Chapter 220: Minmi Island is in hand

"General Pang let us in?" Li Liang and his wife glanced at each other, and a hint of joy flashed, their hairy son-in-law has not done things too well, and it seems that there is still a chance to redeem it.

Under the leadership of the sergeant, Li Liang and the others came to Pang Gang's big tent. At this time, Pang Gang was very different from the appearance in the welcome hall just now, Pang Gang sat on the handsome seat of the big tent, there were several officers standing on both sides of him, and on both sides of the big tent were more than a dozen uniformed sergeants who were standing straight with their hands, their right hands were all on the hilt of the knife at their waists, and their murderous eyes were glaring at him.

They naturally had a terrifying temperament between their demeanors, which made Li Qi and his wife and several officials behind them tremble.

Seeing Li Liang and his wife come in, Pang Gang nodded slightly, and glanced at a sergeant next to him, who quickly moved a stool for everyone to sit down, Pang Gang then stood up and hugged his fists without humility or arrogance and said: "Your Highness, why do you have the leisure to come to the military camp of your son-in-law?" ”

Li Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly, his cheap son-in-law really didn't give face when he got angry, you picked your son and left, but what about the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in North Korea and the Li Dynasty? Now let him, a cheap old man, intercede with his son-in-law, which is not kind.

Li Qi reluctantly smiled and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you and I are both our own family, you can't see that the rivers and mountains of North Korea are invaded and occupied by those Qing troops." ”

Pang Gang snorted coldly and said: "This doesn't seem to be my business, I originally wanted to help, but some of you don't want to, you always think that I have ideas about your territory, I can't afford to provoke me and I can't hide?" ”

Li Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't know, that Li Jushu has passed away." ”

"What, dead?" Pang Gang couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that he had already practiced the magic skill of staring at who was dead? Otherwise, this old man would have died too coincidentally, right?

Seeing Pang Gang's stunned gaze, Li Liang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, that Licao sentence died at an inopportune time.

Seeing that his cheap father-in-law's face was already red like a monkey's buttocks, Pang Gang was also embarrassed, thought about it and said: "Since Licao has unfortunately passed away, then this matter is over, but the matter of our army going out tomorrow cannot be extended any longer, I have been out for more than a month, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to explain to the emperor." ”

"Ah, what do we do then?" Li Liang was anxious when he heard this.

Seeing Li Liang's anxious appearance, Pang Gang was secretly refreshed, and said secretly: "If you didn't help my brother talk when you watched the excitement just now, you also have today." ”

Pang Gang pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it before he said slowly: "I still say the same thing, lease Shenmi Island to us as a naval base, where can we camp troops in Qingzhou, first, we can deter the Qing soldiers, and secondly, once something happens, we can directly support you, if you have no opinion, we can sign an agreement as evidence, if you don't want to, then I haven't said it." ”

Everyone in Korea fell silent, and Jin Shiyancai, a long-time soldier, asked with a wry smile: "Dare to ask General Pang, how long do you want to lease Midao?" ”

Pang Gang lightly stretched out a finger and said, "I have to lease it for at least a hundred years!" ”

"What? A hundred years? "The crowd almost fainted when they heard this, and this is not the same as giving you the island.

"General Pang, what's the difference between you and Ming Rob!" The angry Jin Shiyan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared loudly.

In the face of Jin Shiyan's roar, Pang Gang did not show the slightest uneasiness, but said lightly: "Of course, the difference between it and Ming Robbery is that I will not force you to sign this contract, if you don't want me to leave tomorrow, you will never stay for even a quarter of an hour, and the most important thing is that you can take it back after a hundred years." ”

Jin Shiyan felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook and almost fainted, he couldn't wait to scold the shameless general in front of him: "Can you be more shameless?" ”

Pang Gang didn't pay attention to this Bing Cao, whose face changed more than a dozen times in an instant, he never thought that there was any sincere friendship between countries, some were just **naked interests, you should have the consciousness of a small country if you are a small country, and if the boss needs your island, you should give it with your hands obediently, if you dare to play any surname brother, he will loosen your bones for you.

At this time, Concubine Xian, who had not spoken, also said to Pang Gang in a pleading voice: "Son-in-law, can't the lease of Shenmi Island be reduced a little more?" ”

Looking at Concubine Xian's pleading eyes and red and swollen eyes, Pang Gang shook his head ruthlessly and said: "It's not that the son-in-law is ruthless, but it has to be so, originally the son-in-law only wanted to rent it for three years and five years, but he intervened in such a thing." If the son-in-law is not dealt with like this, wouldn't anyone be able to point at the son-in-law's nose and scold in the future, and what face will my Ming officials have. ”

"Bastard, it's the damn Li Junjie again!" All the North Korean officials present were eager to drag the dead Li Junjie and give him another fifty whips.

In the end, the helpless people had no choice but to agree to Pang Gang's unreasonable demand, and jointly signed an agreement, which stated that North Korea was willing to lease Shenmi Island to the Ming Kingdom at a price of 1,000 taels of silver per year for 100 years, during which the Ming had the right to dispose of anything on the island, and the ownership of the island would be returned to Korea after a hundred years.

In the case of your willingness, the agreement quickly passed the review of both sides, after the signature and seal of the top leaders of both sides, the agreement is officially effective, although the signatory on the Ming side is General Dingyuan of Shandong, but no one has any doubts about this, as if this is a matter of course.

After signing the agreement, the once sincere smile finally returned to Pang Gang's face, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, Princess, you can rest assured that we will send sailors and garrisons on Shenmi Island as soon as possible, and we will definitely be responsible for the safety of North Korea." ”

Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard this, after this incident, everyone realized that the General Pang in front of him was definitely an alternative general of the Ming Dynasty, and the humility and so-called gentleness of the Ming literati had absolutely nothing to do with him, and there was only **naked interests in his eyes.

After sending Li Liang and the others away, Pang Gang let out a long breath and sat down in the chair, his eyes showing a look of relief. Today's so-called Dolgon's troops preparing to attack North Korea by the Yalu River are all lies concocted by him, and it is true that Dolgon arrived at the Yalu River, but he only stayed for less than two hours to meet Amin and went back, how could he invade North Korea again?

As long as the North Korean side pays a little attention, they can know, but fortunately, they were all frightened by the Qing army, and they finally succeeded in getting their hands on Minmi Island.

"It's really not easy!" Pang Gang muttered to himself
