Soon, a man who looked honest and had rough and powerful hands, and at first glance, the man who was a man from the Zhuang family walked in with Ma Shihua. As soon as the man entered the big tent, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Pu, looking extremely honest.

Only those eyes that were buried on the ground and occasionally flashed with a glimmer of light could tell that this man was definitely not as stupid as he showed.

Wang Pu looked up and saw the man kneeling on the ground honestly. He almost couldn't help laughing when he saw him. The man was wearing a very dissatisfied brocade suit and wearing a pretty squid in a pretty ordinary countryside

Only then did I wear a unified hat, but it was actually the kind of melon-skin hat that I wore in the Qing Dynasty in the future, and my clothes were inlaid with gold, silver and gems.

If this outfit was worn by a certain squire and landlord, it might have shown a hint of gentleness and elegance. However, no matter how you look at it, how you feel it is inconsistent. It feels like a monkey wearing clothes and pretending to be a good person.

"Greetings to the master." The man said in a muffled voice.

"Okay, get up." Although Wang Pu was talking to the man, his eyes looked at Ma Shihua next to him, as if asking whether this person was really the bandits in the encirclement?

After seeing Ma Shihua nodding silently, Wang Pu suddenly felt emotion, there was no bandit, and the surrender of such a big thing, even a person who could speak cleverly. There was no wonder they wanted it.

surrender.

"What's the matter with you here this time?"

The man just knelt on the ground, not even dared to raise his head, and lay on the ground and said, "Master, my family's stewardship let me surrender to the master. I hope the master can reward my family's stewardship with an official."

This guy is really ignorant. Wang Pu was so funny that he could tell the officials so proudly. He was really a bunch of mud legs, and he didn't know any etiquette at all. He was in vain and was so cautious about them.

Wang Pu gradually felt underestimating the enemy, and he realized that he had seen through these bandits, but he still had to take some action. After all, he had not received the money yet, how could he easily agree? Do you still have the face?

Wang Pu pretended to be angry and said, "Official position is a famous tool of the country, how can you easily grant it? What contributions do you have to the country, the country, and the people? How dare you seek officials so frivolously? If everyone wants to give up, give up.

If you want it, what's the face of the court?"

The man spoke up with Wang Pu, raised his head, looked at Wang Pu in confusion, and saw that Wang Pu ignored him, and then looked at Ma Shihua next to him. Wang Pu had just said it, but this guy didn't understand anything.

Ma Shihua had no choice but to clear his throat and add, "Sir, are you asking you, what are your contributions, how dare you ask for an official position?"

Now the man seemed to understand, and understood it roughly, and muttered, "If you want something, you need something. Why do you want so much nonsense that ordinary people don't understand?"

At this time, the man was very close to Wang Pu. The man thought he was already whispering enough, but it fell into Wang Pu's ears. Wang Pu's face turned dark at that time, but what is his identity?

There is no need to compete with such a fool, so I can only snort coldly, turn my head aside and pretend that I didn't hear it.

The man looked at Wang Pu and said, "I said that my master had no reason to help me in vain. My family and several other palms gathered together, and in total, three carts of silver, half carts of gold, pearls, agate, and jadeite.

There are ten cars for jade, antiques, etc., by the way, my family said that I had prepared more than 20 beauties for the master. My family said that it was cold now, so let them warm the master's feet.

.”

Wang Pu listened, his heart beat violently for a few times without any effort, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, these bandits have traveled thousands of miles over the years and have really plundered a large amount of silver and money. Are gifts all used to deal with cars?

After taking several deep breaths, Wang Pu calmed down his beating heart, looked at the 'honest' man in front of him, and thought about it and asked, "You just said that you are preparing to surrender. This matter is important, I

You also need to write a memorial to support the emperor. In this way, you can briefly explain some of the situations of your rebel army so that I can understand it."

Speaking of this, the man suddenly fell on the ground and felt in pain, crying and said intermittently: "We brothers are miserable! We are all farmers, and we are all kinds of crops on weekdays, and we can make a full meal every year.

We all have to thank our ancestors for appearing. But later, there was no rain in Shaanxi for a year and the crops died of drought, but the local county officials still forced us to ask for taxes from the court.

If we farmers are a little unsuccessful, we will be beaten to death by the yamen runners. In desperation, we farmers can only sell land and children, hoping to pay the taxes owed to the court, but in the famine, we sell them.

There are so many women selling land. The gentry and men took the opportunity to lower the price, and our land could not be sold at all.

Later, all these were sold, but the taxes from the court were still not paid, so we are now, this is how we are."

Wang Pu listened carefully, unconsciously feeling compassion for the experiences of these people. However, he did not dare to question the government's governance, so he could only blame all of this on natural disasters. Otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty fall to such a level.

?

After thinking about it, the man cried and talked for a long time, but it was not what Wang Pu wanted to hear. Wang Pu wanted to hear more about the current situation of the surrounded bandits. How many days can the remaining food and grass be eaten?

Is there any internal strife?

So, Wang Pu knew that following the man could not say those things that were too profound, so he could only say bluntly: "Okay, okay, I know what you said, I want to know now that the surrender you just said was your family.

It means it is the result of discussing the other plates together.”

"Of course it was agreed upon by everyone." The man should have said as expected, and combined with his honest face, he made people unconsciously trust him. He thought that such an honest and honest person was lying?

"A few days ago, my family discussed with other palm dishes. All palm dishes realized that they had done something wrong. Some people even said that as long as he was asked to do it once, he would be willing to go back to his hometown to farm, even if he was a long-term worker and a tenant.

It’s better to be here every day.”

Wang Pu pondered and finally asked: "How much food and grass do you have now?"

The man blurted out without thinking, "We still have some food and grass now, enough to eat until next spring." When he said that, he seemed to have lost his mouth. The man quickly wanted to come back, "No, I was wrong, we

There is not much food and grass now, and many people are already hungry."

As he said that, the man secretly looked at Wang Pu, as if he was peeking at whether Wang Pu really believed his false words.

Wang Pu naturally would not be deceived by such a 'stupid person', and he thought in his heart, "The thief army still has so much food and grass now. If he keeps defending the camp, wouldn't this war end until next year?"

Not only that, but more importantly, there is not much left in our own military rations now. According to the Ming Dynasty, the army was in the guest land, and the local government provided food and grass. Therefore, the food and grass of the army under Wang Pu should be provided by Xuzhou.

However, Wang Pu knew about the situation in Xuzhou. This year, the drought was severe and the people had no harvest. Not only that, they were also patronized by bandits and robbed several times in the four fields of Xuzhou. It can be said that even if Xuzhou had the will,

Powerless.

Therefore, Wang Pu specially sent command troops to Xiangcheng, Linying, Fugou, Changge, Yanling and other places nearby to ask local officials to provide food.

Moreover, a few days have passed, and the soldiers who sent people to urge grain have not come back yet. Now I think about it, either the group of civil servants are unwilling to give it to them, or the messenger has had something unexpected happening in the middle of the journey.

If it were the second situation, it might be better, but based on Wang Pu's understanding of those civil servants, he prefers the first situation.

But in this way, the situation of the officers and soldiers suddenly became extremely dangerous. Although there are still some food and grass in the military camp now, these food and grass will be eaten sooner or later. What will he do then?

On the one hand, he took the initiative to surrender and could also harvest hundreds of thousands of silver. On the other hand, he was waiting. Perhaps the bandits were waiting for an opportunity to escape, or they were exhausted from food and grass, and eventually they were defeated. If a normal person knew how to choose.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to accept the court's pacification, and from then on, I will finally agree to the court."
