Sun Tao was the defeated general of Dongming Ziyu, but it was obvious that he was not willing to accept the defeat.

He snorted coldly and said: "You want to get my Sun family army without any effort. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! You send officials to take over the positions of mayor and garrison general of Linhe Town, as well as other official duties in the yamen, and everything else

Maintain the status."

Dongming Ziyu put the tea cup on the table with a "pop" sound and said coldly: "What a waste of time!"

Mo Wen immediately gave a high-five, "Immediately dozens of well-armed elite soldiers rushed in from outside the tent, their swords were unsheathed, and they surrounded everyone."

"Here comes someone!" Sun Tao was shocked and called the guards outside the tent.

They brought a lot of guards, all of them experts, and they all carried advanced weapons such as firecrackers.

They all stayed at the door of the tent, waiting for their master's call at any time.

Mo Wen said with a smile: "Stop shouting, they have all gone to see the King of Hell!"

"You!" Sun Tao's beard stood straight up angrily, "You are breaking the rules if the two sides are fighting and do not kill each other!"

Mo Wen asked: "You are not here as envoys, but you are using a trick of false surrender to sneak into our military camp, hoping to cooperate inside and outside!"

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "If you don't talk, then fight! You proposed surrender, but you are so picky, do you think I am a fool?"

Mo Wen snorted coldly: "Since you don't cherish the opportunity given to you, then we will rush into the city and all the nine tribes of you who are teasing my prince will be sent to do coolies!"

As for where to go to work as a coolie, of course it would be to Malay Island.

Dongming Ziyu had already planned that all those who surrendered would be kept, so that they could live a good life. Those who were dishonest would be shipped directly to Malay Island to work as coolies. There were large areas of land and mineral deposits there, but there was a shortage of labor.

At this time, Sun Xiangming, who had been watching, spoke, "Don't be anxious, Your Highness King Xuan. I am a general now, and my father is just acting out of his own whim."

Dongming Ziyu knew that the father and son were testing his bottom line.

That brainless Sun Xiangwei probably came to provoke him because of Sun Tao's hint and acquiescence.

Dongming Ziyu will not completely deny them a way to survive. He will still give them the benefits that should be given, but they must be within his control.

So, he said: "Then tell me!"

Sun Xiangming said: "I choose the second option. I will lead my team myself. But the specific military pay, distribution of spoils, promotion of soldiers, etc. must be discussed carefully. The soldiers come out to work hard for wealth and officialdom. If they want the horse to run

, you must give grass to the horse.”

Dongming Ziyu said happily: "Okay!"

Mo Wen waved his hand, and the soldiers put away their weapons and exited the tent in an orderly manner.

Now that the general direction has been determined, the next step is to negotiate the details according to this direction.

In addition, there are some policies for the local aristocratic gentry. The other party will show certain benefits and sincerity, and Dongming Ziyu will ensure their safety and not take advantage of the big ones.

You know, war is cruel. After a city is captured, it will usually be burned, killed, and looted.

Dongming Ziyu is considered benevolent and righteous, and he never kills innocent people indiscriminately, but he is not so polite to some bully country squires, wealthy merchants and landlords. Otherwise, how will he make up for the expenses of attacking cities and raising troops?

At the negotiation table, people from both sides fought back and forth, and by nightfall, a cooperation agreement was reached.

Without further delay, Dongming Ziyu immediately ordered to break out of the camp and march into the city to take over Linhe Town.

That night, the warehouse was opened to store grain and food was given to the refugees and ordinary people.

The common people and refugees cheered and praised, rushed to tell each other, and warmly welcomed the soldiers of Yuancheng.

They all hope that Nanyun, which has escaped from the war, can slowly live a prosperous and happy life like Yuancheng and Xuanzhou.

Dongming Ziyu will not stay in a small Linhe town by himself. He will set out to attack the next border tomorrow.

He wants to take Yuancheng as the center of the circle and encroach on Nanyun outward in a radiating arc, gradually expanding his territory.

At this time, the staff he usually recruited came in handy.

Every time a town is conquered, a few staff will be left to manage the town, and they will become the local parent officials. In the future, when the territory is large, they will be promoted slowly depending on their ability. These will be the pillars and mainstays of the court in the future.

Knowing that Dongming Ziyu would leave Linhe Town tomorrow, Sun Tao, Sun Xiangming and the local wealthy gentry insisted on hosting a banquet for Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, and organized a reception and farewell banquet at the same time.

Dongming Ziyu knew that there was still something good to do, so he reluctantly agreed.

He only needs to give instructions, and the people below will naturally do the specific things. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Now those people have a place to use and are full of energy.

Dongming Ziyu ordered Mo Wen to arrange for hundreds of masters to be dispersed around and inside the Sun Mansion compound, and they would communicate with each other in secret codes so that if something happened inside, they would be able to respond immediately.

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't think it will be a Hongmen Banquet. After all, both parties need to cooperate. Sun Tao and his like will not kill us."

Dongming Ziyu said concisely and concisely: "Not necessarily, just in case."

What to guard against? Shangguan Ruoli thought about it briefly and remembered Mo Wen's "conspiracy".

If this thing goes wrong, Sun Tao might really want to kill them to silence them, and he will really need someone to take care of him.

It seems that starting from tomorrow, the Sun family's reputation will be tarnished.

If Sun Xiangming takes the Sun family army to follow Dongming Ziyu again and is no longer in the place, the Sun family's prestige will plummet.

At this time, don't even think about reporting outside: "Your Majesty, Princess, Sun Ruoxue, the concubine of the Sun family, wants to see the Princess."

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he could say anything, Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Let her go!"

For a concubine to dare to get close to them, she really thought it was shameful.

Outside, Mo Xiang said to the government servant who came to deliver the message: "Please go back, Miss Sun. My master is busy."

They wanted to take over all the positions and affairs of the yamen, so they were always busy in the yamen.

The yamen servant said cautiously: "Miss Sun is here to seek medical treatment. She heard that the princess has excellent medical skills..."

This yamen servant tried his best to lobby for Sun Ruoxue, and he probably took advantage of her.

Shangguan Ruoli sneered softly and said: "I am not a doctor. Let her go to a doctor when she is sick!"

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Give this government servant a salary and let him work for Miss Sun!"

The officer's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground begging for mercy. He regretted accepting Sun Ruoxue's benefits at this juncture and offending King Xuan.

King Xuan was using him to kill chickens and scare monkeys to warn some people that the days when the Sun family was king have passed, and now King Xuan is the master of Linhe Town.

Mo Xiang said coldly: "We advise you to leave quickly, otherwise the prince will regret it and your life will be lost."

The yamen servant dared to pester me, so he quickly got up and ran away.

Shangguan Ruoli snorted coldly, "This one, unlike Sun Xiangwei's arrogance, is very low-key. He should be much more sophisticated than Sun Xiangwei."

Dongming Ziyu was noncommittal. He really had no interest in girls from the Sun family.
