"Who is Geng Zhongming?"

"Someone who didn't notice!"

"Oh? A general, how can he not pay attention? ”

"What kind of general is he, he was born as a miner, he was the first to listen to Mao Wenlong, surrendered to the Tartars, and he was just raised as a dog. After so many years, he has no sharpness, and now what he wants most is to save his old life and the glory and wealth of his family. ”

"Then what does he think of Ann **?"

"I should be very afraid, I am a little person in the past, Geng Zhongming and his son feast every day, although they have the intention of obtaining information, but it seems that they want to close the distance and leave a way back for themselves!"

……

Wu Kaijie's mind kept flashing this conversation, and from Wu Huanju's description, the image of a trembling villain with rats at both ends gradually came out.

With this judgment, Wu Kaijie secretly formulated his own coping strategy.

After meeting Geng Zhongming, Wu Kaijie's face was full of arrogance and was not polite at all.

"General Geng, this time the chief is here, don't you want me to come in?"

Geng Zhongming had a dry smile on his face, nodded and said, "It's rude, please come in." ”

When Wu Kaijie arrived at the door, he glanced at Fan Yongdou, who was dressed well, and sneered: "Who is this?" ”

"I am Fan Yongdou of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I have come to meet King Huaishun on the order of the regent. You Ming Dog will be caught as soon as possible, so as not to fall to the ground! ”

"Hahaha, the person wearing it looks like a dog, and he can't even say a word. If you shave the whip, you will be considered a Manchurian, and you will not be ashamed! ”

Wu Kaijie took a sip, turned around and left, Fan Yongdou still wanted to speak, but Wu Huanju rushed over, and he stepped on Fan Yongdou's boots. The hard military boots almost crushed the guy's toes, and Fan Yongdou screamed.

"King Huaishun, can you bear such a madman. Don't catch it yet? ”

Geng Zhongming ignored him, but said, "Mr. Fan, do you need to find a doctor for you?" ”

"No, it can hold on!"

Fan Yongdou had no choice but to grit his teeth and limp to the hall, Geng Zhongming sat in the center, and Wu Kaijie unceremoniously crossed Erlang's legs. took a sip of tea, and then said: "General Geng, after Battalion Commander Wu returned to Henan, he told me that you were going to prepare against the Qing Dynasty, and also told the prince. To tell the truth, the prince didn't believe it. He felt that Geng Zhongming had taken refuge in Tartar for many years, and it was difficult to turn back. What's more, his responsibility is heavy, and the people of the world will not bypass him, so he should be brought to justice, just like he did with Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and others. Peel the daylily to set an example! ”

Fan Yongdou sat next to him, he heard Wu Kaijie's words, and almost laughed, is this a rhetoric to solicit the other party? I don't even understand a little politeness, isn't this forcing Geng Zhongming to fall out with them!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile on his face: Han people are all this virtue, and they are too particular about face. Too moral, not at all as flexible as the Qing court! There is no regent at all.

Fan Yongdou also cocked Erlang's legs, as if waiting for Geng Zhongming to cut Wu Kaijie.

But he didn't see it, just as Wu Kaijie spoke, the teacup in Geng Zhongming's hand touched, and his arm twitched unconsciously.

Wu Kaijie pretended not to see it, and continued to say loudly: "General Geng." King Zhongshan doesn't want to give the general a chance, do you know what happened next? ”

Geng Zhongming didn't speak, and Geng Jumao asked anxiously, "Vice Chief Wu, since you're here." Let's make things clear, we father and son know what to choose! ”

"Hahaha, this official won't sell it. I suggested to the prince that if it had been placed a year ago, we would have categorically not accepted General Geng's surrender, but we have successively gone through the Battle of Northern Henan, the Battle of Lianghuai, and the Battle of Shaanxi. Now the strength and weakness of the Tartars and the Ming have changed. As long as you are not a fool, you know that the strength and heritage of the Ming Dynasty are far better than those of the Tartars, and there are loyal and good generals like the King of Zhongshan. This overall situation must be clear to any smart person, of course, for the people of the world, the faster it comes, the less losses there will be. If General Geng can surrender and Shanxi will be restored, at least tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed, and millions of people will be spared. After all the calculations, the king of Zhongshan agreed to accept General Geng's surrender. How about it, General Geng, you should thank the prince and the official! ”

"Nonsense!"

Fan Yongdou jumped up, pointed at Wu Kaijie with his finger, and said sharply: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to speak so wildly." The Qing Dynasty is unparalleled in the world, and even if it is a small setback, with the regent's great talent, he can overcome the past. Gu Zhenhua did not respect the king, slaughtered countless people, and dared to bark here wildly. King Huaishun, you are also a dignified prince, with heavy troops in your hands, can you tolerate such a fanatic ignoring you so much? You ......"

He still wanted to speak, Wu Huanju grabbed the teacup and smashed it on Fan Yongdou's face, the broken porcelain piece cut his face, Fan Yongdou screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.

"The surname Fan, I sue you, An**'s traitor list has long had your name on it. If you hadn't sold supplies to the Tartars, you wouldn't be in the situation you have today. Every money you earn is soaked in the blood of millions of Han people, aren't you afraid that those unjust souls will seek your life? I sue you, others don't care, An ** won't care, sooner or later one day the world will be restored, a sinner like you should destroy your ten clans, dig out the ancestral graves, and crush the bones and ashes! ”

Wu Huanju gritted his teeth and said a few words, which frightened Fan Yongdou all over, and at this time, Geng Jumao suddenly stood up and smiled at Wu Huanju: "Brother Wu, don't be angry, for my sake, I have something to say." ”

"Face? Shizi, what did you tell me at the beginning, saying that you want to take refuge in An ** anyway. After I went back, I invited the deputy chief over, but you also took in the lackeys of the Tartars, and they stabbed me on both sides, how do you want me to behave? ”

Now it was Geng Zhongming's turn to be embarrassed, and he wanted to take a sip of tea, but he choked. Geng Zhongming coughed, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Second elder, you have to shop around for things, you said that this is a major matter of your life, how dare I make a decision casually!" ”

Wu Kaijie's face was gloomy suddenly, he suddenly stood up, pulled Wu Huanju, turned around and walked outside.

Geng Zhongming was frightened at this moment, he didn't know how to figure it out at all, and hurriedly waved his hand. Let his son Geng Jumao hurriedly stop Wu Kaijie and them.

"What, General Geng wants to keep us and give a gift to the Tartars?"

"How dare you, how dare you!" Geng Jumao said: "Vice Chief Wu, my father has said it, so we can make up our minds after we have negotiated the conditions clearly." ”

"Hahaha. Hahaha! Wu Kaijie suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Geng Zhongming, do you know no, you are rebelling, and you are doing something to destroy the nine clans." You can still talk about it, and you can bargain, just because of your insight and ability. Half of my head is gone. Wu doesn't dare to say that he is wise, but he won't talk about anything with a half-dead person like you! ”

"Let's go, let's go back to Henan!"

"Wait!" Geng Zhongming listened to Wu Kaijie's words, cold sweat broke out on his head, he took a few steps in front of Wu Kaijie and bowed deeply.

"Vice Chief Wu, wake up the dreamer with a word. Geng really thought wrongly, and asked Vice Minister Wu to give me a chance to remedy. ”

Wu Kaijie took a long breath, turned around and returned to his seat, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "General Geng, if I were you, I wouldn't be stupid and wait, but should immediately seize important land and hoard grain, grass and ordnance." Be prepared for war. Are you worried that the King of Zhongshan will turn his face ruthlessly and kill you, a traitor? I tell you, the more you worry, the more you have to fight the battle well, as long as you can hold Taiyuan and defeat the Tartars, then even if the King of Zhongshan wants to deal with you. Will the people of the world agree, does King Zhongshan still want to win more people's hearts? Taking a step back, even if you don't want to take refuge in An**, you still want to mix with Manchu. Can Dorgon look up to you for your skills? The weaker and more incompetent you are, the more you will be finished first, and if you don't have the strength, what leverage do you have to negotiate? ”

Geng Zhongming and Geng Jumao were like elementary school students, and they were scolded by Wu Kaijie, but the amazing thing is that the two of them were not only not angry, but also listened to it with relish and nodded incessantly.

"The second eldest is really smart, and the old man admires it to the extreme."

At this time, Fan Yongdou had already struggled to get up from the ground, and seeing Geng Zhongming's attitude towards Wu Kaijie, Fan Yongdou's heart was also a little hairy.

"King Huaishun, the villain just said, that poisonous wine is a misunderstanding, the regent is still reusing the prince as always, why do you surrender to the Ming court, so repeatedly, I'm afraid it's not a gentleman's doing!"

Fan Yongdou blurted out in a hurry, and Geng Zhongming's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Whether this king is a gentleman or not, don't bother Mr. Fan!"

Fan Yongdou also panicked, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the villain doesn't have any contempt, think about it, the villain sent you a million taels of silver, what did they send, by drumming their lips and tongues, they want you and your brothers to serve, this is too contemptible!" ”

Fan Yongdou's words also sound like there is some truth, Geng Zhongming and the two of them are in trouble again, this thing is neither left nor right, it really wants to die!

It's true that the reputation of capriciousness is too bad, or simply kill Wu Kaijie and them, and be loyal to the Manchus wholeheartedly! There are many ambushed generals on both sides, and with a wave of his hand, he can cut Wu Kaijie.

Geng Zhongming's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and then a hint of hesitation, intertwined back and forth, unable to make a decision.

"Vice Chief Wu, the old man dared to ask, I don't know if you can guarantee the safety of Geng's family, please give me a reassurance!"

Wu Kaijie smiled slightly: "General Geng, this official didn't come here this time to whisper, please surrender." It's not that I went to Willow Lane, Flower Street, and saw the top girl, and bargained with others. One million taels of silver, a lot of money, enough to cast several statues of red gold, right? I just want to ask General Geng, can this money be exchanged for a head? ”

Wu Kaijie's eyes were like two sharp blades, staring at Geng Zhongming, forcing him to lower his head. Geng Zhongming's heart was beating for a while, and he seemed to have a little idea.

Wu Kaijie is so tough, and his words are not polite, but at least he can see that An ** has the capital and confidence. But Dorgon, who is an official and a wish, seems to have asked for himself.

According to common reasoning, whoever needs himself more and who pays a higher price should follow him.

But when I turned my head and thought about it, this problem is not so simple, Ann ** is so strong, to put it bluntly, Ann** has enough confidence, but it is Dolgon, who is deficient, so he has to win himself over!

As for the poisoning matter, it doesn't matter anymore, right and wrong are in politics, it's useless, the hatred between him and the Manchurian nobles has been planted, don't think about solving it lightly, now it's pressed down, waiting for the peace, and it will also come out!

Geng Zhongming unconsciously touched his head, if he wants to save his life, he still has to follow the strong!

"Someone!"

With a shout, countless guards with knives rushed in and surrounded everyone.

Fan Yongdou suddenly laughed: "Lord Wang, for such a madman, you should be severely punished, don't worry, the regent will definitely not treat you badly!" ”

"Grab this noisy crow!"

Geng Zhongming's finger instantly pointed at Fan Yongdou, and before this guy could understand what was going on, he was rushed up by the surrounding soldiers and pressed to the ground.

Geng Zhongming bowed deeply at Wu Kaijie again, "Second elder, Geng Mou once made a big mistake, and now he only thinks about making up for one or two, and asks the second chief to give me a chance to atone for my sins!" ”

Seeing Geng Zhongming bow his head, Wu Kaijie also secretly put his heart down, in fact, he is not playing psychological tactics, he is far from being as calm as he seems, and his head can be mixed up at any time! But obviously Geng Zhongming is much less courageous than him.

Wu Huanju was sweating on the side, and couldn't help but give his cousin a thumbs up.

Wu Kaijie smiled slightly: "General Geng, you're welcome, there's something here, you can take it and take a look!" ”

As he spoke, he sent a copy of the fold and a few lists. Geng Zhongming and Geng Jumao hurriedly took it in their hands and looked at it carefully.

This memo was written to the imperial court in the name of Gu Zhenhua, hoping that the imperial court would pardon Geng Zhongming's sins and grant him the post of chief soldier, and Geng Jumao was the deputy general.

As for the list, there are many weapons, including 5,000 arquebuses, 100 artillery pieces, and 200,000 catties of explosives.

Geng Zhongming looked at it and was immediately puzzled: "Deputy Chief, isn't this exactly what Geng wanted, why didn't you take it out just now?" ”

"Hahaha, General Geng, I just took it out, do you still have this attitude?"

Geng Jumao also asked: "Vice Chief Wu, if you don't take it out, in case you ......?"

"In case death is at your hands, right? If I die, you promise to live and not die! Again, this official is not begging you to surrender, these are rewards for you anyway, not bargaining chips! ”

Geng Zhongming and Geng Jumao were completely convinced, Geng Zhongming said with emotion: "Vice Chief Wu is really bold, our father and son have served, but now we want to resist the Qing Dynasty, we still lack food and salary, I don't know ......"

"Food? Is there anyone in the world who can be richer than Jin Shang, and still hold a golden rice bowl to ask for food? ”
