Chapter 558: Persuasion
Ning Ze took Ding Bi and other captured soldiers into Minjiang County, and Pei Ji was driven away in disguise, saying that he was asked to bring a message to Ma Jian, how could he dare to leave Minjiang County easily in this case?
Of course, he didn't forget to report to Ma Jian from Feige, he didn't dare to hide such a big thing.
After leaving Minjiang County for a while, I suddenly woke up, was I deceived?
That Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin had been in contact with Ning Ze before they made it clear, and they couldn't escape without Ning Ze's rescue. Giving up the Minjiang county town to Ning Ze so naturally, I'm afraid it was arranged by Ning Ze in advance, right? By the way, he took Ding Bi down, and in turn buckled Nan into a hat......
Therefore, people often can't see clearly in the game, but once they look at things from the outside, they will be much clearer.
It is in response to the sentence: the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.
But what's the use of figuring it out? If you can point out the doubts immediately, maybe you will have something to say. Now that Ning Ze has confirmed the "evidence", he didn't refute it at the time, and now his position is unstable. As a result, the other party also raised the height and held His Majesty accountable in turn, which is troublesome!
Pei Ji, who suddenly figured it out, slapped his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
He felt that this matter had to be remedied, and before His Majesty became angry, it was best to invite the national teacher to solve it as soon as possible.
So he hurried and hurried away.
Ning Ze settled in Minjiang County, put Ding Bi and those officials who were more loyal to Nancheng under house arrest temporarily, and persuaded all the soldiers in the prisoner camp to surrender and integrate to further expand the force.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chao were still a little uneasy in their confidence, although they assisted Ning Ze to complete the script, after all, they were used as pawns by the other party as a last resort. Now that Ning Ze occupies the county seat of Minjiang, whether he will reuse himself as agreed, or throw it away when he runs out, it is impossible to say.
Ning Ze arranged the defense of the city, and used Song Gao, Ning Yong, Shao Yi, and the newly surrendered generals to ensure that there were no omissions in Minjiang County. Then summoned Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin to meet.
The two were quite nervous, and they came to the Taishou official office together, and when they saw Ning Ze, they hurriedly stepped forward: "Guan Xuehu (Bai Chaoxin) to meet the prince!"
"The two generals don't need to be restrained!" a gentle smile appeared on Ning Ze's face, and he got up to greet him, "You two have a lot of credit, you have a new arrangement, I hope to cooperate as much as possible!"
The two looked at each other? I was extremely nervous. At the same time, he responded: "But there is a drive? No pushback!"
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal!" Ning Ze smiled? "Although take Minjiang County? There are already Nancheng troops in the surrounding area. Especially in the border direction, there is an elite garrison. To ensure smooth traffic? Zeshan's reinforcements can arrive in time, can the two generals lead their troops there? Convince the border guards to surrender?"
"Is it the king's order? The two of us are willing to go!" Guan Xuehu's expression was slightly worried, "I'm afraid that the border army will not surrender......"
"So let you lead the troops!" Ning Ze said, "The border is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you two will transfer 10,000 soldiers?" There are also our generals leading troops on the Zeshan side? The two sides are flanked, and if the other party refuses to surrender, they will be wiped out directly!"
"Whew!!" Hearing this, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were a little relieved. Although the strength of the border defenders is not bad, their own strength is twice that of the other side? and Zeshan's side sent troops to attack, it would be much simpler.
"To facilitate the march of the troops? Temporarily entitle the two as generals of Anyi and Yi! Although they are miscellaneous generals, wait for Your Majesty to be alone? There's another reward!"
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were directly stunned, worried before? Now it's shocking? I thought I was hallucinating.
Don't look at General An Yi and General Qiu Yi are all miscellaneous names? It seems that he has no real power, but he is a serious five-grade military attaché, and with the qualifications of the two of them, he may not be able to mix these two fictitious positions in Nancheng's life.
Ning Ze is so generous, he opened his mouth to be two five-grade miscellaneous generals, and even explained that there was another reward, and he might have a higher position of real power in the future!
The two of them were originally a little reluctant in their hearts, and they were used as chess pieces, how could they be comfortable in their hearts? Now there is indeed no grievance, and at the same time they bowed to Ning Ze to the end: "Thank you Lord Wang!
"Well! Since they have joined the Chinese Kingdom, they will be rewarded for their merits, and they will be punished for their mistakes! I hope that the two generals will be cautious in their words and deeds, and will not violate the laws of the Chinese Kingdom. If you are alone in front of the law, you will not be able to say anything!"
"The last general will definitely abide by the law and serve the court!!" the two said in unison, unable to help but be excited.
"Then lead the troops to set off, don't delay!" Ning Ze urged them, "If you can persuade them to surrender and try to subdue them, if you can't do it, you can force them to surrender." If there are capable people in the border army, they will all take it for Gu!"
"Wow!!"
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were reused, their loyalty increased significantly, and they set off immediately with their soldiers and horses, and marched to the border of Fujian Mountain.
Ning Ze summoned the local intelligence officers, who were the black-clothed men who assisted Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin in taking the Minjiang County Town: "The Minjiang County City has been taken, but there is a shortage of manpower, and many departments cannot operate. There are too few county officials willing to surrender, and you need to do something for Gu!"
"The prince commands!"
"You are familiar with the local intelligence," Ning Ze said, "find the captured officials, including Ding Bi, as soon as possible, and please come here." Lone must persuade these family members to help and persuade the captured officials to surrender!"
"Don't worry, I'll bring people here as soon as possible!"
"And!" Ning Ze touched the pointed mustache on his chin, "The telegram informed the intelligence officers of the counties in Nancheng that under the condition of ensuring their own safety, spread the news throughout the territory, saying that Pei Ji and Gu had found the treasure of King Yun in Cangshan, and conspired with Gu to divide it equally and swallow it privately. Now Pei Jifu is rivaling the country, and he is arranging for his family to move ......"
"Subordinates take orders!"
The intelligence officers left the official office and acted separately, Ning Ze walked to the door of the main hall, looked at the cloudy sky with his hands and said to himself: "Pei Ji, Pei Ji, although I am a little sorry for you, I can only do this......!
Pei Ji didn't know that Ning Ze was secretly cheating on himself again, and he was still thinking about how to get Minjiang County back. In his view, although Minjiang County was occupied by Ning Ze, it was only a county town, and the county seat, including the entire Minjiang County, was still in the hands of Nancheng, with the national teacher and the soldiers and horses under his command, so he might not be able to get it back.
The intelligence personnel have a good understanding of the interior of Minjiang County, and they have found out all the information from top to bottom, especially the intelligence of officials of all sizes in the county. With the assistance of some officials who surrendered, they soon invited all the families of those officials who were unwilling to surrender to gather in the main hall of the official office.
When these family members were occupied by Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin from the city, they were always frightened and uneasy. Today, I learned that Ning Ze entered the city, from the Taishou Ding Bi to the low-level officials in the city were all captured and placed under house arrest somewhere, and I was thinking about how to see my family, when I was suddenly called to the official office and faced the most powerful man in Huaguo, I panicked one by one, and my heart was full of ups and downs.
When he arrived here, he found that a banquet had been set up in the hall, Ning Ze looked kind, not as terrible as he imagined, and did not do anything that made them feel frightened. It was just that at the banquet, he explained to them that he hoped that his family would persuade the captured officials not to die and keep a festival for Nancheng, who had no future.
If these officials can be persuaded to surrender, they can all be reused, and even those who are capable in their families and do not shy away from their status at all can be hired and serve the Chinese country.
He also explained in detail the various preferential policies of China, including the situation in the world, and laid out the advantages of China, and many family members were seriously moved, and only a few of them may be more pedantic and have been silent.
Ning Ze was quite satisfied with this situation, the kind of family that was very pedantic had to be sent back to Jinzhou anyway, and there was Liu Yuanxiang in Huajun. With her frighteningly high benevolence, coupled with her stunts, it was only a matter of time before she persuaded the officials to surrender.
To be honest, the effect of Huaguo's open recruitment of talents is not as good as fighting a war and capturing enemy officers and generals to persuade them to surrender.
At the banquet, Ning Ze used his eloquence to successfully eliminate the resistance of most of the officials' families, and even won the approval of many people, so that they willingly agreed to persuade the captured family members to take refuge in Huaguo.
After the feast, it was indeed done.
The success rate of the family members in persuading the captured officials was not so high, and only seven or eight people were persuaded after the family visits the prison that day, and the position was not very high.
Surrendering these Ning Ze immediately reinstated them to their official duties, and gave their families a large reward to return to their homes for reunion.
Seeing this situation, the other family members also worked hard in the next few days and tried their best to persuade them.
No matter how tough a person is, he is always soft-hearted in the face of his family and is easy to be persuaded.
Especially seeing that the people who surrendered were reused, and even had heavy rewards, and were softly ground by their families, more officials gradually gave up their persistence and joined Ning Ze's command.
Soon an effect will be formed, and as soon as the opening is loosened, more and more people will follow suit. These recalcitrant officials have been loosened one after another.
What made Ning Ze most happy was that Taishou Ding Bi finally agreed to take refuge in Huaguo under the repeated persuasion of his family.
With his status and connections in Minjiang County, he had a great effect on Ning Ze's control of this city.
However, Ding Bi was obviously angry about being slandered, and he had to ask Ning Ze to return his innocence. Obviously he didn't do it, but he had to resist this hat, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
Ning Ze directly asked him to throw his hat to someone at a higher level, preferably pointing at Ma Jian. This is difficult for Ding Bi to accept, the forced surrender has reached the bottom line, and he can't do anything to frame the old master.
After discussion, Ning Ze asked him to handle the affairs of Minjiang County, saying that he would be transferred to other states and counties in China to be promoted as compensation, and then find an opportunity to clarify and restore his reputation in the future. After all, at the moment, I have to use this as an excuse to attack Ma Jian, stand firm morally, and launch an attack as a basis!
Ding Bi's surrender was completely kept secret from the outside world, at least until Ning Ze solved the big matter in front of him, and he had to make a fuss about it.
