After the end of the Denglai Rebellion, although the rebels abandoned Dengzhou City and fled to the northeast, many bandit and bandit armed groups emerged in the local area, and the public security situation in Fushan County has not been fundamentally improved. For the wealthy gentry in the jurisdiction, there were only three ways out: one was to sell their property and go south to take refuge in the Jianghuai region, waiting for the situation to improve before trying to return to their hometown; second, they formed associations to protect themselves and organized militia groups to fight against bandits; and third, they moved their families to the county town and relied on the government to escape the chaos.

Now in addition to the government personnel and family members living in this Fushan county, it is these squires who account for the majority, as long as the Haihan people do not grab money, grain and land, then they are not a common enemy, everything is negotiable. The person who was previously sent to communicate with Haihan outside the city as an envoy of the government was actually a squire in the county. Under the banner of helping refugees, the Haihan people easily wiped out the main force of the Wanjia Army, and when will this strength not take the initiative to fight?

"Lord Zhang, the lives of the fathers and villagers in this city are all in the hands of adults, and I hope that my lords can consider the people and patiently deal with the Haihan people, even if there are disagreements, they need to be properly handled. When the adults return to the city, we will hold a banquet to celebrate them. As a representative of the people in the city, an elderly man tactfully expressed the attitude of the people to Zhang Pucheng.

Zhang Pucheng said in his heart, I don't want to reach a peace agreement with the Haihan people, but this initiative is not in my hands now, my own county magistrate is just a magistrate and not a local snake, and there is nothing I can do about this group of Haihan people who are like an army. However, the Haihan people have taken the initiative to show that they are willing to cooperate, so Zhang Pucheng will naturally not refuse - if he refuses categorically, he may be regarded as a manifestation of hostility by the Haihan people, and the last example of a hostile attitude towards the Haihan is vividly placed in front of him, and the burial pit that Haihan let the prisoners of war dig in the field outside the city yesterday can be seen clearly in the county town, which is not a joke.

Zhang Pucheng's soft sedan chair didn't go far out of the city before arriving at the teahouse selected by Haihan. The Haihan cavalry has cleared out an area near the teahouse, and many of the refugees who originally lived outside the city have abandoned the slums and gone to the Haihan camp by the river in the past two days, so this clean-up work did not take much effort, just drove the few refugees out of the warning range, to ensure that there would be no idle people around the meeting place.

Zhang Pucheng got off the sedan chair at the door of the teahouse, and the first thing he saw was several men with dark complexions, wearing gray cardigans and trousers. There were also two ragged locals, and when they saw Zhang Pucheng get off the sedan chair, they nodded to the Haihan people. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Pucheng understood that the other party's arrangement was to allow locals to identify and confirm his identity, so as to prevent someone from impersonating. The Haihan people are rough and detailed, and they don't even let go of this kind of detail, which makes Zhang Pucheng secretly a little more careful.

Soon he saw the leader of this group of Haihan people, Ha Lugong, just like everyone else, his complexion was also very dark, and his head was as short as a monk, but the aura exuded from his body was obviously stronger than that of ordinary people. And this dark complexion also confirms from the side that the Haihan people claim to be from the south, Zhang Pucheng himself is from Jinan Prefecture, and has dealt with Fujian businessmen who came to Shandong to do business before, and the other party's accent is extremely strong, and what he said is really completely incomprehensible, and he can't help but worry a little about whether the next negotiations can go smoothly.

But as soon as Ha Lugong opened his mouth, he completely dispelled Zhang Pucheng's doubts, it was completely a pure northern accent, and there was no situation that Zhang Pucheng was worried about. He didn't know that Harugong was actually born in Mongolia, which was much farther north than Shandong in terms of geographical location.

Although the negotiation object was only a small magistrate, Ha Lugong's courtesy was still very sufficient, and after inviting Zhang Pucheng to sit down, he let people serve tea. Zhang Pucheng saw that the other party was so exquisite, and his nervous mood relaxed a little.

However, Halugong is a military attache after all, and after the hot tea was served, he waved his hand to let his subordinates withdraw, and cut directly to the point: "I invited Lord Zhang to go out of the city to meet today, to inform my lord of the current situation, and then discuss to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." ”

Ha Lu Gong paused, and then said: "I believe that yesterday our battle with the Wanjia Army outside the city, Lord Zhang should already know. We have now captured more than 1,000 prisoners of war of the bandit army, including the bandit Wanmeng, and after interrogation, it can be basically determined that this is the main force of the Wanjia army. Although a small number of people are still at large, it is no longer a climate, and it is unlikely that it will threaten the safety of the people of Fushan County in the near future. If there is anything you don't understand about the results, you can go to our camp to verify the status of the captured prisoners of war. ”

Zhang Pucheng even went out of the city to negotiate with great difficulty, and he didn't dare to try to go to the Haihan camp to find out, so he said at the moment: "You have come all the way from the south, and it is really a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to do this righteous act!

Ha Lugong said with a smile: "It's okay to hand over these prisoners of war to the Fushan County Ya, but Lord Zhang, you have to think clearly, can you hold so many prisoners in this county?"

"This ......" Zhang Pucheng couldn't help but be stunned by these words for a while, so he had to change his words: "There are many ordinary bandits who are coerced to join them, but the leaders and leaders of these 10,000 troops are all people who have been doing evil in the local area for many years, so they should be subdued." ”

Ha Lugong said: "We came all the way to Shandong, in fact, we didn't come for this gang of bandits, there are many more important things waiting for us to deal with, so it's no problem for these people to be handed over to the government for disposal." However, we are businessmen who do business, and the transactions are all about mutual benefit and reciprocity, we provide convenience to Fushan County, and we also hope that Master Zhang can give us some convenience. ”

The Haihan people would put forward some quid pro quo in the negotiations, but Zhang Pucheng had expected this, nodded and said: "Harling might as well talk about it first, if it is not against the law of the country and is beneficial, the official will make the decision and agree." ”
