I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Even so, he, Kundulun Khan, shouldn't have said the words to persuade him to stay.

Fan Wencheng saw the silence in the tent, and the quarrels and anger of the kings Baylor were gone. He naturally understood in his heart that it was time for him, a Hanchen, to show his role, so he stepped forward to persuade:

"Your envoy, stay here—!"

He rushed over, stopped Cui Chengxiu at the door of the big tent, and whispered:

"Cui Butang came here, presumably with holy intentions?"

Cui Chengxiu looked back at him, and sneered: "So what, these Jiannu don't know Daming's generosity, but they want to argue repeatedly."

"Simply go back to the business like this, and His Majesty will not blame me!"

Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, pulled him aside, and persuaded:

"If you go back like this, your emperor will not blame you. But think about it, negotiating peace is an act of peace to end the war. You will ruin such a good job that can win fame and fortune!"

Cui Chengxiu looked surprised, frowned and asked:

"how do I say this?"

Fan Wencheng pretended to be mysterious and said: "If I'm not mistaken, everyone in the court of the Ming Dynasty must be fighting for this job before I come here!"

Cui Chengxiu sneered in his heart, this self-proclaimed smart guy actually had the wrong idea.

Regarding the matter of peace negotiation, the entire imperial court, from the head of the cabinet to the small officials, everyone avoided it for fear of being caught in some muddy water.

Only I, Cui Chengxiu, have obtained His Majesty's secret decree to deal with you traitorous bastard!

As he thought about it, his expression didn't move, he just nodded.

Fan Wencheng thought he had a plan, and said with a smile:

"The Ming Dynasty negotiated peace with Dajin, but it is an act of peace that everyone is looking forward to. This time, the ministry only needs to take a small step back, and the reputation of the future is in sight!"

Cui Chengxiu sneered in his heart, but on his face he suddenly realized.

At this time, Fan Wencheng took a few steps back, pretending to be a big gift, and said loudly: "Please stay a while, Da Jin also has the sincerity to negotiate a peace!"

Along this slope, Cui Chengxiu also went back.

After all, what Emperor Tianqi revealed in the chess game was to ask him to facilitate the peace negotiation in private. No matter how disdainful he was, the emperor still had to listen to what he meant.

This time, he was not angry and almost ruined the emperor's great affairs. Fortunately, Fan Wencheng, a traitorous dog, finally settled the matter.

No matter what, let's make this negotiation happen first!

As for the conditions and so on, it's just a symbolic pull. Anyway, I am not an official peace negotiating envoy, so it doesn't count.

When Cui Chengxiu turned his head and went back, although his face was still indifferent, he made up his mind to fool these Jian slaves.

If they don't believe it, they will sacrifice their lives. If they believe it, they are as stupid as pigs, and it has nothing to do with them.

Nurhachi on the top kept his face dark all the time, seeing that Fan Wencheng persuaded the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty to come back, he was relieved and said with a smile:

"Many discords before are all past events. What Ben Khan and the noble envoy want to say today is that the two countries will stop fighting and make peace for the benefit of the people."

"This kind of thing, I think your Ming country should want to see it the most."

"Indeed, the hearts of the people in our Celestial Dynasty tend to be more harmonious. After several years of Liao affairs, we will benefit from peace, and we will lose from war. It is of no benefit to anyone. Let's talk about the specific regulations for peace negotiations!"

Cui Chengxiu didn't want to make too much fuss with this slave chief, he was afraid that he would scold again if he couldn't help it, so he kept talking patiently.

Huang Taiji had great eyesight, and as soon as Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, he said loudly: "My big gold has already been drawn up, please have a look at it!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Fan Wencheng a wink.

Right now, for their Houjin army, negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty and going back to deal with their own affairs is the best result. It takes half a year to fight, and they are attacked on three sides. They are indeed a little exhausted.

Fan Wencheng took a seal and handed it to Cui Chengxiu respectfully, and said with a smile:

"Your envoy, please take a look, can I be honest with Dajin?"

Cui Chengxiu picked up the tea on Aha's table, and was about to drink it, but after thinking about it, she put it down calmly.

Then he opened the watch, his hands and feet trembled, and he almost spilled all over his body.

"what is this?"

Cui Chengxiu took a look, stood up subconsciously and said: "This is the sincerity of negotiating peace? You really want to continue fighting!"

In this peace agreement, Nurhachi mainly has three meanings.

First, the Ming Dynasty was responsible for the war between Ming and Jin in the past 20 years, and the reason why Nurhachi rebelled was actually the result of the Ming Dynasty's "bullying" of Jianzhou.

That is to say, in order to negotiate a peace, Daming must admit that he bullied Jianzhou first, and Nurhachi couldn't bear the bullying, so he raised troops to resist.

It also mentioned the so-called seven high-sounding hatreds when Nurhachi rebelled at that time, and used the words "the bullying is too much, and it is used to promote the teacher" to show that the later gold sent troops to occupy the moral high ground.

This alone has made Cui Chengxiu unbearable.

Because this is simply distorting the facts and fabricating excuses.

The cause of the Ming-Jin war was that Zuo Weishi of Jianzhou was favored by the Ming emperor, but he was not satisfied.

The so-called Seven Great Hatreds are simply that Jianzhou was disloyal first, which is completely untenable.

To negotiate a peace, at least one must distinguish between the right and wrong of the war between the two sides. If Jiannu is so deceitful and insists on saying that he is the party of justice, won't his face blush?

Cui Chengxiu sneered, thinking that fortunately the result of this court meeting was to refuse the peace negotiation, otherwise if such a peace negotiation was made, not to mention the Liao people and the Liao scholars, the people all over the country would not accept it.

The second meaning of Nurhachi, regardless of the size of the country, is to stop arguing about right and wrong. Simply put, it is that the Ming Dynasty must recognize the equal status of Hou Jin and it.

What is equal status?

After the peace talks, Hou Jin officially stood on the same level as Ming Dynasty, both were empires, and the two sides would attack in the future, so the saying that Jianzhou was once a minister of the Ming Dynasty would disappear.

The slave chiefs want to fight for the "state status" of Houjin, and also demand to be equal to Ming Dynasty. This is a dream, let alone impossible.

There is a third meaning, which is simply stealing money.

Nurhachi said that if the Ming Dynasty agrees to negotiate a peace, it must first show its sincerity. After all, Dajin proposed a peace negotiation and has already made a lot of concessions.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to hand over 10 taels of gold, 300 million taels of silver, and [-] bolts of high-quality satin and wool green cloth at one time, as a gift of reconciliation and a sign of sincerity.

Here comes the key, here Nurhachi made a concession that was equivalent to nothing.

The watch states that after the reconciliation between the two sides, although the Jin Fang has already stood on the same position as the Ming Dynasty, but out of the heart of a great power, it still voluntarily pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty with ten pearls, a thousand pieces of mink fur, and a thousand catties of ginseng every year. , fifty good horses.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, 1 taels of gold, 10 taels of silver, and [-] pieces of high-quality satin and wool green cloth were used as reciprocal gifts each year.

Cui Chengxiu jumped up immediately after reading it.

Is this a negotiation?

This is a unilateral money grab!

Or the kind where righteousness is all yours and money belongs to you!

Chapter 378

Nurhachi was not surprised by Cui Chengxiu's behavior at all, he sat on it and watched indifferently.

He also knew that if the Ming Dynasty did not directly agree to this regulation, it would either be the head of the crowd, or there would be a conspiracy.

Why did the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty come here to discuss peace?

Negotiating, negotiating, not negotiating, negotiating a result that both parties are satisfied with, how can it be reconciled?Nurhachi didn't expect to get the Ming Dynasty to agree to this regulation.

The main thing is to make peace. It is best to knock out some gold and silver and roll it back to expand the military equipment. If it is not possible to directly negotiate a peace.

Don't look at the lion's big mouth written in the Nurhachi regulations. In fact, this is for the convenience of the Ming Dynasty to bargain. His bottom line is very simple, as long as he can withdraw his troops.

Xiong Tingbi didn't give him a chance, and Zhu Xieyuan's army also arrived. If the reconciliation failed, he would be in danger of being surrounded, and it was meaningless to spend it here.

The Ming Dynasty came out this time, spending millions of taels of military expenditure, and the reinforcements also "requisitioned all the soldiers in Qibian Town". It would take thousands of miles to come out again, and the military cost millions. Is it so easy?

The territory of Houjin is small, and the requisition is simple. Wherever you go, you don’t even have to pay for military expenses, and it’s easier to go back.

Nurhachi was not afraid of fighting again at all. What he was afraid of was that if he continued to fight for years, he would not be able to exhaust Zhu Youxiao.

As long as the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty were withdrawn and everyone returned to their respective places, it would be up to Houjin to decide when to tear up the agreement and start working.

Unless the Ming Dynasty requisitioned a large army to leave the customs, the Liaoshen frontier army would still be unable to resist.

It was easy for the Ming Dynasty to enlist large troops, just withdraw troops and negotiate a peace. Would you dare to directly attack Hetuala and Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty?

In the current situation, Nurhachi may have to try his best to go out to fight with Ming's reinforcements, but he is not sure that he will win.

But if it is said that Jin will fight again after pulling back, he is 100% confident that he will play Salhu again.

The Ming army rushed thousands of miles to attack Hetuala, and Yang Gao still had a chance that time. Now, no one can come here. Time has passed, and the strength of both sides and the surrounding situation have changed.

The reasoning here is that Nurhachi went back and forth several times, and the Ming army withdrew when they left the pass, and continued to plunder in Liaodong and attack Liaoshen after they left the pass.

In his opinion, this style of play can easily consume the vitality of the Ming army, so why go all out now.

What's more, this time Zhu Youxiao went directly to the final battle, which Nurhachi didn't expect. He didn't expect that the Emperor Tianqi, who had just succeeded to the throne for three years, could be so brave.

Nurhachi looked at the angry Cui Chengxiu, leaned forward slightly, and said slowly:

"Your envoy, don't be angry. This peace negotiation was originally a negotiation between Dajin and the Ming Dynasty. This regulation is only our Dajin's opinion. The final signing depends on what your envoy wants."

Cui Chengxiu was indignant for a moment, but he also used his tricks, sneering:

"Do you really think that I am defeated by Daming in the field battle against Jurchen?"

"The 20 elite troops from the nine sides led by the supervisor have reached fifty miles to the west of Liaoyang City. If you continue to fight, the soldiers will come sooner or later. I want to see how you, the defeated soldiers, will resist!"

Nurhachi was not angry, and said with a fake smile:

"Your emissary's words do have some truth in your opinion, but it's inconvenient to argue today, the two sides stopped fighting to make peace, and in the future Ben Khan will go to the capital in person to discuss it with Emperor Tianqi."

"how?"

Hearing Nurhachi's meaning, Fan Wencheng stopped pretending, snorted coldly to express his relief, then picked up his watch and slapped it on the table, saying:

"This regulation doesn't work, it needs to be fixed!"

Huang Taiji asked in a timely manner: "I don't know how your envoy will amend the regulations. I, the King of Dajin, Baylor, will listen carefully."

Cui Chengxiu paced back and forth in the tent, pondered for a moment, and said:

"This war has caused heavy casualties. Even if the troops are stopped to make peace, the people of your country will not be angry for a while. My Majesty and your King Khan must issue an imperial edict to ask for forgiveness."

"What does your envoy mean, both of us have made mistakes in this battle?" Huang Taiji repeated, and seeing Fan Wencheng nodding, he looked at Nurhachi with an uncertain expression.

Nurhachi did not expect that the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty thought so. He pretended to think, nodded slightly, and then asked:

"anything else?"

Cui Chengxiu saw that Nurhachi's face was calm, neither happy nor angry, and wondered if what he said was too much, which made the old slave feel dissatisfied.

If the peace talks fail this time, they will be entrusted with the emperor's orders when they go back.

He thought for a while, and said:

"Since you first proposed a peace negotiation, it can be regarded as a sincere negotiation. I agree to the second article, but the third article needs to be slightly revised."

"The gift of the peace negotiation should be changed to 5 taels of gold, 100 million taels of silver, and [-] bolts of high-quality satin and wool green cloth. That's all I can pay!"

"As for your tribute, it must be doubled!"

Nurhachi was overjoyed and quite surprised.

Cui Chengxiu was very dissatisfied with the first article, but the result of the gifts from both parties was only halved. Even if the tribute was doubled, it was nothing to Nurhachi.

Compared with the one-time gift money of the Ming Dynasty, that little thing is not worth mentioning at all.

Even with 5 taels of gold, I don't know how much Nurhachi can expand his armaments, and how many real girls will be recruited to join the Eight Banners Army.

This gift money may not be a big deal to the Ming Dynasty, but to Nurhachi, it can not only relieve the urgent need, but also make Dajin more powerful!

Nurhachi suddenly stood up, pointed out the tent with his hand, and shouted:

"Since the peace negotiation has been decided, I will pass on the order of Ben Khan to release all the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty. When Ben Khan withdraws his troops, he will also release some Liao people as a gesture of sincerity."

Cui Chengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, she finally made this peace negotiation possible, and said with a slight smile:

"So, when I report back to the Holy Majesty tomorrow, if the Holy Majesty agrees, the peace treaty can be signed."

Nurhachi nodded, waved and said:

"Come on, take your noble envoys down to rest, and write a memorial to report to their emperor. Remember, Cui Shangshu is Ben Khan's distinguished guest!"

Seeing that Dajin had taken advantage of it, the kings, Baylor, scolded him again. They all bowed slightly and said in unison: "I respect the order of Kundulun Khan!"
