Chapter 635: Negotiation
Before Ning finished my words, Zhang Heyi, who played the role of blackface, interrupted with a cold face and said: "What you said, I have more than you, if you need it, you can exchange it with us for silver." ”
Ning Wan's expression did not move, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zheng Xibo has always been sharp-minded and transparent, and he must understand the meaning of the foreign ministers, so let's get straight to the point." ”
Zhang Heyi raised his chin and said condescendingly: "You just can't hold on, you want to exchange markets and get grain from me, do you think we will agree?" If you starve to death, will you not be the most worthy of our hearts? ”
Ning Wan's expression was calm and slightly solemn, and said: "We will not wait to starve to death, if it is really a last resort, whether it is Liaodong or entering the fortress again, we will take a risk, these are not what Zheng Xibo wants to see." Zheng Xibo is ambitious and is about to concentrate on internal affairs, how can he allow me to enter the customs again and come to the city with troops? ”
Zhang Heyi sneered and said, "Do you dare to come?" If you dare to come, I'll let you all stay! How many troops do you have left? Thirty thousand, twenty thousand? Even if the Mongolian side is still willing to form an alliance with you, how many can there be? Do they still dare to go against me? ”
Ning Wan's expression did not move, and he did not immediately refute it for the first time.
Since Zhou Zheng joined the army, the combat strategy in the face of Jianlu has always been 'bloody', using all his strength to fight out Jianlu's living force and constantly consume them.
This was a very helpless strategic means, and the Ming Dynasty paid a huge price, and Liaodong was almost emptied. But the Manchus also paid a huge price, and there were already insufficient troops, and now in the past few years, only 20,000 people can get on the horse.
With the decline of the Manchu Qing power, the Ming Dynasty continued to achieve victories, and the Mongol tribes allied with the Manchu Qing also moved, and the relationship with the Manchu gradually became less solid.
In addition, under the natural disaster, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not produce, and there was a great internal crisis.
Therefore, the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very bad, with internal and external troubles!
This is also the fundamental reason why Ning Wan secretly came to the capital to see Zhou Zheng!
Ning Wan was silent for a while, looked up at Zhou Zheng again, and said, "I believe that Zheng Xibo will not give us a chance to fight to the death, so that Da Ming will bear an unimaginable price." The nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will have no more peaceful days. ”
Zhang Heyi, as Zhou Zheng's confidant, naturally knew about Ning Wan's arrival for a long time, and there was also a discussion within the Zhou family.
Hearing that Ning Wan was going to 'shop', Zhang Heyi stopped stimulating and looked at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng looked at Ning Wan, smiled faintly, and said, "The northwest must be, I plan to carry out a northern expedition." It doesn't matter if you succeed or fail, as long as you move, you will be consumed faster. And, Dongjiang Town, Liaodong will keep moving, I believe that if this continues, you can only hold out for a year at most. You said that you want to fight to the death, and I also want to see if Huang Taiji still has the heart and courage after so many years. ”
Ning Wan kept staring at Zhou Zheng's face while I was talking. Zhou Zheng's expression was flat, his eyes were firm, and he couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood in these words.
Ning Wan took a breath to himself, stared at Zhou Zheng with burning eyes, and said, "Zheng Xibo, with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, I can't do what you said." And if you lose once, it will break your faith. When you don't have enough strength to decide on the Northern Expedition, everything is just a matter of words. We have only one condition: mutual market. Now it's Siber's turn. ”
Zhang Heyi saw that Ning finished and I had a direct showdown, knowing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had really reached a dead end, otherwise he would not have come to sue for peace in such a 'low voice'.
Zhang Heyi glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "First, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went to the country. ”
"Impossible!" Rather finish, I said flatly.
Zhang Heyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'd rather finish me and think clearly before speaking." ”
Ning Wan took a deep breath, calmed his face, and said, "It is a matter of national ancestry, and we definitely have no room for negotiation on this point. I know that the emperor of your country will change the yuan next year, and when the time comes, my emperor will send important people of our dynasty to congratulate him with heavy gifts. ”
Zhang Heyi was a little surprised in his eyes this time, Huang Taiji's concession was a bit big, putting the Manchu Qing in the status of a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Heyi glanced at Zhou Zheng, who had the same look on his face, and continued: "Second, you return the people, property, and livestock that you have plundered since Chongzhen. ”
Ning Wan I didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to make this request, thought twice, and said: "We can return it one after another, and pay it off within three years." ”
Zhang Heyi immediately said: "Before February next year, half of it will be repaid." ”
The Manchu Qing Dynasty now relied on the Han people who plundered the past to farm the land and collect a little bit of poor grain, and if they returned what Zhang Heyi said, their vitality would inevitably be greatly damaged.
Ning Wan said, "One-tenth." ”
"One in five." Zhang Heyi said.
Ning Wan gritted my teeth and said, "Okay." ”
Zhang Heyi smiled on his face, and then said: "Third, we must re-demarcate the territory, from the Great and Small Ling River to the Taizi River, the peninsula in Liaodong, and the Yalu River to Phoenix City, all belong to my Ming Dynasty, and you must not cross the border." ”
Ning Wan looked at Zhang Heyi, turned to Zhou Zheng again, and said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and I have no right to decide." ”
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Negotiation takes time, it is a run-in process with each other, don't worry, take your time, we have time." ”
Which 'we' does this 'we' refer to?
Ning Wan was angry in my heart, Zhou Zhengming was threatening!
Zhang Heyi smiled and said, "Fourth, every year, 10,000 war horses, 500,000 silver, and 100,000 gold are tributed. ”
"Okay." I didn't even think about it, so I agreed. They can do that.
Zhang Heyi stared at Ning Wan and said, "Fifth, in the next three years, your soldiers and horses will not be allowed to leave Shenyang, and they will not be allowed to crusade or support. ”
After Ning Wan, my eyes opened slightly, looked at Zhang Heyi, turned to Zhou Zheng again, and after a moment, said, "Conquer Xibo, where do you plan to use troops?" ”
Zhang Heyi said: "You don't have to ask about this. ”
Ning Wan I have actually guessed in my heart that the Ming Dynasty can use troops abroad, and it is estimated that the only people they support are the Mongolian tribes.
After thinking about it for a while, I said, "I need to ask my emperor." ”
Zhang Heyi smiled and said, "It's okay, what we have is time." Sixth, I will change the yuan to His Majesty next year, and Huang Taiji must write a congratulatory form and use the word 'minister', and there is no room for maneuver in this regard. ”
Ning Wan's brows furrowed deeply, and he sighed in his heart, helpless.
If there was a way, he would not have come here to sue for peace.
Ning Wan said, "I need to ask my emperor." ”
Zhang Heyi didn't care, and said: "Seventh, you need to show sincerity, and it must be extremely important to send a proton to our court." ”
At this point, I didn't care about Ning Wan, and said, "You can choose me as a prince." ”
Zhang Heyi shook his head and said, "In addition to a prince, there is also one person to accompany him, so let's do Dolgon." ”
