Ming politicians

(Thanks to Matryoshka for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thanks to the rewards who choose to take the middle route without going left or right, thank you.)

Dai Shan, who returned to the palace, seemed to be reborn.

He remembers all the exchange process very clearly. After being taken to Dalinghe City, he was held there for several days without receiving any ill-treatment. Back in Shenyang, but I didn't have much hope. In such negotiations, the Qing Dynasty is completely at a disadvantage, and the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to propose conditions.

Starting from Dalinghe City, Daishan’s heart beat fast when he headed to Montenegro. He knew that Montenegro was controlled by the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that he was going to be sent directly to Montenegro? But after entering the city of Montenegro, he saw This scene made Daishan almost faint. Inside the city of Heishan, there were all soldiers of Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers of Houjin could not be seen. At this time, Daishan understood why he was able to return to Shenyang. It seems that Huang Taiji agreed. All the conditions put forward by the Ming Dynasty have been fulfilled.

The exchange process is very simple. It is carried out in the city of Montenegro, and it is still Sony who comes to exchange.

Dai Shan saw the bodies of Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming.

Later, Daishan found out that after arriving in Ningyuan, the day before the exchange, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi committed suicide by taking poison, leaving behind a complete body. These two people were actually exchanging themselves. Daishan didn't see it, and it was impossible to count these things in front of Daishan.

Leaving Heishan City and walking forward for more than twenty li, Daishan saw Jierhalang who was waiting with his army.

Only at this time did Daishan understand that he was truly free, and it was also at this time that Daishan asked the Qing Dynasty what he had paid so that he could return to Shenyang. [

After learning about the conditions of the exchange, Daishan's face became very ugly.There is no joy of freedom at all. Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, as well as 1 taels of gold and [-] war horses, this is not a big loss, but losing the city of Montenegro is not a small loss. Losing Montenegro .Yizhou was also unable to hold on. The Qing soldiers stationed in Yizhou could only withdraw to Guangning, because the transportation line of Yizhou was in the hands of the Ming army. If it was transported from Mongolia, the cost would be too high.Furthermore, if the army completely blocks the transportation route, Uiju will become a dead city.

This price is huge, and it is also borne by Daishanfa.

Occupying Heishan and Yizhou, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty paid a huge price, including occupying Dalinghe City. Over the years, the Qing Dynasty has expanded its territory in order to expand its territory.After countless fights, each time they occupied a large amount of land, and never gave up the land. This time, in order to get back to themselves, they actually gave up Heishan and Yizhou.

The failure in Xuanzhou and the demise of Zhenghongqi have made Dai Shan feel ashamed and suffered such a major blow.Daishan's understanding has also undergone tremendous changes, from the previous complacency to the situation of serious reflection and self-pity, this process is extremely painful, but this process is also precious, prompting Daishan to truly wake up .

To put it bluntly, back to Daishan in Shenyang, in terms of personal knowledge and insights.Not weaker than Fan Wencheng at all.

Back in Shenyang, Huang Taiji led many Manchu nobles to greet him at the gate of the city. Dai Shan was very calm after seeing Huang Taiji.He also acted very calmly, this kind of demeanor moved Huang Taiji.

Dai Shan didn't go to the Chongzheng Hall, but went straight back to the mansion. He needed time to calm down.

After Daishan returned to the mansion, Huang Taiji issued a special order that no one should disturb Daishan, let Daishan have a good rest in the mansion, let alone visit. At this time, what Daishan needs is calm and adjustment.

Two days later, Huang Taiji went to Daishan's mansion in person, and he brought Jierhalang and Fan Wencheng with him.

Huang Taiji came to Daishan's mansion in person. First, he meant to visit Daishan. Second, he wanted to see how Daishan would change after such a catastrophe. The second purpose was to main.Daishan is in good health, and it seems that he has not suffered any torture, so there is no need to worry too much about his body. Besides, Daishan has returned to Shenyang, and there are many people who want to meet, including Dorgon, Duoduo, Haoge and Azige and the others all asked someone to come back with a letter to say hello to Daishan.

The construction of the Zhenghong Banner is imminent. Dai Shan is the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner. Only when the banner owner comes back can the Zhenghong Banner be rebuilt. According to the rules of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, even Huang Taiji is not good enough to intervene in the formation of the Zhenghong Banner. matter.

Dai Shan had already greeted him at the gate of the mansion.

Looking at Daishan in plain clothes, Huang Taiji was very moved. Seeing Daishan again, he felt that Daishan's temperament was much more stable, and he had the performance of seeing through everything. If possible, Daishan would even become a monk and Taoist priest up.

Dai Shan led Huang Taiji and his party directly to the study.

Entering the study room, Huang Taiji saw that there were brushes and inkstones on the desk, and rice paper was spread on the desk. It seemed that Daishan was practicing calligraphy in the past few days, which was very interesting. Daishan was a soldier and never liked to write and read books. Those things were asked by the former emperor, but Daishan couldn't calm down. [

"Second brother has practiced calligraphy these days, it's very good."

"Your Majesty, I have returned to Shenyang, and I feel as if I have been reborn. Everything is a bit uncomfortable. I am grateful for the Emperor's kindness."

"Second brother, don't say that. I can't get rid of the responsibility for the suffering of the second brother this time. It is also my duty to let the second brother return to Shenyang safely."

"Your majesty, don't say that. In this disastrous defeat, Zhenghongqi was completely annihilated. So many warriors fell in front of the minister. The minister is in great pain. This is all the minister's mistake. They are all thinking about it, and implore the emperor to punish them."

"Second brother, don't say that. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. When we return to Shenyang, everything will be fine. I'm still waiting for second brother to rebuild Zhenghongqi. Don't worry about the past."

Daishan did not show any special excitement. He is old and has encountered such a big change. Daishan has seen through many things. It is not just a few words that can be grateful. There are more things that come to mind, and they are more realistic.

Seeing that Huang Taiji cared about him so much, Dai Shan didn't want to say more, he was still in the process of thinking, and felt that what he said might dissatisfy many Manchu nobles, but the emperor's concern made Dai Shan feel , Some words must be said by oneself, otherwise the heart will be very disturbed.

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to say and think about because of the accident this time. A lot of my words are nonsense. I just have three suggestions. I ask the Emperor to make a decision after listening to what I have to say."

"Second brother has any suggestions, just say it."

"The first suggestion, I think, under the current situation, our Qing Dynasty should repair with the Ming Dynasty, and it is better not to confront it for the time being. Although it is difficult to do this, as long as the emperor is sincere, stop confrontation in a short time Fighting and killing is still possible."

"The second suggestion is that I feel that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are brave, and the cavalry is the enemy of the world. But this understanding will change after the appearance of the Jiangning Battalion. I have seen the bravery of the Jiangning Battalion with my own eyes. In the first year of Chongde, Azig led an army of 3 to enter the customs, and lost [-] people. At that time, I still felt a little incomprehensible. Later, the Jiangning camp captured Dalinghe City, and I thought it was a fluke. Now I understand now that the Jiangning Camp is indeed my biggest opponent in the Manchu Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty."

"The third suggestion, I feel that my Qing Dynasty should pay attention to the construction of the Shenji Camp. The warriors of my Qing Dynasty are brave since they were young. They dare to fight wild beasts in the white mountains and black waters. Those who resist the artillery, the lethality of the Jiangning camp artillery, I have really experienced it. I suggest that the emperor should spend the most energy, equip advanced artillery, purchase a large number of flintlock guns, and enhance my combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners. Don't be stingy with money. .”

Daishan said three suggestions in one breath, and the study became quiet.

In fact, Huang Taiji had realized these understandings a long time ago. In terms of combat power, the Qing Dynasty is not at a disadvantage. The Ming Dynasty can fight against the Manchu Eight Banners, that is, the Jiangning Camp led by Su Tiancheng. From the economic comparison of the two sides , the problem arises, the Qing Dynasty has not been able to enter the customs and plunder for many years, and the wealth it owns is in the process of being gradually consumed, but the Ming Dynasty has several bright spots, the mutual market in Anningbao and Jingbian, and the Shibo in Nanjing Companies, including the docks in Dengzhou, are all places that can gather money for the imperial court and Jiangning camp. In contrast, in the Qing Dynasty, there are almost no such bright spots. One is gradual consumption, and the other is slowly accumulating. After a long time, The pros and cons come naturally.

It's not that Huang Taiji hasn't thought about where he should choose a breakthrough point. In the past, he rarely thought about this issue, including the artillery and flintlock issues mentioned by Daishan, including the construction of the Shenji Camp. Come on, this issue must also be paid great attention to, otherwise the Manchu Eight Banners may eventually be completely defeated by Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying.

What Dai Shan said is very important, that is to find a way to quickly make peace with the Ming Dynasty. Under the current circumstances, it is not suitable for the two sides to start a war, which is very detrimental to the Qing Dynasty, but how to make peace, There is a lot of attention to how to stop the soldiers, and it can't be done by talking about it.

"I will seriously consider what the second brother said. The second brother still needs to pay attention to his health."

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with my body. After a few days of rest, I still have to do things."

Huang Taiji didn't stay for long, and Jierhalang and Fan Wencheng didn't speak, but their expressions were very serious. Although their thoughts were different, there was one thing in common. They both felt it. During this catastrophe, Daishan's character changed a lot. (to be continued...)
