The changes in the battle situation are often subtle and inadvertent.

The news that Wu Zheng captured Jingjiang and approached the city of Taixing caused a lot of confusion in the surrounding counties of Taixing.

Even the Qing army in the county with the garrison automatically reinforced Taixing.

This made the front of the 10,000 Qing troops who were fighting with Wang Zhiren's division in the waters of Zhenjiang began to loosen, which is not difficult to understand, the Ming army has attacked the flank of the Qing army, Taixing is lost, the Ming army only needs a day to detour, and the Ming army will appear behind the 10,000 Qing army.

The Qing army began to show signs of panic.

Wang Zhiren's pressure on the water division in Zhenjiang was reduced, so the water division began to divide its troops and move westward to the waters of Yingtianfu.

The unintentional action of the water master really helped Jin Shanwei, who was attacking Longtan.

Lu Zhiyu and Wu Yi, who had been suffering from the lack of siege weapons, launched a fierce attack on the Longtan Pass with the support of several naval gunboats.

The situation of the battle quickly reversed, and now, it was finally the turn of the Qing army to support it.

……。

At this time, although Jilharang had not yet received Dolgon's retreat order, the news that Longtan was attacked and Jingjiang was captured by Wu Zheng had already arrived.

This time, Zierharang no longer hesitated, he understood that if he didn't retreat, he was afraid that he would really be dumplings by the Ming army.

So, while blocking these two news, Zilharang informed Tan Tai to withdraw his troops, and this time, Zilharang ordered Tan Tai to retreat in the form of a military order.

However, Tan Tai is fighting and is full of excitement, and he doesn't want to withdraw.

It is indeed understandable that Tan Tai's department is in the city, occupying the advantages of the people's houses, and condescending to Jianyangwei's archery.

And Jianyangwei only entered the first half of the city, and the second half was still outside the city, blocked by the Qing army, and it was impossible to advance or retreat.

can only use his head to force the arrows from a high place, like an eye, and he has to fight to the death with the Qing army on the opposite side.

In addition, Xia Wanchun's command is indeed not as experienced as Tan Tai, who has been in a hundred battles.

Although it was a stalemate, Tan Tai was more handy, and the casualty ratio of the two sides was also one to two, and the casualties of Jianyangwei were greater.

Therefore, Tan Tai did not take Zilharang's retreat order seriously at all.

Zilharang scratched his ears and cheeks, and there was no way.

But after all, he is an old Jianghu, living in a high temple, and he has already cultivated to become a refinement.

After thinking about it, he thought of a way to crack it, and he immediately sent someone to shoot a letter in the direction of the Ming army, suggesting that the two sides cease fighting and negotiate peace.

Liao Zhongping was stunned when he learned of the situation, although he had the emperor's authorization to make a decision on the spot, but he still didn't dare to respond to such a major event, and quickly sent someone to report to the palace.

……。

In fact, the problem lies in the blockage of information.

From the river bank to Longtan to the Yingtianfu line, it is now controlled by the Qing army.

Zilharang has received the news, but the Yixing Dynasty has not yet received the news.

Zhu Cihong, who got Liao Zhongping's report, was stunned, and then his first reaction was to yell, "Come on, come on...... Chase the eldest princess back! ”

After a period of silence, the civil and military officials who had been stranded in the Fengtian Temple for two days erupted into loud cheers, as if the Ming army had won.

Only Qian Sule, Chen Zilong, Wang Yi and others looked at each other, but this is considered a few sober people, and their views are also different.

After Qian Qianyi came back to his senses, he immediately bowed to the ground and cried out: "God bless the Ming, God bless my emperor!" ”

It attracted countless officials to shout.

Zhu Cihong also showed a smile on his face, he stretched out his hands and opened his arms and said: "All the loyalty and righteousness of the public, all the brave soldiers!" ”

Qian Qianyi replied loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Another mountain cry.

The smile on Zhu Cihong's face grew, "Zhu Qing is flat!" ”

Qian Qianyi immediately said: "Since the Qing army has the intention of retreating, Your Majesty should appoint promising ministers to form a delegation to negotiate the aftermath with Zierharang. The minister then recommended himself and was willing to negotiate with Zilharang for the envoy. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and was just about to speak, when Qian Sule stepped forward and said, "The minister thinks that this matter is not in a hurry. Your Majesty, the Qing army obviously has the advantage, but suddenly proposed an armistice negotiation, although the minister can't figure out what happened, but in a hurry to negotiate is afraid that he will fall into the trick of Zilharang. ”

Qian Qianyi retorted: "Whether it is Zilharang's trick or not, at this time, the Qing army has already invaded the capital, and at a critical juncture for our dynasty, the truce is a good thing for the court, Your Majesty and the people in the city." Did Taifu want the Qing army to besiege the imperial city? ”

Qian Sule frowned and said, "Shoufu's words are also reasonable, but we must be wary of Ji'er Harang's proposal. Your Majesty, the minister thought that an armistice was okay, but the Qing army should withdraw from the city before negotiating. ”

Wang Yi said: "I'm afraid that Ji'er Harang will not agree, now that the Qing army has an advantage, how can it spit out the meat that reaches its mouth?" ”

Seeing that with a helper, Qian Qianyi was even more energetic, and he bowed his hand to Zhu Cihong and said, "Your Majesty, Taifu's words are too self-righteous. In the opinion of the ministers, Zilharan should be replied immediately, and an armistice and negotiations should be carried out at the same time. ”

Qian Sule immediately objected: "No! Whatever the reason for Zilharang's proposal for armistice and peace talks, at least the DPRK should understand the reasons before making a decision on whether or not to negotiate. ”

Qian Qianyi said: "What does Taifu mean that he would rather trap the king and his subjects in danger than want to negotiate peace with Jierharang?" ”

Qian Sule said angrily: "Why did Qian say this? How did it ever mean that? ”

Qian Qianyi squinted his eyes and said: "If you don't negotiate peace immediately, what if the Qing army attacks again?" ”

Qian Sule said: "Naturally, we will continue to resist. ”

Qian Qianyi "hehe" smiled coldly and said: "Taifu Mo has to forget, there are already more than 20,000 Qing troops in the city. ”

Chen Zilong suddenly took two steps, blocked between Qian Sule and Qian Qianyi, and said to Qian Sule: "Taifu, I think what Shoufu said is reasonable, this battle began when the Qing army broke through the Jiang defense, that is, the battle was fought on the land of our dynasty, whether they won or lost, the people suffered greatly. Now that millions of people in the city are under the butcher's knife of the Qing army, it is a good thing that they can stop fighting a moment earlier. If it is really according to what Taifu said, only a truce and no negotiations, it is very likely that the war will break out again, and then it will be our capital that will be destroyed, and it will be our people who will suffer...... Taifu, isn't it what you and I want to make the people suffer less? ”

Qian Sule opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Cihong saw that no one objected, so he bowed his head and said: "Since Zhu Aiqing has no objections, then according to the first auxiliary request, let's make peace with Jierharang." I have only one request, and I will never cede my land and pay compensation. ”

"Your Majesty. Ministers obey orders. ”

The two sides almost hit it off, immediately ceased fighting on the spot, and began negotiations.

Even Tan Tai no longer objected, of course, the reason why he didn't object was because he learned that the Northern Expeditionary Army was storming Longtan, and he naturally knew best what the consequences would be.

Since both sides are interested in negotiating, things will be much easier to handle.
