Chapter 692: Madonna Empress Dowager Xu Lao

The ten-member delegation headed by Qian Qianyi in the Yixing Dynasty and the Qing army generals led by Jirgalang and Tan Tai reached a preliminary concept in just one hour, which was to extend "peace" from the capital to Jiangbei.

However, because Jirgalang and Tan Tai were not enough to fully represent the Qing court, nor did they have the power to make the decision on Fulin and Dorgon, the Yixing Dynasty's desire to get the Qing army back to Jiangbei and return to its pre-war state was really not achieved for the time being.

However, Jirgalang "sovereignly" promised that no matter how the Qing court made a decision, he personally agreed with both sides to obtain understanding and achieve "peace".

After all, it was Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty who fought with the Ming army in Jinzhou and Songshan, and the regent minister who was awarded the title of regent before Huang Taiji died. Although Dorgon lost his title of regent, the so-called starved camel was larger than a horse, Jirgalang's promise still dispelled a large part of the concerns of Yixing Dynasty, especially Qian Qianyi's concerns.

But there are also knowledgeable people, such as Qian Sule and Wang Yi. They directly advised Zhu Cilang, believing that a ceasefire is possible and peace talks are possible. They must think twice before signing a treaty. At least they must wait until they contacted Wu Zheng, Duke Zhenguo, and then make a decision.

Indeed, the two Dukes of Yixing Dynasty today have been seriously injured and recuperated, and have not been in contact for a month and a half. How could such a treaty concerning the country and the future should be communicated with each other?

But the problem lies in the second half of the advice.

Zhu Cilang is not stupid, but is very smart, even more sensitive than many ministers in the court.

When he was ecstatic when he first heard that Jiergalang wanted to have a peace talk, he also felt abnormal. The so-called abnormality will be a demon. Zhu Cilang was also muttering in his heart, "Wolfs don't eat meat and eat vegetarian food instead?"

But the advice of Qian Sule, Wang Yi and others made Zhu Cixuan feel another kind of crisis.

The capital was captured in less than four days, with nearly half of the capital's casualties, and the civil warriors suffered heavy casualties. However, it is undeniable that Zhu Cilang's attitude and performance are still remarkable. Now he "forced the Qing army back", causing the enemy to return without success and defending the capital. This is definitely a great merit engraved on bronze ware, and can greatly enhance Zhu Cilang's position in the hearts of his subjects.

Can this be shared with the ministers?

If you change someone, it might be okay, but you can share it with Wu Zheng again. Isn’t that helping the evil?

The strong minister suppresses the master, and it is too late to curb this matter, how can we add fire?

Zhu Cixuan did want to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, but the education he received since childhood was to focus on the balance of power, which was unforgettable.

In addition, Qian Qianyi and more than 90% of civil and military officials strongly agreed with the peace talks.

So the result is easy to think of.

With the arrival of Dorgon's order to retreat, all obstacles to peace talks have been cleared.

Jiergalang took a step back and promised to withdraw the Qing army from Yingtian Prefecture and stationed in the north around Longtan. The ownership of Longtan must be decided after negotiations.

Such "concessions" made Yixingchao feel that Jirgalang was "sincerity".

The emperor issued an order on the same day, using the chief assistant Qian Qianyi as the negotiator of the Yixing Dynasty, granting him the right to make decisions on the spot, and being fully responsible for the ceasefire and peace talks with the Qing court.

So, that night, the Qing army began to organize the retreat, but the progress was very slow. According to Jiergalang, the Qing army needed to rest and retreat at least three days.

What is surprising is that it only took six and a half hours from the time when Jirhalang shot the letter to Liao Zhongping, suggesting the armistice to the beginning of the armistice, and to the two sides reaching a preliminary understanding, the Qing army began to retreat.

The speed is so fast that it is amazing, at least it is a pity that it is unprecedented!

At dawn the next day, more than a dozen cavalrymen came out from the east and the south city gates, heading towards Zhenjiang and Hangzhou Prefecture.

Because, at this time, the news that Jinshanwei attacked Longtan and Wu Zheng captured Jingjiang and led his troops to Taixing finally entered the capital.

The Jinshan Guards fought desperately to attack Longtan for two days. With the support of artillery fire from Wang Zhiren and his naval division, they were about to capture Longtan. As a result, the Qing army vanished from Yingtian Prefecture quickly returned to Longtan.

The Kingsoft Guard had to stop the attack and retreated fifteen miles.

Fortunately, Jirgalang was still "trustworthy" and did not directly pursue the army, otherwise Kingsoft would be in danger.

What’s ridiculous is that after learning the real reason for the Qing army’s retreat, the monarchs and ministers of the Yixing Dynasty endured the bitterness that was rising to their throats and praised the emperor in unison. They all said that the emperor’s wiseness and resolved the biggest crisis of the Yixing Dynasty.

It seems that only in this way can the correctness of their previous decisions be demonstrated.

At the same time, in response to Jiergalang's request, as a reward for the withdrawal of the Qing army from Yingtian Prefecture, the Yixing Dynasty must immediately order Wu Zheng to advance against Taixing, stationed in Tun, and wait for the peace talks to be completed before making a plan.

So, the tiqi came out everywhere.

....

Wuying Hall, where the Qing army entered the pass, Regent Dorgon took the lead in the capital and used Wuying Hall as a daily meeting place.

Now, he has become the guest house for the Empress Dowager of the Virgin (i.e. Empress Xiaozhuangwen) and the young emperor Fulin to handle daily government affairs.

At this time, the Wuying Palace was so quiet that only breathing sounds were left.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and more than a dozen important civil and military officials in Manchu and Chinese knelt on the ground, and did not dare to breathe.

Although the eleven-year-old emperor has ascended the throne for three years, he is still half a child after all, and his face is pale.

He had just clamored to return to Shengjing.

After being scolded by the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother, she slowly calmed down.

The Queen Mother Bumubutai, who is already half-mooked, is still as charming as ever, and the past years have not been reflected in her face.

But to say that she is beautiful, it is different from one's own opinion.

Ranked at the end of the fifth concubine, the car was so beautiful that it could be imagined.

But now she was calm and slapped the memorial that Dorgon urgently handed over to the case, saying: "Don't you say that Prince Yu died, and they all said that they wanted to revenge the Yixing Dynasty for Prince Yu. Why did it evolve into what it is now? More than 10,000 Ming troops have attacked Taixing, and the Regent led 150,000 troops but hesitated on the north bank of the Yellow River. Prince Zheng and the General of the Conquest South finally attacked Yingtian Prefecture, but because the Ming army threatened the retreat, they had to cease war with Yixing Dynasty... Dukes, are there no one in the Qing Dynasty?"

"I am guilty." More than a dozen old men just lay down in front of a thirty-six-year-old woman, and were extremely respectful.

It is indeed understandable that Bumubutai, who was once Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, made outstanding contributions to Huang Taiji and the Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about two things. One is that if she had not restrained Dorgon, Fulin would have been unable to hold the throne firmly. The other is that without her, Hong Chengchou might not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If Bumubutai had not personally imprisoned Hong Chengchou and served Hong Chengchou for several nights, which moved Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou might have killed himself to serve the country like Chongzhen, who was moved by the Chinese and foreigners.
