Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 438 The two countries compete for supremacy (Part )
Sultan was extremely disappointed! The chess game between him and Dorgon for the world has entered a critical stage. He originally wanted to use Nanming as his ultimate move to encourage the Nanming army to attack the Qing Dynasty, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not rest, and the Wei Kingdom hid aside to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the emperor and ministers of Nanming were so useless that they had the courage to come to Lhasa to take over their duties, but they did not have the courage to go to war with the Manchus. It's really ridiculous and irritating
"Haha," he explained with a smile, "You guys have misunderstood. You all said that King Yanchang proclaimed himself king. Since he did it privately, what does it have to do with me?"

"Why do you deny it, Your Highness? It has been spread everywhere. After the Wei army invaded Shaanxi, you issued an order to confer Zhu Shizhong as King of the Ming Dynasty. Without your help, how could there be King Zhangwu today?" Wu Zhenyu pressed hard. Abandon. This scholar was extremely loyal to Emperor Yongli. In another time and space, after he was forced to commit suicide by Sun Kewang, Emperor Yongli posthumously awarded him the titles of Young Master, Crown Prince and Grand Master, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Grand Scholar of Zhongji Hall. He was given the posthumous title of Wenzhong and Jian. The temple is located in the racecourse, and a monument is erected in front of the temple with the inscription "Mr. 18 became a benevolent place".

"What? I decreed a canonization? There is no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing." Suletan acted like a rogue and insisted that he had not issued the decree. He continued to say with a smile: "When King Yanchang revolted in Shaanxi, the people of Shaanxi Rejoicing. They had been waiting for the Northern Expedition of Emperor Yongli for a long time but could not get it. Finally, the Ming Dynasty vassal king rose up in the north. Naturally, they wanted to support him as emperor and cheer up the people in the north. King Yanchang agreed. He was afraid of violating the ancestral system and would not agree. Well, I was afraid of losing the support of the people. I had no choice but to proclaim myself the king of the Ming Kingdom. The reason why I called myself the king instead of the emperor was out of respect for the Yongli Emperor. In short, all the vassal kings of the Erming Kingdom, whether they called themselves the emperor or the king, This is an internal matter of the Erming Kingdom and has nothing to do with me."

"Since this matter has nothing to do with His Highness, can Your Highness persuade King Yan Yan to give up the title of 'King of the Ming Kingdom' and respect Emperor Yongli as emperor? In return, Emperor Yongli can make him King Su." Seeing that he refused to admit it, he bit him to death. Wu Zhenyu smiled slightly and stated her conditions.

"That's it~" Sultan's eyes rolled around, thinking about the pros and cons. Although Zhu Shizhong has been a little disobedient recently, after all, he is a flag that he personally built. If he cancels the title of king, it will inevitably affect his prestige and chill the people in the north who support the Zhangwu Dynasty; but if he does not agree, , will inevitably affect the relationship with the Yongli Dynasty, and is not conducive to his own national policy of uniting the Ming Dynasty and controlling the Qing Dynasty.

"This matter is not difficult. I immediately revised the book and sent it to King Zhangwu, persuading him to give up the title of 'King of the Ming Kingdom' and respect Emperor Yongli as the emperor." Suletan chuckled and thought to himself: I only said to revise the book, but people will not listen. I can't control that much.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wu Zhenyu was overjoyed. She didn't expect that the purpose of this trip could be accomplished so easily, and she thanked him repeatedly.

"Mr. Wu, please don't thank me first. I have one more thing to ask Gu Langzhong for help." Sultan smiled like a flower.

"I wonder if there is anything your Highness needs your service to do?" The doctor, Gu Qipin, asked respectfully. He secretly thought about his low official position, how could Chief Hu ask him to help him if he had something to do.

"I have heard for a long time that the ancient doctor is a master of alchemy, and the characters in the paintings are all lifelike. I would like to ask you to draw a portrait for me, the kind that wears armor and fights in all directions."

In the post house in Lhasa, where the Qing Dynasty's envoy collapsed, the Duke of Zhenguo, Dorobele Aixinjueluo Baiyintu, was discussing with Qi Chongge, a scholar, about meeting Emperor Qianyuan tomorrow. One of them is Dorgon's elder brother and a member of the Manchu clan, and the other is a bachelor of the current dynasty. They are both close confidants of the emperor's father and the regent. Originally, the emperor's father and regent only sent Qi Chongge, but later he was worried about the situation in Lhasa and sent Baiyintu again.

Sultan tried to use Nanming to attack Dorgonbu but failed, so he could only wait for the opponent to make a move. This mission was a move made by Dorgon. He sent out two important ministers of the country, which showed the importance he attached to it. It had two purposes: one was to spy on the military, political, and economic intelligence of Weiguo, and to get a feel for Weiguo's background; Efforts were made to promote reconciliation between the Qing Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty, and to give the Qing Dynasty some time to recuperate.

Dorgon really wanted to reach a peace agreement. After entering the customs, he underestimated the bloody nature of the Nikan (Han people) and rushed to issue the order of shaving off hair and changing clothes, which led to wars all over the world. After finally quelling the rebellions of Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng and Jiang Yu, the vitality of the country was seriously damaged and the treasury was empty. , the Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties, and the foundation of their rule was shaken. Without a rest for a year or two, they were really unable to fight a big war. As a master of politics, he knew that if he wanted to succeed in negotiations, he could not show weakness and had to use the power of the Qing Dynasty's successful counterinsurgency to scare the other party. Therefore, he ordered Monan Mongolia, a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, to cross the Heli Mountains and go south to harass Gansu. He also appointed Zhang Wenheng as the governor of Gansu and Liu Liangchen as the commander-in-chief of Gansu, showing his intention to attack Gansu controlled by the Wei Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the military intimidation had little effect. There was no Qing army, and the various tribes in Monan Mongolia were not very enthusiastic about sending troops. Except for a few in-law tribes such as Horqin who sent more troops, most tribes only sent out a few troops. Moreover, the Wei Kingdom had already taken precautions and moved the remnants of Chahar to the southern foot of Heli Mountain. Abu Naihutaiji was the biological son of Lin Dan Khan. Without his obstruction, it would be difficult for the tribes to pass through Heli Mountain and move southward. Tuoli, the governor of Gansu Province who defended the country, ordered Qianhu Aerqi, the capital of Qianhu, to lead 3,000 troops to guard Lanzhou and provide backup for Abu Nai. The allied forces from various tribes in Monan are still herding horses at the northern foot of Heli Mountain and cannot enter Gansu at all.

"Grand Bachelor, along the way, the defending soldiers are strong and strong, and it is difficult to deal with them!" Baiyintu said to Qi Chongge.

"Master Beile, I believe that Weiguo has become a powerful enemy of our Qing Dynasty, and we must concentrate our efforts to deal with Weiguo in the future. But now that the country has been fighting for years and people's livelihood is in decline, it is really not suitable to continue the war. We must make a decision early."

"What do you mean?" Baiyintu's eyes lit up.

"The lower official thought that as long as Weiguo agreed to give up its support for the puppet King Zhangwu, Lintao Mansion, Taozhou Guards, and Jinglu Guards could be given to Weiguo to herd horses, and they could only be regarded as the dowry of the eldest princess Gulun Wenzhuang." Qi Chong Ge said.

"To tell you the truth, when I came here, the emperor and the regent had the same intention." Baiyintu chuckled. "The emperor and the regent said that today I will give the guards a small piece of bone so that I can bite them to death in the future." .

"The imperial father and the regent Wang Shengming", Qi Chongge sincerely praised.

However, what they did not know was that Suletan did not want to fight a big war. The situation of both sides is actually similar. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have been fighting for years, and the Wei Kingdom has been fighting for years. The Manchu and Qing treasury is empty, and the Wei Kingdom's treasury is also empty.

Since both sides wanted to negotiate, after hearing that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties agreed to transfer Lintao Prefecture, Taozhou Guard, and Jinglu Guard to Wei State, Suletan immediately stated that he would no longer support the Ming Dynasty's Zhangwu regime. Recently, King Zhu Shizhong of Zhangwu was not very obedient, so he happened to use the hands of the Manchus to beat him. Whether to support the Zhangwu regime or not is entirely based on David's national interests. The peace treaty with the Qing court was nothing more than a piece of waste paper to Emperor Qianyuan, who was famous for his bad faith.
