Chapter 200: Talking While Eating
Dolgon came to the Great Hall early in the morning to meet the Emperor Taiji.
"The fourteenth brother came here so early, there must have been some good news last night, right?" Huang Taiji motioned for him to sit down on the chair opposite him and pour himself a cup of mare's milk tea.
Dolgon sat down on the chair opposite Huang Taiji, "Great Khan, it's a pity, we don't have Han rice wine, if we can get the Ming envoy drunk, we will definitely be able to hear more information." ”
Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon, saw that his pupils lit up, and knew that he must have heard some useful information, "Fourteenth brother, tell me first, what information has you heard?" ”
"Great Khan, at last night's banquet, I could wait for at least two messages: first, the Ming Emperor has the sincerity of peace talks; Second, the conditions for peace talks offered by Chongzhen can be completely changed. ”
Huang Taiji smiled: "Of course it can be changed, such conditions, my Dajin Kingdom can't accept it anyway, have you heard Chongzhen's bottom line?"
Dolgon shook his head: "Not yet, that Huang Xiaofu is extremely alert, but I have a way to listen to some more information, who made that Huang Xiaofu a hungry ghost?" He said that Huang Xiaofu liked the dancer, and added fuel and vinegar to it.
"Haha, Han people are just lustful!" Huang Taiji suddenly thought that he was about to canonize the Fujin on the side of the East Palace, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Fourteenth brother, you have done a good job, but it's a pity that the personnel who went to Guangning to listen to the information have not yet returned, and we can't set the bottom line for peace talks with Daming for the time being." ”
Dolgon looked at Huang Taiji: "Is the Great Khan really ready to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Huang Taiji smiled but did not answer: "Fourteenth brother, what do you say?" ”
Dolgon also laughed: "I'm afraid the Great Khan is waiting for the message of the Three Beylers, right?" ”
"Haha," Huang Taiji laughed, and he gave Dolgon a thumbs up, "The fourteenth brother is really smart and wise, and he can't hide anything from you." ”
"Great Khan, I'm afraid the positive blue flag of the Three Belles is not good." Dolgon's voice suddenly lowered an octave.
"What do you hear?" Huang Taiji raised his head, how he hoped that it was Dolgon.
"Great Khan, this is what Huang Xiaofu said after drinking, it is very credible, we must prepare in advance, just in case."
Huang Taiji nodded, "We are going to make preparations - could it be that this waste of Mang Gurtai has really lost the battle?" ”
"Great Khan, I have an idea," Dolgon saw that Huang Taiji was staring at him, and knew that Huang Taiji was interested in his words, "Isn't the Great Khan preparing to canonize Hari Zhula as the side of the Eastern Palace?" Then make the scene bigger, and invite the envoy Huang Xiaofu to participate. ”
"Why? Canonized the East Palace side Fujin, what does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Great Khan, let the envoy understand that even if the battlefield is unfavorable, our Dajin country still has a firm ally, Horqin, so that the capital for peace talks can be increased."
"Hmm!" Huang Taiji nodded, he thought about it, and asked again, "Has Wu Keshan gone back?" ”
"Not yet, Great Khan, of course he will not go back until his sister is canonized."
"I suddenly had an idea, doesn't Erbel have an adult daughter? In order to strengthen the connection between Dajin and Korqin, I intend to marry her to Saisan and be escorted back by Wu Keshan by the way. ”
Dolgon was a little uneasy, "Great Khan, is Sesan really reliable?" Speaking of reliability, Oba Khan should be more reliable than Sesan. ”
"Oba Khan is more reliable, of course I understand, he has already married his father Khan's adopted granddaughter Oba Gegege," Huang Taiji drank a large sip of mare's milk tea, "Fourteenth brother, you don't understand, although Oba is the Tushetu Khan of Horqin, Saisan's population and property are not inferior to Oba and he is the most powerful person in Horqin. ”
“……”
"The more unreliable the person, the more we have to envelop him, not only for the Ming envoy, but also for Saisan, the people who support my Dajin Kingdom are my friends and brothers of the Dajin Kingdom, and they are also our relatives, who oppose the Dajin Kingdom, or those who step on two boats, my Dajin Kingdom will never be stingy with a few cavalry, just like Lin Dan Khan."
"Great Khan, I understand, I'll go talk to Wu Keshan."
"Fourteenth brother, when the canonization ceremony is over, the person who went to Quang Ninh to inquire about the information should have returned, you are already familiar with the envoys, you first talk to them on behalf of the Dajin Kingdom, and be sure to find out their bottom line."
"Yes, Great Khan." Dolgon said goodbye to Huang Taiji, and he immediately went to find Wu Keshan.
The canonization ceremony of Hari Zhula was held in the Phoenix Tower as scheduled, and Hari Zhula was canonized in public as the East Palace side of Fujin, and was officially renamed Hai Lanzhu.
Attending the ceremony were the big and small Baylor of the Dajin Kingdom and a group of important ministers, Wu Keshan, the elder brother of Hari Zhula, and Huang Xiaofu, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, who also participated in the ceremony with different moods.
Three days later, Wu Keshan took Shuergege back to Korqin, while Dolgon met with the Ming envoy Huang Xiaofu at the White Flag Pavilion southeast of the Dazheng Palace.
Because it was the first formal peace talks, only Dolgon and Huang Xiaofu were present, and their respective interpreters were standing behind them.
They are already acquaintances, and there is no need to introduce each other anymore.
"Lord Belle, I first congratulate the Great Khan on the side of the East Palace." Huang Xiaofu gave up his hand and performed the etiquette of a Han people.
Dolgon, however, touched his chest with his right hand, and performed the etiquette of the Jurchens: "I also congratulate Mr. Huang - how is Mr. Huang doing these days?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all the blessing of Lord Tobel!" Huang Xiaofu slowly lowered his head as he spoke, and his old face was really blushing.
Dolgon seized the opportunity and went straight to the point: "Mr. Huang, my Dajin Kingdom also has the sincerity of peace talks, but the three conditions of His Majesty the Ming Emperor are too harsh, and now it is a formal peace talk, Mr. Huang should tell you what you really mean - so as to show the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"This ...... This ...... "Huang Xiaofu is hesitant."
Dolgon took out an elegant square box from his bosom and put it on the table, "Mr. Huang has come from afar, this is a little bit of my Dolgon's heart. ”
Huang Xiaofu gently knocked on the box, his face changed color, his eyes lit up first, and he was about to reach out to touch the beads in the box, but in the end he couldn't help it, his hand retracted and put it on the mare's milk tea cup, and the red light on his face also disappeared: "Lord Belle, this gift is too rich, I really dare not accept it." ”
But his eyes never left the brocade box.
Dolgon looked at it all, "Mr. Huang, the Dajin country is poor and widowed, and there are not many gifts that can be obtained, this piece of chicken blood orb is not only the Dajin country, but also my Dolgon's personal friendship, Mr. don't mind." ”
"This ...... That ......" Huang Xiaofu was incoherent, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't give back such a valuable gift at all.
"Mr. Huang......" Dolgon didn't say anything more, he just pushed the box towards Huang Xiaofu.
Huang Xiaofu stuffed the box, along with the bloodstone inside, into his arms, "Lord Belle is so gracious, I have no choice but to be disrespectful!" ”
"It should, it should!" A sly glint flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Uh-huh!" Huang Xiaofu coughed and brought the matter of the box and beads with him, "Lord Beile, my Emperor has the sincerity of peace talks, but the Dajin Kingdom must give up the land of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty that it originally occupied, otherwise, not only me, but also my Emperor Xià will not be able to explain to his subjects." ”
"Mr. Huang, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, Liaodong is a bitter cold land, and Hetuara cannot feed our Jurchen population at all, if the Ming Dynasty leaves us a land for survival, we will not treat the Ming Dynasty badly, let alone Mr."
"This ......" Huang Xiaofu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Lord Belle, how much land can Dajin Kingdom return back?" ”
"Mr. Huang," Dolgon said in an aggravated tone, "the land we have now was laid down by Amma when he was alive, and for this land, we have also lost a lot of people, and if the land is given too much, not only will we not be able to feed the population, but even the position of Tiancong Khan will not be able to sit steadily." ”
"Hmm!" Huang Xiaofu nodded and agreed with Dolgon's opinion, "My Emperor Xià said that if you really can't recover all the territory of Liaodong, at least you must recover the land from Liaoyang to Guangning, including the southern part of Liaodong, and the line from Gaizhou to Jinzhou, Shenyang can give it to you." ”
"Mr. Huang, please see," Dolgon unfolded a map of the march of the Dajin Kingdom, "if all the south of Liaoyang is returned to the Ming Dynasty, then Shenyang and Hetuara will not be able to connect together. ”
Huang Xiaofu looked down at Dolgon's marching map, although he didn't know the Jurchen script, but he could still see the location of each town, on the marching map, it was really like what Dolgon said, "Then we can draw a passage for you in the middle for the people of Dajin **." ”
Dolgon shook his head, "Mr. Huang, this passage will definitely be in the hands of Daming, and the soldiers and civilians of Dajin Kingdom are on the road, and I am not at ease!" In case the Ming generals stationed here make a joke with us, we will definitely not be able to stand it. ”
Huang Xiaofu looked up at Huang Taiji, "What does Lord Belle mean ......?"
Dolgon smiled: "Mr. Huang, what I mean is not important, the key is Mr. Huang, and the Emperor Ming behind Mr. Huang." ”
"Haha, haha," Huang Xiaofu was very useful, "Lord Belle said with a smile, since it is a peace talk, the meaning of the two families must be said." ”
"Mr. Huang is right!" Dolgon avoided the topic, "Is His Majesty the Ming Emperor really willing to sign a peace treaty with the Dajin Kingdom?" ”
"Belle Ye rest assured, my Imperial Majesty is sincere, I hope to make a truce with the Dajin Kingdom, and the two countries will never move their swords, otherwise, they will not send me all the way to Shengjing."
"I believe in Mr. Huang's words, and I also believe in the sincerity of His Majesty Emperor Ming," Dolgon paused, "Going back to the question just now, if Emperor Ming is sincere, how can he cut our Shengjing from Hetu Alai?" ”
"Lord Belle," Huang Xiaofu also felt that this method of dividing the land was a little unreasonable, "Lord Belle, this, let's talk about it next time!" ”
"Okay, then let's talk about the issue of compensation - if Dajin Guo compensates so many cattle, horses and sheep without being driven away by Daming, we will all starve to death. Mr. Huang, Ben Baylor is stupid, why didn't he see Daming's sincerity? ”
"Lord Belle, this is not good," Huang Xiaofu's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Lord Belle, over the years, the soldiers and civilians who have died in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty have been no less than millions, and the silver taels consumed are not less than tens of millions, if you don't compensate, we will definitely not sign a peace treaty." ”
"Haha, haha, Mr. Huang don't need to be nervous, we are negotiating peacefully! You can talk about anything," Dolgon snorted, "Mr. Huang, I'm in a hurry to negotiate with Mr. today, and I haven't even eaten enough breakfast, so it's better to ...... Let's talk while eating? ”
