Chapter 202 A Peace Treaty to Come
Dai Shan and Dolgon took turns to serve as negotiators for the Dajin Kingdom, and after several rounds of negotiations between them and Huang Xiaofu, the goals of the two sides were very close.
On land, the two sides agreed that with Quang Ninh as the boundary, Quang Ninh and the area south of Quang Ninh will return to Daming, and the north and east of Quang Ninh, including the entire southern Liaoning region, will permanently belong to the Dajin State.
Regarding the large number of Han Chinese who were stranded in Dajin, both sides agreed that it was up to them to decide whether they returned to Dajin, and that Dajin would no longer ask Dajin to forcibly send them back, but if they themselves were willing to go back, Dajin could not prevent them from returning.
Only on the issue of reparations, the two sides are at an impasse, and neither can convince anyone.
Dai Shan estimates that the final result may be a situation in which the two sides do not compensate each other.
Huang Xiaofu not only received the beauties, but also received the silver and jewelry from Daishan and Dolgon, and wandered around the streets and alleys of Shengjing every day, waiting for the next round of peace talks.
But Huang Taiji was not in the mood to hang out, and the spies he sent had already returned from Quang Ninh.
As Chasi Majin reported, Mang Gurtai was defeated in Guangning, 9,000 cavalry, and now there is less than one Jiala left, he can only nest in Xiping Fort, neither dare to go out of the city to fight with the Ming army, nor dare to return to Shengjing, even the military report sent back to Shengjing is fake.
Huang Taiji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In addition to being angry, he was more surprised.
Yue Tuo and Mang Gurtai lost one after another, so it was not a matter of their command, but the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Is it the new firearms of the Ming army that are powerful, or is Yuan Chonghuan well commanded?
The blue flag is gone again.
The Jurchen Eight Banners, which used to be the symbol and pride of Nurhachi, are now in the hands of his Emperor Taiji, and only six flags remain.
The Zhenghuang Banner under his own control, the Yellow Banner under the control of Haoge, and the Zhenghong Banner under the control of Daishan must defend Shengjing and defend the authority of his Great Khan, and the Blue Banner of Jilharang must deal with the Dongjiang Army of Chao # Xian and southern Liaoning.
The only armies in his hands that could move were the white flag of Dordo and the white flag of Dorgon.
While pestering Huang Xiaofu with peace talks, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon to transfer all the white flags to the front line of Liaoyang and Gaizhou, officially taking over the front line of the confrontation between Dajin and Daming.
The remnants of Mang Gurtai's Blue Banner were transferred back to Shengjing.
As soon as he returned to Shengjing, Mang Gurtai was secretly imprisoned, and Huang Taiji deprived him of the position of banner master on the grounds of losing his troops, and Azig served as the banner master of the Zhenglan Banner and re-established the Zhenglan Banner.
Huang Taiji's order to Azig was that the Zhenglan Banner should form at least twenty Niulu, that is, four Jiala.
Because Yue Tuo was a close confidant, he was restored to the position of the banner master, and Huang Taiji ordered him to make meritorious service and reorganize the red flag.
Emperor Taiji arranged all the qiē, and the time had already arrived on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Han people, but in the Dajin Kingdom, except for a very few Han people, most of them were Jurchen coats, and in addition to working, no one knew that the new yuan was coming.
Only Huang Xiaofu knows that he has been counting the days of his return and waiting for the opportunity to review.
On the day of the Han people's Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Taiji did not know that on this day, accompanied by Dai Shan, he received Huang Xiaofu, the messenger of Daming.
He wanted to end the peace talks as much as possible and conclude a formal peace pact with the Ming Dynasty.
He wasn't afraid of Da Ming, but recently, Da Ming has won one victory after another on the battlefield, and he needs time to integrate the Eight Banners, and he also needs time to figure out the reasons for the increase in Da Ming's military strength.
"See the Great Khan!" Huang Xiaofu was not a subject of Huang Taiji, he did not kneel to Huang Taiji, but just arched his hand and performed the etiquette of a Han people.
"Mr. Huang doesn't have to be polite!" Huang Taiji's tone was very gentle, he didn't look like the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom at all, but more like an ordinary official, "Ben Khan has been busy with domestic affairs, so he neglected Mr. ”
"The Great Khan is serious, the Great Khan is in charge of the Dajin Kingdom, and the affairs are naturally busy. The fact that the Great Khan was able to take time out of his busy schedule to meet Huang shows that the Great Khan attaches great importance to the peace talks. Huang Xiaofu saluted again.
"Mr. Huang came to Dajin Country for the first time, this is a little bit of Ben Khan's heart - this is the rule of Dajin Kingdom, Mr. Huang must accept it." Huang Taiji Nunu mouth, the eunuch stuffed a silver ticket with the "Hengyuan" ticket number to Huang Xiaofu.
Huang Xiaofu took it and looked at it, obediently, 20,000 taels of silver, the Great Khan is the Great Khan, which is bigger than Dai Shan's handwriting.
"Great Khan ......"
"Mr. Huang is a guest from afar, this is a little reward from Ben Khan, this is the practice of my Dajin Kingdom, Mr. does not have to worry." Huang Taiji waved his hand, unwilling to mention the silver ticket again.
"So, Huang thank you Da Khan, Da Khan, isn't you going to talk about peace today?"
"Today is for peace talks, but peace talks will not affect the hospitality of our Dajin country, Mr. Huang only needs to know about our friendship."
"The Great Khan means ......," Huang Xiaofu hesitated.
"Mr. Huang, what you and the two Baylors talked about, Ben Khan has already known, and in principle, Ben Khan will agree: first, Dajin and Daming, with Quang Ninh as the boundary; Second, the Han people stranded in Dajin came and went freely. Huang Taiji's words changed, "This conflict between the two sides was caused by the Ming Dynasty's strong attack on Dajin, and the Dajin Kingdom lost thousands of cavalry, but the loss of Daming was not large, and the Ming Dynasty compensated for the funeral expenses, which is not excessive, right?" ”
"Great Khan ......" Huang Xiaofu wanted to distinguish a few words.
"Mr. Huang has been in my Dajin Kingdom for so long, doesn't he have any feelings for my Dajin Kingdom?" Huang Taiji stretched out his hand to stop Huang Xiaofu's defense, "The land of my Dajin Kingdom is a desolate land in the far north, and the products are only horses, cattle and sheep, but Daming is a treasure of nature, occupying the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and now, my Dajin Kingdom no longer covets the property of Daming, and the permanent peace between the two sides is also a great achievement of Mr., right?" ”
"This ......" Huang Xiaofu hesitated, still not daring to agree to Huang Taiji's conditions.
"Mr. Huang," Dai Shan, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "Our Dajin Kingdom has always treated Mr. as a guest, and whatever can be thought of will definitely make Mr. happy, doesn't Mr. regard the people of Dajin Kingdom as friends and brothers?" ”
"This ...... Great Khan, Great Baylor, it's just that the amount of this compensation ......" Huang Xiaofu was hesitant, he felt that he was too indecisive, hey! Take other people's and have soft hands; eats other people's people, and has a soft mouth; Those who sleep in other people's homes are soft-hearted; It's the same all over the world.
"What is this amount...... Huang Taiji's face turned to the sky, but the afterglow of his eyes was peeking at Huang Xiaofu, "One million taels...... It seems that there are too much, and your Emperor Chongzhen may not agree, just 500,000 taels! ”
The color on Huang Xiaofu's face changed several times.
When he heard Huang Taiji say one million taels, his face turned white with fright, and when Huang Taiji said that one million taels was too much, he put his mind at ease, and his face had just recovered a little blood.
Huang Taiji changed the amount of compensation to 500,000 taels, which is also a bit scary, but it is better than 1 million taels.
Huang Xiaofu's face is acting in Sichuan opera, and his heart is on a roller coaster.
"Great Khan ......" Huang Xiaofu was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
"Mr. Huang is worthy of being a friend of my Dajin Kingdom, a person with affection and righteousness." Huang Taiji made a summary, which can be regarded as setting the tone for the end of the peace talks.
"Great Khan, although Huang is grateful for the hospitality of the Dajin Kingdom, and even more grateful for the friendship between the Great Khan and the two Belle Lords," Huang Xiaofu almost cried with a sad face, "But the compensation of 500,000 taels to the Dajin Kingdom is really not a small amount, Huang really can't be the master, and he must wait for the approval of His Majesty before the peace treaty can take effect." ”
"Of course, of course." Huang Taiji waved his hand, "Da Baylor, first draft the content of the peace treaty, and when His Majesty Ming approves it, the peace treaty will take effect, and from then on, Dajin and Daming will be a state of brothers." ”
Huang Xiaofu didn't know how he got back to the inn.
Such a peace agreement, if it was placed five years ago, when the Ming Dynasty lost ground in Liaodong, it could barely be said.
But now, the Ming Dynasty has won victories in Liaodong, and the Jurchen Eight Banners have been extinguished by Yuan Chonghuan.
In the case of a military victory, he wanted to pay compensation to the other party, Huang Xiaofu was not convinced no matter what, but he signed the peace treaty, and he couldn't complain about others.
He has already signed the peace treaty, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, on behalf of the Dajin Kingdom, have also signed the peace treaty, as long as Zhu Youzhen signs his name on the peace treaty, the peace treaty will officially take effect.
On the way back to the inn, the more Huang Xiaofu thought about it, the more angry he became.
Dolgon gave him three dancers, Daishan gave him two dancers, and when Huang Xiaofu returned, five women rushed to greet him at the door of the inn.
These five women, as long as Huang Xiaofu is willing, can bring them back to Daming, but he only likes two of them, both of them were sent by Dolgon.
One was the dancer who liked to wear a butterfly green dress, her name was Hardy, and the other was the dancer who fed him mare's milk wine with her mouth and secretly helped him drink most of it, her name was Print.
Huang Xiaofu was going to bring the two women back to Daming, and the other three women, he planned to send them back.
Today, Huang Xiaofu was angry in his heart, and the three dancers who were about to retreat became the objects of his anger.
He first cleaned them up on the bed, then pulled them up and lined up in the inn.
Huang Xiaofu found a horse whip commonly used by the Jurchens and whipped it fiercely on their delicate bodies, not pity the jade at all.
Fortunately, it was winter, and they were all wearing thick fur coats, and the injuries on their bodies were not severe, but there were two dancers whose faces were whipped by a horsewhip and scratched a large patch.
Huang Xiaofu whipped once, and then watched the three dancers let out a terrible scream one by one.
It was not until he himself was exhausted and the anger in his heart was almost exhausted that he threw away his horsewhip and punished them to sleep in the wood-room.
The next day, that is, the first day of the new Yuan of the Han people, Huang Xiaofu left Shengjing with a peace treaty that was about to take effect, and embarked on the journey back to the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji was waiting for Zhu Youzhen to sign the peace treaty that officially came into effect, so Chasi Ma Jin also accompanied Huang Xiaofu to envoy Daming again.
The day before Huang Xiaofu left Shengjing, that is, on the night of the Han people's Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Hongji, the prefect of Jinzhou and the left attendant of the ceremonial department who represented the Ming Dynasty to envoy the Mongolian Horqin Department, had just returned to Jinzhou.
