After a few days of daily work, Guo Dalu went to Peng Xinggui's glass products store to order a batch of new goods, Boss Peng didn't say a word and agreed to any request from Guo Dashao with a smile, and sent Guo Dalu away to actively stock up, and sent it to "Fengyi Manor" early in the morning on the third day.

This order is more than 90,000 yuan, and Boss Peng received more than 20,000 yuan in two days, and when he saw Guo Dalu transferring money with his mobile phone, he laughed so much that his back molars came out.

It also took a lot of effort to remove all the packaging, and this work alone took Guo Dalu half a day's effort, and he was tired of it, so he had to rest for a long time, and it was night, and then he brought nearly 9 cubic meters of glass products to the past.

The rest of the work is Guo Shou did it, re-packed overnight, wrapped up with straw one by one and put it into a wooden box, this is two days away from the agreed transaction time, no hurry, Guo Dalu also found that he had a problem with the time to do things this time, people on both sides of the work efficiency is not the same, this has to pay attention, in the future, no matter what.

All the goods were packed, Guo Shou called someone to load the car, and the boxes were loaded into the ox cart and tied up firmly, and the heart that had been carrying it was relaxed, and Guo Shou was already paralyzed on the ground.

Guo Dalu was really embarrassed to ask Guo Shou to escort the goods, and kindly arranged for Guo Shou to rest at home, and he got into the carriage and ran this trip himself.

Alas, who called the Guo family no one.

Almost pinching, a team of ox carts slowly arrived at the county seat Guo's grain store, a middle-aged man in his forties heard the news and greeted him, and when he saw Guo Dalu getting off the carriage, he asked: "But Dalu Xian's nephew is in person?" ”

I didn't know it, "This gentleman, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Oh, my name is Yan Song, I am your uncle, and Yan is my sister."

"Ah, I don't know my uncle is in front of me, and my little nephew is rude." Hurry up and give it up.

"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, they are all family, a few days ago, your father sent a housekeeper to find me, saying that he was too busy with family affairs, and specially asked me to help the virtuous nephew."

"Don't dare, don't dare, uncle, let's unload the goods and go into the house first."

"Uh... Yes, yes, look at my temperament, please. ”

"Uncle first, please, I'll arrange for them to unload first."

"Okay, I'll watch too."

arranged for everyone to move the goods into the inner courtyard and put them away, Guo Dalu sat down with Yan Song to talk, and the two had a preliminary understanding of each other during the conversation.

Yan Song is inevitably dissatisfied with such a nephew as Guo Dalu, the most direct reason is that the Guo family has no queen, and he can't say what will happen to this huge family property after his brother-in-law is a hundred years later, if the Yan family is still alive at that time, then there is a great possibility, and in the end, everything in the Guo family will be arranged by the Yan family to be merged into the Yan family, which will be the result of no choice.

But now, with Guo Dalu, this may be completely gone.

However, now that his brother-in-law has called him over to participate in the Guo family's business, does that mean that his brother-in-law also has a certain degree of wariness against this nephew? I can't say that there is a turning point in this matter, and I am going around with him.

Guo Dalu is also measuring Yan Song's ability and character, after all, the business that he needs to handle in the future is at the level of one million taels of silver, and his character is unreliable, or his ability is insufficient, it will not work.

After a conversation, Guo Dalu has a general concept, the Yan family is also a landlord's family, but there is not as much land as the Guo family, about half of them are also small landlords, it is also a coincidence, the Yan family only has two sisters and brothers in Yan Song's generation, the Yan family married into the Guo family, everything in the Yan family is Yan Song, however, to Guo Dalu's generation, the Yan family has more, Yan Song has three sons and one daughter, that is to say, Guo Dalu has three cousins and one cousin. The eldest cousin is already a showman, the second cousin is working hard, and the third cousin and cousin are only fourteen or fifteen years old.

In general, Yan Song is about the same level as Guo Da, and his ability to deal with people and think about the world is at the same level. There are a lot of petty treacheres, but there are no big treacherous evils, mainly because they don't have the guts, and their vision is higher than that of ordinary people, but they are far inferior to the shopkeepers of several major commercial houses.

Guo Dalu was worried that Yan Song would not be able to get excited when he delivered the goods to the three shopkeepers, so he had to shake him up in advance. So, Guo Dalu personally pried the boxes and picked up the goods, and put the glass products on the table again...

Yan Song didn't say anything about the shocked feelings, anyway, until the three shopkeepers came to hand over the goods, they offset the IOUs they brought last time, and each gave Guo Dalu three new IOUs worth more than one million taels, and Yan Song couldn't say a word during the whole process.

After the transaction was over and the three shopkeepers were sent away, Guo Dalu turned his head and had a heart-to-heart conversation with Yan Song, and put forward some hopes for this cheap uncle, and finally handed over the three IOUs worth more than one million taels of silver to Yan Song, saying that in the future, this business matter would be completely handed over to him.

Yan Song, who hasn't completely come back to his senses, continues to be stupid again, what's the matter? I'm going to do such a big business? Why do you say your heart is so big! You're not afraid of me...

Okay, I won't, and I don't dare, now Yan Song's heart has shocked Guo Dalu as a celestial, he is naturally quite clear about what the situation of the Guo family was before, then, now the changes in the Guo family must be brought by this nephew, there is no other possibility, can't this be shocking and scared? In other words, what is there to be afraid of, hugging the thighs of the Guo family, what will the Yan family worry about in the future!

Just when Guo Dalu was training his cheap uncle, another major event happened in the imperial court.

On the third day of the first month of August, the imperial court's "Di Bao" released a fold of news, the original text is not described here, it is all in classical Chinese, which means that the imperial court is going to negotiate peace with the Manchus outside the Guan, and the Manchu Emperor Taiji has already replied to Emperor Chongzhen, and the two have begun to hook up behind the back of the minister. It can be seen from the reply that Huang Taiji is still very sincere about the peace, but he has no confidence in Chongzhen's sincerity. For a long time, Huang Taiji has been discussing peace as the topic and constantly maneuvering with the Ming Dynasty. Between war and peace: the purpose of negotiating peace is to choose a more favorable time to start a war, and war is to be able to choose a suitable time to promote peace between the two sides.

To put it simply, it is to talk while fighting, and to fight while talking.

During the Nurhachi period, he always hoped that the Ming court would crown him as the king and order the ethnic minorities in the northeast. Although Huang Taiji's strength was much stronger than that of Nurhachi, he always hoped to maintain friendship with the Ming and develop trade. Even when the Ming War was repeatedly won, he also wrote a word lower than the Ming Emperor on the peace documents, and accepted the Ming court's request to obey the Ming Zhengshuo and cancel the "false name". When he was fledgling and invaded the interior many times, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to parry, he still issued notices many times saying that he was willing to be friendly and negotiate peace with the Ming.

Huang Taiji also sent the edict issued by the original Ming Dynasty to the four Jurchen tribes of Haixi and the Mongol tribes that he had snatched during the campaign, which was a trade license, which was kept until the twelfth year of Chongzhen (the fourth year of Chongde of the Qing Dynasty), indicating his desire to develop trade with the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that there was originally the possibility of successful negotiation between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Of course, to turn this possibility into reality, the Ming Dynasty needed to pay the necessary price, that is, to recognize the existence of the Later Jin (Qing) entity, set aside regions for its rule, and crown it as king. Although this damaged the prestige of the Ming rulers, it could calm the war, stabilize Liaodong, and alleviate the country's troubles. And to maintain the status of the Ming Dynasty as a "great power of the Celestial Empire".

And the practice of using money to seal the king was not without precedent in the Ming Dynasty. So when Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were in a hurry, they remembered this stubble. After the two discussed secretly, they sent the secret envoy Ma Shaoyu to Shenyang to find Huang Taiji to seek the possibility of peace.

Huang Taiji's maturity and steadiness also prompted him to think deeper than the ministers and a step higher than Emperor Chongzhen. Huang Taiji felt that the current internal stability situation was formed because of the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and once this great enemy was lost, the stability and harmony within the Qing court would collapse. Only after some victories can one maintain one's rule by strengthening internal rectification and taming the surrounding forces.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (the seventh year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, 1642) in the fifth lunar month, based on the analysis of the situation of the enemy and us, although the nondescript "peace letter" of the Chongzhen Emperor made him very unhappy, Huang Taiji still made a compromise, warmly received Ma Shaoyu and other envoys, and gave them generous rewards, after more than half a month of negotiation and consultation, on the third day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, when Ma Shaoyu and others left Shengjing, Huang Taiji sent officials to send them to fifteen miles away to set up a banquet, and ordered the sergeants to escort the mission to the territory of Lianshan controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji wrote a long letter to Emperor Chongzhen, which was forwarded by Toma Shaoyu. In the letter, Huang Taiji traced the historical origin of the war between the Later Jin (Qing) and the Ming Dynasty, and said that although the Qing army was already victorious, he was still willing to negotiate peace. Judging from the text, Huang Taiji's attitude is relatively humble, and after some polite words, Huang Taiji put forward four conditions for a truce that are not too harsh, and there is no threat between the lines.

Despite this, Huang Taiji did not have much confidence in the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty, and he issued an ultimatum at the end of the letter: "If you are not willing to reconcile, do not send an envoy again...... If it does not arrive in September, the army will be ordered. ”

Huang Taiji's meaning, "Chongzhen, if you want to make peace, hurry up, don't beep if you have nothing to do, if you have something to think about, don't send someone over to bother Lao Tzu if you don't think about it, it's all about carrying the handle and talking about it, and when you get to September, you won't come to talk about it." ”

Ma Shaoyu happily returned to the capital after completing the task and getting the reply, and wrote down the situation of the peace proposal and presented it to his immediate boss, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, together with Huang Taiji's reply.

Chen Xinjia's two goods because he hadn't seen the recommendation vote for a long time, he was in a hurry to go to the court to brush his sense of existence to earn a monthly ticket reward, and he hurriedly ran away with the letter on the desk, and his scholar mistakenly thought it was "Tang Bao" (copied to the report of the ministers), and began to copy it without asking Chen Xinjia, and it was published in the government newspaper "Di Bao" at that time!

This time can cause a big disaster, originally a confidential peace process, but suddenly by the ministers and hundreds of officials, the government and the opposition are in an uproar, and many ministers have written to impeach Chen Xinjia for being greedy for life and fear of death, compromising for perfection, and privately agreeing on peace terms.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were rather strange, and the traditional habitual idea that the so-called great powers of the Celestial Empire should not be offended always prevailed. The government and the opposition have always firmly believed that the Houjin (Qing) was a national thief and a murderer, and they would like to make a big show of it, eliminate it, sweep it away, and never make peace with it. At the beginning of the peace talks, they were constantly besieged and cursed. The peace talks were denounced as "forgetting the country and thieves", "damaging the prestige and humiliating the country", and "cursing the teacher and raising the coward", which was a "misfortune" and would "cause endless provocations".

There is an example to illustrate that in 1638, the Qing army invaded the Ming Dynasty for the fourth time. Zhu Youzhen solicited opinions from Comrade Lu Xiangsheng, commander of the Henan Military Region, who had come to reinforce him, hoping to get a proposal for reconciliation, but Lu Er, who knew that it was not the opponent of the Qing army, could not win, was stunned and said: "I am the main battle!" "Nima is so heroic! As a result, he died in the first battle.

The few who negotiated peace did not fall well.

Yuan Chonghuan was finally convicted of "plotting money to collaborate with the enemy", and Qian Longxi, a cabinet minister who supported Yuan Chonghuan, was also unforgivable for the crime of "plotting money for the main money".

Yang Sichang presided over the peace meeting, which caused an uproar and attacked it in groups.

And now that Chen Xinjia and the Qing Dynasty have been exposed, this is a very happy thing, and everyone can work hard in the court again, and suddenly public opinion is boiling, and it is difficult to calm down, and Emperor Chongzhen can't find the north. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen, who has always regarded himself as the monarch of Zhongxing, has undergone a huge change in his thinking, and his heart is unwilling to leave others with the impression that he cannot cope with the current situation and bows to the "barbarians", and feels that it is his own shame to negotiate peace, so he put the responsibility on Chen Xinjia and ordered Chen Xinjia to repent.

If you regret it, you will regret it, what a big deal, but Chen Xinjia and these two goods think that I do everything according to your wishes, why do you want me to carry the black pot now, if you don't accept it, I want to petition. It's a person who knows that there is no good result in petitioning, and sure enough, in the end, Chongzhen was annoyed, and the two goods were cut out and dragged to death.

A very effective peace negotiation, a good opportunity to rewrite history to save the country, but because Emperor Chongzhen died to save the emperor's face and Chen Xinjia's imprudentness, it ended hastily. A typical example of a minister who is not secretive is lost!

But this kind of thing is not something that your Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers say about it, and my Qing Dynasty can't be tricked like this, so Huang Taiji will punish you on behalf of Sister Yue.

In November, the Qing Dynasty sent troops to Shanhaiguan to enter the fortress and plunder, penetrating deep into the hinterland of Shandong, capturing more than 300,000 people.

By the way, isn't there a courier, what are you doing? (Xiao Li's narrator: "Ignore me, I'm annoying!") This will be around the Kaifeng Mansion in a circle, is hi, all of them have been around for half a year and have not been opened. ”）
