Even Xu Yingxu stood aside with a frown on his face and kept winking at Xu Miaoqing, but the latter ignored him at all.
"I am a supervisor appointed by the imperial court. Would I joke about this kind of thing?" Zhu Gui said seriously.
When everyone present heard Zhu Gui's words, their expressions suddenly changed.
When they saw that Zhu Gui was young, they thought he was just telling nonsense.
Seeing that Zhu Gui had calmed down the situation, Zhu Lai said unwillingly: "What a supervisor, Zhu Gui. I will report this matter to the court truthfully. Just wait for the military law to deal with it, and let's go."
Zhu Kai snorted coldly and left with the generals from Ganzhou City.
Only Xu Yingxu, the guards from Datong Mansion and the Yunzhou Army were left around.
They looked at Zhu Gui with admiration mixed with excitement and fanaticism.
Zhu Gui was not as angry as Zhu Mei's rudeness.
Now he can somewhat understand why the dignified King Su suffered so many defeats in a row.
Xu Yingxu wanted to speak, but Zhu Gui took the lead and said, "If anything happens, let's go to your tent and talk to him. It's been a long time since we had a good meal."
"That's right, brother, you have to get us some delicious food. There is nothing fun except fighting the Mongols along the way." Xu Miaoqing also complained.
The corner of Xu Yingxu's mouth twitched a few times, but he ordered everyone to continue patrolling the city wall. Then he took Zhu Gui, Xu Miaoqing and more than 60 soldiers back to the military camp.
Along the way, Zhu Gui also learned from Xu Yingxu that less than half of the 3,000 cavalry he brought this time were left, and only 200 of the newly formed 1,000 Yunzhou Army were left.
.
This made Xu Yingxu a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who brought the person out.
Zhu Gui was a little emotional, but didn't say anything. After all, the Yunzhou Army was a new army, and most of them were salt traders. He also knew their character of risking their lives in war.
Originally, he recruited them for this reason, but now it seems that this desperate character sometimes suffers.
After settling in the camp, Zhu Gui told Xu Yingxu the agreement he had reached with the Mongols.
In fact, this method of exchanging trade for peace is similar to the situation in Datong Prefecture, except that the Mongols here in Ganzhou are more proactive.
"King Dai, I know you have good intentions, but without the consent of Prince Su and the court, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement this agreement."
Xu Yingxu thought over and over again and expressed his considerations.
Zhu Gui nodded: "You are right. I will send someone to send a memorial to the court tomorrow, and then find an opportunity to discuss it with King Su. However, you have also seen his attitude towards me today, and I am not too optimistic about it."
Great hope.”
"But I have also prepared for the worst, that is, if the court does not allow this trade agreement, I will persuade these Mongolians to migrate towards Datong Prefecture."
"What? Zhu Gui, are you crazy? If the imperial court does not agree with what is happening in Ganzhou, then even if you move these Mongols to Datong Prefecture, the problem will not be solved. The imperial court will still not agree. What do you mean?
Set yourself on fire."
Xu Miaoqing stood up and said seriously.
Xu Yingxu also nodded and said: "The princess is right, and there is a very crucial point. The Mongols may not agree to the migration, and even if they agree, whether they can get along harmoniously with the Mongols outside Datong is still a question.
"
Seeing that both of them expressed different opinions on their own ideas, Zhu Gui was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "There is a difference between Ganzhou and Yunzhou. King Su behaved very well in front of the emperor.
As for him, he doesn’t dare to have the slightest idea about Ming law.”
"But don't forget that the emperor has been having a headache for me for a long time. Didn't the emperor say nothing about the previous salt tax and tax issues? And even if he punishes me, it will only be a fine at most. There is nothing else at the moment.
Someone can succeed me in managing Yunzhou."
It turned out that Zhu Gui had already thought deeply about this issue. Since his impression of Zhu Yuanzhang was already negative, he didn't mind making the situation worse.
However, this speed must be grasped, otherwise once he loses his temper, it is still possible to replace him as the vassal king, but there is currently no more suitable candidate.
Not to mention that the birthdays of the prince and the emperor are approaching, so it would be a happy thing for everyone to end this war before then.
Xu Miaoqing curled her lips and didn't say anything this time, but her face showed an expression of 'I'm angry but I'm sorry for my misfortune'.
Xu Yingxu shook his head and said nothing more.
On the second day, Zhu Gui sent someone to deliver a memorial to Nanjing. He was about to go to Prince Su's Mansion to explain the current situation to Zhu Lai. He didn't want the guards to report, but Prince Su came to visit him personally.
Zhu Gui was a little surprised, but still went out to greet him.
This time Zhu Gai only brought two generals, and his demeanor seemed a little unusual.
As soon as the two of them sat down after their respective priorities, Zhu Kai asked eagerly: "Zhu Gui, what did you talk to the Mongols yesterday? Did they agree to give up the occupied border town?"
Zhu Gui was quite surprised, but still said: "If the trade agreement reaches a big city, the Mongols will return to their original boundaries. In the future, as long as the food trade can ensure the Mongols survive the famine, they will not invade the border again."
Zhu Gai's face became even more anxious: "I understand what you said, but Ganzhou is not rich to begin with, so why trade with the Mongols? And my father will not agree to it. This is not a big deal for the court.
A glorious thing."
"It turns out that King Su is worried about this. As for trade, I have some countermeasures. Yunzhou can start trade with Ganzhou. As for the court, I also hope that King Su can write a letter to mediate."
Zhu Gui cupped his hands and said.
"Can Yunzhou provide sufficient trade? There are hundreds of thousands of Mongolians. It is not easy to feed them. Moreover, Ganzhou is also one of the disaster areas. There are still many Han people who do not have enough to eat. How can we favor one over the other?"
The surprise on Zhu Kai's face turned into dissatisfaction.
Zhu Gui didn't understand that the other party was seeking benefits.
Fortunately, he had already thought of this.
"Brother Wang, I have also seen the difficulties in Ganzhou, and I am naturally responsible for the sufferings of the Han people. Let's do this. As long as Brother Wang can agree to two things, I will discount future trade.
I will give it to Prince Su’s Mansion, and I will also bear the responsibility for the victims of the disaster in Ganzhou.”
Zhu Gui said with great sincerity.
"10%?" Zhu Kai's expression changed several times, as if he was considering how much benefit he could get.
He glanced at the two generals behind him. They were also confused, which made him regret not bringing a civil servant who was good at calculation.
