Finance Minister Wang Zhongxiao shook his head and objected, "General, I don't agree. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info since the second year of Chongzhen, the war has continued, and the people have suffered from the war. The Central Plains is ten rooms and nine empty. There is no dog barking in the village, and there is still knocking on the door of urging; The trees have cries, and they are sprinkled with the blood of the whip. Huang'ai Chidi, the countryside is a few people; White bones and green phosphorus, often hear ghosts crying every night. The people have been waiting for peace for a long time. General, it's better to negotiate peace for the sake of the people! ”

Yao Qisheng's expression did not become and replied: "Confused, if there is really a peace talk, then it is really a trick of the Manchu Qing Dynasty." The Manchu Qing Dynasty lost its troops and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses had to defend various places, and they were unable to attack at all, so they proposed peace talks. The north needs to rely on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to transport southern grain to meet daily consumption. As long as three or five years of recuperation are given, the Manchus have regained their strength, and for the sake of food and taxes, they will inevitably go south again, and then the war will be more fierce and more people will die. The grain and grass taxes in the south were better than those in the north, and the lower officials thought that it would only take two or three years to train new soldiers to guard the localities, and then send elite soldiers to the north to unify China. At that time, the world will really be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment! ”

Liu Ruojin, Minister of Public Security, opened his mouth and said, "It's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate, the opinion of the Chief of the General Staff, I'm afraid I don't consider the safety of the general's biological father, Zheng Taishi, right?"

Yao Qisheng didn't consider Zheng Zhilong's situation, but deliberately forgot about it. But it's another thing to point it out. Liu Ruojin's hat is too big, and it is simply a crime that makes Zheng Chenggong unfilial from now on.

Yao Qisheng also had to ask Zheng Chenggong for the guilt: "Xi Zhi is not thoughtful, there is such an omission, and he also asks the general to confess." ”

Zhou Quanbin, the commander of the Sixth Group Army, shouted, "If you agree to peace talks, the Manchu Qing will inevitably spread rumors that the general is not really anti-Qing and Ming at all, he just wants to take the opportunity to monopolize power, and he is ambitious to become Wang Mang and An Lushan." Now as soon as I see that I can row the river and rule, I will no longer fight. Those who are ready to covet pleasure and consolidate their power, this kind of person who seeks the world for his own selfish interests is simply despicable villain. This can cause immeasurable damage to the reputation of the great general. ”

Wang Zhongxiao retorted, "If you don't negotiate peacefully, the Manchu Qing Dynasty said that the general was a son of unfilial piety, and he didn't even care about his biological father for the sake of power, and his character can be imagined." At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty said that don't look at Zheng Chenggong now that he is benevolent and righteous, once this kind of person takes power in the future, he will inevitably be like Yang Guang and others who are tyrants, corrupt officials, and corrupt officials, rampant expropriation and plunder, fish and flesh the people, and the people are not happy. Once the people agree with this point of view, it will bring great harm to the future governance of the general and the attraction of talents! ”

For a time, voices of approval and opposition filled the lobby of the Guiyang Mansion.

Listening to this noise, Zheng Chenggong had a headache.

No matter which one they choose in the end, the Manchus will inevitably fan the flames and spread rumors and destroy their reputation.

If the strength is enough, it is to directly send troops to the north and smash the Yellow Dragon.

But now the strength is not enough, and it still needs time to rectify the southwest, recruit the people, and expand the army.

Hey, the plan is not afraid of abuse, as long as it works.

The Manchu Qing were really disgusted with themselves this time.

Hearing that they were arguing again, Zheng Chenggong, who was already upset, suddenly became angry, slapped the desk hard, and drank: "Shut up!" ”

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was angry, the people in the room suddenly fell silent.

Zheng Chenggong pondered for a while and said, "Since peace talks are not, neither are peace talks. Then use procrastination. Hold off for a year or two, and see if you can redeem my father with money or some other means!" ”

Yao Qisheng and Zhou Quanbin's eyes lit up when they heard it, and now this situation is more appropriate.

After all, Zheng Zhilong is the father of the general, and he really doesn't care about his life or death, in case the general holds a grudge, it will be really unlucky.

Zheng Jiajun only needs two or three years to expand the soldiers and horses now, as long as it drags on for a year or two, the soldiers and horses are trained, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not let Zheng Zhilong go, it doesn't matter.

Yao Qisheng hurriedly said: "The general's plan is good, not too late, it is just right!" “

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said, "It's not good for me to come forward in this matter, let Foreign Minister Lu Zhenfei come forward to talk to the Manchu envoy!" ”

……

Under the escort and surveillance of the soldiers of the Zheng family, Kadahun came to Guiyang Mansion with his entourage.

Walking all the way into the city, Kadahun saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate were full of spirit, with their heads held high, their armor distinct, and they had a kind of fierce and terrifying atmosphere at a glance, which was really elite.

Seeing these soldiers, Kadahun secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder he could win against me against the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry, he really had some ability.

Kadahun walked into the lobby of the government office, thinking that he would see Zheng Chenggong, but he didn't expect that the person sitting inside was an old man in his sixties.

Kadahun took a few steps forward and said loudly, "I am the angel of the Qing Dynasty, Kadahun, dare to ask Mr. Dahun's name?" ”

Lu Zhenfei stood up and said in a deep voice, "I am Lu Zhenfei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Qin Palace, and I am here to discuss the visit with you!" ”

Kadahun asked, "Dare to ask where the King of Qin is in the Ming Dynasty, why didn't he come in person?" ”

Lu Zhenfei shouted, "Bold! How noble is the lord of my house, and you can see it if you want to see it? ”

Kadahun said calmly, "In his early years, your lord's biological father, Zheng Feihuang, in order to prevent the people from suffering from war, felt that ****** was the destiny of heaven, and voluntarily surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that Zheng Chenggong didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, and for his own selfish interests, he rebelled repeatedly and four times, making the people's livelihood miserable and the people displaced. Zheng Feihuang was heartbroken, he didn't think about tea and dinner all day, and finally lay sick in bed, dying, afraid that time would be impermanent. When Zheng Feihuang was critically ill, he still remembered his eldest son Zheng Sen. I am invited to come and tell him that he may go north to see his father for the last time. ”

Lu Zhenfei heard that in order to deceive Zheng Chenggong, Kadahun actually said that Zheng Zhilong was a dying person, and secretly scolded the Manchu Qing for being despicable and shameless.

Although he scolded more than once in his heart, Lu Zhenfei said anxiously on his face, "Ah, Taishi Zheng is also so dangerous, when the southerners are not satisfied with the water and soil of the north, please escort them south as soon as possible, my lord will definitely ask a famous doctor to take care of him, and he will definitely be able to recover." ”

Kadahun shook his head and said, "Zheng Zhilong is sick in bed because he is unwell, and he can't walk at all, where can he go south." It's better for Zheng Sen to go north! ”

For a while, for Zheng Zhilong to go south, or Zheng Chenggong to go north, Ka Dahun and Lu Zhenfei had a verbal battle.

The two said that the ceiling was rotten, but there was nothing substantial.

The two of them talked nonsense for a long time, and Lu Zhenfei became impatient, coughed a few times and said, "General Kadahun, this official will not be too mysterious with you." How can Taishi Zheng return safely? ”

Kadahun said, "Good! Mr. Lu was happy. Then I'll make it clear. I was sent by the Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty to negotiate peace. Our emperor has always admired the loyalty of your prince, and specially ordered the officials to come to visit. As long as your master is willing to follow me and the Qing Dynasty with the Yangtze River as the boundary, we will not invade each other. Our emperor should escort Zheng Feihuang south. ”

Lu Zhenfei pondered for a while and said, "I need to make sure that Taishi Zheng is still alive, otherwise there is no point in anything." ”

Kadahun asked, "Then how can you confirm that Zheng Zhilong is alive and dead?" ”

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly replied, "I am willing to return with you, and I will discuss with you after I have seen Taishi Zheng with my own eyes!" ”

Kadahun looked at Lu Zhenfei and said: "Now that your master rules most of the southern part of the country, and my Qing Dynasty rules the northern half of the country, it is the best policy for the two families to live in peace." Otherwise, your lord will force himself to attack the Northern Expedition, and my emperor will definitely be broken jade rather than be destroyed. The Qing Dynasty had 500,000 soldiers, and they would fight to the death until the last soldier. At that time, your Zheng family's army will lose its troops and lose its generals, and its vitality will be greatly damaged, and this little foundation in the south will only be cheaper for Li Dingguo, Li Chengdong and others in the end. Your master is a wise man, and I don't need to say much about the stakes here. If Zheng Mingyan is still determined to go his own way, I will go back and forth. But the First World War. ”

Damn, it's really a treacherous villain, and he never forgets to block us!

Lu Zhenfei also said with a good face for you, "My lord is a wise man, and he should know how to choose. It's just that your master should be careful. Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong and other Han generals were only forced by the situation to defect to you Manchu Qing at the beginning. But now your Manchu Qing Dynasty has suffered one defeat after another, and your prestige is not as good as before. The terrain of Shu is steep, and the grain and grass are abundant, and most of the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison are under Wu Sangui and other Han officials, if Wu Sangui and other Han generals rebel, hehe, then you Manchu ......"

Kadahun's face was gloomy when he heard this, the Manchus have always been very wary of these Han officials, and now that the Manchus are in this situation, it is really difficult to protect Wu Sangui and their dissenting intentions.

But how could this kind of thing be said in front of Zheng Jiajun's people, Kada Hun hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "This doesn't cost you to worry, my lord treats people with sincerity, treats Wu Sangui and others well, they are favored by the emperor, and they will definitely swear to serve me to the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Really? Hehehe...... "Lu Zhenfei didn't continue this topic, and some words just stopped.

After Lu Zhenfei and Kadahun talked a few more words, they agreed to set off north in seven days. Kadahun and they returned to the post station to settle down, and Lu Zhenfei went to Zheng Chenggong to make a confession. (To be continued.) )
