Chapter 2183 Unify Youzhou

Chapter 2179: Unify Youzhou

Aguda was afraid that Bai Qi would really attack, so he quickly sent envoys to test the situation, but the Qin army responded with a firm attitude, as if if you don't give it to me, you will take four counties and one vassal state for yourself.

Dorgon could see that the Qin army did not want to fight and would not pose a threat to the Manchus for the time being. Aguda could naturally see this too, but seeing it was one thing. Whether he had the guts to hold on was another. thing.

Even if the Qin army does not attack, just the Chen Bing border can put great pressure on the Jin army.

With such a sharp knife behind his back, how could Aguda go to conquer Manchuria with confidence?

In order to avoid being attacked from both front and back and fight on two fronts, Aguda had no choice but to return four counties and one vassal state in advance, which also caused an uproar within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In order to appease the people inside, Aguda took out the imperial edict issued by Chu Ying. This was also the only imperial edict issued by Chu Ying.

With this holy decree, Aguda's move to cede territory and seek peace was no longer a sign of weakness, but an act of peace negotiation. He could sign a peace agreement with the Qin army in a fair and just manner, and blame the deceased Chu Ying for the crime of losing power and humiliating the country. on the head.

I have to say that Chu Ying's life was a tragedy. He was exploited by all parties while he was alive, and he was still being exploited even after he died.

Dorgon, who was far away in Shengjing, was naturally overjoyed when he learned that Aguda was so weak that in order to seek peace, he did not hesitate to cede four counties and one vassal state, and half of Liaozhou to the Qin army.

 He concluded that Aguda's move would definitely be spurned by all the people, and Aguda would become increasingly unpopular. He had already won half of the dispute before it started.

But when Aguda took out Chu Ying's imperial edict, Dorgon not only couldn't laugh anymore, but also spoke of suffering.

Dorgon publicly recognized Chu Ying's status and criticized Aguda with the slogan of revenge for Chu Ying. But now Aguda has taken out Chu Ying's imperial edict and said that he was acting on Chu Ying's order. What about his side? Naturally it was embarrassing.

 Approving Chu Ying's imperial edict would be equivalent to bearing the infamy of losing power and humiliating the country. After all, Chu Ying was a member of the Aixinjueluo family.

Failing to pay attention to the lesson is tantamount to admitting the fact of regicide. After all, outsiders like Aguda respect Chu Ying's orders, but you love Xinjieluo's own family but don't respect it. I don't understand why you did this regicide.

Whether Dorgon recognized Chu Ying's imperial edict or not, it was not a good thing for him, and he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

 “Chu Ying, you are a sinner of the Aixinjueluo family.”

Dorgon roared angrily, wanting to dig out Chu Ying's body and whip it.

He had long known that Chu Ying was a fool, but he never thought that Chu Ying would be so stupid as to cede four counties and one vassal country in order to seek peace. He was willing to sign such a treaty that would be humiliating and humiliating the country, so wouldn't he consider the consequences of signing it?

After venting his anger, Dorgon looked at Kangxi Qianlong: "Don't be stunned, tell me quickly, what should we do now?"

After Kangxi and Qianlong met each other, Kangxi stood up and said: "Your Highness, as things stand now, we can only take advantage of the situation."

 The implication is to acknowledge Chu Ying's imperial edict. After all, although this will make the Aisinjueluo family bear the infamy, it is better than Dorgon bearing the infamy of regicide.

Dorgon also knew that there was no other way, but he was unwilling to do so and could only curse: "It's really a disaster. Even if you die, you won't be able to live in peace."

Dorgon recognized Chu Ying's imperial edict and ordered Qianlong to go to Lulongsai as his envoy. Together with Wanyan Sheng, Aguda's envoy, he participated in the signing of the contract. Dorgon naturally couldn't let Aguda handle such a big matter as signing a peace treaty with the Qin army. He was afraid of any conspiracy between Qin and Jin, so he got involved.

Although Dorgon and Aguda accused each other of regicide and had already fought, this was an internal matter of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after all. Before the complete usurpation of the Qing Dynasty, Aguda could not completely ignore Dorgon. In that case, Qin The Qing Treaty was not worthy of its name, so Dorgon could only be allowed to participate in the signing of the treaty.

Dorgon

 Finally, the three families of Qin, Qing, and Jin negotiated in Lulongsai, and under the leadership of Qin envoy Li Hongzhang, they reached unification and jointly signed the "Qin-Qing Lulong Treaty."

The "Lulong Treaty between Qin and Qing Dynasty" has 21 major and minor agreements. The first one is that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties ceded four counties and one vassal state that originally belonged to Youzhou, totaling 44 counties, to the Qin army. From then on, the two countries agreed not to invade each other's borders.

The second article is to limit the garrison. In the border area between Qin and Qing Dynasties, the number of garrison troops must not exceed 10,000.

 The third article is that when the Qing Dynasty evacuates Youzhou, it can evacuate the Hu people from Youzhou, but it cannot take away the Han people from Youzhou.

 Article 4…

 Fifth…

 In short, although the signing of this treaty directly ceded half of the state, it did not require the Manchus to pay compensation, and it barely saved some face for the Manchus.

However, the Manchu Qing, which lost four counties and one vassal state, directly lost nearly a million Han people. This was tantamount to a major hemorrhage for the Manchu Qing. Even if it was reunified, it would be difficult to regain its peak glory.

Immediately after the signing of the treaty, Aguda recalled the garrison of four counties and one vassal country. While shrinking his troops to defend Liaozhou, he could also free tens of thousands of troops to invest in the Manchurian strategy. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

After learning that Aguda had transferred the garrison back, Bai Qi did not violate the agreement and immediately released Jin Wushu, Wanyan Honglie and others. At the same time, he ordered five generals, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui, to each lead one Ten thousand cavalrymen went to take over control of four counties and one vassal country.

There are five counties in western Liaoning and eleven counties in eastern Liaoning. These sixteen counties have not been in the hands of the Manchus for a long time, and the people were deeply persecuted by the Manchus and had great resentment. Naturally, they cheered for the arrival of the Qin army.

The Qin army basically encountered little resistance during the reception process, and it depended on the message.

There are five counties in Xuantu, eighteen counties in Lelang, and five counties in Liaodong. Among these twenty-eight counties, the shortest one has been ruled by the Manchus for more than ten years, and the longest one has been ruled by the Qing Dynasty for decades.

 The younger generation has basically forgotten their Han identity. Only the older generation still remembers that they are Han, but they do not have much say.

The people in these twenty-eight counties have become accustomed to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so naturally they did not welcome the arrival of the Qin army. The Qin army also encountered resistance during the reception process.

Of course, this resistance has basically no effect on the Qin army. Anyone who resists will be killed until they dare not resist.

 In troubled times, it is necessary to pay attention to the laws. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty can kill them until they forget their ancestors, the Qin army can naturally kill them until they remember their ancestors again.

Just ten days later, thirty-five counties were occupied by the Qin army, and most of the four counties and one vassal state fell into the hands of the Qin army.

 Youzhou, which had been divided for decades, was finally reunited.
