I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On June 5th, a convoy entered Nanjing. They were peace envoys sent by the Qing court.

The two armies fought without killing the envoy. Although the two sides had a great feud, Wu Changqing, together with several ministers, received Mao Wenci, the envoy of the Qing court.

This Mao Wenci was a Han Chinese, but he joined the Manchu Qing at a very early stage, was very loyal to the Qing court, and was used more frequently in the Qing court.

The reason why the Qing court sent him here was mainly because he was a Han Chinese, so he could encounter less difficulties during negotiations. If a Manchu is sent over, the two sides may have a disagreement and the talks will collapse.

"I have seen General Wu."

Mao Wenci bowed.

After some polite remarks, Mao Wenci started the theme of this trip, he said: "The Central Plains have been turbulent for years, and the people are struggling to live.

I have heard that General Wu loves the people like a son, and cares about the people. As the so-called hero sees the same way, I hope that the general can think of the people, turn battles into jade and silk, and stop fighting.

The regent is willing to rule the river with the general and rule the world together. "

Mao Wenci said some beautiful words and made a reason for caring about the people.

"Hahaha, Dorgon is afraid."

Liu Hansan said with a smile, mocking the messenger, it would be more appropriate for them to do it. Wu Changqing's own mockery seemed low-key, and when his subordinates mocked, it could be attributed to the fact that his subordinates were rude and did not understand etiquette, and the Qing court had nothing to say.

"General Liu is joking. The Prince Regent is a once-in-a-hundred-year-old talent. He rose from a corner outside the customs and now occupies half of the world, so why should he be afraid of anyone? The reason why he sent me here is for the people of the world.

The north has been plagued by thieves for many years, and if the war continues, countless people will be displaced and starved. Continue to fight to affect the cultivation of the people. At that time, I am afraid that some unbearable things will happen. "

It is not easy for Mao Wenci to maintain Dorgon's majesty and persuade Wu Changqing to agree to peace talks.

The only trump card he could rely on was the people of Limin.

As long as the war continues, Dorgon is bound to increase taxes, and more people in the north will starve to death.

In exchange for someone with a softer heart, maybe he would really compromise because of this.

However, Wu Changqing will definitely not compromise, and he has no way to compromise. You can't give up unifying the world just because you are concerned about the people in the north. If you really expose the weakness of Xinxin, Dorgon will not have to escort the people to the city wall as a meat shield in the future?

A person who truly loves the people like a child cannot be a person in power, and Wu Changqing will make choices when necessary.

"It sounds nice, but it's actually scary. I advise you to surrender obediently. We may also consider letting you go back out of the border. Otherwise, don't expect a good death at that time."

Ruan Dacheng also spoke, but he hoped that Dorgon would surrender, so that they could easily unify the world.

Now, although they have an advantage in the military, the war is unpredictable, and no one dares to guarantee the future. Being able to force Dorgon to return to the outside of the border is already a good result in his opinion.

When Mao Wenci heard that, he just wanted to go straight to the house. The high-level officials of Wu Jun's side were all so confident, as if the world was already in their pockets, so 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 the generals who have surrendered to the general."

Mao Wenci made a small killing move. At present, there are many generals in the Wu army who returned to surrender, and many of them have their families under the control of the Qing court in the north.

If Wu Changqing agreed to the peace talks, he could buy the loyalty of his subordinates by bringing those hostages over. But if Wu Changqing refused, it would more or less make those generals have a thorn in their hearts.

Usually this grudge may have no effect, but under certain circumstances, these grudges may affect the decisions of those generals.

In short, after Mao Wenci put forward this condition, even if Wu Changqing refused to negotiate, he would not get nothing.

This move was a conspiracy, and Wu Changqing could not escape.

Of course, this does not mean that Wu Changqing can't accept the recruit.

"Returning the family members of my subordinates is not bad, but it is not enough. If you agree to one more condition, I will agree to the peace talks."

If Wu Changqing directly refused peace talks, his subordinates who surrendered 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, and then the situation would be that it was not that he did not want to save the family members of his subordinates, but that Mao Wenci refused to agree to the peace talks and let them go.

Of course, people who are smart enough can still see the logic in it, but it doesn't matter, as long as everything is decent. Wu Changqing didn't give up the rescue directly, and those who surrendered had no reason to complain about Wu Changqing.

"I don't know what the general's so-called conditions are?"

Mao Wenci asked, he knew that this condition would definitely be very harsh, maybe asking for a lot of silver taels.

After all, Wu Changqing was notoriously greedy for money, and for money, he could sell the important prisoners he captured.

If he asked for a lot of money, Mao Wenci would not be able to agree. The Qing court is now living a tight life and is short of money everywhere.

Mao Wenci could only pray in his heart at this time, praying that Wu Changqing's conditions were not excessive.

"It's very simple, you know the story of Wang Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng, right? I heard that the current Empress Xiaozhuang Wen is the number one beauty in Mongolia.

She sent me to be a concubine, so I stopped fighting. "

Wu Changqing said.

As soon as these words came out, Mao Wenci was stunned.

This Nima, it's 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 her. There is no reason to marry a duke of Daming, and she is still a concubine.

Whoever married Wang Zhaojun was still a khan, while Wu Changqing was just a governor. Although he has actually become self-reliant, he is only a minister of the Ming Dynasty in name.

The mother of the Qing emperor married a Ming courtier 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, said it was too frivolous and rude.

"General Wu has no sincerity. Empress Xiaozhuangwen has a noble status, and no one in the world is qualified to interfere. If the general loves beautiful women, there are many young and beautiful girls in Man Meng, and their appearance is not inferior to Empress Xiaozhuangwen. We will give as much as those generals want."

Mao Wenci snorted coldly, he would never agree to this condition, he was not qualified to agree for Xiaozhuang.

And his statement also made Wu Changqing no longer have to choose whether to save or not. Wu Changqing's goal has been achieved.

Those of his subordinates can only blame Mao Wenci for not agreeing now, not him anymore.

Wu Changqing was a little disdainful of Mao Wenci's words.

Originally, he could be a little more mature, but this time he chose to show his arrogant and rash nature a little.

Wu Changqing said: "Messenger Mao, what you said is a bit too full. Whether the status is noble or not requires strength to support, and when I hit Beijing, you will know whether I have the qualifications. Of course, the premise is that You can live until that day, I hope you will protect your life in the future, and you will have a chance to flatter you."

After finishing speaking, Wu Changqing put them down and left first.
