Chapter 370 Peace Talks 5000 Words Big Chapter
Hong Chengchou obeyed Dolgon's order, took more than 100 entourage guards, got on a big boat, waved the banner of peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, and drove over from the mouth of the Sancha River.
Among the more than 100 entourage guards, there is also a special figure, this is Su Moer, who is dressed as a man, this stunning beauty with unique skills is all the hope of the Qing Dynasty for this peace talks.
She in a small hat in Tsing Yi looked like a jade-faced scholar at this time, standing next to Hong Chengchou, and like a scholar of his.
This master of the Qing Dynasty Palace was not calm in her mind at this time, like a surging river, thinking about how to complete the task assigned to her by Lafayette, this task was special and the responsibility was heavy, and she felt a little pressure.
Because she was engaged in a decapitation operation, although she was highly martial arts, it was the first time for her to do so.
Her ability turned out to be just to protect her Lafayette. Because at that time, Zhezhe (the name of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang) married from Horqin to the Qing Dynasty, which was not a simple royal marriage, because it had strong political overtones.
They were the political ties of the Mongol Horqin tribe and the Manchurian Tatars. The tribal chieftains of Horqin knew very well that the harem of the Qing Dynasty was intrigued, fighting each other, fighting for power, fighting for jealousy, and it was also bloody, and even the struggle between women was even more tragic than that of men, and it was necessary to ensure that the political tool of Zhezhe was smooth sailing.
In that environment, for such a purpose, Su Moer is the most suitable candidate for their marriage.
Her task is not only to serve the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, but more importantly, to be her personal bodyguard, protecting her personal safety in spaces out of the reach of the army and palace guards.
Su Moer, who was born in an ordinary family, is extremely intelligent, ingenious, and has an extraordinary ability in her teens, in addition to female workers, she is proficient in Mongolian and Manchu, and more importantly, she has practiced a good martial arts, good at horseback archery, and proficient in Mongolian swordsmanship.
In the nearly 20 years that she followed the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to the Qing Dynasty, she appeared as a personal maid, giving people a soft and delicate image.
But over the years, her martial arts have not fallen at all, and she has used the special work of being a female worker to realize a set of jade girl acupuncture, every night in the dead of night, she secretly practices this needle, and now 12 flying needles are 100 shots.
Su Mo'er's true skills were only known to a very few people, including the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, until that day later, Dolgon discovered her secret.
For Su Mo'er, it is very easy to protect the Queen Mother and serve the Queen Mother, but this time she knows that this task is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Hong Chengchou, who has been immortal several times, now his mood has been adjusted, it seems that he has a fate with a traitor in his life, and this traitor is not good, as long as he does not die, he is destined to be a traitor.
This is the will of God, and since this is the case, don't fight against fate, because smart people don't fight with heaven.
Hong Chengchou has already forgotten the heavy oath before the execution of the big sentence and what he should not be a traitor for eight lifetimes, but he can't forget it, he is in the den of the tiger and wolf, and only by being with the tiger and wolf can he compromise and seek perfection.
Retreating from the path of traitors, he didn't think about it, but the key is that Lin Yi didn't even have a word of persuasion, so how could he be embarrassed?
No matter how he Hong Chengchou renegades, he is also a face-saving person after all, and he can't kneel on the ground and beg for mercy as soon as he meets, and ask Lin Yi to promise him to be a "Tartar traitor" again!
You must know that when he was defeated and captured, the betrayal of the Ming Dynasty was also quite tortuous, at the beginning, who came to persuade him to surrender and scolded, the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, including traitors, came to persuade him to betray the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he scolded at least a dozen of them, and in the end, if it wasn't for Xiaozhuang's damn gentleness to break through his defense, he could still insist.
And now there is not even a person to persuade him to surrender, not to mention the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, even if a pawn of the Ming Dynasty has his own face, this shows that the Ming Dynasty can no longer tolerate him.
Although there were several twists and turns, and he brushed shoulders with capital punishment several times, in the end, the Qing Dynasty did not touch a single hair of his hair, and now he is still entrusted with important tasks, which shows that Xiaozhuang and Dolgon are still very kind to him.
If the traitor is like this, what can the husband ask for?!
Hong Chengchou stood at the bow of the boat, reminiscing about the past, the tide of thought rolling, and there was an urge to compose poetry.
But when he thought of the next step of the peace talks, he still had to deal with Lin Yi, and he suddenly felt excited, and the little poetry that had just risen was diluted again.
Lin Yi's voice and smile appeared in Hong Chengchou's mind again. His several ups and downs, and his brushes with death, were all caused by him. If it weren't for him, the Ming Dynasty would have been finished long ago. I hope that Su Mo'er can succeed this time, slaughter this hateful guy, and vent the evil anger in her chest for herself......
Lin Yi ordered Zhang Hua to send the special way of thank-you credit to the Manchu Tartars, and then they began to discuss the matter of peace talks.
Lin Yi knew that now the Qing Dynasty was obviously unable to hold on, and it was worse than the tragic situation of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon could only make the Ming Dynasty withdraw if they sat down at the negotiating table.
Just like Emperor Chongzhen at that time was desperate and had to secretly send people to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty.
This is also the reason why he threw out the olive branch of peace talks at that time, which was able to make Hong Chengchou and the Manchu Tartars come into line.
In fact, peace talks were not Lin Yi's original intention, and now the Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, and it is completely qualified to conquer the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, Lin Yi's proposal was to promote the realization of the plan of exchanging horses for dead people for the living.
I didn't expect to be bitten by Hong Chengchou and these Tartars now.
Since the Qing Dynasty is willing to negotiate peace, it is not a bad thing, as long as they can agree to their own conditions, the two sides will cease to stop fighting, put swords and guns into storage, and put horses in Nanshan, and the two sides will live in harmony and have friendly trade exchanges.
But what conditions do the Qing Dynasty need to agree to them, what to talk about during the negotiations, and who will come forward to negotiate with the Qing envoys, of course Lin Yi will not come forward to talk to them directly, which will lose his identity as a Ming prisoner.
Unless the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon came to negotiate with him in person, it was possible for Lin Yi to come forward and sit at the negotiating table, but this was impossible.
Of course, the specific details of these peace talks must be studied in advance.
However, Lin Yi already has a suitable person in his heart for negotiation, that is, his think tank Song Xiance.
Now he called Song Xiance to the front to teach him face-to-face, and drafted a few terms, if the other party agreed, they would really withdraw their troops.
But negotiation is like doing business, buying and selling are not consistent, bargaining is indispensable, Lin Yi and Song Xiance also set a bottom line.
Song made these suggestions in mind.
This predetermined clause, Xiao Ying and Zhezhe were pointing fingers beside them, muttering, Zhezhe asked her to be quiet, and finally Xiao Ying couldn't help but come over and say to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, these are too harsh, can the Tartars agree?" ”
Lin Yi pressed her little head, "Silly girl, it's better if they don't agree, I'm afraid they agree!" Then continue to teach them a lesson, and fight until the Jingshi of the Qing Dynasty and take their Wang Bawo. Over the years, they have gone south for no reason to enter the customs, stepped on the Central Plains, provoked wars, attacked cities and plundered land, burned and looted, and committed heinous crimes. There is nothing so cheap in the world, they have to pay for their barbaric behavior, and they don't make the Manchu Tartars pay a price, I am angry! ”
Zhezhe also interjected this time: "Brother Lin said well, but no matter what else it is, just this one, how much silver can they have, can they take it out?" If you can't take it out, isn't this one in vain? ”
Lin Yi smiled: "Ha, if you can't take it out, you can divide it, let them spit it out twice as much as they ate before!" ”
Here, Song Xiance echoed: "They really have to agree, and the annual savings of these Manchu Qing Tartars are equivalent to nine times out of ten to serve the Ming Dynasty." ”
Lin Yi said: "If they are defeated, they must be punished and punished, war is never free, and the cost is low, it is absolutely not okay, let them work for Daming for a few years first, and then let's see if they dare to be restless and guard themselves in the future?" ”
"Brother Lin, say this sentence again just now, say it slowly......" Xiaoying felt that Lin Yi's words were too classic, there was no one in the book at all, it was simply a celebrity epigram, so she hurriedly found something to write it down, which made Zhezhe look at her and laugh.
Then Xiaoying said again: "Brother Lin, who might be the one who came to talk with us this time?" ”
Lin Yi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, those high-level leaders of the Tartars shouldn't come, they may be a big traitor, either Ning Wan me, Fan Wencheng, or Hong Chengchou." ”
"Hong Chengchou? This big traitor is estimated to have died a long time ago, Brother Lin's dead man for living and that letter are so classic, and he can't be killed? Xiao Ying's eyes widened, and she looked surprised.
Song Xiance analyzed: "If you don't die, you have to shed your skin, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon are not idle people, and it is difficult to say whether they will kill Hong Chengchou or not after they stare at them, because this big traitor is still very valuable to them."
……
On the day of the scheduled peace talks, the wind and sunshine on the banks of the Sancha River are beautiful, the spring is bright, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is picturesque.
Near noon in the morning, Lin Yi suddenly received a report that the Qing Tartars had sent a ship under the banner of peace talks.
"Sure enough, it's really punctual, tell the soldiers and artillery battalion brothers along the coast, let them land safely."
"No." His men agreed, and passed on his orders.
Sancha Estuary. The muskets, bows and arrows, and red-coated cannons on the Ming army's side had long been aimed at this boat in the river.
With a single order, the ship can be wiped out in an instant.
However, no one in the Ming army dared to fire first.
The ships that came from the Qing Dynasty to negotiate peace soon docked, and the one in charge of receiving them here was the Ming general He Renlong.
He Renlong, a tiger general, was almost slaughtered by Sun Chuanting back then, if it weren't for Lin Yi to save him from dying, He Renlong's history would not have changed.
It is precisely because Lin Yi's crossing has also changed his fate, and now that he is serving under Lin Yi, he is grateful to you and loyal, not so much that he is sworn allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, but rather that he is swearing allegiance to Lin Yi, and even more loyal than Zu Keyong, who was born in Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, and has made many military exploits, and is very valued and loved by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi secretly sighed every time he saw him make military exploits, such a loyal and commendable tiger general, Sun Chuanting was killed in history, it was really a tyrannical thing, this is a rare general in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, now Lin Yi asked He Renlong to be in charge of the defense of the bank of the Sanchakou River, and the task of welcoming Hong Chengchou to abandon the ship and go ashore naturally fell on his head.
He Renlong knows Hong Chengchou too well, they used to be officials in the same dynasty, a few years ago Hong Chengchou was the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, and was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to encircle and suppress the Ming thieves Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Hui Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai and other thieves, He Renlong, as the chief military officer, is one of the capable generals under Hong Chengchou.
At that time, He Renlong was very long-faced for Hong Chengchou, and he was defeated by thieves several times, and chased Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, etc., to the sky and the ground, and was called He Maniac.
I didn't expect it to be 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, and now the two of them have become enemies of the two countries, this time Hong Chengchou came to negotiate on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, and it was He Renlong who came to lead the team to greet him, none of these two expected.
As soon as He Renlong saw Hong Chengchou coming, his heart turned over, and he scolded that this big traitor was just put back by them Lord Lin a few days ago, and he rushed back to negotiate on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, which is really not small!
He Renlong ordered Pegasus to deliver a letter to Lord Lin, and at the same time greeted Hong Chengchou and his group who came to negotiate on the shore to get off the boat.
Although they are now enemies of the two countries, they are not at war now, and they must be treated with hospitality.
So as soon as they met, the two old acquaintances exchanged pleasantries.
Once the two of them were still superiors and subordinates, Hong Chengchou saw He Renlong, he didn't pretend to be close, he didn't pretend to be close, he didn't speak, he first piled up a smiling face, and he asked for warmth.
He Renlong was also happy to entertain on the surface, he used to be very respectful to his former superiors, but now it was at most a superficial feeling, and behind his enthusiastic gaze was extremely contemptuous, and he even felt ashamed that he had been his subordinate.
The dignified ministers of the Ming Dynasty have fallen to the step of being a traitor for the Tartars, and they have all fallen below the horizon, the older this old man gets, the more confused he becomes, and he has such a high level of knowledge and skills.
What are you doing badly, why do you have to be a traitor to the Tartars? Defeated, it's a big deal, it's a death! Even the most odious thieves in the country are a hundred times stronger than the traitors of the Tartars.
Those guys are said to be not human, and the hair left by their ancestors actually made it look like that, saying that they are bald but not completely bald, saying that they are not light, and they shave their heads like that and leave a thin and long braid, people are not ghosts, they are disgusting to death.
If it is said that he was captured by the Tartars last time, Hong Chengchou was forced to survive in order to survive, which can be regarded as excusable. But just now Lord Lin captured him, why didn't he repent and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? Have you forgotten that his ancestors were Han Chinese? What a shame for the Han people, ahhhh
He Renlong couldn't wait to spit out his mouth secretions.
After the two people greeted each other, surrounded by the generals, He Renlong led the personal guards to open the road in front, and Hong Chengchou led a group of more than 100 people to drive the big car and the small car to follow closely.
Of course, the car was not loaded with knives, guns, explosives, guns and bullets and other ordnance materials, but gifts prepared by the Qing Dynasty for the Ming Dynasty, as well as other things that were used by the more than 100 people in this peace talks.
When he got off the ship, the Qing soldiers took the initiative to open it for inspection, and He Renlong's subordinates had already seen it carefully, and there was no problem.
Of course, Hong Chengchou did not come empty-handed in this peace talks, and brought some gifts to Lin Yi, some gold, silver and jewelry, as well as mink, deer antler, ginseng and other local specialties of the Qing Dynasty.
As the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou certainly had a rhetoric for bringing some gifts.
First, because their negotiations cannot be completed in one day, and the major negotiations between the two countries cannot be completed in a few words, not to mention that Dolgon also wants him to delay as much time as possible, which has left enough time for Su Moer's actions.
Therefore, more than 100 of his people have to eat and live in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, and it is possible to live for three days, 5 days, 10 days, and 8 days like guests.
What's more, the military camp of the Ming Dynasty is not their hotel, as the enemies of the two countries, how can the Ming Dynasty have any obligation for them to eat, drink, and Lazar? Therefore, the gifts they brought with them were counted as a compensation for their food, drink, and shelter during the negotiations, which was a matter of etiquette in the negotiations.
The second point is that these gifts they brought are worth a lot of money, it is estimated that more than 100 of them eat, drink and use Lazar, according to the most expensive price of staying in a hotel at that time, they can't use it up for half a year, which has the meaning of giving gifts to the Ming Dynasty.
There must be something to ask for, that is, to make this negotiation can be successfully completed, the Ming Dynasty can raise its noble hand, open the net, and the conditions put forward are not too harsh, it is best for both sides to accept it, and then the two sides shake hands and make peace. Just like Linyi said before, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, from now on, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is good-neighborly and friendly.
When Emperor Chongzhen sent peace talks, he also gave a generous gift to the Qing Dynasty, which seems to have become an international practice.
To put it bluntly, Daqing used this way to express his confession, implying that I am giving you a gift now, do you still want to beat me?
It's like two people fighting, one party admits intimidation, apologizes, and promises to treat the matter to end the matter, and the other party also takes a step back, the sea and the sky, and they are still friends when they meet again.
The country is the same, the country is similar to the family, and if it is smaller, the two countries are similar to two people.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp of the Ming army, Lin Yi, who was already neatly dressed and covered in armor, appeared near the camp gate with Song Xiance, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and other generals and the guard battalion led by Zhang Hua.
"Lord Jianguo, you are polite in Xia Hong Chengchou." As soon as Hong Chengchou saw Lin Yi leading someone to greet him in person, pretending to be flattered, he got off his horse and walked close with his fists in his hands and swept the floor.
Lin Yi laughed, "Lord Hong, don't come unharmed, welcome, welcome, inside, please!" ”
