Chapter 2133: Qin Qing’s Treaty of Beiping? (Down)
Nurhachi looked at Qin Hao in surprise, obviously not expecting this to be the case, but then he sneered.
Will Qin Hao give up the war and turn to peace talks when he has the advantage, just because the Qing army is very tough and might knock out a few teeth if he bites it?
How can this be.
With Qin Hao's character, how could he do such a thing?
So, there is definitely a conspiracy.
Nurhachi thought to himself: "Let's see how you continue to act."
Nurhachi took it and saw that it was only the first article of the treaty. He was so angry that he almost tore up the treaty.
"Treaty of Qin and Qing You Beiping"
Article 1: Youzhou is the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty must completely withdraw from Youzhou...
You must know that among the 78 counties in the ten counties and one vassal state of Youzhou, except for the two counties in Youbeiping that were voluntarily abandoned, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang, and the vassal state of Liaodong, a total of 44 counties, are still full. In Qing's hands.
Youzhou has always been a vast land with sparsely populated areas, and the best are concentrated in the six western counties. The combined population of the four eastern counties and one vassal country is less than half of the western population.
But that is 44 counties after all.
In order to obtain these 44 counties, the Manchu Qing Dynasty planned for decades from the Wuhuan era to the present and sacrificed countless people before they successfully occupied this land.
You haven't even warmed up yet, so let Liaodong and Liaoxi go?
How could this be promised?
If Nurhachi agrees to this condition, he will become a sinner of the Manchus and his prestige among the army and the people will definitely plummet.
"you……"
Nurhaci glared at Qin Hao, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes, but he still suppressed his anger and continued to look back.
Article 2: The Qing invaded the Han Dynasty for no reason and caused immeasurable losses to the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou, which must be compensated. The compensation must be 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 5 billion in money. If it cannot be paid, This much money can be offset by war horses, cattle and sheep.
Article 3: The Qing State must pay the pensions of the Qin State’s sacrificed soldiers...
Article 4...
After reading it, Nurhachi laughed angrily. He was so angry that he had nothing to say.
The content of this contract can be summed up in four words.
Land cession and compensation.
The Qing army has not yet been defeated, and the Qin army has not yet won, but the treaty Qin Hao came up with is obviously treating the Qing country as a defeated country.
If this is signed, what is the difference between defeat and defeat? The lost interest is not much worse than total annihilation.
However, it also shows from the side that Qin Hao does intend to negotiate peace.
Originally, Nurhachi didn't believe a word of Qin Hao's peace talks, but after reading the contents of the contract, he was a little doubtful. Otherwise, why would Qin Hao make such harsh demands.
Frankly speaking, if he could bring back 120,000 troops, Nurhaci would be willing to pay a certain price.
Among the 120,000 Qing troops in Youbeiping, there are 78,000 banner cavalry, and these 70,000 troops are the most capable troops of the Qing army.
Unlike other armies that can be quickly replenished, if all the 78,000 banner troops are lost in Youbeiping, they will not be able to recover in a short time.
Of course, although Nurhaci wanted to keep the 78,000 banner troops, it would definitely not be possible according to Qin Hao's conditions.
In that case, the price would be too high. It would be better to sacrifice in order to defeat the Qin army's cavalry.
"Qin Hao, if you really want to talk, just put forward some realistic conditions."
Nurhachi shook the contract in his hand, then slammed it on the table and shouted coldly: "I will not agree to any of these conditions.
My Qing Dynasty is not a defeated country yet. You can never think of treating the Qing Dynasty as a defeated country to slaughter and humiliate. "
"Although it's not, it's not far away."
Qin Hao smiled and wiped away the droplets sprayed from the opposite side on his face, and said: "Considering the current situation, do you think the Qing army can still make a comeback?
The casualties of 30,000 to 40,000 people are nothing to our Qin country, so we gritted our teeth and got through it.
But if the Qing army loses another 120,000 troops, I wonder how long it will take for the Qing country to survive? "
Seeing that Nurhachi's face turned ugly, Qin Hao continued to confuse with a smile on his face: "If I remember correctly, since the war started, the total casualties of the Qing army have exceeded 100,000, and the total strength of the Qing army is only Just forty-five.”
[Qin Hao's skill 'Zongheng (Second Strengthening)' activates effect 3. During a battle of wits, if the opponent's intelligence is lower than his own, his own intelligence +3; if the opponent's intelligence is higher than his own, the opponent's intelligence -3;
Qin Hao's intelligence is 99, and Nurhachi's intelligence is 95. Qin Hao's intelligence is higher than Nurhachi's, so his intelligence is +3. Qin Hao's current intelligence has risen to 102;]
Qin Hao deliberately emphasized the word 'just' in order to increase Nurhaci's psychological burden.
With the increase of "Zongheng", Qin Hao's intelligence soared to 102 points, surpassing Nurhachi by 7 points. These words were full of bewitching power and penetrated deeply into people's hearts, which made Nurhaci less willing to fight to the death. Firm.
"Qin Hao is right. If these 120,000 troops are completely annihilated, there will be only more than 200,000 troops left in the country. Even if we can continue to recruit new soldiers, it will be difficult for them to hold important positions in the short term. If they are not careful, they may be in danger of destroying the country. We should still give priority to preserving the army and trying to put an end to the conflict."
Nurhachi secretly thought in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, saying: "Our Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and all the people are martial. All five million citizens can be soldiers. Even if we lose 200,000 troops, we can quickly replace them."
Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Nurhachi was really good at boasting.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural, was different from the nomadic Yuanmeng. It was absolutely impossible for all the people to become soldiers, but when it came to Nurhachi's mouth, everyone could become soldiers. It can be seen that bragging is also one of the basic demands of the emperor.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
After Qin Hao laughed, he immediately calmed down his face. After all, the person was still in front of him, so he didn't want to go too far.
"In this case, I will take a step back. The amount of compensation can be reduced by one-third. This is my biggest concession. If you don't agree, then let's go to war directly."
Although Qin Hao could expose Nurhachi's lies, he did not do so because it was meaningless, so he chose to take a step back. Only in this way can the negotiation continue.
Nurhachi was overjoyed when he heard this, and even Qin Hao, who was as strong as Qin Hao, gave in. This proved that there was still room for change in the situation and that he could continue to test.
Negotiation, isn't it just asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot.
"Article 3, I think is very unreasonable. Why should we, the Qing Dynasty, be responsible for the pensions for the Qin Army's casualties? The number of casualties of the Qing Army was much higher than that of the Qin Army..."
Nurhachi, who was taken to the ditch by Qin Hao, started serious negotiations with Qin Hao in order to gain more benefits and end the war with dignity, even arguing point by point. This negotiation lasted for three hours.
