(Thank you for the heart of drifting for a century, Ou Yi voted for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you for the reward who chose to take the middle route without left or right, thank you, and I implore readers to vote for the recommendation.) ）

Su Tiancheng looked at Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze, and slowly spoke.

"Lord Hong, Lord Qu, do you think that Taiwan is not involved in a big matter, and the focus now should be to deal with the Houjin Tartars with all our might."

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze didn't speak, the two of them must agree with this point of view, but they won't say it.

"You have such thoughts, there is nothing strange, don't say you, I'm afraid those adults in the court, all think like this, Taiwan is a land of projectiles, there is no big deal, the focus is to solve the problem of the post-gold tartars, ask me to completely refute your views, it can't be done for a while, there are some things, only with facts can be spoken, wait, after a few years, you will understand, Taiwan is not a projectile land, Taiwan's status is very important."

Su Tiancheng obviously didn't want to make too many explanations, and used the idea of sea power theory to educate Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze, which seemed too forward, and used the reason of controlling sea power and using Taiwan as a base to explain, but it has not yet been reflected, and such an explanation, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze may not be able to understand.

Of course, what kind of changes are made in decision-making, you still need to get news from the capital, to see what kind of decision Huang Taiji will make, what kind of action will be made, under the current situation, Su Tiancheng is more careful than before, he and Zhu Xianxuan have become cabinet scholars, and they must pay attention to every word and deed, at this time, if there is any inappropriate action, it arouses Zhu Youzhen's suspicion. That's a deadly thing.

The capital, the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan's expressions looked very strange, and they wanted to laugh, but they revealed their thoughts.

Zhu Youzhen was carefully looking at the fold in his hand, with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Yang Aiqing. King Jin, tell me how to deal with the Houjin Tartars who are ready to bow down and become vassals. ”

This recital was written by Lu Xiangsheng, which said the most important thing, the Emperor Taiji of Houjin sent a letter to express his willingness to obey the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, and from then on, he would not be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty agrees to this matter, Houjin will send an envoy to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to discuss the submission of the Ming Dynasty.

After Lu Xiangsheng received Huang Taiji's letter, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly wrote a recital, along with Huang Taiji's letter. They were sent to the capital.

Lu Xiangsheng sent the fold to the capital in the form of a secret fold monograph. After receiving the recital, Zhu Youzhen was unusually happy, and hurriedly summoned Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan to discuss this matter.

After Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan read Huang Taiji's letter, they were greatly surprised, and they didn't know why Huang Taiji would bow down to him. It is said that the vitality of the Houjin Tartars has not suffered a devastating blow, and Su Tiancheng and Lu Xiangsheng are both powerful soldiers and horses, ready to start a big battle with the Houjin Tartars, at this time. Huang Taiji wrote a letter and asked to bow down.

After Zhu Youzhen spoke, Yang Sichang looked at Zhu Xianxuan and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the purpose of Huang Taiji's letter is, and I can't say for sure, my Jiangning battalion, Yulin battalion, and border army have made all preparations to attack Houjin Tartar, but at this time, Huang Taiji wants to bow down to his ministers, whether he wants to be able to gather strength, or is he afraid of the attack of the Jiangning battalion, and the minister feels that he should be cautious."

Yang Sichang said a little euphemistic, but the meaning is clear, that is, for the time being, ignore Huang Taiji's peace, such a thing has happened before, but the emperor basically denied the meaning of shaking hands and making peace, but this time the situation is different, the last time Huang Taiji so-called handshake and peace, that is the attitude of the two countries' quality inspection, but this time the handshake is mainly to bow down and recognize the leadership of the Ming court.

After Yang Sichang finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen did not speak, and looked at Zhu Xianxuan.

Zhu Xianxuan's thoughts are a little different from Yang Sichang, in fact, in many things, Zhu Xianxuan's thoughts are really in tune with Zhu Youzhen, Huang Taiji wrote such a letter, no matter what, such an opportunity can not be given up, the conquest of the Houjin Tartars consumes a lot of gold, silver and grain, and the burden on the court is very heavy, so many years have passed, the annual military expenditure of the imperial court is more than 10 million taels of silver, because there is almost no silver to do other things, Even if the Jiangning battalion achieved so many victories, the consumption of silver could not be reduced.

In such a situation, it would not be a good thing to be able to make the Houjin Tartars submit, so that the imperial court would have the energy to solve the problems of people's livelihood.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Yang said has some truth, but since Huang Taiji has written a letter and is willing to surrender to my Ming court, such an opportunity cannot be given up, if it can be surrendered without a fight, it is the best situation, the minister has not been in the cabinet for a long time, but the minister deeply feels that the annual court because of the war expenses are too huge, so that there is no silver to do other things."

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, feeling that what Zhu Xianxuan said was more reasonable.

"I think that what you said has some truth, this matter, I will discuss it first in the cabinet, and then it can be discussed at the court meeting, and I will come up with a statement, I mean, since the Houjin Tartar is willing to surrender, I can't give it a try."

Yang Sichang frowned, ready to continue speaking, but Zhu Youzhen's next words made it difficult for him to speak.

"Of course I can't trust the Houjin Tartars, what is the purpose of Huang Taiji, since I have decided to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, why didn't I put forward specific conditions, what to do with so many places occupied, Manchu Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners, as well as how to deal with those Han troops, plundered my Ming people, how to deal with them, and so on, I didn't say a way, but these things, I think, can be solved in negotiations, if Huang Taiji doesn't let go of anything, it is tantamount to no sincerity, There is no need to believe this nonsense. ”

The opinions of the cabinet were quickly unified, and everyone believed that since Huang Taiji wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it was still possible, at least he needed to contact him first to see what kind of attitude the Houjin Tartar had, whether he really wanted to be able to surrender, and all matters were not necessary to guess when there was no specific contact.

At the time of the court meeting, Huang Taiji's letter sparked a big discussion, many civil and military ministers, are congratulating the emperor, thinking that the Ming Dynasty is rich and strong, so that the Houjin Tartar feels afraid, at this time, should accept the Houjin Tartar's bowing courtiers, the Ming Dynasty is a great power in the Celestial Empire, to have such a bearing.

The opinions of the court will be surprisingly unanimous, but how to negotiate, what conditions should be proposed, there are a lot of suggestions, there are a few points of unification, the so-called Qing Dynasty established by the Later Jin Dynasty, must be abolished, the Later Jin is not a country, it was the Jianzhou Wei of the Ming Dynasty before, if it is submitted to the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to restore the rules of the Wanli period, as for the configuration of the army and other matters, it must also be in accordance with the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, the guard can exist, but the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners must be revoked and disbanded on the spot, After the surrender, Jin's Han army, especially the Han army officers, was to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty to deal with.

The more radical ones are those imperial historians and giving things, they even think that if Huang Taiji really wants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he must send his son to the capital as a hostage, so as to be able to show the sincerity of surrender, and at the same time, the imperial court must send officials to Jianzhou Wei, and the command of Jianzhou Wei must be an official sent by the imperial court.

During the discussion at the court meeting, Yang Sichang and Lu Shanji basically didn't say anything.

The two of them know more about the situation of Houjin Tatar, and Yang Sichang is directly in charge of the military department, they have always been a little confused about the meaning of Huang Taiji's letter, it is said that Huang Taiji is not such a person, it is impossible to bow down because the red flag was annihilated by the Jiangning battalion, you must know that Lu Dao Nurhachi often with a small number of troops, defeated several times his own army, such a tenacious style, Huang Taiji also exists, for what is in the Manchurian Eight Banners, Mengba Banners and Han Eight Banners, Even when the Han army's reputation suffered a devastating blow, it raised it and bowed down.

It's a pity that they can't have the upper hand in this kind of thinking, and at the same time, the two also think that since Huang Taiji has such a request, it is still necessary for the two sides to negotiate, anyway, when negotiating, they can put forward all the requirements, if the Houjin Tartar and Huang Taiji do not agree to these requirements, then the two sides will start to fight face-to-face, and speak with strength.

In the end, the opinions were unified.

When he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was full of holes, the rebellion of the Houjin Tartars and the Liukou, the disasters of the years, more than ten years have passed, the Liukou has been exterminated, and now the Houjin Tartars are also going to bow down to the vassals, although the lives of the common people have not been fundamentally improved, but the treasury has more silver, if it can end the expedition as soon as possible, the silver saved, you can do a lot of things.

Zhu Xianxuan wrote a letter to Su Tiancheng this time, a little later, when he was preparing to discuss the court meeting, he wrote a letter to Su Tiancheng, that is to say, after the emperor and the court basically determined their opinions, Zhu Xianxuan decided to write a letter to Su Tiancheng, in fact, Zhu Xianxuan's idea was good, he didn't want Su Tiancheng to put forward any different opinions, Yang Sichang said very tactfully in front of the emperor, but the emperor still insisted on his own opinion.

Zhu Xianxuan can also conclude that Su Tiancheng must have a different view on this matter, and may even have diametrically opposite views, and will not agree to Huang Taiji's so-called subservient request, so he will be embarrassed, and the emperor may not be happy. (To be continued......)
