Chapter 532: How to distinguish between the Ming and the Jurchens?
Fushun, Houjin.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty's palace, the Houjin Palace looks like a grass platform team, and perhaps the only thing that does not fall is the height of the dome.
The hall supported by the red lacquered giant wood is ten meters high, the carved beams and painted buildings, the eaves and arches are impossible, and all the decorations reveal a kind of roughness and simplicity.
To put it another way, of course...... It's so rough!
With the current national strength of Houjin, the poor jingle sounded, and recently became a little richer because Wang Xuan purchased a large number of mountain goods, it is good to be able to make such a big hall, it is still built by captured Han slaves, if you count on them these Jurchens...... Actually, the tree house is not bad, at least it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
In contrast, this palace is a bit of a problem, ten meters high, and no windows, not only cool in summer, but also a sense of gloomy compassion, in winter, once the time of the court exceeds an hour, there is a stiff body carried out by the guards, basking in the sun There is still a possibility of saving.
In order to show his sincerity, Nurhachi sat on the gilded dragon chair wrapped in a thick cotton robe, put down the letter in his hand, and looked thoughtfully at the messenger from the Ming Dynasty below, "So, you are not here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"After returning to His Majesty Jin, of course the foreign minister is here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, this is the meaning of 'imperial court'!" The messenger hunched his waist and spoke in a very respectful tone.
"Hehehe~" Nurhachi's moon-like face showed an inexplicable smile, and he shook the letter in his hand, "Let's not talk about whether what is written here is true, even if it is, will your emperor agree?" ”
"Of course, Your Majesty will agree, there is a small disturbance in the country, and friendly countries are willing to lend a helping hand, which is the embodiment of Your Majesty's benevolence, and Your Majesty is too late to be happy, but Your Majesty is young after all, and cannot handle government affairs independently, so the cabinet is fully responsible." The righteous words of the messenger almost believed Nurhachi.
Groaning for a while, Nurhachi was noncommittal, he himself was very willing to deal with Wang Xuan, it was because of this surname Wang, the foreign wars launched in the past two years have been repeatedly frustrated, not to mention anything else, the Jurchens' desire to fight alone has been greatly reduced compared to before.
But if you send troops to Beijing...... He shook his head, this is absolutely impossible, the hearts of those literati in the Ming Dynasty are black, for these people, he doesn't believe in a single punctuation, he is afraid that as soon as his army enters the customs, he will immediately sell it for a good price.
The Han people have a good saying, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, he doesn't believe that they are also Han people, these guys will really work with foreign people to deal with their own people, and they are not competing for the throne, there is no reason to do this at all!
Of course, he won't refuse directly, no matter if he's true or not, even if it's really fishing, he has to sprinkle some bait down, anyway, he just recognizes a point, he doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, how much bait eats, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the customs!
"It's not impossible to consider this matter, this Wang Xuan, I also know, is a peerless hero." Nurha's bare eyebrows were raised, and he continued: "It's just that after all, my Houjin can't be compared with your Daming, the weather has been freezing in the past two years, and the clansmen have suffered heavy losses, even if they want to send troops, they can't do anything, not to mention the lack of food and clothing, and even the lack of weapons and armor is serious, how can I have the ability to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Wang Xuan." ”
As soon as these words came out, the envoy understood the meaning of the old man on the dragon chair, without him, he just wanted benefits, and the officials of the court and the central government had explained this matter before leaving.
Although he said that the clouds and mountains were foggy, he understood that the benefits could be given, he didn't have to care too much, he should fund outsiders, and he definitely couldn't leave it to Wang Xuan, he couldn't do anything, he would rather empty the inventory of the imperial court's military department, and he didn't hesitate to do it, in their words, this is called 'driving the tiger and devouring the wolf', both sides are not good things, and they are all dead.
Moreover, the barbarians, but the itch of scabies, there is nothing to be afraid of, only Wang Xuan is the enemy, and it is necessary to distinguish the priorities.
"Your Majesty has been thinking a lot about this matter, I am the Heavenly Empire, and naturally I will not let my friends suffer, 2,000 sets of weapons and armor, 100,000 stones of grain, and 10,000 horses of cloth!" The messenger said without hesitation.
Nurhachi immediately laughed, "Daming is indeed worthy of being the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but, isn't this a little too little, two thousand sets of armor can only equip two thousand people, even if it is on the battle array, I am afraid that the effect is not great." ”
"This ......" the messenger looked embarrassed, and remained silent and did not speak.
For a while, there was some coldness in the hall, and Nurhachi looked at the envoy inexplicably, shouldn't you say something at this time? Otherwise, how can everyone bargain?
A white-faced guy who was waiting next to Nurhachi, who couldn't see men and women, suddenly frowned, as if he understood something, and whispered in Nurhachi's ear.
Nurhachi looked at the people around him with an incredulous expression, and then turned his head to look at the messenger who bowed his head and was silent, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart...... He said to the envoy in disbelief: "If you can take out every 1,000 sets of armor and weapons, I will give you 5,000 taels of silver, what does the envoy think?" ”
"Twenty thousand!" A categorical voice echoed in the hall, "Each set of equipment sold by Wang Xuan is one hundred taels of silver, although our Daming's standard equipment is not as good, but fifty taels of silver is also worth it, so the price of each set is twenty taels, which is already the best price." ”
"The foreign ministers are also responsible for my Ming craftsmen, the treasury, and the princes of the DPRK and the central government, how can state-owned assets be sold cheaply!" These words are righteous words, and the sound shakes the hall.
Looking at the eunuchs around him, Nurhachi didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, and was actually said right by the old dog beside him, these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have not forgotten corruption at this time, and they can still say that corruption is so high-sounding, such people can occupy the Central Plains flower world, how unfair the world is!
If one day he Jurchen takes over the world, he will definitely kill all these hypocritical guys.
"Since we let us help you fight that Wang Xuan, this weapon and armor should be given to us as a reward, why do you still collect money, I think you Da Ming has no sincerity at all, and you dare to tease us!" Mang Gurtai stared at the big eyes of the bronze bell, and shouted angrily at the messenger, as if he was going to go up and eat the other party in the next second.
The messenger was also frightened by this voice, and looked at Mang Gurtai tremblingly, but when he thought of the white silver, he gritted his teeth and did not speak, and kept muttering in his heart, the two countries will not fight each other, these people are bluffing at most, not afraid, not afraid!
Nurhachi glanced around at everyone present, most of them looked at the envoy angrily, obviously believing this statement, but Huang Taiji and Dolgon were thoughtful.
looked at Mang Gurtai, Amin and a group of other people with appreciation, this is a good man, he will never play these duplicitous tricks, and the throne should really be passed to - Huang Taiji!
If it is replaced by the group of SBs of Mang Gurtai, they will still be helping to count the money after being sold!
"Mang Gurtai, shut up!" Nurhachi's deep voice came, "Huang Taiji, you go talk to him." ”
"Oh, Huang Ama, the retainers obey the order." Huang Taiji didn't look at the reckless Gurtai who looked at him with a blue face after being reprimanded just now, and he was too lazy to take care of this thing with developed limbs and a simple mind, "The envoy's words are wrong, after all, it was you Daming who invited me to send troops with a lot of gold, and this weapon and armor are still sold at this price, so if it spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of Daming will not be good, how to show the demeanor of the Heavenly Empire!" ”
Huang Taiji's meaning in and out of his words is to say, why do you ask for such a high price, Lao Tzu will pass it on to you, you will feel good, can you still share so much money at that time?
When the envoy heard this, his momentum fell, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "At least 18!" ”
"Up to 10!"
"17, absolutely nothing less!"
"Impossible, 11, not one or two!"
A group of people watched in amazement as the two of them stood in the center of the main hall arguing like ordinary people in the market, and they couldn't imagine at all, one was one of the five great Baylors, and the other was the envoy of the dignified Heavenly Empire.
"16, I won't talk to you if it's less!" The envoy gritted his teeth, and his green tendons were exposed, "This is a capital enemy, and he will be razed by the three clans and infamous through the ages!" ”
"......" Nurhachi.
"......" Huang Taiji
Feelings, how do you know that this is a capital enemy?
This is going to be razed by the three tribes?
“10、13!” Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed, and he said confidently.
"This ...... Are you sure? The messenger pondered for a moment, clearly moved.
"I, Huang Taiji, never need to speak!"
"Good!"
Watching the envoy retreat, the eyes of a group of people focused on Huang Taiji, Nurhachi asked, "What does the last sentence mean?" ”
Huang Taiji's expression was straight, and he didn't have the kind of philistine appearance just now, "Back to Huang Ama, Erchen said to the messenger that the official is free of charge, and the rumor released to the outside world is ten taels of silver to buy, in fact, each set is thirteen taels for that person, he not only took three taels privately, but he also has points for the money behind, so the price is easy to say." ”
A group of 'barbarians' have also gained insight this time!
Corruption is also divided into realms, and this envoy has reached the second realm, not only to embezzle state-owned assets, but also to be greedy again for the money that has been embezzled, which is called the legendary greed on top of greed.
How to distinguish between the Ming and Jurchens?
Jurchen: Don't move, I'll rob you first!
Da Mingren: I hate you robbers the most, you don't have any technical content at all!
……
After receiving the letter sent by Wang Xuan from the cabinet, time passed quickly, and during this time, Fang Congzhe's group of people made full preparations, and sent out a large group of messengers and messengers.
The envoy Jurchen saw Nurhachi, and the envoy Tatar saw Lin Dan Khan, and they didn't even let go of Goryeo, in Gao Panlong's words, there are dates and no dates to hit the three poles, in case the Goryeo people have a convulsion in their brains!
Moreover, Wang Xuan is about to destroy the entire Wa Kingdom, so the Goryeo people are not afraid?
