Yanping was the envoy of Dasu who was received in the county prince's mansion. The envoy was Yonggui, the chief commander of the Zhenghuang Banner of Manzhou Province, and Zhang Jing, the left governor of Fujian.

Yonggui was originally a member of Zhengbai Banner. During the Chongde period, Dorgon attacked Shandong of the Ming Dynasty with Dorgon. During the Battle of Songshan, Yonggui and his escort commander Yild defeated the Ming army in a row, and took advantage of the heavy rain to force into Songshan and defeated the Ming cavalry in one fell swoop. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's strong general, Cao Bianjiao attacked the Xianghuang Banner at night, and Yonggui led the troops to defeat him. After Dorgon's death, Shunzhi stripped many Niulu of the two white banners into the two yellow banners, and Yonggui became the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner. Last year, Dasu led his army to attack Jinxia, ​​and Yonggui led his own flag boat troops to defeat more than 200 Zheng's army on the Wulong River, which was the only victory of the Qing army, so Dasu relied heavily on it.

Zhang Jing was originally the prefect of Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army entered Fujian. He opened the city to surrender to the Qing Fujian Governor Tong Guoding. He was still appointed as the prefect of Quanzhou. Later, he was moved to the deputy envoy of Fujian Censorship and was promoted to the left governor of Fujian. After only after this term, he was expected to take over as the position of governor of Fujian. He did not want to change drastically. Now, let alone the position of governor, I am afraid that even the Qing officials could not be able to take over, so I felt naturally depressed.

Yong Gui and Zhang Jing brought Dasu's intention to seek peace. Dasu was willing to exchange 2.6 million taels of silver, 1,000 stones of grain, and some other materials for Zheng's army to not violate the mainland. He also wanted to discuss peace with the Qing court with the six conditions of "not removing the gift, not changing the favor, not accepting the imperial edict, not accepting the tax, not submitting the emperor, not submitting the emperor, and not asking for a title to be a king."

If Yanping was unwilling to negotiate peace and insisted on taking Fujian, Yonggui and Zhang Jing also expressed their understanding. However, Yonggui tactfully expressed Dasu's last condition, which was their bottom line, that was, he could make Fujian Province Yu Yanping. However, Yanping had to transport the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and civil and military officials in Fujian by sea, otherwise Dasu would vow to defend Fuzhou with the soldiers of the Quanmin Banners.

It is better to be broken jade than to be complete!

Dasu threatened Yanping and forced him to accept his conditions, either making peace or sending them back to the north.

After hearing this, Yanping sneered and said to Yong Gui and Zhang Jing: "My mother was insulted by the Eight Banners and died. I followed the Japanese method, cut off my mother's womb, cleansed the filth, and took it back to bury it. At that time, I had a vow to fight the Qing Dynasty all my life, and never die with you, Manta Tartars, so do you think I would agree to Dasu's conditions?"

Yonggui couldn't understand Chinese, and Zhang Jing had not translated it to him. He saw Yanping's face full of anger. He knew that Dasu's request would not be fulfilled, and he felt very frightened.

Zhang Jing was speechless. He knew that Zheng Chenggong had a deep relationship with his mother, Mrs. Weng. After Mrs. Weng was raped and killed by the Eight Banners soldiers, Zheng Chenggong used gold to cast a statue of Mrs. Weng, and used agarwood as a bed and five-color jewelry as a curtain to offer it. However, this statue was stolen by the Qing army, so the grudges between the two sides were too deep and could not be resolved at all. Dasu's idea of ​​peace talks was taken for granted.

Yanping had no intention of discussing peace with Dasu. In the past, he and the Qing court were just to gain a breath of breath. He had never had the intention of discussing peace with the Qing court. Now that Nandu has been out, Ma Fengzhi has attacked Zhejiang anyway, and the Qing army in Fujian is like a bird in a cage. He just doesn't want to lead his troops north to add icing on the cake to the scholar, so how could he give up the Fujian Province that is within his reach?

After ordering people to send away Yong Gui and Zhang Jing, Yanping and his wife Dong Xi, and the prince Zheng Jing used the meal, he ordered Liu Guoxuan to summon civil and military troops to discuss whether to go north to meet with the Taiping Army in Nandu or attack Fujian.

Yanping knew that he had not made any statements on the news of Nandu these days, which had caused confusion and concern among the generals. Many people were worried whether he was still watching the failure of Guangdong like the attack on Hao Shangjiu and not meeting with King Jin of Guangdong. Even after hearing that the vassal lords met with Dasu, generals from the north even said angrily that the vassal lords were going to negotiate peace with Dasu. If this is the case, then they would leave Jinxia and go to Nandu to go to the vassal lords.

After a few days of rumors, people were in panic. Today, the vassal lords finally had their ideas. The news spread that all the civil and military officials in Simingzhou could come, and the royal family was also represented by Zhu Hongheng, the prince of Lu.

The meaning of the royal family was very clear. He hoped that Yanping Qi's army would enter the Yangtze River and the Taiping Army, and the Zhejiang Army would join the Nandu. Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu, was disrespectful to Yongli, and knew that he could not ascend to the great treasure. In addition, he was old, so he asked the prince Zhu Hongheng to persuade Yanping, saying that after the Nandu was in the south, the King of Tang would definitely go to the Nandu to ascend to the great treasure. If the situation finally recovered to Hongguang today, he would never continue to fight with the emperor because of the throne. The implication was that Yanping did not want to rely on his own army, and then compete with the Tang Jianguo and start a new business, resulting in a corruption.

King Zhu Changqing of Huai and King Ningjing of Ningjing Zhu Shugui both supported Tang Jianguo ascended the great treasure. King Zhu Linwei of Yongxing, who had once intended to take over Nandu and supported him, also privately revealed that he wanted to go to Nandu to pay homage to his uncle early.

Zhu Linwei is the son of Zhu Yuyan, the half-brother of Emperor Longwu. Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yuyan and Zhu Yue of Tang Jianguo were both his uncles. The Longwu and Shaowu were broken, and Tang Jianguo had no sons. Therefore, if Tang Jianguo ascended the great treasure in Nanjing, he would definitely adopt one person from his nephew. In this way, Zhu Linwei would be the final candidate for the crown prince and the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days, some royal families and officials in Jinxia have visited Zhu Linwei. The former prince was very popular now.

After Yanping arrived, he asked Liu Guogan to inform everyone of Dasu's consent to make peace. When everyone heard that the vassal lord refused Dasu's conscience, they were all calm.

"It is justified that the vassal lord refuses Dasu to seek peace. Now Tadasu is a dog in trouble. If we don't beat him, it would be unreasonable." Xuan Yi's back town general Wu Hao smiled.

Zheng Tai also smiled and said, "Da Su knows that he can't defend Fuzhou, so he begged us for mercy. Hehe, I want us to let them return north. If it is spread, will my Jinxia soldiers become traitors?"

"The vassal lord will now order that the last general will be willing to lead the army to take Fuzhou and cut off Tadasu's head as a urinal!"

Chen Ba, the chief general of Yanping's personal guard, stood up to ask for battle, but everyone was stunned when they saw it, because if they attacked Fuzhou, they would not be able to go north to meet with the Taiping Army in Nandu.

Yanping saw the people's questions and said bluntly: "I have thought about it over the past few days that our army has just retreated from the Yangtze River and the ships have not been overhauled. If we go back again, we may be inconvenient on the way, and it is not easy to raise military rations. Moreover, it is not a way to use troops to go far. Therefore, our family intends to send troops to attack Fuzhou first, and then take all the Fujian province before they will decide whether to decide whether to fight or not."

Zheng Tai nodded. He also tended to take Fujian immediately. Otherwise, there would be many dreams. Once Ma Fengzhi broke Zhejiang, the Guangdong Taiping Army would definitely attack Fujian north. If Fujian fell into the hands of the Taiping Army, then the matter would be troublesome. Zheng Jun could not fight with the Taiping Army again, right? As for meeting in Nandu and serving the Tang King together, he had no attitude, so he decided by the vassal lord. His worries were from Beijing.

"The Duke of Guangdong recovered Nandu, and Shangshu Zhang was also in Nandu, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Huguang all restored the Ming Dynasty. Although we were slightly defeated in Nandu, our military strength was not greatly damaged, so the situation was really beneficial to me. Dasu didn't have many soldiers, and we were afraid of being beaten by us last year. The Taiping Army of Guangdong attacked southern Fujian several times. He had to shrink his troops and generals in Fuzhou and dare not come out. Now he was so scared that he wanted to ask me for mercy. How can we forgive him? The vassal lord set up a large army, and Fuzhou was at his fingertips, but his uncle was still controlled by the Tartars, so he must be worried."

Yanping shook his head and said, "I told my second brother that I had not received an imperial edict for one day and my father was glorious in the court one day; if I shave my hair, it would be hard for both father and son to predict. Over the years, I have always been enemies of the Qing Dynasty. In the previous period, I even entered the Yangtze River and almost recovered the Nandu. In this way, the Qing Dynasty dared not harm my father, let alone today? I dare to say that I took Fujian, and the Qing Dynasty would not harm my father, but would only treat him more kindly."

"That's true." Zheng Taishen agreed, "The Tartars are not stupid, they always have to leave a way out."

Chen Yonghua, the military officer, also agreed with the opinions of the vassal lords. He said to everyone: "It was originally a baseless place, so the vassal lords sought to seek the Eastern Frontier. Now Fujian can get it, so there is no need to send troops to the Eastern Frontier. When the morale of the army surged and the Qing army in Fujian was in panic, the vassal lords should immediately send troops to the mainland and recover Fujian Province!"

Zheng Tai and Chen Yonghua both supported fighting Fujian first, and most of the civil and military officials had no objection. Whether they went north to meet or fight Fujian, they were all for restoring the Ming Dynasty. The latter was more beneficial to the Zheng army now, after all, the Zheng army needed a lot of territory. With a province in Fujian to support soldiers, the Zheng army could truly feel at ease.

Yanping immediately issued a military order and personally led the former army of the Eastern Expedition to attack Dasu, which also brought people back to the Nandu side, saying that Jin Xia could not join the Nandu now.
