Park Banshu felt bitter in his heart.
My king is capricious and reluctant to send the money and food requested by the Tiger Flag to Jeju Island. Now that the enemy is knocking on his door, it is impossible to use those things to make the enemy retreat.
In his view, such a hassle would be like losing both his wife and his troops to North Korea.
"General Zheng might as well come up with some conditions on how to withdraw the troops!" Park Pengshu wanted to know what kind of conditions the tiger-character flag would offer.
Zheng Chao looked at him and said: "My conditions are very simple, just three points. First, thirty thousand shi of fine grain. Second, one hundred thousand taels of silver. Third, we are allowed to garrison troops on Jianghua Island."
"This is impossible, we will never agree." Park Judge's face changed after hearing the three conditions proposed by Zheng Chao.
He thought that one side of the tiger-shaped flag would have a lion's mouth, but he didn't expect that the conditions would be so extreme.
Zheng Chao snorted softly and said: "I only have these three conditions. If you don't care, I want to capture your Wang Jing. I don't think what will happen to your King of Korea without Wang Jing!"
"The first two conditions are negotiable, but we will never agree to the third condition." Park Manshu stared into Zheng Chao's eyes and said.
Zheng Chao smiled and said, "Do you think you can stop me if I really want to station troops on Jianghua Island?"
Park Senshu's tone choked.
"If you can't be the master, go to your Korean king and ask him if he agrees. It doesn't matter if he disagrees. I will fight city by city. What the Liaodong slaves and thieves can do, do you think I have the tiger-character flag?" Can't you do it?" Zheng Chao sneered.
When Park Fanshu heard this, his heart sank.
The territory of North Korea borders Liaodong. There are some things that even the Ming Dynasty does not know, but North Korea can know them. Therefore, North Korea knows very well that the Jin Dynasty suffered losses at the hands of the Tiger Flag in several wars.
"Go back and discuss with your King of Korea! But you have to hurry up, I will attack your Wang Jing next. Maybe I can spend the night in your palace tonight." Zheng Chao sneered.
Pu Yanshu said hurriedly: "I will inform the king of the conditions you offer, but the king is not in Wangjing. I need time to see the king."
"That's your problem. It's impossible for my army to wait for you here. I will continue to attack your Wang Jing unless you take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender." Zheng Chao said, "You'd better hurry up and capture Wang Jing." Later, I may lead troops to attack Pyongyang."
After hearing this, Park Sanshu's expression changed.
He said: "I will ask the defenders in the city to open the city gate and surrender. You cannot harm the people in the city, let alone destroy the palace. As long as you agree, I will immediately have the city gate opened."
"I'm not negotiating with you." Zheng Chao said sarcastically, "Do you really think you can defend Wang Jing? Even if you don't surrender, my tiger-character banner army can attack the city today."
Park Judge opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh.
If he could really hold on, he would not go out of the city to negotiate terms with the people of the Tiger Flag.
"I would like to advise you to hurry up and go back to prepare. After half a stick of incense, don't open the city gate and surrender. I will continue to attack until the city is broken." Zheng Chao looked at Pu Yanshu in front of him and said.
Once again, he gave the other party half an extra time to burn the incense.
Pu Yanshu understood in his heart that he was not qualified to bargain, and such a big matter required the king's consent, so he left with his subordinates from the Tiger Flag Army and returned to Wangjing.
The defenders in Wangjing City did not prevent Park Sanshu and others from entering the city, and instead opened the city gate and took them in.
After entering the city, several North Korean officials in the city hurriedly surrounded him.
One of them asked: "How's it going? What did the tiger thief say? What are the conditions for retreating?"
Pu Yanshu glanced at him and said: "I need to go to Pyongyang immediately to see the king. I will leave this place to you. Get the carriage ready as soon as possible, and arrange a team of soldiers and horses to escort me."
He did not mention the surrender of Kaicheng.
Even if he surrendered, he didn't want to say it himself. After all, if the Tiger Banner army entered Wangjing, those who surrendered in Kaicheng would definitely be liquidated in the future.
What he wants to do now is to leave Wang Jing in advance before the Tiger Character Banner attacks the city.
"What conditions did the tiger thief offer?" the leading North Korean official couldn't help but ask again.
Pu Yanshu sighed and said: "The other party's request is too much. Neither you nor I can make the decision. The king needs to make the decision himself. After I leave, Wang Jing will be left to you."
As he spoke, he patted the other person's upper arm.
His carriage has always been in the city, and there is no need to prepare it again. There are even accompanying guards. He only needs to bring some dry food needed on the road.
Park Sanshu left Wang Jing in a carriage with his escort.
The North Korean officials in Wangjing City still don’t know what conditions the Tiger-Character Banner has put forward, but one thing they know is that since the conditions have been put forward, they will definitely not attack Wangjing. They just need to wait for North Korea and Tiger-Character Banner. the outcome of flag negotiations.
Time passes little by little.
As half the time for burning incense passed, the shelling outside the city began again.
boom! boom! boom!
The loud bangs of cannon fire resounded throughout Wang Jingcheng again.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you won't attack the city?" The North Korean official in charge of the escort was confused at this moment.
Although they have already negotiated, I don't understand why Tiger Flag can still attack the city.
"Park Banshu must have deceived us. He escaped on his own, leaving Wang Jing in this mess to us." Another North Korean official on the side put all the blame on Park Banshu.
After the other party heard this, he said with an ugly face: "When I see the king, I must impeach him."
No matter how they cursed Park Sanshu who had left, they could not stop the Tiger Flag's attack on Wang Jing.
"What should we do? No one in the escort is willing to go to the city wall. Once the tiger bandits' soldiers and horses attack the city wall, we can't stop them at all."
"Or surrender!"
"It's easy to surrender. What will the king say?"
"How to explain to the king is a matter for later, but if we don't surrender, once the tiger bandits' troops enter the city, all of us will be liquidated."
"surrender?"
No one answered.
Everyone looked at the North Korean official who currently had the highest official position in Wangjing City.
"Open the city gate!" The other party let out a long sigh.
Everyone around him had the idea of opening the city gate and surrendering. He could not stop it by himself, so he had to agree to open the city gate and surrender.
The city gate was quickly opened, and a flag hanging with a white cloth poked out from the city gate, swaying back and forth.
The Tiger Flag quickly noticed the white flag in the city, and someone immediately reported it to Zheng Chao.
The gunfire stopped again.
After a while, a North Korean official came out of the city, followed by a large number of Wang Jing's escorts.
