Everyone was also surprised by this idea. They had no plan in this regard before. Although they planned to send envoys to negotiate peace last time, they shelved it in the end. They only asked Li Yan to bring 30,000 troops to monitor Jiannu.
Li Yan didn't move back until the other party left.
"I didn't say I would send an envoy last time, but in the end I didn't send anyone. I think it's better to send troops this time to scare them and let them know that I, Dashun, am not a soft persimmon!"
As soon as a radical minister spoke, some people immediately agreed and shouted that they must completely subdue the slaves.
But Li Zicheng knew in his heart that they couldn't defeat Jiannu with their strength. The tens of thousands of casualties last time can prove it, but these ministers below are still clamoring for a fierce battle with Jiannu. It seems that they are not the ones to go up.
There is no compassion for the soldiers on the battlefield.
But now, they have no idea what Jian Nu is thinking. If he sends an envoy, it will only make the people and the Ming court think that Li Zicheng is a coward! They think that he is just a strong man on the outside! Although he agreed with Niu Jinxing a few days ago,
He suggested that the slaves make peace, but he tossed and turned at night and ultimately did not do it.
But now I have fallen into such a problem again, and I don't know what to do.
"I think it is better to send an envoy to explore the reality of Jiannu first, and find out what their intentions are. If you really want to unify the Han people, I suggest that you temporarily negotiate peace with the Ming court and directly raise troops to drive Jiannu away first.
Let’s talk after you come out!” Song Qijiao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said sternly.
As the official secretary of Dashun, I still have some confidence.
"What do the other loved ones think?" Li Zicheng asked the others for their opinions.
Everyone also thought that Song Qijiao's idea was acceptable, so they all agreed. After all, you wouldn't lose anything by asking around first, but it would be great if you could find out something.
In this way, Li Zicheng accepted everyone's opinions and sent a civil servant to inquire about the situation.
…
"Report! There is someone outside the big tent asking to see you, saying he is Dashun's envoy."
Suddenly, an Eight Banners warrior came into the big tent, knelt down and said loudly.
These words really surprised everyone present. First, Dorgon stopped the wine that had not been brought to his mouth, and others such as Fan Wencheng, Duduo, Azig and others were also a little confused. They had just returned.
They were joking loudly and bragging about how soon they could occupy the entire Central Plains.
But suddenly I learned that there was someone from the Central Plains outside who wanted to see him, and he was actually a messenger from Dashun.
"Pity!"
Dorgon drank the strong wine in his hand and said immediately: "I finally entered the Central Plains again, but I failed to meet the Ming envoy. Otherwise, I really want him to pay tribute to me on my behalf."
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty says hello."
"By the way, Emperor Dashun is also vulnerable. With 50,000 people beating me with 30,000 troops, he still lost in the end. What a clown!" Duduo on the side did not restrain himself and laughed at Li Zicheng.
When Azig saw this, he couldn't help but said: "When I was young, my Amma told me how powerful the Han people are, but now it seems that they are nothing more than that. Whoever becomes the emperor still can't defeat us. Think about this
The world must be full of us!"
Hearing the boastful talk of these Manchu princes, Fan Wencheng, who was standing on the other side, could not help but curl up his lips, showing his disdain for these people. But that was all he could do, and he did not dare to do anything else.
.After all, he never thought before that as a hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his wife would be snatched away by Duduo in broad daylight and humiliated.
The status of the Han people among the Manchus is almost the same, and the status is unequal. Even a man with such great achievements as Fan Wencheng could not escape the fate of being humiliated by other Manchu princes.
"The regent should summon this envoy as soon as possible. Our Qing Dynasty is also a civilized country now, and we must not destroy our prestige because of such trivial matters."
Really not wanting to hear Duduo and the others laughing here, Fan Wencheng immediately stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing this, Dorgon immediately put away his ridicule and said: "Let the Dashun envoy come in."
"twitter!"
After a while, the envoy, still wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, slowly entered the big tent. This man had beautiful features, and although his eyes were clear, they were a little greener than they should have been. Obviously, he had not been an official for a long time.
Not much. Maybe he came here to make Jian Nu look down on him, so he sent a new official.
Seeing this man's pretty face, the rebellious Duduo ignored the fact that this man was the messenger of Dashun, and immediately joked: "Are you the messenger of Dashun?"
"Exactly, my name is Guan Liangji, and the king sent me here..."
Before Guan Liangji could finish speaking, Duduo interrupted him and said directly: "Are all you Han people like this? None of you are manly, and most of them look like this. If you come to our army
I'm afraid my butt will be gone! Hahahahaha."
】【‘’】
After a while of ridicule, he immediately burst into laughter. Such laughter also made the other ministers present laugh non-stop.
Seeing that these Manchus were so arrogant, the somewhat immature Dashun envoy couldn't help but blush slightly, with a slightly angry expression, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone, Dashun sent me as an envoy this time for the sake of both of us.
If you are so unwilling to be on good terms with us, how can you bring about benefits?"
Seeing that the envoy was a little angry, Dorgon also waved his hand to calm everyone down. He leaned forward again and said: "Your name is Guan Liangji, right? It's a good name. Our Qing Dynasty has been outside the Guan for hundreds of years.
It’s my first time to come to this land of the Han people, so it’s naturally a bit strange, so I hope the envoy won’t be offended.”
"Of course not." Hearing this, Guan Liangji calmed down a little and continued: "I know that you are also Manchu warriors, so you must speak straightforwardly. In this case, I will tell you. On behalf of the great majority
Emperor Shun sends his greetings to everyone, and secondly, I also want to say that we in Dashun come with the attitude of being on good terms with the Qing Dynasty, which is conducive to our ever-lasting friendship."
Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Dorgon's lips, and then he smiled disdainfully at the ministers on both sides and said to them: "The last time we fought, your 50,000 troops couldn't defeat our 30,000 troops. Now. Now
But you want to negotiate peace with us, do you think your Dashun will definitely lose?"
Hearing this, Guan Liangji was very indifferent, and then said: "You seem to be a little too confident. Last time we were defeated because of insufficient preparations, not because we are incompetent. And we have hundreds of thousands of troops in Dashun.
, I heard that the total number of troops in the Qing Dynasty was only 200,000. From this point of view, even in a war of attrition, we will win."
This remark immediately aroused a burst of anger from the officials of the Qing Dynasty. Duduo immediately said: "Huangmao boy, do you really think you know how to fight? Do you think fighting is like what you said? It would be better to do this. Each of us will contribute 10,000 yuan."
Men and horses, let’s see who is more powerful! You, Dashun, are just like the Ming Dynasty, you are a bunch of rubbish!”
"Hahaha!"
The surrounding Manchu and Qing ministers also laughed and expressed their disdain for Guan Liangji.
"I came here to make friends with the Qing Dynasty, not to fight!" Guan Liangji was extremely angry, but he thought that the purpose of coming here was to negotiate peace, so he had to suppress his anger.
"Go back and tell your Emperor Dashun that our Qing Dynasty wants the world! It's not just the money you think of!"
