Song Xiance was shocked at that time. He didn't expect that he could actually defend it.
Later, the prince's actions made Song Xiance more and more curious about the prince, and Li Zicheng increasingly showed his corrupt and incompetent side.
Song Xiance became more and more disappointed with Li Zicheng.
But he became more and more curious about Zhu Cixiang, the Ming Dynasty Prince.
He really had only one purpose for this visit, to see the Ming Dynasty Prince.
Song Xiance's gaze was naturally noticed by Zhu Cixiang, who looked at Song Xiance in front of him calmly.
After the two looked at each other for a while.
"Have you seen enough?"
Zhu Cixiang said calmly towards Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Enough."
Song Xiance smiled slightly and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Your Highness! What our king means is that the internal affairs of the Han people should be settled by us Han people ourselves, so he does not want to take action against General Wu in Shanhaiguan.
General Wu can continue to occupy Liaodong, and everything will be the same as before. To show sincerity, our king can postpone proclaiming himself emperor!"
Zhu Cixiang, who had already known what Song Xiance said, smiled slightly and said calmly: "Now that you King Chuang has occupied the entire northern land, why should we spend money, food and soldiers to help you block the Manchus from entering the pass?
pace?"
"Your Highness, Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that you don't want to see the Manchus entering the country. After all, no one wants to see the Manchus entering the country!
In the original Battle of Sarhu, after the imperial court lost to the Manchu and Qing cavalry, the imperial court was already fighting against the Manchu and Qing troops in the field battle, and had no power to fight back! I believe that His Highness the Crown Prince would not want the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to enter the Pass.
!”
Song Xiance was neither humble nor arrogant, with a smile on his face and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said.
Hearing Song Xiance's words, Zhu Cixiang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Even if I enter the customs, what will happen?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Song Xiance in front of him calmly and said: "Even if they enter the border, they will still face your army. What does it have to do with me? It is you thieves who should suffer! I can just watch the show from the side.
Oh, by the way, you can also sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight! Watching you fight to the death! I’m quite happy too!”
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Song Xiance smiled and shook his head.
"Have you ever heard a saying, Your Highness, it is easy to invite gods, but it is difficult to send them away! Your Highness allowed the Qing army to enter the pass, which is certainly a huge blow to us, but at the same time, the worst we can do is withdraw to Shaanxi and Shanxi and give up our territory to the Qing Dynasty
.
When the time comes, His Royal Highness will face the Manchus directly, what will happen?"
Song Xiance said with a smile on his face as he looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Your Highness, these Manchus are different from our Chuangwang troops! They are extremely ferocious and murderous, and their full cavalry are invincible and extremely mobile. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is really prepared to face the Manchus.
Are there any plans for human cavalry?”
Hearing Song Xiance's words, Zhu Cixiang felt a little emotional.
I have to say that Song Xiance's mouth was indeed very capable, and what he said hit Zhu Cixiang's vital points.
Yes, now Zhu Cixiang does not want to face the Manchu cavalry directly. In Zhu Cixiang's mind, he needs to develop more advanced Suifa muskets first, so that when he faces the Manchu cavalry, he can face the enemy head-on.
if not……
Although Zhu Cixiang now has the elite cavalry of General Huang Degong under his command, even if he can win against the Manchu cavalry, the casualties are definitely not the number that Zhu Cixiang wants to see!
Although Zhu Cixiang thought so in his heart, his face was extremely calm. He just looked at Song Xiance in front of him calmly and said calmly: "Oh? Then what? Even if you tell the truth today, Man Qing will be able to
It has become a foregone conclusion that even I can't change this fact!"
"Your Highness, we are all happy people, just tell us your conditions!"
Song Xiance looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a smile and said.
"General Wu's life in Shanhaiguan was not easy, and our life in Shandong was also not easy. After all, food is expensive now! Military pay is also expensive."
Zhu Cixiang looked into Song Xiance's eyes with a smile on his face.
"My conditions are very simple, very simple. I only need all the expenses of Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng will pay half of the military salary and food!"
"This is impossible!"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Song Xiance resolutely refused.
But the look he looked at Zhu Cixi became more and more appreciative.
Amazing!
He is just a weak young man, but his political methods are really sophisticated!
To be honest, Song Xiance never thought of this condition for a while!
"Then there's nothing we can do!"
Zhu Cixiang shrugged, with a smile on his face, he looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said: "Our current goal is mainly to develop Jiangnan and Shandong. The road to Liaodong has been completely blocked by you.
You two, we only have half of the country left, and we can't afford such a high salary!"
Looking at Zhu Cixi's expression, Song Xiance in front of him felt a little emotional.
A tough opponent!
Song Xiance became a little more serious, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, if you say this, it is absolutely impossible for the Chuang King to agree to it, unless you are ready to let Wu Sangui surrender to the Chuang Army! Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible!"
"Surrender? Hahahaha!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Song Xiance in front of him: "Are you kidding me? There are at least tens of thousands of Guan Ning cavalry in Shanhaiguan. I can transport them directly to Shandong by ship and still maintain combat effectiveness!
Even if we face the Qing army, we still have the strength to fight! Surrender to the intruders?"
There was a hint of ridicule in Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
"No, of course I'm not joking!"
Song Xiance's expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I hope His Highness will change the condition. Otherwise, if it is this condition, it will be really difficult for us, King Chuang, to agree to it!"
"There are no conditions for exchange, that's it!"
Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said.
"Then we have to talk to King Chuang!"
"OK!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said to the maid on the side: "Come here, arrange rooms for these envoys!"
After finishing speaking, Song Xiance took a deep look at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
Without saying anything else, he went directly to the room arranged by Zhu Cixiang.
After arriving in the side room, the envoys around Song Xiance suddenly showed excited expressions. They said to Song Xiance: "Military advisor! Let's go! How can we agree to this condition?"
"Yes! We still have to use our own money and food to help Ming support the army! How is this possible!"
The envoys next to them were all very excited and said to Song Xiance who was standing aside.
