"Swap captives? What the hell! ”

Yang Chao held a letter in his hand and threw it on the table with a snap.

During the day, the captives were not good at attacking the city, so they shot arrows for a long time, and finally shot a letter.

In the letter, they threatened to exchange hostages with the Ming army, and they named and asked for Beizi Boluo Beizi, who was captured by the Ming army, and they would return the captured Haizhou Zhizhou and a group of officials to the Ming army.

Yang Chao didn't expect that the captives really caught Gao Liangming, he just said it casually at the time, and he was also angry with Gao Liangming for abandoning the city, and at the same time delayed for a while, but he didn't expect that the unlucky Zhizhou still didn't escape.

However, it is better to be captured by the captives and taken to Liaodong to farm, than to be cut by Emperor Chongzhen afterwards.

But using this kind of person to exchange hostages, Yang Chao can't do it, Yang Chao really doesn't care about civil officials like Gao Liangming is one thing, the most important thing is that that Bo Luobeizi is not in Haizhou at all, he has already been sent to Huai'an by Yang Chao, and I am afraid that the time may have arrived in the next few days.

If you want to exchange, you have to exchange with Shi Kefa, with Shi Kefa's temper, it is not certain whether you can agree or not.

So Yang Chao can't manage this kind of thing.

On the second day, the captives still did not attack the city, but sent a man to ride a horse and slowly come to the city on a single horse.

Yang Chao didn't let his subordinates attack, and let this person come to the front of the city.

When the man arrived at the city, he opened his mouth and shouted to the city: "We are going to exchange hostages with you with the white flag Gushan Ezhen Turge, do you agree?" ”

Yang Chao said to Li Wuliu: "Tell him, we still have to think about it, we don't believe them!" ”

Li Wuliu immediately shouted downward, "We adults don't believe you. You have to think about it. ”

The captive shouted, "We really said, give you an hour, if you don't agree, we will attack the city." ”

After speaking. The pat horse immediately left.

But an hour later, the captive came again.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yang Chao asked Li Wuliu to shout: "Our adults said it, he doesn't believe you." You retreat ten miles first, and then we exchange. ”

Obviously. Yang Chao is just delaying time, the longer the time, the better it is for himself, it takes time for soldiers to train, and it takes time to build weapons.

Now although most of the people are organized, they don't even have decent weapons in their hands, and they can practice with wooden sticks, and they go out of the city with wooden sticks to attack the captives, so they laugh.

The captive soldier hated and said, "You are looking for death!" ”

Li Wuliu scolded secretly. was about to hit this captive soldier with a bird's gun, but was stopped by Yang Chao.

When the captives returned, they soon came again.

"We really said, if you don't agree, we'll kill someone in half an hour!"

After saying that, he immediately left.

Soon the captives were seen pushing out a row of captives from the large camp, carrying them all to the river, and making them kneel on the ground facing Haizhou.

Yang Chao saw that although these people were very embarrassed, they were not ordinary people in clothes, so he was convinced that these people were those officials and scholars who fled with Gao Liangming.

At this time, the captives were in the back, and Turg and several high-ranking leaders were watching.

Turg's face relaxed. In his heart, he sneered, the Mongols still like to play with this kind of fancy intestines, and want to exchange hostages with the Ming army. What a naivety!

Don't they know that when the Warat people fought under the city of Beijing, holding the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in their hands, the Ming people did not give in and refused to negotiate.

They didn't know that the little prince had plundered back and forth on the border, and the Ming people did not give in and refused to negotiate.

Nurhachi's cavalry killed more than 100,000 Ming troops, but the Ming still did not give in and refused to negotiate.

Counting this time, they have already entered the customs five times. But the Ming people still did not give in.

For Akito's temperament, Turg is sometimes really incomprehensible.

The Ming people obviously can't beat them. But why don't you make peace with them and give them a sum of money every year? They also saved it to rob it.

But the Ming people just don't make peace.

It's like an opponent who has been knocked to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and you ask him if he is convinced, he stands up straight, thin and weak, and then swallows the blood in his mouth, and tells you loudly that he is not convinced.

Of course, Turg did not understand this spirit that could be eliminated but could not be defeated, because the opponents he encountered all gave in one by one, the Eight Banners defeated Yehe and others, they surrendered, the Eight Banners fought to Korea, the Koreans surrendered, the Eight Banners fought to Mongolia, and the Mongols also surrendered, but they had already entered and exited the Ming city wall five times, and the Ming people just did not surrender.

Not only did they not surrender, they also refused to negotiate peace with you, and insisted that the Eight Banners should belong to them to death, the stubborn attitude of the Ming Imperial Court made the Eight Banners feel crazy, but they had no choice but to loot again and again, although the harvest was expensive, but also the losses were quite heavy, the Ming Dynasty was too big, even if they didn't fight, every time they sent troops, they had to die of illness and thousands of people.

Therefore, Huang Taiji has always hoped for peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, he does not need to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, the vast Liaodong is enough for the sparse population to live, what he needs is the recognition of the Ming court, acknowledging that they are the same as the Liao State and the Jin State in the past, a country that can be equal to the Central Plains Dynasty, not a barbaric and uncivilized tribe.

At the same time, let the Ming Dynasty open the border and Manchuria to the market, it is best to follow the example of the Mongolian tribes in that year, and give a lot of money every year.

However, the court of the Ming Dynasty would rather raise taxes and train troops, fail again and again, and fight again and again, rather than choose a cheaper way of peace talks.

Just last year, their emperor beheaded Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department who had negotiated peace with Manchuria.

Therefore, Turg did not believe that Haizhou City would exchange hostages.

Their emperor refused to exchange even if he was captured, let alone a mere Haizhou governor.

Therefore, the reason why Turg agreed to exchange hostages was actually just to hope that the Mongols would die and be willing to fight side by side with the warriors of the Eight Banners.

Therefore, Turg completely followed the advice of the Mongols, and if they wanted to exchange, then exchange, and the Ming people really refused.

However, Turg still gave the Mongols a chance to threaten Haizhou with murder, isn't it just time, and it will be delayed for a day or two.

Half an hour passed, but Haizhou still did not agree, and Turg really ordered to kill a person.

Turg does not believe in waiting for everyone. Including the Haizhou Zhizhou, after all the killings, the Mongols still did not give up.

Yang Chao coldly watched as the heads fell to the ground, and the headless corpses fell to the river. Blood stained the river.

To be honest, I still have some sighs in my heart, these are scholars. Why bother, if they didn't run at that time, it would be fine to stay in the city now, and if they didn't run, Song Lian should be much easier now.

But do you really exchange these people for hostages, you really can't do it, there is no one in your hands, even if there are people who don't want to.

But when the third person is killed. Yang Chao really let Li Wuliu shout.

The cavalry of the captives came over again, riding arrogantly on their horses, looking at the city, but not speaking, quietly waiting for the Ming army to give in.

Yang Chao asked Li Wuliu to say: "Tell your master, we are willing to exchange, but you have to promise to give up the siege." ”

The captives returned, and after a while, they replied, "Our master has said that I can agree to your request." Release them now, or we will kill all your officials." ”

Yang Chao asked Li Wuliu to continue shouting: "It's okay to release people." But you have to withdraw your troops. If you are not allowed to retreat five miles, you can retreat three miles. ”

The captives snorted, "This can't be done, you must release them immediately." ”

Yang Chao asked Li Wuliu to continue shouting: "We are sincere. In this way, your large camp in the south can not move, and the other three sides can withdraw five miles away, and then we can exchange. ”

The captives went back again, but the reply they brought back was still not yes.

Time went back and forth, and another hour passed.

Opinions on the side of the captives were also divided.

The Mongols are not in harmony with Turg, and even within the Manchu Eight Banners.

The Mongols said that it was not impossible to withdraw the encirclement on the other three sides, anyway, they were cavalry, and they could come at any time.

Some of the people in the Eight Banners really wanted to leave as soon as they rescued Beizi, but they insisted that the Ming army give them a large sum of silver.

This made Turg feel at a loss for a while. I didn't expect that so many problems had arisen since the exchange of hostages.

He also knew that both the Mongols. Or the Manchurians don't want to fight anymore, because they don't see any hope of easily taking Haizhou. I can't see when the city will be captured, so some people are not determined.

This was somewhat out of Turg's expectations, in Turg's imagination, it was impossible for the Ming army to negotiate peace, they wouldn't even talk to them, the most likely thing was that the people sent out were killed by the Ming army in the city at the first time, so Turg only sent a Bao Yi who knew Chinese, wearing armor and riding a horse to shout, but he didn't expect the Ming people to go back and forth to talk to him.

Talking and talking, the people on his side took it seriously, and suggested to themselves one by one to meet some of Mingren's requirements.

"No way, Akito is playing tricks, they are stalling for time!"

Turg exclaimed.

But it can be seen from the looks of his subordinates that neither the Manchu Eight Banners nor the Mongols believe him.

Turg sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "Then if we withdraw our troops, the Ming people still refuse to exchange prisoners, and then we don't make excuses, we must attack the city with all our might, no matter how many casualties there are, until we capture this city." ”

As he spoke, his eyes glared fiercely at Ombu Chuhuer and Shanba, which meant that if the Ming did not exchange prisoners after the withdrawal of the troops, then the Mongols would have to fight to the death, and they would be cannon fodder.

Shanba and Chu Hu'er hesitated, they just didn't want to attack the city, they were all small tribes, and they really couldn't afford to die.

But they couldn't bear the wrath of Turg after being teased by the Ming, and at that time, the more than 3,000 Mongol warriors of the two of them were afraid that they would all be lost under this city.

If so many of your men are lost, they will be doomed when they go back, and in the Mongolian steppe, you will have no warriors in your hands, and you will only be annexed by other tribes.

Unable to afford the losses of the siege or the consequences of failed negotiations, the two of them were like meat in a splint, squeezed on both sides.

In the end, Shanba gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe we can show a little sincerity first." (To be continued).
