The secret peace mission of the Ming Dynasty, headed by Ma Shaoyu of the military department, arrived at Tashan on the third day of the third month of March, stayed for four days, and was escorted by Dolgon with a Jialazhangjing with 500 soldiers, and at the same time ordered people to fly to Guangning on horseback. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Taiji sent officials to Tashan to greet him; On the 7th day of the first month, he left Tashan to the north and arrived in Quang Ninh on the 10th.

At that time, Huang Taiji, who was officially called "Lao Han" by the Ming Dynasty, was not in a hurry to summon the members of Ma Shaoyu's mission. He maintained the habits of a nomadic people, unlike the Ming emperors, who closed himself up in the Forbidden City for the whole year and his whole life, and did not see society. After presiding over the surrender ceremony of Zu Dashou and a group of other people, he dealt with several important military and political affairs, so that at noon on the 11th, he took Empress Zhezhe and Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace and other people, led a group of Kabush soldiers, and ordered Zu Dashou and others to accompany them, and rode out of the camp of Yiwu Lushan together, and in the name of inspecting the royal pastures, they saw a few grazing cattle and horses, and also shot and hunted at any time. In order to highlight the martial style of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to showing the emperor's grace to Zu Dashou, Wang Pu and other newly surrendered people, another purpose was that he wanted to polish the character of Ma Shaoyu, the negotiating delegation.

However, although he left the camp, during his departure from the camp, as soon as the military affairs were met, the scholars of the three inner academies sent people to fly horses at any time. As for the hospitality of the Ming Dynasty and the envoys, they all followed his instructions. On the morning of 11 March, Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, and several other Han ministers went out to welcome the envoy Ma Shaoyu 20 miles away and held a banquet to entertain them. According to the etiquette agreed by the two sides: when the banquet was held, the Ming envoys knelt down and bowed three times to the north, and after the banquet, they bowed again. This etiquette, the envoy Ma Shaoyu thought it was a thank you to the Qing Emperor, but Bao Chengxian and others proudly called it "thanksgiving".

On the night of the 12th, Huang Taiji ordered the Ministry of Rites to take charge of Mandarhan, the political counselor Ahanikan, the scholars of the Inner Academy, Fan Wencheng, Ganglin, and Luo Shuotong, the bachelor, to the place where Ma Shaoyu and others stayed. Banquet for the Ming State and the envoys. Both sides continued to salute as they had been at the first feast. After the banquet, Mandarhan and others asked the Ming envoys for the peace credentials. Ma Shaoyu and others said that they brought Emperor Chongzhen to send an edict to Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the military department sent them to negotiate peace. Mandalhan and the others took Chongzhen's edict to Chen Xinjia, looked at it, and said that they needed to enter the palace to show that the emperor would know, and then decide how to hold the discussion.

The next morning. On a high slope on the bank of the Liao River where the ice and snow melt and the grass and trees begin to turn green, there is a yellow felt tent, in which Huang Taiji sits on the ground, and Man Darhan, Fan Wencheng and Ganglin sit on the left and right, studying the Chongzhen edict brought by the Ming envoy Ma Shaoyu. Huang Taiji didn't know Chinese, and Mandarhan only knew a little. They listened to Fan Wencheng read the edict and then translated it sentence by sentence in Manchu. The Han inscription reads: "Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers: According to the Ministry of Ministers yesterday, the matter of the resignation of the army and the people the day before yesterday has not been reported conclusively. Because he did not send an official to Shen. Ungotten sounds. Today, the ministry is allowed to act cheaply, and send officers to find out the real lazy instrument. Encyclical! ”

After listening to this secret message, Huang Taiji pondered for a moment in his heart and said: "I originally sent envoys to ask for peace, but this Ming emperor deliberately did not use the state letter, and only asked the envoys to bring him a secret edict to the military department, which is too unruly!" Is this oracle true? ”

Fan Wencheng replied in Manchu: "The slave just showed it to Zu Dashou and others, and they said that it was indeed the handwriting of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. The 'Emperor's Treasure' on the top cover is also real. ”

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction and showed this edict to Zu Dashou and others. Not only let them be responsible for distinguishing the authenticity, but also make them follow themselves with all their hearts. Look, your emperor is going to negotiate peace, what else do you have to worry about guilt?

He smiled proudly and said, "Since it is written by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty himself, the seal letter is also true." It is up to you and Ganglin to discuss with the envoys of the Southern Dynasty. Ganglin understands Chinese and is convenient for deliberations. Hmph, he Emperor Ming thinks he is the Celestial Empire, the son of heaven, and despises others. The last time he sent an envoy, he also carried his edict to the military department. That tone is not like words, very arrogant and arrogant......" He looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, "Do you remember what his edict said in March this year?" Remember? ”

Fan Wencheng took out a piece of paper from the book and said: "At that time, the slave returned the original to the kings and Baylor stationed in Jinzhou and Xingshan according to the order, and returned it to the envoy, but copied a copy of the bottom and left it. The edict reads: 'Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers: According to the Ministry of Secretaries, Liao and Shen have the intention of retiring the army and relieving the people, and those who are not gullible in China and the DPRK are also because the former governors and officials have not made it clear from the facts. Today, the secretary has been acting on behalf of Chen for many generations, and he strives to ensure that he is sincere. My country is open and sincere, and it seems that it is not difficult to obey, to rely on the benevolence of heaven and life, in order to restore the old relationship of kindness and righteousness of my ancestors. Today, the special secretary acted cheaply, and the official announced that there was a confirmed letter to play! Fan Wencheng then read the attached Manchu translation, which caused Huang Taiji to laugh.

"Last time, after some reprimands from me, the envoy was not allowed to come. The edict of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty this time was honest, but it was not completely honest. Regardless of the edict of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, it is also beneficial for our country to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty. I know my strategy of breaking the Southern Dynasty, you know it in your hearts. It is imperative to negotiate peace in the light of our great Qing Dynasty. Remember, you can make peace when you can fight. I wonder what peace terms this envoy brought with him? ”

"The slave has tested Ma Shaoyu a few times, and this person is very tight. However, listening to his intentions, the emperor of the Ming State was afraid that he would first relieve the siege of Guangning, let Hong Chengchou and these tens of thousands of people return to Ningyuan, and then start negotiations on the peace between the two sides. ”

"Chongzhen child, play well with a wishful thinking! Did he really think that I was old and confused? If I opened the opening and let Hong Chengchou and these tens of thousands of people return to Ningyuan, he was only afraid that he would come back after a few days of rest in Ningyuan! In the past few years, tens of thousands of soldiers have spent countless money and grain to open up a situation, hasn't it become a mirror? A bubble?! Sue sù Ma Shaoyu! If you want to talk about peace, let's talk about it, and if you don't want to talk about it, I don't mind asking him to see how I conquer Quang Ninh! ”

For Huang Taiji and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, the tens of thousands of people in Inspector Hong undoubtedly occupy an extremely important position in their respective minds. For Chongzhen, these tens of thousands of people are nothing less than the last bit of belongings, so no matter what, the tens of thousands of people in Inspector Hong must be rescued. With this bit of belongings, he is still a little confident in speaking internally and externally.

And Huang Taiji regards Hong Chengchou, Ma Ke, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others as his hostages and bargaining chips. With these tens of thousands of horses in the encirclement, he can bargain with Chongzhen and get what he can't get on the battlefield from the negotiation table!

Unlike Ma Shaoyu, who hardly came up with negotiation conditions. Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian, Man Darhan, Ganglin and others are confident. A whole set of conditions for negotiation was come up.

In addition to the ones we have seen before, it is more specific that Huang Taiji was named the king of Liao, commanding the two guards of Liao and Shen, thinking that the Ming Ping Domain. At the same time, all parts of Liaoshen are still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty still has the jurisdiction of Liaoshen. Civilian officials can be sent to various parts of Liaoshen on a regular basis to serve as officials in various places. The Qing army was also the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court allocated no less than 200,000 silver dollars and 300,000 stone grains to the Qing army every year.

In order to ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor gave Huang Taiji, the king of Liao, the Jieyue, to conquer the Mongolians, the Saurons, Korea, Japan and other regions that did not submit.

Fields were opened at all parts of the border, and all trade between the two sides, except for the trade stipulated in the tributary trade, was carried out on a free basis, and all parties were allowed to buy and sell freely. The Ming court could send personnel to various places to collect customs duties in accordance with customs regulations, and the qiē system was the same as that in the mainland.

This peace clause has been repeatedly deliberated by think tanks such as Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng. For the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it has won an unprecedented victory in politics. Of course, only nominal. The thieves in Liaodong accepted Zhao'an, and all parts of Liaoshen returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court sent officials to govern.

The face was obtained by the Ming Dynasty, but all the inside were Liao thieves. From the time of Nurhachi's rebellion, his goal was to emulate Altan Khan and become another king of Shunyi, and after obtaining the confirmation of the imperial title, he would open a border market for trade.

If the terms of agreement are reached in accordance with these conditions. Nominally, the Liaodong rebels were the Tusi or feudal towns of the Ming Dynasty. Follow Qin Liangyu and the three ladies and others.

In his spare time, Fan Wencheng also said meaningfully to Ma Shaoyu: "If the Liao affairs are eased, the Ming court can transfer the troops of the nine sides into the Central Plains to level the Liukou, and in a few years, the Ming Dynasty will be leveled again!" ”

With this credit, Ma Shaoyu seems to have seen the moment when he entered the cabinet to pay respects.

But. The thing in front of us is difficult. How can you specialize in such a heavy thing? can only order people to fly to Ningyuan, take a fast boat to go to Tianjin, and then go to Beijing to meet Chen Xinjia. Please ask Lord Chen to make a decision for the Son of Heaven.

At the end of the recital, Ma Shaoyu deliberately added a sentence. "Day and night, I heard the sound of artillery incessantly, all of which were bombarded by Quang Ninh. The minister is dull, and I implore His Majesty to make a holy judgment as soon as possible. ”

Carefully and cautiously wrapped the secret music, sealed it with fire paint, and made secret notes in some places according to the agreement with Chen Xinjia. After completing these tasks, Ma Shaoyu relieved himself to hand over the paperwork to his confidant and ordered him to go to Ningyuan.

For the sake of safety on the road, Fan Wencheng also specially sent ten cavalry to escort him along the way.

However, they have calculated everything, but they have forgotten that there is a thing called profit in this world. There is a group or force called vested interests.

It is no secret that the emperor ordered people to negotiate peace with the envoys of the Ming State, and it is no secret among the high-level Liao thieves, and many people even know the detailed terms.

How could such a thing be concealed from the Dorgon brothers, whose power had swelled and spread to the rest of the world?

This peace agreement, which was of great benefit to Huang Taiji's faction, had been placed in front of the Dolgon brothers in Jinzhou City before the messenger departed.

"If the peace is really negotiated, it is estimated that in ten years at most, our brother will be finished!"

After hearing that his henchman had finished reading the terms of the peace to himself, Dorgon put down his cigarette pouch and coldly poured a scoop of cold water on the heads of his brothers.

"Second brother, why do you say that?"

"This peace negotiation is done, the prestige of that black fat man is in full swing, and there is no one in my Eight Banners who can compare with it. With the great merit of Yihe, the credit of our bloody battle against Tashan is insignificant. This person is mean and unkind, and belongs to the typical kind of thing that can share hardships but not prosperity. With these border markets, he monopolized the channels of foreign trade in the Qing Dynasty, monopolized trade with the outside world, and that black fat man's family was really supreme! We will all live by its breath. In a little time, he will use the advantage in his hand to tear up my two white flags! The three of you and me, without the soldiers and horses, are the fate of Mang Gurtai and Amin! ”

His words paint a terrible but absolutely real picture for Azig and the Dordor brothers. Hearing this, the two brothers were so terrified that they almost kicked open the door and fled.

"Second brother, how do you think we can save ourselves?"

"It's simple! Let the guy on the other side know about the terms of the agreement. At this point. He is our best ally. He knows how! ”

Sure enough, after receiving the reason and detailed terms of the peace quietly sent by Dolgon's order, the Guanning army led by Wu Sangui launched an even more frantic attack than when Li Huamei was supervising the battle behind him!

In three days, two key points of Baitai Mountain and Hongluo Mountain were conquered in succession.

Guan Ningjun can be said to be red-eyed officers at all levels, from top to bottom.

If the peace talks were completed, the war in Liaodong would have stopped. So. If you don't fight, what do you want the Liaodong military town to do? I'm afraid that our status will be the same as that of Qin Jun from now on! The imperial court will no longer allocate the same amount of silver and grain as the sea, what will we eat? What to wear? With what? Are you really picking up in the dirt?!

For the sake of silver, rush! Countless officers of the Ning Yuan Army and the Mountain Navy roared from the bottom of their hearts.

"For Da Ming! For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, for the robe of Quang Ninh, kill! Wu Sangui naturally couldn't be as vulgar as this group of Qiu Eight Masters, he waved his sword, and looked at the golden dragon weaving in the distance with sharp eyes.

It is a little farther away from the Tashan battlefield, and the golden dragon is woven on both sides. Dorgon and Dorgon rode side by side, and the two brothers looked at their brother from afar and comprehended some of the desperate fighting style of the Guanning army.

Under Wu Sangui's command of Ningyuan Town and Shanhai Town's repeated frenzied attacks, Azig gradually became unsupportable, and the two white flag troops began to slowly retreat.

"Straight lady thief, don't you want to fight so hard!" Although Duoduo has experienced a series of bitter battles with Li Huamei, as a bystander, he still has palpitations when he sees this scene of flesh and blood.

Dorgon waved his whip and said, "You know a, that's millions of silver a year!" ”

Duoduo didn't think so: "I think it's better to just let Wu Sangui, a mad dog, go." Second brother, you said that our sword mountain and arrow forest fought so badly. The dead black fat man in the back not only didn't appreciate it, but also thought about how to kill us all day long. I've heard that many people now say what would happen if they guarded Tower Hill. Damn, they should also go up to Tashan to try it, they can withstand the fire of Li Huamei's crazy tiger for three days without peeing their pants, and Lao Tzu will kowtow to them and admit their mistakes. ”

"Master. Do you want a minion to bring someone up to reinforce the British Lord?! Cao Zhenyan, who was already Jueluo's identity, wore the red belt that marked his identity around his waist, and waved the long knife in his hand to fight.

"No, go and tell Lord Sù Ying and take it down. Let's withdraw! Withdraw to Jinzhou! Dolgon's eyes narrowed. Looking at Wu Sangui's handsome flag at the end of the line of sight.

"Second brother, withdraw to Jinzhou? So what to do here? Duoduo was a little stunned, how could the second brother, who had never taken a step back under Li Huamei's cannonball fire, be so depressed in the face of Wu Sangui's insignificant offensive?

"You don't know what I mean, but the guy on the other side will understand!" For Wu Sangui under the other handsome, Dolgon already felt like a confidant of him at this time.

In order to continue to occupy the position of trade control with mainland merchants in the Eight Banners, mainly Long, he did not hesitate to give up the Tashan blocking position to stop Huang Taiji's peace negotiations. Because the benefits of these trade activities are staggering, amounting to millions of silver dollars every year! Relying on this silver, he was able to consolidate the interior of the two white flags, raise the clothed soldiers, and infiltrate and win over the rest of the flags. If he didn't have this status, then he and his two brothers, although they would not be immediately eliminated by Huang Taiji, were also cattle and sheep under the knife of others, and could be slaughtered at any time. Wu Sangui, the commander on the opposite side, is fighting for his own interests and the interests of the entire Liaodong Military Town! Two words, Liao!

After Wu Sangui conquered Baitai Mountain and Hongluo Mountain in a row, he went with great vigor and planted the battle flag at the head of Tashan Fort. It became the best record achieved by the Ming army since the outbreak of the Great War in Western Liaoning, when the Hongdu Division was trapped in Guangning!

With the news of this good news reaching the capital, there was also Wu Sangui's public writing.

"When the minister fought a bloody battle between Liaodong and Dongyu, he learned from the leader of the slaves and thieves that there was an official in the imperial court named Ma Shaoyu, who claimed to have the emperor's secret decree and went out of the customs to negotiate peace with the Liao thieves. The ministers also read, but when they did not hear of a bloody battle between the imperial court soldiers and horses and the thieves, the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate peace with them. If so, where will the tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers under the command of Inspector Hong who are tenacious in the ice and snow and fight with the iron horses of slaves and thieves? Where are the uncles and daughters of Ning Yuan, who will not avoid the storm for thousands of miles, and the soldiers under their command in Liaodong? The soldiers under the command of the ministers, there are hundreds of people who are buried at the foot of Tashan Mountain, and there are not many people who are broken in Hongluo Mountain. If there are traitors in the court who intend to betray the country and seek glory, the ministers should go on the horse with tears, first behead the Liao thieves, and then lead my Liaodong children to go to Beijing to plead with the princes of the court. ”

Behind Wu Sangui's inscription of Lu Bu's victory, there is an appendix with the identity and resume of the peace officials, as well as the secret edict written by Chongzhen to Chen Xinjia, and at the same time, there are also the terms of the peace agreement between the two parties.

In this way, an uproar was immediately set off between the government and the opposition in Beijing. (To be continued......)

PS: Then it's time to brazenly ask for a monthly pass.
