Ming politicians

Sony came to Beijing, the capital of Ming Dynasty, for the first time.

The prosperity of Beijing made Sony dizzy. Rows upon rows of restaurants, teahouses, brothels, bustling crowds, wide roads, and countless shops all surprised him. The Qing Dynasty wanted to conquer such a place, didn’t it? Some idiots are talking about dreams, but Sony firmly believes in Huang Taiji's ability, as long as it is what Huang Taiji says, it will definitely be able to do it.

Becoming a negotiating representative is something that Sony did not expect. This is a glorious and arduous task, but it is not an enviable task. It is far less enjoyable than fighting on the battlefield. In fact, Sony does not want to accept this task. It's just a warrior, it's too difficult to undertake such a negotiation task.But judging from the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty, this task is something he has to undertake. The prince, the county king, and Bei Le Beizi are definitely not suitable. Apart from these people, he would be regarded as Sony. Of course, Obai and Tan Tai and others are also possible, but both of them are inferior to Sony in terms of age and sophistication in dealing with people.

When leaving Shenyang, Huang Taiji had a special conversation with Sony, and talked about some matters that need to be paid attention to in the negotiation. This is the first negotiation between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. There has never been such a thing before. This time the negotiation , the Qing Dynasty was also at a disadvantage and asked the Ming Dynasty, so it is very important to grasp the scale. Huang Taiji is sensitively aware that the Ming Dynasty may not simply agree to the exchange. If other The request is very possible, under such circumstances, how should Sony respond.

The matter that Huang Taiji talked about is actually the issue of Sony's authority, that is, what things Sony can express its position on, to what extent it can express its position, and what matters it cannot express its position on.If it is only about the power on the letter sent by the Ming Dynasty, it is probably unlikely, and there is no need to negotiate.

Huang Taiji knew Sony's loyalty, and he was not worried that Sony would speak indiscriminately, which would harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty, so in the end, he did not limit Sony's authority.I just warned Sony that everything must be in the interests of the Qing Dynasty.

Sony has his own ideas. In this negotiation, he must stick to the principle. He can't speak casually, but he can't put on a big show.If Prince Li suffers on behalf of Shan because of his own attitude, then it is his own responsibility. Sometimes, he can suffer some grievances, but he must ensure the safety of Prince Li.

After arriving in the capital, Sony lived in an official post specially arranged by the Ministry of Officials.According to the requirements of the host and guest department of the Ministry of Rites, they are not allowed to go out at ordinary times. The people in the capital hate the Houjin Tartars to the bone. When they arrived at the official post, Sonny was also very self-conscious, and didn't propose to come and have a look around. Their appearance was too special.When the braids on the head, people can quickly be found out that they are full of people.

But Sony made a request to meet Prince Li Daishan. [

This requirement was always emphasized by Huang Taiji. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation was, the first thing to do was to meet Daishan and see what Daishan was like.Otherwise, the negotiation can be refused. If Daishan has been executed by the Ming Dynasty, it is also uncertain, so this negotiation.It's purely a trick.

Sonny and his entourage lived in the official post, waiting for news silently. They lived alone in a courtyard, surrounded by Daming Jinyi Guards, it was impossible for anyone to approach, and it was impossible for Sonny to know all the news outside.Two days later, some attendants became anxious, thinking that the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty was obviously rude, but Sony did not lose his temper. He had already passed the age of no confusion and knew how to endure.

Three days later, an official from the Ming Dynasty came to the small courtyard and told Soni that he could go to see Daishan, but only two people.

Sonny was very happy, being able to meet Prince Li was something he wished for, but Sonny was also worried in his heart. He originally thought that if he made this request, the Ming court would definitely make things difficult for him, but he did not expect to agree so soon. It showed the high confidence of the Ming court. Thinking of what he had seen in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Sony felt how arduous Huang Taiji's goal of destroying the Ming Dynasty was.

When he entered the prison, Sony's anger slowly came up. He thought that the Ming Dynasty would definitely treat Prince Li kindly, and at least arrange a separate courtyard to detain him. After all, Daishan is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his status is not ordinary, but such a Anger can only be buried in the heart, there is no place to explode.

Entering the interrogation room, seeing Daishan for the first time, Sony knelt down excitedly.

"Prince Li, Zhenghuang Qijia Lasoni pays my respects."

Daishan, who was waiting in the interrogation room, never dreamed that he would see Soni in the prison, and his face turned pale for a moment. Could it be that Su Tiancheng's Jiangning camp won another big victory in such a short time, and Zheng Huangqi also encountered Lost badly.

Daishan didn't have time to say hello to Sony, so he grabbed him.

"Sony, what's going on here? You've come to the prison anyway. Could it be that Zhenghuang Qi also suffered a failure?"

In the interrogation room, there were four Jinyiwei, but the conversation between Daishan and Sony was in Manchu, which these Jinyiwei could not understand. In this regard, Yang Sichang, Zhu Shenxuan and others did not want to play tricks. Just meet and talk about anything you want, nothing special.

Seeing Daishan's face turning pale, Sonny quickly answered.

"My lord, the subordinates are arranged by the emperor to come to Daming capital to discuss matters."

Daishan breathed a sigh of relief, and then became alert again.

"Discuss what, what's going on, my Qing Dynasty has never discussed anything with the Ming Dynasty, is it a matter of seeking peace?" [

Daishan thought that he had written to Huang Taiji and talked about the matter of seeking peace, but the matter of seeking peace was not as simple as talking about it. Who knows what kind of request the Ming Dynasty will make? I am afraid that the Manchu nobles will not easily agree to the peace.

Sony stabilized his emotions. Daishan is in good health, does not look like he has been tortured, and is in good spirits. It seems that life is also guaranteed. Although he is locked in a prison, he can have such treatment. It's pretty good.

Seeing the situation of Daishan, Sony was even more worried. He never thought that the Ming Dynasty had such confidence. He had heard that after Su Tiancheng occupied Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, he did not kill the Manchus living there. Seeing that Daishan is in good health now, doesn't this show that the Ming Dynasty was confident in its attitude towards the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, this subordinate came to the capital this time because the Ming Dynasty proposed the terms of exchange. Geng Zhongming and Monk Kexi were exchanged for the lord. The emperor sent his subordinates to negotiate this matter."

Daishan was silent for a few minutes, then spoke quickly.

"Sony, can't the emperor see the vicious intentions in this kind of exchange? Don't pay any attention to it at all."

"Don't worry, my lord. Both Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi took the initiative to express their views. If they insist on an exchange, the emperor also disagrees. They would rather exchange gold and silver treasures."

Dai Shan nodded, and the idea of ​​the exchange was probably Su Tiancheng's idea. This strategy is very vicious. If it is not done well, it may shake the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi agreed to the exchange. Of course, the so-called It is also unrealistic to agree to the exchange voluntarily. Here Cheng Cheng's idea, Fan Wencheng's brain is flexible, and he can think of a way to deal with it. It is impossible for Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi not to agree.

"Sony, do you have any special orders from the emperor when you come to Daming this time?"

Daishan will not talk about the letter he wrote, and it is estimated that Huang Taiji did not mention it. Since Huang Taiji did not say it, he should not take the initiative to bring it up. But let’s see if Sony comes to Daming this time. There are other tasks.

"The emperor asked the minister to handle this matter well."

Sony made it very clear, nothing else.

Daishan sighed softly, never expecting that the Qing Dynasty, which was once powerful and powerful, would encounter such a thing.

His expression became a little serious, and he watched Sony speak word by word.

"Sony, I understand what the emperor means, but you have to remember that no matter what, everything must protect the interests of our Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty's demands are too much, I would rather commit suicide in a prison than Let the scheme of the Ming Dynasty succeed."

Sonny's body trembled, and he knelt down again.

"My lord, take care of your health, your subordinates will be able to handle this matter well."

After Sony left, Daishan went back to the cell and was silent. He thought a lot. He had a very bad impression of Fan Wencheng in the past. He always thought that Fan Wencheng liked to play tricks. Han people also have such virtues. But now the reality is in front of him, and Daishan knows that sometimes, for the benefit of the country, there is nothing that cannot be done, and being upright may be a disadvantage. The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are always enemies, and the future struggle between the two sides will be Even more intense, sometimes, in order to achieve the goal, it is understandable that no extreme is used.

At this moment, Daishan felt why Huang Taiji relied so much on Fan Wencheng. Manchus were relatively simple in mind and always liked to use violence to solve problems. Little did they know that some problems could be solved by violence alone, which would cause too many sequelae To deal with it with seemingly civilized but indiscriminate means, I am afraid the effect will be much better.

Thinking about this, Dai Shan was even more discouraged. Why did there be such a talent as Su Tiancheng in the Ming Dynasty? It would be great if such a talent appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Immediately, Dai Shan thought, Su Tiancheng, who is a Han, is In the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it is unlikely to have such a great power.

Facts have shown that Huang Taiji is really great. Manchus and Han people must coexist peacefully, so that the Qing Dynasty can have hope. (to be continued...)
