Chapter 702: The Battle of the Yangtze River: There is an armistice, but there are no peace talks

"The three generals of Jiangnan retreated to Xuzhou, only Li Fu was still scraping the ground in Jiangnan, and Yongzheng had lost confidence in Jiangnan"

"The green camps of Zhili, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong are converging in Anhui, but a few places are teaching bandits to make trouble, and these soldiers can only turn back to suppress the bandits."

"Even if he is transferred to Manchuria, it will take time, and the minister thinks that this news is credible, and Yongzheng does have the heart to make peace."

"He is in a hurry to stop fighting, and the Xishan camp in Jiangxi is his lifeblood."

Huangpu, in the political hall south of Yaotan, there was a lot of noise, and the faces of the cabinet and officials of various ministries were red, and they were all discussing a handwritten letter, which was soaked in sweat and yellowed.

Yongzheng seeks peace! The posture is still so low, even the southern brothers and the north have spoken, for many officials who have Confucian concepts in their minds for a day, this is the most valuable victory.

The second assistant Wu Yaluo couldn't get used to seeing the crowd's expression, and shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's so fun about this face?" When we get to the city of Beijing, it is just a matter of one sentence for him to call his father and grandpa. At present, the general trend is in our hands, and the only thing we are worried about is those bandits in the north, what is the White Lotus Maitreya, if they become bigger, we will have to spend a lot of effort to clean it up in the future. ”

Tang Youzeng nodded and concluded: "The subsection can still be discussed, but peace negotiation is inevitable. Yongzheng is earnest, not only let Jiangnan, Shaanxi and Gansu talk, do we release goodwill first, suspend the troops, and allow the camp of Xishan to retreat north? ”

The officials of the three provinces nodded at the same time, and Li Xianxin said It's okay, I didn't let you Wenchen, whose brains are still soaked in benevolence, righteousness and morality, take charge of foreign affairs and military affairs, so I know that you are this virtuous ...... "Otherwise!" ”

"No!"

"No way!"

Before he could speak, the second assistant Fan Jin, the left governor of the Privy Council, Su Wencai, Tang Sunhao, who also had the title of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Xiao Xie, the governor of the General Affairs Hall, refuted in unison.

"Tian Wenjing and Xishan Daying have a lot of blood debts, if they don't get rid of them, how can they explain to the country?"

"Jiangnan and Shaanxi and Gansu, even if Yongzheng doesn't let it, it won't take much effort for us to reach out and take it, how can we allow him to be used as a bargaining chip?"

"He Yongzheng said to fight and stop, who did he think he was?"

The two sides quarreled, and the reasons on the side of the political hall were also very good, and they were not blindly pedantic.

"Open trade, free movement, that's what we want most!" The first release of kindness also contributed to this matter, which is not something that can be fought just by fighting. ”

"Yes, if this matter is successful, not only will the people of a country benefit, but it will also be able to slowly figure it out in the north like the regulation of the south of the Yangtze River, and it will take back the Central Plains and even the land of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the future, and it will take a lot less effort."

The Privy Council, the Hanlin Academy, and the General Office questioned Yongzheng's intentions, and trade was to move the foundation of Manchu governance, so would Yongzheng be so stupid?

However, the political hall believes that compared with the Manchurian country, this is the future trouble, and the current problem is the Xishan camp, as well as the momentum of the collapse in the north, Yongzheng is willing to swallow the future trouble in order to solve the current problem.

Among the conditions listed by Yongzheng, there are indeed many good things that are difficult to obtain militarily, and the two sides quarreled endlessly over this.

Li Shi coughed, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"You've all made a mistake......"

Li Xi had been sorting out his thoughts just now, and now he had the results.

"You regard the Manchus as a whole, and treat Yongzheng and the Manchus as equals, is this really the case? If this is the case, why did Hubei collapse? Why did Gangnam collapse? Yongzheng can no longer control the situation! It's like this piece of paper......"

Li Shi lifted the old Song Dynasty and ran wildly for ten days, and passed it from Beijing to Huangpu's handwriting.

"I don't believe this is Yongzheng's own meaning, the conditions listed above, not only let reading into the heart, but also let the business and industry be tempted, but also let a people feel that they have face, all of them point to my Yinghua country into the heart of the foundation, he Yongzheng really understands my Yinghua so much, before he dared to invade the south? Still delusional to grab more chips and force Yu Zhen? ..., Li Xi smiled and shook his head: "I think this is not Yongzheng's original intention, he is an extremely strong entry." Even if he is willing to give up land and open up trade, he doesn't want to recognize any southern brother and northern brother! It's a delaying tactic, a false promise, and he doesn't want to! This must be Ru Xi's own assertion, she knows my Yinghua roots very well, and she knows what conditions can make Yinghua a country and make me tempted. ”

The crowd was stunned, is there still this possibility?

That's right, this handwritten book came from Rushina. And everyone has always thought that Ru Xi is just a channel for Yongzheng and the two emperors of the Holy Dao to communicate, and it is impossible to have their own opinions. But how could they have such a deep understanding of Ru Xi like Li Xi.

Fan Jin understood something, and he also had more speculations, "Your Majesty said this, which made the minister think of Nian Qianyao. It seems that his retreat north to Xuzhou is not Yongzheng's arrangement. His staff Zuo Weisheng went to Shandong, presumably Nian Qianyao's next step was to enter Shandong in the name of suppressing bandits and become his own party. ”

Su Wencai sighed: "When he is young, he will be in Huaizuo Mountain, resisting my Yinghua in the south, and suppressing the bandits in the north, Yongzheng will not dare to move him at will!" Good calculation! ”

Gu Xiyi also thought thoughtfully: "Not only that, Nian Qianyao also protected Jiangnan Bank and didn't let Li Fu take away the silver, this matter was favored in both the north and the south." Longmen also came to the news, he talked to a number of rice companies, and also in Hangzhou and Zhenjiang two conferences to help the horse, I think he has a mind to control Caoyun. ”

Since the Yinghua occupied Longmen, the Manchu court's control over Jiangnan has become weaker and weaker, in the past, Caoyun was a direct collection of rice and grain, but now it has gradually changed to levy silver, and then in Jiangnan apportionment of "official purchase of rice and grain", at a low price of four or five dollars a stone, to buy grain to the north. The money used to buy grain was also distributed to the local gold bureaus, and after a big circle, it was basically able to keep the fortune, and the fortune changed from a compulsory tax to a half-official and half-commercial business.

Since the Cao Yun was more commercial, implicating hundreds of thousands of livelihoods, the Qing court was not too worried about the Yinghua forcibly cutting off the Cao Yun. And this huge business is still scattered in the hands of the Cao Gang, the government and the grain industry, if Nian Qianyao can hold it, it is equivalent to holding the throat of the Qing court.

This is Cao Cao...... In other words, he wants to be Cao Cao.

The first reaction of the crowd was like this, and Cao Cao came out, of course, it was already a big mess, and what was discussed just now suddenly lost the basis, and the hall was suddenly dumbfounded.

Li Shi disagreed: "Nian Qianyao...... It's just a clown jumping off the beam, thinking that this is still the old days, and can accommodate the heroes? He can't be Cao Cao, I think he wants to be Yuan Datou more ......"

Who is Yuan Datou?

Everyone was suspicious, and Li Xian, who slipped his mouth, hurriedly changed the topic: "Yongzheng is really sincere, he should be placed in the open, and he wants to stop hundreds of thousands of troops with a piece of paper, and he is a country where we are all children." ”

The emperor made the final decision, and everyone had nothing to say.

But this piece of paper is covered with Yongzheng's seal, and it comes from the Forbidden City, and there must be a response.

Li Shi smacked his lips: "Send your face to the door, don't hit the ...... unpleasantly"

In the side hall of the middle gate of the Boundless Palace, dozens of editors-in-chief of various newspapers gathered together, all excited. The Menxia Provincial News Department urgently summoned them, saying that the emperor had something to spread widely, and their newspaper would deliver the message, which was the first time since the founding of the country, and their newspaper had really become the so-called "little imperial history" of the people, and it had become an official channel for the upper and lower information to be sent down and uploaded.

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the tenth year of the Holy Dao, the first press conference in the history of China was held, and the purpose was to ...... Slap in the face, slap Yongzheng in the face.

Lao Song, who was almost exhausted, also attended as a representative of "Zhongliu", and when Yang Shi, the secretary of the inner court, returned the handwritten letter to him, he was still stunned and incredulous.

"Zhongliu can keep this handwritten letter, but the news cannot be passed on by you alone, Your Majesty wants all newspapers to explain this matter." ..., Li Xi did not attend the press conference, he was busy urgently discussing countermeasures with the Privy Council, Nian Qianyao jumped out, which will have a certain impact on the situation between the north and the south, and the deployment of Jiangnan must be adjusted.

Yang Shi cleared his throat, dressed properly, first introduced the news of Yongzheng's willingness to make peace through "informal channels", and then read the emperor's edict to dozens of newspaper editors-in-chief.

"Your Majesty has said that in order to make a living, the war can be slowed down or calmed, but I, Yinghua, is in the middle of China, and it is impossible to make peace with the Tartars! Therefore...... There is an armistice, no peace talks! No matter how many conditions are put forward by the Tatars, they are all based on my Huaxia, and it is impossible to admit it! When and where the war is wonted, it is all about the interests of our China, and it is not allowed to be taken prisoner. ”

"If the Tartars really have the heart to stop fighting, they should order the officers and soldiers on the front line to abandon their weapons and surrender immediately, and the local governments should also immediately send out their officials to ask for surrender. The Tatar chieftains of Beijing City should also lead the clan in, take Jing out of the city, and wait for my Huaxia judgment with sincerity and obedience! ”

Yang Shi's words caused an uproar in the hall, okay! Good...... It's so relieving!

Within a few days, the "Eighteen Articles of Yongzheng Seeking Peace" was published in various newspapers, and it was widely spread to the British and Chinese countries. The country was jubilant, and the Tartar Emperor sued for peace! is still so servile, the southern brother and the north have said this.

The vast majority of the country feel extremely high-spirited, when Yinghua founded the country, everyone still has a faint self-awareness of anti-thief, although the country is thriving, but this psychology is still difficult to eliminate. Yinghua is the Zhengshuo of China, and the people of Yinghua are the people of China.

Now it's okay, the Tartar Emperor opened his mouth in a low voice, and recognized Yinghua as a brother, our Yinghua has at least restored the status of the former Song Dynasty, it's really happy!

This is not over, the posture of the Tartar Emperor has been placed so low, but our White Spoon Emperor has ignored it at all. There is a truce, there is no peace talks, it is well said, you can stop for a while when you are tired, but you will never negotiate peace with your Tartars! Talking about peace means that we recognize that your Tartars have stolen and occupied my China, and when the time comes, we will restore my China and the land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and we will have no righteous reputation.

Of course, the people didn't have the time to think about the previous "Hushu Peace Treaty" at this time, anyway, the main body of the peace treaty was also talking about the lease agreement. I didn't think that "there will be an armistice, but there will be no peace talks" is just a difference in name and no difference in substance. I didn't even think about their White Spoon Emperor, and the court was actually very undisciplined. In order to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, he was bent on opposing the Manchus and Qing Dynasty, but now in order to slap Yongzheng's face, his tone has changed, and he is full of Tatars...... Even if you think about it, what does it matter? In this era, there was no discipline in foreign affairs, let alone a regime that had endless responsibilities for the Manchu Dynasty.

A country is excited, and in the backyard of Wuya Palace, Li Shi's mothers-in-law also laughed, and they were really happy to be able to bully Yongzheng like this.

Among the concubines, Zhu Yuyou saw the situation the most, and she was a little worried: "Will Yongzheng be angry to death?" Kangxi was so angry that he had a stroke because of the defeat......"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about it, so he just cared about being happy.

Xiao shook his eyebrows and shook his head: "If you are strong-willed, how can you be angry to death so easily?" However, the heart is irritable, the lungs are hot, and there is something wrong with the body. ”

Li Shi also nodded, Yongzheng entered like this, killed his father and brother, usurped the throne and seized the country, how could his psychology be so fragile
