"The capital of the Yixing Dynasty is in Yingtianfu, and the eldest princess wants to canonize Wu Zheng as the king of Wu, such a ridiculous thing, why don't you object to the first assistant?" Qian Sule hissed.

"Why should I object?" Huang Daozhou said without hesitation, "The prince has no intention of coveting the throne, why should I object?" The eldest princess succeeds to the throne, which is beneficial to the prince, why should I object? Canonization of King Wu, the prince is the beneficiary, why should I object...? ”

Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou suddenly smiled bitterly, "Taifu, Daozhou is just a person recommended by the prince, and he is said to be the first assistant, but among the cabinets, which one really convinces me?" Is it useful for me to object? ”

Qian Sule looked at Huang Daozhou and sighed lightly, "Huang Youxuan, Huang Youxuan, you today, how can you still have the style of Mr. Shi Zhai back then." ”

Huang Daozhou looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Mr. Wozi, who is known as upright, can send someone to secretly communicate with the Tartars to harm the prince, and Mr. Zhiting (Qian Sule's number), who ruined the family, didn't also abandon the Zhu family and vote for the prince, why can't I, Huang Daozhou, learn to be false and wrong...... Taifu is too domineering, right? ”

Qian Sule was stunned by Huang Daozhou, snorted angrily, and walked away.

Huang Daozhou stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Qian Sule's sleeve stubbornly, "Taifu can't go, as soon as you leave, how can I suppress hundreds of important ministers by myself?" When something really happened, how would the Taifu explain to the prince? ”

"The emperor's life and death are unknown, even the eldest princess has ascended the throne, and King Wu has been canonized with a different surname, what else is there to do?" Qian Sule shouted.

But the scolding was scolded, but the body turned back.

Qian Sule knew that Huang Daozhou's last sentence was reasonable, hundreds of officials in the court, because of Wu Zheng's strict orders, could not leave the palace, and the resentment in his heart was already strong, Huang Daozhou people really couldn't control the scene, if there was another bigger farce, I am afraid it would be really difficult to explain to Wu Zheng.

At this time, a Lihaiwei soldier hurriedly ran from the direction of Chengtianmen.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule were there, he reported: "Yu Shoufu and Taifu, the Qing court sent someone to inform our dynasty that its mission is stationed in Yizhen, and if our dynasty agrees, they can cross the river at any time." ”

Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule changed color, and the two glanced at each other, and saw the consternation in each other's eyes.

"Send someone to tell the prince." Zodiac Zhou shouted.

The Lihaiwei soldier bowed his hand, turned around and ran away.

Huang Daozhou let go of the hand that was tugging on Qian Sule's sleeve, and said proudly: "Come to think of it, at this time, Taifu is afraid that he can't leave if he wants to." ”

Qian Sule glared at Huang Daozhou, and when he started first, Huang Daozhou caught up, and the two whispered and walked towards the Fengtian Palace.

……。

When Wu Zheng passed through Yifengmen, he received an urgent report from three messengers, one good, one bad, two neutral, four major news.

The good news is that the first division of the dynasty has successfully entered the waters of Jiangpu and is waiting for Wu Zheng's order.

The bad news is that Jiangbei urgently reported that a large number of Qing troops were heading south, the number of which was unknown, and they had already broken through Baoying and Huaishu Town, and Jiang Quanyi's troops had suffered heavy losses, and they had asked for help from Chi Erhan and Lu Zhiyu, and they were retreating south at this time.

The neutral news is that the eldest princess has succeeded to the throne and the ceremony will be held in three days. The Qing embassy was already on the Yangtze River, and as long as the Yixing Dynasty agreed, it would immediately cross the river to negotiate an armistice.

Wu Zheng was almost dazzled by these four chaotic and even contradictory information.

The first water division of the dynasty entered the waters of Jiangpu, which gave Wu Zheng the confidence to fight a decisive battle with Nikan.

But the Qing army with an unknown force suddenly appeared in Jiangbei, and it had already gone south, which made Wu Zheng can't help but be afraid, and the combined strength of the three Jiangbei departments is just over 20,000, as long as one collapses, it will be a waste of previous efforts.

The problem is that it was precisely at this time that the Qing court suddenly sent a mission to negotiate an armistice.

What exactly did the Qing court want to do?

What exactly did Dorgon have in mind?

Able to quickly defeat Jiang Quanyi and force Jiang Quanyi to retreat south, the Qing army must be far superior to Jiang Quanyi's troops.

Otherwise, with Jiang Quanyi's temperament, he would have to bite the enemy's temper if he couldn't beat it, and he would never have fled south in a hurry in just one day.

So, did the Qing court want a decisive battle?

It doesn't make sense.

Although Nikan's troops still occupy the Great Victory Pass, the 120,000 army has lost nearly seventy or eighty percent to this day.

Even if the rest are the elite of the Eight Banners, it will be difficult to block the combined attack of Lihaiwei, Jingwei, and Jianyangwei, because the arrival of the sailor can quickly block the supply of Nikan from the direction of Jiangpu.

For a battle with a total of nearly 100,000 men on both sides, victory or defeat is almost a foregone conclusion, and it is nothing more than a matter of time and cost.

But why did the Qing court send a large army south on the one hand, and an embassy on the other?

Wu Zheng finally judged that the Qing court was bluffing, and to be precise, it should be Dolgon's desire to promote peace through war.

The victory in the Jiangbei battlefield was used to make up for the defeat of the Nikan tribe, so as to strive for more benefits at the negotiating table.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng also issued three orders.

He sent a rumor to the imperial court that the Qing court delegation was allowed to cross the river for negotiations, but the promised time was set for tomorrow, that is, a gap of one day was left.

Then he sent someone to send an order to Fang Guoan in Jiangyin, ordering his troops to quickly cross the river to the north, go to Taizhou to meet Jiang Quanyi, and put Chi Erhan, Lu Zhiyu, and Jiang Quanyi under the unified command of Fang Guoan.

Finally, Wang Chaoxian was ordered to immediately blockade the waters of Jiangpu, and in these waters, all ships were forbidden to sail.

Looking at Wang Yilin beside him, Wu Zheng said, "Are you still willing to fight?" ”

Wang Yilin shook his head, "The battle in my life has been fought once in Longtan, if you don't want me to follow, I can go back to the city." ”

Wu Zheng was speechless for a while, and was stunned for a long time and said: "I don't have enough troops in my hands to form an encirclement of the Qing army in Dashengguan, and the first sailor of the dynasty only came, and it is not difficult to control the waters, but it is too difficult to block the river for dozens of miles." After Nikan was slammed by Lihaiwei, it was most likely to retreat to Jiangpu, which could evade the blockade of the sailors...... So, I want to ask you for help. ”

"I have an empty earl's name, and I have no soldiers in my hands, what can I help you?"

"Uncle Ling's sailors, although they suffered heavy casualties, but after the retreat, there were no less than 3,000 people who survived, and they had rested for a long time, so they should be able to move. You are the nephew of the Duke of the Kingdom, and you were the deputy commander, so it should not be difficult to lead them. You led your troops from the west of Dinghuai Gate to the north, and cooperated with Lihaiwei to attack the Great Victory Pass...... You can also bring more than 1,000 forbidden troops and hundreds of Lihaiwei in the city, so that you can make up 5,000 people. ”

"You look down on me, it's just a group of defeated soldiers, it's hard to do anything, I don't have to miss your business."

Wu Zheng was a little annoyed, "What do you want?" Yes, I was indeed ineffective in rescuing, but I was also leading my troops to fight against the Qing army at that time, and I didn't know that the country was in trouble and didn't save it...... If you have complaints, you can come clearly, and you don't have to be so half-dead. ”
