When the Ming army was at the city, Shengjing was attacked and occupied by the Ming army, and the Ming navy bombarded Shanhaiguan; Jiang Guan from Xuanda in the north rebelled, the outer vassal Mongolia rebelled, and the Tumote tribe also rebelled, bad news followed one after another, and the Qing Dynasty was surrounded by enemies.

The little emperor Fulin, who was sitting on the dragon throne of the Forbidden City in Yanjing, was so scared that he cried: "What should we do? Mother, what should we do? Yanjing cannot defend it, all the retreat routes are broken, and the Ming Dynasty is going to kill us."

The always proud Empress Dowager Bumubutai also lowered her proud head, thought for a long time, her lips stumbled a few times, and finally made a difficult decision: "It has come to this point, and if we want to save our mother and mother's life, we can only ask for peace."

"Mother, if you ask for peace, Daming won't kill us, right?" Fulin asked.

Bumubutai said, "Since we have been seeking peace, they will not harm our mother and mother. I heard that many Manchu warriors in our Qing Dynasty fell into their hands and were not killed by them. My mother believes that they will not make things difficult for us. I guess they will make our Qing Dynasty a vassal state like Korea. Your throne is gone, and you can only be a king. But now that things have come to this point, it would be great to survive. It's a pity that the great cause of the former emperor was over. Thinking about it, my mother feels very sorry for your emperor, Ahma."

"Mom, why don't you send someone to ask for peace? It's good if you can survive." Fulin said quickly.

On that day, Bumubutai sent Sony and took the Qing delegation to the Ming army camp outside the city to seek peace.

Sony arrived at the Ming army camp and was introduced into Zhao Peng's central army tent.

Seeing the Qing envoy who came to seek peace, Zhao Peng smiled and said, "You are the best for peace, and it will also save you from killing between the two armies. But after all, I am just a minister of the Ming Dynasty and cannot make a decision for the emperor. But there is one thing I can guarantee the safety of Empress Dowager Zhuang and Emperor Shunzhi. I can guarantee this. For specific matters, I need to report to the court and ask the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to decide. So, you go back and wait a few days first. Once the Nanjing imperial edict is issued, we will send envoys to the city to invite you."

After Sony and the others returned, Zhao Peng immediately sent someone to Dagukou on a fast horse, and then took the Kunxing Princess Clippers Clippers at Dagukou to return to Nanjing to report the news.

Five days later, Emperor Shaowu Zhu Cilang received the letter, and he decided to lead the army in person. So after some preparation, Zhu Cilang took his sister Princess Kunxing and took the rapid battleship of the Xie'an, which had just been in service not long ago, to Dagukou.

The emperor did not leave when he was traveling. First of all, he had to prepare various security preparations. He had to prepare a car and a rush to the front and back when he was traveling. In addition to the Jinyiwei, the Imperial Guards and the Generals, the eunuchs and civil servants also had to follow him. After receiving the letter, Zhu Cixuan prepared for three days, and then left the Nanjing Forbidden City with a rush to Xiaguan Wharf and boarded the battleship Xie'an.

The Xie An is the third Yuefei-class battleship. It has increased the displacement of more than 100 tons compared to the first two Yuefei-class battleships, and the displacement has increased to more than 1,600 tons. The ship is equipped with 104 cannons and a maximum speed of 17 knots.

The battleships that Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing were escorted out of the Yangtze River estuary and sailed north along the coastline under the escarpment of four Princess Kunxing-class frigates.

Since Xie'an's level displacement is as high as more than 1,600 tons, low side dryer, deep draft, and stable loyalty, the sailing time is very stable, and even Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e, who are not used to taking boats, did not have seasickness this time.

After three days and three nights of sailing, the battleship Xie An finally arrived at Dagukou Wharf.

Zhao Peng returned to Dagukou a day early to welcome the arrival of the Emperor Daming. When the huge figure of Xie An stopped on the dock, Zhao Peng brought his generals and the Jinyiwei to meet him.

"Shuh Mo, I can't give the whole tribute!" Zhao Peng knelt on one knee and saluted.

Zhu Cilang smiled and stretched out his hand to help Zhao Peng up: "It's all my family, why should I be so polite? Get up quickly."

"Thank you Your Majesty! I didn't expect that Your Majesty would lead the army in person. In fact, there is no need for Your Majesty to come in person. As long as you issue an imperial edict, what should you do, I should follow the edict and act according to the edict." Zhao Peng said.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "The negotiations between the Ming and Qing dynasties are of great importance, so I naturally have to lead the army to personally fight. Many things cannot be explained clearly when writing letters, so I should just say them straightforwardly in person."

The content of the previous negotiations between Zhao Peng and Dorgon, and Zhao Peng's plan to surrender the Qing Dynasty and allow the Qing army to expedition the west to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty, have been discussed with Zhu Cixuan. When Zhu Cixuan heard these plans, he knew that once these plans were successful, he would be the eternal emperor who had never come before, so he was naturally very happy to agree to Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng brought the Jinyiwei and welcomed Zhu Cilang into the Dagukou camp.

After a period of construction, the Dagukou Fortress has become a permanent castle. The top of the castle is the palace of Zhu Cilang and Princess Kunxing.

After settling down, Zhao Peng asked someone to send a letter to Yanjing, allowing the Qing government to send a negotiating mission, and the negotiation location was located in Dagukou.

While the family was sitting together for dinner, Zhu Cilang said, "Jiannu asked for peace, so let them go to the imperial title and change it to a lord who is equivalent to the prince. From then on, the Qing Dynasty will be the vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

The princely vassal state has a higher status than the Bangzi State, and the king of the Bangzi State is only at the level of a prince.

But Zhao Peng put forward a different view: "Your Majesty, since we want Jiannu to expand territory for our Ming Dynasty and fight across the west, it is too low to give a prince-level lord, and it is more appropriate to give an emperor. The Qing Dynasty praised our Ming Dynasty, but still retained the emperor's title. Fulin called His Majesty the father emperor."

Zhao Peng's consideration was that a large number of Khanate countries in the Western Regions needed to be conquered. If it was given a prince-level vassal state, it would be too low to suppress the many vassal states in the Western Regions. So I could just give it to an emperor.

From then on, the Qing Dynasty was vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but when the Qing Dynasty went to the Western Regions and fought all the way west, they were an empire. After the countries in the Western Regions were conquered by the Qing Dynasty, those countries became vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty also vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cixuan asked worriedly: "Will your beloved to Jiannu be so kind to raise a tiger?"

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "As long as the weapons are strong enough, any nomadic people or barbarians can only become able to sing and dance."

The Thunder [mercury] type firing gun has been released. As long as the steam engine is born, it can quickly advance to the metal shell and the bullet is loaded with a gun. Once the metal shell and the gun is loaded with a gun, the bullet casing rifle can be released soon. More importantly, with the metal shell, the machine gun can also appear on the battlefield very quickly.

Once the steam engine was born, it means that the Ming Dynasty entered the industrial age. In the original time and space, after the steam engine was born, after more than two hundred years of technological progress, it entered the era of internal combustion engines, then the era of electrification, and then the era of informationization.

It took thousands of years for humans to evolve from using the wind, hydraulic power and power accumulation of nature to machine power, but it took only two hundred years for the steam engine to evolve into internal combustion engines, and it took only a few decades for the internal combustion engine to evolve into electric motors. It can be said that the development of human science and technology is getting faster and faster.

Once the technology has improved, any barbarian can only sing and dance well in front of advanced weapons.

At this time, a new type of bullet was being tested in the Ming Academy of Sciences, namely the bottom expansion bomb, also known as the Minnie bomb. The reason why the Minnie bomb appeared in the original space-time was hundreds of years after the rifled rifle was born was because of the three reasons: the launching medicine, barrel material and the accuracy of the measuring tool.

Because the expansion bullet at the bottom requires a faster firing drug to expand quickly so that the bullet can match the rifle. However, the firing drug has a faster firing rate, and the requirements for the barrel will be increased. When the chamber pressure increases, the barrel will be higher, and the requirements for the barrel will be higher. This directly requires a steel barrel. The barrel becomes harder, and the machinery for processing the barrel will be improved accordingly. This series of problems makes the Minnie rifle not a simple thing.
