Amidst the heavy snowfall, the fifth year of Shaotian finally came.
Tokyo is covered in silver, decorated with red Spring Festival couplets and lanterns, adding a lot of joy. This year's situation is particularly good. Beijing has been recovered. This is a reassurance for the entire world. No need to
Worried about the Tartars.
The Tatars fled north in panic, and no longer even dared to approach the Great Wall.
Chifeng is six hundred miles away from the Gubeikou of the Great Wall.
The emperor, who was in his early thirties, accepted congratulations and tributes from hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries in the Fengtian Hall of Penglai Palace in Tokyo. The scene was even more lively than last year.
The small Penglai Palace Square was crowded with people and seemed a bit too small.
On this day, envoys from all parties witnessed the canonization of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince Linxuan, and then visited the military parade ceremony together at the palace gate, feeling what it means to be majestic in a great country.
Among these envoys, one group of people stood out. They were the representatives of the Qing Dynasty envoy from Chifeng. They came to seek peace. Faced with the unstoppable power of the Ming Dynasty, even though they retreated six hundred miles north of the Great Wall, they still
Terrified, he sent envoys to seek peace again.
Representatives from all parties presented tributes.
Representatives of the Manchu Tatars were at the end of the list, and representatives from the Yarkands of the Western Regions, the Toungoo Dynasty of Myanmar in the southwest, and even the indigenous countries of Southeast Asia and European colonists came.
Many tribes from the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia, the four tribes of Mobei Mongolia, and even Mongolia from southern Mongolia began to pay tribute, and the Tatars could no longer restrain them.
"Nine white camels, nine white horses, nine green oxen, and nine blue oxen..."
The green ox, the white horse, the white camel, the sea and the east green all represent the Tatars bowing their heads.
They took the initiative to remove the imperial title from the Ming Dynasty in their credentials and demoted it to a vassal state. In the credentials given to the Ming Dynasty by Jierharang on behalf of Emperor Shunzhi, he stated that they were willing to remove the title of the Qing Dynasty and rename it the Kingdom of Manchuria. Shunzhi would be renamed Manchuria.
king.
Manchukuo is willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and be reduced to a vassal state.
Manchuria hopes that the Ming Dynasty, the sovereign, can forgive Manchuria and requests that the Great Wall be used as a boundary and the land outside the Great Wall be given to Manchuria to live in peace.
As long as the leader of the Ming Dynasty allowed it, they were willing to pay tribute every year and respect the Ming Dynasty as Zhengshuo. They would pay tribute every year a thousand mink skins, a thousand catties of ginseng, and ten thousand taels of silver.
Manchuria also hoped that the Ming army would withdraw its troops and horses outside the pass and at the same time open up border markets for trade.
In order to show sincerity, Manchuria even took the initiative to send Shunzhi's fourth brother Ye Bushu to the Ming Dynasty to serve the emperor, and brought the three Shunzhi sisters together, Princess Gulun Shuhui, Princess Gulun Shuzhe, and Princess Gulun Yong'an.
Send it to Ming Dynasty to enrich the emperor's harem.
These three are the fifth daughter, seventh daughter and eighth daughter of Huang Taiji. They are respectively born to Empress Xiaozhuang and Empress Xiaoduan. The eldest is sixteen and the youngest is fourteen. They were originally engaged early and were promised to the Mongolian prince.
Yes, because of the delay in the war, now we simply sent him to the Ming Dynasty for marriage.
Manchuria sent mink furs, ginseng, white camels, white horses, green oxen, and Haidongqing. They also sent three eldest princesses to marry. I only hope that Ming Dynasty can let them go, especially if they can open up one side and let Prince Jing Nikan take Ba
Siha, Meng Qiaofang and others led Hubei soldiers and horses back to the outside of the pass.
At the end of Chongzhen, the Ming and Qing Dynasties secretly negotiated peace. The conditions offered by Huang Taiji at that time were that the Ming and Qing alliances vowed to become brotherly nations. The Ming Dynasty would pay an annual tribute of one million taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold to the Qing Dynasty in exchange for one thousand kilograms of ginseng from the Qing Dynasty.
and a thousand mink skins. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the border between Ningyuan and Tashan was regarded as non-aggression and mutual repatriation of fugitives.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and his cabinet ministers went to Liaodong to form an alliance with Huang Taiji.
These conditions are actually a replica of the alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens. However, when the Jurchens came to Kaifeng City, the conditions they proposed were even more stringent, requiring tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold.
Huang Taiji's conditions were more similar to the Tan Yuan Alliance of Song and Liao Dynasties. Chongzhen also wanted to buy time, but in the end he was unwilling to give up his reputation and face. In the end, the peace negotiation failed, and he instead beheaded Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War.
On the Tatar side, Shunzhi still has no pro-government and is just a puppet. The military and political power is all in the hands of the regent uncle Jierhalang. The Tatars have lost countless soldiers and generals in the past few years. Now they have no ability to attack the Ming Dynasty anymore, and they have no right to bargain.
So I had no choice but to give in and beg for mercy, and even offered some conditions that I thought were good.
Zhu Yihai looked at the certificate of credence and the tribute slip and just smiled.
"hehe!"
The emperor's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the crowded hall. Especially when Feng Quan, the Qing envoy, heard it, he felt like a loud bell or a drum.
Feng Quan is the representative of this mission. He was a bachelor of Dongge University and Minister of Etiquette of the Tianqi Dynasty. He was the famous eunuch of Wei Zhongxian. The Three Dynasties Essential Code to combat Donglin Party members was revised by him as the chief executive. He was Wei Zhongxian's
One of the important confidants.
Later, when the eunuchs were in internal strife and the Tatars crossed the Great Wall and entered the customs, Feng Quan surrendered to the Tatars in his hometown and was reused by the Tatars. He was admitted to the Inner Academy with the original title of bachelor of science and engineering. Now he is a bachelor of the Tatar Internal Hanlin Hongwen Academy.
The Minister of Rites and the Ambassador of the Southern Mission came to Tokyo to negotiate peace.
As a well-known eunuch, Feng Quan did quite well after entering the Qing Dynasty. He even became the leader of the northern and southern parties among the Han surrender officials in the Qing court for a time, and was deeply trusted by Dorgon.
Nowadays, when the Qing and Han officials have surrendered one after another, he can still serve as the Qing ambassador to negotiate peace, which shows that he is still deeply appreciated and trusted by the Tatars.
In fact, Feng Quan was very reluctant to come. He was afraid that he would never come back, but Jierhalang asked him to come, so he had to come. He had no choice but to not go back after coming, because the Jiajuan clan members were still detained in Chifeng.
.
"Did Jierhalang send you here to ask you to forward these demands? Is Jierhalang also Laohutu? Dare you ask me for these demands?"
Feng Quan shivered in fright, and without caring about the Northern Ambassador's face, he knelt down on the ground, raised his buttocks high, and replied in fear, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Feng Quan, you are only in your fifties this year. It is said that you are quite talented. Back then, when you were only nineteen years old, you became a Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy as an official. Your father was also in the imperial court. It is a glorious thing for father and son to be in the same imperial court. But
Later, you attached yourself to the Eunuch Party and engaged in business speculation. At the age of thirty, you became a bachelor in the cabinet and became known as the black-headed gentleman.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You have the ability, but you are not using it in the right place.
You and your son are both weaklings. When your father Feng Shengming was in charge of Liaoshen, he left his post without permission when Hou Jin invaded due to fear of the enemy. After Dorgon entered the customs and received a surrender letter, you rushed there immediately.
I heard that at the beginning of entering the Pass, Dorgon asked various places to identify and support the posthumous sons of the kings of the Ming Dynasty. You kowtowed and thanked him. Dorgon said that you would not forget your old master, but you said that you could be loyal to the two monarchs wholeheartedly. However,
You can't have two hearts for a monarch, so you can say that you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty?"
"How can you still have the face to return to the Central Plains to face your old master now?"
Feng Quan also did not expect that the words that the Tatars used to express their loyalty to the emperor would now be spoken in this golden palace by Emperor Shaotian of the Ming Dynasty.
He was so frightened that he had no choice but to kowtow desperately, until his head bled.
"Today, on my special day, you made me splash with blood on the Golden Palace. Is this a deliberate attempt to bring bad luck and disgust me?"
Feng Quan was so frightened that he did not dare to kowtow, so he could only lie there in uniform and apologize.
"Since you are going to spill blood, then splash more, use your blood to wash away your guilt, drag out these rebellious officials and behead them at the Meridian Gate,
Yebushu was also killed, and all members of the Tatar mission were exiled to Taiwan to reclaim wasteland.
The heads of Feng Quan and Ye Bushu were passed down nine sides and hung on the Shanhaiguan City.
"I am telling everyone in the world clearly today that the heinous crime committed by the Tatars against the Ming Dynasty and against China cannot be dissolved so easily. I have made an oath long ago that I will destroy their lairs, exterminate their species, and plow their gardens.
, sweep away the villages and place them in the counties and counties."
Zhu Yihai said these murderous words in public, which really shocked everyone.
The emperor stood up and waved his hands disdainfully, ignoring Feng Quan's cry for mercy.
The guards came forward and dragged him away. The bachelor actually left a line of urine marks.
After a while, the guard brought up a tray, with the head of Feng Quan on it. This black-headed gentleman, who was only about fifty years old, still had black hair, but his head had been separated from his body, and his eyes were still there when he died.
His face was wide open and full of fear.
"Today I also declare here that there is no Manchuria in the world, but the Jianzhen Tartars want to kidnap other Jurchens and hold them captive. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the various Jurchen tribes in Liaodong have not been under their control. Later, Nurhachi rose up to attack other tribes, enslave and oppress other tribes.
Jurchen, this is an unjust and shameless act.
From today onwards, I declare that the Ming Dynasty will only target the Jianzhou Jurchens to clear out their species. It will not implicate the Haixi Jurchens, Barbarian Jurchens and other tribes, let alone the Mongolian tribes in Monan, as well as the Han people in Liaodong.
The Jurchens, Mongols, Liao people, etc. who were coerced, enslaved, and oppressed in the past can be forgiven as long as they turn from darkness to light."
The emperor's words shocked everyone in the palace.
The emperor's murderous intention was too strong after plowing the hole and removing it, but picking it out for Monan Mongolia and other Jurchen tribes gave those people hope.
Otherwise, the emperor insists on attacking Monan Mongolia, various Jurchen tribes, even the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Han people in Liaodong. In order to survive, they can only resist. But now, they have to face a choice, which is to become extinct along with the Jianlu
To perish, or to switch to the Ming Dynasty and continue to survive.
Survival or destruction?
This seems like a good choice question.
It is said that the two countries did not kill each other even if they were at war. This time the Tatars sent another thousand kilograms of ginseng, a thousand mink skins and ten thousand taels of silver. These are quite sincere to the Tatars.
But the Emperor of Heaven actually pushed the Northern envoy out and beheaded him in the Golden Palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and also exiled the entire envoy.
This domineering approach is indeed very powerful.
There is no room left for the Tatars to negotiate peace.
All that awaits them is destruction, the destruction of their country and their species.
No matter where they fled, the emperor had promised that they would be hunted to the ends of the earth until they were completely exterminated. Jianzhou Jurchens would be wiped out from this world without leaving any trace.
