Chapter 1246 The Qing Dynasty wants to discuss peace


    Chapter 1244: The Qing Dynasty wants to discuss peace


    Northeast of Youzhou, Liaozhou, Shengjing City.


    After Temujin''s measures in Hetao came, Shengjing City began to surging.


    As Yuan Meng re-enlisted 100,000 elite troops to move south, recruited 200,000 new troops, and integrated slaves into an army...


    Temujin''s series of measures led to Nurhaci of the Qing Dynasty and could not sit still.


    Today, the Yuan Meng, in addition to the whole country''s soldiers and slave army, had a total of 800,000 troops alone. Although there were 200,000 new recruits, this was still a number that made the entire Qing Dynasty respect.


    Yuan Meng''s crazy and violent soldiers did shake the national foundation, but the powerful strength it burst out really shocked Nurhaci.


    The total number of troops in the Qing Dynasty was only 500,000, of which 300,000 were fought outside, 100,000 were fighting against the Three Koreans, and 200,000 were fighting in Youzhou. There were only 200,000 troops left in the country, which made all the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, including Nurhaci, extremely lacking insecurity.


    Nurhaci did not want to shake the national base at the expense of a crazy violent soldier and a surge in strength in the short term, but Yuan Meng''s threat was on the side and the Qing Dynasty could not ignore it.


    The Yuan and Meng soldiers fought for Hetao with Qin and Jin. Although they would not threaten the Qing Dynasty in the short term, once Yuan Meng obtained Hetao, they would have Hetao’s food and grass to support the army, the previously shaky national foundation would be consolidated again, and their overall strength would be even more powerful than before, and then the balance on the grassland would be completely broken.


    The Qing Dynasty was not afraid of fighting with Yuan Meng, but it had to admit that Yuan Meng''s overall strength was stronger than himself, and if he wanted to continue to maintain a balance with Yuan Meng, the Qing Dynasty could only occupy the Three Hans or Youzhou.


    Huang Taiji attacked the land of the Three Hans, and Wanyan Aguda conquered Youzhou. Both of them achieved great results at the beginning of the war, and opened up nearly a thousand miles of land for the Qing Dynasty.


    But with Li Yuanhao joining forces with the kings of the Three Koreans to keep warm, and Liu Che and Gongsun Xuanyuan, the battle between the Qing Dynasty in Youzhou and the Three Koreans was in a deadlock.


    The situation in Sanhan is pretty good, but the situation in Youzhou is a little bad.


    The surrender of Han generals such as Wu Sangui gave the Qing Dynasty an excellent start in Youzhou, but with Gongsun Xuanyuan ascending the throne, Gongsun and Liu Che''s alliance and Liu Bei''s initiative to help.


    With the joint efforts of Gongsun Xuanyuan, Liu Che, Liu Bei, and the three princes, Nurhaci and Dorgon were defeated several times, losing their troops and losing their generals, and even retreating to Lu Longsai to defend the enemy. It was difficult to take steps in Youzhou.


    The failure on the front line also made Nurhaci realize that both Youzhou and Sanhan still have a profound foundation, and it is impossible to occupy it in the short term.


    Nurhaci realized that he underestimated the Three Hans and Youzhou, and also overestimated the combat power of the Qing warriors, and even realized his mistake in starting a war on both sides.


    With the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to embezzle the Three Hans and Youzhou at the same time. If it is really swallowed, it will be difficult to digest, and it will be held up.


    Since he cannot defeat the Three Hans and Youzhou in the short term, he will only waste food and troops if he continues to fight. This has given Nurhaci a peace talks and ceases to fight Yuan Meng''s idea.


    Nurhaci did not make arbitrary decisions, but asked a group of aides and two sons on the front line before finally deciding to negotiate peace with the Sanhan and Youzhou.


    The three Han kings were afraid of Huang Taiji like tigers. When they heard that Huang Taiji wanted to discuss peace, they naturally agreed happily. The alliance built by Li Yuanhao was easily resolved by the Qing Dynasty again.


    Except for Li Yuanhao, the three kings of Han were all cartilage, but none of the princes of Youzhou were cartilage.


    After learning that the Qing Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace, Gongsun Xuanyuan did not directly refuse, but made two requests: 1. Hand over a group of traitors such as Wu Sangui;


    2. The Qing Dynasty withdrew from all the land of Youzhou occupied.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan''s request was very clear. He could have a peace talk, but he had to hand over Wu Sangui who killed Gongsun Zan. Moreover, the entire Qing army withdrew from Youzhou and did not commit any reoffense, otherwise he would continue to fight to the death.


    Nurhaci thought that if he took the initiative to cease the Han princes would agree happily. After all, the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful party in Youzhou. The princes of Youzhou could only rent treasures by uniting, but they did not expect that Gongsun Xuanyuan not only refused to agree to the peace, but instead made such excessive demands. This simply treated the Qing Dynasty as a defeated country.


    Nurhaci could not agree to any of the two requests made by Gongsun Xuanyuan.


    If you hand over Wu Sangui and others, will there be any Han people who dare to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the future?


    If you leave Youzhou, wouldn’t the Qing Dynasty have been in vain for so long?


    The reason why Nurhaci wanted to withdraw his troops was because he could not get any benefits if he continued to fight. Although he wanted to withdraw his troops, he also wanted to protect the benefits he got. However, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s extremely strong attitude was also a headache for Nurhaci.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan''s road was not easy, and Nurhaci sent someone to lobby Liu Che, hoping to divide the alliance between the three princes of Youzhou on the grounds that "Once the Qing Dynasty withdrew from Youzhou, Gongsun Xuanyuan would dominate the country in Youzhou."


    What Nurhaci didn''t expect was that Liu Che''s attitude towards foreign races was tougher than Gongsun Xuanyuan, and could even be described as discrimination.


    Liu Che not only asked the Qing Dynasty to agree to Xuanyuan’s two conditions, but also proposed two more, one for you, foreign races, and it is your honor to cede land and bid money for me.


    Nurhaci could see that neither Gongsun Xuanyuan nor Liu Che had any sincerity in peace talks. Although he wanted to cease the war, he could not sign a clause that was defeated and humiliated before he was defeated.


    The great man did not want to negotiate peace, so the Qing Dynasty would not be afraid of war.


    In this way, the Qing Dynasty''s battle in Youzhou continued, but the offensive turned from attack to defense.


    After the Qing Dynasty took back the troops of Huang Taiji and the three Han dynasties, the domestic troops reached 300,000 elite troops, but there were differences on whether to send troops to Yuan Meng.


    One side believes that there are only 100,000 veterans in Yuan and Mongolia, and 200,000 new soldiers are vulnerable. They should take this opportunity to concentrate the national forces to destroy Yuan and Mongolia in one fell swoop.


    The other side believes that although the Yuan and Mongolian country is empty now, more than 500,000 troops are in Hetao. Once the war with Yuan and Mongolian begins at this time, the main army of Yuan and Mongolia will definitely return, and it will only be cheaper for Qin and Jin. Therefore, they should sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. After Yuan and Jin fight with both sides, they will send troops to fight to the death with Yuan and Mongolia.


    After several days of discussion, Nurhaci finally chose to fight and watch the tiger fight.


    First of all, the Qing Dynasty also had to take into account the battlefield in Youzhou and could not concentrate all its efforts to deal with Yuan Meng.


    Secondly, although the Yuan and Mongolian country are empty, there are still 30 armies. Even if 200,000 of them are new recruits, they still have the ability to protect themselves.


    In the end, Nurhaci didn''t want to get cheaper Qin Hao.


    Nurhaci seemed to have made the most correct decision, but in fact he was a big mistake. He missed the best opportunity to destroy Yuan Meng with his own hands.


    I''m really sorry for the two days of interruption. If you lack the first one, you will make up for the fragrance in the back. I sincerely remind all my friends that you must tell the elderly at home that you must not delay minor illnesses or disasters. If you drag them, you will become a serious illness. I also wish all my friends’ grandparents good health and longevity!
