Chapter 171: Singing a double reed
Seeing Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang refusing like this, Dolgon, who was anxious to achieve the results of the peace talks, had to grit his teeth and ran in front of the two, and even a handful of money rat tails with the back of his head flew up: "Please stay, you two, the next few items will follow you, but in the details, there are still debatable." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang glanced at each other when they heard this, and then turned around and walked back to the negotiation table very tacitly.
Dolgon was eager to eat the two now, but helplessly, it was his side that was anxious now.
The so-called peace talks are sometimes like this, although the peace talks are at the negotiation table, but the results of the peace talks have actually been decided long before the peace talks, after all, the results of the peace talks are based on the comparison of the strength of the two sides.
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a newly rising military aristocratic power group, but in the end it is still only a regime whose system is not yet perfect, and still stays in serfdom, and its national strength is naturally not as good as the Ming Dynasty, which is still dominating the world, although it is already late, and the Manchu Qing can only accept any requirements put forward by the Ming Dynasty if he wants to be dependent on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he can only obtain the means of survival through military aggression.
But the difficulty of the latter is obviously higher than the former, especially after Zhu Youxiao repelled the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the land of Gyeonggi, the Manchu Eight Banners did not dare to enter the customs and loot at will, after all, the current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty when Chongzhen, and the whole country has no soldiers who dare to fight.
What's more, the current Ming Dynasty has not yet had a large-scale peasant uprising, and it can fully cope with the entry of his Manchu Tartars.
"The number of tributes every year is five times more than in previous years, this is really embarrassing, my Qing country is poor and the people are lacking, if you have to scrape the ground three feet every year, take out five times the tribute, then it is better to fight, although your country is strong, but if you really don't give me the slightest respite, we would rather die in battle than be starved to death by you!"
Dolgon angrily slapped the table and turned his head to look outside, and it was clear that the peace talks had made him very depressed.
But Wen Tiren was tepid, still drinking tea, and was silent for a long time before blurting out: "Okay, my Majesty the Ming Emperor has always been lenient and benevolent, and treats everyone equally, according to his requirements, it is okay to only increase it by four times compared to previous years." ”
Yang Sichang glanced at Wen Tiren and couldn't help but smile, he naturally clearly remembered that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao had said that it was enough to triple it.
However, Yang Sichang did not expose it, but just shook his head, deliberately making a look of dissatisfaction with Wen Tiren's betrayal of His Majesty's requirements.
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Dolgon thought that Wen Tiren was deliberately playing tricks on himself by proposing five times at the beginning, and because of this, he deepened his hatred for this Ming Rite Zuo Lang, and even couldn't help but curse secretly: "Old fox! ”
"Four times is fine, my Qing Dynasty can only barely maintain it, your country is a father, and it is too stingy!"
Dolgon clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to say this, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he didn't directly agree to five times the number.
Wen Tiren hesitated for a while and did not speak.
Yang Sichang also pretended to be unwilling to glance at Wen Tiren, and said: "Wen Shilang, I remember that Your Majesty has always said that it is five times more than in previous years, but not four times, and now you have changed Your Majesty's requirements without permission, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame you, don't pull me." ”
Wen Tiren made a very unhappy look, glared at Yang Sichang angrily, and put the teacup on the table heavily: "This official bears it!" Could it be that the peace talks have been delayed, and the official is still in a hurry to return to Beijing to ask for a return to his hometown and relatives. ”
"Good!"
Yang Sichang nodded, and pretended to be depressed: "Let's talk about the land south of Haizhou Wei, according to the requirements of our majesty, the north of the Liao River is the domain given to your country, but you still occupy more than forty cities south of Haizhou Wei, and this must be returned." ”
Except for a few important towns in Liaodong today, most of them are actually terra nullius, very barren, and even after the occupation of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, most of them destroyed their castles and abandoned the place.
Therefore, Dolgon didn't feel anything, so he agreed, but he coveted the fertile land around the Daling River for a long time, after all, his Great Qing Kingdom did not only rely on fishing and hunting for a living, there were also a large number of serfs who needed land to cultivate, and there were more fertile fields in the Daling River area, so Dolgon also brought this up.
"This doesn't matter, although this place is now controlled by Wu Xiangbu, the king of Liao, but it is also the land of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this official will give you the decision for His Majesty, but the land of the peninsula south of Haizhou Wei has to be returned to me Daming."
Wen Tiren secretly kicked Yang Sichang with his foot as he spoke, Yang Sichang understood, so he immediately slapped the table, stood up angrily, pointed at Wen Tiren and shouted: "Wen Shilang!" Have you forgotten how Your Majesty explained to you at that time, the peninsula south of Haizhou Wei is a sparsely populated wasteland, and Your Majesty wants this place, but in fact, it means that even if the land of the Daling River is in the hands of the King of Liao, it cannot be attributed! ”、
Yang Sichang shut his mouth when he said this, and made a look of regret that he had leaked his mouth, and then sat down directly: "No matter what, anyway, this official can't agree, it must be south of Haizhou Wei, including the land around the Daling River, must be recognized as belonging to my Daming, and the towns of Dalinghe occupied by your country must also be returned to my Daming." ”
Without waiting for Dolgon to speak, Wen Tiren here first argued with Yang Sichang.
I saw that Wen Tiren was also so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he said sharply: "This official is the main envoy of this peace discussion, you Yang Sichang pay attention to the order of respect and humility, don't think that if you put your name in front of Your Majesty, you can despise this official, this official will tell you now, this official is the sixth department and nine secretaries, and he has the right to perform secret folds, and now he can expedite eight hundred miles into Beijing to impeach you!" ”、
Saying that, Wen Tiren said again: "This matter is just a matter of making the decision, you don't have to say more." ”
Yang Sichang also waved his sleeves angrily and wanted to leave his seat angrily.
Dolgon, on the other hand, was very proud of this, and he was glad to see the discord between the two envoys of the other party, so that he could take advantage of the discord between the two to find out more information.
He now at least feels that although Wen Tiren, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is cunning, he is also a little unfirm and perfunctory, and Yang Sichang, the military selection division of the Ministry of War, is obviously a little short-tempered and upright, but he is a person who is firm and principled, and now the two of them are so troublesome, it is conducive to fighting for more interests for the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, when Dolgon saw that Yang Sichang was leaving, he ran forward quite kindly and persuaded Yang Sichang back: "Deputy Envoy Yang, don't be in a hurry to leave, since it is a peace discussion, let's talk with a peaceful one, why be angry, but Deputy Yang should not be too stubborn, Wen Zhengzhi did this in order to make the peace talks go on well, this detail can be arbitrary, the land of the Daling River is the land of my Qing Dynasty Longxing, so please don't take it by force." ”
"No matter what, such a traitorous act is not done by me Yang, when someone loses his head, don't think of me to intercede!"
Yang Sichang said a word and sat back, just like that, the peninsula south of Haizhou Wei was owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the land of the Daling River outside the Guan, which was given to Wu Xiang of the Guanning Army, was directly sold to Manchuria by Wen Tiren.
