The changes in the battle situation are often inadvertently.

The news that Wu fought to capture Jingjiang and the troops were at the city of Taixing caused considerable chaos in the counties around Taixing.

The Qing army, along with the county with garrisons, automatically reinforced Taixing.

This made the 10,000 Qing army's front that was fighting against Wang Zhiren's navy in Zhenjiang waters began to loosen. It is not difficult to understand that the Ming army had attacked the flanks of the Qing army. Once Taixing was lost, the Ming army only took one day to detour, and the Ming army would appear behind these 10,000 Qing troops.

The Qing army began to show signs of panic.

Wang Zhiren's pressure on the navy in Zhenjiang waters decreased, so the navy began to divide his troops to advance westward towards the Yingtian Prefecture waters.

The navy's unintentional action really helped Jinshanwei, who was attacking Longtan.

Wu Yi, who had always suffered from the lack of siege weapons, launched a fierce attack on the Longtan Pass with the support of several naval gunships.

The battle situation quickly reversed, and now it was finally the Qing army's turn to support it.

....

At this time, although Jirgalang had not received Dorgon's retreat order, news of Longtan being attacked and Jingjiang being captured by Wu Zheng had already been heard.

This time Jiergalang no longer hesitated. He understood that if he didn't retreat, he would be afraid that the Ming army would really make dumplings.

So, while blocking these two news, Jirgalang informed Tan Tai to withdraw his troops. This time, Jirgalang ordered Tan Tai to retreat in the form of military orders.

However, Tan Tai was fighting so hard that he was so full of fear that he didn't want to withdraw.

It is indeed understandable that Tan Tai's troops were in the city, occupying the benefits of the people's houses and condescending the archery of Jianyangwei.

Jianyang Guard only entered the first half of the city, and the second half was still outside the city. He was blocked by the Qing army, so he could not enter or retreat.

He could only come with his head and was like an arrow with his eyes, and he had to fight the Qing army opposite him to death.

In addition, Xia Wanchun's command is indeed not as experienced as Tan Tai, who has experienced many battles.

Although it was a stalemate, Tan Tai was more skillful. The casualties of both sides were also one to two, and the casualties of Jianyangwei were even greater.

Therefore, Tan Tai did not take Jirgalang's retreat order seriously.

Jirgalang scratched his head now and had no choice.

But after all, he is an old man, and he is so tall that he has already practiced to become a master.

After thinking about it, he thought of a solution. He immediately sent someone to shoot a letter to the Ming army, suggesting that the two sides cease to fight and negotiate.

Liao Zhongping was shocked when he learned about the situation. Although he had the authorization of the emperor and could make a decision at the moment, he still did not dare to respond to such a major event and quickly sent someone to inform the palace.

....

In fact, the problem lies in the blockage of the message.

From the river bank to Longtan to Yingtian Mansion, they are now controlled by the Qing army.

Jirgalang got the news, but Yixingchao has not yet received the news.

Zhu Cilang, who received the report from Liao Zhongping, was shocked, and then his first reaction was to yell, "Come on, hurry up... and get the eldest princess back!"

The civil and military officials who had been stranded in Fengtian Palace for two days burst into cheers after a silence, just like the Ming army won.

Only Qian Sule, Chen Zilong, Wang Yi and others looked at each other, but this was different among several sober people.

After Qian Qianyi came back to his senses, he immediately bowed to the ground and cried and shouted: "God blesses the Ming Dynasty, God blesses my emperor!"

It caused countless officials to shout.

Zhu Cilang also showed a smile on his face. He stretched out his hands and opened his arms and said, "It depends on the loyalty and righteousness of all the people, and on the bravery of the soldiers!"

Qian Qianyi replied loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Another mountain cry.

Zhu Cilang's smile gradually became stronger, "You guys are calm!"

Qian Qianyi immediately reported: "Since the Qing army had the intention to retreat, Your Majesty should appoint a promising minister to form an envoy to negotiate the aftermath with Jiergalang. The minister recommended himself and was willing to go to negotiate with Jiergalang as an envoy."

Zhu Cilang smiled and was about to speak, Qian Sule stepped forward and said, "I think this matter is not urgent. Your Majesty, the Qing army clearly has an advantage, but suddenly proposed a ceasefire negotiation. Although I can't figure out what happened, I am afraid that I will fall into Jirgalang's trick in the negotiation."

Qian Qianyi retorted: "No matter whether it was Jirgalang's treacherous plan or not, the Qing army had already attacked the capital at this time. At a critical moment, the ceasefire of our dynasty will be a good thing for the court, His Majesty or the people in the city. Does the Grand Tutor want the Qing army to besiege the imperial city?"

Qian Sule frowned and said, "The Chief Supervisor's words make sense, but we must be careful about Jirgalang's proposal. Your Majesty, I think the truce is OK, but the Qing army should withdraw from the city before negotiating."

Wang Yi said: "I'm afraid Jiergalang will not agree. Now the Qing army has an advantage, how can it spit out the flesh that goes into its mouth?"

Seeing that Qian Qianyi had a helper, he bowed to Zhu Cilang and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor's words are too self-righteous. According to my opinion, we should immediately reply to Jiergalang, and the truce can be carried out at the same time."

Qian Sule immediately opposed: "No! No! No matter what reason Jirgalang proposed a ceasefire and peace talks, at least our dynasty should understand the reasons and then make a decision on whether to negotiate."

Qian Qianyi retorted: "The Taifu meant that he would rather trap the king and his subjects in danger than want to negotiate with Jirgalang?"

Qian Sule said angrily: "Have you ever said this? Did you ever mean it?"

Qian Qianyi squinted his eyes: "If there is no peace talks immediately, what if the Qing army attacks again?"

Qian Sule said: "Of course, we will continue to resist."

Qian Qianyi smiled coldly and said, "Tao Fu, don't forget, there are already more than 20,000 Qing troops in the city."

Chen Zilong suddenly took two steps, blocking Qian Sule and Qian Qianyi, and spoke to Qian Sule: "Taifu, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. This battle started when the Qing army broke through Jiangfang, that is, to fight on our land. No matter what the winner won or lost, the people would suffer. Now, millions of people in the city can cease the war sooner under the Qing army's butcher knife. It is a good thing that the millions of people in the city can cease the war sooner. If they really follow the Taifu's words, they only cease the war and not negotiate, and the war will probably start again. By then, the one who will be ruined will be our capital, and the one who suffers will be our people... Taifu, can the people suffer less? Isn't it your life's wish?"

Qian Sule spoke loudly, for a long time, and couldn't say a word.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Cixuan said, "Since you have no objections, then follow the request of the Chief Supervisor and negotiate with Jirgalang. I only have one request and will never cede land and pay compensation."

"Your Majesty, wise, and others obey the order."

The two sides almost hit it off and immediately ceased to fight on the spot and started negotiations.

Even Tan Tai no longer objected. Of course, the reason why he did not object was that he learned that the Northern Expedition Army was attacking Longtan fiercely. He naturally knew the consequences that would have been the most.
