After screening all the people who had been released in advance, Chongzhen finally agreed to the Tatars' request for negotiation, and the time was set for two days later, on a hillside five miles away from Shanhaiguan.
"Mr. Fan, look at this peace negotiation, what demands should the Qing Dynasty make?" Since the Ming Dynasty was willing to negotiate, Huang Taiji was embarrassed to run away first. But compared to what demands his brothers made and the Ming Dynasty to demarcate the national boundary
, and then made vague suggestions about signing a non-aggression agreement, he was more willing to listen to himself as the chief adviser.
"Returning to the emperor..." Fan Wencheng had his own plan from the beginning, "The Ming Dynasty has such a powerful army, and it will definitely not tolerate us continuing to separate Liaodong..."
"Why!" Before Fan Wencheng could finish speaking, the irritable Duduo jumped out. "This Liaodong is the place of our ancestors. If the Ming Dynasty says they won't let us stay, then we can't stay? I'm the Qing Dynasty.
There are still three million warriors. If we are really in trouble, we will fight them desperately..."
"Sit down! Listen to what Mr. Fan has to say!" Dorgon took advantage of Huang Taiji's anger and pulled his unsatisfied brother back. "Fight your best? What can you do to fight with others? Just their muskets and cannons.
Don’t you want me to destroy the Qing Dynasty and wipe out our species?”
"Brother Fourteen is right!" Fan Wencheng continued: "We can't defeat them now, but that doesn't mean we will never be defeated in the future! Who of our ancestors in the Qing Dynasty did not survive in adversity?
So now we try to delay as much time as possible, and wait until the Qing Dynasty recovers its strength before looking for an opportunity to fight against the Ming Dynasty!"
"How to delay?" Dorgon also agreed with this proposal. Last time, he talked about exchanging population for peace, but how to implement it was very troublesome, and how long it could be delayed was also a big problem.
"First, we can return the people, but we can't return them all at once! We can use the excuse that the tribes' residences are too scattered and it takes time to assemble these captives, so we can only return them in batches!" Seeing that no one objected, Fan Wen
Cheng added: "Secondly, we request that we demarcate an armistice area with the Ming Dynasty. Within a certain period of time, no one can cross this area to attack! In this way, we can try to obtain a buffer zone for the Qing Dynasty, so that we can develop our military with peace of mind.
Be prepared!"
"Mr. Fan's words make sense! But how to negotiate this requires everyone to think carefully!" Huang Taiji has known these two principled conditions for a long time, and now he has convened everyone to discuss the specific negotiation details and negotiation methods. You must know
This time we are no longer wasting words with the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, but we have to face the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We will definitely not be able to bribe this person, we must work out a detailed plan!
The Tatars were busy discussing the details of the negotiation, and the Ming army camp was not calm. They were quarreling over who should be the chief negotiator. Of course, the so-called quarrel only happened between Chongzhen and Zhu Youcong, and other people were not qualified.
He didn't even have the guts to argue with these two people, so he just squatted outside and didn't hear anything inside the tent.
"Then tell me, why can't I take this responsibility?" Chongzhen roared at Zhu Youcong with a red face and a thick neck. After finally frightening the Tatars, seeing the fruits of victory in front of him, he still
I was thinking that even if I have to abide by the agreement and take the Zen position, I still have to leave a mark in history!
"Because you are the emperor!" Zhu Youcong did not have a bad temper like Chongzhen. He just had time to cross his legs and play with glass beads, with a smile on his face.
"So what if my brother is the emperor? The emperor can't negotiate with the Tatars?" It's okay not to mention this matter, but he gets even more angry when he mentions Chongzhen. "Believe it or not, my brother is going to issue an imperial edict today.
,then Zen is located in you?”
"Brother Emperor..." Are you so threatening? Zhu Youcong sighed, and said leisurely and authentically: "No matter what conditions are reached in this negotiation with the Tatars, my brother is not going to abide by them! As long as I am clear to the people,
If they are all released, my brother will immediately tear up the peace treaty and send troops to Liaodong! How can you be allowed to do such a thing?”….
"What?" Chongzhen knew that this little fat man was rather thick-skinned, but he really didn't expect that he could be so shameless. Wasn't it obvious that he was going to lie to others, and he said it so confidently?
"You'd better be a wise and powerful emperor, and leave these little things to me." Zhu Youcong stood up, and did not forget to continue to attack Chongzhen: "When the time comes, brother Huang must remember to issue an edict to reprimand the younger ministers.
What a treachery!”
"I said, you two are not afraid of catching cold while lying on the ground?" After leaving the tent, Zhu Youcong kindly reminded Lu Xiangsheng, who was lying on the ground, and Gao Doushu, who was responsible for guarding the door for the first time.
Two days later, the peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars were successfully held at the scheduled location!
"Where is your emperor?" Although Huang Taiji did not see Chongzhen's appearance clearly that day at Shanhaiguan, he at least understood that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a fat man. But today he found that he did not come, and he couldn't help but feel extremely angry.
"My emperor is busy counting the spoils of war, and the special general Zhenguo is fully responsible for this negotiation!" As the only full-time civil servant in the army, Gao Doushu had no choice but to stand up and explain.
"General Zhenguo?" Huang Taiji didn't know how old this official was, but it sounded like he had a good reputation. He had better find out first, and then sent his corresponding ministers to talk to him slowly. "In your Ming Dynasty,
,What grade of official position is this?"
"Hehe... no good!" Zhu Youcong smiled sheepishly. Seeing that everyone on the Tatar side was showing signs of anger, he quickly explained aggrievedly: "Actually, there were some before, but when the emperor came to the throne,
So I abolished this title, and now I am the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who has the misfortune to bear this title!"
"You..." Huang Taiji was so angry that he didn't even know what to say. In order to show the importance of this negotiation, not only did he, the emperor, come, but he was also accompanied by some princes, Baylor, and even Fan Wencheng specially gave him
He raised the flag and conferred a false title. But he never thought that the Ming Dynasty was so ignorant of etiquette, so he sent a fat little man with three men.
"Bold!" According to the prior arrangement, this is of course the time for Lu Xiangsheng to show his loyalty. "This is a member of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. How can I allow you to accuse me at will?"
"Damn it!" Duduo angrily pulled out his sword.
"Protect the general!" What if Shi Guoxiang was just a rough man? He lifted up his robe, revealing explosive bags tied all over his body, and stood in the front.
Of course, the bag is filled with dirt, but... not far away are ambushing hundreds of sharpshooters selected from the army, including Liu Tietou. As long as the Tatars really dare to make any changes, they can guarantee that
Rescue Zhu Youcong and others in the shortest possible time, and send all the other party's negotiators to see the shaman god.
"Protect the Emperor!" The Tatars panicked when they saw this situation. Damn it, how could this be a negotiation? Could it be the Hongmen Banquet hosted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which wanted the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his important officials to be arrested?
Catch them all in one go!
"What are you doing? What are you doing? We are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and we have come to negotiate at your request!" Zhu Youcong roared shamelessly.
"Stop it!" Although Huang Taiji was also scared, this was the time for him to show his demeanor as a king. After stopping his men, he said: "Since the Ming Dynasty has no intention of negotiating, then I can only be with you on the battlefield.
It’s a real chapter!”
"Let's go slowly! I won't send you away!" Zhu Youcong still maintained a cute smile. He didn't believe that the Tatars, who had been beaten enough, would give up the negotiation so easily. If this was the case, why would they make demands?
"Your Majesty..." Fan Wencheng has been strictly trained at the negotiation table in later generations, and he has long been accustomed to such childish tactics. Since he has made up his mind to compromise, he cannot care what methods others use.
To insult you….
"I wonder if this general of Zhenguo can really negotiate with the Qing Dynasty on behalf of the Ming Dynasty emperor?" After calming down the people who were eager to leave, Fan Wencheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand at the front. Who told him that he was on the Tatar side?
What about the most humble one?
"This should be okay!" Zhu Youcong scratched his head and asked Gao Dou Shu next to him: "What does the emperor's imperial edict say?"
"By the grace of heaven, the emperor issued an edict... Zhu Youcong, the general of the country, will be fully responsible for negotiating with the Tatars, and I allow him to act expediently!" Gao Doushu held out the imperial edict in his arms to the wind and read it loudly. As for the last part.
The sentence was added on purpose. Who told us that there are so many polyphonic words in Chinese? What the Tatars heard is really not necessarily that way of pronunciation! Anyway, the emperor said, everything should be done according to what the little fat man said. How could this be done?
How to explain it if you get more benefits!
"By the way, this gentleman is..." It is expected that if the Tatars really want to leave, they will have to come up with another imperial edict to deal with it. Now that they have stayed, Zhu Youcong is not so kind.
.
"I am the first-class Viscount of the Qing Dynasty, a military aircraft Zhang Jing, walking in front of the emperor..." It's not easy. Finally, I have the opportunity to show off my official position. Fan Wencheng also kept talking.
"Stop! Stop!" Zhu Youcong took out his ears and was very impatient. "Just say your name. I'm young and my memory is not very good!"
Fan Wencheng took a deep breath with great effort, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said bitterly: "I'm here, Fan Wencheng!"
The number one traitor in the late Ming Dynasty? He really didn’t look that good. His appearance was at least one block away from Qian Qianyi’s. It seems that if he didn’t become a traitor, he might not be able to find a second job.
Don't worry, I haven't had enough of being your master yet, it will be your turn later! "You are not qualified to negotiate!"
"You..." Fan Wencheng didn't expect the other party to answer like this. "Then who do you want to talk to?"
"He! Your Tatar leader!" Zhu Youcong stretched out his little hand, pointed directly at Huang Taiji and said: "I have told you today that you Tatars are the most untrustworthy, so I ask that I only talk to him!"
"Don't bully me too much!" Dorgon couldn't help it anymore and slapped the table hard. Although he was dissatisfied with his brother, he was still an emperor after all. How could he be so groveling with a worthless person?
The little fat guys are sitting at the negotiating table together? If word of this spreads, where will we put the face of the Qing Dynasty in the future?
