Grand Secretary Feng was definitely not aimless. The ups and downs of his life in the officialdom told him whether he could not live in his hometown for more than ten years during the Chongzhen period, and even beheaded by the Dashun Army outside the city. It all depends on whether the plan he had planned could make Fan Wencheng moved.

Mr. Feng was full of confidence in the plan he had thought about, because this plan not only satisfies Dashun, but also preserves Manchuria, which is called turning swords into jade.

With the sound of cannons, Feng Quan took his servant in casual clothes to Fan Wencheng's mansion, the leader of the Han official. In order to avoid any trouble on the road, Feng Quan and his servant did not walk on the streets, but only walked around the alleys, and did not sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse.

When passing through an alley, two cannons suddenly sounded, and then the master and servant saw a shell landing in a house not far ahead of them, and blasted the house into a hole. The shells were obviously shot in outside the city, and most of them were blown up here after being hit by the deviant force.

The servant was panicked and lying in the corner of the wall and did not dare to move. Feng Quan was also shocked, but he quickly recovered from calmness and became more determined to persuade Fan Wencheng to resolve this dangerous situation.

As I walked over, I saw many Manchu-skinned Aha running through the streets in groups.

Fan Wencheng's mansion was the house of Ran Xingrang, the former Ming Dynasty prince-in-law. This house was quite large. The Fan family brought more than 170 strong slaves and men from outside the pass to live in it.

Since being trusted by Emperor Taizong, the Fan family has been rewarded every year. Now there are 28,185 mu of land outside the pass, distributed in Shengjing, Liaoyang, Niuzhuang, Haicheng and other places. In addition to the land, the Fan family has 85 shops in Shengjing, and more than 240 houses and bannermen in various places, and as many as 1,000 Han slaves.

This is still a Han official slave who is respected. There is no need to say much about what the situation is in the prince and minister Beile on the Eight Banners.

Many Han officials privately discussed that the future disasters of the Qing Dynasty's support for the Eight Banners in the future will be even worse than those of the Zhu Ming royal family.

Feng Quan's visit made Fan Wencheng, the second son of Zhengtong, talk about family affairs, a little strange. After thinking about it, he ordered the front hall to serve tea, and changed his clothes to come to the front hall with Chengmo.

Fan Chengmo is the second son of Fan Wencheng. He is only 19 years old this year. He was elected as a third-class guard in the palace two years ago. Fan Wencheng strictly supervised Chengmo's homework and was preparing to let him participate in the imperial examination in a few years in order to achieve a correct origin.

"Fan Zhangjing, now all the gates of the capital are surrounded by the Shun Army, and there are many Shun cavalry patrolling the suburbs. The capital has no contact with the outside world. Yongding Gate and Guangqu Gate are surrounded. The empress dowager cannot send out the edicts of the regent... When the officials came, they also heard that many Shun Army came from Shanhaiguan, and the capital was afraid it would be difficult to resist."

Feng Quan and Fan Wencheng are both grandfathers, and they are not as humble as "lower-officials". However, the value of his grandfathers is incomparable to Fan Wencheng. Although he is above Fan Wencheng, he has no right to make a comment on confidential matters. Therefore, whether it is a daily cabinet affairs or a meeting between the two parties, Feng Quan regards himself as an official below the knowledge and interest.

"Zhangjing" is a unique title for Han officials outside the pass, which can show the superiority of Han officials outside the pass and superiority of them.

"Are Yongding Gate and Guangqu Gate surrounded?"

Fan Chengmo had just returned from the palace guards and was not very clear about everything outside the city. He heard Feng Quan say that the capital had already called the Shun army to surround him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"The troops from the East of the Thief came from Tianjin and captured Tongzhou. They arrived at the capital yesterday." Fan Wencheng was still clear about this matter.

"Tianjin Luo Yang's nature has a strong city to rely on, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses. Why can he let the thief enter the capital?" Fan Chengmo looked puzzled. He had discussed military affairs with several guards on duty before. They all said that as long as Tianjin could block the Eastern Army that followed the thief, the Regent returned in time, and the situation would not be as dangerous as the rumors.

Feng Quan did not answer, and Fan Wencheng did not answer. Can the Eastern Army reach Beijing directly to the city of Beijing? Is there any more to say in Tianjin?

Either it was conquered by the Shun Army, or Luo Yangxing surrendered the Shun Army.

However, neither of them had ever thought that Luo Yangxing would use 1.5 million taels of silver for the Shunjun to not attack Tianjin, or to use 1.5 million taels of silver to buy Shunjun to Beijing.

"In the second year of Chongzhen, our Qing soldiers invaded the inner city. I followed Emperor Taizong to the suburbs of Beijing. How dangerous was the Ming Dynasty at that time? However, when Yuan Chonghuan received the imperial edict to serve the king, he only left a few troops to guard Ningyuan. The remaining elite soldiers of Guanning were led by Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others to enter the pass quickly with him. They marched day and night to arrive at the capital before our army attacked the city and camped outside Guangqu Gate, so that the city of Beijing would be safe."

Taking Yuan Chonghuan as an example, Fan Wencheng believed that the Regent Dorgon knew that the capital was in danger and would definitely lead a large army to rush back at night. He could arrive at the capital in two days from Baoding, and the siege of Beijing might be lifted.

Two days ago, there was rumors in Beijing that the regent army was wiped out and people were in panic. However, in the past two days, the Shun Army outside the city did not take the captured Eight Banners officers and soldiers to the city to demonstrate, or show the Eight Banners heads to the city to shake morale and morale. This move shows that the rumors are unreliable.

Feng Quan nodded first, but then said, "The officials thought the Regent would probably not be able to come back."

"oh?"

Fan Wencheng calmly picked up the tea bowl, knowing that Feng Quan was about to get to the point.

Sure enough, Feng Quan said that the Shunding Army's Western Route Army could not let Dorgon return to Beijing, and after Geng Zhongming's rebellion, he occupied Liangxiang, the tunnel of the return to Beijing. Dorgon's army, which lacked siege equipment, could not take Liangxiang in a short time. In this way, most of Dorgon's army was trapped south of Liangxiang and north of Baoding, and could not rescue Beijing.

"......Prince Yu personally presided over the city defense, but there were only eight thousand true Manchu soldiers in the city, and there were nine gates in the outer city, and each gate could only spread a few hundred Manchu soldiers. The rest of the co-guards were all Aha armored men in the palace of the princes and princes. What's the use of? Only one battlements were spread out in three cities, and there was no grain in the capital. Now, how could they be distributed a few sesame cakes a day. After a long time, how could there be food to be distributed? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became colder, and the officers and soldiers were hungry at that time. I was afraid that they would not be interested in defending the city, and they would definitely repeat the scene when Li Zicheng entered Beijing in the 17th year of Chongzhen."

What is the scene when Li Zicheng entered Beijing? It is because each door responded and opened the door, and no soldiers resisted.

Feng Quan also said that the Shun Army did not attack the city in the past two days because its troops arrived one after another. The commander of the Shun Army wanted to contact various departments to redeploy the troops, so he only used gunfire and did not attack the city. However, when the Shun Army was dispatched with its power, the Shun Army would definitely be attacking fiercely in Beijing.

"There are no soldiers and horses in the city, no food and grass, and the third is the Manchus' minds to leave. In this situation, Zhang Jing thought how many days can this Beijing last?"

Feng Quan sighed lightly.

Fan Wencheng knew that he could not count on Dorgon's army, but the situation was unsolvable at this time and there was no solution. Seeing Feng Quan's eyes flashing, his heart moved and said, "Mr. Feng came to me just to tell Fan that the capital was about to fall and the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, right?"

"The lower official has something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Feng Quan pretended to hesitate, but Fan Wencheng naturally made him speak out.

At present, the Grand Secretary Feng actually said that Beijing would never be able to defend. Once the Dashun army broke through the city, as they said in the previous statement, the Eight Banners soldiers and their families in the capital would suffer a great disaster. Therefore, in order to avoid the Eight Banners being miserable, he wanted to ask Fan Wencheng to enter the palace to persuade the two palaces to issue an order to negotiate with the Shun army outside the city.

"Peace talk?"

Fan Wencheng was stunned for a moment, and his son Fan Chengmo was also stunned, and then said in a lost voice: "When the situation is so unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty, how can Shunjun be willing to negotiate with him?"

"As long as I go to the Emperor's name, surrender to the throne, inherit the clan from the throne, and return the capital to Dashun, the Shun Army may not disagree."
