At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

At this juncture, the most important thing is to obtain enough military exploits so that when Lord Sun is making progress, he can also make progress.

Therefore, the wealth in Guangzhou is not particularly important to Wang Ziqi himself.

As long as we can capture Guangzhou as soon as possible, we can march into Jiangxi and Fujian and gain military exploits.

It doesn't matter if Wang Ziqi doesn't have any money in Guangzhou.

But that’s what he thinks, but the people under his command don’t think so!

If they worked so hard to capture Guangzhou and ended up not getting even a few taels of silver, how could Guangdong's 100,000-strong army stand it?

That's all, after all, Ku Yiku's subordinate Wang Ziqi is not incapable of doing it.

Given the current situation, it would be better to just grab some money and give it some sweetness.

The person under his hand can naturally be suppressed.

But the most important thing is that if Wang Ziqi takes advantage of the Pingnan and Jingnan vassals, the Sun Kingdom Master might have some objections to this!

Although Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao defeated Li Dingguo, they have always been underestimated by Sun Kewang.

The leader of the country took the two of them into Guangzhou without any effort.

If I take advantage of these two people in order to capture Guangzhou as soon as possible, I might be underestimated by Lord Sun.

Moreover, most of the wealth in Guangzhou belongs to Sun Kewang.

After all, the Jiaqian Army was different from other armies. Although Lord Sun rewarded his soldiers later, most of the spoils of every battle went into the hands of his old man.

I remember that after the victory in Guilin, Li Dingguo sent several bundles of ginseng to Sun Guozhu.

Sun Guozhu exploded directly in Guiyang.

Wang Ziqi knew that although his king was heroic, he was very shrewd in his calculations.

If he really wanted to win Guangzhou as soon as possible and express himself, causing Sun Guozhu to lose a thousand or eight million, his own king would be in a bad mood.

He put the cart before the horse.

Not only that, Sun Kewang has always had no good impressions of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, especially Pingnan Fan, and he did not hesitate to get rid of them quickly.

As early as in Hunan, Sun Kewang had warned him to kill Shang Kexi if he had the chance.

If this was revealed lightly, it would be difficult for him to explain it.

Therefore, Guangzhou must be captured as soon as possible, and then invade Jiangxi and Fujian to gain military exploits.

At the same time, he has to raise several million to donate to his country's master.

It's better to take another head that is still gratifying.

In this way, the prince's title is almost certain.

When Wang Ziqi thought of these, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"The city of Guangzhou is strong, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao are killing people for food, and the elite soldiers of the two vassals have not lost their combat effectiveness for the time being."

"If our army rushes to attack, we will suffer heavy losses and risk defeat!" He spoke slowly and said in a deep voice.

Ai Chengye and others had different expressions when they heard this.

Ai Chengye, the King of Yan'an, doesn't matter. After all, he has inherited his father's title, and it's not easy to be promoted to a one-word king.

Whether Guangzhou wins early or late is not particularly important.

But Wang Ziqi's cronies were anxious. If they captured Guangzhou at night and their leadership couldn't make progress, how could they make progress?

All of a sudden, various voices sounded in the big tent.

The generals either suggested a violent attack, or wanted to recruit surrender, or they said nothing.

"It is not easy for our army to attack by force, and we urgently need to capture Guangzhou. Then we will gather the strength of Guangdong and Guangxi to capture Ganzhou in the north and march east to Fujian!"

Wang Ziqi looked around at the generals and said, "That's why I decided to send someone to send Shang Fan's surrender letter to Geng Jimao in the city."

"Except for the property outside the city, I agree to all Geng Jimao's conditions!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the generals lit up.

If Shang Fan sends people to surrender, how can Geng Fan fare better?

Geng Jimao had sent people to contact him a few days ago, and the conditions they proposed were similar to those of Shang Fan.

Since Wang Ziqi wanted to capture Guangzhou again, he had to find money again.

Then have a good talk with Geng Fan, try to lower the conditions, and then kill Shang Fan as a fat pig.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Zhongwu Town, and Gao Fengxiang, the commander-in-chief of Weiwu Town, spoke first.

All the generals also praised Wang Ziqi for his brilliant strategy.

Guangzhou will not be able to capture this for a short time if Geng and Geng vassal forces work together.

But if they fully accept their demands, Guangzhou will win, but it will be too cheap for them.

Therefore, recruiting a feudal lord to surrender and killing a feudal lord became the best choice.

Compared with Shang Fan, who came into contact later, Geng Fan is undoubtedly a better choice.

Geng Jimao's father, Geng Zhongming, was forced to death by the Qing Dynasty. In terms of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, Geng Fan was undoubtedly much lower than Shang Fan.

"Your Majesty, Geng Fan has been plundering Guangdong for many years. Even if he only retains their property in the city, it will be too cheap for him. It is better to lock him in another million yuan. With Shang Fan's surrender letter, I am not afraid that they will not agree."

"If Geng Jimao doesn't agree, we will contact Shang Fan again. In short, even if these fake Tatars are immortal, we have to let them shed their skin!" Ai Chengye said.

Wang Ziqi thought for a while, then said: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

That night, Wang Ziqi, who had made the decision, sent an envoy to Guangzhou city to contact Geng Fan.

After learning that Wang Ziqi was coming, Geng Jimao quickly met with the visitor.

"What! Shang Kexi actually sent someone to look for you!" In the lobby, everyone in Geng Fan stared at him.

Geng Jimao even took a breath, thinking that Shang Kexi, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had also rebelled against our Qing Dynasty!

"That's not true. King Pingnan is unwilling to surrender, but his generals are unwilling to fight." The messenger smiled slightly and handed Shang Fan's letter of surrender to Geng Jimao.

"Shameless!" Geng Jimao was furious when he saw it. Shang Fan actually wanted to sell him and regarded Geng Jimao and Geng Fan as a pledge of surrender.

When the two vassals guard the city, they work together to overcome the crisis.

Shang Fan actually planned to betray his teammates!

This, this, this... is outrageous!

After hearing this, all Geng Fan generals became furious and reprimanded Shang Fan one after another.

The envoy secretly felt funny when he saw this. These people were scolding their teammates for betraying them, but weren't they doing this kind of thing themselves?

"Ban Zhifu, Wu Jinzhong, You Yunlong, I will kill you all!" Geng Jimao said angrily and harshly.

"Your Majesty, if Shang Fan is like this, no wonder we killed him!" Liu Jinzhong said gloomily. This Liu Jinzhong was Geng Jimao's right-hand deputy general. Historically, he was retained as the commander-in-chief of Chaozhou when Geng Fan moved to Fujian.

Later, after Prince Geng Jingzhong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Fujian, he was the first person to raise the flag of righteousness in Guangdong.

He and Zu Zeqing went east and west, and they made it happy to have flowers blooming left and right.

In this situation, Liu Jinzhong, who was not very loyal to the Qing Dynasty, naturally advocated for it.

"Your Majesty, Shang Fan already wants to attack me, Geng Fan. Only by attacking first can we and our brothers survive!"

Xu Degong, the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Jingnan vassal, spoke solemnly.

For a time, Geng Fan veterans such as Liu Jinzhong and Xu Degong, as well as Geng Fan rookies such as Ma Jiuyu, Bai Xianzhong, Zeng Yangxing, Jiang Yuanxun, etc. all spoke up, all supporting Geng Fan anyway.

These final ministers of the Qing Dynasty who had shaken half of the southeast in history were not willing to be buried with the Qing Dynasty in the city of Guangzhou.

If the conditions hadn't been agreed upon, they would have offered the city long ago!

"Your Majesty, I wonder what King Fengjie means?" Geng Jimao cupped his hands.

"King Jingnan, the king once said that Shang Kexi in Guangdong is an unrepentant traitor, and the prince is a Han after all. Others may not be able to abandon the secret and turn to the light." The messenger smiled:

"Your Majesty asked me to hand over Shang Fan's letter of surrender to King Jingnan to show my sincerity."

"If this is not the case, the prince can cooperate with Shang Fan and kill you Geng Fan soldiers."

"Yes, I am so lucky to be praised by the king and respected by King Fengjie!" Geng Jimao wiped his sweat and said.

Now in Guangdong, whoever Wang Ziqi chooses will live, and the other party will die.

Geng Jimao naturally knew that he could no longer wait and sell.

Otherwise, if Wang Ziqi is made anxious, he will die without a place to bury himself.

"Prince Geng, the Tatars forced your father to death. Regardless of whether you are the king or the prince, you can rest assured about Geng Fan."

"It's just that the conditions you proposed must be lowered, otherwise the prince will not be able to explain to the king." The messenger said seriously.

"Yes, yes." Geng Jimao nodded like he was pounding garlic and said: "I dare not be extravagant about Geng Fan's property outside the city, but I still have the family property in the city and the position and organization. I still ask King Fengjie to protect it. "

"This is natural." The envoy smiled and said: "Anyway, Geng Fan's post-war treatment is equal to that of the former army. Geng Fan's officers and men can divide the territory in Guangdong according to the standards of the former army. It's just that the prince has something to ask King Jingnan for help."

As soon as these words came out, Geng Fan's officers and men all smiled.

Although compared with the circled land, according to the standards of the Jiaqian Army, there were not many soldiers at the bottom, but these generals were seriously damaged.

But in the current situation, Shang Fan has already negotiated terms with Wang Ziqi. If Geng Fan doesn't know what's good, he will destroy himself.

"King Fengjie has another request. It's okay for the envoy to just say it!" Geng Jimao said quickly.

"Before I arrived, the heavenly soldiers had been besieging Guangzhou for a long time. They were short of food and wages. I would like to ask Geng Fan to help with two million dollars in wages!" the envoy said slowly.

"What!" When Geng Jimao and others heard this, their expressions changed instantly.

Even if those who have surrendered since ancient times have not been promoted to nobility, they should still retain their positions and properties.

This was Jiang Yu's treatment, but she eventually turned against him.

Anyway, Geng Fan sacrificed Guangzhou and paid two million in aid. How can this be justified?

"What? Doesn't the prince agree?" the messenger smiled.

Geng Jimao's face was filled with uncertainty when he heard this. He could afford the two million, but it would be too cowardly to just take it out like this!

"Your Majesty, we, the Geng Fans, can't make a living by guarding Jinshan. We might as well offer it to King Fengjie so that our brothers can protect their families." Liu Jinzhong was the first to speak.

Many Geng Fan generals also agreed. As long as they can keep their property in the city, they will be satisfied.

When the sky fell, there was a tall man holding it up. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the holes in the Ming Dynasty were not filled by Chongzhen himself by scraping the heads of the common people.

Aren’t all the dignitaries, civil and military officials under my command okay?

Isn't it just two million? There is a lot of gold and silver in Prince Jingnan's palace.

Although it caused the prince to bleed, Geng Jimao's two million is worth it as long as he can keep the brothers' property!

"Your Majesty, Vice General Liu is right. This mountain of gold and silver cannot be used as food. It is better to give it to King Fengjie to lead the brothers to a clear path." Xu Degong also said solemnly.

Geng Jimao's face almost turned green when he heard this. The monk was thankfully different. He was just Geng Zhongming's son, not Geng Zhongming.

So he didn't have that much prestige in front of these father's old subordinates.

Although these arrogant and powerful generals also obeyed the command, after all, Geng Fan could not compare with Geng Zhongming's era.

So these two million people are planning to let themselves pay, and as long as it doesn't fall on them, these proud soldiers don't matter.

"Your Majesty, my king's son Jingzhong is still in Beijing. Once I lose this beloved son, I will be very sad." Geng Jimao let out a long sigh and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Wang Ziqi's envoy was immediately confused when he saw this. What kind of medicine was sold in Geng Jimao's gourd?

"My beloved son died, and I accepted it for the sake of my brothers' wealth. But these two million are too much."

Geng Jimao glanced at General Geng Fan and spoke slowly.

Xu Degong and others also lowered their heads when they saw this. These people's hearts are full of flesh.

In this big family of Geng Fan, Xu Degong and others and Geng Jimao have broken their bones and connected them!

Geng Jimao's meaning is obvious. I don't even want my son for Geng Fan.

You have the nerve to let me pay for these two million alone!

"Although the Jingnan Prince's Mansion has a lot of income, its expenses have always been very high. I would like to donate one million yuan, of which 500,000 will be contributed by me alone, and the remaining 500,000 will be raised by all the soldiers. I wonder what your envoy wants?" Geng Jimao tentatively.

Geng Jimao was a lucky man. After his father died, he inherited the kingship and took advantage of his father's death to get on the express train of surrender.

It doesn’t matter if the father is so useful, the son is also very useful!

As a prince, if he takes the Geng Fan brothers with him, one of his sons will die!

He, Geng Jimao, had lost his beloved son, and he was planning to let Geng Jingzhong die in Beijing. Shouldn't it be difficult for them to ask Wang Ziqi to ask for less, and to ask his subordinates to pay more?

After all, death is the most important thing. Although Geng Jingzhong is not dead yet, some people are already dead although they are still alive.

The value of death in Geng Jimao's heart can be realized!

For a moment, all the Geng Fan generals stared at each other, but they didn't say anything.

There are so many generals in Geng Fan. According to the prince's plan, they only need to pay 500,000. On average, it is estimated to be only 30,000 to 50,000, or 10,000 to 20,000.

Xu Degong and others have been in Guangdong for many years and have already accumulated a lot of wealth, so this is nothing.

My own prince has already talked about this, and a son is about to die. It would be inappropriate to break up with the old leader over thirty or fifty thousand yuan.

Although the generals of Geng and Fan were greedy for money and lust, they were not the Gongun princes of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the Gungun princes of the Chongzhen Dynasty were sitting on the wealth of the world. Each of them had a millionaire, but they only gave Chongzhen 200,000.

But now Geng Fan can use half of Guangdong's savings to raise 500,000 to Geng Jimao for emergency response.

But I don’t know if Wang Ziqi will agree to this one million!

"My lord, generals, to be honest, if it's 1.5 million, the envoy can agree now, but if it's only 1 million, the envoy has to go back and discuss it with the prince." The envoy said calmly.

Wang Ziqi’s bottom line is one million, but he has to pay back the money if he asks for it!

Although Wang Ziqi was anxious, Geng Jimao was even more anxious.

Shang Fan has now made his attitude clear. Once Wang Ziqi chooses them, Geng Jimao and Geng Fan will be doomed. (End of chapter)
