Hearing Li Xiao's three conditions, Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang were stunned for a moment, and both of them couldn't react for a while.

It turned out that they thought that Li Xiao would take the opportunity to ask Haoge to make a big sacrifice of goods and property, and even take the opportunity to ask Haoge to forcibly demarcate the border between Tang and Qing, but they didn't expect that Li Xiao's appetite was so big, this was just tearing off a big piece of fat from the Qing Dynasty, which was almost like almost dismembering the Qing Dynasty!

This King of Pingliao has a really big appetite.

This not only wanted to monopolize almost the entire Outer Manchurian region, but also allowed the Tang army to conquer the Mongol provinces to replace the Qing Dynasty as the suzerainty of Mongolia, and forcibly occupied the three states of Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou.

Seeing that Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang both looked hesitant and thoughtful, Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

These two most intimate praise paintings, it seems that in their hearts, they still think that the conditions they put forward are too strict, so they dare not second.

Li Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "Two, do you think this king's asking price is too high? Definitely. In the eyes of this king, now that Hauge is in a predicament, he is a person who is about to drown, even if it is a straw, he must try his best to grasp it, these three conditions, Hauge Na, even if he wants to agree or not, he will not be able to do it. ”

Chen Zilong arched his hand and replied: "Lord Li, I am thinking about it, your three conditions, although that Haoge may be afraid of Dolgon's powerful offensive, in order to save his life, he can only temporarily falsely agree. However, if it is not fulfilled in the end, it will be difficult to implement the agreement. ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Wozi, you are too worried." These three conditions are the result of careful consideration by the king, and if Nahaug is willing to ally with our army on these terms, then he will have no choice but to fully comply with these terms. Moreover, these clauses seem to have seriously damaged the interests of the Qing Dynasty, but if you analyze them carefully, you will find that these clauses are completely within the scope of the Qing Dynasty's tolerance. ”

Li Xiao paused, and then continued to explain to the two: "In this way, this king will explain to you in detail, so that you can see the three conditions proposed by this king, why the Qing Dynasty finally had to agree." ”

"First of all, let's look at the first article, this king intends to make the vast area of Outer Manchu north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Azov River recognized by the Qing Dynasty as the scope of our army's rule, and the border between the two countries is bounded by the Heilongjiang River and the Azov River. For this article, in fact, now, because of the construction of the Temple Street Fort and the Vladivostok Fort, our army has actually laid two unbreakable nails in this Outer Manchurian region, and the local natives have obeyed the management and Xuanhua of our army, and the influence of the Qing Dynasty on these areas can be said to be minimal. Such an area of Outer Manchukuo is actually in a state that the Qing Dynasty can no longer control, so go one step further, let these areas be fixed in black and white, and let them become the new territories under the rule of our Tang Army, for the Qing Dynasty, it is just a matter of face, so what's the matter? ”

When Li Xiao said this, Jiang Yueguang nodded again and again, and interjected: "Lord Li is right, I want to come to the current local aborigines of Waimanchu, under the headhunting policy of our army, constantly harassing small groups of Qing troops and Manchurian Tatars, in exchange for the rewards of our army, these local natives, for the Qing Dynasty, are like gadflies that keep sucking blood, making them unguarded and tired. If they can stop such endless attacks through peace treaties, it should be something that the Qing Dynasty cannot ask for. ”

After Jiang Yueguang finished speaking, Chen Zilong also took over and said: "The students also figured it out, thinking that these Tartars, after paying a huge price, casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even the emperor was seriously injured and could not be controlled, they failed to conquer Vladivostok Fort, so if they want to control the entire Outer Manchurian region, I am afraid that they are also powerless." In the environment of the imminent civil war in the Qing Dynasty, Lord Li put forward such a condition, in addition to being unable to get over the face, they could only agree to it in the end. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "What Wozi said is yes, even if Huang Taiji is not injured, it will be difficult for the Qing court to carry out an expedition against Outer Manchu after this heavy blow, not to mention that now that the civil war in the Qing court is about to start, it is about to fight each other dog-eat-dog." It can be said that whether it is Hauge or Dolgon, now they are all focused on how to destroy each other, seize the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty, and how to have time to manage this wild Manchurian belonging. Therefore, the entire vast area north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Azov River is occupied by this king! ”

After listening to Li Xiao's firm answer, Jiang Yueguang nodded again and praised: "Master Li's eyes are like torches and he can see through them, then, if the students analyze it, can they also think that since the Qing Dynasty has lost control of the Outer Manchurian region, the Mongolian tribes in the west are only nominally obedient, and I am afraid that they are also weak in control." Although the Qing court was nominally the suzerainty of the Mongol tribes, it lacked actual control and governance, and was nothing more than a false name. Those Mongolian tribes who are dissatisfied in their hearts and want to get out of their control, if you think about it, why are there only one or two? With this civil strife in the Qing court, those Mongol tribes are afraid that they will immediately disagree and no longer tame the Qing Dynasty. ”

Chen Zilong also sighed: "Yue Guang is right, the Qing court is in civil strife, in the eyes of the students, the inner Mongolian can still obey the Qing Dynasty on the surface, or it may obey Dolgon's order to transfer troops, collect troops from his subordinates, and supplement them to the Mongolian Eight Banners." However, for the foreign vassal Mongolia, which was already unconvinced and beyond the reach of the Qing Dynasty, it is very likely that it will break away from the control of the Qing Dynasty and go its own way or set up a separate khan. ”

Li Xiao nodded, very much in agreement with the statement of the two, he let out a long sigh, and continued: "Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty shrinks its forces and prepares to start a large-scale civil war, the Mongolian tribes will definitely lose control like a kite with a broken string. Under such circumstances, even if the Mongol tribes rebelled against the Qing Dynasty or united to elect the Khan, the Qing Dynasty could only watch and have nothing to do. Because the Mongols knew that it was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to reconquer the rebellious Mongol tribes until the end of the civil war. In this way, the scattered and dissident Mongol tribes can be completely broken by dividing and dissolving, which is really the best target for our army to conquer and woo. Our army can take advantage of this opportunity to comprehensively advance the strength of the Dingbei battalion to the Mobei area, so as to completely seize the entire Mongolian tribes from the hands of the Qing Dynasty and firmly control them in its own hands. ”

Li Xiao paused, and sneered: "It can be seen that together with the civil war of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes, like the Outer Manchurians, will eventually only break away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty step by step, and if we take 10,000 steps back, even if our army does not interfere in Mongolia, the future civil war of the Qing Dynasty will decide the outcome of the victory, then, whether it is Dolgon or Hauge, can not conquer Mongolia under the premise of great loss of national strength and heavy injury of soldiers, and this Mongolian tribes, especially Transkhalkha Mongolia, take the opportunity to break away from the Qing Dynasty, which is almost a foregone conclusion." Therefore, the second article of this king wants the Qing Dynasty to recognize the command of our army over the Mongol tribes, so that they will be transformed from the name of the Qing Dynasty to become a respectful and obedient subordinate tribe under our army. After all, they also knew that instead of facing a Mongolia that was basically out of control and difficult to subdue in the future, it was better to throw away the name of this suzerainty with the same name as the Outer Manchurian region, so that they no longer had to care about the messy Mongolian tribes on the Mongolian steppe, which was the most worry-free and desirable thing. ”

Li Xiao's remarks were unanimously agreed by Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang.

Chen Zilong said with emotion; After listening to Master Li's analysis, the student was suddenly enlightened, and his mind was clear. However, the student was thinking that although the Outer Manchurian region and the Mongol tribes would be firmly occupied by our army in the future, the three regions of Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou were the core lands of the Qing Dynasty, and if Haoge agreed to cede these lands to us, he was afraid that it would be a major blow to his ruling authority in the Qing Dynasty, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to accept this condition of the King of Pingliao. ”

After Chen Zilong finished speaking, Jiang Yueguang also interjected: "Chen Zanhua is right, these three states are the core territory of the Qing Dynasty, if Haoge dares to cede these three states to our army as a reward, I am afraid that the Manchu civil and military forces of the Qing court will have a lot of opinions about him, which will greatly damage his face." Therefore, I think that this article of Na Haoge to the king of Pingliao will most likely only be agreed against his will under the pressure of Dolgon's army, but when it comes to dealing with our army, I am afraid that this person will renege, so that the agreement signed by our army will not be implemented in the end. “

After listening to Jiang Yueguang's words, Li Xiao laughed out loud and said loudly: "Jiang Zanhua, what you are worried about is too honest. If he didn't want to give it, didn't he think that the king could take it himself? Moreover, the king's seizure of these three states is justified, and Hauge has absolutely nothing to say. “

Jiang Yueguang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The student's wisdom is shallow, but I don't know, why is King Pingliao so confident?" ”

Li Xiao sneered: "Think about it, if Haoge and our army reach an alliance, then our army will inevitably start to attack Dolgon's troops next, in order to relieve the huge pressure of Haoge, who occupies Shenyang." And if our army wants to launch an offensive against the Qing Dynasty, it will naturally be the same as the previous attack on the Qing Dynasty, first attack Jinzhou, then attack Fuzhou, and then use these two states as a stronghold, send a naval division to carry troops to attack Jinzhou, and after taking Jinzhou, the troops will be divided into two routes, all the way from southern Liaoning to the north, directly attacking Haicheng, all the way from western Liaoning to the north, and taking Guangning. In this way, the two breads of the Dolgon department are clamped. In this way, the land of these three states has been firmly occupied by our army, even if Haoge wants to regret not giving it, how can he bear it? Even if he wants to turn his face after he succeeds, but after he finally resists Dorgon's offensive, he will definitely lose his strength, his troops will weaken, and it will be difficult to protect himself, how can he still have the ability to retake the land of the three states occupied by our army? In contrast, being looked down upon by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military behind their backs, secretly ridiculing and sarcastic, what can it be counted? ”

Li Xiao's words made Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang laugh, and both of them sighed one after another, agreeing with Li Xiao's statement.

Chen Zilong said proudly: "Master Li is right, now Haoge's fate can be said to be basically in the hands of our army, if he wants to be naughty and turn his face, then our army is definitely capable of making him look good." What's more, Haoge succeeded to the throne in such a humiliation, even if he seized the ruling power of the Qing Dynasty, there were also scattered people below him, each with different aspirations, and the entire Qing Dynasty would become a plate of scattered sand. In this case, even if it is difficult for our army to swallow the entire Qing Dynasty in one bite, how much more can such a Qing Dynasty, which was traumatized by war and has an undercurrent of civil strife, still have much to do, and how much trouble can it cause to our army? “

Jiang Yueguang also smiled and said: "Master Li, in this way, these three conditions are things that Haoge cannot disobey and must agree to." Then we should tell Hao Zeren that in the next negotiations with Haoge, he must firmly grasp and never let go, so that Haoge can only reluctantly agree to all the conditions of our army in the end. “

Li Xiao nodded again and again with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "That's exactly what I mean." The king then immediately wrote a reply letter, telling Hao Zeren the conditions for our army to agree to an alliance with the Hauge tribe, and asked him to negotiate with Hauge as the plenipotentiary representative of our army, and also told him to abide by these three conditions, not to change his mouth, and to let Hauge obediently obey before agreeing to his request to form an alliance with Dolgon. “

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he immediately revised the book, and also sent the letter to Hao Zeren in the afternoon of the next day.

After reading the letter, Hao Zeren immediately smiled, and he replied to Li Xiao's reply to Mr. Chen Juyi to watch, and Chen Juyi also laughed after reading it.

"Hey, I'll just say, Lord Li is such a shrewd and powerful person, he will definitely be able to tear off a large piece of meat from the Qing Dynasty, this is good, these three conditions are enough to dissect the Qing Dynasty, from a large country with a territory of thousands of miles, back to a weak and inactive small country." Chen Juyi said with a happy face.

Hao Zeren also smiled: "Yes, Master Li is really amazing." It's just that these three conditions, in order to save his life and seize power, Hauge is now afraid that he is no longer willing in his heart, so he can only pinch his nose and agree. After all, there is no free lunch in the world, Hauge wants to get the aid of our army, these terms of loss of power and humiliation for the Qing Dynasty, he must agree, and there is no other choice. Moreover, I dare to pack the ticket, even if this guy has different intentions, then Master Li will definitely have the ability in the future, so that Haoge obediently abides by the agreement, and will never dare to have two hearts, and even turn against our army. “

Chen Juyi's face was excited, and he hurriedly said to Hao Zeren: "Okay, since Master Li's opinions and requirements have also been passed on to us, and you have appointed Hao Zhang, the shopkeeper, as the negotiator, then we will send a guy to tell Na Haoge now." I wonder if Hauge is like an ant on a hot pot now, in a hurry at home. ”

Hao Zeren laughed and said: "Juyi is right, without further ado, the shopkeeper will send a man to tell him now, and let him come to my Xianwang ironware shop again in person to discuss the signing of the covenant with us." ”
