Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

If it was her, Jiang Han could also understand why someone would lick the iron flagpole, because it is difficult to understand 40's train of thought.

"Welcome, come here quickly, I have some snacks here, eat them first, I will call your sister over for you."

When they heard the word "sister", their eyes lit up instantly. They immediately ran to Jiang Han, hugged his hands and began to ask impatiently: "Sister!? Is 45 sister here too? Where is she!!!"

"Don't worry, don't worry. She's busy in the city now. I'll call her for you. It'll be quick. Sit down first..." Jiang Han comforted the two children while sending a message to Sister 45 on the comms: "Come to my office immediately. It's urgent!"

"What's wrong? Why are you crazy?"

"Hurry! There's no time to explain! Get in the car!"

"...I'll be there soon"

After sending the message, Jiang Han looked at the two little guys with a good smile on his face: "By the way, do you want to give your sister a surprise?"

"Surprise!?" The two looked at each other and nodded immediately! "Yes!!"

"Okay, then from now on, both of you have to listen to me, and we will do this and that..."

In Shenyang, the peace negotiations with the Qing court were widely recognized by the generals.

Fighting in Korea is no joke. Since the Tartars are begging for peace, things that can be resolved at the negotiation table can save the trouble of sending out troops. This can be regarded as a perfect ending to the Northern Expedition.

What's more, the environment here is too harsh, and the warm supplies they brought are not enough to support long-term consumption.

In the city of Shenyang, the negotiation area was very spacious. It was the Da Zheng Hall on the right side of the former Shengjing Imperial Palace. This was where Huang Taiji used to hold meetings with the leaders of the eight banners.

The one who came to negotiate with the Volunteer Army this time was Niu Jinxing, who had just joined the Pearl Tears Elegy tribe before the version update. He had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty was crushed by someone. This time, Niu Jinxing volunteered to participate in the negotiations. He also wanted to gain more voice for himself in the chaotic Qing Dynasty.

Without any nonsense, Niu Jinxing was also a man who had seen big scenes, and he spoke directly: "My Great Qing Dynasty will not cede land, nor will it pay tribute. We will only pay compensation and send women. One hundred thousand taels of silver, sixteen girls, to be paid in one lump sum, not every year. You must return Jianzhou, which is the ancestral land of our dynasty's founder!"

The negotiator looked surprised and asked, "Excuse me, have you gone crazy all of a sudden? One hundred thousand taels of silver, it would cost us more than one hundred thousand taels to conquer a county."

Niu Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled: "It's up to you whether you want it or not! This is the condition of the Qing Dynasty!"

Seeing that the other party was being unreasonable, the ambassador frowned and said, "I want to ask, did Great Yan win this battle, or did you win?"

Niu Jinxing said calmly: "My Qing Dynasty lost, so what? We can afford to lose!"

Several ambassadors of the Volunteer Army looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing where Tatar Qing had found this genius. Wasn't this simply courting death?

An ambassador said: "Since you can afford to lose, then listen to our Great Yan's conditions. Dorgon will give up his imperial title and submit to our Great Yan, cede all the land north of the Taedong River in Pyongyang, and pay us a war indemnity of one million taels!"

Niu Jinxing said decisively: "Absolutely impossible! You Yan country want the peace of my Qing Dynasty, right? Come on, fight!"

An ambassador said: "Then you have to go back and ask the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty what other tricks he can play besides ceding land and becoming a vassal!"

Niu Jinxing said righteously: "You are powerful, but how long can you stretch the battle line? How wide can you spread the battlefield?"

"Although my Great Qing is weak and our weapons are inferior to yours, my Great Qing is united in purpose and will wear you down and kill you even with our flesh and blood!"

Niu Jinxing's words silenced the ambassadors. He had never seen such a shameless person who actually described the Manchus as being so righteous. If he was not mistaken, this person seemed to be a Han Chinese?

If the two Manchu deputy envoys had said these words, there would have been some movement and applause, but the key point was that these words actually came from the mouth of a Tartar!

No matter how they talked, Niu Jinxing looked like a tough guy, and the Qing Dynasty was like a girl who had been bullied. Several ambassadors wanted to kick him.

"How shameless!"

The negotiations were forced to pause, and after a few hours of rest, they resumed. The Dayan negotiation team had a new group of people, and all the civil servants were replaced by military generals, led by Mao Yuanyi, who was determined to kill the Tartars.

Niu Jinxing obviously felt that he had already fed and housed the volunteers, and still said calmly: "The conditions of my Qing Dynasty are very simple. We will pay a compensation of 100,000 taels of silver, paid in full in one lump sum, and Yan Kingdom will withdraw its troops and return the ancestral land of Jianzhou from Jiuliancheng to the north of Hetuala."

Mao Yuanyi smiled: "My army has occupied the land, and you still want to go back? Aren't you dreaming too much?"

Niu Jinxing added: "As for silver and money, it's easy to talk about. The Qing Dynasty can add another 100,000 taels. Are you satisfied now?"

Mao Yuanyi slammed the table and said, "Satisfied! Don't you know what the situation is like for you Jiannu? Are you still putting on airs with me?"

Niu Jinxing still acted very tough: "My Qing Dynasty is so straightforward!"

Mao Yuanyi pointed at him and said, "The conditions of my Great Yan are also very generous. You have to cede land, pay compensation, compensate cattle and sheep, and compensate me for the funds for the army to march out, one million taels of silver!"

Niu Jinxing shook his head and said, "You are too greedy. My Qing Dynasty cannot accept it!"

Mao Yuanyi waved his hand and said with disdain: "Then let's not talk about it. I will drive you directly into the sea and get everything!"

Niu Jinxing said shamelessly: "Then you guys fight! My Great Qing Emperor has arrived in Pyongyang, you guys keep chasing him, why don't you chase him?"

Mao Yuanyi was also incited: "Are you giving up on yourself? Are you planning to throw the jar into the ground?"

As he spoke, he lifted up Niu Jinxing's small body and said with a smile, "Are you really not afraid of death, old man?"

Niu Jinxing was shocked and asked repeatedly: "Who... who are you? How dare you use violence against me?"

Mao Yuanyi picked him up and threw him to the ground, shouting, "Let me ask you one question. Do you, the second Tartar, represent the Tartar Qing in rejecting the peace talks and wanting to fight another battle with our Great Yan? If so, agree to it. I will order the battle to start on the front line right now!"

Niu Jinxing squatted on the ground and said in dissatisfaction: "Who are you? How dare you start a war during the peace talks?"

Mao Yuanyi said: "I am not talented enough. I am the one who is in charge of this Northern Expedition. Now the war is not over yet. How can you say that you started a war privately?"

Niu Jinxing was shocked and stood up quickly, saying, "Oh! It turned out to be... General Mao. I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Mao Yuanyi didn't really want to talk. He looked at the other party's stubborn look and said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. If you can talk, then talk. If you can't fight, then fight. You're dithering like a woman! I don't want to talk anymore!"

After hearing this, the usually calm Niu Jinxing panicked. The other party's gangster habits didn't seem to be fake, and the negotiations might really fail this time.

What was the point of coming here if the negotiations failed? You don't want the title anymore?

Niu Jinxing smiled and said, "General, calm down. The conditions you just mentioned are all negotiable. This time, I have brought sixteen young ladies with me. You can choose any one you like. The compensation is also negotiable."

Mao Yuanyi nodded and said, "What about the matter of becoming a vassal?"

"Let the Qing Dynasty submit to you? Sure!"

Niu Jinxing lowered his posture and said, "Since you have pledged your loyalty, shouldn't Yan Kingdom return the land of Jianzhou to us, so that we can have our ancestral land?"

Mao Yuanyi waved his hands and said firmly: "Impossible! Every inch of land in Liaodong was won by our soldiers with their blood and flesh, and we will never give it up! Not only that, you must cede Pyeongan Province north of the Taedong River to me. These are the conditions, and there is no room for negotiation!"

Niu Jinxing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed behind him, saying patiently: "Don't be impatient, General... We can still discuss the matter of redelineating the border..."

I forgot the pain, I recommend a book, title: "Ark End of the World, But the Fourth Disaster!"

Description: "Go! For a better world!"

"Fuck him, die!"

"What Haisi? Our journey is to the sea of ​​stars!"

The players are super enthusiastic, the players are not afraid of death, the players are super righteous, the players are super brave!!!

After traveling to the end of the Arknights and becoming an NPC, Tu Shanyao was surprised to find that he could summon a creature from Earth: the "player".

When there is a hardcore player among the players, Tu Shanyao can barely survive in the end times.

When there are ten hardcore players, Tu Shanyao eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks.

When there are 100 or 1,000 hardcore gamers...

"Hey player! There is a hidden mission here. Do you want to take it?"

"Yes, yes, yes. What mission?"

"I will definitely work hard to complete it!" QQ group ①68贰伊7七①⑥

Volume 428: Chapter Chapter : Western Expedition to Mongolia

45 walked slowly into the palace, looking impatient: "Your shabby place is so big, it takes me a long time to come here every time. You still want me to come here, what's the matter? I'm busy over there!"

"Sister 45, you're finally here!!" Jiang Han stepped forward with a horrified look on his face to hold onto half of the other person's body. He felt a little shaky and relaxed a little: "I think I saw a ghost!"

"?"

"You are such a grown man, and you are still afraid of ghosts? And aren't you the emperor now? Go out and ask around and see if there is any emperor who was so scared by a ghost that he ran into a woman's arms?"

"Me!" Jiang Han looked righteous.

".....You are so shameless... Never mind, this is your usual style. Where did you see this?" 45 felt helpless towards this tough guy in front of him. What else could he do? He had chosen this commander himself.

"It's right there." Jiang Han shrank back and pointed to a small door on the side.

"I don't know what that room is for. I went in and took a look. My God, it was so scary..."

"Why don't you go find that damn sister-con? Can't she come over too?"

"Oh...her..." Jiang Han sighed, looking like he was at a loss for words.

"Haha, I knew that this guy with a sister complex was definitely unreliable. He can't walk when he sees his sister, and he just sits there and people will complain about him for the rest of his life. He has no future."

As she spoke, Sister 45 reached out and lifted the curtain above the door, then walked in: "There's nothing strange in here..."

Pah! Two crisp sounds, the room was instantly bright, 40 and 9 grabbed 45's arms, one on the left and one on the right, looking at each other from bottom to top with big eyes: "Sister~~~ I miss you so much~~"

A moment later, Jiang Han urgently called for help on the communication channel: "Hurry up, Sister 45 has fainted!"

When the news of the successful peace talks spread, both sides were happy and felt that they had made a profit. For the Qing Dynasty, they needed a relatively stable environment to complete the power transition, and Jiang Han also needed time to recuperate the people's livelihood. The negotiations only asked for some livestock supplies and money and food. It seemed a bit short-sighted, but in fact, things like territory could be taken at will. The key was that talent was important.

The volunteer army in Pyongyang Prefecture returned to Liaodong, and Dorgon also began to return to Shengjing.

Everyone along the way was on the verge of a fight, and soldiers from various banners were secretly surging. Dorgon had already prepared all the steps to seize the throne, and he only needed to start the operation so that he could ascend the throne on the spot and become the new emperor.

Niu Jinxing returned to the unfamiliar Shengjing and was treated like Baturu. Everyone gave him a thumbs up and praised his bravery, saying that he had saved the Qing Dynasty.

Being able to save a life from the hands of a ruthless person is a real talent! His future is limitless!

Many officials from the Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolian, Han and Korean took the initiative to make friends with him, and Niu Jinxing ushered in the second highlight of his life.

The peace talks were successfully completed, and Niu Jinxing was awarded the first-class viscount for his contribution to the diplomatic mission.

Hong Chengchou, who proposed peace talks and helped the Qing Dynasty several times, was awarded the title of King of Dingnan for his meritorious services!

Dorgon could accept the result of the negotiations. He lost his imperial title, but could regard himself as the lord of the northern country. In fact, he just changed his name. He still called himself "I", no different from the emperor. He was still given the title of king, as if he was treating a funeral as a wedding.

Beijing

Jiang Han convened a meeting at the beginning of the year and announced two major events at the same time: the Western Expedition to Mongolia and full-scale spring plowing.

Mongolia south of the desert must be fought!

If such undisciplined and capricious people are not taught a lesson, they will cause even bigger troubles in the future!

Lessons are one thing, but the most important thing is to completely integrate the area south of the desert into the territory of Dayan and make Mongolia a barrier to protect Beijing.

Why defend Beijing? Because Jiang Han planned to relocate the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Nanjing.

The area around Nanjing is a major grain producing area. In this Little Ice Age, the production and planting capacity in the north has been greatly reduced. The south is the top priority and must be governed in order to support the survival of the entire country's food supply.

Now that the north has been destroyed and Beijing has been badly damaged, many people would not agree even if Jiang Han made Beijing the capital.

Not to mention that Jiang Han's entire family fortune is in Jiangnan, and the family properties of the Volunteer Army are all in Nanzhili. Returning to Beijing would be tantamount to moving the capital. Who would be willing to go to the north with their family to get some fresh air?

Most importantly, in the coming Age of Discovery, Nanjing was best suited to serve as the seat of a court for a vast overseas empire.

As long as Dongfan and Ryukyu were taken, Nanjing could avoid maritime threats and make full use of the Yangtze River channel and sea transportation to form a powerful supply line.

As for the threats on the grasslands, with the development of firearms, nomadic peoples could only become hospitable and good at singing and dancing.

If Da Yan could earn 100 million taels of silver annually from the ocean, all threats would no longer exist.

Similarly, a country's security does not lie in the safety of mountains and rivers. If the imperial court is rotten to the core, it will be of no use wherever the capital is located.

Even if it is infected, Beijing is not useless. Jiang Han plans to build Beijing and Xi'an into strong military towns, station troops there, train soldiers, store war resources, and be ready to respond to sudden changes in the north and northwest at any time, so that he can attack when he advances and defend when he retreats.

Mongolia south of the desert is adjacent to Beijing. Only by taking over Mongolia south of the desert can Jiang Han settle down in Nanjing with peace of mind, so this battle must be fought no matter what.

In fact, it is not necessary to mobilize too many troops against the Mongolians south of the desert. Only a part of the iron-blooded fast mobile forces, plus several volunteer troops that did not participate in the Northern Expedition, will be needed. The rest of the troops in Liaodong, except for the eastern garrison under the command of Mao Yuanyi, who will be responsible for the restoration of local production, will all return to the capital.

In order to boost the morale of the Western Expedition Army, Jiang Han announced that after this battle, he would confer titles on all the heroes!

The title of meritorious official is a title awarded to meritorious officials. It originated in the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, some meritorious officials were given the title of "Kaiyuan Meritorious Officials". During the reign of Emperor Daizong of Tang, they were given the title of "Baoying Meritorious Officials". Emperor Dezong of Tang fled to Fengxiang due to the chaos, and the title of "Fengtian Dingnan Yuancong Meritorious Officials" was given to the soldiers and officers of the imperial guards who accompanied him.

The titles of meritorious officials of the Ming Dynasty were: a group of founding nobles who followed Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world were called "founding heroes and assisting fortune", and those who followed Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di to quell the rebellion were called "following the will of heaven and quelling the rebellion". The Great Yan also needed its own titles.

Jiang Han ordered the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to forge an iron certificate of "The Flame Will Always Burn" in advance to confer the title of meritorious official, engraved with the name, merits, and official rank of the recipient, in order to reassure the troops.

Jiang Han revealed in advance that this time, at least three marshals, eight generals, and ten division commanders would be appointed, and the soldiers participating in the Northern Expedition would all be rewarded with large amounts of land and silver.

After this decision was announced, the morale of the army was immediately boosted, especially the volunteers who participated in the Western Expedition, who regained their spirits. The volunteers who returned to the court also actively requested to participate in the Western Expedition.

This Western Expedition penetrated thousands of miles deep into Mongolian territory and supply was difficult. Jiang Han only sought a quick victory and insisted on the original battle plan. Having too many people was useless, so the rest of the army returned south as planned.

Some soldiers who were expecting to be awarded more titles and titles for their new merits were quite disappointed and had to wait for the opportunity to go on an expedition in the future.

Now that the new emperor of Dayan has risen in the east, it is inevitable that he will conquer all directions. There will certainly be many wars in the future, and it doesn't matter if it's a few years earlier or later. Thinking of this, many soldiers were relieved.

At the meeting, a series of arrangements were made for the main and secondary routes, and the troops were divided into three directions to attack.
