Chapter 395 Peace

The rule of the Ming Dynasty was that subordinates gave New Year gifts to their boss, and their boss replied with some gifts to show their concern. Now the commander gave us a gift, so what gift list should be appropriate. Ma Cheng issued a military order and did not return the gifts. All the generals were allowed to return the gifts.

Then I tasted it. Yuan Zhi also knew that there were officials who gave gifts to their subordinates in this world. The officers below followed suit and delivered rice, flour and mountain goods to each team and each post, making the New Year a little warm.

On New Year's Eve, the detective cavalry outside the mountain rolled and crawled into the official hall.

A group of personal soldiers stopped the scout cavalry, and the cavalry shouted through the crowd: "Master, we are back, Master, Li Haoyun and his brothers are back!"

Ma Cheng looked confused and was still wondering who Li Haoyun was. With a bang, Wang Zhenzun broke the bowl in his hand on the spot.

On the New Year's Eve of the third year of Chongzhen, Li Zhengming and Wu Guan led 36 riders to the mountains for half a month, and finally found a small path to return to Laiyuanlou Camp. The two of them were injured and nagging the mountain road.

It's too difficult to walk away. It's obviously close but it's been around for half a month, and the ghost is hitting the wall.

Ma Cheng was overjoyed and settled the thirty-six cavalry well. This was a great contributor, and he had to give him a bright future, especially Li Zhengming and Wu Guan. Li Zhengming released him to lead a battalion, while Wu Guan was promoted to the front.

The military generals and the other thirty-six cavalry were promoted. Facing the attack on the camp of the enemy cavalry, they did not panic, but instead put on armor on the spot to counterattack. This was done by wise and brave people, and these people survived.

.

For a moment, the mountains became festive, and the miracle of surviving hard battles greatly boosted the sluggish morale of the army.

In the first month of the year, the commander camp was in the military discussion.

Yuan Chonghuan replied to a secret letter, which was somewhat vague that he tried his best to mobilize the elite cavalry of each unit to obtain 20,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 infantry, which was the largest force he could gather, but he was not clear about it and did not mention the strategy of advancing.

Cheng felt it was unreliable. This governor Yuan liked to speak loudly and act arbitrary. It would be wrong for him to speak so vaguely. If he was really ready to fight back, he would have been boasting about the sky.

Yuan Chonghuan's attitude was suspicious. After analysis, the staff believed that most of the problems in the court were found.

This is not difficult to guess. Some people in the court want to negotiate peace, and the power of the peace talks is quite large, otherwise Yuan Chonghuan would not be so embarrassed. After two days of illness, British Duke Zhang Weixian sent someone to deliver a letter. As expected, that's true

This discussion of peace talk was proposed by Huang Taiji first, and someone immediately responded to it in the court. The person who made the most fun jump was Yang Sichang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who strongly advocated peace.

The war-oriented faction was a group of noble generals, led by Zhang Weixian and the military general Qi Jin, the general of Dongjiang.

From peace talks gradually evolved into a dispute between civil and military affairs, and the court was filled with saliva again. The nobles and military generals naturally could not scold the civil servants. After a few days of quarrel at the court meeting, they were at a disadvantage. Yang Sichang inherited the Donglin Gan Jiangshen's combat effectiveness.

Excellent genes, citing classics and talking about it, and talking about the dangers of Jianmin lies in comforting rather than suppressing. Now that the capital and Zhili have been destroyed, the people have been displaced and the soldiers who have been displaced will be killed or injured in vain. Since Jianmin Investitures seek peace, then

There is no need to fight again.

When Ma Cheng received a letter from Zhang Weixian, he felt as if he had eaten a dead fly, which was so disgusting.

I have fought bloody battles at Xifengkou, and even the basic troops have been disabled. I have worked hard to create a favorable situation for the decisive battle. Now I have to negotiate peace.

The next group of staff members were stunned. After a long time, Lu Xiangsheng said helplessly: "A gentleman, deceive him."

Ni Yuanlu sneered with a cold face: "Yang Sichang, what kind of gentleman is, a person who is greedy for life and fears death."

Ma Cheng was also a little confused. Did the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty discuss peace talks? There should be some. It seems that there was a Minister of War Chen Xinjia who was asked to be executed because of peace talks. Now that he is in this position, he can feel the undercurrent of the capital.

The surging thing in ancient times and the present is the most lacking in peace talks. Huang Taiji had just proposed peace talks, and someone in the court responded. The cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Justice would not express their opinions. This involved the face of the Ming Dynasty.

The face of the Ming Dynasty, the face of the emperor, and there was no precedent for peace talks for more than 240 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the dynasty that had foreign border troubles, the Han Dynasty had a siege of Baideng at the beginning of its founding, and then it had a long-term situation.

The policy of marriage marriage. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and his son also paid tribute to the Turks for many years. After more than 30 years of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the practice of sending annual tribute to Liao was established.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been very strong against the nomadic peoples in the north. After a hundred years of Hu Yuan rule, the Han people's character has become restrained and implicit, not as arrogant and unrestrained as the Han and Tang dynasties, nor as the Wei and Jin dynasties as the Han and Tang dynasties, nor as the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The period was so elegant and elegant, and the unyielding to surrender to foreign races has been engraved into the bones of the people. Therefore, even though there was a Tumu Fort change in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and Yingzong was captured, the Ming Dynasty did not have any wavering thoughts of surrender, and the confrontation became a subconscious mind.

The choice of land, "not being in harmony and not discussing peace" became an unwritten national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Later Jin launched an offensive against Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty did not have the idea of ​​discussing peace. Instead, the Later Jin took the initiative to propose a peace talk. Although the Later Jin Dynasty's peace talks would not be as humiliated as the Song and Liao, Song and Jin peace talks, Huang Taiji was still

He proposed to be willing to downgrade and his status was under the Ming emperor, but peace talks definitely meant to recognize the fact that the Later Jin occupied most of Liaodong.

Liaodong has been the residence of the Han people since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For the Ming Dynasty, the banned areas where ethnic minorities live can be lost, and the residence of the Han people must not be lost. Therefore, the areas such as Nuergandusi can be lost, and Liaodong must not be lost.

Once the Han people's residence is lost, it will be lost as the basis for a unified dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty was not much less ruling than the Qin Dynasty, and even the actual effective control area was larger than the Qin Dynasty. However, because the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could not be regarded as a unified dynasty, so the Northern Song Dynasty had always been against Yanyun Ten.

Even the six prefectures were obsessed with. Even the Emperor Huizong of Song, who was extremely unrighteous, wanted to seize the opportunity to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and kept it in history. Therefore, no matter how the Later Jin caused trouble in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty could not recognize the Later Jin.

The occupation of Liaodong.

When discussing peace, the Ming Dynasty lost all the internal affairs and face. The key is to rely on the emperor and the attitude of the cabinet.

The Donglin Party will naturally not take the blame. Today, it is a person who is eager to save face. Therefore, Ma Cheng can be sure that peace talks cannot be accomplished. After this analysis, the staff agreed, and peace talks are probably impossible.

The cabinet was unwilling to take the blame, and the emperor could not hold on. Only Yang Sichang and others jumped up and down, and this matter could not be accomplished. Huang Taiji also knew that this was probably a delaying plan.

Macheng was gloomy, Lu Xiangsheng was silent, Ni Yuanlu slapped the table and cursed: "I used to be domineering, but now I am here to seek peace again. Could it be a delayed strategy to wait for Chu to save me?"
