Chapter 148: Huang Taiji Asks for New Year's Coins
Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly, he walked out of the door, walked to the window, pushed it open a little, and looked down.
I saw that there were Jianyu soldiers patrolling the streets on both sides of the inn, checking the people coming and going, and there were also Jianyu soldiers standing in front of the inn gate, staring at the guests entering and leaving.
Zhou Zheng's brows furrowed, his heart was suspicious, and his eyes looked at Huang Weihuai's door.
Huang Weihuai came back with an iron face, could it be related to him? The feast was cancelled, why?
Zhou Zheng looked at the guards who followed him and said, "Send the food to my room." ”
After speaking, he walked directly to Huang Weihuai's class room and reached out to knock on the door.
Huang Weihuai opened the door, still looking ugly, and when he saw Zhou Zheng, he was even more ugly, and said coldly: "Just stay in the room if you have nothing to do, and I will notify you if there is an arrangement." ”
There was a hint of solemnity on Zhou's front, and he said, "What's wrong?" Our inn was surrounded by the soldiers. ”
Huang Weihuai obviously knew, his brows furrowed more and more, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but the corners of his face twitched, and he said, "Come in." ”
Zhou Zheng had a bad premonition in his heart and stepped in.
Huang Weihuai closed the door smoothly, saw a lot of eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It's nothing, stay in peace." ”
With that, he closed the door.
There were a lot of people who came with them outside, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and then whispered in a panic.
Their trip was already full of danger, and now, has it been fulfilled? Jianyu wants to kill them, can't they go back?
There was a panic outside, and Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng were sitting opposite each other at the small table in the room.
Huang Weihuai was condensed, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anger.
Zhou Zheng waited for a while, saw that he didn't speak, and asked, "Something to do with Zilharang?" ”
Huang Weihuai took a deep breath and said, "Huang Taiji changed his words, he asked Lord Yuan to withdraw from the Big and Small Ling River, and the Mingjin border is on the Songshan line. He also asked the imperial court to give a 'reward' of 50,000 silver and 100,000 stone of grain every year, and also demanded that the ...... of Dongjiang Town be removed."
Zhou Zheng's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly asked, "How did you make an agreement in the first place?" ”
Huang Weihuai didn't want to talk to Zhou Zheng about this, but Zhou Zheng was the deputy envoy after all, and now that things have changed, the two of them may die in Shenyang, so he simply said: "There is no specific agreement, that is, the two sides are truce, and Lord Yuan needs time to repair Ningjin and other cities and arrange defenses." Huang Taiji has just come to power, and it will also take time, and the two sides have agreed on a two-year truce. ”
Zhou Zheng listened, becoming more and more uneasy.
Jierharang suddenly returned to Shenyang, and then Huang Taiji opened his mouth, which indicates that Huang Taiji's internal rectification is very smooth, and he has basically grasped the power, and the two-year appointment with Yuan Chonghuan may be a nonsense!
Zhou Zheng didn't know if Huang Weihuai was aware of this, or if he was just annoyed that he couldn't complete the peace talks and was detained by Jianyu.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, looked at Huang Weihuai and said, "If Huang Taiji's request is not met, will he send troops to attack Ning Jin?" ”
Huang Weihuai was stunned, paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "Jianyu's army is now conquering North Korea, and if you want to return to the division and attack Ningjin again, it will be at least July and August." At that time, Lord Yuan was almost ready, and Mao Wenlong of Phi Island had also recovered, and Jian Yu did not dare to be presumptuous. ”
Zhou Zheng's expression was solemn, fighting a war must be counted like this, where can Nurhachi get up?
There are a lot of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but the army's every move is not by those generals, but by those adults in the court.
Even, those adults can't call the shots, but public opinion, for example, Huang Weihuai in front of him, if he writes a book to express his views on the First World War and gather with the wind and clouds, then the generals on the front line have to do what they say.
Sun Chuanting insisted on Tongguan at the beginning, but as a result, the official frantically wrote a letter of impeachment, accusing Sun Chuanting of 'fearing war' and not moving forward, Chongzhen, and the imperial court forced Sun Chuanting to go to war, Sun Chuanting had to come out, and died of defeat.
After his death, the officials continued to impeach, saying that Sun Chuanting cheated death to get out, not only did not chase the seal at all, but even forced Sun Chuanting's family to death.
The stupidity of the Ming court is nothing more than this!
Zhou Zheng became more and more uneasy, looked at Huang Weihuai and said: "The situation of Jianyu is very bad, they don't produce, they only live on looting, if they get enough food from North Korea, will they directly send troops to attack Ningjin to loot grain?" ”
Zhou Zheng's hint is already very clear.
Huang Weihuai still shook his head and said: "The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if the Jianyu does not have enough food and grass, they will not start a war, if there is, they will also relieve the victims, and they will not take a stand in vain." Well, that's not something you should worry about. Let me ask you, now that the captives are surrounding us, is there a way to escape? ”
Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly cold, what kind of bullshit theory is Huang Weihuai, isn't it enough food and grass to build a prisoner who will never start a war?
Also, why did Jianyu change his attitude so much, but wanted to get out?
"Nope!" Zhou Zheng said casually.
His thoughts were racing in his mind, and he didn't expect Huang Weihuai to send the news back, Huang Weihuai himself didn't believe it, how could he make Yuan Chonghuan and the court believe it?
Huang Weihuai listened to Zhou Zheng's crisp words, snorted coldly, and said, "I didn't expect you originally!" I'll find a way to see Huang Taiji tomorrow, you stay honest! ”
Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "I have something to go out tomorrow." Before he could finish speaking, he had already turned around.
Huang Weihuai's face sank, he was extremely angry, and slapped his palm on the table.
He knew that he couldn't do anything about Zhou Zheng, so he could only hammer the table.
Zhou Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went straight back to the class room.
He lay on the bed, looking at the dark beams, thinking about his plans.
The front road does not work, only from the side.
"I don't believe it, so you will be indifferent!" Zhou Zheng whispered, his eyes gloomy.
Perhaps because of the quietness of Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng, the main and deputy envoys, this inn is also very quiet, without a trace of abnormal sound.
The Jianyu soldiers standing in front of and behind the inn had already changed shifts, and their expressions were grim, and their swords were half unsheathed.
The soldiers patrolling both sides of the street were still there, and their eyes glanced at the inn where Zhou Zheng was from time to time.
In the huge city of Shenyang, there was no one on the streets, as if they were under martial law, and they couldn't hear a single sound.
In the inn where Zhou Zheng was, several people who came to remove Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng gathered together, without a carbon stove, wrapped in bedding, whispering there, worried, afraid that they would really not be able to go back.
Early the next morning, Huang Weihuai got dressed and hurried out without eating, and repeatedly explained before leaving.
The Jianyu people did not prohibit entry and exit, but as soon as Huang Weihuai left, someone immediately followed.
Zhou Zheng sat in the hall, watching Huang Weihuai leave, and his brows furrowed when he saw the Jianyu soldiers following in a grand manner.
There were several other people who were eating together, and they looked at Zhou Zheng and stopped, their faces were all worried.
Zhou Zheng took in the expressions of several people, and said lightly: "It's okay, stay at the inn after eating, and you can go back in a few days at most." ”
When one of them heard this, he hurriedly said, "Zhou Yushi, you entered Lord Huang's room yesterday, do you know what happened?" ”
Several other people hurriedly stretched their necks and stared at Zhou Zheng, Shenyang is now a land of tigers and wolves, and they are all afraid of dying here.
Zhou Zheng finished drinking the porridge in the bowl and said, "It's nothing, just wait." ”
After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he wiped his mouth and stood up, entered the room, and after a full hour, he came out, dressed neatly, and prepared to go out.
The soldiers in front of the door didn't dare to stop it, but at this time, what was the point of stopping?
