Things in the world are impermanent.

Hong Chengchou, who was looking forward to the arrival of 80,000 Qing troops in Xuzhou as soon as possible, and Jiergalang, who was reinstated, were actively planning and deploying to make a big move. When the Qingtai Dynasty was preparing for war, the monarch and ministers were working together to prepare for war.

An unexpected thing happened, changing the direction of the entire situation.

The Sunit tribe in Mongolia in northern desert rebelled.

Sunit Khan Tengjisi led his troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and defected to the Khalkha Chechen Khan in the northern desert.

This led to a rebellion of 30,000.

Thirty thousand people, this number is really not a shocking number for Jiangnan.

But Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only one thousand people, which is probably enough to sweep half of Mongolia.

When the Qing court heard the news, there was a fire in the backyard and it was already unremitting.

The 80,000 army that had reached halfway was urgently transferred back, and Dorgon's brother Ajige was the commander, and rushed to the northern desert to quell the rebellion.

As for the situation in Jiangbei, the Qing court had to change its strategy - Huairou!

Hong Chengchou and Jirgalang immediately agreed to the focus with the Qingtai Dynasty and strictly ordered the war that should not have happened at this time in a decent way.

Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard about this. He pulled out all the shit and then ate it back?

If Hong Chengchou could have entered Yingtian Prefecture before and negotiated with the Qingtai Dynasty on behalf of the Qing court, but now he is planning to Zhenjiang, collude with important officials of the Qingtai Dynasty, and wants to intercept and kill the Qingtai Dynasty Duke, etc., even if Hong Chengchou is not ashamed, he has to be wary of whether he will be torn apart by the angry Wu Zheng and the military and civilians once he arrives in Yingtian Prefecture.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Jiangdu is still in the hands of the Ming army. Although the Qing army in Jiangbei still has 40,000, it still seems that it is insufficient to fight a regain battle.

Hong Chengchou and Jirgalang looked at each other and were in extreme dilemma for a moment.

....

Just when Hong Chengchou and his two were in a dilemma, a secret letter from Jiangnan made their almost gloomy mood resurrected in an instant like mushrooms after a rain.

The crown prince of Chongzhen appeared, and the Qingtai court officials were plotting to launch a coup to support the former crown prince ascend the throne.

Hong Chengchou and Jirgalang looked at each other again, then burst into laughter.

In just two days, the armistice agreement was signed.

To put it bluntly, this round trip from Yangzhou Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture is not enough, right?

It can be determined that this is almost a negotiation between the two sides, and even the bargaining process is omitted.

The Qingtai Dynasty was Chen Zilong and the Qing Dynasty was Hong Chengchou.

The agreement was very little and simple and clear. The two sides immediately ceased to fight, and the Ming army withdrew from Jiangbei. In return, the Qing army gave up Jiangxin Island and then drew the river and ruled without invading each other.

As ancillary clauses, the Qingtai Dynasty shall not interfere with the Qing army's occupation of Fujian and Guangzhou in any way, in exchange for the Qing court's default on the Qingtai Dynasty's coup and continue the continued implementation of this agreement.

The agreement was signed quickly and few people knew about the court before the negotiations were completed.

In the cabinet, except for Chen Zilong, Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan, Ma Shiying was excluded.

Zhang Guowei was even more unaware of it.

But Zhu Mai knew about it and allowed Chen Zilong to sign the agreement.

The court immediately did not impose the imperial edict on the world, but secretly ordered Liao Zhongping, Zhenjiang to lead his troops to return westward.

....

Liao Zhongping received an urgent order from the court and felt something was wrong.

He is an imperial guard and is the order of the state supervisor.

It is reasonable that the cabinet has no right to mobilize the imperial guards.

But Liao Zhongping is an honest man. Since there is no war in Zhenjiang City and Wu Zheng is safe and sound, it is time for him to go back.

However, after thinking carefully, Liao Zhongping sent someone to send a letter to Wu Zheng, and left a side army in Zhenjiang City to prevent accidents, and then led his troops back to Yingtian Prefecture.

At this time, Wu Zheng was sitting next to Xia Wanchun's bed.

After arranging Zhenjiang and Dantu was on guard, Wu Zheng was still worried about Xia Wanchun's injuries and came to visit him.

"Look... look." Wu Zheng shook the map in his hand, with a certain meaning of offering treasures. "These two bastards actually made such evil things dirty on my head. I really don't know how to live or die."

Xia Wanchun chuckled and said, "But they eventually regained Jiangdu."

"If it weren't for this, could I spare these two bastards?" Wu Zheng glared, "Do you know that Wang Yilin actually claimed to be robbing Jiangdu on my order. He is the nephew of Duke Xingguo. No matter how long I, Wu Zheng, have I, may not be promoted to the Duke Xingguo Navy?"

Xia Wanchun still chuckled, "But I can't hear a hint of scolding from the words of Duke Zhenguo."

Wu Zheng was stunned and glared at Xia Wanchun for a long time. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and scolded, "Can't you turn a corner?"

Xia Wanchun suddenly said seriously: "It is indeed inappropriate to loot Jiangdu, and he should be executed according to his crimes. Fortunately, the two did not rob ordinary people, and the crimes could be reduced to one level. In addition, the recovery of Jiangdu’s important towns has the merits and demerits. If you look at it in detail, the merits and demerits will be compared, and the merits and demerits will be even better. What does the Duke of Zhenguo think?"

Wu Zheng licked his lips and slapped the edge of the bed and said, "This is what I like. These two bastards did something that made me admire him. Just by regaining Jiangdu and letting me take the blame, I admit it."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng became excited and pointed to the map and said, "Jiangdu is in his hand, which is equivalent to nailing a nail into the heart of the Qing court. It is equivalent to when Zhenjiang City was occupied by the Qing army before, making you and me toss and turn, unable to sleep at night. It is now the turn of the Tartars to sleep, haha... I thought about building a strong city, so that the city walls must be able to run horses, deploy hundreds of cannons, and the entire circle of the city walls will be built into a round shape... Well, cement and steel bars must be used to repair quickly."

"What is cement and steel bar?"

"Uh... you will know then." Wu Zheng felt abrupt and quickly changed his mind, "There is no need to garrison too much, 20,000 elite troops are enough. In this way, even if the Qing army's 100,000 troops come to attack, it cannot be easily captured within a month or two."

"What should I do if I replenish the supplies?" Xia Wanchun reminded softly from the side.

"It's not difficult." Wu Zheng was full of confidence. "Xingguo Gong had the Third Battalion of Navy. Although this time it was a little damaged, the court could give priority to supplementing it, and even form a battalion of 4,000 new Navy. Although the Qing court's military strength was far greater than our army, it could not be comparable to our army without a navy. With a navy across the river, it would not be difficult to replenish supplies to the river capital."

"The Duke of Zhenguo means to use Jiangdu as a base...the Northern Expedition?"

Wu Zheng paused and slowly calmed down, "The Northern Expedition is not the time. This war, which was less than ten days before and after, has exhausted all our dynasty, and we cannot chew it. The newly attached land needs to be consolidated. It is time to take a break."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng became excited again, "No matter what, as long as Jiang Du is in his hands, he can suppress the Qing court. If you ask for it at that time, will the Tartars dare not agree?"

Xia Wanchun was infected by Wu Zheng's excitement, so he stood up from the bed and reluctantly bowed: "If Duke Zhenguo does not abandon him, Wanchun is willing to stay in Jiangdu."
