On July 7, 276 of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty used to use the lunar calendar, and it was just two days after the beginning of autumn. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info have been a little cool for a long time in the Beijing Division, as if it means that a new era is at the beginning.

The seventh day of July is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the begging festival of the Beijing division to commemorate the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl does not have so much commercial taste. After the siege, the capital resumed internal and external transportation, materials were able to pour in, and the market calmed down a little, and it was full of vitality. The daughters' families got together privately and had a begging festival.

The lovely little girls show their skills and throw their embroidery into the water, the water film is raw, and the embroidery needle can float up when it is thrown down, and you can see the shadow of the needle under the water. There are clouds, flower-headed birds and beasts, shoes, scissors and eggplant shadows. If the shadow is as thick as a hammer, as small as silk, and as straight as shaft wax, it will be ugly.

There was more laughter and laughter in the Jingshi, and the joy of the daughter's family was infectious, and the desire of the people in the Jingshi to stay away from the war was also a little stronger. When many men laughed with women, they couldn't help but think about how the peace in the court was.

On the morning of July 7, there was silence in the State Council Hall of the Forbidden City.

When Wang Duo mentioned the word sincerity, Hong Chengchou knew that the Ming people officials really planned to accept it when they saw it.

Indeed, even if a normal person thinks about it, if a piece of paper can cost tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and millions of military spending, who doesn't want to negotiate peace but want to fight?

In this way, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, Wang Duo's expression suddenly became much more amiable. Da Ming, who is willing to negotiate peace, is like a cute panda. It's so cute.

Just when Hong Chengchou was immersed in such thoughts, another person suddenly said loudly.

"The state of benevolence and righteousness in the Ming Dynasty is true that it can't bear to kill." Gao Mingheng said loudly: "But the barbarians in Jianzhou killed my soldiers, plundered my home, destroyed farmland and houses, and robbed gold, silver, pearls and jade. This account has to be calculated! Barbarians and beasts, who do not understand benevolence and righteousness, do not know loyalty and filial piety, like rich wolves and beasts, want to negotiate peace, first calculate this account clearly! ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he was shocked in his heart, looked over, and stared carefully at this military department book. This is Zhu Cihong's person, that is, the descendant of the new emperor after he came to power.

Gao Mingheng's toughness was unexpected, Hong Chengchou slowed down and looked at Gao Mingheng: "The meaning of Lord Gao is really incomprehensible. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since peace is negotiated, we should be based on the present, look to the future, rather than entangled in the past bits and pieces. The return of Shanhaiguan to your country is already a great sincerity for me. After all, Shanhaiguan is not in the hands of Daming at the moment. ”

With Shanhaiguan, Gyeonggi's defense could be maintained. None of the people present who are not familiar with military affairs understand that the re-entry of the Qing army into the Kou is the result of the loss of Shanhaiguan.

"No! Shanhaiguan was originally the land of my Ming Dynasty, and the entire Liao Land was all owned by my Ming Dynasty. Can a mere Shanhaiguan allow me to expose the millions of people who were killed and wounded at the border and forget the millions of soldiers who fought on the border? In the past 20 years, tens of millions of gold and silver have been spent, and they have been discarded in vain? Gao Mingheng is not a descendant like Ren Zhirong, he attacked Hong Chengchou out of thin air, and as soon as he said it, the situation in the house was slightly reversed.

There's a word for it, sunk costs.

In order to deal with the disaster of Liaodong's slavery, the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly raised troops since Wanli, accumulating millions of troops and tens of millions of silver, and countless investments are made to recover Liaodong. Negotiation at the moment means that all these investments have to be discarded, how can this make people willing?

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "That's not what I said. Once the Son of Heaven and the country strategized, there is no point in turning over old accounts in the past. People cannot be resurrected after death, and it makes more sense to seize the present. ”

"So, this Ningyuan City, we also have to come back. I think this meaning is more important, at least for the souls of the first battle of Matsuyama. Wang Duo smiled.

Hong Chengchou understood that these two people were basically singing red and white.

But this strategy is extremely effective.

Kumen, who had not spoken all the time, was annoyed when he heard this: "It is already a great deal of patience for Shanhaiguan, do you still want Ningyuan City?" Absurd! ”

"What is this......" Hong Chengchou did not hurry to object.

For a while, everyone in the house looked at the library door one after another.

This time is different from the past, and there are no tens of thousands of Qing troops behind Kumen, looking at so many eyes that are almost cannibalistic, Kumen retreats.

"If you retreat to Ningyuan City, then I ask to exchange markets with me in Liaodong, Zhangjiakou and other places." Hong Chengchou slowly opened his cavity.

Wang Duo smiled and pondered.

Gao Mingheng's eyes flashed, analyzing Hong Chengchou's bottom line. The so-called mutual market is an extremely important requirement for foreign races outside the border. In later generations, some people always felt that the Ming and Qing dynasties closed off the country and cut off contact with the world, which was very undeserved. Regardless of its fault, for the Ming Dynasty, trading with barbarians in northern Xinjiang is actually a concession.

It is not that Daming will subsidize border trade, but that Daming is often unable to defeat and has no choice but to use the mutual market to appease each other. Therefore, the Mongols and Jurchens who participated in the mutual market were very fond of buying and selling, and they were unreasonable to carry out the mutual market. So every time the mutual market is mentioned, the court is big-faced.

Not only that, once the mutual market is opened, no matter how much money Daming makes, it will inevitably strengthen the barbarians on the grassland.

Sometimes, the security of a national strategy is difficult to measure with real money, and more often than not, it cannot be bought.

Therefore, the mutual market is a concession of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it is still within the scope of acceptance.

Wang Duo was quite satisfied, he looked at Gao Mingheng and nodded.

Gao Mingheng was eager to try, he looked directly at Hong Chengchou and said, "If you want to exchange markets, you can!" Even, even if it is ironwork, I can sell it! But Jinzhou must also be returned to us, and the place where the mutual market is on the site of the Daling River! At the same time, we must garrison more than three times the army in Jianzhou. This is my Ming's peace condition! ”

Wang Duo looked over in surprise, but he quickly relented.

All eyes fell on Hong Chengchou's face.

Kumen looked at Hong Chengchou even more coldly, this step was too big. It is equivalent to discarding all the achievements after the Songjin War in the Huangtaiji period!

Hong Chengchou listened to it in his ears and silently watched everything in front of him. Countless eyes swept in, hiding countless meanings. There are those who are angry and hostile, those who are uneasy and kind, those who look forward to it, and those who want to see what is going on.

But there is no doubt that the Ming court attached great importance to Duoduo's peace this time.

Even, with Hong Chengchou's acumen, he also found the screen erected in the corner. As for who is behind the screen, Hong Chengchou can't guess. But he can be sure that it must be the higher level of the coin king Duo and Gao Mingheng.

And who else could be taller than them in the Ming court? Either the newly built Privy Council of the Western Mansion, or the cabinet ministers under Zhu Cihong's new system, and they must be those who can be called prime ministers!

"Promise, you can negotiate peace?" Hong Chengchou asked softly.

There was some silence in the room.

All eyes fell on Wang Duo and Gao Mingheng again.

Wang Duo was quite surprised, he kept nodding his head, he understood that Hong Chengchou was moved.

Many of the civil and military officers who attended the meeting had smiles on their faces, and peace seemed to be coming. As long as they open their golden mouth, they will be able to give peace.

Gao Mingheng was also happy in his heart, and he said: "If Jianzhou accepts this condition, we will play the Holy Lord's meeting and negotiate peace!" ”

"Good! are all according to what the Ming Dynasty said. After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he got up, looked at Gao Mingheng and Wang Duo who followed and said, "I look forward to the eternal peace between your two countries." It's just that I hope to be able to go back and meet my Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty in person. Make sure this meeting goes smoothly! ”

"I don't think there's a problem, cherish it all the way!" Gao Mingheng smiled, unimpressed.

Hong Chengchou also smiled, he didn't care about the library door all the way with a cold face, and strode out of the conference hall.

Gao Mingheng, Wang Duo and the others also walked towards the conference hall, but they didn't take a few steps before they saw Lu Shuo, a scholar, standing in front of everyone.

The full name of the scholar is the Hanlin Academy, and his duty is to teach the history of the scriptures for the emperor and the crown prince, and prepare consultants to deal with it. and attendants, attendants, lectures, revisions, editing, reviewing, and shujishi, etc., collectively referred to as Hanlin. In other words, it is the senior secretary next to Zhu Cihong.

Seeing Lu Shuo, Gao Mingheng nodded in greeting, and soon led everyone towards the inner room of the conference hall.

Along the way, everyone did not shy away from it, Zhu Cihong was open-minded and attached great importance to discussions, so everyone talked about it while walking along the way, in fact, there are too many things to say about this time.

"This time it's really exciting!" Wang Duo was the first to speak: "Look at the expression of the deputy envoy of the Tartar on the side, you can use it as a dye box." One moment it was green, one moment it was purple, and the next it was so angry that it was red. On the contrary, they all had to follow the meaning and didn't dare to interject. This time, Nador was really scared. ”

"Yes, this time I would like to thank Wang Shangshu for his cooperation. To be able to get Jinzhou back, the results of this peace negotiation are really good. You have done a great job in this discussion and peace, and when the matter is here, I will have a book on the book and ask for a reward. Gao Mingheng laughed.

"Subordinates, thank you, Shangguan ......" everyone smiled happily.

"What, you're still unhappy?" At this time, Wang Duo looked at Ren Zhirong, who was still drooping and sullen in the ranks of military advisors who accompanied the Privy Council this time.

Ren Zhirong refreshed himself and said, "It's not just unwilling to be proud of that traitor, but it's also ...... Some don't believe it. Alas, the Holy One will give us a clear way......"

Wang Duo nodded and didn't answer the words.

Soon, they followed Lu Shuo to see Zhu Cihong.

At this moment, Zhu Cihong wrote a handwritten order in an uproar: "Pass the order to Jinyiwei, and Hong Chengchou can be arrested." In this battle, there will be no peace! ”

Wang Duo and Gao Mingheng were stunned. They never expected that they would get back such a big victory, and even Jinzhou City would be able to get back the good conditions, but the result was......

The emperor did not negotiate peace!

"Holy ......" Wang Duo was stunned, and he couldn't help but admonish: "The result of this peace negotiation is very rare. It doesn't cost a single soldier, and it doesn't take the imperial court to raise tens of millions of taels of military spending again to raise tens of millions of military expenses to recover all the way to Jinzhou, which is really rare, too rare! ”

Gao Mingheng also followed: "Holy Lord, this condition is really rare in a hundred years!" ”

Zhu Cihong looked at that side and found that Ning Wei was also stunned for a moment when he heard this order.

As the commander of Zhu Cihong's pro-army guards, Ning Wei is not just a herald without brains.

But this time, even Ning Wei was stunned, a little incredulous.

Zhu Cihong had a bad temper this time: "What, my military orders don't work?" Three days later, show me what the first article of military discipline is a hundred times! ”

"All actions obey orders! Be! Ning Wei shuddered, his body shook, shouted loudly, and took the order.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong looked at the ministers who came back from the discussion, and said: "Let a traitor who surrendered come to negotiate peace with me, and let a Niu Lu Zhangjing see the minister of my ministry, then no one under Duoduo's tent can come to deceive me?" Whoever wants to taboo the rule that the two countries are at war without slashing each other, then I tell him that if the pseudo-Qing is destroyed, there will be no such doubts! I have made up my mind, and there is no need to talk about peace anymore! How's the Privy Council's sandbox preparations? ”

"Holy!" Ren Zhirong's expression shone: "The sand table of my Privy Council is updated at any time to update the military information of the first time!" ”

"Take me to see, also, how many soldiers and horses are there in Beijing? Let the Privy Council give me a reliable number in advance, so that I can go out of the city and fight! Zhu Cihong said that, strode away, leaving everyone with a back.

Wang Duo looked at Gao Mingheng helplessly.

Gao Mingheng looked at each other, shook his head and said, "This time, the turmoil will be big......

"It's really ...... that the saint insisted on not negotiating peace this time" Wang Duo suddenly wondered if Zhu Cihong was a little empty-eyed after he sat in his position.

You must know that the mainstream public opinion in Jingshi, whether it is official or non-governmental, has great expectations for this peace!

Privy Council, Sand Table Deduction Hall.

When Zhu Cihong entered the hall, he saw Xu Huanwu of the Privy Council saluting Zhu Cihong and said, "Holy Lord, it has been investigated and confirmed." The Qing army in front of the Datong Xuanfu did withdraw from the grassland, and no news was found after that, and the spies in the grassland did not see any trace. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, this is Zhu Cihong's caution, and the key news has been confirmed again and again.

At this moment, on the sand table deduction hall, the sand table in Gyeonggi clearly shows the dynamics of the armies of the enemy and us.

Among them, Zhu Cihong found that after the Qing army left the camp of Lugou River, they retreated all the way to the east, which had exceeded two hundred miles, to the north of Jizhen, and then towards Zunhua City.

Similarly, in order to keep an eye on the Qing army at all times and put enough pressure on the Qing army not to make the other party misbehave, the Ming army followed very closely.

The Ming army, composed of the first regiment, the flying bear regiment and the cavalry battalion directly under the legion, followed all the way, and there was only a gap of less than five miles!

"It's too close......" Zhu Cihong was a little worried.

……

In the South Smoke Workshop, Hong Chengchou anxiously walked towards the east gate.

On the way, a team of well-equipped Jinyi guards stopped in front of him, and Li Yongde, who was transferred to Beijing from 100 households in Texas, snorted coldly: "Hong Chengchou, you are planted, follow me to Jinyi Guard's edict prison!" ”
