Chapter 67: Negotiations Break Down

"First, if you want food, bring a million taels of silver.

Second, it is okay to hand over the ox's Lu to you, but I want you to promise with your own mouth that you will never attack my Yulin. ”

"Just these two, if you satisfy me, the food will be given to you with the people, otherwise, there is no need to talk about it." In response to the harsh conditions put forward by General Hao just now, Shi Lei also put forward two more difficult conditions.

"You, hmph, it's really a yellow-mouthed child who doesn't know how thick the sky is, I think you're going crazy, do you know who you're talking to about conditions, putting forward such conditions, do you know what happened to those who oppose us from the establishment of our army to the present? There is only one ending, that is, death, whether it is the King of Qin in Xiangyang, or the King of Fu, or even Sun Chuanting is this ending, do you know, so, this general will give you another chance, if you are willing to join us to break into the army, it is also possible to be promoted and knighted at that time, otherwise, the first few people will be your example. Hearing the harsh conditions proposed by Shi Lei, General Hao suddenly said with a cold face.

"Haha, since that's the case, then we don't have anything to say, the gate is over there, so it's better to leave." Shi Lei, who was no longer making any illusions about this negotiation in his heart, said with an indifferent face.

"Okay, good, good, good boy, you wait, soon you will pay the price for your words today, when the time comes, General Ben will definitely watch you kneel in front of me, crying and shouting and begging me to spare you, and when the time comes, General Ben will see that you can still laugh." After saying that, General Hao turned his head and walked out.

Seeing General Hao's back, Jia Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "My lord, are we doing this, now that our strength has offended the Chuang army, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome, if we are not careful, maybe we will be completely wiped out." ”

It's no wonder that Jia Hanqing thinks so, you know, in the past two years, the development of the army has been very rapid, defeating Zuo Liangyu in Hubei, and defeating Sun Chuanting in Henan, in the blink of an eye, Xi'an City will also belong to them.

But Shi Lei knows what the real Chuang army looks like, the superficial brilliance cannot solve the internal decay, it is precisely because the development of the Chuang army is too fast, so that they have become a real castle in the air, no foundation, no stable base, no effective management personnel, no detailed battle plan, some are just a few leaders at any time to make decisions, this is to meet the Ming who has no ability to fight back, if you change an opponent, like the Manchu regime, the army will be quickly beaten back to its original shape.

For such an opponent who is strong and capable, to be honest, Shi Lei really looks down on it, of course, no matter how wrong the army is, it is not something that Shi Lei, who has just begun to develop, can fight against, but Shi Lei will not accept the unreasonable conditions of the army because of this reason.

Shi Lei, who already had an idea in his heart, said, "Don't worry, Lao Jia, the army will not turn against us because of this matter, besides, even if we turn our face, we are not afraid, as long as he dares to come, I will dare to break a few of his teeth, let him know that we are powerful." ”

"General, how did you negotiate with that county commander, did he agree to our conditions?" Walking out of the gate of the county office, General Hao had just mounted his horse when he heard a personal soldier beside him ask.

For this person who looks like a pro-soldier, but is actually his own staff, General Hao still trusts him very much, and said, "Mr. Tong, that yellow-mouthed boy is really hateful, he actually dares to open his mouth, I left in a fit of anger, his grandmother's, really angered Lao Tzu, I led the troops to level his small Yulin City." ”

Hearing General Hao's words, Mr. Tong's heart sank, and he knew that the owner had made an old mistake again, and immediately said regretfully, "Hey, the general is too impulsive, have you forgotten that both food and Niu Gongzi are indispensable things, without food, after going back, you can't explain to King Chuang, and Niu Gongzi can't save it, when the time comes, you finally have a relationship with Niu Daren, isn't it so in vain?" ”

"Ah, damn it, I was so mad with that kid that I actually forgot about these things, but, Mr. Tong, you see what to do now, there is a way to remedy it." General Hao suddenly slapped his thigh and said in annoyance.

"Hey, so far, it is estimated that even if the general goes back to negotiate with the county order, it is estimated that there will be no good results, forget it, the general should tell King Chuang about this matter, I believe that King Chuang and Lord Niu will have a way." Mr. Tong shook his head and said with a sigh

"Brother Fang, have you ever felt tired after recruiting 2,000 soldiers at once?" Standing on the high point platform, Shi Lei looked at the soldiers training below, and asked.

"Hahaha, my lord said and laughed, don't say it's two thousand, you just give me 20,000, I won't feel tired, but I will be more and more energetic, don't say it, my lord, the method of training soldiers you explained, it really works, no matter how difficult it is to train soldiers, after practicing here for a few days, there is such a momentum on the body, which makes people feel comfortable to watch, but, my lord, now that there are so many more soldiers at once, should there be less money and food, otherwise, the county government will not be able to bear it!" It's no wonder that Fang Junchi would ask this.

You must know that when Shi Lei first started recruiting soldiers, in order to be afraid that no one would come to apply, he greatly increased the soldier's salary, five taels of silver per month for a soldier, and three taels of silver per month for an auxiliary soldier.

And this is why we were able to quickly recruit 2,000 recruits, not to mention those homeless people with such high conditions, even many people from Yulin and other places, after hearing this, came to sign up, and many people who could not be named were disappointed and returned.

Hearing Fang Junchi's words, Shi Lei did not nod, but said with a straight face, "Brother Fang, do you think that a soldier is a lot of five taels of silver a month, but I don't think it's much at all, you look at these hot-blooded men, why did they come to be soldiers, you must know that being a soldier is a death, but they still came, why, isn't it for the sake of the family to have a stable life, just such a simple request, if we can't meet it, you say, How else do we want these people to fight for us on the battlefield and shed blood.

Therefore, I have decided that in the future, in addition to a stable salary, and in addition to a certain amount of wartime allowance will be distributed to each person during the war, and I will not ask for anything else, except that I do not want these most honorable people to shed blood and tears. ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, all the people on the stage, whether it was Fang Junchi and other old brothers or recruited new soldiers, knelt down on one knee and gave Shi Lei a heavy military salute, although they didn't say anything, but the excitement and recognition in their eyes were the best support for Shi Lei

When General Hao sent the content of the negotiation to the camp outside Xi'an City, Niu Jinxing, who saw the news, immediately kicked over the case table in front of him, and scolded angrily, "There is not enough success and more than failure, and even such a little thing can't be done, just be embarrassed to beg me to say good things to you in front of King Chuang, Hao Shaoqi, if my beloved son loses a hair, I will let you die a good death." ”

It's no wonder that Niu Jinxing was so angry, after receiving the news from the thunder, in fact, Niu Jinxing wanted to find a stable person to go to Yulin for negotiations, after all, it was related to the life of his only son, if he was not stable, if his only son was hurt, wouldn't he even have a person to send to the end when he was old.

However, what he didn't expect was that this Hao Shaoqi suddenly came up to ask to see him, saying that he was willing to go to Yulin to rescue his son, if it was someone else, Niu Jinxing didn't have to give face, but if Hao Shaoqi said, Niu Jinxing had to think more.

Although Niu Jinxing is smart and capable, there is one thing that is not good, that is, he is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others, so he has a very awkward relationship with several other important people under King Chuang, whether it is Liu Zongmin, Li Guo or Li Yan, they don't deal with it, especially Song Xiance, who is also a think tank, which is his mortal enemy.

But Niu Jinxing, as the left assistant of the army, would not have killed himself if he had not had the support of the generals with the troops, and it was at this time that he found Hao Shaoqi, who was suppressed in the army.

Hao Shaoqi is not Li Zicheng's descendant, originally they were all Gao Yingxiang's generals, and later after Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng took the opportunity to take the position, and Hao Shaoqi himself led a group of people to the world, but what he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for them to be defeated by the official army.

Although Li Zicheng was born as a post man, he is not a fool, he took in Hao Shaoqi just to show his benevolence and righteousness, how could he really let him expand his power, so after the two were combined, Niu Jinxing relied on Li Zicheng's trust and gave Hao Shaoqi some convenience from time to time, and over time, Hao Shaoqi slowly gathered some strength, and Niu Jinxing also relied on Hao Shaoqi's support and Li Zicheng's trust, becoming stronger and stronger within the army, and gradually became the second person in the army.
