Chapter 642 - Land Cession, Indemnity, and Affinity

"Dolgon wants to make peace? Hehe, okay, then I'll make a price. There are three conditions for me, one is to cut the land! You Qing have to cede the land of Liaodong Jinzhou to me Daming! The second is the indemnity, Dolgon slaughtered Datong first, and then dug Kong Lin, the crime is monstrous, and now it is impossible to arrest him and ask him for the crime, so he has to let the Qing country pay the silver! The third is to be friendly, and I have to send Donggu Gege to Dengzhou, raise it for a few years, and then give me a concubine......"

Danya Mountain, Penglai Palace. Zhu Cihong, the Hongxing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was in the main hall discussing the conditions for peace with two envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty, Jin Zhijun and Fan Chengmo.

Well, the conditions are nothing for the Qing Dynasty. It is the cession of land, the payment of compensation, and the ...... It's all what the Qing Kingdom is good at!

As long as Zhu Cihong gets these three things, the defeat of Guishan will naturally become a "strategic victory" - if there is no victory, how can the Great Qing Kingdom be willing to cede land, pay compensation, and make peace? In history, when the Qing Kingdom was the most miserable, that is, the land was ceded and the compensation was paid, it seems that there was no harmony, right?

"He Qinhao said that Huang Ama and Gege are willing, but this loss of money and land ...... Cut the Golden State, this is not good! ”

Jin Zhijun looked embarrassed, in fact, it was easy to say that he lost money...... It's just a few million, and if you want a few million Qing Dynasty, you can't ask for a hundred or two hundred thousand, and you can let the Nine Great Emperor Merchants pay for it.

But the cession of Jinzhouwei on the Liaodong Peninsula is really a little difficult to accept! The Qing Dynasty has long regarded the bit of land outside the gate as the self-reserved land of the children of the Nine Banners, how can it be ceded to Nanming?

"Yes," Fan Chengmo also said, "Guanwai is the fundamental place of my Qing Dynasty, and there is no reason to cede it...... Moreover, the cold and bitter land of Jinzhou is not suitable for farming, and it is useless for the Han people to learn about it. If Your Majesty wants the good of the Southern Ming and Northern Qing Dynasty to last for a long time, it is best to withdraw from Jinzhou, and our dynasty can exchange the states and counties of the Central Plains for the land of Jinzhou. ”

"Fan Chengmo, it seems that you still want to be destroyed!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "He didn't want to be in peace with me for a long time...... Didn't he just want to delay for a few years, so that he could reorganize the army and expand the Nine Banners, and then compete with me in the world? The long-term harmony between the Ming and Qing dynasties is nothing more than a deceptive nonsense. I'm also an understanding person, so let's just pick it out! ”

What the? Did Dorgon really think so?

Jin Zhijun and Fan Chengmo glanced at each other, both a little suspicious, no, not suspicious, but completely convinced!

Dolgondo's treacherous Emperor Amma! Not only sleeping with the Queen Mother, but also coercing the Son of Heaven, now they have all developed into the Emperor Ama! Will he be so honest and live in harmony with the Ming Dynasty? It must be to fight for a few years, stabilize the situation, rectify the Qing Dynasty inside and out, and then compete with Nanming for the world.

After all, the Qing Dynasty is a country that was founded in the beginning, full of vigor and prosperity, where can the Ming Dynasty be compared with an old state of almost 300 years?

In the country of the beginning of the rise, everyone is motivated, everyone is striving to be the first, once it stabilizes, it is advancing by leaps and bounds!

And once the Southern Ming Dynasty stabilizes, it will be the same as the Southern Song Dynasty, asking Qin Huai to stop singing and dancing for a while, and make Nanjing Beijing......

Huang Ama is really clever!

When the two Qing envoys admired Dolgon in their hearts, Zhu Cihong spoke again, "It's better to do this, let's sign a time-limited peace treaty...... Five years, five years as a limit, no one will fight anyone, and each will recuperate. What about five years from now, let's talk about it. ”

Zhu Cihong thought in his heart that it is now 1648 in the Western calendar, and adding 5 years is 1653...... Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig must all be dead, and it should be easy to go on a northern expedition by then.

Well, there's no shame in comparing life to the enemy...... Zhu Cihong has decided to be a long-lived monarch - Zhu Yuanzhang finally favored him as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, of course, he will hold the emperor's throne for a long time!

"I don't know how much compensation Emperor Ming wants?" Kim Zhijun turned the conversation to the matter of losing money.

Jinzhouwei is actually not a question of whether to cut or not, but a question of whether the Ming army can withdraw or not!

The Ming army just won't leave, what can Dolgon do? The terrain of the Jinzhou Peninsula is so narrow that the Ming army has dug trenches and built sandbag walls at the isthmus at the entrance to the peninsula. If you want to attack, don't even think about killing tens of thousands of people!

If an indefinite peace treaty were signed, the cession of the Golden State might become a condition that would not be easy for Dolgon to account, but now it is only for a five-year period, and that would be nothing...... Just call back in five years!

So the amount of compensation is a big question!

Zhu Cihong stretched out a finger: "One million stone white noodles...... I don't want much, it's not much, is it? ”

A million stone is not much?

Jin Zhijun and Fan Chengmo's faces are dark!

The Great Qing Dynasty only collects more than 400,000 stone flour in agricultural taxes a year, and you, the lion of the Southern Ming Emperor, will go to a quarter of it when you open your mouth!

"No, no! I can't produce that much food. ”

"It can't be...... If Your Majesty is sincere in negotiating peace, don't mention such an unattainable condition. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk so much...... Now let's talk about the relatives, although Gege can't be the queen, but I won't give less of the dowry that should be given, so I will give the high-grade silk and cotton cloth worth 1 million taels of silver, which is subject to the price of silk cotton in Dengzhou City! ”

What the? Isn't this a silk and cotton cloth worth 1 million taels of silver for 1 million stone flour?

Jin Zhijun and Fan Chengmo immediately understood - the compensation is fake, but the buying and selling of grain is real!

There are many people in Nanming, and there is a food panic from time to time, and there is no edge when the white rice noodles grow...... Anyway, when it is cheap, the face price of rice in Nanjing and Yangzhou is rarely lower than one, two, two, three dollars and one stone.

Anyway, Emperor Zhu will definitely not be able to lose 1 million taels of silver silk cotton in exchange for 1 million stone flour, most of them can still make a lot of money, and he looks good - the Qing Dynasty has paid compensation!

As for the silk cotton given by the Ming Dynasty, it was the dowry of Dong Gege, how can Dong Gege be the princess of Heshuo in the Qing Dynasty, isn't it worth a little silk cotton?

Besides, the amount of dowry will not be written in the peace treaty between the two countries, it is the marriage contract between Zhu Cihong and Donggu Gege...... Although the marriage contract between the two countries must also go down in history, it is relatively easy to make false accounts.

Jin Zhijun and Fan Chengmo exchanged glances with each other, and there was a drama in the peace talks!

At this time, a small yellow door hurriedly walked into the main hall and muttered a few words in Zhu Cihong's ear.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Two, these conditions I put forward must be decided by Dolgon...... All you have to do is play! That's all for today's negotiations, but don't be in a hurry to leave, I have three people to meet with you, and they are Hesheri. Sony, Sun Zhiqi and Kong Sixi are all great officials of your Qing Kingdom, and I want to exchange them and the families of the Qing army captured in Liaocheng and other places for the people, officials and military families that you plundered from Qufu. ”

It's going to be a prisoner exchange...... Of course, Dolgon will not refuse, Sony, Sun Zhiji, Kong Sixi and they are actually worthless, but the family members of the Zhenglu Flag in Zhu Cihong's hands can't help but exchange it back, they are all banner people and nobles, if they don't exchange it back, won't the Zhenglu Flag and the inlaid green flag that is about to be rebuilt drop in price?

And Zhu Cihong calculated this correctly, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of exchanging prisoners to stuff Sun Zhiqi and Kong Sixi back to the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, these two people are not good birds, especially Sun Zhiji, he has a share of the "Shaving Order" in history, and it stands to reason that he should have been taken to a thousand knives.

However, after Zhu Cihong became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his position on the problem was different. Although "Shaving Order" caused a bloody storm, it was not a good thing for Nanming, who was already in danger at that time? Without "Shaving Order", Jiangnan's resistance would be so fierce?

Although Nan Ming in history failed to seize the opportunity to fight back, he doesn't blame Sun Zhiqi who created opportunities for Nan Ming, right? The more traitors of the Qing Dynasty like Sun Zhiji, the more beneficial it will be to the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, Zhu Cihong wanted Sun Zhiqi to go back to the Qing Dynasty again, and if he created a disaster of the magnitude of "Shaving Order", Zhu Cihong promised to seize the opportunity to make a quasi-northern expedition to the Central Plains and recover the lost territory......
