...
Originally, Huang Taiji was still holding a glimmer of hope, hoping that Jinzhou could last for ten days and half a month, so that he could make a calm deployment and then break the siege of Jinzhou. He didn't know that Jinzhou changed hands overnight. He was so angry that he wanted to capture Ajige, the guard now, and chopped his head!
At this moment, Amin, who was negotiating in Ningyuan, was still aggressive and asked Liu Hongxun to sign the ten items they proposed without changing. Liu Hongxun was so angry that he had to pretend to be smiling and pretend to be silenced. Because he had not yet received the exact news from the front, he tried his best to hold Amin and others to talk about some intangible marginal topics. Amin's two deputy were Han people, and he was worried that he could not find someone with common hobbies in the Later Jin Dynasty. Liu Hongxun and Huang Jin were both from Jinshi, so he was naturally full of knowledge and talked about whether it was harmonious.
"Mr. Liu, we have been having a third peace talks for several days. Since you have not come up with any advice, why don't you sign the agreement earlier? Ben Belle can also return to Shengjing to fight to me!" Seeing that the day has been so stammering again, Er Belle Amin's patience has finally been almost wiped out. The first one couldn't sit still and stood up and asked Liu Hongxun.
"Amin Belle, it's not that I am unwilling to sign, but it's difficult to withdraw the garrison of Pidao. Huang Taiji Khan must have known that Pidao has not respected the imperial orders for a day or two. Even if I am signed on the peace agreement, then I can't do it, wouldn't this peace agreement be a piece of empty text and no binding force at all?" Liu Hongxun looked embarrassed.
"What do you think of?" Amin asked as he thought about it.
"It's better to send Amin Beile to write this and explain the difficulties of the court to Huang Taiji Khan. How about removing this?" Liu Hongxun deliberately delayed the time. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether Amin or not send a letter.
"This is not possible. These ten items were drafted by the Khan himself and must not be changed!" Amin refused, "If you want to find a way, it should be your Ming court that will find a way. If you don't respect the order, can't you send troops to force them to withdraw?"
Liu Hongxun couldn't help but sneer in his heart. There was no such good thing in the world. Helping his enemies clear obstacles was simply to see that there was no one in the Ming Dynasty, but his face was still full of air: "The Dongjiang River is lonely and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the island. Even if it wants to withdraw to the Central Plains, it will not be a day's achievement."
"Then how long will it take if we really withdraw to the Central Plains?" Amin didn't know that Liu Hongxun was just teasing him and evacuated the Pidao garrison. However, the emperor never thought that even if Mao Wenlong was dealt with, the court would not withdraw the Pidao garrison, unless the Later Jin Dynasty was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, there might be such a possibility.
Liu Hongxun pretended to be thoughtful for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and turned the front and back.
"Five months?" Amin said.
Liu Hongxun shook his head.
"Ten months?" Amin continued.
"Not enough!" Liu Hongxun spitted out two words.
"Five years?" Amin couldn't hold back.
"No, no!" Liu Hongxun's belly burst into laughter. Huang Taiji sent such a second-bele master to negotiate. I don't know what he was worried about?
"Ten years!" Amin took a deep breath.
Liu Hongxun nodded and said, "It should be almost enough."
Amin was not a head made of elmwood. She sat down and thought something was wrong. There were only a few people on Pi Island. It would take ten years to evacuate it? She hurriedly grabbed Liu Hongxun and asked, "Mr. Liu, there are only a few people in Pi Island, and it takes ten years to evacuate it. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Exaggeration?" Liu Hongxun's face suddenly sank, "Nothing exaggerated at all. Does Amin Belle know how many people there are on Pi Island?"
"It's about fifty or six hundred thousand!" Amin didn't know the specific number, and said casually, the Han people under the Later Jin rule continued to flee to Pi Island. The population figure on Pi Island is indeed difficult to count.
Liu Hongxun did not care about the population figures, nodded and said, "The number Amin Beile said is different. You think, it would be easy to deal with Mao Wenlong who is willing to withdraw to the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of people can be withdrawn in three to five years, and it cannot be withdrawn in one go. How can the court arrange it? Hundreds of thousands of people open their mouths to have a meal. The court must have a coordinated arrangement, a careful plan, and withdraw it in batches, so that there will be no chaos. Therefore, it may be difficult to complete without five years. If Mao Wenlong is unwilling to withdraw it.
That's hard to deal with. Pi Island is isolated overseas. After we signed an agreement to divide the borders, the people of our Ming Dynasty cannot enter Dajin at will. The people of your Dajin cannot enter Dajin at will, let alone the army. In this way, if the court wants to withdraw the military and civilians of Pi Island, they must first defeat Pi Island and then withdraw people. But now the court does not have a strong navy. Mao Wenlong has been operating in Pi Island for many years and has strong defenses on it. Therefore, it will take at least five years to wait for the court to establish a powerful navy to recover Pi Island. In this way, ten years can only be enough!"
When Amin heard Liu Hongxun say this, it was really true. It was reasonable and well-founded, with clear ideas and clear structure. He couldn't find a word to refute it at once. He immediately showed a bitter face and stood there on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Liu Hongxun laughed out loud. The theory just now was what the emperor told him when he returned to Beijing for the New Year before the New Year. He didn't expect it to be useful at this time. Fortunately, he faced Amin alone, otherwise this statement would have been broken long ago. Who made Amin distrust his two Han officials' deputys, who acted as if he was the dominant one. He took all his ideas, so naturally no one would help him.
Generally, Zhou Wenyuan rarely appears at the negotiation site. First, he thinks he is not good at speaking, and Zhu Yinglong sent him to do the intelligence work of Liu Hongxun, the chief negotiator. Therefore, whenever both sides fight verbally at the negotiation table, Zhou Wenyuan keeps talking because he is the deputy envoy, and no one thinks something is wrong. Although the intelligence agency of the Later Jin Dynasty already knows that the deputy envoy who does not speak is a little higher than Liu Hongxun, the chief negotiator, so when Zhou Wenyuan walked in from outside the door, the negotiators of both sides stopped talking. At this time, Zhou Wenyuan suddenly appeared in the negotiation hall, and something must have happened.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing everyone." Zhou Wenyuan glanced at his side and the officials of the Later Jin Dynasty with a cold look on his face and said, "I just received a notice from the court's 800-mile fast horse, and the emperor issued an order to suspend the negotiations!"
The envoy of the Later Jin negotiations, Amin's deputy Han Guan Gao Shijun asked in surprise: "What? Why did your emperor go back on his word?"
Amin and other Jin officials looked at Zhou Wenyuan in surprise and were waiting for his answer. Except for Liu Hongxun and Huang Jin, who knew the truth, the rest of the Ming court were also as surprised as the Jin people.
"It's not that I, Emperor Ming, went back on my word, but that you Huang Taiji Khan is not sincere and bullied too much!" Zhou Wenyuan said coldly to Amin and the Jin officials behind him.
"Nothing nonsense. If my Khan is not sincere, why should he propose peace talks first?" Hu Gongming, another deputy negotiating envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty, also a Han official, stood up and pointed at Zhou Wenyuan and asked loudly.
"I am only responsible for conveying the emperor's will, and I will not answer any other questions." Zhou Wenyuan still said with a cold face. Zhou Wenyuan, who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time and has developed a cold face that is thousands of miles away. He is nicknamed "King of Hell in Zhou" by people in the Shadow because he is in charge of the punishment in the Shadow.
"Here's someone." Liu Hongxun knew that it was time for him to appear below, so he shouted outside the hall.
In a moment, two rows of soldiers in full armor rushed into the negotiation hall, separating the negotiation parties.
"Since the emperor has issued an order to suspend the negotiations, I can only obey the emperor's order. Please leave as soon as possible." Liu Hongxun said in a helpless tone.
"Hmph!" Amin snorted coldly at Zhou Wenyuan and took the lead in walking out. Zhou Wenyuan turned a blind eye to him, which made Amin who walked out grit his teeth with hatred for Zhou Wenyuan's indifferent attitude towards him.
After all the officials of the Later Jin Dynasty left, Zhou Wenyuan let go of his cold face and could not control his faint joy and said to his colleagues in the hall: "I just received the battle report from General Xiong. Our army has captured Jinzhou and captured the defending general Ajige and captured more than 10,000 prisoners alive!"
As soon as these words came out, thunderous cheers burst out in the entire hall. Many officials who were holding on to their stomachs during the negotiations smiled happily. They understood the confusion and doubts just now.
Amin and others led the negotiation team of the Later Jin Dynasty to leave Ningyuan City dejectedly. At this moment, he already knew that Jinzhou had been taken back by the Ming army, and he couldn't describe the depressed feeling in his heart.
After Xiong Tingbi led his army into Jinzhou City, he issued a list to appease the people, and ordered the abolition of many of the original tyrants and miscellaneous taxes and repaired the destroyed city walls. He immediately gained the support of the people in Jinzhou City and soon won the hearts of the people. Since there were still many prisoners, Xiong Tingbi even ordered all the captured Later Jin prisoners to Ningyuan. These were authentic Jin people. If Huang Taiji led a large army to attack, it would always be a problem to put them in the city.
You Shilu and Man Gui made great achievements, especially the war horses. Although they killed many war horses, they finally got nearly a thousand excellent war horses, and the weapons and armor were even more difficult. Xiong Tingbi ordered the meritorious soldiers to remember their merits. The only one who was not remembered was Wu Sangui. He ordered the attack on Jinzhou without authorization, resulting in less than a thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry. He himself regretted and was willing to accept the treatment of military law and national law.
If it is considered military achievements, Wu Sangui will certainly not be the first person to win Jinzhou. Then the overall result will be calculated. He won the strong city defense of Jinzhou with less than 10,000 casualties. Such a result is undoubtedly even more impressive, but no one can estimate the consequences of winning Jinzhou? Xiong Tingbi didn't know how to deal with Wu Sangui, and his generals were collectively pleaded for Wu Sangui. He was really worried. He could only write this matter into a memorial and ask Zhu Yinglong's holy dictator. Wu Sangui also lifted the right to lead troops and returned to Ningyuan with the army captured by the Later Jin Dynasty.
