178 Dorgon had to accept
Eight hundred miles of urgency started again, with Ma Guozhu's news galloping to Beijing City, Cao Bianjiao's unstingy style, Ma Guozhu was also helpless, their original plan was to redeem Duoduo with money, but the number Dolgon gave him was 200,000 taels, 200,000 taels to buy a Duoduo back, with some conditions, it should not be a problem, but I didn't expect Cao Bianjiao's mouth to be too big, directly with a mouth is three million taels, and 200,000 taels of gold, such a huge contrast, how does Ma Guozhu do the master, and Cao Bianjiao is so strongIf he didn't give it, he would kill Dorgon, and he would naturally have to throw this problem to Dorgon.
When Dolgon received Ma Guozhu's letter, his face was also pale, and he couldn't wait to fly to Fengyang to bite Cao Bianjiao to death, this is a typical warrior without brains, as long as he is a person with brains, it is impossible to open his mouth like this, and now there are only two choices in front of Dolgon, agree, discuss it again, and press the price, but it must be much less, and the other way is simpler, let Ma Guozhu come back directly, regardless of Duoduo.
"What's going on?"
When Dorgon was still hesitating and making a decision, the Fujin Borzigit clan, the Fujin Tongjia clan, and the Shufujin Nala clan of Duoduo came to Dolgon's palace with their two sons and knelt down in the hall.
"Regent, you can be Duoduo's own brother, Duoduo is now in Jiangnan, if you don't care about him, then who will care about him, he lost the battle this time, but he also won first and then lost, he fell into the tricks of those Han people, if Duoduo dies like this, what should we do with this group of orphans and widows?"
"Who said I don't care, Duoduo is my own brother, I grew up with him, I am the closest person in the world, how can I not care about him. It's just that the conditions set by the Southern Ming Dynasty are too harsh, and I can't ignore the interests of the country! ”
"If the money is gone, it will be levied again, the city is gone, you can fight again, but if Duoduo is gone, you will have a broken arm, who will die for you in the future?"
"That's it! I know, you take them back first, I will definitely take care of Duoduo's affairs, I promise you, okay, at most, Duoduo will come back, go back first! "Dolgon also tried his best to appease them, their words are not unreasonable, anything can be lost, because if it is lost, it can be regained, but if Dordo is gone, there will be no more chance, there is only one human life!
After persuading Duoduo's family to leave, Dorgon also ordered someone to find Fan Wencheng, tell him about the matter, and ask him what he meant.
"Three million taels of silver, two hundred thousand taels of gold, I entered the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, it is the time of the recovery of all industries, the court uses a lot of silver, such a large expenditure, is to damage me and fatten the enemy, this Cao Bianjiao, it is really a lion's big mouth, too hateful!" When Fan Wencheng heard the news from Ma Guozhu, he was also excited.
Dolgon smiled bitterly and sighed: "I don't know this, but now it's not just Duoduo alone, but also Nikan, and tens of thousands of Eight Banner disciples, we give, Cao Bianjiao is going to kill them all, I can watch, ignore it, sit idly by, so I'm also very embarrassed, just now, Duoduo's family members came and cried to me, I don't know who spread the news so quickly, and I don't know how many people are hoping to see my jokes!" ”
"Regent, it's not impossible to give, but you can't give so much, the slave means that you can cede Henan Mansion, the two sides are bounded by the Yellow River, but the rest of the states and counties can't be ceded out, especially the daimyo and Huaiqing, stifle the rush, don't lose, and there are three million taels of silver, two hundred thousand taels of gold, it's too much, you can halve, and then give them some ginseng, monkey head and other specialties outside my customs, in addition to silk, jade and other things, maybe it should be feasible, and to the outside world to focus on declaring, This is to redeem those captured soldiers will cost such a price, to block the mouths of some well-intentioned people, but also to inspire the soldiers, thank the court's kindness, and better serve our Qing court. ”
"It's still Mr. Fan's wit, worthy of being an old minister of the Three Dynasties, a few words, so that the king was immediately bright-eyed and suddenly brightened, and the mouth suddenly opened, okay, just do it, Mr. Lao Fu drafted a reply letter to Ma Guozhu, and sent someone to send Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian's women, it is a waste of food to keep, you can't move, and you have to eat and drink well."
For sending those female dependents away, Dolgon is unwanted, they are all concubines of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in order to win the hearts of the people, they can't do anything to them, they need to be offered, otherwise they will be blamed, Dolgon has long been dissatisfied with this, and he sent it away, he didn't care at all.
"Regent, there is one more thing, that is, the defense of Shandong, at the moment, Prince Su Haoge is stationed in Shandong, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, there are a lot of bandits in Shandong, Prince Su needs to suppress the rebellion, and he has to defend Nanming, he is powerless, so it is better to send reinforcements earlier!" Fan Wencheng also reminded that of course he could guess what Dolgon was thinking, but at the moment, he still had to focus on national affairs and could not have civil strife.
Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng, nodded, and said, "Okay! I will send Bahana, Lu Guangzu and others to lead 20,000 green battalions to reinforcements, don't worry! ”
The rise of the Qing Dynasty relied on its powerful Eight Banners army, but with the expansion of its territory, it absorbed some of the Mongols and Han forces, and Huang Taiji set up the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners. After the Qing army entered the customs, although the number of the Eight Banners Army reached 200,000, the strength was still far from enough to cope with the use of war and defense, so the Qing court recruited the Ming army and recruited Han people to organize the army, with the green flag as the symbol and the battalion as the unit, so it was called "green battalion soldiers".
Now in addition to the 200,000 Eight Banner soldiers, the Qing court also has nearly 300,000 green battalion soldiers, nearly 500,000 troops, in addition to the 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners stationed in Shengjing and Shenyang, there are some men and horses in Mongolia, and the rest of the more than 400,000 troops have spread all over the Central Plains, Shaanxi has 1450,000, Shanxi also has 50,000, only Haoge has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and 200,000 troops are arranged around Beijing, half of the Manchu and Han people.
Eight hundred miles to rush to come, eight hundred miles to rush back, it really only took seven days to go back and forth, this is to run and kill several horses to do, seeing Dolgon's reply, Ma Guozhu did not have much confidence, Cao Bianjiao will agree to these, but this is already Dolgon's last condition, Dolgon has made it clear, if Ma Guozhu can't do this, then he will be punished severely, and all the responsibility will suddenly fall on his head, and he also has a hard time.
"General Cao, this is already the maximum range that my Qing court can accept, if General Cao really persists, I can't do anything but go back to restore my life!"
The two sides met again, and Ma Guozhu also set the final bottom line to Cao Bianjiao after sorting out the previous conditions, if there is more, this is not their own family, it is the country, and it is not for him to call the shots, so he will go back and accept the guilt.
"That's not necessary, I can accept these conditions, I will send someone to accept Henan Mansion, and at the same time, I will return Nikan to you first, and when your things arrive, the rest will be handed over to you together, and then you will pay the money with one hand and receive the person with the other."
"Good!" Ma Guozhu was also very happy, but he didn't expect Cao Bianjiao to agree very painfully.
