Chapter 824: Heavenly Soldiers
This negotiation is sometimes more than momentum, and if one party's momentum is overpowered, it will naturally be able to get more benefits in the subsequent negotiations.
But the head of the Ming army, King Zhou, really didn't seem to care, and he continued to threaten: "Win the king and defeat the king." Whether you are an official or not, whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are all our defeated generals! Now that we have gathered you here, you should listen to our ......"
He originally thought that these Ming troops were ambushed and protected the nobles, so they should be extremely cautious, but they were never willing to take risks. But I didn't expect these Ming soldiers to be so tough, they were about to draw their swords on the spot, and they didn't give in for half a point. I had to continue to hold back on words.
Over there, Zhu Su finally opened his mouth. It's just that he didn't say it to Chen Zuyi, but said to a guard behind him: "Go, bring the gift prepared by this king." ”
"Gifts?" Chen Zuyi was stunned.
"Chen Da is a homeless and reckless man, but this king is an imperial nobleman in the state of etiquette. If you want to talk about each other, it is natural that etiquette cannot be abolished. Zhu Su said. Before coming, Jin Yiwei had already spied on this Chen Zuyi's mind of wanting to return to his hometown of Chaozhou several times, and stabbed this Chen Zuyi with Zhu Su's saltiness. Chen Zuyi's face turned dark again, and he saw a Ming army soldier bring up a wooden box from behind and put it in front of him.
"This is ......" Chen Zuyi opened it on the spot, but he was shocked. Inside, it was the head of the old thief who had pretended to be the old patriarch of the tribe before.
"Master Chen said that we are defeated under him...... However, our troops are unscathed, and our generals are unscathed, but one of your leaders has died, and the losses are innumerable. Dare to ask, who won and who lost before? "Zhu Su's old god is here.
Facts speak louder than words, and the pirates finally lost their fire. This old thief is a highly-ranked master under Chen Zuyi, and everyone knows him. Now that he has died in the hands of the Ming army, it is indeed a shame for them to insist that they have the upper hand.
Chen Zuyi's face was also ugly, this incident was indeed a flaw in their plan, originally according to their plan, this old master should capture or booby trap the head of the Ming army, and then they ambushed the leaderless Ming soldiers with fierce fire oil, and finally used these Ming troops as meat tickets in exchange for artillery on the Ming warships.
This old master, really speaking, is still an uncle of his, because he is quite wise, and he is extremely supportive, and he has also made a cameo appearance in the past as a spy leader to capture and kill the general of the opposite family by changing his disguise and luring, and he has never missed a shot, so this time he was asked to take on the important task of seducing the head of the Ming army.
Unexpectedly, the uncle who hunted geese all day long was finally pecked blind by the geese, and the general of the Ming army they designed turned out to be the famous Zhou King Zhu Su.
"Since you feel that you have won, why do you want to go to Lao Tzu's invitation?" Chen Zuyi's hard way.
Zhu Su naturally wouldn't say that he wanted to touch their bottom. He wanted to recruit Chen Zuyi, but this intention could not be exposed at the beginning. These pirates are unruly, and if you want to be subdued, you need to understand their intentions and demoralize them. So Zhu Su said: "Master Chen also said that you invited this king to come." ”
"This king has already given a meeting gift, and now it's time to change the master...... What do you mean when you see this king, and don't you want to explain it now? ”
The momentum of his own side has already prevailed, and Zhu Su is not afraid that they will open their mouths, and now they ask each other, thinking that they can find their bottom line.
Chen Zuyi was silent for a while. Similarly, now that his side is in a state of flux, how can he say that he wants to blackmail and blackmail? But he crisscrossed the South Seas, and a piece of face had already been thrown to Java. After thinking about it, he still said: "You are now besieged by us and others, if you are willing to write a letter to Tang and Lao'er, pay a ransom of 10,000 taels, a treasure ship, and 100 guns and firearms on board, Lao Tzu will make a proposal to release you......"
actually asked for a ransom, and originally guessed whether they would bargain for Dawan, or simply want to ask the court for a justifiable title, Zhu Su laughed. It seems that this gang of thieves is indeed a thief, so he smiled and said: "It is impossible, my Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty has already made it clear that the Ming Dynasty will not cede land, do not make peace, and will not pay compensation." This is true for enemy countries, and besides, you are just a gang of pirates? ”
“…… Gold and silver don't want it, at least we need to have some wins, right? Chen Zuyi still did not give up. It turned out that he was going to stake the meat tickets to find the soup and ask for ransom, but now these "meat tickets" are stubbornly resisting on the mountain, and he has no choice but to bargain with Zhu Su for a while. "Lord Zhou, you have thought clearly. You guard the way up, and we guard the way down...... There's not much food on this mountain, and if you really want to consume it like this, you can't tell who can consume whom! ”
"This king doesn't want to break through, he just doesn't want to lose too much...... Do you really think that this king can't get out? Zhu Su said with a smile. What's more, and this king consumes ...... Do you have what it takes? There was no news from this king for a few days, and Dingguo Gong definitely sent a large army to find it. You Chen Zuyi may be a dragon in the sea, and you can also turn the sea and the river on the shore? Can you stop the great soldiers under the command of Dingguo Gong? ”
Chen Zuyi was dumbfounded. I thought I had the upper hand...... Why is it that now when you are talking and talking, you are surrounded and cornered, but you seem to be yourself?
Seeing that the Ming army had the advantage, Chen Zuyi had a thief attack for a while, and he couldn't care about hiding his true purpose, so he patted the handrail and stood up and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't care, today, you have to take out at least fifty cannons for Lao Tzu!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will attack the mountain and die with you guys! ”
They actually wanted a ship gun, Zhu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became cold. "Impossible, my Ming court has never had a precedent for compensating for gold and silver property. What's more, if you want a ship cannon, don't you want to use it against my Daming Sailor? ”
“…… Who said I was going to use it against the Great Ming Water Master? Chen Zuyi's eyes rolled. Otherwise, I am willing to be given the title by the imperial court and return to the Ming court with the three Buddhas. Aren't you Ming people expanding their territory? This is a great achievement to expand the territory! ”
"In this way, I will ask the imperial court to allocate some ships and cannons, which is not compensation, right?"
"In this case, you, Chen Zuyi, should bind yourself and ask for sin...... If I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, are willing to forgive your sins and allow you to make meritorious contributions, it is not too late for you to talk about these things......"
The words were not speculative, and the two groups of people quarreled, so they broke up unhappily. Before the luck, the pirate leader Chen Zuyi glared at Zhu Su quite fiercely, Zhu Su's side, Chang Mao and the others glared angrily, but Li Jinglong was puzzled, and after the two groups of people were far away, Li Jinglong asked: "Fifth uncle, according to your original thoughts, didn't you want to recruit this gang of thieves?" Why are they willing to take the initiative to lose their sincerity, but you are not willing to? ”
“…… I want to recruit this gang of thieves for the use of the imperial court. But this Chen Zuyi is cunning and domineering, how can he be willing to share his worries for the court? Zhu Su frowned. If I recruit them to peace, I am afraid that they will not go west to contain the countries of Europa as I wish, but will choose to lie on my Ming body and suck my Ming flesh and blood......"
