Chapter 228: A Little Different
Cui Qixiao approached Ren Pingsheng's side seriously and whispered a few words. Ren Pingsheng turned his head, looked at Qin Fei, turned around and said to the children who were reading: "The book, I have finished reading, and next, each person will write a hundred family names." When you're done, you can go home and play. ”
The children couldn't help but cheer in low voices, and a few naughty ones even dared to shout, "Then you can play with us too!" ”
Ren Pingsheng smiled slightly, didn't have an interface, and turned around and walked towards Qin Fei's place.
He looked confident, and he didn't bring a single entourage except for Cui Qixiao. His steps are very steady, and those who have been begging for a living on the boat for many years, if the plate is unstable, they will be a waste when they get on the boat, and they will fight a fart battle. Ren Pingsheng walked up to Qin Fei and said softly, "Qin Fei? Governor Qin? Your name is very loud, I have heard of you, but I didn't expect you to come alone. ”
Qin Fei said with a smile: "Bring people here, that's a war." I'm not interested in fighting you. Just to discuss one thing with you. ”
Ren Pingsheng's eyes moved lightly, and he said leisurely: "Say!" ”
"I want you to surrender to me!"
As soon as Qin Fei's words came out, Cui Qixiao changed color, but Ren Pingsheng remained silent, and then asked, "Why?" ”
"The prince came to Anton and said that he was going to go to sea with his future wife to play. Considering that the pirates in the East China Sea are very rampant, the prince decided to exterminate you first for his own safety before going to sea to play. The entire naval division of Andong and the three fleets of the surrounding provinces have been ordered to assemble in this area. The military is very large, and if my intelligence is correct, the strength of the sailors and warships dispatched this time is about three times that of yours. ”
Qin Fei sighed lightly: "If you hit it hard, your chances of winning are very small." ”
"The general has not been defeated." Cui Qixiao reminded Qin Fei: "When fighting on the water, it is not that if you have more ships and more soldiers, you will definitely win. If victory could be achieved by simply piling up the number of people, then Great Wei should have unified the world a long time ago. ”
Qin Fei ignored Cui Qixiao's words, but looked at Ren Pingsheng: "It's just that you can't afford to fight, unless you are willing to abandon the island and flee." But the territory you have worked hard for more than ten years has been so willingly taken away? ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded slowly, what Qin Fei said was not wrong. If you fight, you may not lose, but you are different from the Chu State Water Division. The sailors can afford to lose, their coach is the prince, and no one will blame the prince if they lose. Their troops can be replenished, the warships are depleted, and the shipyards can continue to produce. And not on their own, people, it is difficult to replenish when they die, especially experienced sailors and fighters. The production capacity of battleships was even weaker. Moreover, this base, I really can't afford to lose it. If it really starts, it's a battle he can't afford to lose.
A salty sea breeze blew past the three of them, Ren Pingsheng's mind was extremely clear, every time it was time for him to make a decision, he seemed to be free from all the shackles, and his mind was just thinking about the issues he needed to consider.
"Why did I surrender to you? We are from Wei and will not return to Chu. ”
Although Ren Pingsheng's tone was very calm, he was also very proud: "If you want to surrender, I will surrender back then." At that time, the emperor of Chu recruited me, do you know what conditions he opened? The commander of the Jiangnan battalion, the chief officer of the Chu State Water Division, and the rank of squire of the military department. Ten thousand taels of gold, thousands of acres of fertile land...... I'm too lazy to say anything else. ”
Ren Pingsheng's clear gaze fell on Qin Fei's face, he seemed to be provoking, and he seemed to be laughing at Qin Fei: I didn't surrender with such high conditions back then, and now I will surrender to you? A district prosecutor's office Wupin town governor?
"I know, General Ren, I know everything." Qin Fei sighed and said: "The Prosecutor's Office also offers a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for your head, if you catch a live one, the bounty will be doubled, and you will be crowned a five-rank official." ”
"My head is worth a lot." Ren Pingsheng laughed: "If you sell it by the catty, there will be more than a hundred taels of gold per catty!" ”
"General Ren, there are a few very real problems right in front of you. Can you let me finish? ”
Qin Fei looked at Ren Pingsheng sincerely.
"Say it."
Qin Fei sorted out his thoughts: "General Ren, you are a natural handsome talent, and you can't find an opponent on the water." But you have an insurmountable problem. It's the years! The Wei soldiers who were left behind back then were all people who cherished their homeland. They are now the youngest and almost forty years old. Soon, they will enter the stage known as the old and weak soldiers. And I also see your second generation, these children may be your heirs over the years. They only knew that they were born to live on this island and fight against the sailors of the Chu State. But in their minds, they may not have any impression of Wei at all. ”
"In time you will grow old. These young men took over the fleet. I dare to say that the former Wei East China Sea Fleet will definitely become a pirate completely, and everything that does not rob the common people and what does not rob the caravan will all go aside. At that time, this fleet was mad dogs, and they did everything for money, for women, for supplies. In the end, it was either exterminated by the sailors of the imperial court, or it was swallowed up by another group of pirates. There may even be internal divisions and cannibalism! ”
"It's just a hidden danger. Right now, the sailors of the Chu State are going to besiege you. Indeed, you can run or fight. Even, I believe that those sailor generals of the Chu State are hardly your opponents. Once again, you can defeat the strong with the weak and achieve the myth of your own invincibility. However, killing 10,000 people and harming 8,000 himself. What about your losses? The crown prince is a good-looking man, in order to accumulate military merits for himself, in order to win prestige for himself. He will continue to deploy troops to besiege at all costs. For more than ten years before, you have crisscrossed the East China Sea, and no one dared to attack it. But this time is different, siege after siege, battle after battle, until you are exhausted. Turn this into another harbor for the sailors. ”
Qin Fei said word by word: "Surrendering to me is not surrendering to the prince, this is the biggest difference." ”
"You?" Ren Pingsheng smiled: "People don't live for the sake of living. You're too young to understand this. Sometimes, people lose their faith and perseverance, and it is better to live than to die. I am such a person, I am persisting for the sake of Da Wei, and I am surviving. Otherwise, I would have gone with my former comrades. You are the town governor of the Prosecutor's Office, he is the prince of Chu, what is the difference between surrendering him and surrendering you? For me, it's all the same. ”
Qin Fei blinked slyly: "What if there is a difference?" ”
