"Since you're not willing to give in, what are you doing here? Go back and wait for the thieves to slowly get along with you, if Wu Sangui thinks that he can fight the thieves alone, just let go and fight! I will never take advantage of people's danger!

If he is not afraid of being saddled with the infamy of a thief who surrendered and killed the king, even if he defected, let's see if Li Zicheng can tolerate him! Will you use him as a gun, and in the end, you will not be able to die well! ”

In the face of Tong Kuixing's initial toughness, of course, Fan Wencheng would not be polite, and directly helped Dolgon put on a posture of not being afraid of anything, and took the lead to create a momentum of price reduction.

Dolgon, who had been sitting on the tiger skin chair for a long time, suddenly moved his strong and heavy body, and put on the expression of a loyal elder, Shi Shiran said:

"Eh, Master Fan said that these things are very much, and they are guests from afar. General Wu was able to find me in the Qing Dynasty, which shows that he is still a loyal and righteous man in his bones. I admire the loyal man the most, how can you slander him for having the idea of defecting in his heart? ”

Fan Wencheng immediately took advantage of the situation and pretended to admit his mistake: "What the prince said is true, it is the lower official who does not choose to say anything for a while. We can not believe in General Wu's sincerity, but we should not underestimate General Wu's character. ”

The master and slave sang and harmonized, and their red and white faces complemented each other.

After Tong Kuixing was squeezed like this, it took a lot of effort to regain some momentum, and it was difficult to appeal Wu Sangui's latest conditions:

"What the prince and Lord Fan said is not unreasonable, and my general is not afraid to speak out, he really won't consider defecting, after all, the monarch's father has a great enmity!

But if the prince is aggressive, my general will naturally have another way to retreat - this envoy once again reiterates General Wu's conditions, first, your country must ensure that his defense area in Guanning is not disturbed, and the military cantonments of Liaodi and Yongping Mansion are still under the jurisdiction of General Wu, and the soldiers and horses are not allowed to move the town.

In exchange, General Wu promised to instigate the defenders of the Great Wall of Jimen, let your army enter the pass through Jimen, and flank the thieves. After the deed was accomplished, General Wu was willing to pay the land and population of Shandong and Hebei provinces.

In addition, considering that Yongping Mansion in Hebei is also under the jurisdiction of General Wu and cannot be delivered, you can cede some more land of equivalent value in Henan Province as compensation to your country-

Last time, General Wu did not mention the ownership of several prefectures in Henan Province north of the Yellow River, and this time, in order to show his sincerity, he was willing to cede the three prefectures of Weihui, Huaiqing, and Zhangde to your country. Since then, the two countries of the Ming and Qing dynasties have become a country of brothers along the old road of the Yellow River, following the story of the Song and Liao dynasties, and no longer offending each other. ”

Tong Kuixing was full of joy, and first said the new conditions after Wu Sangui's fine-tuning, but he was not in a hurry to say that Wu Sangui had a fearless hole card.

Dolgon listened a little impatiently, but he discerned it a little, and he also heard that Wu Sangui did make a little concession compared with the conditions of the last time-mainly the three prefectures in Henan Province located north of the Yellow River, which were indeed not involved in the last time he drew cakes and talked about the future border. Now he has promised to cut the land of the three provinces in one breath.

But this kind of concession, that is, the gesture is more significant, and there is not much real benefit.

The actual control of these lands is still in the hands of Li Zicheng! If Dolgon wants to cede these lands, can he still order Wu Sangui to fight back first, and then give them to the Qing Dynasty?

Is Wu Sangui willing to do this? Can you afford it? If he really could afford it, Wu Sangui wouldn't do it himself? Do you still use the feelings of others? Therefore, in the end, it is not necessary to clear the ground by himself with a knife and a shot!

Dolgon was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it, but just said: "Seven or eight days apart, General Wu didn't let go of his mouth elsewhere, but only promised to cut more three mansions? It seems that he has nothing to fear, and this king wants to hear what he has prepared. ”

Tong Kuixing took a deep breath, and he was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect that this Dolgon had the strength to take the initiative to ask this, and he expected it so accurately.

Fortunately, before Wu Sangui sent him as an envoy, he was also well prepared. Tong Kuixing quickly brushed up his thoughts, and then barely kept humbly or arrogantly said:

"When General Wu sent me as an envoy, Shanhaiguan was still unharmed. However, the thieves had been completely enraged by General Wu's feat of detaining Tang Tong and accepting the transfer of Gao Jie's troops, and accelerated the march on Shanhaiguan.

Maybe at this moment, Li Zicheng's men are already attacking Shanhaiguan! But General Wu relied on the natural danger of Shanhaiguan, so he would naturally fight to the death! In order to pitch worthy of the heart!

As long as your army does not invade from behind, it will hold the Shanhaiguan Pass for a month, and General Wu is also confident! However, if your army is treacherous and dares to let the soldiers and horses approach Shanhaiguan from the Liaoxi Corridor, even if it is only to enter the Qiantun and Houtun defense areas, General Wu can only make a decision immediately, withdraw the whole army from the sea, and give the Shanhaiguan natural danger to Li Zicheng!

Even so, General Wu is worthy of the spirit of the first emperor in the sky! If this happens, it is not that he is unwilling to defend the land, but that he is being flanked from front and back, and he is powerless to fight again! He didn't surrender to the enemy, he just fought and gave up!

If Shanhaiguan falls into the hands of Li Zicheng, when it gains a firm foothold and clears the interior, your country will want to enter Hebei again, and I don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey! ”

Tong Kuixing's words can be regarded as a very sincere truth.

He imitated Dolgon's straightforwardness, and first took the initiative to bring the danger and embarrassment faced by his side to the table, admitting that Li Zicheng might be already fighting Shanhaiguan at the moment, in order to prove that what he said did not hide his shortcomings. In this way, the rest of his words also seemed to be much more credible.

In history, Wu Sangui did not choose to stick to Xiongguan when the army was approaching, but went out of the pass to fight a decisive battle in a stone field, mainly because he had surrendered to the Tartars, and he had to obey Dolgon's orders to show his sincerity, so he fought a tough battle.

Now he hasn't voted yet, and there are threatening chips, of course Wu Sangui doesn't have to go out of the field battle, why don't you use the relevant cards?

Of course, Shanhaiguan is only a checkpoint, not a city, so its own strategic depth is insufficient.

In the past hundreds of years, the purpose of Shanhaiguan's existence has been to defend against nomadic Tartars from the direction of Liaodong and the grassland, so most of the warehouses, barracks and other rear facilities have been left on the side of the pass.

Once the enemy resides to attack from the inside of the pass, these implementations will face the problem of being temporarily occupied by the enemy, and the materials and personnel can only be transported to the other side of the checkpoint, or at least transferred to the narrow fortress area of the wall—this is also an important reason why Wu Sangui chose to attack instead of defending in history.

After all, when it really comes to the point of sticking to the wall, the facilities in the gate will definitely be seriously damaged by Li Zicheng, and Wu Sangui's lasting capital will be gone.

Even if Wu Sangui spent a lot of money to transfer the valuable and soft strategic materials to the other side of the pass, if he was attacked by Dolgon, then he would also lose all his money, so it would be meaningless to do so in history.

But now everything is different, Wu Sangui's logistical supply can count on foreign aid, the Ming army's navy still has absolute superiority, and it is impossible for Dolgon to cut off the last lifeline of sea supply. Therefore, if Dolgon still betrays his treachery and tears his face, Wu Sangui will leave Xiongguan to Li Zicheng! He still has a chance to withdraw!

Tong Kui was generous enough to talk about his own weaknesses first, and then his own way of retreat, and made it clear that whoever was treacherous to General Wu would rather leave it to the other side! Even the other side is a vicious enemy!

On the issue of choosing who to leave the gatekeeper to, Wu Sangui does not look at who is more vicious, but who is not trustworthy in the end!

……

Fan Wencheng and Dolgon listened to Tong Kuixing's undisguised truth, and they also had to fall silent.

Indeed, if Wu Sangui sends someone to say big things and blow great righteousness, then they are not afraid. But Wu Sangui is so pragmatic and explains the problems at the level of operational details in such detail, it is obvious that he can do this step in practice.

Dolgon also had to give up the idea that "if Wu Sangui really doesn't surrender, he will still be able to sneak attack and pinch the opponent's weakness after transferring the old and weak materials to the other side of the wall in order to defend the pass and resist Li Zicheng".

really made this step, which angered Wu Sangui, people can really dedicate it to Li Zicheng!

Li Zicheng won the Xiongguan, and the Qing army wanted to enter again, but it would be too difficult!

How difficult it is to attack Shanhaiguan, Dolgon has learned many times in the past ten years! This question needs no more explanation!

Tong Kuixing saw that the other party had finally loosened, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said the last condition that Zhu Shuren secretly promised Wu Sangui:

"Lord Wang, if your country is willing to cooperate with General Wu and only attack the thieves from the Jimen Gate, then General Wu can always hold on to the Shanhaiguan Pass, consume the thieves' sharpness, and wait for his soldiers to be exhausted and depressed, and your army will fight from the flanks, why not win a complete victory!"

Your country also has the Eight Banners of the Han Army, if you can force land the elite of the thieves and incorporate them into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in your country, wouldn't it also be a benefit to your country's military strength?

In the end, General Wu was also willing to take on the role, and finally promised your army a benefit: as long as your army joined forces with General Wu, General Wu could promise to persuade Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Shuren not to destroy your country's supply routes in the Bohai Bay in the future, and the navies of your two countries would cease fighting! As long as your country does not betray the alliance and sneak attack, our Daming Naval Division will not have hostile actions!

In order to prove General Wu's sincerity, there is also a handwritten letter from Zhu Shuren, the governor of Daming Huguang and the surname of the country, as well as his seal letter, he is willing to take on this role and cooperate with General Wu's promise! ”

Tong Kuixing's final offer shocked Dolgon again.

In the original history, it was impossible for the Qing army to promise not to personally control Shanhaiguan, an important reason was to take the Jimen Great Wall for supplies, which was too far away, not as good as the Liaoxi Corridor.

However, no matter how easy the Liaoning West Corridor is, it is certainly not as convenient as the sea transportation along the north shore of Bohai Bay, with low cost and large volume.

Historically, the Qing army's supply line in Bohai Bay was not harassed by the Ming army, but the Qing army's own naval division was not strong, and it all relied on Kong Youde and others who had descended to surrender to the Wuqiao Mutiny and brought the old division of the Ming army.

But now, if the Qing army still wants to use the sea supply line, it will be much more difficult. Because the Zheng family has been seduced by Zhu Shuren to go north.

And the Shen family, the third generation of "King of the Yellow Sea", is even more directly strong, and also relied on Chongzhen's previous "five years to realize the transformation of Cao Yun into the sea", and built 800 high-performance shipping ships, which can break Kong Youde's neck at any time.

This provided a new bargaining chip for the Ming army, and Dolgon's demand for a safe shipping route in Bohai Bay was no less than the demand for Shanhaiguan.

Although this condition of "shipping harmony" is attached to the premise of "the Ming and Qing dynasties do not betray each other's alliances", if Dolgonzhen completely occupies the land of Hebei and Shanxi, and then wants to tear up the alliance, Zhu Shuren will of course adjust his strategy again.

"However, if my Qing Dynasty completely occupies Hebei and Shanxi, I will be able to rely on the money, grain, and goods of Hebei and Shanxi to feed the war.

At that time, there is no need to expect Liaodi to transfer food and materials to fund the army, even if you want to tear your face and continue to go south, it is a big deal to let Kong Youde Shui Shi converge in advance, and if you don't give Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Shuren a chance, it will be ......"

Dorgon thought about it for a moment, and thought to himself that it was acceptable.

There is no way, the main reason is that Wu Sangui has a way to retreat and supplies, this is already an immortal place, even if he is defeated, at least he can go, he really has the ability to choose who to dedicate the fortress of Shanhaiguan to.

"Well, then according to General Wu's proposal, this king will also have some involvement, so he will enter the pass from the Jimen Great Wall and attack Li Zicheng on the side. After the matter is completed, the two provinces of Hebei and Shanxi will belong to my Qing Dynasty, and there will be no competition! As long as Wu Sangui worked hard to kill the thief, he naturally didn't have to move the town. ”

Dorgon painfully agreed, but he didn't really intend to fulfill his promise. He promised Wu Sangui that he didn't need to move the town, but in fact, he also hid a shelf life, that is, before he took the two provinces of Hebei and Shanxi in the Qing Dynasty, he didn't need Wu Sangui to move the town.

If you really gain a firm foothold in the customs, the land of the two provinces is mastered, and the city of Beijing is also stable, then you will come and tear your face and ask Wu Sangui for more, it's not too late!

The Qing Kingdom has never intended to keep its promises for a long time, and it has only been a year and a half of false promises.

And Dolgon's statement that he had to do something was not a lie. Because Huang Taiji had only been dead for four months, he had not yet established a decisive enough credit to establish his absolute leadership within the Manchus.

At present, Zilharang and Brother Hao still have some ability to dictate his decision-making, and if Dolgon betrays the interests that should have been obtained, it will also damage his prestige (in the eyes of the Qing people, less profit is a loss, and the conditions that could have been eaten and wiped clean were not eaten and wiped clean, and a mouthful of meat was left for the opponent, which was also a loss, and the failure of the leadership and decision-makers could be investigated)

All of this requires Dolgon to temporarily endure humiliation and burden to settle it, until he really enters the city of Beijing, and that sweeping effort can completely establish his absolutely unquestionable ruling prestige - after all, the first emperor Huang Taiji did not enter Beijing.

After some difficult supplementary negotiations, the two sides confirmed that some details were finalized, of course, these details were mainly negotiated between Tong Kuixing and Fan Wencheng, and Dolgon would not personally take care of such details. In the end, the Qing State and Wu Sangui finally reached an alliance of "forming an alliance without being a vassal, willing to help the war as a guest general of the Qing State, and promising to cede the two provinces, and promising not to invade the supply route of the Bohai Bay of the Qing State".

Dolgon's troops also immediately marched from Tashan to the grassland route north of Yanshan, and went straight to the Great Wall of Jimen, from where they entered the pass in a roundabout way.

In front of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's battle to defend the city has also been tragically launched. Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were inseparable, but relying on the world's Xiongguan, although Wu Sangui's troops were small, they were as solid as a rock.
