Chapter 626. Nanbei Ming
"And such a good thing?"
The court was silent for a few minutes, and Zhu Yousong incredibly said the thoughts of almost all the ministers.
Mao Jue's sue for peace is like a robber with a knife on your neck, and he is about to give you a blood on the ground, and suddenly the robber has a great understanding and believes in the Buddha.
However, looking at the happy appearance of his colleagues and ministers, Shi Kefa's tone became hurried again, kneeling on it, he clenched his fists heavily: "Your Majesty, everyone! Mao's summation is not unconditional! ”
"What does the regent want, Mr. Shi is here quickly!"
Hurriedly sat up on the fat body again, and helped the crown on his head, Emperor Hongguang asked impatiently again, and the rest of the scholars also pricked up their ears, their faces were heavy, and Shi Kefa took out the list of conditions drafted by Mao Jue yesterday.
"The two sides divide the river and rule, Huguang and Sichuan belong to my southern dynasty, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to his northern dynasty!"
"Yes!"
Most people are already mentally prepared for this, after all, these territories are under the actual control of Mao Jue, and it is interesting enough that people don't destroy you, why do you want to take it back? Zhu Yousong nodded directly, but the rest of the ministers acquiesced in their hearts, and their faces were silent, just like Chongzhen Dynasty, they waited for the big head to come out and take the blame, to prevent historical stigma and settle accounts after the autumn.
"Cut Shanghai County, Hangzhou, Ningbo County, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen Island, Xinnan County! Ceded Qiongzhou, Ryukyu, the Northern Dynasty stationed troops here, and the Southern Dynasty must not interfere! ”
"This ......"
It's not that it's too hard, it's too weird! Mao Jue's request to cede the land is rich and poor, since ancient times, the land has been ceded next to the border line to guard the area, he cut like a pearl necklace, along the southeast coast cut a large circle, militarily speaking, it is called the first not to care about each other, listening to this request, not only Zhu Yousong, the huge court, the ministers are confused.
Suddenly, Wang Qia jumped out angrily, pointed at Shi Kefa's nose and scolded: "What a Shi Pavilion Department, and you said that you didn't defect to the enemy!" In this court, you are clearly looking at Mao! ”
"Clearly for peace! You are trying to paralyze our dynasty, cut Shanghai and Hangzhou, and take advantage of the paralysis of our dynasty to outflank me from the rear, in a vain attempt to wipe out my Ming dynasty! What a wolf ambition! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yousong's old face immediately turned pale with fright, and he sat on the dragon chair trembling, and the ministers below were even more like boiling a pot, and the discussions and quarrels with each other were boiling, but listening to the angry scolding in his ears, Shi Kefa didn't even bother to explain, and stood up directly with his arms in his arms, just looking at his colleagues coldly.
"Please behead this traitor!"
It's a full-screen move again, Wang Qia, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, a large group of Donglin people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, if it was Chongzhen Dynasty, it is estimated that Shi Kefa would have to be dragged down by pulling out his official uniform immediately, but on the contrary, Zhu Yousong, the weak Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong that these "righteous people" encountered, had a fat head shaking like a rattle, and he was begging and shaking his head.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the two countries will not fight each other! What if Mr. Shi is injured and the regent crosses the river in a fit of rage? ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! Ladies and gentlemen, you think too highly of yourself, don't you? The regent doesn't want to negotiate peace, so he directly fights with a large army, why resist, rely on your king to negotiate? Or is it Gao Hongtu who abandoned your official position and fled? With your money? But I heard that I was not willing to send everyone Liu, and your old merry sect leader combed out the Gu family in Meilou and sent it to Jiangbei! Is there a need for the regent to make this detour? ”
No matter how thick-skinned he is, he was robbed by Ruan Dacheng and said that he was red-faced, especially Qian Qianyi, who was named by him, and there were some cracks in Donglin, and this news could not be hidden, many people had heard of Qian Qianyi's combing of Gu Hengbo, looking at his back, a group of people couldn't help but point.
The court was a little quiet, and Shi Kefa finally cleared his throat heavily: "Everyone, although Mao's rebellion and peace are sudden, it is not without a trace!" According to the official's estimate, Mao Wei can't hold back his desire for power, and he is going back to Beijing to be the emperor! Although Mao Yi is unstoppable, after all, he is only a military leader, short-sighted, and a little rich is safe, and it is expected that the north is enough to satisfy his appetite! ”
"On the other hand, Jiangnan Shilin's literary style is clear and his integrity is extremely positive, and he is also afraid that once he takes Jiangnan, Shilin will enter the court, which will create obstacles for his usurpation!"
"As for cutting these lands, the official doesn't think he has any bad intentions, and he is completely greedy! Mao reverses the importance of commerce, sea ships go directly to all countries in the South Seas, although these places are scattered, but regardless of rich or poor, it is a good port! He asked the caravan under his name to enter the Jiangnan to do business, and the court must not levy a penny of taxes, and the court merchants enter the north to do business, and they need to pay thirty percent of the commercial tax, and he also asked the court to pay 10 million taels of silver, four million taels of silver in Beigong, one million horses of juan cloth, and four million stones of rice grain. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mao Wei's move is a rare opportunity to give me a respite, and now it is humiliating! But it has preserved the fire of my Ming clan, so that we can taste the courage of our salary! Waiting for Mao's perverse actions and the resentment of the people in Jiangbei to rise everywhere, it is not impossible to strike a blow against the enemy, carry out the great cause of Taizu, march north, and recover the rivers and mountains! Ladies and gentlemen, I, Shi Kefa, beg you to think twice, don't take the old road of killing the Mongolian envoys in the Southern Song Dynasty and finally destroying the country! ”
Shi Kefa's words were really heart-wrenching, and for a while, the ministers in the court were dumbfounded, thoughtful, and silent for a few minutes, and a light cough suddenly sounded, and in the stunned look of the ministers in the hall, one of Shi Kefa's political enemies, Ma Shiying, a scholar of Shoufu University, stood up.
"Master Shi's statement, Ma agrees!"
"Just save my Daming! There is a chance, even if as Lord Wang Qia said, the regent Wang Xing's plan to secretly Chen Cang, during this time, we can also mobilize troops to defend the left and near of Hangzhou, no matter how bad it is, the situation will not be bad there, right? ”
To say that this Donglin Party is hypocritical, it is really hypocritical! At this juncture, what he is worried about is his reputation, and Gao Hongtu deliberately flicked his sleeves.
"Today's discussion, the old man is opposed, this Mao is clearly a plan to secretly Chen Cang, he cuts the land every day, and he still does not protect my Ming Dynasty, not our civil servants do not fight! Gai Fuchen has no intention of fighting! ”
The implication is that the land is cut, but the old decay is nominally opposed, and the green history will be filthy in the future, and it has nothing to do with the old decay!
In turn, a large group of Donglin Shichen also kowtowed weakly with that lightly.
"The minister is against!"
Ma Shiyingcai is not the face of the times, but he wins in a decisive decision, Shi Kefa is still hesitating there to support Lu and support Fu, he is already in contact with the mighty sword pointing at Nanjing, listening to those Donglin whitewash themselves, he is even more unimpressed, and he doesn't care about the refreshing fist.
"Right and wrong, Ma is a certain person!"
After speaking, he knelt down to Emperor Hongguang, kowtowed and asked: "Your Majesty, the ministers want to accept the peace agreement of the regent, and the ministers implore Your Majesty for permission!" ”
didn't want to fight at all, Zhu Yousong's fat head was like a dustpan immediately, and he hurriedly agreed.
"Exactly! Permit! ”
........
This noisy battle to the south ended temporarily with such a result! Originally, Gao Hongtu, Wang Qia and others still wanted to be reserved and bargain, but Zhu Yousong was really scared, and it was not easy to persuade anyone, so the envoy crossed the river overnight and expressed his peace to Mao Jue.
But the next day, it was not the ten Dongjiang battleships that came, the entire river was filled with the sea of warships, the main force of the Dongjiang fleet went upstream, and the main force of the Dongjiang fleet was at the forefront, the main force of the Dongjiang main force, nine first-class battleships of more than seventy meters and almost eighty meters, more than 300 second-class battleships of forty or fifty meters, and all the third-class battleships did not come, but there were hundreds, and the sea power of the Dongjiang River at this time was comparable to the coachman Netherlands in its heyday, and it was inferior to Britain of the empire on which the sun never set. This huge sea power simply scared the ministers of Nanming in Yingtian stupid.
Even Shi Kefa, the first time he saw so many warships, he was full of incredulity, muttering in horror.
"You won't regret it, will you?"
What especially frightened the ministers on the shore was that when the fleet was approaching the river bank, it was suddenly lined up again, and the fierce artillery fire was on the river bank, and it exploded with a bang, and under the fire and deafening cannon sound, a large group of Nanming ministers were so frightened that they sat on the ground with weak legs, and there were a lot of urine, and there was even an old man's heart tightened, and he pulled it over with a bang.
A large group of people ran back dozens of paces before they were ordered to stop, and it turned out to be just a dismount and a salute.
After this turmoil, these warships did not really dock and anchored in the center of the river, and then more than a dozen third-class battleships of several sizes leaned towards Yingtian under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
But to be honest, the people sent by Mao Jue were really a little bit out of control, under the support of a group of one-meter-nine-two-meter northern men, Song Xiance, who was one-meter-four, wore his custom-made official robe and a huge black gauze hat, and walked off the boat with square steps like a child.
This contrast is a bit too great, so that the Lord and Shi Kefa Ma Shiying are a little stunned.
"This official is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites under the command of the enlightened emperor, and Song Xiance is also! Coming with the regent's will, where are you and the puppet emperor? Why don't you come and greet you? ”
Listening to his shout, a group of Nanming officials came to their senses, and Shi Kefa hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed: "My Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace, and I also invite your envoy to move to the palace!" ”
"No! I, the northern Shilin, am not as greedy and hedonistic as you southern rotten people, and people are superficial! Besides, the regent is waiting in the fleet, and this official can't afford to delay! You have also seen the conditions brought back by Lord Regent Toshi, whether it will work or not, whether it is war or peace, and you will settle down in this place on the bank of the river! ”
Mao Jue was actually in the center of the river, and when he heard this, the ministers of the Hongguang Dynasty couldn't help but feel trembling, and even those with ulterior motives, their eyes were still slightly hot, but they could look at the fleet looking around, and it was like a basin of cold water poured down, even if Mao Jue was in front of him, who could break through the layers of the fleet and kill him in front of him.
This makes the short is short, but it is really called vigorous and resolute, a group of ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty are worried, Song Xiance has ordered the table to be moved, and a long brocade silk book is opened.
It's just that when he saw the letter of the country, Shi Kefa's old face became bitter again, and he hugged his fists heavily at Song Xiance: "Your Excellency, for the regent's peace, my monarch and ministers are very happy, after all, the two countries have exchanged troops, the people have been displaced, and the soldiers of your country have also suffered great losses, Your Majesty can't bear it, but the silver taels demanded by your country are too huge, and our dynasty can't raise them at all, and I also ask your envoy to tell the regent that you will be given a grace of one or two!" ”
"You don't have to tell the regent, when the official came, the regent had already granted the official full powers! Master Shi said that he couldn't take out this 10 million taels, so how much could he take out? ”
"One million taels!"
Hearing this, Kong Youde, the military attache who was subordinate behind Song Xiance, almost didn't squirt out: "One million taels, what about the one who asks for food?" ”
He was about to roar in anger, but Song Xiance gestured the luxurious wat board to him, making him choke his words back.
"A million taels is fine!"
"Is that true?"
But before Shi Kefa finished his rejoicing, Song Xiance's next words were like a big stone smashing his eyes: "But when I came, the regent also explained, the crown prince's accession to the throne is orthodox, there are no two days, and there are no two kings in the country!" King Fu is not in harmony with the law, and he should abdicate immediately! Tell the world! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy back then, building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king! Just a name can be exchanged for nine million taels, which is simply too cost-effective, but on the contrary, in front of these prepaid scholars, Gao Hongtu is the first to pop out with a red face.
"Never!"
"My majesty is the queen of the Wanli Emperor, the bloodline is pure, supported by the six departments of Nanjing, it is in line with heavenly principles, how can I bow to the wild boy who doesn't know where to come from in Beijing!"
"Tall man! Be careful! Be careful! ”
He was so familiar, but he scared the ministers behind him, and hurriedly pulled him on the side, even if he understood something, Qian Qianyi was helpless to clench his fists on the side.
"Your Majesty, after all, His Majesty has ascended the throne, and this abdication is really difficult for some strong people!"
Song Xiance was not angry, did not distinguish, and asked slowly: "Everyone, this compensation is 10 million taels of silver?" ”
Shi Kefa still wanted to bargain, there were many terrible nights and dreams, and if Mao Jue under the cannon really insisted on Hongguang's abdication, these powerless civil officials really had nothing to do, and Cai Yichen, a scholar, nodded in a hurry.
"10 million taels of silver, sent to Jiangbei at the end of the month!"
"Good!"
took out the official seal of the household department seized by the Zhijing Division, Song Xiance stepped on the stool and covered it, and he was full of helplessness, and Shi Kefa also stamped the official seal of the household department in Nanjing.
"What do you think of these four million taels of coins, one million silk, and two million grains every year?"
While speaking, Song Xiance's eyes were still looking at the city with deep meaning, to be honest, this number can catch up with the total annual tax revenue of the Hongguang Dynasty, and now it has lost 30 million people in the Lianghuai area, this number is still declining, but the force can't beat people, and the conditions are still stuck in the killer weapon of abdication, Ma Shiying can only grit his teeth heavily.
"I promise!"
Click, two more big seals have been stamped!
"This cuts Shanghai County, Hangzhou City and other places?"
"I promise!"
Click~
"My dynasty is exempt from taxation for trade, and your dynasty pays 30% of the tax?"
"I promise!"
Click~
The next few items, as well as the garrison, justice and other related details, basically Song Xiance said, that Ma Shiying was sealed, densely packed on a piece of paper, the size of the conditions listed more than 30 successively, but except for the one that cut the land is a little difficult, the rest are economic, for the Donglin Zhugong who only hears the words of the sage and does not enter the copper smell in both ears, it is simply not a matter, the last discussion is finished, looking at the seals of the two countries, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and others are actually flushed, as if they fought a big victory.
Once again declined the invitation of the ministers of Nanming to the palace to go to the banquet, Song Xiance was happy to turn around with the contract, Mao Jue also really spoke, in the panic of the ministers of Nanming, the terrifying huge fleet turned away in a chic manner, everyone was sincerely relieved at the same time, but no one noticed Mao Jue standing at the stern of the ship, the same relaxed and comfortable smile on his face.
"Idiots, see you in a few years!"
