Chapter 454: Shang Keg's Conspiracy 1
readx;
Cao Huachun's episode ended, and a crisis of former ministers that might affect the overall situation of the negotiations was resolved by Zhu Qing strongly. The two sides www.biquge.info back to the negotiation situation.
Zhu Qing stood on the city gate, and said aloud to Dolgon with the peace conditions that had already been prepared, "The imperial court only has two points for you, one is to withdraw the troops and go out of the customs; Second, the emperor was withdrawn and the king was crowned. Do these two things, and everything is easy to talk about! Zhu Qing said, and without saying anything, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and with a "whoosh", an off-string arrow flew towards Dolgon's army carrying the conditions of the Ming court.
"Protect the Prince!" Rapid arrows flew, Shang Kexi and the others couldn't be careless, drew their swords and shouted, and led the guards to block forward, trying to block Dolgon behind them.
Unexpectedly, Dorgon chuckled, pushed the guards away, and shouted, "Get out of the way!" This king can catch it! As he spoke, the feather arrow was already close in front of him, and he saw Dolgon get up, flick the cloak, turn around, and "hula", and roll the feather arrow shot by Zhu Qing into the cloak, and when he sat down and took his hand out from under the cloak, there was already an extra feather arrow with a letter in his hand.
"The prince is very skilled!" Shang Kexi and the others couldn't help but flatter.
Dolgon sneered, "Hmph, it's not just their brocade guards who have the ability, don't forget, we steppe people are real riding archers!" As he spoke, Dorgon took the letter from the arrow and spread it out. Dolgon, who had already sat down, then slapped the case again, and this time, the anger on his face was unmistakable!
"I thought Zhu Qing was just scaring and scaring the king, but I didn't expect to come to the real thing, it's really too deceitful!" As Dolgon spoke, he passed the letter to Shang Kexi and the others beside him!
Although every detail is densely written on the letter, there are really only two points that Zhu Qing just said, "Withdraw the troops and leave the customs, withdraw the emperor and crown the king." "It is said that the Qing army should withdraw from the customs and return to the old nest of Jianzhou, and not invade Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places, but also revoke the emperor's title, and the Ming court will divide the king of the northeast and claim to the Ming Dynasty!
Obviously, this is a fairly clear sovereignty of the peace document, the Ming court mainly affirmed that the two points are the army and power, and in exchange for these two points the condition is that the Ming court let the Manchu Qing these three or four hundred thousand people out of the customs safely, and set up the Northeast County, the former Shunzhi Emperor Fulin as the king of the Northeast County, militarily allied with each other, the Ming court also paid Liaodong military salaries every year, and Liaodong also had to pay tribute to the Ming court every year to show its submission.
From this point of view, this peace negotiation is not as unbearable as Chongzhen and others thought, he not only preserved the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also exerted greater pressure on the Manchu Qing Dynasty! The Ming court was able to make such an important decision, in addition to the troops in his hands being able to fight with Dolgon, and the more important point was that Zhu Qing had already led his troops to sweep Shengjing, and captured the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin and Da Yu'er and the Manchu Qing important ministers and magnates, all of whom were in the Forbidden City at this time! Once this gang can't go back, it will be impossible for Dolgon to live in peace!
"Green Dragon! This is your sincerity?! Dorgon shouted angrily at the walls.
Zhu Qing nodded firmly, "This is the sincerity of my Ming Dynasty, so that we can exchange for the peace of both parties!" ”
"Humph! Joke! I, Dolgon, led a million iron horsemen to your capital, and you still want me to go back and be a little king of the Northeast?! Dolgon naturally refused to show weakness, he originally thought that in this negotiation, he could have a lion open mouth with Ming Ting, but he didn't expect that as soon as the negotiation began, he was angered by the other party's move.
"I don't want to go back to be the king of the mountain, do you still want to be the emperor?" Zhu Qing sneered.
"If it's too pushy, why not?!" Dorgon also fought-for-tat.
"Ask yourself, why? Just 300,000 or 400,000 people in your mere area? You also said just now, you brought a million troops into the customs, but as a result, in the face of Beijing, which has only 800,000 defenders, you not only can't defeat it, but also lose more troops than my Ming army, you are so sure that the remaining 300,000 or 400,000 people can fight against me, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty? Take a step back and say, even if you and I both lose, when the time comes, who will suffer more if we come to pick up the bargain? ! Although it is separated from the noon gate square, Zhu Qing's words can hit Dolgon's heart with every word.
Even though Zhu Qing's words were impacting Dolgon's strong mental defense line little by little, how could Dolgon compromise easily, after hearing this, he sneered, and stretched out his hand towards Shang Kexi, "Take it, he Qinglong thinks that I Dolgon has no bargaining chips!" ”
At this time, I saw Shang Kexi take out a piece of cloth from his waist, but it was a letter, the content of the letter was not yet known, but I saw that some of the handwriting in the letter was looming to the back, but it was Manchu!
Dolgon took the cloth, looked at it, and without saying a word, tied the cloth to the feather arrow, and shot at Zhu Qing on the city wall!
After the feather arrow was shot, Dolgon shouted coldly at Zhu Qing, "This letter is my secret letter from the Qing Dynasty, but it doesn't hurt to let you see it at this time, because even if you know, it will be beyond the reach of the whip!" After reading this letter, think about why this king is! Hum! ”
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The feather arrows flew, and Kill Feng and the others didn't dare to be careless, and joined forces with Liu Qingfeng, one of them blocked forward to protect Chongzhen, but the other pulled Chongzhen back and retreated behind him.
Unexpectedly, the feather arrow was intercepted by Zhu Qing before it was shot into the eaves! It can't help but make Chongzhen and the guards around him break out in a cold sweat in their hearts, fortunately, there is no danger!
Zhu Qing took down the letter, opened it and saw that it was written in a circle that it was all Manchu, fortunately, Zhu Qing had learned Manchu from Ning'er, this was not difficult for him, and some generals who couldn't understand Manchu looked at Zhu Qing suspiciously, "General, what does the content of this letter mean?" ”
Zhu Qing saw it, his face really changed, and he sighed and said, "This is Tudor's military information written to Dorgon, they have surrounded Nanjing......
"Afraid of what? There are also Shi Kefa in Nanjing, and they have nearly 100,000 people guarding it, and there are only 350,000 Tartars, so there is no need to be afraid. "I just interjected from Jiangnan's back Suzaku.
But Zhu Qing did not feel relieved because of this, but his face became more solemn, he glanced at the generals in the venue, and said worriedly, "Xu Hongfei's 50,000 people have already left Nanjing......
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, losing the 50,000 defenders of the White Lotus Sect, it was even more difficult for Shi Kefa to stop the murderous Duoduo!
"Xu Hongfei? White Lotus Sect Master?! At this time, Chongzhen suddenly asked.
The generals know that this will be another insurmountable hurdle for Chongzhen!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chongzhen was really furious, "Is it the cult demon?!" ”
The imperial court and the White Lotus Sect have always been incompatible, and now that Zhu Qing has not explained the matter of the White Lotus Sect and the Jinyi Guard Alliance, Chongzhen certainly can't bear such a thing happening! A new crisis is about to erupt.
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and when the Ming Court was once again facing a crisis of confidence, the traitor Shang Kexi jumped out to provoke again.
"Humph! Chongzhen, you know why you've fallen to this point, right? Because none of your subordinates listen to you, they not only form a party for personal gain, but also collude with the cult and exiles in order to deal with you, a mediocre and incompetent emperor! "Seeing the discord between the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Court, Shang Ke was happy to see that he came to add fuel and vinegar, and further intensified the contradiction between Chongzhen and Zhu Qing!
Sure enough, Chongzhen, who was already deeply suspicious, approached Zhu Qing step by step under Shang Kexi's provocation, "Is what he said true?!" ”
"Your Majesty...... I ...... "Zhu Qing is indeed a little worried, he can't hide this kind of thing no matter what, even if Zhu Qing doesn't say it, Chongzhen can understand Manchu!"
"I have always trusted you, trusted you Jinyiwei, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was not the foreign captives who put me to death, but you, the 'loyal ministers and good generals' around me, this time, Chongzhen's sorrow is better than anger, and no one can bear the betrayal of the most trusted person! What's more, it's a crime of deception?!
Zhu Qing also knew that the situation that had developed to the present situation was his negligence, and he should have explained the situation to Chongzhen earlier, but until the final predicament, could Chongzhen believe it?
"Your Majesty, the alliance with the White Lotus Sect was decided by the last general, and the last general went south to fight against the Japanese at that time, and annihilated ten warships in the Dengzhou area, so the White Lotus Sect assisted. The last general felt that Xu Hongfei, the young leader of the White Lotus Sect, was different from his father, and this young man was still a little conscious, so he had the idea of recruiting Andi, but at that time, the imperial court was planning to recruit An, and all kinds of conditions were ripe. Therefore, the last general will take matters into his own hands and establish friendly exchanges with the White Lotus Sect for the time being. As a result, in many matters of land reform and Zhao'an's invasion of the army, the White Lotus Sect showed a high degree of sincerity, did not wait to support the land reform in Shandong, and provided firearms support to Kaifeng Zhao'an, and what is even more rare is that Xu Hongfei promised to help us build a pontoon bridge from Ningyuan to Juehua Island, which saved the 50,000 troops in Ningyuan from being surrounded by the Qing army, and later went straight to Shengjing! He didn't ask Chongzhen to forgive himself, but begged Chongzhen not to fall for Dorgon's gratifying plan.
"Your Majesty, you can't blame Qinglong for this matter, if you want to blame you, blame the last general. This matter will be known for a long time, but I am worried that you will be too burdened to report it for a long time. This White Lotus Sect in Zhu Qing's efforts, it has indeed made a great difference, not only rarely against the imperial court, but also many times to help the imperial court, the last battle of Shanhaiguan, the second leader of the White Lotus Sect, Bai Ying led the troops to participate in the battle, but was seriously injured, and later took the injury to pick up Qinglong, and now he is still recuperating in the Bird Villa. At this time, Killing Wind also moved forward and admonished. From this point of view, Killing Feng, as the commander of the city during this time, has not returned to the villa for a long time, and they all think that Ning'er and Bai Ying have returned to the villa!
"Please put the emperor first on the overall situation and let Qinglong make meritorious contributions!" At this time, under the leadership of Liu Qingfeng, all the generals knelt down one after another and pleaded with Chongzhen! This seems to be a joint plea, but in fact it is more like a forced palace!
Chongzhen was filled with grief and indignation, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to put all these people he trusted the most into prison! But then? What is left of him Chongzhen?!
"Chongzhen, your indecision has ruined the first half of your life, do you want these people to ruin the second half of your life? Let's rule the river! The prince will personally send you down to Jiangnan, so that you can live happily in Jiangnan! Shang Kexi finally said the Manchu Qing Dynasty's intention to negotiate this time -- to divide the river and rule!
"Shut up! You dead traitor! I can't help a clown like you jump out and make irresponsible remarks! Chongzhen suddenly shouted angrily at Shang Kexi under the city, he had tears in his eyes, but he kept holding back, he felt that he was a puppet at the moment, at the mercy of others!
Everyone was shocked when they heard Chongzhen's roar, and suddenly, Zhu Qing leaned over and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty!" "Whether it is the duty of a courtier, or the admission of mistakes for the crime of bullying the king, or the admiration for the backbone of a king, Zhu Qing, who has always been unruly, knelt down on one knee in front of Chongzhen! Everyone was silent!
Chongzhen was also silent, he looked at this general he loved and hated, and couldn't make a decision for a long time!
"Report! Spot a red-crowned pigeon! In the silent silence of the Ming court's monarchs and ministers, a report came from the city gate, and a sentry came galloping with a carrier pigeon!
