On June 5th, a convoy entered Nanjing. They were the peace ambassadors sent by the Qing court.
The two armies fought without beheading. Although the two sides are now feuding, Wu Changqing and several ministers met Mao Wenci, the envoy of the Qing court.
This Mao Wenci was a Han Chinese, but he had taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty at a very early time, he was very loyal to the Qing court, and was more commonly used in the Qing court.
The reason why the Qing court sent him was mainly because of his identity as a Han Chinese, so he was less difficult to make in negotiations. If a Manchu is sent over, the two sides may fall apart if they disagree.
"I have seen General Wu."
Mao Wen gave a gift.
After some polite remarks, Mao Wenci began the theme of this trip. He said: "The Central Plains have been wars for years, and the people have no livelihood. The regent feels that the people in the world are suffering and he is unwilling to fight with the general.
It is said that General Wu loves the people like his sons, and cares about the people, and he and the regent are really in the same way. As the so-called heroes see the same things, I hope that the generals will be able to consider the common people, turn wars into jade, and stop fighting.
The regent is willing to rule the river with the general and rule the world together. "
Mao Wenci said something beautiful, and gave a reason to care for the people.
"Hahaha, Dorgon is scared, right?"
Liu Hansan laughed and laughed, mocking the messenger, it would be more appropriate for them to do it. Wu Changqing's ridicule in person seems to be of a low style, and when his subordinates ridicule, it can be attributed to the fact that his subordinates are rude and do not understand etiquette, and the Qing court has nothing to say.
"General Liu laughed. The regent is a talent that has been seen for a hundred years. He has risen from a corner outside the pass, and now he has occupied half of the world. Why should he be afraid of anyone. The reason why he sent me is for the people of the world.
The north has been plagued by robbers for many years, and if the war continues, hundreds of people will be displaced and starved. Continue to fight to affect the cultivation of the people, and then, I am afraid that something intolerable will happen. "
It was not easy for Mao Wenci, not only to maintain Dorgon's majesty, but also to persuade Wu Changqing to agree to the peace talks.
The only hole he can rely on is the people of Li Min.
As long as the war continues, Dorgon will inevitably increase taxes, and the people in the north will starve to death more people.
If you are a soft-hearted person, you might really compromise because of this.
However, Wu Changqing will definitely not compromise, and he can't compromise either. Can't you give up on unifying the world just because you care about the people in the north? If it really exposes the weakness of the good-heartedness, in the future, Dorgon will not be able to **** the people to the city wall as a physical shield?
People who truly love the people like their children cannot be the ones in power, and Wu Changqing will make choices when necessary.
"It sounds good, but I'm actually scared. I would advise you to surrender obediently. We may still consider releasing you back. Otherwise, don't expect a good death at that time."
Ruan Dacheng also spoke, but he hoped that Dorgon could surrender, so that they could unify the world easily.
Now, even though they have an advantage in the military, the war is unpredictable, and no one dares to pack a ticket for future events. Being able to force Dorgon to return to the customs is already a good result in his opinion.
Hearing this, Mao Wenci only wanted to go back to the mansion directly. The high-level officials on Wu Jun's side were so confident, as if the world was already in their pocket, there was no way to talk about it.
"The regent said that if the general is willing to negotiate, he can return the families of those generals who have returned to the general."
Mao Wenci used a small killer move. At present, there are many returning generals in the Wu army, and many of them have their families controlled by the Qing court in the north.
If Wu Changqing agrees to the peace talks, he can buy the loyalty of his subordinates by taking those hostages over. But if Wu Changqing refuses, it will more or less leave those generals with a thorn in their hearts.
Usually, these grievances may have no effect, but under certain circumstances, these grievances may affect the decisions of those generals.
In short, after Mao Wenci put forward this condition, even if Wu Changqing refused the peace talks, he would not get nothing.
This move is a shame, and Wu Changqing can't hide it.
Of course, this does not mean that Wu Changqing will not be able to accept the move.
"Returning my subordinates' family members is not bad, but it is not enough. If you promise me one more condition, I will agree to the peace talks."
If Wu Changqing directly refused the peace talks, his subordinates would inevitably be dissatisfied. Therefore, Wu Changqing did not make a decision, but kicked the ball to Mao Wenci again.
He was going to make a request that Mao Wenci could not agree to. Then the situation would become not that he didn't want to save the family members of his subordinates, but that Mao Wenci would not agree to the peace talks.
Of course, a smart enough person can still see the logic clearly, but it doesn't matter, everything is fine. Wu Changqing did not directly give up the rescue on the face of it, and the surrendering factions had no reason to complain about Wu Changqing.
"I wonder what the general's so-called conditions are?"
Mao Wenci asked, he knew that this condition would be very harsh, maybe it was a lot of silver taels.
After all, Wu Changqing is notoriously greedy for money. He can sell the important prisoners he caught for money.
If it was to ask for a lot of money, Mao Wenci could not agree to it. The Qing court is now living a tight life, and there is a shortage of money everywhere.
Mao Wenci could only pray at this time, praying that Wu Changqing's conditions were not excessive.
"Very simple, do you know the story of Wang Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng? I heard that Empress Xiaozhuangwen is the number one beauty in Manmeng. If you send her to me as a concubine, I will stop the war temporarily."
Wu Changqing said.
Mao Wenci was stunned when he said this.
This Nima is too much, it's a blatant insult.
Empress Xiaozhuangwen, that is the mother of the current emperor, and even Dorgon is not qualified to marry. How can it be reasonable to marry a duke of Daming and still be a concubine.
The man who married Wang Zhaojun was still a khan, and Wu Changqing was just a governor. Although he was actually self-reliant, he was only a courtier of Daming in name.
The mother of the Qing emperor married a courtier of Daming as a concubine, this...
There was some anger on Mao Wenci's face. He felt that Wu Changqing, as the most powerful person in power, was too frivolous and rude to say this.
"General Wu doesn't have any sincerity. Empress Xiaozhuangwen is noble, and no one in the world is qualified to get involved. If the general loves beautiful women, there are many young and beautiful girls in the Mengmeng, whose appearance is not inferior to Queen Xiaozhuangwen. We will send as much as those generals want."
Mao Wenci snorted coldly. He would never agree to this kind of condition. He was not qualified to agree to Xiaozhuang's behalf.
And his statement made Wu Changqing no longer have to make the choice of not being saved, and Wu Changqing's goal has been achieved.
Those of his subordinates can only blame Mao Wenci for not agreeing now, and can no longer blame him.
Wu Changqing was a bit disdainful of Mao Wenci's words.
Originally, he could be a little more mature, but this time he chose to show his arrogant and indiscreet nature a little bit.
Wu Changqing said: "Emissary Mao, what you said is a bit too full. Noble or noble status requires strength to support. When I reach Beijing, you will know whether I have that qualification. Of course, the premise is You can live until that day, and I hope you will protect your own life in the future, and you will have the opportunity to flatter you at that time."
After speaking, Wu Changqing put them down and left first.
