"It's not that I think too highly of you, but you have the strength!"
Huang Taiji looked at Jiang Wan and said seriously: "Before last year, I had never taken your Dongjiang Town seriously, and I had never heard of your name. In Liaodong, there is a famous general worthy of my respect, Huang Taiji.
There are fewer and fewer, and each wave is worse than the last. Everyone feels that Ming Dynasty’s energy has been exhausted. At this time, you came out!"
He shook his head: "You brought me too many surprises, and even scared me... This situation obviously cannot continue any longer!"
"I am listening!"
Jiang Wan suppressed the smile on his face. He knew that the main event was coming. The purpose of Huang Taiji's meeting with him was of course not to praise him severely. With Huang Taiji's position, he could take the risk for this meeting.
There is definitely a reward corresponding to the risk.
"I've asked people to think about you carefully!" Huang Taiji smiled slightly: "I should have collected almost all the information about you that can be collected on the surface, from your origin to your
Rise, your past experiences, your achievements, to be blunt, if there are people in the world who know you so thoroughly, I am definitely one of them, and this number
, and maybe even yourself!”
"I'm listening!"
Jiang Wan said without changing his expression.
"Good birds choose trees to roost in!" Huang Taiji said: "You, the Ming Dynasty, also have a saying that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. With the general trend of the world, the decline of the Ming Dynasty can be seen with the naked eye. Now our army is strong and our horses are strong. When I Jin completely conquers Chacha,
After Har, all the Mongolian tribes are under my control, and as the Ming Dynasty waxes and wanes, how much national strength is there to resist my conquests!"
"Your overseas troops and horses can be regarded as a powerful force of the Ming Dynasty. However, the number of your troops and horses is effective. If it is the time when I, Dajin, and the Ming Dynasty are competing for national strength, your troops and horses will be nothing more than this raging army.
A piece of firewood on a burning pile of firewood, no matter how hard you endure the burning, you will sooner or later turn into a pile of ashes!"
He sighed softly: "What good will this do to you, and to everyone in your overseas affairs department?"
"It's impossible for me to surrender to you!" Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head: "The Great Khan also said just now, if this is still the case, then there is no need to say more. It will delay each other's efforts and make me look down on you!"
"Of course I know!"
Huang Taiji glanced at Jiang Wan, stood up, and drew a big half circle with his hand.
"The world is so big, and you have such strength, how can you not be happy with your life!" A clear smile appeared on his lips: "Why don't you stand on your own feet, sit on the sidelines and watch me, Da Jin, and Da Ming dragons and tigers fight. In the future, regardless of whether I, Da Jin or Da Ming, are fighting,
, you can choose calmly who wins and who loses, wouldn’t it be better than being trapped in this broken carriage and horse of Ming Dynasty now!”
"You can give Daijin and Daming a chance, and you can also give yourself a chance. If you make the right choice, perhaps the blessings of future generations will be in your choice!"
Huang Taiji smiled: "Outsiders don't know how your emperor treats you, don't you know it yourself? Yuan Chonghuan's lessons learned from the past, don't you have any warning at all?"
"Are you here to establish yourself as a king?" Jiang Wan shook his head: "I am not a three-year-old child. As long as I dare to stand on my own, I am afraid that the Ming soldiers and horses in Liaoyang will attack immediately. And at that time, I am afraid that you, Dajin, will
Other than adding insult to injury, I will definitely not lend a helping hand!"
He chuckled: "In the palm-sized area that my Overseas Zhenfu Division currently occupies, hundreds of thousands of people are enemies of both Dajin and Ming Dynasty. Great Khan, do you really want me to die so much?
We men, if you really want my life, we can just see the truth on the battlefield, so why go to such trouble?"
"Who said your Overseas Control Department only has an area as big as your palm!" The smile on Huang Taiji's face became meaningful: "Is it enough for North Korea to give you?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment.
"I said, Korea will be given to you!" Huang Taiji said seriously: "All south of Gushan Fort will be given to you. I, Dajin, will no longer get involved. Whether you conquer or conquer Korea, it will be up to you.
I mean, with your current strength, this shouldn’t be a problem!”
He stared at Jiang Wan: "As long as you don't cross Gushan Fort, I, Daijin, will never take the initiative to attack your overseas town. You can take good care of your territory, and then make a calm decision in the future.
, still the king!"
"Is it that simple?"
Jiang Wan looked back at Huang Taiji: "Is there such a good thing in the world? As long as I don't attack Daikin, Daikin will not touch me?"
"Of course it's more than that!" Huang Taiji was very calm: "South of Liaoyang, bounded by the territory you currently occupy, your soldiers and horses cannot appear on the battlefields of Ming and Jin. Since you have chosen to sit on the sidelines, then
Of course we have to abide by the rules, don’t help anyone, and don’t hit anyone!”
"If I stand on my own, Ming Dynasty will definitely attack me!" Jiang Wan said.
"I will help you!" Huang Taiji said without hesitation: "Besides, as long as your overseas governor does not interfere in the fight between Dajin and Ming, I don't think Ming will have much energy and troops to provoke you.
, at that time, it was actually a dream for Ming Dynasty that you could help each other. If you were not willing to provoke two powerful enemies, how could Ming Dynasty be willing to fight with you and me at the same time!"
Jiang Wan was silent, thinking about how much of Huang Taiji's words were true and how much of them were false.
If Jiang Wan was really just a Ming general who was suspected by the emperor, Huang Taiji's words would be extremely deceptive, but unfortunately, Jiang Wan was not.
He knew clearly that even if he really established himself as king, with the virtue of the Manchus, once they gained power and defeated the Ming Dynasty, they would not even wait to occupy the entire Ming Dynasty, fearing that they would immediately turn around and attack him.
How could anyone be allowed to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? With Huang Taiji's talent and strategy, it was impossible not to be unclear about it.
Not to mention that he has cleared up the past suspicions with Zhu Youjian now, and the suspicion between the two basically disappears. Moreover, even if the suspicion was very serious at the beginning, he planned to stand on his own, but once Daming is in trouble, I am afraid he will do his best.
Help.
Therefore, Huang Taiji's proposal to him was basically not attractive at all.
North Korea is a small and weak country. He can get it at any time if he wants it. Moreover, there is no need to have such an ugly appearance as the Jinren. With the Ming Emperor's holy decree in his hands and a sufficiently powerful army standing guard, he, Jiang Wan, can get it at any time.
He could become the supreme emperor of Korea.
If a vassal state was sacrificed in order to resist the Tartars, it would not be a big deal to Zhu Youjian. The agreement between Korea and Dajin had actually betrayed the Ming Dynasty. He was now sending troops to conquer Korea and overthrow it.
Their royal court, if they change their king, he will be famous and well-founded!
"Look, since you have seriously considered this issue for so long, it means you have really thought about it this way!" Huang Taiji said with a clear face: "And in this case, no matter who talks to you, I'm afraid
You won’t even take it seriously, now I’m meeting you in person, as long as you nod, the power of the Three Kingdoms will be established!”
Three Kingdoms?
Jiang Wan was startled, remembering the unofficial history he had read and who knew where it came from, saying that Huang Taiji loved reading "The Three Kingdoms" and even distributed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a military manual to his generals. However, at this moment, the other party used the Three Kingdoms to force
To compare it to Dajin, Ming Dynasty and his own overseas Zhenfusi, he still felt that there was a huge violation.
Is it such an exaggeration?
"The Ming Dynasty's annual tribute will be handled by our Overseas Town and Fu Department from now on!" He said slowly: "I will not give Dajin a penny or a penny for this money and materials. In return, every year's annual tribute received will
, then, within that year, I will not take the initiative to attack Daikin!"
Huang Taiji's face showed a slight look of disappointment. Jiang Wan's words meant that he would not break away from the Ming Dynasty and stand on his own. In other words, his persuasion and temptation were completely rejected after Jiang Wan weighed the pros and cons.
"I want Liaoyang too!" Jiang Wan said slowly: "I don't care about the north of Liaoyang, and I can't control anywhere, but Liaoyang is the future seat of my overseas town and Fusi, and I won't give it to you. You occupy it.
In Liaoyang, my overseas governor has no sense of security at all!"
"Your appetite is bigger than I thought!" Huang Taiji looked at him deeply, but did not agree or refuse.
"There is one thing you may not know yet!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the cabinet are already discussing how to ban all transactions between Ming Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Mongolia. I know that you are somewhat dissatisfied with this so-called ban.
But please believe that this trade ban will be the most severe in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who violates this ban will be ruined, and his family will be confiscated and exterminated at every turn!"
He grinned: "Because this prohibition order was proposed to the emperor by me. I will use the firearms and spears of my overseas suppression department to ensure that this order is not an empty order!"
Huang Taiji's face became serious. As the helmsman of Daikin, he clearly knew what kind of difficulties Daikin would face after losing the input of Ming Dynasty. Even if the two countries have been at war, Ming Dynasty's food, medicinal materials, ordnance
Even all kinds of luxury goods are continuously exported from Daming. It can be said that if Daming did not suck blood from Daming, Dajin would never rise in such a short period of time!
"Previously, I planned to use Gushanbao as a place for mutual trade. Now it seems that Liaoyang is more suitable to be a place for mutual trade. By then, our Overseas Town and Fu Division will be stationed in Liaoyang to ensure that it becomes an ideal place for both parties to trade in the long term.
In addition to the products of the Ming Dynasty, with the strength of our Overseas Suppression and Control Department, Dajin may also be able to see many strange objects from overseas!"
Jiang Wan said with certainty: "Believe me, this is definitely good for Daikin!"
"So, even if you want Liaoyang, it will not be as a military town, but as a place for mutual trade!" Huang Taiji said nothing.
"How?" Jiang Wan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Huang Taiji is worthy of being a decisive person. After pondering for a moment, he immediately agreed to Jiang Wan's request: "As long as your overseas troops and horses from the Overseas Suppression Division are stationed in Liaoyang, our army will not attack Liaoyang, but similarly,
The soldiers and horses of your Overseas Suppression and Control Division are not allowed to attack me, Daijin!"
"What's the limited distance?" Jiang Wan asked directly.
"Limited to a hundred miles!" Huang Taiji said.
The two sides looked at each other and smiled.
"So, we have reached an agreement now?" Huang Taiji said.
"It's settled for the time being!" Jiang Wan didn't hide her meaning at all: "At least that's the case for now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Let's just limit it to one year and see how it goes. After one year, maybe
The situation in the world has changed, and the things we are talking about between the two of us are meaningless!"
"One year!" Huang Taiji pondered for a moment: "Then one year!"
At this point, the two sides have basically reached an agreement on the main things they want to discuss.
Jiang Wan did not ask for any written agreement to be signed with the other party, and Huang Taiji did not mention it. For the two of them, this verbal agreement is actually no different from the so-called written agreement. If you have the strength to deny this verbal agreement,
An agreement is reached, and the written agreement is just a piece of waste paper that can be torn up at any time.
Reaching consensus is the most important thing.
After talking about business, both parties were in no hurry to get up and leave. At this time, neither Jiang Wan nor Huang Taiji could hide their curiosity about the other party. If the situation allowed, they were still willing to chat more.
Of course, it is best not to have a heavy topic involving military and national affairs.
"I heard that you like the two women that the North Koreans gave you very much. You take them with you wherever you go. I also have beauties in Dajin. I'll ask someone to give you a few of them later."
"Don't dare!" Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment and replied with a wry smile.
"With such courage, I will give you your woman. Are you still worried that they will not be good for you?" Huang Taiji said with a smile: "I heard that you only have one son. This is not good. You have to have more children."
A safe spot!”
"My wife is in charge of the overseas finance department's purse for me!" Jiang Wan shook her head: "My wife doesn't like me having too many women, so I'd better not have too many women!"
"Hahahaha!" Huang Taiji burst out laughing, pointing at Jiang Wan with great joy: "A person like you, a person like you... is actually henpecked?"
"What's so funny about this!" Jiang Wan rolled her eyes: "Having more sons is not a good thing. If you don't know it now, you will know it later!"
"Hahaha!" Huang Taiji ignored Jiang Wan, stood up with a laugh, turned and left: "He is actually afraid of women, hahahaha, he is actually afraid of women!"
The sound was so loud that the entire valley was echoed by him.
Jiang Wan glared at his back fiercely, stood up, and called to Sun Yuanhua: "Let's go back!"
"Sir, you have agreed to all these conditions of the Tartars, this and this..." Sun Yuanhua's face turned gloomy, looking very depressed.
"It's just a delaying tactic!" Jiang Wan said in a low voice without stopping: "If you dare to leak a single word, I will report it to Your Majesty and destroy your nine tribes!"
Sun Yuanhua was stunned for a moment, and his face showed joy: "I don't dare!"
On the other side, Hauge walked into his father and helped him get on the horse: "Father, this man cannot be kept!"
"Of course I know!" Huang Taiji suppressed the smile on his face: "Let him live for another year and a half, we have more important things to do!"
