Chapter 409: The Treaty of Anshan (Part II)
"If you don't win Liaoyang without a fight, you can avoid unnecessary casualties among the sons and daughters of this commander; Second, you can buy enough time for the marshal, solve the worries of the marshal, if you can win Shenyang in one fell swoop, this battle, your master should be the first credit! Well, okay, Ben Shuai can agree to your request, but"
Turush's face just had a happy face, but when he saw Dayong's words, he said with a sad face: "It's just that Ben Shuai doesn't dare to guarantee that your master can meet my great tomorrow, because this matter is not something that Ben Shuai can advocate well, and it must be reported to the imperial court, and then the Son of Heaven will decide it himself." ”
"This is nature, this is nature, as long as the general can report the matter of my master's dedication to the city to help the Ming Dynasty, I will be grateful."
Turushh and Epilun are relieved, the Ming Kingdom is different from Dajin, the status of the military generals is not high, the real deciding are the civil ministers in the court, don't you see that the Ming army has always been the Wenchen supervising the army, since Yang Hao, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, Yuan Yingtai, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Qiu Hejia, Zhang Chun, etc., all of them are Wenchen overseers, and the generals can only obey their orders to fight in front of them, who dares to make their own decisions, even if they are as strong as Zu Dashou, they can't get out of this category, not to mention Shi Dayong, a small Jinzhou general. If he really dares to take it all in, the two of them will be suspicious. As for whether the Emperor of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom would disagree with Mang Gurtai to enter Beijing for an audience, they were not worried at all, because they couldn't think of any reason for the Ming Kingdom to disagree, after all, this was a matter that would be more beneficial to the Ming Kingdom.
"Without further ado, please also ask the general to take over Liaoyang as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." After receiving Dayong's promise, Turushh began to urge the Ming army to take over Liaoyang immediately, and the earlier the Ming army entered the city, the sooner he could rest assured.
Dayong was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, not in a hurry." ”
Dayong's attitude made Turushh stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Since the general has agreed to my master's request, my master is also sincere to dedicate the city to Ming, and the general wants to take Shenyang, why is he not in a hurry to enter Liaoyang?" ”
Epilon was also greatly puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Does the general have other conditions?" ”
Dayong glanced approvingly at Epilun: "You guessed right, since you entered this room, Ben Shuai has been listening to you, and now, it is Ben Shuai who wants to say a few words." ”
"I don't know what other conditions the general has for my master to agree?" Turush's heart skipped a beat, and he intuitively felt that Shi Dayong would come up with some unacceptable conditions next.
Epilon also became nervous, staring at Shi Dayong with blank eyes.
Dayong waved his hand, signaling that the two of them didn't have to be like this, he said: "Ben Shuai's request is not too much, there are many banner people in Liaoyang City, Ben Shuai is worried that none of them are willing to follow your master to Ming, so let these people stay in Liaoyang City, our army is not at ease." The so-called collapsed side does not allow others to sleep soundly, imagine leaving so many hidden dangers around, I am afraid that your master will not be able to sleep soundly. ”
"This"
Epilon and Turushh came back to their senses, Shi Dayong wanted them to clean the banner people of Liaoyang City! They have already surrendered as a last resort, so how can they ruthlessly attack those compatriots who no longer pose a threat in essence. The two stayed there and didn't speak.
Dayong was unhappy, and snorted angrily: "Go up the mountain and fall into the grass for Kou and pay attention to a vote, since your master has decided to return to Ming, those banner people who are unwilling to follow have become the enemies of my Daming, how can they be soft on the enemy?" Besides, they don't want to surrender today, and tomorrow they may become Hong Tai's soldiers and horses, and they don't want to fight them on the battlefield at that time. Since sooner or later they are enemies of life and death, why bother with the kindness of women, wouldn't it be better to kill them all? ”
If his father and son really slaughtered this Liaoyang City, I am afraid that there will be no prestige in the hearts of the people, let alone anyone to vote, without the support of the people, his father and son can really only be at the mercy of the Ming Dynasty, instead of obtaining the support of the Ming people to defeat the Empress Dowager Hong as planned in advance, and then compete with the Ming people to reproduce the glory of Dajin.
Thinking of this, Epilun gritted his teeth and said to Shi Dayong: "A Liaoyang city has already shown my Ama Guiming's heart, why should the general be strong, this request cannot be done by my father and son." ”
Turushh also said angrily: "After all, we are banner people, how can we bear to attack our compatriots, and besides, Liaoyang City is garrisoned with blue flags, and my master does not have many soldiers and horses, if you agree to the general's request, I am afraid that I will not be able to make a big change, please think twice!" ”
Hearing the two of them say this, Dayong remembered that Mang Gurtai had escaped from Shenyang in a hurry, how could there be many soldiers and horses around him, and it would be very good to be able to barely suppress the blue flag of Liaoyang City, so he was very considerate and said: "Yes, but this commander was negligent, since you can't do this, then let our army do it, and you don't have to interfere, presumably my subordinates are very willing to solve problems for you." Everyone will be a family in the future, and if you have anything bad to do in the future, just tell Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai is duty-bound. ”
Dayong's words made Turushh and Epilon look at each other, and both of them were speechless. After a moment, Turushh suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Please dispel the idea of slaughtering the city, the Liaoyang Banner people are brothers and sisters like us, how can we sit back and watch them be killed, and once the matter is reported, I am afraid that no one from the country will come to vote for my master!" If there is no support from the countrymen, how can my master contribute to the Ming Dynasty to crusade against Hong Tai's traitor! ”
"As long as the general gives up this idea, I, Amma, am willing to be the vanguard to seize Shenyang City for the general!" Epilun's language was threatening, as if Shi Dayong did not agree, and his father and son would not work hard for the Ming army to attack Shenyang City.
"So, you're not going to agree?" Dayong's face was a little strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
"I can't agree to this." Turushh and Epilon were firm, but neither dared to look at Dayong.
Dayong stared at the two of them again and again, confirming that there was no discussion about this matter, so he retreated and said: "Okay, for the sake of Liaoyang City, Ben Shuai will let those people live." You go back and make a list of the bannermen who are willing to return to the Ming with you, and also make a list of the bannermen who do not want to return to the Ming, and after the commander enters Liaoyang, the former must be led by your master to be the vanguard of our army to seize Shenyang, and the latter must all move out of the city. Ben Shuai said to you in place, Ben Shuai promised you not to kill, but Ben Shuai's subordinates are all the way out of character, if you are not happy, this Shuai is not sure that something will happen. At that time, both of you and I will not look good. ”
Hearing Dayong say this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, put their minds at ease, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the general will start this matter as soon as the two of us go back, and we will never make it difficult for the general." ”
"After you return to the Ming Dynasty, how to deal with the troops you lead, where to place them temporarily, how to arrange ordnance, grain and grass, how to divide the baggage in Liaoyang City, and how to coordinate with my army to attack Shenyang, these are all to be solved immediately, well, so let's discuss with my counselor Mr. Wu, and draw up a schedule for these big and small things, with these rules in black and white, Ben Shuai can rest assured, you can rest assured, and the cooperation will be like a tiger with wings."
"The general's advice is very good!"
Turushh and Epilon were very approving when they heard this proposal, and they were originally worried about how to deal with the Ming army after sacrificing Liaoyang City, but now Shi Dayong took the initiative to save them from asking about it.
Dayong did not talk to them again, and asked someone to lead the two to go down to eat some food first, and then Wu Heyin would talk to them in detail, and he himself would immediately lead the Ming army in Anshan to Liaoyang.
After Turushh and Epilon went down, Wu Heyin stepped forward and asked, "Dashuai really wants to contain Mang Gurtai?" ”
Dayong nodded and said: "It's rare to have such a big man come to vote for my Daming, and he presented Liaoyang City with both hands, if this handsome man doesn't laugh, I'm afraid everyone in the world will call me an idiot." ”
Wu Heyin said: "Mang Gurtai is known for his brutality, compared to Amin who slaughtered the city in Guannei, he did not give in, and when the villain was in Shenyang, he heard that this Mang Gurtai was comparable to a wolf. At the moment, he is just desperate to vote for my Daming, but once he has a foothold and a chance to breathe, I am afraid that his wolf ambition will not die, and after a long time, the villain is worried that he will become another disaster for my Daming, so the general can't help but guard against it. ”
"Then let this desperate wolf become an obedient lost dog." Dayong didn't care, "When I still need him now, after all, he is a golden man, and he is the owner of the blue flag, even if he doesn't do anything, reporting to the court is a great achievement for Ben Shuai, and he has to be a guide to attack Shenyang." Ben Shuai is very happy to see him Jurchen Tartar dog eat dog, hum, since ancient times, the most difficult thing is fratricide, I don't know how Hong Tai will feel when he hears his brother leading troops to attack his nest. ”
As soon as he heard that Dayong was going to attack Shenyang, Wu Heyin's heart finally fell after mentioning it for a long time, and he asked again after being excited: "When is the general going to report to the imperial court about Mang Gurtai's dedication of the city to the Ming Dynasty, and when is he going to send him to see the Son of Heaven?" ”
This question made Dayong very surprised, "Ben Shuai is now shameless to see the Son of Heaven, how can he send him to the front of the emperor, as for the report, how to mention it, is there really a matter of reckless Gurtai surrendering?" ”
"This" Wu Heyin was going to say that Shi Dayong had said it clearly before, and he had promised others, but now he turned his face, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he trembled violently, and he didn't dare to say it anyway.
"In that case, what does the general plan to do with Mang Gurtai after taking Shenyang?"
"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. When Shenyang was defeated, Ben Shuai invited his sons to eat dog meat. ”
Hearing this, Wu Heyin couldn't help but swallow it in his throat, a chill rose on his back, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his feet and hurry out of the house, but he had just been ordered to make a contract with Turush, so he still had to ask some things clearly, and he had to understand Shi Dayong's true intentions, so as not to mess up the errand and cause himself to be killed.
"The villain has never made a contract, and he asked the marshal to give one or two orders."
"No matter what conditions they put forward, they will agree." Dayong doesn't care.
"Huh?" Wu Heyin was taken aback, what kind of contract is this? couldn't help but persuade: "If we all agree to the other party's request, wouldn't this treaty be unfavorable to us, the villain knows that the marshal is a person who keeps his promises, if such a treaty is established, how will the marshal attack them in the future?" ”
"Trustworthiness also depends on people, and Ben Shuai is never ready to abide by this treaty, but just let them feel at ease for Ben Shuai's use. When the time comes, what if this bullshit treaty is torn up casually. Dayong's face was full of scoundrels, and there was no embarrassment at all.
"The villain understands, the villain will go and talk to them, and the villain will definitely meet their requirements."
Wu Heyin can be regarded as reacquainting himself with the murderous general in front of him, and with a new understanding, he will try his best to complete his mission. When he came to the door, he heard Dayong's voice from behind, "This treaty must be formal, not to make them suspicious, and let them happily think that Ben Shuai really wants to be an ally with them, and he really plans for them, so that they can willingly go to Shenyang for Ben Shuai." Oh, by the way, this treaty will be called the "Anshan Treaty" to the outside world. ”
