"How? Mr. Wei, how does Governor Zhang reply to me? But is there a definite phrase? ”

In the south of Yangqu City, in a remote and quiet grove, Li Jing smiled and opened his mouth word by word. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And within less than three steps in front of him, Wei Bo'an, who was a staff member under Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, had just hurried from the temporary residence of the governor of Pingyang Mansion in Linfen at this moment, and he went directly to the main topic without stopping.

Hearing Li Jing's words at this moment, Wei Bo'an suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My lord, the chief military officer of Sanguan Town guarding Ningwu, the governor of my family will definitely not be able to give it, if the adult can give in, then the title of a general is not indispensable." ”

It's just that there is inevitably a little low tone when he speaks, but these days, the Shanxi territory has almost made Li Jing bad, and even the imperial court can't continue to negotiate, so he can only acquiesce in Zhang Zongheng's negotiation with Li Jing, and the matter of seeking appeasement is carried out quickly, and there can be no delay for a moment during the period.

It is said that Li Jing wantonly attacked the prefectures and counties in the north, and even broke the city, forcing the elite of the Jin army to start the northward transfer, resulting in the emptiness of the southern line garrison, and was taken advantage of by the rogues to attack several states and counties.

caused Liaozhou to be shocked three times a day, and kept asking Zhang Zongheng for help, for fear of losing his life, Zhang Zongheng had no troops to adjust, and now he was also in a hurry, the north and south were in an emergency, where to find a solution.

And Li Jing's subordinates have not been satisfied with besieging Yangqu recently, and they have divided their troops to attack the city in several ways, which is hateful, and the imperial court has been bent on the battle of the Daling River, and it has not been able to allocate additional money and food to transfer the army westward, so it has made a compromise, only asking for some conditions to meet Li Jing, and call him to recruit peace as soon as possible.

But how could Li Jing be appeased so easily, not to make enough money on the court, he swore not to give up, and simply bragged and scared, "I now have hundreds of thousands of people under my command, and the soldiers are full of food, and the prefectures and counties I occupy, not to mention the hundreds of cities, the imperial court only wants to kill the sword soldiers with the title of just one general, isn't it a lack of sincerity?" ”

People's ** is always in constant change with the change of status, if Li Jing is still a thief on the Tianya Wufeng Mountain, even if the imperial court only gives the identity of a hundred households, Li Jing has to be grateful to Dade and hurry down the mountain to accept Zhao'an.

However, when he captured Dai County, broke Ningwu, and had thousands of soldiers and horses, he was no longer allowed to look at the garrison of thousands of households, not to mention that now he had the advantage, and he knew that the imperial court had almost no soldiers at the moment, so he suddenly opened his mouth and bluntly said that the title of the chief military officer of Ningwu in Sanguan Town could not impress him.

If he only said it for a while, seeing Wei Bo'an rubbing it, he felt upset, so he simply threatened, "As the saying goes, how much meat you eat with a big belly, I am not afraid of panic, if I am told to break the Yangqu and take advantage of the victory to go south to join the Liukou, at that time, hum, I am afraid that the imperial court will have to declare the title of governor to make my heart move." ”

After saying that, I thought in my heart that my family was not really taking refuge anyway, just taking this opportunity to ease the atmosphere with the court, and one day, I still had to fight, so I simply asked for a price and waited for the court to bargain.

And why is this not the case with the imperial court? Those ministers, all of them are human spirits, and now they are appeasing their own families, just trying to drag it out until the battle of Dalinghe is over, and then dispatch the so-called Liaodong Iron Cavalry into the pass to quell the rebellion, in their eyes, I am afraid that they are just a clown.

But who knows? The imperial court not only suffered a crushing defeat at the Daling River, but also launched an internal rebellion against Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde of Shandong who brought reinforcements to Liaodong.

At that time, even if the battle of the Daling River is over and the imperial court turns back, it will not be able to extinguish the rebellion in Shandong first with the main force, and I am afraid that within a few years, it will be impossible for the main force of the imperial court to be transferred to Shanxi to fight their own country.

According to their own limited memory, Shandong can be regarded as a few years of trouble has not been settled, with these two years of work, their own fingers may be to what point it has swelled, who will find who to settle the account, maybe what?!

So he didn't have any scruples about speaking, he could be regarded as having touched the lifeblood of the imperial court, and his tone became more and more serious, which made Wei Bo feel nervous for a while, and secretly thought to himself, why is this thief becoming more and more rampant? Didn't you change your mind about appeasement? Want to fight to the death with the imperial court?!

It's a pity that he is in a humble position and has a low position, and the current situation is Li Jing's upper hand, so he didn't dare to refute it head-on, for fear that Li Jing would not like it, so he directly asked someone to push him out.

However, he couldn't sit idly by, he could only smile with caution, "General, since ancient times in this dynasty, there has never been a person who has become the commander of the whole army in one leap from Bai Ding, everything pays attention to gradual and orderly, if the general rashly ascends to a high position, I am afraid that there are thousands of peeps around." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Li Jing just pointed to the sturdy guards who were guarding around him, and said with a sense of ambition, "I only have a big army in hand, the world is so big, where can I go?" The court is afraid of me, and it appeases me, that is, it is afraid that I have an army, otherwise I would have been made a ghost under the sword.

However, I am afraid that I can't talk about anything with you, you just go back and report the letter, and tell the one who can call the shots, this is the last time, if it is within three days, and I will not allow my conditions, I will raise a large army to break Yangqu, and go directly to Pingyang Linfen to find Governor Zhang for a personal interview, and then see if he is allowed or not! ”

"How can the general be like this?" When Wei Bo'an heard this, his face suddenly changed, you must know that Zhang Zongheng does not have the right to make the final decision, how to talk to Li Jing, in the end, it must be copied and sent to the capital, and the current emperor will issue an order, otherwise it will be empty talk, and he will go back and forth to Yangqu through Pingyang, even if it is a quick report, it will take two days, and the time limit is three days, I am afraid that Li Jing has already made up his mind not to ask for appeasement? !

In this way, thinking that his own future seemed to be in vain, he was suddenly anxious, and he even ignored the occasion, relying on Li Jing's grace of not killing the previous times, and wanted to come up to continue to comfort, but unfortunately the loyal guards blocked it, and they all glared angrily, just waiting for Li Jing's order, and asked others to hit the ground.

Wei Bo'an couldn't, so he asked the two guards to pull and throw them away, and he suddenly became anxious, and shouted at Li Jing's location, "The general is easy to talk about, it's easy to talk, don't be impulsive, it's a big deal." ”

"What else is there to talk about? I don't want to, I don't want to, just don't talk about it. Li Jing's words were not to scare him, but to be tossed out by the court's petty family anger repeatedly, it is said that among the thieves, it is not without being appeased, such as the famous thief Zhao An Bai Guangen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who came up to be a garrison official.

But how many people he has, but only a few thousand, all farmers or something, the importance of having his own army of tens of thousands? If there are a few brains in the court, they should not just use the title of garrison general to prevaricate their own family.

Besides, Bai Guangen is desperate, so he is willing to appease, his own family has an advantage now, and he is even more eye-catching, but it makes people look down on him, how can he make Li Jing not angry, so Lao Tzu also stirred up the situation in Shanxi first, so that the Ming court completely lost Shanxi.

Even if they do this, the court is nothing more than fighting with soldiers and horses, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? Therefore, he bluffed with a gloomy face, "Take my words, go back and tell the governor of your family, within three days, if you don't accept my conditions, you will let the fish die and the net will be broken, just let the court send a large army to encircle and suppress, and you can't bear it when you see it." ”

As he spoke, he waved away his own soldiers and asked Wei Bo'an to come up and listen.

"First, I am allowed to announce to the world that I will be canonized as the chief military officer of the three passes in the Great Wall, and the generals under my command will be recommended by me, and the court shall not interfere, let alone transfer troops to encircle and suppress."

"Second, it is to allow our people and horses to do everything they were forced to do when they were thieves, and they must not be held accountable, and the right should be written off, and we will be allowed to return to the original place, and from then on we will guard the three prefectures of Daizhou, Baode, and Qilan for the imperial court, which originally belonged to a grain and grass tax, which was allocated according to previous years and must not be in arrears."

"Third, most of our troops are from homeless people, and there is no land to settle down, and now there are 150,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 20 counties and millions of people once they surrender, I am afraid that there will be no food for the winter, then the imperial court needs to pay 300,000 taels of silver, 500,000 stone of rice and flour for relief.

When the money and grain were canonized together, Li Mou was clean and neat, and immediately led millions of people under his command to beg to surrender, and from then on he was willing to be a minister of the court, without two hearts, but if one could not be done, he would ask his own blade to take it, and never pray to the court again! ”

But just waiting for these three words, but Wei Bo'an was already opening his mouth wide, and he couldn't close his mouth anymore, it was really Li Jing who said too exaggeratedly, and his mouth was 500,000 stone grain, if the imperial court had this money and grain, how could Li Jing be allowed to make trouble for so long, just distribute this silver to the army, I am afraid that Li Jing's head would have been taken long ago.

I thought to myself, isn't Li Jing stupid? How can such outrageous conditions be named? But looking at him carefully, he doesn't look crazy, but a little calm and decisive.

Suddenly, a thought popped up in Wei Bo'an's mind, could it be that this person felt that he could sweep all over Shanxi, completely rebelled, and didn't want to be appeased by the imperial court?

But if this is the case, I'm afraid it's terrible, the situation in Shanxi, because he has been assisting Zhang Zongheng these days, and he still understands a little bit about appeasing him as the abbot, if Li Jing insists on rebelling, I'm afraid Shanxi will not be able to hold on anymore!

At present, the military officials in the context of Shanxi, which one does not pin all their hopes on Li Jing? It's all up to appease him, and it's best to let him lead his troops south to pacify the thieves and contribute to the court. (To be continued.) )
