Chapter 494: Bidding and Counter-Offering (1st Update)

It's nice to say, but looking at it like that, it's clear that there is no sense of apology. Ruan Chuncheng is not familiar with him in this regard, as long as he can delay time and make the other party proud.

"General Hong, are you okay, can you continue to talk about yesterday's events? How can you say that you are also our Jiaozhi people, and the Hong family is the pillar of our Jiaozhi, can we both make a step in these faces? Seeing that Hong Jin sat down again, Ruan Chuncheng, who was afraid that the other party was doing some tricks, said all these words in one breath.

"Let's take a step, how to make it?" Hong Jin asked as if he didn't understand.

"Just to see if we can cede a few cities to the loyal duke first. As you know, yesterday's request was no different from destroying the entire Cochin, and I really can't agree to it. Ruan Chuncheng said pleadingly while licking his old face at the moment.

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Hong Jin shook his head directly and simply refused.

"Something else, General Hong, please take a step for the sake of the Hong family. Don't worry, when I go back, the people of the Hong family will be greatly promoted, and the Hong family will definitely be among the top six in the family, how about it? "This time, in order to achieve the goal, Ruan Xuan Cheng also really worked hard, and he could say any kind of promise, just to be able to delay some time.

Sure enough, when the Hong family was mentioned, especially when it was said that the entire Hong family could be included in the top six families, Hong Jin's eyes really lit up, and he looked moved.

"General Hong, you must help." Ruan Chuncheng said again begging for mercy. Although this person can't be the master in major matters, if he is willing to help, he can still do it for a while.

Maybe it's Ruan Xuan Cheng's low profile, or maybe it's the interests of the Hong family that play a role. This time, Hong Jin did not refuse immediately, but sat there and closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then shook his head again and said, "Still not good." What the loyal and courageous prince wants is the complete subduy of Jiaozhi, but he will definitely not be able to pass it if he takes out a few cities. ”

"Huh?" Hearing it still doesn't work, Ruan Chuncheng really has the heart to cry at this moment. But fortunately, Hong Jin suddenly said again: "This method can't work, but there is another way to give it a try." ”

Hearing that there was still hope for the matter, Ruan Chuncheng suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Hong Jin's arm and asked, "What else can I do?" ”

Seeing Ruan Chuncheng looking so excited, grabbing his arm very hard, a painful expression flashed on Hong Jin's face, "Hurry up and let go, it's hurting General Ben." ”

"Oh, it's the old man who is not good. By the way, General Hong can say anything quickly. ”

Seeing that Ruan Chuncheng apologized so easily, and looked anxious, Hong Jin, who felt the heat was about the same, said slowly: "What did the loyal and courageous prince do after occupying the North Belt City, you must have been here for a day, you should know." ”

"What did you do?" With this question, Ruan Chuncheng looked puzzled and thought hard. If you want to say that he is worthy of being the prime minister, the brain is turning fast, I don't know if he thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Hong Jin and said: "General Hong is saying that the loyal and courageous prince treats the Han and Jiaozhi people separately?" ”

Hearing that he really got to the point, Hong Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the other party's mind was indeed smart, and the person also nodded at this moment, "Yes, this is the thing." The loyal and courageous prince is very good to his own people, and the general has heard him say more than once by his side, and he is a little worried about the status and life of the Han people in Jiaozhi, so if we can start from this aspect, we may be able to do what he likes, so as to give Jiaozhi a chance to breathe. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Ruan Chuncheng's mind quickly turned. I thought in my heart, if we can really start with these Han people, then we can delay for a while, isn't this just helping the prince to fight for opportunities?

This request was exactly the new request that Hong Jin got when he met Yang Chendong last night. Before, Yang Chendong was worried that once the war started, the Han people would have some losses, and it would be good if they could be rescued one step in advance.

At this moment, Ruan Xuan Cheng came. To say that the other party really wants peace talks, or even surrender, that is what Yang Chendong will not believe if he kills him. It would be nice to be able to nominally return to the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

And this result is obviously not what Yang Chendong wants. If you want to really improve the status of the Han people, it is not only to let the enemy take it orally, but even to convince it is not important. Because who knows what you're convinced of today, what tomorrow will look like?

This generation is convinced, what will the next generation be like?

The best thing to do is not to hope for someone else, but to be able to do something yourself. For example, if the cochin is completely destroyed, and then the place is forever ruled by the Han people, even if there will be two hearts in the future, it will be rotten meat into the pot, isn't it?

Therefore, from beginning to end, Yang Chendong did not mean to spare Jiaozhi. It doesn't matter what the other side has to pay, it's the same. But the reason why he agreed to the peace talks was because there were some things he also needed to prepare. With the more than 10,000 troops in his hands now, it will naturally not be a problem to defeat the army of the Cochin Kingdom. The problem is that after defeating, he doesn't have enough strength to rule here, and he doesn't want to work hard for a long time and end up making a wedding dress for someone else, so population has become the most important problem.

In order to achieve the goal of dominating here. Yang Chendong had already sent the message to Chichicheng, where he would mobilize some people to migrate to Jiaozhi, which would not only solve the problem of the rule here after the Leng Feng left, but also expand the influence and territory of the Yang family.

It will also take time for those people to come, and the Yang Navy is about to attack Jiuzhen County and other places, so it will also take time. Then why not take advantage of this time to bring all the Han people of Jiaozhi Kingdom over first, so that you don't have to worry about someone venting their anger with them in the next war, or even threatening themselves with them.

In this way, there is a statement that Hong Jin was taught a new task after meeting Hong Jin last night, and this is something that Hong Jin seems to be moved by Ruan Chuncheng's words and takes the initiative to give the other party ideas.

Otherwise, as Hong Jin, a general, how would he dare to come up with such an idea and make such a decision?

It's just that about all this, how could Ruan Chuncheng know. Moreover, in terms of his worldview and outlook on life, if one day Jiaozhi wants to attack Daming, he will never consider whether the Jiaozhi people living in Daming are alive or dead.

It was with such a different understanding that he decided to agree immediately after listening to Hong Jin's idea. It's just that he is still a little worried, whether Hong Jin guessed correctly or not, don't everything be what they think at that time, and turn around and fight how you should fight your loyal and courageous father, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

After making up his mind, Ruan Chuncheng's eyes became a little burning when he looked at Hong Jin: "General Hong, are you sure that as long as we send all the Han people in the country over, the loyal and courageous prince will sit down and negotiate with us?" ”

"Not sure." Hong Jin shook his head very honestly, but then said, "But I know that doing this can delay time?" And once we can delay time, we can have time to think of more and better ways in the meantime, right? ”

The moment Hong Jin said the delay time, Ruan Chuncheng's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he thought that the other party had seen through his intentions. But when I heard the latter sentence, I couldn't help but relax a lot.

Yes, this can indeed delay time, even if there is no better way to do it during the period, but at least it can avoid war immediately, which gives the prince and the messenger to the Ming more time to prepare.

Thinking that this was originally a good and harmless thing, Ruan Chuncheng nodded and agreed, "Okay, just do what General Hong said, I will send someone to send a letter to the prince and send all the Han people in my country here, but this is a huge project, I'm afraid it won't be done in a year and a half." ”

The latter sentence was said tentatively by Ruan Chuncheng. Because if it can really take a year or half a year, I am afraid that the prince's side will be able to prepare, and once the iron shield and iron car can be made, he will have the opportunity to fight with the mercenaries. At that time, with the superiority in the number of troops, and the battle on the ground, the victory will not be small.

"What? Half a year or a year? Haha, Prime Minister Ruan, don't tease, do you think the Loyal Guild agrees? Hong Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard that it would take so long, he didn't forget that last night, when Yang Chendong gave him this task, he set a deadline.

Ruan Chuncheng originally didn't point out that it really took so long, after all, the country of Jiaozhi is not big, unlike the Ming Dynasty, it takes a long time to walk from south to north. When he saw that the temptation was unsuccessful, he asked in an inquiring tone, "Then according to General Hong's meaning, how long will it take to do this thing properly?" ”

Instead of speaking immediately, Hong Jin raised his hand and stretched out all five of his fingers.

"Five months?" Seeing this gesture, Ruan Chun said energetically.

"It's not." Hong Jin shook his head.

"That's fifty days." When he said this, Ruan Chuncheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

But Hong Jin still shook his head after hearing this, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "Five days." If there are too many, General Ben does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to convince the loyal and courageous duke. ”

"What? Five days? It's simply not possible. Ruan Chuncheng jumped up directly from the chair and said in an excited tone. Not to mention that he originally wanted to delay time through this matter, but he really wanted to do it, and he would never be able to do it in five days. Five days from some places in Cochin to Hokudai City is far from enough.
