Chapter 85: Sale

Deqing Green Battalion, the new garrison Tang Sanshui's eyes widened, and he looked at the "Ming Army" lobbyist in front of him incredulously, and after half a sound, Fang said with difficulty: "What did you just say, can you say it again?" ”

The short-legged Zhang An, who was the messenger, was stunned, and dared to say that he didn't understand for a long time?

As soon as he cleared his throat, he said Lang Lang again: "The general of my family is willing to hand over Luo Ding to the Lord, on the condition that Lord Tang must make up the grain and grass that can be eaten by 10,000 people for half a month, and in addition, he must also provide 1,000 catties of medicine, 500 spears, and 1,000 catties of pig iron. My general said that as long as Lord Tang meets the needs of our army, our army will immediately withdraw from Luoding, and there will be no soldier left, and after our army withdraws, Lord Tang's subordinates can take over the whole city. At the same time, our army promised not to set fire to the city, and will definitely hand over a complete Luoding city to the adults. ”

Zhang An spoke clearly and slowly this time, it was really word by word that came into Tang Sanshui's ears, Tang Sanshui heard it clearly, but it was clear and clear, but the confusion and surprise in his heart did not decrease at all, but became more and more confused.

"Is this really what your General Zhou meant?"

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had the token he gave to Zhou Shixiang last time, Tang Sanshui would have suspected that this guy was an impostor. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time he had heard that the army was willing to sell the occupied city as a commodity. The Ming and Qing dynasties have fought for so many years, whether it is the Qing army or the Ming army, which does not regard the territory as more expensive than gold, you fight for me, even if it is an empty city, you have to fight to grab it, and the left and right are not dead but the big head soldiers, the credit of recovering the lost territory (opening up the territory) is really tempting to the generals. Sometimes, several groups of people and horses grab a piece of land at the same time, like a group of hungry dogs fighting for a piece of bone, no one will let go, this time it is strange, there are people who do not want the land, but sell the land, who will believe it? Strange, fucking strange!

"It is indeed the meaning of my general, and I will tell you truthfully, without adding a single word or amending a single word." Speaking of this, seeing Tang Sanshui's confused face, Zhang An couldn't help laughing, and said, "Lord Tang must be confused in his heart, why did my general sell Luo Ding to my lord?" ”

"Confusion indeed."

Tang Sanshui laughed dryly, and did not deny it, listening to the other party's tone, he had to tell the truth, and couldn't help but listen attentively.

"Don't hide it from Lord Tang, it's not that my general is willing to give up Luo Ding, it's really my family's general soldier who has just received an order from the prince of Xining, the prince ordered my family to immediately lead the troops to Guizhou, Luo Ding changed to be taken over by Governor Zhang's soldiers and horses, Tang Lord doesn't know, my family Le General Soldier is not in agreement with Governor Zhang, so my general said to the General Soldier, instead of handing over Luo Ding to Zhang Xiaoqi that bastard, it is better to sell it to the Lord, so that the General Soldier can get some benefits, and the Tang Lord also has the credit for recovering the lost territory in hand, the so-called two are beautiful, why not?"

Of course, Tang Sanshui knew that the governor Zhang in the other party's mouth was Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures of Gao, Lei, Lian, and Qiong in the Ming Dynasty, and also knew that Le Tongwu was a subordinate of Li Dingguo, and was not subject to Zhang Xiaoqi's control. However, whether the Taiping Battalion was Le Tongwu's subordinates or not, he had reservations. The last time he crossed the West River, he was not blind, how could he not see that the Taiping Camp was just a rabble, thinking about it afterwards, I am afraid that the Taiping Camp was mostly scaring himself under the banner of Le Tongwu, if he came back and ordered Qi Qingzhuang to stick to it, then the poor talent Zhou Shixiang may not be able to take advantage of Deqing.

can blame himself for being too greedy, blinded by money, pinching his nose and cooperating with the other party to perform a play, scaring Lu Gongming and those big families in the county magistrate, and also borrowed a knife to kill people and made a windfall.

But it's also a loss to be greedy, otherwise this garrison function will be sat by yourself? What about the pile of silver tickets that grabbed the bottom of the box in his room? What is the plan to be an official for thousands of miles, and what is the picture of tying your head to the belt of your pants and working for the court?

At present, the Zheng family in Chaozhou is making trouble, and the Manchurian soldiers sent by Beijing have gone north to escape the summer, and the two princes are anxious by the Zheng family, and they can't take care of the west side for the time being. At this time, I suddenly led the troops to recover Luoding, presumably the general soldier and the two princes of Guangzhou would be surprised.

It is not too much food for 10,000 people to eat for half a month, and it is not impossible to make up a way by gritting your teeth, a thousand catties of medicine is troublesome, and there is no such thing in the camp, but if you make the silver go to Guangzhou for activities, it may not be possible to get some from the hands of the guys in the Han Army Banner. Besides, the other party said that he wanted a thousand catties, could he really give a thousand catties? In trading, there is always a reason for bargaining, and there is no reason not to bargain.

As for 500 spears, it's not a matter at all, and the pig iron doesn't matter much, these can be made up, and the battle damage is reported afterwards. Can this war not kill people, can it not be bad? Compared with the credit for recovering Luoding, these are not worth mentioning at all.

Thinking of the two princes of Guangzhou hearing the deeds of his lone army recovering the lost land, Tang Sanshui couldn't help but be moved, but he deliberately asked Zhang Andao: "Why does your king of Xining want your general to go to Guizhou?" ”

Zhang An shook his head: "I don't know about this. The conversation changed, "But I don't know if Lord Tang is willing to make this deal?" ”

Tang Sanshui was embarrassed: "This matter is very important, the food and materials that your general wants are not a small number, and the official can't make it up for a while, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run, you let the official think deeply and then reply to your general." ”

"It's okay, before I came, my general told me that Lord Tang must be interested in this transaction, but the number of things is larger, and my lord must inevitably consider it carefully. However, my general also said that compared with what the adults paid, the benefits that the adults can get through this transaction are much more. ”

"Ahem"

Tang Sanshui coughed lightly and instructed the soldiers outside: "Take this Brother Zhang down to eat and drink." ”

"Wow!"

The two pro-soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhang An with a smile on their faces, Zhang An did not refuse, and when he went out, he turned around and said: "Oh, by the way, Lord Tang has to make up his mind quickly, my general will only wait for the Lord for ten days at most, and if Lord Tang does not reply after ten days, the city can only be handed over to Governor Zhang's soldiers and horses to take over." ”
