Beiyang new warlord

The implication is that the land is cede, but the old man is against it in name, and it has nothing to do with the old man who will leave a stain on the history in the future!

At the end of the turn, a large group of Donglin scholars also kowtowed softly and weakly.

"I object to this!"

Ma Shiying's talent is not the face of the times, but he wins because of a decisive decision. Shi Kefa is still hesitating there. He has already contacted the mighty army and directed the sword to Beijing. He didn't even care about it, and he clasped his fists without hesitation.

"Right and wrong, someone Ma will bear it!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down to Emperor Hongguang, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to accept the regent's peace agreement, and I implore Your Majesty for your permission!"

He didn't want to fight at all, Zhu Yousong's fat head immediately nodded like a dustpan, and hurriedly agreed.

"Accurate! Accurate!"

........

This tumultuous southward battle has ended temporarily with such a result!Originally, Gao Hongtu, Wang Qia and others wanted to be reserved and bargained, but Zhu Yousong was really scared of being beaten, and no one could persuade him. The messenger crossed the river overnight to express his peace to Mao Jue.

But the next day, it wasn't the ten Dongjiang warships that came. The entire river was filled with the sea of ​​warships. There are more than 70 meters of first-class battleships, more than 80 second-tier battleships of four to fifty meters, and not all third-tier battleships, but there are also hundreds of them. At this time, Dongjiang's sea power is comparable to that of the Dutch coachman in its heyday. It is inferior to Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets. This huge sea power frightened Yingtian's Nanming officials into stupidity.

Even Shi Kefa, seeing so many warships for the first time, was full of disbelief and muttered to himself in horror.

"You won't go back on your word, will you?"

What frightened the officials on the shore was that when the fleet was approaching the river bank, it suddenly lined up again. Minister Nanming was so frightened that his legs went limp and he sat on the ground. He urinated a lot, and even an old man's heart tightened and he convulsed.

A large group of people ran back dozens of steps before they were ordered to stop. It turned out that it was just a salute and a salute.

After the turmoil, at any rate these warships did not actually dock, and anchored in the center of the river. Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so smaller third-tier battleships, under the banner of Ming Dynasty, approached Yingtian mightily. come over.

But to be honest, the people sent by Mao Jue were a little bit helpless. Under the followers of a group of 1.9-meter-1.4-meter northern men, the [-]-meter-long Song Xiance was wearing his custom-made official robes and a huge black gauze hat. The boy walked out of the boat with square steps like that.

The contrast was a bit too great, so that the main character and Shi Kefarma Shiying who watched were a little dazed.

"This official is Song Xiance, Minister of Rites under Emperor Kaiming's command! He came here with the decree of the regent, where are you and the false emperor? Why didn't you come to greet him?"

Hearing his cries, a group of Nanming officials came to their senses. Shi Kefa quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "My Majesty has already prepared a banquet in the palace, and please move your envoy into the palace!"

"No need! My northern scholars are not as greedy and hedonistic as your southern rotten scholars, and they are too busy! Besides, the regent is waiting in the fleet, and I can't afford to delay! You have also seen the conditions brought back by the regent Lord Tuoshi. Whether it’s okay or not, it’s war or peace, let’s make a decision on this river bank!”

Mao Jue was actually in the middle of the river. Hearing these officials of the Hongguang Dynasty couldn't help but feel their hearts thump. Even those with ulterior motives, their eyes were still slightly warmed up, but when they glanced at the fleet looking around again, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads. So what if Mao Jue is in front of him, who can break through the layers of encirclement of the fleet and get in front of him.

This makes him short, but it is really called vigorous and resolute. A group of Nanming ministers were worried. Song Xiance had already ordered the table to be moved down, and a long brocade and silk Guoshu was unfolded.

It's just that Shi Kefa's old face became bitter once again when he saw the letter of credence, and he clasped his fists heavily at Song Xiance: "My lord, I am very happy with the regent's peace, after all The war between the two countries caused the people to be displaced, and your country's soldiers were also greatly damaged. Your Majesty couldn't bear it, but the silver taels your country asked for was too huge, and our court couldn't afford it at all. Please also ask your envoy to report to the regent for a leniency. !"

"You don't need to tell the regent. When I come, the regent has already given me full power! Mr. Shi said that he can't afford the 1000 million taels, so how much can he give?"

"100 taels!"

Kong Youde, the military attache behind Song Xiance, almost spit out the number when he heard it: "One million taels, where are you going to send the beggars?"

He was so angry that he was about to roar, but Song Xiance gestured at him with the luxurious wat board, making him choke back.

"One million taels is fine!"

"Is this true?"

But before Shi Kefa was overjoyed, Song Xiance's next words hit him like a big stone, and he stared at him: "But when I came here, the regent also explained that it is orthodox for a prince to ascend the throne. There are no two monarchs in the country! King Fu is not in harmony with the rule of law, he should abdicate immediately! Tell the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy back then was to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king!Just a name can be exchanged for 900 million taels, which is simply too cost-effective, but unfortunately, in front of these prepaid scholar-bureaucrats, Gao Hongtu was the first to jump out red-faced.

"No way!"

"My Majesty is the descendant of Emperor Wanli. His blood is pure and he is supported by the six tribes of Nanjing. It is in line with the law of nature. How can he bow his head to that wild boy in the capital who doesn't know where he came from!"

"Lord Gao! Be careful! Be careful!"

He was so familiar, but he frightened the few ministers behind him softly, and hurriedly pulled him aside. Qian Qianyi, who seemed to understand something, also clasped his fists helplessly by the side.

"Your envoy, after all, my Majesty has already ascended the throne, and this abdication is really difficult for everyone!"

Song Xiance was not angry, and asked slowly, "Everyone, is this 1000 million taels of compensation?"

Shi Kefa still wanted to bargain, he was afraid of long nights and dreams, if Mao Jue under the cannon really insisted on Hong Guang's abdication, these powerless civil servants really had nothing to do, and the academician Cai Yichen rushed to nod to agree.

"1000 million taels of silver will be sent to Jiangbei at the end of the month!"

"it is good!"

Taking out the official seal of the Ministry of Households seized by the Zhijing Division, Song Xiance stepped on a stool and slammed it on. Without saying a word, full of helplessness, Shi Kefa also stamped the official seal of the Ministry of Householding in Nanjing.

"This is 400 million two-year-old coins, 100 million silk, and 200 million grains per year. What do you guys think?"

On the one hand, Song Xiance glanced at the city with deep meaning in his eyes. To be honest, this figure can catch up with the total annual tax revenue of Hongguang Dynasty. Now that the Lianghuai area with a population of 3000 million has been lost, this figure is still declining. Unable to beat anyone, and the condition is still stuck on the trump card of abdication, Ma Shiying can only grit his teeth heavily.

"I promise!"

Kacha, two big seals were stamped on it again!

"This cut off Shanghai County, Hangzhou City and other places?"

"I promise!"

Kacha~

"I am tax-free for trade and commerce, and your tax is [-]%?"

"I promise!"

Kacha~

The next few items, as well as garrison, judicial and other related details, are basically what Song Xiance said, and that Ma Shiying was stamped. On a densely packed piece of paper, there are more than 30 conditions listed one after another, except for the one about land cession. Apart from some difficulties, the rest is economic. For the Donglin princes who only listen to the words of the sages and don't pay attention to the bad things, it is simply not a problem. After the last discussion, looking at the two The seal of the country, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Riguang and others were actually flushed, as if they had won a big victory.

Once again declined the Nanming ministers' invitation to a banquet in the palace, Song Xiance readily turned around with the contract, and Mao Jue really kept his word. In the fear of the Nanming ministers, the dreaded huge fleet was Turning around and leaving, everyone was sincerely relieved, but no one noticed Mao Jue standing at the stern with the same relaxed and comfortable smile on his face.

"Idiots, see you in a few years!"

Chapter 627. Going the other way

The setting sun is slanting against the heart of the river. Looking south from the boat, the whole land of clear trees and weeping willows is dyed blood red, which is so beautiful that it is too beautiful to behold. It is a pity that within a few years, Liao Town will have no chance with this land Yes, while looking around, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming muttered unsatisfied.

"General, why bother to make peace with this sour man? Just give the last general [-] soldiers and horses, and it will be enough to pierce the defense line of these idiots!"

"Are you afraid that you won't get any meritorious service?"

With a laugh, Mao Jue lazily lay on the recliner, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the world is so big, and it's not just in the south of the Yangtze River. The autumn wind and horses in Saibei, the yellow sand in the Xirong Desert, and the ocean, there are plenty of them. Where you fight, I'm afraid that you will get tired of fighting and can't fight anymore!"
