At the same time, after Huang Taiji led his Eight Banners troops to the frontline battlefield, the first thing he did was not to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang, but to make an appointment with Zhu Yuanzhang in the ancient pine forest and invite him to the ancient pine forest for a while. Why? It seems that

Only Huang Taiji himself knew about it. He hid the information very deeply. The people in the Military Aircraft Department and Sticking Department only knew about something, but they didn't know the content.

Huang Taiji took Aixinjueluo.

An ambush was set up around the ancient pine forest. He was afraid that Huang Taiji would deceive and attack the Ming army with elite soldiers in the ancient pine forest. His life would be at risk. He would not do such a loss-making business.

"The sky is vast and the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and you can see the cattle and sheep..." Huang Taiji looked at the ancient pine forest and the vast white plain, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although the ancient pine forest is called a pine forest, it is not a "pine forest", but a vast plain area. The place where Huang Taiji is at this time is a naturally formed stone pavilion. It must be said that the power of nature is great

Yes, it creates everything in this world so vividly, it is really amazing.

"Huang Mafa (Grandpa), do you think Zhu Yuanzhang will come?" Young Xuan Ye asked, looking around.

"No, with people like Zhu Yuanzhang, he will definitely come, but precisely because of people like him, the surrounding area has long been full of murderous intent. He is staring at us somewhere now." Huang Taiji stared at the surroundings with his eyes.

Anywhere where people can hide, they are afraid that the Ming army will suddenly appear and attack them.

Nian Gengyao was holding a sword, and behind him the imperial guards wearing yellow mantles were also using their naked eyes to detect the surrounding environment. Once the Ming army broke out, they could protect Huang Taiji's personal safety.

At this time, the imperial guards of the Qing army were not as weak as in the late Qing Dynasty, but strong and powerful, and could fight fierce beasts. Many of them were grassroots generals with military backgrounds. Murderousness was their essential characteristic.

If there is danger, they will defend with death.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was observing in the dark, also knew that it was time to appear, so Zhu Yuanzhang led the Imperial Guards with Deng Yu, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong to come to Huang Taiji.

"Hey, isn't this someone from the Lao Qing family? Why did you think of negotiating with us today?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very arrogant. He knew very well that if Huang Taiji took the initiative to find Zhu Yuanzhang, he must not continue to fight, or the other party wanted to

To win over, or to cease the war, but the word "to win over" does not seem to be something that Huang Taiji can say. After all, for some reason, the officials of the Qing Dynasty may not agree.

"Come on, come on, Brother Zhu, sit down quickly, Nian Gengyao, serve tea to Brother Zhu." Huang Taiji suddenly became respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. Nian Gengyao and Xuan Ye who followed him looked confused, and they had looked serious just now.

, why has it become such a shame now?

Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu, who were behind Zhu Yuanzhang, finally saw that Huang Taiji did not want to fight. Now there was only one possibility left, which was a truce.

Xuan Ye, who was sitting next to him, quickly stood up and offered his seat to Zhu Yuanzhang. Since his grandfather was respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang, he, his grandson, could only follow his grandfather's example.

"No, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, know very well what you are like Huang Taiji. Tea is unnecessary. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you came here personally to pour me tea and chat. You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What on earth is going on? We

Open the skylight and speak frankly!" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed away the tea that Huang Taiji offered with both hands with his right hand, crossed his legs and said proudly.

"Hey... To be honest, I won't hide it from you today. Now the fiscal expenditure of the Qing Dynasty is basically in a negative growth trend, and military expenditure is seriously insufficient..." Huang Taiji finally made the secret that he had kept hidden to the public, Nian Gengyao and Xuan Ye

He looked confused. Didn’t he say that the Qing Dynasty’s financial reserves had no problems at all? How could this be?

"Hahaha, so you are here to ask for peace?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly after hearing the news. Now they can have fun. The joint military expenditure is not enough, and the national fiscal revenue cannot support it!

"...Exactly." Huang Taiji nodded and replied helplessly.

At this time, General Wang Niangengyao, who was the commander-in-chief of the front line, was disillusioned. He originally wanted to use the Eight Banners and Green Battalions to cooperate with Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's troops in three groups and attack the ancient pine forest.

, drove straight south, and Feng Zicai's artillery and Yue Zhongqi's cavalry attacked Anyang County. In this way, they could gain strategic depth and eat away at the Ming Dynasty's territory bit by bit.

Because of this huge secret, Nian Gengyao's strategic conception was completely shattered. Why did the country go to war in the first place when the country's financial and military expenditures were insufficient? Xuan Ye was also very surprised and confused. He dared to go to war with the Ming Dynasty with such a weak family background. This

What courage!

"Huang Mafa, this..." Xuan Ye was speechless. He couldn't defeat Ming, and he couldn't defeat Yuan. Now that the military budget is gone, who else can he defeat?

"Don't say it, all this is my mistake. I misjudged the situation. Who would have thought that the grain merchants of the Ming Dynasty would go to my territory of the Qing Dynasty to sell grain, and all the money would go to the Ming Dynasty..."

Huang Taiji glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was playing very ruthlessly. He just sent the people out and enjoyed the results while waiting for Huang Taiji to beg them.

In fact, this idea was not his, because Qing's and Ming's heads were different, so Zhu Di went to Feng Hao and asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother to get the matter over with. He learned the method of wearing a headgear, but this time it was too late.

I owe Feng Hao a favor.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Shen Wansan as the commander-in-chief of this grain merchant team, asking him to lead all the Ming merchants to go north together, and secretly opened a black market to stimulate the common merchants of the Qing Dynasty to come to the Ming Dynasty to trade. In this way, the interests of the Ming Dynasty became the greatest.

One party, and Qing became the party that suffered the most.

This was a market war. The Qing Dynasty lost at the heaviest price. As a result, the country's fiscal revenue all experienced negative growth. It was completely losing money to foreign countries. Aisin Gioro Fulin, who was still in charge of the country, has now also targeted foreign exports.

Qian Cai made a policy to stop all transactions with Ming Dynasty and block market trade with Ming Dynasty. If this continues, the country's money will have to be taken away by Ming Dynasty.

"Tell me, what should you do to stop the war in this battle?" Huang Taiji also opened the skylight to speak out and directly asked Zhu Yuanzhang how to deal with post-war issues.

"First, cede all of your land south of the Lingjiang River to me, the Ming Dynasty. Second, not only that, your Qing Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue will give me 30% of the Ming Dynasty. Third, all military operations must be reported to me in advance, otherwise, there will be

You look good." Zhu Yuanzhang stated these conditions one by one, and Huang Taiji suddenly thought of how many other emperors there were in his family, and those treaties... were very similar to now.
