    Begging for peace, yes, it was just a word difference from negotiating peace to begging for peace, but it showed the increasing decadence of the Manchu Qing clique.  He went to the country name and said that the courtesy returned to Jianzhou, presented the national jade seal, sent the quality, and the confession of the year  Manqing proposed a new begging and conditions, hoping to take a breath.  But in fact, the Ming army's military operations continued without any delay.  The frontline generals just detained the envoys, sent people to deliver messages to the court, and then continued to attack with their troops as if nothing had happened.  It¡¯s very simple. The Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer understands the Ming court¡¯s politics, military structure, and procedures for handling things.  Soldiers, you just execute the orders and fight your war according to the plan. Whether to negotiate a peace or when to cease fire is not your concern, nor is it something you can control.  What authority do you have to change military plans before receiving new orders from the court?  Or stop the attack without authorization?  "Besides, Zhu Yongxing had already revealed his bottom line. Apart from surrender, it was destruction. The Manchus had no other choice.  The imperial court will definitely not make any move to negotiate peace. Although begging for peace is one step closer to surrender, it is still unacceptable.  The reason is very simple. It will never give the Manchus a chance to breathe, and it will never give the Mongolian tribes the possibility of the Manchus being able to exist.  Once peace is negotiated, or the court has such intention, the Mongolian tribes will relax or even stop their attack on the Manchus.  Only by showing the determination and will to completely destroy the Manchus, the Mongolian tribes will not be at odds with each other, and the continuous defeat of the Manchus will also make the anti-Qing camp more and more powerful.  Historically, it was the successive defeats of the Ming army that caused more and more Mongolian tribes to ally themselves with the Qing Dynasty.  Being on the side of the winner is always the most realistic consideration in this world.  When the news reached Beijing, it was no surprise that Zhu Yongxing was not even interested in meeting the envoy.  They only informed the frontline generals and the Manchu envoys were released. The Ming Dynasty only accepted unconditional surrender, and there was no negotiation or begging for peace.  However, the imperial court newspaper published this incident, using the Tartars' humble words to beg for peace to boost the morale of the people.  It¡¯s called ZTE, but it¡¯s actually reinvention.  Although the name of the Ming Empire has not been changed.  But like every emerging dynasty, what they lack is not vitality and confidence.  People who have experienced painful wars, whether they are officials or ordinary people, almost all hope to solve the great scourge of the Tartars once and for all.  Although finances were tight and life was not particularly good, he was very enthusiastic about the war.  Of course, this is related to the Ming army¡¯s successive victories.  It has a lot to do with the fact that the imperial court did not increase taxes excessively.  If it were like the time of Chongzhen, the border and Liao rates were continuously increased, but they lost every battle, and were plundered by the Tatars several times in the land of Jifu. As time went by, the people would naturally become resistant.  ??In fact, for the country, from the perspective of their own abilities, ordinary people pay more than those wealthy gentry who have great wealth.  Just like when foreign invaders invaded, many prostitutes were more morally responsible than scholar-officials.  That is to say.  Although the common people have little education and are even mostly illiterate, in their simple concepts, they hope to be able to resist foreign aggression and live peacefully.  Precisely because the lives of ordinary people are not easy, their demands are not high.  You will also know how to be grateful.  As far as the current Northland is concerned, the government's relief efforts are doing its best. Although the people have rough food and have to find ways to solve some problems on their own, as long as there is no unrest.  If you are not hungry and have hope, you will be grateful to the court and the emperor.  But even for ordinary people like this, even in the past dynasties, they would never be satisfied with their small demands.  On the contrary, titles such as refugees, rioters, thugs, and unruly people are all kinds of derogatory terms.  It seems that if the people are slightly dissatisfied, they will cause trouble to the court and the country, but they rarely solve the root causes of dissatisfaction so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.  ??Is it blocking, guarding, fooling, or suppressing the common people?  Or guide, educate, tolerate, and give full play to their abilities instead of fearing the power of the people?  "Only a faint king is afraid of everything, afraid of rebellion, afraid of someone usurping the throne, afraid of -" Zhu Yongxing waved his arm vigorously and said: "From ancient times to the present, all dynasties have never prohibited the common people from owning weapons, and civilian muskets have been legalized.  It's just an upgrade of the sword. Moreover, this will be piloted in a certain area first, and then gradually implemented according to the situation in each province. "Long live, the gun is a weapon of the country, and there may be many troubles among the people."  He took an opposing attitude and remonstrated: "At the beginning of the country's decision-making, social stability is of paramount importance." "Guo Qing's words are reasonable, but he does not really understand my thinking and the steps to gradually legalize civilian firearms." Zhu Yongxing  He stretched out his hand and pressed down, considered the words, and said slowly: "Folk firearms are legal. This is just a general statement, and there are many restrictions. For example, applying for a gun must be reviewed by the government, and you must be clean and have no crime.  Records, etc., and you must swear to abide by the law before you can obtain a gun license issued by the government. Certain people are prohibited from possessing.Guns should also have strict regulations to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.  " After a pause, Zhu Yongxing continued: "As for the areas to be implemented first, I think Liaodong should be the first.  The ministers must also know that at the current speed, it will be just around the corner for Wang Shi to regain the lost territory in Liaodong.  But the Tartars retreated and the battle continued.  With hundreds of thousands of troops, if they want to fight deep into the interior, supplies and food are a big problem.  But in the land of Liaodong, there are few people in the vast land, and it is difficult to raise an army!  Only by immigrating to the border can we not only reduce the country's food burden, but also ensure the recruitment of military personnel and the stability of the land it occupies.  ¡± ¡° Long live, in addition to immigration to the border, there is also land garrison that can be implemented.  "Zhang Huangyan said: "The land in Liaodong is bitterly cold and there are worries about war. Now that the country has abundant land, who is willing to move?  " "Then we need policy guidance and encouragement.  Zhu Yongxing lowered his eyelids and said thoughtfully: "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as the conditions are attractive enough, I believe I will recruit them."  The first issue of muskets to the people in Liaodong was also based on the local environment and the risk of war.  If the Liao people had muskets back then, they would not have been massacred and enslaved by the Tartars.  " "In addition -" Zhu Yongxing smiled and looked around at the ministers, "the policy of real border immigration will also be implemented in the northwest. How can we not learn from the lessons of the virtual border loss?  " In sparsely populated frontiers, immigration has always been closely related to consolidating defense. This has successful experience in history. For example, when Zuo Zongtang led the Hunan Army to conquer Xinjiang from the west, he immigrated to the local area. Soon, "General's Western Expedition" appeared  The scene of "people from Hunan and Hunan are all over the Tianshan Mountains before people return". And the contribution of "immigrating to the border areas" has been recorded in the annals of history. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
