Daming, Jingshi.

It had only been a few days since the dragon raised his head, but there was no longer any festive taste, and the entire Jingshi was shocked by the great changes in Jiangnan.

More and more news also spread through the mouth of the businessman throughout the North Zhili area.

The streets and alleys are hotly discussed, and the surging offensive of the black soldiers, especially the rumors, also vividly describes the black people as blue-faced and fanged beasts.

When they heard that they had defeated tens of thousands of Ming troops in a quarter of an hour, and had broken through Zhenjiang in a few hours, all people of insight fell into extreme surprise.

There are even faint rumors, saying that "the black people are less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible"!

In addition, the panic caused by the blockade of Cao Yun has set off a high price of grain in the Beizhili area.

Although it is possible to bypass Zhenjiang and supply food by land! However, not to mention the increase in distance, there is also a lot of loss.

Moreover, the land route also had to levy people to transport grain and grass, which was the way to death for the Ming court!

Because if the people continue to block the Cao Yun, I am afraid that the people of Jiangxi, Anhui, and Huguang will die, and they will only be able to last a few years.

As for the recovery of Zhenjiang, then it is necessary to transfer troops and gather troops again, judging from the past battles, there are fewer people who can't fight, and the court can't bear it if there are more people.

Therefore, even ordinary people in the market understand that the imperial court is in big trouble right now, and bandits from all walks of life in the north are also ready to move.

Daming Wenwu is also at a loss, they all have a good solution to the problem in their hearts, and this solution is to negotiate peace!

But no one is willing to say it, after all, this is being held by the nose of the bull by Dongqin, and the words of peace may not be what price to pay.

None of them wanted to take care of it, but more hoped that the emperor could let out the wind and appoint a confidant to discuss the matter.

Just like the tribute of Alta in another time and space, it was essentially a Alta force to force the Ming Dynasty to switch the market, and at that time I Ta led troops to Beijing City.

Emperor Jiajing was forced to personally instruct the mutual market switch, saying that the Ming Dynasty would consider opening the mutual market if I withdrew the army, but after I withdrew the army, Jiajing immediately turned his face, but he didn't want to bear this responsibility.

In the end, after I answered the army again, this was reluctantly settled, and it was not until Longqing ascended the throne that I was really canonized, and I also agreed to pay tribute, but behind this after all, it was the military compromise of the Ming Dynasty, and the political compromise brought about by it.

And the capture of Zhenjiang by the Huang people brought more shock, after all, Jiangnan is a heavy place for taxation.

Under the fermentation of this panic, several black soldiers appeared in the sea off Tianjin, and after they landed, they instantly triggered the collapse of Beitang and Tianjin Sanwei, and without even fighting, the Wei commander ran away with people.

Fortunately, Dongqin only sent a letter of state.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was already skinny, and since the beginning of abdominal pain, Emperor Hongzhi in his prime was getting thinner and thinner, and his appetite was sharply reduced.

This time he encountered such a big change, and his face was even darker, and his whole body was full of sickness.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian were all deeply anxious, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would make a mistake.

If Hongzhi suddenly dies, then after the people learn the news, they will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob, and then the country will not be solidified, not to mention half of the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the entire Ming Metropolitan Building will fall.

The letter of state of the Eastern Qin Dynasty has also been delivered, and the military ship of the people sailed directly to the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin, and the letter of state was sent with great force.

At this moment, this crusty national letter was lying quietly next to Emperor Hongzhi's sickbed.

And all the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have rushed over, and the prince and queen are also on the side.

"Is Wang Heng here?" Emperor Hongzhi asked weakly.

Wang Heng immediately came out of the queue and kowtowed: "Weichen is here!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and asked, "You have been an envoy to Eastern Qin, and you think that the people of the Emperor can have some sincerity in negotiating peace?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say this micro-minister! However, there is one thing that Weichen thinks is credible. ”

"What?"

"That's the battle of the people, mostly to open the port and mutual market!"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a while, and then asked: "That is, if the Ming Dynasty agrees to open the port, the Huang people can withdraw their troops?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not just that, in the book of the Eastern Qin, there is a joint construction of the customs, and there are several articles around the tariff, presumably in the future, the goods coming and going in the Eastern Qin will be determined by the Eastern Qin." Wang Heng replied.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, feeling very surprised in his heart, Eastern Qin smuggled with the people, and there was no need to pay any tariffs, why did he go to great lengths in exchange for an open port and trade, and also made a customs.

And the terms are clearly written, the tariffs will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty every year to escort into Beijing, which makes the Manchu civil and military even more confused.

The only tricky thing is the so-called inland waterway shipping rights, which, if signed, would allow the ships of the Eastern Qin Dynasty to operate unimpeded on the Yangtze River.

There is also a rule of law and the establishment of a consulate, that is, if the Turquoise people violate the law in Daming, they can only be handed over to the Consulate of the Sultan for adjudication.

This means that in the future, the people will be the existence of the superior in the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming Wenwu just don't know, it doesn't mean that they are stupid, they have an insignificant attitude towards the opening of the port, but they can't make up their minds about these two articles, as well as the mutual recognition of the power of the clan and the domain.

"Then you say, if the people are really willing to use swords for the sake of business?" Emperor Hongji asked again.

Wang Heng thought for a while, nodded and said: "After only a few days in Eastern Qin, the minister found that a large number of commercial goods were made by the factories of the Huang people every day, and they naturally couldn't use them up by relying on Eastern Qin alone, so they were keen to sell the commercial goods, and the port was extremely busy.

The minister also looked through the terms signed between the Eastern Qin and the Ryukyus, as well as the actions in the Ryukyus, and found that after they attacked the Ryukyus, they actually built a sugar workshop on it, and relied on the sugar business to earn money, and now almost all of the entire Ryukyus are growing sugar cane. This shows that the people act in a profit-oriented manner and never do anything unprofitable! ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "It seems that the whole country is a big business, valuing profit over righteousness!" But if you prosper with this, you will die with this! I want to see what the people will be like when the greed of the whole country is aroused! ”

Wang Heng sighed helplessly, although Emperor Hongzhi said this, the civil and military forces present all knew it, and a deep sense of frustration pierced into the hearts of the Ming monarchs and ministers when the Huang people entered Ningbo City.

Da Ming, who read the books of sages, was actually pinched by Dong Qin, who read the business scriptures.

But he can't be tough, Emperor Hongzhi understands the thoughts of his ministers, and he doesn't want to carry this shameful treaty.

But looking at the young Zhu Houzhao, and then thinking of his body, the fatherly love in his heart made him have to make compromises.

If he continues to carry it on, not to mention the cost of national strength, if he suddenly dies, then these courtiers will definitely coax Zhu Houzhao to sign this peace treaty.

Rather than letting his son take the throne and carrying a huge burden, it is better to be a father and help him with the last handful.

Hongzhi only prayed that Zhu Houzhao could go into battle lightly, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and wash away all the humiliations of today!

"Elder Li Ge, you are a veteran of the two dynasties, I will ask you a word, can this battle continue!" There was already some pleading in Hongji's tone, as if he wanted to get some more hope.

Li Dongyang was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, if you want to fight hard, I have tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty, and I am naturally not afraid of the people!" Correct...... However, the people suddenly rose up, and without waiting for my Ming Dynasty to make proper arrangements, they had already connected Kezhou County, and even attacked Zhenjiang! Now...... This is not a good time to continue fighting! If we can let the soldiers retreat first, and then I will reorganize our defenses, it will not be difficult to defeat the people! ”

Emperor Hongzhi grabbed the quilt painfully and asked, "What about Liu Cifu?" ”

Liu Jian came out and said: "The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to continue to fight now!" If you want to win the people, you must transfer 100,000 elite soldiers from the nine towns to have something to do! And to transfer these 100,000 horses, it will take at least two or three years of operation, and it will cost two million dollars! Therefore, the top priority of the imperial court is to open up sources and reduce expenditure, as long as there is more silver, everything can be done! ”

"Xie Yuqiao, what do you think?"

Xie Qian understood his intentions and said calmly: "Fight, you can't beat it now, so you can't continue to fight!" If you continue to fight, it will be unwise! Fortunately, the people are rampant, and Yu Wei only makes us make a contract, just like the husband of the year, how short-sighted. Now I am just suffering some humiliation, but my land is vast and my population is trillions, and in time, I will be able to wash away this shame just like the one who has practiced lying on his back and tasted his courage! ”

"Heh, the meaning of several ministers is that they can't fight, but you thank Yu Qiao for being the most honest! Whatever it is! ”

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes with a wry smile and read slowly: "Since the beginning of the Imperial Pole, I have been well-dressed and conscientious, and I know that my virtue is lacking and my qualifications are mediocre, so I have always been considerate of my own people and open my mouth!" After many years of recuperation, he finally succeeded. However, the people of Huang caused trouble, eastern Zhejiang was corrupted, Zhenjiang was broken, and Cao Yun was interrupted! Since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, there has been unprecedented danger and shame!

Thinking of the livelihood of trillions of Li people and the current situation, I decided to send Minister Plenipotentiary Xie Qian and Deputy Envoy Wang Heng to Ningbo to negotiate with the people! But to eliminate the sword soldiers, to protect the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the stability of the society......"

"The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty...... The unfilial descendant Zhu Youzhu is deeply guilty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

A wail sounded, and the audience suddenly fell to their knees.

And Emperor Hongzhi was already in tears, crying silently.

But many civil and military people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, some of the terms of the people seemed harsh, but they did not agree with the Ming Dynasty as a brotherly country, and the second did not let the Ming Dynasty accept the New Year's coin, and the third did not occupy an inch of the Ming Dynasty.

If such a peace treaty is signed, the crisis can be resolved and peace will be maintained for several years, so why not?
