Zhao Jin smiled indifferently, Ji Xiang was disdainful on his face, Ruhui couldn't help shaking his head there, Wang Zhaojing was still gentle, and said: "In these prefectures and counties I mentioned just now, the number of officers and troops must remain unchanged, and the transfer of officers and troops must be notified to the Xuzhou General's Mansion in advance. ”

"General Xuzhou?" Cui Wensheng repeated, Wang Zhaojing turned around and stretched out his hand to signal: "My eldest brother is the general of Xuzhou, who has jurisdiction over the Zhao family army and the military, government and civil affairs of various prefectures and counties!" ”

"What's the use of such an unjustifiable official position, why not be canonized by the imperial court, and the general soldier of this town is also with the general's seal." Speaking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but say a few words, thinking that the other party had disliked the name of the general soldier before because he did not have the title of general.

"My name can only be determined by myself, and no one else can give it." Zhao Jin replied, and Zhao Yan was immediately choked back, and a burst of annoyance flashed on his face, but he didn't mention it anymore.

After Wang Zhaojing finished speaking, he waited for the other party's response, Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng didn't make a sound, the two sides were so quiet for a while, even the sound of brushing the records of the two sides stopped, Wang Zhaojing looked at the other party in surprise, Zhao Yan also felt that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you continue?" ”

"Lord Zhao and Gonggong Cui don't have anything to say about that article just now?" Wang Zhaojing asked.

The two of them glanced at each other, and Cui Wensheng said, "Please continue to talk about Wang Gongzi, and let's discuss it from the beginning when we are finished." ”

However, this attitude shows that the opinion on this article is not too big, Wang Zhaojing smiled self-deprecatingly, and would rather die than give in, but he didn't care much about the requirements for limiting the number of officers and troops and the transfer, and it was really a big reputation.

"In the surroundings of the place I just mentioned, the transfer of the official army to the Xuzhou General's Mansion must also be notified, this is not mandatory, but if there is any misunderstanding because of the reckless action, everyone must not want to see it." After Wang Zhaojing finished speaking, he looked at the other party, and then turned his head to glance at Zhao Jin, and then continued to state.

"In the prefectures and counties just mentioned, the imperial court shall not reduce or exempt money and grain taxes without authorization, shall not give favors and rewards without authorization, except for the civil and military officials in various places, shall not add additional official offices without authorization, please note that if the imperial court and the official government mess around on this, it will be regarded as the transfer of troops and horses, and the Xuzhou General's Mansion will not tolerate it." Wang Zhaojing no longer had a smile on his face, and his statement was very strict.

Over there, Zhao Yan, the governor of Fengyang, sneered, and said sarcastically: "This official still thinks that you don't want the imperial court to increase the tax on money and grain, so it turns out that you can't reduce or exempt it, so do you want to do this act of giving favors to collect the hearts of the people?" ”

"Lord Zhao, first, the money and grain collected by the imperial court in these places in the past few years were all collected and paid by Xuzhou, so the imperial court should not make trouble with false feelings, and second, the imperial court's Liao salary and taxes have dried up the lamps in these places, do you think the imperial court and the government still have the hearts of the people?" Wang Zhaojing retorted-for-tat.

Governor Zhao Yan was stunned, but he couldn't confirm the first thing Wang Zhaojing said, turned his head and asked Cui Wensheng in a low voice, Eunuch Cui could only sigh and tell the truth, Zhao Yan's face was gloomy again, but he didn't say anything anymore, but at this time Wang Zhaojing also had a disdainful smile on his face, he was so righteous and awe-inspiring before, but in fact, what he said now are real land cutting moves, Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng are very calm.

It seems that this festival is big, but only the name festival is the largest, as long as it is not infamy, as long as it is not regarded as a land cut to negotiate peace, then it doesn't matter so much.

"Then let's continue to talk about it, we have the freedom to trade with the world, and the imperial court and government must not interfere."

"Profit-seekers, how can the imperial court care about this with you."

At this time, Zhao Yan no longer had the grace of the previous Shangshu and the current governor, but his words were mean, every time Wang Zhaojing said a word, he wanted to ridicule two sentences, and the eunuch Cui Wensheng and the staff were all bored.

Wang Zhaojing didn't care about this, just smiled, and then continued to state: "My Xuzhou ship only has the right to berth and trade in various ports and establish a trading house, and the following three places must be arranged immediately, the first is the Dengzhou Military Port in Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong, the second is Tianjin Port in Tianjin, and the third is the Phidao Port. ”

Zhao Yan took a sip of the tea bowl, the quality and taste of the tea made him very dissatisfied, his brows furrowed, but at this time he couldn't care about this, Zhao Yan tilted his head and discussed a few words with Cui Wensheng, and the eunuch Cui Wensheng said: "This Dengzhou military port is easy to say, you Xuzhou has already reached out, and everything you should know is known, but this Tianjin port is the sea gateway of Beijing, how can you let you get close, this can never be promised, as for this Phidao military port, if you want to go, then go!" ”

"Grandpa Cui, Lord Zhao, what we talked about today, can you all agree immediately?" Wang Zhaojing suddenly asked.

Cui Wensheng and Zhao Yan both shook their heads, Wang Zhaojing's statement can only be discussed by the cabinet, and then let the emperor allow it to be implemented, how can the two of them be in charge, this answer is also expected by Wang Zhaojing, he said slowly: "Since neither of you can be the master, then why argue, just report back what is stated below." ”

These merciless words made the two respected adults and eunuchs flush with anger, but soon they were helpless, Wang Zhaojing said very reasonably, whether the two of them argued or refuted, they couldn't change anything, this direct words made the scene silent again, Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng were speechless, the staff documents behind them had already been recorded, but looking at the content recorded on the paper, these scholars who were proficient in general affairs and government affairs would rather never write it themselves, What do the governors and eunuchs think about the governors and eunuchs who don't meet in advance, they have always felt that the Ming Dynasty will last for a long time, and what disasters such as Mongolia, Jurchen, and Tusi are just scabies, and the Daming who seems to be struggling will survive and then continue to walk.

In the hearts of these scholars, the Xuzhou thieves are just treacherous people who gather and take risks for profit, but the risk is successful, and the official army wins, since the luck wins, the court promises to recruit An, then this side should be peaceful, there will be no harm at all, and it may even be a help, and now there are too few powerful soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty.

I can think so much, I participated in the Zhao'an talk today, saw the requirements of these Xuzhou thieves, and saw the attitude of these Xuzhou thieves, all of our expectations collapsed, seeing these recorded on the paper, recalling the words just now, several scholars reluctantly thought of one thing, this Daming may not go far

Although Governor Zhao Yan was choked by these words, he recovered quickly, he just went back to the record to see, there were not many words, and the ink had not dried, but Zhao Yan's expression became heavier and heavier.

"I'm afraid the court won't agree to what you mentioned." Zhao Yan said astringently, his face even more gray.

"It was the imperial court that took the initiative to negotiate peace, we put forward this condition, did not cut the land, did not set up a banner, and did not ask for compensation, what we mentioned is just the status quo, as for the matter of these three military ports, is it that the maritime merchants in Tianjin Port will have less goods, those maritime merchants in the yamen can be called the Japanese cowards, and we only need the imperial court to give a promise, and there is no need to make a certificate on paper, such a condition The imperial court does not agree, then there is no sincerity to negotiate peace!" Wang Zhaojing explained gently.

"It's Zhao'an, it's Zhao'an!" Zhao Yan emphasized two sentences in a muffled voice, and then looked at Cui Wensheng for help, the eunuch Cui Wensheng sighed, and said: "In all fairness, your conditions are not excessive, if Gonggong Wei is in control of the government, he will probably agree after bargaining, but now that the clear stream in the DPRK is gradually gaining momentum, this time Zhao'an should have you bowed your head and taken refuge, but you don't want an official position, but you offer such conditions, there will inevitably be people who say that you have ill intentions, if you agree, whoever is a traitor to the country, who is a eunuch and a traitor, The Qingliu Party's habit of doing things can be expected by our family, and they will inevitably not retreat a single step, and even have to use a large army to crusade. ”

Governor Zhao Yan nodded, Donglin Qingliu just doesn't talk about any practice, and focuses on the so-called fundamental, the so-called sage righteousness, in such a seemingly honest but rigid style of doing things, there is no room for accommodation and flexibility, not even improvisation, what results can be easily guessed.

Eunuch Cui over there said earnestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time the imperial court has the intention of recruiting peace, don't you Xuzhou also take the initiative to retreat?" Our family also knows that now is the critical time for spring ploughing, you don't want to hurt the peasants and lack of grain, since you don't want to fight, then talk about the result of not fighting, why make such easy to talk about the collapse of the conditions? ”

Everyone can judge and speculate on the overall situation and reason, and the reason why this battle does not want to be fought until February, March and later is because one side is in a hurry to open up the water transportation, and the other side cannot delay the spring plowing plan.

Wang Zhaojing smiled, turned his head to look at Zhao Jin, and then said: "Gonggong Cui, the reason why we retreated is to show our sincerity, and putting forward such conditions is also a kind of sincerity of our sincerity, but if the court is not sincere, it should be fought or fought, and it must be easy to talk about winning or losing again." ”

No one said that Wang Zhaojing's words were arrogant, Zhao Yan and Cui Wensheng both witnessed this battle in the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse in different aspects, knowing that the other party had the confidence to say so, Zhao Yan shook his head and said in a astringent voice: "If you say so, then what else to talk about?" ”
