"What? Sun Zhixian and Kong Sixi haven't surrendered to the Southern Dynasty yet?"
Dorgon was surprised when he heard this. In the past two years, he had met many second, third, and fourth ministers, and he no longer had any hope in the loyalty of the Han people to the Qing Dynasty. In his opinion, if Sun Zhixian and Kong Sixi had not been killed, they would have jumped back to the Ming Dynasty by now.
"No, the Southern Dynasty did not surrender," Jin Zhijun said, "the two of them are still our loyal slaves of the Qing Dynasty! Zhu Cixiang wants to use the two of them plus Suo Zhongtang, plus the captured family members of Zhenglv Banner, in exchange for the ones we captured from Qufu Han people.”
"Oh." Dorgon nodded and said to himself: It turns out that he despises them and wants to trade them for someone else!
"Then, let's do this!" Dorgon said, "Jin Zhijun, you go back immediately and talk to that Zukefa about the fifth great lama... Wu Sangui's family in Beijing If I don’t kill any of them, I will use them all to exchange for the great lama! I guess Wu Sangui wouldn’t dare to actually kill the great lama, right?”
If Wu Sangui really kills the great lama, Dorgon will stop worrying! Anyway, the great lama will be reincarnated, and it will be the same with another sixth great lama when the time comes. Now Dorgon is worried that the great lama will find Emperor Zhu. Emperor Zhu is very rich!
Moreover, the third great lama, who served two times before him, had a very good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. He also helped the Ming Dynasty deceive the Mongolian Amada Khan, which greatly eased the tension between Amada Khan and the Ming Dynasty, and also helped the Ming Dynasty. The Mongol warriors became followers of Buddha. In the fifteenth year of Wanli's reign, he was awarded the title of "Duo Zhier Sing" (King Kong King) by Ming Shenzong, and was invited to Beijing. He passed away on the way to Beijing.
With this relationship, there is no guarantee that the fifth great lama will not be invited to Nanjing by Emperor Zhu... With the great lama as a matchmaker, Zhu Cixi might be able to contact the leader of the Oara Mongolia, Guoshi Khan, and establish the Ming Dynasty - Oara alliance!
By then, the Qing Dynasty will face the dilemma of war on two fronts!
Thinking of this, Dorgon said to Jin Zhijun: "It's better to tell Zhu Cixi about the great lama... Just say that I got sick in Qufu last year, and the medicine and stone were useless. I suspected that I was invaded by external evil. The great lama needs to chant sutras to ward off evil spirits. So as long as the Ming Dynasty releases the great lama, everything will be easy to negotiate."
"Huang Ama, do you want to agree to Zhu Cixiang's request?"
"Huang Ama, this is not okay..."
"Huang Ama, think twice!"
He Luohui, Bo Hui, and E Keqin, Dorgon's confidants, were a little anxious when they saw that he was relieved. To cede land and pay compensation is a matter of losing power and humiliating the country, so we cannot agree to it!
Dorgon raised his hand and said, "Stop talking... You don't want to go to Long and look at Shu. What were the conditions when the late emperor and Chongzhen negotiated peace? It was just that each king had his own country, with Ningyuan's twin trees in the middle. Tuling is the border of the Ming Dynasty, Tashan is the border of the Qing Dynasty, and Lianshan is a moderate place for mutual trade. Now it is said that we cede the land, but in fact? The borders of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all drawn in Shandong and Henan, and there are What’s so dissatisfying?”
He Luohui reminded: "Huang Ama, I am afraid that the masters of each banner will say anything!"
"What did they say?" Dorgon snorted, "If they want to continue the fight, they can send troops, but I won't stop them. However, my pure white flag, bordered green flag, Azige's bordered white flag, and Dodo's pure blue flag will not stop me." We will send troops."
Hearing what Dorgon said, He Luohui, Bo Hui, and E Keqin were speechless. However, Fan Wencheng, who had been silent just now, spoke up, "Huang Ama, I think we should add one more thing - open Mutual market!”
"There is a mutual market," Dorgon was startled, "Isn't there a mutual market on Haisha Island in Dagukou?"
"Huang Ama, this mutual market is not good for us, the Qing Dynasty."
"Disadvantage?" Dorgon asked, "Where is the disadvantage?"
Fan Wencheng said: "It is not good for coastal defense. Firstly, Haisha Island is near Dagukou. The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty can disguise themselves as merchants and come in and out freely and peek at the defenses near Dagukou. Secondly, the mutual trade is placed outside Dagukou. We The nine great imperial merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not have to go to sea and made money just sitting at home, but the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty came from thousands of miles away. Over time, the power of the Ming Dynasty at sea became stronger and stronger, and we can’t even go out to sea. It’s difficult even across the sea.”
"Where should the mutual market be placed?" Dorgon asked.
"Put it on Shamen Island off the coast of Penglai," Fan Wencheng said. "The mutual trade will be jointly managed by personnel from both countries. Nine great imperial merchants from the Qing Dynasty were allowed to open commercial shops on the island, and nine commercial shops were opened on the other side of the Ming Dynasty. , in addition, the English and Koreans are allowed to open one business house each, for a total of twenty business houses. As for the route from Shamen to Dagukou, only the nine imperial merchants are allowed to operate."
Dorgon thought for a while and felt that what Fan Wencheng said made sense, "That's okay... That's it! Fan Wencheng, this time you go to Dengzhou with Jin Zhijun. If Zhu Cixiang agreed to the conditions we added, so let’s discuss signing with him!"
...
"What? Dorgon was possessed by evil spirits in Qufu and wants the great lama to recite sutras? OK, OK... As long as Wu Sangui is willing to let him go."
"Then I will thank Emperor Ming on behalf of Emperor Ama..."
"... Open a mutual trade on Salmen Island? Salmen Island is too small, how can we open a mutual trade? But let's open it at Lushunkou... Lushunkou is a big place and has a good seaport. It doesn't freeze in winter, and it doesn't freeze in summer. It can also prevent typhoons. Only by putting the mutual market there can you do business with peace of mind! As for the British and Korean merchant houses, haha, since the mutual trade has been opened in Lushun, all countries can come to trade, and the British and Koreans are naturally among the countries. Listed.”
"It's okay to change it to Lushunkou, as long as your country doesn't find it troublesome..."
Danya Mountain, Penglai Palace. Emperor Zhu Da was discussing with Fan Wencheng the details of what later generations called the "Dengzhou Treaty of Ming and Qing Dynasties." In the words of later generations, this treaty was beneficial to both Zhu Cihong and Dorgon.
So the talks went very smoothly, and after just a few rounds, we basically reached an agreement.
Emperor Zhu didn't care too much about the two items that Dorgon added - the great lama was what Wu Sangui wanted to exchange for the lives of his family members, and he was not in Zhu Cihong's hands. Moreover, Zhu Cixiang has no intention of joining forces with the Heshuote Khanate. If it were the Jungar Khanate, he might be tempted, but forget about the strength of the Heshuote Khanate. Just stay in Tibet and Qinghai!
As for moving the Haisha Island mutual trade to Lushunkou, it would not be harmful to Zhu Cixiang. If Jinzhou develops faster, Ming Dynasty's foundation in Liaodong will be more stable!
After talking about business matters, it’s time to talk about personal matters.
Emperor Zhu asked with a smile: "Fan Wencheng, did Dorgon say when will Princess be sent?"
"Gege is still young," Fan Wencheng smiled. "She is only eleven years old this year... but she is not old enough to leave the cabinet."
"I know, I know," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "I know Dongor is still young, and I am not in a hurry to marry her, but there are a lot of red tapes in our court, and Dongguo has to learn them one by one. And... Southeast The climate and soil are very different from those in the north, and smallpox is prevalent. Dongguo will have to adapt slowly, and I will also arrange for my doctor to vaccinate her.
So I want to ask her to move to Dengzhou as soon as possible. This Penglai Palace was built by me for Dongguan. In addition, I also ordered people to build a summer palace for Dongguan in Laoshan, north of the Yangtze River in Yingtianfu, so that Dongguan can avoid the summer heat of Nanjing. After the Laoshan Summer Palace is repaired, Dongguo will be allowed to go south from Dengzhou and move into the Summer Palace. "
Pukou Laoshan is the remnant of the Huaiyang Mountains. The mountain is not high, but it has dense vegetation and a large forest sea. It is also located in the north of the Yangtze River, so it is naturally not as hot as Nanjing City on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Zhu Cixiang asked people to build a palace in Laoshan not for the sake of Dongguo Princess, but to find a cleaner place for himself.
He originally came to see Zhongshan, but because Zhongshan was occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cixi himself would have to "live" there forever, it was a bit unlucky, so he built the palace in Laoshan instead.
In addition, Zhu Cixiang also planned to enclose the Laoshan area as a royal hunting ground and horse farm. After the breeding and breeding of broken-eared horses was on track, Zhu Cixiang planned to use the Laoshan hunting ground to bring the lifestyle of horse breeding and hunting to the Ming Dynasty. New aristocracy.
Only when nobles raise Folded Horses together can the number of Folded Horses be truly guaranteed.
