Chapter 698 Helpless(1/2)
The Ming Dynasty army confronted each other and did not attack and kill each other, but sent envoys to make peace.
After hearing the envoy's remarks, Qin Liangyu had basically judged what Huang Taiji wanted to do. Qin Liangyu had a plan for this matter. Qin Liangyu could deal with such a thing himself. Instead of Huang Taiji's idea, he used peace talks to delay the war.
"I wonder what Mrs. Qin thinks? My Khan is indeed quite sincere. I hope the two families will reconcile, stop their weapons and cultivate harmony together..." The envoy saw that Qin Liangyu did not express his opinion for a while, and Qin Liangyu's reaction exceeded his expectations.
According to his expectations, since Dajin offered such good conditions, it was definitely not enough for Qin Liangyu to decide. He had to ask the Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong, or ask the emperor, and it might even cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty. Only when the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, Dajin had a chance.
But Qin Liangyu seemed to have no embarrassment or moved expression for his extremely tempting suggestion. His expression was still dull, as if everything was under control. The messenger did not believe that Qin Liangyu could really hide his heart so well. No one was indifferent after hearing such temptation conditions... The messenger looked at Qin Liangyu's indifferent look and felt unsure.
"...I have to say that Guihan is indeed very accessible, but if only these are the only ones, I am afraid that Guihan's idea will be difficult to achieve..." Qin Liangyu thought for a while and rejected the messenger lightly.
When the generals saw Qin Liangyu, they refused on the spot. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. The conditions for the Tartars were getting looser and looser. If they were really full of circles of the Ming Dynasty, then the war would really not be fought. The war could not be fought anymore. This blood feud?
"...uh, to be honest, Mrs. Qin, this matter is a major event between you and me. Is it necessary for Mrs. Qin to ask Mr. Sun or His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Mrs. Qin can really make the decision?" The envoy's eyes were filled with a hint of panic. Qin Liangyu's reaction exceeded his expectations. Even if such a big thing was rejected, she, a female, directly refused. How could she be so brave? Is she not afraid of overstepping power or was she prepared?
"This commander can naturally be the one who can do it. As for whether this can be made, there is no need to worry about the messenger..." Qin Liangyu said.
"Mrs. Qin, this is a diplomatic relationship between the two countries. Mrs. Qin can really make the decision? No need to ask for instructions to go up the peak? What if you blame me for going up the peak? Mrs. Qin may not be able to explain it!..." The messenger felt extremely frightened deep in his heart, but his mouth became tough.
"Diplomatic diplomatic relations? Is it possible for the envoy to compare with my Ming Dynasty with a few hundred thousand people? I also said that I would like to submit to my Ming Dynasty and be a barrier to my Ming Dynasty. I should not use this word "Diplomatic diplomatic relations" easily!" Qin Liangyu sarcastically said. Since he had seen through Huang Taiji's poisonous plan and was not afraid of Huang Taiji's poisonous plan, Qin Liangyu would not mind playing with the Donglu.
"Mrs. Qin taught me a lesson, and I, Dajin, is really not worthy of being compared with Daming..." The envoy's tough tone immediately changed and became respectful again. The envoy was even more afraid. He had just reminded Qin Liangyu about this, but Qin Liangyu didn't get into oil and salt, and seemed not afraid of this matter at all.... Was he prepared?
"Now that the army is about to fight, the envoy said that it would be a truce and repair it. I believe that the envoy is also a smart person. I believe that the envoy knows what the hell is going to do. This commander did not feel Guihan's sincerity. Okay, that's all, let's go back..." Qin Liangyu sent an order to expel guests. It was very simple to deal with this poisonous plan. The order she received was to attack Liaoyang. As for Huang Taiji's surrender, that was another matter. She really couldn't make the decision, but she didn't need to make the decision. She reported the news and continued to fight what should be fought. Qin Liangyu was not afraid at all. Huang Taiji wanted to delay the war on the grounds of surrender and seeking opportunities. That was impossible.
"Mrs. Qin is a little concerned, don't doubt the sincerity of my Khan. My Khan is indeed sincere. Since Mrs. Qin thinks that my Khan is not trustworthy, then Mrs. Qin might as well make a condition for himself to prove that my Khan is credible..." The envoy was anxious when he saw Qin Liangyu's order to expel the guest, and immediately put forward such a condition, asking Qin Liangyu to make the condition himself.
The generals were even more talking, some were surprised, some were confused, some were sad and angry, and some were even anxious. Many generals were guessing, what was wrong with the Tartars? Is it really determined to submit? Let the commander-in-chief make his own conditions? Many of the generals present were frightened. The envoy said this a bit weird.
Qin Liangyu was also shocked. Huang Taiji was indeed a difficult person. He was so "vicious" that he asked himself to make conditions. This was definitely not something that ordinary people could do, and Qin Liangyu was silent.
"Mrs. Qin, my Khan must have sincere support. As long as there are conditions to convince Mrs. Qin, my Khan can agree..." Seeing that Qin Liangyu was silent, the envoy felt that his words stumped Qin Liangyu. He was quite content, but he repeated his words to show his sincerity.
Qin Liangyu was also quite troubled, and had to admit that Huang Taiji's move was indeed vicious. Although she was not afraid of this move, she had to say that this move was sharp. Although she scolded the envoy for using the word diplomatic relations, in fact, it was indeed diplomatic relations. In fact, diplomatic relations were really not her turn to manage diplomatic relations, and she had no right to make decisions. This kind of "military relations" did cause trouble for him. If he insisted on starting a war, he would be charged with a crime of destroying diplomatic relations. If he did not start a war, the army would be in a dilemma.
"I am afraid that the envoy dares not agree, and Guihan cannot do it..." Qin Liangyu's mood was indeed a little confused. After thinking for a while, he had to say that. In this regard, Qin Liangyu was not easy to show weakness, so he could only say it with a slight bullet.
"Mrs. Qin just say that my Khan will do it to show his sincerity." The messenger and his affirmative tone said.
"Since the envoy said that, let Guihan order to put down his weapons and accept the reorganization of our army. Can it be done?" Qin Liangyu said an impossible thing. However, Qin Liangyu regretted it. If Huang Taiji really put down his weapons and surrendered, in fact, she lost. This loss does not mean losing on a bet, but that she disrupted the emperor's strategy and lost here. In the future, the emperor would have to worry about dealing with Lin Danhan. Even though she solved the major troubles of the Ming Dynasty in one sentence, she still lost. Although Qin Liangyu knew that this was impossible, she became uneasy.
The generals did not understand the whole story. When they heard Qin Liangyu mention Huang Taiji himself put down his weapons and surrender and accepted the reorganization of the Ming Dynasty, they had to raise their hearts. If the Tatars really did as required by the commander-in-chief, it would not mean that this battle would not be necessary? The entire Eastern Captain could be pacified without fighting. This..., the hearts of many generals were raised to their throats.
Of course, some generals became even more impatient. If the Eastern Captain surrendered, wouldn’t it be impossible to avenge their blood feud?
"Hehe..., this is easy to say, this can be done..." the messenger agreed with a smile and confidently.
"Is the messenger not joking?" Qin Liangyu was really shocked! She confidently said something that Huang Taiji could not do, but now the messenger said that he could do it, which made her who was still blaming herself for ruining the emperor's affairs. Is this a bad thing or a good thing? Qin Liangyu is really inaccurate now.
The generals who heard the messenger speak were all incredibly surprised.
"... However, it is not that I put down my weapons and accept the reorganization at this time, but that I will wait for the Ming Dynasty to discuss clearly that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has made a clear decision, issued an imperial edict to the world, and made arrangements, my Khan can do this... I will do this as Mrs. Qin said. To be honest, I think it is really difficult to do. I believe the commander-in-chief should also understand that I, Dajin and the Ming Dynasty have a blood feud. Before the matter is settled, if I put down my weapons, I am afraid that I will become a sword ghost of the Ming Dynasty immediately. My Khan is willing to submit, but I can't be a fool, right? Besides, this matter must be calculated by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I believe that Mrs. Qin has no right to make decisions. Mrs. Qin said so?" The envoy continued to smile and said.
"Questions..." Zhang Fengyi kept listening, and she felt very ups and downs. It turned out that she was taking over the weapons after the talk. Isn't this just a delay? The word "Questions" immediately blurted out.
Qin Liangyu also sighed that he really needed to be alert to dealing with Huang Taiji, and he would be deceived if he was not careful.
"The envoy is very good. This commander really can't make the decision. He will report the words of the envoy and the Khan to the top. However, before receiving the orders of the court, he will still attack Liaoyang. This is a two-part matter..." Qin Liangyu said. Qin Liangyu felt that he was talking too much, and he was a little "tired", and he had no intention of saying anything to the envoy, so he was still ready to fight.
"Let's go... Since Mrs. Qin still doesn't believe my Khan, she insists on raising another army to attack Liaoyang... This is easy to say. I will tell my Khan to see if I can transfer Liaoyang to Mrs. Qin to show my Khan's sincerity, how about?" The envoy said and his confident words.
Qin Liangyu said intimately that he was not good. Before he knew it, he was hit by Huang Taiji's trick and felt a little dizzy. Huang Taiji asked the envoy to speak, but he was indeed unhappy. Liaoyang City was already under the vanguard of her army. As long as he arrived at Liaoyang City, Liaoyang City could not be defended at all, and sooner or later it would be her belongings. Huang Taiji now uses this city that he could not defend at all to show his "sincerity" and gives out this thing that was not originally belonging to him. This move is indeed brilliant. This move not only shows Huang Taiji's generosity and sincerity, but also smoothes out the credit that originally belonged to her.
Huang Taiji's move is true and real, which really makes Qin Liangyu sighed.
If you give the city a hand and give in to the people, and apologize for guilt, the image of Tartars who are determined to seek peace and sincerely submitting to the Ming Dynasty is no longer as simple as it is on paper. With these, it should be said that it can confuse most people. Once this matter is reported to the court, Qin Liangyu doesn't know how much it will be to fight in the court. Qin Liangyu just hopes that the emperor can control the court and not let the Tatars' tricks be deceived.
Qin Liangyu was so angry that she could only pray that things should not be unexpected. At this level, this matter was indeed beyond her authority, and she had to report it. According to the envoy's intention, even Huang Taiji planned to not have any permissions. Her authority was only to capture Liaoyang City, but now, the Tatars intend to give up Liaoyang City, and Qin Liangyu felt like he had to hit the cotton with all his strength...
"This is not a problem with the envoy. Liaoyang City is my old city of Ming Dynasty. Whether to retrieve it or not is all due to my Ming Dynasty. No one needs to give in to it..." Qin Liangyu's heart was a little confused and said in a suffocation.
"Mrs. Qin is such a bad word. Why do you have to do something without using a weapon? Isn't it a waste of the lives of the soldiers? How can Mrs. Qin bear it? ... Mrs. Qin might as well wait for a while, and after this envoy has reported to my Khan, I will give Mrs. Qin a satisfactory reply..." said the envoy and his sincere voice.
Qin Liangyu was speechless and could only smile bitterly in his heart. This really hit him in the foot. Now that someone has been holding the sway, he has become ignored. If he had known this, he would not have seen this messenger. Qin Liangyu regretted it a little, and he would not have been alerted to be vigilant.
The generals had already started to discuss this fact. This fact was a bit outrageous. Before the battle was fought, the enemy would give up the city... This is indeed difficult to understand.
"Well, since the envoy said that, then the envoy should go and go back quickly..." Qin Liangyu said helplessly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Qin, for being content with me..." the envoy said with a victorious smile.
Qin Liangyu waved his hand a little "swept" and asked the messenger to leave quickly. As things turned out like this, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
"...Thank you, Mrs. Qin. By the way, my Khan here specially presented a letter of nationality here, and asked Mrs. Qin to pass it over..." The envoy seemed to remember something and said again, and while saying that, he brought something like a letter of nationality.
Qin Liangyu was even more "swept" and no longer interested in talking to this person anymore. She waved her hand and asked someone to bring the "School of the People's Republic of China" over.
The messenger left with a victorious smile.
Qin Liangyu was particularly depressed and uncomfortable.
"Mom, why is this happening? These Tartars really won't fight?" Zhang Fengyi asked directly.
Qin Liangyu was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that things would be so turbulent. It was really unexpected. I really don't know if I should be happy or depressed.
"Real and false, false, false, and real. Huang Taiji's move was indeed extremely exquisite and dazzling... Feng'er, in fact, no matter what, the chief of the enemy will never surrender..." Qin Liangyu could only say this.
The generals have long been very talked about, and they can win another battle without fighting. This seems to be good news. It would be great if the war has always been so simple. Some people are very angry, and many people have distrust and hatred for the Tartars, and they believe it directly is a scam.
"Come here! Go and invite Mao Shuai, the governor of Liaodong, Lord Hong, and Lord Man, come here and say that my commander has something important to invite him..." Qin Liangyu had to discuss this matter with several chief officials. This matter was indeed beyond her responsibilities and authority. These people were all chief officials of the leading side, and the war was about to come and they were all in charge of their respective troops.
...
Soon, Mao Wenlong, Hong Chengchou and Man Gui arrived.
A few people had heard about this before they came.
After arriving, several people had a very strange face. This matter, on the surface, was indeed a good thing. It was a waste of time. It was even possible that the Tathagata surrendered and defeated the soldiers without fighting. To put it, it was also a good story in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it was contrary to the emperor's strategy. If this matter was done as the Tathagata said, it would never be a good thing.
After the few people arrived, they had no intention of greeting each other. This strange and depressing thing made the few people silent.
"Huang Taiji is indeed a vicious person. Back then, in order to provoke the old captain, the subordinate officials sent all kinds of dissent and trust to the old captain, and spread various rumors. They made the old captain suspicious, which has a great effect. But now this little captain has learned and used the trick of provoking the old captain and used the trick of provoking and dissenting on the Ming Dynasty..." Mao Wenlong couldn't help but complain first.
The news of the Donglu seeking peace and "sincerity" surrendering reached the court. I don't know what will happen in the court. No matter what the solution is, the effect of this discord is absolutely true. The effect depends only on the emperor's control over the court. The emperor has strong control over the court. The discord effect of this matter is limited. At most, a small wave will be made in the court, and then continue to do as the emperor said. If the emperor's control ability is not strong, I am afraid that the court will fight openly and secretly for this matter and fight. There is a lot of news in the court, saying that the military officers have too much power and there are signs of not being bound by civil servants. Many people secretly clamor to suppress the military generals again.
Hong Chengchou was very nervous and excited. If it weren't for the "intensive training" in the past few months, if he had encountered such a thing in the past, he would have believed in the so-called surrender and sincerity when he encountered such a thing, and the consequences would be self-evident. Hong Chengchou secretly compared the gap between himself and Huang Taiji and found that if he led the army alone, he would be no match for Huang Taiji. In terms of being skilled, his strategy, and his scheming, he would be inferior to Huang Taiji.
Man Gui was the most depressed. Man Gui wanted to say that he would kill him in one breath and defeat Liaoyang City, no matter how he asked for peace or not, the order they received was to fight, not to negotiate peace. The emperor's strategy was not to let Huang Taiji surrender. But when Man Gui said this, he couldn't continue. The Donglu had to give up the city and shouted to fight... Man Gui's tone was deflated for a long time and could not spit it out.
"This Huang Taiji is indeed a powerful figure. He dares to be a wise man. He is very cunning. Commander-in-chief, several lords, we still have to be careful!... The goal of this battle is just to take Liaoyang, and the Tatars intend to give up Liaoyang..., this..., with all their strength and falls into the air, it is not good!" Hong Chengchou "reflected" for a while, and suddenly said.
"...Or, the lower official will lead the troops to rush for a while before talking..." Man Gui couldn't hold it in anymore and said.
As soon as he said this, Qin Liangyu and several officials stared at him. When Man Gui rushed forward, the emperor's strategy was broken, and he also left a reputation for not caring about the lives of soldiers. Obviously, everyone was about to surrender and surrender. They all said they were going to give up the city. You have to fight for your own selfishness. Didn't you be crazy about credit? Who would you impeach?
I was silent for a while.
"This matter, to be honest, it was a mistake in my command. Let's do it. Since it comes, let's do it. Whether the Tatars are willing to give up Liaoyang or pretend to surrender. In short, we will get Liaoyang first as agreed before, and then take it to Liaoyang, and then rely on Liaoyang City to launch a scout war, cover the battlefield, and threaten the Tatars' nest..." Qin Liangyu was depressed for a while, and was also deflated for a while. Finally, he made up his mind that no matter how the Tatars traveled, he would follow the planned path.
"The commander-in-chief is right. I don't care about the plan of the alienation of the enemy's chief Huang Taiji for the time being. I believe that with Mr. Sun and His Majesty, the enemy's chief's plan will not be easily successful..." Mao Wenlong said with a statement. Now that this matter has exceeded the scope of their handling, they have no right to deal with it, and now they can only believe in the emperor. Thinking of the various rumors in the court, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried that the emperor and the ministers would have a fierce dispute, and finally all parties would constrain the army that attacked the Donglu. Some people in the court did not do a good job, but when it comes to pulling their backs, they were very clever, and Mao Wenlong had a deep understanding.
"Mao Shuai is right. I believe that with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely be able to see through the tricks. Let's wait for the news..." Hong Chengchou also said, he handed over all his hopes to the emperor for this matter. With his understanding of the emperor, he felt that this matter was nothing at all.
Mangui has no objection...
...
In the formation of the Later Jin army.
Huang Taiji is looking into the south from afar.
There was a large army of the Ming Dynasty.
"What, give up Liaoyang City? No, absolutely not. You dog slave, you are so brave, you dare to hand over the Liaoyang City of the Great Jin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. You dog slave who is trampled on you, Benbeile slashed you with one knife..." Amin had a hot temper. When he heard that he wanted to give up Liaoyang City to the Ming Dynasty, his temper immediately broke out and he wanted to cut Liaoyang City to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Help Khan, hell, hell!..." The envoy who had just spoken well in the Ming Dynasty military formation could only ask Huang Taiji for help at this moment. This was all Huang Taiji asked him to say.
"Stop..." Huang Taiji shouted.
Amin stopped, took the knife back, glared at the messenger, and pointed his anger at Huang Taiji.
"How can I give Liaoyang City to the Ming Dynasty? This Liaoyang was finally defeated by my great Jin Dynasty. Now I will give it to the Ming Dynasty at once, but I don't agree..." Amin said hatefully.
"Don't accept it? Are you willing to defend Liaoyang City? That's fine, I'll ask you to..." Huang Taiji said calmly.
"...This..." Amin was speechless in an instant. Although Amin was a reckless man and his brain was not very good, he also knew that Liaoyang City could not be defended. The Ming Dynasty's things that could ascend to heaven gave Amin a deep impression. When he thought of the kind that could ascend to heaven, the courage to defend the city in Amin's heart was quickly wiped out.
"Since Liaoyang cannot be defended, what's wrong with giving it to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood, as long as people are fine, now what I lack most is people. Fight with the Ming Dynasty and cannot afford to lose money..." Huang Taiji explained. In fact, Huang Taiji was not willing to explain too much to Amin, a reckless man. If he didn't say anything, he would be completely unfair to talk to Amin. However, Amin is the second major belle and has extremely heavy rights. Sometimes he has to explain to him.
"Don't be afraid of Chengxian, get up." Huang Taiji said to the messenger who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Thank you for saving your life!" The messenger became scared.
"Khan, giving up Liaoyang may be a good move, but if the Khan takes the thorns and apologizes for the crime, and goes to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to carry the thorns and apologizes for the crime, I still feel that it is inappropriate. Khan, this is not allowed..." Dorgon suddenly interrupted and asked. Khan had a dispute with the two shellfish, and he deliberately interrupted.
"It's okay, this is just a delay. Without discussing the fact that Wuyin and Chou came out, how can I go to the Ming Dynasty? Fourteenth brother! What I lack now is time. Last year, I got a lot of ranches in Lin Danhan. I just returned to Qingqing this year. It is a good opportunity to restore my strength. If I continue to fight like this, I, Dajin, myself can't stand it... Shengjing can no longer raise any food and grass..." The emperor said the truth helplessly.
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but hang his head. In recent years, he had been fighting almost every year, and he encountered drought and the things he produced were not enough to eat. Fortunately, he stole a lot of things from Lin Danhan and barely survived. Now, it is indeed at the point where the lamps are dry and the oil is gone. The concubines of Shengjing even have to participate in the work themselves.
"No, no!... I will give up Liaoyang if I don't fight a war. I, Amin, are unwilling to give up. Without Liaoyang, can the Ming Dynasty fight Shengjing directly? What should I do if Shengjing?..." Amin still shouted loudly.
"Give up Liaoyang may not be a good thing. The front line of the Ming Dynasty was getting longer. Instead, more troops were needed to maintain, and the supply front line was longer, making it easier for our army to find opportunities. Just find one opportunity..." Huang Taiji said hatefully.
"...What about Shengjing? What about Shengjing? Don't want it anymore?" Aming asked loudly, regardless of whether Huang Taiji was a knight or not.
To be continued...
