The embarrassment flashed across Wang Bao's face.
Gao Zhongyun had no intention of letting Wang Bao go just like that, and continued: "Let's talk about Xinping Fort. When our proprietor was the guard of Xinping Fort, Xinping Fort could be said to be full of merchants, but because of a bullshit rumor, we were forced to The Lord had to resign, and because of your greed, the merchants going to and from Xinpingbao fled and dispersed. Many businessmen who had lived in Xinpingbao for a long time had their families destroyed by you. What a prosperous place, it has not yet fully bloomed. , has already fallen."
"The Holy One did not dismiss Liu Heng from office. Liu Heng resigned because he had a guilty conscience and had long had the intention of treason." Wang Bao said, staring at Gao Zhongyun.
He didn't care at all about the life and death of the merchants in Xinping Fort who were engaged in lowly livelihoods. If Liu Heng hadn't been the guard of Xinping Fort, a white merchant would not have the qualifications to enter his general military mansion.
He accepted the money from the Tiger Flag because Liu Heng was an official in Datong. If he switched to a business with no background, he would not accept the money from the other party, but would swallow the bones in his stomach.
Gao Zhongyun said with a sneer: "So it's our proprietor's fault!"
"Liu Heng committed a rebellious act, which is an unforgivable crime, and you were just deceived. If you are willing to change your mind, I can ask the court to pardon you. In the future, being an official of my Ming Dynasty will be far better than being a rioter." Strong." Wang Bao began to persuade Gao Zhongyun and others to surrender.
The two battles made him understand that the Tiger Flag's army was all elite soldiers.
If such a large army could be brought over, he felt that not only could the Tiger Character Banner's offensive be defused, but it might even be possible to eradicate the Tiger Character Banner in one fell swoop.
He believed that it would be impossible for these bandit leaders not to be tempted by the opportunity to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning, Liu Heng also accepted the imperial court's recruitment and chose to be the defender of the fort.
"This is to recruit us!" Gao Zhongyun turned around and said to the other people in the room with a smile.
Liu Qingzhou and others in the room grinned.
Seeing this, Wang Bao thought that the recruitment was possible, so he continued: "When Liu Heng was recruited by the imperial court, he was just a fourth-grade border fort guard. As long as you are willing to lead the army to accept the recruitment, I can grant you a deputy general." As for the position of a soldier, you must know that the deputy chief soldier is from the second rank, which is much higher than the fourth rank guard general."
As for whether he could give the position of deputy commander-in-chief to these bandit leaders after recruiting them, that was a matter for the court. At this moment, he really wanted to recruit these people.
More than 10,000 bandits can easily defeat the official army of 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is enough to prove the eliteness of this army of bandits.
He felt that even the slave thief Bai Jia boasted about in Liaodong was only at this level.
"Bah, who cares about your black gauze hats and eunuchs? I don't even want them for free." Tan Zaiwang, who was closest to Wang Bao, spat fiercely on the ground.
"That's right. If I want to be an official, I want to be an official given by our boss. I don't want any of Ming's shit officials." Liu Qingzhou cursed.
The Tiger Character Banner's army on the grassland was several times that of Datong.
Now that they have the opportunity to become the founding heroes of the country, and be granted titles and become prime ministers in the new dynasty, how can they value the position of deputy commander-in-chief given by the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, they are not ordinary bandits. Reading wisely allows them to understand many things. How could they not know that such a high position as deputy commander-in-chief can only be decided by a mere commander-in-chief.
"Being able to serve the Ming Dynasty is better than being a thief for the rest of your life. Besides, you really think that Liu Heng and the tiger-character flag can exist forever. When the imperial army arrives in the future, they will definitely clear the world and kill the rebels." Wang Bao threatened. .
What he said with his mouth was what he thought in his heart.
Even if the Tiger Character Banner could succeed for a while and occupy Xuanda and other places, it would still not be an opponent of the imperial court. It would be a matter of time before it was wiped out.
"There is a saying that people who are different do not work together. It seems that there is nothing to say between you and me, but you can rest assured that I will not kill you for the time being." Gao Zhongyun said in a calm tone.
At the same time, he no longer had the interest to continue talking to Wang Bao.
As for what Wang Bao said about recruiting people, he was not interested at all.
With the current strength of the Tiger Flag, there may not be any chance of conquering the world. To say the least, even if the Tiger Flag cannot conquer the world, it can still retreat to the grassland to protect itself.
And he had long been accustomed to the Tiger Character Banner's own system, and he despised those officials in the Ming Dynasty who had nothing to do with their bodies. How could he be willing to serve as officials in the same court as these people.
Wang Bao was unwilling to give up and said, "You'd better think carefully about my position as an official. Being an official of the Ming Dynasty has a better future than following Liu Heng, a traitor."
"Take him down and hold him in solitary confinement." Gao Zhongyun waved to the soldiers in the room.
Two soldiers came up, took Wang Bao from the cavalry under Tan Zaiwang, and escorted him outside.
"Recruitment is the right way. Being a rebel will only lead to the annihilation of the nine tribes. You are all my wise men, why should you follow a traitor to the end? As long as you are upright, the court will never treat you badly."
Wang Bao was forcibly escorted out by two soldiers, and he continued to persuade Gao Zhongyun and others to surrender.
"The Ming Dynasty has long been on the verge of collapse, and a change of dynasty is imminent. They actually want us to surrender to the dog court." Liu Qingzhou snorted coldly.
The Tiger Flag is not just a bandit who only knows how to stay in one place.
The situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty will be transmitted back through the caravans and spies of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, compiled into documents, and distributed to the officers at all levels of the Tiger Character Banner and the shopkeepers and accountants who work.
If you were a bandit leader who couldn't read a single Chinese character, you might still not be able to understand such a copywriting, but within the Tiger Character Banner, countless analyzes had already been done to determine that the Ming Dynasty would not last long, and that chaos might occur at any time. .
The greatest benefit brought to the Tiger Flag by knowing these news about the Ming Dynasty through the copywriting is that it makes the Tiger Flag more united. No one will choose to jump on the Ming Dynasty, a broken ship that may sink at any time, just for a little selfish gain. .
Originally, only Liu Heng knew that the Ming Dynasty would perish, but now most of the officers under the Tiger Banner are certain of this.
"Are you Zhou Tong, the commander of the Tiancheng Guard?" Gao Zhongyun looked at the other prisoner who was brought in.
thump!
When Zhou Tong heard his name being called, his legs softened and he fell to the ground.
Gao Zhongyun looked at Zhou Tong who was slumped on the ground, with a look of disgust in his eyes.
The Ming Dynasty used generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death. How could the country survive?
"Our assistant master is asking you, are you Zhou Tong?" Liu Qingzhou said with a frown.
As the first person to break into the city, he allowed such a waste to escape from the city, and was finally caught by Tan Zaiwang who was guarding outside the city. This made him very depressed.
