Soon after, Zhang Ning followed Zhu Heng's suggestion and temporarily gave up Jingzhou; then the Zhuque army stationed the food, grass and weapons supplies in Yuezhou, transferred ships to transport supplies from the water route to the river, and the soldiers walked by land route, approaching Wuchang Prefecture by water route.
Although they occupied Yuezhou, the navy was unable to block the entrance of Dongting Lake and could not cut off the Yangtze River.
The water supply was still in danger of the Jingzhou navy, and it was agreed that the army could only protect the fleet. If it was harassed by the official navy, the fleet would be brought near the south bank and then use artillery to resist the enemy from the land.
The army drove down and fought another battle in Linxiang City, and then surrendered without fighting.
The troops were heading straight to Wuchang, but the powerful official army had not received any reinforcements. It seemed that nothing could stop the Suzaku Army from capturing Wuchang City.
At this moment, the mission that had set out from Changde City to Nanjing returned and met with Zhang Ning's central army halfway.The envoy was still Chen Maocai, who was good at eloquence and was ordered to do such things several times for some reason.
Zhang Ning met Chen Maocai first in the Central Army tent. When he learned that the King of Han had also sent several people to contact him, he immediately felt that there was a chance in this matter, and at least Nanjing responded positively.
In fact, the content of this negotiation is very simple: the guards of Jiujiang Prefecture had already responded to the King of Han; but the King of Han mainly operated in southern Zhili, and all the troops were arranged there. Jiujiang Prefecture and other places to the west were not only neglected to operate, but also basically had no control and few soldiers. The defense of the official army was better than nothing, and there was a possibility of repeated recurrence among local officials.
Zhang Ning hoped that the King of Han would send a general to lead troops to Jiujiang Prefecture and properly manage the surrounding important towns and strongholds.
This proposal was originally a favorable thing for both parties.
In the overall situation, connecting the middle and lower reaches into a complete line, forming a confrontation between the north and the south; for the King of Han, he was unable to expedition to Wuchang Prefecture at the time, but now he can complete his previous strategic intentions by consolidating Jiujiang Prefecture. Without the need for a great war, he can eliminate dangers in one direction. Why not do it?
Unexpectedly, when Chen Maocai recounted the attitude of the Han Palace, everyone in the Senate was shocked.
This time, the King of Han sent several envoys to accompany him. It turned out to be a condition: Nanjing agreed to the suggestion from Huguang, as a exchange, several conditions. First, let Jianwen Army hand over the traitor Zhu Heng and escort him to Nanjing to wait for the King of Han to fail; second, after the King of Han Army arrived in Jiujiang Prefecture, the Zhuque Army had to provide some money, grain and a number of new firearms to consolidate the operation and defense of various places...
After listening to Chen Maocai's narration, the people from the Senate all cursed.
Some of them shouted: If we hadn't had the current weak force and had already fought Wuchang, we would go straight to the east and seize Jiujiang and other places. At that time, the Han King was attacked from both sides and we were too late to ask for it, so we still have the face to give us the conditions?
When Zhu Heng heard about himself, he had to stand up and kneel down and express his opinion: After all, we are powerless and make plans for major issues. The prince can hand over the ministers and exchange one person for the overall situation to be stable.
Zhang Ning stepped forward and helped him up with his own hands, and said without thinking: Obviously it is impossible.
Everyone knew that Zhu Heng was highly valued by the King of Xiang and regarded him as his minister. He thought he wanted to say something to win people's hearts, but unexpectedly, one sentence was very simple and it was impossible to finish it.
Liang Yan, a staff member of the Senate, was always very low-key, and he couldn't help but say: Is the King of Han doing his own life or is the people in the mansion full of pigs' brains!If this continues, the Jingying camp will fight to Nanjing, who will escape the death penalty?
Zhu Heng sighed: It is also possible that the Han Palace has the potential to ask for others, so we just need to take the opportunity to get some benefits.In any case, we must protect the King of Han now.If the Jingying breaks the river defense from the downstream or middlestream, once the Han King is destroyed, our situation will be unfavorable and we have to observe the coldness of our lips and teeth.
This is indeed a truth, but Zhang Ning thinks that it would be too sarcastic to negotiate negatively because of this...
However, no matter how much the King of Han said, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, which played a great role in hindering the situation; otherwise, if the Eastern Front was also under the control of the court, the Vermilion Bird Army would obviously face a situation of being surrounded by enemies.
It can be imagined that Jingzhou is still under the hands of the government army, and the upstream is dangerous; the front of the north is also a long front line; the east is approaching with Nanjing as the center, and the river defense is gone; although the Mu King on Yunnan is far away, it cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Zhang Ning personally met the envoy of the King of Han and actively bargained with him. Except for the first article, there was no room for negotiation, other benefits could be negotiated, even if it was an unreasonable request.
The envoy of the King of Han specifically mentioned the need for the new firearms of the Vermilion Bird Army. Obviously, Nanjing also noticed the situation in the war in Huguang.
The battle of Yuanshui exceeded 10,000 yuan, which was too eye-catching. All parties realized the power of the firearm in Zhang Ning's hand.
Zhang Ning was afraid that after refusing to hand over Zhu Heng's conditions, the Han Palace would lose interest in negotiations and treat them negatively...
As a member of Jianwen and his family, the King of Han was probably also wary of it; Zhang Ning was preparing to propose conditions to aid the King of Han's arms.
The Senate Department has quite controversial about this matter.
Opponents were worried that the firearm technology would spread and that they would lose their own strengths and advantages; they also proposed to raise tigers as a disaster. After all, the Han Palace occupied a good place, and there were many soldiers and generals, so it would never be possible for the same path as the Suzaku Army.
The King Yàn and the Jianwen clan ultimately had no room for compromise. Not only was the Han Dynasty's palace guarding against the Suzaku Army, but the Senate of the Suzaku Army was also guarding against them.
Among the supporters is Zhu Heng. Zhu Heng believes that the firearm technology has been leaked to the government army, and the government army has not been used on the battlefield for the time being, but because it takes a process from mass manufacturing to practical equipment training, it will appear on the battlefield sooner or later.
More than half a year ago, we had confirmed that the Jinyiwei had persuaded some people from the weapons bureau, including Fan Si, the former weapons bureau; there were also several defeats in Lizhou and the fall of Changde, and the army was destroyed. The battlefield was chaotic and the defeated army could not destroy all weapons, and there must be physical objects falling into the hands of the official army.In addition to the newly made long-barrel field guns a few months ago, the mortar cannon, Franc cannon, and the mesh cannon have been leaked. I have visited the Weapon Bureau workshop many times, thinking that it might not be easy to design these firearms first, but if it is a copy, the requirements are not high.Not to mention that the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department specializes in developing these things, even folk workshops can be imitated...
If the government forces use these firearms in the future, the Han King's Army will be unfavorable to fight, and it will be no good for us to lose the Han King's Army; since it has been leaked to the court, it is not impossible to show goodwill to the Han King with firearms as conditions.Someone just proposed raising a tiger as a disaster, but I don’t agree with it. As for the current situation of the Han Palace, it is not our biggest concern at all; the real enemy is the capital court.
At this time, Wang Yu stood up and said, "I have an idea, I dare to raise it here, I hope you don't laugh."
Zhang Ning encouraged: Only by expressing one's own opinions can one gather ideas and it's okay to say something directly.
Wang Yu said: We are taking over quickly now, and in the eyes of the court, there may be a sign of growing prosperity.Since we want to unite the King of Han to deal with powerful enemies, the court has many talents who are united and united, will they adjust their strategies and try to convince the King of Han?After all, the pseudo-Emperor Xuande and the King of Han are in the same lineage. After they feel the danger, can they guarantee to deal with us together?
Zhu Heng said: To be honest, Jianwenjun and King Yàn are both Taizu's veins.Although Xuande and the King of Han were uncles and nephews, who did not know that things have become water and fire so far?As long as one side is defeated, the other side will never be able to give up easily... Take a step back, even if the court and the Han King quit their troops, the Han King would not be so stupid that they really helped the court to reduce the pressure and help the evildoer, and attack us in turn. At that time, the situation changed a little, from the Han King restraining the main force of the court and us restraining the Beijing camp, which has not changed in reality.
After hearing this, Wang Yu hurriedly said: Zhu Butang’s words are reasonable.
After arguing, the Senate finally reached a decision to use firearms to help the King of Han in exchange for their troops to send troops to Jiujiang Prefecture.
The next step is negotiations. After all, the conditions proposed by the Han Palace include Zhu Heng; Zhang Ning sent Wang Yu and Liang Yan to assist Chen Maocai in discussing with the envoy.
The conditions proposed by the Suzaku Army were quite generous, promising that once the Han Wang Army arrived in Jiujiang Prefecture, it would provide a large number of combs and artillery, and sent officials to help them establish workshops for manufacturing and repairing firearms; with sharp firearms, the Han Wang could also be used for city defenses in various parts of Southern Zhili, which would effectively block the attack of the Beijing camp.
In addition, after the tax collection and taxation will be collected next autumn, the Zhuque Army will transfer the food and grass to Yuezhou, and then send a large amount of money and grain from Yuezhou to Jiujiang Prefecture...
Of course, the one behind is just a cake, which looks good, but I don’t know what the situation will look like after the autumn harvest next year. Maybe the Suzaku Army or the Han Wang Army will be destroyed.
But later, it was added that opening up the exchanges between East and West Trading Businesses is actually beneficial to the Han King. The southeast coast is rich but lacks food. Once a large amount of trade is allowed, Huguang and other places can provide sufficient military ration guarantee for the Han King Army.
The Senate Department has expressed enough sincerity and benefits, and the envoys of the King of Han were also moved. They said they would send someone to report to Nanjing urgently and give a reply.
Liang Yan was still in the negotiations and suggested that the envoy's personal interests: money must be allocated for building firearm workshops, and the bureaucrats in charge can also make some money if they are done. After the commerce and trade, the power-based official can also collect taxes...
Liang Yan just hinted, but the messenger actually responded that he knew a lot of people in Nanjing and had a wide range of friends. If the King of Hunan was willing to fund it and he came forward to give gifts and walk around, it might be easier.
Wang Yu and Liang Yan quickly reported the news to Zhang Ning and made several suggestions.
Only then did Zhang Ning suddenly realize that he had taken into account the pros and cons of both parties' affairs before, but he ignored that it was also someone who was doing business.
At that time, he instructed Wang Yu and others to promise the envoys a lot of money and help deliver them to the place when they go back to Nanjing. When the envoys from Nanjing go back and want to go around and lobby, the ministers from all over the place will pay temporarily.
The people of the Senate thought that this method was stable, otherwise they would give all the money to the messenger. If this guy took the money and didn't do anything, who would he go to then?
Although they occupied Yuezhou, the navy was unable to block the entrance of Dongting Lake and could not cut off the Yangtze River.
The water supply was still in danger of the Jingzhou navy, and it was agreed that the army could only protect the fleet. If it was harassed by the official navy, the fleet would be brought near the south bank and then use artillery to resist the enemy from the land.
