Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 140 Extravagant Asking Prices

He Jinzhao's flexible moral bottom line makes Chen Qiyu feel difficult.

Because Ming officials also have a flexible moral bottom line.

The two of them can be said to be king against king, general against general, and match up.

Moreover, Chen Qiyu could not continue to stand on the moral high ground to condemn He Jinzhao.

Be careful that people directly lift the table with you.

Once the table is lifted, according to the current situation, only Chen Qiyu will be injured.

Given that everyone's moral bottom line is not high, coupled with the threat of men being left and right, Chen Qiyu can finally speak human words.

"What exactly do you mean?"

"What do you mean? It was the officers and soldiers who offered to negotiate a peace!"

When He Jinzhao asked back, he was also disdainful in his heart, because he knew that the civil servants of Ming Dynasty did not have much credibility.

The so-called negotiations are all fake drops, all of which are water mixed with iced black tea.

Chen Qiyu sighed, Hong Chengchou told him the truth, he didn't intend to engage in any peace talks at all, he just talked about it to fool him.

After all, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty fooled the masters.

You know I'm fooling you.

I know you know I'm fooling you, and no one takes it seriously.

But the problem is, now the rebels are taking it seriously for the first time.

Breaking this tacit understanding in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom made people speechless.

He Jinzhao's move caught Hong Chengchou by surprise.

If Yang He, the governor of the three sides, hadn't come in person, Hong Chengchou could just pretend that this didn't happen.

However, He Jinzhao's choice of this time point was really a coincidence.

This made Hong Chengchou unable to cover the sky with one hand.

"What conditions do you want to make?"

He Jinzhao waved his hand, making several strong men back down, and said with a smile on his face:

"Master Chen knows that it's useless for me to overwhelm others, so don't play with me as an official. I'm not used to you."

Chen Qiyu's fist hidden under the cloak hardened!
He Jinzhao, the traitor, is young, but has a lot of thoughts.

"Er Hu, show him our conditions."

He Jinzhao shouted, while Liu Erhu picked up a folded piece of paper from the table with heavy steps.

He put it on a table with care, and then gave Chen Qiyu a fierce look.

Chen Qiyu's heart skipped a beat for the threat of men being left and right, it was so exciting.

Although Ming officials also have the habit of being masculine, they are not passive!

Chen Qiyu opened the origami and looked at the conditions listed by He Jinzhao.

Five thousand mules and horses, one hundred thousand catties of forage beans.

It must be equipped with saddles, head locks, girdles, belly rolls, wooden stumbles, bridle ropes, horse stakes, and grass guillotines.

One thousand sets of armor and three thousand sets of bows and crossbows.

There are [-] big arrows and [-] sharp waist knives.

There are [-] bowstrings and [-] sets of double inserts (bow bag quiver).

1 coconut scoops (a kettle made of coconut shell, standard equipment for Qi Jiajun).

[-] pairs of iron-pointed shoulder poles (special for firemen, you can use iron points to poke people when facing the enemy.)
Chen Qiyu rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the conditions listed by He Jinzhao.

What the hell is this not robbery?
Even the army outside the city does not have this standard equipment.

This cost more than the elite Guan Ning cavalry outside the pass.

There are only a few servants outside the city who are worthy of two horses and one person.

Just for this, I have to bring auxiliary soldiers to serve and help carry luggage, equipment and weapons.

On weekdays, I don't want to ride a horse when I walk, so I can only walk.

That's right, raising horses is so expensive!
Not only is it delicious and delicious to serve, but it also has to be used leisurely.

"Are you in the attitude of negotiating peace?"

Chen Qiyu slapped the white paper on the table.

As long as these things are really provided for He Jinzhao, then he can do whatever he wants in Shaanxi.

Maybe it's not just in Shaanxi, it's not impossible to go directly to Beijing.

"Peace talks, peace talks, aren't the conditions all negotiated?"

He Jinzhao fiddled with his fingers: "Now that I have made an offer, Master Chen must not be able to make the decision.

You can give feedback to your immediate superior when you go back, and I will wait for your news. "

"Hmph, the imperial court will not agree to you."

"Can you represent the imperial court or represent Daming to have an equal dialogue with me?"

Facing He Jinzhao's rhetorical question, Chen Qiyu lost the last bit of affection he had for He Jinzhao.

This son is too young and energetic, and he doesn't understand interpersonal communication at all.

Equal dialogue, you deserve it too!

"Don't deal with those falsehoods, you may be able to deceive others.

Lie to me, a rebel, be careful, I will show you a good show, and I will give you all the ashes. "

Chen Qiyu tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart.

He is a scholar-bureaucrat with a very noble status.

Now condescending and condescending, risking his life to have an equal dialogue with the rebels, the result is this kind of treatment!
He Jinzhao looked at Chen Qiyu whose chest was heaving and heaving: "Master Chen, it's not you who decides, you can object, but it's up to you to bring the words forward.

Otherwise, I will lead the army and fight out to see if Yang He is willing to make the situation in Shaanxi even more corrupt. "

Chen Qiyu was at a loss for words, because he knew that Yang He had just told Emperor Chongzhen not long ago, claiming credit for saying that the civil uprising in Shaanxi would be brought under control soon.

If the people in Shaanxi cannot be effectively controlled and Yang He is held accountable, he will definitely find trouble with the person who caused him trouble before the emperor finds him.

Don't think that Shangguan is very kind to you. If you stab Lou Zi, let him take the blame and wait to wear small shoes.

"See off." He Jinzhao waved his hand.

In the end, Chen Qiyu did not escape the result of being a man on the left and right, and was tightly clamped by a strong man and sent out of the city.

"how?"

After the people left, He Jinzhao also began to ask about the situation of the Ming army camp.

Hong Chengchou wanted to inquire about the situation in Ganquan County, and He Jinzhao also wanted to inquire about the situation of the Ming army outside the city.

He Zan then told He Jinzhao what he saw and heard in the Ming army camp.

"Hahaha." He Jinzhao stood up and took two steps:

"Now I can confirm that the Ming army outside the city fears my name."

"Hey hey." Liu Erhu also laughed, Gou Guanjun is really a coward.

"Then Yang He is determined to appease him."

"Correct."

He Jinchao did two chest expansion exercises, but Hong Chengchou said he wanted to negotiate a peace.

In the case of war, it is usually after the autumn harvest, so that the supply of food and grass is available, even if it is eaten by the enemy, it can still eat the food stored by the local people.

"But the team leader's conditions are too high." He Zan said with some concern: "Will Yang He think that the team leader has no intention of negotiating peace?"

"Excessive asking prices and paying back the money on the ground, this is the means of negotiating business." He Jinzhao pointed to the officers and soldiers outside the city and said:
"Maybe, what they want from the higher-ups is even harder than what we want!"

He Zan felt that what the captain said was quite reasonable, because the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty dared to ask for money like this.

Chen Qiyu left Ganquan County in a hanging basket in shock and humiliation.

He glanced at Ganquan County behind him, remembered He Jinzhao's face, clutched the note in his hand, and entered the Ming army's camp angrily.
