C783 Incredible Secret

The two of them looked like fire and water, and the fight was inevitable. At this time, Dorgon said in a low voice, "Leave him alive to ask questions."

Runn Ruliu complained endlessly in his heart. It seemed like this young man from the Mi family wasn't very old, but in terms of strength... He wasn't weak at all. He was afraid that he would have to be careful in dealing with this young man. Only then would he not let his reputation, which he had kept for his entire life, go to waste. After all, Dorgon was only more familiar with the army, because he had absolute confidence in Runn Ruliu. Besides, Ye Shiyuan was just a young man, so he had never thought that... This handsome and tall young man was actually a formidable opponent of Runn Ruliu, who was like a legend who had won a hundred battles.

However, Dorgon had his own plans as well. Among Zhang Jingxuan and the few people from the Mi family, Zhang Jingxuan and Mi Shenmeng were obviously the strongest. Mi Ouping, who was confronting Tian Jing like a rooster, didn't seem to be in a good mood. From the past reports, it seemed like he wasn't in a good mood. He had the reputation of daring to be the leader of the Death Camp and was often teased by others. There were some important things that he might not be able to participate in. Speaking of which, only Ye Shiyuan had a mysterious identity. In addition, the story just now was told by him. Dorgon really hoped that Runn Ruliu could capture him and interrogate him properly. He wanted to find out which way this secret was leaked out. Whether this matter was successful or not, it was still a matter of fact. Until the last moment, no one could really guarantee it. Therefore, Dorgon felt that it was very important to find out the ins and outs of this matter.

In fact, he really hadn't figured it out. Ye Shiyuan had no idea about this matter. He knew nothing more than Mi Ouping, even Mi Shenmeng. He didn't know much about it. The story that Ye Shiyuan had told him just now was just like drawing a ladle from a calabash. Zhang Jingxuan sent a secret sound transmission to him and told him one more thing, then Ye Shiyuan repeated the same thing. Fortunately, Ye Shiyuan's ability to express himself was first-rate, so he didn't reveal any flaws at all.

In a sense, this secret wasn't a very great secret.

After all, the marriage alliance between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese was something the Ming Dynasty didn't want to hear the most.

However, now that things had come to this point, they had to find a way to deal with it.

At this moment, the actual decision-maker of the Ming Dynasty had changed to Zhu Hongji. He did not know which strategist instigated him, but in the end, he formed a motion. It was to negotiate with the people of the Qing Dynasty. Both parties had agreed that the Ming Dynasty would give a large piece of land north of the Yellow River to the people of the Qing Dynasty to herd their horses. In exchange for peace. The Nine Bends Yellow River had given birth to the culture of China. The land mentioned here... It mainly referred to the land of the Central Plains. To the north of the Yellow River, a large piece of land of Jin, Ji, Lu, and Yan The land of Jin, Ji, Lu, and Yan would all fall into the hands of the people of the Qing Dynasty. It was actually within reach. This suggestion was really hard for the people of the Qing Dynasty to reject.

This matter was probably only passed on to Dorgon and the others through Chung Suizhu two days ago.

In a sense, it could be said that this matter was passed on to ___ and the others through ___. It's like a pie as big as a hill. It fell right in front of him. This piece of rich land didn't need a single soldier. Who wouldn't be tempted to get it? Furthermore, Chung Suizhu also expressed another layer of meaning. Since the Japanese were also participating in the battle, if they disembarked from the Korean Peninsula... With the power of North Korea, it was very likely that they would benefit from it. Since that was the case, it would be better for the Ming Dynasty to take a step back and the Qing Dynasty to accept this extremely generous gift. Both sides agreed on this. In the future, just like Northern Song and Great Liao, they would become brothers. Instead of fighting, the Japanese would take advantage of them.

In fact, both sides had different plans.

To Zhu Hongji, his advisor had a better idea. First, he had to break the alliance of Qing Dynasty, Japan, and North Korea. Otherwise, with the current strength of Ming Dynasty, he would have to break the alliance of Qing Dynasty, Japan, and North Korea. It would be difficult to defend against it. In their opinion, they were afraid that they could no longer defend the Northern Capital. Since that was the case, they could only move the capital south. In the past few years, the north had been plagued with famine and war. The third reason was because of the constant harassment from the Qing Dynasty, causing the whole place to be in chaos. Even if there weren't ten rooms and nine empty rooms, their vitality would have been greatly damaged. If he left this mess behind for the people of the Qing Dynasty, he could focus on fixing the south. Fu Jian and Taiwan, which Zheng Zhilong actually controlled, were once again under the true rule of Ming Dynasty, resting and recuperating. As long as he could get three to five years of time to rest, he believed that he could launch a large-scale attack in the north. They would be able to reclaim their lost land. One had to know that Great Ancestor Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, was the first in the history of China. He was a hero from the south to the north.

To the people of Qing Dynasty, they might not be able to think of Zhu Hongji's scheme. Of course, even if they could think of it, it would be a piece of fat meat that was right in front of their mouths. There's no reason to refuse. Although the Qing Empire had the overall advantage in terms of tactics, if they wanted to turn this advantage into a victory, they still had to put in a lot of effort. Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty had a vast territory. If they could really mobilize the whole nation... They could still recruit a million soldiers, even if the Qing could win. It would certainly be a miserable victory. After all, with the addition of the Mongol and other divisions, the population of Qing Dynasty was only that much. Hence, over the years, they had adopted a strategy to nibble away at the Ming Dynasty like ants nibbling at an elephant.

Now, the other side wanted to cut off meat and feed the eagle, so why wouldn't he do it? He could occupy a large piece of land to the north of the Yellow River. Then, as long as he adopted a soft policy... If he could win over the Han people in his camp, then the disadvantage of the population would be almost negligible. At that time, crossing the Yellow River and crossing the Yangtze River was just around the corner.

Furthermore, the words of Ming Dynasty's messenger Chung Suizhu also expressed the worry of Qing Dynasty Empire. The Japanese had always been eyeing the continent covetously, wanting to use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard. They wanted to reach this continent that they dreamt of. They had to be wary of their wild ambitions.

Therefore, the people of Qing Dynasty didn't make things difficult for them. They agreed to Zhu Hongji's request for peace talks, and all that was left was to discuss some details.

At this point, Dorgon and the others didn't plan to hide it from the Japanese. The Japanese were about to send troops to the East Crossing, and since it had already come to this, they could temporarily withdraw their troops.

However, this time, the Japanese didn't want to do it. Both sides had agreed to form a marriage alliance to deal with the Ming Dynasty. But now that the people of the Qing Dynasty had gotten the benefits, they had no choice but to give up. The Japanese were not unreasonable. They had married the princess to Fu Lin. It was also to show their sincerity. Now, the people of the Qing Dynasty were using the Japanese's prestige to scare the Ming Dynasty into making peace. In the end, they would have to cough up some blood to make up for what they had done in Japan, right?

However, the people of the Qing Dynasty might not agree with this logic, and both sides were in a deadlock for a moment.
