"Can you find out where it came from?" Huang Taiji asked with a gloomy face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Great Khan! Not yet! One of the eunuchs replied tremblingly.

"Rubbish! Are you all rice buckets? What do I want you to do? Huang Taiji was furious.

"Damn it!" The eunuch fell to his knees, trembling.

"Keep checking for me! In addition, eliminate all the information that circulates, whoever dares to talk nonsense again, there will be no mercy! Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face.

"Slaves obey!" The eunuch replied tremblingly.

"Get out! You don't have to come back to see me until the matter is settled! Huang Taiji waved his hand in disgust.

"Slaves obey!" The eunuch replied tremblingly, and then quickly withdrew.

I don't know when it began, some rumors began to circulate inside and outside Shenyang, mainly several, first, Nurhachi wanted to pass the throne to Dolgon instead of Huang Taiji before his death, and Huang Taiji united with Dai to make good use of the conspiracy to obtain the throne; Second, Huang Taiji wanted to kill Mang Gurtai and bring the Zhenglan Banner under his banner; Third, in some recent wars, Houjin has lost again and again, mainly because of Huang Taiji's wrong command, so that tens of thousands of Dajin warriors died in battle, and were even captured by the Ming army; Fourth, Huang Taiji is ready to betray the Dajin Kingdom, he wants to surrender to the Ming Kingdom, and exchange the Dajin Kingdom for the life of his son Haoge!

The successive defeats on the battlefield made the always calm Huang Taiji a little impetuous, he exhaled, eased his mood, picked up the joint performance of Dolgon and Zilharang and looked at it, after watching it for a while, his expression was also very exciting, he smiled, frowned, and then sighed: "It seems that the affairs of this North Korea are not so smooth as imagined!" Putting down the song, he looked in the direction of North Korea and sighed slightly.

In the palace of Joseon, Dolgon and Zilharang sat opposite each other, and Zilharang sighed and said, "What do you think the Great Khan will do?" ”

Dolgon pouted and said: "Don't think about it, judging from the current situation, Dajin Country is unable to transfer materials and soldiers to support, I was counting on borrowing this North Korean material to give Dajin Country to tide over this crisis, who would have thought that these bastard Koreans actually burned all the materials that could not be taken away, and those who did not burn it often came to destroy us, it is really a bastard!" ”

"Now I have to deal with those uprisings and the remnants of North Korea who are making trouble at any time, it's really a headache!" Zilharang rubbed his temples.

"Look! It's better to first mobilize the materials that can be mobilized now, concentrate them in Seoul, and then leave some of the military supplies, and the rest will be transported back to Shenyang by you or me, and the current situation in North Korea does not need us to garrison troops here! Dolgon said.

"That's fine! Now that the North Korean royal family is gone, and the remaining remnants can't make any waves, let's start acting! Let the heavens decide their fate for these refugees left by the Joseon royal family! Zilharang sighed.

"We can't be so cheap for the North Korean royal family, send a sergeant to tell these refugees and the remaining Korean remnants that it's not that we Dajin doesn't care if they live or die, it's their king who burned all the grain, and we can't help it, we have to try to push this responsibility out!" Dorgon thought for a moment.

"Now that this North Korean sailor is in our hands, we will transfer it back together when the time comes, guard against Mao Wenlong, and surprise him when the time is right!" Zilharang Road.

"Unlikely!" Dorgon shook his head, "Be flexible! ”

"That's right! If one of the two of us goes back to Shenyang, I think it's more appropriate for you to go back! Zilharang said.

"Why?" Dorgon wondered.

"Look at this!" Zilharan threw a paperwork, and Dorgon opened it and looked at it, then frowned.

"Got it? Then I'm going to do something! By the way, you give the Great Khan a fold and tell me about our arrangement! Zilharang said.

Dorgon didn't speak, just nodded and pondered.

Dai Shan looked at the letter sent from Shenyang and sighed, this must be the Ming State sent spies to infiltrate Dajin to spread these rumors, Dai Shan shook his head, I hope the Great Khan can deal with it safely, Dai Shan said secretly in his heart.

It's been a month, the negotiations have been fruitless, so that the steady Dai Shan can't help but become a little impatient, this Ming official is really a little cunning, obviously nothing, but all the officials are shirking something, especially Li Yangde, basically go to see him behind closed doors, Dai Shan has raised the ransom to 10 million taels, but still can't get a reply from Li Yangde.

"Lord Belle! It's not good for us to drag on like this! Sony thought for a moment.

"Of course Ben Baylor knows! But you see what happened now, too! Dai Shan said helplessly.

"They must have thought we were asking too low!" Sony shook his head.

"Our Dajin country is not rich!" Dai Shan is helpless.

Sonny thought for a while and said, "Lord Belle! Anyway, we will raise the ransom to fifteen million taels, but there are conditions, in addition to the people we want to redeem us, the Ming Kingdom will also open up the mutual market with us! If Mingguo doesn't agree, then let's pack up and go back to Dajin! ”

Dai Shan thought for a while, and then said, "Then let's try it!" ”

Li Yangde looked at Dai Shan's revised document and pondered for a while, but he still didn't dare to make a decision, so he went into the palace to meet Chongzhen.

"Minister Li Yangde see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Li Yangde knelt down and bowed.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen smiled and put down the music in his hand.

"Why did you come to see me all of a sudden? What's the matter? Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please!" Saying that, Li Yangde handed over the document that Dai Shan had revised.

Cao Huachun took it and handed it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen opened it and looked at it, and then handed it to Li Yangde and said, "I think you can handle it!" Isn't it? ”

"Your Majesty!" What did Li Yangde want to say.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "I have already handed over this matter to you, I believe that your ability can be done well, I only look at the result!" ”

"I understand! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Yangde kowtowed.

"Then you go get busy!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Retire!" Li Yangde said and respectfully withdrew, and then returned to the Ministry of Rites, and ordered someone to find Dai Shan.

"Master Li! It's been good lately! Dai Shan said with a smile.

"The old man is very good! I just don't know if Baylor can adapt to me? Li Yangde said with a smile.

"Adapt! Ha ha! I'm a little reluctant to leave! Dai Shan laughed.

"In that case! Then Baylor will stay in my Daming, and I believe that my emperor will welcome it! Li Yangde smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Say it again! Again! "Dai Shan snorted!

"Let's get down to business, the old man you modified has seen it, this is enough to show your sincerity, but it's a little difficult to get to market!" Li Yangde said, "You have to know our relationship now!" ”

"Just can't do it?" Dai Shan raised his eyebrows.

"Add another 10,000 war horses for you!" Li Yangde stroked his beard and smiled.

"Impossible! No need to talk! Dai Shan directly refused.

"Then add an extra million taels, you have to know this up and down!" Li Yangde smiled and did not speak.

"Let's not talk about the silver, what can you provide us with this mutual market?" Dai Shan asked with a smile.

"Just like the Mongolian Zhubuluo, except for military supplies, everything else is fine!" Li Yangde thought for a while.

"We just lack military supplies, and we don't need anything else!" Dai Shandao.

"In that case, two million taels, so that the old man will strive to provide you with weapons, armor and food every once in a while!" Li Yangde said with a smile.

"We want firearms! Especially the artillery! Dai Shan smiled.

"Okay! Add 10 million taels! Li Yangde quoted with a smile.

Dai Shan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood after hearing this, this price is too arbitrary, right? "No! We don't have that much silver! "Dai Shan's head swayed like a rattle.

"And how much can you give?" Li Yangde didn't speak either.

"Fifteen million in total, at most!" Dai Shandao.

"Add 50,000 high-quality war horses, plus 2 million in silver, this is the limit, what the old man can fight for you!" Li Yangde said with a smile.

"Ten thousand war horses, one million silver, no more!" Dai Shan gritted his teeth.

"You must know that firearms are secret, and you want us to open the mutual market at such a price? You research and manufacture it yourself, and the price is not necessarily made, yes or no? Li Yangde said with a smile.

"Add another million to that silver! This is the limit, and we can't afford to do more! Dai Shan gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay! Deal! Happy working together! Li Yangde smiled.

"The firearms must be the same as those you use!" Dai Shan admonished.

"Don't worry! That's what we're using! We won't sell you firearms that we don't use! Li Yangde smiled.

Then the two of them made a list of official documents, each of them signed and sealed, and then each of them had a copy, Li Yangde nodded: "Baylor also arranges it, and you can take your people away tomorrow!" I'll let you know tomorrow when the market is interactive! ”

"Master Xie Li! I'm tired! "Dai Shandao.

Then the two separated, Li Yangde took the document to Emperor Chongzhen, respectfully handed over the paperwork, Chongzhen looked at it, and then put it down and said: "Aiqing has thought of a way out for me to eliminate those obsolete bird guns and artillery!" ”

"Lao Chen thinks that although it is risky to sell to the Tartars, the minister believes that my Ming and our Ming soldiers will definitely be able to defeat them!" Li Yangde said.

"It's nothing to sell this to them, firearms aren't that fun! Yes! So be it! This mutual market can be opened, artillery and bird guns can be sold to them as long as we have eliminated goods, but we must wait for our border army to be updated before selling, and grain can not be sold to them, the rest can be some ceramics, tea, silk, etc. can be sold to them in large quantities! I will send someone to organize a chamber of commerce to connect with them, and you can arrange it when the time comes! Chongzhen thought for a moment.

"Obey the order!" Li Yangde said.

"That's a great job! Aiqing go back and rest! I'll reward you later! Chongzhen smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Retire! After Li Yangde finished speaking, he retreated.

"Go and call Grandpa Zhu!" Chongzhen commanded.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun said.

Soon! Cao Huachun and Wei Zhongxian came to Chongzhen together, and Wei Zhongxian saluted respectfully: "Old slave see Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian said.

"There's nothing wrong with those pills, right?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! There will be no problem in two months, and they will definitely be allowed to see Hades in two months! Wei Zhongxian said with a sneer.

"Excellent! How about the other people who sent out? Chongzhen asked.

"All the best! Your Majesty rest assured! Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand.

"Lord Belle! It's time for you to take your medicine! A eunuch put the black medicine on the cabinet next to Mang Gurtai's bed, and then withdrew, Mang Gurtai supported himself and sat up, just about to pick up the medicine, ready to drink it, but at this time suddenly a voice said: "If you want to die, drink it!" ”

"Who?!" Mang Gurtai was taken aback.

"Whew!" A silver needle was inserted into the medicine bowl in preparation, Mang Gurtai looked around, but did not find the person, and then he still picked up the silver needle in confusion and put it into the bowl, and then, the silver-white needle turned into a pitch-black needle, like a cone thorn of death, and Mang Gurtai felt a chill in his heart.

"Who are you?" Mang Gurtai shouted.

"You don't have to know who I am! Just know that I'm the one who saved your life! A voice came.

"Whew!" A medicine bottle fell beside Mang Gurtai, and then the voice came: "One pill a day, and you will be cured in seven days!" Then the voice died down.

"Huang Taiji! You fat man! I actually want to kill Lao Tzu! You wait for Lao Tzu! Mang Gurtai said fiercely, his eyes showing a fierce light。。。。。。
