In the Qianqing Palace, there were not only Chongzhen and Yang Sichang, but Gao Qiqian was also kneeling on the ground with a bleak face.

Hearing Yang Sichang's complaints, Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian angrily.

"It's all useless for you to be a minion, tell you to take care of the army, why did you still ask Xin Amber to lead the troops to attack, and also, I heard that as soon as Hu Dawei and they fled back, you abandoned the army and left, what a bastard thing, what use do I want you to do?"

"Come on, drag it out and take the thirty boards seriously."

Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he kept kowtowing on the ground, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave is afraid that he can't serve the emperor, so he regrets his life so much." ”

A few pro-soldiers waiting outside the hall immediately walked into the hall, dragged Gao Qi and sneaked out to fight, and the terrible screams continued to penetrate the hall.

"The Emperor"

"Your Majesty"

Wang Chengen and Yang Sichang all looked at Chongzhen with worried expressions.

Thinking that he has cooperated well with Gao Qiqian in the past few months, and he will have to count on these eunuchs more in the future, Yang Sichang came forward to intercede:

"Your Majesty, although Gonggong Gao escaped from the battle, but the army is safe after all, a little punishment is enough, the key now is the matter of Dongyu, and please Your Majesty immediately recall Xinanbo, lest he cause some trouble."

"I'm ...... this"

Chongzhen was about to agree with a gloomy face, but he saw a little eunuch at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, constantly probing his head and squeezing his eyebrows inside, and he suddenly became angry.

"Where did the bastard come from, he dared to make trouble in the palace and dragged him out to death."

Wang Chengen turned his head to look, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and leaned up, "Master, this is under the hands of the slave, there must be something important." ”

"Hmph", Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and turned to look in the direction of the throne.

Wang Chengen scolded the little eunuch at the door in a low voice, "You rabbit cub, you dare to rush into the master, and you don't get in to talk." ”

"The slave should die", the little eunuch outside the door ran in with a frightened face, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Emperor, there is news from outside the palace, the thief chief who led the soldiers and horses into the customs has sent someone to ask for peace with Xinanbo, and Xinanbo has passed the book to play, please ask Your Majesty how to deal with it."

What?

In the main hall, Chongzhen, Yang Sichang and the others were all dumbfounded.

Dongyu took the initiative to make peace? How is this possible?

Yang Sichang didn't care about etiquette, snatched the fold in the little eunuch's hand, and laughed after a few glances.

He immediately respectfully bent down and handed it to Chongzhen, and said with great joy:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the new Amber is really Your Majesty's lucky general, so that the big thing can be decided."

Chongzhen's face was full of unbearable smiles, and his hands trembled slightly as he held Liu Ximing's recital and laughed wildly.

"Quick, go and counsel the ministers to see who to send to the peace talks."

Dongchang Mansion, Shandong.

After plundering the borders of Beizhili and Shandong for half a year, Dolgon's headquarters was already full of food.

In the past six months, the troops led by him alone have conquered one prefecture city, two state cities, and 38 county seats.

The 30,000-strong army captured more than 800,000 taels of silver, captured more than 100,000 people and countless cattle, horses, and livestock, and was preparing to continue to attack Jinan Mansion eastward after the convergence of Dongchang Mansion and Yue Tuo's department.

Who would have expected that Yue Tuo's army did not wait, but waited for a bad news.

Outside the city of Dongchang Mansion, Dolgon looked at the bloodied and wounded Niu Lu Zhang Jingsu and Tai in front of him with a miserable face.

"You said that Prince Cheng's troops were wiped out in Julu, and even Prince Cheng himself was captured by the Ming army?"

Su Hetai kept kowtowing with tears on his face, "Back to the words of the prince, this matter is true, then the master of the dog, what new Amber Liu Ximing sent back to spread the word, if you want my master to live, we have to go to peace ourselves, otherwise we ......"

"Or what?" , Dorgon shouted angrily.

"Otherwise, we will cut down all our Jianzhou warriors to make Jingguan, woo woo, prince, please save my master."

"Bastard, Yue entrusted you bastard, this is 20,000 elites, what kind of soldiers did you bring with a dog."

Dolgon yelled angrily, and the whip he had put aside whipped Sue and Taylor hard.

"Uncle Wang is angry", Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who was named Prince Heshuosu, was Dolgon's lieutenant general, and seeing that Dolgon only cared about Nasu and Taisa, he snatched the whip from his hand.

"What's the use of just taking these minions out of anger, we still have to think of a way."

"What can I think of, this is Yue Tuo, if we don't save it, do you think the Great Khan will bypass us, a fool who kills a thousand knives, eh."

Dorgon slammed his fist on his desk, his face full of resentment.

Originally, this march could be said to be a complete victory, but now that there is such a thing as Yue Tuo, the loss of the capture is a small matter, and the loss of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses is a big deal in the Ming Land.

Now listening to Su and Tai's explanation, there are still 6,000 prisoners in the hands of the army, plus more than 3,000 people who have escaped, and more than 11,000 people under Yue Tuo's men have also been killed.

Yue Tuo is the owner of the Red Flag Banner, if he and these 6,000 people are lost again, I am afraid that the people who will be inlaid with the Red Flag will hate themselves to death.

"Come, send someone to the camp of the new Amber to sue for peace", Dolgon desperately pinched the whip in his hand, and his expression was full of humiliation.

"Tell him that anything can be discussed, just to bring back Prince Cheng and all the captured soldiers."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Haoge's eyes, he was deprived of his position as the owner of the Yellow Flag by Huang Taiji a few years ago, and was transferred to the owner of the Blue Flag.

It's just that this blue flag has been weakened a lot because of Mang Gurtai's intention to rebel, and if Yue Tuo dies, he has some ideas to set the red flag, and now it is obviously impossible to see Dolgon's appearance.

On May 15, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Liu Ximing, who had defeated Yue Tuo, led his army south along Zhangshui and stationed near Weixian on the border of Beizhili and Shandong.

It was no more than a hundred miles away from Dorgon's army, making it easy to monitor and negotiate nearby.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Jiantu, Liu Ximing's coalition army established a strong camp, and in addition to the 18,000 coalition troops in the camp, there were also 6,000 hungry and dizzy Jianguo prisoners.

As for the hundreds of thousands of people that Yue Tuo and others had plundered in Beizhili and Shanxi, Liu Ximing was unable to recruit them at the moment, so he had to let them return to their hometowns on their own.

However, in order to buy people's hearts, he specially took out some money and grain from the seized materials, and distributed materials to the 120,000 people according to the standard of one tael of silver per person and one bucket of rice.

Liu Ximing still can't forget the scene at that time, more than 100,000 people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly to thank him, and the name of benevolence and righteousness of Liu Ximing of Xin'anbo also spread rapidly with the return of these people in several places such as Beizhili, Shandong and Shanxi.

However, since he has pacified the people, Liu Ximing, the coalition army under his command, cannot but express it.

For this reason, according to the standard of ten taels of silver per person, he once again issued a reward to the remaining coalition forces, and for the more than 3,000 people with outstanding performance, the reward was adjusted to thirty taels of silver, and this time it was spent more than 100,000 taels of silver.

The money and grain seized from Yue Tuo and other Jianyu this time were immediately spent.

The effect of spending a large amount of money was immediate, how could these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have ever seen such a generous official, not to mention that Liu Xi's rewards and punishments were clear, and the whole army was all in the heart for a while.

On May 16, the envoy sent by Dolgon came to Wei County, and the envoy sent by Chongzhen, Zhang Yanbin, a waiter of the military department, finally arrived in Wei County.

Now that the main lord is here, Liu Ximing is naturally not interested in getting involved in the matter of peace, he can think of this thing with his ass, even if Jianyu agrees to negotiate peace now.

What effect can the words in the barbarian's mouth play, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to completely overwhelm the Jianyu in terms of military strength one day, and one day it will suffer from the attack of the Jianyu.

Watching Zhang Yanbin and other court ministers struggle to argue with Jianyu every day, Liu Ximing suddenly thought of a word in his mind.

Stop the martial arts.

Fortunately, Liu Ximing has already laid a good foundation for the imperial court, and with Yue Tuo and 6,000 Jianzhu prisoners in hand, Zhang Yanbin is much tougher when he speaks.

The matter of negotiating peace has nothing to do with Liu Xi's life, and he basically does not need to be involved in marching and fighting.

With the gathering of the armies of the kings of all walks of life, the Ming army began to occupy the upper hand in the land of Beizhili, and the pressure on the Dolgon department also increased day by day, and they had to negotiate peace conditions with the Ming court on May 28.

The Ming released Yue Tuo and all the captured Eastern soldiers, and Jianguo withdrew from the Central Plains, and Huang Taiji promised to suspend his troops with the Ming from then on.

As for the more than 200,000 Ming people who were captured by Dolgon, Chongzhen didn't want to make more effort, but the government and the opposition were arguing violently, and in the end, he could only scrape together 300,000 taels of silver from the household department to redeem all the people.

For this reason, the household department also sent people to inquire about the seizure of the Yue Tuo department, and Liu Ximing and others naturally did not know anything about this.

What are you kidding, how can you still spit it out when you eat it.
