11-34 Inducement
Huo Lingyao is a very interesting person, deliberately pretending to be deep and sophisticated, but occasionally some small movements still betray her deeply, this so-called back of the boots and the scimitar on her waist; The leader is actually just a young girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.
This time I came to Chang'an to meet with Liu Ziguang, Huo Lingyao brought a hundred fierce cavalry, at the beginning, the people who returned to the ministry were very arrogant, and asked for a formal meeting, and military and political officials from both sides were present, but Liu Ziguang refused to talk, and they could talk quietly in private, and only Princess Xiangxiang could attend alone, and the people who returned to the ministry were annoyed at that time, and they were about to make trouble when they pulled out their knives, and were appeased by Princess Xiangxiang's kind words, and resolutely agreed to the slightly "excessive" request of the general of Zhengxi.
Some things have been discussed before, including the Red Shirts providing shelter to the remnants of the Hui armed forces, the two armies will cooperate to fight, support, some armor, knives, guns, arrows and other things, but there are serious differences in the distribution of benefits after the war.
Princess Xiangxiang inherited her father's will, to establish a big Hui country, and the Ming Dynasty can become a brother state, every year to pay tribute, every year to the dynasty is okay, but the Ming Dynasty must not be stationed in the Hetao area, and must not interfere in the internal affairs of the Hui Department, of course Liu Ziguang will not agree to such an unreasonable request, his plan is only one, that is, to completely attach to the Ming court, send officials, garrison troops, and this is an absolutely uncompromising condition.
When things came to this, it entered an impasse, and it happened that Dong Xiaowan came to stir up the situation, so it was temporarily interrupted, and then it entered into formal negotiations.
Huo Lingyao said: "If the Ming Dynasty is allowed to send officials and garrison troops, what is the difference between it and being ruled by the Tanguts?" Isn't it just to fight for independence and freedom just to fight for independence and freedom for our sons and daughters of the Hui Ministry, and the general's demands are too much, and we can't agree and won't agree. ”
Liu Ziguang looked at the bulging Princess Xiangxiang and sneered: "Of course, there is a difference, the rule of the Tangut people is extremely brutal, they are desperate to fight everywhere, and your people have become their cheap cannon fodder, and the Mongolian nobles have the right to the first night of the women of your tribe, so it will not take long for the Hui Department to be destroyed, and we will never implement those tyranny in the Heavenly Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire will not only not forcibly conscript your people as soldiers, but also send troops to protect you, the silk, porcelain, cloth, machinery, and tools of the Central Plains will also be sent from afar, the price is cheap and sufficient, you no longer have to work hard to cross the Great Wall in exchange for these goods, and from then on live a happy and happy life, and what you have lost is only the so-called independence, isn't this bad? ? ”
Huo Lingyao said: "Since ancient times, the Han people and foreign races have not lived in peace, our Hui tribe will never be willing to be ruled by anyone, so let's take a step back, bow down to the Ming Dynasty, and provide 10,000 Sanhe horses and furs, iron ore and other things every year, the Ming Dynasty can station a minister of Huijiang, but the garrison is absolutely impossible." ”
Liu Ziguang scoffed: "10,000 Three Hippos, do you care about the Celestial Empire, tell you honestly, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of the past, even the national strength of the Han and Tang dynasties is difficult to compare with the current strong situation of my Celestial Empire, the Hetao region has been the sacred territory of our Han people since ancient times, you Hui is only a later migration, which is equivalent to saying that we are the landlord, you are the tenant, and now the landlord wants to fence the house, do you still have to ask for your consent?" Whether you want it or not, this place is going to be decided! ”
Huo Lingyao hurriedly said: "General, what kind of logic are you, our Hui people have been breeding and breeding in the Hetao area for generations, planting farms, grazing cattle and sheep, how can you say that you are the landlord?" Besides, now the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as the general said, such a behemoth as the Western Xia Empire is eyeing the west, and you haven't even recovered Jiayu Pass, how dare you mention that it can be compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties, now Ningxia Huijiang has been occupied by 100,000 Xixia troops, every day and every night, my compatriots are slaughtered and humiliated, I can't bear it, they suffer like this torture again, in order to drive away these robbers as soon as possible, they deigned to come to talk to you, do you really think that without your help, the Huibu Jian'er will not be able to recover his homeland? What a huben-madness! ”
The last three words were prolonged, and it was obvious that Liu Ziguang's words had deeply angered Princess Xiangxiang, and her words became more and more intense, and her little face was flushed, and her chest was also undulating, and it seemed that she couldn't talk about it, and she was ready to turn her face.
Hearing Princess Xiangxiang scolding herself, Liu Ziguang didn't get angry, but laughed: "Princess Xiangxiang is young, her mouth is not covered, but I like it, hehe, I see that you have a dry mouth after saying so much, come and drink a cup of tea in the Biluochun of Jiangnan." ”
Liu Ziguang personally picked up the teapot and poured tea in the cup in front of Princess Xiangxiang, but people didn't appreciate it at all, but looked at Liu Ziguang with a vigilant pervert look, and didn't drink any Biluochun from him, but took out the skin bag and water bag around his waist and brought it to his mouth to drink.
While Princess Xiangxiang was drinking water, Liu Ziguang said again: "The Hui athlete is skilled in bows and horses, of course he doesn't dare to underestimate him, but that is all in the past, now the princess is only three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, presumably it is not easy to gather a hundred guards to come to my Chang'an City today, just rely on these family backgrounds, I am afraid it will not be easy to confront the 100,000 Xixia army, right?" Even if you really succeed one day, it must be the time when Princess Xiangxiang is full of children and grandchildren, and is there any meaning in winning at that time? And relying on our Red Shirts, after half a year, we can drive away the Tanguts, and we can dispose of the territory we have laid down as you want, and it is already a gift for you to continue to live, do you still want to be the king independently, is your appetite too great? ”
This is true, the current Princess Xiangxiang is actually a bare-bones commander, and she has no capital to negotiate conditions with Liu Ziguang, since everyone has said it so directly, Princess Xiangxiang has no choice but to use the last killer move.
"I'm willing to sacrifice myself in exchange for the independence of the Ministry." Princess Xiangxiang said resolutely.
Liu Ziguang pretended to be stupid: "What? Why did Princess Xiangxiang say this? bsp; Feeding the tiger with her body is a decision made by Princess Xiangxiang when she came, the Red Shirt Army under the command of the Ming Dynasty General is the strongest army in the world, even the remote Huijiang herdsmen also know, and in exchange for the price of the Red Shirt Army to help the war, the highest cost-effectiveness ratio is to sacrifice herself, Princess Xiangxiang is very confident in her appearance and body, the title of the first beauty in Huijiang is not a natural body fragrance blown out, and not everyone has it, one of the reasons for the Western Xia army to attack the Hui Department is to rob Princess Xiangxiang to be a concubine for Emperor Galdan. Therefore, Huo Lingyao understands her value very well, since ancient times, heroes love beauty, and the general of the expedition to the west is a rare heroic figure, so she will naturally be moved by her proposal.
To be honest, the simple-minded Princess Xiangxiang looked down on Liu Ziguang too much, yes, Liu Ziguang fell in love from the beginning, Huo Lingyao would not have personally put down her body and secretly talked with her about the tribal armament of three hundred people, just find a general and negotiate the matter. The treacherous and cunning Liu Ziguang proposed that those conditions were just a sky-high asking price, he knew very well in his heart that it would not be beneficial to take the Hetao area into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the moths in the imperial court would go to Ningxia to become officials, and within three years, they would scrape down the land three feet, and it would be strange if they did not provoke a civil uprising when the time came.
Completely subdued the Hui Division, slowly integrated them, assimilated them, and governed the Hui as they did in the Mongolian steppe, nominally Chahar Khan Zamu and in the rule, in fact, it was not the financial and material resources of the Red Shirts behind the support, and the core of the Hui Department was that Huo Lingyao would subdue the entire Hui Department as long as she subdued this little girl.
Huo Lingyao thought that Liu Ziguang hadn't heard clearly, and said again: "As long as you promise to preserve the independence of our Hui Ministry, I am willing to dedicate myself to you, I can swear according to the Koran, and I will marry you when I drive out the enemy and return to the country to build the country." ”
Liu Ziguang said hypocritically: "It's not proper! How can Ben Shuai take advantage of the danger of others, and then say that the affairs of the court can be used for trading, it is inappropriate, this matter must not be mentioned again. ”
Huo Lingyao stood up suddenly, and there was a sharp knife in his hand, and the blade was pressed against his snow-white neck, and said, "If you promise me, I will be splashed with blood on the spot today!" ”
Dare to love or force marriage, Liu Ziguang had to hold his head with both hands, pretending to think hard, and only raised his head for a while to take a look, Huo Lingyao's eyes were tearful, the small knife in his hand had cut the flesh and skin, and a trace of blood appeared.
The woman in the Hui department was fierce, Liu Ziguang didn't dare to sell it anymore, got up and said solemnly: "Okay! Today, Ben Shuai will break the danger of being punished by the imperial court, and I will promise you for the time being. ”
As soon as these words came out, Huo Lingyao, who was nervous, relaxed, spread out on the chair as if he had collapsed, and only after a while did he cheer up and said: "Okay, tomorrow, I will swear to you in front of my subordinates, and I will leave it soon." ”
The meeting ended successfully, Liu Ziguang personally sent Princess Xiangxiang to the gate, looking at her slender and prosperous figure on horseback, gradually leaving, Zhenwuhou shrugged his nose, and the air was still filled with a faint daughter Xiangqin's heart.
"Isn't Lao Tzu a little shameless this time?" Liu Ziguang muttered to himself, turned around and went back to his house, walked on the road, sneezed a few times in a row, he wondered, look at the sky, it's not cold today, is it who is scolding me?
At this time, Dong Xiaowan in the pavilion had not yet slept peacefully, and was pinching the pillow fiercely, as if it was Liu Ziguang: "The villain has no conscience, and people don't want to send it to the door, so they know what Princess Xiangxiang is hooking up with, and the pervert!" Flattened! ”
