Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

This time, Qin Ming was planning to take over the entire Yan Dynasty.

However, this goal has not yet been achieved.

Chang Baishan felt that it was already quite good that these people who surrendered were willing to contribute the territories of the three cities.

But Qin Ming's appetite was obviously bigger than he thought.

"Your Majesty, I think they are very sincere."

"In addition to those fiefs, there are also seven million taels of silver."

Chang Baishan has seen a lot of money in his life.

But it is very rare for someone to give out so much for no reason and even come here to surrender voluntarily.

Qin Ming glanced at him and said earnestly:

"Do you know who the richest people in the entire dynasty are? The richest are these aristocratic families. They may have been around for dozens of generations, and each generation has accumulated enormous wealth."

"Plus, Yan Dynasty is a region rich in resources. They have occupied the rich areas for many years, so they only managed to scrape together seven million taels of silver."

"If you think this number is too much, then when you go out, don't tell others that you are my man. It's not presentable."

Qin Ming's words made Chang Baishan feel a little aggrieved.

"How would I know? Aren't we still waiting for you to come and finalize it? I haven't given them a definite answer yet. These past few days, someone has been contacting me privately, trying to raise the price, just begging you to accept them."

Now, anyone who is not a fool can basically see that Qin Ming has already seized the destiny.

There is a saying that goes, It’s nice to take shelter under a big tree.

After paying such a high price, their purpose was very simple, which was to get Qin Ming's protection.

But it was obvious that Qin Ming was not willing to give them shelter so easily.

"How about I ask them to continue ordering?"

Chang Baishan spoke tentatively, but Qin Ming slowly waved his hand.

"In this situation, if we ask for too much, it will also damage our reputation."

"Your Majesty, has your temperament changed?"

Chang Baishan was stunned. According to his guess, Qin Ming would not let them go so easily.

But judging from the tone of Qin Ming's words, is he going to give them a way out?

"Let them arrange for the troops to go to the battlefield. Make a good count of the troops in each location and have them all go to the front line."

Qin Ming's words came one after another, and Chang Baishan immediately understood what he meant.

"I see."

Soon, he and Ye Shoujiang took all the people from these aristocratic families out.

After seeing Qin Ming and Chang Baishan come up in a low voice and decide whether to stay or go.

Everyone was extremely nervous.

They pricked up their ears and listened carefully, but they couldn't hear what Qin Ming and Chang Baishan said.

Soon Chang Baishan and Ye Shoujiang informed everyone of Qin Ming's request.

"Everyone, His Majesty's request is simple. If you wish to join the military camp, you must contribute all of your troops to the next few wars. Only then can we form an alliance."

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces suddenly became a little embarrassed and hesitant.

Qin Ming’s current request is indeed very simple.

Just let them join the battle.

But one thing was outrageous, which was to let them serve as the vanguard to fight against the imperial court.

If this is the case, the number of casualties among his troops will exceed expectations!

After the war, their power will surely plummet.

Everyone understands a simple truth.

If you have an army, you will never have to worry about money.

But if you only have silver but no troops, then the silver is not yours.

It may be taken away by others at any time and anywhere.

Qin Ming's move is to make them lose the power to protect themselves.

There is even a high probability that they will be robbed later.

"Can we leave some troops behind for ourselves?"

"It's a chaotic situation right now, we need some manpower to help with the emergency!"

Now everyone started to make excuses.

But Ye Shoujiang seemed to have already expected that they would say this.

He sneered directly and said without showing any mercy:

"Everyone, who said you can't leave your troops behind? After this battle, your troops won't go directly into our camp. They will return to your hands."

"Or... do you think that after a few battles, all your soldiers will be wiped out?"

"Daqian's troops fought hundreds of battles to get here. Just letting you all get shelter at the airport where you participated in the war, that's not much, right?"

After these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

They certainly didn't participate in many battles.

Qin Ming is about to end the battle, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to show his ability.

It is very likely that they will be purged directly after Qin Ming seizes the throne.

Daqian has fought hundreds of battles and has never been afraid. They just participated in the airport battle. It would be really unreasonable if they were to look for another opportunity.

He doesn't put in any effort, but still wants to take advantage.

There is nothing so good in the world.

"Those who agree can stay and discuss the battle plan together. Those who disagree can leave now."

After Chang Baishan and Ye Shoujiang looked at each other, they directly issued a final ultimatum to them.

Suddenly, some people did not want to lose their troops and chose to leave.

However, after leaving, the situation they faced was also grim.

Having defected to Qin Ming, they could not return to the imperial court this time.

He could only flee to another place with his family and valuables.

In the end, there were less than half of the people left at the scene. After looking at their number, Chang Baishan and Ye Shoujiang were not surprised.

"It seems that everyone has agreed to join the war. In this case, we are all comrades. Please come with us."

They entered the general's tent in the military camp together and reported the news to Qin Ming.

Looking at the remaining people present.

Qin Ming asked someone to count the number of troops they had.

New war arrangements were subsequently made.

The situation is already going in their favor, and many people in Qingdao feel that the war is about to be won.

But at this time.

Suddenly, a piece of news came from outside the military camp.

"Your Majesty, the Yan Dynasty has sent someone to deliver a letter. They seem to want to negotiate with you."

"Ok?"

After this news was delivered to the tent, everyone present fell silent instantly.

They all turned to look at Qin Ming.

This is a big deal.

Whether or not there is peace talks will determine the direction of the war and the extent of their losses.

Qin Ming frowned and said:

"At this point, why are you still making conditions with Tan and the others?"

"I don't know, but I heard that Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping will be coming over in the next few days."

"Who are these two people?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised. He had never heard of the names Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping, but the nobles present all gasped when they heard the names of these two people.

"Your Majesty, these two are from the General Affairs Department and the Land Affairs Department, and they have absolute say!"

Wu Tianxing and Yun Wenxun immediately came to Qin Ming and explained to him the identities of the two men.

After a brief understanding, Qin Ming fell silent.

"Everyone, what do you think?"
