PS: Thank you for the reward from the book friend "Qianluochen".

Qian Sule's consternation, in the eyes of Dolgon, Hong Chengchou and others, is another interpretation, that is, Wu Zheng may really be lying, otherwise, this matter is easy to explain, Qian Sule can explain it clearly in one sentence, but Qian Sule is hesitating.

Qian Sule was not a fool, he was stunned, but when he heard Wu Zheng say such a greeting, he subconsciously thought that no matter what Wu Zheng's intentions were, he had to cooperate.

So, Qian Sule quickly collected the consternation on his face, nodded and said: "Qian can testify, and the matter of Zhenguogong's repentance of marriage is nothing." ”

As soon as these words came out, the interpretations of Dolgon, Hong Chengchou and others were even more different, they thought that this was Qian Sule covering up for Wu Zheng, they were not interested in Wu Zheng's private affairs, and they were interested in Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong in the capital, whether they were really descending or fake?

Originally, Xinghua surrendered the army against the water, and the Qing court had arrested Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong and imprisoned, but they were not immediately executed, the reason was still in the negotiation with the Yixing Dynasty.

It's a good bargaining chip, and you can get a lot of things that you wouldn't otherwise be able to exchange.

And this is exactly the case, Wu Zheng is willing to exchange a state-Taizhou for these two people.

But now Wu Zheng's vigorous denial has made Dolgon, Hong Chengchou and others interpret different meanings, is Wu Zheng's cover-up another purpose?

Dolgon smiled and said, "It seems that the purpose of the Zhenguo Gong asking for these two people is not like he wants to rescue them, but in the eyes of this king, it seems to have other plans, right?" ”

Wu Zheng's expression changed, but it was only a blink of an eye, "The regent said with a smile, the two of them just acted on my orders, and now that the regent has seen through, there is no need to continue." Why don't you talk about how the exchange will be made, the regent? ”

This change in the blink of an eye, in the face to face, has undoubtedly fallen into the eyes of Dolgon and others, and it also confirms the conjecture in Dolgon's heart.

He exchanged glances with Hong Chengchou, and then said to Wu Zheng: "This king has already said that as long as your troops return to the south bank, this king can return these two." ”

Wu Zheng's face was embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

This promise made the faces of the officials on Yixing's side change greatly.

Qian Sule said loudly: "Wu Zheng, you can't ignore the interests of the country because of the lives of the two, if this is the case, how can the Qian family face the world again?" ”

Wang Yi, the right capital of the imperial history, also said: "Zhenguo Gong must not." Wang understands that Zhen Guogong and the two are like brothers, but this is related to the safety and survival of the court, and he can't be rash, and he hopes that Zhen Guogong will think twice. ”

This is not an exaggeration, if the Yixing Dynasty had Taizhou, it would be equivalent to expanding the strategic depth of at least two or three hundred li, and it would have had an earlier warning of the Qing court's military movements south of the Yellow River, which is by no means comparable to the current blockage by the Yangtze River.

At the same time, once Taizhou was heavily garrisoned by the Yixing Dynasty, it would also become a springboard for the Northern Expedition and an important pass to contain the Qing army.

All the officials of the Yixing Dynasty bowed their hands and said: "Wangzhen Guogong thinks twice." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned.

Dolgon, Hong Chengchou and others watched coldly and did not say a word.

After a while, Wu Zheng hesitated and said to Dolgon, "Let the regent see you smile...... It seems that my father really can't be the master and send it back to Taixing and Jingjiang...... Still, I'd love to make a deal, and the regent might as well ask for something else, how about it? ”

Dolgon raised his head and snorted, his goal had been achieved, and from Wu Zheng's reaction, he trusted his judgment more, that is, maybe Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong were not instructed by him as Wu Zheng said, this is obviously unlikely.

Because the remnants of the sailor division moved all the way from Jiangdu to Haimen, and then to Xinghua, Wu Zhengzheng was at war with Duoduo.

And Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong only led more than 300 people to cross the river to rescue Haimen, if it was from Wu Zheng's instructions, this is inexplicable by common sense.

At the same time, the surrender of these two people is not inevitable, but accidental, if it is not exhausted, I am afraid that it is impossible to surrender.

Therefore, Dolgon prefers to believe that the surrender of Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong was not instructed by Wu Zheng, but that the two really wanted to surrender.

And the reason why Wu Zheng is willing to spend a lot of money to exchange the two is not because of deep brotherhood, but because Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong have the reason why Wu Zheng has to exchange the two back.

This reason, Dolgon didn't expect it, but when Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng arrived, they had already given him the answer, that is, the new musketeers that Shen Zhiyuan practiced in front of the Taihe Palace.

This reason made Dorgon trust his own judgment even more.

He also deliberately confirmed this, that is, to exchange Taixing and Jingjiang with Wu Zheng.

Sure enough, Wu Zheng agreed.

Even if the courtiers of Yixing did not object, Dolgon would regret it, because this was not his true heart.

Dolgon said coldly: "The Duke of Zhenguo broke his promise first, which makes it difficult for this king to continue to talk about this matter...... In the entire Yixing Dynasty, the only ones who can make this king look at it are Yingtian and Zhenjiang Mansion, is Zhenguo Gong willing to change? ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "The regent deceives people too much...... In that case, there is no need to talk about it any further. ”

Dorgon snorted, "Don't talk about it. ”

The confrontation between the two main envoys made the officials on both sides hurry up to be peacemakers.

Finally, under the persuasion of officials on both sides, Dolgon finally relented, and he said: "Longtan for Taizhou, Jingjiang can be wanted, but Taixing belongs to Yangzhou Mansion and must be returned to our dynasty, which is the bottom limit of this king." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it did belong to Yangzhou Prefecture, but during the Chenghua period, one part of it had already belonged to Jingjiang, so this matter is a little unclear.

Wu Zheng also took a step back, "It's okay to exchange Longtan for Taizhou." Jingjiang is not on the north bank, so it should naturally belong to our dynasty, as for Taixing, unless Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong are exchanged. ”

This is on again.

Officials on both sides rubbed again.

Dolgon spoke again: "Taixing's ownership does not matter for the time being. This king heard that Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong practiced the shooting of a new musket in front of the Taihe Palace, and it is said that the power is far from being comparable to the firecracker in the former Ming Dynasty? ”

Wu Zheng's face twitched slightly, and said, "Shen Zhiyuan has always had a problem with big words, and the new musket has indeed improved, but it has not reached the level that the regent thinks. ”

Dorgon laughed and said, "Since you say so, what else do you want to talk about, this king can lead an army of 150,000 to the south to take it for himself." ”

This is arrogant, but no one can really object, the 150,000 army, listening to it, feels heavy.

The official of Yixing Dynasty looked at Wu Zheng with a solemn face.

Wu Zheng was blocked by his own words, choked for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Even if the musket army can't stop the regent's army, our dynasty still has sixty or seventy thousand elite soldiers, and with the Yangtze River moat as a battle, the regent may not be able to get his wish, right?" ”
