Chapter 457: Sima Zhao's Heart

Looking at the wooden box in front of him and the one inside that was dying with eyes closed, Wu Sangui was furious and his eyes were red. He wanted to read the book w◆WShuWShu. 11 ̄ He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, reached out to close his brother's eyes, picked up the box and turned around and left.

"Where are you going?"

"Revenge." Wu Sangui squeezed out two words from his teeth.

Duoduo stepped forward to stop him, "How do you want to take revenge? Just rush out like this, and then rush under the Great Wall to attack and break the city?"

"This revenge will be avenged." Wu Sangui said with a hatred.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so he may not be able to avenge him now." Duoduo grabbed Wu Sangui, "Calm down. If you are angry now and lead your troops to the gate, wouldn't that be the case of Liu Jiye's trick? Wouldn't you hear that you will not send troops with anger?"

"My elder brother can't die in vain."

Duoduo pulled Wu Sangui back to his seat, "No one said he would let General Wu die in vain. I turned around and asked the court to posthumously grant General Wu the Duke and allow his son to inherit the title."

Haoge also came over, "Impulse cannot solve the problem, so I'd better calm down and discuss countermeasures first."

Liu Jun killed Wu Sanfeng and sent him back one level, which was indeed beyond their expectations. They originally thought that if they asked Wu Sanfeng to go, they would express their feelings, then Liu Jiye would be very happy to cooperate with them. No one expected that Liu Jiye would actually cut Wu Sanfeng with one blow.

"Liu Jiye really doesn't understand this. Is he really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty? Don't he want to negotiate peace?" Ajige said, touching his beard.

Zu Dashou was also very angry, but he remained calm.

"I don't think Liu Jiye will be a loyal minister, and I think Liu Jiye will definitely be willing to negotiate peace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have retreated his troops to defend. If he wanted to fight, the soldiers from Liaodong would have already reached the city of Liaoyang."

"What does he mean?"

Zu Dashou shook his head, but he couldn't understand it.■Yikanshu ww.1>

"What should we do now?"

"Continue to send people to negotiate." Duoduo said slowly. Now they are hard to get off the horse, and it is impossible not to talk. If they really want to fight, they cannot break the defense of the Ming army, and more than 100,000 people will not be able to stay there. It is the end of March now, and the ice on the Liao Sea is almost melting. The ice on the Liao River is about to melt.

This means that the Ming army will soon be able to launch a large-scale counterattack.

Whether it is to sweep the 6th coastal areas of Liaodong, to intercept supplies in western Liaoning, or even cut off their way back, or to attack Liaoyang directly from the Liaohe River, it will never be good news.

For the Qing army, they were still willing to negotiate peace, and the key was to retain the benefits of this time the troops were occupied.

This time they sent troops, they actually took back Liaoxi, which had been handed back to the Ming army. Of course, it was obtained by accepting Wu Sangui Zu Dashou's surrender.

For the Qing army, they not only took back western Liaoning, but also recruited Wu Sangui Zu Dashou and others, which was extremely important for them who had just experienced that big defeat.

After getting so many benefits, it would be beneficial for them to renegotiate with the Ming army. Previously, Duoduo asked Wu Sanfeng to meet Liu Jun and proposed to support Liu Jun as the emperor. The purpose was to preserve these results directly, and even to get more.

Unfortunately, Liu Jiye killed Wu Sanfeng with one sword, which made Duoduo a little confused about Liu Jiye’s true thoughts.

At least Liu Jiye has not accepted their support now, so Duoduo's plan to threaten Liu Jiye's miscalculation.

"Send people to the south again, but this time we have to go publicly in the name of the messenger."

"Try it first." Haoge couldn't think of any better way. If it really didn't work, then they had to retreat to western Liaoning.

.........

"The Qing emperors have sought peace!"

As soon as the envoy sent by the Qing people entered the Great Wall, the news was immediately transmitted back to the capital. ※A reading book w_ww.1>

"As soon as the prince came out, the Qing emperor immediately asked for peace."

When the people of the capital heard this news, they all felt relieved and took it for granted. The prince had never lost a battle yet, especially the prince had encircled and annihilated the Tartars in the Liaohe River and killed Huang Taiji in the formation. They broke into Liaoyang and surrounded Chenyang. They were the nemesis of the Tartars. If a prince came out to the capital to supervise the army, wouldn't the Tartars know that they were powerful?

"I just don't know how the court will deal with this time."

"If I want to say it, I can't agree to the peace. Wu Ni rebelled, and the Qing people immediately took the opportunity to invade me in western Liaoning. How can I forgive me? Don't say anything, fight back, break his Liaoyang and surround him Shenyang."

"Hey. This man, you are standing and talking without feeling the pain in your back, right? Fight as soon as you say it, why don't you fight? Once this war starts, there will definitely be countless casualties. Which official army is not raised by his parents? And how can you know that the war will definitely win? If there is an accident, the Tartars will be allowed to enter the pass, and the unlucky people will not be the people. Besides, even if you can win, once the war starts, you will definitely have to recruit people and prices will rise sharply."

The man was held back and had to whisper, "But you can't just discuss it like this. Then our western Liaoning will be lost in vain, and Wu Nizu Ni will be rebelled in vain?"

"You don't have to worry about these things. The imperial court will definitely have countermeasures. With the princes here, they will never let the Tartars become arrogant."

When the news of the Qing people's peace was passed back to the court, the ministers in the court were indeed talking about this matter.

There was almost no need to discuss it. He assisted Wu Yan to the Minister of War Chen Xinjia, Privy Councilor Fan Jingwen, etc., all agreed that when he accepted the peace of the Qing Dynasty, he began to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty.

No one was willing to fight. Even if Liu Jun, the prince who could fight, was personally in charge of the army, the officials in the court still had a natural fear of the Qing army.

On the other hand, Wu Qi also advocated peace talks. Wandian was unwilling to let Liu Jun lead his troops to fight against the Qing army. If he defeated, it would be a disaster, and he would be the auxiliary as the assistant. If he won, Liu Jiye's prestige would go further. Compared with the fact that he had advocated surrendering Wu Sangui and asking for title to Wu Sangui, he would be even more suppressed by Liu Jun.

Let’s negotiate peace now, and recall Liu Jun immediately, and he will preside over the peace talks.

Wu Yan invited Chen Xinjia to his own room in the cabinet.

"I soldier, I want to invite you to preside over this peace talk." As soon as Chen Xinjia entered the door, Wu Xuan said straight to the point.

"I am just a sluggish bench now. The Ministry of War is just an idle yamen. For such an important matter, the Privy Council must be responsible for the negotiations."

Wu Yan shook his head, "Don't mention the Privy Council, the Privy Council is now his personal belonging to him. Fu Shan relies on Liu Jiye as the backstage and does not take Fan Jingwen seriously in the Privy Council. He takes care of everything, and is simply a waste of time, robbing the main people and snatching power. The Privy Council is now completely Fu Shan's one-man show, and Fu Shan mainly focuses on Liu Jun's meaning in everything. To put it bluntly, I can't believe them."

Chen Xinjia raised his eyebrows, "Not only the Privy Council, but also the Ministry of War. Deng Yuan, commander of the 6th Army, commander of the Navy Zheng Zhilong, commander of the General Equipment Zhao Shun, and commander of the General Logistics Qin Liangyu, are all from Liu Jiye. Now the Ministry of War has established cavalry commander, artillery commander, commander of engineer, commander of the 6th Army Navy, commander of the 6th Navy team. All kinds of official positions that have never been heard of before have emerged, and all appointed are Liu Jiye's people, either his brothers, his relatives, or his disciples."

After having the Military Affairs Office and the Privy Council, the Ministry of War lost the power to transfer troops and became a simple military and political department. Now, after Liu Jun set up various commanders of the Ministry of War, he divided the only real power left by the Ministry of War to his subordinates. Now, he, the Minister of War, is to put it bluntly, that is, he manages files and stamps.

"Yuanfu, there are many clues in the Ministry of War. Liu Jiye laid off the original military towns on a large scale, and arranged his old troops to reorganize new troops, and secretly built several towns of troops. According to the information found, in addition to the open towns, Liu Jiye also controlled at least 100,000 troops in his hands, which were all not found on the Ministry of War's roster. A shadow army could not be found in the tent, the organization, the number of people, the station, and nothing was known. But such a shadow army had no less than 100,000 troops, and it was in the capital. It was terrible to think about it."

"I don't think that Liu Jiye spent a lot of money to raise a 100,000 ghost army, just to secretly guard the territory of Daming."

Wu Qing sighed.

"I understand now. The key is that Liu Jiye controls the financial power. He holds the money in his hand and can do whatever he wants. But we don't have a penny in our hand, and we can't do anything we want."

He sighed and said, "By the way, Your Majesty went out of the capital to hunt in the West Mountain, have you not come back yet?"

"I haven't come back yet."

"When will Your Majesty hunt?" Wu Qing said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't there anyone who can persuade Your Majesty well? Your Majesty is so young but not easy to study. Instead, he either rides and shoots or hunts all day long. I heard that Your Majesty himself had recruited the children of Piaoxunqi to build a dragon cavalry company imitating the new army, and became the company commander of the upper captain? Isn't this a nonsense?"

"It's not Liu Jiye, I'm following His Majesty everything. You don't know that the court's finances are so tight, but Liu Jiye gave His Majesty five or six million silver dollars openly and secretly. In less than a year, all the silver dollars have been entered into His Majesty's inner treasury. With so many silver dollars, His Majesty still does whatever he wants to do."

"No wonder Your Majesty will obey Liu Jiye's will and obey everything. If you can give Your Majesty five or six million private money a year, Your Majesty will probably obey you." Chen Xinjia smiled helplessly. "It's the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it's just the time to have fun. I guess I won't come back if I don't have enough fun. Fortunately, the capital is now stable and there are guards accompanying you, so don't worry too much about safety."

Wu Qi frowned, "If this continues, wouldn't he be another Emperor of Wuzong?"

"If Liu Jiye is really happy, then he will be abusing his power and politicians."

"I think this Liu Jiye is Wang Mang and Sima Zhao." (To be continued.)
