Chapter 782: Houjin Suhe

readx; As soon as they heard the emergency report from Liaodong, everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This "Tang Bao" is also a kind of chapter, but it refers specifically to military intelligence. In recent years, the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly in Liaodong, although there is a "Ningyuan Great Victory" and "Jinzhou Great Victory" in the middle, but they are not decisive victories. On the contrary, in the recent "Defeat of Liuhe", he was defeated by the Houjin army, which also led to the resignation of Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. Therefore, the courtiers have already had a conditioned reflex to the Liaodong Tang Newspaper, and once the Tang Newspaper arrives, it will be no good thing.

Zhu Youzhen was also very nervous, and urgently ordered someone to submit the Tang report. When I opened it, it was Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jiliao, the Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi, and the Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan jointly signed an urgent performance: Jianyu Great Chief Taiji had learned that Chongzhen had ascended the throne, and sent an envoy to Yuan Chonghuan, who was stationed in Ningyuan, to present the "letter of state" of Emperor Taiji and ask for peace. The stakes are very high, whether it is Yuan Chonghuan, Gao Di, or Yan Mingtai, they dare not decide without authorization, so they can only transfer Huang Taiji's letter to Jingshi, so that Chongzhen can "be judged by holy will".

There was the "national letter" attached to the back, and Zhu Youzhen opened it to take a look, but it was full of ghost-like words, presumably the "Manchu script" invented by Nurhachi. After the Manchu text, there is a neatly written Chinese text, presumably written by the Han people who took refuge in the Later Jin.

The tone of the letter was quite arrogant, and he came up and said "Seven Hatreds", anyway, it means that Da Ming is sorry for Da Jin Guo, and Da Jin Guo was forced to defend himself. Since Tiancong Khan Emperor Taiji inherited the throne, he was even more wise and martial, defeated the Ming army in the Battle of Liuhe, and the warriors of the Eight Banners wanted to go straight to Shanhaiguan and completely wipe out the Ming army in Liaodong.

However, Tiancong Khan is benevolent by nature and does not want to kill too much. I heard that the new king of the Ming Dynasty was on the throne, and he was willing to send an envoy to pass the book to form a friendship for generations. As long as Dajin agrees to the conditions proposed by Dajinguo, Dajin is willing to accept Daming's canonization and rest forever.

Then there are the conditions proposed by Huang Taiji. Needless to say, these conditions are extremely demanding:

First, Dajin and Daming are bounded by Shanhaiguan, and everything outside Shanhaiguan belongs to Dajinguo;

second, dismantle Dongjiang Town, give up Phi Island, and hand over Mao Wenlong to Dajin State;

third, to recognize Korea as a vassal state of the Daejin State, and no longer pay tribute directly to Daemin;

Fourth, Da Ming chose a princess to marry Tiancong Khan, because Xizong and Chongzhen are still young and have no adult daughters, and Guangzong's daughters (that is, Zhu Youzhen's sisters) have died young, please choose one of Wanli's daughters;

Fifth, the Dajin Kingdom paid tribute to the Ming every year, and in return, the Ming Dynasty lost five million taels of silver to the Dajin Kingdom.

Zhu You checked it, and looked at the letters of Tang Bao and Huang Taiji all over the ministers. The Qianqing Palace immediately exploded, and the ministers were quickly divided into two factions, the main battle and the main one.

One faction, represented by Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the ministry, and the Donglin Party as the backbone, resolutely opposed the peace talks, believing that the construction of the captives was too much to deceive people, and the land of Liaodong must not be abandoned. Once he is allowed to sue for peace, the country's prestige will be greatly damaged, and everyone from the emperor to the ministers will lose face.

The other faction was represented by Shi Fenglai and other cabinet ministers, and some officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry seconded the motion. Their reasons are also very sufficient: Liaodong is a land of bondage, and even if peace is negotiated, there is no question of losing the country. Since the Battle of Salhu, the imperial court has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong and consumed tens of millions of taels of silver, which has seriously shaken the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really difficult to continue. In addition, thieves have risen in Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places, and the imperial court is overstretched.

What's more, this is Huang Taiji who took the initiative to propose peace, and agreed to be canonized and paid tribute, and the court can be regarded as saving face. There are many precedents in the history of harmony; Although the amount of annual coins is larger, it is still a small amount compared to the "three salaries" of nearly 10 million taels per year. It is better to choose the lesser of two evils, rather than to allow what he asks.

In addition to these two factions, there were also a very small number of centrists, including the Hubu Shangshu Wang Zaijin and the military Shangshu Yuan Keli. Although they were not in favor of reaching a peace agreement with Jianyu, they advocated taking advantage of this opportunity to pretend to hold peace talks with Huang Taiji, taking the opportunity to paralyze their opponents and seize war preparations. When you are sure, you can terminate the negotiations and attack with your army.

However, the number of centrists is very small, and they are not pleasing to both sides. The main battle faction believes that the court should be upright, and the discussion of the centrist faction is purely two-faced, and the gentleman disdains it; And the Lords and the faction also believed that with the cunning of Jianyu, they would quickly see through the fake negotiations, and then they would be angry and angry, and they would definitely go into the crime in a big way, which would be self-defeating.

The three factions were at loggerheads, and of course the emperor had to be asked to make a statement in the end. Zhu Youzhen, however, went against the grain this time and said that he fully respects the views of the ministers. Since there is no consensus of opinion, then the court will discuss it again tomorrow morning, and withdraw from the court now.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sun Chengzong angrily called Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli, and said bluntly: "Brother Yun (Wang Zaijin called Yuyun), Brother Jiehuan (Yuan Keli called Jiehuan), how can you agree to negotiate peace, even if it is fake!" Have you forgotten that the Holy One had personally won the great victory of Ningyuan, and that he also said in his daily lecture yesterday that 'every inch of land must be fought for in the land of the ancestors'! The saint reuses us and others, and is in order to sharpen the dynasty and sweep away the frustration of the previous dynasty, why do you sing and harmonize with Shi Fenglai and others, alas! ”

Wang Zaijin also sighed and said: "Brother Kaiyang (Sun Chengzong's name Kaiyang), your stubborn temper has gone through the ups and downs of the sea for so many years, but it still hasn't changed at all. But you also supervised Liaodong, so you should be very clear about the situation there. Ning Yuan's victory was purely a fluke, and whether it was a 'big victory' or not, it was still between the two. As a minister, who doesn't want to go into battle to kill the enemy and share the worries of the monarch's father, the problem is that the imperial court has no ability to exterminate Jianyu now! Your Guanning Jin defense line, two years of silver consumption of nearly 20 million taels, the day before yesterday Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou sent a letter to urge the salary, but the treasury is empty, you say that I am a good book! ”

As soon as Sun Chengzong heard that Wang Zaijin was going to attack his most proud Guanningjin defense line again, he was even more angry, don't look at Wang Zaijin, and turned to Yuan Keli and said: "Brother Jiehuan, you are the secretary of the military department, you can tell me, if there is no Ningyuan and Jinzhou, will Jianyu want to be under the Shanhaiguan City?" Once Shanhaiguan is lost, isn't Jingshi in danger? It is even more ridiculous that Jianyu wants to make Korea its vassal state, it is not a country itself, only one is a vassal of one country, how can it be reasonable for one country to be vassalized with another? ”

Yuan Keli smiled unhurriedly: "Brother Kaiyang doesn't have to be excited. The Holy One is the wise Lord, and He has His own judgment. ”

"That can't stop the traitor's demagogy!" Sun Chengzong shook his head again and again and said, "I understand the saint, and the "Qinyuan Spring" back then showed the ambition of the saint!" But I am afraid that the saint is young and his will is not strong, and if he falls into the hands of Shi Fenglai and others, it will be too late to regret it. It's still early, how about you and I go and ask to see the Holy One again? ”

"The two of us have different opinions, what did we say when we saw the saint?" Wang Zaijin also laughed.

"At the very least, I advise the Holy Lord not to really negotiate peace!" Sun Chengzong snorted angrily.

Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli were actually afraid that Zhu Youzhen would really agree to negotiate peace, so they went to Qianqing Gate with Sun Chengzong to ask for a meeting. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and the three of them were anxious, and suddenly saw Qiao Yunsheng running out of breath and said, "You are still waiting here, the Holy Servant has left the palace!" ”
