Chapter 701: A Delaying Tactic
After listening to Gao Hongzhong's report, Dolgon thought for a while before he said to him lightly: "It seems that this official of Huaxia is no different from the official of the Ming Kingdom!"
What Zhong Fulin said was still the same as the rhetoric of the civil officials in the Ming court when I was dealing with the Ming Kingdom in the past, which was just a clichΓ©.
This kind of thing is simply disgusting by the literati, in the past, when I Dajin and Mingguo negotiated peace with each other, they talked about it so many times to no avail, you only talked about a few words, what use can it be, it's not your sin.
It's just that this king is a little curious, that Chen Xin is just a slave of my Dajin, and he only knew that this person was brave before, and he had many fighters who rushed into battle and won the battle alone, but I didn't hear of him reading any books.
Looking at the series of processes in which he later started, he was completely a martial artist, could it be that he also paid attention to the Taoism of these civil officials of the Ming Kingdom? β
Gao Hongzhong heard that Dolgon did not punish him, although he had long known that this was the result, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, he had been a slave in Houjin for so many years, and he had been seen a lot by the angry Han people after he messed up.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said respectfully: "That Zhong Fulin sent by Chen Xin doesn't seem to really care about this thing, he just doesn't allow the slave to say Dajin's name in front of him."
Later, the slave changed his tune, saying that the prince had privately brought a message to the other party, and Zhong Fulin also stopped mentioning that stubble when he got off the donkey, and the slave saw the opportunity at that time and took the opportunity to put forward some conditions, which were the ones mentioned by the prince.
As for the matter of peace, Zhong Fulin's side neither refused nor explicitly agreed, and the other party only said that everything the slave said was just empty words.
If the other side asks us to retreat, we must retreat through Fuzhou, and the two sides will be bounded by a post station in the middle of the east and west, and no troops will be allowed to garrison within 20 miles in the north and south directions.
The other side even demanded that our army withdraw from the area around Phoenix Mountain and get out of the blockade of that area. β
When Dolgon heard these harsh conditions, he not only did not rise up, but laughed, because in his impression, this was like a condition proposed by someone like Chen Xin.
He casually asked Gao Hongzhong, "Then how did you reply to the other party at that time?" β
"The minion said that this matter is very important, and the minion cannot be the master, and he must consult with the prince before he can answer, then Zhong Fulin said the matter of Ningguta again.
He said that Huaxia now has a close relationship with the Jurchen tribe of Ningguta, and asked me not to send troops to coerce Ningguta in the direction of Dajin, but it is not forbidden to engage in commercial exchanges. β
Dolgon waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Gao Hongzhong's words, these terms proposed by Huaxia seem to have a lot of rules and regulations, but in fact, they are just a delaying tactic, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
What's more, this kind of private, even Chen Xin did not come forward to negotiate, and the contract that came out could be torn up at any time, and he said to Gao Hongzhong: "There is no need to mention these things that have become sesame seeds and rotten grains, now hurry up and talk about the most important things." β
Gao Hongzhong knew that he had finally reached the point, he took a deep breath, and then reported, "Zhong Fulin said that he wants a banner master of the Eight Banners, and once the flag master's head is in his hands, he promises that he will not chase and kill my Houjin army again."
Moreover, he also promised not to take the initiative to cross the boundary north of Fuzhou in the future. If Dajin wants to go out to fight Grass Valley in the future, then the Huaxia Army will go to Fuzhou to act, as long as the prince is willing to give 500 Jurchen heads every time, everything is easy to say. β
After listening to Gao Hongzhong's report, Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into thought. Gao Hongzhong didn't dare to make a sound, and waited for Dorgon's final reply in a daze.
At this time, the night attack launched by the Huaxia army outside tonight was in full swing, mixed with the sound of muskets, bows and arrows, grenades, etc., as well as the kind of sharp howling sound that Jin had only encountered before.
As this shrill whistle streaked across the night sky, a series of violent explosions followed, and panicked shouts and wails erupted again from inside the camp.
Listening to the sound, you can see that the explosion is still a long distance away from the Chinese army camp, and Dolgon sat on the chair in the tent, not moving, continuing to think about things, analyzing various pros and cons.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the commander of Goshha hurriedly walked in, came to Dolgon's side, and whispered, "Lord Wang, those Chinese barbarians are the kind of big iron rockets that came from the west of the Dragon River tonight.
Our men and horses to defend against night attacks were all deployed in the east bank area before, and we could not counter the Huaxia army on the other side of the river, and at present, our army has no way to stop them from firing rockets for the time being.
The minions didn't know how far the iron rocket could hit, and they could only guess that our army's camp was in danger, so the minions also asked the prince to hide for a while. β
Dolgon didn't know if he had listened or not, and he didn't respond, and after a few breaths, Dolgon shook his head slightly.
Then he stood up and walked back and forth in the tent.
After a while, he stopped and asked Sony, "How many days will it take for the king to arrange for the rear road army to be completed?" β
After thinking for a while, Commander Goshha said affirmatively: "The rear army is already stepping up the time, and it can probably be completed in two days." β
Dolgon silently calculated in his heart for a while, and then he turned his head and said to Gao Hongzhong: "Before dawn, I have to bother Mr. Gao to go to the camp of the Huaxia army again, and say that this king has agreed to all the conditions proposed by the other party. β
After Gao Hongzhong bowed and slowly retreated, the commander of Goshha whispered to Dolgon: "Lord Wang, judging from the context of Chen Xin's origin, I am afraid that none of what he said is credible.
Moreover, the conditions he put forward must be extremely unreasonable, and they must not be neglected if they are extremely close to insulting our army! β
"This king knows what kind of person Chen Xin is, and it was just a delaying tactic just now, and this king will never give it any benefit.
You know, Chen Xin's subordinates had won a small victory in Arthur City before, and now is the time when their morale is at its highest, so they will naturally act more arrogantly when they get carried away.
Let's stabilize him first, ease the situation through negotiations, even if it makes him proud for a few days, it doesn't matter, as long as we pass the Nanshan Pass and reach the plains, this king wants to see, just the little cavalry under his hand, how to chase and kill my 100,000 iron cavalry. β
"It turns out that the master has already made up his mind, and the slave is really worried."
