Both Xia Nan and Sima De understood that if the matter was pushed on the Li people, the responsibility for the defeat would be much smaller. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Regardless of whether the generals who lost the battle concealed the truth, anyway, the prefect Yamen still thinks that the opponent is the Li people.

Sima De suggested: "In this case, the lord might as well plan and talk to the government in the name of the Li people." What the subordinates said before may be easier to achieve in the name of the Li people. ”

The so-called "no suppression" is actually a situation in which the government cannot defeat itself, and the party does not accept the appeasement, and at the same time does not rebel. If it is a Han Chinese, the military force is strong and refuses to be appeased by the government, threatening the rule of the government, it is likely to attract endless encirclement and suppression by the government, on the contrary, if it is a Li person, as long as you promise not to rebel and retreat between the mountains, the government will not care whether you are willing to accept the appeasement or not, and do not cause trouble.

Master Qian had the audacity to interject: "Master Xia, I think what this gentleman said is very reasonable. The Qiongzhou government's countermeasure to Shengli has always been: as long as there is no rebellion, any conditions can be discussed, and then it will be slowly planned in the future. Even if he is a familiar li, as long as he pays the grain tax, he will not care about anything, and he will be governed by the local officials. ”

Xia Nan understood what the two of them meant, in fact, the policy of ethnic minorities in the old time and space was not the same, and the government's control of some ethnic minorities was much more lenient than that of the Han people.

He thought thoughtfully: "Are you saying that under the guise of the Li people, you will negotiate with the government, take a step back, and not be an enemy of the government, but you will not accept appeasement?" ”

The two said yes in unison.

That's a good idea. Xia Nan immediately made a decision: "Mr. Sima will accompany Huang Mengjia to talk to the government." Since the government is wrong, we will accompany him to make mistakes, as long as we achieve my goal. ”

After speaking, he looked at Qian Youyu playfully and asked, "Master Qian, if the negotiation is completed and the general trend has been decided, are you interested in following me?" Anyway, the county lord can't tolerate you anymore. ”

Qian Youyu smiled awkwardly: "Master Xia said that he was joking, Qian Mou is just a master who can't be on the stage, how can He De make you fall in love." Although he can't turn back, Xia Nan's identity is undecided, and he doesn't dare to gamble on his life, so he will wait and see.

After determining the tone of the negotiation, Huang Mengjia and Sima De came to Chengmai County with 300 native soldiers and began negotiations with Tongzhi Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue looked at the extremely burly Huang Mengjia, and said secretly: Sure enough, he was born with extraordinary talents, no wonder he can help the government to suppress chaos, and he can also defeat the three thousand army, he should have been the pillar of the imperial court, but unfortunately he was forced to rebel by Lin Sanfeng's killing.

He spoke first: "You were originally a submissive citizen under the rule of the imperial court, although you are now meeting with the imperial court, but there is a reason for the crime below you, as long as you put down your sword and return to the imperial court, you can not blame the past."

Huang Mengjia interrupted him and said with a big grin: "I'm a rough person, don't be so literate, I listen sour." You also know who I was forced to rebel, the Han people have a saying, once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, I have suffered the loss of the dog official, I will no longer believe you, the world is as black as a crow, and the officials are not good people. If you want me to accept Zhao'an, there is no door, give me benefits, I can no longer be an enemy of the government! ”

Zhao Yue prepared a stomach of words, but was interrupted by Shengsheng, and suddenly didn't know how to talk to this rough man. When he saw Sima De, he felt that this scholar-like person should be reasonable, perhaps Huang Mengjia's military advisors and the like, so he attacked in a roundabout way and said to Sima De: "What is the name of this gentleman?" ”

Sima De arched his hand and said: "In the next compound surname Sima, a single name has a German character." If you want to persuade us to accept the appeasement, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. At that time, the Lin County Order also coaxed the lord of the mountain to send troops, killed and injured hundreds of tribesmen, suppressed the rebellion of the three mountains, promised many benefits, and finally broke his promise and became fat. Adults don't have to worry about me, and I can't persuade my lord. ”

These words immediately blocked Zhao Yue's later rhetoric. hit the wall one after another, and Zhao Yue couldn't bite the hedgehog for a while.

He thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Since Lord Huang Dong is willing to come here, it must be sincere, I don't know what Lord Huang Dong plans?" ”

Huang Mengjia clasped his hands on his chest and looked up at the sky: "I'm a rough person, I can't tell the truth, let Mr. Sima say it for me." ”

Sima De stretched out two fingers and said, "Two conditions." First, the government will no longer send troops to suppress it, and the two sides will make a truce, and second, we will not accept appeasement, but we will not be enemies of the government, and we only ask the government not to interfere with us. ”

Zhao Yue was embarrassed, such a condition was beyond his authority, not to mention that his suggestion to the prefect was that he could caress it, and if he didn't touch it, he would beat it, if he agreed to the other party, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

The matter was too big, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision, so he suggested that Huang Mengjia stay in Chengmai County for the time being, and wait for him to ask the prefect. After Huang Mengjia agreed, he sent someone back to the city overnight to report the news.

A few days later, the prefect of Qin sent a reply letter, asking Zhao Yue to delay first, and then make a decision when there was news in the provincial capital. Zhao Yue knew in his heart that he had to wait for Guangdong to clarify whether to send troops before deciding the direction of the negotiations, and if he did not send troops, then he could only pinch his nose and accept Huang Mengjia's ridiculous conditions.

In the next few days, Zhao Yue held a banquet every day to entertain Huang Mengjia and Sima De, and kept his mouth shut about the appeasement, and the two of them didn't care, they ate and drank nonsense, and they didn't spend their own money left and right, and there was no harm to themselves if they dragged it out like this.

It's just that I didn't expect that this delay would be half a month, and the news from Guangdong was late.

Zhao Yue received a letter from the Qin prefect, it is said that most of the officials in Guangdong were reluctant to use swords and soldiers, thinking that the suppression of Li Mi cost money and food, and only increased the number of dead and wounded, but the effect was very small, if it could be appeased, it was the best policy, and Wang Zunde, the governor and governor of Guangdong, did not make a clear statement, and there was no hope of sending troops in this case.

Since there is no hope of sending troops, then we can only talk about it according to Huang Mengjia's conditions. As for how to talk about it, the Qin prefect did not give clear instructions in the letter, only vaguely saying that Zhao Yue should "act with the camera".

Pinching the letterhead, Zhao Yue wanted to scold his mother. "Acting on camera" is not "acting cheaply", and the difference between the words could not be different.

The latter is clearly authorized by Zhao Yue to dispose of it with full authority, and the Qin prefect will be held responsible for the accident, while the former is for Zhao Yue to watch and do, and the Qin prefect will ignore it. In this way, if the negotiation is good, the credit of the Qin prefect will not be able to run away, and if it is not negotiated well or there will be troubles in the future, the responsibility can be pushed to Zhao Yue.

Speaking of which, Governor Qin and Zhao Yue still have a lot of connections in the imperial examination, and they are officials in the same place, but their bellies are dark, and they don't talk about any affection, and the more Zhao Yue thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.

But scolding and scolding, I have to sit down and talk to this Li barbarian, who made him Qin Governor is the official of Zhengyin, and the official is crushed to death. To be continued.
