Chapter 267 Pay back the money at a high price

Although Lu Wenheng was angry, he did not dare to attack on the spot. After coughing, he suppressed his anger and said, "This... Don't worry. Since this official came here, he naturally needs to listen to the idea of the head. If Yu doesn't agree with the request made by me just now, you might as well Tell me what you think!"

Lu Wenheng can say such a point, which is also a lot of face for Yu Xiaotian. After all, he is here to negotiate now. He still hopes that the negotiation can succeed. Naturally, he can't overturn this hard-won opportunity just because of one sentence.

So Yu Xiaotian took a look at Lin Yiyang next to him. Lin Yiyang smiled indifferently, took out a fold from his arms and said, "Since Lord Lu said so, the students have drawn up a request from us in advance. Please take a look at it first, and it's not too late to talk about it next!"

After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, Lu Wenheng nodded and asked his men to take over the fold in Lin Yiyang's hand and presented it to him.

Lu Wenheng opened the request submitted by the sea wolf and watched it from beginning to end, and his face began to turn green as he watched the request.

Because the conditions submitted by this sea wolf are too harsh, the others are not bad, but the most important ones are simply blackmailing Fujian officials.

One is that the sea wolf proposed that it is okay to accept the recruitment, but Yu Xiaotian must be appointed as the deputy general of Fujian coastal defense. This alone will kill him.

Because at this time, before the Ming Dynasty had reached the time of complete chaos, the deputy generals of the generals ran all over the ground and grabbed a large number of them, and the generals, including the generals, were all appointed by the holy judge. That is to say, the generals at this level are regarded as generals of the economic system, and have never been directly appointed through recruitment. Of.

If a local official wants to recruit a huge bandit, he can only open a thousand presidents, which is also a garrison official position. Even if it is the top day, it is impossible for the sea wolf to open his mouth and want a deputy general position.

If this is the case, it won't be a mess that day. As long as there are troubles that are difficult to solve, wouldn't it be equivalent to solving the problem if you casually lose the position of a deputy general?

But the problem is that the risk of doing so, you should know that the deputy generals, including the generals, are all generals of one party, and their subordinates can easily control tens of thousands of troops. Once this can't be controlled, then things will be in trouble. The luxury chaos is an example. One party's troops rebel, which is far more powerful than ordinary thieves. A lot.

Because once they accept the recruitment, they will turn into officers and soldiers. The court will have to bear their food, salaries and equipment. They can use these assets to grow rapidly and are in danger of losing their tail.

So not to mention that they dare not agree to this, even if they agree, this matter must be reported to the court and decided through the imperial court. For Fujian officials, Xiong Wencan does not have this power to meet this condition proposed by Xiaotian.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian proposed on this fold that if he accepts Zhao'an, everything will remain the same, which means that Yu Xiaotian has changed his identity, but the things he took will not be returned to the Fujian official.

If this is the case, then Lu Wenheng secretly thought that even if the recruitment is successful this time, is there any practical significance for their Fujian officials? The lost one has been lost. If they don't return it, there is nothing they can do. If it goes on like this, won't this recruitment become a joke?

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also proposed that it is okay to recruit his soldiers, horses and fleet, but he should be given a quota of 20,000 soldiers and horses. After the consolidation, the official will be responsible for providing him with a full amount of food and horses.

This matter is even more unlikely to be accepted, because after the sea wolf's troops accept the recruitment, they will definitely adapt according to the town army. They will never put so many soldiers and horses in one place. They must find a way to disperse and settle them. Otherwise, 20,000 elite soldiers will definitely be an unstable factor. Shen may become a knife hanging on the head of Fujian officials. In the future, it will definitely not fall off, and no one can control it.

You should know that the number of soldiers on paper in Fujian is only about 100,000, which also includes a large number of empty pay places. After removing these, in fact, the number of soldiers is less than 60,000. After the conflict with sea wolves in the past six months, the total number of troops left in Fujian is only 30,000 to 40,000 people.

If the overall conditions for receiving the sea wolf after recruiting sea wolves and giving them 20,000 soldiers, Fujian will really become the world of sea wolves.

Think about the huge Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong's troops. When they accepted the soldiers, they only appointed 20,000 soldiers and horses for Mao Wenlong. However, it is impossible for Yu Xiaotian to recruit 20,000 soldiers at once this time.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian also put forward other conditions, such as assigning Haitan Island and Nanri Island to him in the future as the location of his garrison, and Haitan Island is the largest island in Fujian. Who dares to say that Haitan Island will be handed over to Yu Xiaotian like this?

Combining these articles, Lu Wenheng only felt that one head and two were big. He had never thought that Xiaotian's appetite would be so big. He would put forward such harsh conditions for this recruitment, so before he finished reading it, his face had turned iron blue. If he hadn't dared to attack at this time, I guess Ji Lu Wenheng had already kicked over the table and ordered his men to take Yu Xiaotian down and drag it out to cut it.

Because Lin Yiyang did not directly disclose these conditions, but conveyed the information to Lu Wenheng through this paper. Other officials did not know what the specific conditions proposed by Hailang were, but they also felt something bad from Lu Wenheng's face.

Because Lu Wenheng's face has become more and more ugly since he took over the conditions proposed by the sea wolf, and even his hands tremble a little.

Although Qian Xiaocheng does not have a direct official position on the surface, this negotiation seems to be dominated by Lu Wenheng, but after all, he is Xiong Wencan's staff, and this time he proposed to recruit security. Therefore, in this negotiation, Qian Xiaocheng has a detached special position.

Just now, when Lu Wenheng put forward the conditions for recruitment, he immediately noticed a trace of disdain on Yu Xiaotian's face. With his current understanding of Xiaotian, he knew that Lu Wenheng would definitely not give Lu Wenheng any good look on his face. Sure enough, Yu Xiaotian immediately threw out his note. Pieces.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not speak directly, but wrote the conditions they listed on a piece of paper and presented them to Lu Wenheng. Therefore, although Qian Xiaocheng was eager to understand what conditions Yu Xiaotian had issued, why is the paper still in Lu Wen now? In Heng's hand, he was anxious but couldn't see what was written on it.

So after hesitating for a while, Qian Xiaocheng whispered to Lu Wenheng, "Lord Lu! But I don't know what conditions the head of the house has put up?"

Lu Wenheng's face was blue with anger at this time. There was no place to get out of this anger. Suddenly, someone asked him, so he was waiting to grab a gas cylinder to get angry first, but he turned his head and saw that it was Qian Xiaocheng who asked, so he could only resist his anger, because Qian Xiaocheng was not his subordinate, but He said that he came here on behalf of Xiong Wencan, but he didn't dare to be angry with him.

So after thinking about it, he hummed angrily and handed the paper given to him by Lin Yiyang to Qian Xiaocheng, and said with a careless face, "Qian Zanhua, take a look at it yourself!" Humph!"

Qian Xiaocheng didn't know what was written on it, and he could make Lu Wenheng, who was usually quite elegant, like this, so he quickly took it with both hands and read it at a glance.

After he finished reading it, his chin almost fell to the ground and almost exclaimed on the spot. Finally, he resisted not exclaiming, but his face also became as ugly as being kicked.

"This...this...this is too..." After Qian Xiaocheng looked at the conditions proposed by Yu Xiaotian, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't help stamming a little.

So with Lu Wenheng's acquiescence, the condition proposed by the sea wolf was quickly circulated among the official officials. After reading this condition, two of them couldn't help shouting, "This... this is simply shameless! Delusion!"

After someone said something, others couldn't help but start to scold each other. At this moment, the officials were very angry, and the atmosphere in the account suddenly became tense.

On the contrary, the people on Yu Xiaotian's side all showed a look of old gods. They didn't think at all, and coldly watched these officials lose their temper there.

However, Lu Wenheng and Qian Xiaocheng suppressed their anger and did not participate in the accusation against the sea wolves. They looked at the expressions of Yu Xiaotian and others.

After everyone vented for a while, Lu Wenheng coughed twice and stopped the angry rebuking of his officials. Until this time, Yu Xiaotian shook his head and showed a rogue expression and said to Lu Wenheng, "Lord Lu has also read our request. So I don't know how Lord Lu feels? "

Lu Wenheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "I think the conditions you set by the head are too harsh. I'm afraid we can't meet your requirements as the head! And I think that if you do this, you obviously have no sincerity to accept Zhao'an! So I'm afraid it's difficult for us to continue talking!"

"Wrong! Lord Lu made a big mistake! Yu is quite sincere. If Yu is not sincere, how can he put forward these conditions so painstakingly? And if Yu is not sincere, how can he take such a big risk to come here to negotiate with Lord Lu? Therefore, Lord Lu said that he was not sincere, which was obviously too arbitrary!

In addition, since Lord Lu can ask for a sky-high price, why is it not allowed to sit down and pay back the money?

If Lord Lu thinks that we can't reach an agreement, then I won't force anything. After all, Lord Lu is only the governor of Fuzhou, and some things are not convenient to make the decision. I can wait for this kind of thing, so we might as well talk about it later!" Yu Xiaotian still maintained a rogue face, trimming his nails with a small file and said to Lu Wenheng.
