386 negotiations

The whole army withdrew to the starting position, and the soldiers could eat and rest, but the officers had to continue to be busy - they had to count the results of the battle and the casualties. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

Officers at all levels are more concerned about casualties than with the results achieved. After counting the ratio of the day's battle to casualties, Ozhayan quickly came up with a set of numbers jù - he always advocated using the number jù to speak:

"Of the four hundred and fifty-six men who went into battle, seventeen were killed and fifty-three wounded, of whom nineteen were seriously wounded...... With a casualty rate of about 15 percent, a full squad of troops was lost. ”

-- Compared with the ease with which the enemy was almost destroyed in the previous battles, the losses of the troops this time were a bit large. Especially in just a few minutes when the rebels rushed to their bows and arrows and firearms, and the two sides formed a situation of firing against each other, the casualties of the soldiers in the front row suddenly increased greatly, and even the two of them were colored, fortunately, the armor on their bodies was thick, the vital parts were all steel plate armor helmets, and the non-vital arms and other places were also covered by leather, and the injuries were not serious.

When they rushed into the enemy's line to fight with white knives, because most of the enemy troops had been blown down by grenades, the remaining few people were also confused, and they didn't even know how to dodge the bayonet stabbed in front of them, but there were no major casualties, only in the final stage, an extraordinary guy suddenly appeared, a big gun stabbed three or five infantry who rushed up to bayonet one after another, and the martial arts were really extraordinary, and then Liao Yong stepped forward to attack him, so that the soldiers behind him could free up their hands to shoot together, and killed them with a volley of guns -- the two brocade guards also sighed for this, it's a pity to say that such a good hand is killed directly.

But in private, later Liao Yong sighed when he was drinking and chatting with Zhao Yi and a few of them, saying that that guy was extremely exquisite with a Shandong spear, not to mention that he had worked hard for twenty or thirty years, if the two sides competed fairly, he and he were only between the two sides, and his status in the rebels must not be low. But I didn't expect to be killed like a dog by a group of small soldiers who had only been in the army for two or three years on this firearms battlefield, and I didn't have a chance to play my art at all - this is still a lucky person who can survive the final white-knuckle battle, and I don't know how many such elite generals are in this battle today, and they died of humiliation without even taking advantage of the opportunity to get close.

"Times have changed...... I'm afraid there will be no use for us people in the future."

Liao Yong was very drunk that day, and after waking up, he didn't mention his most proud Tai Chi kung fu, but painstakingly studied the musket, even if the short-haired new rifle could not be borrowed for a while, he also found a few captured Lumi guns and bird guns, and practiced first......

Returning to the side of the Qiong Navy, although the casualties in this battle were not small by their standards, they were nothing compared to the huge damage they inflicted on the rebels. Moreover, everyone felt that this kind of training in the face of the enemy was extremely necessary -- no matter how hard the training was in peacetime, only a unit that had really fought to the death with the enemy face to face on the battlefield and had seen blood could be regarded as formed.

It's just that that night, Xie Xi came to the tent where the bodies of the victims were temporarily placed and stayed for a long time, holding a few sticks of incense in his hands, as if he was here to pay tribute to the deceased, but he stood next to a corpse for a long time, and even the incense burned out until his fingers did not respond. It happened that Pang Yu was passing by here, and when he saw that his expression was wrong, he asked him what had happened, and Xie Xi smiled slightly bitterly:

"Nothing, just a little scared - this young man was right next to me during the day, and if the archer had changed his aim, maybe I would have been lying here."

Pang Yu looked at him and shook his head:

"No, your armor is much better than theirs, with a few injuries at most."

Xie Xi shook his head and didn't speak—the young man was killed by an arrow in the eye socket, and if he changed himself, no matter how good the armor and steel helmet were, it might not be effective. However, he didn't continue to talk to Pang Yu about this matter again, just lit a few more incense sticks, bowed a few times, and then turned around and left. After that, he spoke and behaved the same as before.

Wei Aiwen's bravery in this battle was highly praised by all the commanders, although in Pang Yu's eyes, Xiao Wei seemed to be a little too impulsive, but Beiwei thought that his hard work was worthy of recognition. It was made clear that in the process of expanding the troops, Xiao Wei could take on more important responsibilities, which successfully aroused the competitive psychology of several other young people, and the morale of each company also soared. Everyone was guarding the position, but they were all staring at the other side of Huangxian, thinking about when the rebels would attack again? so that they can be given new opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

But their eagerness soon became disappointing—I wonder if the rebels were frightened or had not yet regrouped, and for a whole day there was silence in the south-west, and not a single ghost appeared.

The next day, a small team finally came from the Huangxian side, but the flag of "do not attack" was waved from afar - someone held high a large white flag marked "Hit soy sauce" for a long time before carefully pushing a few flatbed trucks towards the position - God knows how they found out about the magic of the soy sauce flag.

“…… Interestingly, even the soy sauce flag knows it, so it must have seriously investigated our deeds. ”

Xie Xi held the binoculars and said with a smile, thinking about it, he might have underestimated the enemy before, but now he has been beaten into that miserable situation, if he doesn't make great efforts to investigate the basic situation of the opponent, then this group of rebels is too wasteful.

"Such a little person, and also pushed a cart...... What do you want to do? Explosives in the car? ”

Wu Ji, who is more sensitive to explosives, said vigilantly, but the judgment of Pang Yu Ao Sayan and others in Beiwei is quite consistent:

"Wu can't beat it, of course I have to play with the text - most of them are here to negotiate and want to buy a way to live."

It's easy to understand. The 2,000 Qiong navy seemed to be just an inconspicuous stumbling block, but it blocked the rebels' way north, and even more tragically, when the other side tried to break through by force, they found that the lethality of the 2,000 men was even much greater than that of the Shandong marching army, including the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Considering that this eccentric short-haired army was also born as a thief back then, and it was once listed as a headache for the Ming Dynasty with the Shandong rebels, it is not surprising that the "Four Great Kou" will send people over to negotiate and negotiate.

Sure enough, when the large convoy approached, perhaps to avoid misunderstanding, or perhaps with other plans, the escorts of the convoy took the initiative to lift the tarpaulin on the car. It was noon, and I suddenly saw a car full of jewels - indeed they were all gold and jewels, and the glittering gold was very attractive.

But the Qiong Navy still did not allow the carts to enter the position, dismissed, Pang Yu and Ao Sayan came forward to negotiate, Wei Aiwen and Hu Kai brought a whole platoon of troops as an escort. Although Beiwei did not come forward, he was also hiding in the shadows with a sniper rifle and watching.

When a little old man on the opposite side came out to negotiate, he was first taken aback - several people in front of him were all murderous, and the group was fully armed, and the helmet, breastplate and leather shields were all on their bodies, not to mention that muskets were all pointed at the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally - they didn't care about face, thinking of the unlucky ghost who was fatally shot in the eye by an arrow the day before yesterday, they all wanted to wrap their whole bodies in iron armor, God knows how many such masters there are in the Shandong army

Pang Yu Xie Xi Ao Sayan and the three of them were even more dragged to each wear a pair of sunglasses to appear, their idea was not to let the other party see their eyes clearly, but in the eyes of the old man opposite, these three guys were not trivial - they could see their every move even though they covered their eyes, and this southern short-haired man really had a secret method

The two sides began to negotiate, and the situation was similar to what Pang Yu and others expected, the old man first proposed to surrender at the beginning, and the Shandong rebels shouted surrender not once or twice. And they always like to shout surrender when they have the advantage - they shouted once when they attacked Dengzhou Mansion, and Sun Yuanhua carelessly let people deceive Fucheng; Later, when Huang County was captured, he shouted again, and Huang County was lost; The third time was when defending the Laizhou Mansion, and this time the Laizhou Governor was a little smarter, and instead of opening the city to accept the surrender, he hung himself from the city wall and surrendered - as a result, he only lost his own life, but the city was not lost.

After playing so many times, the credibility of the Shandong rebels has long been gone, so when Xie Xi heard the word "down", he didn't want to refuse in person:

"We only care about quelling the rebellion, regardless of surrender, you have to surrender and go to the camp in Shandong. The new governor of Shandong, as well as the prison army sent by the Son of Heaven, were all there, and only they could decide whether to surrender or not. ”

The old man's face froze, and he wanted to say something, but Xie Xi had already waved his hand:

"You should know best what you've done before. If we can't win on the battlefield, do we still expect this kind of tactic to succeed? ”

The old man looked helpless, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to plead, but finally he only sighed and changed the subject—he really proposed to buy a road with gold and jewels, so that the remnants of the rebels could escape to the northeast.

"What's the matter, you still want us to return the Dengzhou Mansion to you?"

Xie Xi sneered, and the old man hurriedly shook his head:

"In front of all the heroes, how dare you make such delusions, just want to go to the sea, see if you can find a ferry, and ask for a way to live."

"Want to cross the sea to cast a tartar? Not to mention that your fleet has also been served in Dengzhou Mansion, even if you still have ships, do you think you can escape our naval blockade? ”

In front of the rebels, the attitude of the dismissal table is extremely arrogant and arrogant - there is no need to be polite to this group of scumbags. That old man is really a bully who is afraid of the hard, and the more he is here, the more his head hangs down:

"As long as the heroes can spare us a way to live, except for these things......" he pointed back to the carts, "all the savings of our army since the uprising: treasures, grain, livestock, cattle and horses, and women and women, I am willing to give them all."

Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, he didn't expect this group of rebels to be so decisive, and Xie Xi was slightly stunned. The old man thought there was a play, and hurriedly stepped forward, but was immediately held by Hu Kai with a gun and had to retreat to his original position.

"If you heroes allow us, we will come tomorrow with our whole army. I only ask you to spare more than 10,000 people in the front army, and you can rob the heavy grain and grass transported by the auxiliary soldiers in the back, as well as the goods and goods, so that there can be 10,000 heads to repay the merit - so that all the heroes can be explained to the court side as much as possible. ”

Listening to the other party's tongue and lotus, Xie Xi finally couldn't help but take off his sunglasses, and stared at the old man with his eyes like lightning:

"That's all? All said and done? ”

Seeing that the old man nodded stunned, Xie Xi waved his hand:

"Then you can go back, we refuse."

"This ......," the old man's face turned pale, "if you heroes have any other requirements, you can say them, as long as we can do it, we will do our best to flatter." ”

"Request?"

Xie Xi sneered:

"It's very simple—when we left Dengzhou, we promised the local folks that we would seek justice for them. What is like Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu, Li Yingyuan...... All these people will be escorted back to the city, and those who have been maimed by you will decide for themselves what to do with you...... If you can't live, you can die-Geng Zhongming is already in place, and the others don't think it will be long. ”

As soon as Xie Xi said this, the other side immediately knew that he couldn't talk about it, and the old man still wanted to support me, but a middle-aged man who looked like a general next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily:

"You are waiting for Hugh to deceive people too much, and you yourself are just a group of bandits in Qiongzhou, but you have just accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and you are just a knife in the hands of the official, so you are here to be a hero."

As he spoke, he turned around and kicked a flatbed truck behind him. In these years, most of China's vehicles were two-wheeled, and the balance was very poor, and they were kicked by the man and suddenly overturned, and there was a loud bang, and all the gold and silver treasures in the car were dumped to the ground, shining in the sun, dazzling people's eyes.

"There is a saying that you are an official for thousands of miles just for money, and you have come all the way from the south to work for the imperial court, isn't it just for the merits and rewards of the official family? There are only four carts here, and there are dozens or hundreds of carts of military rations, mules, and horses, all of which are given to you -- I just want to let us live and all belong to you."

He didn't say this to Xie Xi, but shouted at the whole position -- whether it was a mutinous and rebellious army, or a bandit who occupied the mountain, the order class had long been chaotic, and most of those who could serve as soldiers relied on the support of a group of private teams to maintain their status. However, this support has always been mutual, and the subordinates are working hard to keep their superiors, and the superiors must of course try their best to seek benefits for their subordinates - and most people are always short-sighted, and it is impossible for them not to be tempted by so much real money thrown in front of them. And if many soldiers below clamour, even as a senior official, they would have to submit to their "public opinion".

-- This man obviously regarded the Qiong Navy as a rabble like himself, and the "ideological work" was actually directly aimed at the whole army of Shorthair, and his brain was very flexible.

It's a pity that he completely found the wrong person - Xie Xi sneered, didn't care about the gold and silver scattered, and even took a step back so that everyone could see it. And waited for a moment, about to think about how to speak. After that, the dismissal turned around and faced the rear position:

“…… All the officers and men of the Navy"

He pointed to the middle-aged man who thought he was smart, and shouted:

"This man said that we came to get a reward from the court, and that we were the same as him—do you admit it? Is that so? ”

"It's not"

Pang Yu, Ao Sayan, Wei Aiwen and others, who were already aware of the intention to relieve the seat, immediately cooperated, and even Hu Kai, who was not very flexible, immediately raised his hand and shouted after being quietly pulled, and then led the surrounding soldiers to shout in unison.

"He said that we are also rebels, but have we ever harmed civilians on Hainan Island? Have we ever robbed the common people of even a grain of rice or a piece of cloth? Do you have? ”

"No, no, no"

There was another wild shout below, and the momentum was even greater, only Pang Yu and Ao Sayan glanced at each other, and there was a hint of laughter on the corners of their mouths.

You must know that Tang Jian and Wang Haiyang, the two founders of the Qiong Navy, were fundamentally born out of the Chinese People's Liberation Army for the construction policy of the Qiong Navy, and even if it is impossible to be completely similar, they try to imitate it. The core of this is that this army must have a soul.

Although it is inconvenient to make too much propaganda on the general righteousness of the nation-state because the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty is still there, at least the concept of "the duty of a soldier is to protect the common people" has been deeply instilled. Since its establishment, the Qiongzhou Army has carried out a series of military operations, including the extermination of sea bandits, the crackdown on Western forces, and the coming to Shandong to quell the rebellion, all of which have followed this criterion. Therefore, the Qiongzhou army has always been convinced of its own "justice" attributes, and the banner of "walking for the heavens" on the pier of Qiongzhou Mansion has never been taken down even after Zhao'an, and has always been flying high over there -- this is exactly what Tang Jian and the others hope for, the soul of an army.

Xie Xi heard the reaction of the sergeants laughing, and suddenly he also flew up and kicked the pile of gold beads into the air:

"Now, these people want to buy us with the gold and silver that they have stolen from the common people, stained with the blood and tears of the Shandong fathers, so that we can let them escape - brothers, can we do this? Can? ”

"Can't, can't, can't"

This time, everyone in the entire position shouted in unison, and more than 2,000 men roared together, which suddenly shook the earth, and even the Huangshui River in the rear seemed to be stagnant for a while.

For a time, the Xuanhuang was silent, the sound shook all over the wilderness, and the sound waves rolled and spread out like thunder, and there was no other sound between heaven and earth except for this heroic righteousness.

Looking at the other party's earth-colored group, Xie Xi sneered and raised his hand:

"Roll"
