At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 121 Even if you are a tool man, you still have to be capable!
"Eternal infamy! Eternal infamy!" Li Zhu felt sad and heartbroken.

On the one hand, it is the eternal infamy, on the other hand, it is the whole family.

How does this make him choose?

Unlike Annan, Wang Shangli and others were overjoyed.

The overall situation in Annan has been decided, and Lord Zheng has no other choice. In any case, it is a foregone conclusion that a large amount of food and salary will be sent from Annan to Guangxi.

"General, is 2000 million in food and salary too heavy? Zheng may not be able to afford it."

"And if there is too much land to be ceded, the Zheng family may not agree to it?" Wang Ziqi said.

"It doesn't matter. If you ask for a high price and pay back the money, at least the tens of millions of food and salary requested by the king now seems to be no problem at all." Wang Shangli said leisurely.

"That's true. Neither the Zheng family, nor the Mo family, nor the Li family can be my opponent in the front army. Now Annan, we have the final say!" Wang Ziqi also smiled.

The current situation is very good, Annan has the general trend in hand, and Zheng has become a fish on the sticky board.

That night, the Annan delegation returned to Lord Zheng's residence.

Word of Wang Shangli's conditions spread in Shenglong City, and the whole court was in an uproar, and everyone was alarmed.

However, amidst the sorrow and anger, there are many rebels.

Lord Mo Mo Jingwan brought dozens of officials from the Mo family to Wang Shangli.

"The commander-in-chief of Annan meets the general!" Lord Mo knelt down and bowed to the ground.

"Master Mo, what do you mean by this? Please get up quickly." Wang Shangli was shocked. He didn't expect Master Mo to make such a move.

"The general is honored as a duke. After attacking Zheng Ni and wiping out all the unworthy ministers, he will be granted the title of king."

"And I am only a second-rank official of the imperial court. I should pay homage to the general in accordance with imperial etiquette."

Lord Mo was very respectful and wanted to pay homage to the king again.

Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi were stunned. Mo's set of ancestral craftsmanship caught them off guard.

"Master Mo, there is no need to be like this. You are the vanguard of the king's army. You have swept away the unruly ministers, and you have accomplished astonishing feats. I, Wang Shangli, cannot bear your great gift."

Wang Shangli helped Master Mo again.

Faced with this set of ancestral craftsmanship, Wang Shangli was a little overwhelmed.

"General, I heard that the heavenly soldiers need 2000 million for food and salary?" Lord Mo asked.

"Exactly, does Lord Mo think it's too much?"

"No, no, no!" Lord Mo hurriedly patted his chest and said, "The power of the heavenly weapons is astonishing to the world, so it is reasonable to require a little more money and food!"

"The King of Qin was righteous and wanted to let the Zheng family live, but these rebellious ministers didn't know what to do and actually resisted Heaven's grace!"

Mo Jingwan said angrily: "I, Mo Jingwan, are willing to guard one side for the heavenly soldiers. I will donate tens of millions of silver and grain and grass to reward the heavenly soldiers! I, Annan, will not disobey whatever the heavenly court wants! I, Mo Jingwan, am willing to fulfill my duty as a minister and poor Annan." The material resources and resources will bring joy to the heaven!"

Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi's eyes widened when they heard this. They had long known about Mo's glorious deeds in accepting soil.

I had thought that Mo Jingwan was so courageous that he wanted to follow the stories of his ancestors in order to restore the country!

"I already know about Lord Mo's intention, but this matter still needs to be reported to the Lord." Wang Shangli replied.

"Then please, General, express to the King of Qin my sincerity, the Mo Family, in guarding the land on behalf of the heaven."

Lord Mo hurriedly said: "If 2000 million yuan of food and grain is not enough, I am willing to donate another 500 million yuan of food and salary to provide heavenly troops to expel the Tartars and regain the Central Plains as soon as possible."

"Okay! With Lord Mo's heart, the Lord will definitely be delighted!" Wang Shangli laughed loudly and patted Lord Mo on the shoulder.

"In that case, thank you so much, General."

"I, Mrs. Mo, will first offer 50 yuan of tattooed silver and a hundred beauties to alleviate the distress of the King of Qin, the general, and the navy commander." Lord Mo said with cupped hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, boxes and boxes of beauties were delivered one after another. The generals in front of them were dumbfounded.

"Master Mo is interested." Wang Shangli opened his mouth wide and said slowly.

"Then please, General, please speak kindly to your subordinates in front of the King of Qin. If I can defend the land on behalf of Heaven, I, the Mo clan, will swear to be loyal to the King of Qin to the death!"

Led by Mo Jingwan, dozens of officials from the Mo family in Gaoping, big and small, bowed down and bowed down with all their courtesy. It was an eye-opener for all the generals in the front army.

"It would be a good idea to make the Mo clan the lord of Annan!" Commander-in-Chief Chen Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Since entering Annan, their troops have been taken care of by Mo family comfortably.

When attacking the city, Mo's soldiers and horses only followed the lead of the army in front.

Mo's is the vanguard, driving in front is the rear team, which is a standard combat mode.

Before driving, the elites had a taste of how the Eight Banners soldiers were treated.

Now Mr. Mo is even donating money and giving away his daughter, which makes the public have a good impression of them.

"It is indeed good to let the Mo family guard Annan, but the Prime Minister will definitely not agree." Wang Shangli pondered.

Mo's word of obedience is obedience, but mere obedience is of no use.

The Gaoping Mo family was disliked by the Annan people, and it had been confined to the mountainous areas of Gaoping and Taiyuan for a long time, so its influence was limited.

If they are appointed as the lords of Annan, I am afraid that the local area will not obey and chaos will occur.

If this were the case, not only would they not be able to earn any money or food, they might even have to send troops to protect the Mo family.

This is very detrimental to Sun Kewang's strategic plan.

In the final analysis, if you are a puppet or a tool, you must also have the ability to be a puppet or a tool.

The reason why our Qing Dynasty can be used as a tool for foreign powers to rule China.

It's not like we can carve out territory externally and win the favor of friends.

Can we suppress the people internally and squander China's material resources?
Mo obviously lacks the strength to be a tool, so it would be okay to let him guard one side and suppress the situation in Annan.

But for him to be the lord of Annan, it would take some time.

As for Lord Li...

It’s better than Lord Mo!

Although Lord Li is the nominal lord of Annan and holds great righteousness, it is useless to have great righteousness alone.

If righteousness were omnipotent, would our Ming Dynasty still be like this?

To make iron, you need to be strong yourself.

Scraping the ground also requires skill.

If Chongzhen could be as good as Cixi, our Ming Dynasty could be as powerful as our Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention [-] million or [-] million.

Like his brother, if you scrape a thousand dollars to eight million, our Ming Dynasty will not perish so quickly.

Although our Qing Dynasty was in a terrible state, at least the financial aspects were still on the table.

Whether it's scraping the land or suppressing the people, he is a good hand.

And it is really hard to describe how our Ming Dynasty can starve the army like that.

As for the Li Lord of Annan, and the demons and monsters under him.

Giving gifts to the king feels like being in the Yongli court.

In Yunnan, Wang Shangli had seen with his own eyes the level of the Yongli court.

If only Li Zhu and the others could be helped to the top.

Not to mention giving up the land to Lord Sun, Wang Shangli felt that it was a blessing if they could protect themselves.

This is why Wang Shangli abandoned them immediately after the group led the way and opened the door.

Such a group of precious people really has no united front value.

Although Chongzhen was not good at it, he at least achieved something.

As for Yongli... a healthy Yunnan can cause them to become a mess.

If our Ming Dynasty were like Yunnan in the past, with soldiers and horses capable of fighting, and money and food available, Chongzhen would not have hanged himself.

This person is better than others, it's maddening.

Compared with Chongzhen, Cixi became more talented and wise.

Compared with Yongli, Chongzhen is a wise king.

Although Wang Shangli was not as knowledgeable as Lord Sun, he still felt that if he wanted to carve out territory from Annan, it would be impossible to rely on Lord Li and his gang.Master Li was not good enough, and Master Mo's influence was limited, so the remaining Master Zheng naturally became more pleasing to the eye.

After comparing, Lord Zheng’s united front has the highest value and cannot be destroyed!

If such a good tool man and agent were to die, where would we find him?

Isn’t our Qing Dynasty also the darling of the great powers?

……

Half a month later, Sun Kewang's reply was sent to Wang Shangli. At the same time, Lord Zheng's information in Anlong City was also leaked to Wang Shangli.

"Master Zheng actually agreed!" Wang Ziqi and others took a deep breath.

"In order to survive, he has no choice but to go! I didn't expect that 2000 million in food and salary would be lost!"

Wang Shangli couldn't help but tremble when he saw the news from the bribed spy.

He originally only expected to quickly get tens of millions of food and salary to send to Guangxi to provide enough food and salary for Sun Guozhu's ambitious military training plan.

Na Zeng thought that under the huge pressure, Lord Zheng did not resist and agreed to the terrifying figure of 2000 million.

In addition, except for Sanjiang Mansion, which is located in the upper reaches of Thang Long, Zheng Zhu refused to cede it.

All the remaining conditions were agreed to, and Li Chu was ordered to quickly sign a treaty and allow the Ming people to withdraw their troops.

"God bless me... Daxi!" Wang Shangli trembled all over, his eyes bursting with frightening light.

……

"Is it OK if the compensation is less than 500 million taels?" Li Zhu said with a white cloth wrapped around his head.

His face was ashen after being attacked by patriots.

"No." Wang Shangli said with a straight face.

"Can I save one house?" Li Zhu begged.

"No." Wang Shangli was indifferent.

"Can the required number of strong men be reduced by 10?"

"No."

"No matter what, any small amount of compensation will be treated as my medical expenses!"

Li Zhu was heartbroken and burst into tears.

Wang Shangli and others couldn't help but feel sore in their noses.

But when I think of the [-] new troops in Guangxi who are waiting for food, countless Xiying brothers died in death in order to expel the Tartars.

The current situation is not optimistic. If you get more money for food in Annan, you will have more hope in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the future, you will have more soldiers and horses, and fewer brothers will die.

Wang Shangli hardened his heart.

"Can't!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhu's face turned ashen.

"Li Zhongtang, please sign. If you don't sign, our army will not withdraw for a day."

Wang Ziqi sighed.

Li Zhu stretched out her right hand and held the brush tremblingly.

Lord Zheng has given a death order and he must sign this treaty today.

It has been half a month since the negotiations started.

In the past half month, the Ming army took control of the Shenglong City Gate. Although they did not massacre the city, Lord Zheng lived in fear every day.

The big families in the city were even more brutally attacked, and the Ming army ransacked their homes to seize food at every turn.

At the local level, countless gentry were even more miserable and anxious all day long.

If I don't sign for one day, then the 'common people' will suffer more.

Your wife, children, and children will also be in additional danger.

In this case, what can be done?

Li Zhu slowly started writing and wrote his name, and then his followers stamped it with Zhu Li's seal.

"Eternal infamy! Eternal infamy!"

Looking at the treaty in front of him, Li Zhu felt sad, his face turned red, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Zhongtang!" The confidants were wailing and crying.

On May 1658, 21, the Treaty of Minh Thang Long was signed.

Except for Sanjiang Mansion, Annan paid 300 million to redeem the river.

Later Li Dynasty agreed to all the remaining treaties.

"I, Annan, have some money, some food and grass, and some people!"

Master Zheng said ferociously: "Sun Kewang only wants money and food, but the Mo family, the Li family, and the Ruan family, these people want my life!"

"The money and food are gone, we can levy them again. As long as Annan still belongs to my Zheng family, everything will come back!"

After the treaty was signed, Lord Zheng quickly asked trusted officials from various places to dig deep into the ground to search for money and food.

Countless resources continuously gathered in Sheng Long and were delivered to Wang Shangli.

The money and food were transported to Lianzhou one by one by ship to supply Sun Kewang's new soldiers.

Because the first batch of 500 million grain silver and 500 million grain that need to be paid is too huge.

There is another 300 million yuan to redeem the river, so Annan's financial pressure has reached the point of madness.

Wang Shangli also conveyed the wishes of Lord Sun.

War elephants, muskets, bows and arrows, armor and other supplies can be converted into compensation.

Lord Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He immediately presented the war elephant and elephant hand that Sun Kewang valued most.

At the same time, tens of thousands of powerful Jiaozhi guns were also transported to Lianzhou by sea.

In addition, a large number of bows, arrows, armor and other weapons and equipment were quickly imported into Guangxi and other places.

With the full efforts of the Zheng Group, the compensation was quickly settled through various means.

Wang Shangli also conveyed Sun Kewang's imperial edict.

Announce to the whole Annan that Lord Zheng has changed his mind.

From then on, the various places in Annan must observe their ministerial ties and are not allowed to attack each other.

If anyone dares to violate heaven's order, the power of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers will arrive in an instant!
Zheng, who was weak due to the rapid compensation, was overjoyed.

Under the guarantee of the Heavenly Soldiers before driving, they worked harder to conquer Annan's territory.

And Mrs. Mo was very envious when she saw Zheng's behavior of depleting Annan's material resources.

He kept praying to Wang Shangli, hoping that he could be like Zheng and respect Lord Sun.

Wang Shangli naturally comforted him with kind words, soothing Lord Mo's injured heart.

At the end of May, Sun Kewang was overjoyed to learn that the Annan affair had been successfully completed, and repeatedly praised Wang Shangli, the former imperial commander of the Western Camp.

He wrote an imperial edict, and the King of Jin Shangli was granted the title of Prince Anding, and when he was in Guiyang, he had been granted the title of Prince Feng Shuangli of Xing'an, and became the two major princes of the country.

Annan's matter has been decided, and now Lord Zheng has been treated obediently.

The Qing Dynasty could not be cured, nor could Li Dingguo's Sun Kewang be cured. It is gratifying that he is ready to put him to death completely.

"Zhang Hu, Nian Ce, Zhao Xi, and Lord Zheng have surrendered. As for the affairs in the southwest, Gu's [-] new soldiers are still in training, so it is not appropriate to interfere, lest they get burned."

Sun Kewang smiled and said: "In that case, let's give Shang Kexi the final blow in Guangdong!"

"The emperor wants to attack Guangzhou?" Wan Niance and others asked quickly.

"No!" Sun Kewang said resolutely: "Guangzhou is a strong city. Du Yonghe could hold it for eight months in the past. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's [-] elite soldiers are of little help to the entire Guangdong, but for the city of Guangzhou, it is a drop in the bucket. There are enough troops."

"The elite troops in front of me are not wasted for attacking the city."
