After the two battles of the Liaohe River and the Taizi River, the iron cavalry of the Ming army on the western front was like a bamboo, breaking through Haizhou and trapping Liaoyang, and had entered the city of Shengjing, besieging Shengjing.

The Ming army on the Eastern Front and the Korean Coalition Army, under the command of Zhao Quanzhong, had already surrounded Hetuala. Hetuarane had only two remnants of the Red Banner left, and he could easily take it. But without Fang Yuan's military order, Zhao Quanzhong did not dare to act without authorization, and chose to besiege rather than attack.

The two capitals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been cut off and surrounded, and they could only be slaughtered.

The regent Duoduo and the important minister Sonny personally came to the city of Quang Ninh with the letter of surrender from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

For such a major surrender ceremony, Fang Yuan invited Emperor Chongzhen, who was personally on the expedition, to participate, although Chongzhen came to Liaodong this time, just to travel. But after all, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was up to him to surrender and decide to deal with the Manchus, which was logical.

Duoduo and Sonny respectfully handed over the letter of surrender, and said, "The minister is the ......."

Fang Yuan coldly interrupted his later words, "Duoduo, Sony, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty has decided to go to the country and claim the title of minister, why don't you kneel when you see the Ming Emperor?" ”

Fang Yuan suddenly asked to kneel, although Duoduo was annoyed, but after all, the Manchu Qing had already declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, and kneeling and saluting the Ming Emperor was the etiquette, otherwise it would be a great disrespect!

Duoduo endured the humiliation, knelt down at Chongzhen and said, "Minister, Manchu Qing Zhengbai Banner Duoduo, meet the Ming Emperor!" ”

He was about to salute Fang Yuan, but was stopped by Fang Yuan, and said with a smile, "Duoduo! Seeing the Ming Emperor saluting, it is a matter of course, I am just the regent of the Ming Dynasty, so you don't have to salute! ”

Fang Yuan is very clear, the Ming Emperor is the Ming Emperor, the regent is the regent, you must kneel when you see the Ming Emperor, and you don't need to kneel when you see the regent!

He saw that Duoduo was kneeling honestly, and Sonny still insisted on not kneeling, and said coldly, "Sony, it seems that you two yellow flags are reluctant!" Take the book of the two yellow flags back! ”

Sonny was humiliated in public, his heart was like a knife, but as a messenger, the task of this line is to pass the letter of surrender and preserve the blood of the Jurchen clan, no matter how unbearable it is, he has to endure it, he can only have tears in his eyes, kneel down and salute, and hold the letter of surrender with both hands, "The minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty surrendered to the Ming Emperor, this is the national letter of surrender and ministerhood!" ”

Ma Yishan went to take over the letter of state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and out of etiquette and respect, he first handed it over to the Ming Emperor Chongzhen.

Chongzhen carefully reviewed the surrender book, this surrender, although he is the nominal protagonist, but the specific surrender matters, how the Jurchens migrate, how to manage, must also be decided by Fang Yuan, who is familiar with the affairs of Liaodong.

Chongzhen handed the surrender letter back to Fang Yuan, "Donkey, you are in charge of everything!" ”

Fang Yuan took the surrender letter and glanced up and down, and the surrender conditions mentioned in it were that the Manchu Qing could go to the country, the emperor, and be a vassal, and migrate to Hetuala, and form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, but the life of the Manchu Emperor Fulin must be preserved.

When Fang Yuan saw such a letter, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Duoduo, Sony, do you Manchus have any misunderstanding about going to the country and being a minister?!" ”

He suddenly asked, Duoduo is unknown, so what is the additional meaning of going to the country name and being a minister? Stunned, he asked, "Regent, we have changed the emperor's name to the Houjin regime, and we are also willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, what else is wrong?" ”

Fang Yuan put the book down, and said with a cold smile, "It's not proper, of course it's not, this is not going to the country name or being a minister at all, but to change the soup and not the medicine!" ”

Duoduo really couldn't hear the meaning of Fang Yuan's words, so he could only choose to shut up and look at Sony.

Sonny was already faintly aware that this surrender was far from being as simple as previously estimated, and exclaimed, "Regent, isn't it true that the two sides have returned to the situation before the Battle of Sarhu?!" ”

Fang Yuan laughed and said, "What is the situation before the Battle of Salhu?" If you want to recover, you should also return to the situation when Li Chengliang was still alive! At this time and that time, now even Nanyang is owned by the Ming Dynasty, but the Liao Land has not yet been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? ! ”

Sony previously thought that the conditions of the Ming Dynasty were to compare the Shaoxing Peace Conference between the Song and Jin, as long as they went to the country and called their vassals, the Manchus could still maintain an independent regime. I didn't think that Fang Yuan's idea was not to live in peace with the Jurchens, but to have other plans.

He and Dodor looked at each other again, and Dodor hurriedly asked, "What does the Lord Regent think?" ”

Now that the Ming army has already surrounded Shengjing and Hetuala, the Manchus can only sit and wait to be killed, where can they still negotiate the conditions?

Fang Yuan wasn't worried at all that there would be any more repetitions, and he said unhurriedly, "Duoduo, Sony!" Let me tell you, the so-called vassals of our Han people are not just as simple as changing the Qing Dynasty to Houjin and kneeling. The so-called vassal means that you must accept the rule and management of the Ming Dynasty! ”

He glanced around the two of them and continued, "The Ming Dynasty will re-establish the Jianzhou Mansion, and the military and political affairs of the Jianzhou Mansion will be managed by officials appointed by the Daming Dynasty. I can grant permission to give the area of Hetuara to you nobles and subjects who migrated from the Manchu Qing Dynasty for you to multiply, but you must accept the jurisdiction of the officials appointed by the Ming Dynasty, understand?! ”

Duoduo and Sonny suddenly realized that they had mistakenly thought that they were imitating the Joseon State as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuan's idea was to directly take over the territory of the Jurchens.

Cold sweat had soaked Duoduo's vest, and he said, "Regent, can I follow the example of Korea and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Duoduo, don't think about emulating the Korean state. The so-called great world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister, my idea is that even the Korean state should be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty! ”

As soon as he said this, not only Duoduo, Sony, but even Emperor Chongzhen were taken aback. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean State has existed as a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and has always served respectfully. This time on the expedition to Liaodong, the Korean State also vigorously helped, and Fang Yuan suddenly wanted to take the Korean State as well, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he saw everyone's shocked expressions, I even want to swallow Burma, Annam, Siam, Luzon, Batavia, these distant territories in the sky, not to mention the Korean country in front of me?

Korea is a small tail of the Liaodong Peninsula of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been a country in the Han cultural circle since ancient times. Keep this little tail and do it again in the future?!

Zhu Yuanzhang listed the Korean state as a country not to be conquered, but in order to end the war as soon as possible, he did not want to waste manpower and material resources in these foreign places, obviously because he was constrained by his vision and knowledge, and he could not see the changes in a few hundred years.

Fang Yuan, as a traverser, now the power of the Ming Dynasty is even stronger, of course, he must solve the problem of Liaodong once and for all, and can no longer leave the problem to future generations to solve.
