"Let's stop arguing here. Let the war speak for itself."
Dorgon said: "The deal I want to make with you is - none of us should report to the official or reveal each other's whereabouts.
How about it? I can forgive you for the last time you reported to the official, and I will not hold a grudge to retaliate against you, but I hope the deal can be concluded.
This is also good for you, I think the person who is most afraid of General Yuan is you." Dorgon sneered, full of confidence.
"Although I am very afraid of General Yuan, I will never make this deal with you.
Do you know what it would mean if I made this deal with you?
It means that I allowed a Qing army to collect intelligence here at will, but failed to fulfill the responsibility of a Ming citizen.
I won’t make a deal with you. I don’t know how you escaped the general’s eyes and ears and came out again, but I will definitely report you to the officials.”
"Please do so. But if you report to the officers to arrest me, I will also tell the officers and soldiers that you are here."
Dorgon's face was frighteningly cold, and he walked into the room with his guards and slammed the door.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Hua Wuxie also wanted to follow the room to demonstrate.
I was afraid that he would become impulsive and the two of them would fight again, so I dragged him: "Don't go, that's it. You've been talking for so long, why don't you just drink? Let's have a cup of tea and then go back to the room."
"You..." Hua Wuxie was quite speechless at me. He flicked his sleeves and returned to his room.
After sitting down, I poured him a cup of tea and said to him in a good voice: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with making a deal."
But not only did he not appreciate it, he immediately said: "Don't say anything to me now, especially don't persuade me not to report to the government, because I don't want to be a traitor."
"It's funny. If you don't report to the official position, you must be a traitor?" I continued to persuade him, "Reporting to the official position may not necessarily help, and not reporting to the official position does not necessarily mean that you are a traitor..."
The reason why he is so anxious is because if he reports to the official, he will be finished, and so will I, with no one to rely on.
"What do you mean?" He stared at me seriously.
He is usually playful and smiling, but once he gets serious, he is very serious, like an old master.
"You can't even protect yourself. Besides, General Yuan...even my father doesn't believe you. The pattern of the Ming Dynasty is already like this, and I'm afraid you won't be able to change it if you want to."
