Chapter 721: The sky-high asking price Sits on the ground and pays back
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Sun Kewang and replied: "Kewang, do you think that the Ming Dynasty will not have the slightest preparation, so let us rush out of Sichuan and take the entire territory of Huguang lightly?" Monkey business! Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, fierce generals like clouds, aren't they all beaten by Zhu Jie, and the soldiers are defeated and will die? Isn't Li Dingguo brave enough? Didn't you still be defeated by Zhu Jie head-on? If we are not completely sure, we will go east and out of Sichuan, that is, the meat buns will never go back! ”
Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this going to form an alliance with the Great Qing Kingdom?" As long as there is such a strong reinforcement as the Manchurian Eight Banners on the side, even if Zhu Jie has great ability, there is no way to divide his energy to deal with us, the entire Tianwei army, maybe we can't beat it, if it is replaced by the officers and soldiers of the guards in other places, the emperor, and the sons of the ministers will not be a problem if they are picked! ”
"Big brother, you can't say that!"
Ai Nengqi on the side spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, we and the Ming Dynasty are both Han people, the same line of China, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Manchurian Tartars, but they are Fanbang, foreign races, not my race, their hearts must be different, these people are capricious and habitual, where is there any faith?" If we help the Manchurian Tartars defeat Zhu Jie, and then destroy the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, the Manchurian Tartars will take revenge when they fall, and bite us back. When the time comes, it makes sense to have a big fist, and you are not even sure that you will fight the Tianwei Army, and when the time comes, you will rush to shake the Eight Banners of Manchuria? This Jiangnan is just a mirror......"
"Third child, what are you talking about?"
Sun Kewang shouted, "Then you mean that you have been nested in the poor mountains and bad waters of Sichuan for the rest of your life?" Could it be that the emperor raised a few of us to grow up and taught us to march and fight, so that we hid in this corner of the place? Lao Tzu would rather fight to the death with the Ming army than I am here for the rest of my life! ”
Ai Nengqi's face was slightly red, and he defended: "Big brother, when did the younger brother ever be greedy for life and afraid of death?" I'm just saying that the Manchurian Tartars are capricious, we can't be careless, and really destroy the Ming Dynasty, so what if the Manchurian Tartars turn their faces and don't admit their accounts? A Yangtze River, do you think it can block the iron hooves and soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria? ”
"Alright, you two don't fight!"
Zhang Xianzhong shouted, "Prime Minister Zuo, tell me, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Wang Zhaolin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is very simple, why not cooperate?" Many friends and many roads, Manchuria rushed to send the business to the door, why don't we? Don't say anything else, millions of taels of silver, don't be in vain, if you can beat us, if you can't beat it, we'll just run! In any case, these millions of taels of silver cannot be thrown out, besides, not to mention that we occupy the entire Jiangnan, even if we take Huguang and Jiangxi as our own, the situation will be greatly improved, these two places have hardly encountered any war, the population is large, and the people's livelihood is rich, which is the best place for us to strengthen our strength......"
Zhang Xianzhong nodded and replied: "Well, I also have this idea in my heart, but I am just afraid of Zhu Jie, and now the Manchurian Eight Banners have dragged all the elites of Zhu Jie in, naturally it is the best time, but I just think that the benefits of their Great Qing Dynasty are not enough, you must understand, now it is their Manchurians who beg us again, not us who ask them again, even if they ask us, they naturally want to ask them for the most generous reward, hehe, how can one million taels of silver be enough?" You go to Sonny through the word, I want 3 million taels of silver, and in addition, I want the Qing Kingdom to provide us with 20,000 war horses, and our cavalry of the Great Western Army is too few! ”
Sun Kewang and Wang Zhaolin glanced at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, wiped it, originally the two of them thought they were greedy enough, and the emperor in front of them was even more greedy, three million taels of silver, and 20,000 war horses! This is enough to form a strong army like the Guanning Iron Cavalry for the Great Western Kingdom, how is it possible? Maybe three million taels of silver, the Qing Kingdom is willing to take it out, but 20,000 war horses? That's 20,000 horses, no amount of money can be exchanged, this is all strategic resources, the moving Great Wall!
"The Emperor's ......"
Wang Zhaolin smiled bitterly: "You are too lion-mouthed, three million taels of silver, 20,000 war horses, now the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty are in full swing, every day the silver is like flowing water, no one is rich these days......
Zhang Xianzhong's face changed, and he snorted coldly: "Huh? Wang Zhaolin, which side are you on? ”
Wang Zhaolin hurriedly replied: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, it is Weichen who lost his word, but, no matter what, the other party will never agree to these three million taels of silver and twenty thousand war horses......"
"Don't you know, the sky is asking for a price, sit on the ground and pay back, if we don't ask for more, then they will cut it down again, then there will be nothing left, I want to pay such a high price, just to leave him room for bargaining, this is not understood?"
Zhang Xianzhong's face was full of treachery, which made Wang Zhaolin speechless, this special thing has become a vegetable market to buy vegetables......
"Wang Zhaolin, this matter will be handed over to you, I will talk about it, and I must strive for the greatest benefits! Money is secondary, the most important thing for us now is to get a batch of war horses and prepare a cavalry to come out! At least 10,000 horses will be obtained for me! ”
Zhang Xianzhong said coldly.
"Obey the order!"
It's just that what Zhang Xianzhong didn't expect was that Wang Zhaolin got 100,000 taels of silver from Sony, once the alliance was completed, there would be 100,000 taels, and Wang Zhaolin had been completely bought, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people.
Wang Zhaolin made a color to Sun Kewang, and the group left the palace.
"Hopefully, brother, let's go, let's go to the post house first, and see what Lord Sony means, Your Majesty, but you really dare to ask for the price......"
Wang Zhaolin complained while walking in the direction of the sedan chair, Su Kewang was a military general, so he jumped directly on the war horse, and the two of them came all the way to the post house.
"What, the emperor of your country actually wants three million taels of silver and twenty thousand war horses? How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable......"
Even if Sony is ready, he is very angry, where is this alliance, it is obviously to seek peace, the alliance under the city, no matter how rich the Qing Kingdom is, no matter how much war horses there are, it can't be so bad......
Looking at Sony's ugly face, Sun Kewang hurriedly replied: "Lord Sony, it's actually simple, as the saying goes, the price is all over the sky, sit on the ground and pay back, can't we bargain, hehe......"
Sony glanced at Sun Kewang and smiled meaningfully......
