Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1006

If it can be resolved through negotiation, it is better to resolve the matter through negotiation, which saves time and effort.

After the battle report from the Southwest came to Nanjing, the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Han Dynasty came to an end.

Han Chaoxuan was sent by Hauge to Nanjing to seek peace with the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty obviously delayed, Hauge suddenly sent troops south to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army when he took the initiative to seek peace. No matter how you look at it, he broke his promise again.

This raid is just a raid. If it succeeds, it's okay to say, the key is that the raid failed, but was surrounded by the Ming army, and almost became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Hauge escaped by chance, he damaged the vitality of the Jin Kingdom, and made Han Chaoxuan in Nanjing very passive. He was pointed out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and scolded the barbarian country for having no credibility, which completely ended the previous negotiations.

This is simply stealing chickens without losing money.

After Hauge was defeated and returned to Chengdu, he was terrified, afraid that the Ming army would take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Chengdu, so he licked his face and sent a secret envoy to tell Han Chaoxuan that he hoped that he could negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and if he failed, he would delay the time.

The Ming Dynasty hurt Han Chaoxuan and Jin Guo a few words, but they still started new negotiations.This time the Ming Dynasty was not only standing on the commanding heights of morality, but also on the side of the victors, so its attitude was extremely tough, and it proposed that the Kingdom of Jin must be returned to Sichuan and Hanzhong, and a border market should be opened to send war horses to the Ming Dynasty every year. A series of conditions such as proclaiming the court.

Since the Ming Dynasty was played by the Qing envoy once, the Ming Dynasty has been very vigilant about negotiations, and it can be regarded as gaining wisdom from a fall in the pit. Basically, it is negotiating and preparing at the same time, so the negotiation will not affect the Ming Dynasty's preparations. A means to an end.

Hauge suffered a defeat, Jin Guo was injured and did not want to fight again. Hauge expressed his willingness to open a border market, but the Ming Dynasty still refused to give up.

Clay figurines still have three parts earthy nature, and the Ming Dynasty is too reasonable and unforgiving. Hauge became angry and flatly rejected Ming Dynasty's request.

If the blackmail failed, there was no response from the Ming Dynasty, and they concentrated on preparing for the war to win Hanzhong and Sichuan.

There was no response from the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't even say a word of cruelty, so the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin began to worry. This biting dog doesn't bark, and those insidious villains in the south must be blackmailed, so they want to take advantage of it. When they were defeated and their vitality had not yet recovered, they attacked the Dajin Kingdom.

All of a sudden, Xuan Jingwei, the spy organization of the Kingdom of Jin, sent back news to Hauge, showing that the Ming Dynasty was planning to attack from Sichuan and Hanzhong at the same time, intending to seize half of the Kingdom of Jin in one battle.

The current military strength of the Kingdom of Jin is only about 15, and the total of Hanzhong and Sichuan is only 5, and the Ming army may use about 15 troops. Hauge himself finds it difficult to resist, let alone the generals below.

In order to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Hauge could only prepare for battle from two aspects, internal and external.

In the First World War in Sichuan, most of the Manchu forces in the Kingdom of Jin were lost. Haoge could only rely on the Han people. Take power and start preparing for battle.

In addition to mobilizing troops and horses by himself, Hauge could only put down his face and beg Dorgon, asking Dorgon to attack the Ming Dynasty and help him share the pressure.

When Dorgon in Beijing saw Hauge's letter, he felt secretly refreshed, but at the same time he was very worried about the Ming Dynasty becoming bigger.

This year, as Hauge broke the contract, the energy and strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty shifted to the southwest. Dorgon and the Qing Dynasty only felt relaxed.Not only repelled the invasion of the Zhungeer tribe of Mongolia in western Moxi, but also conquered Mongolia in northern Mobei, and the power recovered slightly. What's more gratifying is that they taught North Korea a lesson and defeated the [-] Ming army in North Korea. Improving the morale of the Qing army, it can be said that the decline of the Qing Dynasty was reversed in one fell swoop.

All of this is due to one person, that is, Hauge. If he hadn't taken the initiative to set himself on fire, the Qing Dynasty would not have been so easy.

Looking at Hauge's letter, Dorgon was very hesitant. After all, he was preparing to deal with Jiang Yu in Shanxi, step by step to eradicate the Han warlords who supported themselves in the Qing Dynasty, and strengthen the centralization of power. Will the war draw the Ming Dynasty's attention back?

In the blink of an eye, at the end of 1651, the Ming Dynasty began to conduct a year-end summary. The Ministry of Accounts summarized the accounts and found that due to several wars, the court was in debt of more than [-] million yuan this year.

For this, the meeting hall felt a little dissatisfied with Wang Yan, who held great power, and hoped that the imperial court could fill up the national treasury first.

Wang Yan wanted to drastically rectify the military administration and increase the national strength, but he really needed the treasury to be full, and he couldn't always eat what he had.

If you want to enrich the treasury and strengthen the national power, what do you rely on?Of course it is the economy, nothing can be done without money.

Over the past few years, the economy in the south has gradually recovered, and industry and commerce have developed day by day, but they still cannot bear to deal with the huge expenses caused by frequent wars, and the national treasury is still stretched.

The economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was sufficiently developed, and the annual income reached more than 50 million yuan when it was high, but it still couldn't sustain the long-term tug-of-war, and finally went bankrupt after persisting for nearly [-] years.

The annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty was less than 2000 million, so trying to save money was a dream. Wang Yan could only focus on overseas trade, because it was the most profitable.

In the three years of co-government, Wang Yan decided to further strengthen the imperial court's control over the various treaty ports. In addition to the previous promotion of the post of the Municipal Shipping Department, the central government directly dispatched personnel to manage it in a unified manner. From next year, other officials of the Municipal Shipping Department will also It is necessary for the central government to approve the appointment and strengthen the central government's management of overseas trade.

In addition, Wang Yan will also send envoys to Japan to revise the trade treaty.

Japan is now in a closed state. The trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan was mostly based on smuggling, mainly with the southern Japanese daimyo, Ouchi family, and Shimadzu.

The scale of this kind of smuggling is too small, and it is in the hands of the Zheng family and the King Lu faction, which hinders other businessmen from entering Japan, and the Sino-Japanese trade cannot be expanded.

Part of the current silver in the Ming Dynasty was imported from Japan. Many businessmen were eager to further open up the Japanese market. Wang Yan wanted to open up the source. Only by negotiating with Japan, he hoped that the Japanese shogunate would allow Chinese people to freely enter Japanese trade, in order to further expand the market .

In addition to Japan, the Nanyang feudal vassals also had to revise their treaties. The original tributary system of exploration and cooperation trade was no longer applicable to the current ordinary maritime trade, and the treaties had to be revised.

In addition, in the South Seas, there was a bottleneck in maritime trade. The sphere of influence of the Dutch was to the south, the Spaniards to the east, and Toungoo, the little overlord of the South Seas to the west. The Ming Dynasty was surrounded in the middle and could not develop.

It is said that the Zheng family's fleet has avoided the influence of Guangnan maritime merchants, directly crossed Nanyang, and sailed the fleet to Tianzhu. There were no strongholds like the Dutch along the way, and the trade route was not smooth.

The strength of Guangnan maritime merchants is not as strong as that of the Zheng family. Naturally, it is impossible to venture to Tianzhu. They aimed at Spain, which has gradually declined, and wanted to acquire the Luzon region. However, the strength of maritime merchants is not very strong now. They can equip Twelve-pounder ships were few and far between and could not shake Spain.

At this time, ministers from Guangdong began to write letters to the imperial court, saying that the Spaniards would destroy our country, and that they had massacred Ming people in Luzon, hoping that the imperial court would come forward to protect the Chinese in Luzon and help the Luzon people to restore their country.
