"No need." Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Just write it here and send it directly after you finish it."
"Hey." Fan Wencheng nodded in agreement.
With pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready, Fan Wencheng started writing in front of Huang Taiji.
Soon, he finished writing what he wanted to write on the white paper, raised his hands and handed it to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji looked at it once and said, "Okay, that's it, Obai!"
"My servant is here." Obai stepped forward.
Huang Taiji folded the letter in his hand and handed it to Obai, saying, "Arrange for someone to send this letter to Ningyuan."
"Hey." Obai accepted the letter, turned around and retreated.
Under the Ming Dynasty, there were many local spies arranged for fake gold, and there were even more in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan areas.
The next day, the letter was transferred to Zu Dashou through some people.
After receiving the letter from Shenyang, Zu Dashou did not dare to read it in private. Instead, he immediately took the letter to Yuan Chonghuan's official residence.
The peace talks with the pseudo-gold were always conducted in private. Once leaked, not only his ancestor Dashou, but also Yuan Chonghuan's head would be moved.
Therefore, you cannot be more careful in this matter. After reading the letters exchanged between the two parties, they will be destroyed directly without leaving any evidence to others.
"Have you read this letter?" Yuan Chonghuan asked Xiangzu Dashou after reading the letter.
Zu Dashou said quickly: "As soon as I received this letter, I immediately handed it to Futai. I don't know the content on it."
"The slaves agree to peace talks." Yuan Chonghuan lit the credit candle.
Zu Dashou's face was filled with joy and he congratulated: "Congratulations to Futai for finally getting what he wanted."
"Don't rush to be happy yet." Yuan Chonghuan loosened the corner of the letter he held with his fingers, threw it to the ground, crushed the paper dust on the ground with his feet, and then said, "Huang Taiji made a request."
"What's the request?" Zu Dashou asked subconsciously.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Help the slave thieves deal with the people on the island."
"Ah! Dealing with the people of the Tiger Flag?" Zu Dashou looked surprised.
It was no secret that the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag had occupied Pi Island. However, he did not expect that Huang Taiji would make such a request.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "It seems that this group of thieves did something to threaten the counterfeit gold, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have made such a request."
The news of the Tiger Character Banner's victory in Tieshan had not yet reached Ningyuan City because it was separated by a piece of fake gold.
"Could it be to avenge Azig? This Azig was also a flag-bearer of the Puppet Gold. He died like this. The Puppet Gold naturally wants revenge. Considering the situation on Phi Island, he needs a navy to do it. It is possible to attack Shangpi Island, and the navy is something that the pseudo-gold currently lacks." Zu Dashou analyzed.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "What you said makes sense, but I don't think it's the reason. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would have sent this letter long ago, instead of proposing the exact conditions for peace talks after so long."
"The general feels that as long as they sincerely negotiate for peace, we can't deal with the people on Pi Island. In any case, the Tiger Character Flag is a group of thieves to the Ming Dynasty." Zu Dashou said.
Yuan Chonghuan snorted coldly and said: "Although Governor Denglai is under the control of my official, if he wants to use the navy, he needs the permission of the court. I have no power to use it privately."
"Futai, you can send the peace talks to the capital and let the Holy Emperor and the cabinet decide." Zu Dashou suggested.
After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan glared at him fiercely and said, "It's okay if the peace talks are successful. If it fails, have you ever thought about what will happen to me and you?"
Zu Dashou's expression changed.
If the peace talks succeed, they are the heroes. If the peace talks fail, their crime is to cooperate with bandits, and they will inevitably end up confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans.
Yuan Chonghuan continued: "Only if Huang Taiji is really willing to negotiate, I will inform the court. Otherwise, the peace talks will always be conducted in private and must not be brought to the table."
"Futai was right to remind you that it was Meng Lang who was the last general." Zu Dashou bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
It was not easy for the Zu family to have the power they had in front of them, and he didn't want to lose it just like that.
Yuan Chonghuan added: "Actually, I am not sure whether Huang Taiji really wants peace talks, or whether he just wants to delay and hold me back in the name of peace talks."
"If the peace talks are true or false, it will not be of any benefit to Huang Taiji!" Zu Dashou said in confusion.
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Why is there no benefit? Don't forget that not long ago, the imperial court ordered me to send troops to attack the counterfeit gold. If it were not because I wanted to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji, most of the troops would have been dispatched. "
"What Futai means is to suspect that Huang Taiji deliberately delayed their attack on North Korea in the name of peace talks?" Zu Dashou asked.
Yuan Chonghuan nodded slightly and said: "I don't understand why Huang Taiji must eradicate the people on Pi Island. Doesn't he know that even if I send the navy to take back Pi Island, it will only restore the Dongjiang River?" Town, rather than handing Pi Island into his hands, Huang Taiji."
Liu Heng received the secret letter.
First, he took a look at the lacquered opening on it, and after confirming that it was correct, he used a dagger to open the secret letter along the lacquered opening, and pulled out the paper with the contents written on it.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Liu Heng raised his head and said to Chen Dali who was sitting on the bench: "You go back first. When the new chief envoy takes office, you go directly to see him."
"Yes." Chen Dali stood up, saluted and left the signing room.
Liu Heng read the contents of the secret letter again, then put it down and said to Zhao Wu in the room: "Bring the map of Liaodong."
After hearing this, Zhao Wu walked to the next room.
It didn't take long. When he walked out of it, he had a map of Liaodong in his hand.
The map is spread out on the table.
Liu Heng looked for the location of Pi Island on the map, then Tieshan, Yizhou, Kuandian, and finally Zhenjiang.
"Send a letter to Pidao," Liu Heng looked away from the map and said to the attendant in front of him, "If we encounter the pseudo-golden army that conquers North Korea, we are allowed to abandon Tieshan and return to Pidao to take advantage of the warships. We must keep the enemy out of Phi Island and ensure the safety of Phi Island."
The attendant took a charcoal pen and quickly wrote down what Liu Heng said in a small notebook.
"That's it. Arrange for someone to send the order quickly." Liu Heng said to the attendant in front of him.
The attendant turned and left.
Liu Heng looked at the Liaodong map on the table again.
Because Liaodong was the territory of slave thieves, Huzi Banner spent two years drawing this map, thanks to the help of some people in Dongjiang Town.
"Huang Taiji is really uneasy." Liu Heng pointed his finger at a certain location on the map.
If the old slave was still alive, he would never attack Korea so quickly. The Tiger Flag could have a few more years to run Pi Dao and drive a nail behind the counterfeit gold.
