Chapter 385 Negotiations
Indeed, man is not a machine after all.
People will be afraid, despair, and will break down mentally in the face of unbearable stimulation.
Yang Xin could not defeat ten thousand people by himself, but he could use the sea of corpses and blood that were constantly piled up under his feet to destroy the will of these ten thousand people.
Is the chieftain soldiers very tenacious?
That's just a joke. Their loyalty to the chieftains is not that the recruiting soldiers on the nine sides are higher in the emperor. The chieftains regard them as their slaves and livestock, and they are killed and killed, and are grooms every night. They have to offer their women immediately when the chieftains like their women, and they have to hand over their property honestly.
Even the integrity of the court officials could not stand it.
Xu Xiake's description of them is not an isolated case. Even a governor of our Qing Dynasty described the miserable nature of these natives in the same text.
The people are slaves to the chieftains.
The chieftain adopted the feudal system, and the thirteen rivers, forty-eight eyes, one hundred and twenty descendants, and one thousand two hundred night places in the water. The last one was Huotou, the leader in the villages, the top-level emperor of the An family, and the thirteen clan families, as local rulers, ruled the remaining slave owners by taxation. Even at this time, slaves were often unable to bear the poison and assassinate slave owners, such as She Yin was later assassinated by his own slaves.
How loyal is such an army to the chieftains?
"Two-five percent dead."
Yang Xin returned to the city wall and said in his arms, Long Xiaozu.
"I killed only 250 local soldiers, and then their 10,000 people collapsed. I really don't understand why such an army forces you to not even dare to leave the city gate?"
He continued.
"The governor is invincible, so the natives are naturally scared."
Wang Sanshan said.
Of course, he couldn't say that even 2.5% of the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty could not bear the deaths of 2.5%.
Besides, you beat them to the despair.
Can those local soldiers not bear the death of 250 people?
I was obviously scared by your cruel killing, and I was completely scared.
If the mobs in this city went out, they would probably be scared to death when they saw the cavalry lined up opposite him.
By the way, these chieftains did regard the people as slaves, but should the officers of the Ming Dynasty treat military households as their own brothers? The treatment of the lower-level military households in the garrison is no different from that of the chieftains under the chieftains. Otherwise, there would not have been so many military households who would have fled, with the highest escape of more than 90%.
Anyway, it's the same in this era of bad luck.
"An Bangyan is out!"
He held up his telescope to change the subject.
Yang Xin's eyes immediately turned to a small hill outside the city.
This hill can overlook the city, and the rebels have always regarded it as the command center of the battlefield. At this moment, there were many people gathering at the top of the mountain looking here. With Yang Xin's eyesight, he suddenly saw An Bangyan.
"The distance is a bit far, it would be great if I could get closer!"
Yang Xin estimated the distance.
It would take at least one mile, and there was a military camp under the hill.
At this time, even if you go out at his speed, it will be difficult to kill An Bangyan before withdrawing. Once the latter is withdrawn, it will be difficult to find. Moreover, with An Bangyan's identity, you can retreat to the rear and there is no need to be on the front line. But if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to catch this guy again. Once he retreats back to the mountains and ridges of Shuixi, it will become like looking for a needle in a haystack. Governor Yang doesn't have much time to continue to waste like this with these guys.
A big business worth millions is still waiting for him!
"I heard that Governor Yang has a thousand-mile-eyed look and feel at the wind?"
Wang Sanshan put down his telescope and said with a smile.
"This is an exaggeration. It's true that you can see more sensitively and you can see farther and you can see a lot of eyes. You don't have a single mile, which means you're using a telescope."
Yang Xin said.
However, the folks do tell him the legend that it is magical.
There is even a legend that now the Jinyiwei arrests people. Many times, Governor Yang has long ears. He can hear any official secretly saying bad things at home, as if his ears are monitored networks, and his brain has filtering functions, which can filter the sounds of the entire capital at the same time. However, this does make many officials with poor minds worried every day, for fear that they will be heard by Governor Yang's Shunfeng ears.
"Where is that night eye?"
Wang Sanshan said.
"The eyesight is indeed slightly stronger at night than ordinary people."
Yang Xin said modestly.
This is indeed modest. In fact, when he is illuminated at night, it is basically like he encounters rainy days in the evening, but when the sky is clear at noon, it is a bit strong.
"Then the official has a plan."
Wang Sanshan said with satisfaction.
Half an hour later.
"negotiation?"
An Bangyan looked at the envoy sent in the city in shock.
"Duke An, the Yang thief has long been angry with heaven and people, and all the loyal and righteous people in the court have hated each other. Moreover, the prince has found out that the death of Song Wanhua was also done by Yang Xin. This traitor forced his opposition to She Chongming and wanted to use this to force you to rebel, so that he can take the opportunity to make a contribution and get rich.
He often does this kind of thing.
This treacherous minister is not only your enemy, but also the enemy of all the nobles in the court.
But he had Wei Zhongxian in the palace and Fang Congzhe in the court. These two men, one of the literati supervisors, and the chief minister supported him behind him. Even if the loyal ministers in the court wanted to get rid of him, they could do nothing and could only sit back and watch him continue to cause trouble in the world. Fortunately, Gong An and Gong She have raised their troops to clear the king. Gong Gong believes that we might as well unite. You will continue to surround Guiyang, but you can no longer attack other places. The Gong Gong will meet with Gong An in the place outside the city where you think it is appropriate to discuss a memorial to Your Majesty.
An Gong declares his injustice.
The prince attached Yang Xin's various evil deeds.
Of course, you can discuss what compensation Angong wants at that time.
For example, the Song family is gone now, and the future division of the land of Shuidong can be discussed. After all, Gong An was framed by Yang Xin. As long as Gong An is loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future, some compensation should be done."
The messenger said.
"You won't arrange for Yang Xin to take the opportunity to assassinate An, right?"
An Bangyan sneered.
This kind of thing is actually something these imperial officials often do.
"Mr. An is joking. Princess wished Yang Xin died. During the war today, did Princess send out one army and one soldier to rescue Yang Xin? Besides, the place of meeting will be decided by Princess An. As long as they are too far away from the city, after all, Princess can only meet with you secretly. It is best to be in the frontier military camp. When you make an appointment, then Princess will leave the city at night, and your people will wait outside to meet and meet. Even if Princess has this idea, he will not be able to notify Yang Xin again. You don't have to worry, right?"
The messenger said with a smile.
An Bangyan immediately confirmed Wang Sanshan's sincerity.
I understood this plan as soon as I heard it. It was definitely not for Yang Xin to assassinate him, but Wang Sanshan wanted to avoid Yang Xin's eyes and ears.
That's all.
He is also trembling now, not only him, but all the generals who participated in the besiege of Guiyang are trembling.
Many people even want to withdraw. After all, with Yang Xin here, Guiyang seems to be unable to defeat it, and the final result of this rebellion is difficult to predict.
If this opportunity can be really taken advantage of, it would be nice to end the war in a decent way.
The purpose of their rebellion was to jointly give the court a look, forcing the court to stop changing the land and return to the current situation, and at the same time they robbed them. They have done this countless times in the past few hundred years. If they are dissatisfied with the court, they will get up to besiege the guards and plunder them at the same time. When the court agrees to their conditions, or if they can't stand it, they will surrender again. Anyway, they are all in the mountains and ridges, and the court has no population on their territory, so it is not cost-effective to mobilize the army to clear them out.
These guys have numbers.
This time, it should be said that the purpose of giving the imperial court a color has been achieved.
After all, most of Guizhou and Southeast Sichuan were involved in war, forcing the court to mobilize the power of the four provinces, which can be said to show their abilities.
As for not conquering Guiyang, it is indeed a pity that it cannot rob a wave. But since it can no longer be defeated, it cannot hold on. It is not that they are afraid of the soldiers who are afraid of losses. Those local soldiers are not worth mentioning in their eyes, but Yang Xin always kills senior generals like this.
The civil servants were eager for Yang Xin to die, and they also knew very well.
Wang Sanshan should be true to be true. Besides, even if he was not sincere, An Bangyan knew very well that it was time to negotiate at this time. All he was afraid of was Yang Xin taking the opportunity to lock in his position and use the unstoppable raid to kill him with the previous unstoppable surprise attack.
This is what he is afraid of.
But this should be fine.
After all, Yang Xin didn't know his specific location, so it would be impossible for him to assassinate him. There were countless military camps of 100,000 troops here. If it weren't for knowing which military camp was in advance, how could Yang Xin find him out in this 100,000 army? After the negotiations with Wang Sanshan, he would go back to Shuixi and hand over the place to his subordinates. In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of inspiring his subordinates to complete today's siege plan, he would have run to the rear to hide, and not just him, but other Tumu Miao Zhong thought so now.
Even if they really hit them, they couldn't continue.
I guess Yang Xin killed a few more times like this, and the remaining Tumu Miao Zhong and others would have to scatter.
They do not care about rebellion, but that is because those who rebel died were all local soldiers. Their chiefs were at the level of the leader and ran home depending on the situation. The court had no time to entangle them in the mountains and rivers. Sooner or later, they would have to ask them to continue to be the leaders. Even if they were not allowed to be treated, they were their sons or wives. But Yang Xin's vicious tactics killed them. Those who were truly sure that they would die would not do it. Therefore, An Bangyan had no other choice. He either met Wang Sanshan and ended the siege decently, or he had to withdraw his troops in the end.
"Then let's go to the third update tonight. When the prince goes out of the north gate, there will naturally be someone waiting for him outside."
An Bangyan said.
The messenger immediately agreed and returned to Guiyang.
Chapter completed!
