After hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji's expression became strange.
He was very familiar with the behavior of the Tiger Flag army near Shanhaiguan.
After thinking about it, he understood why he was familiar with it, because Daikin had also done this to Daming, but the scope of it was larger and wider, and it was not limited to those wealthy families, but also ordinary people. The goal.
"It seems that the tiger thieves will not be short of food and grass for the time being." Huang Taiji, who had robbed the Ming Dynasty, knew very well that the tiger banner army could rob a few large households and it would be enough to finance the army's food expenses for several months.
As long as there is no shortage of money and food, the stability of the army can be guaranteed, because Daikin relies on robbery to maintain the warlike enthusiasm of the army.
Fan Wencheng said: "It is a good thing for the Great Khan and Dajin that the tiger thief does not take action. As long as Zu Dashou surrenders, the Great Khan can take Shanhaiguan at lightning speed. By then, the tiger thief will not only have nothing but nothing." In one trip, we lost such an important pass as Shanhaiguan."
"I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly." Huang Taiji looked thoughtful.
Fan Wencheng said: "Gao Di has promised that as soon as Da Jin's army arrives, he will immediately open the city gate and surrender. I feel that Gao Di will not deceive me on this matter."
"I am not doubting Gao Di." Huang Taiji shook his head slightly and said immediately, "The tiger thieves sent a large army to Shanhaiguan, and it must be Shanhaiguan. Although they have not attacked by force now, it will be a matter of time before they do it, so time is delayed. The longer it goes, the worse it will be for Daikin.”
Fan Wencheng said hesitantly: "If Zu Dashou continues to waver and not submit to Dai Jin, Dai Jin's army will not be able to bypass the Ningjin defense line and reach Shanhaiguan."
"Then don't give Zu Dashou a chance to delay." Huang Taiji clenched his fists and said to Obai on the side, "Immediately send someone to Ning Wan's place. Even if you promise more benefits, you must persuade Zu Dashou to surrender to Daijin immediately. .”
"Hey." Obai turned around and retreated to convey Huang Taiji's order.
Ning Wan and I went to Ningyuan City under disguise. If we want to find the person, we need to go through Da Jin's spies in Ningyuan City, so the people behind the spies are the people behind the spies that Obai conveys his orders to.
When Fan Wencheng heard Huang Taiji calling Ning Wanwo his order, he immediately guessed that Huang Taiji was dissatisfied with Ning Wanwo. Thinking of this, he said: "Otherwise, I should just go and see this Zu Dashou, maybe I can get him." It has some effect.”
"Mr. Fan has just come back from Shanhaiguan. He has already worked very hard. Zu Dashou's affairs will be handed over to Mr. Ning, who is more familiar with the situation. Changing generals at the last minute will easily make Zu Dashou realize that Dai Jin pays too much attention to him, so he The idea came up that he could blackmail Dai Jin." Huang Taiji rejected Fan Wencheng's request to go to Ningyuan.
For him, balance can better control Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo. Once one of them becomes bigger, the balanced situation will be broken, which is not good for him, a great Khan.
"Since the Great Khan does not want my servant to go, then my servant will stay with the Great Khan and accompany him." Fan Wencheng realized that Huang Taiji did not want him to go to Ningyuan, so he no longer asked to take over Ning Wan's errand.
As for Ning Wan, things really didn't go well for me.
Although Gao Di was a civil servant, his official position was bigger and he was often easier to win over. On the contrary, Zu Dashou, even though he was just a military commander, valued actual interests, so he had to pay a greater price to win over.
"Mr. Zu, how are you thinking?" Ning Wanwo asked with a smile when he saw Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou said: "This general can surrender to Dai Jin, but I have a requirement."
"I wonder what the request is?" Ning Wanwo asked.
No matter what the request was, as long as it was not too much, he had already decided to agree to Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou hesitated for a moment and said: "General Ningjin's defense line is not decided by me alone. I think you guys definitely want to take down the entire Ningjin defense line. To do this, I will need to use money to stop the mouths of others." , after receiving the silver, those people may join the general and submit to Dajin."
"How much money do you want?" Ning Wanwo frowned.
Things like official positions were easy to negotiate, but he didn't dare to make the final decision when it came to money. It all depended on how much Zu Dashou wanted. If it was a small amount, he could directly agree first.
Zu Dashou raised his right hand and extended a finger.
"Ten thousand taels?" Ning Wanme breathed a sigh of relief.
Although ten thousand taels was a lot, he felt that it was still worthwhile to exchange ten thousand taels of silver for Zu Dashou's surrender and the submission of the entire Ningjin defense line.
Zu Dashou curled his lips and said, "Are you kidding? You should think that I am short of this ten thousand taels of silver, which is one million taels."
hiss!
After Ning finished, I took a breath of air.
"You are just talking like a lion. It is impossible for the Great Khan to agree to give you one million taels of factors." Ning Wan and I refused without thinking.
One million taels of silver were exchanged for Zu Dashou's submission. If he really wanted to agree, he would have to be beheaded by Huang Taiji when he returned.
Zu Dashou said with a smile: "One million taels is not much. The imperial court sends several million taels of Liao salary to Liaodong every year. I have surrendered to Dajin, and this money is gone. I will You have to give an explanation to others."
"Master Zu is not sincere when he says this. Now that the Ming Dynasty's capital has fallen into the hands of tiger thieves, there will no longer be any salary in the future." Ning Wanwo said.
The rumors spread by Fan Wencheng in Shanhaiguan have now reached Ning Jin.
Even Shanhaiguan didn't know the truth of this matter, and it was even harder for Ning Jin to know, so Zu Dashou would see Ning Wanwo again.
Zu Dashou said: "I don't know whether the news of the capital's fall is true or not. Mr. Ning doesn't need to rush to a conclusion. I think the capital must be safe."
Ha ha!
After Ning finished, I burst out laughing.
Zu Dashou frowned and looked at Ning Wanme.
After the laughter stopped, Ning Wanwo said: "I said last time, if Mr. Zu really thought that nothing would happen to the capital, why didn't he send troops to the capital instead of staying here in Ningyuan City and not moving. In the final analysis, it was not I’m not optimistic that the capital can be defended.”
Zu Dashou was speechless.
He dislikes these big turbans the most. Not only is he full of bad ideas, but he can always guess what others are thinking.
"General Bing Ye should make some more practical demands." Ning Wanwo said, "General Master Zu has submitted to me, Dai Jin, and still enjoys a powerful position. This is something that only Dai Jin can give you, Mr. Zu."
Zu Dashou said: "In addition to you, Dai Jin, I can also choose to seek refuge with the Tiger-Character Banner. Since we are all Han Chinese, the Tiger-Character Banner definitely hopes that I and the soldiers from Liaodong will seek refuge there."
"So many days have passed since the last time we met. Can Mr. Zu see the people sent by the tiger thief?" Ning Wanwo looked at Zu Dashou in front of him.
The reason why he dared to ask this was because he had his own source of information and knew that Huzi Banner had never sent anyone to contact Zu Dashou.
