Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

532. Yinzhen's thoughts

Founding son, Tongzhi Jixianyuan Zhengzi (from the fifth-rank inner court official), Ouyang Hezheng, consort of Princess De'an, sat facing Qing envoy La Kema with frowning eyes. Of course, it was not the other party that worried him The chattering mouth is a series of dilemmas faced by the Huaxia Dynasty recently.

Of course, Ouyanghe knew that the other party already knew that the Huaxia Dynasty suffered a loss when he marched north, but he still pretended not to know that the other party already knew about it, and even deceived himself by showing that he knew that the other party didn't know what he was just doing. He guessed wildly, which made him a little dizzy who was not very good at intrigue.

But no matter how dizzy you are, Zheng Kezang's will still have to be carried out: "These days, you and I have repeatedly entangled in the issue of what is right and wrong between the excavation of the river and the northward advance. It is indeed a bit of putting the cart before the horse."

Under the signal of Ouyang He, Xie Qisheng, one of the deputy envoys, the negotiating member of the Governor's Office, communicated with the other party in a leisurely manner: "Now I am willing to focus on the future and ignore all past events. I don't know what your envoy thinks How is it?"

Lacoma's deputy, Zhang Shunqing, who was born in the Han army Zhenghongqi, made eye contact with Lacoma for a while, then nodded and said: "It should be so. If we blindly dwell on the past, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the long-term peace between the two countries." [

"Then for the sake of peace between the two countries, please Qing Dynasty to hand over Hezhong first, as a show of sincerity." Xie Qisheng looked at the other party who was calm, and said lightly. "This is not a cliché. Your country originally intended to withdraw from the river. Why didn't you go along with the boat to win my court's trust?"

"Master Xie, how do you know that my Qing Dynasty intends to withdraw from the river?" Zhang Shunqing shook his head. "My lord's words are deceptive at a small level, and blackmail at a large level. How can you get what your court can't get from the battlefield? It's not a mockery of officials and lamas. Your Excellency?"

"This official is definitely trying to mock the two envoys." Xie Qisheng bared his teeth with a half-smile. "The two lords probably don't know yet. In recent days, Zhengzhou, Yuzhou and other places have turned their backs. The generals who raised righteousness have been clearly confessed by your court. If it is not based on the intention of reconciliation between the two countries, we The soldiers and horses of the court have already marched towards Henan Mansion."

The muscles on Zhang Shunqing's face twitched, and then he laughed: "Is it not going to send troops, or can't send troops?"

"Even if it's too cold to send out soldiers, does your court think that after the warm spring and flowers bloom in the coming year, we will not be able to send out troops?" Ouyang He's subtext is very emotional. , the Northern Expedition will definitely continue in the second year. "Unless your court plans to dig up the Yellow River along the Luoyang line."

"How is it possible?" Lacoma hastily denied. "The digging of the river was done by the local officials. Now that the elder brother is sitting in Luoyang, I think he will never allow such a conscienceless thing to happen again."

"It turns out that you also know that digging the river is annihilation of conscience." Ding Zhong, another negotiator of the Huaxia Dynasty, sneered. "I'm afraid that the eldest prince of your court doesn't want to dig the river, but because Luoyang has a higher terrain and is blocked by Beiman Mountain, the harm after digging the river will not be too great, so he has to stop."

"Master Tian, ​​this is speculation." Zhao Jie, the Deputy Negotiator of the Qing court, denied it. "It's nonsense."

"Whether it is nonsense or not, I will ask a few adults whether you are willing to hand over Henan to show your sincerity."

In response to Ding Zhong's "pressing" question, Zhang Shunqing asked rhetorically, "Is your court willing to reach a peace agreement with us when we give up Luoyang?"

"The peace agreement can naturally be reached, but handing over Hezhong is only a prerequisite." Xie Qisheng pushed forward without hesitation. "We agree to use the Yellow River as the boundary, and all choices are in your hands."

Zhao Jie laughed and said, "In other words, in addition to Henan, you also want to go to Guanzhong. It's really a big appetite."

"Whether I have a big appetite or not is up to me, but it's up to you to give it or not." Ouyang He nodded to Lacoma. "A few years ago when I signed a peace treaty with Japan, the presiding lord told the Japanese envoy that the envoy had only two options: whether to allow it or not, and now the son-in-law is also advising it in the same way. Everything is in the envoy's whim. "

Lacoma opened his mouth and struggled vigorously, finally, regardless of the objecting eyes of several deputy envoys, he agreed: "Hezhong can be handed over to you, but not now, it's freezing cold, how can tens of thousands of soldiers and horses go?" To withdraw, we must wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom."

"It's a good plan. By then, not only will most of the population on your side have moved away, but there will also be a Yellow River blocking them. Yu Wochao will pursue them later." Ouyang He applauded. "However, no matter how many people you move away, as long as you are willing to hand over Henan." Ouyang He bluffed. "Then it's settled. In March of the next year, I will march westward to Luoyang with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. If you don't want the two countries to meet each other in arms, please let go of Henan Mansion before then."

"So urgent." Zhang Shunqing almost cried out. "We still have to allow us to send letters to Beijing and Luoyang quickly."

"It's natural." Ouyang He said with a chuckle. "I think Emperor Kangxi of your dynasty will make the wisest decision"

Yinti is the man behind the entire north withdrawal strategy, so naturally he will not object to handing over the Henan Mansion as a bargaining chip, and he has already secretly withdrawn more than ten thousand troops and tens of thousands of people from Luoyang. Persisting until March of the next year, he can at least take away several 10 people intact, so he will not refuse the Huaxia Dynasty's request.

It's just that Huaxia also asked for Guanlong in addition to Luoyang. Although this did not exceed the bottom line of the Qing court, there were unexpectedly opponents.In fact, when the news of the Hanzhong Massacre spread to Guanzhong with the Qing army retreating north, fierce conflicts broke out between the third elder brother Yinzhi and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who presided over Guanzhong affairs. [

Yinzhi believes that what Yinzhen has done has made the Qing court lose the hearts of the people, Guanzhong is completely undefendable, and should retreat immediately.But from the point of view of Yinzhen who returned from Hanzhong, Xia Jun's reaction was slow. In addition, the key passes of the Qinling Mountains such as Ziwu Valley, Xiegu, and Chencang Road have been destroyed by him. With more than 5 Guanzhong Qing troops may not be able to defend Xi'an There is no need to hand over Shaanxi in a hurry, just to increase the burden of reclamation outside the customs.

Neither of the two elder brothers who held the imperial decree could persuade the other, making Xi Hana, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Hua Xian, the governor of Sichuan, and Dan Dai, the governor of Shaanxi, at a loss. Kangxi came to make a decision.

But before Kangxi's decree was delivered, Yin persuaded the generals of the Green Camp in Western Province who were also unwilling to leave their hometowns.

On November 44th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, Yin selected three thousand elite cavalry, and took Zhao Hongxie, the second son of Zhao Liangdong, the deceased first-class elite Qi Nihafan, as his general, and rushed to Pingliang against the wind and snow. Ma Bingzhong was defeated, thus deterring the discordant Gansu feudal towns and inspiring the morale of the Sichuan and Qin green camps.

The news of Pingliang's great victory spread to Xi'an, and Yin expressed his opinion to Yinzhi triumphantly: "The green battalions of the two provinces are available, as long as they cheer up a little, they can defend Tongguan and Qinling for the imperial court. The army, and being able to contain two seas with one province, can be called a great advantage, how can such a great benefit be discarded lightly."

Seeing that Yin was about to write a letter to Kangxi, Yinzhi hurriedly dissuaded him: "The imperial court's transfer back to Sichuan and Qin is not because it can't defend Hanzhong and Guanzhong, but to concentrate its strength to deal with the sea inverse. If the cart is turned upside down, Huang Ama's situation is not good. Confession."

Yin is a person who accepts death, and he responded: "Dividing Haini means that the imperial court has concentrated its power. Besides, now that the Yellow River is flooding south, Haini cuts off the possibility of going north from the east road. It will definitely fall into Guanlong and drive Shanxi. When the abandonment of Hezhong is a foregone conclusion, defending Tongguan will buy time for the imperial court to deploy troops."

Seeing what Yinzhi wanted to say, Yin said with a smile: "The third brother is too cautious. You must know that the enrichment of the Kanto must be done step by step. Like the boss and the eighth, tens of thousands of people will be squeezed in at once. North It must be able to eat, otherwise it will not be a help, but a disaster, so it is beneficial to hold on to the Western Province theory from any angle."

Yin Zhi's thoughts were really misled, he thought for a while: "The old man is also capable, not only immigrated hundreds of thousands of Shitun from Shanxi, but also donated a few 10 taels of silver to Huang Ama. Going is two credits, you and I can't compare."

"That's why we have to defend Shaanxi even more, otherwise I won't be able to bear the anger when I go back to Beijing to see their faces."

Yinzhi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Fourth brother, have you also taken a fancy to the prince's dragon chair?"

"Third brother, I am going to be a lonely minister." How could Yin admit his thoughts in front of Yinzhi, so he said seemingly sincerely. "Actually, the boss is the most suitable one. It's just that Huang Ama doesn't like him, so you still have a chance, third brother. As for me, at that time, as long as I can clean up the demon atmosphere in Shenzhou and leave a reputation as a virtuous king for all eternity." gone."

"Worthy King of all ages?" Yin Zhi laughed out loud. "The iron hat king doesn't have such a long inheritance." Of course, Yin Zhi would not be confused by Yin's statement, but he had to fight for that seat without someone's help, so he thought twice. "Fourth, you want to keep Shaanxi, I think there is some truth in it, and I can help you explain it to Huang Ama, it's just"

Yinzhi looked at Yin with a long voice, and of course Yin understood that the other party wanted him to express his opinion, so he lowered his head: "Third brother, please don't worry, Lao Ba and I have never been able to urinate in the same pot. With the third brother, you follow the example."

"Since when did you learn to speak such foul words?" Even so, a satisfied expression appeared on Yin Zhi's face. "Okay, this time I will follow you to block this one."

Coming out of Yinzhi's mansion, a sneer appeared on Yin's tense face: "Third brother, it will not end well if you keep your eyes on that seat. Second brother is a lesson for us. Now the boss also wants to understand, in the troubled times, the only way to seize the military power is true, unfortunately, you are still confused, but this is good, otherwise I will be the first in the next round."
