Chen Ming's asking price was 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 horses of cloth, 10,000 stone of grain, 5,000 catties of gunpowder, 5,000 catties of medicinal herbs, and 500 stones of salt and sugar! This is a figure that far exceeds Wang Jun's promise.

"Bang!"

Wang Jun slapped his palm on the table, making a loud noise, and the paper and ink inkstones rose into the air. Wang Jun used his angry expressions and movements to express his indignation and anger to the Ruzhou gentry sitting in the column.

And then the eggs.

Wang Jun slapped the table loudly above, and Li Jiannan's expression remained unchanged, if Wang Jun really had a temper, he would not ask the Chen family thieves for peace. Now it's all performances, performances.

Wang Jun slapped the table and yelled while looking at the six roads. Seeing that the group of Ruzhou gentry present were all 'discolored' for the amount that Chen Ming demanded, he was satisfied.

Wang Jun threw a ecstatic look at Li Jiannan, who nodded slightly to Lord Wang Zhizhou with the most bitterness. He said: "Chen Ming, this thief, is greedy and excessive, and threatens to give the state city only one day, if there is no money and food delivered tomorrow morning, he will open artillery to attack the city." ”

With Li Jiannan's head, the voice in the signing room rose.

A fat man in his thirties was the first to stand up, and his body was round wrapped in fine silk: "100,000 taels of silver? The surname Chen is not afraid of being choked to death. With these 100,000 taels of silver, the troops in the city can be paid to defend Ruzhou City. It's no better than giving it to a gang of bandits! "The ransom of the city is a matter of endless trouble. The best choice for Ruzhou City is to stick to the city.

If there is the first one to speak, there is the second and the third......

Although Li Jiannan knew that this was a very normal and normal scene, he still couldn't help pinching his eyebrows: "Don't talk about deception here." If the team in the city can be relied on, why should Lord Zhizhou and Lord Zhou Tong take such a big risk to secretly collude with the rebels? If you really have the strength to defend the city of Ruzhou, let alone 100,000 taels of silver, even if you only have 5,000 taels of silver, you can also use it to reward warriors and defend Ruzhou. Li Jiannan sounded the group of shrinking heads and green battalion soldiers and servants at the head of the city, and he felt that he had no confidence in his heart. How could such a team be able to defeat the Chen family thieves? I'm afraid that if Chen Ming put two cannons outside, the entire city will run away.

This is a dead hole, the dead hole of Ruzhou City. Wang Jun, Hu Rulin, and no one in the entire Ruzhou has confidence in the current city defense team.

"Since the beginning of the incident, Chen Ming's thieves have been invincible and invincible. It's really a giant thief who can't be born. As Li Jiannan said, the strong men who defend the city can't be counted on. If Chen Ming's request is not satisfied, Chen Jiajun enters the city, and to put it mildly, whether the official burns the grain or not, or burns it with the city, or is taken down by the imperial court for punishment, it is a dead end. Wang Jun's face was full of sighs, and Hu Rulin and Ruzhou Teachings beside him were all concerned.

"The thieves of the Chen family can't enter the city, no matter how they keep Ruzhou City, this official will still be punished by the imperial court. This official, anyway, he can't do it. That's how Wang ended up now. So what happened to you? Don't tell this official that you haven't heard of the fate of the gentry in Lushan, Baofeng, and Jiaxian.

How many times has the Xingmin Group been in Ruzhou, which one has missed you? If the Chen Jiajun enters the city, you will wait to die with this official. I'll wait for you a little longer on Huangquan Road. ”

Wang Jun sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. He made it very clear, and now it depends on the choice of the group of people below.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and we have never dealt with Chen Ming, so I don't know what his reputation is. Li Xiucai can go to the thief camp again, only to say that he can't take out so much in a hurry, so he will give half of it first......" An old man with gray braids said in a long voice.

Hu Rulin also said the first sentence at this time: "100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 horses of cloth, 10,000 stones of grain and rice, 5,000 catties of gunpowder, 5,000 catties of medicinal materials, and 500 stones of salt and sugar, it is not easy to raise them in a short time." said to Chen Ming that he would never be able to take it out in the short term! Don't say that's it, even if you can't take out half of it. ”

"Let's give him a third first, let him back for a while, and let us raise the rest slowly." Guide Town and Yunyang Town are actively deploying troops, it is estimated that it will not take another month, the army will be killed in two ways to Ruzhou, and the siege of Ruzhou City will naturally be lifted at that time.

Li Jiannan didn't have any uneasy expression, he had already gone through Chen Jiajun once, and he was not afraid to go the second time.

Chen Ming listened to Li Jiannan's words and smiled silently, one-third, and the rest was raised slowly, and the ghosts knew that it was a delaying plan. Chen Ming insisted on half of it, and the gunpowder and cloth were in full amount. Then with a wave of his hand, he urged Li Jiannan to go back.

Li Jiannan has nothing to think about and meditate on, this time he is a messenger who doesn't need to use his brain.

Easily returned to Ruzhou City and brought Chen Ming's words. The group fell silent, eyes meeting each other. Chen Ming just moved the time from the morning to the afternoon, but it really didn't take long for these gentry and uncles to discuss it again and again.

The biggest difficulty in Ruzhou City now is that they are too vulnerable in front of Chen Jiajun. Wang Jun, Hu Rulin and others didn't dare to risk their lives to test whether Chen Jiajun's cannon was really that powerful, so they were at an absolute disadvantage.

"Naruto. Are we really not going to fight Ruzhou? Zheng Hongyu asked Chen Ming after Li Jiannan left. This is Chen Hui's old team, a person who was beaten down by Chang Rui at the beginning, and now he is the quartermaster in Chen Ming's team. In addition to him, there is also Wei Xiuzhi, who is also in Chen Ming's team at the moment, and is another person in charge of material statistics.

"It's not a big benefit to fight Ruzhou City, we still have too few people, and if we take Ruzhou City, it is impossible to defend Yiyang County. With our current strength, we are fortunate to be able to take care of Lushan, Baofeng and Jiaxian.

Whether it can expand to the south depends on the development of the Southern Route Army.

Didn't Nanyang Mansion start to form a group practice? If the South Road troops led by Uncle Er Bao could really completely block Fangcheng, the Chen family would have Yexian and Wuyang in their pockets. In this way, an inverted triangle can be formed, the apex is Lushan, one corner is in Jiaxian, and the other corner is in Wuyang.

Lushan and Baofeng can be used as the hinterland, and Jiaxian, Yexian and Wuyang are the frontiers. ”

The middle and high-level members of Chen Jiajun's team have long remembered the map location of the Ruzhou circle, and as soon as Chen Ming said this, Zheng Hongyu immediately asked Xiangxian to do this? That place is not blocked, and the Qing soldiers do not bring a swarm of bees from Pingxi Lake [Pingdingshan City Urban Location] to Baofeng County.

"No way. Who made us have fewer soldiers? ”

At present, the Qing soldiers are the remnants of Guide Town in the east and Yunyang Town + Nanyang Town on the South Road, Fangcheng is going to be blocked, and the Qing soldiers on both roads will meet in Yuncheng, and it will become a road, and the Chen Jiajun will kill head-on!

At that time, except for the two counties of Lushan and Baofeng, other locations can completely control only the county seat.
