Su Tiancheng received Zhu Xianxuan's letter, and his face turned pale with anger.

Zhu Xianxuan's letter was written very carefully, including the emperor's opinions, the opinions discussed by the cabinet, etc., including everyone's words, which were very clear, and in the letter, there was an extension of the emperor's letter.

Su Tiancheng read this letter several times and soon found the problem.

Huang Taiji only mentioned the surrender of the Ming Dynasty, there are no specific conditions, such a surrender, anyone can do it, even if the two sides negotiate, if it is a condition to implement, how long will it take, at least more than half a year, plus the preparation of the early and late stages, most of the time will pass.

Su Tiancheng believes very much that there is a saying, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, the country is defeated, not said down, nor negotiated, Houjin Tartar did not suffer particularly heavy losses, not to the point of exhaustion, for what will surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is completely unnecessary, when Nurhachi rebelled and attacked the Ming Dynasty, it was carefully considered, and it was by no means a simple decision, and today's Huang Taiji, in terms of ability, is not necessarily much worse than Nurhachi, Why would it be easy to say the words of surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and why would you make such a decision.

Judging from the actual situation of the Great Qing Dynasty, it is still many Manchu nobles who maintain the rule of the Great Qing Dynasty, and these Manchu nobles, Su Tiancheng still knows some of them, they are all extremely strong and do not admit defeat, even if Dai Shan, who suffered a major defeat, was escorted to the capital, he did not reveal the intention of surrendering. These Manchu nobles support Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji is likely to maintain good rule, if it is said to be subservient to the Ming Dynasty, those Manchu nobles. Isn't it going to be a rebellion?

It is said that in the recent expedition, Huang Taiji still achieved a major victory in Liaodong, the Ming border army was almost completely annihilated, and the victory of the Jiangning battalion in Fuzhou and Dengzhou and other places, that is, the annihilation of 20,000 Tartars of the Zhenghong Banner and 15,000 Houjin Naval Division, the two are compared. Houjin still took advantage, at least in terms of personnel losses, much less than the Ming army, although the number of the army, on the surface it is very huge, but can really pull out the army, Liao Ruoxingchen, except for the Jiangning battalion, Yulin battalion and the border army, can no longer find other troops.

The comparison between the Ming army and the Houjin Tartars in terms of strength. Both sides have their own advantages, and the conquest is still a long process, and both sides are likely to pay significant sacrifices and costs.

In such a situation, Huang Taiji proposed to bow down to his subordinates, and the ghosts would not believe it.

For what emperor would believe such a thing, including Zhu Xianxuan, in the letter, he also revealed a complacent tone. Are they so mentally retarded?

Su Tiancheng remembers very clearly, hundreds of years later. There have also been such incidents, the so-called negotiations, but just delaying time, and the painstaking negotiations between the two sides have finally become a piece of papyrus, which has no effect at all. People don't admit it at all.

This kind of trick can't be hidden from Su Tiancheng.

After a long sigh, Su Tiancheng thought of it, to see what Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze thought, if the two of them also thought it was a good thing. Then there is really some trouble, I'm afraid it's not just trouble, but danger, the emperor and the ministers in the court are so easy to be deceived, and on the issue of the fight between the two countries, it is also dealt with in accordance with the Confucian ideology of etiquette, benevolence, wisdom and faith, so what kind of war is there to fight.

However, Su Tiancheng still has some confidence, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze have been following him for a long time, and some unrealistic thoughts should not exist, otherwise his hard work will not be in vain, especially Qu Qingze, with the proficiency of intelligence analysis, his understanding has slowly changed, and this change is earth-shaking, and it has subverted many understandings in the past.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze quickly entered the room.

Su Tiancheng handed Zhu Xianxuan's letter to the two of them, and walked around the house with his hands behind his back.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze looked at the letter carefully, they needed to figure out the meaning of it, to know that Su Tiancheng had read it several times before he had so many ideas, and it was impossible for the two of them to understand the meaning after reading it once. So Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry, waiting for them to take a slow look.

Half an hour passed.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze finally raised their heads. This means that they have thoroughly understood the letter written by Zhu Xianxuan.

Su Tiancheng was not polite, and spoke directly.

"You all talk about your opinions, just say it, don't have any concerns, this is in Dengzhou, not in the capital."

Hong Chengchou spoke first.

"My lord, Xia Guan feels that this matter is not very normal, Huang Taiji suddenly asked to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, it is too abrupt, it is said that the Hou Jin Tartar has not reached the point of exhaustion, how can such a request be made, the ferocity and tenacity of the Hou Jin Tartar, Xia Guan has a personal experience, and the combat effectiveness of the Hou Jin Tartar is indeed good, not as unbearable as some of the lords in the court said, the lower official feels strange, this Hou Jin Tartar is invincible in the world, the Ming army is unable to fight, and it is also said by some adults in the court, After this, the Golden Tartars were vulnerable, and they would soon be able not to be exterminated, and it was also said by those adults in the court, it was not that the emperor was deceived by these adults and decided to negotiate with the Houjin Tartars. ”

Su Tiancheng didn't speak, looking at Qu Qingze.

"My lord, the lower officials feel that what Lord Hong said is very reasonable, this Huang Taiji obviously did not want to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, if he really has such an idea, at least he must show sincerity, what kind of action is used, whether he is ready to disband the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners and the Han Army, or is he ready to come to the capital in person to ask for guilt, the letter did not say at all, such a surrender, the lower officials think, it is very likely to be a delaying tactic."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face, and he was relieved by the acquaintance between Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze.

"What you said is very reasonable, according to my understanding, this is Huang Taiji's delaying strategy, the purpose may be to gain time, but Huang Taiji is doing this, I still can't fully know, Dai Shan returned to Shenyang, the next step is probably to re-establish the Zheng Red Flag, there is nothing to worry about, the re-formed Zheng Red Flag is just a lot of abuse, I'm afraid Dai Shan himself also understands, without the baptism of blood and fire, it is impossible to have brave combat effectiveness."

"Even if the Jiangning battalion is preparing to attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, and Huang Taiji has deployed heavy troops here, we will be very cautious, from this level, Huang Taiji has no reason to use such a delaying strategy, the Jiangning battalion and the Manchu Eight Banners always have to fight a decisive battle, and the difference between morning and evening is not very big."

"I thought about it for a long time, the only possibility, is that the supply of Houjin is a little difficult, Houjin's territory is not very large, the food is not very sufficient, so many years have passed, Houjin Tartars can not be as before, anytime and anywhere to enter the customs and plunder, they don't dare to do this, there is no looting, the place is barren, the supply of food will naturally have problems, this time in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou battle, Huang Taiji sent 100,000 troops, the consumption is huge, now stationed in Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou Houjin Tartars, The number of the Han Eight Banners and the Han Army is also about 100,000, and these people all need to eat food. ”

"If there is no threat from my Jiangning battalion, these Houjin Tartars can be produced, grazed and hunted, and replenished grain and grass, but now they can't, they must stick to it, consumption is inevitable, in this case, Huang Taiji may need time to consider the problem of supply."

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze nodded frequently.

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Hong Chengchou quickly spoke.

"My lord, if the imperial court does not have a holy decree, the Jiangning battalion can launch an attack on Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, disrupt the deployment of Huang Taiji, and make the tricks of Huang Taiji and Houjin Tartar not succeed."

Su Tiancheng shook his head gently.

"It's not that simple, haven't you looked carefully, the emperor has made it clear, in this case, the Jiangning battalion is still attacking, inside and outside is not a person, even if it wins, I am afraid it will be punished by the imperial court, during the negotiation, if the two sides do not launch an active attack, they will maintain the current situation, and if one party takes the initiative to attack, it will lose moral support, which is probably the most taboo thing for the imperial court."

"But you can't just watch Huang Taiji's tricks succeed."

A sneer appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Huang Taiji thinks too simply, Jiangning Camp will not be idle, let Huang Taiji be complacent, lose the east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, Jiangning Camp still has a lot of things to do, the matter of Taiwan Island, is the matter in front of us, really, and the affairs of the Mongolian tribe, must be coordinated, now the time is ripe, let the Xibe tribe and the Dauri tribe to stir up the pattern of the grassland, so that the Mongolian Eight Banners that Huang Taiji can rely on suffer a heavy blow, or even ashes, hum, Thinking of playing tricks with me, Huang Taiji was also overconfident. ”

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze did not appear happy, in their opinion, the most important thing is to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, of course, Huang Taiji decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, even if it is fake, they cannot attack the Houjin Tartars at present, the situation that Su Tiancheng said is real, although there is no explanation for the reason, but both of them understand.

Since they want to prepare to attack the Dutch army stationed on the island of Taiwan, it is necessary for the naval division to make full preparations, and for such a battle, Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze are full of confidence; judging from the information they have, the strength of the Dutch army stationed in Taiwan is less than 3,000 people, and this army may not need to spend much effort to completely wipe it out.

It's just that Su Tian has become a man who values Taiwan like that, and the two of them still don't understand it very well. (To be continued......)
