Chapter 339: Negotiation at the Table
Yang Fan pointed to the map and said: "Now, the rebel army fled from Shanxi to Henan, and then from Henan to Anhui, but it was counter-encircled and suppressed by the southern army, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will come to Huguang." We have here, although there is General Lu guarding it, but it is difficult to support it alone, so this one ......" He pointed his finger up along the map, passing through Changsha, Changde, Jingzhou, and Kuizhou.
"This is the first line of defense. I have seen the geographical location of your seven mountains and twelve rivers, which is very suitable for joint defense, so I came to seek cooperation. ”
Qi Tianhu looked at the map, moved his neck left and right, and said, "Mr. Yang still hasn't explained, why should we work for the imperial court?" This rebel army does not care about our affairs, and he fights wherever he goes, and he does not have a line with us. ”
"Hehe, if the head of Qi says so, it is very wrong, think about it, who is the most hated person among the people in this radius of a hundred miles?" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said: "The people of Huguang are safe, and there is Lu Xiangsheng to guard the town, and the relationship between the soldiers and the people is not at the point where they have to rebel. Do you say that the rebel army that wants to establish power in Huguang will always destroy your Lianghu Village and make those poor people respond to it, or do you want to go to the court officials and soldiers?
Although there are more than 1,000 people in your Lianghu Village, there are not enough 500 people who can really be drawn to fight as strong men. In this way, if you still want to fight with tens of millions of rebels, it is estimated that even the bones will be left, and even the bones of people will be eaten. This is not for fun. These people are all from Shaanxi, where there has long been drought to the point that there is no grass, and it is normal to eat people. ”
Yang Fan said this. Leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "You have thought it through yourself." Don't think about it like last time, saying that it's Zhao'an. is also engaged in some things that violate the yang and the yin, harm others and benefit themselves. Qi Tianhu's eyes rolled, his momentum was lowered a lot, and he looked at Yang Fan and said, "What good is it for us to help the imperial court guard the customs?" ”
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It's not to help the imperial court, but to help yourself." This time, if you cooperate with the imperial court, you will be registered, so that you don't need to be dragged to the battlefield. The key to defending one's own mountain is that if one side is in trouble, all parties have to go to support, and they must be dispatched by the imperial court. For example, if one of your seven mountains and twelve rivers encounters a rebel army in one place, if other places receive news from the imperial court, they must send people over to relieve the siege, that is, this line of defense. conAd1(); The biggest beneficiary is yourselves. And the imperial court is just a matchmaking function for you. ”
"Mr. Yang, then there must be bargaining chips when talking about business, let's do our best. Don't the people in the court have to give some money or something? Qi Tianhu tested Yang Fan's bottom line.
Qian Qiye slapped his big hand and said angrily: "It's all like this, how do you want to drop it?" If it weren't for Dean Yang's speech. Lao Tzu ......" Yang Fan stopped Qian Qiye and directly pushed him back to his seat. said: "Of course, this is my strategy for the people of Huguang, as well as the imperial army and all the cottage heroes. It's not much of a business. If we have solved the problem of the line of defense that we just mentioned, then we will talk about other matters next. ”
Qi Degui on the side listened to it for a long time, and finally spoke, "Huzi, promise Yang Ye." You haven't seen those thieves who revolted, the good ones are turning over with the poor people, and the bad ones are just thinking about where to rob and where to steal something, and it's very messy. If they really kill it, this good village must not be ruined by them. ”
"Daddy, I listen to you, isn't it just to guard the village together, how to keep it or not, in this way, Mr. Yang, I will discuss it with the brothers of the seven mountains and twelve rivers after dinner, and then give you an answer?"
Yang Fan wished that Qi Tianhu would help him match the bridge in the past, so he smiled and said: "This is the best, and I promised that as long as this line of defense is completed, seven rivers and twelve mountains, each family will be funded five hundred taels of silver in the name of each family for one year, and it will not be a tribute." ”
"Five hundred taels!" Qi Tianhu is just a reckless, he has never seen the world, and when he heard that he didn't need to do anything else, it was completely for the benefit of others and himself, and he could still take money, so he agreed and said, "Okay, good." Mr. Yang's heart will be conveyed to you brothers in the future. In this way, it's not too early, how many people have a meal here? ”
Han Zhongjun thought that Yang Fan would not be able to handle it, and in the end he would have to rely on himself to exterminate all these thieves, but he didn't expect to be Yang Fan going back and forth like this, and it seemed that all the problems had been almost solved, so he stood up and said: "I won't eat the meal, I hope that when he checks the household registration every day, the head of Qi Da will not be hiding and obstructing." ”
Yang Fan said: "Then don't send Han Zhongjun, the money will be total." ”
Qian Qiye curled his beard and said, "Yang ...... Won't Dean Yang go back with us? Yang Fan arched his hand and said: "I have to catch up with my old friends in the future, so I won't join the army with you." conAd2(); Another day, another day, we're planning well. ”
Han Zhongjun hugged his fists and saluted, his face was a little ugly, and said, "Then I will leave!" "I thought that this time was another great opportunity to make military achievements, but I didn't expect that Governor Lu would have to do something to unify the joint defense line and cooperate with these mountain bandits, I really didn't understand it. But he can't say anything, these people are Zhao'an, in other words, he is really not good at them to operate.
The Tianxiong camp slowly withdrew, and Qi Tianhu instructed the brothers in the village to put the captured pheasants into the pot, and specially slaughtered a sheep to entertain Yang Fan. However, it is not so much about entertaining Yang Fan, but about entertaining Yang Fan with five hundred taels of silver.
Qi Degui took advantage of him to roast the sheep in person, pulled Yang Fan, and said: "Master Yang, we can't accept this silver, this will cost you 10,000 taels of silver every year, and you won't be poor." As you just said, you're no longer a lord, how can you be so extravagant. In this way, Xiao Lao'er will talk to Huzi now, and just say that the five hundred taels just now were what you said casually, and don't count them. ”
"Alas, old Qi. You also know what kind of person I Yang Fan is in Linghe City, how can you not count the water that you spilled when you say it? Besides, this is not a loss-making deal, how can you say it and not make a count? ”
"It's all lost to grandma's house. 10,000 taels of silver a year, how many years will it take to earn it back? ”
Yang Fan said with a smile: "What's the hurry, I didn't say that this silver is all paid in cash, you can see, these seven mountains and twelve rivers are going to reproduce the glory of the Thirteen Stations again!" Lao Qi's pupils shrank, and said, "Could it be ......" He remembered the thirteen mountains, the tube buildings that have been lined up one after another, living there, are really not afraid of wind and rain, and they are very strong.
