Chapter 53: Let Huang Taiji come and talk to me

There is Hanzhong in front of the road, there is the danger of Yunyang in the back, and there are lofty mountains and mountains on the left and right, for an invincible cavalry galloping across the plains, it is a nightmare to encounter this kind of thing.

The Jurchens and Mongols, they always thought that the only thing that could stop them was the Great Wall, and as long as they could cross the Great Wall, the Central Plains would let them gallop, but at this moment, they knew that this idea was very wrong. It is not only the Great Wall that can stop them, but also the various natural hazards in the Central Plains, which will make them lose their lives, and of course, the most important thing is that the people who can make good use of these natural dangers.

Looking at the impregnable Hanzhong City, watching the warriors who rushed over fall one after another, Huang Taiji's heart was almost about to collapse, as a generation of Tianjiao, he has always been calm and wise, but this time, he can no longer calm down, and again, he has no idea.

"Dolgon......" Huang Taiji called out, turning his head.

"Emperor......" Dolgon rode forward and came to the side of Huang Taiji.

"The current situation can be described as extremely dangerous, there is no way in front and back, left and right, what do you think we should do?" Huang Taiji said.

"This ......" Dolgon at this time, in fact, there is no good way, after thinking for a while, he said: "The courtiers think that at present, there are only two ways to go, but no matter which one is taken, the future is extremely difficult for us, and the possibility of failure is very high. ”

"Tell me about it." Huang Taiji said.

"The first way, abandon the horse over the mountain, into Huguang, we still have more than 100,000 people, even if there are no horses, you can also stir up in the hinterland of the Ming army, but the final outcome, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat. The second way is to surrender by deception. But if we surrender by fraud, the Ming court will definitely let us return the territory of Liaodong, and if we don't hand it over at that time, the Ming court will definitely kill us, and then send troops to Liaodong, but if we surrender, then we will have nothing. Dorgon said.

"Yes, abandoning horses and going over the mountains is indeed a road, but there are no horses, the Ming soldiers are numerous, and when the time comes, the crowd will attack, we have nowhere to hide if we want to, it is really like a lost dog, our warriors, will all be buried in the Central Plains. If you surrender......" Huang Taiji hesitated, and then said: "If I surrender, I will not have the face to go back to see my Jurchen people, nor will I have the face to see Ama under the Nine Springs, only to die." At that time, you will bury my bones on Helan Mountain, so that I can see you regain the lost inheritance of Amma, and I will be able to smile at the Nine Springs. Dolgon, you are Amma's most beloved son, and Amma had high hopes for you, and it has been proved that your intelligence is far superior to mine, and far superior to all your brothers. Hauge acted recklessly and charged into battle, indeed, but without the talent of an emperor. After my death, the burden of my Jurchen revival will be entrusted to you......"

Huang Taiji said earnestly. From his tone and attitude, it can be heard that he is explaining the aftermath. It can also be seen from here that he intends to die.

"Your Majesty...... Are you ...... How can the courtiers afford it......" Dolgon hurriedly excused himself.

"Don't say more, you can't see the current situation, if I don't die, you will all die together in the end. My Jurchen has such a small family business, I really can't afford to toss, if we all die, Liaodong will also be under the nest, and there will be no eggs. After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Someone, pass on my generals, stop the attack, Mingjin and withdraw the troops!" ”

The Tartars withdrew their troops, and this time they did not temporarily stop the attack, but directly withdrew to Golden State.

The Jinzhou Mansion is now the temporary palace of Huang Taiji, where Huang Taiji convened a group of princes and Baylor to discuss matters.

Everyone in the hall looked ugly today, and it can be described as dejected. After all, everyone knows the current situation, and there seems to be no other way for them than death.

Huang Taiji sat in the middle, looked at the prince Baylor standing on both sides, and said: "Everyone, the current situation, everyone should have understood, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, we have been trapped here by the Ming army, it will not be long before the grain and grass are exhausted, and it is a dead end." Therefore, I have summoned you to discuss nothing but surrender today. ”

"Ah......h

As soon as he heard Huang Taiji say that he wanted to surrender, he was in an uproar when he was neutral, "Your Majesty, we can't surrender, we Jurchens have always been better to be broken than broken, how can we bend our knees to the Ming people." "Yes, the emperor, we can't surrender, once we surrender, the Ming court is bound to ask us to hand over the territory outside the customs, then we will not pay, if not, they will definitely say that we have no intention of surrendering, and then kill us, and then attack Liaodong, if we surrender, let us face the old Khan King under Jiuquan in the future." ……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but the caliber was the same, and they resolutely could not surrender. After the hall was quiet for a while, Mang Gurtai stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, we must not surrender." It's really not good, I think it's better to give up the horses, go over the mountains and mountains, and enter the lake, our Eight Banners warriors, even if there are no horses, can still run rampant in the world. ”

"Mang Gurtai, without horses, can we really run rampant in the world?" Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.

This sentence alone made Mang Gurtai not know how to answer, "This...... This...... Even if it is not enough to run rampant in the world, the combat effectiveness of our Eight Banners warriors is not comparable to that of the Ming army. ”

"One-to-one, one-to-two, even if there are no horses, we are never afraid of the Ming army. However, the Ming army will not be one-on-one with us, one-on-two, it is very likely that it will be one-on-ten, one-on-twenty, at that time, can we still fight. Also, at this moment, it seems that we still have 150,000 or 60,000 people, but you must know that not all of these horses are Jurchens, and more than half of them are Mongols. Will they have the same mind with us, will they abandon their horses, cross the mountains and mountains with us, and fight hard with the Ming army when there are no war horses? At this moment, we know the situation, and the Mongols also know it, these Mongols have always fallen with the wind, and when they have interests, they will follow, and when there are no interests, they will immediately turn their backs on you. If my guess is correct, in a day or two, there will be Mongols who will go to surrender to the Ming army. If they surrender first, it's hard to say whether the Ming people will allow us to surrender. Therefore, I decided to preempt the Mongols, negotiate peace with the Ming army, and surrender ......"

"The Emperor's ......." and "The Emperor's .......".......

"Don't persuade you anymore, I've made up my mind. After surrendering, if I want to come to Liaodong's territory, I will also give it to the Ming Court, and at that time, I will return to Liaodong alive without a face, and I have already decided that once I die, after I die, you will bury my body on Helan Mountain, that is. Also, after my death, I am afraid that the name of the Qing Dynasty will not exist, and the throne will not have to be inherited for the time being, but the throne of Khan still has to choose an heir. Dolgon's ingenuity and cunning are above mine, and I have decided to pass on the throne to Dolgon, and you people are witnesses. Huang Taiji said earnestly.

"Your Majesty...... You...... I can't help it......" Dolgon was the first to kneel to the ground, and the others followed.

"Okay, don't say any more, that's it. I'll ask Sony to go to Yunyang tomorrow and ask him to negotiate peace with the Ming army, see what the Ming army has to say, and then make a final decision. After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the back.

At this moment, he is physically and mentally exhausted, really tired, so tired.

The next day, early in the morning, Sony took twenty soldiers and hurried to Yunyang. When he came to Yunyang City, as soon as he said what he wanted, the defenders in the city immediately went to tell Yue Su. Yue Su asked Sonny to let him in, while he himself waited in the city's makeshift walk.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to lead Sony to arrive, into the lobby, Sony saw a man in his thirties sitting in the middle, dignified, wearing a first-class civil official robe, expected that this person must be the most talkative in Yunyang City, so he rushed to the top and said: "The Great Qing Dynasty Jia Lazhang Jing Sony, on the order of the Qing Emperor, came here to negotiate peace with the Ming Court." I don't know if the officials in the hall, who respect their surnames and names, can be the masters. ”

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha...... "As soon as he heard this, Yue Su couldn't help laughing, not to mention Yue Su laughing, the guards beside Yue Su Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and others also laughed.

Then, I only heard Tie Qiu smile and say, "Huh...... What kind of thing are you, dare to ask my family if you can do it, my family's lord, but when you are the first assistant of the court, what is the master, you can't do it! ”

"Could it be that Your Excellency is Lord Shoufu Yue...... "Yue Su's name, of course Sony heard about it, and now that he sees it, he is only in his thirties, and he can't help but be in awe. Then, Sonny bowed down and said, "Sonny see Lord Yue." ”

"Excuse me." Yue Su said lightly: "The name "Sony ......", Yue Su has also heard it, of course, not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the previous life. I remember watching a TV series in my last life, called "Kangxi Dynasty", in which there is the number one Sony, and he was also the first assistant of the Qing Dynasty at that time, a very good character.

It's a pity that now it's not the Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty, and you, Sony, are not the first assistant, and the first assistant recognized in the world is sitting in front of you. "You mean, you came to negotiate peace with me on the orders of Huang Taiji?"

"Exactly." Sony said.

"Negotiate peace...... Yue Su chuckled lightly and said: "At this moment, you are already in the heavens and have no way to enter the earth, and you still want to negotiate peace with me, do you have this qualification." If it is said that surrender, I may still be able to consider it, and as for peace, then there is no need to talk about it. You go back now, tell Huang Taiji, if you want to come and surrender, I Yue Su can accept it, but not everyone among the Jurchens is qualified to negotiate with me, ask Huang Taiji to come by himself......" Speaking of this, Yue Su waved his hand and said loudly: "Send off!" ”

This is the posture of the winner, Yue Su now has the qualifications to put on this posture, the other party has become a turtle in the urn, and Yue Su's side, is a strong soldier, in addition to the current troops, Yue Su has also mobilized Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huguang, Henan, Sima Qiaoyu's soldiers and horses to rush here, the total number of soldiers and horses is not less than 300,000, plus the existing soldiers and horses, it is nearly 500,000. With so many soldiers and horses, if you fight on the plains, it will not be easy to win, but if the Tartars abandon their horses and flee over the mountains, then Yue Su will not mind having a decisive battle with the Tartars.

Sonny was invited to travel, sent out of Yunyang, and with his subordinates, he reluctantly returned to Jinzhou and reported the situation of seeing Yue Su to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji met with Sony, he did not turn his back on anyone, but asked him to say it in front of the prince Baylor.

When everyone present heard this, they were furious, and they were filled with righteous indignation, saying that they would go to Yunyang and fight to the death with Yue Su. But Huang Taiji just waved his hand and said: "Everyone, don't be impulsive, in the past, it was explained that Xiang Yuesu was a character, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, now that we are in a desperate situation, I think it is thanks to him." There is a saying in the Central Plains, how can people not bow their heads under the low eaves, and now we are already a tiger falling into Pingyang, this breath can only be endured. However, you must remember that the humiliation given to us by the Ming people will one day be redoubled, but not now. Now, we have only patience. Okay, didn't Yue Su let me go in person, okay, I also want to see with my own eyes what this person known as 'Yue Qingtian' is like. ”

"The Emperor's ......" "The Emperor...... If you go, won't there be no return, and the Ming people will definitely not let you go......"......

Facing the dissuasion of his subordinates, Huang Taiji just smiled, "If I don't go, is there any other way?" If the whole army is annihilated, what good can we Jurchen do, and then I am afraid that even the people outside the gate will be slaughtered by the Ming. Leave me alone, in exchange for everyone's life, preserve strength, and have a day of revenge in the future. Now, if everyone loses their lives and all their belongings for the sake of one breath, then we will not even have a chance to take revenge. Say no more, after I'm gone, I'll leave it to Dolgon, and you'll all be at his disposal, you know? ”

"Yes, the emperor ......"

"Your Majesty, your courtiers will never live up to your trust...... although there are many estrangements between Dolgon and Huang Taiji, Dolgon's mother was forced to death by Huang Taiji. However, at this time, when the Jurchens were living and dying, there was no estrangement between the brothers, and Dolgon did not think about anything.

Huang Taiji just left, taking only Sonny and a hundred guards to Yunyang. He knew that no matter how many people he brought, it would be useless, and if he brought thousands of troops and horses, the Ming army would simply not open the city. As a sign of sincerity, only these can be brought.

The defenders in the city were not only a little surprised when they heard that it was the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji who had come in person, but hurriedly went to report to Yue Su. Lord Yue still had the posture of a victor, telling the soldiers to bring Huang Taiji with him. However, Huang Taiji was a person with status after all, and Yue Su was still careful and sent Jin Chan to the city gate to greet him on his behalf.

Huang Taiji brought a hundred people, and there were tens of thousands of defenders in the city, how could he be afraid of him, open the city gate, and invite him in, but the accompanying guards must untie their weapons before they can enter the city. Although Sonny and the others were angry, Huang Taiji still nodded at him and motioned for them to unload their weapons. There are so many people in the Ming army, what use can they have with weapons.

Huang Taiji's guards, after entering the city, were detained, and Huang Taiji was the only one who followed Jin Chan to Yue Su's line. This time, Lord Yue did not wait in the lobby, but according to etiquette, he personally went out to greet him.

"The Great Khan is here, and this official has missed the welcome, I'm really sorry."

Yue Su naturally would not call Huang Taiji the emperor, because there was only one emperor in the world. And at this moment, since Huang Taiji is here, he is already a prisoner of the ranks, and Yue Su calls him a great sweat, which is already very face-saving.

Huang Taiji glanced at Yue Su, looked at the robe, and knew his identity, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency thinks that it is Lord Yue of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji has heard of the name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet today." ”

"It's just a false name, the Great Khan is polite. Inside please. ”

At that moment, the two of them entered the line together, and came to the lobby, Yue Su sat down on the main seat, and arranged a chair for Huang Taiji in the upper position, and Huang Taiji was not polite, and sat down calmly.

A subordinate brought tea, and after retreating, Yue Su and Huang Taiji exchanged two words of greeting, and followed Yue Su to say: "Great Khan, you and I are fighting at the moment, I don't know if the Great Khan suddenly came, what are you doing?" ”

"Lord Yue, don't pretend to be confused, I sent someone to negotiate peace before, didn't your lord name and let Huang Taiji come in person, now that Huang Taiji has come, I don't know if you can sell face, let's sit down and have a good talk." Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"At that time, it was just a joke, and I didn't want the King Khan to come in person, which can be seen from the bottom of my heart. I am the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, and I have always liked peace, but if anyone dares to invade my territory, I will not be afraid of war. The Khan King sincerely wants to talk, and I am willing to do so, but I don't know what the Khan King plans to talk about and what conditions he intends to propose. Yue Su is also talking and laughing.

"Hahahaha...... The conditions ......" Huang Taiji laughed and said: "This time, my Jurchen has been defeated, trapped here by your army, and there is no way to advance or retreat, what other conditions can be mentioned." But since the adults said so, then I might as well make a condition, and the adults will see if they are satisfied. As long as Da Ming lets us go back, my Jurchen is willing to compensate Da Ming with two million taels of silver, send back all the captured prisoners, and give the land west of Liaoyang to Da Ming, I don't know what Lord Yue wants? ”

Originally, when Huang Taiji sent Sonny to negotiate, he was still lucky, if the person guarding the pass was not Yue Su, he also planned to pay more bribes and use the stolen gold and silver to buy off the court officials, hoping to save the territory of Liaodong. But when he knew that Yue Su was here, this idea was immediately gone, and Yue Su would definitely not eat this set, so let's do something.

"The Great Khan really likes to joke, your gold and silver are originally my Ming gold, and they are just returned to their original owners, how can they be called compensation. The land west of Liaoyang, let alone Liaoyang, even Shenyang, where the Great Khan lives, is the land of my Daming, what is it called giving it to our Daming? Yue Su said with a chuckle.

In the face of such ridicule, Huang Taiji just smiled and said, "Lord Yue, so this condition should be mentioned by you, it is really inappropriate for me to open my mouth." If you think my conditions are not good, please mention it. ”

"My conditions are very simple, you robbed me of anything, and you will pay it back. Also, these people who come to you may go, but they are not allowed to take anything with them but men, not including your horses. Yue Su said bluntly.
