Sun Yuanhua looked up to the sky and laughed: "It's ridiculous that the imperial history of the DPRK impeached the official Xinyi and the Yijiao Yiren, and now the Liaodong soldiers are in chaos, but the Yiren swear to resist the enemy to the death, which is ridiculous." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He laughed and shook his head and said to the rebel officers, "You think that if you conquer Dengzhou, you will be able to cede the land and become king?" Just look at what you do, you are a kind of rat-eyed people, you can only be proud for a while, and after all, it is difficult to escape defeat, and the old man is waiting for the good news of your defeat. ”

Li Jiucheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, Sun Yuanhua's words actually hit his mind. He can physically eliminate these civil officials like Sun Yuanhua, but without these people, he doesn't know how to govern internal affairs, and since he joined the army in Dongjiang Town, he can only loot except killing. At present, Sun Yuanhua refuses to be his puppet, so after robbing Dengzhou, how to go on the road, he is a little empty in his heart,

Xia Nan hid behind the crowd and couldn't help but sigh when he saw Sun Yuanhua's messy clothes and covered in blood, and the majesty when they first met was gone. Sun Yuanhua was a rare technical official among the Ming Dynasty bureaucracy, who believed in and was willing to accept science and technology, whether he died at the hands of the rebels or was beheaded by Chongzhen, it was a pity. Now that the rebels have embarked on the original historical track, Sun Yuanhua's fate will not affect the historical trajectory of the rebels.

Thinking of this, Xia Nan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the dozen or so Franco, which should be the Portuguese instructors hired by Sun Yuanhua. According to Lin Weiye's statement before leaving, these people are familiar with artillery structure and firing technology, and they are the most suitable candidates for artillery instructors, compared to Lin Weiye, who became a monk halfway, they are still much more professional, and they are all rare talents.

After thinking about how to phrase it in his heart, he came out of the crowd and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Lord Sun, don't come unharmed? ”

Sun Yuanhua recognized him, was surprised, pointed at him, and said, "You, aren't you Brother Xia?" How to ......"

"It's a long story." Xia Nan quickly intercepted his words, turned to Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde and said: "I have a relationship with Lord Sun, and I am loved by Lord Sun, and I am called my brother." If the two generals can trust me, I am willing to help persuade Master Sun. ”

Kong Youde was overjoyed, he didn't want to hurt Sun Yuanhua, but the other party was so tough, he couldn't step down, and it was of course best to persuade Sun Yuanhua to be the puppet of the rebels. "Since that's the case, I'm going to bother Brother Xia!"

Li Jiucheng tilted his head and thought about it, although he didn't like this Xia Nan very much, but he couldn't deny that this person had a flexible brain and good eloquence, let him persuade Sun Yuanhua, it is good to be successful, and it seems that there is no loss if he is not successful. Kong Youde is very protective of Sun Yuanhua, and he is not good about Sun Yuanhua, so he will give it to this surnamed Xia to try, and the dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor.

He also nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you." Master Sun, I don't embarrass you, you still live in your governor's yamen, I promise that no one will harass you, so you can consider my proposal. ”

Sun Yuanhua didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, snorted, turned around and walked back to the governor's yamen.

"As for these Franco-...... man" Li Jiucheng's expression became hideous, they used artillery last night, killing a lot of rebels, since they refused to surrender, they still killed them, so as not to be used by the imperial court in the future - he and Kong Youde are both new troops trained by Sun Yuanhua, and they know the power of Hongyi artillery very well.

"Since you don't want to surrender to me, then I can only send you back to the west!"

Xia Nan was shocked, he was going to kill these people so soon? He hurriedly stopped him: "Wait! ”

Li Jiucheng turned his head to stare at him, his eyes were a little cold: "Are you giving orders to me?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just thinking about the two generals!" Xia Nan's brain was running at high speed, and as he spoke, he pondered the reason for saving the lives of these Portuguese: "May I ask the two generals, what do these Francois do?" ”

"It's the instructor who taught our battalions to fly the Hongyi cannon." Kong Youde replied.

"That's right, their hometown is far away in Taixi, why don't they come to Dengzhou thousands of miles away?"

"Naturally, Lord Sun spent money to hire a ...... to come"

found the entry point, Xia Nan hurriedly picked up the words: "Since you want to serve Lord Sun as the master, you can only come to the soft one, not the hard one." This Fran machine man is an artillery instructor he hired with a lot of money, so he naturally values it, if he kills it like this, will Lord Sun be annoyed and angry? ”

"That being said, but didn't these Francos say they didn't want to surrender? Keep them, and use them for the court in the future, and train soldiers to fight us? Li Jiucheng couldn't help but interject.

"The principle of the Franciscans is this, they are mercenaries and cannot betray their employers. But what if the employer is willing to work with you? They are not considered to have betrayed their employers, but they can be used by you! ”

Kong Youde patted his head, "Yes, why didn't I turn this corner?" If Lord Sun is willing to be our leader, these Franji people will be loyal to Lord Sun, and they will naturally be our people! ”

"And if you kill these Francos, Master Sun will not agree to your proposal in a fit of anger!" Xia Nan saw them take the bait, so he added a sentence at the right time.

At this time, even Li Jiucheng nodded, as long as he can work for himself, then these Francophone people are still very useful, and in the future, they will be able to deal with the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, and with artillery, they will be like a tiger with wings.

In the end, under the mediation of Xia Nan, these dozen or so Portuguese escaped the butcher's knife of the rebels, and together with Sun Yuanhua, they were placed in the governor's yamen and guarded. In the summer, Nan Mao recommended himself to persuade Sun Yuanhua, and as a lobbyist, it was natural for him to live in the governor's yamen.

These Portuguese were ready to accept death, but they did not expect to escape death, and one by one was overjoyed, and one of the leaders said to Xia Nan: "Thank you, you saved our lives." You Ming people have a saying, called great grace without thanks! ”

Xia Nan said with a smile: "We also have a saying that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

This man didn't understand the meaning of this sentence very well, but guessed that it should be a good word, and said with a smile: "My name is Wu John, and it is a pleasure to meet you, may I ask what your name is?" ”

"My name is Xia Nan and I'm from a distant island. If we can leave Dengzhou City, maybe we will meet again in the future. In the second half of the sentence, Xia Nan whispered in the ear of Wu Ruowang. After all, the partition wall has ears, and there are rebel soldiers guarding the door, and there are some words that Li Jiucheng can't let them know. The Vulture listened thoughtfully.
