Chapter 385: Shang Kexi's Messenger Asks for the Moon

The second day after the Ming army captured Ganzhou, a team of envoys came from Guangdong.

There were hundreds of people in the team, escorting boxes of gold and silver from the south, and from a distance, they looked vast.

This was naturally sent by Shang Kexi.

Although Shang Kexi had led his troops to retreat to Guangzhou Prefecture, he did not forget that his son was still in the hands of the Ming army.

He thought about it but still couldn't let it go, for fear that his baby son would be wronged.

Then he gritted his teeth and took out 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver to send it to Jiangxi.

Originally, this team was going to Nanchang, but as soon as they arrived at Ganjiang, they heard that the army had already captured Ganjiang. Moreover, the emperor of the Ming court is now in Ganjiang City.

In this way, they would not have to go to Nanchang and just ask for a visit to Yongli in Ganjiang.

Zhu Youlang was already preparing to set off for Nanjing, but when he heard that the envoy sent by Shang Kexi arrived, he reluctantly agreed to receive him.

How to deal with Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao is a dynamic strategy that will adjust at any time as the situation changes.

As for the moment, Zhu Youlang certainly does not want to tear his face directly, so that the Ming army will be under the influence of both sides.

Especially Shang Kexi, his son is in Zhu Youlang's hands. If Zhu Youlang doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?

Of course, Shang Kexi wanted to save her son's life. As long as Zhu Youlang's conditions were met, Zhu Youlang would order people to make delicious food and drink to arrange for Shang Zhixin to raise this guy in a white and fat person.

However, this condition must be determined by Zhu Youlang, and Shang Kexi has no bargaining power.

Since there was no palace in Ganjiang Prefecture, Zhu Youlang decided to meet with the envoy representative sent by Shang Kexi in the government office.

After a careful inspection, Shang Kexi's confidant Shang Yongzhong entered the government office tremblingly and was taken to the second hall where Zhu Youlang was.

Although Shang Yongzhong was mentally prepared, he still felt very nervous when he really stepped into the government office surrounded by Ming soldiers.

These armored soldiers have swords in their hands. If he says a wrong sentence, he might be chopped into meat paste.

Shang Yongzhong kept reminding himself to be low-key and low-key.

Lower your posture so that at least your life will not be in trouble.

But after Shang Yongzhong arrived at the second hall, he immediately pushed Jinshan and fell to the ground and shouted long live.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

He didn't even see Zhu Youlang's face clearly, and tried his best to leave a good impression on the Emperor Ming.

After all, his life is now in Zhu Youlang's hands. As long as Zhu Youlang hooks his fingers, he can make his head fall to the ground.

Zhu Youlang was in a good mood and said softly: "Raise your head."

Shang Yongzhong's heart skipped a beat.

The emperor asked him to raise his head, but did not call him flat. It seemed that he did not recognize his identity.

Shang Yongzhong had no choice but to do it.

Zhu Youlang looked at the messenger in front of him carefully.

This person has a good facial features and beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

It should be around forty years old, and it is a typical northerner appearance.

This should be the old man who followed Shang Kexi to travel around the world. No wonder Shang Kexi sent him here.

"What do you ask for me to see?"

"Your Majesty, the villain was sent by the Prince of Pingnan. The prince asked the villain to send the 100,000 taels of gold and one million taels of silver to His Majesty."

Shang Yongzhong finished speaking in one breath like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

But he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Will what he said so directly hurt Emperor Yongli's self-esteem?

After all, no matter how much you say, Yongli is the emperor, and even if you give a ransom, you can't be so direct, it's a little bit concealed.

But Zhu Youlang's subsequent words shocked Shang Yongzhong.

"Is this money a little less?"

Shang Yongzhong thought to himself that this emperor was too direct, even if you feel that it is too little, don’t say it out loud.

"Well, if your Majesty has extra needs, the villain can bring a call to the prince."

Zhu Youlang has always said whatever he said. It is indeed a lot more than one million taels of silver, but with the strength of the Shang family, it is not difficult to make up one million taels.

Although Shang Kexi was so painful, it was not as painful as it was.

"Just gold and silver alone are really not sincere. What I mean is that the Shang family may be able to discount it with firearms. As for the craftsman of the Folang machine, I also need it, I guess the Shang family will not refuse it, right?"

Although Zhu Youlang spoke calmly, Shang Yongzhong felt a strong murderous aura from it.

It seemed as if Shang Yongzhong refused to agree, Zhu Youlang would kill him with a knife and axe hand the next moment.

"Well, this villain cannot make decisions. But the villain will definitely show my prince awesome."

Shang Yongzhong did not say anything, but expressed sufficient respect for Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang is not too harsh on this.

He nodded slightly and said, "One hundred cannons, three thousand guns, and five hundred Folang craftsmen will be sent to Jiangxi within one month. Is there any problem?"

"ah!"

Shang Yongzhong was shocked.

Emperor Yongli really spoke loudly.

But now he had no other choice except to follow Zhu Youlang's words, so he could only force himself to smile and said, "Your Majesty, the villain will definitely bring your orders."

He paused, swallowed and spitted, "My prince..."

"The life of your prince depends entirely on Shang Kexi's attitude. If Shang Kexi could satisfy me, Shang Zhixin would naturally live a good life. Otherwise..."

Zhu Youlang didn't finish speaking, but Shang Yongzhong already understood what he meant.

Hiss! What a powerful aura, is this the power of the superior?

In fact, Zhu Youlang had not exerted much force yet, and never thought that Shang Yongzhong was so scared.

"The villain understands that the villain will bring His Majesty's words to him when he returns to Guangzhou!"

Shang Yongzhong kowtowed several times in a row.

"Let's go back if there's nothing else."

Zhu Youlang felt a little tired, so he waved his hand.

"The villain took his leave."

Shang Yongzhong's vest was already wet, and he stood up and retreated like an amnesty.

Emperor Yongli left him so profoundly.

Before this, he always felt that Emperor Yongli was cowardly and incompetent, timid and afraid of trouble, but he was just a puppet raised by Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo was equivalent to Cao Cao, and Yongli was equivalent to Emperor Xian of Han.

Very stereotypical judgment.

But now it seems that Yongli is a true emperor, and he doesn't give in to those famous emperors in history.

The kind of situation where the superiors are light and do not be angry and powerful, they cannot pretend.

No wonder Oboi could not defeat Yongli, and even Hong Chengchou became Yongli's defeated general.

Now it seems that this is normal.

Shang Yongzhong didn't want to stay in Ganjiang City for even a moment. After leaving the government office, he immediately summoned his left and right to leave the city.

As soon as he came, he was anxious to bring the news back to Guangzhou and report the situation to King Pingnan.

Secondly, he was also worried that Yongli would regret it, so he detained him and his followers.

After leaving the city, Shang Yongzhong no longer concealed his desires and swung his whip hard to pinch the horse's belly and headed towards the south.
