Chapter 207 The humiliated little pockmark

Chapter 207 The shy and humiliating little mazi

"Wu Sangui, old thief! Shameless old thief!"

"Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Despicable dog thief--!"

"Ebilong! Tuhai! Yue Le! Chani! Stupid! Wass! Idiot!***! *** thief———!"

Those who can make such a shouting and roar at the top of their lungs must be the only way to eat bran and drink all the roars in this era cannot do anything Mazi Emperor Kangxi Kang Xiaomazi. And those who can make Kang Xiaomazi roar so angry are naturally the reason why the latest battle report of the Yangtze River defense line signed with the peace agreement signed by Ebilong was sent to the capital together.

However, we can't blame our Mazi for being undescendant and unconscious. The main reason is that the old traitor Wu bullies people too much, Fatty Lu is too good at harming people, Tu Hai and Yue Le and other Qing army front-line commanders are too useless, and the full-power negotiator sent by Xiao Mazi is too incompetent. The degree of uselessness and incompetence can not only be described as deeply insulting my expectations, but is simply a waste of money and harming people!

Previously, Xiao Mazi and Xiaozhuang's old witch had great expectations for this ceasefire, because just a month ago, Xiao Mazi, who was basically used to receiving bad news, suddenly received several good news reports, all of which reported that Lai Xiao Mazi, Hongfu, defeated Wu's second traitor Wu Yingqi's army several times, killed more than 50,000 enemies (the number is correct), and captured countless Wu's army's weapons (the cloud ladder made of mixed wood). Wu Ni's army was invincible. Xiao Mazi's majestic strategic goal of limiting Wu Ni's army's activities to Pianyuan territory is just around the corner!

For the Qing Dynasty, who lost most of the main elites in three months and lost Sichuan and Yuan, the several clever memorials of the Qing army in Wuchang were like a shot of heart-warming agents and a life-saving rain after a long drought. It greatly stabilized the Qing Dynasty, which was already in danger after a continuous attack. Even the long-lost voices of praise began to reverberate in the Forbidden City occupied by the Tartars. Xiao Mazi and the old witch of Xiaozhuang also began to fantasize whether they could exchange for a ceasefire at a smaller price to save the Prince of the Qing Dynasty captured by the Wu army, and to gain time to prepare for a full counterattack?

Immediately afterwards, the news that Zhou Bangning and Jueluo and Zhuman, two reinforcements arrived at the battlefield in time to strengthen the Yangtze River defense line, inevitably made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang and the important officials of the Qing court full of confidence in the negotiations and discussions. The arrogant voice of refusing to negotiate and directly exterminate Wu Gou also began to appear in the morning court where Xiao Mazi finally took over the power. In this regard, Xiao Mazi, who was somewhat self-aware, dared not dream of it, but was also full of extreme expectations. The Qing army, who hoped that the Wuchang Qing army, who occupied the right time, place, and people, would teach the old traitor Wu a lesson on the battlefield and force the old traitor Wu to make greater concessions at the negotiating table.

The first blow to the little mazi in my dream is our fat man Lu Sanhao. The prince of Pingnan, Shang Zhixin, reported that Wu Wei and Lu Fatty's troops joined forces to join Guizhou. In just over a month, they swept the entire Guangxi. The governor of Guangxi Ma Xiong died for his country. The Guangxi admiral Ma Xiong was forced to surrender. Guangxi General Sun Yanling led his army to surrender. The second prince of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion Geng Juzhong led his army to surrender to the Wu army. The second prince of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion Shang Zhixiao led his army to surrender to the Wu army. The entire territory of Guangxi fell into the hands of the Wu army!

What made Xiao Mazi, Xiaozhuang and the Qing court even more stunned and disbelief was that the Pingnan King Shang Kexi, who was loyal to the Qing court, personally led 40,000 main force of the Guangdong Qing army into Guangxi, but was defeated by Lu Fatty Lu alone in a battle. Shang Kexi was captured on the battlefield, becoming the third captured by Wu's army and the second captured by Lu Fatty Lu! Shang Kexi's remnants were forced to retreat to Guangdong and put pressure on the Wu's army's eastern front!

Fatty Lu's slap not only completely knocked Xiao Mazi's head out of fever, but also made Xiao Mazi's face miserable. Everyone knows that Fatty Lu was originally a favorite minister whom Fatty Lu was very favored. In order to reuse Fatty Lu, the Qing court also caused countless storms, and even forced Xiao Mazi to send a senior official like the Zuodu Censor of the Censorate to go south to mediate and investigate the case of Fatty Lu and the prefect. The importance he attached to Fatty Lu can be seen. However, Fatty Lu is now using such means to repay Xiao Mazi. The ugly face of Fatty Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little

Just when Xiao Mazi swears to cut Fatty Lu into meat sauce and feed the dog, the second heavier slap hits the stick. Wuchang was captured by the Wu army, and only more than 10,000 Qing army escaped the Yangtze River. The rest were either killed or captured by the Wu army along with more than 30,000 bannermen in the inner city of Wuchang!

After one night, the third blow was even harder. Ebilong actually signed a peace agreement, promising to compensate Wu's army for 30 million taels of silver and 5 million stones of grain. In addition, he had to take out five million taels of silver to redeem the Prince of Miqing and the Eight Banners who were captured by the Wu army! He also specifically asked to pay 70% within three months and pay all within one year!

The slap was heavier than the other, and the slap was louder than the other. Whether it was Tuhai and Yue Le who fled to Hanyang, or Ebilong, who was trapped in the enemy camp as hostage, they all insisted that the reason why the old traitor Wu was able to break through the impregnable Wuchang city overnight, Fatty Lu played a crucial key role in it! And the reason why Ebilong was forced to agree to the harsh conditions of the old traitor Wu was that Fatty Lu was playing a tantrum at the negotiating table, pretending to be a tiger's power and coercion!

After reading these two memorials, Xiao Mazi was naturally crazy, with blood-red eyes and jumping, singing claws, and cursing, wishing that he could immediately capture all the traitors of Wu, Fatty Lu, Tuhai, Yue Le and Ebilong, the traitors of thieves, and take them in front of him, and let them cut them to death with one piece of meat and feed them to the dog! The miliary and military officials in the Golden Palace all put their foreheads on the ground, trembling and frowning, for fear that Xiao Mazi would spill their anger on their heads, and cure them for a mistake in planning and ineffective support.

Fortunately, Xiao Mazi was also a mite deceased person and the general chrysanthemum who blew the drums of the sky and beat the Tartars. Although he was in a state of fury, he still did not pull the scapegoats randomly. Now that the situation is so critical, Xiao Mazi dared not pull the scapegoats randomly. The scapegoats are poaching the scapegoats and taking the foundation. The scapegoats are forced to force Han officials to the Wu Jun. Xiao Mazi, who is skilled in power, is still quite awake. So Xiao Mazi slowly calmed down and asked the eunuchs to pick up the two memorials that he had thrown into the middle of the Golden Palace, and asked in a hoarse voice: "My dear, things have come to this point. Let's all express their opinions on how to deal with the aftermath."

"Your Majesty, I believe that this peace must not be implemented." Mingzhu, a representative of the hawks in the Qing court, was the first to leave the list, and knelt on his knees and said: "The annual treasury income of the Qing Dynasty was only more than 20 million taels of silver, and the annual grain was only about five million stones of grain, and it was impossible to pay such a huge amount of military pay and food compensation! Moreover, the old thief Wu Sangui was ambitious and had a disobedient spirit. The so-called ceasefire was just to accumulate strength and consolidate the foundation. When his wings were full, he would sooner or later start a rebellion!"

"So, I think that instead of being wronged and selling everything in exchange for a temporary end, I would rather fight with the old thief Wu Sangui to the end. With the rich manpower and material resources of the Qing Dynasty, the wise and wise emperor, and the brave and good warriors of soldiers, it is only a matter of time before and night to eliminate Wu Ni, why should I endure this great humiliation?"

"I'm sorry," Liang Qingbiao, the Minister of Han of the Ministry of Revenue, knelt out and said carefully: "Because this year's Southwest War consumes a huge amount, the Qing Dynasty's treasury has been empty, with less than 500,000 taels of silver remaining, but the accumulated amount is one million, which is already ineffective. How can I pay such a huge military salary compensation?"

"Slave..., cough cough, cough." Mi Sihan, the old and sick minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also knelt out, coughed and kowtowed, saying: "Although the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, if the emperor wants to ask the slave to take out more than 20 million taels of silver within three months, the slave would have to commit suicide and apologize to the emperor. So the slave dared to ask the emperor to accept the proposal of Mingzhongtang and not to implement this peace agreement."

It would be strange if Xiao Mazi, who was planning to build a summer resort to kill rabbits, wanted to give the old traitor Wu so much money and food, but it was very pitiful that as the largest slave owner of Mi Qing, Xiao Mazi had to consider not only his wallet, but also other people in the slave owner class of Mi Qing. Moreover, Ebilong was the full-power negotiator sent by Xiao Mazi. If Ebilong had signed the contract and Xiao Mazi refused to implement it, how could Xiao Mazi maintain his golden words and jade words in the future? So although Xiao Mazi was extremely moved, his face was ashen and refused to speak, and he did not dare to support it.

As expected, the Minister of Personnel Mi Kan knelt out to Kana quickly and reminded: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that we still have tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the hands of the Wu thieves. If the emperor refuses to implement this peace agreement, then we will not betray the world, but what should we do if the bannermen and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and the captured prince Beile?"

Speaking of this, he paused to Kana and said tremblingly: "Besides, our 650,000 Qing army has now been lost nearly half, and the new army has not been equipped for training. If the war reopens, the old thief Wu Sangui goes south to capture Jiangxi and Jiangnan, how can our Qing Dynasty resist?"

Kana's words were considered the most critical point. If Xiao Mazi had not lost all the elites now, and there was no way to deal with the old traitor Wu for the time being. Why should I whisper to the old traitor Wu and beg for the whole thing? So Xiao Mazi's face was even more gloomy and terrified. Huang Teeth was so tight that her lips were almost bleeding, but she still didn't say a word. Mingzhu asked back: "Although it makes sense to the adults, who can give out the more than 30 million taels of silver or five million stones of grain? Who can take out the food?"

He was speechless to Kana, and after a while he coughed, he said, "Mingzhongtang, why did I want to persuade the emperor to be wronged and beg for the sake of justice? But once the emperor broke his promise, the old thief Wu Sangui was furious and vented his anger with the captive bannermen of our Qing Dynasty. What should they do? Should they watch them die tragically under the butcher Wu Gou's knife?"

Mingzhu really wanted to say that I care about them to die, but unfortunately, considering that this statement was made, Xiao Mazi might have been relaxed, but she offended the Miqing ruling group. Moreover, there were quite a few members of the Nalan family where Mingzhu was located, so Mingzhu had to shut up obediently and never dared to say a word again. The other court officials looked at each other, all of whom felt extremely difficult. I wonder how to choose, should I ask for money or should I be captured by the Wu army's lives?

After everyone was depressed for a long time, Soetu, another favorite of Xiaomazi, said timidly: "Master, can you try to renegotiate? You ask the old thief Wu Sangui to reopen the negotiations with the Qing court to see if you can put some military pay, food and ransom down?"

"Would the old thief Wu Sangui be so stupid?" Xiao Mazi asked coldly, "Besides, Ebilong has signed the contract and asked for a new negotiation, but isn't he breaking his promise?"

Soetu retreated dejectedly. Wang Xu, the current Minister of War, is the old favorite of Fatty Lu, stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Suo's proposal is worth a try. According to Weichen's judgment, although the old thief Wu Sangui won consecutive battles in four months, after many fierce battles, the army soldiers must have been extremely tired. Moreover, after he invaded Sichuan, Guangxi and Panyuan, the control area suddenly expanded several times. There must be many internal problems. It is also urgent to take time to recuperate and consolidate the results of the war. A temporary ceasefire is beneficial to them."

"So I believe that Lord Suo's proposal is worth a try, and send an imperial envoy south to explain the reason to Wu Sangui, confess that the Qing court is indeed unable to pay such a huge amount of military salary and food, and ask Wu Sangui to understand the difficulties of the court and the emperor, or reduce the amount or relax the payment period. Based on Wu Sangui's current actual situation, I believe that there is a great hope of success."

"This..." Xiao Mazi began to be moved. Liang Qingbiao, the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, applauded Kana and said in unison: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is right. As long as we don't take out so much food, grass and military pay at once, our Qing court will be much more relaxed."

"Mr. Wang said very much. If we can pay this military salary and food for ten years, then our Qing Dynasty treasury will be able to bear it. Moreover, the old thief Wu Sangui is also eager to cease the war now, and I believe that this move will be successful and hopeful."

Xiao Mazi's face finally eased a little. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Mazi nodded and said, "Wang Aiqing's words are reasonable, and it is indeed worth a try." After that, Xiao Mazi frowned again and said, "But there is another point. Even if the old thief Wu Sangui agreed to extend the payment period, he proposed to continue to detain the prisoners in his hands as a stake. If he does not pay the full amount, he will never let them go. What should he do?"

"Emperor, I have an idea about this." Xiong Cilu, who had not spoken, knelt out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty Wu Sangui's old thief is in charge of the army with his son-in-law and son-in-law. All those who value it is relatives. If the emperor sends someone to bribe Wu Sangui's old thief with gold and silver beauties, he will persuade them to release our army's captives in advance. With Wu Sangui's old thief's indecisive and cowardly character, he will definitely succeed."

"Nonsense!" Wang Xu said furiously: "Long live my emperor, I am the lord of the nine fives. How can I use this little trick?"

"Mr. Wang, when Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to kill Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, if Emperor Gaozu of Tang did not bribe Emperor Yang's close servants, how could he survive?" Xiong Cilu retorted dissatisfiedly: "There is also King Wen of Zhou who was imprisoned by King Zhou. If King Wu had not bribed King Zhou and favored him, how could he return to Xiqi? Could it be that Emperor Gaozu of Tang, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou were also sluts?"

Wang Xu was speechless and said hard for a while: "Anyway, my emperor is the true dragon emperor. If you do this, you will be the best part of your life."

"Wang Aiqing's words are reasonable. I am the true dragon emperor and the lord of the world. It is indeed inappropriate to do this inappropriate thing. I will not discuss this." Xiao Mazi shook his head and sighed, then waved his hand and said, "But no matter what, Aiqing's proposal is still worth a try. The minister is willing to volunteer and go to Wuchang to persuade the old thief Wu Sangui to agree to extend the payment period and release our army's prisoners of war in advance?"

No matter if such a job is done, it will be scolded if it is not done. If it is angered by the old traitor Wu, it may lead to other consequences and take the blame. Therefore, all the civil and military officials present closed their mouths. Only Wang Xu said with a tough forehead: "Your Majesty, this proposal was proposed by Lord Suo, and it is also agreed by Weishu, so Weishu should take the post. He just needs to ask Lord Suo to go with him to be the chief and Weishu as the deputy, so there is a discussion."

"Damn, why do you have to bring me up for this kind of scolding?" Soetu cursed wildly in his heart and kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, this proposal was proposed by a slave, and he should take up his post. However, the slave had been very dirty with the old thief Wu Sangui before. If he took on this job, he would be afraid that it would be counterproductive. Instead, the old thief Wu Sangui refused sternly, which would have misled the country's affairs. So I suggested that it would be better for Lord Wang to take this post alone."

Of course, Xiao Mazi also knew that this was a slander. Considering that Soetu is now the chief minister of the dynasty and needs to regulate Yin and Yang to manage all officials, it is indeed inconvenient to take the blame, so Xiao Mazi nodded quickly and said, "Suo Aiqing is indeed incompatible with Wu Sangui. I am afraid it will be unfair to go there, so I still feel sorry for Wang Aiqing for working hard. I will let Xiong Cilu Xiong Aiqing be your deputy. Please ask Kong Sige, who has a close relationship with Wu Fan, to come out and take the responsibility together. I hope Wang Aiqing should not refuse for his family, country and the world."

"Of course I dare not refuse." At this point, Wang Xu, who also understood that this was a conspiracy, had no choice but to change his words, so he could only say, "But I have something to say first, and persuaded Wu Fan to extend the payment period for military pay, food, grass and prisoners of war ransom. I explained the truth to Wu Fan and explained the truth to Wu Fan, and perhaps he was still two or three sure, but I really didn't have enough strength to ask Wu Fan to release our prisoners of war in advance."

"Your dear, do your best. If you really can't do it, I won't blame you." Xiao Mazi sighed, but glanced at Xiong Cilu, who was kneeling beside Wang Xu, and secretly cursed Xiong Cilu in his heart - the proposal of bribing the old traitor Wu's confidant and lackey to prompt the old traitor Wu to change his decision. How could he make so many people in the big court? Isn't this forcing Xiao Mazi to object in public, and be a villain in person and behind his back?

"Then I will do my best." Wang Xu kowtowed and agreed, and said carefully: "Emperor, I will do my best to persuade Wu Fan to be graceful for the time being. However, for the sake of the emperor's authority and the court's face, I also ask the emperor to prepare for both ways. If the negotiations fail, I hope the emperor will formulate a response plan earlier to avoid sudden and temporary hasty things."

Xiao Mazi's face became gloomy again. After a long time of consideration, Xiao Mazi ordered weakly: "Send the order to let the prince Beile and the officials and gentry in various places understand the difficulties of the court, and give money and grain to the court, and do their best to raise it. Then I sent the order to Nanjing, only half of the grain for this year can be transported north, and the rest will be stored in Nanjing for the time being."

"I will send another order to stop the construction of Chengde Summer Resort, Mulan Hunting Ground and Xishan Garden, and free up money and grain in case of any situation."

"I will send you another order. I will not pay double-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-t

"In addition, the construction of palace pavilions and pavilions in the palace has been stopped, and the 1,500 beautiful ladies who are preparing to choose are no longer selected."

"My meals should be cut in half, just 108 dishes per meal..."
