Because of this, the regent who had two banners, one white and one inlaid (the owner of the banner was his own brother), only trained 500 ironclad heavy cavalry, but in the past ten years of war, it had been reduced to only 300 men, and this was still after continuous replenishment.

Therefore, after entering the customs, Dolgon no longer used this heavy horse, because he was reluctant.

At this time, Dolgon brought this heavy cavalry, not really for Wu Zheng, but to deter the 150,000 recruits.

The 1,800 Yellow Banner Army led by Bai Yintu was also for this purpose.

The battle didn't really start in the end.

It is definitely not because the Qing court and the Yixing dynasty have successively made peace talks.

It wasn't that Dolgon was no longer ambitious, he was only thirty-seven years old at the time.

Neither Dolgon nor Wu Zheng is really the master of strict obedience.

The real reason why the fight could not be fought was that Dolgon found that Wu Zheng was ready for battle, and he was not sure of victory, and the fight was bound to form another stalemate.

And Wu Zheng is indeed overwhelmed, Hangzhou Wei has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the total strength is more than 10,000 if you count the musket battalion.

Facing Dolgon, a strong opponent, Wu Zheng also had no certainty of victory.

So, one was inside the city and the other was outside the city, with an interval of thirty miles, and they were all right.

In this regard, it also confirms the truth that peace in the world is absolutely not something that can be produced and lasting by benevolence or credibility, and that true peace can only come when a mysterious balance is reached by the balance of mutual forces.

……。

The peace talks took place three days later in the early morning.

A total of ten important ministers of the Yixing Dynasty, including Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, and Wang Yi, who came from Yingtianfu, plus Wu Zheng, with Wu Zheng as the main envoy and Qian Qianyi and Wang Yi as deputy envoys, formed a peace negotiation delegation.

It's not that the Yixing Dynasty suddenly changed his character, but that Wu Zheng was the Duke of Zhenguo and the general (awarded by the Qingtai Dynasty, but not recognized by the Yixing Dynasty), and Qian Qianyi really didn't dare to call himself the main envoy.

In addition, now that Wu Zheng is fighting to reach Huai'an, Zhu Cihong, as the son of the Yixing Dynasty, also has to express his goodwill to Wu Zheng.

What makes people speechless is that Zierharang and Tan Tai actually came together with Qian Qianyi and others.

The two armies fought in full swing, more than 20,000 people died, and the two envoys actually came together, which made people want to laugh but couldn't laugh.

The venue for the negotiations was chosen on a hill between the two armies.

The location was not chosen by Wu Zheng, but was agreed between the Yixing Dynasty and Zilharang, but Wu Zheng did not raise any objections.

Because according to the convention, the choice of place for peace talks between the two sides needs to respect the choice of the high-ranking person.

Although Wu Zheng is said to be the Duke of Zhenguo, because the title of the great general has not been recognized by the Yixing Dynasty after all, it is still much weaker than the regent and general of Dolgon.

Then there is nothing to object to when it comes to site selection.

The Qing court's envoys were also large enough, with seven people, including Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ganglin, and Yue Le, the prince of Feng'en Town, who rushed from the capital, plus Dolgon, Jierharang, Tan Tai, and Bai Yintu, a total of eleven people, with Dolgon as the main envoy, and Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou as both deputy envoys.

The place of negotiation was built by the Qing army.

Perhaps in order to set off the nobility of Dorgon, the Qing army built a wooden platform one mile square.

Each side brought 100 retinues into the room.

However, Dolgon's Shan Shan is late, perhaps the one who is always late to the high.

When Wu Zheng saw Dolgon, this was the first time the two met, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and it was not too much to say that the saber rattling was not too much.

When Dolgon walked straight to Wu Zheng, almost everyone, whether it was Qingchen or Mingchen, sweated in their hearts.

These two are the main negotiators, and once there is a stalemate, it will be the resumption of the war, which must be contrary to the wishes of the courts of both sides.

"You are Wu Zheng?" Dolgon was not angry and arrogant, this was the breath of a person who had been in the position for a long time, and he pressed on Wu Zheng.

But Wu Zheng was very calm, he was even smiling, "Exactly." ”

It was like a gentle breeze that melted away the evil aura that Dorgon had deliberately done.

Doesn't Dolgon really understand the consequences of his falling out with Wu Zheng?

No way!

How could a person like him, who had been immersed in the court for more than 20 years, not understand?

Dolgon just wanted to give Wu Zheng a dismount, but Wu Zheng couldn't get it.

"Exactly. The tone is like meeting an acquaintance on the road, and the acquaintance asks, have you eaten? Wu Zheng replied casually and ate.

It's so peaceful.

Dolgon's eyes shrunk to a thread, and he stared at Wu Zheng's eyes in silence.

Behind him, Hong Chengchou sighed secretly in his heart, this kid is much calmer than two years ago.

At that time, this kid was arrogant, and now, spitting out two words, it will make people's hearts certain, and instantly dissolve the anger deliberately created by Dolgon.

Indeed, these two words are a bit exquisite.

If Wu Zheng deliberately argues with Dolgon for a short time, and cross-examines you, you are Dolgon?

In this way, it fell into inferiority, because this was following the momentum of Dolgon, and although the two sides were hostile, today it was a peace negotiation, and the so-called respect and inferiority of the elders and the young were the etiquette that was followed on both sides.

In any case, Dolgon's age is almost twice that of Wu Zheng, and the official is there, and he is also above Wu Zheng.

Once Wu Zheng cross-examined, then at least in the eyes of people, he is ignorant of etiquette.

And Wu Zheng faced it calmly with the word "exactly", even if Dolgon wanted to attack, he was choked for a while.

"You ordered the killing of the fifteenth brother of this king?" Dolgon's eyes turned grim.

"That's right."

"The fifteenth brother of this king has been captured by you, but you insist on killing him, and you have cut off his head and hung it on the head of the city to humiliate him...... Is this the way of benevolence and righteousness preached by the Han sages? ”

This is a pit, Dolgon is right, not to mention the identity of Duoduo, just killing prisoners has already violated the teachings of the sages.

If Wu Zheng responds, it is equivalent to jumping into the pit by himself.

But Wu Zheng obviously didn't care about this, he replied: "Wu Zheng was thirteen years old and talented, originally thinking about studying and being educated by sages. It's a pity that there are robbers in the country, and as a last resort, I have to throw my pen from Rong, since Jiading, there is a lot of blood sticky on my hands, and I feel shameless to inherit the mantle of the sage. As for Brother Ling, Jiading Santu, killing my own uncle, being a son and nephew, should avenge my uncle, this is common feeling. Therefore, killing Duoduo has nothing to do with the way of the sages. ”

These words made the faces of the Han officials on both sides change, although Wu Zheng said that he was a military minister, but after all, he was born as a scholar, and he was also a showman, and it was not impossible to include him as a literati, but now, Wu Zheng openly classified himself from the ranks of scholars.

You must know that the social atmosphere at this time emphasized literature over martial arts, and even a military minister who was illiterate in big words desperately wanted to squeeze into the literati.

Even if it is a Manchurian, it is the same, after all, it has been neighboring the Ming for decades, and since the beginning of the Later Jin Nurhachi, all of them have taken the recruitment of Han literati as a national policy.
