Chapter 379 Psychological Tactics

"Who is Geng Zhongming?"

"People who didn't pay attention!"

"Oh? How could you not pay attention to it?"

"He is a general. He was a mine disciple. He was the first to listen to Mao Wenlong and surrendered to the Tartars. He was just raised as a dog. After so many years, he has no aura. Now what he wants most is to save his life and keep the family's glory and wealth."

"What does he think of An Guojun?"

"I should be very scared. I am a little man. Geng Zhongming and his son are having banquets every day. Although they have the intention of getting information, they seem to be trying to get closer and leave a way out for themselves!"

...

This conversation kept flashing through Wu Kaijie's mind. From Wu Huanju's description, the image of a villain who was trembling and at both ends of the head and rat gradually emerged.

With this judgment, Wu Kaijie secretly formulated his own strategy of dealing with it.

After meeting Geng Zhongming, Wu Kaijie looked arrogant and was not polite at all.

"General Geng, I'm here to be here. Wouldn't you invite me in?"

Geng Zhongming smiled dryly on his face and nodded, "I'm so rude, please come in."

When Wu Kaijie arrived at the door, he glanced at Fan Yongdou, who was well-dressed, and sneered: "Who is this?"

"I am Fan Yongdou of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I came to pay homage to King Huaishun by the order of the Regent. You Mingdog will surrender as soon as possible, so as not to fall to the ground!"

"Hahaha, the dress is so pretty that I can't even say anything. I'm not ashamed to think that I'm a Manchu when I shave my whip!"

Wu Kaijie spat, turned around and left. Fan Yongdou still wanted to speak, but Wu Huanju rushed over and stepped on Fan Yongdou's boots. The hard military boots almost crushed the guy's toes, and Fan Yongdou screamed.

"King Huaishun, can you bear such a madman? Why don't you arrest him?"

Geng Zhongming ignored him and said, "Mr. Fan, do you need to find a doctor for you?"

"No, I can hold on!"

Fan Yongdou had to grit his teeth and limp to the hall. Geng Zhongming sat in the middle. Wu Kaijie crossed his legs without hesitation. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "General Geng, after Battalion Commander Wu returned to Henan, he told me about your preparations for anti-Qing and told the prince. To be honest, the prince didn't believe it very much. He felt that Geng Zhongming had been in the Tartars for many years and had no choice but to turn back. What's more, he was guilty of being a serious person, and the people of the world would not bypass him. Therefore, he should be brought to justice, just like dealing with Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and others, to cut into slander and peel the daylily to serve as a warning to others!"

Fan Yongdou sat next to him. When he heard Wu Kaijie's words, he almost laughed. Is this the words to recruit the other party? He didn't even understand a little polite. Isn't this forcing Geng Zhongming to have a quarrel with them?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile on his face: Han people are all virtues, they are too concerned about face and morality, and they are not as flexible as the Qing court! They do not have the grand ambition of the regent at all.

Fan Yongdou also crossed his legs, as if waiting for Geng Zhongming to chop Wu Kaijie.

But he didn't see it. Just as Wu Kaijie spoke, Geng Zhongming's teacup in his hand touched, and his arms twitched unconsciously.

Wu Kaijie pretended not to see it and continued to say, "General Geng. King Zhongshan doesn't want to give the general a chance. Do you know what happened next?"

Geng Zhongming didn't say anything, Geng Jumao asked anxiously: "Class Wu, since you are here, let's make it clear. We father and son know how to choose!"

"Hahaha, I won't keep my mind at silence. The prince and I advised that if we had been a year ago, we would definitely not accept General Geng's surrender, but after the battles in northern Henan, the two Huaihe River, and the battles in Shaanxi, the strength and weakness of the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty have changed. As long as we are not fools, the strength and foundation of the Ming Dynasty are far superior to that of the Tatars, and there are also loyal ministers and generals like Zhongshan. It will only take a few years for the restoration of lost territory and Zhongshan to revive the Ming Dynasty. I believe that any smart person will know this overall situation. Of course, for the people of the world, the faster they come, the less losses. If General Geng can surrender, Shanxi is about to recover, at least thousands of soldiers will be killed less, and millions of people can avoid twists and turns. After all, the king of Zhongshan agreed to accept General Geng's surrender. How about it, General Geng, you should thank the prince and the official!"

"All nonsense!"

Fan Yongdou jumped up, pointed at Wu Kaijie with his finger, and said sternly: "What kind of thing do you dare to speak wildly. The Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is unparalleled in the world. Even with the small setbacks, with the regent's talent and strategy, he can overcome the past. Gu Zhenhua disrespects the king and slaughter countless times. He has long been angry and resentful, and he still dares to speak wildly here. King Huaishun, you are also a dignified prince. With heavy troops in your hand, can you tolerate such a madman ignore you like this? You..."

He wanted to speak, but Wu Huanju grabbed the teacup and slammed it hard on Fan Yongdou's face. The broken porcelain pieces cut through his face. Fan Yongdou screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"I'll tell you that the Anguo Army's traitor list has long been named. If you didn't sell supplies to the Tartars, you wouldn't have the disaster today. Every money you earn is soaked in the blood of millions of Han people. Aren't you afraid that those unjust souls will seek your life? I tell you that if others don't care, the Anguo Army won't care. Sooner or later, one day you will be able to restore the world. A sinner like you should destroy your ten clans, dig out all the ancestral tombs, crush your bones and ashes!"

Wu Huanju's gritted teeth and frightened Fan Yongdou's whole body. At this time, Geng Jumao suddenly stood up and smiled at Wu Huanju and said, "Brother Wu, don't be angry. For my sake, you have something to say."

"Face? Prince, why did you tell me at the beginning? You must surrender to the Anguo Army anyway. After I went back, I invited the deputy chief over, but you also took in the lackeys of the Tartars, with two faces and three swords. How do you let me be a human being?"

Now it was Geng Zhongming's turn to embarrass him and wanted to drink a little tea, but he choked. Geng Zhongming coughed, and then smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you have to compare shopping. You said that you are a big deal about your wealth and life, how dare I make a decision casually!"

Wu Kaijie's face suddenly turned gloomy, and suddenly stood up, pulled Wu Huanju, turned around and walked outside.

Geng Zhongming was frightened now. He couldn't touch his head at all and waved his hand quickly. He asked his son Geng Jumao to hurriedly stop Wu Kaijie and the others.

"Why, General Geng wants to keep us and present a gift to the Tartars?"

"How dare you, how dare you!" Geng Jumao said: "Criminal Wu, my father said that we can make up our minds after all, so that we can make up our minds after all."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Wu Kaijie suddenly laughed to the sky: "Geng Zhongming, do you know that he is rebelling and doing the work of destroying the nine clans. This can be talked about and bargained, just based on your knowledge and ability. His mind is gone. Wu dare not say that he is extremely smart, but he will not talk to a half-dead person like you!"

"Let's go, let's go back to Henan!"

"Slow down!" Geng Zhongming heard Wu Kaijie's words, cold sweat broke out from his forehead. He took a few steps to Wu Kaijie and bowed deeply.

"Captain Wu, I wake up the dreamer with one word. Geng was indeed wrong. Please ask Deputy Wu to give me a chance to remedy."

Wu Kaijie took a long breath, turned back to his seat, and said in a tone of regret: "General Geng, if I were you, I would not wait foolishly, but should immediately seize the land and hoard food, grass and weapons. Be prepared for the war. Are you worried that the King of Zhongshan will turn against you and kill you, a traitor? I tell you that the more you are worried, the more you need to fight the war. As long as you can defend Taiyuan and defeat the Tartars, even if the King of Zhongshan wants to deal with you, will the people in the world agree? Does the King of Zhongshan still want to win more people's hearts? Take a step back, even if you don't want to surrender to the Anguo Army, you still want to mingle with the Qing Dynasty. With your ability, can Dorgon respect you? The weaker and incompetent you are, the more you will be done first. If you don't have the strength, what bargaining chips do you have?"

Mr. Geng Zhongming and Mr. Geng Jumao were like elementary school students, and were scolded by Wu Kaijie. However, what is surprising is that the man and Mr. Geng were not only not angry, but also listened with relish and nodded.

"The second-general is indeed brilliant. I admire him so much."

At this time, Fan Yongdou had already struggled to get up from the ground. Seeing Geng Zhongming's attitude towards Wu Kaijie, Fan Yongdou felt a little embarrassed.

"King Huaishun, the villain just said that the poisonous wine is a misunderstanding, and the regent still value the prince as always. Why do you have to surrender to the Ming court? It's not a gentleman's behavior if you repeat it so repeatedly!"

Fan Yongdou blurted out in desperation, and Geng Zhongming's face suddenly became gloomy.

"I am a gentleman, but Mr. Fan doesn't bother you!"

Fan Yongdou was also panicked and said hurriedly: "Prince, the villain has no contempt. Think about it, the villain has sent you a million taels of silver. What did they send? With the help of his lips and tongue, he wanted you to serve with his brothers. This is too despised!"

Fan Yongdou's words sounded reasonable. Geng Zhongming and his wife were in trouble again. This thing is neither left nor right, and it really cost them my life!

It is indeed too unfair to have a reputation for being capricious. Otherwise, you might as well kill Wu Kaijie and the others and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty! There are many ambushing soldiers on both sides, and with just a wave of their hands, they can cut off Wu Kaijie.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Geng Zhongming's eyes, and another trace of hesitation flashed, intertwining back and forth, unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Captain Wu, I dare to ask, I wonder if you can guarantee the safety of Geng's family. Please give me a reassurance!"

Wu Kaijie smiled slightly: "General Geng, this time I came here not to be humble, please surrender. I didn't go to Huajie Liuxiang and saw the top girl and bid with them. One million taels of silver, a great price, is enough to make several red gold statues? I just want to ask General Geng, can this money be exchanged for a head?"

Wu Kaijie's eyes were like two sharp blades, staring at Geng Zhongming, forcing him to lower his head. Geng Zhongming's heart was filled with a stir, and he seemed to have some idea.

Wu Kaijie is so tough and he is not polite, but at least it can be seen that An Guojun has the capital and confidence. However, Dorgon was both an official and a wish, and it seems that he has something to ask for.

According to ordinary principles, whoever needs himself more and whoever pays a higher price should follow.

But when I turned around, this question was not that simple. An Guojun was so powerful, to put it bluntly, An Guojun had enough confidence, but Dorgon, who was too brave to win over himself!

As for the poisoning, it is not important. Right and wrong are useless in politics. The hatred between him and the Manchu nobles has been planted, so don’t try to resolve it easily. Now that he is suppressed and waiting for peace, he will also be revealed!

Geng Zhongming unconsciously touched his head. If he wanted to save his life, he would still have to follow the strong!

"Come!"

With a shout, countless guards with swords rushed in and surrounded everyone.

Fan Yongdou immediately laughed: "Prince, you should be severely punished for such a madman. Don't worry, the Regent will definitely not treat you badly!"

"Catch this noisy crow!"

Geng Zhongming's fingers instantly pointed at Fan Yongdou. Before this guy could figure out what was going on, he was rushed up by soldiers around him and pressed to the ground.

Geng Zhongming bowed deeply at Wu Kaijie again, "Second Chief, Geng once made a big mistake. Now he only wants to make up for one or two. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Seeing Geng Zhongming bow his head, Wu Kaijie also secretly relaxed his heart. In fact, he was also playing psychological tactics. He was far less calm than he seemed. Maybe his mind would be lost at any time! But it was obvious that Geng Zhongming was much braver than him.

Wu Huanju was sweating while standing aside, and couldn't help but give his cousin a thumbs up.

Wu Kaijie smiled slightly: "General Geng, don't be polite. There are some things here, you can take them and take them to take them!"

As he said that, he sent a memorial and several lists. Geng Zhongming and Geng Jumao hurriedly took it in their hands and looked carefully.

This memorial was written to the court in the name of Gu Zhenhua, hoping that the court would pardon Geng Zhongming's crimes and grant him the position of general, and Geng Jumao was the deputy general.

As for the list, there were many weapons listed, including 5,000 clamps, 100 cannons, 200,000 kilograms of explosives, and a lot of them were listed.

When Geng Zhongming saw it, he was puzzled and puzzled: "Second sir, isn't this exactly what Geng wants? Why didn't you take it out just now?"

"Hahaha, General Geng, I just took it out. Do you still have this attitude?"

Geng Jumao also asked: "Class Wu, you don't take it out, if..."

"If I die in your hands, right? If I die, you promise that I will survive without dying! As I said, I am not asking you to surrender. These are rewards to you anyway, not bargaining chips!"

Geng Zhongming and Geng Jumao were completely convinced. Geng Zhongming said with emotion: "Customer Wu is really brave. We are convinced by our father and son. But we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty at the moment, and we still lack food and wages, so we don't know..."
