He had no choice but to stand up, cupped his hands and smiled bitterly, "My Majesty, the Ming Dynasty, naturally made arrangements. I sent my subordinates here just to ask what your Majesty's intention is. If you want to end the war, your Majesty will send famous ministers."
Talented officials can come."
"Haha, in this case, please come back first, Mr. Zhang, just to see if your Majesty the Emperor is sincere. Please also ask Mr. Zhang to tell His Majesty the Emperor that I will only give you two days. If this time limit is exceeded, don't be surprised.
I don’t miss my old love anymore.”
Dorgon said something at the right time, and Zhang He's face turned really ugly. He felt a burning pain on his face, because the tone of Dorgon's words was as if he regarded the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as his own son.
There is a saying that the emperor should die when he insults his ministers, but in this situation, he can only swallow his anger. Waiting for Zhang He to say goodbye, Fu Chachun took a sip of wine and a smile appeared on his face, "This Zhang He is quite good.
I’m just a little timid.”
"Fu Dutong is right, Zhang He is pretty good, but he just met Zhu Youjian and his son." Dorgon waved his hand and signaled the woman to exit the tent, his expression became solemn, and in the blink of an eye, that kind of
The color of floating waves disappears.
Let’s not mention this pair of Jurchen uncles and nephews for now, let’s talk about Zhang He. He left the Jin Kingdom camp in an uneasy mood. Apart from seeing Dorgon and Fu Chachun, he gained nothing during this trip.
The situation is not very clear. Zhang He feels that he has failed and has gained nothing. Will His Majesty blame him after he returns?
Through Huairou, I returned to the capital again. The palace was still brightly lit at night. Zhu Youjian had many shortcomings, but one thing he had more than Zhu Youxiao was diligence. But when there was a memorial, Zhu Youjian would do it one by one.
As for the review, as for Zhu Youxiao, that was fully entrusted to Qian Qianyi and Yang Jian.
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door. Wang Chengen opened the door without stepping in. He stood outside the door and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is back."
"Well, Xuan" Zhu Youjian frowned and wrote back.
Zhu Youjian was also anxious to know how the peace talks were going. When Zhang He entered the Zichen Palace, he quickly asked, "Master Zhang, what is the reaction of the Jurchen Tatars and how much do they want?"
Zhang He's face was a little bitter, and he had to reply truthfully, "Your Majesty, this time we did not touch on the substantive content, and the Jurchens did not say how much they wanted, but looking at Dorgon's expression, he didn't seem to be very interested in the peace talks.
.”
Standing in the Zichen Palace, Zhang He explained everything that happened in detail. He could go to the Jurchen camp again, but the peace talks must have someone with status. No matter who made these requests
, Zhu Youjian felt that it was still within the acceptable range. Just imagine that if he were Dorgon, he would also want to talk to an identity person, because that way the credibility would be stronger.
As for the bottom line of the negotiation, it is actually easy to grasp, because there is no bottom line in Zhu Youjian's heart. As long as he can coax the Jurchens away, he can pay any price. It is nothing more than how much money he has to pay. He is not afraid of women.
The real lion opened his mouth. If the Ming Dynasty couldn't pay the price, the Jurchens' offer would be in vain. Dorgon must have been stupid enough to give a price that the Ming Dynasty could afford.
Now comes the question. Everything else is easy to say. Who should be sent to accompany Zhang He to the Jurchen military camp to negotiate again? Someone with status is of course the most suitable person from the royal family. Is it his son? After thinking about it, he just shook his head.
Shaking his head, Tie Mo, the governor of the five provinces? Are you kidding? Who can command Tie Mo?
Zhang He's identity is not enough, so find someone with enough identity. At this time, Zhu Youjian did not suspect that Dorgon was playing tricks. After all, the Ming Dynasty still had its airs, and it was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian hesitated for a long time, and finally chose Wen Tiren, the Minister of Hubu. Now Wen Tiren was considered independent from Zhou Tingru's sect. Because he relied on Zhu Youjian, he also took the high position of the Minister of Hubu. Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren were not missing for this.
Secretly competing. The most speechless thing is that this time Wen Tiren secretly negotiated peace, Zhang He and Zhou Tingru were accompanying him. When he thought of Zhou Tingru's uncertain eyes, Wen Tiren's heart turned upside down.
Accompanied by Zhang He and Zhou Tingru, the three of them walked along the city wall to the bottom of the city. Looking from a distance, they saw the banners of the Jin State military camp blocking the sun and its majestic momentum. This scared Wen Tiren to death. This was the first time he had seen this.
There are many foreign soldiers and horses. Wen Tiren is not very courageous, and Zhang He is even less courageous. As for Zhou Tingru, not to mention, it is a strange thing that the Ming Dynasty found such three people to be responsible for peace talks. We haven't even reached the military camp yet.
Wen Tiren began to mutter in his heart, "Master Zhang, are Dorgon's Jurchen Tatars evil?"
Zhang He was in a state of anxiety. Hearing Wen Tiren ask this question, he became a little scared. He was not afraid of the Jurchens, but he was afraid that His Highness King Yun would temporarily back down. In that case, wouldn't Zhang He's departure be in vain?
It’s a trip. The Jin Kingdom camp is not far away. Zhang He quickly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Master Wen, there is no need to worry. The Tatars just want more money and don’t dare to do anything to us.
The city walls here are thick and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. The Jurchens also have to guard against our Qinwang troops from all over the Ming Dynasty. Wherever we dare to mess around, if we can get some money and go back, it will be very good."
Zhang He said these words just because he was tolerant and benevolent, but his words were not unreasonable. Huairou is the hinterland of Gyeonggi. If the troops of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty really gathered here, more than 50,000 Jin soldiers would really be trapped in a heavy siege.
middle.
Dorgon was not worried at all, and he was sure that King Qin's troops and horses had not moved. At least for now, Liu Che and Song Jiang's tens of thousands of troops had no signs of marching westward. If these troops of King Qin and horses had moved, there would be no need for the Northern Shanxi Army to come. Dorgon
Gun had to consider whether to retreat to the north first. At least he had to be stationed in Chenqiao Town in the north to be safe.
After soothing their minds, the three of them arrived at the Jin Kingdom camp with an uneasy mood. As soon as they entered the camp, they were shocked by the scene in the camp. They saw a trail branching out from the camp, with more than a hundred people standing on both sides of the road.
Axeman, the weather in early spring is still very cold, and the wind is strong, but these axemen all bare their breasts, with big axes on their shoulders, their eyes wide open, full of murderous aura.
Seeing this scene, Zhang He swallowed his saliva dryly, and Wen Tiren was even more unbearable. He shrunk his neck and almost ran away. On the contrary, Zhou Tingru became the calmest person and had seen the chaos in Suzhou Prefecture. He led the troops to assemble.
Suzhou Prefecture has been in the war and knows a little about these dramas. The Tatars are going to show off their power. If they are really frightened, the Jurchens behind will be able to open their mouths. A Jin Kingdom general
He strode forward with a sword in hand, came closer, and asked in a cold and condescending tone, "Wen Tiren, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Hey, my king has been waiting for you for a long time, please."
The Jurchens are such a nation. They revere the strong and despise the weak. A timid person like Wen Tiren will only despise but not have any respect. Wen Tiren has no intention of wondering how Dorgon learned about it.
He will come. Looking at this ferocious general of the Jin Kingdom, he nodded instinctively. Zhang He and Zhou Tingru were really disappointed with Wen Tiren's reaction.
Lord Wen, Lord Wen, have you been frightened and confused? You are the Minister of Hubu in the Ming Dynasty. How can you be led by a Jurchen general? As Lord Wen, the Minister of Hubu, you must be Fu Chachun or
It’s better for someone with Duduo’s status to come and greet him. Just let him do whatever he says. How can we talk about the subsequent peace talks?
Wen Tiren didn't know how bad his reaction just now was, but Zhang He couldn't say it yet, so the three of them followed the Jin general into a large tent with three expressions of disgrace.
The big tent was empty except for the three Ming Dynasty peace talks angels. There was a table in the tent and nothing else. The Jin people were so ruthless that they didn't even give them a glass of water. Zhang He felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
, even if the Jurchens deliberately delayed to consume the three people's energy, they shouldn't even understand the most basic etiquette.
Unable to figure it out in his heart, he apologized, got up and came to the door of the tent. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the curtain of the tent, two steel knives were placed on his neck. As soon as he felt the coldness, Zhang He hit him
Shivering, he smiled and said, "Guys, we are discussing important matters with the king. I don't know why, why are you treating us like this?"
Most of the people who were sent near the big tent heard a lot of Chinese. A Jin soldier pushed Zhang He and raised his chin and said, "What are you talking about? Military affairs are being discussed in the camp of the king's order. Military aircraft are being discussed."
How can this important matter be leaked? In order to avoid burning some of you, please stay in the tent for a while. When the time is right, the king will summon you."
Zhang He was pushed back to the tent. In desperation, he could only jump on his feet and curse. At this moment, even Zhou Tingru was shocked. What on earth did the Jurchen Tatars want to do? Isn't it a peace negotiation? Why were they detained?
Well, the Jurchens no longer want gold and silver?
Of course Zhang He and others could not understand what Dorgon was thinking. Dorgon just wanted to hold Zhang He and others captive and wear down their patience. Now that Wen Tiren is here, he must make good use of it, right? Dorgon
I have been to the capital quite often, so I know a little bit about the situation in Ming Dynasty.
Tie Mo, the only capable person in the Ming Dynasty, was forced by his own family to turn against the imperial court. The remaining courtiers could only scheming and thinking about how to kill their own people and get down to business.
Come on, according to Tie Mo, the difference is too far. Dorgon hopes that the negotiation can go smoothly, and it is best to obtain the greatest benefits in the shortest time, and these will fall on Wen Tiren.
In normal negotiations, anyone who is not a fool has to bargain. Even if Wen Tiren and Zhang He are frightened enough, their bargaining skills are still there. Normal negotiations will definitely delay time, and they may not get the most benefits, but
If Wen Tiren feels sufficiently threatened, the result will be different. The threat cannot come from Dorgon, because Wen Tiren is not a fool. He knows very well that if the Qing Dynasty wants to negotiate peace, Wen Tiren's life must be saved, but it comes from Zhu
The threat from inspection is different.
Dorgon didn't see Wen Tiren and others for a long time, so he delayed it for a whole day. During this day, Dorgon didn't even show his face, and the three peace envoys were even followed by people when they went to the latrine. At night, Zhang He
He and Zhou Tingru fell asleep unknowingly, but Wen Tiren was the only one who didn't feel sleepy at all with his eyes open. This was also due to Dorgon. The medicine was only given to Zhang He and Zhou Tingru, which shows how much Wen Tiren thought highly of him.
He got up, walked to the door cautiously, and poked his head outside. There was a bright light outside, and the half moon was floating, covering the quiet camp. You couldn't see the blue sky and white clouds, but you could see a few Jin people outside the tent.
They were whispering to each other, maybe because they thought everyone in the tent had gone to sleep, so the voices of several people were not quiet.
A seemingly rough-looking man with a beard sat crookedly on the ground, supporting his chin with his right hand, and said in a low voice, "Hey, don't you know, the king just received an envoy from the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know what they talked about. It's really funny
I don’t understand these Han people. It’s not enough to send three envoys for peace talks. Why do you send another one, and it’s a different way?”
"Isn't that right? These Han people are just interesting. Don't worry about it. Let's sleep for a while." Several Jin soldiers stood up and cursed. Some went to take a nap nearby, while others returned to their posts and continued to stand guard.
Wen Tiren was afraid of being discovered by these Tatars, so he was so frightened that he returned to the big tent. He came back, but his mind could not calm down. What was going on? Why were there two groups of peace envoys? No wonder Dorgon was so angry one day
Time hadn't passed yet, so I had the guts to talk to others. There were too many things I didn't understand. I raised my hand and wanted to pull Zhou Tingru up so that I could ask him if he knew about another wave of peace envoys, but when
When his hand was about to touch Zhou Tingru, Wen Tiren hesitated again.
If he is really deceived, can he trust Zhou Tingru? It is true that Zhou Tingru has always been attached to him, but it is precisely because of this that he knows Zhou Tingru's character. This man named Li is just a wallflower. Who can guarantee that he has not secretly
He took refuge with Zhu Youjian.
After thinking about it, he suddenly found that there was no one he could trust. Looking at Zhang He and Zhou Tingru who were sleeping, Zhu Youjian breathed out secretly and kept telling himself that he must be calm, he must be calm, in this golden place.
In the Jin Kingdom Camp, the only person who can be trusted is himself. Hum, let’s see what Zhu Youjian wants to do. He wants Wen Tiren to die in the Jin Kingdom Camp. There is no door. No matter what, he has to leave alive.
.
Thinking about things and being frightened and restless for the day, Wen Tiren fell asleep in a daze. The next day, he was awakened by a tinkling sound outside the account. When he opened his eyes, Zhang He and Zhou Tingru were also rubbing their hands.
He sat up with his eyes open. Zhou Tingru must have been asleep. He thought he was at home. He yelled in a high-pitched voice, "Who doesn't open their eyes? What are you doing with the clanging outside? Don't you want to live?"
