Chapter 943: Conditions

In a few years, the scale of Wuyisi has grown tremendously and rapidly.

Under Guo Chong's arrangement and efforts, Wuyisi not only had a pervasive spy in Jinling and behind enemy lines, but also had a more or less considerable number of eyes and ears in other large areas controlled by the imperial court.

Although these people do not yet have the power to arrest and ask for crimes, with their intelligence network all over the lower levels, the imperial court can still clearly understand the livelihood and specific conditions of the people outside the capital in the fastest way.

For example, the problem of the silk industry in the south of the Yangtze River this time was actually caused by the local Wuyi Division scouts who found out some problems and reflected them in Jinling, which was only taken seriously by Sun Ning.

Because of this, after Weifu came to Hangzhou, Sun Ning still reused the power of Wuyisi, allowing them to continue to dig into the inside stories of the local surrounding industries.

Originally, I thought that no matter how capable they were, they would not be able to gain much in a short period of time. But now that this Wuyi Si Cao came to see the driver in such a hurry, Sun Ning couldn't help but judge that there was really something big about it.

This shocked his spirit: "Come here and talk about it, but has there been a breakthrough in the Hangzhou silk matter?"

Xu Xing was stunned, and then replied with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister is not here to report the matter on the silk in Hangzhou, but the urgent affairs of the Jinling court."

"Huh?" Sun Ning's expression was even more condensed at this time, and he quickly sat up straight: "What happened to the court?"

It's no wonder that Sun Ning is so nervous, it's really a big deal, and he doesn't dare to relax.

Because in his arrangement, no matter how big the matter is, those courtiers in the court can handle it calmly.

After all, his family came to Hangzhou, and Shen Zhou and other important ministers were left in the center to deal with various affairs, and even Guo Chong was left there by him.

Moreover, if the situation is not really urgent, it stands to reason that the ministers of the DPRK and China have a script, and they should also pass it on through the post station, instead of directly using the channel of the Wuyi Division.

Even in Sun Ning's opinion, it was because there was another war in the north, which made the imperial court rush to send someone to Hangzhou to report and let him go back quickly.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's about Kaifeng, and there is a transcript of Lord Zhuge ." Xu Xingzhi didn't dare to say more, so he presented a copy of the book he had brought with him.

Sun Ning raised his eyebrows, but his heart was relieved, as long as it wasn't another war in the north. It seems that Zhuge Qingyun has really gained something in Kaifeng, did he say that Qin Yude returned to the imperial court?

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense to send it so eagerly, after all, this matter is also very important, and it is related to the next foreign policy of the imperial court.

Turning his mind, Sun Ning had already opened the notebook, first looked at the end, and saw that there were four batches of words by Shen Zhou - "Only please ask for holy judgment", and he didn't even attach the suggestion to his face.

This made Sun Ning even more curious, so he took a closer look at the content, and at a glance, his brows slowly wrinkled.

The content on this recital is actually not complicated, and it is indeed from Zhuge Qingyun, who is still in Kaifeng. He mentioned that Qin Yude in Kaifeng did have plans to abandon the darkness and turn to the light under the persuasion of himself and Ke Yongsheng, but he also put forward several conditions.

"After returning to the imperial court, he was canonized as the Taishou of the twelve cities of Kaifeng, and the military regime was in his hands, and he was also named a marquis...... That's a big appetite.

"The army of our court is not allowed to enter Kaifeng City, even if it goes to attack Luoyang through here, it must be stationed outside the city...... Is this really taking Kaifeng as his own territory, wanting to be the emperor of the soil, or is it a festival envoy?"

Sun Ning looked at those conditions one by one, and his face slowly became gloomy.

From begging the imperial court for food and silver, to asking the imperial court to return the tens of thousands of people who fled to the south from Kaifeng and other cities in recent years, to the two demands he deliberately read out earlier.

It can be said that this Qin Yude really showed the statement of sitting on the ground and opening his mouth with practical actions.

Sun Ning can imagine what kind of reaction everyone will have when this thing is sent to Jinling and passed on to the courtiers.

It is bound to be angry later, and even proposed to use troops directly against Kaifeng, so that Qin Yude knew that the majesty of the imperial court could not be provoked, and let him pay the price.

or

Xu is also because of this, Shen Zhou and Xiao Changyong did not dare to write their suggestions on this notebook, because they couldn't afford it.

However, Sun Ning was not too angry, because he knew that this was because the other party had some support to put forward such harsh conditions.

Not to mention anything else, the more than 100,000 elites of the Pingtian Army under Qin Yude alone, as well as the more than 20 cities, were enough to make the imperial court pay attention to its huge influence in the next unification battle.

And his identity as one of the three main generals of the Pingtian Army invisibly plays a pivotal role in the entire situation.

It can be said that once the imperial court can really make him submit to obedience, the morale blow to the other two Pingtian armies will be devastating. At that time, I don't dare to say that it will be decided, but the next many cities are bound to collapse quickly after the imperial army is killed in front of them, and they will surrender on their own initiative.

And how much benefit it will bring to the imperial court is not something that they can count at will at the moment.

It was precisely because he knew his importance and influence that Qin Yude dared to put forward so many conditions.

In fact, if it were just these conditions, Sun Ning would really be able to decide quickly and agree to him first.

But the problem is that in addition to these conditions, which can only be fulfilled one by one in the future, at the end of the book, there is another precondition that is even more embarrassing, only if the imperial court agrees and puts it into action, Qin Yude will officially surrender to the imperial court.

That is, the imperial court will send troops, conquer Xingyang, and then send this important city to him Qin Yude to show his sincerity, and he will officially surrender to the imperial court......

Qin Yude's wishful thinking, Sun Ning is in Hangzhou, and the abacus beads are about to collapse on his face.

Xingyang, which is the entire Gyeonggi region, is only important under Kaifeng and Luoyang, and its cities are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are not under those two cities.

It can be said that this Xingyang is the most important gateway to protect Luoyang in addition to the Tiger Prison Pass. Now that he is naturally under the control of Zhao Guangxiao, he must have sent heavy troops and good generals to guard his city.

Once Xingyang is attacked, it means that Luoyang is attacked, which means that the imperial court and Luoyang have started a head-to-head showdown.

At this time, Qin Yude was in Kaifeng, but he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he could even make the most beneficial choice according to the situation, either surrendering to the imperial court, or joining forces with Zhao Guangxiao.

If the previous conditions only showed Qin Yude's greed, then this request can be regarded as harboring evil intentions.

Sun Ning's face was calm, obviously unable to agree to these conditions: "Zhuge Qingyun, what did they talk about?"
