【Chapter 709】Can't beat, only negotiation

To be honest, this time Kong Youde and Liu Xingzhi and the others came back to find Xu Xingxia with Mao Wenlong, relying on the courage of the young man and the spirit of being a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. It is incorrect to say how much they really admire the White Army. In their hearts, they are actually a little doubtful. Is the White Army really that powerful? Do they really have the ability to kill the Tartars? What if they encounter a large number of Jianlu?

Even in the battle of Mulan Club, they did not fully understand their doubts. Because they did not witness the battle process of Mulan Club with their own eyes. And they were somewhat doubtful about the battles they had not witnessed. Who knows if there was any element of show here? The Ming army in the past also liked to show off, making themselves seem to be the best in the world and invincible in the world. As a result, once they really went to the battlefield, they would show their true colors.

However, after this battle, they no longer had any doubts about the White Army. Because they not only witnessed the White Army's battle, but also personally experienced the White Army's fighting style. Several of the brutal Jianlu were at their guns. There was no more real existence in the world than this.

While Mao Wenlong was getting the experience of the Han-style rifle, the other Ming troops also got the experience of the Han-style rifle. Each of them fired at least twenty rounds and deeply appreciated the power of the Han-style rifle. Their feelings were actually the same as Mao Wenlong, that is, from then on, they no longer need to be afraid of Jianlu. No matter how cruel Jianlu was, as long as they had the Han-style rifle in hand, they would be a scum! Even the scum is not as good as!

Now, the only question is when the White Army will accept them. This is really a fatal question. Judging from Xu Xingxia's attitude, it seems that there is no intention to incorporate them. The White Army and the Ming Army used to have two systems, so it is no wonder that Xu Xingxia refused. If they could not join the White Army, they would definitely not be able to equip the Han-style rifles.

"Sir, we..." Mao Wenlong asked this question uneasy.

"Want to join our White Army?" Xu Xingxia said with a smile.

"Yes..." Mao Wenlong honestly agreed.

"This year is not available for the time being, wait for next year. Before the rifle is officially finalized and produced, only the hunting cavalry can be equipped. Starting next year, the Han-style rifles will be equipped with a large number of troops of the White-Clothed Army. At that time, your opportunity will come. Next year, I will send someone to assess you. As long as you pass the assessment, you will be a member of the White-Clothed Army." Xu Xingxia did not conceal Mao Wenlong's intention and said bluntly.

"That's good, it's good." Mao Wenlong and others were relieved.

Waiting for a while is certainly not a problem. As long as you have the opportunity to join the White Army, it’s fine.

They have begun to be full of longing. Next year, they will be able to put on the uniforms of the white army, equip the Han-style rifles, and chase Jianlu everywhere. They are all secretly telling themselves, Jianlu, you are arrogant now, I will deal with you again next year!

"Master Beile, our attack... should be a little slowed down..." Bai Keming stood beside Amin and reminded Amin tactfully. In fact, he wanted to tell Amin that our attack had failed. The five Niulu Jin troops originally under the jurisdiction of Ruge were almost completely lost. If we continue to entangle, the price paid by the Lanqian would be too heavy. Even if we were to make a show for others to watch, there was no need to pay such a heavy price.

The Yangguan Fort is simply a bottomless pit. The muskets of the White-Clothed Army are indeed a little too powerful. Several Niulu's Great Jin army were crippled like this. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe that all this was true. The originally powerful Big Jin army warriors were even more fragile than the ants on the ground in front of the White-Clothed Army's muskets. If the Blue Flag paid the price of five Niulu, they could almost destroy tens of thousands of Ming troops.

Since the seven major hatreds were released and the army was launched to attack the Ming Dynasty, the army's troops lost not much of the troops. The army's troops in the battles all the way south and north, and the entire losses of the army's blue flag were probably only two Niulu. However, the contact between the army's blue flag and the white army had already lost at least seven Niulu in less than half a month. If the loss continued at this rate, the army's blue flag would be completely destroyed in less than half a year.

Faced with such heavy losses, even Amin, even arrogant, had to temporarily lower his high head. His heart was very bitter. He really didn't expect that the white army was so powerful. Obviously, it was not feasible to continue to attack with force. Xu Xingxia, the cunning guy, obviously set up a trap here and waited for him to fall.

Unless Amin is willing to destroy all the troops of the Inlaid Blue Flag here. However, if the entire Inlaid Blue Flag is gone, Amin will be finished. His only capital to fight against Nurhaci is the Inlaid Blue Flag.

Amin frowned and said, "What are some good suggestions do you have?"

Bai Keming said bitterly: "It is better to go through other piaotianyi networks!"

Amin's brow frowned even more. His mood was indeed quite unhappy. The other means mentioned by Bai Keming were nothing more than negotiations, giving ransoms, and using money to redeem Babuhai. Or, release the captured hostages and exchange Sibuhai back. Both are common ways of changing back hostages by ethnic minorities.

However, Amin was unwilling to negotiate with Xu Xingxia, but he was afraid that the other party would speak loudly and ask for a price all over the place. God knows what kind of price the White Army would offer. If the White Army offered too high, the negotiation would have no meaning at all. Sibuhai was worth up to 300,000 taels of silver. If more ransom was needed, I was afraid that even if Nurhaci came, he would consider taking other measures.

Unfortunately, the White Army should have known Si Buhai's identity for a long time, otherwise they would not have gone directly to Mulan. Therefore, they would definitely drive the ransom to death. Here, Amin and Bai Keming were both wrong. In fact, the White Army really caught Si Buhai by chance. But Xu Xingxia would not let go of such a big fish in his hand. How could such a good bargaining chip be used well?

As for the exchange of hostages, Amin had no hostages from the White Army. The Jin army captured quite a few Ming troops. If the Ming army was used for exchange, it would probably not meet Xu Xingxia's requirements. Because the White Army and the Ming army were not all the same. Maybe the more Ming troops the Jin army captured, the happier the White Army would be.
