After several days of difficult negotiations, the representatives of Daomen and Tianmen held substantive consultations and drafted the final amendment to the "Fenglinzhou Reed Yuan State Peace Agreement" and agreed to formally sign it on the third day of the first month of March.

Whether or not Tianmen can accept Daomen's nine conditions for peace talks mainly focuses on two fundamental issues, one is the punishment of major war criminals and the imperial family, and the other is the acceptance and reorganization of power and the army.

Zhang Qihan made some concessions, took care of the feelings of Tianmen, divided the war criminals into two batches, and severely punished those who did not do evil. If they can clearly recognize right from wrong, repent, and show the facts out of sincerity, and thus are conducive to resolving the Fenglinzhou issue by peaceful means, they will be allowed to cancel the name of war crime and be given lenient treatment. For example, King Zhai agreed to sign a peace agreement and give up resistance, so that Fenglinzhou would not be devastated by war and benefit the common people, and he would be pardoned as a meritorious person.

After the imperial family relinquishes power, the emperor's name can also be retained, after all, the emperor is also the emperor, just an empty name, it doesn't matter.

However, if the province made concessions on the issue of war criminals and the imperial family, then there would be no more concessions on the issue of corresponding power and the army, and most of the power of the Zun faction must be transferred to the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, and all armies must accept the reorganization of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, and it must not be reorganized in batches and regions, but in a centralized and unified manner.

Finally, Zhang Qihan said: "With the third day of the third month of March as the deadline, whether Tianmen agrees to sign or not must express its position before the third day of the third month of March. If it is overdue, the door will be deemed to be rejected. ”

On the Daomen side, Zhang Qihan, the head of the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion, can represent the Daomen with full authority and no need to ask for instructions, while the representative of the Heavenly Gate wants to ask for instructions from King Sai, who is far away in the Ise Shrine in Mie County, so the representative of the Heavenly Gate leaves Jincheng and returns to the Ise Shrine to ask for instructions.

In fact, with the departure of the representatives of the Heavenly Gate, the forces of the Zun Zheng faction have completely withdrawn from Jincheng by sea.

In order to prevent Tianmen from detaining the charge of sabotaging the peace talks on the head of the Daomen, the East China Sea Master did not stop it.

On the third day of the third month of March, King Sai of Ise Jingu refused to sign the final amendment to the "Horinju Reedwon Kingdom Peace Agreement," claiming that the nine extremely harsh conditions for peace talks put forward by the Domen were proof of his insincerity.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, Li Wujian, the real person in charge of the army, and Zhang Qihan, the real person in charge of the army, issued an offensive order: "The rejection of this agreement means that Tianmen and the forces behind it are determined to resist to the end, and the peace negotiations they propose are nothing more than a delaying measure to prevent the advance of the counterinsurgency army so that they can have a respite." ”

As soon as the camp was ordered, the army of the Domen and the army of the Toyotomi Prime Minister, who had been resting for several days, began a full-scale attack.

Tsujo has become an empty city, almost bloodless to open the city. Zhang Qihan, a real person, delivered a speech in Jincheng, saying: "The plan proposed by the Daomen is very lenient, and the people in Fenglinzhou should be able to see clearly who is right and who is wrong, and who is provoking the war and destroying the peace. ”

On the other side, Li Wujian, the real person in charge of the army, arrived at Mt. Suzuka, and after receiving the Suzuka Gomae, he held a meeting at Mt. Suzuka, and decided to attack Kobe from three aspects: sky, land, and sea, so as not to give Kita-Ise a chance to breathe.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were also able to attend the meeting, but the two were not good at commanding troops, so they only listened and did not express their opinions.

After the discussion, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu traveled to Suzuka Mountain together.

This should have been a good time for you and me, but the big war is imminent, and neither of them is in such a mood.

"Who is this King of Zhai?" The two walked along the mountain road to a pavilion located halfway up the mountainside, Qi Xuansu leaned on the beauty of the pavilion, and there was a white mist surging in the wind behind him.

Zhang Yuelu didn't sit down, and walked back and forth in the pavilion: "I have some understanding, but there are many rumors. Before this person became the king of Zhai, he was named the prince of Xizi in the Scarlet Palace, and was the sister of the current emperor of Fenglinzhou, and it is said that she personally led the troops when she was young, and her prestige in the army was very high. ”

"How high is it, it is said that there was a mutiny, she went alone, all the soldiers who saw her bowed their heads, vying to be her guards, and the kneeling people were crushed, and the soldiers burst into tears and shouted long live. As she began to march towards the city, countless soldiers with weapons held high in all directions converged into the long dragon behind her, and the procession grew like a snowball, and by the time she reached the city, there were already thousands of soldiers behind her. She took off her armor and walked away wearing only her single clothes, and the arrows rained down, but not a single arrow fell within three feet of her. ”

Qi Xuansu smiled dumbly and said: "I don't know about military affairs, but I don't think the prestige of a general can be so high, it seems like a story made up by a religious liar to enhance the mystery and sacredness of the leader." And I sound familiar with this matter, it seems to be the deeds of a certain Western emperor? It can't be based on the deeds of Western emperors, right? I remember that the emperor unbuttoned his shirt in front of the battle, exposed his chest, and roared for the soldiers to shoot at him, considering that King Zhai was a woman, it was difficult to undress, so he had to change to a single coat. ”

"Or maybe this His Royal Highness King Zhai has immeasurable powers, and can charm hundreds of people, and it is even easier to make the rain of arrows deviate from the original direction, and I can do it too."

Zhang Yuelu asked with a bit of school significance: "Since you don't understand military affairs, how can you have the confidence to think that this matter is fake?" After all, you also said that there are indeed people who have done it, the emperor of the West. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I don't know about military affairs, but I understand human nature a little, the reason why the emperor of the West has such prestige is because this emperor once led his country to become the most powerful country in the Western Continent, bringing a strong sense of honor to the army, and the soldiers all remember the glory of the beginning, compared with the current defeat situation, the huge contrast prompts them to find their own honor." So when the emperor returned, the soldiers spontaneously came to the emperor's side, and many times, honor was more valuable than money. On the other hand, King Sai's Fenglinzhou Reed Yuan Kingdom, let alone breaking away from the rule of the Daomen, even the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion has not been overthrown, let alone leading the Reed Yuan Kingdom to become the most powerful country in the entire East, why does it have such a high prestige? ”

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "The answer is very good. ”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "In the past, I was very unimpressed with such things as honor, but after experiencing the war in Fenglin Continent, my thoughts have changed. The army must be honored, otherwise the army will fall. ”

"I used to learn about some political systems in the West, where they had a parliament, talked about elections, divided into parties, and took turns to sit in the village. They demanded that the military must remain neutral in order to prevent the military from wielding real power or controlling the parliament. "In this context, they demand that the army must be like a weapon, that it cannot have its own thoughts, remove faith, and only act on orders. Weapons naturally have no honor. ”

"After the faith, the ideas, the honor, what is left of the army? They call it professionalism. So what is the difference between such a professional army and a mercenary? Fighting a war as a profession is nothing more than the state becoming an employer. Soldiers have become people who earn money for a living, not people who defend their homes and countries, aren't they people who make money with their lives? What's the difference between this and those charlatans who tie their heads to their belts? ”

"If you don't have a sense of honor, you won't have status, it's just a thief with an army. If you want to drive them to war, you can't be motivated by honor, so you have to talk about money. There is less money, no one sells their lives, just like the joke says, put three guns on it is worthy of the emperor's salary, the one who flees from the wind is the brave, the one who flees after hearing the wind is the brave, and the one who mishears and flees is the brave. And because the day is precarious, it is inevitable that they will have fun in time, so alcoholism and prostitution will follow one after another, and the corruption of military discipline can be imagined. ”

"How can such an army be combative?"

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu approvingly: "You have seen it very thoroughly, we must try our best to avoid this situation, we must have faith and talk about honor." ”

"Honor is always bound to the hearts of righteous people, so before deciding to go to war, Daomen spent great effort to solve a problem, that is, what we are fighting for, that is, the division is famous. After solving this problem, after the war, we have to emphasize one more problem, we must leave a popular Fenglin Continent, only for the nobles, not for the common people, try to reduce the killing, Tianmen wants peace talks, we know that the plan to delay the army will also satisfy them, all for this purpose. ”

"The army of Westerners is just the opposite, because they don't have to talk about honor, so they can be unscrupulous, they don't have to ask why they are fighting, and they don't have to care about the righteousness of the people, as long as they give money. However, after losing its honor, its army is no different from that of robbers. ”

"These are two completely different ways, Daomen advocates morality and equality internally, and prides itself on civilization externally, so naturally it cannot follow the old path of Westerners."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "Off topic, let's discuss King Zhai, why did it get to the army again." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, this King Zhai is at least similar to Qingwei Zhenren, with the strength of an immortal immortal, and may even be a genuine immortal, even if the Daomen besieges King Zhai, it is not something we can participate in, we just follow the side drum." ”

Qi Xuansu asked: "By the way, there have been rumors recently that the national teacher will leave the base camp in Qizhou and come to Fenglin Continent in person, is it true or false?" ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's true." ”

Qi Xuansu was shocked: "The national teacher wants to take action in person?" ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "It may or may not make a move, it mainly depends on how the three main gods respond." Although it is difficult for the immortals to leave the kingdom of God because of the Heavenly Tribulation, as long as the divine power is enough, it is not impossible to go down to the earth in person, 10,000 moments is not enough, 100,000 moments is not enough, 100,000 moments is not enough, there is a way. If the three main gods take action personally, there may be variables. ”

Qi Xuansu understood: "The national teacher is here to suppress the formation. ”
