Chapter 266: No Concessions
On the other hand, Yu Xiaotianhe's subordinates also showed that they were neither humble nor arrogant, without revealing a trace of flattery or clinging, everything seemed to be as it should be, and they didn't take these officials in their eyes at all.
And Lu Wenheng was not in a hurry to discuss the matter of appeasement with Yu Xiaotian, but after sitting down with Yu Xiaotian, he chatted casually, asking some things about the sea from time to time, and Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry at all, since Lu Wenheng was curious, he took some interesting stories at sea as talking points to Lu Wenheng.
Of course, Lu Wenheng was not without purpose, and during the chat, he mentioned some about the two battles of the Sea Wolf and the Dry Silk Man and the Red-Haired Man, in order to get some first-hand news from Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian didn't deliberately hide anything, and lightly told Lu Wenheng and the others about the two battles, as if this kind of thing was not a big deal at all.
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's brief introduction to these two battles, both Lu Wenheng and the subordinates he brought with him gasped in their hearts, and they all felt a burst of worry.
Although there have been a lot of rumors about these two wars in advance, these rumors are always not exhaustive, and there will inevitably be some exaggerations, but the situation of these two wars that has been said from Yu Xiaotian's mouth recently should undoubtedly be true, because Yu Xiaotian has no need to cover it up.
Moreover, Yu Xiaotian did not deliberately conceal the loss of the sea wolf, which increased the credibility of his words, and after listening to his words, no one expressed any doubts about these two wars.
Everyone has a feeling of pulling out the cold in their hearts, they used to have a little luck in their hearts, thinking that the sea wolf's combat power may not be as strong as rumored, but today they really learned that the sea wolf's sea combat power is really so powerful, now don't say that the Fujian sailors can't provoke them, even if they pull the sailors over there in Liangguang, including the sailors in Zhejiang, it is estimated that it is not enough for the sailors of the sea wolf to clean up.
In addition, just now they had all seen the performance of the Sea Wolf Infantry Army, which made Lu Wenheng and the others feel even more jealous, and unconsciously, their attitude was even lowered.
Lu Wenheng did not rush to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian and others that night, but set up a banquet in the camp to entertain Yu Xiaotian and his party, and Yu Xiaotian did not refuse, and pushed the cup and changed the lamp with Lu Wenheng and others during the banquet, but he was very rude, making people feel that he was indeed a rough person, and he was a very rough person.
Lu Wenheng is a little skeptical about this, on the one hand, he is a little disdainful of Xiaotian, but on the other hand, he still has a kind of suspicion, because Lu Wenheng has not paid attention to Xiaotian for a day or two, in the past few years, since Yu Xiaotian rose in the coastal area of Fuzhou, he has been concerned about the development of Yu Xiaotian.
And from the information he collected, he didn't think that Yu Xiaotian was such a rough person, from Yu Xiaotian to the present step by step in the past few years, almost undefeated, in every big battle, he showed his thoughtfulness, many opponents who were stronger than him were inexplicably planted in his hands, could such a person be a rough person?
But today, when the two parties sat down and started drinking, Lu Wenheng found that Yu Xiaotian did not seem to be very wise as the rumors said, but between words and actions, it seemed to be very vulgar, but invisibly, it still revealed a kind of toughness.
So even if Yu Xiaotian was rude, no one dared to express his dissatisfaction with him in person, and the officials who came to negotiate were still cautious about Yu Xiaotian and others.
However, although Yu Xiaotian and others are drinking with Lu Wenheng and others here, the vigilance around them has not relaxed a little, every dish and every pot of wine, before being sent to the wine table, there will be someone to check it with silver chopsticks, so as to prevent people from the government from poisoning Yu Xiaotian and them.
There is no way for the government to do this, so they can only let Yu Xiaotian's subordinates test these dishes and wines, after all, everyone knows that the two sides have not yet negotiated, and it can be said that it is understandable to beware of this kind of thing.
As for secretly taking down Yu Xiaotian, it's not that no one has thought about it, and even Lu Wenheng has thought about it, because this matter is too tempting, everyone knows that Yu Xiaotian is the soul of the sea wolf, if he can take it down Xiaotian, then even if he can't destroy the sea wolf, but it won't be long before there will be internal strife for power and profit within the sea wolf, and sooner or later it will fall apart.
Therefore, although Lu Wenheng was ordered to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian this time, he still couldn't help but want to fight this idea.
For this reason, he even made some arrangements in advance, so that his subordinates could prepare, and if there was a chance, he would act according to his eyes, and it would be best to be able to catch Xiaotian and his party in one go.
But today, after he saw the two companies of the sea wolf infantry army brought by Yu Xiaotian, he immediately dispelled this idea, because even if he was not a member of the army, he could see that these sea wolf troops brought by Yu Xiaotian were definitely a group of tiger and wolf divisions.
And with Yu Xiaotian's side, these dozens of servants, all of them are masters, once he wants to take down Yu Xiaotian, he really doesn't have enough confidence to take down Xiaotian and the others on the spot, as long as Yu Xiaotian gets a little time, then those sea wolf tribes he brought will be able to kill them immediately.
Compared with these tiger and wolf soldiers of the sea wolf, the more than 2,000 Fubiao officers and soldiers he brought from Fuzhou are simply a rabble, once they start, it is not possible to figure out that these officers and soldiers are really not the opponents of these more than 500 sea wolf troops, let alone take Yu Xiaotian at that time, even if it is himself, he does not dare to guarantee whether he can escape from here.
If he starts to do it, not only will he not be able to take Yu Xiaotian, but he will be taken by Yu Xiaotian, not to mention that this is a big joke, it is estimated that his little life will be lost here.
Yu Xiaotian, who was embarrassed and angry, was a thief, and there were not 100,000 people killed by his subordinates over the years, at least tens of thousands, even if he was the prefect of Fuzhou, but once he provoked Yu Xiaotian, killing him was no different from killing chickens.
What's more serious is that once you can't take Yu Xiaotian's words, things will develop to the point of no return, and then don't think about it, in less than two days, Yu Xiaotian's fleet will enter the mouth of the Min River, and go straight to Fuzhou City, which can instantly turn Fuzhou City into a mountain of corpses and a sea of fire! In that case, even if he Lu Wenheng died, he would bring the whole of Fujian to the ditch!
Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian came, Lu Wenheng completely dispelled this idea in his heart, and before the banquet began, he went down to strictly instruct these generals who led the team to come, so that they should not move without permission, let alone have any conflicts with the sea wolf tribes.
And after those generals saw the fierceness of the sea wolf tribe today, they were all a little hairy in their hearts, and after confirming some rumors among their colleagues recently, these officers and soldiers they consciously brought were not the opponents of these sea wolf tribes armed to the teeth at all, so it was Lu Wenheng who didn't let them move, even if Lu Wenheng wanted them to forcibly take down Yu Xiaotian, it is estimated that they would have to weigh whether they had that kind of ability first.
So the two sides can be said to have broken up happily that night, and neither of them deliberately provoked, until both sides had almost drunk before the banquet was dispersed.
Early the next morning, the two parties came to the pre-arranged tent as promised and began formal negotiations.
But once the negotiations began, the two sides no longer had the same harmonious atmosphere as when they met yesterday, and as one thing after another was raised, the two sides suddenly began to be tense.
Lu Wenheng directly proposed that Yu Xiaotian immediately and unconditionally surrender to the government, accept the government's recruitment, and immediately return the coastal areas they currently occupy, especially the area around Weitouwan that they currently control, to the government, and all the sea wolf tribes and their ships should lay down their arms on the spot and accept the reorganization and resettlement of the government.
As for the Fujian authorities, they can guarantee the safety of the sea wolf tribe and make so-called proper arrangements for them.
After listening to Lu Wenheng's request, Yu Xiaotian sneered and said, "I'm afraid Lord Lu is wrong with this, Yu Mou didn't want to hear these words when he came here today!"
Let's not talk about whether these demands put forward by Lord Lu are reasonable or not, let's just say that this Weitouwan, so far, as far as Yu knows, it seems that it should be under the control of the government!
Whether it is the Kinmen Thousand Households Office, the Zhongzuo Office, or even the Gaopu Office, at present, the officials have appointed officials or officials and soldiers to garrison them, so how can they talk about returning them?
In addition, Lord Lu should not forget, this time it was my sea wolf who won, it was not your Fujian official army who won, it seems that my sea wolf is the winner, this time Zhao'an, it was not our proposal, how to say these words from the mouth of Lord Lu, I Yu listened, as if it was me Yu Yu begging Lord Lu to ask for Zhao'an?
If that's the case, then let's not talk about it, let's meet this time, just to chat, as for the rest, there is no need to say anything! ”
When Lu Wenheng heard this, he was immediately choked to death, after all, he represents the court and the official, what he said just now is also necessary, you can't come up and say, I can give you any official, you accept Zhao'an, and you can do whatever you want in the future.
So what he said just now was just some scene words, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaotian to eat him at all, and directly choked him enough.
But how dare he tear his face now! The purpose of his coming this time is to find a way to recruit this guy, once the talks collapse, then the next thing will be unimaginable, the sea wolf's gunboat is just outside the mouth of the Min River, and it can break into the Min River at any time and reach the city of Fuzhou.
Once the sea wolf's gunboat arrives at Fuzhou City and fires a few cannons at Fuzhou City, then he, the prefect of Fuzhou, will not be able to eat and go around.
(I don't dare to be careless today, check it out first and then update!) The provincial system has problems again! Yesterday, the conscience of heaven and earth was not my fault, everyone bear with me! )
