Chapter 157: I'd rather die than surrender

Under Liu Ru's repeated protection, Fang Yuan temporarily let go of the Qian clan in Hongdou Villa, but ordered Jinyiwei to keep a close watch and not let anyone go.

To kill these Qian clan people, it's just a gesture, why bother making trouble with Liu Ru at this juncture?

Fang Yuan left Hongdou Villa and rushed back to Suzhou City.

He was not in a hurry to arrange the travel of the envoy to the peace talks, Zheng Zhilong, who should have lost the battle if he wanted to talk, came to talk first, why was Fang Yuan in a hurry as the victorious side?

Fang Yuan's next goal was to recruit the captured Shi Lang.

He ordered the Jinyi guard to escort Shi Lang, who was fully shackled, to Suzhou City, and did not surrender directly, but took Shi Lang to tour the entire Suzhou City.

A group of people sat on a big boat and shuttled through the large and small waterways of Suzhou City, where there was a flow of people, cattle and horses.

The girls who traveled, one by one, were showing flowers and branches, laughing and laughing;

The literati who stepped on the spring were all dressed in brocade and had a chapter of exports;

Even the coolies were in good spirits, shouting neat trumpets.

The whole city of Suzhou is a prosperous scene of living and working in peace and contentment, wealth and prosperity!

Fang Yuan was also relieved to see it, and Chong Shilang said, "Commander Shi, who is richer in Suzhou Mansion than in Fujian?" ”

Shi Lang has long been shocked by the prosperity of Suzhou Mansion, and the prosperous scene here is like heaven on earth in the eyes of Shi Lang, who was born in the poor countryside of Fujian, and sighed, "The world is different." ”

The big boat turned a waterway, and several girls in the attic near the water recognized it as Fang Yuan, and shouted loudly, "Lord Fang, Lord Fang has arrived!" ”

"Wow! Master Fang has arrived, come and see! ”

The women in the surrounding attic all poked their heads out and threw flowers and purses at Fang Yuan's boat, and before they could get out of this waterway, the boat was already full of these women's private belongings.

Fang Yuan was born handsome, loved the people like a son, and coupled with the prestige of the battlefield, he has long been the standard image of a dream lover in the eyes of women in Suzhou City, which is not much better than the grand occasion when Pan An traveled to throw fruits.

Fang Yuan took out the broken silver prepared in the big boat and threw it into the attic around him, and the women who got the silver were screaming and screaming.

After the big ship sailed out of the waterway, he asked Shi Lang, "Commander Shi, who is more popular with the people than Zheng Zhilong?" ”

Fang Yuan dared to have fun with the people without clearing the scene, but if Zheng Zhilong didn't go out of the scene, he wouldn't dare to go out at all, Shi Lang sighed and said, "There is a world of difference!" ”

Fang Yuan took Shi Lang out of the city from the waterway and went directly to the Taihu Military Base.

Chigutai led a thousand mighty and majestic Xuanjia iron cavalry to rein in the right side of the waterway, and Ma Lin led a thousand soldiers of the battle camp, standing on the left side of the waterway with guns, waiting for Fang Yuan's review.

When Fang Yuan's big ship approached, Chigutai and Malin shouted in unison, "Shoot!" ”

A thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry and a thousand infantry battalion sergeants saluted the sky in unison, and the momentum was amazing.

After passing through the cavalry battalion, we arrived at the scene of the artillery battalion's review, where a platoon of at least one or two hundred guns was lined up on the shore.

As soon as Li Zongze gave the order, the artillery rang out in unison, causing a splash and deafening.

Just after the artillery battalion, a group of drones flew in the air, at least 50 of them, and circled neatly in the big ship for a long time before flying back and disappearing into the distance.

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Commander Shi, the Xuanjia Army is mighty, how is it compared to Zheng Zhilong?" ”

Shi Lang has long been intimidated by the might of the Xuanjia Army, Zheng Zhilong's army is like child's play compared to the Xuanjia Army, and he praised from the bottom of his heart, "It's still a world of difference." ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "Zheng Zhilong's money is not as good as mine, the people's will is not as good as mine, and the military power is not as good as mine, what can you use to start a war with me?" He is destroying himself! ”

Shi Lang was speechless, he accompanied Fang Yuan for a whole day today, he was shocked in his heart, to say that Zheng Zhilong wanted to go north to compete with Fang Yuan, it was just a fool's dream, hitting a stone with an egg.

When the big ship sailed to the sailor camp that was still under construction, Shi Lang saw more than ten small warships of about 200 materials moored on the shore of the camp, and said with a smile, "These warships are only for the Zheng family's sailors." ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "That's because I still lack a sailor commander who is proficient in naval warfare and trains the navy." Commander Shi, you are the most suitable Commander of the Sailor in my heart! ”

Shi Lang didn't understand until this moment that Fang Yuan had been tossing and turning all day long, and he was here to surrender.

He stared at the lake at sunset, and said in a deep voice, "Fang Junmen, the soldier dies for his confidant, the Zheng family has the grace of knowing my Shi family, I must not betray the Zheng family, you kill me!" ”

Shi Lang's expression was resolute, his attitude towards death was very resolute, and Fang Yuan was also very helpless, so he could only ask Jinyi Wei to escort him into the military base and hand him over to Jing Jie for temporary detention.

In the next ten days, Fang Yuan was still worried about how to recruit Shi Lang, but Zheng Zhilong's peace negotiation letter was delivered, inviting Fang Yuan to send someone to Fujian to negotiate. Politics is a continuation of the military, and since no one can eat the other at present, it is necessary for the two sides to sit down and talk about how to demarcate spheres of influence, how to exchange prisoners, and other aftermath matters.

Fang Yuan immediately discussed with Jing Jie and the others about sending a peace envoy to Zheng Zhilong.

He first announced that the candidate for the envoy of the peace talks was Liu Ruyi, and everyone looked at each other when they heard it, which was simply nonsense, because they had never heard of a woman being the envoy of the peace talks.

Jing Jie persuaded, "Boss, it's too child's play to send a woman to negotiate peace." ”

Fang Yuan was displeased and said, "What's the child's play here? My civilian system has not yet been established, and you are all fierce generals on the battlefield, and you can't do this job of showing off your eloquence. ”

Qin Zhan was the only one who looked forward to Fang Yuan, and immediately stood up for Fang Yuan, "I think it's good for Liu Cainu to go, not only does she know Zheng Zhilong, but she also gets twice the result with half the effort when negotiating." ”

Jing Jie retorted, "How loyal is Liu Ruye? Do we fully acknowledge the results she has come back with? The boss will not explain to her the bottom line of our negotiations? Negotiation is a process of mutual price reduction, if she leaks our bottom line early, what else to talk about, it is better to have a showdown with Zheng Zhilong directly! ”

In the face of his questioning, Fang Yuan was silent, before Ling Liu Ru was the messenger of the peace talks, that is, he made a decision on a whim in order to please the beauties, but now it seems that there are indeed many joints that have not scruples. If you go back on your word at this time and reassign someone else, how should you explain to Liu Ru? Let Liu Ru go to Fujian alone, he is also 10,000 worried.

Qin Zhan said knowingly, "But the boss has promised Liu Cainu, so you can't go back on your word!" ”

Su Hongyu said, "That's it! I went to negotiate with Liu Cainu, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Jing Jie was stunned for a moment, and wanted to speak several times, but he stopped talking.

Fang Yuan saw at a glance that he didn't want Su Hongyu to go to Zheng Zhilong's tiger and wolf den to adventure, so he said, "Sister Su, you better stay!" I'll make another appointment. ”

Su Hongyu smiled heartily and said, "Boss, you're too worried, what the hell is Zheng Zhilong?" As long as he has a little sense, he won't dare to be disrespectful to our military envoys, otherwise the boss, Jing Jie will immediately set foot on his lair, right! ”

What she said was actually for Jing Jie, what else could Jing Jie say, so he could only agree to this plan, "This, then you still have to be careful in everything." ”

As soon as Jing Jie relented, even if the candidate for the envoy who went to negotiate was confirmed, Fang Yuan laughed and said, "With Sister Su with me, I will be completely relieved." ”

Su Hongyu asked again, "Boss, what is the outcome of this negotiation?" ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "What is fought on the battlefield is what can be negotiated at the negotiation table, since our army has cleaned up all the Zheng family's military guards in Zhejiang, my bottom line is that Zheng Zhilong's forces cannot set foot in Zhejiang for half a step, as long as he dares to cross the line, we will continue to fight." ”

Su Hongyu gave her hand to take the order, "Yes!" ”

Fang Yuan lowered his voice again and said, "Sister Su, I still have a secret mission for you, that is, during the negotiation, I instigated Zheng Zhilong to kill Shi Lang's entire family!" ”

As soon as he said this, Jing Jie and the others were stunned again, and Su Hongyu was stunned and asked, "Boss, how can you instigate empty words?" ”

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I will go to Shi Lang to write a letter to clarify Shi Lang's desire for peace." With this letter from Shi Lang asking for peace, you have a little more rumor that Shi Lang has already colluded with our army, accepted our army's silver, and sold the second guard of Guanhai and Haimen, will Zheng Zhilong be angry and slaughter Shi Lang's family? ”

Su Hongyu suddenly realized that Fang Yuan wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, so Zheng Zhilong killed Shi Lang's entire family, and then Shi Lang had no way out, so he could only surrender to Fang Yuan obediently.

She smacked her tongue at the unscrupulous actions of the other party to achieve her goals, and asked tentatively, "Boss, do you want to tell Liu Rushi this news?" ”

Fang Yuan hesitated for a while, then sighed and said, "Let's hide it from her before the matter is completed!" ”

Fang Yuan sent Jing Jie to find Shi Lang, fooling him that as long as the peace talks between the two sides were successful, he would let Shi Lang and the Shi clan go.

Shi Lang was really fooled, and in his letter to Zheng Zhilong, he greatly praised the wealth of Suzhou Mansion and the strength of the Xuanjia Army, and persuaded Zheng Zhilong to negotiate peace as soon as possible, and not to fight again.

Fang Yuan got this letter from him, and he sneered in his heart, as soon as this letter arrived in Zheng Zhilong's hands, coupled with Su Hongyu's provocation, Zheng Zhilong didn't suspect that Shi Lang had been bought by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan released ten Shi clansmen and ordered them to bring Shi Lang's letter back to Fujian and hand it over to Zheng Zhilong.

On the other hand, he arranged for Su Hongyu and Liu Rushi to go to Fujian to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong as a peace negotiation delegation, and arranged for fifty Xuanjia iron cavalry guards to accompany him.

Fang Yuan looked at Su Hongyu and Liu Ru is distant carriage, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, it didn't matter whether this negotiation was successful or not, all he was waiting for was good news, good news that Zheng Zhilong had killed Shi Lang's family!
