"Wu Sangui, old thief! Shameless old thief! ”

"Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Despicable dog thief——! ”

"Suppilon! Tuhai! Yue Le! Chani! Stupid thief! Rubbish! Idiot! Traitor! Traitor————! ”

can make such a hoarse shout and roar, in this era, there must be only eating chaff and drinking thin and hanging seeds, and it is not possible to pockmarked the Tatar Emperor Kangxi Kang Xiaopock. And what can make Kang Xiaomazi roar so angrily is naturally the reason why the latest battle report of the Yangtze River Defense Line and the peace treaty signed by Kubilong were sent to the capital together.

However, we can't completely blame our Mazi Tatar Emperor Kang Xiao Mazi for having no bearing and no mind, mainly because Wu Laohan is too bullying, Lu Fatzi is too good at harming people, Tuhai and Yue Le and other Qing army front-line commanders are too useless, and the plenipotentiary negotiator sent by Xiao Mazi, Qin Cha Ji Bilong, is too incompetent, and its uselessness and incompetence can no longer be described as just a deep disappointment, but a pure eating inside and outside to hurt people!

Previously, Xiao Mazi and the old witch of Xiaozhuang had great expectations for this truce, because just a month ago, Xiao Mazi, who was basically accustomed to receiving bad news, suddenly received several good news one after another, all of which reported that the Wuchang Qing army relied on Xiao Mazi Hongfu, and defeated Wu Laohan's second son Wu Yingqi's army several times in a row, killed more than 50,000 enemies (the number is correct), and captured countless Wu army ordnance (cloud ladder and cloud platform made of miscellaneous wood), Wu Wei's army was invincible, and Xiao Mazi limited the activities of Wu's army to the majestic strategic goal of Biyuan territory. It's already just around the corner for you!

For the Qing court, which lost most of the main elite in three months and lost Sichuan, Xiaomazi and Mites in Sichuan, the Qing army's several successes were tantamount to a shot in the arm, and it was also a life-saving rain after a long drought, which greatly stabilized the situation of the mite Qing Dynasty, which was already in danger after the turmoil, and even the long-lost voice of singing the praises of virtue began to reverberate in the Forbidden City. And Xiao Mazi and the old witch of Xiaozhuang also began to fantasize about whether they could exchange the truce for a smaller price, rescue the Mites Qing prince Baylor, who was captured by the Wu army, and buy time to prepare for a full-scale counterattack?

Immediately afterwards, the news that Zhou Bangning and Jueluo Zhuman's two support armies arrived on the battlefield in time and further strengthened the defense line of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty inevitably made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang and the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty full of confidence in the negotiation and negotiation, and refused to negotiate and directly suppressed the arrogant voice of Wu Gou, which also began to appear in the early dynasty when Xiao Mazi finally took over the power. In this regard, the somewhat self-aware little Mazi did not dare to dream, but he was also full of extreme expectations, hoping that the Wuchang Qing army, which occupied the right time and place, would teach Wu Laohanjian a little more lesson on the battlefield and force Wu Laohanjian to make greater concessions at the negotiating table.

The first blow to the little pockmark in the dream is our Lu Fat Man Lu Sanhao, Pingnan Wang Shizi Shang Zhixin 600 miles of songs, Wu Reverse Wu Shizong and Lu Fatzi joined forces to enter Guangxi, it only took more than a month to sweep the entire Guangxi, Guangxi Governor Ma Xiongzhen was martyred, Guangxi Governor Ma Xiong was forced to surrender, Guangxi General Sun Yanling led the army to surrender to the Wu Army, Geng Juzhong, the second prince of Jingnan Wangfu, led the army to surrender to the Wu Army, and Shang Zhixiao, the second prince of Pingnan Wangfu, led the army to surrender to the Wu Army, and the whole territory of Guangxi fell into the hands of the Wu Army!

And what made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang and the Mites Qing court even more stunned and incredulous was that Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, who was loyal to the Mite Qing court, personally led the main force of the 40,000 Guangdong Qing army into Guangxi, but was defeated by Lu Fatzi alone in a battle, and Shang Kexi was also captured on the battlefield, becoming the third mite Qing prince captured by the Wu army and the second mite Qing prince captured by Lu Fatzi! Shang Kexi's remnants of the army were forced to retreat to Guangdong, and they left no effort to put pressure on the eastern front of the Wu army!

Lu Fatzi's stuffy stick not only knocked Xiao Mazi's hot head completely knocked out, but also smoked Xiao Mazi's numb face miserably, everyone knows that Lu Fatzi was originally Xiao Mazi's extremely favored minister, in order to reuse Lu Fatzi, the Qing Dynasty also caused countless turmoil, and even forced Xiao Mazi to send a big man like Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go south to mediate and investigate the case of the dispute between Lu Fatzi and the prefect, and the importance attached to Lu Fatzi can be seen. However, Fat Lu is now using such means to repay Xiao Mazi, Xiao Mazi's already ugly pockmarked face is even more difficult to see.

Just when Xiao Mazi swore to chop Lu Fatzi into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs, the second heavier blow came to Wuchang was conquered by the Wu army, and only more than 10,000 people of the 60,000 Qing army escaped across the Yangtze River, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Wu army together with more than 30,000 banner people in the inner city of Wuchang!

After a night, the third slap was even harder, and Curb Pilon actually signed a peace treaty, promising to compensate Wu Jun for 30 million taels of silver and 5 million stone of grain, and also had to take out 5 million taels of silver to redeem the Mites Qing prince Baylor and the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were captured by the Wu army! And it is also specially requested that seventy percent be paid within three months, and all within one year!

Whether it is Tuhai and Yue Le, who fled to Hanyang, or Ji Bilong, who was trapped in the enemy camp as a hostage, they all insisted that the reason why Wu Lao Han was able to break through the impregnable Wuchang town overnight was that Lu Fatzi played a crucial role in it! and the reason why Curb Bilong was forced to agree to Wu Laohan's harsh conditions was also the result of Lu Fatzi's spilling and trickery, fox and tiger coercion at the negotiation table!

After watching these two twists and turns, Xiao Mazi was naturally crazy, his blood-red eyes jumped and jumped, his teeth and claws danced, and he scolded, but he just hated that he couldn't immediately arrest Wu Laohan, Lu Fatzi, Tu Hai, Yue Le and Ji Bilong, all the thieves, dog thieves, traitors, and put them in front of him, and let himself cut them to death with one knife after another, and cut off one piece of meat and one piece of meat to feed the dogs! And the mite Qing civil and military officials on the Jinluan Palace all had their foreheads on the ground, trembling, and their faces were sad, for fear that Xiao Mazi would spill the fire on their heads and treat them for a mistake in planning and ineffective head-killing.

Fortunately, Xiao Mazi is also a mite relics and a bare-chested general chrysanthemum blowing the drums to the sky to beat the Tartar Emperor, although there is a serious gaffe in the rage, and he has never pulled the scapegoat out of anger - now the situation is critical to this point, Xiao Mazi does not dare to pull the scapegoat indiscriminately, the mite as a scapegoat is to dig the corner of the wall, shake the foundation, and the Han people as a scapegoat is to force the Han officials to the Wu army, and the little Mazi who is good at scheming is still quite sober about this. So after Xiao Mazi slowly calmed down, he asked the eunuchs to pick up the two folds that had been thrown into the middle of the Jinluan Palace by themselves before, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Zhongqing, the matter has come to this, how to deal with the aftermath, everyone can express their opinions." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave believes that this peace treaty must not be executed." Mingzhu, a recognized hawkish representative in the Qing court, was the first to come out of the ranks, kneeling on his knees and playing: "The annual treasury income of my Qing Dynasty is only more than 20 million taels of silver, and the total amount of grain in a year is only about 5 million stone of grain, so I can't pay such a huge amount of military salary, grain and grass compensation!" Besides, Wu Sangui's old thief is ambitious, and he has long been disobedient, and the so-called truce is just to accumulate strength, consolidate the foundation, and wait until his wings are full, and sooner or later he will raise troops to make trouble! ”

"Therefore, the slave thinks that instead of being wronged and seeking perfection, smashing the pot and selling iron in exchange for the temporary end, it is better to fight with Wu Sangui's old thief to the end, with the abundance of manpower and material resources of my Qing Dynasty, the emperor's sage and wisdom, and the heroism of the soldiers, it is only sooner or later to exterminate Wu Revolt, so why should I endure this shameful humiliation?"

Weichen seconded. Liang Qingbiao, the head of the Hanshang book, knelt down and said cautiously: "Because of the huge cost of this year's Southwest War, my Qing treasury has long been empty, with less than 500,000 taels of silver left, but the arrears are up to one million, and it is already beyond our means, so how can we pay such a huge amount of military salary compensation?" ”

"Minions......, cough, cough." The old and sick Hubu Manshangshu Mi Sihan also knelt out, coughed and kowtowed, and said: "Although the slave is the Hubu Shangshu, if the emperor wants the servant to take out more than 20 million taels of silver within three months, the slave will have to apologize to the emperor by himself." Therefore, the servants had the courage to implore the emperor to accept Ming Zhongtang's proposal not to implement this peace treaty. ”

Xiao Mazi, who was planning to build a summer resort to kill rabbits, wanted to give Wu Laohan so much silver, grain and grass, which was strange, but it was very pitiful that as the largest slave owner of Mites, Xiao Mazi not only had to think about his own wallet, but also for other people in the slave owner class of Mites, and Curb Pilon was the plenipotentiary negotiator sent by Xiao Mazi, and Curb Pilon had already signed the peace treaty, and if Xiao Mazi refused to implement it, how could Xiao Mazi's authority of Chrysostom be maintained in the future? Therefore, although Xiao Mazi was extremely excited, his face was blue and he refused to speak, let alone express his support.

Sure enough, the official mite Shangshu quickly knelt down to Kana and reminded: "Your Majesty, please don't forget, we still have tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers in the hands of Wu thieves, if the emperor refuses to implement this peace treaty, then not to mention the dishonesty in the world, our banner soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the captured prince Baylor, what can we do?" ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment at Kana, and said tremblingly: "Besides, my 650,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty have now lost nearly half, and the newly recruited army has not had time for equipment training. ”

The words to Kana can be regarded as the most critical point, now if it is not for Xiao Mazi who has lost all his elite, and there is nothing to do about Wu Laohan for the time being, why should he whisper to Wu Laohan and seek satisfaction? So Xiao Mazi's hemp face was even more gloomy and terrifying, and the yellow teeth were so clenched that his lips were bleeding, and he still didn't say a word. Instead, Mingzhu asked rhetorically: "Although it is reasonable to the adults, who will produce the more than 30 million taels of silver and 5 million stone grains?" Who can take it? ”

Kana was speechless, and only coughed for a while and said: "Ming Zhongtang, how can the old man try to persuade the emperor to be wronged, but once the emperor breaks his promise, Wu Sangui's old thief is angry and takes out anger on our captured banner soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, so what should they do?" Do you want to watch them die tragically under the butcher's knife of Wu Dog? ”

Mingzhu really wanted to say that I would let them die, but unfortunately, considering that this statement came out, Xiao Mazi may be relieved, but he offended this mite Qing ruling group, and the Nalan family, where Mingzhu is located, has quite a lot of family members who have been captured this time, so Mingzhu has to obediently shut his mouth and never dare to say a word more. The other courtiers also looked at each other, all of them felt extremely tricky, and they didn't know how to choose, whether they wanted silver? Or do you want to be captured by the Wu army, the lives of those Eight Banner Masters?

Everyone was depressed for a long time, and Suo Etu, another favorite minister of Xiao Mazi, said timidly: "Your Majesty, can you try to renegotiate?" Ask Wu Sangui to reopen negotiations with the Qing court to see if he can put down some military salaries, grain and grass and ransom? ”

"Wu Sangui's old thief would be so stupid?" Xiao Mazi asked coldly, "Besides, Curb Pilon has already signed the peace agreement and asked for renegotiation, is it not a broken promise?" ”

Suo Etu retreated dejectedly, but Wang Xu, the current secretary of the military department and Lu Fatzi's old friend, stood up, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Suo's proposal is worth a try, according to Weichen's judgment, although Wu Sangui's old thief has won successive battles in the past four months, but after many fierce battles, the army soldiers must have been extremely tired, and after he invaded Sichuan, Guangxi and Biyuan, the control area has expanded sharply several times, and there must be many internal problems, and they also urgently need time to recuperate and consolidate the results of the war, and the temporary truce is beneficial and harmless to them." ”

"So Weichen thinks that Master Suo's proposal can be worth a try, and then send a messenger south to explain the reason to Wu Sangui, and confess that my Qing court is indeed unable to pay such a huge amount of military salaries, grain and grass now, and ask Wu Sangui to understand the difficulties between the court and the emperor, or reduce the amount, or relax the payment period, with Wu Sangui's current actual situation, Weichen thinks that there is a lot of hope for success."

"This ......." Xiao Mazi began to feel excited. Liang Qingbiao, the two Shangshu of the household department over there, applauded together with Kana, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is reasonable, as long as you don't take out so much grain, grass and military salaries at once, our Qing court will be much easier." ”

"What Lord Wang said is extremely true, if we can pay this military salary and grain in ten years, then our Qing treasury can completely bear it. Moreover, Wu Sangui's old thief is also anxious to stop the war now, and I believe that there is a great hope for the success of this move. ”

Xiao Mazi's face finally softened a little, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Mazi nodded and said, "Wang Aiqing is reasonable, it is indeed worth a try." After that, Xiao Mazi frowned again and said: "But there is another point, even if Wu Sangui's old thief agrees to extend the payment period, he also proposes to continue to hold the captives in his hands as a hostage, and he will never release them if he does not pay in full, so what?" ”

"Your Majesty, on this point, Weichen has an idea." Xiong Cilu, who had not spoken, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old thief Wu Sangui governs the army with his son, niece and son-in-law, and all the people who are reused are relatives, if the emperor sends someone to buy the henchmen and cronies of the old thief Wu Sangui with gold and silver beauties, and let them persuade the old thief Wu Sangui to release the prisoners of our army in advance, with the cowardly surname of the old thief Wu Sangui's indecisiveness, it will definitely succeed." ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Xu said angrily: "Long live my emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you use this small means? ”

"Lord Wang, when Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to kill Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, if Tang Gaozu didn't bribe Emperor Yang's close attendants, how could he live?" Xiong Cixu retorted unconvinced: "There is also King Wen of Zhou who was imprisoned in Jinli by King Zhou, if it weren't for King Wu's generous bribing of King Zhou and his favor to annihilate him, how could he return to Xiqi?" Could it be that sages and saints like Tang Gaozu, King Wen of Zhou, and King Wu of Zhou were also young? ”

Wang Xu was speechless, and said stiffly after a while: "Anyway, Weichen opposes this move, my emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and he has a share in doing this kind of thing." ”

"Wang Aiqing is reasonable, I am the true son of the dragon, the lord of the world, and it is indeed unseemly to do such a reckless thing, so this move is not discussed." Xiao Mazi shook his head and sighed, waved his hand again, and said: "But no matter what, Suo Aiqing's proposal is still worth a try, that Aiqing is willing to volunteer, and then go to Wuchang to persuade Wu Sangui to agree to extend the payment period and release our prisoners of war in advance?" ”

Whether such an errand can be done or not, he will be scolded, and if he provokes Wu Lao Han, it may also lead to other consequences, and he will be hit by the black cauldron, so all the mite Qing civil and military officials present closed their mouths. Only Wang Xu stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, this proposal was put forward by Master Suo, and it was also approved by Weichen, so Weichen should go to the post, but he must ask Master Suo to go with him, and Weichen is the deputy, so there is a discussion." ”

"Fuck you, this kind of scolding, why do you have to pull Lao Tzu?" Suo Etu scolded frantically in his heart, and quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this proposal was put forward by the slave, and the slave should also go to the post, but the slave had a lot of dirty words with Wu Sangui's old thief before, if he took on this position, he was afraid that it would backfire, but let Wu Sangui's old thief sternly refuse, and he missed the national event." Therefore, the slave proposed that Lord Wang should take this position alone. ”

Of course, Xiao Mazi also knew that this was a scolding messenger, considering that Suo Etu was now the first assistant of the dynasty, and it was indeed inconvenient to carry this black cauldron to regulate the management of yin and yang, so Xiao Mazi quickly nodded and said: "Suo Aiqing and Wu Sangui's old thief are indeed at odds, and I am afraid that it will not be beautiful if I go, so I still wronged Wang Aiqing for a hard trip, I let Xiong Ci Xiong Aiqing serve as your deputy, and then ask Kong Sigege, who is inextricably linked with Wu Fan, to go out of the mountain and serve as this messenger together." I hope that Wang Aiqing will not shirk for the sake of the family and the country. ”

"Of course Weichen doesn't dare to refuse." At this point, Wang Xu, who also understood that this was a scolding envoy, had no choice but to change his words, so he could only stubbornly say: "But Weichen said first, persuading Wu Fan to extend the payment period of military salaries, grain and grass and ransom for prisoners of war. ”

"Aiqing, do your best, you really can't do it, and I won't blame you." Xiao Mazi sighed, but out of the corner of his eye, he squinted at Xiong Cixu who was kneeling next to Wang Xu, and secretly scolded Xiong Cixu in his heart for being a waste - how could the proposal of bribing Wu Laohan's henchmen and lackeys to make Wu Laohan's decision change was put forward in front of so many people in the court? Isn't this forcing Xiao Mazi to oppose it in public, and be a villain in front of him and behind his back?

"Then Weichen did his best." Wang Xu kowtowed and agreed, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if the ministers are going, they will do their best to persuade Wu Fan to give a time limit, but for the sake of the emperor's authority and the face of the court, I also ask the emperor to be prepared with both hands. ”

Xiao Mazi's numb face was gloomy again, and after thinking for a long time, Xiao Mazi commanded weakly: "Pass the decree, let the prince of Beijing and the officials and gentry from all over the country understand the difficulties of the imperial court, lose money and food to the imperial court, and do their best to raise money." Then pass on the message to Nanjing, this year's grain, only half of it can be transported to the north, and the rest will be hoarded in Nanjing for the time being. ”

"Then pass on the decree, the construction of Chengde Summer Resort, Mulan Hunting Ground and Xishan Garden will all be stopped, and money and food will be released in case of emergency."

"If you pass the decree again, the double flag salary for the New Year this year will not be issued, and as usual, a single salary will be issued."

"In addition, the construction of the palace pavilions in the palace has also been stopped, and the 1,500 show girls who are ready to be selected are not selected."

"Let's cut my meals in half, one hundred and eight dishes per meal......

"My emperor leads by example, practices frugality, and is worthy of the ancient and modern crowns of heaven and earth! Slaves (micro-ministers) and others admire it to the fullest, long live my emperor, long live, long live——! ”
