Chapter 916: Huang Taiji's Forbearance

After the negotiations officially began, Sony did not have the attitude of the Ming court, his purpose was to let Prince Li return to the Qing Kingdom this morning, and at the same time, he also had to safeguard the interests of the Qing Dynasty, and he could not open his mouth casually, of course, if there was anything that needed to be reported and requested, Huang Taiji specially sent guards, waiting for news in Montenegro, and would reply in the shortest possible time, and Sony did not need to worry too much.

The three conditions put forward by Daming, there are two conditions, Sony quickly agreed, the first is to hand over Geng Zhongming monk Kexi, this is a condition that has been determined a long time ago, there is nothing to hesitate about, and there is no need to ask for instructions to be able to agree, the second is five thousand war horses, ten thousand taels of gold, this is not a big deal, it is nothing more than the loss of some property, converted, less than 500,000 taels of silver, presumably this condition, there is no big problem, Huang Taiji will not object, when leaving, Huang Taiji specifically said, Some conditions are difficult to accept, and gold and silver can be considered to solve them.

The third condition, so that Sonny suddenly changed color, the Ming Dynasty actually wanted Montenegro, asked the soldiers of the Qing State, evacuated Montenegro, the area demarcated by the two sides, fifty miles away from Montenegro, are forbidden areas, which indicates that the occupation area of the Qing State, to retreat one hundred and fifty miles, the Qing Dynasty can occupy, that is, Guangning and Xiping Fort, although the Ming Dynasty did not talk about Yizhou, but after retreating one hundred and fifty miles, no one can guarantee that Yizhou can also be guarded, which is equivalent to giving up Yizhou.

Sony is resolutely unable to agree to this condition, and the main purpose of the Great Qing Kingdom is to open up the territory and give up the territory in hand, which is tantamount to death.

To Sony's surprise, Daming's negotiators. To make it very clear, all three conditions must be agreed, or there will be no negotiations.

Sony, who is helpless, only needs to send the guards around him to report to Huang Taiji.

Fortunately, the negotiators of the Ming Dynasty were not in a hurry and promised to wait for a while.

Received a letter from Sony. Huang Taiji didn't speak for a long time.

Zierharang and Fan Wencheng stood at the bottom, Huang Taiji didn't speak, and they wouldn't speak.

Huang Taiji thought a lot, to be honest, it is indeed not worth it to use these three conditions in exchange for Dai Shan, especially the withdrawal from Montenegro, east of the Liao River, the only two places that the Great Qing State can occupy are Guangning and Xipingbao. The ability to defend itself has not necessarily weakened, but the loss of large tracts of land is unbearable.

But Sony's letter made it very clear that if he couldn't agree to these three conditions, there would be no need for negotiations, and Sony would go home, which shows that the Ming Dynasty will not let go.

It is not difficult to agree to such conditions, just move your mouth. But to give up the land and the city, this is in the history of the Qing Dynasty. For the first time, this kind of thing couldn't have happened before.

Huang Taiji looked at Ji'er Harang and Fan Wencheng.

"Ji'er Harang, there are three conditions proposed by Daming, the first condition is to exchange Geng Zhongming monk Kexi. The second condition is 5,000 war horses and 10,000 taels of gold, these two conditions, I can fully agree, but the third condition. It's too much, the Ming Dynasty asked the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom to withdraw from Montenegro, and the range of fifty miles from Montenegro is a forbidden area, if this condition is agreed, east of the Liao River, the cities occupied by my Great Qing Kingdom are only Guangning and Xiping Fort, and Yizhou will definitely not be able to hold it, and it must be let out. ”

Huang Taiji said this and let out a long sigh.

Zilharan thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, if the Ming Dynasty proposes that all three conditions must be met, there is no other plan."

"No, if you can't agree to these three conditions, then there is no need to negotiate."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can agree to come down."

Huang Taiji looked at Zilharang, very surprised, he originally thought that Jierharang must be strongly opposed, this kind of cession of land, in the eyes of the Manchurian nobles, is a naked provocation, I didn't expect that Jierharang completely agreed.

"Your Majesty, the minister said this, it is also based on the situation in Liaodong, the current situation, I have encountered difficulties on both sides of the Qing Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng of Liaodong, led the sergeants of the Yulin battalion, and the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion of Liaodong, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, are eyeing each other, if the Ming Dynasty directly attacks from two directions, it is difficult for my Daqing State to cope, from the perspective of the topography of Liaodong, it takes a huge amount of troops to hold Montenegro, the city of Montenegro is newly built, and it has changed hands several times, plus there is a certain distance from Guangning and Xiping Fort, and I want to hold it firmly, It was a little difficult for 30,000 sergeants, and after giving up Montenegro and Yiju, the army could hold on to Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort, as long as these two places were firmly held, there would be no danger in Liaodong. ”

"The sergeants who have withdrawn from Montenegro and Yizhou can wait for Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, and the minister thinks that Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou are the places that need to be focused on prevention at present, and the minister can conclude that Su Tiancheng's next step must be to directly attack Gaizhou, if we lose Gaizhou, Yaozhou or even Haizhou, Anshan and Liaoyang will be directly threatened, and the Ming army and Jiangning battalion in Liaodong can also make peace, and Guangning and Xipingbao will be dangerous."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that under the current conditions, we can appropriately shrink our forces and stick to Guangning, Xipingbao, Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, as long as we firmly hold this line, our Great Qing Kingdom will have the opportunity to counterattack."

Zierharang's analysis is very reasonable, in fact, Huang Taiji also has such thoughts in his heart, but he just asked the Great Qing State to give up Montenegro and Yizhou, which is unjustifiable on the face, for so many years, the key deployment of troops in the Great Qing State is basically in Guangning and Haizhou, which is like two tentacles, which are very good to stabilize Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places.

With this understanding, Huang Taiji is still more pleased, and he has always believed that among the Manchurian nobles, Jilharang is more wise, and he is also very mature in handling matters.

After Zilharang finished speaking, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng.

Su Tiancheng or the Ming Dynasty court threw out the problem of Daishan, which can be said to be a critical stability of the Qing Dynasty, but Fan Wencheng thought of a very good way to resolve this crisis, and in the battle of Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, Fan Wencheng also made a contribution, and it was very good to persuade Duoduo to evacuate the army from Jinzhou, if it were not for Fan Wencheng's persuasion, Duoduo insisted on holding on to Jinzhou because of the problem of face, once Su Tiancheng rushed over from Xuanzhou with a large army, it would be a catastrophic situation.

Through these living examples, Huang Taiji further felt the importance of Fan Wencheng, so he trusted Fan Wencheng even more, and many major matters of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji may not necessarily discuss with the Manchu nobles, but he will definitely discuss with Fan Wencheng.

Seeing Huang Taiji's eyes, Fan Wencheng spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minions think that Prince Zheng's suggestion is feasible, but what the minions are worried about is whether the relinquishment of Montenegro and Yizhou will cause a bad impact on my Great Qing Kingdom."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, Fan Wencheng can always talk about the key point, this is indeed a very important issue, directly related to the stability of the Qing Dynasty.

"Wen Cheng, if I agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid some people will not be convinced, what do you think is needed to stabilize the situation."

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Montenegro and Yizhou, compared with Prince Li, are nothing, the city is lost, and it can be taken back, but if there is any accident with Prince Li, it will be an irreparable loss, Prince Li and Jiangning Camp face to face, there must be a lot of insights, rebuild the red flag in the future, the red flag can be more courageous, as long as the emperor makes this point clear, the slave thinks that everyone will understand."

After Zilharang and Fan Wencheng left, Huang Taiji fell into deep thought.

He felt that Su Tiancheng was different from those civil and military ministers in the Ming court, speaking of which Su Tiancheng and Fan Wencheng had some similarities, that is, they would do whatever it took to achieve their goals, and they would not take care of any face problems at all, and it was very dangerous to confront such an opponent, but in the current situation, Su Tiancheng was already the biggest threat to the Qing Dynasty, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the Jiangning battalion would start to attack Yaozhou, Gaizhou and Haizhou, and that was the most dangerous moment for the Qing Dynasty. Su Tiancheng will definitely realize the importance of taking Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou.

In the past, Huang Taiji thought about provoking the relationship between Su Tiancheng and Chongzhen, but now it seems that this point will not work, Su Tiancheng is already a scholar of the Ming Cabinet, and he has gained Chongzhen's greater trust, which can basically be abandoned.

But Huang Taiji must deal with Su Tiancheng, and various methods need to be used, assassination is the best move, whether it can succeed or not, at least it will deter Su Tiancheng, and the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom can also take other methods, including bribing the officials of the Ming Dynasty, as long as Su Tiancheng has an accident, Huang Taiji will be able to sleep peacefully.

Dai Shan's position in the Qing Dynasty is very important, since the Ming Dynasty has opened the conditions, then it is necessary to get Dai Shan back, in fact, this is also an attitude of Huang Taiji, the Manchu nobles will not give up, even if it is a huge price, but also to ensure their safety, after doing so, the Manchu nobles of the Qing Dynasty will naturally be able to understand, and will be more loyal.

After thinking about it for a long time, Huang Taiji finally made up his mind to exchange for goodness in accordance with the requirements put forward by the Ming Dynasty.

Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, Zilharang and others all returned to Shenyang one after another, and Huang Taiji summoned them individually, and everyone left the Chongde Hall with a look of indignation on their faces.

Three days later, Huang Taiji ordered the guards to send a letter to Sony, and according to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, they all agreed, but the exchange of Dai Shan must be completed in the fastest time, preferably within a month, all of them are done. (To be continued......)
