Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 106 Peace talks break down

The autumn harvest brings joy, but bad news is also expected.

I don't know whether it was good or bad news. The peace negotiation delegation headed by Qian Qianyi and the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally announced that the peace talks had collapsed after the two sides dealt with each other without sincerity.

When cheap dad Chongzhen told Lu Mou the news, his facial expression was one of relief and quite joy.

Then he tried hard to conceal his state of mind and said to San'er: "Father, the emperor endured the humiliation and went against the ancestral precepts of not making peace with each other, not paying tribute, and not ceding land. He humbled himself. What kind of peace talks did he have to fight for you for more than half a year?" Time, Father, I did it. Now, it’s up to you.”

Lu Mou smiled calmly: "For more than half a year, we first violently collected debts, and Perfect got the first pot of gold. We faced Li Chuang several times, and we won and stabilized the situation. We fought fiercely in front of Zijin Pass, and Li Chuang was defeated. , we no longer have any worries; we have successfully implemented the New Deal, and now the New Deal has brought revenue to the national treasury to about 10,000,000."

Then, he straightened his chest: "Now, I have enough troops. I am waiting day and night for Dorgon to come. When he comes, I will beat him so hard that they will be afraid of stealing the Ming Dynasty even for another year. and hesitation, it is equivalent to solving the threat from the Manchu side. No more, just one more year, I will take over the northwest country, then, hehehe——"

"What are you hey?"

"What's interesting to me is that our father and son finally don't have to hang themselves."

When the subject of hanging was mentioned, Chongzhen couldn't help but tremble.

Hanging himself felt really uncomfortable, so he tried it quietly. Fortunately, there was no one to help him kick the stool.

Yes, if you don’t experience death once, how can you completely change?

Lu Mou faced Qian Qianyi with a proud look on his face: "Why do I think you are so old? You feel like you are proud of your defeat. You failed in the peace talks, but what are you proud of?"

Qian Qianyi said proudly: "The task that the prince gave to the old minister was to let the old minister's negotiation delegation hold Dorgon back for three months. The old minister fulfilled his mission and not only accomplished the task, but also delayed it for half a year. For this reason, doesn’t the prince give some rewards to his veterans and colleagues?”

"A loser still openly wants rewards. What age is this? Is this a lack of humanity or a loss of morality? I have to ask my teacher, that great thinker."

Second Assistant Liu Zongzhou smiled and said: "Why don't you ask me? In terms of ideological achievements, I am no worse than Mr. Huang."

"Okay then, you always said, how should we deal with this matter?"

"He should be rewarded because he exceeded the task in accordance with the prince's order."

"Okay, I listen to Mr. Ge. Anyway, in several wars, I have captured countless jewelry and antiques, but I can't cash them in, so I asked Mr. Qian to bring the envoy to my house to choose whoever I want."

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed——

"However, I can only get one piece per person. Although it is free, it makes me feel bad if there are more."

The whole room burst into laughter.

Chongzhen knocked on the table: "Let's get down to business, Lord Qian has been at Jiannu's place for so many days, and has he observed the situation of Jiannu and the Qing Dynasty?"

Qian Qianyi became serious: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is stronger than we imagined."

Chongzhen frowned: "Why is he strong?"

"Because of the traitor Hong Chengchou."

When he mentioned this matter, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Speaking of which, Hong Chengchou forced the Manchus to surrender to the Qing Dynasty on their own.

Back then, when I heard that Hong Chengchou had been captured in Songshan, I was worried about giving him a big funeral first. In fact, my purpose was to force him to die. Then I heard that he was not dead. At that time, I became angry and killed Hong Chengchou's entire family. The result was that although Hong Chengchou was not dead at the time, he did not surrender either. As a result, Hong Chengchou was full of resentment and surrendered directly to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to avenge his family.

Qian Qianyi continued: "Nurhachi originally implemented a policy of brutal killings against the Han people in Liaodong. Although Huang Taiji changed it to be gentle after he succeeded to the throne, no matter what he did, the Han people in Liaodong still did not return to the Manchus.

However, after Hong Chengchou surrendered, Huang Taiji obeyed his words. Hong Chengchou advised Huang Taiji that simply being gentle to the Han people was not enough. He should treat the Han people and the Manchus equally, shout out that the Manchus and Han people do not separate families, and treat the Han people as equals of the Qing Dynasty. civil.

In particular, he began to implement the imperial examination system in Liaodong. Although it was not a formally established system, the effect was obvious. Not only did he recruit talents for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but most importantly, Hong Chengchou's move completely won the hearts of the Liaodong scholars for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Scholars returned home, thus affecting the thinking of Han people in Liaodong. Now, the people are willing to pay taxes to the Manchus and do not resist corvee labor.

The most obvious manifestation is that the Eight Banners of Liaodong and Han Dynasties are very powerful in combat. They no longer regard the Ming Dynasty as their mother country, but are willing to fight for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. "

The Manchus were a bandit group. They had strong bodies but a backward civilization. No, that is not civilization, they are actually still in ignorance.

But psychologically, he was at an absolute disadvantage and inferiority complex towards Daming.

This point is vividly demonstrated in one incident involving Nurhaci.

At that time, Nurhaci already owned Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia, and established Liaoyang as the capital. He could be described as the founding hero of the country.

However, when the first traitor Li Yongfang made a mistake and Nurhachi was whipped as punishment, he whipped and cursed at the same time. While scolding and cursing, he cried bitterly and said: "I know that you are a slave in front of me. In fact, you Han people have never respected me at all and still despise me. In your hearts, you still regard me as a slave." Your slave, I am a slave, I am a slave—" He cried and was whipped. In the end, Li Yongfang was fine. Nurhachi himself actually cried and fainted.

However, a group of Han officials led by Hong Chengchou who surrendered brought the truly advanced Central Plains civilization to the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, the Manchu Qing Dynasty truly realized the truth once said by the great man: "Strengthen its body and make its mind great."

Therefore, to a certain extent, it is logical to replace the decaying Ming Dynasty and unify the Central Plains with the conditions of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

After hearing this news, Lu Mou stood up and saluted everyone: "While everyone is chatting, I have to go inspect the border wall."

Everyone stood up together to see each other off. Although Chongzhen did not stand up, his eyes were filled with earnest eyes and worries as a father.

Just when Lu Mou stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Chongzhen suddenly spoke and shouted emotionally: "San'er——"

Although this call was soft, the tone, the deep affection between father and son, the worry and reluctance, and the guilt were all clearly expressed.

Lu Mou's heartstrings trembled. Chongzhen's call awakened the deepest feelings in his heart.

He is a time traveler, so of course he just calls Chongzhen a cheap dad in his heart and treats him as a foster father. The estrangement in our hearts always lingers, and we can't get close.

But this sentence suddenly shattered the barrier that he tried so hard to maintain.

Slowly withdrawing the foot that had been stepped out, slowly turned around, and bowed deeply to his father.

When I got up again, I had tears in my eyes. He gritted his teeth, said nothing, and turned around firmly. At this time, Chongzhen was already crying. In this ceremony, he truly felt the affection for his son.

Who says there is no family ties in the Tian family?
