Chapter 952 Slowly? Slow down
"What? Zheng Zhilong wants to negotiate with us? After receiving Wang Qing's report, Chen Mo was very surprised.
Wang Qing nodded: "Zheng Zhilong's envoy has entered the camp. “
Chen Mo thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "In the end, I was recognized." Relying on his subordinates disguised as Zheng Cai, he advanced rapidly all the way, killed directly from Fuzhou Mansion to Quanzhou, and trapped Zheng Hongkui. But there will always be a day when it will be discovered, and it is impossible to keep it hidden.
"Okay, let's talk about it. Bring in that messenger. Bring in Enench. ”
Soon, Enench was brought into the tent and sat in the middle seat. Since he is under the banner of the Western Army, Ai Nengqi, the chief general of the Western Army, has to be pulled out for a walk from time to time.
Shi Fu was brought in and ordered to kowtow to the great boss Ainengqi.
Ai Nengqi personally surrendered to the superintendent Wang Yin, and the generals of the Ming army naturally saw him, as Zheng Zhilong's descendant, Shi Fu has always followed Zheng Zhilong's side, and has seen Ai Nengqi more than once.
"Get up, tell me what Zheng Zhilong sent you here for." Ainengqi asked in a casual voice. Since he was controlled by Chen Mo, in order to survive, he had to obey Chen Mo's orders and act according to the requirements.
Shi Fu stood up and said respectfully: "My general sent the villain here to ask if the two generals, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai, are still alive?" ”
"How is it to be alive? What if you die? ”
Shi Fu said: "If you are alive, my generals are willing to negotiate with your army to redeem the two generals!" ”
"Negotiations? Redeem? Hahaha, okay, you go back and tell Zheng Zhilong, if he is willing to immediately lead the army to lay down his arms and surrender, I will return Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai to him alive. Enchi laughed.
Shi Fu was overjoyed in his heart: "So, the two generals of my family are still alive?" ”
Eneng pursed his lips and ignored him.
Shi Fu lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Can you let me see the two generals first?" ”
Ai Nengqi nodded, and several warriors escorted Zheng Hongkui, who was tightly tied, into the tent.
"Second master, fifth son!" Seeing Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai, Shi Fu hurriedly said hello. Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai were both gagged, but they couldn't talk to him at all.
Ai Nengqi waved his hand, and Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai were pushed out again. After making sure that the two were still alive, Shi Fu's heart relaxed.
"The chief soldier of my family said that he is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to redeem the two generals." Shi Fu threw his conditions to Enench.
"One hundred thousand taels!" Ainengqi's body straightened up suddenly, even as a prisoner, he was moved when he heard 100,000 taels of silver.
"Ahem" A coughing sound came from the corner, and Ai Nengqi quickly glanced at Chen Mo who was hiding in the corner, and sat back down.
"Just 100,000 taels of silver want to send Lao Tzu away, Zheng Zhilong thinks it is very beautiful! I heard that your Zheng family is entrenched in Fujian, relying on sea trade to earn more silver than the sea, as long as I lay down Quanzhou, your family's mountains of silver are all Lao Tzu! Go back and tell Zheng Zhilong, if you are willing to surrender immediately, I can still spare his life, if not, Lao Tzu will lead the army to break Quanzhou and kill him without leaving a chicken dog! When the words came out of Ainengqi's mouth, even he felt extremely domineering.
Shi Fu sneered when he heard this: "Are you mistaken, I came to negotiate with the order of my family's general army to redeem the two generals, but not to surrender." Now your army is only 30,000 people, but our army has more than 70,000 troops. ”
"Smack!" As soon as Ai Nengqi slapped the table, he was about to continue to reprimand, and at this moment, Wang Qing stood up from his seat with a smile.
"Hehe, this envoy, since Zheng Zhilong is confident that he will defeat us, why did he send you to negotiate?" Wang Qing asked with a grin.
"Naturally, it's to redeem the two generals." Shi Fu pointed to the direction where Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai were escorted.
"It's not that this is non-negotiable, anyway, it's no good to kill these two people, and it's a waste of food to stay, what do you say?" Wang Qing asked Aine Nengqi with a smile.
Eneng pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"But you don't need any silver or anything, just exchange it for something else."
"What do you want?" Shi Fu asked in a deep voice.
Wang Qing smiled at Ai Nengqi and said: "Big boss, what we need most now is food, you see?" ”
Ai Nengqi nodded: "You go back and tell Zheng Zhilong to take 100,000 silver plus 10,000 loads of grain in exchange for Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai!" ”
Shi Fu's heart is a draw, the Zheng family is not short of silver, but there is some trouble with food. 10,000 loads of grain is not a small amount, but thinking about Zheng Zhilong's instructions when he came, Shi Fu gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Yes, I can promise to come down on behalf of my family's chief soldier. But there is another condition, after you get the silver and food, you must leave Nan'an immediately! ”
Spending some small money and some grain in exchange for the rebels to leave was a very cost-effective business for the Zheng family.
Wang Qing smiled: "You go down first, let's discuss it and give you a reply in a while." “
Shi Fu was taken down, Chen Mo came out of the corner, and Ai Nengqi hurriedly stood up from the main seat and stood on one side.
"Fuzun, we might as well agree to his conditions. After all, we didn't carry much food all the way from Fuzhou, and after marching all the way for more than ten days, the army was already exhausted, so we could slow down and fight again. Wang Qing suggested.
"Yes, Zheng Zhilong has as many as 50,000 troops, and we only have 30,000 troops, it is not easy to defeat him in a short time, it is better to slow down, according to our plan, we can recruit a large number of poor people to join, it will not take much time to gather more troops, and it will not be too late to fight Zheng Zhilong again."
Ainengqi was completely unconscious of the captive, and also said on the side. For the current Ainengqi, there is no turning back, so he can only follow Chen Mo with all his heart, so he will take the initiative to cooperate, hoping to set up some hard work, so that he will have a good end in the future.
Chen Mo suddenly laughed: "Slow down, hehe, that's not good!" Now all we need to fight for is time. ”
In the name of Ainengqi, the army rebelled again, and the troops transferred back to the provinces did not have time to come back in a short time, and now they want to use this time to sweep Fujian, form a climate in a short time, and then come to persecute the imperial court. So, there is no delay at all!
"Zheng Zhilong's army of 50,000 is a fart, and it is not in the eyes of Lao Tzu! The reason why I agreed to see this blessing was to paralyze Zheng Zhilong. In this way, I will bring Shi Fu in a while, Ai Nengqi, you agree to his conditions, and agree that Zheng Zhilong will exchange grain and silver in three days. And early tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack on Zheng Zhilong, defeat Zheng Zhilong in a battle, wave our troops south to take Anping Town, and capture the Zheng family's lair! ”
