Chapter 840 0835 [Don't Kill the Vultures, Stop Talking and Discussing Peace]

Shangjing is too far away, it is in Acheng District, Harbin City.

Fortunately, the Ming army obtained a lot of grain and grass in Liaoyang, otherwise it would be enough to cross the sea from Shandong.

Even so, Liaoyang is also thousands of miles away from Shangjing.

And that's just a straight-line distance.

The troops that went straight to the capital of the Jin State claimed that there were 50,000, but in fact there were 10,000 in total.

The people have also changed.

The people from Shandong have already returned to their hometowns one after another. Most of the people who transported grain to Shangjing with the army were Han, Bohai and Khitan.

Yang Yun was called back by Zhu Ming and commanded the cavalry with Yang Zaixing. There are also Gao Jingshan, Wang Zheng, Liu Cao and other generals, who also followed with their cavalry. There were four thousand horsemen in total.

Shi Biao and Gu San led the emperor's personal guards, totaling 2,000 heavy infantry. The armor was carried on mules, and the soldiers rode inferior horses.

By the time the troops arrived in Longzhou, light snow had fallen in the sky.

Hua Rong suggested that ships be recruited to transport grain and grass by water.

If you encounter an ambush by the Jin soldiers again, you will be defeated if you don't pay attention to it.

Due to the adequate preparation of clothes, the generals of Liaodong were fine, but the Ming soldiers were choked by the cold.

Shi Biao and Gu San are not much better, they are all from Hanzhong.

The city was deserted, the men were helping to clean up the houses, and the soldiers were busy tearing down the collapsed houses and lighting fires.

Twenty or thirty degrees below zero, they have never encountered this kind of temperature!

Especially Yang Zaixing, a native of Hunan, was frozen to a cold and fever that night when the Songhua River area cooled down......

Shi Biao said: "I can still fight, but the corporal has a lot of injuries." Most of my soldiers with Gu Sange are from Sichuan and Hubei, and some are from Hanzhong. It's too cold for the soldiers to stand it. ”

What a!

If there is another heavy snowfall on the way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack in a hurry, because the snow is too deep to march.

Yang Zaixing was wrapped in a quilt: "I can't ride a horse anymore, and it's difficult to speak." Sore throat. ”

Wang Zheng reminded: "By the time the boats were collected, the river was almost frozen. ”

"Let's rest for the winter first, so that the soldiers can recuperate in peace." Yang Yun clapped his hands and said.

Everyone had to continue on the overland route, and just after crossing the Songwa River (Songhua River), suddenly it snowed heavily.

Longzhou is Nong'an County, Changchun City, and it was called Huanglongfu when it was Liao.

Hua Rong said: "The fire soldiers can still fight." But the weather was too cold, the loading speed was extremely slow, and the hands were so cold that they couldn't obey the call. ”

Everyone continued to march in the snow, until the city of Daru stopped advancing, and the whole army hid in the city to resist the wind and snow.

The people led the horses and mules, and carried grain and grass to follow.

Hua Rong led three thousand musketeers, and Xu Ning led one thousand pikemen, also on horseback.

"The soldiers whose hometowns are in Sichuan, Hubei, and Huainan are the most sick or frostbitten," Yang Yun called a meeting of the generals, "This place is about two hundred miles away from the capital of the Jin Kingdom." Either rush through the snow and take Shangjing regardless of casualties. Or wait until the spring warms up, and then attack Shangjing. What are your thoughts? ”

"Of my 1,000 soldiers, nearly 200 are sick." Gu San said.

The army not only brought enough food, grass and clothing, but also brought enough doctors and medicinal herbs. In addition to accidental frostbite, the main thing for the soldiers of the Ming army is cold and flu, and they may be able to adapt to it after a while.

When the weather clears, you can also fight in winter.

Two days later, Ma Kuo, who had returned from Mobei some time ago, arrived here with more than a dozen light horses.

Ma Kuo said: "From the Monan grassland to Liaodong, Your Majesty has sent 150,000 troops, each returning to their original station. His Majesty also returned to Liaoyang at this time, and Liaodong has cooled down in advance this year, and it is definitely impossible to fight anymore, so he sent me over to deal with the beginning. ”

Yang Zaixing's cold and fever are almost better, but he still coughs often. He asked in surprise: "Do you want to negotiate peace with Jin Guo?" ”

"The situation here is complicated. The Jurchen tribes can't kill all, if they go into the deep mountains and old forests, how should my Ming soldiers be recruited? But the Kingdom of Jin must be destroyed, and there can be no future troubles. ”

"Elect some riverside places that are convenient and can be cultivated as strongholds. Every year, criminals who are exiled to this tuntian must be criminals from the north, otherwise they will not be able to stand the cold. His Majesty said that all condemned prisoners in the northern provinces could be pardoned for exile and sent to this side in one go. ”

"Officers and men of all armies can also sign up and come here to garrison. Those who voluntarily come to this border will be promoted by two levels as a general, and one level as a soldier, and their parents and brothers will be able to obtain land in their hometown. If he has not yet married a wife, he shall give the daughters of the officials of the Kingdom of Jin as his wife. If the officials did not have enough women, they would force unmarried women of all ethnic groups to marry Ming soldiers. ”

"The Jurchen tribes, if they are willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty, demarcate the territory for them, and grant the Ming official position. No tribe shall cross the border against its neighbors, and if any offender destroys his tribe!" ”

"The imperial court plans to set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and the administrative office will be in the capital of the Jin Kingdom."

"The prefect of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, called the Anton Metropolitan Protector, is a three-rank martial artist. Five-year term, up to two consecutive terms. At the end of the ten-year period, you can be promoted to the Privy Council, and you will also have the opportunity to join the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister. ”

"General Li Cheng has asked himself to stay, and His Majesty has agreed to let him serve as the protector of Anton. After the beginning of spring, he will rush to work. ”

"On the side of Linhuang Mansion (Bahrain Left Banner), the imperial court will also set up the Linhuang Protectorate. The first Linhuang Protector has been selected as General Yue Fei. ”

Ma Kuo said a lot in a row, and the generals were stunned when they heard it.

The so-called Andong Protectorate has jurisdiction over Jilin and Heilongjiang in later generations, as well as all areas outside Heilongjiang.

The jurisdiction of the Linhuang Protectorate is Chengde and Jianchang in the south, Xing'an League in the north, Keshiketeng Banner in the west, and Horqin grassland in the east.

Whether it is a steppe tribe or a Jurchen tribe, all the territories are demarcated.

Fight for life and death, only within their respective territories.

Once the army crossed the line, it would be warned by the imperial court. If you still don't listen to the warnings many times, the Metropolitan Protectorate will inevitably send troops, and will bring other tribes to destroy the disobedient tribes together.

The various tribes under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate did not pay heavy taxes. If you receive a conscription order, you must send troops to help the capital to fight.

In addition, the heads of each department must visit the Governor regularly every year, and if there is any injury or illness, he must also send his son.

Every five years, you must enter Beijing to meet the emperor, and you have to bring local products as tribute.

Zhu Ming also planned to set up the Monan Metropolitan Protectorate, and the administrative office would follow the Southwest Road of the Liao State (east of Hohhot City). This institution was very important, it could deter Mobei and also attack Western Xia.

……

"Meet the horse angels, meet the generals!"

The peace envoy of the Kingdom of Jin came on the snow.

The second son of Wu Qimai is Wanyan Zonggu, and the deputy envoy is Li Shi, a civil official of the Bohai tribe.

Wanyan Zonggu has not been on the battlefield so far, and since Wu Qimai was set aside, the ministers have not allowed their brothers to lead troops.

When he was a teenager, he was used to hearing that the Jin soldiers were invincible.

When he became an adult, he was full of how ferocious the Ming army was.

Even, this is the first time he has left Shangjing. He is not very familiar with political affairs, nor does he understand military affairs at all, and his vision and ability are very mediocre.

Seeing the generals of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, Wanyan Zonggu was quite scared, and let Li Shi say anything first, afraid that if one was not good, he would anger anyone.

Ma Kuogao was in the main position and said with a smile: "Mr. Li has something to say, I have obtained His Majesty's will and can negotiate with Jin Guo with full power." ”

Li Shi said: "My lord is willing to surrender to the great emperor, and everything follows the story of Western Xia." To the west of Zhaosan City, to the south of Hanju, to the west of the Yazi River (Nenjiang), and to the south of Tongmenshui (Tumen River), these lands are all willing to be dedicated to the Son of Tomorrow. ”

Ma Kuo sneered: "Zhaosan City and Hanzhou have long been captured by my Ming soldiers. Do you want to return it all to Jinguo? ”

"That'...... These two lands are also dedicated to the Son of Tomorrow. Li Shi hurriedly said.

Ma Kuo said: "The Huanglong Mansion of the Liao State, you are now called Longzhou. It is also in the hands of the Ming soldiers, do they have to return it to the Jin State? ”

Li Shi really didn't dare to give in anymore, because he couldn't explain to Wu Qimai.

Once the Ming army occupies Huanglong Mansion, it will be able to kill the Jin Kingdom and go to Beijing anytime and anywhere.

Li Shi said: "Whether Longzhou is ceded or not, the ministers dare not decide. ”

Ma Kuo looked at Wanyan Zonggu: "What about you?" You are the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, can't you call the shots? ”

Wanyan Zonggu did not answer positively, but said: "There is a young sister below, and I am willing to dedicate it to the son of tomorrow." As a slave and a servant, listen to the meaning of the Son of Heaven. The young sister has been brought, and the angel can take a look first. ”

For this kind of thing, Ma Kuo is not qualified to refuse for the emperor.

Wu Qimai's youngest daughter was soon brought in, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and was born to a concubine of the Bohai tribe. Maybe it's because the mother's genes are good and she looks quite good. But it's just delicate, and it's really not a beauty.

Ma Kuo said angrily: "With such a posture, you can also enter the harem of the great tomorrow?" Who is Wu begging to buy for entertainment! ”

Wanyan Zonggu hurriedly explained: "Among the younger sisters below, the younger sister is already the most beautiful. Still...... There is also the first beauty in Beijing, which was also brought this time. In addition, I also brought a lot of pearls (East Pearl) and mink. ”

All kinds of gifts were brought up, and one of them was the size of a pigeon's egg.

Ma Kuo and the generals couldn't take their eyes off the "No. 1 beauty in Beijing".

Suddenly, Ma Kuan came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Don't stare arbitrarily. Such a beauty, only the great tomorrow is impressive, hurry up and put on a veil for her. ”

Wanyan Zonggu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately introduced: "This woman's original name was Yelu Ci Oye, and she was the youngest daughter of Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom. Nine years ago, she was captured along with the Liao royal family. At that time, she was only four years old and lived with her sister in the house of Hulubu. After the death of Hulu, her sister was taken over by the Luguan, and she followed her. ”

"The longer this girl grows, the more beautiful she becomes, and she is no longer inferior to her sister Yu Liyan. There are many nobles in Beijing who ask to marry, but they have never married at a young age. ”

"Such a beauty can only be obtained by the son of tomorrow. Her father has accepted her as a righteous daughter, named Princess Yiguo, and changed her name to Wanyan Maitreya. If the two countries can get married, it will be a good conversation for the princess of Jin to serve the son of tomorrow. ”

When this beauty was veiled, Ma Kuo stopped talking about it, but asked: "Those generals of the Jin Kingdom have their hands covered with Han blood. As the son of heaven of the Han family, how can my emperor not seek justice for his subjects? This person was killed by the army in the past. From Hebei to Henan, how many people were killed by his soldiers? The vultures do not die, and the matter of peace talks is adjourned. ”

Wanyan Zonggu and Li Shi glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

Jin Wushu also belonged to Wu Qimai's political enemies, and he had a share of the Emperor of the Void, and he also had a little prestige in the army.

Even if Da Ming didn't propose to kill the Golden Vulture, Wu Qimai would have to find an opportunity to do it sooner or later.

Wanyan Zonggu said: "The head of the vultures will be presented soon. ”

Ma Kuo smiled: "Then wait until you kill the vultures before we talk about it." ”
