The Shun Army insisted on going to the Qing Dynasty to be the emperor and surrendered to be the king of the country. If the Qing court did not agree, the two sides would immediately stop discussing peace and show the truth.

In order to prevent the Qing court from delaying the time, the Shun Army then officially shot a letter into the city, telling him that it must give a reply before Shen Shi three minutes. If there is no reply at that time, the Shun Army will attack the city.

At the same time, Geng Zhongming ordered his son Geng Jimao, General Xu Degong, and other generals of the Right Camp to gather red-clothed cannons to Guangqu Gate. If the Qing court refused to go to the emperor's name, they would immediately collapse the Guangqu Gate and then advance from the first town of the Huai Army.

Geng Zhongming was not worried that the Manchus would have the courage to kill his subordinates' families, because if they did that, the peace talks would definitely break down, and the secondly, they would be brutal revenge by the Shun Army.

With the actual guardian power of Beijing City, even if it can give the Dashun Army certain damage, it will eventually be impossible to avoid the fate of breaking the city.

In addition to Geng Zhongming's family, there are actually families of the King of Pingxi Wu Sangui's family. They were originally placed in Yongping Prefectures in Jingdong by the Qing court.

Last year, Gao Jie's troops broke into the capital and learned from the lessons of Shang Kexi's family being abducted by the Huai Army, the Qing court moved all the families of Wu Sangui's troops to Beijing to live, including Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan, two sons Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yinglin.

In addition to pacifying the Xi vassal state, the families of the Han army of the Gongshun clan, Kong Youde, who died in Shandong, were also in the city. However, because the Gongshun clan was wiped out, the importance of the families of these original vassal states was greatly reduced and they were regarded as ordinary Han people, rather than the people of the Eight Banners.

If the Shun Army proposed to ask for the family of Wu Sangui's army, the Qing court would never agree, because doing so would be equivalent to giving up Wu Sangui to Dashun.

But if the Shun Army asked Kong Youde's family, the Qing court would probably hand over the people without thinking. The tens of thousands of relatives of Shunfan were now burdens in the eyes of the Qing court and would not have been taken out of seclusion.

Everything is in full swing.

After Prince Zheng Jiergalang and others returned to the city from Shunying, the bells of all officials to attend court did not ring in the Forbidden City. Because the two empress dowagers had surrendered the order to be sent to Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Jiergalang, Prince Yu Duoduo and other Manchu princes and ministers, they had to report to the palace to know.

The king of the country, Jin Zhezhe, has not been concerned about the government since Emperor Taizong's reign. Now he is determined to return to the outside world to preserve the blood of the Qing Dynasty, and he hopes to successfully negotiate.

Although the Queen Mother of the Virgin Bumubutai was thoughtful, she was a woman after all. Without Dorgon's support, her influence on state affairs was insufficient. Therefore, the power of the Qing court had actually been transferred to Daishan, the leader of the king, with the resignation of the two empress dowagers.

In order to facilitate discussions with the kings of Beile and to facilitate contact with the palace, Dai Shan temporarily presided over the government affairs in Wuying Hall where Dorgon took over the country.

I heard that Prince Zheng came back and heard the news that there were hundreds of officials of all sizes and big and small to arrive at Wuying Palace, most of whom were Manchu.

The peace talks have now been completely made public. Just as Feng Quan, a Han senator who first initiated peace talks, privately "reminds" to the Shunjun side. As soon as the peace talks came out, the Eight Banners in Beijing would disintegrate people's hearts and it would be impossible to have the will to fight to the death. Even if the peace talks were not completed, the Shunjun side could also use political means to differentiate the Eight Banners, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.

What has happened was the magical "disappearance" of a large number of former Ming surrendered officials. They rang at the bell again, and these surrendered officials pretended not to hear it, just like deaf people.

The small number of the Eight Banners of the Han army in the city seemed to be beginning to make a secret. Zu Dashou, who knew that his adopted son Zu could surrender to the Shun, did not take a step forward, but there were many Han army officials who quietly went to his mansion every day.

Although the Qing Dynasty's exit from the customs was not a consolation, it was basically time for Zu Dashou and other generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty to re-submit their ancestors.

Zu Dashou had great hope and confidence in Dashun, not only because his adopted son Zu Kefa is now serving under the command of Dashun King, but also because he also has a nephew named Wu Sangui.

As long as Dashun's new Lu Chuang and Wang Zhi is competing for the title and has the heart to unify China, he will definitely treat and use his ancestor's birthday well.

The same is true in the Beijing-Han Military Officer School, so they consciously "unity" with Zu Dashou, but what they and Zu Dashou didn't know was that Zu Dashou's biological son Zu Zerun had been killed by the Shun Army in Cangzhou.

Regarding the situation in Beijing, Xifu, a senior member of the Neihong Academy of Literature and proficient in Manchu, Han and Mongolia, saw the tank. He once entered the Cining Palace after the meeting of the Prince and Ministers to discuss politics and bow to the princes and concubines, and said heartbrokenly: "Since the peace talks, the Manchus' hearts have collapsed, and they all look forward to returning to their country. Whether Gushan, Jiala or the assistants' armored people, they do not want to fight to the death."

Xifu's words are a portrayal of the reality of Beijing today. Since it can be given up Beijing to safely come out of seclusion at the cost of leaving the custody, who would have the last drop of blood for the Qing Dynasty?

...........

A fierce dispute broke out in Wuying Palace.

The reason for the dispute is whether to go to the imperial title.

Due to the situation, Prince Yu Duoduo had to agree to peace talks against his will, but he was unwilling to negotiate peace talks. Therefore, when he heard that Shunjun dared to be aggressive and asked the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to surrender and become the king, he couldn't help but say that he would hold on to Dorgon and Ajige rushed back, and even clamored for the survival and death of Beijing.

Dai Shan pondered and said nothing. Shunjun was obsessed with asking the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to take the imperial title, and even if he didn't go to the imperial title, he would not have a good deal, which made the old prince who was determined to leave the imperial title a little unsure, for fear of backfiring, which would ruin the peace talks and lead to the attack on Beijing by others. At that time, he really lost the big picture because of a small loss and didn't even take the medicine for regret.

Ning Wan, I raised his opinion on this matter. He believed that although the Shunjun was too damning, it can be seen from this matter that the Shunjun was indeed willing to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty, otherwise why should he be obsessed with the emperor's name?

Everyone nodded, and they all felt that the thief was clever and confused.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was weak and could be called the king of the country, but once they left the pass, they gathered their troops and horses, they would call the emperor, and then they could not fight with the thief.

"There are no thieves!"

The princes and princes of Manchus, Beile and the Grand Secretary, had no reason to develop a superior mentality.

However, Duoduo still shouted that the emperor must not be surrendered to the king. When the argument was so irrelevant, Prince Abatai of Raoyu made a suggestion, which was to jointly sign the royal family in Beijing and the Eight Banners Ministers to decide whether to go to the imperial examination.

Daishan and Jirgalang did not want to have a stalemate with Duoduo, and agreed to discuss with everyone.

Duoduo could not "attack" the three kings alone, so he had to agree.

Unexpectedly, it became an experiment of "democracy".

The voting result was 34 people who agreed to go to the imperial title to negotiate, and 11 people who did not agree.

The minority obeyed the majority. Faced with the choice of most people, Duoduo had to pinch his nose and remained silent, and was soon reported to the Cining Palace.

The lord and the concubine, who had been waiting for the news, called the eunuch Wu Liangfu to come and pass the message, saying: "When Emperor Taizong was there, he once said that attacking China would not be a matter of one day or one night, and he should slow down his plan. Now that China cannot take it quickly, we should go out of seclusion first and then plan again in the future."

With the "endorsement" of the two empress dowagers, the Minister of Revenue Ying Erdai left the city to inform the Shun Army that the Qing Dynasty could go to the emperor and later be called the lord of Manchukuo.

After hearing this, Lu Guangyuan, the commander of the Shun Army, was very pleased and said in front of Ying'erdai: "In the future, I will be my uncle and my uncle and nephew, and my uncle and nephew will be my uncle and nephew's family, and each will be in peace."

Afterwards, the two sides held specific consultations on the details of the clearance office and technical issues.

On the basis of sincerity between both parties, Shun and Qing dynasties held friendly negotiations, exchanged views with each other, and respected each other's opinions.

There was no problem with the route of departure. Beijing went east and went straight to Shanhaiguan and returned to Liaoyang from Guangning. Most of the troops of Shun army were evacuated along the way, and only a few personnel left the troops to "inspection" whether the Qing court returned to Shunshengjing as promised.

In front of Ying'erdai, Lu Guangyuan wrote a military order to send it to the Seventh Town outside the pass, and ordered the Seventh Town to immediately reorganize his army to Liaonan after receiving the military order, and wait for the Marquis to return to Shandong.

The Qing army also issued a military order to He Luohui, the general manager of Shengjing, ordering the Qing army outside the pass to immediately stop hostilities with the Shun army.

At the same time, they will request the emperor's decree to send envoys to the army of Regent Dorgon and Prince Ying Ajige to issue peace talks. As for how these two armies come out of seclusion, the Shun Army will discuss with the special envoys left by the Qing court again.

The Qing court proposed that the Shun Army must ensure that the road to Shanhaiguan will be given up from now on and that there will be no troops within 100 miles. Lu Guangyuan agreed in principle and said that the Qing court could send people to supervise.

During the negotiations between the two sides, Lu Guangyuan received military newspapers from time to time. Every time he read them, he looked solemn, and then made concessions in some places he could have fought for.

When the formal peace treaty was about to be signed and the letter of nationality exchanged, the Shunjun suddenly made a request to make the Qing envoy startled and angry.

The Shun Army only gave the Qing Dynasty two days to evacuate Beijing.

"In two days, you will take as much as you can, and bring as much as you can. If you stay in Beijing after two days, I will be regarded as a rebellious person and will be killed!"

"You have to agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. I'll give you two days anyway!"

Gao Jie's eyes were extremely greedy when he said this and did not hide it at all.

In two days, the court, royal family, princes and ministers in Beijing, including the Eight Banners soldiers and generals, and more than 200,000 families were evacuated. How could it be possible and how could it be too late!

Even if people can leave, how can they take things away?

The greed of the Shun Army aroused unanimous indignation among the princes and ministers of Manchus, but then voted to agree.

Because the property of the princes and ministers and the man Beile had long been packed. As long as the Shunjun side let the city gates and roads open, they could immediately return to their hometown without any obstacles.

As for the property and Han slaves, the princes and ministers were not considering much. Anyway, there were two days to bring as much as possible.

Before the two empress dowagers in the palace sent people to Wuying Palace to agree, the city had already set off a climax of a major moving house.

"Uncle said that the frogs were boiled in warm water. As long as the Tartars accepted peace talks psychologically from the beginning, no matter what conditions we put forward, they would agree."

Outside Guangqu Gate, Lu Guangyuan curled his lips and said to Xia Dajun on the side: "Uncle Dajun, do I look like a bad boy now?"

...........

In Zhuo County, Lu Si handed the Duke of Xingguo who was left in Shaanxi, the general Li Guozhao, who rushed to Gao Yigong, who was around him, and said casually: "Sun Kewang, the two adopted sons of Li Dingguo are much more capable than the Eight Kings. In just over a month, they took Gansu and Xining, forced Tang Tong to surrender, and scared Bai Guangen away. Now the Western Army has gone to three sides. It seems that these Eight Kings are better than our King of Rebellion."

After the Great Western Army headed north to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong chose the lowest difficulty to sweep the northwest first. Under the command of Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others, the 120,000 Western Army divided into three groups and plundered Gansu, Ningxia, Yansui and other places, with great momentum.

The progress was so rapid, although it was related to the fact that the generals of the Western Army were all famous generals, and it was also related to the anti-Qing of Milayin and Ding Bingdong of Ganzhou.

Mi and Ding were both religious Han people in Gansu. Ma De, who had been to Dashun from Qinzhou, volunteered to contact the two. However, after Mi and Ding rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty, they did not contact Dashun. They were willing to join the leadership of Dashun, but instead joined the Daxi Army.

The Mi and Ding Er tribes conquered Ganzhou, Liangzhou and Suzhou in succession, and killed Zhang Wenheng, Gansu Governor of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Liangchen, Gansu Governor of Gansu Governor, Mao Liang, Suzhou Deputy General, Pan Yunteng, Ganliang Dao Lin Weizao, Xining Dao Zhang Pengyi and others. Then they led the Li Dingguo troops of the Great Western Army to attack Lanzhou in the east, conquered Lintao, Hezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou in succession, and besieged Gongchang Prefecture. The Qing government's rule in Gansu was almost completely disintegrated.

The Fengjiabao, which was guarded by the Tang Tong Yu Jing, was surrounded by the Western Army general Feng Shuangli. He was originally hoping that Bai Guangen, who was stationed in Xi'an, could save him, but Bai Guangen heard that the Western Army had more than 100,000 people entered the northwest, and the Dashun Army raised troops to the east to Beijing. He was so scared that he led his troops to Huamachi overnight.

Without reinforcements, Tang Tong had no choice but to open a fort and surrender to Feng Shuangli. He was appointed as the general of Ningxia by Sun Kewang, the commander of the Western Army.

Another main force of the Green Camp in the northwest, Jiang Xiang's troops heard that Tang Tong surrendered, Bai Guangen fled, the Daxi Army swept the northwest, and the Dashun Army rushed to Beijing in the east, and judged that Manchuria would be destroyed, so they suddenly led their troops back to Datong, closed the city gate, and executed Geng Yi, the governor of Xuanda appointed by the Qing court, and claimed that he was the general openly opposed the Qing Dynasty.

After Jiang Xiang rebelled, all 11 cities near Datong responded. The anti-Qing momentum quickly affected Shanxi, Fen, Lu, Ze, Liao and other counties in southeastern Jin, and the heroes of Fen, Lu, Ze, Liao were on the way. The Green Camp general Hu Guoding gathered in Lu'an, causing disaster to Qin. There were also Yimin Chen Du, Zhang Douguang and others leading troops to conquer Zezhou. In Pingshun, there were generals Niu Guangtian sent by Jiang Guan to break the city and rob the gutters, and many men and women plundered.

The troops of the Shun Army, led troops into Shanxi from Yan'an, took the opportunity to march straight in, and a large number of scattered soldiers and bandits were recruited along the way. The troops grew to more than 30,000, and the troops were heading straight to Taiyuan.

The ancestor of the former Ming Gongshun Marquis Wu Weihua, who was hiding in Taiyuan City, was a Mongolian. After the Qing army entered the pass, he volunteered to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to seek pacification. He was appointed as the general of Shanxi by the Qing court for his merits. Later, Ye Chen's troops returned to the capital. Wu Weihua also served as the governor of Shanxi and kept monitoring the green camps of Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and other troops transferred to the northwest by the Qing court.

Now that Tang Tong surrendered to Daxi, Bai Guangen fled to Huamachi, Jiang Xiang raised the flag of the rebellion in Datong, there was Li Yuanyin's army in the west of Shanxi, who had invaded from Yan'an, and there was the "slave killing army" in the south of the Shun army who had invaded from Huaiqing. Both Taiyuan and Beijing Xun Road were cut off. Wu Weihua was frightened and decided to contact Dashun after repeated consideration and hoped to redeem his previous crimes with Taiyuan City.

Li Yuanyin received a secret letter from Wu Weihua, "please ask the Dashuntian soldiers to arrive quickly", and did not dare to neglect. On the one hand, he quickly led the army to Taiyuan, and on the other hand, he reported the matter to Li Guo, the Duke of Xingguo, who was left behind in Shaanxi.

After discussing with Shaanxi Governor Meng Qiaofang, Li Guo decided to send a letter to Li Yuanyin first to ask him to surrender Wu Weihua, first occupy the important Jinzhong town in Taiyuan, and then contact Datong Jiang Xiang to persuade him to surrender.

In his report to the regent king, Meng Qiaofang said that the Western Army was progressing rapidly in the northwest, but now we should use pacification methods to recruit the heads of the Shanxi army, especially Jiang Xiang. Otherwise, if Jiang Xiang and others turned to the Western Army, the capital would be threatened by the Western Army.

Lu Si wrote back to Li Guo and Meng Qiaofang, and there were only six words in the letter - "I understand, you do it."
