Chapter 700: Doubts
ο»Ώ
"Yes, Governor Ma. (Marshmallow provides Txt free download)" Fu Shan nodded and said, "I'm not in a hurry to mention the matter of kissing in front of Liu Chao."
γ β
Ma Shiying: "What do you say?" β
Fu Shan said: "Negotiating this kind of thing is like doing business, the emphasis is on asking for a sky-high price, and sitting on the ground to pay back." The price had to be increased step by step, and after the late student entered the city, he only said that he had won the Governor of Ma, and asked him to be the middleman. At the beginning, you might as well take a tougher attitude and order him to surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise the army will immediately attack the city, without stopping for a moment, until the city is taken. β
"Liu Chao will definitely not agree, then, Governor Ma, you will make the next condition, such as saving the lives of him and his subordinates. I'm not afraid that Liu Thief won't mention the conditions, as long as you mention it, you have to talk about it. I'm afraid that he will resist to the end...... You don't have to set all the conditions at the beginning, so that both sides have room to maneuver. β
Everyone nodded, Ma Shiying thought about it, and said with a smile: "The green lord is right, so I will entrust you with carte blanche to do it." β
In the next few days, Fu Shan took advantage of the opportunity he was able to enter and exit Yongcheng to act as a middleman to recruit Liu Chao.
Sun Yuan didn't know the specific process of this, he was a little worried that this Fu Qingzhu was arrogant and couldn't speak, for fear of making Liu Chao unhappy, so he accompanied himself.
However, to Sun Yuan's surprise, things seemed to be going well.
According to the information fed back, Liu Chao seemed to have been tempted, and put forward his first condition, asking Ma Shiying to send some medicine to treat the plague.
To be honest, the staff under Governor Ma are all strongly opposed to this condition, saying that the army in the city has sufficient food, and if it were not for the great plague and the soldiers and civilians would die quickly, this Liu Chao probably would not have agreed to surrender. However, Liu Thief is cunning, and he must be prepared for the epidemic in the city Once it is controlled, this guy has slowed down and regretted it. This must not be agreed, and in our opinion, it is better for the people of the city to die.
Ma Shiying, who has always been tough, said rarely: "Give him medicine, after Yongcheng is taken, it will also be the city of our Ming Dynasty, and it will be inhabited in the future." Liu Chao probably also wants to test our sincerity, so let him see our sincerity. β
Soon, Fu Shan took two large carts of medicine and took Garcia and several other medical officers from the Ningxiang Army into the city
γ
Father Garcia was still very excited to be able to enter the Eternal City. First, we can see what the real great plague looks like, and second, according to him, the time when people are dying is the closest time to God, and this time in the city may be able to develop many believers.
To be honest, the effect of TCM in the treatment of the plague is somewhat slow, and in addition to the necessary isolation and hygiene measures, only some medicines can be prescribed. No matter how clever Fu Shan's methods are, if the patient wants to recover, why does he have to take ten days and a half of medicine. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about Liu Chaobu's regret and recruitment once he recovers.
Liu Chao obviously had no intention of fighting again, and put forward a second condition: surrender was possible, but the Ming army must immediately retreat back to Fengyang. Moreover, he Liu Chao had to restore his original official position, assumed the post of chief military officer in Henan, and set up a separate town in Yongcheng.
Just kidding, the Ming army immediately withdrew to Fengyang, wasn't this battle fought in vain?
Ma Shiying naturally shook his head resolutely, and only said that he could only guarantee the safety of the lives and property of Liu's officers and soldiers. But Liu Bu must immediately drive out of the city and accept the reorganization.
Liu Chao readily refused this condition.
As a result, the two sides began to negotiate repeatedly.
Later, Ma Shiying could only say in embarrassment that he was playing the imperial court and recommended Liu Chao as the chief soldier of Henan, and set up a separate town in Yongcheng, and Liu Chao's army did not need to be disbanded. However, the city had to be opened immediately and the Ming army should be allowed to enter the city.
It is said that when the negotiations have reached this point, anyone will be happy to surrender Kaiseong.
But Liu Chao also brought a letter to say, Master Ma, your conditions are not ungenerous. However, how can people be trusted, maybe I, Liu Chao, opened the city with the front foot and let you in, and you will kill in the city with the back foot. There are many of you, and I have few soldiers, but I can't do you as a horse servant. Besides, the Ningxiang army is too fierce, and there is no need to come in too much, a thousand-strong team can slaughter my Yongcheng cleanly.
When you Master Ma was in Guizhou, I knew you very well, and the methods were very vicious. I also killed 4,000 of my soldiers in Suzhou before, and this time if I Liu Chao obediently goes out of the city, I may be buried by you.
Lord Ma, Lord Ma, as soon as I heard your name, my Liu Chao felt a sudden burst in my heart, how can you tell me to believe you?
Seeing that Liu Chao was so suspicious and cunning, Ma Shiying smiled in his heart at the moment, and ordered Fu Shan to set out his final conditions, the two families got married, and let an accompanying seventh-grade official be a guarantor
γ
At this time, Liu Chao was completely relieved. Civil officials attach the most importance to etiquette, and etiquette is the foundation of their foothold in the world. Now Ma Shiying proposed to marry the two families, which made a big fanfare and everyone knew about it, which can be said to have given him a reassurance. It seems that Ma Shilang really wants to surrender himself, as long as this ceremony is reached, he will be completely safe, where is the reason for his father-in-law to kill his son-in-law. I heard that Ma Shiying's daughter is a famous beauty, hehe, the old man is really a tree ploughing flowers and pressing begonias this time.
The main reason why Liu Chao killed officials and rebelled at the beginning was that he was purely to be an official when he first started the army. But once the troops were raised, the imperial court urged itself to send troops to Kaifeng. Just kidding, his subordinates are all rabble, go to Kaifeng and fight Li Zicheng, isn't that death?
But the court pressed too hard, and sent people to keep an eye on him. As a last resort, he killed the officials of the city and pulled up the anti-flag.
The reason for this is that he rebelled not because he was really afraid of breaking into the army.
Now there is no need to go to Kaifeng to die, but he can lead a town to be a festival envoy at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and marry a fifteen-year-old ******, which is really wonderful, and this An is a trick.
Soon, the messengers of the two families came in and out of the city and reached an agreement.
Liu Chao sent a subordinate to send the six gifts, and Ma Shiying also accepted it happily and wrote a marriage letter by hand.
The so-called six rites are: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, announcing and greeting.
Of course, this is the battlefield, and the marriage will not be done until after returning to Nanjing.
The two families have made a wedding date, on the ninth day of October this year.
When the dowry came, as if he was afraid that Ma Shiying would regret it, Liu Chao made a grand discussion, sent more than 50 people, dressed in red and hung colors, blowing and blowing, and carrying dozens of vermilion lacquer boxes back and forth in the old camp of the three armies of the Ming army for more than two hours before handing them over to Governor Ma.
His hand was really enthusiastic, and almost all the Ming troops ran out to see the excitement. In addition to the Ningxiang Army, the officers and men of the Lufeng Army and the Nanjing Army were full of joy. They were already frightened by the brutal battle of the city, which lasted for almost two months. Now, Liu Chao accepts Zhao'an, and everyone can finally escape from this life and death field and return to their hometown, which is a great joy!
The war was not able to end because of General Sun Yuan's proposal to recruit peace
γ So, in the past few days, everyone saw Sun Yuan with gratitude and admiration, which made Sun Yuan cry and laugh.
The Six Rites are followed by the Three Books. The three books are the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome.
Letter of Appointment: The letter of engagement is the formal marriage contract between the man and the woman; Najib.
Book of Gifts: The Book of Gifts, which is a list of gifts, which lists the types and quantities of gifts. It is used when it is collected.
Wedding book: that is, the book of the bride. It is used when picking up the bride on the wedding day.
The letter of welcome is not needed now, but once the letter of appointment and the number of gifts have passed, the marriage of the Ma and Liu families is considered to have legal effect, and neither party can regret it. Otherwise, not only will they be condemned by public opinion, but they will also have to be investigated for legal responsibility, which is written into the "Da Ming Law".
After completing all the procedures, Liu Chao finally agreed to surrender, and agreed with Ma Shiying that the city gate would be opened early tomorrow morning to let the Ming army enter the city.
"The Battle of Yongcheng is finally over." That night, Sun Yuan stood on top of the earthen fence for the last time, stroking a large wooden stake with his hand, smelling the fishy smell in the night wind, and sighed a little.
The circumference of this long circumference is more than ten miles, and it will be demolished after Liu Chao is surrendered tomorrow.
Overhead, the lantern swayed in the wind, and there was a shadow of light under his feet.
Except for the soldiers of the Lu Feng Army, who were carrying longbows and sentry on the long fence, the other soldiers were sleeping behind the earthen fence, and there were low snores everywhere.
In this battle, the Lu Feng army fought the hardest and sacrificed the most. The brutal assault frightened them all and destroyed them. However, this garbage army has also been trained into veterans. In this world where the army is worse than the other, the Lu Feng Army is not so bad in comparison.
Looking at Ma Shiying beside him, Sun Yuan suddenly felt a little impulsive and wanted to ask him to hand over this unit to himself. If he sent a group of officers over and used the tactics of the Ningxiang Army to Leshu, it would only take half a year to train a 2,000-strong elite army.
However, after thinking about it, I couldn't open my mouth about it. If you want to get the command of this army, unless you are the governor of Fenglu. Jokes aside, the post of Governor General is generally held by civilian officials. I opened my mouth rashly, just afraid that Ma Shiying would suspect me of ulterior motives.
Moreover, this army is Ma Shiying's heart, is he willing to hand it over?
Besides, infantry can be practiced endlessly like an assembly line with my method, so why bother to fight the idea of Lu Fengjun and make trouble for yourself?
After Ma Shiying finalized the matter of surrendering Liu Chao, he was in a good mood, and he drank a lot of wine today, and his face was full of red light
γ
seemed to be aware of Sun Yuan's thoughts, and said: "At the beginning, the Lufeng army is now out of the fight, and it is said that the elite soldiers must be led by strong generals. However, as you know, this time to conquer Liu Chao, Luzhou Huang Degong contributed a lot. Luzhou provided a large amount of grain and people, and General Huang sued the old man to the military department. After this battle, the old man will hand over his post as governor of Fenglu and return to Nanjing, and I plan to hand over this army to General Huang. β
Huang Degong has a good reputation in history, he is a good man in the four towns of Jiangbei, and he later died on the battlefield of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and his integrity is good.
Ma Shiying patted Sun Yuan's shoulder and said with emotion: "This battle is like this, and the old man didn't expect it to be like this." Especially when the army came to rescue Liu Chao, the old man had already prepared for the worst----- the thief army was overwhelming, and this Yongcheng could not be defeated, and it was not good to say that our army would suffer a defeat." When the time comes, let alone Yongcheng, even Suzhou and even Fengyang will not be able to keep it. Fengyang is lost, Nanjing is in danger! ----- didn't want to, at the beginning, you only took 2,000 iron horsemen, and in one day, you defeated the 70,000 army of the innovator army and beheaded countless people. Now, he has offered a clever plan to surrender Liu Chao. β
"Now, the situation in Fengyang and Nanjing is settled, all because of the original work. The old man also admires your military methods, and he should report to the Nanjing Sixth Department for your light work. β
was praised by Ma Shiying, Sun Yuan was also proud in his heart, and hurriedly gave his hand: "Ma Shilang praised it, Sun Yuan only did what he should do." β
Ma Shiying held his hands and said with a smile: "Of course, you are already the chief military officer, and even if the court rewards him, he won't be rewarded anything." Tell me for yourself, whatever reward you want, as long as the old man can do it, he will answer you. β
Sun Yuan: "Squire, as long as Sun Yuan can contribute to the country, he doesn't dare to ask for the governor's reward." β
Ma Shiying pointed at Sun Yuan and smiled: "You, you, why do you say this?" Ruan Jizhi said in a letter to the old man, you are the one who likes yellow and white things the most. Actually, you don't have to think too much, Yue Fei once said: Civil officials don't love money, and military officials are not afraid of death, which can lead to peace in the world. It can be seen that honesty has never been a must-have ethics for a military attachΓ©. The 300,000 taels of silver that the old man promised you for the rest of the troops will be allocated to you in a penny. β
He pointed at Yongcheng with a spurt of wine in his mouth, and said: "If Yongcheng is opened tomorrow, the two armies of Lufeng and Nanjing will not enter, only the Ningxiang army will be stationed, and the woman in the city, Jin Bojun, will take it by herself."
γ β
Sun Yuan was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but say, "That's a good feeling!" β
Ma Shiying laughed proudly, waved his sleeves, and left with a long roar.
This is indeed good news, Yongcheng is the gateway to eastern Henan, and it is very rich. Moreover, after Liu Chao got into trouble, he robbed the rich families in the city, and plundered Suzhou, and I don't know how much property he accumulated in the city. Anyway, there must be hundreds of thousands of taels, right?
Ning Xiangjun's income over the years has been invested in the water army, and he is very poor. If you take the goods of Yongcheng, it will not be without a small remedy.
"No, it looks like there's something wrong!"
Sun Yuan scratched his head and thought for a long time, then he remembered that Liu Chao had surrendered to Ma Shiying. Your horse squire has promised to protect the lives and property of the rebels, what good can I do if I go into the city to help bury the corpses?
What is this Ma Shiying doing when he says this nonsense, isn't this washing up my Sun Yuan?
Ma Shiying must have been drunk.
After getting off the earth fence and returning to the camp, Sun Yuan was still puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was the problem.
was about to go to bed, at this time, Huang You and Yu Xiang came over in a hurry, and both of them were happy.
"You came in such a hurry in the middle of the night to see so-and-so, what happened?"
Huang You: "General Yu, the news of the Yuanzi Battalion and the Weizi Battalion is here, saying that the army is in a hurry all the way and has arrived in Fengyang, and it will be able to reach Yongcheng in ten days at most." β
"Okay, great!" Sun Yuan slapped his thigh excitedly: "This Ma Shiying is really vigorous and resolute, and he transferred the Yuanzi Camp and the Weizi Camp so quickly." These, there is no need to worry about the lack of troops to break the siege of Feng. Indeed, Sun Yuan has already made up his mind that when the battle in Yongcheng is over, he will lead his troops to Kaifeng.
Ma Shiying's soldiers and the Nanjing army would definitely not go with them, they were not interested in fighting. His more than 2,000 cavalry may not be of much use when he arrives in Kaifeng.
Now that the two battalions of infantry have arrived, Sun Yuan is a little more sure about unlocking the siege of Feng.
