Chapter 703: Another Year

April 16.

Outside Liaoyang City.

Houjin Daying.

Huang Taiji's sweat tent.

"It's so fast!" Huang Taiji took Sun Chengzong's reply letter to him, asking him to go to Sanchahe for peace talks, and asked him to go in person by name, along with a reply from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who handed him a letter of state asking for peace. Huang Taiji lamented that Sun Chengzong asked him to go to the Sanchahe Peace Talks by name, but that the Ming Dynasty replied too quickly.

Fan Wencheng was still working as a adviser by Huang Taiji's side, and when he heard Huang Taiji's muttering, he hurriedly lowered his head, what Huang Taiji said was so fast, he understood. Huang Taiji originally wanted to use the guise of peace talks to drag the Ming Dynasty army, suspend the Ming Dynasty's offensive, let the Ming Dynasty have internal conflicts, and seek the flaws of the Ming army, but there is a knot in the Ming Dynasty on the seventh day of the fourth month, and the Ming Dynasty army was confronted, and only today is April 16, but after nine days, the reply of the Ming Dynasty was sent to Huang Taiji.

"Ben Khan originally thought that he could delay for a while longer, but he didn't expect that the Ming Emperor's means were beyond Ben Khan's expectations, and he was able to settle Ben Khan's plan so quickly. It seems that the Ming Emperor's control of the Ming Dynasty is far more solid than Ben Khan thought! The Ming Emperor is not easy to deal with! Huang Taiji sighed, his hands trembling slightly. He spent a lot of effort to suppress everyone before he gave up Liaoyang City, he thought that he would gain a certain amount of time, and he thought that he could make chaos within the Ming Dynasty for a while, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's extremely fast reply to the letter made him completely disappointed. If the Ming Emperor did not have absolute control, it would be impossible for him to react so quickly, with his understanding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should be fighting fiercely, because he had enough bait. The actual situation was far beyond his expectations, and the bait he placed did not seem to have received the desired effect.

"Great Khan, it seems to be! It seems that the Great Khan has to find another way" Fan Wencheng lowered his head and said in a low voice, Huang Taiji's hand was trembling slightly, he saw it in his eyes, he didn't look like he was touching his head.

"Then what is the best way to teach Ben Khan?" Huang Taiji asked.

"This ......" Fan Wencheng was asked, he didn't have much to do, if there was a good way, it was far away from the Ming Dynasty, how far away he was, but now Huang Taiji gave up Liaoyang City and put on a posture of peace talks, and he couldn't mention it again.

There was silence for a long time.

"Ming Dynasty Governor Sun Chengzong asked Ben Khan to go to the Sancha River for peace talks, what does Xian Dou think about this matter?" Huang Taiji's hands have been trembling slightly, he spent a lot of effort to lay out the game, it seems to have no effect, now the Ming Dynasty has made a move, let him go to the Sancha River to negotiate peace, this time, it is Huang Taiji's turn to be embarrassed, to go or not to go? It doesn't seem to be a good choice. "Great Khan, this must not go, if the Great Khan goes, Dajin will fall apart immediately" Fan Wencheng immediately reminded Huang Taiji, don't let that peace talks give you a face, peace talks are just a cover, if you really go, this Dajin will be over.

Huang Taiji was silent for a while, the Ming Dynasty returned the move, and he was not easy to accept.

"If you don't go, I'm afraid you can't say it, Sun Chengzong said in the letter that he has great sincerity in the Ming Dynasty, and sent the emperor's ministers to do this, which shows the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty on this matter, and I hope that Ben Khan will also focus on peace talks and can go to the ...... in person" Huang Taiji said.

"Great Khan, the courtiers are willing to go to negotiate peace on behalf of the Great Khan" Dol Yi is also in the Khan's tent. Hearing that Huang Taiji was embarrassed, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Sanchatong for peace talks.

Huang Taiji was silent, the peace talks were just a cover, could he really send Dol Yi to the peace talks? Then he'll put himself in it.

Fan Wencheng sighed secretly, this road of peace talks, once gone, must go on, before the complete reversal of the situation, must not give up lightly, if it is repeated before the reversal of the situation, it will give the Ming Dynasty an excuse, in the future, there will not even be a chance to meet, although the peace talks are a disguise, but there is still a need to maintain.

"The Great Khan, you can't go, the Great Khan just refuses on the grounds that the major event is undecided, and the Great Khan is inconvenient to leave, but he can continue to ask Sun Chengzong to truce first, in order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, and the others can be delayed, if you can catch the flaws of the Ming Dynasty army, and you can annihilate it in one fell swoop, it is the best" Fan Wencheng said, at this time, there is not much room to move, and the way he can go, he can think of it, and the Ming Dynasty can also think of it, it is purely a fight between the two sides, and the actual two sides should fight the same war. …,

"Well, now it's the only way to go, let's delay it for a while, let Cheng first go to the Sancha River to deal with it for a while." Huang Taiji muttered.

"The Great Khan is wise." Fan Wencheng complimented, now is the time to delay, it is really good to send someone to deal with it, and the Ming Dynasty can't say anything, now it's just a rip-off.

"The Great Khan is wise." Dol Yi also said, although he said that he was willing to go to the Sancha River on behalf of Huang Taiji, but in fact, he was still worried that he would really be sent to the Sancha River, and it would be less auspicious. For Huang Taiji, he has to rely on it, but he has to be on guard, just like Huang Taiji does to him, he needs his help, but he also has to guard against him.

In the sweat tent, the air was a little weird.

"What's going on over there with Lin Dan Khan?" Huang Taiji seemed to remember something, and said.

"Back to the Great Khan, there seems to be no movement on Lin Dan Khan's side for the time being!" Dorgon replied.

"No movement? Lin Dan Khan should also know about the peace negotiations between Ben Khan and the Ming Dynasty, how could there be no movement? Huang Taiji hurriedly asked, as if he had thought of something important.

Dol Yi is a little confused, Lin Dan Khan's side, there has really been no movement recently! Did something happen? "What does the Great Khan mean by taking the opportunity of this peace talks with the Ming Dynasty to deceive Lin Dan Khan? Let Lin Dan Khan think that my Dajin and the Ming Dynasty will succeed in peace talks? Fan Wencheng seemed to understand and said immediately.

"Yes, Xiandou is worthy of Ben Khan's Zhuge , so quickly understood Ben Khan's intentions, although this peace talks failed to deceive the Ming Dynasty, but it can be used to deceive Lin Dan Khan, if you can break the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan, and then form an alliance with my Dajin, this grassland will be a family from now on" Huang Taiji suddenly said with a bright face.

"Wen Cheng is bold, dare to ask the Great Khan what he plans to do?" Fan Wencheng saw that Huang Taiji was more happy, and immediately asked.

"This is simple, and the Ming Dynasty peace talks at the same time, but also with Lin Dan Khan, and the Ming Dynasty peace talks to inform Lin Dan Khan, as long as I do the Ming Dynasty really good, the peace talks with the Ming Dynasty show enough sincerity, think Lin Dan Khan must be frightened, afraid that my Dajin will completely fall to the Ming Dynasty to deal with him, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, maybe it will be completely broken, if you can really form an alliance with Lin Dan Khan, it is not a good thing, so that you can oppress the Ming Dynasty through the grassland at will, then the pressure on the Ming Emperor will double, as long as the stalemate lasts for a few years, When Emperor Ming's money runs out, maybe the turning point will come," Huang Taiji said with a hint of excitement.

"The Great Khan is wise, this is indeed a clever plan" Fan Wencheng listened, and couldn't help but praise Huang Taiji.

"What does the Great Khan mean is that the relationship between my Dajin and the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan is like the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms? The Ming Dynasty is like Wei, Wei Cao is strong, naturally Liu Yuan united to resist Cao? "Dol Yi is also familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and immediately thought of the stories in the Three Kingdoms.

"Yes, this is exactly what Ben Khan means, since my Dajin and Lin Dan Khan are weak, they naturally have to unite against the Ming Dynasty, if Lin Dan Khan has read the Three Kingdoms, he should understand Ben Khan's intentions, if you persuade it well, it may not be impossible to say through Lin Dan Khan, as long as you understand Lin Dan Khan, it will be easy to do" Huang Taiji smiled, it seemed that the future was bright and full of confidence.

"Great Khan, this is indeed a wonderful diagnosis, if you persuade Lin Dan Khan with the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, it will definitely make sense, Lin Dan Khan is not a stupid person, naturally he is afraid that the Ming Emperor will take the opportunity to destroy him, the Ming Dynasty has now destroyed the ancient right-wing tribes, and the soldiers have reached the waist and abdomen of Lin Dan Khan, presumably Lin Dan Khan must also be like a man's back, it is not easy to live very well, if you can form an alliance with my Dajin, it will be better than being swallowed up by the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan, the minister is willing to be a messenger to promote this matter..."

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng, thought for a while, and said: "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, wait for Lin Dan Khan to be frightened and suspicious for a while, it is not appropriate for Xian Dou to go at this time, and besides, Ben Khan also needs Xian Dou to assist him" Huang Taiji did not approve of Fan Wencheng to be a messenger, but he did not seal the mouth either.

"The Great Khan has learned a lesson." Fan Wencheng hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Since you plan to form an alliance with Lin Dan Khan, then the war with Lin Dan Khan's side should be put aside for the time being, and for the time being, you will not attack and plunder Lin Dan Khan's pastures and livestock, and we will meet in the future......," Huang Taiji announced loudly, as if the victory was in hand. The Great Khan ...... wisely," Fan Wencheng and Dol Yi said. …,

The imperial court replied with great speed and appointed Sun Chengzong as the chief envoy of the peace talks, and Liu Jishan as the deputy envoy, which made Qin Liangyu, who was far away in Liaoyang, feel a lot more at ease, and got the conclusive news, and the military spirit of the army finally began to stabilize.

Since Sun Chengzong is the envoy of the peace talks, he will not betray the army, and there is no danger of pointing fingers at the army.

"Fortunately, the imperial court recovered very quickly this time, and now the military spirit has finally gradually stabilized," Qin Liangyu said first. Several people here are all coaches, including Mao Wenlong, Hong Chengchou, and Man Gui.

"Fortunately, if the imperial court hesitates, this army is far away in Liaodong, and it is really dangerous to be plagued by rumors" Hong Chengchou immediately took over the conversation, this time Huang Taiji and the emperor fought in the air, as a bystander, he did feel a lot of pressure, and he was palpitating.

"Huang Taiji, this official is in Liaodong, but I often hear the reputation of this person, he is indeed a powerful horn, and he really can't be careless when fighting him..."Mao Wenlong said. Several commanders nodded yes again, this time they did feel the pressure, Donglu showed great "sincerity" and talked about rumors, the army's heart was immediately unstable, fortunately, these horses are the elite of the elite, and their will is much stronger than that of ordinary troops, although they are a little shaken, but not to the point where they can't fight, and now although the matter has passed, they still have lingering palpitations.

"Elder Sun Ge has a new arrangement, let me just do my own, don't care about the peace talks, just when this matter doesn't exist, fight the war that should be fought, cover the battlefield that should cover the battlefield, don't waver...... Qin Liangyu said.

"It's still the elder of the pavilion who understands the reason, and fortunately, the elder of the pavilion is the envoy of this peace talks, otherwise, you will have to face the noise of the courtiers...... "Mao Wenlong said.

"Since the elder of the pavilion has orders, then I will naturally follow them, I was worried that the army's morale was unstable, but now that the rumors are gone, it is time for the soldiers to do a good job" Man Gui interjected.

Qin Liangyu looked at Hong Chengchou.

"Since the elder of the pavilion has instructed me to do it." Hong Chengchou made a statement.

"Good! Then according to the instructions of the elder of the pavilion, the war will be gradually opened, and the east will continue to be pressed north, so that the east will not be at peace, and it will be good to let out a bad breath" Qin Liangyu said. I was delayed by the peace talks before, because of the lack of authority, I had to temporarily slow down and wait for the court to deal with the peace talks, but now that I have the permission of the court, I naturally no longer hesitate to do what to do. Chongzhen for three years.

It was another year of great drought.

By mid-April, the reduction of output in Shaanxi was a foregone conclusion, and the harvest in many places was also a foregone conclusion. The drought is so severe that it is impossible to expect anything to grow in the crops.

Another year of the Great Migration is about to begin.

Mizhi County, Shaanxi.

It's the same place, it's been three years since Gu did the same thing.

In the first year, an official surnamed Zhang was in charge of immigration here, and in the second year, it was still the immigration officer surnamed Zhang, and this year it was this immigration officer surnamed Zhang who was presiding over the great migration.

Migration has become a major event in Mizhi County, and people can't live in the field, so they have to go away, but fortunately, God favors them, and the emperor will not leave them to take care of them, at least they also have a place to go, so that they will not wander aimlessly, nor will they starve to death on the side of the road, although they have suffered a great drought, people's spirits are good, there is not much panic, and there is no despair, the whole crowd is full of hope and goodwill laughter, as if the great drought is not a terrible thing, but a thing to be happy about.

Mizhi County is close to the Wuding River.

Outside the county seat, on the banks of the river, there are many people who are about to migrate, these people, in groups of several people, maybe several families together, or simply a big family ready to move collectively.

"Mother, I heard my uncle say that there is fish to eat today...... a little girl said to her mother seriously. Niu Niu is obedient, obedient, obedient will have fish to eat" The young mother smiled and comforted, not having any desperate expression because of this year's great drought, but full of hope, and in the laughter, there was no far-fetched sound, but seemed to be more determined.

"Mother, where did the fish come from? Why couldn't Niu Niu eat fish before? The little girl asked seriously.

"Niuniu! This fish was brought from far, far away...... "The young mother explained with a smile. …,

"Mother, where is the far, far away? ,… The little girl is a serious fellow.

"Far, far away! Just far, far away in the east, all the way to the east, about two or three months, you can go to the sea, to the sea, to the sea, you can see a lot of fish, these fish! It was shipped from that place, Niuniu, do you understand? The young mother explained that she had also heard that the fish were brought from a distant seashore, and that although there was a smell of the sea, it was still a delicious meal for those who could not eat, and the young mother had also heard from others, so she explained it to the little girl.

"Niuniu! These fish, are the emperor pity us who can't eat, specially transported from the distant seaside, when you grow up in the future, remember to repay the kindness, you know? The old man on the side said with a smile. The origin of these fish, she inquired very clearly, it is said that they are all sea fish, which were brought back by the carriage that transported oil residue to the capital, and probably set off on their "migration journey", the eyes are full of hope, although this place is the homeland, but the homeland does not support people, and can only go away from home, fortunately, there is still the government to manage the country, and there is also a dependence, and will not end up starving to death on the side of the road, so, the eyes, full of hope, the year before the people who went to Huguang, this year has been back with a letter, Said that they lived very well over there, every family divided the field, but also started a house, where the field is much better than the field in Shaanxi, whatever you plant, there is an excellent harvest, in the past in Shaanxi planting dozens of acres of land is not necessarily able to fill the stomach, planting a few acres of land over there, has been able to fill the stomach, but the side is said to be extremely beautiful, so that the people who did not dare to go out regretted it, now it is said that there is no immigration to Huguang, but to the Great Ryukyu immigration, it is said that there is more abundant than Huguang, you can harvest three stubbles a year, The thought of the land that could be harvested three times a year filled the eyes of this old fù man with joy.

"Grandma, Niuniu knows." The little girl said seriously.

"Mother, is this year still the same as last year? Shall we go to the Ryukyus? The young mother asked, a little nervous.

"Daughter-in-law! Let's wait for your boss to come back, now the official has called the men, saying that they are assigned where to go this year, and they will know after a while. The old man woke up from his beautiful imagination and said kindly. After a while, several stout men approached from a little farther away.

As soon as "Mother" came over, one of the stout men immediately shouted.

"Alas, Hu'er," the old man replied with a smile at once.

"The ...... in charge," the young woman said.

"Mother, this year, the government said that there are four places to go, and the government is responsible for the end, you can go south, take the waterway all the way to Daliuqiu, where you go, you can get the fields, and the family can eat and drink without worrying: to the east, you can go to Beijing to work: or to fight outside the customs or farm: to the west, you can go out of the customs to the Woer Dusi, where there is a place where the imperial court has just been laid, and now it is also recruiting people to farm......"

The stout man immediately said...
