Nanming Engineer

Chapter 217 I want to take refuge, conditional
When Zhang Guangcai heard this, his face became embarrassed, he forced a forced smile, pretended to be calm and said dryly: "After thinking about it, I am willing to return to Daming anyway. In fact, General Jiang didn't know that Zhang was originally from Daming." Shanxi's general army is as fierce as a general under the command of the Tiger Army. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, due to the defeat of the army, the thieves were dropped in desperation. Army, but in the camp of thieves, I can't get what I want, now thanks to General Jiang's guidance, if the clouds see the sun, when the sun finally shines, of course I am willing to cooperate with Wang Zongbing and General Jiang."

These words were very impassioned, but when they came out of Zhang Guangcai's mouth, they changed their taste. It sounded as if they were chewing wax, and they were insincere. The unscrupulous villain didn't expose it immediately, but said happily in a very polite way: "Okay! Zongbing Wang got the help of General Zhang, and he added another strong general! Although Chengdu is a strong city, it can be destroyed overnight, and there is nothing to worry about. General Zhang will be able to make a great contribution, and he will make a great success in the future, just around the corner!"

Hearing these false compliments that were actually ironic, Zhang Guangcai's hairs stood on end. He felt like sitting on pins and needles, laughed a few times, and quickly changed the topic and asked: "But General Jiang, I don't know about those letters..."

Jiang Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "Those letters were all found by Wang Junmen from Liu Jinzhong's barracks. The letter said that General Zhang was in touch with the Tartars and conspired with Liu Jinzhong to surrender. Not sure, it must be Liu Jinzhong's plan to frame General Zhang. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance. Don't worry, Mr. Wang will definitely not hand it over to the court. Besides, even if it is true, General Zhang is just a traitor What does the army have to do with the imperial court? It doesn't get in the way."

Changing the subject, Jiang Li said in a dark tone, "However, if these letters fall into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, General Zhang is still in the ranks of bandits, and he is trapped in a tight siege. One can imagine what will happen. General Zhang must make up his mind and follow Wang Junmen iron-heartedly anyway, otherwise, this letter may appear on Zhang Xianzhong's desk at any time."

It turned out that when Wang Huan broke through Liu Jinzhong's camp and searched for all kinds of materials and weapons left by the Daxi Army, he found a large iron box with a copper lock hanging high in the Chinese army's tent. When he opened it, he found that it was full of Liu Jinzhong's secrets. Among the letters, there was a secret letter between He Luohui and the Qing court. In the letter, Liu Jinzhong and Zhang Guangcai's clear intention to surrender to the Qing court was written in black and white. At that time, Wang Huan felt that this was to tie Zhang Guangcai to him Bian is an excellent prop as a chess piece. With these letters, Zhang Guangcai is not afraid that he will not vote for the Ming army.

At this time, Zhang Guangcai had already withdrawn to Chengdu because of Liu Jinzhong's defeat. Zhang Xianzhong was angry with him for not fighting, so he did not take him northward, and left him in Chengdu to defend the city.

Jiang Li took the transcripts of these letters and sneaked into the city of Chengdu. Using some tricks, he saw Zhang Guangcai and showed him the copies. For many years, he knew very well that if these letters fell into the hands of Zhang Motou, who is famous for killing people, he would die without a whole body, and he would definitely be cut alive and skinned.

Therefore, when Jiang Li put forward the conditions straight to the point, if he wanted to save his life, he had to act obediently as an internal response. Being able to get a half-official position, or even returning to the original position in the Ming army or a few points higher, is much better than being a governor of a rogue regime.

Enwei wanted to join hands, Jiang Li also said that if he did not agree, these letters would be placed on Zhang Xianzhong's imperial table the next morning, and Zhang Guang only had three days to think about what to do.

Today is the third day, and sure enough, this guy came here in a hurry.

As expected, Zhang Guangcai confessed his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty cheekily and hypocritically, and told how he had to surrender to the devil Zhang. Now he deeply regrets and desperately hopes to return to the embrace of the emperor. As soon as the words came out, Zhang Guangcai immediately replied decisively with beads of sweat on his forehead: "General Jiang, don't worry, Zhang Guangcai has nothing else, and he still has credit. This life will be handed over to Wang Junmen and General Jiang. What should I do in the future? How to do it depends on General Jiang's orders."

Only then did Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction, and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea. Zhang Guangcai was very sensible this time. As soon as Jiang Li raised his hand, he graciously got up and grabbed the teapot first, poured a glass of water respectfully, and handed it to Jiang Li .

Jiang Li took a sip from the porcelain cup reservedly, and said with a smile: "Don't mention credit or anything, you and I both know that things are worthless, Dudu Zhang understands people, let's talk about something practical, Duduru really wants to take refuge Wang Junmen, that’s all it needs to be.”

He turned his head and put his mouth close to Zhang Guangcai, Zhang Guangcai also quickly passed his ear over, Jiang Li lowered his voice, and said something softly in his ear, then Shi Shiran turned sideways, lowered his head and held a teacup and blew on the surface of the water tea, squinting at Zhang Guangcai.

Zhang Guangcai kept his head listening, his face was pale, Kong Wu's powerful body was trembling slightly, the fear in his eyes couldn't be concealed, but there was a hint of greed in the fear.

"What? The governor is scared?" Jiang Li said lightly.

Zhang Guangcai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered with some embarrassment: "Well, it's not difficult to open the city gate. To do this, I'm afraid I don't have enough troops. In the palace..."

"Captain, you dare to open the gates of the city if you seek wealth and wealth, are you still afraid of those few shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Jiang Li interrupted him, and said sharply: "As long as this is done, Wang Junmen said, you can let me go." Wouldn't it be nice to go to Jiangnan to choose a place with a treasure of geomantic omen, to be a rich man, to marry a few wives and concubines, and to live a peaceful life without having to go to battle?"

"And, as long as you get it done." Jiang Lidun added after a pause: "I can let you pick some first. As long as it's not too much, Wang Junmen will pretend not to know."

"Really?" Zhang Guangcai raised his head suddenly, and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief: "Is Wang Zongbing really so generous?"

Jiang Li said disdainfully: "Of course, you don't know, Wang Junmen can accommodate you, Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan, do you know? The idiot who fought against Wang Junmen, the army didn't kill them after the defeat, Eat and drink well, such a benevolent person, what are you worried about?"

Zhang Guangcai's face was uncertain, his eyes were erratic, and his small eyes blinked and blinked repeatedly. He was obviously weighing the pros and cons. After thinking for a long time, the strong man slapped the table, stood up impressively, and gritted his teeth: "Okay! Since Zongbing Wang said something first , I dare not do it again, it will appear that Zhang is cowardly, I will do this, and I will ask General Jiang to tell the army that Zhang is not greedy. of."

Jiang Lixin grinned, poured another cup of tea, handed it to Zhang Guangcai, touched the teacup in his hand to Zhang Guangcai's, and said: "It's so good, great things can be expected, come, you and I will be rich and honored in the future, and replace it with tea." Let’s have a drink together!”

Zhang Guangcai took the porcelain cup and drank it up with his head up. Because he was drinking water, his eyes didn't see it. Jiang Li's eyes, which were covered by the cup on the opposite side, were full of banter and disdain, and even hidden deep in his eyes. The cruelty and venomousness are clearly evident with the moment of clinking cups and drinking tea.
