Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 318 You Can't Lose Your Momentum

After waiting for another two days, Zhang Ruxiu's temper was exhausted, and Yan Yingyuan came forward to meet him and negotiate with him.

Yan Yingyuan's injuries hadn't healed yet, so several soldiers carried him into the tent on a soft couch.Seeing Zhang Ruxiu, Yan Yingyuan lay reclined on the soft couch, and said impatiently: "Forgive me for being injured, so I can't salute. If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible."

Zhang Ruxiu didn't have any temper at all. After waiting for so many days and being neglected, he dared not show off, for fear that Yan Yingyuan would be annoyed and the negotiation would end without a problem.

"Governor Yan, I have heard of your name since I have been in Jinan for a year. It's a pleasure to meet you today! I don't know why Governor Yan was injured, but is it better?" Zhang Ruxiu approached first.

Yan Yingyuan said: "In the Battle of Boping River Valley, I personally captured Duoduo, and that's why I was injured. Heh, I have no hesitation in killing the Tartars. It would be better to die on the battlefield!"

Zhang Ruxiu was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and quickly turned to the topic: "King Pingnan sent his official to the Guichao military camp for the purpose of exchanging hostages..."

Yan Yingyuan didn't wait for him to finish, stretched out three fingers, and said decisively: "You can exchange hostages, you have to agree to three conditions. First, the Qing army withdraws from Jinan City; second, release Wang Yi; The third is to send Chen Yuanyuan back."

"Three conditions, this is the big mouth of the lion!" Zhang Ruxiu shouted, and then asked, "Who is Wang Yi, why haven't I heard of it?"

Yan Yingyuan said: "You just need to tell Shang Kexi the conditions of my court, he will report to Dorgon, and you will know who Wang Yi is when the time comes. As for the lion's mouth, it's a joke, now you have something to ask for." If I don’t take the opportunity to go down and ask for prices, do you think my Ming Dynasty is a charity?”

"Negotiations are about sincerity and fairness. Isn't it enough to exchange one person for another?" Zhang Ruxiu said.

"I'm here to tell you what sincerity is, and what is fairness and justice. Duoduo is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and Chen Yuanyuan is just a fifth-rank official. Exchanging a fifth-rank official for a prince is like exchanging sesame seeds for watermelon. Thank you for thinking it through!"

Yan Yingyuan pulled the blanket covering his lap, and continued: "I tell you the truth, Chen Yuanyuan is really not as important as you think, don't make a mistake. Well, my wound hurts, I have to go back and apply medicine Yes, you can think about it yourself."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and signaled the soldiers to lift up the soft couch.

Zhang Ruxiu grabbed the soft couch with one hand and asked, "Can I see Prince Yu?"

"There is no Prince Yu in my Ming Dynasty!"

"Can I see Duduo?" Zhang Ruxiu changed his words.

"Wait." Yan Yingyuan left.

An hour later, Zhang Ruxiu went to meet Duoduo under the strict surveillance of more than a dozen Jinyi guards.

Seeing Duoduo lying unkempt and trembling in the straw pile, he couldn't help crying: "Prince Yu, I am Zhang Ruxiu, the governor of Shandong. Please be patient for a while, King Pingnan is trying to rescue you."

"Really?" Duduo shouted, "How are you going to save me?"

Zhang Ruxiu told Duduo about the negotiation. While the two were talking, they suddenly heard clattering footsteps outside the tent and people shouting.

A majestic voice sounded: "The dog tartar doesn't agree to my three conditions, there is nothing to talk about! I think we are giving them too much face, making them have the illusion that if we catch Chen Yuanyuan, we will hold me. Hmph, can a woman compare with Jiangshan Sheji?"

As soon as the words fell, Chongzhen opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, frowning: "You are Zhang Ruxiu? Go back and tell Shang Kexi, if you like to talk, I will send troops to attack Jinan tomorrow and tie Duoduo in front of the army. I will see him Shang Kexi, do you dare to shoot arrows and fire cannons!"

Zhang Ruxiu hurriedly got up and saluted, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, please give me ten days, and I will definitely bring King Pingnan's reply."

"In ten days, do you think that I have nothing to do all day long, waiting for you? Ten days, I can take Jinan down! Don't talk about it, it's a waste of time, come on, tie Zhang Ruxiu too. "

Zhang Ruxiu panicked completely, knelt down and said, "Five days, I only need five days!"

Li Cunming raised his eyebrows and said: "If there is no reply within five days, I will immediately send troops to attack Jinan, and before the attack, I will sacrifice Duduo's head to the flag. Go back and tell Shang Kexi that the bargaining chip in his hand is not enough, and he must be sincere in negotiating." "

Zhang Ruxiu didn't dare to neglect, got up and ran out, mounted his horse and ran towards Jinan.

In the evening, Li Cunming read a book in the tent with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Wanchun took a stack of memorials and walked to the door of the tent, glanced at the emperor, and said to himself: "Your Majesty isn't worried about Sister Yuanyuan at all?"

Hei Mudan came behind Xia Wanchun at some point and said, "Master Xiao Xia, you are wrong, you don't understand His Majesty's thoughts. Negotiations require skill, and the most important thing is not to lose to the other party in terms of momentum, otherwise you will be very passive. "

Xia Wanchun said: "So, Your Majesty still cares about Sister Yuanyuan."

"More than just caring, I have never seen His Majesty be so attentive to a woman. The night he learned of the accident, His Majesty stayed up all night, and he has been working very hard on acting these days. Oh, Chen Yuanyuan, you are so lucky!" Hei Peony sour chute.

……

But Zhang Ruxiu returned to Jinan City, and after seeing Shang Kexi, he explained in detail the process of the negotiation and the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty.

Shang Kexi frowned and said: "Is the information wrong? Chongzhen doesn't care about Chen Yuanyuan? No, Chongzhen tried so hard to rob Chen Yuanyuan, how could he not care about her life or death in the end?"

Zhang Ruxiu analyzed: "According to the officials, there is an element of acting in this. Chongzhen must care about Chen Yuanyuan, but it's not to the extent that he doesn't love Jiangshan and beautiful women. King Pingnan, we are indeed wishful thinking. With Chen Yuanyuan as a bargaining chip, Chongzhen will definitely not be tempted."

"Why did you help Chongzhen speak?" Shang Kexi glared at Zhang Ruxiu.

"I'm just telling the truth. Chongzhen's attitude is very tough. Please think again, King Pingnan!"

Shang Kexi paced around, and said after a long while: "The three conditions proposed by Chongzhen are too strict, and the matter is of great importance. This king should ask the court and the regent for orders. Actually, this king doesn't know who Wang Yi is. See There are other secrets in coming here, no matter what, we have to let the regent decide."

He hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital.

Zhang Ruxiu said: "Chongzhen only gave me five days, how should I reply to Chongzhen while waiting for the regent's instructions?"

Shang Kexi thought for a while, and said: "My king analyzed that since Chongzhen proposed to let our dynasty hand over Wang Yi, then this person must be in our hands, and the regent must know his whereabouts. The regent and Prince Yu are My dear brothers, there is absolutely no reason to refuse to save someone in the face of death. I speculate that the regent will definitely agree to Chongzhen's conditions."

"Let's do this. In five days, you go to Feicheng and tell Chongzhen that our court has agreed to the three conditions, but we just need to make some preparations. You must hold Chongzhen back and try your best to save Prince Yu's life and buy time for me. .”

On the fifth day, Zhang Ruxiu came to Feicheng again and said that the Manchu Qing court had agreed to the three conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

A few days later, Shang Kexi sent another messenger, saying that Wang Yi had been escorted from the capital to Jinan. The Qing troops in Jinan City began to evacuate, and the two sides could exchange hostages.
