Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"...General! Our rebels absolutely don't want to offend the general's prestige, think about it!..."

Wu Shigong stared at Feng Weikang who was kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face. Feng Weikang was pretty good at talking, and he had been talking non-stop for half an hour.But Wu Shigong just didn't express his opinion. This attitude made Feng Weikang, who was kneeling on the ground, more and more guilty, and his vest was soaked in cold sweat, which made Feng Weikang almost collapsed now.

In fact, Wu Shigong laughed secretly in his heart, this is really a good thing to give a pillow when he is sleepy!My own Runing army wanted to retreat, but the peasant rebel army on the opposite side also wanted to retreat, and they still gave heavy gifts, crying and begging the Runing army to retreat quickly! .

But Wu Shigong's expression could not reveal this point. If the envoy of the peasant rebel army on the ground saw through his details, then things would be difficult in the future.

Therefore, Wu Shigong had to control his own proportions, that is, to achieve the goal of the Runing Army's retreat, but also to make the envoy feel that he was reluctant to agree, and not allow him to see his own flaws.

"Alright! Alright!" Wu Shigong interrupted Feng Weikang impatiently, and shouted at Feng Weikang pretending to be angry: "You brought some broken copper and rotten iron here in the middle of the night to let Lao Tzu come Do you listen to these great principles? I want to talk to you about the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what you want to do?"

Feng Weikang finally looked forward to Wu Shigong's opening, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "I just want to borrow a way from the general. It's better for us to live in peace!"

"It's safe and sound!" Wu Shigong spat far away, "You are so close to Lao Tzu's territory, do you look safe and sound?"

"I really didn't know the general was here. Our kings have said it, it's just a misunderstanding! As long as the general agrees, our rebels will immediately give way." Feng Weikang explained quickly.

"Get out of the way!" Wu Shigong became more and more rude as he spoke. "Do you want to go to Kaifeng Mansion? Or do you want to go to Nanyang Mansion? There are so many people, how can I feel relieved?"

Hearing Wu Shigong's tone was a little loose, Feng Weikang continued to explain: "So the little one is making an excuse, we will never enter the Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, and we will not even get close. So this time the little one I also brought some small profits to honor you, General! To show the sincerity of our rebel army!"

"What's the sincerity? Just these scraps of metal? Tell you! I'm most annoyed by the dogs barking around my house. I don't care about them jumping outside, but as long as they dare to get close to my territory, I will We have to meet and fight once!"

"That's it! That's it!" Hearing the possibility of reaching an agreement in Wu Shigong's words, Feng Weikang immediately smiled flatteringly, and followed Wu Shigong's words. "We will never go near the general's territory."

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong immediately slapped the big case in front of him heavily, this action made Feng Weikang feel like his heart would jump out of his throat.I only heard Wu Shigong yelling: "Just use some scrap copper and iron to show your sincerity? It is only natural for the officers and soldiers to catch thieves. Why should I lend you the way?"

After hearing the phrase "scrap copper and rotten iron" for the third time, Feng Weikang suddenly understood that the Butcher Wu thought that the money he gave was too little.

So Feng Weikang immediately kowtowed and said: "General, please calm down! General, please calm down! This time our Eight Great Kings said it. The small gifts that I bring now are just greeting gifts, as long as the general is willing to excuse me, then we will give the general another [-] taels!"

"Crack!" Feng Weikang immediately heard Wu Shigong slap a big note again. "Are you sending the beggar? I'm only worth so much money? You don't need to say anything, tell Zhang thief or something to wash his neck and wait for me to kill him. See off!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Feng Weikang was so regretful that his guts were green. Although Zhang Xianzhong asked him to bargain step by step and try to pay Wu Shigong less money, why did he do this?The saved money did not fall into his own pocket, but if he failed to make a deal, it would really kill him!

So Feng Weikang immediately showed his hole card: "The little one hasn't finished talking. The previous 3 taels were given by the Eight Great Kings, and the other big kings also combined to give the general 5 taels. The total is 5 taels! [-] Two!"

Wu Shigong seemed to have dissipated his anger, he snorted contemptuously, and said, "Zhang Xianzhong is such a great name! Gezuo Fifth Battalion is also such a great name! Over the years, the money he has robbed is no less than a hundred dollars. Ten thousand, now take out fifty thousand to send me off. Hmph! Don’t say that I won’t give you a chance. One price! 8 taels! If you don’t have money, you can use other treasures to offset the price. I will give you a day tomorrow to think about it. If you don’t send it, I will send troops to fight the day after tomorrow! Listen up! There is only one chance, if you don’t give it tomorrow, I will come and take it myself with a knife and gun!”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I will definitely bring the general's words with me." Feng Weikang now agrees to everything before saying anything.

"Also!" Wu Shigong continued, "Runing Mansion, Guide Mansion, and Ye County are all Lao Tzu's territories. Don't get close to them for fifty miles. Ruzhou City and Nanyang Fu City cannot be moved, otherwise, Lao Tzu will send troops again Let's fight with you forever. It's over. Get out!"

After Feng Weikang left, Wu Shigong immediately called Tao Xin in.Immediately arrange for the entire battalion to send double posts, and take close precautions. At this time, the peasant rebel army took advantage of their carelessness to come to steal the camp.

After Feng Weikang went back to report to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was surprised by Wu Shigong's greed.However, this basically dispelled his doubts, thinking that Wu Shigong was indeed a money-grubbing military officer.

And the next day the situation was even more wrong.The Runing Army sent double cavalry detachments to monitor all the activities of the Peasant Rebel Army. Even the Runing Army's camp was sharpened, as if it was about to prepare for a decisive battle.

So after discussing with other leaders, Zhang Xianzhong simply sent the property worth 8 taels of silver over.Anyway, the problem that can be solved with money is not a big problem.Besides, these properties are not gold and silver, they are mostly antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and precious stones. It is difficult to sell the stolen goods. It is only a cabbage price for Shanxi merchants who sell weapons to the peasant rebel army. It is better to sell them all this time. .

Now Zhang Xianzhong and the others expect Wu Shigong to keep his promise.Unexpectedly, things went quite smoothly.After the agreement, both sides retreated [-] miles on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and another [-] to [-] miles on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Then the Runing army returned to Ye County, and the peasant rebel army also temporarily returned to Henan Prefecture. (To be continued..)
