Bai Yousong's words made Li Ze feel angry in his heart.

"No meat?"

"There's a hairy meat, the brothers below haven't seen meat for nearly half a year, and it's still meat! Dashuai, the one surnamed Chen said to give us meat? ”

Li Ze nodded slowly.

Seeing Li Ze's affirmation, Bai Yousong couldn't help but slap the table angrily, "Hmph, they will use some good words to deceive us all day long, our brothers came here from Zhejiang, for what, the Nanjing Military Department promised us, as long as the soldiers and horses arrived in Nanjing, they would make up for the previous arrears, and the one surnamed Chen also agreed." ”

"He's not from the military department, what he said doesn't work!"

"Then who should be responsible for giving us this money?"

Li Ze couldn't answer.

Nanjing has six departments, in charge of the south half of the Ming River, since the relocation of the capital to Beijing, Nanjing has been responsible for the taxation of the south of the Yangtze River and the army training and garrison expenses in the Nanjing area.

To put it simply, Nanjing's military department has a lot of power.

But in Nanjing, the most powerful are still the five members of the garrison council.

Counselor Fan Jingwen led the post of Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, a senior official of the second grade, and was fully responsible for Nanjing's military rations and salaries.

Li Zelayer went to Fan Jingwen many times to ask for military salaries, but Fan Jingwen excused himself on the grounds of difficulties in the imperial court.

Thinking about it now, Li Ze began to understand a little in his heart.

No one in this Nanjing city took their group of Zhejiang soldiers seriously at all, but they were used as cannon fodder.

On the other hand, the soldiers and horses from the north and south Zhili departments took good care of Fan Jingwen when he arrived.

Bai Yousong found an excuse to go out to hang out, and after an hour, Bai Yousong returned to Li Ze's barracks in a huff.

"Damn, I also said that there was no meat, it turned out that all the meat went to the camp of Nanzhili, and those dog officers didn't treat our Zhejiang soldiers as people at all!"

"What do you see?" Li Ze asked curiously.

Bai Yousong said angrily: "Dashuai, you go out and have a look, those soldiers and horses from Nanzhili in the city, where have they not eaten meat, even the miscellaneous servants who feed the horses have been divided into two taels of meat, look at us, how can there be meat!" ”

Hearing this, Li Ze was shocked, and he hurriedly walked out of his barracks and came to the place where the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili lived two miles away.

Good guy, what Bai Yousong said is really right, others are happily eating meat and drinking soup, and they can't even smell the aroma of the broth.

When Li Ze saw this scene, his face was dark.

He huffed and returned to the barracks with his own soldiers.

When Bai Yousong saw Li Ze come back, he knew that Li Ze must have seen the truth.

"Dashuai, my subordinates didn't lie to you, did they? We are raised by our stepmothers, and we don't deserve to eat that bit of pork! ”

Hearing the pork, the soldiers hurriedly reminded Bai Yousong: "General Bai, don't dare to talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

"There are ears and ears, damn it, Lao Tzu is almost hungry and can't eat, and he doesn't care about this taboo, his emperor's surname is Zhu, isn't that pig in my family? Isn't it pork that those Naoli soldiers swallowed in their stomachs? ”

The crowd was silent.

Bai Yousong's words pierced everyone's sensitive hearts.

In a day's fierce battle, they died thousands of people, and the Nanjing defenders in the city and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili were all good, and they could eat pork.

Li Ze also sighed and said: "We are outsiders, and it is normal to be unpopular, Lao Bai, don't be angry!" ”

"Dashuai, why are you afraid of them, if you want me to say, we have 20,000 brothers under our command, so just open the city gate directly and let the Han army outside in.

I've inquired, the food of the Han army is a thousand times better than ours, and the military salary is never in arrears, the king of Han is also the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and he never withholds the salary of his soldiers, and he gives enough compensation when he dies, and the silver is more than the court, so we work hard for the court, but the court is unfair, handsome, it is simply reduced. ”

Li Ze's face turned cold and said, "What are you talking about?" Surrender to the thieves, aren't you afraid that the court will destroy our nine clans? ”

"Heh, exterminate the Nine Clans? That also has to have the ability of the imperial court, the former military department of Beijing Li Banghua, people have defected to the king of Han two years earlier, and now he is the number one minister under the king of Han, holding heavy power, even his subordinates can be the prime minister, we have 20,000 brothers, you are handsome, at least you have to be the commander of a province! ”

Li Ze knew the position of commander.

The Han army is on the territory of three provinces, each province has 20,000 regular soldiers, 100,000 peasant soldiers, and the commander is in charge of the military power of one province, which can be said to be more powerful than the general army of Zhejiang who was given to him by the court.

If he can really do this position, then it will be profitable for him to surrender.

Bai Yousong saw that Li Ze's face was a little different, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, now the general trend of the world, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this great Ming Qi has been exhausted, and the one who will win the world in the future will not be the King of Han, or the King of Chuang in the north."

King Chuang is too far away from us, and the reputation of the thief Li Zicheng is not good, but the reputation of King Han is good, and the common people say that King Han is an unborn master, and he will definitely be the emperor in the future.

Once the King of Han conquered Nanjing, he will definitely immediately march into Zhejiang and Fujian, the commander of Zhejiang Province is now in the past, the position of the commander of Zhejiang Province, the King of Han will definitely reward you, then you will be the most powerful person in Zhejiang, if you help the King of Han to fight the world, and wait until the founding of the country, you can at least be a hereditary marquis, this must not run.

Give your life to Daming, you may not be able to be a marquis in your life! ”

Having said this, Bai Yousong stopped talking, he had to let Li Ze think about it himself.

Hearing Bai Yousong say that he was a marquis, Li Ze's heart suddenly moved a little.

He, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, if he is promoted according to the normal schedule, I am afraid that he may not be able to be a marquis until he dies, but if he surrenders to the king of Han, then there is really a possibility of being a marquis.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ze said to Bai Yousong: "You send someone to sneak out in the middle of the night, meet the Han King, and see what guarantee he can give us!" ”

As soon as Bai Yousong heard this, he knew that Li Ze agreed with his words.

At that moment, he solemnly arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the marshal to write a letter and stamp it with a seal, and his subordinates will go out of the city in person tonight, and they must ask the marshal clearly!" ”

In the middle of the night, it's the dead of night.

On the treasure gate, Bai Yousong was secretly hung by several soldiers with ropes and lowered the city wall.

After leaving the city, Bai Yousong quickly ran to the Han army camp three miles away.

At this time, in the Han army camp, Mo Qian had just fallen asleep.

After discussing the siege plan with several generals until midnight, everyone was tired and went back to their respective camps to sleep.

As soon as he lay down, the soldiers outside the door suddenly walked in and reported: "My lord, the patrolling brother has caught a general of the official army, and he claims to have come to surrender."

When Mo Qian heard this, he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

Gu Soon Bai Yousong was brought to Mo Qian by several personal soldiers, and at this time his weapons had been unloaded, and his hands were empty.

When Bai Yousong saw Mo Qian sitting under the banner of King Han, he knew at a glance that the person in front of him was King Han.

"Bai Yousong see King Han!"

Bai Yousong knelt on his knees and respectfully kowtowed to Mo Qian.

After Bai Yousong finished saluting, Mo Qian stared at Bai Yousong and asked, "Bai Yousong is the general of the defenders in the city?" ”

"The last general is a general under the command of Li Ze, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and he will lead the troops to Nanjing to defend the city with the orders of the Nanjing Military Department."

"Since General Bai is here to defend the city, what is the matter with visiting late at night?"

"The last general is here to ask for surrender, I hope the king of Han will accept it!"

"Please descend? Are you alone or for? ”

"The last general is here to ask me to surrender with 20,000 Zhejiang soldiers!"

Hearing this, Mo Qian's mood couldn't help but become excited.

But Mo Qian didn't show his excitement, but continued to ask: "You said that you came to ask for surrender, why should the widow believe you?" ”

These words stopped Bai Yousong.

There have been many fraudulent surrenders in history, who knows if he Bai Yousong surrendered by fraud.

Bai Yousong also knows this truth, it has only been a day since the Han King attacked the city, and the city of Nanjing is immovable, you went out of the city that night and said that you came to ask for surrender, who will believe it!

Bai Yousong hurriedly took out the letter that Li Ze had written to him in advance, presented it with both hands and said: "King Han, this is a letter written by the chief soldier of my family, with the seal of my chief soldier on it, and the king of Han knows everything when he sees the letter. ”

The soldiers took the letter and presented it to Mo Qian, who opened the letter and took a closer look and found that the signature in the letter was indeed the pen of Li Ze, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and there was the seal of the general soldier behind the pen.

Mo Qian hurriedly instructed the soldiers around him: "Go and invite Master Shi to come immediately." ”

Soon, Shi Kefa, who had already slept, hurried over.

Entering the big tent, Shi Kefa saw Bai Yousong kneeling on the ground at a glance, and hurriedly asked, "King, who is this?" ”

"This is Bai Yousong, a staff general under the command of the Zhejiang General Army, who was ordered by Li Ze, the general of Zhejiang, to deliberately take this letter of surrender out of the city and want to surrender to us."

As soon as Shi Kefa heard it, he knew that this was great news.

Mo Qian handed the letter written by Li Ze to Shi Kefa and said: "This is a letter written by Li Ze to the widow, and Xianzhi can distinguish the truth from the false." ”

After Shi Kefa took a quick look, he said to Mo Qian: "This letter should be true, it is difficult to fake the seal of the imperial court!" ”

Hearing this, Mo Qian nodded, and he said to the soldiers around him: "Take Bai Yousong down, so that you can be treated with raw wine and meat." ”

"General Bai, you can sit down for a while, and I'll see you later."

Bai Yousong knew that this was the King of Han who wanted to discuss with his subordinates, so he got up very interestingly and said: "The little one obeys the order, and please hurry up to the King of Han, I won't be able to enter the city as soon as it is dawn." ”

"General Bai, rest assured, it won't be too long!"

Sending Bai Yousong away, Mo Qian asked Shi Kefa: "Xianzhi, look at this, how true is it?" ”

Shi Kefa said: "At present, five points are true, five points are false!" ”

"How so?"

"King, we have only been in Nanjing for one day, this siege battle has only been fought for one day, the main force of the defenders in Nanjing is still there, this Li Ze, as the chief soldier of Zhejiang, has no reason to raise troops to vote when the two sides have not yet seen the victory or defeat, he came to vote at this time, there are only two possibilities."

"Which two?"

"One of them is a fake surrender, trying to trick our army into entering the city, there are thirteen gates of Nanjing City, seven of which have no urn city, six have urn city, and there is an urn city in this treasure gate.

And the urn city of Jubaomen, also known as the first urn city in the world, the city wall in the city is as high as seven zhang, and the three-storey floor is as high as fourteen zhang, the momentum is magnificent.

Inside the urn city, there are three urn cities again, through by four city gates, in the shape of a zigzag, each gate has a thousand jin gate, once the gate is put down, it is the gods can not escape. ”

"In addition, there are 13 Tibetan soldiers in the inner part of the urn city, and there are 14 hidden soldiers under the left and right horse roads, and the Tibetan soldiers can accommodate 3,000 elite soldiers and a month's grain and grass in the Tibetan soldier hole, if the army enters the urn city, the defenders say that the jack gate is put down, and the soldiers and horses that attack the city will become the turtle in the urn, and sooner or later they will be killed and wounded."

Hearing this, Mo Qian couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart.

He asked, "Could it be that he is a fraud?" Want to lure our army into the city of urns and then annihilate them? ”

Shi Kefa said: "It's possible, but it's only half, Weichen read this Li Ze's letter, his letter seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the Nanjing garrison and the Nanjing military department, Chen Guangyu and Fan Jingwen treat Zhejiang soldiers and horses differently, and there are deductions in food and military salaries, which leads to the dissatisfaction of the Zhejiang soldiers, Li Ze is because Chen Guangyu arranged his 20,000 Zhejiang soldiers to guard the city on the treasure gate, and he is resentful, so he must be even more dissatisfied in his heart, so the possibility of his sincere surrender is also fifty percent. ”

After listening to Shi Kefa's analysis, Mo Qian couldn't help but sigh and said: "If he really surrenders, then our army can easily attack the city, and Nanjing City is at your fingertips, but if this is a trap, then our army will lose the lives of thousands of soldiers because of the credulity of the widow." ”

Shi Kefa nodded: "King, how to choose, we have to continue to observe for a few more days, and we can't make a rash decision now." ”

Mo Qian nodded, Shi Kefa was right, he couldn't easily trust Li Ze now, if it was a trap, then he would be passive.

Mo Qian called Bai Yousong in again and said to him: "The widow already knows what you mean by surrendering, but at present, the widow can't see that you have any need to surrender, and the widow can't judge whether you are sincere but surrendering." ”

When Bai Yousong heard this, he immediately said urgently: "King Han, our general soldier is really surrendering, if the king doesn't believe it, you can send a few henchmen to follow me into the city, as long as the henchmen of the king of Han enter the city and stay for a few days, the king of Han will definitely believe that we are sincerely surrendering." ”

When Mo Qian and Shi Kefa heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Shi Kefa nodded: "King, it's feasible!" ”

"Okay, the widow will send five men into the city with you, and in five days' time, you will let my five brothers go out of the city, and I will make a decision then!"

Bai Yousong's surrender failed once, but he brought back five cronies of the Han king.

Bai Yousong took five cronies into the city, found five sets of personal soldiers' clothes, changed them into them, and then took the five people to Li Ze's residence outside late at night.

"Dashuai, I have seen King Han!"

When Li Ze heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

"King Han didn't agree to our invitation."

"What?"
