Chapter 377: Liaoyang Peace Conference (Part 2)

Nurhaci's performance towards Cui Chengxiu was not surprising at all, and he sat on it and looked at it lightly.

He also knew that if the Ming Dynasty did not directly agree to this regulation, it would either be that the head would be squeezed or there would be a conspiracy.

Why should we ask important officials of the Ming Dynasty to come here to negotiate peace?

When peace talks, peace talks, and if one does not discuss, it will come up with a result that both sides are satisfied with. How can one make peace? Nurhaci didn't think that the Ming Dynasty could agree to this regulation.

It is mainly about peace, so it is best to knock out some gold and silver and roll it back to expand the military preparations. If it really doesn't work, it is okay to directly negotiate peace.

Although the lion's words written in the Nurhachi Regulations were made big, it was actually to facilitate the Ming Dynasty's bargaining price. His bottom line was very simple, just withdraw his troops and go back.

Xiong Tingbi didn't give him a chance, and Zhu Xieyuan's army also arrived. If he couldn't get along, he would be in danger of being surrounded, and it would be meaningless to waste it here.

The Ming Dynasty spent millions of taels of military expenses this time, and reinforcements also "recruited all the troops from the Qibian Town". It took a thousand miles to go out again and again, and the military expenses were millions. Is it so easy?

The territory of the Later Jin Dynasty is small and the collection is simple. It doesn’t even have to pay military expenses when you go, so it’s easier to go back.

Nurhaci was not afraid of fighting again. What he was afraid of was that he had been fighting for years. He could not waste Zhu Youxiao. This peace talks about peace talks without any kindness.

As long as the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty retreated and returned to their respective places, when to tear down the agreement and start working, it was the final decision of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Unless the Ming Dynasty conscripted a large army out of the pass, the Liaoshen border troops would still be unable to resist it.

It was simple to recruit large troops in the Ming Dynasty, and then withdraw troops to negotiate peace. Do you still dare to attack Hetuala and Jianzhou directly?

In this situation, Nurhaci may have to fight again when he goes out to fight against the Ming reinforcements, but he is not sure that he can win.

But if he wants to pull back the Later Jin and fight again, he is confident that he will do Sarhu again.

The Ming army rushed thousands of miles to attack Hetuala. Yang Hao still had a chance that time. Now, no one can come. Time has changed, and the strength and surrounding situations of both sides are different.

The reason is here. Nurhaci's interactions over and over again several times. The Ming army retreated after leaving the customs. If he did not leave the customs, he would continue to plunder in Liaodong and attack Liaoshen.

In his opinion, such a fighting style can easily consume the Ming army's vitality, so why bother to fight hard now?

Besides, Zhu Youxiao went out of seclusion and fought directly this time, which was something Nurhaci didn't expect. He never expected that Emperor Tianqi, who had just succeeded to the throne for three years, could be so tough.

Nurhaci looked at the angry Cui Chengxiu, leaned forward slightly, and said slowly:

"Don't be angry with the envoy. This peace talk was originally discussed by Dajin and Mingguo. This regulation is just our Dajin's opinion. The final signing depends on the intention of the envoy."

Choi Chengxiu was indignant for a moment, but she also took the trick and sneered:

"Do you really think that I was defeated by the Jurchens in the field of Daming?"

"The 200,000 elite troops from the nine sides have reached fifty miles west of Liaoyang City. If the war continues, the soldiers can arrive day and night. I want to see how you defeated generals resist!"

Nurhaci was not angry and said with a smile:

"In your opinion, this is true, but it is not convenient to argue today. Both sides stopped their troops and made peace. In the future, Ben Khan went to the capital to speak with Emperor Tianqi."

"how?"

When Fan Wencheng heard Nurhaci's meaning, he stopped pretending. He snorted coldly and said that he was relieved a little. Then he picked up the stamp and slapped it on the table and said:

"This regulation does not work, it must be repaired!"

Huang Taiji asked at the right time: "I don't know how the envoys want to amend the regulations. I, the kings of the Great Jin Dynasty, listen carefully."

Choi Chengxiu paced back and forth in the tent, pondering for a moment, and said:

"This war is very serious. Even if the troops are stopped and the people in your country will not be able to calm the anger of the people for a while. Your Majesty and your Khan will issue an edict to punish yourself for forgiveness."

"I am the envoy, I have both sides of this battle?" Huang Taiji repeated it, and when he saw Fan Wencheng nodding, he looked at Nurhaci with a confused expression.

Nurhaci didn't expect that the Minister of War in the Ming Dynasty thought so. He pretended to think, nodded slightly, and then asked:

"What else?"

When Cui Chengxiu saw Nurhaci's face was calm, neither happy nor angry, she thought to herself that she had said something too much, which made the old slave feel dissatisfied.

If the peace agreement fails this time, I will be forced to lose the emperor's will when I go back.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Since you have proposed peace talks first, it is considered to be a sincere peace talks. I agree with this second article, but the third article needs to be slightly modified."

"The ceremony of peace talks was changed to 50,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver, and 500 pieces of satin and 500 pieces of wool and green cloth. Only so many can be given in my dynasty!"

"As for your tribute, you must double it!"

Nurhaci was overjoyed and quite surprised.

In addition to being very dissatisfied with the first one, Cui Chengxiu was only half of the result of the gift of money between the two sides. Even if the tribute was doubled, this was nothing to Nurhaci.

Compared with the one-time gift from the Ming Dynasty, that thing is not worth mentioning at all.

Even if there is 50,000 taels of gold, I don’t know how much military Nurhaci can expand and how many new Jurchens will be recruited to join the Eight Banners Army.

This gift of gold may not be anything to the Ming Dynasty, but for Nurhaci, it not only relieves the urgent need, but also strengthens the gold medal!

Nurhaci suddenly stood up, pointed his hand outside the tent, and shouted:

"Since the peace talks have been decided, I will pass on the orders of the Khan to release all the prisoners of the Ming Kingdom. When I withdraw my troops, I will release some Liao people to be sincere."

Choi Chengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally promoted this peace talks, and said with a smile:

"In this way, when I report back to the Lord tomorrow, if the Lord approves the proceedings, I can sign a peace treaty."

Nurhaci nodded and waved:

"Come on, take the envoy down to rest and write memorials and report back to their emperor. They all remember that Cui Shangshu was Ben Khan's distinguished guest!"

When the kings Beile saw that Dajin had received the benefits, why would he scold him again? He gave a slight tribute and said in unison: "Abide by the order of Kundulun Khan!"

Shortly after Cui Chengxiu went down, Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said:

"Congratulations to the Khan for contributing the contract. I will receive this gift from Dajin and can expand the Eight Banners, conquer Korea in the south, and Beijing and Mongolia!"

Everyone was also overjoyed and said in unison: "Congratulations to Kundulun Khan!"

Nurhaci could no longer suppress his inner joy, and laughed:

"This Ming Dynasty ruler and minister should pay attention to the skill of face! After withdrawing the troops and returning to repair it, my Khan will definitely lead his troops to advance again and strait Liaoyang!"

......

The next day, the secret report of peace talks was sent to the capital without stopping.

In the past few days, the temperature in the Forbidden City has been cooler, and the new summer rain is scattered in the sky. Many pedestrians have changed into autumn clothes, and even the people on the streets are much less than usual.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting in the West Warehouse and felt slightly cold.

While watching the memorial, Wei Zhongxian took a few steps forward and gently put on Zhu Youxiao's coat, placed a notebook on the imperial desk, and said softly:

"Master, Cui Chengxiu is coming from Liaoyang's secret message."
