Chapter 471: Half Won
The autumn wind gusted, bringing a rare coolness.
Got rid of the scorching summer, Tang Yi is also much more energetic, in the morning and evening, when he is free, he fights boxing, running, or sits under the grape trellis, pretending to be a belly of grapes, all in all, extremely relaxed.
He has a chic life, but Hu Zongxian can't do it, the governor has been promoted for several months, and he has been working hard with all his strength, but there has been no movement for a long time, and the military salary spent on a month alone is astronomical, if he can't take Xu Hai, he can't explain to Jiajing.
On this day, Hu Zongxian really couldn't stand it, he ran to Tang Yi's residence angrily, and said with a blushing face when he met: "Okay, the three million taels of silver I promised you have been spent, and the roads and ports are being repaired, but what about you, why hasn't Xu Hai taken it yet?" ”
Tang Yi ignored him, but lowered his head and smashed the large grapes with a wooden pestle, mixing the flesh and skin. The skin of the grapes is covered with a layer of hoarfrost, which is the natural yeast.
Just add some honey and sugar, ferment in oak barrels, and it won't be long before a delicious wine is born.
Tang Yi kept his hands and feet, mixed the pounded grapes, put them in the wooden barrel, sealed them, and called Hu Zongxian to move the wine barrel to the corner of the wall and pile it up.
"Brother Merlin, there is little rain this year, the grapes have accumulated a lot of sugar, and the wine made is guaranteed to be delicious, believe it or not, after ten or eight years, this barrel of wine can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, which is worthy of a fine silk."
Hu Zongxian's face darkened, facing each other, and gave Tang Yi a storm of saliva, "Okay, I don't have time to listen to your business experience, I just want to know, when will Xu Hai surrender?" ”
"Brother Merlin. You're concerned about it! ”
Tang Yi wiped his face, sat on the chair with his buttocks, grabbed a large golden pear unhurriedly, and ate the juice flowing.
"Hmph, don't you care?" Hu Zongxian said angrily: "Your Majesty is urging you to open the city of Ningbo, if you don't settle the Japanese Koukou, I see how you explain to Your Majesty." ”
"Huh. Solving a Xu Hai can't eliminate the Japanese Kou, what's the use of me being in a hurry. It's like making wine, you always have to wait for the fermentation to be good, the year is enough, and you can only taste when you take it out and drink it, and I don't want to make a pot of raw rice. ”
Hu Zongxian gasped, of course he knew that the real difficult opponent was Wang Zhi.
But no matter how much he wanted to break his brain, he couldn't find a way to deal with Wang Zhi.
By force. Wang Zhi has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he is an ally with the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and he can call tens of thousands of helpers at any time.
In the text, Wang Zhi is cunning and cunning, and he is a full fox. Over the years, Hu Zongxian has said a lot of good things and given gifts. Even Hu Zongxian fished Wang Zhi's family out of prison and sent him over to show his sincerity.
Wang Zhi treats the sugar-coated cannonballs of the government, and he has always eaten the sugar-coated cannonballs and threw the cannonballs back, no matter what. Just don't be fooled.
made Hu Zongxian cry out that there was no way, could Tang Yi have a way?
"Okay, did you find Wang Zhi's weakness?"
Tang Yi didn't speak, raised his hand and pointed to a plane tree inside the courtyard wall, and Hu Zongxian looked at it carefully. The autumn wind blows, and the leaves of the sycamore turn yellow and fall with the wind, one, two...... They all fell under the trees.
"Okay, you mean that the leaves fall back to the roots?"
"That's right, Wang Zhi is not old, he has been adrift at sea for so many years, although he is majestic, but homesickness must be indispensable. It's just that he doesn't believe in the imperial court, in fact...... I don't believe it either! Tang Yi smiled, "Those Qingliu will definitely not let Wang Zhi go, and things are stuck here." However, if Xu Hai can surrender, the court will be better to him, and will he buy horse bones! At least Wang Zhi can feel at ease, he has a trace of fantasy, things will not be done, and the southeast will be a lot more peaceful in the future. ”
Hu Zongxian was deeply convinced of Tang Yi's judgment, if Xu Hai and Wang Zhi could be solved together, it would be a good thing, but now there is no word, even Xu Hai has not surrendered, can he still hope to surrender Wang Zhi?
Isn't that going in circles!
Seeing Hu Zongxian's suspicions, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Brother Merlin, don't worry, I calculated the time, at most half a month, you can see the difference, before the Double Ninth Festival, Xu Hai will definitely surrender." ”
Hu Zongxian's face sank and asked, "Okay, there is no joke in the army!" ”
Tang Yi didn't eat this, patted his buttocks, and went straight to the canteen, "Brother Merlin, what can you do if you don't surrender, you still dare to cut off my head?" ”
……
Time flies, only three days before the Double Ninth Festival, the Governor's Mansion received a secret letter, Xu Hai sent his brother Xu Hong as a messenger, with a letter of surrender, officially rushed to Hangzhou, to ask for surrender to the Ming Dynasty!
"What a god does!" Hu Zongxian was amazed, and only a stomach full of questions remained, how did Tang Yi guess?
Over the past few days, Xu Hai has been suffering from multiple torments, whether to surrender, or to die, whether to continue to live a happy life, or to be honest and obedient, countless pairs of big hands have been tearing Xu Hai apart, grabbing him in all directions, tearing him apart.
Compared with all kinds of troubles, what worries Xu Hai the most is Wang Cuiqiao's safety, the day of childbirth is getting closer and closer, and his wife is not in good health, whether she can give birth smoothly, whether adults and children can be safe, Xu Hai has no bottom at all. The murderous bandit became genuinely terrified.
Every day with incense and candles, following behind Xuchen, constantly kowtowing to worship the Buddha, in a trance, he actually returned to the scene in the Hupao Temple.
He was like a pious little monk, a little free, so he surrounded Li Shizhen, kept asking this and that, and waited until Li Shizhen couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him out of the pharmacy. As soon as he turned his head, he went to chat with He Xinyin, after all, the widows were a group of illiterate people, and only this one could help him answer some doubts.
"Brother He, you said that I surrendered to the imperial court, will the imperial court treat me sincerely?"
"No!" He Xinyin replied very simply, "General, to put it mildly, who has the court ever been sincere?" Over the years, there have been fewer loyal and righteous people who have been wronged? ”
"Then, if I surrender, isn't it a dead end?"
He Xinyin smiled slightly, "General, if you pin your life on the benevolence of the imperial court, you are afraid that you will be disappointed!" …… However, if the imperial court finds the general useful, then the general can rest easy. ”
Xu Hai fell into deep thought, how can I make the court think that I am useful! His head was a mess, and he really couldn't think of it, but he saw He Xinyin dipping tea and writing a king word on the table, Xu Hai was suddenly startled.
At this moment, someone suddenly came rushing to him.
"Madame is going to give birth!"
Xu Hai jumped up, didn't care about anything, ran directly to the delivery room, and was about to break inside, but the two mothers-in-law grabbed him desperately.
"General, there is blood inside, can't you go in!"
To put it mildly, he pulled Xu Hai back, and after waiting for an hour, Xu Hai felt that he had fallen into the oil pot, and his heart was fried to the outside and tender to the inside.
Finally let out a loud cry, Xu Hai couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed open the door, the room was full of blood.
"Child, child!"
Xu Hai asked blankly, only to see the midwife's face change color, her lips trembled, Xu Hai screamed loudly, and she was so frightened that she almost collapsed.
"Son, speak quickly!"
The midwife pointed to the ground with her finger, Xu Hai flashed her eyes, her head buzzed, and she fell directly.
What was that, a round, fleshy, bloody thing, with short and small limbs, and no hands and feet, no neck, and a pointed head, but two large eyes, very incongruously embedded in what might be called the face, and as for the cheeks, there were even a few long whiskers!
Xu Hai relied on his courage and approached him, touched it with his hand, it was still a little warm, and his muscles bounced, but Xu Hai was frightened, this is a monster!
"God, if you want to punish me, punish me alone! Why do you want to condemn a child who doesn't understand anything, God I hate you! ”
Xu Hai never believed that there was karma in the world, he only believed in one sentence, gods and ghosts are afraid of the wicked!
He was the most vicious man in the world, and nothing could bring him down.
But when he saw that the child had turned into a monster, Xu Hai completely collapsed, he howled and cried, pointing at the sky and scolding, like a wronged child.
Xu Hai slammed the ground hard, knocking out blood from his fingers.
"Why, why?"
"It's you who have done too much evil!" Li Shizhen turned out from behind the screen and said ruthlessly: "Xu Hai, how many people have you killed over the years, how many families and wives have been separated, and how many women have been plundered to the island, ravaged and destroyed by you and your men, and now, retribution has fallen on you, haven't you woken up?" ”
Xu Hai struggled to stand up, his eyes were bloodshot, he grabbed Li Shizhen's clothes, and scolded: "Bullshit miracle doctor, my wife gave birth to a monster, it's all your fault, I'm going to kill you!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Hai pulled out his saber and was about to slash Li Shizhen, when he suddenly called in a low voice, "Stop!" ”
Xu Hai hurriedly looked back, only to see Wang Cuiqiao barely supporting his tired body and half-sitting up.
"You're weak, don't move!" Xu Hai ran to his wife's side, supported her hard, and said with pity: "Cuiqiao, it's all my fault, but don't worry, take care of your body, let's have more children in the future, and have more children, as long as you're okay!" ”
With a smile on her face, Wang Cuiqiao wiped the cold sweat on Xu Hai's forehead.
"General, you are always so good to me, don't you blame the slave family for giving birth to a demon for you?"
"No blame, absolutely no blame!" Xu Hai said in fear: "It's all my fault, it's all my guilt!" ”
Wang Cuiqiao blocked his mouth and pointed behind the screen, Xu Hai hurriedly looked over, only to see another midwife inside, holding a crumpled child in her arms...... In an instant, Xu Hai only felt that the flowers were blooming, and he grinned loudly.
A tanuki for the prince completely broke all of Xu Hai's mental defenses, when he held his son, he only felt that everything was not important, as a father, he had to give his wife and son a safe living environment.
When his son washed the third day, Xu Hai, after careful consideration, officially ordered the whole army to surrender, and a generation of giants officially bowed down in front of the imperial court, resisted the great cause, and won half of it. The situation in the southeast has changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )
