Chapter 658 You kill me for a million, and I kill you for a million! No more, no less! No debts!(1/2)
Chapter 658: You kill me one million, I kill you one million! No more or less! No more or less! No more or less!
Even in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court publicly stated that it was unwilling to negotiate with the Great Jin Dynasty. In fact, privately, the two countries never cut off secret communications. The envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether openly or secretly, were favored, and had never had any problems with security.
Only in the Huben Army, the envoys of the Great Jin Kingdom could not receive such preferential treatment at all. Even the other party did not regard Huang Taiji and the Great Jin Kingdom's face, and killed people if they said they were killed. This was the first time Yalai felt so frustrated. Damn, the person who lost the battle really had no human rights at all!
"I am indeed here to discuss things, but your attitude is very unfriendly. I want to make the strongest protest on behalf of the Great Jin Kingdom."
Yalai had no choice but to say stubbornly.
"It's not that we want to negotiate! It's you who took the initiative to ask for negotiation! If you didn't come here, I wouldn't bother paying attention to you! You have to know that my time is very precious. If you waste time here, I might as well go home to hug my wife and be intimate. Maybe I can have a few more children."
Zhang Zhun said lightly.
"you……"
Yalai's face turned red again as if it was a cooked crab.
Because he had not taken the Dongjia Fort and paid a heavy price, the Jin army hated Zhang Zhun even more. They all hated each other, and Yalai was no exception. After being so excited by Zhang Zhun, Yalai could not stand it. If he was a general, he would definitely jump up immediately and teach Zhang Zhun a lesson before the Hu Ben Army killed him. He had seen the arrogant, but never seen such an arrogant person!
If you are not as skilled as a human being, it is indeed the fate of being bullied. If anyone dared to speak to the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom with such an attitude, he would not need to speak Ya Lai. Just a hint, the other party would deal with him internally. There is only one Zhang Zhun in the world who has the courage to be arrogant in front of the Great Jin Kingdom!
"What are you going to talk about? After that!"
Zhang Zhun ignored Yalai's feelings at all and said slowly.
"I came this time, and was commissioned by the Great Jin Khan..."
Under the eaves, the man had to bow his head, so Yalai had to calm down and start talking about serious things.
In fact, Zhang Zhun was not wrong with what he said just now. The Hu Ben Army did not have the desire to negotiate with the Tartars. The two sides were just going to die on the battlefield. What was the negotiation done? After all the people were killed, the battle was won. What was the point of sharpening the mouth? Sharpening the mouth can win? However, since Huang Taiji's envoy came, Zhang Zhun received the other party "very generously".
The first request made by Yalai was to send people to take back the Tartars' bodies outside Dongjiabao City by the Great Jin Dynasty. The Tartars believed in immortality and according to the general concept, they had to go back to their hometown to be buried after death. Even if the body could not be returned, the ashes would have to go back. There were many Tartars who died in battle this time, and Huang Taiji felt deeply pressured, so he made such a request. Just when he learned that Zhang Zhun had not ordered the cutting of the Tartars' head, Huang Taiji hurriedly sent someone to negotiate.
For those who believe in the heaven of immortality, being cut off from their heads is actually very disrespectful, and they cannot fall into reincarnation after death. When the Ming army fought with the Tartars, they needed to count the Tartars' heads in each battle. Although this is the case, it is more reliable to count the military achievements and can effectively prevent false reports of their achievements. On the other hand, it is not given the chance to kill the Tartars' reincarnation.
It is said that if the Tartars are not reincarnated, the number of children born to the Tartars will be reduced a lot, which can effectively reduce the population of the Tartars. Every time the Tartars fight, they must recycle the corpses as much as possible, unless they do not have the ability or opportunity to recover. In short, this kind of thing is very mysterious. Most people would rather believe in what they have than what they don’t have.
This time, the Tartars lost a lot of people outside Dongjiabao. Even Huang Taiji had to start thinking about the issue of reincarnation. If all the Tartars who died in battle could not reincarnate, it would be very unfavorable for the population growth of the Great Jin Kingdom in the future. Calculate that in the past few months, the Great Jin Kingdom has lost a lot of warriors. If they cannot reincarnate, the future of the Great Jin Kingdom will be very dark!
However, it is absolutely impossible to take back these corpses and deal with them without the permission of the Hu Ben Army. Huang Taiji did not believe that Zhang Zhun would be so kind and righteous. As long as the Da Jin army approached Dongjiabao, the Hu Ben Army would not hesitate to counterattack. The number of people going up to the Da Jin army would be killed. There was no way, Huang Taiji had to send Ya Lai to come and run.
In fact, it was useless for Zhang Zhun to ask for the head of the Tartars. He didn't like things like Jingguan. At this point, the Hu Ben Army no longer needed to show off, just killing the Tartars in a solid manner. The Tartars came to take away the corpses themselves, which saved the Hu Ben Army a lot of trouble. Otherwise, just digging a hole to bury so many Tartars' corpses would have to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Of course, it is impossible for the Tartars to take back the head for free. The so-called "wind leaves traces and geese plucking their hair" is a fool. Since Huang Taiji has such a mind, Zhang Zhun cannot let him get what he wants. Zhang Zhun has to kick whatever he wants. Zhang Zhun has to kick him in with whatever he wants. So Zhang Zhun turned his eyes and began to prepare for extortion.
"You want to take the bodies of the warriors back?"
"No problem! Yes!"
Zhang Zhun replied with great affirmation.
"ah?"
Yalai didn't expect Zhang Zhun to be so happy, and was a little surprised.
Could it be that Zhang Zhun is actually not difficult to deal with? Could it be that he just hates traitors and has no prejudice against the Jin Dynasty? Perhaps, others have misread it, he is actually a good person.
"Take a war horse for exchange!"
"A corpse and a war horse!"
Zhang Zhun glanced at Yalai and continued.
“There are conditions…”
Yalai suddenly felt that Zhang Zhun's face was much more hated.
If you don’t have the conditions, you will give people full of hope and then step on it. Isn’t this intentional cheating? You know that Zhang Zhun is so greedy that he wants to die. Now he wants to sell people for money. Isn’t it shameless to be more generous? Don’t the people in the Celestial Kingdom like to be face and reputation very much? Why did he become so merciless and so realistic when he arrived at Zhang Zhun?
"One war horse? Too many."
Yalai almost subconsciously began to bargain.
"Not much, definitely not much!"
"Can you say that the body of your warriors is not as valuable as a war horse?"
Zhang Zhun said indifferently.
Yarey was speechless.
Of course he couldn't say that the body of the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom was really not worth the price of a war horse. If this sentence was spread, he would not have to be a human being in the Great Jin Kingdom. If no one smashed his tent with cow shit at night, he would be lucky. Maybe he would have a hidden arrow shot directly to take his life. However, the war horse that Zhang Zhun needed would definitely not be able to agree to him easily.
What Zhang Zhun's troops needed the most was war horses, which was known to all the senior officials of the Great Jin Dynasty. The senior officials of the Great Jin Dynasty also knew that Zhang Zhun spent a lot of effort on Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian, who used coercion and temptation, and all kinds of methods. Even so, the war horses of the Tiger Ben Army were seriously insufficient.
The lack of war horses greatly restricted the development of the Hu Ben Army. This is also the reason why the Great Jin Kingdom can bargain with Zhang Zhun and be on par with equality. If Zhang Zhun had a large number of cavalry, the Great Jin Kingdom would probably not even have such qualifications. If the Great Jin Kingdom gave Zhang Zhun a large number of war horses, the number of cavalry of the Tiger Army would definitely skyrocket overnight. This would be a very, very dangerous thing for the Great Jin Kingdom.
However, as Zhang Zhun said, isn't the remains of the Great Jin warrior worth a war horse? On the Tartars, the price of a war horse is seven or eight taels of silver. If it were on the Mongols, it would not even exceed five taels of silver. The conditions offered by Zhang Zhun cannot be said to be high, and all of them are just tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Yalai had a prerequisite, but it was not stated. What they wanted to recover was the corpses of the Tartars and Mongols. The corpses of the Han army flag and the Korean minions were ignored. The corpses of these two parts were about 15,000.
"We can give you five taels of silver for each body."
Yalai's brain reaction was not slow, so he immediately began to change his concepts.
As long as all the corpses can be recovered and a large sum of money is also possible, which Huang Taiji acquiesced. The key is that if he gives Qian Huben Army, the Huben Army will not be able to buy war horses. As long as the Huben Army cannot obtain a large number of war horses, the number of cavalry will not rise rapidly. This is definitely beneficial to the Great Jin Kingdom.
"I just want to fight horses."
"No other talk!"
Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.
What does he want money to do? It is serious to have a war horse!
If the war horse could be produced through his own efforts like a warship, he would not even want the Tartars war horses, and directly cut off Huang Taiji's contacts, and then accumulate hundreds of thousands of cavalry to crush him to death.
"We don't have so many war horses."
Ya Lai started cheating again.
"You don't have so many war horses? When you went south, the people who died outside all had two war horses. Now, they are all dead, where have their original war horses gone? You killed them and eaten them?"
Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and said to the point.
Zhang Zhun had already thought about the Tartars' war horses, so he naturally analyzed them early in the morning. The number of Tartars' war horses to the south was at least 150,000, and even 15,000 were evenly distributed to the Hu Ben Army, which was not a problem at all. Of course, considering the comparison of strength between the two sides, Huang Taiji would not agree easily.
"I can't make the decision on this, I need to ask Da Khan for instructions."
Seeing that Zhang Zhun was determined and had no chance of changing his words, Yalai had to vaguely refuse.
Of course, Zhang Zhun knew that Ya Lai could not make decisions, so he didn't force it. Ya Lai's arrival this time was a bit more tentative. In fact, it was an indirect dialogue between Huang Taiji and Zhang Zhun, and indirect investigation. In terms of diplomatic rhetoric, it was to increase understanding. In fact, the two sides had a big disagreement and fierce quarrel. However, Zhang Zhun was not worried. This matter was originally asking for a price everywhere and paying back the money. Anyway, the Hu Ben Army did not leave anything from beginning to end.
Mo Yu said coldly: "If you don't agree, we will let the bodies of your warriors be placed outside until summer. Then, we will invite a group of monks to save them all into the Avici Hell and will never be reborn."
The two of them spoke about the warriors and kept talking about the warriors, as if they were very respectful to the soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom, but they were actually secretly damaging Yalai. The more they spoke seriously and righteously, the more they could not refuse Yalai. Could it be that he dared to say that the soldiers of the Great Jin Army were all garbage and had nothing to do with the Warriors, and they were not worth anything at all?
Yalai kept rolling his eyes, but he didn't know how to speak. He could only curse himself in his heart, you Han people are so greedy. Especially Mo Yu's last threat is simply too fatal. He guessed that once the Hu Ben Army got angry, he would really do it. If this matter was in a turmoil, I was afraid that Changshengtian would be angry. If Changshengtian was angry, even Huang Taiji would not be able to bear it.
There was no choice but to end the topic and said that he would go back to report to Huang Taiji before he could make a decision. Then, he raised a new topic. Yalai's second requirement was to redeem the Tartars in Dengzhou City.
After realizing that the situation was not right, Huang Taiji ordered all the detailed works and desperately spying. Finally, he was sure that Dengzhou City had been captured by the Hu Ben Army, and the Tatars and Kong Youde rebels inside were all unsure of life and death. To be able to spy on the fall of Dengzhou City, the Tatars had already tried their best. As for the whereabouts of Dorgon, Duoduo, Kong Youde and others, they were not sure of them.
Zhang Zhun said lazily: "Dengzhou City? Are there Tartars in Dengzhou City? I don't know!"
What does it mean to talk lies with your eyes open? That’s it!
The winner should not be blamed. Now Zhang Zhun is full of crazy words.
Yalai couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that you were the first-rank governor of the Ming Dynasty, how could you speak like this? Where did the warriors of the Jin Kingdom in Dengzhou City go? You ate it! Yalai was really fed up with the Han people's intestines. He asked straightforwardly: "We want to know if Dorgon, Dodo, Kong Youde and others are still alive."
Mo Yu casually said: "There are all dead in Dengzhou City and nothing is left."
Of course Yalai didn't believe it. The more the Hu Ben Army denied it, the more they said they were dead, the greater the possibility of them being alive. He quickly said: "We are willing to exchange a war horse for another person. As long as they are still alive, we are willing to redeem them."
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said decisively: "A war horse? Too few. You can exchange it for living people!"
Yalai asked in confusion: "Living man?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said affirmatively: "Living person."
Yalai felt that his IQ was insulted and shouted angrily: "How can there be such a saying in the world?"
Zhang Zhun glanced at Yalai with a squinting eyes and said disdainfully: "Don't misunderstand! It's not for your Dajin people! It's for our Ming people! You give me the Dajin people, I don't want it! What am I going to do? I'm wasting food!"
Yalai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt extremely angry again. Zhang Zhun's last words were too harmful to the dignity of the Great Jin Kingdom! The warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom were all born warriors. In your eyes, they were even worse than waste? Well, it seems that they were indeed inferior to... Otherwise, how could they be defeated?
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "You hand over Fan Wencheng, Ruan Dacheng, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others, and I will give you living people."
Yalai's nerves suddenly tense up and said anxiously and angrily: "You!"
Of course, Yalai knew about Huang Taiji's importance to these people. It was impossible to ask Huang Taiji to hand them over. Because, in addition to the exchange of interests, this involves the issue of integrity and prestige of the Great Jin Kingdom. When Huang Taiji lured surrender, he said it well, with wealth and nothing short of anything. Now, he turned around and sold it to the Hu Ben Army as a gift, and was chopped off his head. What do you think others would think?
The development of the Great Jin Kingdom has always been inseparable from the support of many traitors. The information of the Battle of Sarhu was reported by traitors. The city gate of Chenyang was opened by traitors. The city gate of Liaoyang was also opened by traitors. The occupation of Ningyuan City was indispensable for the contribution of the Tartars. The defenders of dozens of castles around Ningyuan City were all surrendered to the Great Jin Kingdom. There were also Dongjiang Town and Dengzhou Prefecture, and there were too many traitors who became citizens of the Great Jin Kingdom.
All the detailed works installed in the Ming Dynasty by the Great Jin Kingdom were Han people. The materials secretly purchased from Shanxi and other places every year were from the hands of Han merchants. Almost all the land in the Great Jin Kingdom was farmed by Han people. All the craftsmen, doctors, and merchants in the Great Jin Kingdom were almost all Han people. Without the Han people, the Great Jin Kingdom would be finished.
What is the purpose of the Great Jin Dynasty's invasion so actively? It's not for population and materials? Every time the Great Jin army invaded, it would bring back a large number of Han people. These Han people were responsible for producing more than 99% of the Great Jin Dynasty's materials, in addition to war horses. Now, Zhang Zhun asked Huang Taiji to hand over these Han people, how could Huang Taiji agree?
Once Huang Taiji agreed, all the Han people would rebel. For a monarch who was untrustworthy, there would be a deep sense of crisis for anyone. Once Huang Taiji broke his trust, the credibility of the Great Jin Kingdom would be wiped out. In the future, no one would expect that any officials from the Ming Kingdom would surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom. Even those who had originally surrendered would find a way to escape.
Zhang Zhun said lazily: "What? Are these traitors more expensive than the lives of your Great Jin warriors? I didn't expect that you like traitors so much. Birds of birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. We didn't expect it."
Well, another Great Jin warrior!
To be continued...
