After several days of difficult negotiations, Daomen and Tianmen representatives conducted substantive consultations, drafted the final amendments to the "Fenglinzhou Weiyuan Country Peace Agreement," and agreed to formally sign it on the third day of March.
Whether Tianmen can accept the nine peace talks conditions proposed by Daomen mainly focuses on two fundamental issues, one is the punishment of the main war criminals and the royal family, and the other is the issue of the reception and reorganization of power and the army.
Zhang Qihan made some concessions, taking care of Tianmen's feelings, and divided the war criminals into two batches for processing. Those who persisted in their evil should be severely punished. If they can recognize right from wrong, repent, and do it out of sincerity, they will be punished severely.
If there are facts that are conducive to solving the problem of Fenglinzhou through peaceful means, the war crime charges will be cancelled, and leniency will be given. For example, Saio agreed to sign a peace agreement and gave up resistance, saving Fenglinzhou from the devastation of war and benefiting the people.
, that is, those who have meritorious service will be pardoned.
After the royal family relinquishes power, the title of emperor can also be retained. After all, the emperor is also an emperor, it is just an empty name and does not matter.
However, if the Daomen made concessions on the issues of war criminals and the royal family, then they would no longer make concessions on the issues of corresponding power and the army. Most of the power of the Zunbo faction must be transferred to Prime Minister Toyotomi, and all armies must accept Prime Minister Toyotomi.
Adaptation, and it should not be adapted in batches and regions, but centralized and unified adaptation.
Finally, Zhang Qihan said: "With the third day of March as the deadline, Tianmen must express its position before the third day of March whether it agrees to sign. If it exceeds the deadline, Daomen will regard it as rejection."
On the Taoist side, Zhang Qihan, the master of Fenglinzhou Taoist House, can make the decision with full authority on behalf of the Taoist sect without asking for instructions, while the Tianmen representative has to ask Saio who is far away in Ise Shrine in Mie County for instructions, so the Tianmen representative left Jincheng and returned to Ise.
Ask for instructions from Shijin Palace.
In fact, with the departure of Tianmen representatives, the Zunban forces have completely withdrawn from Jincheng by sea.
In order to prevent Tianmen from accusing Daomen of sabotaging the peace talks, Donghai Navy did not stop it.
On the third day of March, Saio of Ise Jingu Shrine refused to sign the final amendment to the "Hourinsu Weihara Peace Agreement", claiming that the nine extremely harsh peace talks conditions proposed by the Domen were proof of his lack of sincerity.
On the fourth day of March, Li Wugou, the real person in charge of the army, and Zhang Qihan, the real person in charge of the army, issued an offensive order: "Rejecting this agreement means that Tianmen and the forces behind it are determined to resist to the end. The peace negotiations they proposed are just to prevent the counter-insurgency army.
A delaying strategy to advance so that they can have some breathing room.”
After giving orders from the camp, the Taoist army and Toyotomi Prime Minister's army, which had been resting for several days, began a full-scale attack.
>
Jincheng has become an empty city, almost a bloodless city. Zhang Qihan, the great master, gave a speech in Jincheng, saying: "The conditions of the plan proposed by Daomen are very generous. Everyone in Fenglinzhou should be able to see clearly who is right and who is wrong.
Who is provoking war and destroying peace?"
On the other side, Li Wugou, the real person in charge of the army, arrived at Suzuka Mountain. After meeting with Suzuka Gozen, he held a meeting at Suzuka Mountain and decided to attack Kobe from three aspects: air, land and sea, without giving Kitai Ise a chance to breathe.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were also able to attend the meeting, but they were not good at commanding military affairs, so they only listened and did not express their opinions.
After the meeting, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu traveled to Suzuka Mountain together.
This should have been a good time for you and me to have sex, but with the war approaching, neither of them was in such a mood.
"Who is this Jai Wang?" The two of them walked along the mountain road to a pavilion halfway up the mountain. Qi Xuansu leaned against the beauty in the pavilion, with white mist surging in the wind behind him.
Zhang Yuelu did not sit down, but walked back and forth in the pavilion: "I have some knowledge, but there are many rumors. Before he became the King of Jai, he was conferred the title of Prince Xizi Nei of the Feigong Palace. She is the sister of the current Emperor Fenglinzhou.
It is said that she once personally led the army when she was young and had a high prestige in the army."
"How high is she? It is said that there was a mutiny, and she went there alone. All the soldiers who saw her bowed their heads, vying to be her guard. The people who knelt down were all black. The soldiers had tears in their eyes and shouted long live.
.When she started to march towards the city, countless soldiers with weapons raised high joined the long queue behind her from all directions. The team grew rapidly like a snowball. When she came to the city, there were already thousands of soldiers behind her.
. She took off her armor and walked away wearing only a single coat. Arrows rained down on her, but none of them fell within three feet of her body."
Qi Xuansu laughed dumbly and said: "I don't understand military affairs, but I don't think a general's prestige can be so high. It's more like a story made up by religious swindlers to enhance the mystery and sanctity of the leader. And I
This incident sounds very familiar. It seems to be the deeds of a certain Western emperor? Could it be based on the deeds of a Western emperor? I remember that the emperor unbuttoned his shirt before the battle, exposed his chest, and roared at the soldiers.
He opened fire, considering that Saio was for a woman, so he couldn't
It's easy to take off my clothes, so I can only wear single clothes instead."
"Or maybe His Highness Saio has immeasurable magical powers and can charm hundreds of people. It would be even easier to deflect the arrow rain from its original direction. I can do it too."
Zhang Yuelu asked with a hint of a test: "Since you don't understand military affairs, how can you be confident that this matter is false? After all, you also said that someone did do it, that Western emperor
.”
Qi Xuansu said: "I don't understand military affairs, but I understand a little bit about human nature. The reason why the Western emperor has such prestige is because this emperor once led his country to become the most powerful country in the Western Continent and brought great
The army has a strong sense of honor, and the soldiers all cherish their original glory. Compared with the current defeat, the huge contrast prompts them to find their own honor. So when the emperor returned, the soldiers spontaneously came to the emperor's side, and many
At that time, honor was more valuable than money. On the other hand, Saio's Horinzhou Weiyuan Kingdom, not to mention breaking away from the rule of Daomen, even Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office has not overthrown it, let alone leading Weiyuan Kingdom to become the most powerful in the entire East.
It’s a country, so why does it have such high prestige?”
Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "That's a good answer."
Qi Xuansu sighed: "In the past, I didn't take honor seriously, but after experiencing the war in Fenglinzhou, my mind changed. The army must respect honor, otherwise the army will fall."
"I once learned about some political systems in the West when I was in Shanggong. They have parliaments, elections, party divisions, and rotation of power. So they require the military to strictly abide by neutrality to prevent the military from taking real power or controlling the parliament."
"In this context, they require that the army must be like a weapon. It must not have its own thoughts, remove beliefs, and only act according to orders. Weapons naturally have no honor."
"After removing faith, thought, and honor, what is left in the army? They call it professionalism. So what is the difference between such a professional army and mercenaries? Taking war as a profession is nothing more than a national
They have become employers. Soldiers have become people who make a living with money, rather than people who defend their homeland. Isn’t it just making money with their lives? What is the difference between this and those Jianghu people who tie their heads to their belts?"
"Without a sense of honor and status, they are like thieves in the army. If you want to drive them to fight, you cannot use honor as a motivation, so you have to talk about money. If there is less money, no one will work hard, just like the joke says,
If you put down three blunderbuss, you will be worthy of the emperor's salary.
If you have money, you will be brave enough to run away when you hear the wind, you will be brave enough to run away when you hear the wind, and you will be brave enough to run away after hearing the news. And because the situation is precarious, you will inevitably enjoy yourself in time, so alcoholism and prostitution will follow one after another, and military discipline will be ruined.
Just imagine it."
"How can such an army have combat effectiveness?"
Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu approvingly: "You have seen clearly. We must try our best to avoid this situation. We must have faith and honor."
"Honor is always bound to the righteous heart, so before the Daomen decided to go to war, they spent a lot of effort to solve a problem, that is, why we are fighting, that is, the division has a reputation. After solving this problem, after the war, we
We must strongly emphasize an issue, we must leave a popular Fenglinzhou, only target the nobles, not civilians, try to reduce the killings, Tianmen wants peace talks, we know that we will satisfy them by delaying the war, it is all for this reason."
"The Western army is just the opposite. Because there is no need to talk about honor, it can be unscrupulous. There is no need to ask why they are fighting, and they don't have to care about their righteousness. They only need to pay money. But after losing their honor, their armies are no different from bandits.
, Bandits pass by like a comb, soldiers pass by like a grate."
"These are two completely different ways. Taoism advocates morality and equality internally, and prides itself on civilization externally. Naturally, it cannot follow the old path of Westerners."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "We're off topic. We were discussing King Jai. Why did it get involved with the army again?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "Actually, there is nothing to say. This King Jai is at least similar to Master Qingwei. He has the strength of an Immortal Immortal, and may even be a genuine Immortal Immortal. Even if the Taoist sect besieges King Jai, we cannot participate. We
Just keep playing the drums."
Qi Xuansu asked: "By the way, there are recent rumors that the National Master will leave the Qizhou base camp and visit Fenglinzhou in person. Is it true or false?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "It's true."
Qi Xuansu was startled: "The Imperial Master wants to take action personally?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "It may or may not take action. It mainly depends on how the three main gods respond. Although it is difficult for gods to leave the Kingdom of God due to the catastrophe, as long as they have enough divine power, they are not unable to descend to earth in person. Ten thousand moments is not enough.
Just one hundred thousand ticks. If one hundred thousand ticks is not enough, then one million ticks. There is a way after all. If the three main gods take action personally, there may be changes."
Qi Xuansu understood: "The imperial master is here to suppress the formation."
