Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339 The Temptation of the Devil

Since Huang Qifa heard that Wu Shigong asked him to speak, it meant that there was room for relaxation. He calmed down and said something he had thought of to Wu Shigong: "My lord, in fact, I don't want to turn back. , we people in Dongjiang Town don’t want to rebel. But you should have a deep understanding of why you have come to this point. We are all guest soldiers!”

From the very beginning, Huang Qifa began to win over the relationship between the two armies.He glanced at Wu Shigong out of the corner of his eye, and found that Wu Shigong didn't have any dislike for his words, so he boldly continued: "To this day, in fact, all of us in Dongjiang Town are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. I want to accept the imperial court's offer, but I was rejected by the court's civil officials, which forced Dongjiang Town into this dead end. It is to blame, and also to blame those civil officials."

"I dare to speculate on the situation of adults. Even if adults finally captured Dengzhou City, they made the first contribution. But our Dongjiang Town still has [-] troops in the city. This dog jumping over the wall can still fight against the army of adults." Fight for everything. My lord may be promoted to a noble, but my lord's sons and daughters can't keep a few. You must know that the foundation of our military attache is the army in our hands. If there is no army, even if we are beautiful today, those civil servants will be tomorrow. Didn’t they just round us up and flatten us?”

"That's why today I'm taking the risk to see you, and I hope to have a good relationship with you. Our army in Dongjiang Town and your army will stop fighting, and we don't ask you to let us live, but we hope that the two armies will live in peace. I don't know if you are willing." no?"

Huang Qifa recited all the words he had prepared at once.Then he raised his head, stared at Wu Shigong's face, nervously waiting for Wu Shigong's answer.

But Wu Shigong still looked straight at Huang Qifa, who was kneeling on the ground, and remained silent for a long time. When Huang Qifa felt hairy again, Wu Shigong finally opened his mouth: "I admit it. What you said is indeed reasonable. Many of the contents are indeed correct. But I don’t understand. Now you are in my hands, and I can fire if I want to attack Dengzhou City. You traitors are powerless to resist. So what do you have? How about negotiating the conditions with this official? Or to put it simply, what can you come up with so that this official will not kill you later?"

Wu Shigong didn't follow Huang Qifa's words at all. He had already seen that Huang Qifa was afraid of death and didn't want to die.So why didn't Wu Shigong try his best to break Huang Qifa's weakness of defense and get the best benefit for himself?

But Wu Shigong's words really frightened Huang Qifa.In fact, he could find out when he calmed down a bit, since Wu Shigong was still interested in talking to him.Then it proved that Wu Shigong wanted to negotiate with the rebels.Otherwise, Wu Shigong would have dragged Huang Qiqi out and beheaded him long ago.

Huang Qifa knelt down again and kowtowed again and said: "My lord, please spare me! The two armies meet, so don't cut them off. It's really a kindness for the little one to come! I hope my lord can learn from me! I hope my lord can learn from me!"

Wu Shigong didn't want to see Huang Qifa's ugly behavior anymore, and he didn't want to go around in circles anymore.So Wu Shigong went back to the big case and sat down again, and said, "Okay! You don't want to be so ugly again. I am not a businessman, and I don't like bargaining. You can also say something that is real money. Take it out." Some sincerity of real gold and silver."

After hearing this, Huang Qifa felt relaxed.But he almost collapsed his body to the ground.Huang Qifa barely supported himself and straightened up.Couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, calmed down and said to Wu Shigong: "My lord, what I brought today is a gift for you, my lord. As long as my lord promises not to fire guns into the city of Dengzhou, my little one will come tomorrow." Immediately offer twenty boxes of the same gift."

"Are my cannonballs so cheap?" Wu Shigong said sharply mockingly, "You have robbed so many cities, and you are still thinking about these floating wealth when you die. Are you going to take all these into the coffin? ?”

"My lord's lesson! It's really not many. Let me tell you the truth: if there are, there must be more. But those things are in the private hands of the brothers in the city, and even Marshal Kong and Marshal Geng don't dare to touch them. There is no more." Huang Qifa said.While sizing up Wu Shigong's complexion, he immediately changed his mind and said, "The little one will make the decision once, and I will add another five boxes to the adults. No matter how many more, there is really nothing left!"

"Are you sending the beggar?" Wu Shigong was not polite, "Come here, send this money-hungry head back to Dengzhou City."

"My lord, please don't!" Seeing the soldiers surrounding him, Huang Qifa immediately stood up and struggled, "My lord, just give me thirty boxes. Oh! No! Thirty-five boxes! No more than that! My lord, please spare me! Don’t pull me!”

Wu Shigong waved his hand, stopped the movement of the soldiers, and then said to Huang Qifa with a smile: "At this time tomorrow, send fifty boxes. Can it be done?"

Huang Qifa thought carefully about the goods he saw in the warehouse in the afternoon, and said with a gritted teeth: "Let's go back and collect the small ones. But the small ones must be collected for the adults."

"You can make it together." Wu Shigong said, "Even if you can't make up the goods, you can fill the remaining boxes with gold and silver."

Facing Wu Shigong's smirk, Huang Qifa swallowed a mouthful of his saliva, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty!" Then, Huang Qifa let out a long sigh of relief, finally the negotiation was successful.

But before Huang Qifa could finish his breath, he heard Wu Shigong say again: "However, my cannon still needs to be fired. You also need to be ready in the city, and I will call here on time."

Huang Qifa almost couldn't catch his breath and was about to pass out on the spot.I have already agreed to collect the money, but I still want to shoot. Isn't this military attache playing with himself?

But it's still good, Huang Qifa's mind is still flexible.He changed his mind: This military attache has no reason to play with himself?In addition to being able to get some cat-and-mouse pleasure, doesn't he want those fifty boxes of goods?

That's definitely not right.Huang Qifa, who regained some sobriety, carefully recalled Wu Shigong's words.I found out that there is indeed a great mystery in those words.What Wu Shigong said was "I will call you on time".Doesn't that mean it's very clear?

This army can still fire artillery.But the firing time will be fixed.As long as the army of Dongjiang Town escapes the time of firing artillery in Dengzhou City, isn't it true that the two armies are in peace during other times?

Huang Qifa did not guess wrong this time.Wu Shigong really thought so.In the end, Wu Shigong also had to put on a show in front of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and couldn't show that he had reached an agreement with Kong Youde's rebels.

So after entering the tent, Huang Qifa had some confidence for the first time.As long as the military attache puts forward the conditions, it can basically prove that he has the sincerity to abide by the agreement.Huang Qifa clasped his fists again and said with a smile: "Young one understands. The adults will shoot on time. If there is nothing wrong, the young one will leave. The young one wants to go back to the city to report to Marshal Kong and Geng. Don't miss it." about tomorrow night."

"Don't be so anxious." Wu Shigong also smiled kindly.He then ordered his soldiers, "Bring a chair to this brother, I want to have a good chat with you."

Huang Qifa, who was forcibly retained, felt a little uncomfortable.He sat on the chair directly opposite Wu Shigong, looked at the smile on Wu Shigong's face, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked like a devil's smile.So Huang Qifa felt a little creepy.He felt a little bit on pins and needles.

Wu Shigong's words at this time seemed to have some magnetism.He asked, "What's your name, brother?"

Huang Qifa didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "Mian's surname is Huang. The younger one is named Huang Qifa, and I am ashamed to be the chief executive of Dongjiang Town."

"Oh! Mr. Huang Qian! In fact, what you said just now is correct. My army is a guest army from Henan, so there is no need to fight you to the death. I have also experienced the suffering of guest troops! But Huang Mr. Qian's life is not satisfactory! As far as I know, the previous envoys sent by your traitors were all beheaded by the governor and the military supervisor. But this time, Mr. Huang Qian came to be the deadly envoy , don’t you tell me that you belong to Kong Thief?”

Huang Qifa was shocked when he heard this.He couldn't sit still any longer, stood up with a "whoosh", and explained to Wu Shigong: "Do you want the little one to sacrifice the city? It's not that the little one doesn't want to. The little one only has more than 200 Erlang in his hand now." There are a few colleagues guarding the southern city wall, and their soldiers and horses are much larger than the younger ones, and the younger ones are indeed helpless! Please learn from me!"

"Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!" Wu Shigong pressed his hand, let Huang Qifa sit down with peace of mind, and then said, "I didn't ask you to sacrifice the city. But Mr. Huang Qian is still the one who guards the southern city wall, so that's even better! You I can also see that although I also love some Adu things, I am also a person who keeps my promise. As long as you inform me about the situation in Dengzhou City at that time, I will always benefit from you .”

"This...!?" Huang Qifa was suddenly unsure of the true meaning of Wu Shigong's words, and he couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency, you really don't want to sacrifice the city?"

"What do I want you to do to break Dengzhou City? Even if I attack it, won't the first merit be snatched by civil servants and other Ming troops? I won't do that loss-making business. The official just looks at you Mr. Huang Qian pleasingly, and wants to make Mr. Huang Qian a friend. I swear here that I have absolutely no intention of pushing Mr. Huang into the fire."

"Kill the little one. I don't know how to call this grown-up?"

"My surname is Wu!" Wu Shigong said with a smile.

Huang Qifa looked at the pattern on Wu Shigong's official robe, and then asked, "Wu Dusi. Then why are you looking for the young one?"

"There's nothing else important, I just want to do some business with Mr. Huang Qian!" (To be continued...)
