Chapter 501 Fan Wencheng's Words of Punishment
Liaodong.

night.

Outside Matsuyama Fort.

Houjin sweat account.

In the sweat tent, the light was very dim. From the dim light, one could see that Huang Taiji's face was gloomy.

In the dark, Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji numbly. Ever since he got the letter during the day, Huang Taiji locked himself in the sweat tent and saw no one.

Huang Taiji locked himself in the sweat tent, and has been locked up since he received the news. He also locked Fan Wencheng in the sweat tent by the way, staring at Fan Wencheng with wolf-like eyes from time to time. What I saw, from the initial panic to the later panic, until now, has become numb.

"...um... um, cough..." Huang Taiji finally spoke, and in his slurred mouth, due to his inaccurate pronunciation, he couldn't understand what he said at all.

"... Cough, Wen Cheng, read that letter. After reading it, tell Ben Khan what to do..." Huang Taiji said flatly, his voice was very flat and lifeless.

"Cha..., this slave obeys..." Fan Wencheng said numbly, in a low voice. In his mind, he no longer had the courage and joy that was commensurate with Huang Taiji's monarch and ministers before, and now there was only numbness and fear.

Fan Wenchen picked up the letter on the table and read it carefully under the dim light. Although he had seen some of the contents of the letter earlier and had already prepared it, it was even more difficult to open the letter. Shock is a greater fear than the pressure Huang Taiji put on him.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has successfully solved the salt merchants and reached a compromise with the salt merchants. The interior of the Ming Dynasty is already in harmony. The consequence of this news is that they want to take advantage of the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty and then oppress it with external forces, so that the defense of the Ming Dynasty will appear flawed. The plan to take advantage of the opportunity fell through. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already expected that they would come to fight Jinning, and had already made arrangements. Jinning and the city of people also strengthened their defenses early, and it was not easy to defeat them. What is even more frightening is that the letter stated that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty successfully obtained the family wealth of the salt merchants for 200 years. The emperor has received half of the salt lessons this year, and this half of the salt lessons is as high as 3000 million taels... What are the consequences of these news?That is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had countless silver to fight with them. If the population of Dajin is 500, the 20 million silver is exchanged for 3000 taels of silver ingots. At least three blows... The more Fan Wencheng looked, the paler and worse his face became. He finally understood why Huang Taiji was like this.This news can be described as a bolt from the blue.

"Return to master, this servant has read it." After reading the letter, Fan Wencheng's complexion was already darker than Huang Taiji's, his eyes were full of fear and numbness.

"...Well, how does Xiandou see this news? Is it true or not? If it is true, how should I deal with it? If it is false, how should I deal with it?" , it sounds particularly infiltrating.

"...3000 million taels of silver..." As soon as Fan Wencheng opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say 3000 million taels of silver. With this astronomical amount of silver, Fan Wencheng felt his mouth dry and his heart full of powerlessness and fear. In Dajinli, if someone robs dozens of people, hundreds of horses and livestock, they are all great heroes to be praised, but facing this 3000 million silver, what is it?For the first time, Fan Wencheng suddenly had a deeper understanding of the words Lu, Man, and Barbarian. The Ming Dynasty regarded itself as a celestial dynasty, and it was not without reason to use these contemptuous words, including his Dajin. Have enough capital and strength to say so, so called.

"...Well, then, Xiandou thinks the 3000 million is real?..." Sitting in the dark, Huang Taijina asked calmly.

"...Returning to the master, the servant thought that this should be true. According to Minghuang's usual habits, he would never target the target indiscriminately. Now that the new salt law has been released, if the old salt merchants are not settled, how can the new salt law be born? Those salt Shang will definitely fight Ming Huang to the death, therefore, this servant feels that this should be true, even if there is some moisture, it will never be too much..." Fan Wencheng said with difficulty, he was also extremely unwilling to believe it was true Yes, but he had to believe it.

"...3000 million taels of silver is not the scariest thing. The scary thing is that Ming Emperor has tens of millions of taels of silver in his account every year. This is the most terrifying thing. Even if 3000 million taels of silver is a mountain, it will pile up quickly It will be spent, but the detailed account of the running water is available every year, and it will never be spent. This is the most terrifying..." Fan Wencheng swallowed, trying to suppress the boiling fear in his heart, and followed the 3000 million yuan. The silver tongue speaks.

After finishing speaking, Fan Wencheng spread out another thing that came with the letter, several Ming Dynasty mansion newspapers folded into small squares. In this mansion newspaper, the matter of the Ten Thousand Salt Class has been explained in great detail. , including what is the ticket salt law, how to implement it, who will take over the world's salt production, and how to pay taxes, etc. Through the ticket salt law, it is not difficult to judge the real situation of this matter.

"Master, look at the contents of this mansion newspaper, it is very informative, I am afraid that Emperor Ming really did it, even if there is no 3000 million salt merchant's fortune, just the 500 million taels of silver that has already been obtained is not a small amount of money... ..." Fan Wencheng swallowed and continued.

"...Well, Ben Khan knows, Xiandou is right, that is to say, the 1000 million is true, and the 3000 million is also true. Ming Emperor solved the internal problem, and it is also true. This, Ben Khan I also have to admit that Emperor Ming is really powerful. He solved such a difficult problem in such a short period of time. Ben Khan couldn't do it even if he wanted to intervene. This Emperor Ming is so powerful. Ah! Maybe it's because the expert next to Emperor Ming is so powerful..." Sitting in the dark, Huang Taiji began to get a little angry after listening to Fan Wencheng's explanation for a long time. Although the matter was extremely unfavorable to him, Da Jin Facts are facts after all.

"..." Fan Wencheng stood there with his hands down, not daring to breathe.

"According to Xiandou, what should we do now?" Huang Taiji tried to cheer himself up.Huang Taiji, who had been silent for a whole day, also began to recover at this time. In his words and tone, the calm and calm Huang Taiji seemed to be back again.

"Returning to the master, according to the slave, we might as well take two paths for the current plan..." Fan Wencheng thought for a long time before answering.Huang Taiji's calm voice reassured him a lot, and his mind was not as stiff and fearful as before.

"Let's talk about Xiandou," Huang Taiji said.

"Master, first of all, we should make peace. Now that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, whether it is true or false, we should send envoys or write to the Ming Emperor to negotiate with the Ming Emperor. If you can impress the Ming Emperor, it is the best. And secondly, if it can disrupt the Ming Dynasty's internal sight, it is also good to cause trouble for the Ming Emperor. Maybe the Ming Emperor is happy, and if this is the case, it is also an opportunity; if you make peace with the Ming Dynasty, whether it is true or false And, we should make some concessions to lure the Ming Emperor or the Ming court to disagree on this, so that it will be beneficial to my Daikin..." Fan Wencheng began to use his brain again in Huang Taiji's calm and slightly energetic words , made suggestions for Huang Taiji.

"Oh, what should be true and what should be? What about false harmony?" Huang Taiji asked calmly. [To be wordy, the peace policy of the later Jin and Ming dynasties has always existed, especially during the Huang Taiji period. Of course, most of them are fake moves. 】

"Returning to the master, true harmony means splitting the ground and proclaiming ministers. Like North Korea, it respects the Ming Dynasty as the upper dynasty, but it also manages itself. There are all civil and military officials, ancestral temple sacrifices, etc.; false harmony is naturally an attractive condition. As a bait to lure the Ming Dynasty into being fooled, it would be great if it could cause internal strife or fights within the Ming Dynasty. If there is chaos in the court, it will inevitably be implicated outside this pass, and once there is a loophole, it can be taken advantage of by my big gold..."

"It makes sense. According to Xiandou, if there is a real peace, what step does my Dajin need to do to make the Ming Dynasty agree?" Huang Taiji was not angry at all because Fan Wencheng said the peace talks, but seriously reconciled with Fan Wencheng. Discuss.

"...This..." Fan Wencheng was in a dilemma. It became more and more difficult to say this. Even though Fan Wencheng made up his mind, he still hesitated at the moment.

"It doesn't matter, Xiandou just speaks out, Ben Khan still has the guts." Huang Taiji said.

"...Shengjing..." Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth, said it cruelly.

"...Shengjing?" Huang Taiji thought he heard it wrong, and asked in surprise. Although he was somewhat prepared for Yan He, Fan Wencheng's words still surprised him!
"Back to Dahan, yes, Shengjing, if necessary, can give up Shengjing. If Dahan is Zhenhe, this condition will definitely impress many people in the Ming Dynasty, including the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It may succeed..." Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

Huang Taiji suddenly stared at Fan Wencheng with wild beast eyes. His eyes were flickering in the dim light, and he was really frightening.

Fan Wencheng stood there firmly, his neck was stiff, fear and firmness appeared in one person at the same time, it was really weird.

"How do you say that?" Huang Taiji squeezed out these words from his teeth in as calm a tone as possible.

"Back to the master, although it is extremely difficult to give up Shengjing, my Dajin will have a broader way of life. The so-called death and rebirth, master, who is west of my Dajin?" Fan Wencheng tried his best to stand up He stretched his body and tried his best not to tremble with fear.

"Lin Danhan?" Huang Taiji said casually.

"Returning to the master, it is true that the west of my Dajin is Lin Danhan, it is Mongolia, and it is a nomadic tribe. Master, you can think about it. Although it is extremely difficult for my Dajin to give up Shengjing, once we negotiate a peace on this condition, then The past with the Ming Dynasty can be almost wiped out. Without the Ming Dynasty’s pressing step by step, Dajin can gather strength and eradicate Lin Danhan from the grassland in one go. Although Shengjing is lost, if Lin Danhan’s territory can be wiped out If it is included in my Daikin, then my Dajin will be resurrected from the dead. It can be said that it was born on behalf of the Mongols. Of course, the Ming Dynasty can press my Dajin, but the Great Khan, from ancient times to the present, there is another Central Plains Dynasty that has completely solved the northern war. Nomadic issues? From the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and then to the Ming Dynasty, didn’t they confront the nomadic tribes through the wall? Did they ever really destroy these nomadic tribes? Dayuan was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, but now Lin Dan Khan still bears the reputation of being a co-owner of the grassland, and holds the jade seal of Dayuan Zhenguo in his hand. What can the Ming Dynasty do to him? Now he still has to persuade him with good words. For example, Dajin can occupy the grassland on behalf of Mongolia and confront the Ming Dynasty. The momentum will be achieved, and the country will be extended, so there is no need to fear the threat of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the current Emperor Ming can enter the grassland as the founding of the country, so what? Isn’t the Ming Dynasty retreating to the side wall now!... If you can It is not impossible to gather strength for a few years, and it is not impossible to enter the Central Plains, isn't that what the Great Yuan is like?" Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and insisted, clearly expressing the meaning in his heart.

"...Hoo..." After hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji let out a long breath, his beast-like eyes changed back, and his expression became peaceful.

"That's true,...then Xiandou thinks that giving up Shengjing will allow the Ming Dynasty to let me go, Dajin? Just to calm down the fighting? Isn't Xiandou afraid of the Ming Dynasty's emperor turning his face? Although the Ming Dynasty's reputation is indeed good now However, how can one's own life depend entirely on the reputation of others when it comes to national affairs?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Back to the master, after withdrawing from Shengjing, there are hundreds of miles of Shengjing on the coast, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to penetrate further. Even in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, Shengjing has almost reached the limit of the Ming Dynasty. Further north, like Tieling Guard or something, it is almost an enclave, the so-called beyond reach, that's it, if you retreat here, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to do something to me, Da Jin, I'm afraid he will have to weigh it..." Fan Wen At this time, Cheng was much calmer, and he didn't carry himself so hard to keep himself from trembling like before.

"It makes sense, it's true." Huang Taiji nodded after hearing what Fan Wencheng said. Back then when Tieling was hit, the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't even dare to send troops to rescue it. Instead, they asked Lin Danhan for help. This Tieling was indeed It is too far away from the center of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to save it, it will be very difficult. Even if he turns against the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult for him to take back cities like Tieling. The long road can be ambushed anywhere to save Ming army.

"Master, this slave has something to say, if I lose the big gold in the future, the way out should be in the west, and the way out should be to occupy the Mongolian grassland..." Fan Wencheng's face was flushed when he said this.

"Well, yes, what Xiandou said makes sense. Ben Khan has written it down, and I have to consider this matter." After Fan Wencheng's enlightenment, Huang Taiji broadened his thinking and broadened his horizons. He still has some skills, he still has to think about what he said as a counselor, and carefully consider it, although he thinks it makes sense, but Huang Taiji feels that there is always something wrong with it, as for where, he can't think of it for a while Although there seemed to be many obscure possibilities hidden in these words, after all, it did greatly broaden Huang Taiji's thinking and vision, and Huang Taiji valued himself as a counselor even more.

"Thank you, master, for your compliment!" Fan Wencheng wiped off his sweat, his rhetoric finally moved Huang Taiji, if his rhetoric didn't move him, the best outcome would be to be assigned to the slave who is currently waiting.

"Xiandou doesn't need to be so cautious. Ben Khan said before that in front of Ben Khan, it is enough for Xiandou to call his own name or character, and there is no need to be with slaves and slaves. This seems to be born." Huang Taiji finally squeezed out With a smile, he spoke to his counselor "kindly".

"Slave, thank master Long En." Fan Wencheng quickly knelt down to thank him.

After saying bluntly, after a short silence, Huang Taiji asked again: "In terms of Xiandou, what should we do with this fake peace?"

"Hui Dahan, if it is a fake peace, you only need to make concessions step by step, and finally refuse to agree. This bait needs to be released step by step. At the beginning, you only need to promise to be a vassal. For example, the case of North Korea is the best. Yes, Emperor Ming will definitely not agree to this condition. In this case, you can lower your status a little bit, speak more sincerely, and give up the territory. If you still disagree, you can speak even more modestly. I can give up some of the territory. If I can pretend to be pitiful and sincere, I think I can confuse some ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If I can let them help me speak for Dajin, then this matter will be accomplished. If there is any dispute within the Ming Dynasty, there will definitely be internal strife, so this is my opportunity for Dajin, even if there is an internal dispute in the Ming Dynasty, my Dajin will definitely not admit it, and it will not harm me..." Fan Wencheng said.

"Well, it makes sense, Xiandou continued, what is the second way?" Huang Taiji nodded and asked again.

"Hui Dahan, this second strategy is what we are doing now, to keep the same in response to all changes, and try to gather and annihilate a group of Ming Dynasty elites near Songshan Fort, so as to change the situation of both sides, so that the Ming Dynasty can no longer press on. I, Da Jin, can spare no effort and step up to deal with Lin Danhan. Judging from the current situation, the Songshan Fort must have been fully prepared. It is Songshan Fort that has made enough preparations, and the food and grass will not last long. If it can be surrounded for a year or so, the food for Songshan Fort will always be eaten up, so the Ming army will always come out..." Fan Wencheng analyzed.

"...Hoo..." Huang Taiji let out another breath.He understands the reason for the death siege. The ultimate goal is not Songshan Fort, but to encircle and wipe out a group of elites from the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty can no longer force him to go to Dajin outside the customs. He can calmly deal with Lin Dan Khan and incorporate the Mongolian tribes. Okay, but when Huang Taiji thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had just obtained 3000 million taels of silver and countless family fortunes, and the salt class of up to 1000 million a year, he could only let out a long breath, even if he could wipe out a group of elites of the Ming Dynasty every year , But it can't stand the emperor of the Ming Dynasty training elites every year!As long as the money is sufficient, are you afraid that you will not be able to recruit people in the Ming Dynasty?The Ming Dynasty was plagued by natural disasters, so how many people were waiting to eat!Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt that the sky, which had just brightened a little bit, became dark again.

"... Huh..., but Emperor Ming is not short of money!" Huang Taiji said, very helpless.
