Chapter 54: Soft and Hard

"Master Yue, your conditions are a bit too harsh. My Jurchen tribe is a nomadic people, a people who live on horseback. All gold, silver and territory can be given away, but this horse... once left, my Jurchen people are afraid

There are many ways to survive. Master Yue, I hope you can reconsider." Huang Taiji said after hearing Yue Su's conditions.

"There is nothing to reconsider. You Jurchens invaded my territory, plundered my people, and killed many people. It is right to return them all now. The land, people, and wealth are ours. The reason why we have to bring horses is

Because your Jurchens are poor, you use these horses as compensation for my Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, you have to kill people to pay back your debts and pay back money. You have killed so many people in my Ming Dynasty, and you don’t want to pay for your lives, and you don’t want to compensate. How can it be so cheap in this world?

King Khan, if you are not willing, then there is no need to continue this negotiation. Our army will wait for the Khan's warriors in Yunyang and Hanzhong to see if they can break through and leave. If the Khan leaves over the mountains,

"Actually, that's good, but I have to leave all your horses to me, and then we can fight again to see who wins, and we all have our destiny." Yue Su said with a smile.

"Master Yue, you are joking again. Since I have come to negotiate today, my attitude is naturally to hope for peace and to depose the swordsmen. If we really want to fight, I still have 150,000 to 60,000 Jurchen soldiers. Although Hanzhong is a high city

The wall is thick, but if our Jurchen warriors fight to the death, they may not be able to pass. Moreover, we still have tens of thousands of Ming people in our Jurchen hands. If we use the lives of these people to fill it, it is estimated that their corpses can also fill the wall.

. But I didn’t do that. I really hope that our two countries can stop fighting and turn the hostility into friendship.” Huang Taiji said shamelessly.

"I think it's not me who can joke, but King Khan who can joke. If King Khan could really break through Hanzhong, he wouldn't come here to negotiate with me. Seeing that you are already desperate, King Khan made this move.

Otherwise, even if there is a chance of survival, you will not come to me. King Khan, do you think so?" After Yue Su finished speaking, he smiled at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji said without making a move: "Master Yue, seeing you speak like this, you probably think that my Jurchen has no fighting power and is begging Master Yue for peace. If this is the case, I think there is no need for us to continue talking.

As the saying goes, if the two countries are at war without killing the envoy, I wonder if Mr. Yue will let me, the envoy, leave."

"King Khan's words are serious. Today it is King Khan who has taken the initiative to come to negotiate. If he wants to leave, there is no problem. I will never stop him. Come on, let's see you off." After Yue Su finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal.

His subordinates sent Huang Taiji away.

Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and others never expected that Sir would be like this. They thought that Huang Taiji would come back, but Yue Su sent him away so easily. Jin Chan quickly said: "Sir..."

"King Khan has taken the initiative to negotiate peace today. How can we show the majesty of our Ming Dynasty by taking him now? If you are serious about it, you can take it in front of the two armies. Only then can you show your ability. Okay, there is no need to say more.

"Send King Khan out of the city." Yue Su said decisively.

"Yes, sir."

After hearing this, Jin Chan and Tie Qiu also felt that it was good. They were people in the world and would never take advantage of others' danger. Moreover, the adults said so, so they were let go.

At that moment, Jin Chan came to Huang Taiji, clasped his fists and said, "King Khan, please."

"Thank you." Huang Taiji stood up, gave Yue Su a fist, then turned and left.

Today, Huang Taiji's entry into the city has already caused a sensation in Yunyang. The civil and military officials and people in the city have all known about it, and they don't know what the result will be. But one thing is clear to everyone. Huang Taiji's arrival will definitely come back. In fact, even Huang Taiji himself

, I thought so too.

Huang Taiji was escorted by Jin Chan out of the camp. Outside the camp, the prefect of Yunyang, the city guard deputy general, and Qin Liangyu all came over to inquire about the news. When he saw Huang Taiji coming out, although he didn't know his identity, he looked at his clothes.

You can also make a rough guess.

Qin Liangyu recognized Jin Chan and said quickly: "Jin Chan, is this person Huang Taiji?"

"General, it's Huang Taiji." Jin Chan replied.

"Where are you taking him?" Qin Liangyu asked again.

"On your orders, I send Huang Taiji out of the city," Jin Chan said.

"This, how is this possible..." Qin Liangyu shouted: "Jin Chan, you wait here, don't take Huang Taiji out of the city yet, I'll go in and see the commander."

Jin Chan nodded and said, "Yes, General."

Qin Liangyu ignored Jin Chan and immediately ran to the camp. Despite his age, he still walked vigorously. The prefect of Yunyang also knew that the matter was very important and told the deputy general who was guarding the city to keep an eye on him. He ran in behind him and asked questions.

Ask Mr. Yue what is going on.

Qin Liangyu and the Yunyang magistrate entered the lobby, and when they saw Yue Su still sitting in the middle, they quickly bowed and saluted, "General Qin Liangyu is here to see the commander-in-chief." "I'm here to see you, sir."

"Forgive me, I wonder why you two came to my place in a hurry?" Yue Su said calmly.

"Commander, the reason why we are here at the end is naturally because of Huang Taiji's affairs. Since the enemy chief is here, why does the commander let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"Yes, sir. Huang Taiji is the culprit. Now that he is here, we can't let him go again." Yunyang Magistrate also said quickly.

"General Qin, Mr. Liu, as the saying goes, the two countries are at war without killing the envoys. Huang Taiji came as an envoy to seek peace. Even if an agreement was not reached, there was no reason to force him to stay. Furthermore, since Huang Taiji had the courage to personally

At this point, I think I have been prepared to die. What happened behind my back has been explained. There is also a new commander in the enemy camp. If I kill Huang Taiji now or detain him, at most I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

, for the court itself, there is no benefit. But for the Tatars, on the contrary, our move will arouse their hatred of the same enemy. As the saying goes, the soldiers will win if they mourn, the morale of the Tatars will be greatly boosted, and they will fight to the death, Yunyang

We are here, and although we are sure to hold it, I really can't guarantee it in Hanzhong." Yue Su said earnestly.

"Well..." After hearing this, Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is right. The Tatars have now become a turtle in the urn, and they will be destroyed sooner or later. Even if they take Huang Taiji now, they probably won't be able to blackmail the Tatars. Instead, they will provoke the Tatars."

In order to arouse their hatred of the same enemy, let’s temporarily let the culprit live a little longer.”

The prefect of Yunyang also echoed, "Your Excellency is wise, but your lower officials are superficial."

"Okay, no need to say more, you all go down and do whatever you need to do." Yue Su waved his hand to see off the guests.

"I will retire." "I will retire."

Qin Liangyu and the Yunyang magistrate retreated and walked out of the camp. They just gave Huang Taiji a fierce look and left. The matter was already obvious. Jin Chan then escorted Huang Taiji to the city gate and asked people to bring Sony and others.

The guards opened the city gate and asked them to leave.

Huang Taiji never dreamed that Yue Su would really let him go. At first, he thought he was going to make some mystery again, but the city gate had opened and everything was true. Huang Taiji stood at the city gate, pondered for a moment, and turned around.

He turned around and said to Jin Chan: "Take me back, I want to see Lord Yue."

"I wonder if there is anything else that King Khan has going on?" Jin Chan asked.

"You don't need to ask more about this," Huang Taiji said.

"Okay. Close the city gate. King Khan, please come with me."

After Jin Chan finished speaking, he asked people to detain Sony and others, and escorted Huang Taiji to Yue Su's cabin alone. After announcing at the gate of the cabin, Yue Su rushed out in person. When he saw Huang Taiji, he raised his hands and said: "

I don’t know why King Khan left and came back. I am late to welcome you, so I kept King Khan waiting for a long time. Please forgive me."

"Huang Taiji admires Master Yue for his foresight and foresight in the name of benevolence and righteousness. He left and returned this time for no other reason than to discuss peace. As your Excellency said, we will not abandon our horses now. We will cross the mountains and ridges by then.

We still have to give up the horses. Well, we Jurchens recognize this, but I don’t know if Mr. Yue can really guarantee that after we hand over the horses, he will let us live and let us out of the confinement?" Huang Taiji said bluntly.

"Yue Mou always sticks to his word, and what he says will naturally count. However, King Khan must also remember that this matter cannot be ended by simply handing over the horses. You also have to temporarily act as hostages, and the generals outside the pass will control Liaodong.

All our land will be returned, no matter how many properties were robbed of our Ming Dynasty, and how many people were robbed of our Ming Dynasty, they must all be returned." Yue Su said in a deep voice.

"Ha... At this moment, you can still allow me to say no. Moreover, I have already approved the return of the land, property and people." Huang Taiji said.

"That's good. I, Yue Su, have always been fair in doing things. I just make empty promises and let's take the words as evidence. After the contract is signed, King Khan will go back and prepare to hand over." Yue Su said.

"good."

At that moment, Yue Su led Huang Taiji back into the lobby. The two parties drew up a contract according to the agreed content, and then signed and deposited it. Afterwards, Yue Su sent Jin Chan to escort Huang Taiji out of the city, and sent five thousand soldiers to accompany him to take over the Tatar Empire.

Son's horses.

Before leaving, Young Master Yue Su had to explain something to Jin Chan. The content was very simple, how to receive it.

After giving the instructions, Jin Chan left Yunyang with Huang Taiji with his troops and horses, heading for Jinzhou, talking all the way to Jinzhou.

When Huang Taiji came back, the Jurchen generals and the Mongolian princes naturally went out of the city to greet them. When they saw the Ming army coming with them, they could not help but glare at the leader Jin Chan. However, everyone was wondering about the outcome of the negotiation and what would happen in the end.

Huang Taiji asked Jin Chan to camp outside the city, while he returned to the city to discuss matters. This time, it was not just an internal Jurchen meeting, but even the Mongolian commanders were invited to have a meeting together. The content of the meeting was very simple.

It is to tell everyone the result of the negotiation. This result is still acceptable to the Mongols, because they only lost some horses, and the people can go home safely. When the Jurchens return the land to the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia can continue

Trade with the Ming Dynasty. But for the Jurchens, although it was impossible to accept it, there seemed to be no other way. The Ming army had a sure chance of victory. If not, not only death would be waiting for them, but Liaodong would also be protected, and there would be no way

If you are good, you will be exterminated. But there is no choice but to admit it.

After Huang Taiji finished talking about the results of the negotiation, there was a cries of crows in the conference hall, and everyone lowered their heads. Seeing everyone's dejected look, Huang Taiji shook his head and smiled, and said: "Everyone, go down and have a rest. Tell the people below,

Let them pack their bags and start delivering horses tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone said energetically.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji could be said to be the most depressed person. He lay in bed at night and could not fall asleep for a long time.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"When, when, when..."

"Huang Taiji said."

"Your Majesty, it's Prince Rui who wants to see you." The voice of a personal guard sounded at the door.

"It turns out to be Dorgon. Invite him in." After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he got up and got dressed. At the same time, he was still wondering why Dorgon came here.

Soon, the door opened, and Dorgon walked in, came to the opposite side of Huang Taiji, bowed and saluted, "My brother, I see you, Your Majesty."

"Forgive me. Dorgon, why do you come to see me so late?" Huang Taiji said.

"When I return to the emperor, I can't sleep tonight. I feel deeply sorry for the death of Ama and the emperor. Seeing the country that Ama has conquered, I want to hand it over to the Ming Dynasty. I am really unwilling to do so. Finally, I came up with a plan.

I don’t know if this idea is feasible, but I would like to discuss it with the emperor." Dorgon said sincerely.

"I am not willing to give up Ama's country to the Ming Dynasty. Dorgon, do you have any good ideas that can turn the crisis into safety? Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you can try it." Huang Taiji said.

"When the Emperor Bai Li held a meeting, he said that the horses should be handed over to the Ming army generals who came back with the Emperor. My younger brother was thinking, we have more than 100,000 horses in total. Even if we let them transport them back, the horses will not enter the city.
