Chapter 432: Everything is ready

Besides, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to Qi Jiguang's opinion, but that he is different from Qi Jiguang.

He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is born to be a rival with the Six Ministries, especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department regard him as a thorn in the side, this kind of relationship can't be eased even if he wants to, so he simply doesn't think about how to have a good relationship.

He has less dealings with the Ministry of War, mainly because he doesn't need the money of the Ministry of War, and he only has more of a record in the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War can't control the Jinyi Guard.

So in his opinion, as long as the emperor's support for him has not changed, he will have no problems, and if the emperor changes there, it will be useless for him to have a harmonious relationship with the six departments.

"You're done, aren't you? It's time to go out and negotiate. Are you deliberately delaying the negotiations? Qi Jiguang asked.

Besides, he nodded and smiled: "I thought I was doing it very secretively, but I didn't expect it to be seen by you." ”

He really deliberately delayed the time for the negotiations at the customs, even if he stopped the expensive military funds here, he wanted to delay it a little longer.

His original intention was that it would be better to drag on through the autumn, so that the Tatars would not be able to attack at least this year, and the little prince was thirty miles outside the pass, and it was impossible for the Tatars to send troops and attack in a big way in this situation.

Wang Chonggu didn't notice that he was deliberately delaying, and ordinary people didn't notice it, because there were too many strange things happening, and there were enough reasons to stay here to do these things.

Qi Jiguang saw the intention of the situation early on, and only said it now. He was worried that the imperial court would be in a hurry, after all, many people in the imperial court were also looking forward to the results of this negotiation.

However, these anxious people probably do not know that the negotiations have not yet started, and the results are basically certain.

Besides, he originally wanted to carry out his intentions throughout, but now that there is a unique case, he doesn't dare to continue to drown Datong, lest he stay any longer, I don't know what more terrifying things will happen, so let's get out of the customs quickly, even if there are any more terrifying strange things, it will be a scourge to the Tatars.

"Are you going to procrastinate? The horror of the court won't let you do this. Qi Jiguang asked again.

"No, clean up in the past two days, and wait for the little prince to bring a message from Hannaji, if he promises to let me take 10,000 people out of the customs, I will leave immediately." Besides.

"What about here?" Qi Jiguang asked.

"What I originally wanted was to rectify the border army, cut off the border army and run away without a fight, disturb the people and harm the people, and often make noise and mutiny. Li Zhipeng's matter was simply handed over to the imperial court for disposal, and of course it was up to the emperor whether the border army had a major change of defense. I don't have anything else to do. Besides, he counted his fingers one by one.

"Oh, I thought you were going to use Shang Fang's sword to kill Li Zhipeng." Qi Jiguang said.

"I originally had this idea, but after thinking about it, this guy was actually greedy for a small price, and took 50,000 taels of silver that he shouldn't have taken, and as a result, he changed the nature of his escape to a traitor. So sometimes I think this guy is quite pitiful, can he not kill or not, if he wants to kill, the court will kill him, not me. Besides, he laughed.

"Well, that's right, Shang Fang's sword is not used if it can be used. This time, if you kill four or five hundred border troops, it can be regarded as Liwei, and it doesn't matter if you kill Li Zhipeng or not. ”

Moreover, after chatting with Qi Jiguang for a while, he ordered to start all preparations, and as soon as the little prince brought Hannaji's reply to him, he would leave the customs immediately.

Li Zhipeng could only be handed over to Qi Jiguang to guard, and when Qi Jiguang protected the little prince and returned to Beijing, he happened to take it all the way.

"You bastard boy, you've finally woken up and started getting down to business."

Zhang Whale was so happy when he heard that he had ordered to prepare to leave the customs, he thought that he would really be able to retire here. It's just that now that he is the ambassador with plenipotentiary Qincha, he doesn't reprimand like he did in the capital, so he can only be secretly anxious.

"Boss, aren't you having fun practicing my maiko these days? Why are you in a hurry? And he laughed.

"Didn't I have nothing to do, and besides, it was for you not to show your stuff to the king of Alta. I said that you kid is not an official with a long temper, I have been a coolie for you for so long, you don't mean to thank you at all, and you still laugh at me? Zhang Whale kicked his eyes and said angrily.

"Boss, isn't it just a thank you, needless to say, I told you a long time ago, I have all the things you like after you leave the customs, and I will give you a few pieces of jewelry or something." Moreover, the bribery tactic was immediately used.

He didn't dare to offend Zhang Whale casually, this person was a bridge between him and the emperor, in case this guy said a few bad things about himself in front of the emperor, he would neither be able to eat nor leave.

Hearing that she was going to get out of the customs, Zuo Ling was also so excited that she was angry, and she was also angry

I don't know how much stubble has been changed in all kinds of vegetables she has bought these days, although she has also made and eaten them every day for these Jinyi guards, and it has not been wasted, but she doesn't know when it will be the end of the day, and she doesn't know if she can get out of the customs.

Now there are 5,000 taels of carts full of all kinds of materials, many of which were purchased along the way, and it would be a joke if they were all brought back to Beijing for sale, not to mention how much money they lost.

She has been impatient for a long time, but unfortunately she can't catch the shadow of the situation these days, and she knows that she is busy with national affairs, so she doesn't dare to say anything.

The next day, the little prince replied to Hannaji, allowing him to bring 10,000 troops out of the customs to negotiate, and he still only brought 300 guards, not more than a single soldier.

Besides, he was slightly disappointed, he really hoped that the little prince would bring more men and horses into the pass, preferably 10,000 elite cavalry, so that the king of Alta would have less than 10,000 cavalry, plus the 20,000 cavalry he could contain, and the king of Alta would only have 70,000 elite cavalry in the sky, and he would be more at ease here at the border.

However, in the end, they stayed for one more day, and many materials, mainly fresh vegetables, needed to be purchased on the road again, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi heard that they had decided to go out of the customs, and they were really a little reluctant, and they also had to set up a banquet to send them off.

Moreover, after deciding to leave the customs, they will no longer bother with the border affairs, and of course the whereabouts of the two missing officials cannot be traced, and can only become a headless case.

Cao Delin and the others are also overjoyed, they are worried about living here, and they feel that it may be safer and more comfortable after leaving the customs.

The next night, at a farewell dinner given by the governor, the decree arrived.

Moreover, he led Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi and others to put down the incense case and received the holy decree.

The decree is very simple, to the effect that it should be released immediately on the day of receiving the decree, and it should not be delayed; The two missing officials did not need to be added, and all the terms of the negotiation process were led by the other officials, and the other officials were only responsible for assisting.

After the holy decree was read, Cao Delin and other officials looked at each other, especially those officials who had confidential documents on their bodies and claimed to be leading some terms in the negotiations.

They had thought that the confidential documents they were carrying had also been approved by the emperor, but now it seems that this is not the case, and the emperor's intention has not changed, that is, he is the only ambassador with full negotiability in this negotiation, responsible for the negotiation of all the terms of the negotiation process, and the others are only acting as staff officers.

"Congratulations, my lord." Wang Chonggu complimented.

"What's there to congratulate, don't you see, the Holy One is dissatisfied with me. It seems that the Holy One thinks I am meddling. And said with a wry smile.

These people are secretly laughing, aren't you just nosy, what does the border matter have to do with you, you just have to take care of everything, aren't you looking for fun?

Fang Fengshi said with a smile: "I can't say that, the Holy Lord doesn't mean to blame, Lord Qincha is also for the emperor to share his worries and solve problems, and the Holy Lord must be in a hurry to negotiate with the Tatars to urge like this." ”

Zhang Whale whispered in his ear: "This is still light, if you mess up the negotiation, you will die outside the plug and don't come back." ”

Besides, he nodded and said: "Well, if you really mess up, I will continue to fight guerrilla warfare with the Tatars." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone burst out laughing.

Besides, it's strange in my heart, the day when this holy decree came is too coincidental, I obviously decided to go out tomorrow, and the holy decree happened to come at this time, as if I was endorsing myself.

But counting the days, it is true that the holy decree should have arrived, but Zhang Juzheng did not reply to the letter, I don't know if his meaning has been included in the holy decree.

Generally speaking, the holy decree is the meaning of the emperor and Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and the eunuch Bingbi of the eunuch of the ceremony. Moreover, when I was in Beijing, I sometimes received the emperor's codex, also known as the edict, which was the real emperor's own meaning.

After the dinner, it was announced that the whole army was ready to march out, and would not stay for a moment, and would camp and rest outside the pass.

Wang Chonggu and others persuaded him to leave tomorrow morning, and sooner or later would not be worse than one night.

In any case, this can be regarded as an order according to the holy decree, and after receiving the holy decree, they will immediately go out of the customs, but there are too many people and vehicles, and of course they can't all get out of the customs in one night.

Of course, Cao Delin and these officials don't have to go out of the customs overnight, and they are ready to rest for a night. They also all know that when they get to the outside of the gate, there is no such good place to rest as a post house. Although I lived a scared life here, I was still a little reluctant to leave.

After assigning the task, he came to Li Xiangjun's room, he once had a one-night date with Li Xiangjun, but unfortunately he was delayed by too many things, and he couldn't go to the appointment until this time, but he was locked out of the door by Li Xiangjun and couldn't go in.

He didn't have the face to go to Zuo Ling, so he stayed alone for one night, and sighed to himself, can I live a life with a group of wives and concubines?
