Xia Wanchun jumped up, grabbed Qian Qiaogong's chest and said, "Do you know how many people we have died in Danyang, Zhenjiang, and Dantu in the past two days?" I 10,000 Jianyang guards, Dantu battled, and nearly 7,000 casualties. There were 5,000 cavalry, more than 3,000 recruits, and more than 8,000 people under the command of Zhenguo Gong, and now there are less than 4,000 people left. You can die in one fell swoop, but have you ever thought that the people present and even the less than 7,000 soldiers in Dantu City are left alone, and you are sad and heartbroken? ”

Xia Wanchun's sharp questioning made Qian Qiaogong's face turn from blue to red, and then to white.

After standing stunned for a long time, he slowly fell down, knelt on the bow of the boat, faced the direction of Yizhen, and kowtowed, "Uncle Jiu, my nephew is incompetent...... My nephew can't accompany you to Huangquan, and he can't save your ....... ”

When everyone heard this, they all wept.

Wu Zheng got up, walked to Qian Qiaogong's side and said, "Are you still going?" If not, I'll disembark. When my uncle died in Jiading, I wasn't like you, I just thought it was the right thing to keep this blood and kill a few more Tartars. ”

After speaking, Wu Zheng turned around and left without looking back, preparing to get off the boat.

Suddenly, Xia Wanchun exclaimed from behind, and Wu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart.

Then he was punched heavily in the back, then kicked, and then he heard Qian Qiaogong shouting, "Wu Zheng, I'll kill you!" ”

Then, Wu Zheng didn't know.

……。

Qian Sudian didn't die, but it wasn't that he surrendered.

But Hong Chengchou arrived.

In fact, when Hong Chengchou led the delegation to Yizhen, Yizhen City had already been broken by the Qing army.

After half a day of bloody street fighting, Qian Sudian was hit by an arrow, and there were only dozens of people left around him, surrounded by hundreds of Qing troops.

The remnants of the Ming army, which fought separately, were scattered in the streets and alleys, and they could no longer pose a big threat to the Qing army.

It is only a matter of time before they are annihilated.

If you really want to kill Qian Sudian, in fact, for the Qing army, it is just a matter of bending the bow and arrow, which is as easy as a hand.

The Qingtai Dynasty can't be held accountable, after all, this is a war between the two countries.

But Hong Chengchou resolutely stopped Wu Sangui, not because Hong Chengchou had incense in his heart, how could a lackey of the Qing court like him still have incense for the Ming army?

Hong Chengchou just thinks that keeping Qian Sudian alive is a very advantageous bargaining chip in negotiations with the Qingtai Dynasty, and even unexpected results can be obtained.

As for the anger in the hearts of the Qing soldiers, this is not something he needs to consider.

Hong Chengchou ordered to force the Ming army in the city to the west corner of the city, and then surrounded it with heavy troops, and then asked Wu Sangui to send envoys to cross the river and re-mention the armistice and peace to the Qingtai Dynasty.

After Qian Sudian, who was besieged in the western corner of the city, counted, he found that the Ming army around him was only human, and almost everyone was injured.

The soldiers were fortunate to have escaped death, and they all cried when they thought of the 20,000 comrades who had been martyred, but there was one thing, their eyes were still firm, even if Qian Sudian gave an order at this time, they absolutely did not hesitate to rush out and fight with the Tartars.

……。

Wu Sangui was surprised that the Qing court would want to make peace with Qingtai after suffering such a dumb loss.

You must know that the casualties of the Qing army in Jiangbei were surpassed by the Qingtai Dynasty.

More importantly, the loss of Zhenjiang City deprived the Qing army of a springboard to the south.

But Wu Sangui thought about it silently, and he understood that he had been in a high position for many years, and this political sensitivity was still there.

Hong Chengchou's arrival made him realize that the direction of the Qing court was beginning to change.

Maybe it will be necessary to change Dorgon's iron-blooded thunderbolt method to "Huairou".

Think about it, after all, the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not large, and if you want to rule so many Han people, you still have to rely on the Han people.

If you really want to force the Han people in the whole world, how can you rule?

This is consistent with Hong Chengchou's previous opinions several times before, and at this time, Hong Chengchou went to Jiangnan, so naturally Hong Chengchou had the upper hand in the court.

And Dolgon has always been at odds with Hong Chengchou, so it is conceivable that the emperor is on Hong Chengchou's side.

This idea made Wu Sangui feel that the opportunity had come, and he had a strong resentment towards Dolgon in his heart, if it wasn't for Dolgon's rebellion, why would he Wu Sangui be in such a situation?

Before, he obeyed Dolgon's orders, which was a last resort, but now Wu Sangui decided to move closer to Hong Chengchou, so as to gain the favor of the little emperor in exchange for the right to lead the troops alone.

Wu Sangui made a special trip to set up a banquet to entertain Hong Chengchou.

How could Hong Chengchou not understand Wu Sangui's intentions?

But Hong Chengchou knew that no matter how many ministers gathered in the DPRK and China, no matter how tightly the rope was tightened, the real right to speak had to rely on the generals who led the troops outside, and the generals who led the troops needed the spokesperson of the court, so the two sides almost hit it off, they were all happy, no words, and the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance, both sides knew it.

As for the casualties and losses of the Qing army, for the two of them, they don't care about it at all, and they have the same idea - what is it to me?

……。

People's patience is actually very limited, especially for those pampered ministers of the Qingtai Dynasty.

After all, the speed of the Ming Dynasty's demise was too fast, and they hadn't really tasted what it meant to be a hard-fought war.

They are full of righteousness, but if it is really implemented on them, then it is two words.

It's not that the Wenchen of the Qingtai Dynasty wants to surrender, this point will definitely not be.

But the problem is that the Qingtai Dynasty is weak, this war has only been fought for half a month from the beginning to the present, but the consumption of the imperial court has bottomed out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are rats running in the treasury.

The 30,000 new troops came from Chen Zilong and others with a sudden pout.

The imperial court is now unable to even pay the money, and this situation is likely to be maintained until after the summer grain is taxed.

Although the Wenchen generally have a solid family background, it is really not for them to receive money for half a year, and the pressure is still very great.

Therefore, after the recovery from Zhenjiang City, many people have been "shouting" a truce, in their opinion, holding this "half of the country" is already a huge victory for Mount Tai to seal the Zen.

At this time, the Qing court sent an envoy to negotiate peace, which just fit the minds of these people, and it can be said that they hit it off.

Even Chen Zilong, who has been shouting for the recovery of rivers and mountains and the fight across the river, is no exception, but unlike those people, Chen Zilong really feels that this battle should not be fought again, and if it continues, there is no need for the Qing army to go south, and the court itself will collapse.

What do you need money for officials, soldiers, almsgiving, and repairing buildings?

Let's not talk about these first, let's just say that this battle has been fought until now, Zhenjiang Mansion has been recovered, and Yizhen's more than 20,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, tens of thousands of pensions, how much silver did they get?

Thinking about this, Chen Zilong, who is the first assistant, is already in a lawsuit.

The so-called inappropriate family does not know the high cost of firewood, oil, and salt, and only people who are not in their position can shout passionately on the street and cross the river.

Not only Chen Zilong, but Zhang Huangyan also agreed to a temporary truce, and even Qian Lesu, who did not know the life and death of his brother and only son, agreed to the truce.

Then three of the five members of the cabinet agreed, negotiated peace, and included it in the agenda of the Qingtai Dynasty.
