"What do you mean is to let the people among me talk to the court?" Xu Huizu looked at Wan Lei in confusion. He didn't think that Wan Lei spent so much effort to get him to Peking just for such a goal.
"Mr. Xu, you misunderstood what I mean. You are now on the court's wanted list. I can't send you back, that's no different from sending death. Moreover, the court is best at ease and cannot negotiate peace with us, even if it's
We asked for it on our own initiative, and we also put our hot faces on the cold butt." Wan Lei smiled indifferently.
"Then what are your intentions?" Xu Huizu was even more confused, with a hint of anger in his tone. Of course, he knew that the reason why he fell to this point was the frame-up of the person in front of him. Now he can't even wash his eyes by jumping to the Yellow River.
In Qing Dynasty, even the reputation of the entire family was destroyed.
"My request is not excessive. I just want to ask Mr. Xu to sign in a ceasefire statement. This ceasefire statement is not sent to the Ming court, but to the people of the whole world. We Peking soldiers say slightly
It is hard to win the trust of the people. In order to show that we have no intention of traitors and feet, we have to borrow your name, Mr. Wang." Wan Lei said sincerely.
Of course, Wan Lei's move is also selfish, because once Xu Huizu signed in the ceasefire statement, he would confirm the title of "traitor". Even if he doesn't want to hang out with the Peking army, he will not be able to cleanse the reputation of this "traitor" in the future.
It's right.
Xu Huizu was not a fool either. He could see Wan Lei’s little abacus at first sight and said seriously: “Why should I help you?”
"Because this ceasefire statement is good for the Ming Dynasty, I will declare that I will not use troops to the Ming Dynasty within three years. Of course, if the Ming Dynasty first uses troops to our Beiping army, then I will no longer blame myself for counterattacking.
Mr. Xu, you are a wise man. You know that the most urgent thing the court needs now is to recuperate."
Wan Lei paused, and saw that Xu Huizu's face was a little hesitant, and said, "As for whether you sign or not, I won't force you. You don't have to look for a shortcoming. If you think living in Peiping City is a detriment to your reputation, we can send you.
Let’s go anywhere except Middle Earth.”
"Why can't we return to the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Qin, who had been silent, asked angrily.
"The Ming Dynasty can no longer tolerate you. What's the difference between sending you back or not and sending you to death? Since you come to my Beiping City, I will not watch you die. If you refuse to cooperate with me, it doesn't matter.
I will arrange for someone to send you overseas. But I would like to remind you in advance that going to sea is easy, but returning is difficult. Once you choose to go to sea, you may not be able to return to your hometown forever."
"Where is the armistice statement? Let's take a look with me first." Xu Huizu frowned. Obviously, he had a choice in his heart. In fact, there are not many ways for him to choose. If he cooperates, he can stay in Middle-earth. If he doesn't cooperate, then that
Just traveling abroad, he said to him, who was relocated to the land, what other choice is there?
If the Xu family had only two fathers and sons, it would be fine, but there were more than a dozen people in the family. Xu Huizu could not make up this cruelty even if he had to accompany so many families to travel abroad and live a life of unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.
Seeing that Xu Huizu compromised, Wan Lei took out a pre-written document from the pile of documents and handed it to Xu Huizu. The document was written in vernacular, and the main content was to avoid the suffering of the people from the military disaster. The Peking Army promised three times.
He will not take the initiative to use troops against the Ming Dynasty within the year.
After reading the document, Xu Huizu frowned and said, "This is not a peace talk, the Ming court will not accept this statement."
"Yes, this is not a peace talk. This is sent to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to admit it. If the Ming court took the lead in using troops against our Beiping army, it would be to provoke a war on its own initiative, which is to be unrighteous. The eyes of the people are bright and lit. Yes, I believe no one is willing to join this unjust war." Wan Lei smiled indifferently.
Wan Lei would not foolishly send envoys to negotiate peace with the Ming court, because with the Ming Dynasty's timid temper, peace talks cannot be successful. Maybe the envoys sent will be killed by the Ming Dynasty. Wan Lei would not do anything to bring shame to himself.
It is different to issue a ceasefire statement. Once this statement was issued, although the Beiping army lost the opportunity to lead the people, it occupied the moral high point. If Emperor Jianwen openly sent troops to attack the Beiping army, it would be to provoke the war. This is very unpopular in the war criminal.
Moreover, the validity period of this statement is three years. Even if the Ming Dynasty was calm and kept silent within these three years, Wan Lei had some means to make the Ming Dynasty fight first and then lose his heart.
Xu Huizu looked at the ceasefire statement again, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "It's okay to ask me for an autograph, but I want you to have a golden promise."
"As long as I can do something, it's okay."
"If you compete in the Central Plains in the future, I hope you will be open to the emperor of the dynasty." Xu Huizu said seriously. He has been in Peking for more than ten days and saw with his own eyes that the prosperity of Peking City is no less than that of Jinling. If the two strong people compete in the future, The Ming Dynasty had no good generals, so he was afraid he could not defeat him, so he wanted to leave a way out for Emperor Jianwen.
"The key to whether you can open your own side is not me, but the emperor himself. I can only guarantee that I will try not to hurt his life." Wan Lei said, in fact, he really cannot guarantee the completeness of Emperor Jianwen because he is under his command. Many people have deep hatred for Zhu Ming, and these people want to kill all the Zhu Ming royal family.
Xu Huizu frowned, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and finally scooped up the pen and signed his name on the armistice statement. Wan Lei took the statement and asked the people below to scoop and engrave them, and printed thousands of them. Tens of thousands of copies were taken to the Ming Dynasty by Jingzhongwei for distribution and posting.
"In order for you to get familiar with life in Peking as soon as possible, I will let Mrs. Liu be responsible for receiving you." Wan Lei looked sincere, "Our Beiping City is open to everyone and is equal. Since you live in Beiping City, You have to abide by the rules of Peking City. Some important rules, Mrs. Liu will explain to you in detail, and you can do whatever you want."
Xu Huizu nodded expressionlessly. He knew that he was now in Pingyang, not a super duke. If he still showed off his character, he might be sent overseas. In order to return to his hometown in the future, he could only endure it. .
"The New Year is coming soon. I'll ask someone to prepare some New Year's goods for you. I hope you can have a good New Year too. Other things will be discussed after the New Year." Wan Lei waved his hand, and the two Jingzhongwei stepped forward and brought them with him. Xu Hui and his grandfather and son left.
When the Xu family's father and son walked away, the sloppy Taoist priest who had been playing with Xiaoyuan was returning Xiaoyuan. He kept complaining: "This little guy is so naughty. He just likes to pull out his beards. I have all these white beards. He is almost pulled out."
"Haha, this is because your beard is long." Wan Lei hugged his son and made a few grimaces, which made him laugh.
"You really want to truce the Ming Dynasty?" asked the sloppy Taoist whispered. He had bet on the Peking Army that Xingsheng Taoism had been on the Beiping Army. Now that the Beiping Army is going to truce, how can it seize the world? How to define Taoism as the national religion?
"We are now in a fight with the Mongols of the Tatar tribe. Sooner or later, we will have a decisive battle. I don't want to be attacked from both sides, so I will first have a three-year truce."
"But if the Ming court is unwilling to cease the war..."
"I have also considered this. If the Ming court is unwilling to cease the war, then I will send a few military forces to confront the Ming army and concentrate the main forces to defeat the Tatar tribe. In addition, I have sent an envoy to contact the Ola tribe. If I can make a deal, I will be able to conquer the Tatar tribe. To form an alliance, the Tatar tribe is not afraid of.”
In fact, since the Battle of Daning, the Beiping Army and the Tatar tribe have become in power. Moreover, the Tatar tribe colluded with King Su, the Qin King entrenched in Shaanxi, and was always ready to attack the Beiping Province. He was the confidant of the Beiping Army. The enemy, Wan Lei can distinguish between priorities, so he freed up his hands to deal with the Tatar tribe first.
Now the Beiping Army has more than 80,000 troops, of which more than 40,000 are new troops. The new troops are left to garrison Beiping and Liaodong, and the 40,000 old troops who are the best at fighting against Tatars in the west. As long as you are not eager to advance, you will have the chance to win. It is still very high. After all, the entire Tatars's troops have only more than 100,000 troops. As long as its main force is destroyed, there is no fear of Gui Lichi not compromising.
As for the troops of King Su of Qin, Wan Lei did not take them seriously at all. He left them with 40,000 new troops, which was enough to keep them out of the territory.
"Since you have made up your mind, I don't want to say much, so I'll say goodbye." The sloppy Taoist priest bowed and stood up and left.
"This old guy also knows that he is anxious, but he doesn't know that he can't eat hot tofu." Wan Lei smiled indifferently and started to make fun again.
+++000+++
In recent years, heavy snow has blocked the mountain, and there has been basically no war in various places. Generals such as Zhao Quanjie, Liaodong and Liu Wenxiu, who is in charge of the navy, have returned to Peiping City one after another to attend the year-end summary meeting. After the New Year, they will attend the meeting. The military meeting of 2019 agreed on a military plan for the new year.
Over the past year, the results of the Beiping Army were brilliant. The army not only repelled the Ming army's crazy counterattack, but also defeated the old enemy, the Liao army. It not only occupied Liaodong, but also recovered Daning. In short, the situation was good. The future is bright.
Although the navy has no major record, it is also growing and growing. Now there are fifteen warships of the Zhenyuan and thirty warships of the Dingyuan, which can form multiple maritime formations. Taking advantage of the civil strife of the Ming Dynasty, we seized the opportunity of civil unrest. Zhoushan Island was used as a maritime base and opened up maritime trade routes, escorting merchant ships many times, bringing millions of taels of silver to Peking.
Not only is it a military glory, but it has also done a good job in economics, culture and technology. It has vigorously developed Liaodong, built the first railway, opened the first train, and tried to use the steam engine in the industrial production field, and the development of Beiping Province On the road of industrialization.
With strong troops and strong horses, prosperous country and peace, prosperous culture and progress in science and technology, in addition to the fact that the unification has not been completed, this is like a peaceful rule.
