Win the Ding 1617

The secret peace mission of the Ming Dynasty, headed by Ma Shaoyu, a doctor of the Ministry of War, arrived at Tashan on the third day of March and stayed for four days. Fly to Guangning.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Huang Taiji sent officials to Tashan to meet him; on the seventh day of the first day, he left Tashan and came north, and arrived at Guangning on the tenth day.

At that time, Huang Taiji, who was officially called "Old Han" by the Ming Dynasty, was not in a hurry to summon the members of Ma Shaoyu's mission.He maintained the habits of nomads, unlike the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who shut himself up in the Forbidden City for a whole year and his whole life, without seeing society.After presiding over the surrender ceremony of Zu Dashou and a group of people, he also dealt with several important military and political affairs. At noon on the eleventh day, he led a group of Kabush sages with Empress Zhezhe, Concubine Zhuang and nephews of Yongfu Palace. Accompanied by soldiers, Zu Dashou and others, they rode out of the Yiwulu mountain camp together. In the name of inspecting the royal pastures, they saw several grazing cattle and horses, and they also shot and hunted at any time.In order to demonstrate the style of martial arts in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to showing the emperor's grace to the newly surrendered people such as Zu Dashou and Wang Pu, another purpose is to polish the temperament of Ma Shaoyu, the negotiating mission.

However, even though he left the big camp, during his time away from the big camp, in response to important military and national affairs, the academicians of the three inner courtyards would send people to report on flying horses at any time.Regarding the hospitality of the envoys of Yihe of the Ming Dynasty, they all followed his instructions.On the morning of March [-]th, several Han ministers including Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian went out to welcome the envoy Ma Shaoyu twenty miles away and hosted a banquet in hospitality.According to the etiquette agreed by the two parties: when the banquet was opened, the envoy of Ming Dynasty bowed to the north once and kowtowed three times.The envoy Ma Shaoyu considered this etiquette as a thank you to the Qing emperor, but Bao Chengxian and others proudly called it "Xie En".

On the night of the [-]th, Huang Taiji ordered the Ministry of Rites to take charge of Mandarhan, participate in politics, Ahanikan, Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin, and Luo Shuotong, scholars of the Inner Academy, to the place where Ma Shaoyu and others stayed.Invite Ming Guoyi and envoys.The two parties still followed the rules of the first banquet to salute.After the banquet, Mandarhan and others asked the envoys of the Ming Dynasty for the letter of peace.Ma Shaoyu and others said that they brought Emperor Chongzhen to give an edict to Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War sent them to discuss peace by following the imperial edict.Man Dahan and others received the imperial edict from Chongzhen to Chen Xinjia, looked at it, and said that they needed to go to the palace to report to the Ming emperor, and then decided how to start the discussion.

next morning.On the bank of the Liaohe River, on a high slope where the ice and snow melted and the vegetation began to turn green, a yellow felt tent was tied up. Inside the tent, Huang Taiji sat on the ground, while Man Dahan, Fan Wencheng, and Gang Lin sat on the left and right, studying the imperial edict of Chongzhen brought by the Ming envoy Ma Shaoyu. .Huang Taiji didn't know Chinese, and Man Dahan only knew a little bit.They listened to Fan Wencheng read the Imperial Book, and then translated it sentence by sentence in Manchu.The Chinese imperial edict wrote: "Chen Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: According to the report of the Qing Ministry yesterday, there has been no definite report on the suspension of soldiers and civilians that was ordered the day before yesterday. Because the officials have not been sent to Shen, there is no sound. Now approve the Ministry. To act cheaply, send officials to investigate the situation. Special order!"

After hearing the secret edict, Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and said: "I sent envoys to ask for peace, but the Ming emperor deliberately didn't use the letter of credence, and only asked the envoys to bring a piece of paper he gave to the Ministry of War. Secret edict, it’s not easy to do things! Is this edict real?”

Fan Wencheng replied in Manchu: "The slave just showed it to Zu Dashou and others, and they said it was indeed written by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. The 'Emperor's Treasure' stamped on it is also true."

Huang Taiji nodded in satisfaction, and showed Zu Dashou and others the imperial edict.Not only let them be responsible for identifying the authenticity, but also make them follow their own path with all their heart.Look, your emperor is about to make peace, what else do you have to worry about and feel guilty about?

He smiled proudly and said, "Since it was written by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the stamped letter is also true. You and Ganglin will discuss with the envoys of the Southern Dynasty. Ganglin understands Chinese, so it is convenient to discuss matters. Hmph, he thinks he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is the son of heaven, and he despises others. The last time the envoy was sent with his imperial edict to the Minister of War. That tone is outrageous, very arrogant..." He looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, "Do you remember that in March this year? , What did his imperial edict say? Do you remember?"

Fan Wencheng took out a piece of paper from the protector and said: "At that time, the slave obeyed the order and returned the original to the kings and Baylor who were stationed in Jinzhou and Xingshan, and threw it back to the envoy, but copied a copy and kept it. That edict It reads: "Chen Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: According to the performance of the Qing Ministry, Liao and Shen have the intention of resting the army and resting the people. Those who did not believe it in China and North Korea are also because the previous governors and governors did not follow the truth. Today, the Qing Ministry has repeatedly replaced Chen. Try to keep it from the heart. Our country is open-minded and far-sighted, and it seems that it is not difficult to listen to it. I will look up to the benevolence of God to restore the old relationship with my ancestors. Today, the special minister is doing things cheaply, and the official announced that he will take It’s true that the news is playing back!’” Fan Wencheng then read the attached Manchu translation, which made Huang Taiji laugh out loud.

"After being reprimanded by me last time, the envoys were not allowed to come. The imperial edict issued by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty this time is a little more honest, but not completely honest. We don't care about the emperor's edict, it is also good for our country to discuss peace with the Southern Dynasty. You understand the policy of destroying the Southern Dynasty. It is necessary to start the peace negotiation in favor of our Qing Dynasty. Remember, there can be peace only when there is war. I wonder what kind of peace terms this envoy brought here?"

"My servant has tested Ma Shaoyu a few times, and he has a very tight mouth. However, according to what he said, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty might want to break the siege of Guangning first, let Hong Chengchou and tens of thousands of people go back to Ningyuan, and then start negotiations on the peace talks between the two parties." .”

"Chongzhen boy, what a good plan! He really thinks that I am old and confused? If I open the door and let Hong Chengchou's tens of thousands go back to Ningyuan, he is afraid that he will come back after a few days of rest in Ningyuan! Over the past few years, tens of thousands of soldiers have spent countless money and food to open up the situation. Isn’t it just a dream? A bubble?! Tell Ma Shaoyu! If you want to talk about peace, let’s talk about it, if you don’t want to talk about it , I don't mind asking him to watch how I conquer Guangning!"

For Huang Taiji and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, the tens of thousands of Hong Dushi undoubtedly occupied an extremely important position in their hearts.For Chongzhen, these tens of thousands of people are nothing more than the last bit of property, so no matter what, they must be rescued by Hong Dushi.With this wealth, he still has a little confidence in speaking internally and externally.

But Huang Taiji regards Hong Chengchou, Ma Ke, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others as his hostages and bargaining chips.With these tens of thousands of horses in the encirclement, he can bargain with Chongzhen and get things from the negotiating table that he can't get on the battlefield!

Unlike Ma Shaoyu, who hardly offered negotiating terms.Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, Man Dahan, Gang Lin and others were confident.Come up with a set of negotiating conditions.

In addition to those we have seen before, it is more specific that Huang Taiji was granted the title of King of Liao and commanded the two guards of Liao and Shen, thinking of Daming Pingfan.At the same time, all parts of Liaoshen are still the territory of Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty still has jurisdiction over Liaoshen.Civil servants can be regularly sent to various places in Liaoshen to serve as officials in various places.The Qing army was also the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court allocated no less than 20 silver dollars and 30 shi of grain to the Qing army every year.

In order to ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty bestowed the Liao King Huang Taiji with a Yue to conquer the non-submissive Mongolia, Sauron, Korea, Japan and other regions.

Discussion fields are open at various places on the border. Except for the trade stipulated in the tribute trade, both parties adopt the principle of freedom in all other trade activities, allowing all parties to buy and sell freely.The Ming court can send personnel to collect various customs duties in accordance with customs regulations, and all systems are the same as those in the mainland.

The terms of the agreement were made after repeated deliberations by think tanks such as Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng.For the Ming Dynasty.It can be described as an unprecedented political victory.Of course, only in name.The Liaodong rebels accepted the call for peace, and all parts of Liaoshen returned to the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court sent officials to manage it.

The face was obtained by the Ming Dynasty, but the insides belonged to the Liao thieves.From when Nurhachi rebelled, his goal was to imitate Altan Khan and become another Shunyi king. After obtaining the confirmation of the imperial title, he opened border market trade.

If the agreement and terms are reached according to these conditions.In name, the Liaodong rebels were chieftains or vassals of the Ming court.Follow the example of Qin Liangyu and San Niangzi.

During the leisure time, Fan Wencheng also said meaningfully to Ma Shaoyu: "The Liao affairs eased, and the Ming court can send soldiers from the nine borders to the Central Plains to pacify the bandits. In a few years, the whole world will be at peace again in the Ming Dynasty!"

With this credit, Ma Shaoyu seems to have seen the moment when he entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister.

but.The things in front of me are difficult to handle.How can you specialize in such an important matter?He could only order someone to fly to Ningyuan, take a fast boat to go to Tianjin, and then go to the capital to report to Chen Xinjia.Please Master Chen play the emperor's decision on your behalf.

At the end of the memorial, Ma Shaoyu deliberately added a sentence. "Here, day and night, we hear the continuous sound of cannons, all of which are bombarded in Guangning. I am stupid, and I implore Your Majesty to make a holy order as soon as possible."

Carefully and cautiously wrapped the melody, sealed it with wax paint, and made secret marks in some places according to the agreement with Chen Xinjia.After completing these tasks, Ma Shaoyu handed over the documents to his confidant and ordered him to go to Ningyuan.

For safety on the road, Fan Wencheng specially sent ten cavalrymen to escort them along the way.

However, they have calculated thousands of times, but they have forgotten that there is a thing in this world called interest.There is a group or force called a vested interest group.

It is no secret among the high-ranking Liao thieves that the emperor ordered people to discuss peace with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and many people even knew the detailed terms clearly.

How can such a thing be hidden from the Dorgon brothers whose power has expanded and expanded to other places?

This peace agreement, which is of great benefit to Huang Taiji's faction, was placed in front of the Dorgon brothers in Jinzhou City before the messenger set off.

"If the peace negotiation is really successful, it is estimated that it will take ten years at most, and our brothers will be finished!"

Hearing the confidant servant finish reading the terms of the agreement to himself, Dorgon put down his cigarette pouch, and poured cold water on the heads of one brother and the other in a cold manner.

"Second brother, why do you say that?"

"The peace negotiation has been completed, and the fat black man's reputation is at the height of the sky. There is no one in the Eight Banners who can compare with him. With the great contribution of the peace negotiation, the contribution of our bloody battle on Tashan seems insignificant. This person is mean and few. Well, it belongs to the typical thing that can share adversity but not wealth. With these border markets, he monopolized the channel of our foreign trade in the Qing Dynasty, and monopolized external trade. The family of the black fat man is It is truly supreme! I will live on my breath. After a little time, he will take advantage of the advantage in his hand and smash my two white flags to pieces! You and I, without soldiers, horses and slaves, are reckless The fate of Gurtai and Amin!"

His words painted a terrifying but absolutely true prospect for Azig and Duoduo brothers.Hearing this, the two brothers were terrified and almost kicked open the door to escape.

"Second brother, how do you say we can save ourselves?"

"It's very simple! Let the guy on the other side know the terms of this agreement. At this point. He is our best ally. He knows how to do it!"

Sure enough, after receiving the reasons for the peace talks and detailed terms quietly sent by Dorgon, the Guan Ning army headed by Wu Sangui launched an attack that was even crazier than when Li Huamei supervised the battle behind him!

In three days, two key points, Baitai Mountain and Hongluo Mountain, were conquered consecutively.

Guan Ningjun can be said to be red-eyed from top to bottom.

If the peace talks are achieved, the war in Liaodong will stop.So.There is no war anymore, what is the use of the Liaodong Army Town?I'm afraid our status will be the same as that of Qin Jun from now on!The imperial court will no longer appropriate the same amount of money and food as the sea, so what shall we eat?what to wear?for what?Is it really relying on the soil to eat? !

For money, go!Countless Ningyuan Army and Shanhai Navy officers roared from the bottom of their hearts.

"For Daming! For Jiangshan Sheji, for Guangning's robes, kill!" Wu Sangui naturally couldn't be as vulgar as these Qiuba uncles, he swung his sword and looked sharply at Azig's golden dragon banner in the distance.

A little farther away from the Tashan battlefield, there are golden dragon banners on both sides.Dorgon and Duoduo rode horses and stood side by side. The two brothers watched their elder brother from a distance and also understood some of the desperate fighting methods of the Guan Ning army.

Under the crazy attacks of Ningyuan Town and Shanhai Town commanded by Wu Sangui, Azig gradually became difficult to support, and the two white flag troops began to retreat slowly.

"Straight mother, why don't you fight like this!" Although Duoduo had experienced repeated bitter battles with Li Huamei, as a bystander, he still had lingering fears when he saw this bloody scene.

Dorgon waved the whip in his hand and said, "You know what, this is several million silver every year!"

But Duoduo didn't take it seriously: "I think it's better to just let Wu Sangui, a mad dog, go there. Second brother, you said that we were beaten so badly in Sword Mountain and Arrow Forest. The fat black man behind is not only ungrateful, but also thinking about what to do all day long. Get rid of us. I've heard that many people are saying what will happen if they guard Tashan. Damn, let them try to go to Tashan. They can withstand the fire of Li Huamei's crazy tiger If I don’t pee my pants for three days, I’ll kowtow to them and admit my mistake.”

"Master, do you want the slaves to bring people up to reinforce Prince Ying?!" Cao Zhenyan, who was already Jueluo, wore the red belt that marked his identity around his waist, and waved the long knife in his hand to ask for a fight.

"No, tell Prince Ying to withdraw. Let's withdraw! Return to Jinzhou!" Dorgon narrowed his eyes.Looking at Wu Sangui's handsome flag at the end of the line of sight.

"Second brother, withdraw back to Jinzhou? Then what should we do here?" Duoduo was a little confused. How could the second brother, who had never backed down even a single step under Li Huamei's cannon fire, become so depressed in front of Wu Sangui's insignificant offensive?

"You don't understand what I mean, but the guy on the other side will definitely understand!" For Wu Sangui, who is under the command of the opposite commander, Dorgon has already developed a sense of confidant towards him at this time.

In order to continue to occupy the position of trade control between the Eight Banners and the merchants in the Mainland, mainly Long Shengxing, he did not hesitate to give up the Tashan blocking position to prevent Huang Taiji from negotiating peace.Because the benefits gained from these business activities are an astonishing number, reaching millions of silver dollars every year!Relying on these silvers, he was able to consolidate the interior of the two white flags, feed the wrapped soldiers, and infiltrate and win over the rest of the flags.Without this status, although he and his two brothers would not be eliminated by Huang Taiji immediately, they were also cattle and sheep under the knife and could be slaughtered at any time.The opposite coach, Wu Sangui, is fighting for his own interests and the interests of the entire Liaodong Army Town!Two words, Liao pay!

After Wu Sangui conquered Baitai Mountain and Hongluo Mountain in succession, he went all out and planted the battle flag on the top of Tashan Fort.It became the best record the Ming army has achieved since Governor Hong was trapped in Guangning after the outbreak of the Liaoxi War!

Along with the good news spread to the capital, there was also Wu Sangui's open letter.

"During the bloody battle between Liaodong and Donglu, I learned from the leader of the slaves that there was an official in the imperial court named Ma Shaoyu who claimed to have a secret decree from the emperor and went out to discuss peace with the Liao thieves. I also read books, but I haven't heard of it. When there was a bloody battle between the imperial army and the thieves, the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate peace with them. If so, where would the tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers under the command of Governor Hong be placed in the ice and snow? Where are the father and daughter of Ningyuan and the soldiers under his command who escaped the storm and came to Liaodong? Hundreds or thousands of soldiers under his command were buried at the foot of Tashan Mountain, not to mention those who were smashed to pieces at Hongluo Mountain. If there are treacherous officials in the court who intend to betray the country and seek glory , I should get on my horse with tears in my eyes, first kill the Liao thieves, and then lead my Liaodong disciples to the capital to express our love to the princes of the court."

Behind Wu Sangui's inscription on the victory of Lubu, there are appendices the identities and resumes of the negotiating officials, as well as the secret edict written by Chongzhen to Chen Xinjia, and at the same time, the terms of the peace negotiation between the two parties.

As a result, there was an uproar immediately between the capital and the government and the opposition. (To be continued..)

ps: Then I have to brazenly ask for a monthly pass.
