Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 650
"Tar chieftain Shunzhi and regent Daishan and Jierhalang sent envoys to kowtow, pay tribute, and ask their relatives to stop the army. The captive envoy sent a thousand taels of gold, another hundred catties of ginseng, and a hundred pieces of mink fur."

"I also sent three golden bowls, made of the skulls of the three brothers Dorgon, Azige, and Duoduo inlaid with gold."

"And sent Dorgon's three wives, concubines, and maidservants to a hundred, and the three brothers' daughters to all 12."

"Princess Kunxing, the daughter of Emperor Lie, was also sent here. Her husband Zhou Xian is the deputy envoy of the captive regiment. The princess is three months pregnant."

······
After returning from the Guozijian, Liu Chao came in and brought up the matter of the Tartar embassy coming to sue for peace.Zhu Yihai didn't care about the Tartars seeking peace.

Two years ago, he was willing to deal with them for a while, which was a way to delay the attack, but now there is no need for it.

But this time the Tartars actually spent a lot of money, and even offered so many sincere conditions.

The golden ginseng and mink skins were nothing more than 3 to [-] taels of silver, but they actually made the skulls of the three Dorgon brothers into golden bowls and sent them here.

"The servants have brought all the golden bowls, please have a look at the saint."

As Liu Chao said, he brought a box, opened it, and there were three bowls in it, which was shocking at first glance.

The bowl is composed of three parts: the bowl cover, the bowl body and the bowl holder. The bowl cover button is inlaid with huge gemstones, and there are four entangling golden lotuses engraved around the cover button, and the auspicious eight treasure patterns are also chiseled on the cover.

The upper part of the bowl holder is a circular pedestal, the girdle is carved with gold and inlaid with a circle of gemstones, and the three sides are decorated with golden human heads, the surrounding and the surface of the bowl holder are decorated with chain patterns, lotus flowers are gilded, and the bottom plate is engraved with Chinese, Mongolian, Mongolian and Chinese. Tibetan four languages, a long scriptures.

"This is made by the emperor of the Yellow Sect, and it is said to be a Tibetan magic weapon."

Zhu Yihai watched, but didn't reach out to take it.

"Back then, the demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia dug the imperial tomb of the Song Dynasty privately, stole property from the tomb, and made Song Lizong's skull into a human bone bowl. Is it like this?"

"Indeed, this magic weapon is called Gabala Bowl."

Zhu Yihai looked at the three bowls, the skulls inlaid with gold and gemstones, they were once the famous Three Kings of Tartars.Especially the skull in the middle, used to be the regent of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but now the Tartars actually made him into a bowl and gave it to Zhu Yihai for peace.

"Dorgon seems to have a daughter?"

"Yes, the original Dong'e Gege was also sent this time. She is the only daughter of Dorgon."

After Dorgon died, he was buried with the ceremony of the emperor, and he was also named Emperor Yi. As a result, he was dug up, opened the coffin and slaughtered the corpse. Who would have thought that not only that, but also made the skull into a wine vessel and even gave it to everyone. Tomorrow?
Daishan and Jierhalang, the two old guys, don't respect their brothers too much.

Especially Daishan, who is also their half-brother with the same father.

It seemed that the Tartars were really in a hurry and couldn't hold on anymore.

Last year, Jinan and Yanzhou were defeated in two battles, and tens of thousands of people were massacred. Many famous kings and generals such as Boluo, Tan Tai, and Tulai fell. Now Luke Dehun in Yingzhou and Li Guohan and Obai in Baocheng It may also be unbearable at any time.

Huguang Jingxiang is also holding on.

The whole situation is at stake.

Tartar is in a hurry, really in a hurry.

"The envoy of the Tartars said that they are willing to take the Yellow River as the boundary and the new Yellow River channel as the boundary. They are willing to take the initiative to withdraw troops from Yingcheng, Nanyang, Huguang, and Hanzhong in Henan to cross the Yellow River."

"That's it?" Zhu Yihai disdainfully.

"They also said that they were willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty recognizes the Manchu Qing and the two countries have equal exchanges, they are willing to use the Yellow River as the boundary. Year-old gifts of ten thousand taels of gold, one million taels of platinum, one thousand catties of ginseng, one thousand pieces of mink fur,
The two sides trade with each other, escort each other's fugitives, and never commit crimes again. "

"Hmph," Zhu Yihai was very disdainful.

Although the conditions of the Tartars were already very aggrieved, and they didn't even want any face. Before, they exchanged ginseng and mink skins for Zhu Yihai's gold and silver, and even asked for food, but now it's their tribute.

Pay tribute every year, ceding the south of the Yellow River, and only ask Daming to let them go.

The terms offered were all so sincere. If Zhu Yihai really wanted to negotiate a peace, and then bargained, it is estimated that not only the annual currency could be increased, but even if Guanzhong was taken back, they might all give in.

But the question is, since they are so powerless to negotiate terms with Daming, why does Zhu Yihai still have to negotiate a peace?
It's fine if you can't hit it directly.

In other words, why did the Tartars trust Daming?
Aren't they afraid that Daming will tear up the agreement and send troops after taking over Huguang and other places after receiving the annual tribute?

It's impossible for Tartar to be so stupid.

Must also have a plan.

"The Tartars probably wanted to save Yingzhou Luck Dehun, Hanzhong Li Guohan, Aobai and other soldiers, and took this opportunity to send troops back to help protect Beijing."

"The so-called peace negotiation is probably true or false. After the peace negotiation, the soldiers will be withdrawn to gather to defend Beijing. If I, Daming, are really willing, they will probably want more, and they will get a breathing space." Zhu Yihai saw through it at a glance.

Liu Chao really didn't think of this before, and he couldn't help sighing, "These Tartars are really treacherous."

"The Tartars are quite willing to spend their money." Zhu Yihai glanced at the three bowls.

"I just don't know if this thing is real. Have you seen the wives, concubines and daughters of the three Dorgon brothers they sent?"

"The slaves specially went to Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi and other officials who had surrendered to the northern prisoner, and they recognized that some of them were Fujin and Fujin of the three brothers of Dorgon, whom they had met before.

The three Dorgon brothers had many wives and concubines. For example, Dorgon had seven concubines in Fujin and four concubines, as well as many concubines. There were five Mongolian women in Fujin, one Manchurian, and one Korean.Among Mongolia's five Fujin tribes, the Horqin tribe has four, and the Zarmang tribe has one.

Empress Xiao Yu'er is also Xiaoduan's younger sister and Xiaozhuang's aunt.It can also be said that Xiaoduan and Xiaozhuang are both sisters, because Empress Yi's mother was originally the wife of her grandfather and gave birth to Xiaoduan. Xiaoduan is a sister of the same mother, but this elder sister was born to her grandfather and her mother, and she can be called aunt or sister, while Xiaozhuang is the daughter of her uncle.

Joseon Fujin is the great-great-great-granddaughter of Joseon Seongjong, Princess Feng.

Three of the four concubines were the daughters of Mongolian princes, and one was the daughter of Chahar Lindan Khan and Dou Tumen Fujin. Huang Taiji adopted her as an adopted daughter and married her younger brother Dorgon.

There is only one Li family, but she is also a Korean woman, and Dong'e Gege was born by her.

Azige also had many wives and concubines, two of them were the daughters of ministers and ministers of Han army bannermen, one from the Li family and the other from the Yu family.

Duoduo is lustful and has more wives and concubines. One of his Fujins is also the younger sister of Empress Yi. The other Fujins, Nala, Tongjia, Guarjia, Yiergenjueluo, etc., are all Manchurian nobles. Later, among the concubines, there were also Han women.

Fan Wencheng's wife, who had been occupied by Duoduo for three months, was also sent here.

I don't know what Fan Wencheng's mood is in Beijing at this time. He was robbed of his wife and occupied for three months. Later, Huang Taiji decided to come back, but now he is sent to Daming as Duoduo's concubine. Who is he looking for? Reasoning?
Daishan and the others probably wouldn't pay attention to him either.

Not only did they bring Fan Wencheng's wife as Duoduo's concubine, but they also took the twelve daughters of the three of their brothers, five of whom were married, away from their husband's house and sent them here together. State.

Zhu Yihai is not interested in Fan Wencheng's wife.

"Is the princess okay?"

Princess Kunxing is the daughter of Chongzhen. Her mother died of dystocia when she was born. Later, she was brought up by Queen Zhou herself. She fell into a pool of blood and passed out. Chongzhen thought she was dead, so she went to Meishan to hang herself.

The princess survived by accident, and was later sent to Zhou Guozhang's home.The princess asked her to become a nun, but the Qing court refused. Later, she was allowed to marry her fiancé, Zhou Xian.

The marriage was completed last year. It is said that although this Zhou Xian has no backbone, he is still kind to the princess. The princess is still a few months pregnant.

The Tartars sent the princess directly this time, and even made Zhou Xian the deputy envoy.

"Change the title to Princess Changping, seal 3000 households, give Tokyo the first one, give 30 taels of silver, [-] servants, and give [-] acres of land, and Taiwan will give another thousand acres of land."

"Relax in Beijing and let King Zhongshan and King Hengshan visit my sister more often."

The day.

Zhu Yihai convened the prime minister and associate ministers at the prime minister's office to discuss this matter.

"The tartars seem to be panic-stricken, so they want to cut their arms to survive. This is good news for us, it shows that we played the right chess and hit their vital point."

Faced with the Tatars' initiative to seek peace, everyone also saw the intentions of the Tartars under the emperor's instructions.

However, Chen Qianfu still advocates that it is better to follow the tactics.

"It's better to pretend to agree with the Tartars to seek peace, but you can make more demands, such as asking the Tartars to withdraw from the pass, and then the next best thing is to ask them to hand over Huguang and Shaanxi."

Zhu Yihai smiled, knowing that Chen Qianfu was definitely not talking about peace.

"We can even squeeze gold and silver from the Tartars, so that they can return some important things in the Beijing Palace."

"When the Tartars thought we were sincerely negotiating peace, and then withdrew from Yingzhou, Yangnan, Jingxiang and other places to return north, we ambushed them halfway and wiped them out!"

This is somewhat unkind, without integrity.

But between countries, especially between Ming and Qing, there is no need to talk about that.

Although Baocheng and Yingzhou have been besieged for a long time, the morale of the defenders is low, but there are strong cities that refuse to defend, and there will still be heavy casualties. The siege will consume a lot of money.

Let them go back to the north, wait until they return halfway, and then block them along the way, the Tartars will definitely not be able to resist.

In the city, there is nowhere to go but to stay trapped.

But when you leave the city, it will be completely different. The will to fight will be disintegrated, and there will be no city to rely on, and you will lose.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you reject the Tazi's peace proposal, if you accept it, you can't do such a breach of trust, and you should be upright." It was the second assistant Qi Biaojia who spoke.

Zhu Yihai didn't take it seriously, "My Ming Dynasty and the Tartars have long had an undying hatred, and I have no faith with them. All I do is to defeat them and destroy them. As long as it is beneficial to us, it is fine.

Since the Tartars are in a hurry and want peace, then we can't miss this opportunity. Talk to them, let them not only withdraw from Huguang, Hanzhong and Henan, but also hand over Shaanxi, and let them send this year's annual tribute first, When the year-old tribute is delivered, I will agree to open the way for them to return north. "

"Let's ignore those in Huguang. Let's keep an eye on the Luke Dehun army in Yingzhou and Li Guohan in Baocheng. After they leave the city, we will immediately take over the city, cut off their retreat, and then block them along the way. Annihilation."

"If you destroy these two groups of Tartars, you will lose another arm of the Tartars, and then take advantage of the trend to seize Nanyang and attack Xiangyang. The entire Qing army in Huguang will be completely surrounded by our Ming army."

It's the time, and there's no need to be polite.
