Shaanzhou is the western gateway of Luoyang.At this time, under the city of Shaanzhou, the two armies of Zhou and Qing faced each other.Geng Zhongming and others stood on the city of Shaanzhou, looking westward, in the narrow valley bottom of the west of Shaanzhou, covered with the military tents of the Zhou army, countless Zhou soldiers and soldiers, shuttling in the camp, quite vigorous, but Geng Zhongming had a smile on his face.Outside the city, Zhou Jun camped and said: "The land of Luoyang, surrounded by mountains on all sides, surrounded by five rivers, arched by rivers and mountains, and the shape is better than the world."
Although Wu Sangui is fierce, he must also be hindered by this terrain. ”Lucked said: "This is the cost of me equal to Wu Sangui, talking about conditions!"
”The north of Shaanzhou is the Yellow River, the south is the big mountain Bear's Ear Mountain, Kun Mountain, the terrain is long and narrow, the Qing army holds Shaanzhou, it can be said that one man is a man and ten thousand people are not open.Now, Geng Zhongming is stationed here, and Wu Sangui is a million-strong army, and he can't use it.At this time, everyone was observing the Zhou army camp in the distance, but they saw a person, surrounded by several entourage, coming to Shaanzhou in a carriage.After a short time, the carriage came to a stop in front of the city gate, and as soon as Geng Zhongming made a look, a subordinate stepped forward, approached the city wall, leaned out half of his body, and shouted down: "Who is coming?"
”"Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, come to pay a visit!"
The attendant responded loudly.There are two ministers of state in the Zhou State, one is Sun Kewang and the other is Hong Chengchou, and Sun Kewang has no friendship with the generals of the Qing Dynasty, and the person who came should be Hong Chengchou.Geng Zhongming's face changed slightly, he glanced at Man Dahai and the others, and said in a low voice, "Let them in!"
”After speaking, Geng Zhongming led everyone to go down to the city immediately and went to the Shuaifu.In Shaanzhou City, in Geng Zhongming's Festival Hall, Geng Zhongming, who had just returned, changed into his usual clothes and sat on the throne, while Man Dahai and others sat on both sides.Although Geng Zhongming's title is not as good as that of Man Dahai and others, there are more soldiers for the two.Now Shang Kexi sits in Luoyang, and in the city of Shaanzhou, Geng Zhongming is respected.After a while, I saw a person walk in, it was Hong Chengchou."
King Huaishun, princes, I haven't seen you for many years!"
Hong Chengchou smiled and saluted everyone.Geng Zhongming hurriedly got up and laughed: "Why did Prime Minister Hong come in person!"
”Man Dahai and the others had a cold face and ignored Hong Chengchou, the defeat of the Western Qing Dynasty was manipulated by Hong Chengchou, and several people hated a capricious villain.Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "If the Great Zhou doesn't send an important minister here, how can you show sincerity, haha~" "Prime Minister Hong Cheng, please take a seat!"
”Geng Zhongming became serious.After Hong Chengchou sat down, he continued to smile and said, "King Huaishun, princes, then I will get straight to the point." ”Seeing Geng Zhongming nodding, Hong Chengchou continued: "Fang is down today, the Manchu Dynasty has gone, and the one who can win the world is either Zhao Ming or my Great Zhou."
King Huaishun and King Zhishun, as well as the princes, although they have 100,000 troops and sit on the land of Luoyang, there are Han Wei in the Warring States and Wang Shichong in the late Sui Dynasty.Because he knows that now that the soldiers of King Zhou are pressing the border, Luoyang has only one way to return to Shun!
”Geng Zhongming heard Hong Chengchou compare them to Wang Shichong, and his heart was a little unhappy, "This king knows his own situation, but why should he vote for Zhou instead of Ming?"
To tell the truth, before Zhao Ming's northern expedition, he had already sent an envoy to Xu Luoshi to Luoyang and surrender to this king. ”Luoyang has been the place of four wars since ancient times, and with the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, he can only choose one side to take refuge, Geng Zhongming deliberately bluffed and increased his value.Hong Chengchou sneered in his heart, knowing that Geng Zhongming was pure nonsense, Zhao Ming may have surrendered Luoyang, but Zhao Zamao even cut the feudal towns within the Ming Dynasty and even his own feudal state, how could he tolerate Geng Zhongming's town of Luoyang.However, Hong Chengchou did not debunk it, but said with a smile: "Zhao Ming made such a condition, but King Huaishun and all the princes did not take refuge in Zhao Ming, which shows that there are any scruples, so that everyone does not dare to surrender to Zhao Ming."
In this case, how do you think of my big week?
King Zhou and King Huaishun were ministers in the same palace, and King Huaishun did not have to worry about it at all, and he would be liquidated in the future.As for the princes of Manchuria, don't worry, taking refuge in Zhou is better than refuting in Zhao Ming in any case!
”Geng Zhongming's eyes narrowed, what Hong Chengchou meant was that Wu Sangui had also defected to the Qing Dynasty and been a traitor, the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother, after surrendering, naturally no one would talk about the former surrender to the Qing, there was no need to worry about being liquidated, and there was no need to worry about being excluded, and no one would stand on the moral high ground to point fingers at them.In fact, the Ming Dynasty is more powerful now, but the Qing army in Luoyang is unwilling to accept Zhao Ming's surrender, because he has scruples in his heart, and the conditions given by Zhao Ming are really not good, so he doesn't treat them as human beings at all.Man Dahai and the others naturally knew that surrendering Zhou was definitely better than surrendering Zhao Ming, but they didn't want to put their fate in the hands of others.Man Dahai looked at Geng Zhongming's expression, and saw that he seemed to be a little loose, so he immediately stood up and said: "I am waiting to sit in the land of Heluo, Zhao Zamao can get Guanzhong, if he takes refuge in King Zhou, there will be a barrier in Guanzhong."
Presumably, King Zhou saw this and wanted to appease Luoyang.In fact, it is not impossible to let Luoyang surrender to the king of Zhou, but there is a condition. ”Hong Chengchou smiled: "Please speak!"
”Man Dahai said: "Luoyang is subordinate to the Zhou State, but the Zhou State wants to set up a vassal state in Henan, and we respect the Zhou State as the suzerainty as a vassal state, and the Zhou State must not interfere in Henan's internal affairs!"
”Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, under such conditions, Zhou Guo would not be able to completely mobilize Henan's resources, nor would he be able to completely control Henan.A Jiang Xiang in Hedong has already dispersed the national strength of the Zhou State, and the Zhou State will not allow Henan to remain independent.Besides, with the current situation, he is not qualified to talk about such conditions.Hong Chengchou looked at Geng Zhongming and asked, "King Huaishun and King Zhishun also mean the same?"
”Geng Zhongming hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes, this is what we mean after discussion." ”Compared with being co-opted by the Zhou State, it is naturally more tempting to continue to be the emperor of the soil.Hong Chengchou bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The condition given by King Zhou is that Luoyang will be co-opted, and all the princes will enter the Zhou State as generals.Now that the prime minister has understood what you mean, this condition, the prime minister cannot call the shots, and he still needs to ask the king of Zhou for instructions!
”At that moment, everyone had a few hasty conversations, and Hong Chengchou said goodbye and left.Outside the ~~~~~~ city, on the west bank of Hongnongjian, the Zhou army camped.Wu Sangui sat in the tent, listening to Hong Chengchou's report, he couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "If the Lone King doesn't accept Luoyang, believe it or not, when Zhao Ming pacifies Nanjing, he will immediately send troops to destroy them."
Lone accepted Luoyang, in fact, to help them, how to not know what to do. ”Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "The king is going to be angry.From Yichen's point of view, Geng Zhongming actually wanted to surrender, but it was Man Dahai and others, and he wanted to talk about the conditions again. ”Wu Sangui said: "A group of remnants of the defeated generals, what qualifications do they have to talk about conditions." ”Hong Chengchou said: "If you fight, you will be honest!"
