Chapter 91 worries about the people and angrily enters the horse mansion
Outside the city of Hangzhou, Wang Yan and Zuo Maodi and others practiced for Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi, and each of them led thousands of troops, and went to Dusongguan and Si'an Town with a little money and grain.
A few days later, Dai Zhifan returned to Hangzhou, and said that the soldiers of the northern captives returned to Nanjing along the canal.
A few days later, Zhang Bingzhen, who was sent to the Qing camp, sent back the proposal and terms from Nanjing: First, the Ming Dynasty declared himself a minister to the Qing court, and the Qing court named Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, as the emperor. Second, the demarcation of the boundary, the west of Jiujiang is bounded by the middle stream of the Yangtze River, the east of Jiujiang is bounded by the border between Zhili and Zhejiang Province in the south, and the Ming Dynasty ceded Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yingtian, Guangde, Taiping, Ningguo, and Chizhou nine prefectures. Third, the Ming Dynasty paid 2 million taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty every year, and since the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was moved to Nanjing every autumn to pay. Fourth, the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to station heavy troops in Zhejiang Province, and the Qing Dynasty did not station large troops south of the Yangtze River to show that it would abide by the peace agreement.
Almost not long after Zhang Bingzhen's recital came, Wang Yan sent a fine work to Nanjing, and also sent back the news, the Qing court ordered Nanjing to be changed to Jiangning Mansion to show the stability of Jiangnan, and more than 200,000 horses and horses in Duoduo's department, only Ang Bangzhang Jing Tulai, and a total of 30,000 horses such as Tian Xiong and Ma Degong were sent to guard Jiangning, and the rest of the men and horses crossed the river to the north and returned.
A message came to Hangzhou from different channels, everything told that the Qing court really had a discussion and sincerity, Ma Shiying and others celebrated, thinking that they had helped the Ming Dynasty to exchange for peace, and that they were the great heroes of the continuation of the national ancestry.
On 25 July, Lu Fan formally issued an edict accepting the terms of the peace agreement, and sent a message to all the prefectures, Zhang Guowei, who recruited volunteers in Taizhou, and Yang Tinglin, Li Yongmao, and others who recruited volunteers in Jiangxi.
The humiliating terms made Wang Yan angry, but with Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi and other ministers of the main war, Ma Shiying was sent to Hangzhou under various pretexts, and the government was controlled by Ma Ruan, Wang Yan was no longer able to influence the court situation.
At first, because of the pressure of Duoduo's soldiers, Lu Fan was afraid in his heart and regarded Wang Yan as an arm to rely on, but with the withdrawal of troops from the north, the pressure on Hangzhou suddenly lightened, and Lu Fan rarely summoned Wang Yan, so that Wang Yan was slowly pushed to the edge.
Now Ma Shiying almost does not let Wang Yan participate in the government affairs, and Wang Yan has no interest in the matter of peace, and runs around every day to settle the people of Yangzhou, but he never sees Ma Shiying's face.
At this time, Wang Yan was extremely disappointed in the court, he no longer objected to peace, but did something for the people wholeheartedly, but because of the difference between the courtiers, he was constrained, and nothing was accomplished, and the anger in his heart could not be increased.
Seeing that more than half of the money and grain in his hand had been consumed, and the contradictions between the people of Yangzhou and the residents in the city were slowly rising, Wang Yan became anxious.
300,000 people followed Wang Yan south, but the court didn't care, if the food in his hands was banned, wouldn't he let the people starve to death, Wang Yan was more and more angry, and the anger in his heart finally reached the edge of the report.
The people of Yangzhou shared weal and woe with Wang Yan, and Wang Yan, who was forced to be helpless, finally broke out after being rejected to see Ma Shiying again, and he also took it again. He took hundreds of armor soldiers and rushed directly into Ma Shiying's mansion and pulled him out to meet him.
Because in the peace clause of the Qing court, Zhejiang Province was not allowed to station heavy troops, and Ma Shiying was unwilling to let an army that was not in harmony with his political views and not under his control be stationed in Hangzhou, so he had already planned to drive Wang Yan out of Zhejiang.
These days, Ma Shiying knew that Wang Yan was running around in order to bring 300,000 people into the city, but he always avoided it, in order to drive Wang Yan out of Hangzhou at a very small price when Wang Yan was helpless, but he didn't expect Wang Yan to lead troops to rush directly into his mansion and drag it out of the study.
Ma Shiying didn't expect things to go in the direction he hoped for, and when he knew that this time he had played, he couldn't help but be very frightened, thinking that Wang Yan was going to launch a mutiny and seize power in the imperial court.
At this time, Wang Yan, with the support of the armor, walked straight to the lobby of the Mafu with an angry face, and sat down in the first place.
Not long after, Ma Shiying was carried to the hall by the armor soldier, he saw Wang Yan's face full of anger, and saw the armor soldier's murderous anger, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
For a while, Ma Shiying was terrified, but at this time, the armor moved the seat and pressed him down.
Wang Yan tore his face with Ma Shiying today, and naturally he didn't care about any etiquette, and he didn't care about Ma Shiying's identity as the first minister, so he directly asked: "Yan has asked to see him several times, why didn't Ma Fu see him?" ”
Ma Shiying saw that the armor soldier asked him to sit down, and listened to Wang Yan's words, knowing that Wang Yan had no intention of killing him and seizing power, he couldn't help but feel a little calm, but he also realized at this time that Wang Yan was different from the general ministers of the court, he was a general who controlled tens of thousands of elites, and he could not be forced too much.
At this time, Ma Shiying looked at Wang Yan's scarred face, and said with palpitations: "It's not intentional, it's really a matter of government affairs, and you can't be idle!" ”
"Not idle? Can 300,000 people be left starving and sick and not being ignored? Wang Yan couldn't help but be furious when he heard Ma Shiying's perfunctory words, and sneered: "Ma Fu is so hard-working, he doesn't even have time to see me, is he busy betraying the country?" ”
Ma Shiying was ridiculed by Wang Yan like this, which can be described as disgraceful, as the dignity of the first auxiliary minister, he instinctively wanted to refute, but he was worried about angering Wang Yan again, he was close to the age of sixties, and he was past the time of youth and vigor, so he was naturally very tolerant, so he just kept silent.
Seeing him like this, Wang Yan was not sarcastic, nor did he want to waste any more time entanglement, so he said the right thing: "I want the people of Yangzhou to settle down in Zhejiang Province and settle down as soon as possible. ”
Ma Shiying listened to Wang Yan's threatening words, but said: "It's the end of July, the agricultural time has been mistaken, the imperial court has no money and grain to feed 300,000 people to harvest in the autumn of the next year, and Zhejiang Province is prosperous, without war, the fertile land belongs to it, and the imperial court has also taken out acres of land to resettle, so it is impossible to settle in Zhejiang Province!" ”
When Wang Yan heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning: "Zhejiang Province is prosperous, and the tax burden is heavy, how can it be impossible to settle 300,000 people, Ma Fu wants to force the people to go to a dead end?" ”
"The imperial court is newly established, there is no money, all rely on the Zhejiang Provincial Government inventory silver barely support, now with the Qing court to negotiate peace, the autumn will have to release the tribute of two million taels of silver into Nanjing to pay, where is there still silver." Ma Shiying argued.
When Wang Yan heard his words, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and said angrily: "Does Ma Fu want to sit idly by and ignore the people? ”
Ma Shiying saw that Wang Yan cared about the people, he was already angry, and felt that the time was ripe, and finally said his purpose: "The people of Yangzhou are also the people of the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally not ignore it, but it is impossible to settle in Zhejiang Province, only to eat elsewhere!" ”
