"Dongyi soldiers to Huanglong Mansion, Huanglong Mansion is the last barrier of the Beijing Division, once lost, the Beijing Division will be under the Dongyi Army, so when the country is in trouble, can the Qing have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

The deterioration of the situation in Dajin far exceeded Honglin's estimates, and he thought that hundreds of thousands of people would be able to get back some negotiable bargaining chips at the negotiating table by defeating the defenders of Lucheng.

But I didn't think about it, but it made the situation even more sinister.

Hundreds of thousands of elites were terrified, the southern river transportation and sea transportation had been lost, and the Han army even took Dajin directly.

Everything went in the opposite direction of Honglin's prediction.

The Fu family only led less than 10,000 people back to Beijing, and now they dare not face the saint in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the most capable Zhang Gui has also committed suicide to apologize, and the most elite Ruijian battalion has also rebelled and joined the Han army camp.

"Could it be that I want to become the king of the fallen country? Daikin is going to end up at my hands? ”

Thinking of this, Honglin couldn't help but shudder.

From an emperor to a sinner through the ages, maybe only in a moment.

Honglin is unwilling to be the latter no matter what, and the only way out at the moment is to negotiate peace.

No matter how outrageous the conditions put forward by the Han army, they should be given first, and as for the future, they will wait to avoid this catastrophe.

Ji Yun immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the only way to move the capital is to temporarily avoid Dongyi's edge. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials in the hall instantly looked at Ji Yun as if they were looking at the fat.

Li Shen closed his eyes even more, and said in his heart, how did this thing get mixed with a university scholar?

Moving the capital? Where to move?

The south has been controlled by the Han army and navy, and all parts of the north have also been disabled by the Han army, where are you going to move the capital, those deep mountains and old forests in the middle?

Besides, is there still time to move the capital now? Where does the money come from? Daikin treasury has long been empty, not to mention that the hundred officials and nobles in Gyeonggi will agree!?

Honglin also felt that Ji Yun's statement was outrageous, so he ignored him and said directly to Li Shen: "Li Shen, what do you say now?" ”

Li Shen decisively stepped out: "Your Majesty, according to the battle report received by the minions, the Han army has stopped attacking since it captured the periphery of Huanglong Mansion, and it has not retaliated against the people in the city.

Therefore, the slave thought that the situation was not irreconcilable, and Dongyi's move must be waiting for my court to order someone to negotiate. ”

Honglin immediately said: "Okay, I will entrust you with full authority to handle the peace negotiations, and quickly go to Huanglong Mansion to let Dongyi ...... No, it was the Han Dynasty that stopped the offensive. ”

Li Shen arched his hand: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Then he glanced at Ji Yun: "Your Majesty, the slave still has an uninvited feeling." ”

"Say, what else do you need?"

Li Shen: "The servant wants Master Ji to go to Huanglong Mansion with me." ”

"What? I? Ji Yun was immediately horrified when he heard this, "Why did Li Xiang want to harm me?" ”

"Bold Ji Yun!" Honglin scolded angrily, "When the national disaster is at hand, as a scholar in the palace, shouldn't you do your part for me and the court?"

Do you want to watch the Han army destroy our Dajin Jiangshan Society in one fell swoop! I have made up my mind, Li Shen is the main envoy, Ji Yun is the deputy envoy, and the day of the dispersal of the dynasty went to Huanglong Mansion to negotiate with the Han army. ”

"The minions obey."

Li Shen and Ji Yun could only obey the order.

Ji Yun was even more depressed, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

……

March 13, Huanglong Mansion.

Li Shen and Ji Yun each had different thoughts and came to the temporary jurisdiction of the Han army in Huanglong Mansion.

The lively Huanglong Mansion in the past was a little more desolate at this time because of the war, and the shops along the street closed their doors one after another.

Bands of soldiers from the Ruijian Battalion patrol to maintain law and order.

Li Shen saw a Han soldier squatting in front of a civilian mother and daughter, stuffing a bag of more than a dozen grains into their hands, and the mother and daughter immediately knelt in front of the Han soldier and kowtowed, but were helped up by the Han soldier, without the unique arrogance of the conqueror on his face.

On the other side, two Han soldiers supported a sick old man and walked to a wooden house with a sign of "Medical Team" not far away, and there were many poor families who had no money for medical treatment outside the house.

Seeing this scene, Li Shen couldn't help but feel complicated, this was the first time he had seen this kind of scene of military and civilian music.

After a while, a group of Han soldiers came to them, and Li Shen was just about to say hello, when an officer led by him gave a military salute directly to the two and then said: "I am the staff officer of the army under General Yue, Lu Yi, and I came to greet the envoys of your country on the order of the general.

According to the rules, when you meet my general, you must first unload your weapons and enter only after checking that they are correct, please forgive me. ”

Without waiting for Li Shen, Ji Yun and other envoys to respond, Lu Yi directly ordered someone to search them.

In this regard, Li Shen and others did not dare to make any mistakes, but Ji Yun hurriedly said: "This move is insulting to Sven." ”

The soldier who was about to search Ji Yun's body heard the words and immediately retreated.

Lu Yi said with a smile: "Since your country has no sincerity in peace talks, then please go back." ”

When Li Shen heard this, he hurriedly said to Ji Yun: "Master Ji! Have you forgotten the emperor's instructions!? ”

When Ji Yun heard this, he could only endure the humiliation and let the soldiers search his body.

Soon, after confirming that there were no control weapons on their bodies, Lu Yi took them to the negotiation site.

As soon as he entered the camp, Li Shen saw a negotiation table made up of three long tables, covered with a white tablecloth, and several chairs on the left and right sides, with pen, ink and paper manuscripts on the table, as well as corresponding documents.

And after they arrived, Yue Shaomu sat in the middle without saying a word, and Ban Dingyuan became the representative of the Han Dynasty in this meeting.

"Several, please take a seat."

With Yue Shaomu's order, the people on both sides sat down one after another.

Candidates for representatives of the Han side: Ban Dingyuan, the chief diplomatic envoy, Zhang Banghua, the deputy envoy, Luo Song, the general of Sealand, and a secretary and historian, there are eight people.

In contrast, the officials of the Jin State were much more cold: Li Shen, the deputy envoy Ji Yun, and the rest of the entourage were not qualified to sit down.

After briefly stating the rules, Ban Dingyuan took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and knocked it on the surface of the box, and then said: "I will first state the views of the Han court, this negotiation is related to the normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the opinions that have differences between them should be negotiated by peaceful means as much as possible. ”

Li Shen: "I have no opinion, and I would like to ask your envoy to propose the conditions for an armistice." ”

Ban Dingyuan picked up a document: "The most basic points mentioned in this document are basically the same as when I first submitted the credentials of this dynasty, but there are three more articles.

First, your country's maritime trade must be fully open to Han caravans.

Second, your country's mineral resources were developed by the Han Dynasty and developed together.

Third, we need to unify tariffs and set up a customs office to ensure that maritime trade can be carried out normally. ”

Li Shen: "My country has no objection to this. ”

The truth is only within the range of artillery, and this sentence is basically universal in ancient and modern times, except for the subject change.

Why can the United States rely on the dollar to harvest the whole world and control the financial lifeline, while other countries can only be slaughtered by it? What are the universal values that we rely on?

Don't be funny, in the final analysis, it is to have absolute military power that can fight all over the world, just ask those African and Middle Eastern countries that have not even understood the scientific and technological level of the World War II light weapons assembly line dare to compete with the United States, which has 11 aircraft carrier battle groups?

Li Shen and Ji Yun were crushed by the other party because of their country's military level, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.
