info Huang Taiji was very happy, with a smug smile on his fat flatbread face.

Subsequently, he arranged for the chief officials, and finally negotiated in detail with Zhou Yuanzhong and Chen Zilong The main contents of the peace negotiations between the Ming and Qing dynasties are as follows: 1. After the Ming and Qing dynasties formally signed the agreement, they stopped fighting and the two countries had peaceful exchanges, normal trade, and recuperation.

2. The boundary between the two countries shall be based on maintaining the status quo, and the boundary between Quang Ninh in the east and the border wall in the west shall be divided into the territory of the two countries.

3, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, officially married the princess of Gulun Wenzhuang of the Qing Dynasty Makata as a concubine, since then the Ming and Qing dynasties have become a country of in-laws, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty to the Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, the gift of son-in-law, the two countries are each other's country of son-in-law.

4. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty gave the Ming territory in Liaozhong and Liaonan according to the Qing Dynasty, as well as 5,000 cigarettes, 3,000 quintals of sea salt, and 1,000 horses of silk and satin, as a dowry to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty gave more than 1,000 pieces of good fur, 300 catties of ginseng, 500 deer antler velvets, 300 musks, 200 Dongzhu, and 20 Haidongqing, as a dowry for the princess.

5. After the agreement is signed, the Ming Dynasty needs to offer filial piety to the Qing Dynasty every year, including 150,000 taels of silver, 150,000 horses of silk cloth, 100,000 cigarettes, 50,000 quintals of salt, and 5,000 horses of silk.

7. This agreement, signed by the emperors of both sides, shall be stamped with the national seals of the two countries in duplicate, and shall come into force from then on and shall not be broken.

After negotiating the agreement, Huang Taiji was very happy, and arranged a feast to entertain Zhou Yuanzhong, Chen Zilong and others, and after warmly entertaining them for two days, he arranged a large number of guards to send Chen Zilong and others back to Jinzhou.

After sending off the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, Huang Taiji, who was in a very good mood, summoned a group of Manchurian magnates to celebrate in the Chongzheng Palace.

Between the Ming and Qing dynasties, this peace agreement was finally reached.

It's just that at this feast, what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that among his brothers and nephews, there were still many opposing voices.

Azig, the king of Wuyingjun, said with a displeased face: "Brother Huang, you want to be lighter, from the perspective of the courtiers, you have to double the annual filial piety of the Ming Kingdom, and I can only agree to the Ming envoy's peace request." ”

Prince Duoduo of Yiyu echoed: "That's exactly the reason! Those Ming soldiers, are my Qing Dynasty's defeated generals, have long been afraid of me like a tiger, think about every time I Qing Dynasty into the pass to plunder, which time is not invincible, harvest a lot. If you only have such a little filial piety, it is more convenient to go to the interior of the Ming Dynasty to loot and fight. ”

With the opinions of these two people as the mainstream, Daishan, Zilharang, Abatai and others on the side also seconded the proposal.

After listening to the words of the crowd, Huang Taiji sneered, he looked around the crowd coldly, and shouted: "You are saying a lot of things, don't you really think that our army will be more rich than the filial piety of this Ming people?!" ”

As soon as his coercive words came out, all the relatives and nobles suddenly did not dare to speak again.

Huang Taiji replied: "Our army has gone through three times since Tiancong entered the customs in the early years. Let's not talk about the first two times, even if it is the most recent time, in the middle of last year, King Wuying led 100,000 elite soldiers to invade the Ming Realm, which lasted more than two months, and the silver taels obtained were only 178,000 taels, thousands of silk cloth and satin, and more than 100,000 coated livestock. And because of the sneak attack by the dog thief Li Xiao in disguise, this time when he entered the customs, our troops lost nearly 10,000 people. Moreover, such a large-scale military operation cannot be launched every year, and it will take two years at the earliest to enter the customs. In this way, compared with the current Ming people who take the initiative to pay filial piety every year, as much as nearly 500,000 total filial piety gifts, entering the customs and plundering can be described as time-consuming and labor-intensive, and so on. ”

Azig listened to Huang Taiji's words, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, he scratched his head, and sneered at Huang Taiji: "Brother Huang, having said that, it's just that if I can blackmail those envoys as much as possible, so that I can get the most benefits, it would be better." ”

Huang Taiji glanced at him, but before he could speak, Prince Rui Dolgon, who had not spoken all this time, interjected: "Azig, even a simple-minded fighter like you can think of making more benefits, the emperor doesn't know?" There is a saying, don't dry up and fish, don't burn the forest and hunt, if you squeeze too hard, it will become a matter of killing chickens and taking eggs. If the Ming people cannot afford such filial piety, then is such a peace agreement a dead letter? You must know that this agreement, I have obtained huge profits in vain, and I should be content. After all, it's better to do everything in a long way. ”

Huang Taiji cast an appreciative look at Dolgon, and he nodded, "Prince Rui has a point. I have gained huge benefits in the Qing Dynasty, so I don't have to oppress these envoys too much, after all, you can only catch big fish by putting a long line. If this kind of peace can be maintained for a long time, I will gain a lot of benefits. And after a few years, when the Qing Dynasty is strong and the soldiers and horses are sufficient, it is more appropriate to force the Ming Kingdom and raise the asking price of filial piety. ”

When Azig was silent, Prince Li on the side frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if the Ming people can offer such a large amount of gifts every year, it is okay. It's just that why did the emperor agree that they used the most useless cigarettes to honor my Qing Dynasty, you know, in my Qing Dynasty, the most lacking things, in addition to silver and cloth, are ploughing cattle, grain, medicinal materials, fine iron and other commercial goods. Why didn't the emperor order them to replace the cigarettes with these goods? ”

After Dai Shan finished speaking, Prince Zheng Jierharang also echoed: "What the second brother said, it is very reasonable, not long after the capture of Shenyang, many people in the Eight Banners learned to smoke and drink, and the father Khan hated it very much, thinking that smoking such an addictive thing would greatly weaken the combat power of the Eight Banners, so he ordered the destruction of the tobacco fields planted by the Han people, and forbade the sons and nephews to smoke and drink. ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the two of them talking like this.

He knew that although Dai Shan and Zilharang were high-sounding, they were mostly empty words.

Although smoking and drinking were strictly forbidden in those days, since his death, the laws have been loosened and become useless.

Since he had just been in power at that time, he had not yet fully taken charge of Houjin, so it was impossible to impose restrictions on Qiduo.

To this day, not only are the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners accustomed to drinking and smoking, but even Huang Taiji's son Haoge has also become a big smoking gun.

From the Tiancong period to the present, the Northeast has been divided into Manchu and Han, everyone is good at smoking, even the girl and daughter-in-law are holding a cigarette holder and hanging a cigarette pouch, smoking it for fun.

There is a saying that "the three monsters in the Northeast, the girl is talking about a dry tobacco bag." ”

The people of all ethnic groups in the Northeast have long been famous for their love of smoking.

Therefore, before Huang Taiji could speak, Hao Ge frowned first and expressed his dissatisfaction to Dai Shan and the others.

"Two uncles, if you say this, the little nephew can't agree. What's wrong with the Ming people honoring me with the Qing Dynasty and cigarettes? There is a saying that a cigarette after a meal is as happy as a fairy. I'm afraid that the two uncles usually smoke this cigarette. Moreover, the Chinese brand cigarettes made by the Ming people are of very good quality, have an excellent taste, and have a cotton filter, but they are much stronger than our homemade hookahs. Especially the cigarette rolls that are as thick as fingers, what are the cigars, the taste is even better, in our Shengjing City, a piece is sold for 1 tael and 5 yuan silver. Hmph, such a good product, if you don't want it then, I'll have as many as Hauge. ”

Dai Shan saw Haoge grabbing white like this, so he said angrily: "Haoge, the king's intention is not to say that cigarettes should be completely banned, but to propose to the emperor that the Ming people do not have to offer so many cigarettes, but hope to exchange them for cattle, grain, medicinal materials and other things, these materials are the fundamental things that can make my Qing Dynasty develop and grow." ”

After listening to Dai Shan's words, Huang Taiji sighed lightly and said: "Prince Li, Prince Zheng, what you said, I also told the Ming envoy, but the Ming minister also said that now the Ming Dynasty is full of wealth and displaced people, and it is indeed difficult for a strong man to ask them to provide us with items such as grain and cattle." ”

Huang Taiji paused, his eyes became deep, and he said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, heroes and heroes, how can there be anyone who doesn't like to enjoy." I and my brothers, when I followed my father Khan to raise troops and fight everywhere, it was not to lay down a territory, establish a meritorious career, and live a comfortable life. Back then, in the old city of Feiala, my father Khan built seven large houses, and dozens of other grass houses, and the brothers and nephews lived together, fishing and hunting in their spare time, and going out on expeditions during wartime, and living a miserable life. Compared with the current affluent living conditions, I am often overwhelmed with emotion. I once admonished those who were deliberately thrifty, telling them that there is no one in the world who can enjoy indulgence and be blessed by God, and there is no one who can enjoy it and pretend to be frugal and be blessed by God. Rise or fall, rich or poor, as long as you go with the sky and do your duty, you can do your part. ”

Huang Taiji finally smiled and said: "After all, compared to drinking, there are very few people who make mistakes because of smoking. And if there is a cigarette as a companion, the soldiers can relieve fatigue and refresh, and the people can smoke for fun, but it is very useful. Besides, if I don't eat the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the cigarettes of this Ming people come in, those Mongolian and Han soldiers are afraid that they will be snatched up immediately. At that time, the subordinates and soldiers complained that the fertilizer water flowed into the fields of outsiders, but don't blame me for not reminding you today. ”

Huang Taiji's words made all the relatives and nobles of Aixin Jueluo laugh, and everyone was excited and inexplicable, and they were full of longing for the filial piety of the Ming people in the future, and the banquet became more and more joyful until late at night.

On the occasion of the banquet of a group of Manchurian nobles, Zhou Yuanzhong, Chen Zilong and others, who left the Qing Kingdom, can be said to be happy and happy.

The wilderness is vast, the warm breeze is blowing, and the envoys and ministers on the cart are full of laughter.

Zhou Yuanzhong's white eyes were tilted up, his dirty face was full of excitement and joy, he took out the wine bag on his waist from time to time, and poured it into it, and his face was even more happy.

And Chen Zilong on the side, his face was also full of joy, and his heart was even more excited.

He sighed secretly, he had finally completed the task that Li Xiao had given him.

In fact, the bottom line of the conditions set by Li Xiao for Chen Zilong is to supply 200,000 taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty every year, 200,000 taels of cloth, and a total price of 200,000 taels of cigarettes, satin, woolen and sea salt.

Moreover, except for silver and cloth, and a little sea salt, the gifts that Chen Zilong promised to the Qing Dynasty were all luxury goods such as cigarettes and silk, which had no other effect than to accelerate the corruption and degeneration of the Eight Banners.

And if luxury goods such as Zhonghua brand cigarettes can enter the high-level of the Qing Dynasty in this way and are widely popular in the Qing Dynasty, then in the future trade of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese cigarettes and other things will be highly sought after.

And what Chen Zilong is most happy about is that if the Ming and Qing dynasties stop the war in such a way as in-laws, then the Ming officials and troops will finally have a good situation where they can go all out to suppress bandits.

This is exactly the situation that Li Xiao thought of after working hard.

Tartars, don't be happy early, if I wait for the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the rogues, it will be the day of your destruction!

Chen Zilong said happily in his heart.

At a time when the envoys of the Ming State and the high-level officials of the Qing Dynasty were very happy and cheerful, there was only one woman by the window of the boudoir, secretly hiding her sleeves and crying.

This woman, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, has black hair like ink, pulled into a vertical shape, dressed in stone blue diagonal buckles, wearing gold covenants and collar covenants, no fat powder, plain face, but she can be seen to be beautiful, graceful, and her eyes are flying.

This woman is the second daughter of Huang Taiji, the princess of Gulun Wenzhuang, who had just turned fifteen years old at the time.

After hearing that the maid rushed to report that her father had reached an agreement with the Ming people to marry her to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Kingdom, instead of a happy look on her face, Makata secretly felt sad and secretly wept.

Because this good news, which seems to outsiders to be like pie in the sky, is like a bolt from the blue to Makata's own eyes.

Because Makata had met several times since he promised to be married to Ezhe, the two young men had a good impression of each other, and they were happy to have found their beloved.

Makata thought that she would spend her life with Ezhe, the head of the Han tribe who had lost her subordinates and the country, calmly and lovingly, but she didn't expect that today she would get her biological father, and he would take the initiative to break the marriage contract and remarry her to the Ming Emperor, who had never met and whose life customs were completely different, such a news shocked her to disbelief.

Makata, who got the news, hated his father from the bottom of his heart.

So, she shut herself in her room, did not eat or drink, and kept leaning against the window and crying secretly, crying from afternoon to night, her eyes were swollen like peaches.

It's just that the more tears flow, the more sad she felt in her heart.

At this time, the closed door was pushed open with a thud.

Makata turned his head in shock, and immediately found that the huge body standing in the door was his father, Huang Taiji.

The clear moonlight, quietly pouring in through the window, filled the room with an oppressive silence.

Under the moonlight, Makata could clearly see that Huang Taiji's fat face was very gloomy and terrifying.
