Chapter 419: I'm Afraid of My Countrymen When I Leak the Bottom (Fourth Watch)
"Lord Hong, don't be surprised, this king has been in a hurry for the past two days, his heart is on fire, and his temper is a little bad, please take care of it, we have something to discuss, good things are more grinding, hahaha."
Haoge talked and laughed, found an excuse, put on a posture that he didn't dare to hold up, and apologized to Hong Chengchou.
Su Ma Lagu also played a round next to her.
"Haha, the two of you have seen each other, so it's easy to talk about." Hong Chengchou also laughed twice, and the jujube core face also became better-looking, and said secretly: "You guys are still far from playing this with me Hong Chengchou!"
Haoge and Lama Suma looked at each other for a moment, then nodded to each other, and Haoge said, "Lord Hong, let's discuss this clause again, how about it?"
"Okay. If the prince has something to say, please speak in person, and Hong will listen to him."
Hong Chengchou said, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and tasted the tea slowly.
"This first article, the Ningyuan area where Da Qing seized the Ming should be returned to the Da Ming," Hauge paused when he read this, "This matter is very serious, and it is beyond the authority of this king, so I must ask my lord to judge."
"What the prince said is reasonable, Hong can also play and ask Emperor Daming to wait for good news." Hong Chengchou nodded.
Hong Chengchou's implication is that this article cannot be changed. Let Shunzhi decide to let Xiaozhuang decide, and it can be delayed for a few days.
"Article 2, the Qing Dynasty should pay a total of 61 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty in a lump sum of war payments, including the pension for the casualties of the three major battles in Shanhaiguan, the compensation for the destruction of farmland and villages, and the maintenance of 12,000 prisoners of war."
Haoge himself didn't know how to finish reading it, and said with a frown: "Lord Hong, 61 million taels of silver, this is too much, right?" Can there be less?"
Hong Chengchou's jujube core head shook, "Lord Wang, war is cruel, this is part of the losses caused by the war to the Ming Dynasty, not all of them. Some of them may not be measured by money, for example, how much silver can buy a life when a person dies? It's just compensation."
Hauge's eyes widened again, "And who will compensate for our casualties?"
Hong Chengchou said: "Haha, when the prince says this, it is a strong word. It was the Qing Dynasty that started the war, and the battlefield was in the Ming Dynasty, and this was calculated by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty one by one, not a sky-high asking price, and I am afraid that one or two pieces of silver are indispensable."
Hong Chengchou said while shaking his head.
Wang Chengen almost laughed out loud when he heard this, some of them are asking for a price, this is calculated by the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family knows best, in order to slaughter *** ruthlessly, one or two taels of silver is counted as ten or two hundred taels. The fractions are all rounded, only in and without rounding.
It's just to let you lose more money, smash the pot and sell iron, next time you dare to raise troops for no reason?
When Haoge and Lama Suma heard this, they couldn't change it.
Haoge had a bitter look on his face, "But Lord Hong, I have few villains in the Qing Dynasty, I am located outside the Gang, the land is barren, and the population is extremely short of food, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take out so much silver at once."
"Haha, you can take it, you said this was decades ago, and now it's a different morning. According to Hong's knowledge, how many iron, porcelain, and gunpowder were sent to the Qing Dynasty by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and the merchants of Jin, Hui, Zhejiang, and Fujian made no less than 10 million taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty a year, can it be said that the Qing Dynasty had no money?"
"Also, last year, the Qing Dynasty expanded the capital, compared with the Ming Dynasty's capital palace, and built a large number of buildings, which alone cost tens of millions of taels of silver, how can it be said that there is no money?"
"In addition, the attached Mongolia and Korea, the jewelry and treasures that are paid tribute to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty every year are even more valuable, gold and silver are not counted, the military expenditure of the Qing Dynasty in a year reaches 10 million taels of silver, although the red-clothed cannon is learned from the Ming Dynasty, but the giant cannon of more than 5,000 catties and the giant of tens of thousands of catties are bought from Portugal for a lot of money, and the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Belle Beizi, is rich in the flow of oil......
Hong Chengchou smiled and talked eloquently, saying that he had known the richest place in the Qing Dynasty in the past 4 years at the top of the Qing Dynasty, but before he could talk about dirty officials and corruption, he was interrupted by Hao Ge's loud voice.
"That's enough!"
I'm afraid of my fellow countryman, this dog knows too much......
Hauge's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
Aunt Su Ma is also angry and has a cold face, this is simply a lion's big mouth!
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is hateful, they are really poor and crazy.
This Hong Chengchou is even more hateful, the Qing Dynasty treats him so well, he is so ungrateful, he should have let the Queen Mother kill him.
Hong Chengchou smiled indifferently when he saw that Haoge was about to play sideways again, "Hmph, if the prince thinks that Hong is talking too much, Hong can keep silent from now on."
Wang Chengen saw that the two sides were about to stalemate, and felt that it was almost dark, so he hurried over to play a round.
Wang Chengen said in his unique male duck voice: "Hahaha, everyone has worked hard, it's not early, the prince of the Qing Dynasty has worked all the way, today's peace talks are over, long live the lord has settled for you, you can go to the post house to stay and rest, and continue tomorrow."
Haoge and Aunt Su Ma don't want to talk anymore, this condition is too harsh, if the Queen Mother knows, can she agree?
Therefore, the two got up and walked out, Hong Chengchou followed behind, Wang Chengen only cared about sending Haoge and Aunt Suma, and no one paid attention to Hong Chengchou at all, but Hong Chengchou still had a pampered and unsurprised expression......
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
