Blood from Daming

Chapter 576 Exchange
Lu Yaojin saw Mu Ketan's ashen-hearted look, and sighed secretly that these Tartars still hadn't lost their wildness, and they were sent to the Xue's army barracks by the North Korean army, and they immediately became confused. However, this does not mean that the two sides have no leverage to negotiate with each other. It seems that Amin was also seriously ill and went to the doctor indiscriminately, so he found a guy with a hoe to play with embroidery needles.

Lu Yaojin asked: "How do you Amin want you to negotiate?"

Mu Ketan didn't expect General Xue Jiajun to ask, and he felt a little more relaxed, but Mu Ketan didn't have the idea of ​​negotiating with Xue Jiajun at all in his mind, so Mu Ketan had no choice but to express his plan for negotiation on the surface. Anyway, it's all negotiations, let's see the other party's reaction after talking.

Muktan asked: "May I ask the general's name and surname."

Li Gui, Deputy Marshal of the North Korean Army, said: "Mu Ketan, listen carefully, the person seated here is Lu Yaojin, the famous general of the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty."

Mu Ketan nodded and said: "It turns out that he is General Lu who is stationed in North Korea. He will be famous for a long time, but he just saw his true face today. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Lu Yaojin said kindly, "Muktan, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Mu Ketan said: "General Lu, the banner owner of my family is willing to exchange the captured North Korean soldiers for my Jurchen people. Please, General Lu."

Lu Yaojin smiled and said: "Exchanging prisoners is a good thing, and it complies with the goodness of heaven. You can discuss it with Deputy Marshal Li. This general will definitely make it happen."

Mu Ketan didn't expect Lu Yaojin to be so eloquent, and wondered how such a good thing would happen, but now that the arrow was on the line, Mu Ketan had no choice but to ask Li Gui in front of the Xue family's general: "Marshal Li, my banner owner is willing to exchange a North Korean soldier. What does Marshal Li think of the two Jurchen women?"

Li Gui was stunned for a moment and said, "Mu Ketan, this commander is planning to exchange a Houjin woman for two soldiers. How do you see the sky-high price?"

Mu Ketan listened to Yimu and said: "Marshal Li, you don't think that two of your soldiers are worth the price of a woman in our Jin country. Isn't this too insulting to your North Korean soldiers? If this If the word spreads, I am afraid it will be ridiculed by the people of the world."

Li Gui was robbed by Mu Ketan, he hesitated for a while, so Li Gui cast his eyes on Lu Yaojin, but Lu Yaojin didn't want to waste more words with Mu Ketan, a tartar, because of these verbal disputes. He gave a slight nod to Zuo Ming who was on the side, Zuo Ming understood that it was Big Brother Lu who wanted to come out and sing bad faces.

Zuo Ming stood up and said, "Hey, it turns out that the Jurchen women are worthless, Deputy Commander Li, why don't you pay the price of this officer and general, and the general will increase the price by [-]%. How about buying it?"

Li Gui saw Zuo Ming coming out to argue, so he booed together: "General Zuo, I didn't expect that there are two families to do this business. How about it, which one of yours has a higher price, I will make a deal with whichever one."

After hearing this, Mu Ketan said angrily: "Li Gui, what do you want to do? Don't you want those soldiers?"

Yi Chaofang, a soldier of ten thousand soldiers, said: "Those soldiers are full of wine bags and rice bags. It is really not a pity to die. Whether they die or live, they can only be resigned to fate."

Seeing that the two generals of the North Korean Army didn’t care about their own soldiers, Mu Ketan was at a loss for what to do. He didn’t know how to negotiate with the North Korean and Ming people, so he gritted his teeth and said directly: “You people are really troublesome. How about changing a soldier for a woman, or if it doesn't work, it's just a matter of breaking up."

Zuo Ming smiled and said: "It seems that you are a quick-tempered person, um, what is the name of this Mu Ke, as many North Korean soldiers as you have in your hand, we will replace as many as you have."

Muktan said: "There are still two or three thousand soldiers. When can you replace them?"

Zuo Ming turned his face to Li Gui and said, "Deputy Marshal Li, there are not so many Jurchen women to exchange."

Li Gui quickly agreed: "Yes, we have so many women, as long as our soldiers come back, I promise not to send them a woman with a blue flag."

After hearing this, Zuo Ming said to Mu Ketan: "Okay, just change one by one. When you are ready, you can notify our Xue Jiajun to start the exchange. Don't play tricks. When the time comes, your people will die, and our Xue Jiajun will die." Half fur is irrelevant."

Mu Ketan nodded and asked again: "Don't worry, the banner owner of my family is sincere, but for the remaining women of our Jurchen tribe, can we exchange the blue flag with cattle, sheep and horses?"

Zuo Ming was silent for a while and said: "Let's exchange these 2000 people first. If your Jianbu encounters Korean soldiers and Ming soldiers, you can send them to continue to exchange, but don't abuse these soldiers, otherwise we can't guarantee you. The safety of the Jurchens."

Mu Ketan stomped his feet, saluted the Xue family army and the North Korean army in the tent, and then took his leave and left the Xue family army barracks. Li Gui thanked: "General Lu and General Zuo, this time they can be exchanged from Houjinda bandits. The soldiers who returned to our country all depended on the might of the Xue family army and several generals."

Lu Yaojin shook his hand and said: "This is because you have a bargaining chip in the hands of North Korea. You don't need to be so polite. After you go back, you will transfer the goods and the servants first. I am afraid that Jianlu's negotiation this time will not be as simple as it seems on the surface. .”

Li Gui asked Yi Chaofang and others to go back and arrange for the materials and personnel of the rear camp of the Korean army to cross the river. Wu Yang went to the First Fleet "Yangtze River" because he wanted to inform his second brother Wu Dahai to cooperate with the Korean army's crossing of the river, and then returned to his "Yangtze River". The battleship "Yellow River" led the Second Fleet to continue to the lower reaches of the Yalu River, and assisted the Second Fleet there to rescue soldiers of the Korean Army along the river.

Before Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, and Tao Yaofu could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Xingzuo, a guerrilla general of the Dongjiang Army, came to see him. Liu Xingzuo was Zuo Ming's relative. Since Lu Yaojin came, Zuo Ming couldn't speak It was very helpful, but Lu Yaojin was very dissatisfied with the Dongjiang Army because of Mao Zongzhen's capture of Zuo Ming, and he was even lukewarm towards Liu Xingzuo.

Liu Xingzuo has been restless these two days. Thinking about it, the North Korean army behind the Dongjiang Army was attacked by the Jianlu Xianglan Banner Department. How can there be a good one in the state? I don't know what is going on with Mao Zongzhen and the others now.

All Liu Xingzuo came to ask Xue Jiajun to support the Dongjiang Army on the one hand, and on the other hand to inquire about the news of the Dongjiang Army. The general town has their news.

Liu Xingzuo squeezed into the tent of the Chinese army, saluted Lu Yaojin and said: "General Lu, the last general is worried about the safety of the Dongjiang Army, so he came to inquire about Mao Zongzhen and them. I don't know if General Lu has any information about this." information."

Lu Yaojin said: "There are really some news today. There are rumors that most of the Dongjiang Army's luggage team has been safely transferred to Zhenjiang City. In addition, the Dongjiang Army's fleet has arrived near Gaizhou. I believe that Mao Zongzhen and Dongjiang Army should be safe and sound. .”

Liu Xingzuo said: "General Lu, although the Dongjiang Army and the Xue Family Army have some misunderstandings, they are all officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty after all, and they should support each other. Please, General Lu, can give Dongjiang Army a hand for the sake of Ming Dynasty. "

Lu Yaojin said: "General Liu, you've said too much. Our Xue's army has never been ambiguous in fighting the Tartars. If we can help the Dongjiang army, our Xue's army is duty-bound. It's just that the Xue's army has fought repeatedly and is now a tired army that lacks bullets. We can only rely on the artillery of the navy to fight against the Jianlu, and there is nothing we can do to rescue the Dongjiang army."

Liu Xingzuo said anxiously: "General Lu, Dongjiang Army and Xue's Army jointly attacked the hinterland of Jianlu. This was proposed by General Zuo. Now you Xue's army has let go of your hands. Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing bridges?"

Lu Yaojin said: "General Lu, you can't say that. If you, Mr. Mao, hadn't made waves, our Xue family army would have stayed with us to the end. Maybe Gaizhou and Haizhou are already in the pockets of our two armies. Now we In front of the Xue family's army, there are one or two soldiers and horses with the blue flag inlaid with Jianlu, would you ask this general to fly over to rescue the Dongjiang army?"

Liu Xingzuo was really anxious: "General Lu, what about our Dongjiang Army?"

Lu Yaojin said: "General Liu, don't worry. According to the intelligence of the prisoners of the Jianlu Xianglan Banner, it is the Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner soldiers and horses led by Jianlu Dabeile Daishan who attacked the Dongjiang Army. The time should be the ninth day of the lunar new year. However, what is the current situation of the Dongjiang Army, I believe that the battle between the Dongjiang Army and Jianlu is over, even if we rush over, it will be too late."
