In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, on the first day of March in the first year of Ming Taishun, the secret negotiations between Qing and Zheng were held in Xixian County. 【*Yuu】

The representative of the Qing court was still Sukhatu, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zheng Fan's representative was changed to a member of the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of the Qing court's demand for reciprocity and Zheng Kezang's reluctance to let his alternate son-in-law be stigmatized as a traitor.

"Lord Tian, this official is ordered to mention yì to you." At the beginning of the meeting, Sukhhatu put forward a bill. "The two sides will withdraw their troops from Korea, and the situation of chaos within Korea and the coexistence of the two lords will be handled by the two sides of the country, and neither you nor I can interfere."

A few years ago, the Qing court had officially issued a policy of returning fire consumption to the public this year, but on the one hand, because most of the land changed hands, even if the implementation of fire consumption to the public could not fill the financial gap;

On the other hand, in order to increase the enthusiasm of local officials for the implementation of the policy of returning fire consumption to the public, the Qing court also had to follow the example of Zheng Fan to give officials at all levels a lump sum of money, so the benefits of implementing the policy of returning fire consumption to the public were not as high as the previous budget.

Under these circumstances, the Manchurian generals, led by Alantai, tried to reduce state expenditures by driving the Han army out of the flag.

However, for Kangxi, as the supreme ruler of the country, although there were "banner traitors" like Yue Shenglong, after the Manchus maintained their rule over China for more than 50 years, their foundation not only could not be said to be deep and did not need the help of traitors, but it was still too shallow for the relatively large Han population.

It was precisely in view of this situation that Kangxi not only could not drive out the Han army banner, which still had some loyalty, from the ranks of the banner bearers, but also used the way of raising the flag to carry some traitors who were determined to be slaves from the Han army flag into the Manchurian flags.

Based on the heavy economic pressure, Kangxi was forced to ignore the opposition of the majority of Hanchen, and immediately implemented the apportionment into the mu, trying to solve the financial crisis by converting silver into labor;

At the same time, Kangxi also had to stop most military operations and the construction of rivers and embankments in order to minimize expenditures.

However, Kangxi, who didn't know that Zheng Fan couldn't actually fight, could hardly count on Zheng Fan's unconditional cooperation, so he could only start from several aspects, and the motion proposed by Sukhhatu now was a signal of temptation. 【*Yuu】

"It's easy for me to withdraw my troops from North Korea."

Tian Xiangban chuckled.

"Your entry into Korea from Liaodong can be said to be a one-leg-cross, but if this vassal withdraws from Korea, how can this thousands of miles of ocean arrive day and night. When the time comes, if there is a loss, it will not be too late to regret it. ”

Tian Xiangban refused: "This proposal is very absurd and cannot be accepted by this domain. ”

"What Lord Tian said is very unreasonable."

Su Kehatu also sneered when he saw that the other party was so tough.

"Who doesn't know that you have forced King Li of the Southern Dynasty to cede Jeju, and except for one of your troops fortified in Haizhou, the rest have already returned to Jeju.

Sukhhatu paused.

"Lord Tian, could it be that you don't have the intention of making peace, and you still want to fight."

"It's not whether the domain wants to fight, it's because you have bad intentions and intend to plot the vassal's stronghold in Haizhou."

Tian Xiangban was not at all afraid of the threat of war implied by the other side, in fact, in view of the fact that the Zheng army had plundered Henan for thousands of miles, the Qing army, which was unable to raise food and wages on the spot, had been forced to withdraw from Chenzhou, Ruzhou, Runing and other two prefectures and one prefecture, as well as most of the Yingzhou capital.

The people in the counties and counties that had not yet been captured by the Zheng army also retreated north for the Qing army, and as a result, the Qing court could not provide the same survival supplies as the wintering materials provided by Zheng Fan, causing a considerable number of innocent people to freeze to death in the bitter cold of Sanjiu.

The Qing army then set up a large battalion in Xuzhou to protect Zhengzhou, Henan, Shaanzhou and the communication channel with Shanxi, and the Qing army's Xuzhou battalion was also ordered to move its troops to Bozhou, the capital of Yingzhou.

In this way, a chain of defense lines was formed composed of Xuzhou Daying, Bozhou Daying, Kaifeng Henan Governor, Suzhou Huaibei Governor, and Suqian Huaibei Huaibei Governor.

But even the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing, who were slightly familiar with military affairs, could see that the newly established defense line of the Qing court was a garrison line to prevent the Zheng army's attack, not a line to take the initiative to attack, let alone the negotiating sides with a huge support group.

Since the actual situation on the battlefield is like this, how can Tian Xiangban, who has been in a good time, be afraid of the other party's blackmail.

"Lord Sukhatu, the abacus is not fought like this, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can get it if you figure it out."

Tian Xiangban looked at the other party with a pale face with a smile.

"Su Qin and Zhang Yi are figures in the pre-Qin era, and their success does not mean that Your Excellency can do the same now."

Su Kehatu looked a little annoyed, he didn't expect this Tian Xiangban's words to be so sharp, and he actually compared himself to an old antique that eats ancient things, which can't help but make him regret it a little, you must know that the previous Lord Ouyang was certainly a little arrogant, but compared to this one, he can be regarded as a gentleman of etiquette.

It's a pity that there is nowhere to buy the regret medicine, Su Kehatu endured the other party's ridicule, and just responded quietly: "Lord Tian may have misunderstood the meaning of this official, this official does not want to seek your stronghold in Haizhou, and even this official thinks that in the current situation where the two sides are isolated from the north and the south and the trade routes are blocked, Haizhou can become the best place for the two sides to exchange markets." ”

"Mutual market?" Tian Xiangban's expression suddenly became solemn. "What does Master Su mean by TongguΓ² Haizhou Mutual Market?"

"That's right."

Sukhhatu saw the other party's reaction, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Now the two sides are just negotiating peace, if the country is open to mutual markets at this time, there will be some obstacles to each other, Haizhou is not in the country, and I am close to the land of Longxing, so that outsiders do not know, and you think about it by sea, you will not be easy to leak the rumors, but you and I are still competing in North Korea, the road is not quiet, but this trade route is difficult to maintain."

"We have Jiangnan silk, tea, lacquerware and Taixi imported goods, and you have furs, horses, ginseng, and wood, and it is also beneficial for us to communicate with each other." Tian Xiangban touched the short beard on his chin. "However, the matter is very serious, and this official has to report to the king for his decision, and it is impossible to reply to you now."

"It's nature

Su Kehatu's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Tian Xiangban: "Master Su, listen to what the official has to say." ”

Su Kehatu had no choice but to stop and look at Tian Xiangban, only to hear Tian Xiangban say: "In the opinion of this official, the mutual market may be successful, but I am afraid that the withdrawal of troops from North Korea will take a lot of time, and it is impossible for this domain to abandon Haizhou in one place, please forgive Master Su." ”

Su Kehatu was immediately angry when he heard this, but Kangxi asked him to hold back Zheng Jun's footsteps, so the peace talks must not break down, it was this order that tied his hands and feet that made him extremely discouraged, but for the sake of the interests of the Qing court, he had to fight on the basis of reason.

"Lord Tian, since it is impossible to withdraw completely, this official may think that I can reduce the garrison in North Korea at the same time."

Sukhhatu proposed a new yΓ¬: "This official mentions that our dynasty has 2,000 troops in Pyongyang, and 1,000 troops in Anju and Uiju; You may also keep 5,000 troops and horses in Haiju, Seoul and other parts of Korea; In addition, both sides are not allowed to send troops to participate in the Korean civil war. I don't know if Lord Tian can be satisfied. ”

Since it is impossible for the two sides to send observers to monitor each other's troops, even if the two sides finally reach an agreement on this, there is no way to control it.

However, the supply line of the Zheng army in the DPRK was obviously much longer than that of the Qing army, and once the war resumed, as long as the Qing court was willing to suppress Mount Tai, the Zheng army had no other way but to increase the number of troops in the same way, but in this case, the Zheng army would really fall into the mud.

Similarly, if you don't fight, it would be a waste to leave too many soldiers in North Korea.

From this point of view, once the Tian Xiang Office forwards the construction of Sukhhatu, it may really be possible.

Eating Sukehatu's trick, Tian Xiangban is obviously at a disadvantage, fortunately, Tian someone loses and does not lose the battle, for Sukehatu's ridicule, he quietly shot back: "This official is only a five-grade small official, it doesn't matter if you are not satisfied, the important thing is that King Xia feels satisfied when he knows it, and your Kangxi must also be satisfied." ”

Sukhhatu's face became ugly for a moment, but Tian Xiangban didn't give the other party a chance, and instead proposed a plan of his own.

"Master Su, although the matter of the Yue family's exchange of Mongolian princes is still in the process of being handled, the Yue family has only changed a few princes Taiji, and the others, do you want to change them back."

Su Kehatu narrowed his eyes and replied: "Change, of course you have to change, but how to change the method, what does Lord Tian have to say." ”

"Don't worry, this clan knows that you don't have any money, so I won't mention it."

Tian Xiangban's words were also a temptation, but Su Kehatu just made a listening appearance, but did not let Tian Xiangban immediately find out the truth, so Tian Xiangban had to continue.

"The lord of this domain, Xia Wang Chitose, has a concubine, who is the widow of Geng Jingzhong, and I heard that the remnants of the three feudal clans are still suffering in Ningguta, Heilongjiang and other places, and they are quite sad, so the king wants to exchange them for the Mongolian prince."

"You have not rescued them all?"

Su Kehatu's sharp counterattack made the muscles on Tian Xiangban's face twitch, but he was also a person who became a jing, and immediately asked, "Are there bandits in Ningguta?" What does this have to do with the domain? Master Su didn't understand what he said. ”

Tian Xiangban pretended to be stupid, and Su Kehatu couldn't jump up and curse, so he forcibly suppressed his feelings and said: "It's okay if Lord Tian doesn't admit it, anyway, it's just some clowns who jump off the beam, I have already mobilized the army, and I think the end is not far away." ”

These words made Tian Xiangban a little vigilant, but Su Kehatu, who didn't know that he had said something wrong, continued: "In exchange for the Mongolian sect king Taiji with a conspiracy to rebel against the party, this deal may not be a loss, so I don't know what Lord Tian is going to do." ”

"How to change? Simple. Tian Xiangban smiled and raised the kitchen knife. How about a Mongol prince Taiji for a thousand sons of the three clansmen? ”

"A thousand?" Sukhhatu fainted out of breath. "Lord Tian, you are too big a lion."

"More than a thousand? Okay, let me ask for a price, Master Su, you can also pay back the money on the spot
