Halfway through the words, I saw that several people on the other side frowned, this is not that kind of irritable, but a clear attitude, Governor Zhao Yan simply changed his words and said: "The imperial court set up a new town for you, if you are willing to go to Henan, Huguang, Shanxi and Shaanxi, Zhao Zhaojin can have a position of general soldiers, and the rest of you have official positions in this town, and the soldiers and horses under your command are organized into official troops, and the imperial court will pay the salary, which can be regarded as having a righteous path of glory to the ancestors. ”

Cui Wensheng shook his head slightly, with a little emotion on his face, since the Ming Dynasty, Zhao'an is low-matched, and it is rare for more than 10,000 thieves to get a garrison position, and it is good to have a thousand generals, but after 10,000 people and horses are checked, there are hundreds left, but I didn't expect the DPRK to spend so much money this time, it seems that the key now is the DPRK struggle, as long as the situation here can be stabilized, and Wei Zhongxian's party is completely defeated in the DPRK, and the situation in Xuzhou must be repeated.

But directly to the position of the general army, and set up a single town, no matter what the purpose, this is rich enough, the chief military officer this is the apex of the real power of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to get to this position without a thousand households, this single town is to demarcate a piece, in this area, as long as you don't pull the flag to rebel, you can almost do whatever you want, being targeted by the governor and the magistrate is a trivial matter in the future, and the promise of this Hou Bai will look vain, think about it but not impossible, now the Ming Dynasty is on fire on all sides, With the elite and strength of the Xuzhou people, if they can defend the territory, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and win and lose more than the Ming Dynasty in these years, it is really not impossible to worship the generals, if they can really agree, it will be a happy situation.

The eunuch Cui Wensheng's affection was excited, but then he calmed down, will these lawless and ambitious young people agree to this? If you want to win? With their relationship in the officialdom and his wealth, I am afraid that he would have been the general soldier of a town long ago.

Zhao Yan, the governor over there, was talking happily, but he saw that the other party looked indifferent, and he didn't even exchange the expressions of his eyes, Cui Wensheng on the side sighed, Zhao Yan naturally knew that the other party was not tempted by this condition, Zhao Yan was stunned, and said: "This is the chief military officer, and he wants to be crowned with the title of governor, and he can't do it without a grade of one or two grades, this is the top military general of our Ming Dynasty."

The other party was still indifferent, Cui Wensheng coughed, Zhao Yan turned his head this time without concealment, and looked at Eunuch Cui in surprise, Cui Wensheng hesitated, and also said: "There should be more than this way, Lord Zhao said it, let everyone in Xuzhou refer to it." ”

Zhao Yan frowned, Eunuch Cui's attitude and position are too strange, whether he is on the side of the imperial court, or on the side of this Xuzhou thief, but who would have thought that at the beginning of the conversation came to an impasse, and he came up with the highest conditions at the beginning, Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, and then said: "You may be difficult to leave your homeland, if you are in this Xuzhou land, then there is only one general, the court will give at most one general, two guerrillas and one garrison, and the others will be appointed by themselves, and the soldiers and horses cannot exceed five thousand." ”

Xuzhou is the pivot of the world, and occupying this side is equivalent to cutting off the north and south directly under the waist, and can intervene in Cao Yun at any time, so the imperial court neither wants to agree to be here, nor is it willing to give too much preparation, but this is just wishful thinking on the part of the imperial court.

Zhao Yan, the former secretary of the military department, the current governor of Fengyang, and the ambassador of Zhao'an Xuzhou, saw that after he said this, the other party was still indifferent, did not exchange glances with each other, did not talk in private, and still looked at himself so indifferently, is he still not satisfied with this condition? Zhao Yan frowned, among the conditions given to him by the six cabinets, these two are the highest, and even if these two are negotiated here, the capital may not agree, how can there be no way to impress the other party at all?

So how to talk about it next, the rest of the conditions are more harsh, the military department came up with the recruitment strategy, only give the Xuzhou thief six garrison titles, and can not be stationed in one place, but also check the soldiers and horses, at least the Xuzhou thief side to remove ninety percent, and even someone sent a letter to him, let him negotiate the conditions with the Xuzhou thief, to take part of the other party's business in various industries, if the other party is interested, then the conditions can be relaxed, and even Zhao Yan's own future can be discussed.

These are all whimsical, sitting in the capital and patting their heads to figure it out, this time against the thieves in Xuzhou, Zhao Yan, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, participated a lot, of course he understands what the strength of the other party is, from Hejian Mansion along the canal into Shandong, all the way to Xuzhou, which confirms this, how can the other party stammer with the imperial court, how can he send his own industry out, it is really a big joke.

All the princes in the court felt that although the court was forced to recruit peace this time, this was to give the Xuzhou thief a lot of dignity, and the Xuzhou thief should be grateful, and from then on he entered the right path to be taken care of, but how could it be so?

From the very beginning, Governor Zhao Yan knew that he had to start from the top, even if he promised something unrealistic, he had to agree, otherwise he would have to collapse, but he didn't expect that these few people looked unrealistic, and the other party didn't bother to pay attention to them, so what did they have to do? If the court wants to recruit peace, you will immediately press the troops, isn't this a tacit understanding of sincerity? Is there still a repetition at this time? Or was it because of something else when they stood still or even retreated?

Governor Zhao Yan pondered here for a thousand times, but Cui Wensheng said indifferently: "Zhao Gongzi, everyone, just now Lord Zhao has already said the meaning of the imperial court, since we want to talk, that is, both sides must speak, and you should also talk about your side." ”

Zhao Jin nodded to Wang Zhaojing on the side, and then said: "Since the two of you have brought the paperwork, then write down the conditions for us to wait, don't omit it afterwards, move tables and chairs for these people, and prepare pen and ink and the like." ”

The four staff masters standing behind Cui Wensheng and Zhao Yan did not look very good-looking, they can be guests of such a character, they are not ordinary scholars with no future, they all have a reputation for raising people, the reason why they don't go to officialdom is nothing more than to use the power of the proprietor to go further and plot bigger, but here they are called clericals, which is really annoying, but they can only be annoyed in their hearts.

Annoyed is annoyed, whether it is Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng, or those staff masters, they have no objection to the decision of Zhao Jin and others, whether it is from the overall situation or what they see along the road, they know who is the one who takes the initiative.

The tables and chairs were set up behind Cui Wensheng and Zhao Yan, and the staff went to sit down, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also prepared, and behind Zhao Jin and the others, there were also paperwork to sit down, but what they were holding in their hands was a hard pen similar to a quill pen, which made Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng quite contemptible, thinking that this was not the right way at all.

Wang Zhaojing glanced at Zhao Jin, and then said, "Lord Zhao, Gonggong Cui, first circle the place, and then let's discuss the details." ”

At the beginning, the people who came to Zhao'an in the imperial court were stunned, and Wang Zhaojing didn't care about their reactions, and said to himself: "With Xuzhou as the center, including Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion to the south, this Fengyang Mansion is in addition to the Imperial Mausoleum in Zhongdu, Henan Guide Mansion to the west, and Shandong Yanzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion to the north. ”

Before his words fell, Zhao Yan, Cui Wensheng and the four staff members behind him all changed their faces greatly, and the eunuch Cui Wensheng's face was completely dark, Zhao Yan's face was completely dark, and he stood up and shouted angrily: "You are really arrogant, you only want to cut such a large piece of territory after only a few battles, or the state capital of the heart of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to talk about it, this official would rather die than talk about any deeds of cutting land and seeking peace, and this official also told you, this Ming Dynasty, no one will agree to your arrogant request, hundreds of millions of people, An army of millions will fight you to the death! ”

Compared with the excitement of Zhao Yan, the governor of Fengyang, Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of the Fengyang garrison, was very depressed, holding his forehead with his hand and sighing, while everyone on Zhao Jin's side was smiling, this made Zhao Yan even more angry, feeling that the other party was arrogant and provocative, contemptuous and sneering, this really can't be talked about, was reprimanded to Zhao'an in Xuzhou, maybe there is a black pot on his back, and there is only the road of dismissal and Zhishi in the future, but then he can still go back to his hometown to enjoy wealth and peace, maybe he will be convicted and imprisoned, but there is still the possibility of recovery.

But even if you are unlucky in the political struggle and die in the heavenly prison, you can't agree to the request of cutting the land, if you agree, then you will fall into a situation of no return, not to mention your own bad luck, your family, relatives and even students and friends will be implicated, and you will never be able to turn over, and you will be scolded to death by Qingliu and even the eunuchs.

The Ming Wenchen who is in the center knows one thing, the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty is set according to the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty to Liao, to Jin, to Meng Yuan to negotiate peace, land cutting, compensation, move the capital, all the way back to the country with patience until the death of the country, such a mistake will never be made again, even if Wara captured Ming Yingzong in Tumubao, even if I answered several times to break the defense line of the north, the Ming Dynasty will never meet and waver.

If you agree, it is already cruel to implicate your family for the crime in front of you, and what is even more cruel is that you will be scolded by the history books after death, and you will not be able to turn over for eternity, for Zhao Yan and other high-ranking civil servants are the most unbearable, and this is extremely important.

"Lord Zhao, please sit down, and listen to me, I just circled the place first, I didn't say cutting the land, and don't be impatient!" Wang Zhaojing said with a smile, his tone full of banter.

But Zhao Yan didn't dare to relax in the slightest, but looked at the eunuch Cui Wensheng next to him, Cui Wensheng nodded, this attitude made Zhao Yan put down his snack somewhat, and then sat down again angrily, tense and didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
