Chapter 519 - Counting is Counting

In fact, it's hard to say.

The reason why he galloped back and forth was not for demonstration or provocation, although he was proud of his bravery and strength, and he had never seen anyone in his eyes, but after all, there were only three hundred horsemen, where did he dare to really provoke the defenders in the city?

The reason why he went back and forth was only because he couldn't find a place to deliver his letters.

The normal method is to shoot directly to the head of the north gate of Jinzhou, but the two fortresses outside the north gate of Jinzhou City, protruding sixty steps from the city wall, make him have no idea where to start.

In addition, the brightly lit fortress still has a spire, and the arrow will slide down immediately when it is fired.

He had no other way than to shoot the letters into the interior through the perforations of the bastion.

From the inside of the fortress, whether it is a cannon barrel, a gun barrel, or a bow and arrow, it is easy to shoot outward, but under the fortress, it is even more difficult to shoot arrows while riding a horse, and to accurately shoot into the narrow holes.

Thanks to this Aobai's strong arm strength and being a sharpshooter, otherwise if you want to deliver a letter from here, you won't be able to deliver it.

Ao Bai shot an arrow, and saw the arrow flying into the hole of the Ming army's enemy platform with a letter, and immediately roared, led his three hundred horsemen, and turned north.

At this time, no one in the fortress cared about the movement of Ao Bai anymore, and everyone's attention was on the letter in He Kegang's hand.

"Dongnu sued for peace? Does Dongnu really want to negotiate peace?! ”

The letter was not sealed with fire paint, He Kegang and the others naturally wanted to open it to see what was inside, so at a glance, everyone was shocked.

Of course, it is a good thing to negotiate peace, but on the condition of punishing Anton Hou Mao and Pyongyang Bo Liu Xingzuo, is this really to negotiate peace? !

At this time, almost all the guards of Jinzhou City were in this fortress, He Kegang knew that this matter was very important, and immediately ordered the generals around him not to leak the news, nor to discuss whether to fight or make peace in private.

Because once it spreads, not only will the former army of Jinzhou be shaken, but it will also spread to the Dongjiang River, and I don't know what Mao Dashuai and Liu Xingzuo will do?

On the evening of the day when he got the letter from Huang Taiji, he ordered Shi Zhuguo, the commander of the Zhongjun capital of the Jingdong Battalion, to lead a team of elite cavalry and rush to Ningyuan with the letter.

Shizhuguo and his entourage set off in the early morning, arrived at dawn, entered Ningyuan City with a pass token in hand, and successfully met Lu Shanji, the governor of Jiliao.

For such a thing, of course, Lu Shanji did not dare to be self-conscious.

Lu Shanji, who was born in a family of eunuchs for several generations, has both a decisive side and a sophisticated side.

Of course, the matter authorized by the emperor can be killed decisively, but he does not dare to deal with such a major matter as whether to negotiate peace with Hou Jin or not.

What's more, this peace negotiation is still a peace negotiation with conditions, with his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor today, and with His Majesty the Emperor's importance to Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo, how could he accept such conditions?

Although Huang Taiji's letter and letter were written to him, the Jiliao Governor, he would not have given anyone the authority to write a reply to Huang Taiji.

After seeing it in front of the Jinyi Wei Liaodong Qianhu Qianhu Sun Zhan, and the Shizhuguo who came to deliver the letter, he asked people to find fire paint, sealed the letter, and then returned it to Shizhuguo.

Write another letter, asking Sun Chan to send someone to accompany Shizhuguo, take the customs clearance token of the Governor's Mansion, and continue to go to Jingshi to deliver the letter.

On the first day of the seventh month, as soon as the Shuori Dynasty meeting in the Forbidden City's Jianji Hall ended, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, followed the emperor to the Qianqing Palace with Huang Taiji's letter to Lu Shanji and Lu Shanji's letter to the emperor.

In fact, last night, Gong Yonggu got the letter forwarded by Shi Zhuguo through the personnel of Jinyiwei Liaodong Qianhu Office, and met Shi Zhuguo and others who were ordered to deliver the letter overnight.

Although he knew that Ji Liao Governor Lu Shanji did not go through the political secretary, but reported to the Son of Heaven through the Jinyiwei channel in the form of private messages, there must be an unusual event.

But it was late at night, and the palace gate of the Forbidden City was locked, and no one dared to knock on the palace door at night unless there was a major event like the sky was falling.

It happened that the next day was the first day of the seventh month, so Gong Yonggu put it on the morning of the first day of the seventh month and brought it into the palace by himself.

Among all the imperial relatives in Jingshi today, Princess Le'an's concubine Gong Yonggu and her uncle's cousin Liu Wenbing can be regarded as the two most trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, not to mention that they are the commanders of Jinyiwei, so as soon as they pass the news, they will naturally be summoned immediately.

Today's Qianqing Palace is very different from the past, although the windows are still bright and clean, but the previous window paper and window screens were removed, and then replaced with a large piece of embossed glass, the brightness of the interior is naturally not comparable to the past, and the Chongzhen Emperor who lives in it has a much brighter and more transparent mood.

However, Gong Yonggu, who had something in mind at this time, did not have the leisure to admire the transparent glass on the doors and windows of the Qianqing Palace.

After following the imperial attendant military attache who came out to pick up the emperor into the imperial study room of the East Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Gong Yonggu performed etiquette, and immediately presented the two letters he brought to Emperor Chongzhen, saying:

"Your Majesty, last night Jinyi Wei Liaodong Qianhu Qianhu sent a member to accompany the Jiliao Governor's Mansion to control the Chinese army under He Kegang's command, and rushed to Beijing with two letters.

"One of them is written by Lu Shanji, the governor of Jiliao, and the other is sealed with fire paint, and the minister did not dare to open it without authorization, and it is now presented in its original form, please read it Your Majesty!"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was looking through the several issues of "Geography of the World" sent by Xu Hongzu, and when he heard Gong Yonggu's statement, he casually took the two letters handed over by the palace attendants.

As soon as he opened the letter written by Lu Shanji and looked at it a few times, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes widened, and his heart suddenly turned upside down: "This Huang Taiji is really interesting, it is the same as in history, what kind of tricks have you started to discuss and divide and kill people with knives?!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked in his heart, but his face was impassive, he read Lu Shanji's handwritten letter, and then directly opened the letter of discussion and delivery from Huang Taiji to Aobai to Jinzhou City, and looked at it expressionlessly.

"That's right! Sure enough, it was this Huang Taiji's request! How could Yuan Chonghuan easily agree to such a request at that time?! ”

Historically, there have been several correspondence between Huang Taiji and Yuan Chonghuan, but there are not many full letters that have survived to later generations.

Moreover, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it was retained after generations of Manchu emperors and many times tampered with and retouched, so it is no longer reliable.

In those preserved letters written by Huang Taiji to Yuan Chonghuan, it is natural that Yuan Chonghuan is asked to get rid of Mao Wenlong before he can negotiate peace.

However, in this life, Emperor Chongzhen got the letter written by Huang Taiji to Lu Shanji in his hand, but he wrote a request to punish Mao Wenlong.

Moreover, he not only accused Mao Wenlong of plotting against Liu Xingzuo, the general soldier of Fuzhou in the Later Jin State, and others, but also accused Mao Wenlong of mutilating the people in the north of North Korea in the Later Metal State.

Ask the Ming Dynasty to punish Mao Wenlong and return the Liu Xingzuo brothers, and then the Houjin can fight with the Ming Dynasty into a jade silk, otherwise it is the fault of the Ming Dynasty, it is the Ming Dynasty that wants to destroy the Houjin, and the Houjin can only rise up to resist.

Huang Taiji put the factual and reasonable side with Lu Shanji in the letter, but now the Chongzhen Emperor is a little dumbfounded.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care about the grievances and grievances mentioned by Huang Taiji in his letters, right and wrong.

Because there is no need to dispute the question of who is right and who is wrong.

In any case, since he has come to this era, he will wipe out the wild boar skin family no matter what, and he has never had any reason with him, or any idea of discussing and coexisting.

What's more, Huang Taiji's submission to negotiate peace is not to reason with the Ming court, in the final analysis, it is just a temporary plan to stabilize the Ming Dynasty.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen knows the outcome of this event in history.

Historically, the two goals that Huang Taiji wanted to achieve through peace negotiations were all achieved in the end.

Not only did he use the hand of Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Wenlong, who was a great threat to Houjin, but also confused Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting in Ningjin, and took advantage of the opportunity of the peace truce with Yuan Chonghuan to send troops to Mongolia, and after further subduing the Karaqin Mongols through the alliance, he suddenly went south and invaded Gyeonggi.

Originally, in history, Huang Taiji's abacus was so good that Yuan Chonghuan played it like a circle!

But this time, this abacus is destined to fail, and not only to make him unable to play, but also to make sure that he steals chickens and rice, and suffers a big loss!
