Hearing Aobai's aggressive and threatening words, the room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone knows that if Hao Ze can't deal with this provocation well, then the negotiations between the Tang and Qing dynasties will collapse, and Hao Zeren and the guys in the Xianwang ironware shop will be in danger.

Hauge and Sonny, pretending to be contemplative, did not stop Aobai's rude and arrogant words, and what they wanted to see most now was how Hao Zeren would respond.

Regarding the current delicate situation, Hao Zeren naturally has a deep view.

He smiled slightly, and said to the angry Aobai: "Okay, it turns out that the commander of the protector army wants to pick a soft pinch of persimmons, and he deliberately wants to threaten him." Hao was thinking, the commander of the protector army was so powerful to us that he even killed him, and we really couldn't resist now. It's just that I am thinking that if the Commander really does this, it will only be a way to bring about his own destruction, and although we have lost our lives at your hands, we are only a few steps ahead of you. “

Ao Bai was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Hao Zeren's voice continued to sound coldly: "Prince Su, I will tell you the truth, if you want to take the lives of all the people in our entire Xianwang ironware shop, it is easy to vent your anger." It's just that for you, I really don't see any practical use for this method, except for the complete defeat of you and your destruction faster. “

Haoge's face was very embarrassed, but it was inconvenient to refute, and then Hao Zeren continued to sneer and said: "Prince Su, forgive Hao for saying it bluntly, if it comes to the present, because this last article cannot be reached, and the negotiations between you and me break down, then for both you and me, the fixed interests of our Tang Army will be damaged, but you will not be able to afford the failure of the negotiation the most." “

"Shopkeeper Hao, ......what do you mean?"

Sonny interjected with a sneer, but was interrupted by Hao Zeren waving his hand.

"Scholar, Hao can say bluntly, without the assistance and rescue of our army, it would be difficult for you to resist Dorgon's first attack, let alone what happened later."

Hao Zeren smiled and said coldly: "Prince Su, from ancient times to the present, you are willing to ask other countries to send troops to help, how can you not pay half the price?" What's more, now that Prince Su's ministry has reached a life-and-death juncture, it is when assistance is urgently needed, but how can he be reluctant to give up even the three state cities? Hao is stupid, and he really doesn't know the mystery. Even if there is some criticism in the Qing court, if Prince Su is in control of the overall situation, he can completely suppress all these objections, and even blame Dolgon for the loss of the three states, which can be easily done. Prince Su, think about it, is it important to get the ruling power of the Qing Kingdom, or is it important to have the city of Sanzhou? If you can't resist and defeat Na Dolgon, and blindly dwell on these three cities, causing the negotiations to break down, and finally ruining your reputation, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future, right? Hao's heartfelt words, I hope you can think clearly! “

Hearing this, Hauge's face turned ashen, he lowered his head, and the expression on his face was very painful and tangled, like a child who has made a mistake and is waiting for punishment.

Hao Zeren sighed softly at the end: "It's a pity that the commander of the army didn't see his own difficult situation, and threatened Hao and a group of Xianwang ironware shop personnel with words. You must know that it is the thief Dolgon who wants to take your life, and the one who can save your life is the soldiers and horses of our Tang army. It would be ridiculous for you to think that you would be able to do so by threatening us. “

After Hao Zeren finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Ao Bai coldly, of course Ao Bai could understand his eyes, and his heart became more and more angry at the moment, but now he has been completely persuaded by Hao Zeren's sharp tongue, but he can't say anything more, he can only sit with heavy breathing.

There was an embarrassing silence in the room for a while.

And in the room, the most painful thing in my heart was Prince Su Haoge.

He knew that in the end, it was Hauge who coughed lightly to break the embarrassing silence, he turned his head, looked at Hao Zeren's round face in a daze, and then asked softly: "Shopkeeper Hao, is it really impossible to discuss the matter of ceding Sanzhou?" Or, you can take a look and discuss with Master Li to see if you can cut one less state......"

"Prince Su, I know your difficulties, but these conditions are all drawn up by Lord Li himself, and the regulations cannot be changed at will, and it is difficult to do anything in the future." Hao Zeren looked very embarrassed, but said with a sigh: "Prince Su, in my opinion, everything should be considered in the long run, and not limited to the present. In the following opinion, although the Qing State wants to cut these three states now, it is really a trivial effort compared to getting the entire Qing Dynasty. Besides, our Lord Li also has a lot of leeway to do things, just mentioning these three conditions, and no longer have any money and material requirements, which has given you a lot of leeway. I also hope that Prince Su will be considerate of my family, and Lord Li will work hard. ”

Hauge listened in a daze, and the expression on his face was blank. It's just that he knows in his heart that it is completely impossible to change the current established situation and change the three conditions set by Li Xiao.

Now I have no other way but to promise these three articles.

After a long time, Hao Ge finally let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since the shopkeeper Hao has said it so clearly. What else can this king say, according to the words of the shopkeeper Hao, this king agreed to these three conditions. It's getting late today, so wait until tomorrow, when the king takes the Great Seal, and our army and your Tang Army officially sign a treaty of alliance and mutual assistance. ”

When Haoge said this, he hurriedly advised: "If the covenant is signed, please ask the king of Pingliao to send troops to help as soon as possible. ”

Hao Zeren smiled and said: "Prince Su, don't worry, my Tang army will believe in what he says, as long as the covenant is certain, I will immediately tell Lord Li, and Lord Li will definitely send troops to attack Dolgon as soon as possible, but please rest assured Prince Su." ”

Hauge nodded, then stood up and said goodbye to Hao Zeren and Chen Juyi.

Hao Zeren and the others didn't stay much, and after a few kind words, they let Hao Ge and the others leave.

When Hauge returned to the house, he saw no one and sat alone in his room for the night, and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, Hauge kept his promise, and the next morning, he took the seal of Prince Su, took Sony, and personally went to the Xianwang Iron Shop, where he officially signed a "Tang Ming Alliance Agreement" with Hao Zeren.

The content of this covenant is as follows.

In order to support the righteousness and fight against the Qing Dynasty thief Dolgon, Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, and Haoge, the prince of Su, signed a covenant of cooperation and mutual assistance, and the content of the covenant is:

1. The Qing Dynasty officially recognized that in the Outer Manchurian region, north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Asu River, they were all territories under the rule of the Tang Army. The Qing Dynasty ruled the land south of the Heilongjiang River and west of the Azov River. Since then, the two countries have defined their own territory, each with its own territory, and there is no longer any need for disputes and fighting.

2. The Qing Dynasty transferred the title of the Mongol suzerainty and the title of Bogda Chechen Khan to Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, and from now on, Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, served as the Bogda Khan of Mongolia and ruled and managed the entire Inner and Outer Khalkha Mongolia. Since then, the Qing Dynasty has no entanglement with the Mongol tribes.

3. In order to thank the Tang army for its righteous deeds, the Qing Dynasty donated Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou to the Tang army, and the Tang army governed these three cities. Since then, the Tang army and the Qing Dynasty have each defended their own territory, turned hostility into friendship, and the two countries coexisted peacefully, and there was a truce.

4. On the basis of these three conditions, the Tang army should dispatch elite soldiers and horses to attack Dolgon as soon as possible, so as to help Prince Su resist his offensive, and finally assist Prince Su to ascend the throne of the Qing Dynasty and seize the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.

5. This agreement shall be in duplicate, and shall be kept separately after being stamped with a large seal, as a permanent certificate.

After signing this agreement, after vigorously stamping the seal of Prince Su on the paper where the ink had not dried, Haoge's eyes finally couldn't help but moisten.

He held back his tears and did not let the tears fall, with a stiff smile on his face, he exchanged thanks with Hao Zeren, and once again told him to immediately notify Li Xiao to send troops as soon as possible before finally leaving the country.

Haoge, who left the Xianwang ironware shop, refused the kindness of his subordinates to let him get on the horse, and walked alone in the cold wind, the wind rolled up, and his lonely figure was like a lost dog.

It is strange to say that after Haoge and Hao Zeren signed this agreement, they somehow quickly made it known to the whole city, and everyone in this Shengjing City, from the high-ranking officials and magnates, down to the Shengdou Xiaomin, actually knew that now Haoge, who occupies the Shengjing City, has signed an alliance and cooperation agreement with Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao in the Ming Dynasty, to jointly fight against the so-called national thief Dolgon.

What makes Hauge even more speechless is that the specific content of this agreement, somehow, is also known to most of the people.

As a result, as Hauge expected, the officials who remained in Shengjing City were very dissatisfied with the agreement signed by Hauge and Tang Jun, and many people complained about this pact that seemed to be almost a traitor to seek glory, but they were afraid of Hauge's power of soldiers and horses, and although there were many complaints in their hearts, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction in person.

But the people in Shengjing City are a different scene. They were afraid that Dolgon would come with a large army, but now they were all reassured, and everyone was very happy to spread the news. In their opinion, with the protection and support of the Tang army, this Shengjing City should be impregnable, and Dolgon's house, no matter how powerful it is, no matter how clever it is, it will not be able to take the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

And after this signing was signed, Hao Zeren immediately sent a flying pigeon to deliver the letter with the seal of Prince Su, and quickly passed it to Li Xiao.

A day later, Li Xiao, who was in Dengzhou, received this covenant from Hao Zeren. After reading the whole content, Li Xiao stroked his palms and laughed.

As expected, the prince of Nasu Hauge was afraid of the possible offensive launched by Dolgon, and finally agreed to all the three conditions he put forward without any objection, and Li Xiao was very satisfied with this result.

If the requirements set forth in this covenant can finally be realized, then the benefits that Li Xiao will receive are too many for him to count.

First of all, half of the land in Waiman will henceforth become his permanent territory, which can be officially resettled and developed, but there is no need to worry that the Qing Dynasty will send troops to disturb and obstruct it, and these lands, like Sakhalin and Ezo, will be well developed, so as to transform from a state of barbarism through the ages into a vibrant land.

Moreover, these lands also have a unique geographical advantage, that is, they are connected to Eastern Siberia, and if they march into Eastern Siberia in the future, these places will be excellent supply bases.

Secondly, he received the title of Mongol suzerainty and the title of Bogda Chechen Khan from the Qing Dynasty, and when he could justifiably launch a conquest campaign against the Mongol tribes, and if he disobeyed, he would punish him in the name of Bogda Khan, so as to finally unify the steppe and let the Mongol tribes all surrender to his feet.

Finally, if he owns the land of these three states, then he can use these three states as a base as an outpost for further attacks on the Qing Dynasty.

Among them, Jinzhou is the most important, because Lushun Bay in Jinzhou, because of its extremely excellent geographical conditions, can be used as the largest base and garrison of Li Xiaojun's naval division, which is equivalent to inserting an extremely sharp knife in the lower abdomen of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, if these three conditions are finally achieved, then the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty will also come to an end. Even if it will no longer take the initiative to attack it for a while and a half, the Qing Dynasty, which is in internal and external difficulties, will inevitably decline.

Therefore, after Li Xiao wrote a letter of commendation to Hao Zeren, he immediately began to arrange his troops and horses, and prepared to start cooperating with Haoge's request to launch an attack on Dolgon.

Li Xiao's orders, along with his dictation, were quickly issued to Chen Zilong one by one.

"The edict ordered Wu Zhuang, the mayor of Andong Town, and the soldiers and horses of the B Battalion of Andong Town, which was stationed in Miaojie Fort, to send a small force in turn, and with the cooperation of the local natives, to constantly harass the northern part of the Qing Dynasty, attack its outpost soldiers, behead the people of its subordinates, and capture its money, grain and materials, so that the northern border of the Qing Dynasty has been in a state of disturbance."

"The edict was ordered to conquer Duan Shiqi, the mayor of Beizhen, and Liu Wenxiu, the deputy mayor of the town, to leave one battalion of soldiers and horses to garrison Jintang City, and the remaining two battalions of soldiers and horses, after making preparations, divide the left and right wings, and immediately march to the Mongolian tribes, crusade against any Mongolian tribes who dare to disobey our army, and let all the Mongolian tribes turn to surrender to our army."

"Ordered Tian Wei, the mayor of Xingzhong Town, to make preparations for the two battalions of A and B, under the command of the king, as last time, to send troops to attack Jinfu Erzhou, and after capturing Erzhou, then take the ships of the naval division, land from Yingkou, attack Haicheng, and finally attack Liaoyang, Dolgon's old nest."

"Yes, I'm going to give the order." Chen Zilong also replied with a happy face.
