"What? Let's beg to the thief? Hong Lao Pifu, what do you mean, if you don't tell a reason today, let you test the sword of this king. ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou spoke, Duoduo, Haoge and other Manchurian young Zhuang factions all scolded angrily, and the anxious Azig even pulled out the long knife on his waist.

"Presumptuous, Mr. Hong, you say!"

Dolgon looked at Hong Chengchou, who was not in the ancient well, with a pale face, and stopped a group of angry Manchurian princes and ministers.

"When King Rui and King Zheng were in power, didn't I also negotiate peace with the Ming court many times? At that time, Dongjiang Mao Wenlong was not Yuan Chonghuan who was eager to negotiate peace with my Qing Dynasty, so he entered the Shuangdao Edict to kill him, and now my Qing Dynasty is in decline, and North Korea is already poor, how much grain and grass can be collected, if you don't negotiate peace with the Ming court, how can you break through the blockade of the Ming thieves? ”

Hong Chengchou was not afraid of Duoduo, Azig and others, who were glaring at him, paused and continued: "The old man thinks that we will negotiate peace this time, not only to go to the throne, but also to send the emperor to the Ming Kingdom as a hostage, and ask the Ming court to imitate the example of Altan Khan, and agree to exchange markets with me in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"You old horseman, eating my Qing Dynasty's money, in fact, harboring evil intentions, sending children as hostages, will the Mongols and Koreans still believe in our Qing Dynasty in the future, the old dog looks at the knife."

Azig couldn't bear it any longer, kicked over the front desk, and was about to step forward with a knife.

"Stop, Azig, are you crazy? He has not yet returned to this king. ”

Dolgon was furious, and since the death of Emperor Taiji, Azig has become more and more unpopular, and actually wants to kill people in public at the meeting of the kings.

"Alas......!"

Seeing that Dorgon was really angry, Azig reluctantly returned the knife to the sheath, and sighed heavily.

"What's wrong with the puppet Ming? When the first emperor just succeeded to the throne, the puppet Ming surrounded our Qing Dynasty on all sides with the Dongjiang army, the North Koreans and the Mongols, and the Guanning army, if it weren't for the first emperor pretending to negotiate peace, and deceived the trust of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong of the puppet Ming Dynasty, we couldn't have entered North Korea and broke the blockade of the puppet Ming on all sides, if it wasn't for the peace with the puppet Ming, Yuan Chonghuan could have killed Mao Wenlong? Completely solve our worries? ”

Although Dolgon said that the governance of the country was not as good as that of Huangtaiji, he was still much better in terms of knowledge than Azig, Duoduo and Haoge and other people who only knew how to fight bravely, and he also knew a lot about Yuan Chonghuan and Huangtai Jiyu, and it was also a matter of discussion back then, and the Qing Dynasty, which was on the verge of total collapse because of the blockade of the Ming court, was rescued.

After the Battle of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan toured Jinzhou and other places in September, and when he received the news of the death of the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhachi, he immediately reported to the imperial court. At the same time, he proposed to take advantage of the fact that the new Great Khan of the Houjin regime was still undecided, and take the opportunity to strengthen the Ningjin defense line under the pretext of negotiating with the Houjin.

Although Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse repeatedly issued orders to Yuan Chonghuan: "The frontier is based on defense, and the matter cannot be discussed lightly." However, all the ministers of Donglin thought that this was a God-given opportunity, after all, there was a precedent for Altan Khan, and he was granted the Khan as a god to achieve peace for all generations, wouldn't it be once and for all.

The Later Jin regime took advantage of this opportunity to raid North Korea, not only obtaining North Korean grain, but also breaking the siege of the Ming court on all sides.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan revived, and Huangtaiji repeated the old tricks, proposing that if the two sides reached a settlement, the Ming court must solve Dongjiang Town.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen gave a reply: "I think that the strategy of peace is just a technique of restraint, but this is not a long-term strategy, our army temporarily holds on to the army, restores its strength, and waits to fight it in the future." ”

However, Yuan Chonghuan was anxious to succeed because of the five-year Pingliao said, and replied to Huang Taiji: "The matter of the Kanto section, the temple has its own policy, if you are willing to be attached to the edict, Chonghuan is willing to follow the power of the sword." That is, to lure Mao Wenlong to Shuangdao and kill him.

That is to say, the Qing Dynasty is using the name of peace to break the blockade of the Ming Kingdom, so that it can be based on Liaodong to look at the Central Plains, and now the crisis is reappearing, and the peace talks are not a big deal.

"Okay, this matter will be Prince Yirui, Master Hong has to trouble you to write a letter, to Lu Liangzhi, the governor of Liaonan of the Ming Kingdom, and say that I am willing to go to the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, just like my answer, and be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for generations."

Jierharang is scheming, in his opinion, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Later Jin Dynasty or the Jianzhou Wei, it is just a false name, as long as he can get out of the predicament, what does it matter if he is a vassal to the Ming State? Didn't Lao Khan also serve as a house slave of Liao Shuai Li Chengliang?

"The old man respectfully obeys the orders of the two auxiliary kings!"

Hong Chengchou saw that Dolgon and Zierharang were as good as flowing, and he was also quite emotional, and he couldn't help but think of Emperor Chongzhen in his heart, if His Majesty could trust the old man with his heart, how could Songjin be defeated?

On the third day of the sixth month of the first year of Yongli, the puppet Qing auxiliary king Dolgon immediately sent Hu Gongming, a scholar of the Inner Secretariat, to Liaonan with the terms of the surrender, intending to borrow money to negotiate and fetch grain for the Qing Dynasty to Korea and delay time.

Hu Gongming was originally a native of Shenyang, Liaodong, born in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, can be described as the world food Minglu, but after the Dongyu captured the whole Liao, he saw that the Dongyu sat big, the official army was repeatedly defeated, and then joined the slave court, because he was familiar with the Ming Dynasty system, then Huang Taiji took a fancy to him, and was added as a scholar of the Secretary Academy, during the battle of Songjin, Hu Gongming and another Hanchen Chen Yannian because of the total grain and grass in Liaoyang, they escaped the massacre of the Jingbei Army.

On June 8, Hu Gongming arrived at Jinzhou Fort under the escort of seven or eight guards, and he was full of posture, and actually ordered people to raise the banner of the commander of the Ming Dynasty Jianzhou Guard during the Nurhachi period, and he even wore the big sleeves of the net scarf that the Ming scholars were accustomed to wearing, and dismounted five miles away from the fort gate, and respectfully marched to the north gate of Jinzhou.

The Jingbei Army guarding the door was stunned, and looked at Hu Gongming and the others in front of him in a daze, how could this Tartar be dressed like this, with a money rat tail but wearing my Daming clothes?

"Foreign minister Hu Gongming came to see the governor of southern Liaoning of the Ming Dynasty on the order of my great khan."

In history, all those who are traitors are those who seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, and those who have the idea of extreme self-interest, Hu Gongming is no exception, and when he arrived at the fort, he fell to the ground and respectfully saluted the defenders of the city.

"Jianzhou Wei? What is Jianzhou Wei? ”

The old base camp of the north gate was greatly stunned, and it has been almost a year since he arrived in southern Liaoning, but he has never heard that there is a guard of our Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and the Tartar who came below, although the clothes and accent are like Han people, but the dog tail behind his head is exactly the same as that of Dongyu.

"Jianzhou Wei is the Manchurian Tartars, they used to be our Ming guards, you take your brothers to Kaecheng and confiscate their weapons, I want to see what tricks the Tartars want to play."

The situation at the north gate alarmed the guerrilla He Jiuyi, who was patrolling the city defense camp on the city, and after confirming that there were only seven or eight people in the eastern captives, He Jiuyi ordered the opening of the city to let the eastern captives enter the city, and at the same time ordered people to report to Bai Wenxuan and Lu Liangzhi.
