Jinzhou City General Military Mansion, Chongzhen sat on the main seat and stood behind Wang Chengen, standing on the left, Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, standing on the right, Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Wu Mosaic. On the one hand, he brought his henchmen, and on the other hand, he was the old general of the Liaodong Army.
"In addition to rectifying the military affairs of the Liaodong Army on this northern tour, there is another important matter, which should also be put on the agenda, I plan to negotiate peace with the Jurchens, what do you think of a few Aiqing" After speaking, Chongzhen looked at the several Ming high-level officials below, wanting to see if there were any different opinions.
"Your Majesty, now that the Jurchens have been newly defeated, the morale of our army is booming. It is the time to make great achievements, why do you want to negotiate with the wild boar skin outside the pass, "The first to be angry is He Kegang, a local general in Liaodong, who has fought to the death with the Jurchens for a lifetime, why is it suddenly necessary to negotiate peace today, not only He Kegang, but also several other generals also showed incredible expressions, although the emperor has just ascended the throne, he has seen that the previous methods of doing things are also quite Taizu's legacy, not like a person who negotiates peace."
"Then Aiqing, do you think that now that the Ming Dynasty has concentrated the Liaodong soldiers and horses and the new army brought by me to launch a war to destroy the country against the Jurchens, there are several Aiqing who have worked together to serve as the commander of this war of annihilation, and how many years will this war be fought?" The Jurchen Chongzhen also wanted to fight, but it was not so easy to fight, and the current Ming Dynasty no longer had the ability to support a large-scale war of annihilation.
"Back to the emperor, if the old minister is allowed to serve as the commander, several adults and the old minister present will work together, and the logistics and supplies will keep up, and the minister is expected to be able to reach the Jurchen Shengjing City in three to five years" Sun Chengzong, who was standing in front, stepped forward and returned.
"Let's discuss it with a few Aiqing and see if the time of three to five years can be shortened?" Three to five years, can Daming afford to wait? After a period of chattering discussion, Sun Chengzong stepped forward and returned again.
"Your Majesty, although the Jurchens are newly defeated, but the Jurchen people are fierce, almost all the people are soldiers, in the face of the threat of extermination, it is very likely that Huang Taiji will once again pull up 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers who can fight, and I am in the Ming Dynasty in addition to the necessary defensive forces, with the emperor brought 100,000 new soldiers + 40,000 new cavalry + 20,000 white pole soldiers, the 20W border army of the Jinning defense line can also draw out 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the total strength can reach 260,000. However, although the 26W soldiers and horses of the new army are well-equipped and well-trained, but the new army has not officially been on the battlefield, the new army is still a group of recruits, the current cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is also a new soldier in recent years, and there are only a handful of people who have been on the battlefield, and the Jurchens are fighting head-on, our cavalry is the opponent of the Jurchens in the case of weak troops, and the Liaodong soldiers who are drawn are not enough to protect themselves in the face of the Jurchens, so the army in order to prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the past is broken one by one, it can not divide the army and advance, can only adopt a steady and steady strategy, Therefore, without three or five years of fierce battles, the Jurchens could not be destroyed. "There is another point that Sun Chengzong did not say, even if the Jurchens are destroyed, under the dying counterattack of the Jurchens, there are very few left.
"Three to five years, if during this period, there is a large-scale rebellion in the country, Daming still has the ability to fight on two fronts, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, as far as the current treasury is concerned, do you think Aiqing can support all the expenses of this Northern Expedition?" The Northern Expedition took back the Nuer Gandu Division and established immortal achievements, these things Chongzhen dreamed of, but the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, forget it.
"Your Majesty, even so, it is our army that has the advantage, and there is no need to negotiate peace" Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and asked, negotiate peace, there has been no peace negotiation since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how can you start peace negotiation in your own era.
"Who said that our army can't negotiate peace if it occupies an advantage, and if it doesn't negotiate peace and get some benefits during the period when it occupies an inconspicuous advantage, isn't it stupid?" Chongzhen couldn't say anything. Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty will only consider negotiating peace when it is at a disadvantage, and when it has an advantage, it wants to eliminate many parties, the key is that it is not good to take the trouble and effort to fight a war, and this result is completely that the Central Plains Dynasty was educated stupidly by those so-called etiquette, righteousness and shame.
The few people below are a little dumbfounded, and they can still get benefits from negotiating peace, so why can't their heads turn around.
Chongzhen looked at the ministers below who had not turned a corner and continued, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has the advantage to negotiate peace, of course it is necessary to put forward conditions, for example, if you want the Ming Dynasty to no longer send troops, the Jurchens will pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty 200W silver taels every year, and cede Guangning City to the Ming Dynasty, no, how can you say that it is ceded, it should be returned to Guangning City, as for the 200W tribute silver is more or less, after going back, you can also discuss it well in letting those courtiers who have nothing to do, If the Jurchens dare not negotiate peace, Qin Aiqing, you see that the soldiers of the Jinning defense line are idle, and they can run to the Jurchen territory to grab some back" Chongzhen said while still thinking about what to pull down, and Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu below were a little dumbfounded, can peace be discussed like this?
"Lu Aiqing and I plan to rebuild Jiangdong Town, when I come, those warships will all be handed over to you, you lead the 40,000 cavalry of the headquarters, I am transferring 50,000 Liaodong troops to you, let those big ships pull your team to Changsheng Island, Guanglu Island, or other nearby islands, you can choose one yourself, I am giving you some artillery, using artillery to defend the island, there are big ships, the Jurchen barbarians have no sailors, there is no way to take you, you will train over there, it's okay to go ashore by boat to run the Jurchen territory to actually fight, If there are fewer Jurchen people, you will kill them, and if the Jurchen army comes, you will get on the boat and hide from the sea" In order to prevent the Jurchen dogs from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Chongzhen planned to let Lu Xiangsheng go to rebuild Jiangdong Town, and if there was nothing to do, he would give the Jurchens some blood, and the emperor Taiji of the province would come to toss Daming if he had nothing to do.
For Lu Xiangsheng, who likes to fight, this is a good errand, much better than chasing bandits everywhere in the country.
"By the way, Qin Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, when the two of you are fine, you can take the troops to the Jurchen territory to grab some silver flowers, and the two of the robbed silver only need to be handed over to me, and the rest of you and the soldiers who went out to watch the sharing" If you want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the border soldiers to fight against the enemy, there is nothing better than the effect of a large-scale corps dispatched to the enemy's territory to rob and come back to share the spoils.
And in the heads of Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, they kept flashing, the money they robbed, look at it themselves, the two looked at each other, how did the emperor's teacher call the emperor, the emperor who was less than twenty years old, brought so many bad ideas, and now the children are really unlucky.
It wasn't until this time that Chongzhen reflected, I said why did I always feel that something was missing, how could there be no princess in Yihe, by the way, I had to add one, I wanted Huang Taiji's daughter to come to Beijing, but the woman in Houjin heard that there was a smell of sheep on her body, it's okay, if you can't get used to it, isn't there still a group of princes in Daming.
