Chapter 702: Going to the Meeting Alone (2)
The next morning, Guo Ye packed up everything, took Gao Qi and Wang Haonan, and rushed to Huainan City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, Huainan City has quarreled over Guo Ye's attendance, some people advocate taking the opportunity to kill Guo Ye, some people advocate directly imprisoning Guo Ye to force the Lu army to retreat, and some people advocate taking this opportunity to negotiate with the Lu army to see what kind of conditions Guo Ye can give!
Shi Dakai's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”
Shi Dakai, as a generation of martial arts masters, has abundant internal strength, and his deep voice really echoes in the hall, and everyone is quiet.
Shi Dakai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since Guo Ye is willing to come, then you don't want to think crookedly, unless, you will kill me now!" So I conspired and led 500 elites to surround the entire government office for me, and resolutely did not allow anyone to carry knives and guns around! If you encounter someone with bad intentions, you can kill him first, it is a matter of life and death for the Taiping Army, and I will never allow the slightest accident! Order, open the city gate, I will personally lead the generals to welcome and bring Guo Ye in! ”
Everyone was shocked, the courtesy given by the Wing King was high enough!
Shi Dakai sighed and replied: "Guo Ye dares to come alone, what about you, you are all deceitful, it is not impossible to have a conspiracy, but it is necessary to divide people, places, times, and occasions!" Don't make a mistake about yourself, for the life and death of 100,000 soldiers, once someone moves, I will not show mercy! ”
Saying this, Shi Dakai stood up and walked outside.
At noon, Shi Dakai came to the city gate, quietly waiting for Guo Ye's arrival, not for a long time, Guo Ye and Gao Qi Wang Haonan rode a war horse, came together, Guo Ye's dress today is really different, even the top flower feather that symbolizes status is all removed, a tight suit, only two new Colt revolvers are inserted in their waists, as for Gao Qi and Wang Haonan, they are also dressed tightly, just like the characters in the rivers and lakes.
Shi Dakai couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately secretly admired that Guo Ye is a talent, atmospheric, not an ordinary atmosphere, in the world, who else has such courage and courage? Risking oneself is not just talking, especially in the case of occupying an absolute advantage, it is even more commendable to still be willing to take risks alone!
"Yasukuni Gong, Shi Dakai is polite here!"
Shi Dakai clenched his fists slightly and saluted Guo Ye, Guo Ye turned over and jumped off the warhorse, and the two kings did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly jumped down, their eyes nervously patrolling around, alert to the danger that could come at any time.
Guo Ye hugged his fists and said: "Wing King, hehe, I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder, when I see it today, it is really majestic and heroic, it is better to see it than to hear it!" ”
The two of them said a few polite words, Shi Dakai took Guo Ye's arm and said, "Jingguo Gong, please follow me into the city for a while!" ”
Guo Ye lived like a plain, walked into the city, and all the generals of the Taiping Army were shocked, this Guo Ye didn't have the slightest timidity on his face, he was really bold!
When they came to the mansion, Shi Dakai and Guo Ye sat opposite each other at a table, but Dong Haichuan was in front of them.
Dong Haichuan said with a smile: "Okay, the old man finally lived up to his mission and brought together your two heroes, one south and one north, the next thing, but you yourself will talk about it, national affairs, I am a layman, I can't help you!" ”
Shi Dakai smiled at Dong Haichuan and replied, "Dakai thank you Brother Haichuan for making it happen." ”
Guo Ye said with a smile: "King Yi, this matter of surrender, although I have not yet played the Ming court, but since I am the minister of the governor's military affairs, the lord should still do this, what do you want, just put it forward, let's talk about it openly." ”
Shi Dakai said in a deep voice: "Yasukuni Gong, first, I demand that the Taiping army must be guaranteed that as long as it is a person who surrenders, no matter who it is, it must be acquitted, and it cannot resist arrest or detain, even if it is a general who has caused heavy losses to the Qing army, it must not retaliate!" ”
Guo Ye nodded and replied: "There is no problem with this matter, since it is a surrender, it is natural to surrender after pardoning all the crimes of the Taiping Army, no matter who it is, it will definitely not be held accountable by the imperial court, of course, after surrendering, if someone is a traitor, it is not on the list, whether it is the Taiping Army or the Lu Army, if it is a traitor, it must be severely punished according to law." ”
Shi Dakai nodded, and then said: "Second, once I surrender, I will disband all the Taiping Army, but this requires a large amount of expenses, and now it is difficult for me to come up with such a large amount of money, if someone merges into the Qing Army, it will be fine, if it is disbanded on the spot and become a peasant, then there is no food and clothing, but it is a dead end, I hope that the Qing Court can take out a sum of money to pay the Taiping Army severance fee!" ”
Guo Ye replied: "This is easy to say, I might as well tell you, you have 200,000 elite soldiers under your command, although now after the war, I am afraid that there will be more than 100,000 people left, but there are still many elites, I can clearly promise that I will select 20,000 elites from them to supplement the Lu army, and the rest of the people, as long as they are disbanded, the soldiers will be paid 20 taels of silver each, and the generals will be paid 50 to 100 taels of severance pay per person, and I will take out 3 million taels of silver to dismiss the Taiping Army!" ”
Three million taels! What a big deal!
You must know that the monthly salary of each person in the Taiping Army is only three taels of silver and twenty taels of silver, which is more than half a year's income, when was the severance pay so high? As for the generals, one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount!
"Three million taels of silver? Lord Guo, you are so generous, it's just that you can get these three million taels of silver? It's not thirty taels, three hundred taels! Three million taels, even if you earn ten lifetimes, you can't earn it, right? ”
Long Kaisheng on the side pursed his lips and asked disdainfully.
Guo Ye smiled slightly and replied: "Good question, first, this money should not be from me, but from the imperial court, without the chaos in Jiangnan, three million taels of silver, for the imperial court, it is not a difficult matter?" Second, even if the court is in trouble and can't come up with such a large sum of money, then I will pay it myself, it's not a big deal, hehe, three million taels of silver, I went to the United States once, and the silver I earned back was millions, for me, it's not a big deal......"
Guo Ye's calm and breezy appearance really made Long Kaisheng stunned, he really went out by himself! How much money does he have!
Shi Dakai replied lightly: "Kaisheng, in the Qilu Bank under the Yasukuni Gong, I'm afraid there must be ten thousand taels of silver, and three million taels is nothing for him?" ”
