Chapter 1164: Surrender of Troops

The next day, Qin Liugan finally went to Yun Zheng again to negotiate.

It was called a negotiation, but in fact it was just telling Yun Zheng Yun Li’s bottom line directly.

Four million taels of silver, two million dan of grain, and three hundred thousand pieces of cloth.

As for warships, there is not a single one!

Of course, Yun Li still hoped that Qin Liu would dare to have another good talk with Yun Zheng, and it would be best if he could give him a discount on this basis.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

Qin Liu dared not beat around the bush with Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Then it'll be four million taels of silver, one million and eight hundred thousand dan of grain, and four hundred thousand pieces of cloth!"

"You are not a kind boy!"

Qin Liu dared to puff up his eyes and said, "Why do you want more cloth? How can I report this to you?"

"Don't worry, Lord Rong. How can I cheat you?" Yun Zheng smiled and explained, "If you negotiate lower than the bottom line set by the third brother, it will be difficult to report..."

This is a very simple truth.

It’s not like the third brother doesn’t know who he is.

I did leave him some room for bargaining, but if Qin Liu dared to negotiate all the conditions that were just lower than the bottom line set by the third brother, even if the third brother didn't doubt it, I'm afraid the old fox around him would also doubt it.

The third brother and the people around him must see from the quantity of these things he asked for that Qin Liugan was still trying hard to gain benefits for the court, but there were some issues that could not be negotiated.

In this way, Qin Liugan would not be suspected.

After listening to Yun Zheng's explanation, Qin Liugan couldn't help but think secretly.

If you put it that way, there is some truth to it.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Liugan stared at Yun Zheng with suspicion again: "I say, are you sure you are not trying to trick me?"

"Why would I cheat you?"

Yunzheng couldn't laugh or cry.

No matter what, he would never cheat Qin Liugan!

Although he always slandered Qin Liugan as an old rogue in his heart, he still respected Qin Liugan.

Qin Liugan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's it!"

As he said that, Qin Liugan slapped the table directly and shouted angrily: "Dream on! Do you think I was scared? Go to the Imperial City and ask, when has I ever been afraid?"

"Duke Rong, please be patient."

Yun Zheng said calmly with a smile: "This is already the biggest concession I have made! If it weren't for my father's sake, why would I sit here and talk to you?"

"Are you worthy enough to mention His Majesty?"

Qin Liugan clenched his fist tightly, his eyes wide open with anger: "I advise you to be a king who guards the border for Daqian. Cherish your reputation and don't let your descendants be branded as traitors!"

"Prince Jingguo is joking."

Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "I am not taking these things to fill my own pockets, but to use them to attack the Li Dynasty and prepare for the future expedition to the Yu Kingdom..."

Next, the two started a tug of war.

Qin Liugan sometimes roared and sometimes remained silent.

On the other hand, Yun Zheng remained calm from beginning to end.

Half an hour later, Qin Liugan walked out with a dark face.

As soon as he reached the door, Qin Liugan bumped into the guards guarding the gate of the governor's mansion.

"Blind your dog eyes!"

Qin Liu dared to roar angrily and kicked the guard to the ground.

"Somebody come!"

Yun Zheng's face darkened as he pointed at Qin Liugan's two guards and said, "These two people just dared to glare at me viciously. Drag them away and give them twenty lashes of the cane!"

"you dare!"

Qin Liu dared to stop him immediately.

"Why wouldn't the king dare?"

Yun Zheng snorted coldly and waved his hand lightly.

After receiving Yun Zheng's order, a group of royal guards rushed forward without hesitation and forcibly took down Qin Liugan's two guards despite his obstruction.

Soon, screams of two people were heard in the governor's mansion.

Qin Liugan was extremely angry, but he could do nothing but smash the stone lions at the gate of the governor's mansion to vent his anger.

……

Seven days later, Qin Liu dared to leave Gan Tang.

Before leaving, Yun Zheng specially asked Qin Liugan to help Tong Ying ask for credit in the court.

He also believed that the third brother would certainly not hesitate to reward people like Tong Ying.

For the third brother and the imperial court, Tong Ying can be set as a role model.

In the past few days, Qin Liugan sent people to Gantang City every day to spread the news, saying that the court would give Yun Zheng food and military supplies, and Yun Zheng would use those food and military supplies to attack the Li Dynasty and prepare to destroy the Yu Kingdom.

Thanks to Qin Liugan's unremitting efforts, the news that Yun Zheng was going to attack the Li Dynasty spread throughout Gan Tang.

Yun Zheng naturally gained a good reputation, and the imperial court and the crown prince Yun Li also gained a reputation for being magnanimous.

To ordinary people, everything seems so harmonious.

Many people even began to fantasize that Yun Zheng and the imperial army would join forces to destroy the Yu Kingdom in one fell swoop and kill all the Yu people.

"Are you guys overacting? Aren't you tired of acting all day long?"

On the way to the military camp, Miaoyin couldn't help but complain about Yun Zheng and Qin Liu's daring to come.

"Who wouldn't be tired after acting like this all day long?"

Yun Zheng smiled helplessly, "But there is no other way. If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first! This is a matter of great importance to the stability of the court, and we cannot be careless."

He doesn't want to act either!

He also wanted to brag and drink with Qin Liu all day without any trouble.

But isn’t this forced by the situation?

They can laugh at the third child for being stupid, but they cannot really treat him as a fool.

Miaoyin smiled and said with emotion: "Sometimes, I really don't want to deal with people like you. You are more cunning than the other. I don't even know if you can tell the difference between truth and falsehood!"

Yun Zheng blinked and smiled, "Anyway, it's enough for you to know that I don't have any bad intentions towards you..."

He doesn't want to be so cunning!

But now that he is in this position, he must be careful.

Otherwise, no matter how much power he has or how many soldiers he has, he cannot fail to guarantee that he will not be eaten by others until not even a bone is left.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the camp.

Yun Zheng ordered Shen Kuan to gather all the soldiers in the camp, and then he went up to the platform on the parade ground to review the generals.

"General Tong has entrusted you to me, please treat you well!"

"I will leave Gantang soon. If you are willing to follow me and make great contributions to Daqian, you can bring your families and follow me to Fuzhou!"

"If you are unwilling to follow me, I will never force you to do so!"

Yun Zheng made a long story short and left the choice to the soldiers in the camp.

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the soldiers on the parade ground immediately began to whisper.

Yun Zheng raised his hand slightly to stop the soldiers from whispering to each other, and said loudly: "If you are willing to follow this king, go to Commander Shen to sign up. If it is inconvenient for you to bring your family, each person will be given thirty taels of silver as resettlement allowance!"

After saying that, Yun Zheng stopped talking and walked straight to the platform.

How to choose depends entirely on these people themselves.

In fact, whether these people are willing to follow him has little impact on him.

He has no shortage of troops.

If he wanted, he could always raise another 200,000 troops.

He said this to these people, more to give an explanation to Tong Ying who committed suicide...
