Chapter 842 - 0837 [Can We Continue Talking]

On the way back, Wanyan Zonggu asked, "How should this be?" ”

"I don't know." Li Shi replied.

Li Shi belongs to the proper opportunistic faction, and he will not make a decision lightly until the situation is clear.

As soon as the situation becomes clear, make up your mind.

At the beginning, this person took refuge in the Jin State, and the first actual position he held was to work as a clerk under the command of Jin Wushu. He behaved very honestly and quietly, so he had an excellent personal relationship with the Golden Vultures.

However, it was he who framed the Golden Vulture by Luo Weaving, and it was he who killed the Golden Vulture in prison!

Now Da Ming wants to kill Wu Qimai in order to negotiate peace, and it also hints that Wanyan Zongpan can succeed to the throne. Li Shi couldn't figure out Wanyan Zongpan's thoughts, and it was impossible for him to show his attitude in this case.

Back to Shangjing.

Wanyan Zonggu thought about it and decided to find out the matter. When he reported to his father, he invited his brother to listen with him.

"Ma Kuo sowed discord," Wanyan Zonggu said, "He first lured us into killing the vultures, and now he said that he would kill my father before he could negotiate peace, and he also asked me to come back and discuss with my brother." Most of the Ming army is just delaying time, provoking our Dajin infighting, and then sending troops to kill after the beginning of spring. ”

After a long time, Wu Qimai finally spoke and said to his eldest son: "Don't think about it, and I can't think too much, otherwise you will fall for the southern thief's discordant plan." If you and my father and son kill each other, no matter who survives, there will be chaos in Kyoto. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongpan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I have no intention of killing my father!" ”

Wu Qimai did not speak, but thought silently.

The Huli of Jinguo has been rerouted, from Mudanjiang City and Jiamusi City, to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

Wanyan Zongpan finally couldn't help but speak: "What if the southern thieves order all the departments to go to Huligai to besiege us?" The southern thieves can change the city of Huli and give it to a tribe. Once we get into the mountains and forests, I am afraid that we will never be able to get out, and the city of Huligai will be occupied by other tribes. ”

Wanyan Zonggu asked: "When you move the capital, do you want to take away the rich families and craftsmen in the capital?" Do you want to take away the civil officials of all ethnic groups as well? ”

Wu Qimai said: "The Ming army is strong, we lack soldiers and food, and we can't resist it." can only move the capital to the east to hunt and temporarily avoid its edge. ”

Wu Qimai said: "With the looted goods, how much can be bought." ”

Wanyan Zongpan had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at this moment.

"Therefore, we can't tear our faces with the Ming Kingdom," Wu Qimai said, "When we leave, we will only kill those civil officials, not the people of all ethnic groups." The slave population taken away should not be too many, and the historical materials of the Liao State must be preserved. Migrated to Huligai, and immediately invited to the Dajin State to bow to the Ming Emperor. ”

Wu Qimai said: "If you can negotiate peace, you can still keep Dajin." The Ming Kingdom is unwilling to negotiate peace, how can Dajin still exist? The Ming State did not need to send troops, but only needed to send envoys to the various ministries to recruit the leaders, and they could turn Shangjing into an isolated city. ”

"Where is the right place to move the capital?" Wan Yan Zongpan asked.

"Isn't the Dajin Kingdom destroyed?" Wanyan Zongpan couldn't accept it.

The administrative office is located in Yilan, that is, at the confluence of the Songhua River and the Mudanjiang River.

Wu Qimai sighed: "When you leaked the military information to the Ming Kingdom, the reason why I acquiesced was because I wanted the Ming army and those traitors to lose both. But the Ming army is too strong, and those traitors are too weak. I was also dizzy, thinking that Emperor Zhu looked down on this remote and poor place. Alas......"

Wanyan Zonggu said: "The southern thieves are really too deceitful, they all promised to cede the land and claim the ministers, but they are not good at giving up!" ”

Wanyan Zongpan was speechless for a moment.

Wanyan Zonggu said: "Although there are still a few thousand remnants left, most of them have fled from the front line. The generals and soldiers were frightened, and there were not many of them who came out of my face. If you kill civil officials, rob rich households, and move the capital, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be dispersed immediately. The soldiers may have fled back to their hometowns, no longer obeying the Dajin Emperor, but submitting to the Ming Emperor Zhu. ”

Wanyan Zongpan said: "Your Majesty is right. ”

Wu Qimai said: "Only the craftsmen and the army were taken away. The civil officials of all ethnic groups are not credible, they may rebel against Jin at any time, and they will all be killed when the court meeting is held! Officials and wealthy families took out a part of the goods to reward the soldiers, and then captured some to the soldiers as slaves. ”

Wu Qimai said: "Moved to Huligai, which is hundreds of miles away from Shangjing. There are many mountains and forests on both sides of the Tongjiang River (the main stream of the Songhua River), so we took all the boats in Beijing with us, and after the river thawed, we moved to Huligai. If the southern thieves chase after us, we can go into the mountains and forests. ”

In fact, Wu begged to buy no regrets.

Even if he fled to Huli and became a tribal chieftain, it was better than staying in Shangjing to be a puppet emperor!

He's fed up with those days, snorting all day long, and even being dragged out and spanked.

Wanyan Zonggu said: "Since my father is willing to resign from the country, then I can still go to peace talks." Just tell the envoy of the Ming State that Dajin will be incorporated into the Ming Kingdom, and please be a vassal of the Ming Kingdom. Then the family moved to Huli to change, and guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations. There is no need for those civil officials to kill, just let them give some money and food. If they are officials in the Ming Kingdom, they can continue to speak for us. ”

Wu Qimai nodded slightly: "Feasible." ”

……

Midwinter.

Wanyan Zonggu went to negotiate peace again, and offered an extremely low price.

Ma Kuo was shocked.

This Wu begging can bend and stretch!

It's hard for Ma to refuse, because he still has to think about follow-up governance.

If Daming wants to maintain long-term stability in the Northeast region, it is nothing more than the following:

First, the Liaoning region of later generations was developed, and the Han population was multiplied, and the Bohai, Khitan and other ethnic groups were assimilated.

Second, the establishment of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, with the Jin Kingdom Shangjing as the center, radiates influence to the surrounding areas.

It is better to occupy Beijing peacefully, there are a lot of Han Chinese and Khitans here, and those Khitans also speak Chinese. As long as these populations are preserved, especially Han craftsmen, a lot of things can be saved for the imperial court.

The worst ending is to drive the emperor of Jin State crazy, burn down the city, and slaughter the people to be buried together.

In that case, the Ming court would have to slowly emigrate to Shibian.

Either way, you have to stabilize it first.

Ma Kuo said: "The stakes are very high, I can't make the decision, I have to send someone to ask His Majesty the Emperor." However, there are three points that must be explained, if Wu Qimai wants to be a minister, he must protect the historical materials and classics, and must not slaughter the people in Shangjing, and must not take away the Han, Khitan, and Bohai people in Shangjing. ”

This is called real negotiation, and it was nothing more than a conspiracy before!

Wanyan Zonggu said happily: "Please give a letter to the envoy before the river thaws." ”

Ma Kuo said: "I will send an army to Shangjing first to keep an eye on it to prevent you from moving the population." ”

After thinking carefully, Yan Zonggu said, "Send up to three hundred people." ”

"Yes." Ma Kuo immediately agreed.

Ma Kuo convened the generals to discuss: "I don't want to rob the generals of the destruction of the country, but if I can negotiate to take the Jin Kingdom and Shangjing, I can keep the houses and population over there." When the Anton Protectorate was established, the houses in the city did not need to be rebuilt, and the population did not have to re-migrate, which could save the imperial court countless troubles. All the generals are brave and loyal people, and when I return to the capital, I should pay tribute to you. ”

The generals looked at each other, and they were all a little unhappy.

Ma Kuo continued: "If we press too hard, we may send troops to kill. Wu Qimai knew that it was difficult to defend Beijing, so he would inevitably escape by boat. If he had enough time, he would have taken the population captive. If he flees in a hurry, he will surely burn the city and slaughter the people to ensure his future safety. He must be collecting ships at this time, taking all the ships away, how will we chase them then? ”

"Even if the generals want to fight, they will only acquire an empty city that has been burned to ruins and slaughtered its people. You can't catch Wu begging, he can even escape along the mixed river and Heilongjiang until he reaches the sea! ”

The generals thought seriously and thought that what Ma Kuo said was very reasonable.

There is not much difference between peace talks and sending troops to military generals.

Ma Kuo continued: "I will go and keep an eye on the Jin people, so that they will not take away the people, and the Jin people will allow me to bring 300 soldiers. I have already thought that I will bring one hundred and fifty heavy infantry soldiers, one hundred musketers, and fifty horsemen. ”

Saying that, Ma Kuo smiled treacherously: "Although there are not many soldiers, they are all elites. Maybe you can't wait for the beginning of spring, and you don't need to negotiate peace, and you can directly arrest Wu Qi in Shangjing! ”

The last few sentences made the eyes of the generals light up.

"I'll take the troops!"

"I must have brought the firecrackers."

"Don't rob anyone!"

“……”

One or two, they are all clamoring to go to Beijing.

Ma Kuo said: "The main general must be left here, if there is an accident in Shangjing, the troops will be sent immediately after the beginning of spring!" ”

Yang Yun had the highest military rank, and he said, "I'll stay." All branches of the army must leave behind their generals, and you will draw lots for yourselves. ”

Shi Biao and Gu San are both in command of the emperor's heavily armored guards, and one must be left here.

The two of them drew lots three times, and won two of the three games.

In the end, Shi Biao was left behind, and Gu San led his troops to Shangjing.

Hua Rong was unwilling to catch lots, so he directly asked the deputy general of the Shenji Army to stay and lead his troops to Shangjing.

Yang Zaixing learns Hua Rong......

Xu Ning was the most speechless, he was in charge of the middle armor pikemen, and Ma Kuo didn't bring his soldiers at all.

Two days later, Ma Kuo set off with Yang Zaixing, Gu San, Hua Rong, and three hundred Ming elites. The supplies were carried by horse-drawn sleighs, which were barely feasible even if the roads were closed by heavy snow due to the small number of troops.

They came to the outside of Shangjing City, and Wu Qimai quickly sent someone to greet them.

Zhang Hao arched his hand and said, "All angels can enter the city, but three hundred soldiers must be stationed outside the city." Every day, His Majesty will try his best to raise grain and grass, and deliver it to the barracks at noon every day. ”

Ma Kuo said angrily: "This is the sincerity of your country's peace talks? ”

Zhang Hao patted his ass and said: "The Ming soldiers are invincible in the world, and they can all be one hundred." Three hundred Ming troops are comparable to 30,000 gold soldiers, where does Your Majesty dare to let so many warriors enter the city? ”

The generals laughed when they heard it, and their hearts were still very comfortable.

Ma Kuo asked: "I don't bring a single soldier, what should you do if you turn your face?" ”

Zhang Hao couldn't make the decision, so he could only send someone to ask Wu to beg for help.

The two sides bargained and allowed Ma Kuo to bring fifty men into the city, and the rest of the soldiers had to be stationed outside the city.

Ma Kuo consulted with the generals and decided to bring 30 cavalry and 20 musketeers in.

After setting up the army outside the city, Ma Kuo also entered the city with fifty soldiers.

The barracks where the rest of the soldiers were located were surrounded by 2,000 gold soldiers. Always on the lookout!
