Hong Xiuquan wanted Lars to make a suggestion. Enough to give Lars face. This situation made Hong Renda and Hong Renfa jealous. Especially Lars's deception on the two, which made the two very unhappy. In addition, the two of them were scolded by Hong Xiuquan because of Lars just now, and they glared at Lars angrily.

The two of them have no ability, but their ability to hold grudges is not bad.

Lars noticed the expression of the Hong Renfa brothers, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Those who are dying are not to be worried. What's more, both of them are super idiots, and Lars didn't take the two of them seriously. Lars looked at Hong Xiuquan and said unhurriedly: "Heavenly King, my suggestion is to give orders to the generals guarding the various city gates, so that they are all on guard, guarding their respective city gates, and they are not allowed to act rashly. ”

Wang Buyi said: "In this way, who will help me defend the city?" ”

Lars smiled indifferently and continued: "In addition, it is necessary to organize the soldiers in the city to form an elite army, and stay in the city to be on standby at any time. Once Li Zhen attacked Taipingmen, this nimble army immediately rescued Taipingmen. If Li Zhen attacked the rest of the city gates, this army would immediately rescue the other city gates. ”

However, it was strictly forbidden for the generals of the various gates to abandon their gates to protect the attacked gates, as they could easily become loopholes. Unless it comes to the last critical moment, when the city gate is really breached, the east wall can be demolished and the west wall can be replaced. This is my suggestion, I don't know what the king wants? ”

Lars stood tall and outstanding, and his outstanding posture made Hong Xiuquan feel broken.

This foreigner is a capable person.

After Hong Xiuquan heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

He had to think carefully to see if there were any shortcomings in the advice. After a long time, Hong Xiuquan said: "Mr. Lars, the method is good. But who will deploy this flexible army? In particular, this flexible army is the main force to deal with Li Zhen, what does Mr. Lars think? ”

Lars said, "Heavenly King, what do you think of me? ”

When Hong Xiuquan heard this, there was a surprised expression on his face, he didn't expect Lars to take the initiative to recommend himself. Especially when Lars took the initiative to bring it up, he had some doubts in his heart. Without waiting for Hong Xiuquan to speak, Lars said again: "I dispatched soldiers to His Excellency the Heavenly King, not for free, but for conditions!" ”

"Oh, on what terms?" Hong Xiuquan asked.

Lars rubbed his hands and said, "I have only one condition, and that is to add 100,000 taels of silver." These hundred thousand taels of silver were not given to Maas, the great merchant above us, but to me, and I distributed them to the soldiers under my command. If the Heavenly King agrees to one of my items, I will help the Heavenly King dispatch soldiers to resist the attack of Li Zhen's army. ”

After Hong Xiuquan heard this, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared.

This person, if he gets help for free, will worry about others. And people have demands, and they blame others. There is no doubt that Hong Xiuquan is such a person, Hong Xiuquan secretly despises Lars as a foreigner, and he even has to charge money for doing things. He has helped countless people, but he has not received a penny.

Hong Xiuquan understood Lars's thoughts, and he didn't have to worry, but he was unwilling to pay, and said: "Mr. Lars, when this king and Maas signed the agreement, it was already determined that you should obey the king's dispatch. Now, this king orders you to dispatch the soldiers in the city and prepare to defend against Li Zhen. And, bring a thousand soldiers under your command and block Li Zhen for me. ”

Lars said: "Your Excellency, you can't be so shameless. ”

Hong Xiuquan smiled and said, "It's not shameless, but you have obligations." ”

Lars snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "According to the provisions of the treaty, I do have the obligation to help the Heavenly King, but whether I do my best or not, I'm afraid this is not something that His Excellency can control." If Li Zhen attacked the city gate, I took the soldiers a little slower, what would the Heavenly King say? ”

"You, you shameless!"

Hong Xiuquan was angry and scolded loudly.

When it comes to Nanjing, he is worried.

Lars looked indifferent and said, "Your Excellency, I'm not shameless, but you're too stingy. God says that a miser is not a good person, and you are not a good person. ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "Did God say this? ”

Lars continued: "God also said that if you give Lars 100,000 taels of silver, Lars will do his best to help you. Please be generous, and you will be rewarded accordingly. ”

"You, you ,......"

Hong Xiuquan was helpless, he didn't expect Lars to be so difficult. He also understood that Lars's words were all made up and had no basis at all. At the same time, Hong Xiuquan also understands that if he doesn't say it, Lars will probably not do his best. Hong Xiuquan's face showed a look of pain, and said, "Fifty thousand taels, this king will give you fifty thousand taels of silver." ”

"One hundred thousand taels, not a penny less!"

Lars was sure that Hong Xiuquan couldn't help him, and blackmailed him hard.

Lars knew that the more he blackmailed, the angrier Hong Xiuquan became. However, Hong Xiuquan also believed in him more and more. That's why Lars fought for interests again and again. In addition, 100,000 taels of silver were divided between him and his brothers, and it was also a lot of income to get this money, so Lars was very concerned.

Lars was happy, but Hong Xiuquan was angry, but there was deep helplessness. In the end, Hong Xiuquan chose to give in, and said helplessly: "This king will give you 100,000 taels of silver, and you must hold Nanjing." If Li Zhen comes in, this king will kill you first. ”

Lars said, "You can't kill me." ”

As he said this, a smile tugged at the corners of Lars' mouth.

Can't kill this words, there are two meanings.

One is that Lars is 100% sure of holding Nanjing City and can keep Li Zhen out of the city, so that Hong Xiuquan can't find a chance to kill Lars. The second meaning is that Lars is not afraid of Hong Xiuquan, thinking that Hong Xiuquan can't kill him no matter what. Even, Hong Xiuquan can be threatened by him.

Hong Xiuquan waved his hand and said: "You go and prepare, tomorrow is a critical time, this king hopes that you can go all out, don't let this king's 100,000 taels of silver go to waste." ”

Lars shook his head and said, "Before that, please ask Mr. Lars to give us 100,000 taels of silver." Our soldiers are a group of masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and they won't do their best without money. Only the silver of white flowers can attract them and make them go all out. ”

Hong Xiuquan was completely speechless, and ordered: "Come here, take him to the warehouse." ”

Immediately, a soldier led Lars away.

Hong Xiuquan asked Wang Buyi to leave again, then looked at Hong Renda and Hong Renfa, and said in a deep voice: "Say, how did you get in touch with Lars?" You all know the news of Taipingmen, and you have agreed on how to defend Taipingmen, what's going on? ”

Hong Xiuquan's suspicions were fully revealed.

Hong Renfa immediately explained: "Brother Wang, we didn't know the news of Li Zhen's siege at first, because we ran into Lars on the road. He told us the news, so we discussed it and then finalized the plan for the defense. Originally, I wanted to behave in front of Brother Wang, but I didn't expect this guy to change his plan in a blink of an eye, it's too hateful. ”

Hong Renda nodded again and again in agreement. After Hong Xiuquan heard this, his angry expression relaxed, and he let the Hong Renfa brothers leave.
