Come to Daming with military supplies

Sure enough, Li Yuanlong was stunned when he heard what Yang Chendong said, and then he said as if he had misheard: "Loyalty? A province of mercenaries instead of becoming a province of Ming?"

Indeed, it was this that surprised Li Yuanlong.If it was the former, although he would also be surprised, it would definitely not be as strong as it is now.

What does this brave man want to do?Could it be that he wants to betray Daming?

As soon as this idea appeared in my mind, it was immediately affirmed.Yes, this brave man must think so. He has proved his strength with facts. It seems that his father and king have underestimated this person.

Li Yuanlong's face was constantly changing, but Yang Chendong didn't say anything. What should be said, he had already said very clearly. Although he exposed his thoughts so early, especially in front of the enemy, it was somewhat It's out of date, but if you don't even have the courage, how can you talk about conquering the world?

As for whether Li Yuanlong would let Daming know about his thoughts after returning home if he refused to agree, he didn't care, the worst thing was that he didn't admit it, who could say anything without any evidence?

Not to mention, no matter it is Nanming or Beiming, they probably don't want to turn against themselves, otherwise, everyone must be very clear about what price each other will have to pay.

Li Yuanlong was really frightened.He thought that this Yang Chendong should be very strong, and because he is so young, he will inevitably be aggressive, and he might be more aggressive in doing things, but he never thought that his goal is so big that he wants to swallow the whole cochin all to himself. , isn't he afraid of indigestion?

There were too many doubts in his heart, but Li Yuanlong didn't say anything.Because it is impossible for him to agree to the request of the other party. He came here to negotiate, not to surrender on behalf of the entire Jiaozhi country.If Yang Chendong is willing to retreat, even if the request is too much, he will find a way to satisfy it, but it is like surrendering the whole country without a fight, he cannot make such a decision, and his identity does not allow him to do it such a decision.

After being silent for quite a while, the surprise in his heart was not so serious. When Li Yuanlong looked at Yang Chendong, he asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Loyalty? Is there no second way? As long as you You can retreat, no matter what kind of request you ask, we will do our best to meet it, you see"

"Either you surrender, you and your father can still live a good life, of course there is no power. Or if you choose another way, then my mercenaries will attack the city tomorrow morning, and all of you will die at that time There is no burial place." Yang Chendong stared into Li Yuanlong's eyes and said very seriously.At this moment, he would absolutely not give the other party any hope or expectation, which could not be changed since the first sentence he spoke.

Seeing Yang Chendong's seriousness, Li Yuanlong knew that there was no way out.It's just that he absolutely cannot agree to such a condition, and even at this moment he really wants to stand up and yell at Yang Chendong, which is simply impossible.

But such thoughts just faded away in my mind.He couldn't make fun of his own life, although he was really happy to yell like that, but once Yang Chendong was angered, his little life might stay here, which was not what he wanted to see at all.

"Okay, this matter is of great importance after all, I want to go back and discuss it with my father." Li Yuanlong said as he settled for the next best thing.He no longer expects to negotiate now, he just wants to go back to Xiyu City first.

"Yes." Yang Chendong nodded, and answered somewhat beyond Li Yuanlong's expectations. "I can even give you a whole morning. If you don't give my country an accurate answer by noon tomorrow, then I will attack the city. At that time, you will have no choice."

Chapter 527 Only One Battle

Originally thought that Yang Chendong would not let him go so easily, but he didn't expect that he allowed himself to go like this. Is this self-confidence?Or arrogant?

But no matter what, it's always good to be able to escape here first.Immediately Li Yuanlong stood up, then nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongdan, I know what to do."

Li Yuanlong finally left, and when he left, Yang Chendong never stood up from his chair, but called Humang who was outside the tent, and asked him to send the prince of Jiaozhi Kingdom away.If he didn't do this, Li Yuanlong might not even be able to return to the city safely.

Humang went and returned soon. "Master, I have already sent you away."

It is not the main thing to come back and return the order. The main thing is to ask how the talk is going and what the mercenary will do next.

Yang Chendong, who was very clear about Humang's thoughts, nodded his head lightly, and then ordered: "Notify all officers to attack the city at noon tomorrow."

Yang Chendong knew very well that Li Yuanlong and his father Li Li would never agree to his conditions.Surrendering the whole country without even trying, it is difficult for even a fool to make such a decision, let alone the Li family father and son who boast that they still have some abilities.

But he still let Li Yuanlong leave, and the reason for this may only be clear to him.

Yang Chendong did this intentionally, he just wanted to set an example for others, he can give anyone a chance, but there is only one chance, if you don't grasp it, the consequences will be unimaginable.In this way, when they use such means against other small countries in the future, they will seriously consider it.And as long as a small country surrenders without a fight, what happened tonight will not be in vain.

This is Yang Chendong's intention, what he cares about is the future and the future situation.But Li Yuanlong, who couldn't see this, came down to the city in panic, and then returned to the top of the tower in a hanging basket, and soon appeared in front of his father, King Li Li.

The crown prince came back. In the temporary palace, not only Li Li did not go to rest, but all civil servants and military generals did not go to rest. They were waiting for the crown prince to return, and wanted to see what kind of request the other party made and how they would respond. , and even what kind of concessions to make.

As soon as he entered the temporary hall, Li Yuanlong could feel hundreds of eyes looking at him.If it was before, he would still be secretly happy because of being stared at, but at this moment he is a little annoyed by being stared at like this.

"Long Er, what's the matter?" This time, before anyone else could ask, Li Li, the king, spoke first.Just from this point of view, it is known that he has lost his former composure at this time.

It's not Li Li's fault, and it has nothing to do with his age.It's all because just now, after Prince Li Yuanlong left the city, after discussing with the generals, he was surprised to find that when they faced the mercenaries, they had no choice but no hope of victory.

This is what surprised Li Li.Does it mean that there is no other way to go except negotiation and concession?

It was precisely because of this that he put all his hopes on his son, and only hoped that Li Yuanlong could bring him a good result.Although he knew that the mercenary at this moment would definitely open his mouth, he still hoped that the other party would be more polite. After all, aren't all Han people accustomed to learning Confucianism, speaking of moderation, and talking about the demeanor of a great country?As long as you express your conviction, you will usually get their understanding.Perhaps it is precisely this point that once the Han people are weak, so many people will stand up and bully them.

Repaying grievances with virtue is what the Han people are most willing to do, and often doing so can bring them an excellent reputation.But they never thought about how to repay virtue?

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched.He was talking about Li Yuanlong hearing that his father actually asked each other in person, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, standing there for a long time without making a voice that belonged to him.

Li Yuanlong's silence made old King Li Li anxious, "Long Er, what happened? Didn't you see Da Ming Zhongdan Gong?"

Shaking his head, Li Yuanlong said, "I see."

"See you? Then what did he say?" Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, but after watching for a long time, Li Yuanlong stopped talking again, and couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Did he put forward some harsh conditions? What is it?" What's the matter? You're talking."

Not only the king was anxious, but the other courtiers also looked anxious, waiting for Li Yuanlong's answer.

First, he took a deep breath, maybe he also knew that some things were unavoidable, instead of keeping them secret and making everyone suspect, he might as well say it openly.Perhaps before there is no retreat, everyone can still unleash their physical potential and defeat the mercenaries.

"The prince met him, and he only made one request." In the following time, Li Yuanlong described the process of meeting Yang Chendong in detail.His memory is still good, and he hardly missed anything, but that's why these words have a great impact on everyone.Perhaps no one would have imagined that the other party's appetite was so great.

At some point, King Li Li had already sat back on the big chair, with a terrible and ugly expression on his face.

The other courtiers are not much better. Except for some ministers with low official positions who are still talking in a low voice and expressing their opinions, some important ministers with city mansions and abilities are silent. Yan, just stood there with a sullen face.

For them, negotiation was originally the only hope.As long as the opponent can retreat, Jiaozhi will have a chance to start again.As for what to pay for this, there is no way. Who made their enemies mercenaries, who made them send troops to Nanming first, and made the assassin named Mo Tuo a Cochin?

Based on these, they should pay some price, or there is no other way.But now, Yang Chendong actually wants the whole Jiaozhi, which is not what he wants to see.Killing people is nothing more than a nod, not to mention, they are always being killed, okay?Now they don't even give themselves the slightest retreat, how could they accept such conditions when they were already aggrieved.

"No, we can't just admit defeat like this. Our strength is still more than ten times theirs, and we are still capable of fighting." Chen Heijin, the famous general in the Cochin Army, was the first to speak out.

"Yes, we can't admit defeat. Even if we die in battle, we can't be scared to death." Another famous cochin general, Fan Yuhai, who is said to have a very high IQ, also expressed his opinion, and he still had the same meaning as Chen Heijin.

With the leadership of these two people, basically the meaning of the army side is very clear, which also brought hope to King Li Li, "How much confidence do you have to defeat the mercenaries?"

Facing the king's question, the two famous generals first glanced at each other, then shook their heads in unison.After seeing the power of mercenary firearms today, how can they still have the confidence to defeat their opponents?

"Then? How much confidence do you have to keep the city intact?" Although Li Li felt a little disappointed, he knew that it was not the fault of the two generals, but that the mercenaries were too strong, completely beyond this era.It's like the Qing Dynasty when it was fighting against the Eight-Power Allied Forces. No matter how many soldiers you have, but when cold weapons face hot weapons, there is no chance of winning at all.

"I don't know, but I always have to keep a watchful eye. If it doesn't work, just fill it in. If the Emperor Nanming's order can arrive earlier, maybe things will turn around." Fan Yuhai shook his head first, but then Give everyone hope.That means they still have foreign aid.

It's ridiculous to say that this foreign aid turned out to be the Nanming regime that they had always regarded as an enemy and took advantage of.

This is also something that can’t be helped, if you don’t point to Nanming’s words, I’m afraid Cochin wouldn’t exist.You must know that this is different from surrendering to Daming in the past. At that time, they only surrendered superficially. At most, others sent a few officials to this town. They still have full autonomy.Even once the timing is right, it is very easy to rise up.But once surrendered to the mercenaries, the future is really unclear, and perhaps Jiaozhi will never be able to stand up again.

Fan Yuhai put his hope on Nan Ming, and King Li Li had some hope.But after much deliberation, it seems that this is the only way right now, so he could only say in a helpless tone: "Okay, if that's the case, then prepare for the battle. Get the trebuchets in the city ready, no matter whether they can hit them or not." , but at least it can serve as a deterrent. Also, when a war starts, we must establish a powerful supervisory team in the rear, and today’s scene of retreating after the defeated army must never happen again.”

Before the crown prince came back, when everyone talked about today's battle, there was some pity in it.In their view, if today's soldiers can continue to charge without fear of life and death, they may be able to walk to the side of those mercenaries. If that is the case, they may see the hope of victory.

The king made a decision, that is to fight.Then delay until the Emperor Nanming stops the mercenaries, and in order to achieve this goal, Li Li first took out his own 3-strong king's guard.Then the prince also took out the most elite [-] prince soldiers in his hands.

Then came Chen Heijin's [-] black soldiers and Fan Yuhai's [-] elephant soldiers.These add up to [-] elites, plus more than [-] other standing troops. If you insist on entrusting them, they should be able to resist for a while.

Chapter 528 My name is Skylark

The meeting lasted until very late, and then the courtiers left the temporary palace and headed towards the temporary mansion.What can be seen is that every courtier who walked out of the palace had a dignified look on his face, but at the same time, some people's eyes flickered, as if they were thinking about something, and one of them went home all the way He had a dark face all the time, until the door of the mansion was closed from the inside, he sat down on the wooden chair in the study with a relaxed plop, and then let out a long breath slowly.

He just sat on the chair with a disorganized body, and even the kerosene lamp in the study was lit. This was just one of his habits, and he liked to think about things in the dark.But this time, a voice appeared in his ears like a ghost: "Master Chen, are you very disturbed?"

"Who is it?" He stood up suddenly as if a spring had been installed under his buttocks. Mr. Chen pushed back in panic, and then cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.
