Chapter 57: Negotiations Continue

Liang Jiajun rested for three days in a row.

During these three days, the wounded brothers were sent away and ammunition supplies were replenished.

In the past three days, this team has been sublimated and transformed!

Winning the battle gave the troops confidence. From the beginning of the confusion to the current full of confidence, through the experience of blood and fire, the recruits gradually grow.

The arrangement of the troops and the command of the battlefield of the commander of the Liang family are the key to this victory, and the officers and soldiers of the Liang family army know and admit this fact, and this army truly recognizes the leader of the head of the Liang family! Liang Jiajun officially recognized the lord!

Only the leader who can lead the army to victory can truly gain the trust of his subordinates and gain the hearts of the army!

Liang Sihan's compassionate care for the wounded and wounded brothers made the whole army have no worries, won the respect of his subordinates, and won their loyalty!

Liang Jiajun's scientific and comprehensive training;

The Liang family's military is capable and mediocre, with a fair and reasonable internal environment;

Leung Ka Jun's spirit of teamwork;

Liang Jiajun does not abandon the concept of leading troops without giving up;

After the tempering of blood and fire, after the test of life and death, they have all condensed into the combat effectiveness of this army!

Liang Sihan's wisdom and magnanimity make this army cohesive and morale high!

Now, this unit appeared in front of Gwangji City.

The aura of slaughter exuded by this army made Ruan Boyi, who was standing on the city wall of Quang Tri, frown, as a veteran of the battlefield, he was very sensitive to the murderous aura of the army.

It is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation to salute first and then soldier, and the Liang Jiajun sent a messenger with only two words for the Vietnamese army: surrender!

Looking at the cannon with the barrel raised high on the opposite side, it seems that the arrogance of a man's characteristic is in saber rattling! Ruan Boyi's frowning brows furrowed even deeper. Originally, the knife-like wrinkles on his face made the leading general add a bit of majesty and evil, but at this moment, his wrinkled wrinkles, messy gray beard, and pale and weak demeanor highlighted his old state.

Only the old and strong stubbornness in his heart supports his dignity as a general.

Ruan Boyi turned around and looked at the generals around him, but these former awesome generals all lowered their heads at this time, no one met his gaze, and each other's expressions were tacit.

The original Vietnamese coalition army of more than 10,000 is now only a little more than 6,000 left, of course, many of the more than 4,000 people lost are deserted and do not know where to go, but the remaining 6,000 troops are already in chaos and are in a war!

"Alas······," Speaker Nguyen Bo let out a long sigh, and the last bit of spirit dissipated with this sigh.

The generals who followed him understood this, fled from the city wall as if they were amnesty, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to open the city gate and prepare to surrender.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: The first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city; The law of siege is a last resort; Attacking the heart is the top, this is a soldier who surrenders without a fight!

The so-called good fighters have no great achievements.

The 2nd Battalion, which already had the experience of occupying the city, was the first to enter the city of Guangzhi and occupied the barracks first. The Liang Jiajun did not embarrass the Vietnamese army who surrendered, but only separated the Vietnamese officers and soldiers to prevent unconvinced officers from inciting the soldiers to make trouble.

Liang Sihan stepped into Guangzhi City, but Ruan Boyi did not come out to greet him. He was greeted by a group of Vietnamese generals and local officials who nodded with low eyebrows, looking at these Vietnamese officials, Young Master Liang thought that he had occupied Vietnam, and these people were probably "traitors", and he was suddenly in a good mood, and the smile on his face became stronger.

And what these Vietnamese officials didn't expect was that the general who led such a vicious army turned out to be a smiling teenager? They couldn't figure it out for a while, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Grand Master Liang did not embarrass Ruan Boyi, speaking of which, this general of the Vietnamese army is not incompetent, since he is willing to lead the army to surrender, reducing the casualties on both sides, it can be regarded as reducing the killing, which is a great good! He only asked Nguyen Pak Nguyen to send three Vietnamese officers and soldiers to the royal city of Hue to report the news, and asked the Vietnamese court to send capable ministers to come over and negotiate seriously.

Seeing that Liang Jiajun didn't want to kill, Ruan Boyi naturally welcomed it extremely much, and immediately sent someone to his order.

The Nguyen dynasty in the royal city of Hue discussed the matter in the court, this time overwhelmingly agreeing to negotiate with the army, whose origin is still unknown. Of course, Emperor Side, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also agreed, and since the people were only asking for negotiations instead of surrender, they were naturally welcome. He knew how the battle was fought, and now that even Quang Tri's army had surrendered, it was impossible for Vietnam to win. The other party is already very face-giving, so you must also give the other party a face.

Young Master Liang still did not participate in the negotiations, and these matters were still in charge of Liang Kun, the third of the old Jianghu Iron Bridge. Young Master Liang only explained to the negotiation team, and Liang Jiajun took the Sino-British cooperative South China Sea Company as the main body of negotiations, and set the tone of the negotiation:

First, the Vietnamese government must agree to the exclusive right to mine coal in Quang Ninh Province by the Nanhai Company, and the Nanhai Company is willing to pay the local government of Quang Ninh Province an annual coal mining fee of 3,000 taels of silver.

2. The Vietnamese government must agree to the use of Haiphong and Quang An ports in northern Vietnam by the South China Sea Company free of charge.

3. The Vietnamese government must agree to the opening of branches of the company in Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Vinh and Da Nang to carry out trading activities.

Fourth, the Vietnamese government must compensate the South China Sea Company for its military expenses and losses in this war, totaling 3 million taels of silver.

The 5th South China Sea Company has no territorial claims against Vietnam.

The first four of these five demands are related to the rights and interests of the South China Sea Company, while the fifth article implicitly threatens that if the first four demands are not agreed, then the South China Sea Company may have ideas about Vietnamese territory.

Young Master Liang, who had clearly explained the negotiation requirements, began to loot Vietnam, fighting a war is the most expensive thing, and now that he has won the battle, he naturally wants to take a hand on the loser.

First of all, the treasury and government offices of Quang Tri City have to be raided, and the Vietnamese coalition army has more than 10,000 people, so Nguyen Bo Yi will naturally not come empty-handed.

Soon, Liang Jiajun received more than 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury and the government office, this number is a bit small, and it is not as big as the harvest in Hongji City, but Hongji City just collected the annual tax and did not have time to pay it, which happened to be cheaper than Liang Jiajun.

However, Ruan Boyi was very fat, with more than 300,000 taels of silver, as well as a large amount of grain and grass materials. The silver was used to pay the Vietnamese coalition army, and in order for the soldiers to work hard, the salary had to be prepared, and sometimes in order to stimulate the subordinates, a large amount of silver had to be rewarded. Now that the Vietnamese army has surrendered, the prisoners will definitely not need to be paid for the army.

Young Master Liang was busy preparing the ship and transporting the spoils back to the Hainan base with the young and strong captives.

Young Master Liang is still thinking about whether to send troops to Donghai in the north, Rongshi and Nanding to fight the autumn wind, anyway, there are not many troops in these cities now, and it shouldn't take much effort to fight them. Oh, by the way, Young Master Liang remembered those low-eyed generals of the Vietnamese army when he first entered the city, aren't they the generals of these cities? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just let them go and order the door to open the door and surrender?

Thinking that there would soon be a lot of silver and flowers, Young Master Liang suddenly laughed even more······
