Chapter 759: Cutting the City
Qu Yan was stunned: "I don't have that idea, that's ......"
You obviously mean to help us exterminate Zhanhuai.
"We didn't say that we had to go to Henan, if we wanted to exterminate Zhanhuai, we could also do it in Shaanxi." Xie Sicheng smiled.
"Shaanxi?" Qu Yan wanted to say, if it is Shaanxi, then do you still need your help? But after thinking about it, even in Shaanxi, if the Tatars do not send troops, this is really not good.
Compared with Henan, Shaanxi is the base camp of Zhanhuai, for so many years, Zhanhuai has run Shaanxi like an iron bucket, otherwise how could it not be until the day he raised the army that the imperial court did not get the news.
"Yes, it's Shaanxi, this is not only a help, but also the beginning of peaceful coexistence between our two sides, so this is cooperation! Zhanhuai captured Dorha Khan, this is the humiliation of the Tatars, over the years Zhanhuai has killed countless Taras, the Tartars mentioned Zhanhuai all changed, if we retreat this time, then it is undoubtedly to make Zhanhuai more arrogant, Shaanxi, Yu, and Gan are all his, this is a threat to the Tartars, and this is a sharp blade for you, so why can't we cooperate and get rid of Zhanhuai together? And what the Tartars want, is nothing more than these three places, only these three places to the Tartars, in order to completely avoid the border border years of war, and return the people of the two places to peace and health, this is a major event in the future! ”
Qu Yan and Zhong Shiji looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard someone say this kind of thing righteously, not to mention that this was still Han.
"But Zhanhuai is not in Shaanxi now, he and his soldiers and horses are in Henan, he will not go back immediately, even if you conquer Shaanxi, you can't move the root of Zhanhuai, and it will not help my dynasty."
"Really? There is really very little information about your country, no wonder you are not prepared at all to raise troops. ”
Qu Yan's old face was slightly red, and he didn't speak, when there was Jinyiwei in the past, it was not difficult to get this kind of information, but later the emperor disbanded Jinyiwei and arrested He Gang and Jinyiwei and others, not to mention the intelligence from Shaanxi, that is, which high-ranking official in the capital wanted to rebel and did not rush into the Forbidden City, I am afraid that the emperor would not know.
Xie Sicheng glanced over his eyes and saw Qu Yan's face floating like four seasons, he smiled slightly, and said lightly: "As far as I know, Zhanhuai's mother is in Xi'an, and his daughter is also there!" That Duchess Zhong of Fujian is not an ordinary female dependent, she is the biological mother of Zhan Chen and Zhan Huai, if she has three long and two short, what do the two adults think? ”
What will happen? The world is in chaos, no, the world is already in chaos, that is, the world is even more chaotic.
"Are you going to kidnap Madame Zhong and Zhanhuai's daughter?" Qu Yan's voice was dry, and he felt his throat tight. Although he knew that those who did great things were not informal, he still felt ashamed when he heard that the Tartars were going to attack women and children.
Xie Sicheng smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze, but in the eyes of Qu Yan and Zhong Shiji, his whole body was cold.
Xie Sicheng said: "Okay, I know that your dynasty has suffered from war and chaos and the treasury is empty, so let's take a step, and the compensation of your dynasty does not have to be paid at once." ”
Qu Yan and Zhong Shiji were overjoyed, and finally gave in, this compensation is currently the most difficult, and the secret decree given by the emperor also emphasized this matter, so Qu Yan immediately said: "That is the case, then I will also take a step, I am willing to use the princess and relatives, to show sincerity, but can the compensation of 500,000 taels of silver be changed to 300,000 taels, and I will send a total of 100 craftsmen from all walks of life to go to Tartary with the princess." ”
Xie Sicheng thought for a while and said, "No." ”
"300,000 taels, I wish ......."
Before Qu Yan could finish speaking, Xie Sicheng interrupted him: "300,000 taels is not impossible, but your dynasty wants to find me someone!" ”
"Looking for someone? Who? Qu Yan was stunned, who can be worth 100,000 taels?
"The former princess of Qing, the daughter of Huo Jiang, the former head of the Hanlin Academy. If the Gui Dynasty can find this woman within two years and send the woman to Tatara safely, then the Gui Dynasty will pay 300,000 taels, if you can't find it, sorry, 500,000 taels is a lot. ”
Qu Yan sent the results of the negotiation again to the capital overnight, and this time Emperor Minghe's will came quickly, and there were only three words: I was approved.
Seeing these three words, Qu Yan hesitated, he walked around the room a few times, and Zhong Shiji asked nervously, "Lord Shoufu, how is this good?" ”
Qu Yan frowned: "What does Lord Zhong want to say?" ”
Zhong Shiji sighed: "This kind of contract is also the first case in this dynasty, and it will be passed on to future generations in the future, and you and I will ........"
What he didn't say was that you and I were afraid that we would have to bear the infamy of the ages.
Compensation, switching, and land cutting, all of which can make them famous in history, of course, infamy.
Qu Yan was distraught, he didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily, he thought that the emperor would let them continue to negotiate, at least after the Tatars demanded the capture of Xi'an, Yulin and Ganzhou, these three cities would be ceded to them, this is up for debate.
But he never expected that the emperor would approve it.
Qu Yan smiled bitterly: "There is an old saying that it is good to sell Yetian, don't feel distressed, hehe." ”
Emperor Minghe is not distressed, that is because even if these places are not given to the Tartars, they are no longer his, rather than that, it is better to give the Tartars, for Emperor Minghe, he would rather use these cities in exchange for his stable days on the dragon chair, if by the way, he can also use the Tartars to destroy Zhanhuai, it is a multi-pronged victory.
Therefore, despite the opposition of some people in the court, Emperor Ming He still insisted.
Half a month later, Qu Yan and Zhong Shiji returned to Beijing, and Jiahai had to abide by the contract and fully withdraw before the first day of February.
According to the agreement between the two parties, this contract is divided into two parts, the contract and the supplementary contract, and the supplementary contract is kept secret and only a few people know about it.
This includes the cooperation between the imperial court and the Tartars to exterminate Zhanhuai together, and the recovery of Huo Sijin's part of the 200,000 taels of indemnity.
Although these things were kept secret, Qu Yan and Zhong Shiji had not yet returned to the capital, and Geng Xiaogui sent the information to Zhanhuai.
Zhan Huai was so angry that Huo Roufeng took a look and immediately scolded.
The emperor of the Shen family is really not as good as the generation, the previous emperor liked to be a monk, but he has not stopped letting the border pass fight against the Tartars over the years, and when he came to Emperor Minghe, he wanted to cooperate with the Tartars, and did not hesitate to cut the city and give up the land, and lose money to marry the princess.
Scolding and scolding, Huo Roufeng suddenly remembered something, she said to Zhanhuai: "Last time we asked Uncle Gui, Uncle Gui said that Mrs. Gao killed the Tartar soldiers to save the little princess, we all thought that it was actually the Tartars who wanted to take the opportunity to kidnap people, but I remembered that it was an officer and soldier, and then I thought it was a mistake when I was young, but now it seems that Uncle Gui did not say wrong, I am not wrong, history is repeating itself." ”
