Chapter 1140: Suing Peace
After returning to Nagasaki, Incheon was full of confidence, and began to prepare for the arrival of the Donggang Army. Since Inchon had no intention of fighting the Donggang Army from the beginning, this preparation was naturally not a defense. All he was thinking about was how he should negotiate with Mao Wenlong about surrender!
A letter to be sent to Mao Wenlong, Incheon revised it more than a dozen times and was still not very satisfied. But he already knew that the Dongjiang Army had entered the waters of Nagasaki, and this letter had to be sent before the arrival of the Dongjiang Army. Otherwise, as soon as the Dongjiang Army came, it would be attacked, and Incheon would be caught off guard.
Carefully put away the letter, Incheon called his heart and asked him to go to sea to deliver the letter to Mao Wenlong. The two armies are about to start fighting, and life and death are definitely uncertain, but as a confidant, he must be prepared to give his life to his master. The two henchmen didn't say much, and after taking the letter, they promised Incheon that it would be delivered to Mao Wenlong, and then left in a hurry.
Seeing the two henchmen leave, although Incheon was still a little worried in his heart, he still tried his best to restrain his emotions and not let his heart become chaotic.
The Dongjiang Army brought him great pressure, even far more than the previous Yi Army. Incheon is confident that it will reach an agreement with Mao Wenlong for peaceful coexistence, but it is not very sufficient, and under the contradictions, it is inevitable that they will panic.
No matter how panicked he is, Incheon at this moment can only wait for the final result.
At sea, the wind and waves were calm, and more than 400 warships of the Dongjiang Army quietly stayed on the sea.
Mao Wenlong and his subordinates stood on the bow of the Fubune, looking at Nagasaki in the distance across the vast sea. The hot air balloon set off early in the morning to investigate, and has not yet returned.
Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars in his hand and said suspiciously: "Nagasaki actually didn't send troops to meet the battle, do they want to defend on the shore?" ”
Chen Qiyue also frowned and said, "One morning has passed, and there are no Japanese warships on the sea. Chief soldier, I'm afraid there is fraud in this. ”
Chen Jisheng snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if he is fraudulent or not, in the face of absolute strength, all the little tricks of the Japanese are useless." Commander-in-chief, I beg you to allow your subordinates to lead their troops over now. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned deeply when he heard this, and Chen Jisheng's fiery temper did not restrain at all. Chen Jisheng glared back with a sharp gaze, and Mao Wenlong said coldly: "How can you be so frivolous when the two armies are fighting, and if you are so impulsive next time, you will go back to Daming to retire." ”
was severely reprimanded by Mao Wenlong again, Chen Jisheng didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, obediently stepped back, stood aside and closed his lips without saying a word.
Seeing that Chen Jisheng was honest, Mao Wenlong withdrew his gaze, and at this time, a hot air balloon in the air sent a message, saying that two small boats were rapidly approaching the large army fleet from the direction of Nagasaki.
"Did they put up a flag to show their intentions?" Mao Wenlong asked the guard in front of him coldly.
"Back to the general soldiers, they have always claimed to be the messengers of Nagasaki, and they want to meet the general soldiers." The guards replied.
"Messenger ......"
Mao Wenlong muttered, looked up at the two small black dots that were slowly coming in the distance, and pondered for a moment before ordering: "Let them come over, this general soldier wants to see what tricks the Japanese have in their hands?" ”
"Yes, Commander!" The guards retreated.
The speed of the two small boats of the Japanese Kou was not slow, but when they looked at the sea not far away, it still took a full hour before they were brought in front of Mao Wenlong by the secret guards.
The two would-be robbers were neither humble nor arrogant, and after saluting Mao Wenlong, they took out a letter written by Incheon himself and handed it over.
Chen Qiyue stepped forward to take the letter and opened it and glanced at it, only to find that the letter was written in neat Chinese characters. Without finding any problems, Chen Qiyue forwarded the letter to Mao Wenlong.
The latter took it and looked at it, already knowing the contents of the letter well. At this time, Mao Wenlong suddenly understood that the Japanese did not send troops to the sea, but only came with the intention of seeking peace.
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, and said coldly to the two Japanese envoys: "Go back and tell you the lord of Incheon, this general soldier will give him a chance." Let him come to see the general soldier tomorrow morning! ”
When the two Japanese envoys heard this, they were shocked, and the lord of Incheon came to meet Mao Wenlong, how much danger did they have to take here? Both of them are Incheon's henchmen, and they know a lot about Incheon's temperament. The two glanced at each other, and they both felt that Mao Wenlong's request could not be agreed.
One of the slightly older would-be would-be robbers bowed back to Mao Wenlong: "General Mao, the Lord of Incheon will definitely not come." Why don't you meet the general army alone with the lord of Incheon on the seashore of Nagasaki? ”
Mao Wenlong snorted coldly: "There is no need to discuss, either your lord will come to see the general soldier, or the general soldier will kill the two of you now, and then order the capture of Nagasaki." ”
The faces of the two Japanese envoys suddenly changed greatly, and they already knew it in their hearts when they came this time. He has no confidence to resist in front of Mao Wenlong. provoked Mao Wenlong and let the Dongjiang army directly attack Nagasaki, and the two Japanese envoys obviously had no way to bear this crime.
After some deep thought, the two envoys promised Mao Wenlong to go back and report it.
Mao Wenlong did not embarrass the two of them, and immediately ordered them to be released. But only give Incheon half a day, if you haven't seen Incheon in the afternoon. Then in the evening, Mao Wenlong will give the order to capture Nagasaki.
When the two envoys heard this, they didn't dare to let go of one more, so they hurriedly returned to report to Incheon. And after Incheon learned of Mao Wenlong's request, he did hesitate.
went to meet Mao Wenlong, and if he was not careful, he would throw his life there every minute. But if they don't go, the Dongjiang army will immediately wave their troops to attack Nagasaki. The current situation is simply not able to confront the Donggang Army, and things are going completely differently than Inchon had previously thought. He was already very flustered, but he didn't know what to do now.
"Lord, Mao Wenlong only gave us half a day to reply, if Mao Wenlong didn't get our answer before the evening, he would have to call us......" Seeing that Incheon didn't respond for a long time, the henchman immediately whispered a reminder.
But he had just said a few words when he was interrupted by Incheon: "Have you ever noticed Mao Wenlong's expression when he said this to you at that time?" ”
The henchman frowned and recalled for a moment and said, "Expressionless! ”
Incheon was suddenly upset, he really didn't know what kind of attitude Mao Wenlong had towards his peace at the moment? As a result, he simply couldn't react right.
After thinking about it for a while, Incheon really couldn't think of a good way, seeing that it was not early, and if he didn't make a decision, he would definitely not have time to give Mao Wenlong an answer.
"Immediately send someone to send a message to Mao Wenlong, saying that the master has agreed, and he will go to the appointment early tomorrow morning!" Incheon gritted his teeth and made the final decision. If he doesn't go, he won't have a chance at all, but if he goes, he may have a chance to succeed.
