The title of King Wu does sound tempting, but Zhu Ma is very clear that a false name in exchange for Wu Zheng's support is very cost-effective.

Zhu Mai used the title of King Wu to appease Wu Zhengyi, and then used Wu Zhengyi to restrain the internal affairs.

This move was really beautiful, so that even Huang Daozhou could not continue to object.

Zhu Ma was so tired that she planned to go back to the palace to have a rest.

But at this time, Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule came together, which shocked her heart and forced herself to cheer up.

Because Qian Sule left, he went to Wu Zheng to find news of the edict in the emperor's bedroom.

Then when Qian Sule came back, but Wu Zheng did not come, which naturally brought Wu Zheng's attitude.

Wu Zheng’s attitude is very important!

However, when Qian Sule spoke, Zhu Mai realized that she had guessed wrongly.

"Report to Your Highness..."

Wang Yi immediately made a list to stop Qian Sule, "The court has decided to support His Majesty ascend the throne with the order. The throne ceremony will be held after the imperial court has chosen an auspicious day... The Taifu, please change your words."

Qian Sule bowed and changed his words: "I have reported to Your Majesty. I have received a report from Lihaiwei that the Qing court has sent an envoy to Yizhen. As long as our court agrees to a ceasefire and peace talks, the envoy can cross the river at any time."

This news made almost all officials smile and finally a truce.

On the second day after the war broke out in the early month, the Qing army's lingering fear of breaking through the Jinchuan Gate kept them secretly terrified. Now, they are finally relieved.

So, there was not even a single opponent, and everyone agreed to the armistice negotiations.

The same was true for Zhu Mei. She breathed a sigh of relief. The Qing army in the northwest was like a sword hanging on its head, which might fall down at any time. Yixingchao could no longer afford to fight. If you continue to fight, you may not have to attack the Qing army, and the court itself should disperse.

No one opposed the monarch and ministers, so they decided to quickly inform the Qing government delegation in Jiangbei and agreed to the armistice negotiations.

At this moment, the messenger sent by Wu Zheng arrived in time.

After an inspiring argument, Zhu Meiyu stood on the side of Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule.

Finally, I postpone the day one day.

....

In the early morning of June 13th.

Under Wu Zheng's personal command, the Lihaiwei, Jingwei and Jianyangwei coalition forces launched an attack on Dasheng Pass.

The troops of the three guards are actually not prevailing.

The Jingwei and Jianyangwei have all been remnants of the remnants, with a total of only six or seven thousand people.

Only Lihaiwei is established.

The victory of Guan Qing army was as high as 20,000, and it relied on the strength of Guan Pass.

But Wu Zheng had no choice. Judging from him, Dorgon wanted to bluff and from the time when he used war to promote peace, Wu Zheng made up his mind to tackle the tough bone of Dasheng Pass.

Otherwise, the subsequent negotiations will fall into an extremely passive state, and the Great Victory Pass is under the eyes of Yingtian Mansion. Once the war has not been recovered, Yixingchao may not have a day of peace. If he wants to take it back, he has to make concessions at the negotiating table.

This concession is likely to be a price that Wu Zheng could not follow. Although Yangzhou Prefecture is also a place of heavy taxes, the threat to the Qing court is still far away. It is not like Dasheng Pass to Yingtian Prefecture, which will be achieved in one day.

Wu Zheng originally wanted Wang Yilin to lead the remnants of the navy from the west to cross the river and surround the Dasheng Pass to fight Nikan's troops in an annihilation battle. At least he should have eliminated the enemy's living forces as much as possible in order to reduce the pressure on Jiangpu in the future.

But Wang Yilin's flat refusal made Wu Zheng helpless and had to give up the siege and defeat him instead, forcing the Qing army to retreat. As long as he recovered the Great Victory Pass, he would have the initiative to negotiate and Wu Zheng could barely accept it if he made a small step.

The court has agreed to a ceasefire negotiation, so time is short and there is only one day.

From the beginning of the battle, it was a battle of decisiveness.

The Ming army was a tired army, and Li Haiwei had just fought a battle of recovery under the command of Chen Sheng and took back the lost position yesterday. While tired, there was not much ammunition left, which was the disadvantage of the Ming army.

The Qing army was actually not much better. After noon yesterday, they were almost driven and beaten by the Ming army and fled for dozens of miles, but their advantage was the strength of the Great Win Pass.

In fact, Li Haiwei's musket shooting is ineffective in front of the solid city walls, and it will only be hit if any Qing soldier is unlucky and is transported to his home.

The only thing Li Haiwei can threaten the enemy on the pass is the "mortar" that can be fired in a curved manner.

But the lethality of the "mortar" is OK in field battles, and the power of attacking enemies on the pass will be greatly reduced.

After being forced back by the Qing army after several rounds of strong attacks, nearly a thousand casualties were suffered and returned in vain.

Wu Zheng finally gritted his teeth and made a decision to blow up the pass wall!

This decision has always been in Wu Zheng's mind, but Wu Zheng is really reluctant to let it go. It is easy to blow up the pass, and it is useless when it is rebuilt and abolished. Moreover, the court does not have the financial resources to repair it in the short term, which may create a potential defense hazard.

But now, Wu Zheng was forced to do nothing. Instead of letting Dasheng Pass become a bargaining chip for the Qing court at the negotiating table, it is better to blow it up.

The negotiations are not that we cannot delay, but in fact, whether it is Yixing court or Wu Zheng himself, they can no longer fight. The supply of food and grass can still be supported. The key is ammunition and silver, and the defense of troops is OK, but once they cross the river, they obviously show fatigue, just like at the end of a powerful crossbow. This is also the reason why Wu Zheng chose to defend in Jiangbei after defeating the Karkhun army, because further northward, the three troops with a total of 20,000 troops would be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, choosing to truce at this time is the common demand of the three parties.

However, Wu Zheng still considered the difficulty of repairing the city wall and set the blow-up point on the east side of Dasheng Pass, which was on this side of Yingtian Prefecture. In this way, the west side still had a defensive function.

The Ming army temporarily built a three-meter-high platform two hundred steps outside the city wall, rolling three sealed powder barrels weighing hundreds of kilograms and had been lit down the ramp toward the city wall.

At one moment, with three dull loud noises, the city wall was blown open.

The power of this explosion is not to mention the Qing soldiers around the city wall. Even the Ming soldiers three hundred steps away were shaken down by the vibration of the earth. Even the high platform just built collapsed in the explosion.

Wu Zheng seized this rare opportunity because the Qing army had no time to react.

The Ming army thus poured into the city wall gap within time.

This can be considered a breakthrough, but it is just a breakthrough.

The Qing army had more than 20,000 troops gathered at Dasheng Pass, and its military density had reached an unthinkable level.

Although the Qing army with a radius of explosion sites was almost either dead or injured, the Qing army, which came to its senses, quickly gathered from all directions towards the gap.
