Chapter 379 Peace talks without sincerity are progressing smoothly!
After Wu Gang's feedback was given to Minsheng Enamel Factory, they considered it and happily agreed to the proposal.
The main reason why Minsheng Enamel Factory accepted this condition was that they felt that Wang Dachun was a suitable candidate to preside over the steel factory! Although they themselves dealt with steel, they were not actually very familiar with iron smelting and steelmaking.
Professional people do professional things, so that they can be more efficient. Anyway, they want to build a steel factory mainly to solve the problem of iron tire supply upstream of the enamel factory. If a large enamel factory like them does not control the production of iron tires, it will always
This is a bit worrying. The stocks that account for 30% of the steel mills at least have a say in the shipment of iron materials, so that they also have the ability to independently produce iron tires.
Minsheng agreed to the Governor's Office's proposal, and the establishment of the Baoding Factory Area and Steel Plant was immediately launched.
Among the shareholders of the steel plant, Luo Shihong almost has the smallest amount of capital. He became a shareholder because Wu Di took special care of him. Wu Di took care of him, naturally not because he was pleasing to his eyes but for the future development of the factory area. The emperor gave Baoding
Among the construction opinions put forward by the factory district, it is emphasized that efforts should be made in the cotton spinning industry. Luo Shihong's industry is related to cotton spinning, so if he stays in Baoding, he may not be able to use it when developing the cotton spinning industry in the future.
It was in the second half of the 19th year of Chongzhen. Compared with the fierceness in the first half of the year, the situation seemed to have calmed down a lot after July. The tug-of-war in southern Liaoning finally came to an end, and the Qing army's attack on the Haizhou front line stopped.
The fundamental reason why they stopped their counterattack was that they could no longer hold on! Since November last year, the main force of the Qing army has been fighting non-stop. For more than half a year, the total casualties were close to 50,000. The battle losses of 50,000 horses were absolutely
It has exceeded the red line that the Qing army can bear. If they continue to fight like this, they will probably destroy all their main forces.
The Qing army no longer counterattacked, and the Ming army had no intention of continuing to penetrate deeper. Liaodong naturally returned to calm.
Calmness is only a superficial phenomenon. The current situation has actually pushed the Qing army to the cliff! The Manchu and Qing nobles in Shenyang are as anxious as ants on a hot pot these days. They have trouble sleeping and eating, and are on the verge of collapse.
"Long live, the captors sent people to Shanhaiguan again to discuss the armistice. They said they could accept the handing over of Daning and the Four Guards of Liaonan to the imperial court, and at the same time proposed that Ming and them become a country of brothers, and they were willing to respect Ming as their elder brother.
As for the imperial court's previous premise of removing the Eight Banners system and giving equal rights to the Manchu and Han Dynasties, they said that this is their own national conditions and they hope that the imperial court will not interfere." Zhou Yanru brought the latest news from the Shanhaiguan peace talks.
"Hmph! We have captured Daning and Liaonan. They will be helpless for a while, but now it is like they surrendered to the imperial court. That's all. Now, we will not be able to launch a bigger war in a year or two. I think
Now is the time to accept peace talks between the two sides. Replying to Jianlu, Ming deeply felt that the people of Liaodong were devastated by the war, and he also wanted to negotiate a ceasefire. However, he did not go to the Eight Banners and treated the Han people in Liaodong harshly, which always made the country unhappy.
Don't worry. Therefore, before the peace treaty agreement between the two countries is formally reached, a three-year armistice observation period will be set up. During the armistice observation period, the two sides will use the existing control area as the boundary, and the troops of both sides can no longer cross the border to provoke war. At the same time,
They must be strict with themselves, not treat the Han people harshly in Liaodong, and not provoke the country. If they perform well in the past three years, the two countries will formally sign a peace treaty. By the way, they also have to deal with the previous incident of Azige driving people to the battlefield.
Give the country and the DPRK a reasonable explanation."
"One Sword Dominates"
Let's talk. Anyway, talking while fighting is the most common situation in war. Zhu Youjian is not surprised by this. If negotiation can bring about a year or two of peace in the Liaodong battlefield, that would be the best, Ming Dynasty
It does take two years to consolidate the results achieved so far.
Zhu Youjian's peace talks opinions quickly reached Dorgon and others in Shenyang through the Shanhaiguan negotiation site.
After receiving Daming's feedback, Dorgon had no idea. Ordinarily there was nothing unacceptable about these opinions, and there was nothing excessive about Daming's request, but he always felt that there was something wrong with these conditions!
"Bachelor, why do you think there is a big conspiracy behind the terms of peace talks proposed by the Ming Dynasty?" Dorgon, who felt something was wrong, called Hong Chengchou and wanted to hear his analysis. At the beginning of the year, he had a prejudice against Lao Hong, but he could
After more than half a year of evolution, his attitude has changed again.
"There is no conspiracy. The Ming court is carrying out a conspiracy. Obviously they are not preparing for real peace talks with the Qing Dynasty. After the three-year observation period, they will definitely find an excuse to launch a war in order to completely restore Liaodong. Set up for three years
The observation period is to stabilize Liaonan and Daning. In addition, they are likely to be free to quell the internal chaos."
"In the opinion of a scholar, is there no need for the Qing Dynasty to pay attention to their insincere peace talks?"
"Does the regent really want to have complete peace talks with the Ming court and cede Daning and Liaonan to the Ming court?"
"Maester you mean?"
"The foreign minister's opinion is that the Ming court needs a two- or three-year peace period, and the Qing Dynasty also needs a two- or three-year peace period. The wars in the past six months or so have made the already bad situation even worse.
The vitality of the Qing Dynasty has been greatly damaged. Relatively speaking, the Qing Dynasty even needs a recovery period. What will the Ming court do in the next two or three years? I think they are most likely to use their energy to solve the internal chaos.
The chaos within the Ming court is now chaotic. If they sink their energy into it, they may not be able to get out within two or three years, but will be trapped in the quagmire. This will be an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty!"
"The bachelor's plan is indeed far-reaching! With the help of the bachelor, I, the Qing Dynasty, will definitely be able to turn things around."
Hong Chengchou's words made Dorgon excited. He even felt that he had found the root cause of the repeated setbacks in the battle with the Ming army in the past two years. It was not that the Ming army no longer paid attention to the chaos in the belly, and put all the
Is all the energy used to deal with the Qing Dynasty? If so, then give them some time to make them mistakenly think that the Qing Dynasty will no longer trouble them, so that they can calm down the civil strife. After the Ming court's energy is restrained by the civil strife,
The opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to reverse the situation came.
Dorgon figured out the key and immediately sent an order to Fan Wencheng, who was negotiating at Shanhaiguan, asking him to agree to the conditions proposed by Ming Ting and immediately implement the details of the peace talks. In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, he even made a move to Ah.
Jige decided to punish him. However, the punishment was loud and clear. Azig was demoted from a prince to a county king and fined 500 ding.
In this way, the insincere peace talks between the Ming and Qing Dynasties actually went very smoothly, and soon reached the stage of discussing specific details. The two sides even discussed the actual control of the boundary line in a serious manner, as if it were real!
