Chapter 567: The Mongol Suzerain's Dispute

As soon as Hao Zeren finished speaking, Hauge's long face, which was originally still full of smirks, immediately froze.

Isn't it, this dog-in-the-top Li Xiao actually wants to fight the Mongolian tribes after swallowing half of the land? !

He is just a mere king of Pingliao in the Ming Dynasty, but he wants to become the suzerain of Inner and Outer Khalkha Mongolia, and also succeed the Qing Dynasty emperor and become the Bogda Chechen Khan of Mongolia.

"Grandma's, Li Xiao is really too deceitful!"

Ao Bai couldn't help but stand up and scolded loudly: "I think that my Qing Dynasty has fought for decades and sacrificed a lot of soldiers to finally conquer the entire Mongolian territory and become the Mongolian co-master. It was only then that the Qing Emperor became the Bogda Chechen Khan, who was respected by the Mongol tribes. It's good now, Li Xiao's guy only relied on a paper covenant to swallow the entire Inner and Outer Mongolian tribes that I had worked so hard in the Qing Dynasty, spent countless manpower and material resources, and spent countless soldiers, horses, money, and food, and swallowed them all so easily, this abacus is really good! Let me tell you, this condition is really excessive, and I will never accept it! ”

After Ao Bai finished speaking loudly, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his face was extremely angry, and after he finished speaking, he stomped his feet fiercely before he sat down again in hatred.

At this time, Sonny and Hauge on his side were silent, and their faces were very serious and heavy.

In their hearts, they both thought that Ao Bai's rude and direct words clearly showed their attitude and conveyed their own voices, but next, it was up to Hao Zeren and Chen Juyi to deal with it.

Hao Zeren looked around at the three of them, and couldn't help frowning slightly, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Juyi, and found that the other party was also looking at him tacitly.

When the two looked at each other, a faint smile appeared on Hao Zeren's face.

Hao Zeren knows that if he can't succeed in convincing Hao Ge and others, then this negotiation is very likely to be suspended, and there is no possibility of negotiation.

Hao Zeren sighed softly, and said in a deep voice to Aobai: "Commander of the Protector Army, Hao can understand your words. But with all due respect to Hao's bluntness, what you said can't be agreed with below. “

"Can't agree? Why? Could it be that the Commander is wrong? Then you tell the commander that he is ugly! Ao Bai said angrily.

Hao Zeren smiled lightly, and then replied: "Okay, since the commander asks questions, then he will say it directly." You said that this Mongolian land was finally surrendered by the Qing Dynasty after decades of war. Then Hao wanted to ask, since this Mongolian land would be conquered by the Qing Dynasty with an iron fist, then in other words, the Mongolian tribes were only forced to surrender because they were afraid of the Qing Dynasty's force. So, after the decline of the Qing Dynasty's strength and the need to experience such a large-scale civil war, did the Qing Dynasty still have the strength to continue to make the Mongol tribes submit? If some of the tribes in the Mongol tribes rebelled when they saw the Qing civil war, did the Qing Dynasty still have the strength to suppress it, and did it still have the strength to go thousands of miles to conquer? More extremely, if a Mongol tribe rebels and the Qing Dynasty is unable to suppress it, then the other Mongol tribes will definitely rebel when they see the Qing Dynasty so incompetent and decaying, and the entire Mongolian tribes will definitely take this opportunity to break away from the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. With all due respect, at that time, the name of such a suzerainty may not be a good name, but just a shameful name. Lord Commander, Hao is not wrong about this, right? “

When Ao Bai heard this, he was angry and ashamed in his heart, and his face suddenly turned even redder, but he was a rough man and was not good at talking, and at this time, Hao Zeren's words were impeccable, which suddenly made him feel that he had nothing to say. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say much.

Hao Zeren didn't stop, just glanced coldly at Aobai's embarrassment, and continued: "Lord Commander, do you think that the title of Bogda Chechen Khan of your Qing Dynasty emperor is really willingly offered by the Mongolian tribes? It was not that they were afraid of the terrible force of the powerful Qing Dynasty at that time, so they had to be jointly called by the tribes and honored the Qing Emperor as Bogda Chechen Khan. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was strong and strong, so the Mongol tribes were afraid of it, but now the Qing Dynasty's strength has been greatly damaged, and the civil war is endless, so how can the Mongol tribes continue to respect the Qing Dynasty emperor as the so-called Bogda Khan. As the old saying goes, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster, and once this Bogda Chechen Khan cannot be continued to be respected by the Mongol tribes, then, for the Qing Dynasty, even if it continues to occupy such an unrespected title, what is the point? “

Hao Zeren's words can be described as heart-wrenching, which made Haoge, Sony, and Ao Bai speechless. Ao Bai now, even less arrogant when he was questioned, he sat blankly, his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Hao Zeren saw that Hao Ge and the others were speechless, and continued while the iron was hot: "Everyone, Hao Mou also said it to you. The Mongolian tribes, which were originally weak, were conscripted into the Mongolian Eight Banners to follow Dolgon to fight against your troops, so the actual strength of the Mongolian tribes will only be more empty, and they are not the opponents of the Tang Army with the strength of our elite generals at all. As long as my Lord Li wants to send troops to conquer, he will be invincible and sweep the grassland, who can stop my Tang army? And when it really got there, the Qing Dynasty had the false name of the suzerainty and the title of Bogda Chechen Khan, but it couldn't send a single soldier to the rescue, wouldn't it make the Mongol tribes look down on it even more, and even more humiliate themselves. ”

When Hao Zeren said this, Sony interjected on the side: "Shopkeeper Hao, what you said also has some truth. But with this bachelor's degree, Li Xiao wants to make his rule want to become the suzerainty of the Mongolian tribes, and he wants the honorific title of Bogda Chechen Khan, which is also to make it more convenient to conquer the Mongolian tribes, right? With this title, he can use the name of the suzerain, to win the honorific title of Bogda Chechen Khan, and justifiably crusade against the Mongol tribes who do not obey him, and because of such a nominal thing, those Mongol tribes cannot be twisted into a rope to deal with him, so as to let Li Xiao break through the unified steppe, Hao Shopkeeper, what I said, but the truth? ”

Hao Zeren smiled, he nodded and praised: "Daxue Shiguo is a keen and shrewd person, and he has seen my family's Master Li very thoroughly. Let me tell you the truth, the name of this suzerain, and the title of this Bogda Khan, have formed a chicken rib for the Qing state, which has suffered a great loss of national strength due to civil wars, and can no longer bring any practical benefits except for endless troubles and humiliation. For our army, it is a good weapon that can be used immediately, which is why our Lord Li is determined to take it. ”

Hao Zeren paused and replied: "Prince Su, a scholar, the commander of the army, the ancients had a saying, acting as a person, and you must not invite real trouble by being famous. I beg your pardon to be blunt, if you are determined to protect such a false name that does not bring real benefits, and if the negotiations cannot proceed, then it is not the most unwise thing for you to do with the precarious situation of the situation? Besides, if my lord Li can't get the name of this suzerainty and the honorific title of Bogda Khan, he can also conquer the steppe with his strength, but relatively speaking, the name is not so formal, and the time for conquest will take more, but there is no substantial loss. Compared with these two, Prince Su is such a smart person, he must be able to know at a glance, how he will decide next, right? ”

After Hao Zeren said this so bluntly, he turned his head and looked at Hauge with calm and determined eyes. His eyes seemed to be looking at a prey that had been captured by himself, and although he was struggling, he could not escape in the end.

At this time, Haoge frowned, the expression on his face was very tangled, and he was sighing in his heart.

He knew that his current self had no way to object to it except to agree to this article. Moreover, for this vain suzerain, and the Bogda Chechen Khan, who has become a disgrace, it is indeed a meaningless thing for the current self, and it is indeed necessary to give these false names to Li Xiao.

It's just that Haoge knows in his heart that this Li Xiao, after swallowing half of the Waiman land in the east, and then swallowing all the Mongolian tribes in the west, will greatly enhance and strengthen their strength for the Tang Army. For the Qing Dynasty, it was equivalent to the loss of both its left and right arms, and its national strength was greatly damaged. In this way, compared with the invisible empire under Li Xiao, the gap between the Qing State and the invisible empire under Li Xiao is getting bigger and bigger, almost to the point where it is difficult to catch up. Even after the end of this terrible civil war, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to recover its strength if it recuperates, but it will not reach the current level.

For a while, Hauge's heart was filled with inexplicable sadness, and the whole room was an oppressive silence.

It's just that he quickly recovered from such meaningless sentimentality, he coughed lightly, and sighed: "Okay, the name of this suzerain, and the title of this Bogda Khan, will be officially transferred to Li Xiao by my Great Qing Dynasty." Reality is stronger than people, although this king is entangled in his heart, he also understands current affairs. This condition was also agreed to by the king. ”

Hao Zeren immediately praised: "Okay, Prince Su is really wise and decisive, Hao is very admirable." Being able to negotiate with Prince Su, a person who knows how to make decisions, Hao is also very happy. Okay, now that this condition has been passed, let's talk about the last request made by Master Li. ”

"Okay, please tell Shopkeeper Hao as soon as possible." Hao Ge was very helpless in his heart, squeezed out a bitter smile on his face, and whispered to Hao Zeren.

Listening to Haoge's words, Hao Zeren's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly flashed a light, and he said loudly: "Okay, then I'll tell you that the last condition of our Lord Li is that I hope that after helping your troops defeat Dolgon, we can cede Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou to our army as a reward for this alliance and sending troops." ”

Hao Zeren's words, like a heavy hammer, struck Hauge, Sony, and Ao Bai's hearts fiercely.

If it is said that in the previous two conditions, Li Xiao only wanted some imaginary things, although Haoge was unwilling in his heart, it was not difficult to give up. It's just that now Li Xiaokai's third condition is really cutting meat from the Qing Dynasty, and it is really cutting land to survive and betray the country for glory, this condition is really too difficult for people to agree.

Ao Bai rose up from the chair again and stood up, his thick fingers pointed at the bridge of Hao Zeren's nose tremblingly, and then scolded sharply: "Hao Zeren, you Han Nikan, don't kick your nose and face like this, it's too much to deceive people!" You have taken the Outer Manchurians, and you want to annex Mongolia, I can bear it in the Qing Dynasty, but now it's good, even my Qing Dynasty itself refuses to let go, your hearts, how vicious, your ambitions, how insatiable. If you put forward such conditions, I will never accept them! ”

After Ao Bai finished speaking, Sonny also interjected coldly: "Shopkeeper Hao, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, according to the agreement, you have already swallowed half of the land of Waiman, and you have already earned a lot of money as the suzerainty of Mongolia and the title of Bogda Khan, why do you want to swallow the land of the three states of the Qing Dynasty like this?" Your conditions are so excessive that we have to wonder if you really have the sincerity to form an alliance with us. ”

Listening to Ao Bai and Sony's words, Hao Zeren smiled slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Two, you should also know that in this world, there is no free lunch, there is no obligation to help, my Tang Army labor expedition, spending money and food, sacrificing soldiers, all of this adds up, I am afraid it is a huge expense." If there is no real gain, how to compensate the soldiers and stabilize the army's heart? Besides, to put it mildly, it is not profitable to be early, Lord Li is not a saint, between you and my two armies, there was a hostile relationship before, and now we want to give up our past suspicions, form an alliance and cooperate, the Qing Dynasty does not have to pay any blood, does not pay any price, just want to sit back and reap its benefits, then how is it possible? ”

Hauge let out a long sigh, he stared at Hao Zeren's smiling face for a long time, but his heart was mixed.

This Hao Zeren, by now, is basically in a semi-threatening state, this guy clearly knows that he is now in internal and external difficulties, and he is on the verge of collapse at any time, if he dares not agree, then he will definitely turn his face, and the negotiations will be completely over. Then, at most, the Tang Army will not be able to get more benefits, and the next one who is in danger and even life and death is himself.

Hao Ge was thinking about how to answer Hao Zeren, and Ao Bai on the side already sneered and said to Hao Zeren: "Shopkeeper Hao, you are so aggressive, and you offer such a lion's big opening condition, you are not afraid, once we get angry and turn our faces, will it be unfavorable to you?" ”
