Chapter 356: Surrender Negotiations

"Master Overseer, do you say that the other party really surrendered, their troops are at least about 50,000 people, much more than us, if they fight hard, they will not necessarily lose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A partial general stood aside like Sun Chuanting to ask for advice, but he was very skeptical in and out of his words, after all, there are so many people on the other side who will definitely not surrender, and if they themselves will not surrender.

With 50,000 people alone, it goes without saying that they can become princes wherever they go, let alone others, and if they surrender, they must be considered only when they know that they belong to the weaker side.

"Don't worry, they will send someone over to negotiate soon, we just need to be ready to negotiate."

For the generals of the Manchu unified army opposite, Sun Chuanting was very confident that they would come out and surrender, and did not ask why, because the results of the public opinion war had already seen initial results.

The departure and absconding of a large number of soldiers has already made the people of the Manchu military camp on the opposite side panic, and everyone thinks about whether they will be caught, or whether they will die directly on the battlefield, thinking about their relatives and other problems, they feel that this battle will be lost.

For the commanders of the army, what they are most afraid of is that the war has not yet been fought, and this morale will not work, and if the morale is not good, it is a very dangerous thing, not to mention anything else, this soldier does not want to fight in his heart, so how can he contribute to the battlefield and how to win.

Therefore, generally speaking, morale is very important in fighting a war, and generals will think about how to improve morale, which is the key to winning the battle in the end.

Now that the opponent's morale has been affected, he will definitely not be able to win, so he is sure that even if he kills a few people, it is useless, most of the soldiers are thinking about escaping, so how can you win, there is no way to win at all.

So no matter what, Sun Chuanting is still very capable, otherwise he would not have been directly appointed as the general of the unified army.

Although the generals under his command don't know why the coach is so sure, but judging from his past experience, he feels that there is still some reliability, after all, Lao Sun is also a figure who once commanded an army of more than 100,000 people.

On the other hand, the Manchu camp was indeed a different scene, and the morale from top to bottom was in a depression, not to mention, and most of the people had already thought that if the Shangguan did not agree, they themselves would bring the past to surrender, and maybe they could also exchange for a good future.

At present, the army is approaching, and it is inevitable that a veteran like Sun Chuanting will make people feel scared, so at this time, everyone is discussing whether to surrender.

"General, let's surrender, the Governor has always managed his troops well, we are not his opponents at all, if we really fight like this, we will suffer."

From the perspective of war science, taking the initiative to surrender and surrendering to defeat are two different things, the former will have a higher status, after all, you are not defeated, you have obtained an official position by taking the initiative to surrender, and the other is that you were defeated and captured and surrendered, so this is definitely different.

The relationship between the two is naturally different, and the treatment enjoyed is also different, so no matter what, you still have to take the initiative to surrender.

But it is not so easy to take the initiative to surrender, although the Manchus handed over these to them to manage, it does not mean that they are not monitored, there are still some Manchu supervisors in the barracks, and the main task of these people is to monitor their every move, and immediately control the situation when they find that the situation is wrong.

The Manchus here didn't trust them very much, and Sun Chuanting was a very powerful enemy over there, and the gap between the two sides was obvious, so they were also very embarrassed at this time.

If you want to surrender, you must get rid of those Manchu prisoners in the barracks, otherwise you may be expelled yourself.

It is not difficult to get rid of the prison army, after all, this army is mainly composed of Han Chinese, and the Manchus do not have an advantage in numbers, so they still have the ability to get rid of people.

Now that you have this plan, it is natural to start making preparations, after all, you have to contact the other party first to see what kind of price they can offer.

If this price is too low, there is no need for them to take refuge, they can completely learn from Wu Sangui's method, hold the troops still, or directly lead the troops to retreat.

Although this practice is a bit bad, it is indeed the best way to preserve strength, isn't this what Wu Sangui did.

Now that the world is in turmoil, it is difficult to distinguish the reason, whether the Manchu Qing can unify Jiangnan is still a matter, the most important thing is to preserve their own strength, with strength is equivalent to having capital.

This is known to many people, and military power is equal to glory and wealth in troubled times.

So they sent a person to the Sun Chuanting military camp secretly to negotiate.

The person sent by the other party made Sun Chuanting attach great importance to it, after all, no matter what, this person is here to negotiate, and he must attach great importance to it, otherwise it will make those who want to surrender feel chilled.

After all, the number of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still limited, and he must subdue those former Ming troops to join, otherwise it will be difficult to manage such a large area.

The people who came told Sun Chuanting about their conditions, one is to hope that King Gui can issue a decree to exempt them from responsibility, and the other is to hope that all the previous things will not be investigated in the future, that is, to settle accounts after the autumn, which is a lot of fear, once they surrender, the other party will settle accounts after the autumn, and it will be mixed.

In fact, Sun Chuanting can still understand this, but he is not this kind of person, since the other party has surrendered, as long as you have no other ideas, he will not treat you like this.

After all, no matter what you say, you still have to do it for the world to see, if you kill all these people who surrendered, then others dare to surrender.

It's okay to promise not to kill them, but they must also promise not to take refuge in the Manchus, after all, if you take refuge back and forth, then you'll be sorry, and in one case, you must obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and there must be no complaints or anything like that.

Once these people take refuge in the past, they will definitely be transferred from their current posts, where to arrange them, the best is to go to the rear, you can be promoted and knighted, but it must be the rear, if you can lead the troops, a little uneasy.

After all, if a person takes the old army with him, then he may give you a mutiny at any time, so they must be asked to hand over their military power, so that it is possible to ensure their own safety, and it is also to ensure that there is no repeat of the lessons of the past.

Lao Sun is experienced in this area, so naturally he knows how to do it.

Of course, whether the other party can agree or not, may have to continue negotiations a few times, after all, negotiations are not over so quickly.
