so that they could go to the city of Puliango to buy goods in twos and threes. Priango's defenders began to face the enemy and did not allow these new troops to enter the city at all. As a result, Li Fuqiang ordered these new troops and the people of the pioneer regiment to set up stalls at the gate of the city, don't you let me buy them, then I will sell you something. Unexpectedly, the defenders of Priango became the first customers of these new troops, because they took a fancy to the sapper shovels, bayonets, belts, water bottles and other military supplies put out by the new army. Slowly, as the deals between the two sides got bigger and bigger, the hostility became weaker and weaker. By the time Ruan Youyi returned, the streets were full of bargaining Annan New Army, and Ruan Youyi almost thought that Prianggo had fallen.

"Mr. Ruan, you see how good this is." Xu Lang sat opposite Ruan Youyi, "We are also fair traders, we never bully the market, everyone makes money is earning." ”

"General Xu." Ruan Youyi finally knew Xu Lang's name, "Our Guogong means that we can rent a piece of Puliange's place to you according to the conditions you proposed, and we will also handle it over there." But my family has two requirements, I don't know if General Xu can agree? ”

"What are the requirements, tell me about it."

"First, your troops cannot enter the city of Priango, and can only be stationed in the area leased to you. Second, you must not help Zheng Jie, you must remain neutral. ”

"The second one is perfectly fine, I promise you. But this is the first one. Xu Lang said with a smile, "Mr. Ruan, look at the current Puliango City, our people have also entered the city, not only nothing happened, but it has prospered the Puliango market, isn't this good?" ”

"Just." Ruan Youyi was a little hesitant, Xu Lang was indeed telling the truth, these new troops did not have any undivided actions, "It's just that this is the meaning of my family and country, and I hope General Xu can agree." ”

"That's it, Mr. Nguyen." Xu Lang suggested, "How about we be flexible?" It's a bit unrealistic for us not to go into the city alone, at least we need to buy something, but we can guarantee that no more than a hundred people will enter the city every day, and we won't bring any weapons, what do you think, sir? ”

"That's very good." Ruan Youyi knew that he couldn't stop these new troops from entering the city at all, and when he heard Xu Lang say this, he hurriedly agreed, "I don't know when General Xu will be able to officially sign a contract with us, and the cost of renting land。。。。。。 ”

"Hehe, Mr. Ruan rest assured." Xu Lang beckoned, and someone next to him held the big seal of the Ming Dynasty Rites Department engraved by Lu Tianxiang and someone, "I can use the seal now, the silver, as long as the contract is signed, the silver will be delivered later." ”

The Treaty of Priango was signed, and Yulin Bay leased about 40 square kilometers of land along the coast at a price of 2,000 taels of silver per year, which was less than 2 miles away from the city of Priango, and the lease period was tentatively set at 30 years.

"It's finally done." Xu Langxing rushed to the meeting of the Priangor Traverser, "I have to go back and ask the committee for advice on what to do next, but now it depends on you troops." ”

"Looks like you're going to have to make another run." Li Fuqiang said, "You and Lao Wang go back, report the situation here to your family, and by the way, bring some of the new army back, and then bring the prison army back." ”

"Do you want to bring the new army back now?" Xu Lang was a little hesitant about Li Fuqiang's proposal, "Will it be earlier?" ”

"It's fine." Li Fuqiang replied, "It was originally a decision made earlier to transfer the Annan New Army to Yulin Bay, and it just so happens that Zheng Jie can't control us now, so if he really wants to ask, it can be said that it is a battle casualty." The key is that you go back and let the family come up with a resolution as soon as possible, how to use Brother Prian next, you can't just have an army. ”

"I understand that. But there's one thing you're going to do? Xu Lang asked, "It's already the end of November, and the Chinese New Year will be more than a month away, and the New Year will be held after the year, will you go back or not?" ”

"We guess we'll be able to go back." Zhou Lei said, "Now I have just finished Brother Pulian, and there are many things, so I'm afraid I don't have time." ”

"So be it." Wang Zhaoxing made a suggestion, "Xu Lang and I will go back, let's run more errands, ask the committee what it means, and bring back the topic of the conference after the year, everyone will discuss it here, and we will bring back any opinions." The first general meeting of the year should be more important, and it is necessary to set the tone for the development of the next year, and it is a little inappropriate not to participate. ”

"Okay, so be it." Li Fuqiang made a concluding speech, "Do what Lao Wang said." Our stall is getting bigger and bigger, and there are some things that we can't do, so the two of you will work hard, run a few more times, and bring the meaning of home back as soon as possible. ”

"There's one more question." Xu Tianbin suddenly asked, "It's been more than a month since we came to Brother Pulian, is Zheng Jie's side going to give a message, I'm afraid that we won't be good to Commander Jiang and them if we delay it for a long time." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Lang nodded at Xu Tianbin, "I have already sent a message to Jiang Beiming Feige, he should know all about the situation here, and he will deal with Zheng Jie." ”
