Chapter 700: Stalemate
As soon as Harlingmer, the leader of the mountain, pacified the crowd, a man ran up the mountain with a shout: "It's a big deal, the people under the mountain have shouted, saying that we won't hand over people to kill the chickens and dogs on the mountain." ”
Although this toast is sometimes more powerful than the army, but when it comes to the overall quality, they are still a little worse, and shouting it will cause panic on the mountain, and normal people will only shout after thinking about one or two, but I didn't expect this guy to shout out in one bite.
As soon as Harrimer was about to get angry, he heard a deafening chorus shouting from the bottom of the mountain: "Kill the mountain, no chickens and dogs will be left!" ”
At this moment, even if he couldn't hide it, Harrimer stiffened his neck suddenly: "Their prince is still on the mountain, they are just bluffing at the bottom of the mountain, and they don't dare to kill them on the mountain if they have a few guts." ”
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like teammates, you are afraid of pig-like opponents, and the guy who just ran up immediately added: "They said that their emperor came in person, and he didn't care about the life of the prince at all." ”
Everyone showed a look of sudden realization, this is indeed true, if we go down the mountain to attack the city, and someone else captures a small leader and says that we should withdraw immediately, it will be whimsical at all.
Everyone looked at Harrimer hesitantly, and Harlinger yelled, "Do you think we're buying coarse cloth from the merchants down the mountain?" Can I return a product if I feel the price is unfair? I tell you, we are tied to the prince of the court, no one can run afterwards, we can only go one way to the dark, if it can be done, everyone will enjoy endless glory and wealth, if you lose, no one can live! ”
"And how long are we going to hold out?"
"Those who hold out until the bottom of the mountain retreat, or they attack the mountain."
Everyone was shocked by Harlingmer's decision, and everyone understood one thing, since they had embarked on this path, there was no turning back.
Of course, this is only the idea of some young people, the older people also have their own calculations in their hearts, if they secretly surrender to the court of the Han people, they will be able to save their lives, this is the experience left by their ancestors, no matter what the situation is, in the eyes of the Han people, killing prisoners is ominous, and forgiving their enemies is in line with their style of acting.
Cheng Xiaolian naturally will not attack the mountain immediately, but leave three days to think about it, to be honest, if he can, he doesn't want to attack the mountain at all, fighting this kind of mountain and forest war with others on other people's territory is simply a loss-making business, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy randomly picked out from the family is better than these elite soldiers under his command, not that they are talented, but they are too familiar with the terrain, and they live in the mountains and forests all year round, and have long been trained to climb mountains and wade through the water.
He believes that as long as there is enough time, some people in the mountains will figure it out, the Han people are constantly learning and improving, and the toast in the mountains is not immutable, if they have always maintained the character of a intestine, I am afraid that they will be exterminated long ago.
On the night of the second day, suddenly a person sneakily approached the camp of the Ming army, and Jinyiwei naturally took him down easily, and after a little inquiry, he knew that he was sent down from the mountain to negotiate the conditions, and Yang Youcai personally met him.
"What is the status of your master on the mountain?"
"Our leader is the chief of the mountain."
According to the official position of the Ming Dynasty, the official position of the Tusi is generally to proclaim the consolation, the pacification envoy, and the chief is arranged in this way, and the imperial court will give them a lot of false positions in order to win over the Tusi, such as the Hou Ye and the like, but these things are not worth much under the mountain, and when you enter the city, you say that you are the Hou Ye, and the prefect may have to come to see you, but when you see that you are the Hou Ye of the Tusi, you have it, and the master is too lazy to take care of you.
Of course, the people on the mountain are not stupid, and when they ask for official positions later, they don't pay attention to how loud the name is, and judge the size of the official position according to the silver given by the imperial court for a year. The official position of the chief is generally the highest level of the small toast, but for such a large-scale toast on the mountain, it is the third person.
Yang Youcai nodded: "Your patriarch's dedication to the country is all understood by my emperor, as long as the rebellion on this mountain is quelled, your patriarch is the consolation envoy on this mountain, but I don't know how many people on this mountain still have the heart of Daming, and how many people are willing to follow your leader to the dark." ”
The man smiled bitterly: "Most of the people on our mountain are good, the leader Haringmo said that a great fortune was given to us, and we were tied to his carriage in a daze, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, I don't want to offend the court, and I am worried that the court will hold us accountable after surrendering." ”
Yang Youcai knew in his heart that they were afraid that they had already discussed it, but they didn't expect such a big reaction from the imperial court, and the emperor would personally conquer the army, so everyone began to find a way to get out, and the way to get out was to put all the sins on Haringmo's head. However, Yang Youcai doesn't want to break this point, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no disciples, if it is too serious, nothing can be done.
He nodded: "You can rest assured of this, the imperial court has always been benevolent, those of you who did not participate in the rebellion, will not be guilty, our imperial court's policy is to only punish the evil, and never ask questions." It's just that we need to know how many people are willing to go to the dark with your leader, that is, they will not surrender even if they die. ”
The man hurriedly said: "Except for his henchmen, there are only more than fifty people, and all the people on the mountain are unwilling to oppose the imperial court. ”
Yang Youcai's eyes widened: "More than fifty of them can coerce nearly a thousand of you to make a rebellion?" ”
The man's face turned red: "At first, everyone followed him on this road in a daze, but now they want to regret it and are afraid that the court will deal with it afterwards, so most people are still swaying whether to follow him all the way to the dark." ”
Yang Youcai waved his hand: "Don't you believe what our court said, since I promised you, I won't pursue it." Do you want us to make a decree to the world? ”
The man waved his hand again and again: "That's not necessary, just use the big seal of your government to write a document for us, it's not that we can't trust the general, it's really that many people on the mountain can't see this thing, and they don't want to follow us to make trouble." ”
Yang Youcai laughed, this kid is quite clever, but he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, if he is deceived by this kid, he won't be able to mix in the court in the future.
"I said, are you kid going to lie to me? Surrender on the surface, but secretly want to yin us? ”
"What the lord said, even if I borrow ten guts, I don't dare to deceive the court, besides, even if we deceive the court, the imperial army's army is endless, how many people on our mountain can withstand such a killing, and in the end, it is not the end of the death of the clan."
"You're a clever boy, wait here, and I'll write you the letter."
