Blood from Daming

Chapter 706 Talk about conditions

Yan Zibin, Mizhi County Magistrate, and Guo Jingsong, Jiazhou Defense Procurator, both asked Gao Guiying to make terms. Gao Guiying hurriedly received Yan Zibin and Guo Jingsong, without thinking about how to negotiate terms with the court. Touching Tesna beside her, Tesna knew how to hide behind the screen.

After a while, Tesna slipped into Gao Guiying's ear and whispered softly. Yan Zibin caught the message and aimed his eyes at the row of broken screens, thinking that there was someone behind Gao Guiying who had an idea. Looking at Tessna again, Yan Zibin knew that it was this beautiful young man who had clashed with the Yansui town officers and soldiers. People say that a beauty is a disaster, but in fact a beautiful man is also a disaster. Speaking of which, Mrs. Gao has a good eye and enjoys it. I haven't seen many beautiful boys myself.

Gao Guiying said: "Master Yan, General Guo, I will first say one thing is to severely punish Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town. We will talk about other things after this matter is completed."

Yan Zibin suddenly turned into a bitter face: "Ma'am, I came here for the people of Gaojiajunzhai, Mizhi, and Shaanxi to punish the general soldiers of Yansui Town. Don't say that I dare not hear about it, but the governor Hu Tingyan. If there is nothing you can do, please ask Madam to put forward other conditions."

Guo Jingsong also said: "Madam, Yansui Governor Yue Hesheng Yue Futai also does not have this authority."

Guo Jingsong, a martial artist, let go of his hole cards without paying attention. Gao Guiying stopped talking after hearing this, and Yan Zibin had to test the waters first: "Mrs. Gao, speaking of it, it was a misunderstanding that your Gaojiajunzhai and Yansui Town's officers and soldiers fought. , we are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and it is better to settle enemies than to tie them together. In my opinion, it is better to ask for some benefits from the imperial court, such as giving your brother a promotion to a thousand households, and your wife can also be an official, and you can Report a group of men to eat food and serve as soldiers."

The last time Shaanxi governor Qiao Yingjia agreed to Gao Guiying, but only gave Gao Yigong the vacant title of Deputy Thousand Household. No high-ranking official positions were offered, and when the Shaanxi government's finances were frequently collapsing, it was able to agree to pay salaries according to the establishment. The Shaanxi government undoubtedly made a considerable concession.

Gao Guiying didn't care about these conditions, but she didn't know what Xue Yun meant, so she had to suggest that Tesna went behind the screen and asked Xue Yun. The king of the army was defeated, and Yan Zibin had instructions from Shaanxi, but these conditions are more realistic, and I believe that Shaanxi Governor Hu Tingyan can agree.

Xue Yun didn't want Gao's military village to become a key target of the imperial court and ruin his military expansion plan in Shaanxi. He decided to deal with the relationship between Gao's military village and the Shaanxi government as low-key as possible, so he made three conditions: First, the Gao family's army can accept Gao's meritorious service as a thousand dollars. However, the Gao family army is only the civilian army of Mizhi County and does not accept military missions outside of Mizhi County; secondly, the Yansui Town official army cannot enter within [-] miles of the Gaojia army village, otherwise it will be regarded as The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town had the intention of attacking the Gaojia army village; (Xue Yun originally planned to draw a hundred miles, but in this way, more than half of Jiazhou was crossed out. Xue Yun knew that he couldn't figure it out, so he reduced it to fifty miles. Even so, Yulin was also occupied. , some sites in Jiazhou) The third is to provide compensation for the soldiers who died in the Gaojiajunzhai from Yansui Town or Shaanxi Province.

Tessna relayed the words to Gao Guiying, and Gao Guiying told Yan Zibin these three conditions. Every condition is very difficult. The last time I came to Gaojiajunzhai to negotiate, Mrs. Gao was easier to pinch than carbon circles. If it wasn't for the killing of prisoners by the Yansui Town officers and soldiers, how could it have evolved into the current situation? Yan Zibin was secretly curious about the screen Who is the tall man sitting behind.

So Yan Zibin began to squeeze water: "Madam, the first article is that Gao's army does not accept military missions outside of Mizhi County. I can fight for this article for you, but since it is a soldier of the imperial court, it is only natural to serve the imperial court. I hope Madam can also be more flexible, such as choosing to listen to the tune and not to listen to the editor; the second article is that the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town are not allowed to enter within [-] miles of Gaojiajunzhai. In the places of Yulin and Jiazhou, you should make an announcement to your Gaojiajunzhai; thirdly, for the pensions of the dead soldiers in Gaojiajunzhai, my wife will report a list to this officer, and I will fight for the soldiers of Gaojiajunzhai."

After hearing Yan Zibin's words, Xue Yun secretly thought that none of the Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was a fuel-efficient lamp. In fact, Yan Zibin did not agree to any of his three conditions, and took the opportunity to add Mizhi County to prevent the frontier army from entering. Mizhi County, so that Mizhi County does not have to provide military rations and salaries to Yansui Town. It seems that history’s evaluation of Yan Zibin is very one-sided. If Yan Zibin is very greedy, he should also be very capable and alert .

At this time Gao Guiying spoke: "The first article is that Gao's army has the right to decide whether to listen to the tune, but it will never listen to it; the second article must be notified when entering Yulin and Jiazhou within 25 miles from Gao's army. If you enter within [-] miles of the Gaojiajunzhai, the Gaojiajun will decide to defend on its own; the third article is not to fight for the compensation of the dead soldiers in the Gaojiajunzhai, but to compensate according to the number of people, otherwise I will sell the captives to Mongolia for money to pay off the debt.”

When Yan Zibin and Guo Jingsong heard this, they estimated that this was Gao Guiying's ultimatum. If the discussion continued, not only would it be useless, but it might also cause the negotiation to break down. From Yan Zibin's point of view, one or two items are acceptable, as long as the government The relationship with Gaojiajunzhai has eased, and specific matters can be discussed. Accepting the third article, Shaanxi and Yansui Towns must bleed. It is estimated that Mizhi County will be stabbed. If Gaojiajunzhai is not compensated for a sum of money, Yan Zibin himself will I don't think it's justified, but the current Shaanxi Chengxuan Zhengsi's biggest shortage is money.

The conditions of the two sides are here for the time being. Yan Zibin and Guo Jingsong complimented Mrs. Gao for a while, saying that she uses soldiers like gods, heroines among women, pillars of the country, etc., and finally revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain and asked Gao Guiying to treat the captives kindly. The Suizhen government army and the prefectures and counties' civilian army, Gao Guiying extended his hand without hitting the smiling man and agreed to their request.

So Yan Zibin and Guo Jingsong, accompanied by Gao Yigong, hurriedly bid farewell and went back down the mountain. Yan Zibin asked for this condition on his own initiative, and immediately rushed to Xi'an City to meet the governor Hu Tingyan, hoping to negotiate with Gao's army. However, Guo Jingsong was ordered by magistrate Mao to rush back and report the news to Yue Hesheng, governor of Yansui, to see how Yue Hesheng would handle this difficult matter.

As soon as Yan Zibin and Guo Jingsong left, Xue Yun and Naren Gaowa came out from behind the screen. Gao Guiying pouted and said, "Brother, isn't that a bit cheap, Wang Wei?"

Xue Yun said with a smile: "Sister, Wang Wei will eventually be dismissed and investigated. If we don't give Shaanxi and Yansui a level, it will turn into an endless situation, and the Xue family army is facing Tuxietu Khan and Chaha. The pressure from the Erbu is unable to take into account the Shaanxi side, so the Gaojia Army Village may not be able to gain a foothold in Mizhi."

Although Xue Yun spoke very lightly, Gao Guiying knew that Xue Yun was very angry because of the Tuxietu Khan and Chahar tribes. In order to support these two places, he had to recruit troops in Shaanxi. The battle was not in the interests of the Xue family's army. Gao Guiying had no way to avenge the dead fellow soldiers for the time being.

On the [-]th, several Zhaibao villages sent gifts, and Gao Guiying accepted them without hesitation. Avoiding Xue Yun, Gao Yigong's brother-in-law ran back and forth for everything.

Both Xue Yun's Xue family army and Ah Ruhan's Mongolian army lived at the foot of the mountain, Xue Yun only brought Naren Gaowa and the two soldiers to live in the cottage, but he was lying drunk in Gaotang with a beautiful concubine in his arms, waiting to be collected. The owner of this cottage is a concubine, although it cannot be said to be unique, I am afraid it is very rare in the world.

Not long after Xue Yun got up this morning, Ma Ming came to report the information. Xue Yun sat and talked with Ma Ming in front of the house. Ma Ming told Xue Yun, "General, there is indeed a young man named Li Zicheng in Huaiyuan Castle. Man, I worked as a postman at Mizhi Post Station for a while, and now I am going to Yinchuan Post Station.”

After Xue Yun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he pass by Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng? Could it be that God didn’t want them to die in his hands? Even gods can't stand it.

Ma Ming didn't know what Xue Yun meant by looking for Li Zicheng, so he told Xue Yun: "General, this Li Zicheng was originally named Li Hongji. It is said that his ancestors were from the Xixia Party. He has a protruding forehead, a high nose, and pale yellow eyes. But his daughter-in-law Han Jin'er is a beautiful woman, that's..."

Xue Yun asked: "What is it?"

Ma Ming said: "General, this Han Jin'er has a bad reputation, and everyone knows that he doesn't follow women's ways and attracts bees and butterflies in the countryside."

Xue Yunxin said that with Li Zicheng's little income, how could he support a woman? If Han Jin'er didn't steal people, he would starve to death. It's just that people's names are very important now, and they won't accept the concept of "laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes" more than 300 years later. It is not unusual for a city to sell hundreds of thousands of women.

Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Ma Ming, this Li Zicheng is a very dangerous person, you have to keep an eye on this Li Zicheng, how about this, when this general was in Daming, he caught Li Zicheng and sent him to see this general, if this general leaves Daming There will be orders about Li Zicheng for you."

Ma Ming said: "General, do you want to go to the Yinchuan station?"

Xue Yun shook his hand and said, "No need, keep an eye on Han Jin'er, I'm not afraid that Li Zicheng won't throw himself into the trap."
