Chapter 221: Secret Discussion
Indemnity for land cession?
Hu Jie reacted slightly, after all, this word is somewhat ahead of the times, the Ming Dynasty pays attention to not seeking peace, not cutting the land, not paying compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji, although the armament is relaxed in the later period, but until the end of Chongzhen, at least the surface is still good, not as bold as the later 'I Daqing'.
However, the meaning of this word is almost the same, Hu Jie is coarse and can understand how much, an old face suddenly collapsed, but he couldn't help but answer, so he had no choice but to ask: "I don't know how Song Qianhu wants to cut the land and pay compensation?" ”
Song Qing immediately shouted outward, and after a while, Zhao Manxiong came in with a piece of paper full of words, and handed it to Hu Jie with a smile, Hu Jie took it and looked at it a few times, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Lord Song's condition really cost me Hu's life." ”
Indeed, Song Qing's conditions are very harsh, let alone Hu Jie, even if Yang Fang comes to sign it himself, he will not be able to end up well after he goes back.
First of all, the indemnity, which has risen from the original 100,000 to 150,000 taels, this silver is naturally shared equally by the Wei Institute, and every family will have to pay a lot of money at that time, and naturally hate Hu Jie who signed this clause, and his reputation will basically be ruined here.
Then it is to cut the land, Xuzhou to Pizhou is almost 160 miles, before the place is divided equally on both sides, all kinds of caravans pass through here, the guard will come to set up a card to collect money, to put it bluntly, it is the protection fee, if you don't pay the money, no one cares if you meet bandits on the road, in fact, no one cares after paying the money. Xuzhou Wei occasionally suppresses bandits, Pizhou Wei rarely comes out to do activities, but if you don't hand it over, the bandits are guaranteed to find you, and they are all bandits in the system, and they can be conjured up by taking off their official clothes and masks.
As for collecting more and collecting less, it depends on the mood of each family and what their conscience is, and now Song Qing will go half of the hundred miles in Pizhou in one go, which can be described as a lion's mouth. If you agree to this kind of thing. It's more serious than a reparation, after all, it's a settlement, and it's a long-term loss.
With such harsh conditions, of course Hu Jie didn't want to agree. But if you refuse directly. I was afraid that Song Qing would get angry. He had experienced yesterday's fiasco, and he knew too well how powerful this person was in front of him, and now he looked at it with a smile. God knows that once he doesn't agree, people will suddenly turn their faces, you have to know that this is a dog camp, and he really killed himself with a knife, so there is no place to shout grievances, and don't expect people to bear any responsibility, because Yang Fang can't ask for it, and it is estimated that he will not help him collect the body.
Song Qing has also been observing Hu Jie, and seeing that this person showed a look of suspicion, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, and said slowly: "But if Pizhou Wei can maintain friendship with my dog camp, these conditions are not impossible to negotiate, after all, everyone is a neighbor, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff, what does Lord Hu think?" ”
"Exactly, Lord Song is right, everyone is a neighbor, and it's better to value harmony!" Although I don't know what Song Qing means, and even suspect that there is some conspiracy here, Hu Jie still said along the way, after all, this is a good thing, he is here to talk about peace, and even the old friends of the people of Xuzhou have done it, is it not enough to talk about nostalgia? Besides, now that people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, and it is always a good thing to talk about nostalgia, which is much better than talking about fighting and killing.
It's just that Hu Jie is also trembling in his heart, Song Qing is too whimsical to speak, and behind the warm words, there is often a knife in Xueliang, when he just came in, the other party was not talking about these, explaining the bilateral relationship one by one, it seems that the two sides are brothers wearing a pair of pants, this time they are not here to negotiate at all, but to come to the relatives' house to drink tea and chat, but how much work has passed, Song Qing has come up with a terrible clause that almost cuts off the lifeline of Pizhou Wei.
Sure enough, after Song Qing chatted a few words about his hometown, he changed his words again and said with a smile: "It's just that now Pizhou Wei has traitors and beggars his neighbors, which greatly damages the friendship between Pizhou Wei and Xuzhou Wei, and even damages the nostalgia of the people of Pizhou and Xuzhou, what should we do about this kind of person?" ”
"This ......" Hu Jie knew very well that Song Qing was talking about Yang Fang, but this topic went around and around, Yang Fang was the commander of Pizhou Wei, and the topic was basically over when it came to him, could it be that what could he do?
But thinking about it, a very strange thought suddenly flashed in Hu Jie's mind, this thought he himself couldn't be completely sure, but he always felt that he had caught something in his heart, and subconsciously asked: "Lord Song's words, Hu still doesn't understand much, I don't know if I can say it in more detail?" ”
"Didn't I go into enough detail?" Song Qing secretly slandered himself in his heart, and he didn't know if this Hu Jie really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, so he had to say it himself, but the contradiction between him and Yang Fang had already been made public, so he was not taboo, and said directly: "To put it simply, I don't think Yang Fang is pleasing to the eye, if your ministry can change to a chief, for example, Lord Hu, then the conditions I mentioned before can naturally be halved, and we will have a lot of business partnerships in the future, so that both sides can make money." ”
Hearing this, Hu Jie's eyelids jumped lightly at first, but then he smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "Presumably Hu and his Yang Fang's affairs, Lord Song has also heard about it, this trip is designed by Yang Fang to frame me, to ruin my reputation Hu someone, but what Lord Song said is too evil, this position of commander, Hu naturally wanted, and he fought hard back then, but in the end he was defeated, and now this Yang Fang is in the prime of life, a few years younger than me, counting on him to step down, I have already confessed, I have this life in my life, It's already broken off the thought, Lord Song doesn't want to mention it again, Hu Mou should come down to everything, and it's a big deal to be idle in the guard in the future, and it can be regarded as free. ”
"It's true that you are in the prime of life, but people always have three disasters and six difficulties, in case one day Commander Yang suddenly encounters an accident, this Pizhou Wei will still have someone to take care of it, but I don't know if Lu Dao will be able to take over smoothly at that time, or how sure is it?"
Hu Jie's face instantly turned pale, a little incredulous. Even looked at Song Qing with some fear, he really couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him was so bold, in front of him, the commander of Pizhou Wei, talking about the matter of killing the commander of Pizhou Wei, even if Song Qing knew that he Hu and Yang Fang were not in harmony, but this was too straightforward, he now somewhat regretted letting Song Qing say it so bluntly, but deep down in his heart, he had some expectations for this matter.
Moments later, long-suppressed resentment. and a strong desire for the position of commander and envoy. Finally defeated the little reason he had left, Hu Jie's face turned from white to red, his breathing became a little short, and he gritted his teeth fiercely. As if he had finally made up his mind, he asked: "Hu is also a little powerful in Pizhouwei. If you don't count Yang Fang. It should still be the biggest share, if there is such a day, Hu Mou asked himself at least eighty percent sure. It's just that I don't know if Lord Song can do anything? ”
"Of course, there are ways to do something, and there are so many that what my brothers have done in the past ten days can't be explained?" Song Qing smiled very confidently, and said to Hu Jie, who looked even more excited: "Besides, we were all black-eyed before, but now that we have Lord Hu as the internal response, if we want to secretly kill someone, it is not an easy thing, and he Yang Fang is not a fierce general with outstanding martial arts, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can be killed with one blow, it just depends on whether Lord Hu has the courage!" ”
"Although Hu is not confused when he is young, his courage has not subsided!" Speaking of which, Hu Jie no longer concealed his ambitions, and his originally evasive gaze became bright, and even had some aggressive momentum, and he said impatiently to Song Qing: "I don't know when Lord Song will be able to do it?" ”
"I have to wait for a while, now I just fought with Pizhou Wei, at this time, if Commander Yang is dead, everyone knows that Commander Yang is my hand, even if there is no direct evidence, but some things are not evidence, I heard that Commander Yang has a big man as a backer in Nanjing, if the big man wants to avenge him, my thin arms and thin legs can not withstand it, so I also need Lord Hu to be patient for the time being, and by the way, I also need to cultivate more strength for myself, so as not to run out of manpower in the end."
"And how will this negotiation be handled?" Hu Jie also knew that he was in a hurry to do this, so he acquiesced in Song Qing's opinion, and turned back to the content of the negotiation, and said: "Lord Song's condition is too much, if Hu Mou agrees to come down, let alone cultivate the power when he goes back, it is uncertain whether those brothers can stay, so I hope that Lord Song can reduce some of it, so that Hu can explain to the brothers after he goes back, so that he can fight against Yang Fang in this way." ”
"You can rest assured about this, the conditions can naturally be discussed, as I said before, the conditions can be halved, and even the land can be delayed for the time being, but only you and I know this aspect, and the terms have to be signed separately." Song Qing said, and found a new clause, all after the halving, the payment directly said Pizhou Wei commander, the blank space is for Hu Jie to sign, after a brief introduction, said: "The land can be temporarily dragged first, the 75,000 taels of silver, I want it immediately, at most not more than tomorrow at this time, I can also send someone over to help publicize, saying that this is all the credit of your Lord Hu, let the brothers of Pizhou Wei remember your good." ”
"Then, thank you Lord Song." Hu Jie smiled awkwardly, but he was somewhat ambitious in his heart, he was not yet forty years old, and he also hoped to go further, plus Yang Fang had never been on good terms with him, and he might stab him in the back at some point, now that he has this kind of opportunity, of course he will not be merciful, anyway, he and Yang Fang have no friendship at all, but they are all enemies, and they will only applaud the assassination of this person, not to mention that they can take a step higher, so naturally they will not refuse.
After signing the terms, Hu Jie also knew that this was completely tied to Song Qing, thinking about all the speculations and even horrors before, and then looking at the current kind of cooperation that seems to be very unbelievable, but it is particularly reasonable, it is also funny for no reason, yesterday was still fighting life and death, and today he will partner to deal with Yang Fang, the things in this world are really uncertain, he has things in his heart, and he doesn't want to continue to stay here, so he politely refused Song Qing to stay for dinner, but asked a few dog camp sergeants who can speak well, and return to Pizhou with him.
Song Qing also attaches great importance to this, he is afraid that Hu Jie and Yang Fang will not be stiff, only if Hu Jie completely falls out with Yang Fang, can he fall to his side without reservation, so he simply sent Zhao Manxiong over, although Zhao General said that he was not bold, but he also knew that there would be no danger in this trip, even if Yang Fang hated it and dared to go to Hu Jie for trouble, but he would never dare to deal with him, because as long as he injured a hair of Zhao someone, Song Qing directly dared to send troops to attack Pizhou Wei, which is where his confidence lies.
In addition, he is also very interested in the business situation in Pizhou, according to Song Qing's previous plan, Pizhou will be incorporated into the scope of the dog camp in the future, and he will also have to do business at the initial stage, so he, the big housekeeper in the financial aspect, naturally has to carefully investigate to see what kind of business can make money.
Sending the group out of the camp, Song Qing turned back alone, and happened to meet Ding Kui with a chicken leg in his mouth, and said with a blank look: "Lao Tzu is negotiating under the big sun, you are idle, and the golden bottle is finished?" How many times have I told you that when you read a book, you have to read the words, not just look at the embroidered images! ”
"I'm not a golden plum!" Ding Kui suddenly jumped to his feet, his thick beard trembled, but he also knew that he had no problem with Song Qing's lazy thing, so he had to ask, "What do you want to do next?" Continue to clean up Pizhou Wei? If people really bow their heads and give soft money, it will not be easy to find fault, right? ”
"The matter of Pizhou Wei will be stopped for the time being, take the money and leave, and talk about it when the time is ripe for a while." Song Qing's eyes had already turned to the direction of Xuzhou, and he sneered: "The next thing to do is to get rid of the Zhou family first, his family is too close to us, and if it doesn't fall completely, I won't be able to live in peace for a day!" ”
Ding Kui was a little puzzled: "Isn't the Zhou family already beaten like that by you, what other threat can there be?" ”
"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!" Song Qing did not hesitate to steal the poetry of celebrities, seeing Ding Kui's face full of surprise, as if he had seen a monster, he couldn't help but smile proudly, and said: "The Zhou family has been operating in Xuzhou for four generations, it can be said that the tree has big roots and deep roots, if you don't take advantage of this time to completely eradicate it, and wait until he recovers, then it will be time to deal with me, maybe he will join forces with Yang Fang, and at that time I will be even more difficult to deal with, this kind of thing either don't do it, do it to the end, and completely dig up the roots of the Zhou family!" ”
Ding Kui didn't speak again, on the one hand, he mourned silently for the Zhou family, on the other hand, he felt that Song Qing's two poems just now were very good, and he must continue to strengthen his study, otherwise not only could he not compare with him in martial arts, but he would also be left behind in terms of culture.
