When Zhou Zheng met Ning Wan and me, Ning Wan was still struggling with what was going on in the Ming Dynasty.

"Dingguo Gong, long time no see."

When I saw Zhou Zheng, I immediately raised my hand with a smile on my face, and I reunited with an old friend.

Zhou Zheng politely bowed his hand, looked at Ning Wan, and said, "Mr. Ning doesn't seem to be doing very well in Jianyu. ”

Ning finished me and smiled, and said, "In the next extremely human minister, why did the Duke of Dingguo say this?" ”

Zhou Zheng stood across from him and said, "Oh? Is Mr. Ning doing so well? Then I'll put Dorgon back. ”

Ning Wan's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "If Dingguo Gong is willing to do it, we can't ask for it." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded him with his hand and said, "It's still so dishonest, sit down." ”

Ning Wan looked vigilant, he was really worried that Zhou Zheng would put Dolgon back.

In the current Qing Dynasty, the internal struggle is becoming increasingly fierce, and he, a Han man, is struggling in the middle, if it were not for the support of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he would have been pulled off the horse and died without a corpse.

Even so, Daishan, Zilharang, Nikan and others still fought very fiercely with each other, especially in the battle for the army.

Zilharang was a royalist who mastered the two yellow banners, the most elite and numerous of the eight banners, Nikan and Daishan controlled the other four banners, and two more banners were nominally in the hands of Dolgon, but in fact were in the hands of Duoduo.

Duoduo, Daishan, and Nikan faintly formed an alliance, constantly expanding the army, and also placing people in the court, and the posture of grabbing class and seizing power is still unscrupulous.

If Dolgon returns, the situation will inevitably change dramatically, and the situation in Shenyang will change unpredictably!

Ning Wan and I sat opposite Zhou Zheng, completely different from the relaxed temptation in the face of Lu Xiangsheng, I felt unprecedented pressure, and even breathing was a little difficult.

Ning Wan took a sip of tea, kept looking at Zhou Zheng's face, saw that his expression was relaxed, but it didn't look like his power was restricted, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Dingguo Gong, we have agreed on a mutual market, I hope you can fulfill your promise." ”

Ning Wan and I reached an agreement with Zhou Zheng a few years ago to exchange markets, but in fact it was a one-sided peace, and the Ming Dynasty defense line advanced hundreds of miles to the north, and Jianyu did not get the actual benefits, except for luxury goods.

Zhou just took a moment and said: "This is a little strange, I have already approved the mutual market, if Mr. Ning can't buy what he wants, he can't put the responsibility on me." ”

Ning Wan knew that such a battle of words and tongues was not beneficial, and said directly: "Dingguo Gong, Ming people don't say dark words in front of them, to this point today, I hope that Dingguo Gong will consider it carefully, let the two countries live in peace forever, and abandon the war, this is the best choice for our two countries." ”

Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "Horqin will no longer support you, what are you going to fight with us?" In less than five years, I will be able to move north. ”

Ning Wan stared at Zhou Zheng, his face was unprecedentedly solemn, and said: "Dingguo Gong, forcing us into a desperate situation is definitely not a good choice for the Ming Dynasty!" The Great Wall is so long, can you hold it one by one? If my army enters the customs again, can you still control the impact on the Ming Dynasty? Even so, we break into Liaodong, can you stop it? If we want to break through this northern city, it won't take long at all......"

This is actually what the Ming Dynasty was worried about, the Jianlu is a fishing and hunting people, and the relationship with the nomads is very close, forcing them to become nomads, the Ming Dynasty can't stand Liaodong at all, and is always under the military threat of the Jianlu, for the Ming Dynasty, it is completely worth the loss!

Unless the main force of Jianyu can be eliminated in one battle, the Northern Expedition is a meaningless war with great risks.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said unhurriedly: "If you do this, I can't ask for it, what I'm worried about is that you will be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

The corners of Ning Wan's face straightened, and he knew that Zhou Zheng's tactics for Jianyu had always been very simple, that is, to exchange lives for lives and consume their vital strength.

Their biggest disadvantage is that they are sparsely populated, and it hurts to die a single one, and it takes a long time to make up for it. Today, the disaster continues, and they have no food to replenish from outside, so it is very difficult for them to survive.

Ning Wan took a deep breath and said, "Dingguo Gong, what is your situation in the Ming Dynasty, we know each other. If you really want to go to war, you will have absolutely nothing to gain, and if you lose, your position will definitely be unstable. So many people who oppose you in the Ming Dynasty are waiting for an opportunity, and your little emperor is almost an adult, you don't want to hear about it now, and you don't need to say much about the end. ”

Zhou Zheng had no interest in these clichés, and said lightly: "If you are begging me to give you food, don't think about this, tell me your true intentions." ”

Ning Wan frowned, and sighed lightly in his heart, Zhou Zheng was so resolute, he really couldn't get any benefits.

Ning Wan looked around, saw that Lu Xiangsheng was not there, was silent for a moment, and said: "First, the Ming Dynasty can no longer advance northward, if it is moving, we will start a war." Second, you can't move troops in Horqin, otherwise you will start a war. Third, the mutual market was canceled, and the garrison in the north of the town must not exceed 3,000, otherwise the war would begin. Fourthly, you must not intercept our sea vessels, or you will go to war. Fifth, withdraw your people in Shenyang, otherwise none of us will be left. Sixth, we want to marry the emperor of your country. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood Ning Wan's true intention.

This last one is my purpose!

Marry the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

The faces of Liu Liuzhe, Lu Xiangguan and others who were present changed slightly, they couldn't have imagined that the Jianyu people were fighting this idea!

Zhou Zheng shook his head calmly and said, "Impossible." ”

Ning Wan was also very calm, and said: "I think that the emperor of your country may be willing, and the government and the opposition of your country may also be willing." In this way, if you can exchange peace in Liaodong for years or even decades, you will not refuse. ”

It stands to reason that it is indeed possible that the Ming Dynasty has been annoyed by Liaodong, and if it is really peaceful, they may agree.

Zhou Zheng was still very calm and said, "The court, I have the final say." ”

Ning Wan has a headache in my head, Zhou Zheng doesn't eat oil and salt, and he lacks the capital to negotiate, so he is completely passive.

Ning Wan thought about it, took out the last hole card, and said: "If the Ming Dynasty is willing to agree, we are willing to surrender and accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty." ”

This is Ning Wan's last concession, and there is no way to change it.

If Huang Taiji was alive, he would definitely not agree. But they have come to a dangerous juncture, they do not have the ambition and courage of Huang Taiji to break into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and plunder, and they will not succeed.

If they want to get a lifesaver from the Ming Dynasty, they are willing to bow their heads temporarily and wait until they get through this catastrophe.

Zhou Zheng didn't know Ning Wan's idea of fighting, and said directly: "Liaodong was originally the land of my Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi is a rebellion, we have never recognized your founding of the country, where did you come from to canonize it?" If you want to make peace, you go to the country, the so-called emperor, the queen mother, and the hundred officials of the imperial court, tie your hands and go to Beijing to plead guilty, and hand over all the troops to me. ”
