Chapter 436: The situation is deadlocked
To recruit security, we must first ensure "safety", so that we can recruit people.
If you don't disrupt the people under Tao Lian's hands and let them get together, it will be a matter of time before a dissenting rebellion will arise. The Tao Lian faction is the Wako, among which in addition to the Chinese, there are also Nanyang natives, and even a small number of wandering warriors from Dongying.
They did not understand the language with the soldiers of the imperial court, and their customs were different, so they knew how many conflicts would arise when they thought about it. If you don't divide it and turn it in, it will not be recruiting security, but luring wolves into the room.
The imperial court didn't want to lure wolves into the house, and Tao Lian and the others naturally didn't want to be dismantled and eaten. Among the people they came to negotiate this time, Shui Sanzi was the "urgent vanguard", and he expressed any dissatisfaction first, and this time was no exception, while he shouted not to do it, he also took the opportunity to step on Qiu Wugang.
Qiu Wugang saw that he was pointing the finger at himself again, and immediately replied unceremoniously: "You don't want to see me, I don't want to see you yet." Just like you, even if you are assigned to Shaoxingwei, you are just a little ten-master, just carrying water and doing chores under me, do you really think you can be a general? ”
Shui Sanzi exploded as soon as he was agitated, and glared at him angrily: "I'm bah! You are a martial artist, who is the father to do things under you? You dream less! ”
"What's wrong with my Wu Pifu? You're still a pirate and a thief, not even a martial artist! What's more, it's me, a martial artist, who beats you all over the ground looking for teeth! Have you forgotten the sneak attack on our camp in May this year? More than 300 people came, and only more than 10 returned, and the rats are not as weak as you! ”
As he spoke, Qiu Wugang laughed contemptuously.
This laughter sounded extremely harsh to Shui Sanzi, and he suddenly became anxious: "How many times have we all said that we didn't do the sneak attack!" It was Gao Shishu who wanted to stir up Huang Zhao'an, deliberately attacked your camp, and then blamed us! ”
Qiu Wugang relied on his tall stature and looked at him condescendingly: "Those widows are wearing the clothes of your Tao Family Gang, and they are also wearing the emblem of your Tao Family Gang, which I have seen with my own eyes, do you still want to deny it?" ”
At the negotiation table, pulling and pulling, no matter how noisy the group of people are, it is also to fight for more benefits for themselves, but it is not their business, they don't want to take the blame.
A dark color flashed in Yu Jingming's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "General Qiu, don't mention anything else, but the sneak attack in May really wasn't done by us." At that time, the imperial court had already released the news of Zhao'an, and we intended to join it, so how could we take the initiative to attack the camp? If we had done it, we wouldn't have the face to sit at the negotiating table. ”
"Not necessarily."
The political envoy Ning Yuan interjected lightly, and then said unhurriedly: "According to the information we have obtained, on the ninth day of the first month of November, that is, a month ago, the Tao gang leader had a meeting with Gao Shishu, and they talked secretly until the middle of the night, and it is unknown what they talked about. ”
"Since you said that the sneak attack was caused by Gao Shishu, if you really have the heart to belong to the imperial court, you should be inseparable from him, why can you still sit down and chat calmly?"
As he spoke, Ning Yuan turned to Tao Lian, who had not spoken much, and his eyes were deep: "Gao Shishu originally committed a capital crime in our dynasty and fled overseas in fear of the crime. What is the attitude of the imperial court towards the Gao faction's widows, the Tao gang leader should know very well, we can talk to you about Zhao'an, but we will definitely not talk about Zhao'an with the Gao thief. ”
"On the ninth day of November, less than a month before the negotiations, Governor May has already agreed with you on the time and place of the negotiations. Why did the Tao Gang mainly meet with Gao Shishu, who had always stood on the opposite side of the imperial court, at this juncture? What are you plotting? ”
Tao Lian's eyes flashed weakly, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he squeezed out a dry smile: "...... The political envoy laughed, there is no conspiracy, I have never seen Gao Shishu at all. Maybe...... It was the adults who were deceived by people with bad intentions and mistakenly believed the false news, which is simply a misunderstanding. ”
Ning Yuan chuckled lightly, and said sarcastically: "If the Tao Gang Leader talks like this, it will be meaningless. The court recruited peace out of sincerity, we treat each other with sincerity, but we don't want the Tao gang leader to promise us in the front, and then I met Gao Shishu, and I still hide something from us, is this your sincerity? ”
Tao Lian looked embarrassed, the beads of sweat on his forehead seeped faster, and he was speechless.
The situation was at a stalemate.
was silent for a long time, seeing that the negotiations were about to break up unhappily, Yu Jingming broke the deadlock with his face: "...... So what, I see that everyone is tired too, why don't we rest and rest, have a cup of tea, and continue later? ”
Only two quarters of an hour have passed since the negotiations began, and it would be too far-fetched to say that I am tired now. Before, Shui Sanzi was arrogantly provocative, and he didn't get tired of scolding at the negotiation table, but now he was caught and said that he was tired, so don't be too ironic.
Gu Yunji sneered in his heart, and simply followed his words and said, "I think so, then let's rest and rest." Didn't we also prepare a drill, just taking advantage of this break to let the people under us move their muscles and bones, and let's change our mood. ”
For a long time, the imperial court in the southeast to resist the Japanese are weak, some time ago when Tao Lian and others proposed to see the anti-Japanese formation, Mei Feng also pushed back, looking very hesitant, as if he was afraid that the time would lose the exercise and lose face, not to mention, the initiative at the negotiation table was gone.
Therefore, in Yu Jingming's opinion, the imperial court should be very unconfident about the exercise, but he didn't want Gu Yunji to be so active, so he took the initiative to mention the exercise.
Sure enough, it's a young man, but he can't hold it.
Yu Jingming was overjoyed in his heart, for fear that Gu Yunji would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "That relationship is good, let's relax, what do the rest of you think?" ”
To Yu Jingming's surprise, Mei Feng, who had always been calm, also nodded, and had no objection to this.
Yu Jingming couldn't help but feel strange, and subconsciously exchanged glances with Shui Sanzi next to him: Most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are waste straw bales, if they see the Japanese Kou, seven out of ten people are scared and weak, this time they are so proactive, what is the backhand?
Shui Sanzi understood the concerns in Yu Jingming's eyes, but he didn't care about these twists and turns, he was deflated at the negotiation table before, he couldn't wait to get back to the field at this time, when he stood up, he looked at a few people provocatively: "This time, I will be the commander of our side, which of you will fight against me?" ”
Su Qi also stood up and looked at him sharply: "I'll come." ”
Shui Sanzi smiled contemptuously: "Xiao Guogong, don't blame me for not reminding you, the people under my hands are all licking blood from the tip of a knife, although today is just a drill, and it won't hurt your life." But it's hard to ensure that there is no seriousness under your hands, so don't hurt you when the time comes. ”
Su Qiyun is light and light, and his momentum is not weak: "It is not certain who will hurt whom." ”
Shui Sanzi's eyes flashed, and he was instantly aroused by his belligerent blood: "Okay, then let's try!" ”
"Pass the order, let the brothers get ready, let's have a good 'discussion' and 'discussion' with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!"
