Chapter 788: Mongolia Knocks
Wu Sangui's envoy had no choice but to ask Wu Sangui, they came this time to get Wu Sangui's bottom line, but they didn't say anything about selling land, and besides, this is not one or two acres of land, they don't dare to call the shots.
After these envoys left, Cheng Xiaolian looked at Jia Xu and Chen Chengan and smiled: "You two sang and harmonized, and everyone was blinded, I think this kind of cheating and abduction will make the two of you go out in the future." ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong, this is not a cheating, the exchanges between the two countries should be mutually beneficial, otherwise why do we have to cooperate with Wu Sangui?"
"Chen Chengan, don't be too complacent, I heard that Taiwan has replied, and your future old father-in-law will come from the East to meet you, and I will see how you will deal with it then."
In the end, under the instructions of Wu Sangui, the transaction between Da Ming and Da Zhou went smoothly, Wu Sangui ceded a piece of land, and Da Ming sent 1.2 million taels of silver.
Hu Guozhu was very angry when he heard the news: "Father, why do we have to cede the land to the Ming Dynasty, if they don't give the silver, we will just pick the son and stop doing it, these elites of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will have to beat them to the bone when they arrive in Henan." ”
Wu Sangui shook his head: "Jin Liang, you have to do things more than your brains, you said that if you give the Manchu Qing a chance, will he fight with us, or will he fight with Daming?" We occupy the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the world, not to mention that the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty hates me to the bone, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely cut me with a thousand knives. I have also seen the places that the Ming wanted, and I gave them to them, all they want is peace of mind, let's let them rest assured, they will be able to better fight the Manchus, and it is best to lead all the main forces of the Manchus over. ”
Cheng Xiaolian disappointed Wu Sangui, he began to resume production with peace of mind, with the help of this grain harvest in Henan, redistributed the ownerless fields, and the training of recruits in Sichuan and Shu also completed a stage, these recruits were sent to central Hubei, after all, no matter what, the heart of defense is indispensable, if Wu Sangui really fights the Ming Dynasty, he can't be caught off guard.
Three months later, the weather has entered winter, generally at this time if there is no special emergency, basically will not start a war, this time is very troublesome to fight, not only to eat but also to keep warm, it is estimated that in a few days, the hand touches the blade will have to freeze sticky, Cheng Xiaolian is not in a hurry, the Manchu Qing is recovering its vitality, Daming is not idle, plus there is a Wu Sangui on the side, the Manchu may not be able to please go.
Speaking of the Manchu court, it was angry, originally thought that if it gave the Ming silver, it would be able to concentrate on dealing with Wu Sangui, who knew that the troops were just going to be transferred there, and the Ming army began to assemble, and the envoy went to question, and people said that it was just training.
In this way, Henan's troops will not dare to act rashly, if Henan's troops are empty, they will really tear up the treaty and occupy Henan, and they are afraid that they will not get back a piece of territory with this document.
The envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty expressed great indignation at this: "Since our dynasty has paid five million taels of silver, your dynasty should keep its word, if it is not trustworthy, I am afraid that it will distrust the people of the world." "This silver was given out in their hands, and Kangxi naturally looked for them if he wanted to find trouble.
"I have never meant to tear up the covenant, it's just a training exercise, besides, if you send troops to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this Henan Mansion is empty, in case something goes wrong, do you say I will help you quell the rebellion, or will I not help you?"
The news came back to Beijing, Kangxi was furious, and immediately decided to drive Henan, of course, the courtiers did not want the emperor to go to the risk of risk, Kangxi was also justified: "The Qing Dynasty used the bow horse to level the world, and now the puppet emperors of the former Ming Dynasty are in Henan, how can I go, and this time I will not fight, I will stand at the head of Luoyang to see if the former Ming dare to speak out and have no faith." ”
Since the Tuhai incident, the court's civil and military restrictions on Kangxi have greatly declined, and now they are silent when they hear this, but many people are thinking about retreat in their hearts.
It's just that at this time, something happened that made Kangxi have to stay in Beijing honestly, and the Mongols came to fight the grass valley, which is traditional, but whenever the imperial court in the Central Plains is not strong enough, the Mongolian side is easy to come and plunder, and this stage is the Xiaoice River period.
According to the research of the meteorologist Zhu Kezhen of later generations, the period from the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty to the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi was the coldest time in China.
As soon as the weather is cold, there is no food in the grassland, if the Qing Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, they naturally dare not have the idea of fighting the grass valley, but now in this situation it is the best opportunity, and soon the front line of Xuanfu will begin to be anxious.
However, the Mongolians also have their own plans to play grass valley, rarely go to Ningxia or even the Western Regions, these places play grass valley is too cost-effective, in the words of later generations of taxi drivers, I can't earn back the fuel money for a trip, so unless there is no other way, they are not willing to go to poor Ningxia, but choose Xuanfu, Datong.
Datong is okay to say that if the Xuanfu breaks through, it will be close to the Beijing Division, and at this time, it is impossible for anyone to let their emperor run to Henan.
Kangxi could only sigh after hearing the news: "I heard that the overlord of Chu was under siege and embattled, and my current situation is not too much." ”
Mingzhu, who was kneeling in front of him, knew that his majesty must not lose confidence at this time, and coughed: "The minions are incompetent, so the master is bothered, but the minions think that the so-called Mongolia is just a disease of scabies, and General Tuhai led a group of minions to defeat them, and now what is there to fear, the minions think that the most important thing at present is to stabilize Wu Sangui, and then draw out their forces to break Mongolia in one fell swoop!" ”
"It's almost winter, Wu Sangui, a traitor, and Qianming don't have the heart to fight anymore, they have been fighting for a year, and the soldiers below are estimated to be resting, and the Beijing division immediately raised soldiers and horses, so that these Mongolian cavalry can taste our strength, and let them know how many eyes the prince has in Ma."
Cheng Xiaolian heard the news of the Mongolian knock and sighed a little, now that Mongolia has no food in winter, it is natural to come here to rob it, if it is a peaceful day, the imperial court will naturally allocate some food to them, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has insufficient food, coupled with the conscription several times in vain, naturally will not allocate food to Mongolia, since it is not given, the Mongolians do not want to starve to death so they can only come and rob it.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yang Youcai in front of him: "Is Ningxia okay?" ”
"It's very safe, don't say that they didn't come, even if they came, General Daniel Zhang may not let them curry favor, we have enough troops, and General Yuan Zonghao is sitting in Shaanxi, they are just sending them to death."
