After capturing the outer city wall, the Ming army did not immediately attack the capital city wall, and still needed to do some preparatory work.

For example, troops need to rest, and siege equipment needs to be repaired and built.

During the preparation period, Wu Changqing also sent messengers to Nanjing.

It was Fang Qihe, who had two tasks this time, one to persuade him to surrender. If the persuasion to surrender is unsuccessful, then discuss the issue of Mandahai's ransom.

Wu Changqing is now under a lot of pressure to raise the army, and he will make a fortune when he has the opportunity.

As for whether Hong Chengchou and the others would force the big households in the city to pay, this Wu Changqing couldn't control it. Anyway, after he captured Nanjing, it was inconvenient for him to take it by force, so it was just right for Hong Chengchou to do it now.

Hong Chengchou is notorious for his back, the money belongs to himself, and it is beautiful.

As for Man Dahai, if they liked Wu Changqing, they would return it to them, and they didn't feel bad at all.

Seeing Fang Qihe's arrival, Hong Chengchou and Bo Luo both gritted their teeth, wishing to slaughter Fang Qihe with one knife.

However, slaughtering Fang Qihe has no other benefits besides being able to vent his anger. Fang Qihe is a weak scholar and does not participate in the siege.

"Governor Hong, General Boluo, you have been doing well recently."

Fang Qihe said something poignant, and both Hong Chengchou and Bo Luo were displeased. Even the outer city wall was lost, how could it be possible to live well, this greeting is clearly mocking.

"I don't know why the envoy Fang came this time?" Hong Chengchou asked.

"Naturally, it is to save the lives of the governor and the general, and to win a share of future glory and wealth for the two of you. Don't the two adults still see the current situation clearly? You really think that you can defend against this high wall. Can it survive?"

Fang Qihe sneered.

Hong Chengchou was speechless, and the co-author was originally here to persuade him to surrender.

He felt a little awkward. Since entering the customs, he has always sent people to persuade others to surrender, but he did not expect the situation to change so quickly, and now it is the turn of others to persuade himself to surrender.

"Speaking madly, the Nanjing city wall is as high as four or five feet. He Wu Changqing has the ability to break through the city wall. If you want me to tell you, you should go back and persuade your generals, not to go against the general trend of the world. Wait for my department. The army of the north is heading south again, and your general will be in danger.

If your general can surrender now, based on his talent, I can recommend him to my Zhenglan Banner, and at least have a Baylor title. If you make further contributions in the future, it is not impossible to seal the king. "

Boluo in turn persuaded Fang Qihe, and the conditions he gave were quite generous. That is a prince, and it is impossible for non-Manchu people to give it, but now Bo Luo has made such a promise.

The more generous the conditions he gave, the more it proved his fear of Wu Changqing.

Fang Qihe didn't listen to this condition at all.

It's just a Baylor. You must know that Wu Changqing is now the prince of the state in Nanming, and he is about equal to Baylor in terms of titles. And as long as Nanjing is won, it is 100% a matter of different surnames Wang.

Since you can be the prince of the Han people, why do you need to be the prince of the Qing Dynasty?

What's more, Fang Qihe, as Wu Changqing's side clerk, actually knew Wu Changqing fairly well. He had already seen that Wu Changqing had great ambitions, and he did not take the imperial court in his eyes at all.

In other words, the throne is a joke in Wu Changqing's eyes, and what they want is the throne.

Surrender to the Manchus is absolutely impossible.

"General Boluo don't need to get excited. Time will tell who is ranting. Since the two have no heart to surrender, our generals will never be hard on others. Anyway, no matter what opponents they are, they are all ants in the eyes of my generals.

Next, let's talk about Man Dahai. My generals have always been kind-hearted and broad-minded. For the sake of Man Dahai Sixiang, he agreed to put him back in Nanjing. However, he stayed with us for a day or two and ate a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so..."

Fang Qihe's words almost made Bo Luo jump. The previous Azige had already made him ruthlessly disgusted, and now there is another Mandahai. It really seems that there are golden mountains and silver mountains in Nanjing.

Moreover, the reasons for each use are so perfunctory, why do you eat a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, is this a reason?

"Hmph, Man Dahai, as a Manchu warrior, should die in battle. He still has the face to come back? You go and tell him and let him punish himself. We have no money to redeem him."

Boluo said angrily.

Give money to Wu Changqing, and Wu Changqing can expand his army and strengthen his strength. He regretted doing this kind of thing once, and he would never do it again.

"This... well, if the general is not too troublesome, it's best to write a letter and pass it on to me. After all, he may not believe it when I say it orally."

Fang Qihe looked very Buddha-nature, and he didn't care that he failed to surrender, and he didn't care that he didn't get the ransom.

Bo Luo was about to start writing when Hong Chengchou said, "The letter is unnecessary, and General Man Dahai will definitely not doubt it."

Hong Chengchou saw through Fang Qihe's tricks. If Bo Luo wrote a letter in his own hand, asking Man Dahai to commit suicide and apologize, it would inevitably make Man Dahai feel chilled.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, and if you lose, you must apologize with death, which is of course unreasonable.

The more important point is that they spent a lot of money to redeem Azige who lost the battle last time, but now they want Man Dahai to apologize with his death. Can Man Dahai have no resentment in his heart?

If such resentment arises, the possibility of Mandahai surrendering to the Ming army will increase several times.

Therefore, this kind of letter must not be written. Fang Qihe went back and said that there was no evidence, and Man Dahai might not believe it, but if Boluo wrote a handwritten letter, then Man Dahai would not believe it.

I have to believe it.

"Well, it's always better to have a letter. General Boluo is also a brother to him. Don't you have something to say to him before he dies?"

Fang Qihe said unwillingly.

Unfortunately, Bo Luo was already alert at this time, and he knew that Hong Chengchou would not stop himself from writing letters for no reason. Since Hong Chengchou did this, it must have his deep meaning.

"Forget it, I have nothing to say with him. The defeated general will end like this. If General Wu is really kind, he can be brought back, and I will also remember General Wu's kindness."

Boluo said that he has not given up his fantasy, but he wanted it for nothing.

"Since this is the case, then I will leave now. Our army will choose a day for the general attack. If the two adults regret before our army's general attack, they can send someone to contact them. Hurry up, miss these few days and wait until the city is broken before surrendering. , the treatment you get is incomparable to what you are getting now.”

Fang Qihe's arrogant appearance really made Bo Luo angry.

I haven't been able to fight this battle yet, so why do you look like you must win.

There is still a high wall on my side, no matter how you look at it, it is not a special disadvantage.

Fortunately, Boluo also knew that he didn't need to compare himself with a scholar with no grades or grades, it was too cheap.
