With Yang Zai rushing to the camp of King Gongchang, the guards did not dare to let Deng Ming wait for a long time, and while someone rushed in to report, someone took Deng Ming and his party in.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan was discussing military affairs with the generals, and heard that after the Sichuan army stormed the periphery of Ava City, Lianke several villages, and eliminated thousands of Burmese troops, most of the Dian army thought that the Sichuan army had the intention of storming Wacheng, only Bai Wenxuan said that this was Deng Ming's retreat, mostly to make the Burmese army dare not pursue and finally scare them. Bai Wenxuan always abided by the agreement with Deng Ming, and did not announce the order of the King of Jin to the army, and today's military meeting also discussed how the Dian army should cooperate if the Sichuan army wants to storm Wacheng.

After hearing that Deng Ming came, many of the generals of the Yunnan army who participated in the military conference thought that Deng Ming had come to ask the Yunnan army to help in the war, and most of them were not very optimistic about this battle - although the Dian army looted a lot of property, but if they could easily take Wacheng, then they would not be too much - but Wacheng has 50,000 Burmese troops, at least 100,000 strong men, and street battles are fought by the number of people, while the Ming army only has more than 10,000 people, if a melee loses thousands of people, then how should it end?

After seeing Deng Ming enter the door, a general of Bai Wenxuan asked recklessly: "Is Baoguo Gong going to storm Wacheng?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Deng Ming replied quickly.

This confused general was about to admonish when he heard this, but he heard Bai Wenxuan shout angrily: "The general speaks, where is your part to interject?" ”

This Xiying military general was stunned for a moment, and then saw that there was a Burmese envoy who came with Deng Ming, of course Deng Ming could not have lost his prestige in front of the enemy envoy, and Bai Wenxuan reprimanded him sharply because he was afraid that this guy with no long eyes would say something that pulled his hind legs.

At this time, Yang Zai also walked in the door, and Deng Ming smiled at Bai Wenxuan: "This person claims to be Yang Ge Lao, and I haven't seen it, so I ask General Bai to identify it." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang saw Bai Wenxuan in the middle at a glance, and shouted happily: "I can be regarded as seeing the king again." ”

"Yang ......" After Bai Wenxuan saw the comer, he raised his hands and made a fist clenching motion, but this action suddenly froze and slowly drooped down.

Just when Deng Ming felt strange, Bai Wenxuan coughed: "Is this Yang Ge Lao?" It seems to be a bit like, I can't remember exactly how many years I haven't seen. ”

"Is the king joking?" Yang Zai was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "How could the king not remember the lower official? Countless questions popped up in Yang's heart, and he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I have eaten too poorly these days and am no longer human?" ”

Bai Wenxuan glanced at Deng Ming, and then looked at Yang Zai: "I can't recognize you a little, by the way, what will you bring?" Do you want us to withdraw from the army? ”

"King, I am indeed Yang Zai." Yang Zai felt even more inexplicable, and Bai Wenxuan's attitude made his second monk puzzled, the other party was not in a hurry to confirm his identity, but anxiously asked what he brought, Bai Wenxuan's thinking was too jumpy, so that Yang Zai couldn't keep up. When Yang was shouting to reveal his identity, his mind was already in a mess: "What purpose did I bring and whether I recognized me or not, does Yang Zai think it has anything to do with it?" How can these two sentences be said together? ”

Deng Ming on the side smiled dumbly, he remembered that the last time he tore the holy decree, his words were similar to today, and Bai Wenxuan's current performance was probably the sequelae of the last "false edict".

"Lord Yang's identity has nothing to do with the holy decree he brought." Deng Mingqiang couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly said to Bai Wenxuan.

"yes, that's okay." Yang Zai nodded in agreement, then began to be confused again, and turned his head to look at Deng Ming: "Why does it matter?" ”

"Is it okay?" Bai Wenxuan was not answering Yang Zai, but confirmed to Deng Ming once again that all the officers in the camp were now, not like last time when he and Deng Ming were standing on a high platform, and it would not be easy to regret it if he admitted it.

"Does it really matter?" Yang Zai turned his head to Bai Wenxuan again, he was completely stunned.

"It doesn't matter." Deng Ming felt that the muscles on his face were about to cramp, and he wanted to rush to laugh wildly, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, he could only answer Yang Zai seriously, and he was also answering Bai Wenxuan.

"Well, this is indeed Elder Yang Ge." Bai Wenxuan's expression relaxed, and he walked over to greet Yang Zai affectionately: "Ge Lao and I have drunk so many wines, how can I not recognize Ge Lao?" ”

With Bai Wenxuan taking the lead, other generals of the Dian army also greeted Yang Zai together: "Ge Lao." ”

Only the Burmese envoy brought by Deng Ming had a gloomy face, he had already seen Deng Ming tear the holy decree last time, and this time, as a bystander, he quickly figured out the meaning of Deng Ming and Bai Wenxuan's set of dumb riddles.

"The Burmese have promised to return the Son of Heaven, the Cabinet, the nobles, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards, and their families." Deng Ming said loudly.

The generals in the camp were stunned, could it be that because of the short offensive of the Sichuan army in the past two days, the Burmese people had completely lost their fighting spirit?

"And we will leave Burma after receiving the Son of Heaven," Deng Ming continued, when the Burmese envoy said this request just now, Deng Ming also sneered a few words, saying that this was the original condition of the Ming army, if Burma honestly handed over the people as soon as possible, then Ba Mo would not be lost: "But the Burmese people do not know that we are a country of etiquette, for fear that we will regret it, and they will not leave after receiving the Son of Heaven; That's why the Burmese want us to withdraw first, and then they release them. ”

Including Bai Wenxuan, everyone stared at Deng Ming, who made a generous statement, even the simplest guy in this camp did not believe that Burma would release people after the Ming army retreated.

"Of course, this is an insult to my grandeur, but Myanmar is a foreign country, and I think we can have a lot of adults and not worry about them. The counter-suggestion I put forward is: For the sake of the face of Yang Ge today, we will not attack the city tomorrow; If Wacheng begins to release people the day after tomorrow, we will continue to cease fire, when will we release the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest and their families, and when will we retreat fifty miles; Then there were the imperial historians and attendant officials (including the sons of Wen Anzhi), and after receiving these people, we began to withdraw our troops to Bamo, and when we arrived at Bamo, the Burmese would release the old monk of the pavilion - and we continued to retreat to Tengchong, and stationed at the border until we saw the Son of Heaven. ”

Hearing this, Bai Wenxuan glanced at the Burmese envoy coldly, noncommittal, but he felt that Deng Ming was scheming, so he didn't need to break it himself.

"In addition, I also asked the king of Burma to compensate our army for the military expenses and grain of this trip. If he had agreed to our terms earlier, then we would not have had to enter the country at all. The military expenses of 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army, well, totaled one million taels of gold. After Deng Ming finished speaking, he asked Bai Wenxuan: "What is the military expenditure of the Dian army this time?" ”

Without waiting for Bai Wenxuan to answer, Deng Ming looked at Di Sanxi again: "How much did the Jianchang Army spend on this time?" ”

Di Sanxi only brought a team of cavalry, and the rest of the people were auxiliaries who carried food, and they also had a bulging pocket, he heard Deng Ming say one million taels of gold, and thought about it in his heart: "Commander Deng's two thousand soldiers are one million, and my armor doesn't even have one-tenth of him, how about one hundred thousand?" It's not taking advantage of Admiral Deng, is it? ”

"Eighty thousand taels of gold." Di Sanxi said his number with one mouth.

"A hundred cavalrymen came, and each of them spent an average of eight hundred taels of gold, good fellow, these are all gold saddles, silver shoes, right?" After Deng Ming heard this number, such a thought came to his heart.

"Where can there be so little?" Deng Ming said dissatisfiedly: "King Qingyang just spent such a little money? You don't have to save money for the King of Burma! In this way, I will be the king of Qingyang for this matter, 250,000 taels of gold. ”

Now Bai Wenxuan also understands that Deng Ming asked for 1 million for 8,000 people, and Di Sanxi asked for 200,000 for Jianchang, so he came for 10,000 himself......

"One million taels." Bai Wenxuan decided to be polite to Deng Ming.

"One million two hundred and fifty thousand." Deng Ming really brought up the number, turned to the Burmese envoy and said: "A total of 2.5 million taels of gold can be repaid in ten years, pay 100,000 taels before we retreat from Wacheng City, and pay another 100,000 taels when we leave the border."

"That's too much......" the Burmese envoy tried to argue.

"That's why I asked you to pay 100,000 taels first, and then 100,000 taels at the border, and the rest depends on what you do, grain, ivory, and precious stones can be covered, and if you are obedient, the rest is not inevitable." Deng Ming glared at the envoy: "Don't go back and report to the master, is this also something you can say?" ”

After sending off the Burmese envoys, Bai Wenxuan put Deng's name aside, and Di Sanxi, as a representative of the Qingyang Army, was also on the sidelines.

"The Burmese will not give the emperor back to us." Bai Wenxuan clearly pointed out that this was a delaying tactic by the Burmese: "They just want us to withdraw first, so that they can collect grain and grass and mobilize reinforcements." ”

"What General Bai said is extremely true, but anyway, we have to withdraw from the army, and it is better to have 100,000 taels of gold than nothing. Moreover, the Burmese guessed that we would not keep our promises, and the emperor was their last talisman, and they would never return it to us until the city was broken. Deng Ming smiled, if the Burmese really kept the contract, he would be in some trouble: "So they won't pay it back, and we won't withdraw from the Burmese border, we will continue to support the reckless." ”

After returning to his military camp, Deng Ming summoned all the religious leaders who supported the reckless, told them his terms of negotiation and his prediction that the reckless would inevitably break the treaty, and assured them that the Ming army would not abandon their allies.

However, the mentality of these people is different from Bai Wenxuan, these days they have collected grain and grass for the Ming army, and also formed an army to help the Ming army stabilize the security of the rear, if Mang Bai regains control of northern Burma, they will definitely not have good fruit to eat; Besides, it is not easy to get a large area of land and the right to rule in your hands, and you haven't warmed it up yet.

"What if Mang Bai really releases the Son of Heaven?" The religious leaders all looked worried.

"There is also a military compensation of 2.5 million gold, I said that it can be exempted, but I can also avoid it, if I don't pay the compensation, I will not leave northern Myanmar, and the 100,000 taels that leave the country can be understood as the last payment." Deng Ming didn't know what was going on in Wacheng, but judging from Mang Bai's eagerness to reach an agreement, he urgently needed to make peace with the Ming army immediately: "Besides, I haven't calculated the interest yet, you know: compound breath is the greatest force in this universe!" ”

Religious leaders were also aware of the dangers of borrowing, and one of them said, "Bao Guogong is so right." ”

"It's not me saying it, it's a Tessie scholar, well, a scholar I respect very much, and you certainly haven't heard of his name."

"Really?" Many people will be suspicious that the exchanges between Myanmar and Europe are closer than those between China and Europe, and the Taixi scholars who can be admired very much by the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty must be quite good, otherwise they will not be able to enter the eyes of the Baoguo Gong who holds heavy troops. ”
