Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight peace talks

The dismissed Jinyiwei actually joined the Hu Ben Army in an extraordinary manner, which made Luo Yangxing envious. However, the dismissed Jinyiwei were all very happy. It seems that he was following the prince at the time.

The attack cannot be too wide, which is Zhu Cixuan's view on this case. The biggest purpose is to overthrow Tian Hongyu and Liu Zeqing, which has brought the military power in Shandong to the court.

Manchu, Shengjing.

Even though the Qing Dynasty issued a large number of detailed works in the Ming Dynasty, the information transmission here was still quite slow. The news that the prince was deposed had just been passed.

Huang Taiji, who was originally sick, heard that the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty was deposed and immediately sat up in shock when he was dying.

"What, the little prince of Ming Dynasty was deposed?"

The news was Prince Rui Dorgon. Dorgon immediately said, "Yes, the emperor, judging from the news obtained from all sources, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have been snatched by his woman by the left governor Tian Hongyu because of his wife. The crown prince was furious and took people to Tian Mansion to kill Tian Hongyu."

Huang Taiji was surprised and happy: "And what..."

"Then, the crown prince attacked him. It seemed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had an imperial edict to depose him as a commoner and locked him up in Zhongcui Palace."

"God helps me!" Huang Taiji said and coughed a few times: "This kid was ruined, and finally got anger out of my heart. I didn't expect that you, Zhu Cilang, have today."

Huang Taiji hated Zhu Cilang to the core. Not to mention anything else, he was just defeated by him repeatedly. In addition, he was repeatedly ruined by Zhu Cilang.

Originally, every time the Qing Dynasty attacked the Central Plains, it was at their disposal, and Zhu Cilang turned it into victory.

Zhu Cilang was regarded as the biggest enemy by Huang Taiji. This kid was only a prince at a young age. If he ascended the throne in the future, such a person would inevitably be a disaster for the Qing Dynasty.

But looking at the Qing Dynasty, there is no such talent. Even Huang Taiji himself feels inferior to himself.

Huang Taiji coughed lightly: "Dorgon, pass on my order and summon all officials to discuss matters."

I have to admire that Huang Taiji is a person who can take on it and let it go. He knew that the Qing Dynasty's current national strength was weak and no longer as powerful as before. So he summoned all officials to seek peace.

This time, the Eight Banners Banners, Prince Beile, and all the officials in the court were summoned to the palace hall. Huang Taiji was still sick, and the Shaanxi delegation made his condition worse.

"My dear friends, the destiny of heaven is impermanent and the way of heaven is very small. Now our Qing Dynasty's national strength is weak, and the Ming Dynasty takes advantage of the situation. Many Ming merchants who do business with us are also punished by the Ming court. Now it is difficult for our Qing Dynasty. I often think that this is a sign from God, indicating that we should have a peace talk with the Ming people."

Huang Taiji basically inherited the idea of ​​destiny of his father Nurhaci, believing that the power of heaven is infinite, that he can establish a king and prosper the country. He once said: "All countries in the world are all those who are ordered by heaven to establish it." He also said: "To promote it, promote it, and determine it all depends on the heaven, and it is not strong enough for human power."

In Huang Taiji's view, the destiny of heaven is impermanent, and the way of heaven is very small. It is unknown whether the destiny of heaven will belong to the Qing Dynasty. However, the monarch is not completely powerless in front of heaven. The will of heaven can be changed through the behavior of the monarch. He absorbed the "virtue politics" idea in Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty and proposed the progressive view of heaven's destiny of heaven. He said to the ministers of the Wenguan: "When the historians call him the king, no matter whether he has the way or not, he is generally called the emperor. However, he does not know that the emperor has no relatives, but only virtue is the auxiliary, and those who have virtue must have virtue will be called the deputy emperor. Now that I have the blessing of heaven and become the lord of the country, how dare I think it is the emperor and be loved by heaven? If I do not do good deeds and do not embody the heart of heaven, then the destiny of heaven will be unrestrained and I would rather rely on it. I can only be vigilant in the morning and night to invite the heaven to learn from it."

This also shows that Huang Taiji is a person who advocates Han culture. Huang Taiji's ultimate strategic goal is the Ming Dynasty, and the strategy of attacking Ming Dynasty is the principled and programmatic task that guides the overall situation of the war.

However, Huang Taiji also has another advantage, that is, he can bend and stretch. When the country's strength is weak, Huang Taiji adopted the strategy of temporarily discussing peace with the Ming Dynasty to gain time. However, the ministers all knew that entering the pass to seize the Ming regime was Huang Taiji's long-cherished wish; that is, "The emperor is determined to be in the Central Plains."

Huang Taiji proposed a peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, but all the officials did not object. Instead, they all expressed their support.

Because everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is no longer able to do it now. It is no longer able to organize troops to move south, one is rising and the other is declining, and the comprehensive national strength, especially military capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, is constantly strengthening.

The battle in Shaanxi made many Eight Banners frightened. The first time they encountered such a terrifying combat power of the Ming Dynasty, this also made morale unsatisfied.

After Huang Taiji proposed peace talks, all officials and royal relatives expressed their agreement. However, there is no suitable candidate for whom to be sent to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Zheng Jiergalang stood up and said, "Emperor, I recommend Fan Zhangjing as an envoy to the Ming Kingdom."

Fan Wencheng, the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty. As the Han minister whom Huang Taiji valued the most, he participated in the decision-making of any strategy of attacking the Ming Dynasty, instigating Ming officials, attacking Korea, pacifying Mongolia, and building the state system.

After Jirgalang said this, Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Fan Zhangjing, what do you think?"

Fan Wencheng stood up and said, "Emperor, now the country is strong. As an envoy, I am afraid that I will inevitably be insulted when I go there."

Fan Wencheng still knew how much he was, and he was highly valued in the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, as a Han minister, he would inevitably be despised and insulted all the way.

It seemed a bit unreasonable that the Qing Dynasty asked a Han minister to come to negotiate.

Huang Taiji thought for a while and nodded: "Well, I also think Fan Zhangjing is not suitable for this trip. My dear friends, who would you like to go to Ming Kingdom?"

The ministers below stole theft, and no one was willing to stand up. The Ming Dynasty was different from other dynasties. It was a dynasty with iron and strong dynasties. It did not submit to the people, did not pay tribute, did not engage in friendship, did not cede land, and did not pay compensation. The emperor guarded the country's borders and the king died.

The Ming and Qing dynasties have been enemies for generations. At this time, they rashly went to negotiate, and the other party would definitely not be able to give a good face. Therefore, no one in the court was willing to stand up.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but be furious: "I, the Qing warriors, have no one willing to stand up and share my worries?"

After saying that, a person stood up in the crowd: "Emperor Ahma, I am willing to go to the peace talks."

This person is Huang Taiji's eldest son, Aisin Gioro Haoge.

Zhu Cilang was the eldest son of Emperor Chongzhen, and Haoge was the eldest son of Huang Taiji. Both of them represented the identity of their respective countries. If Haoge went, the Ming people would definitely not humiliate an eldest son.
