Chapter 100: Conditions
Those pro-soldiers also know that now is a critical juncture, and there is not much nonsense. /
directly took out the war horse that had been prepared for a long time, and then asked Wang Zaijin to get on the war horse and escort him out of here.
Fortunately for Wang Zaijin, because the scene was too chaotic, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the cavalry behind did not catch up with them.
But not long after leaving the camp, they suddenly spotted a large force of cavalry in front of them.
Oh, these are the enemy's previous five thousand-man cavalry troops!
Wang Zaijin couldn't help but be surprised.
The five thousand-man cavalry team did not know when they had gone around to the rear of their camp and began to rob and kill the fleeing Ming troops.
Many of the fleeing Ming soldiers saw that the cavalry were in despair, and they knelt down and surrendered.
These cavalry really rushed to kill, tens of thousands of infantry soldiers could kill them, not to mention just some defeated troops.
The glad cavalry did not kill the prisoners, but ordered them to throw their weapons away from afar.
After seeing that the enemy did not kill prisoners, more and more Ming troops began to surrender.
Of course, it was mainly the infantry that surrendered, and it was impossible for the infantry to escape the cavalry.
Only the cavalry tried to fight their way out, they were all the family members of the generals, with the command of the generals, and they would not surrender easily.
As a result, as soon as those cavalry saw the cavalry of the Ming army, they all chased after them.
The cavalry led by Wang Zaijin also attracted their attention, and they all knew that the generals who could lead the cavalry were basically Ming army officials, so they quickly divided a Xuanjia elite cavalry that far exceeded the number of Wang Zaijin's family to chase and kill Wang Zaijin.
Seeing this, Wang Zaijin was so frightened that he almost flew out of the sky.
"Don't worry, the villain is willing to swear to the death to escort the adult out of here."
At this time, one of his family leaders said.
Wang Zaijin glanced at this family leader with a grateful face, knowing that this family leader was so loyal, he should have promoted him more.
It's a pity that there will be no such opportunity in the future, because he is already unable to protect himself.
"Then please."
Wang Zaijin said.
The leader of the clan answered, and then led the clansmen to kill the cavalry.
Wang Zaijin was surrounded by many family members in the middle to avoid harm.
The two cavalry collided like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, there was a burst of people on their backs.
Wang Jaejin closed his eyes tightly in fright, and then stuck to his horse, and his ears were full of slashing and screaming.
Maybe it's because the family protects them well, or maybe it's God's blessing.
When Wang Zaijin opened his eyes, they had already broken through the barrier of this cavalry, and Wang Zaijin was unscathed.
Just as Wang Zaijin was rejoicing, he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind.
"One of those people wears a python robe."
Hearing his words, the hearts of those Xuanjia Elite Riders were all on fire.
In these years, anyone who can wear a python robe is not a real official, maybe this person is the governor of the four provinces.
"Chase! Chase me! There's a big official among those people!! ”
"Capture him alive!"
Those Xuanjia spirit riders turned their horses and chased after them.
Wang Zaijin was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky.
He looked at his clothes and found that he was still wearing a python robe and jade belt.
This made him regret it very much, after all, he didn't have a lot of experience in escaping.
Knowing this, he threw away the python robe.
Wang Zaijin tried his best to slap his horse and run away, while taking off his python robe, and then threw it away.
"He threw away the python robe, and he was the one who wore white clothes and had a big beard."
I don't know which sharp-eyed cavalryman behind said loudly.
Hearing this, Wang Zaijin almost fell under the horse, this really doesn't leave a way for people to live.
He took a look at his clothes, and because the weather was too hot now, he only had this close-fitting moon-white sweatshirt on his body, and if he took it off again, he would be naked.
This is really detrimental to the dignity of the important officials of the imperial court.
Although Wang Zaijin wanted to live, he still wanted the dignity of a literati.
He looked around him, wanting them to take off their clothes and change for himself, but he was a little embarrassed to speak.
Those family members didn't know whether they wanted it or not, and they didn't mention changing clothes with him at all.
This made Wang Zaijin couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, it was really a phoenix that fell to the ground and was not as good as a chicken.
He was the governor of the four provinces, but he only suffered a defeat, and these family members were unwilling to change clothes with him so that he could escape.
Wang Zaijin was angry and desperately flapped his horse and ran away.
But as a pampered Wenchen, his riding skills are really bad enough.
After all, I usually go to court in a sedan chair in the capital, and I am a little older.
Soon he was left behind by those family, who couldn't do anything when they saw him in a hurry.
Riding is not something that can be helped if you want to.
The Darkarmor Riders were getting closer and closer to them, and a large rain of arrows continued to shoot from behind.
The shooting made the family scream, and one after another they were shot by them and fell off their horses.
In the end, Wang Zaijin's war horse did not know who was shot by an arrow, and fell to the ground in pain.
The straight general Wang Zaijin almost fell and fainted.
"Your Excellency!"
Some of the family members were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped, but after seeing the cavalry chasing behind, only a few people stopped, and the others were ruthless and desperately slapped their horses and fled forward.
And those few people quickly drowned out the cavalry that rushed towards them.
Those cavalrymen all surrounded Wang Zaijin with a happy face, and one of the cavalrymen even used a horse lance to pick up the python robe that Wang Zaijin threw away.
"What's your name?"
A cavalryman pointed his horse lance at Wang Zaijin's throat with a fierce expression and said.
Wang Zaijin felt ashamed and angry, and fainted directly.

*****
Lu Yan was wearing a red cloak, riding on a war horse, and together with Jia Xu, he led dozens of personal soldiers around the battlefield.
Now that the battle has come to an end, the Ming army has been defeated by his men as if it were devastating, and there is no need to worry about any danger of turning the tables.
The battlefield was full of dead corpses and weapons thrown by the Ming army, and seeing this, Lu Yan sighed secretly.
It's really a success!
I don't know how many people will die in this battle, and if the whole world is unified, I'm afraid that at least a million people will have to die.
"Another big win."
Jia Xu said with a smile, "I don't know how you plan to face the imperial court after this victory." I don't think the imperial court will give up, and I'm afraid it will continue to send troops to encircle and suppress. ”
Lu Yan said: "Actually, I just want to divide Fujian for the time being, but the imperial court will not agree, so I can only continue to fight." However, I estimate that after defeating the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, the imperial court will not be able to use troops against us again, and when the time comes, there will be Jurchens outside, coupled with various stubborn diseases inside, it will be impossible to talk about it. ”
Jia Xu smiled noncommittally, what to talk about with the imperial court, just knock down the entire Jiangnan, and then the imperial court will not be able to talk about it even if it wants to.
This lord is just too soft-hearted, and soft-heartedness is not a good thing.
At least it shouldn't be too your subordinates.
Jia Xu thought secretly.
At this moment, a cavalryman suddenly flew to report.
"Tell your lordship, just now one of our cavalry captured the enemy's four provincial governors, Wang Zaijin."
Hearing this, Lu Yan and Jia Xu were both taken aback.
"Wang Zaijin, are you not mistaken?"
Lu Yan hurriedly asked.
"We have found a lot of surrendered Ming troops to confirm that he is indeed the Ming army's four-province governor Wang Zaijin."
The herald said excitedly.
Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that this group of subordinates was really powerful, and even Wang Zaijin was caught.
Maybe you can convey your meaning to the court through Wang Zaijin.
At present, the official army has just been defeated, and it is the consistent practice of the imperial court to appease if it cannot be defeated, and maybe the imperial court will soon send an envoy to appease it.
"Quickly order someone to escort him over."
Lu Yan thought for a while and said.
Soon Wang Zaijin, who was tied up with five flowers, was brought up, Wang Zaijin lowered his head, his face was like ashes, and he didn't look at the things around him.
Seeing this, Lu Yanqiang couldn't hold back a smile, and then pretended to be angry at those soldiers: "How can you treat the Inspector like this, why don't you quickly give the Inspector a relief." ”
Those soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly understood, and then they giggled and wanted to untie Wang Zaijin.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
After speaking, Lu Yan personally pulled out his waist knife and cut the rope on Wang Zaijin's body.
Then he personally helped Wang Zaijin and said: "Lord Wang, please forgive your sins, your subordinates are ignorant, and they treat adults so harshly." I will command them to be severely punished. ”
After listening to Lu Yan's words, Wang Zaijin, who was still worried about his life and whether to follow the thief, finally put his mind at ease.
It seems that there is no need to worry about your life for the time being.
Since the enemy has treated him with such courtesy, he will definitely ask for something and will not take his life easily.
He had the intention to show the character of a literati in front of Lu Yan, but he was worried that he would completely anger Lu Yan, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Jia Xu looked at Wang Zaijin, whose face was blue and white for a while, with no intention of interjecting at all.
"Where's the official uniform of Lord Wang?"
Lu Yan asked.
Soon a soldier sent Wang Zaijin's python robe, these are things that prove Wang Zaijin's identity, so they all brought them with them.
After Lu Yan took it, he put the python robe on Wang Zaijin's body, and then said with a smile: "The subordinates are ignorant and let Lord Wang suffer." ”
Wang Zaijin snorted coldly and put this python robe on his body.
After putting on the python robe, Wang Zaijin sorted out his appearance, and then said to Lu Yan with a complicated expression: "Lord Lu is so polite to Wang, I don't know what the plan is. Please also have something to say directly, otherwise Wang will feel uneasy. ”
At this time, Wang Zaijin didn't have the face to say that he was an official, and he just slapped himself in the face when he said it.
"Lord Wang's words are out of sight, in fact, I have no choice but to send troops to the king this time."
Lu Yan said with a smile.
"Today's imperial court has been defeated repeatedly outside the Guan, which is really a loss and humiliation of the country. Today, the saint is not thinking of working hard to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, he favored the Ke clan and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, which really worried the ministers. If this goes on for a long time, how will my Ming Dynasty recover the land outside the Guan, and how will he have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally incumbent upon him to raise troops and serve Wang Qingjun's side, so that the saint can wake up as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yan's expression became very impassioned.
Although Wang Zaijin was indifferent on the surface, he was extremely disdainful in his heart.
Since ancient times, there have been several loyal ministers on the side of King Qingjun, and nine out of ten have wanted to be emperors under the banner of Qingjun.
And isn't it just to pamper your own nurse Keshi?
What's that?
The Ming Emperor has taken his own nurse, and what is the matter with the favor of a Hakka.
Moreover, although the power of the eunuch party is now great, it is far from being so big that it cannot be controlled.
At present, there are still many figures from the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Qi Party in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and these courtiers are completely restrained by the eunuch party.
Raising troops and serving the king, to put it bluntly, he doesn't want to satisfy his ambitions.
If you really have the ability, you should pull it out and practice with the Jurchens, what kind of ability does Guang and Daming plan.
Although Wang Zaijin kept muttering in his heart, he was really not a tough person, otherwise he would not have made such a shameless twist and turn to the emperor.
At most, he just thought about these words, and he would never dare to say them.
"Although our army won this time, I regretted it. I feel that our two armies are fighting, and in the end it is only for the slave chieftain to benefit. Therefore, I hope that Lord Wang can send a message to the court on my behalf, as long as I am willing to meet my few conditions, I, Lu Yan, am willing to accept the appeasement. ”
Lu Yan continued.
"Oh, are you willing to accept the court's appeasement?"
Hearing this, Wang Zaijin couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
But soon he knew in his heart that after all, the Ming Dynasty was founded two hundred years ago, and its orthodox status has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is normal to accept appeasement, but it is not normal not to accept appeasement.
is the so-called murder and arson to be appeased, in Wang Zaijin's view, Lu Yan beat eighty percent of the same idea.
It's just that he made too much noise, and he actually defeated more than 100,000 court officials and soldiers.
Once he found out what Lu Yan thought, Wang Zaijin's mind became active.
He led an army of nearly 100,000 to fight the rebels, but in the end he was defeated, and it was almost certain that he would return to the court and be arrested and imprisoned.
He didn't want to go to the prison with Wang Huazhen, Xiong Tingbi and others to be companions.
There is only one way out of this predicament, and that is to find a way to quell the rebellion.
Now that Lu Yan has sent it to the door and wants to be caressed, it is simply a pillow that comes to him when he wants to fall asleep.
As long as the appeasement can be successful, then even if it cannot be completely exonerated from the crime, at least the capital crime can be avoided.
Thinking of this, Wang Zaijin's face changed one after another, and finally said to Lu Yan with a smile: "Since Lord Lu is willing to accept the appeasement, it is really good." I don't know what conditions you have, just bring it up. ”
Lu Yan smiled, and then said: "My condition is actually very simple, that is, like the Shuwang Mansion in Yunnan, let me live forever in Fujian." In return, I am willing to send a large army out of the customs to fight the Jurchens. ”
"It can't be! This is absolutely impossible!! ”
Hearing his words, Wang Zaijin's face changed greatly, and then he screamed, "In order to cut the feudal domain, Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yongle worked hard, fought an unknown number of battles, and killed many people before they cut off all the vassal kings, and the imperial court will never allow a new vassal king to be produced." ”
"Actually, that's what I thought."
Lu Yan said with a wry smile, "So my plan is still to fight, and I will always fight the whole of Fujian and Zhejiang." What I want to tell the imperial court is that if I defeat the whole of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the imperial court still does not agree to my conditions, but continues to send troops to encircle and suppress, I will attack Nanzhili and Guangdong. ”
"When the time comes, if the court still wants to appease me, my conditions will become even more harsh. If the imperial court still does not agree to my conditions and continues to fight me, I will conquer the entire south of the Yangtze River, and then wave my army north, and then fight with the imperial court. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yan's words carried endless coldness.
"You ......"
Wang Zaijin was so angry that he pointed at Lu Yan and trembled.
"How can you do this, you are simply rebelling like this."
"Isn't it in the eyes of the imperial court that I'm rebelling now?"
Lu Yan said with a sneer.
Hearing his words, Wang Zaijin couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"I was very sincere about accepting the appeasement, although the conditions were a bit harsh. I hope I don't see the day when the imperial court forces me to dominate Jiangnan. I, Lu Yan, am not too sure about other things, but I am still very sure when it comes to fighting. As for my words, I will tell the court on my behalf. ”
Lu Yan said lightly.
"Can't you change the conditions of the appeasement? It is absolutely impossible for the imperial court to agree to such a condition of yours. ”
Wang Zaijin is a little anxious, this matter is a matter of life and death.
"I know, but I have no intention of changing."
Lu Yan said.
After telling Wang Zaijin about his own conditions, Lu Yan ordered 2,000 soldiers to be sent to Wang Zaijin, and let these soldiers escort Wang Zaijin back to Beijing to report the news.
During this period, although Wang Zaijin begged bitterly, hoping that Lu Yan could lower the conditions for accepting the appeasement, so that he could go back to pay the errand, but Lu Yan flatly refused.
