Fang Yuan had just sent reinforcements to the two cities of Zunhua and Yongping, when he received a message from Dolgon, asking for peace talks with Fang Yuan in person.

Dolgon's arrival for peace talks had been expected by Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan's top priority was not to fight a decisive battle with the Manchus, but to drive out the Tartar soldiers, and then enter the city of Beijing to conquer the world.

Fang Yuan also supported the peace talks, and the only uncertainty was the conditions for the peace talks.

Fang Yuan and Dolgon made an appointment to meet at the Shili Pavilion outside the Shanhai Pass, and each side brought 100 soldiers and horses as escorts.

In the ten-mile pavilion, the two sides are seated regardless of the host and guest.

Dolgon looked Fang Yuan up and down, and laughed, "Regent, I haven't seen you for many years since I said goodbye to Liaodong. I thought that back then, I still wanted to recruit the regent as my son-in-law, but I never thought that when I saw it today, you and I would be able to hold the ears of the world. A few words between you and me can determine the general trend of the world. ”

Fang Yuan saw that Dolgon directly put on a high hat for himself, and his intention was to remind himself that this peace negotiation could belong to the general trend of the world, and Dolgon would never give in.

Fang Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I still have the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and there are thousands of people, I am just a regent, I came to negotiate peace, but I came on behalf of the Ming Emperor, how can I decide where the world belongs?" ”

Dorgon laughed and said, "The regent doesn't have to be humble, the Ming Emperor is just a fart, a hero in the world, just you and me." With your friendship with me, I will definitely support the regent to replace the Ming dynasty. Seeing that the regent had not taken the capital for a long time, he raised troops to help! ”

He was roasting Fang Yuan on the fire, but it was also reasonable, Dolgon's invasion of the Central Plains this time was indeed a big meal. Otherwise, Fang Yuan really couldn't find the name of a teacher, and stepped into Gyeonggi justifiably.

Fang Yuan said slowly, "Your Majesty has a heart, now that I have arrived in Gyeonggi, Your Majesty will withdraw from the army!" ”

Dolgon drank a large glass of wine and said, "Regent, I will mobilize 200,000 people, just go back to Shengjing, and it is difficult to explain it in public or private!" ”

As soon as Fang Yuan heard it, he knew that Dorgon's expectations for peace talks were indeed not low! It seemed that he still wanted to cut a piece of fat from Fang Yuan and go back, and said with a smile, "What conditions does the regent have for retiring from the army?!" ”

Dolgon said unhurriedly, "First, on the Eastern Front, neither of you nor China should fight for the ownership of Korea, so that Korea will become a neutral country, and neither side will be allowed to set foot on the territory of Korea without the consent of others. Of course, it also includes the affiliated islands around the territory of the DPRK. ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he heard this, this condition seemed to be neutral, but it was actually completely beneficial to the Manchu Qing. Korea became a neutral state, and its territory also included affiliated islands, including Phi Dao, of course. This was to make Fang Yuan give up the idea of building a military town on Phi Dao.

With this article alone, it was impossible for Fang Yuan to agree.

Fang Yuan was not angry, and continued to ask with a nonchalant face, "Second?!" ”

Dolgon continued, "Second, on the Western Front, the two sides still use Shanhaiguan as the boundary and open mutual markets on the border. ”

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, with Shanhaiguan as the boundary, Dolgon just wanted to take all the Liao land as his own, and he had a good calculation, which was also an unacceptable condition, "Third?!" ”

"Third, you and I should follow the example of the Song and Jin dynasties, and never invade each other!" However, the regent needs to compensate our army for the military expenses of this expedition, one million taels. In the future, the two sides need to do some small business with each other every year, and we will exchange 1,000 ginseng, 1,000 animal skins, and 100 Haidong pearls for 500,000 taels of silver, 500,000 pieces of silk, and 1 million pieces of cloth. ”

"Also, Daming needs to marry a princess to my Qing Dynasty; My daughter, Princess Dongor and Shuo, also married the regent and became the regent. After the two sides become in-laws of each other, they can maintain peace for a long time! ”

Fang Yuan laughed angrily when he heard this, Dolgon not only wanted to compensate for the military expenses of one million taels of silver, but also said that he was doing business in the name of doing business, in fact, that little bit of ginseng, animal skin, and Haidong pearl had a fart use, but he wanted to blackmail 500,000 taels of silver, 500,000 pieces of silk, and 1 million horses of cloth every year. Moreover, he had to send the princess to make peace with him, send a Donggu Gege over, and he had to squeeze the position of Princess Kunxing regent and princess.

In short, it is to be a Ming and a pro, to pay tribute, and not to be a minister.

Of course, it was this extremely harsh condition that Fang Yuan fought on the battlefield, forcing Dolgon not to make concessions. In the case of Wu Sangui in history, Shi Kefa's gang, if Dolgon could be invited back to the customs on this condition, it would be impossible to ask God to worship Buddha, and Dolgon would not be able to agree to such a condition.

Since Dolgon wanted the lion to open his mouth widely, without the sincerity of the peace talks, Fang Yuan was also happy to accompany him for amusement, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I also have a few immature ideas, you can listen to them." ”

"First, I believe in a foreign policy of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and it is up to the Korean people to choose who they want to get close to, who they want to garrison, and who they want to recognize as their suzerain. Neither of us nor China should forcibly intervene by force. ”

"Second, it has been more than 20 years since the war between you and us began, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. Since the formation of a brotherly state, the borders should be restored to before the battle of Sarhu. ”

"Third, as for the mutual market between the two sides, the previous diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and the outside world were all wronged. I believe in a market economy, free trade. The value of your ginseng, animal skins, and Haidong pearls should be determined by the merchants according to the market conditions, not by the imperial court. Of course, your food resources are insufficient, if the territory between the two sides is negotiated, every year the Ming Dynasty can start from a humanitarian point of view, supply you with 100,000 stone of grain, to solve your food shortage. ”

"Fourth, Princess Daming was born in a greenhouse since she was a child, and she is afraid that she is not used to the climate and customs of the northern country. And Princess Dongguo, who was born in the north since she was a child, will not be accustomed to the cumbersome etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is that I respect the princess and I like each other, and I will not let her give up the position of regent. Let the matter of intermarriage be stopped! ”

He made four offers, and Dorgon's face was gloomy, as ugly as he could be.

What is the non-interference in the internal affairs of North Korea, that is, the disguised recognition of the stationing of troops in the Korean State by the Xuanjia Army, which forms a huge deterrent to the borders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Before the Battle of Salhu, the Manchus would have to retreat to the old nest of Jianzhou.

What kind of market economy, the little ginseng and animal skins given by the Manchu Qing Dynasty are worth less than 50,000 taels of silver in the Haidongzhu market, and the tribute and New Year's coins are gone.

Dolgon said coldly, "It turns out that the regent has no sincerity in peace talks. ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think that if you can solve it, there is no need to move your mouth." Only if you can't solve it with your hands, you will solve it with your mouth, right? ”

He openly provoked Dolgon and the Manchus by force, which was absolutely unthinkable before. However, the defeat of the Battle of Shandong and Liaodong, the fiasco of Shanhaiguan and Fang Yuan's threat were by no means alarmist to Dolgon.

Dolgon said coldly, "The regent's intention is to fight me on the battlefield?!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled, got up and said, "Since Your Majesty has sent people into the customs to invade my Gyeonggi, of course I will have something in return." When I have wiped out all the Qing soldiers who entered the customs, let's talk to Your Majesty again! ”

Since both sides think that they can win, then what is there to talk about, it is a waste of words to continue, and it is not too late to talk about it when the victory or defeat is decided on the battlefields of Zunhua and Yongping.

Fang Yuan turned around and left, leaving Dolgon and his party behind, and went back to Shanhaiguan.
