Chapter 281: Difficult Negotiations

As soon as Fan Wencheng finished saying this, the Phoenix Building suddenly fell silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw.

info Zhou Yuanzhong's face tightened, his lips opened slightly, and a pair of white eyes rolled up.

Chen Zilong on the side, the muscles on his face were also twitching slightly, and he suddenly felt a feeling of extreme humiliation in his heart.

"Two envoys, I made this suggestion, but what did you think?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent and did not answer, Fan Wencheng asked with a smile.

Listening to Fan Wencheng's forced question, Chen Zilong's heart was like a knife.

Chen Zilong, who is familiar with history, certainly knows what the so-called Song-Jin Peace Conference is.

In 1141 AD, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, signed the Shaoxing Peace Agreement with the Jin State.

The main contents of the Shao and Woo discussions are as follows: 1. Song Xiang Jin became a vassal of the Jin Dynasty, and the two sides were uncles and nephews, and the Jin Dynasty canonized King Kang Zhao as the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

2. The two countries are bounded by the Huai River in the east and the Dasanguan in the west, and the Song Dynasty divided Tangzhou (now Tanghe County, Henan), Dengzhou (now Dengzhou City, Henan), Shangzhou (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi), and Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu), a total of four states, as a gift for peace to the Jin Dynasty.

3. The Song Dynasty paid 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk cloth to Jin every year, which were paid in Sizhou every spring, without delay or underpayment.

4. Every time the Emperor of Jin is on his birthday and New Year's Day, the Song Dynasty must send an envoy to congratulate him and send a heavy gift.

Chen Zilong secretly thought in his heart, now that Huang Taiji and others are forcing themselves to apply the template of the Song and Jin peace negotiations, they undoubtedly want to greatly extort money from the peace agreement between the Ming and Qing dynasties and reap more benefits.

For the current situation, in fact, Chen Zilong and Zhou Yuanzhong have been secretly discussing for many days, and both of them have been secretly negotiating.

Of course, Chen Zilong's opinions are mostly based on the discussions and strategies that Li Xiao had told him when he was in Shandong.

Hmph, wait for the price to sit on the ground, and see how I pay it back on the ground.

Zhou Yuanzhong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard something very ridiculous.

"Envoy Zhou, why are you laughing so much, but is there anything wrong with the way I hope that the two countries will negotiate peace like Song and Jin?"

Fan Wencheng frowned, looking puzzled.

"Barbarian, Hugh has to be shocked here, answer honestly, otherwise, this king will be unkind to you!"

Hauge wrinkled his eyebrows and drank a sentence on the side.

Only Huang Taiji didn't speak, his eyes were cold and sharp, staring straight at Zhou Yuanzhong's face that was smiling quite wildly.

Zhou Yuanzhong stopped laughing, and he said in a sighing and teasing tone: "Zhou originally thought that the asking price of the Qing Kingdom would be very high, but he didn't expect that when he heard about your country's conditions today, he was so greedy and arrogant, which opened Zhou's eyes!" As soon as Zhou Yuanzhong's words came out, Huang Taiji and others were not surprised. They didn't expect that this Zhou Yuanzhong would speak so directly and slap them in the face nakedly. Hao Ge stood up, "brushed" the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and walked towards Zhou Yuanzhong angrily. "Hauge, don't be rude to the envoy, sit down quickly!" Huang Taiji on the dragon chair let out a cold drink, and Hauge stood up when he heard the sound. Gritting his teeth, he put his knife into the sheath with hatred, and turned back to sit back in his seat. "Envoy Zhou, wouldn't it be a good thing if the two countries could sign a peace agreement with Song Jin, and the two countries would stop fighting and recuperate? What is the high price of this dynasty's conditions? Fan Wencheng asked with a look of surprise. Bachelor Fan, since you said so, then Zhou also said it directly. Zhou Yuanzhong said: "When the Song and Jin Dynasty negotiated peace, the two emperors of Huiqin in the Song Dynasty had become captives, most of the land of Zhongzhou was lost, and the elite soldiers and horses were destroyed on both sides of the Yellow River. Only Zhao Gou, the king of Nakang, escaped to Hangzhou by luck and re-established the Song court and barely maintained the situation. Therefore, in such an obvious situation where Jin was strong and Song was weak, he had to agree to Jin Ren's conditions and signed the Shaoxing Peace Conference. Zhou Yuanzhong paused, and then continued: "And now, although my Ming Dynasty is full of troubles, it is still thousands of miles away, with a vast territory and many people, which can not be compared with the Song Dynasty in a remote corner." And my Ming official army and you and other battles, although there are many defeats, but the number of soldiers and horses is still considerable, the country accumulated, there are nearly one million, more elite among them, compared with the Song Dynasty when those Song troops who can't even ride horses, it should be far above it. What's more, I am the son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and I am the Ming Dynasty, whether it is prestige and benevolence, or orthodox inheritance, it is far above the private and self-taught King Kang Zhao Gou. Therefore, if the Qing Emperor wants to compare himself to the Jin Dynasty, and also compare my Ming Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, we really can't accept it! In the end, he said in a deep voice: "If the Qing Emperor wants to force us to accept the humiliating terms of the Song, Jin, and Shaoxing agreements, then forgive Zhou and others for breaking their lives, and the only way to die is to repay my great tomorrow!" After Zhou Yuanzhong finished speaking, Huang Taiji's tense face suddenly showed a gloomy color. Barbarian, don't scare me with death! Do you think you still have room to bargain with me? Waiting for the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, even if there are millions of resurgences, what can you do? Such a weak and incompetent soldier and horse, as long as there are a few more battles similar to the Battle of Salhu, you wait for the Ming army, as many as I can destroy in the Qing Dynasty! At that time, I am afraid that you want to kneel down and beg my Qing Dynasty to agree, just like Song and Jin negotiated peace, but you can't get it. Haoge on the side listened to Zhou Yuanzhong's words, but threatened with an arrogant face. As soon as Haoge finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yuanzhong and Chen Zilong with smug eyes, thinking that he could suppress these two Ming envoys. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Chen Zilong sneered, and immediately grabbed the white and said: "Prince Su, do you really think that you can defeat me Daming with such strength alone?" From the perspective of students, the reason why I was defeated by the Ming Salhu was that the coach Yang Hao was incompetent, and the second was that the Qing army learned the movement of the Ming army in advance, so it had to win by luck! When Hauge heard this, he was furious, stood up with his hand on the hilt of his knife, and shouted: "You bird, dare to make a big fuss here!" I dare to say that I won by luck in the Qing Dynasty, phew! If you don't say anything about your ugliness today, this king will definitely behead your dog! "Hauge is not allowed to be rude!" Huang Taiji on the dragon chair shouted again, and Haoge sat down hatefully. "Noble envoy, let's talk about it, why I said that the victory in the battle of Salhu in the Qing Dynasty was a fluke, I am also interested, and I want to hear you analyze it or two." Huang Taiji stared at Chen Zilong and said lightly. Fan Wencheng on the side also turned his attention to Chen Zilong, with an inexplicable chuckle on his face. Chen Zilong stood up proudly, arched his hand to Huang Taiji, and said: "Your Majesty, listen to Chen Mou tell me the truth about the state of Salhu that day." On that day, the strength of the Ming army to attack Sarhu was more than 87,000 Ming troops in the headquarters, thousands of people in the Yehe department and the Korean department, and a total of 110,000 soldiers and horses. The Ming army was divided into four routes, east, west, north and south, and divided into Kaiyuan, Shenyang, Qinghe, and Kuandian, and attacked the old city of Hetuala. Due to the fact that the intelligence of the Ming army was not secret, the direction and number of soldiers and horses attacking from all directions were all detected by the Mandate of Heaven Khan, so he adopted the combat method of coming from Ren Er several ways and I only went all the way, preparing to annihilate the Ming army branch. Among the various units of the Ming army, the Western Route Army of the General Soldier Jun Song was the most abundant, leading 30,000 soldiers and hundreds of Franco machine guns, from Shenyang to Fushun Pass to attack the East Road, and came straight to Hetuala. Due to Juniper's large number of troops, he committed the taboo of the soldiers' rash advances, and broke through to Salhu alone. The Mandate of Heaven Khan detected that the lone army of the Juniper Department was deep and there were no reinforcements outside, so he concentrated a total of 45,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners to storm the Juniper Department, and the two armies met at Salhu. Chen Zilong paused, and then said: "When the two armies were fighting, because the sky was cloudy and difficult to distinguish, Juniper ordered the lighting of the fire moment to facilitate the artillery attack in order to give full play to the advantages of firearms. Who knows, the Qing army went to take advantage of the advantages of the Ming army in the Ming and the dark, and set arrows to shoot a salvo, the arrows were like flying locusts, killing and injuring a large number of people, and then, the Qing cavalry rushed forward, crossed the trench, pulled out the fence, and captured the Du army camp. The general soldier Juniper was killed in battle, and most of the more than 30,000 main soldiers and horses of the Ming army died on the spot. After this battle, the remaining three route troops were also broken by Golgond, and since then, the Ming army in Liaodong has been defeated, and the Qing army can take the opportunity to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang with victory, laying the foundation for the entire Liaodong. Your Majesty, what Chen said, but the truth of the battle? Huang Taiji nodded imperceptibly. Haoge interjected angrily from the side: "Barbarian, even if you wait for only 110,000 soldiers and horses to come, most of them are wiped out, and there is not much left, and our army only lost more than 200 people in this battle. A sneer appeared on Chen Zilong's face, and he said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, on that day, my Ming Dynasty attacked Salhu, in fact, there are three strategies to choose from, no matter which strategy you choose, you will never be as defeated as before." "Oh, yes, please tell me more about it." Huang Taiji's face was full of interest. "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty wants to attack Salhu and destroy the best strategy of the Jin State, which is to gather 500,000 elite soldiers from the border towns of the country, and then command by a prestigious general, and even the emperor himself drove the expedition, 500,000 troops gathered in one place, and never divided the troops, so as to press the eggs with a boulder, and come straight to Hetuara from west to east. At the same time, if you order the Yehe Department to attack from the north road and the North Korean Department to attack from the east road, thinking that it is a suspicious army, and to separate and disperse the troops of the Eight Banners, then, even if your Heavenly Mandate Khan is wise and powerful, and the elite of the Eight Banners are brave and good at fighting, it will be difficult to resist this thunderous blow, and the destruction of their country is a certainty. After Chen Zilong finished speaking, Huang Taiji's face suddenly trembled, and his eyes instantly became much gloomy. However, he quickly returned to normalcy and said to Chen Zilong: "Deputy Envoy Chen, among the emperors of your country, except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, no one else will have such courage, so it is difficult to implement this rule." Let's talk about the middle way. Chen Zilong groaned slightly, and then said: "As for the middle strategy, it is that the Ming Dynasty strictly defends the Liaoshen line with heavy troops to prevent the further attack of the Jin army, and seeks a long-term plan not to win in one day." At the same time, the Jin State carried out an economic war of extermination, strictly preventing grain, cloth, fine iron, cattle, medicinal materials and other materials from entering the Jin State, so that the Jin State, which was already weak in national strength, could not get enough support, and it was difficult to expand and maintain the population of soldiers and horses in the country, just like a child who could not get sufficient nourishment, and finally had to be stillborn. At the same time, in order to speed up the destruction of the Jin State, a small group of elite Ming troops, Yehe Division, Mongolian tribes, etc., can be lured by gold silk, so that they can fight in a small way, constantly harass the Jin State, attack and kill civilians and civilians, so that everyone in the Jin State is in danger, and the social order is seriously disrupted and destroyed. After Chen Zilong finished speaking, Huang Taiji nodded heavily and praised loudly; That's a great plan! It's just that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming State can hardly have such a strict control ability to govern his subordinates, and he is powerless to crack down on and rectify the smuggling activities of border generals and businessmen. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty lacked national strength, and it was difficult to maintain the rewards for the Mongols and Yehebu, so this article was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to use. Deputy Envoy Chen, let's talk about the next step. Chen Zilong sighed and said, "As for the next strategy, when Yang Hao's troops attack the Jin Kingdom, they can maintain an undefeated situation." "Oh?" "Your Majesty, a very important reason for the defeat of the Ming army that day was because of the leakage of military information, so that the Mandate of Heaven Khan was able to calmly deploy troops and tactics. If a strict general is in charge of the troops, strictly inspects the customs and defenses, and investigates spies, except for the general generals of all walks of life, the rest of the soldiers do not know the date and direction of the march, then, can the Mandate of Heaven Khan calmly mobilize troops and break through all directions? Huang Taiji shook his head and objected: "Deputy Envoy Chen, what you said, in my opinion, is at most a delay of some time, Father Khan will never let you gather your troops and horses together, and then fight a decisive battle in Hetuala, once you know that you are marching, you will inevitably ride out in all directions, patrol and reconnoitre, and finally know the direction and number of your troops." Seeing that Huang Taiji objected, Chen Zilong chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, this is only a little reason for the defeat of the Ming army, but the key to the defeat of the Ming army in this battle lies in the major mistake of dividing the troops to attack. The originally not too strong troops were divided into four roads where each line of soldiers and horses was insufficient. Moreover, in addition to the strongest Juniper Department, the rest of the roads, Kaiyuan Ma Lin, Kaiyuan, Tieling Zhudi soldiers and horses, plus Ye He's 2,000 people are less than 20,000, the rest of Li Rubai and North Korean soldiers are 20,000, Liu Ling's headquarters Sichuan soldiers are more than 10,000 people, these three roads are too few soldiers and horses, and the road is difficult and dangerous, it is inevitable that they cannot go hand in hand with the meritorious Juniper all the way, such an unreasonable division of troops, in fact, when the plan is decided, the defeat has been decided. Speaking of this, Chen Zilong let out a long sigh: "That Yang Hao is a strategy, but he is a civil servant, he originally lost a battle in Korea, how can the generals obey him?" As the commander of the army, he did not go out with the army, but guarded Shenyang with tens of thousands of people, and it was inconvenient to dispatch and command, so how could he be undefeated? And my next strategy is to order Liu Wei to join Juniper all the way out of Fushun Pass, and the coach will be in the center all the way, escorting the surroundings with an artillery car battalion, and slowly moving forward with a dignified and upright division. If the Mandate of Heaven Khan goes to fight them, the main force of the Ming army will conquer the forts outside the pass and force Hetuala. If I go all out to attack the main force of the East Road, because my East Road soldiers are strong and have many cannons and firearms, it is impossible to be defeated in a hurry, and after leaving Fushun Pass, I can use the originally built side wall forts as a base to escort the attack, so does the emperor think that he can easily defeat my Ming official army? When Huang Taiji heard this, he smiled unconsciously, and he said loudly: "Deputy Envoy Chen is right, this is originally the strategy that the generals of the Ming army should have, but Yang Hao is too stupid." However, if you want to win in the Ming Dynasty, you can't win. At that time, there were 7,500 soldiers in each of our Eight Banners Army, all of whom were elites in a hundred battles, and the Ming army relied on the side wall to advance slowly, but if I wanted to hit near the old city, although my Eight Banners may have suffered slightly heavy casualties, but the soldiers of the Ming Army must have lost more than half. Chen Zilong sighed lightly and said, "Yes." In this battle of the Ming army, the generals were not in harmony, the scheduling was not effective, the equipment was not refined, and the soldiers were unwilling to use their lives, although the troops could gather 100,000 people all the way, and then the field battle against the Eight Banners, it was still unwinnable. This kind of play is really a last resort. If you continue to fight like this, you can maintain an undefeated situation in the end, which can be regarded as barely giving the court a handover. After listening to Chen Zilong's words, Huang Taiji suddenly asked with interest: "These three strategies, the upper, middle and lower strategies, the analysis is fine, and the moves are ruthless." I don't know, but did Deputy Envoy Chen think about it himself? Chen Zilong shook his head and said: "No, these three strategies are a general of my Ming Dynasty, and they have been dictated to students, so Chen has the opportunity to say it to the emperor today." "Oh, who is this?" "Uncle Chifeng of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao, the chief military officer of Dengzhou, is also!"
