Chapter 42: Sharpening the Knife to the Pig and Sheep (2)
Chongzhen has returned to Beijing for 2 days, the capital of a battle, the Jurchens suffered an unprecedented defeat, for a time let the entire Ming Dynasty cheer, and the original history is different, this time the Jurchens entered the customs, in Chongzhen's intentional indulgence, soldiers and horses around the city gate, avoid the war, so that the Jurchens can go all the way into Beijing, the original history, the Jurchens in the siege of the capital, began to surround the point to help, after eliminating most of the Qinwang soldiers and horses, in the hinterland of the Central Plains to rob a lot, only to be satisfied with the breakthrough of the pass.

This time, after the Jurchens besieged the city, in addition to the plundering on the route into Beijing at the beginning, before it was illuminated into greater destruction, it was killed by Chongzhen with a Beijing outer city, and later the remaining few soldiers and horses were promoted by Lu Xiangsheng with superior troops, and the chickens and dogs jumped all the way, and they fled out of the pass in a hurry, and even the money robbed along the way was deceived by Chongzhen's instructions.
This time the Jurchens retreated too quickly, so there are still more than ten days before the New Year, but this year is estimated that many people are not having a good time, the entire outer city was burned down, and there is no recovery for a year and a half, Chongzhen's northern tour brought back Zu Dashou and the original Jinzhou general soldier Wu Zhuang, all of whom were thrown by Chongzhen outside the city to Huangzhuang and Yuan Chonghuanguan as companions, without a holy decree, they were not allowed to go out without permission, by the way, and the unlucky child Wu Sangui was also put under house arrest by Chongzhen by the way.
For Yuan Chonghuan's ancestral life, Chongzhen's feelings for these two people are not bad, at least these two people have a choice, their hearts are still towards Daming, but for Wu Sangui's father and son, Chongzhen is extremely disgusted, first of all, Wu Pai This guy is timid and afraid, he was a deserter at a critical moment, and Zu Dashou surrendered, He Kegang died, and the degree of disgust for Wu Pai, a deserter, Chongzhen, even exceeded Zu Dashou, who was forced to surrender, after all, one was his own initiative, and the other was forced to not choose.
Wu Zhuang this guy is not a thing, he has the experience of deserting and being imprisoned, but his son Wu Sangui is not a thing, after being besieged by Li Zicheng in Beijing City, Chongzhen added Wu Sangui as Ping Xibo to make him come back, as a result, this guy, along the way, dragged to the city, and after Chongzhen's death, he immediately led the troops back to speculate among various political forces, looking for a new master, especially after surrendering to the Jurchens, Wu Sangui's performance on the battlefield was much more positive than in the Ming Dynasty, and finally even personally hanged Emperor Yongli with a bow, As soon as he thought of this, Chongzhen thought of the unlucky crooked neck tree, and felt that his neck was uncomfortable, Wu Sangui and his father Wu Ting, uncle Zu Dashou, this family is really amazing, there is no good thing, such a scourge, the more capable the more dangerous, Chongzhen felt that it was better for such a person to find a reason to die that day.
"Big companion, let someone pass on the decree, order Man Gui to escort the queen and the crown prince back to Beijing, and let Zhao lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to stay behind to assist Wang Zaijin Governor Nanjing" Now that the Beijing division is safe, the next move, Nanjing is estimated to not be peaceful, and it is time to take back his queen and prince.
"Your Majesty, the old slave will arrange for someone to pass on the decree" For Chongzhen's prince Zhu Ciniang, Wang Chengen also likes it very much, and now the palace can't help but be a little dull, and the prince can be more lively and popular when he comes back.
"Let people go to announce that Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting have entered the palace" Yuan Chonghuan is also idle, can he still exert his residual heat.
After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen sat in the study while watching the folds, while eating some dried fruits that he had people send, and he didn't know when Chongzhen developed the habit of eating when dealing with the folds.
Half an hour later, in Chongzhen's imperial study, under the leadership of a little eunuch, Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan saw Chongzhen who was holding a fold in one hand and stuffing dried fruits into his mouth with the other.
"The courtier's grandson and grandson, Yuan Chonghuan see the emperor" Seeing that Chongzhen had no idea about himself, the two stepped forward to salute.
Chongzhen, who was watching the music and eating, suddenly heard a voice, and when he looked up, he saw Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan standing on the side, but they were full of food, which really damaged the majesty of the emperor, and the little eunuch who had just brought the two of them in, why didn't he have a long heart, and he didn't know how to remind himself.
"No courtesy," Chongzhen said with a dark face and muttering.
"If the emperor is hungry, you can eat first, and the minister can wait on the side first" Sun Chuanting looked at Chongzhen in front of him and was a little funny, you must know that the emperor usually maintains the majesty of the emperor with a straight face all day long, and it is difficult to see a child who should look like a child.
"I'm not hungry" was Sun Chuanting said this, Chongzhen also felt a little embarrassed, Chongzhen was also in his twenties in his previous life, and now the age of this body is even younger, only nineteen years old, in his previous life, his own family education was strict, resulting in his personality is a bit old-fashioned and introverted, and he has become Chongzhen in this life, but this character has not changed.
"Yuan Aiqing, I now give you a task, you will preside over the peace negotiations with the Jurchens, the main purpose of the peace negotiations is to oppress the Jurchens to claim the ministers and pay tribute, and to ask the Jurchens to admit that Liaodong belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and every year the Jurchens will offer silver, cattle and sheep, and horses to the Ming Dynasty, as for the specific amount, you will calculate for yourself to see how much the Jurchens can come up with, and try to have as much as you want" The peace negotiation is something that Chongzhen has long considered, and now Chongzhen needs time to rectify the rule of officials, reformulate taxes, and the new defeat of the Jurchens also needs time to lick their wounds, Rejuvenating and negotiating peace is the best outcome.
"Your Majesty, such a condition, the Jurchens probably won't agree to it" This is a chore, how can Huang Taiji agree to such a negotiation and conditions.
"Don't agree, this is not up to the emperor Taiji, the Ming Dynasty is vast, the population is large, even if the national strength is declining now, it is not comparable to the accumulation of the Jurchens, now Qin Liangyu Aiqing has 18W elite sitting in the Jinning defense line, Lu Xiangsheng Aiqing is stationed on Changsheng Island 9W, and I have also transferred the Fujian Navy Division to the vicinity of Changsheng Island and Juehua Island, with the participation of the Navy Division, the Jinning Defense Line and Changsheng Island can support each other, and if necessary, the Navy Division can lead the army along the Hunhe River to the Jurchen hinterland Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun, I want to see if Huang Taiji dares to easily lead troops to detour into the customs, as long as Huang Taiji does not negotiate peace for a day, I will bully him The Jurchens have no boat, so that the sailor has nothing to do and go around his hinterland, and when he encounters the sparse defenders of the city, he will go ashore to give the Jurchens some blood, I think Huang Taiji will discuss or not, "It is unrealistic for the current Ming army to destroy the Jurchens, in the case of no large-scale equipment of flintlock pistols and artillery, the current field Ming army is not the opponent of the Jurchens, and if you want to kill them all, you must fight in the field, but harassment, bloodletting, Grab a handful and leave, these Jurchens used tactics to deal with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming can be used to deal with the Jurchens, it is also easy to use, no matter how powerful you are in the field, you can not launch a boat without a boat.
