Although it is said that the news at the court meeting will not be released to the people, it is important to remember that since ancient times, it has been difficult to hide the news from the court, because there are always people who will release the news for various purposes. Therefore, the news that Huang Taiji was going to negotiate peace with the Nanyue military also spread quickly in Shengjing, and for a time the reaction of the people was even more lively than that of the imperial court. Of course, the way the people consider the problem is certainly different from that in the imperial court, and the almost unanimous opposition in the imperial court corresponds to the general opposition and jubilation among the people.

When it comes to the Eight Banners, many people have roughly two impressions in their minds, one is "Teahouse", where the children of the Eight Banners sing "Ten Not Idle" and walk around with bird cages and cricket jars in an allegro, and the other is the passionate words of the revolutionary army, which tells us that the Eight Banners are cruel and ferocious, and they are inhumane invaders. Both of these statements are true and wrong, and they are said to be right because they both said the image of the Eight Banners in a period and a place, and if they are not right, they ignore the rest of the part.

In fact, before entering the customs, the vast majority of people in Eight Banners were victims. The war was initiated by Nurhachi, and the benefits belonged to the banner owners, who paid only endless labor and the separation of wives, as well as the high prices of goods, and even the lack of salt a few times a year.

If it weren't for the detailed records of the historical data, it would be hard for the author to believe that there would be people in the Eight Banners who would take refuge in Mao Wenlong, who was beaten by them, in order to be able to hope for a way out of this kind of suffering. Because Nurhachi once had a policy, those who have no surplus food at home will be killed! Generally speaking, everyone regards this policy as a policy of massacring Han Chinese, but the question is, how many of the Jurchens have five buckets of surplus grain? Therefore, they were also killed miserably. So, although I went to Mao Wenlong's place to dig ginseng and gnaw wild vegetables. But there are still many Jurchens who seem to have fled to Donggang in North Korea. Saying that there are Jurchen troops in the Dongjiang Army, do you believe it?

Finally, Yuan Paoshen's cannon killed Nurhachi nearly a year later, and Huang Taiji came to power to take power. Policies were relaxed and production was developed, so the situation gradually improved.

Several raids and looting have yielded great gains. Although it is said that according to the Eight Banners system, the spoils of war are to be handed over to the public and then distributed according to the official rank, but the good point makes everyone see hope. Although the price of goods is still high, the family finally has some gold and silver to buy food, right?

But the tree wants to be quiet, and soon the Songjin War broke out, and the people were once again made miserable by the requisition of grain, and the soldiers on the battlefield could only gnaw sorghum dumplings, you can imagine what day it is in the rear. Not to mention, at the end of the war, the hateful Shi Lang and Wu Sangui attacked southern Liaoning. Countless villages have been urbanized into ashes, and the captives have been matted in batches, and the flesh and blood on the road are blurred. If it weren't for the manifestation of Fokulun, I was afraid that Liaodong would be killed in vain. If the fight continues, it will only be the common people who will suffer, and it will only be the banner owner who will be unlucky when it comes to peace. In this case, what reason do the people of the Eight Banners have to fight the war? Therefore. After the news spread, the Eight Banners in Shengjing City were jubilant. If you weren't cautious, you wouldn't want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

And with that, there is a loss of interest in rush buying. Although many people have no shortage of firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, they also decided to boil it for a few days when they heard the news. They gathered together and talked happily about the future if they could trade normally. Whether he went to the mountains to pick pine nuts or continued to dig red and blue flowers, and those who had beaten the Saurons said that they wanted to hunt, because those barbarians had made a fortune hunting, and they were better at hunting other barbarians, so why not make a profit.

In the face of this drastic change. The scalpers began to sit still, you know, their money is the master's, if they make it, everything is easy to say, they can divide it, if they lose it...... Scalpers don't dare to think about it anymore.

The anxious scalpers began to ask their respective masters for instructions, hoping that the punishment would be lighter, but they didn't expect the news from above to be very strange, and they didn't say that they wanted to kill their heads, but told them to immediately find a way to cash out the materials, and then continue to hoard materials as much as possible, waiting for the next rise.

In order to reassure the scalpers, the masters even praised them, encouraged them to keep up their efforts, and assured them that within ten days, the price would rise again, and these days, they just had to eat inside. In the future, if they lose money, they will not be responsible, but if there are not enough foodies, they will be killed.

The scalpers were confused when they heard this order, but they didn't dare to talk back, so they went down to carry it out. They left, but there was one person who couldn't sit still although he was not a scalper, and this person was Cao Jueluo.

Since the Battle of Tashan, Lao Cao can be regarded as a spring breeze, the official has been promoted, there are more minions, and Dolgon has supported him, this small life, not to mention how beautiful it is. Although it has not yet reached the level of two taels of silver, a tea egg, and more than a dozen chickens to get eggplants, it is not inferior to the living standards of the princes in the past: the big and small Fujin are all wrapped in silk, full of pearls and emeralds, and when eating, there are cups and plates, cold meat, hot stir-frying, roasted yellow and two wines.

Some time ago, prices skyrocketed, and he also took out a lot of silver to mix it, and it didn't take much effort to double the silver in his pocket. But I don't know what's going on recently, first the emperor announced that he would negotiate peace with the Nanyue army, and then prices began to fall, of course, if he retreated now, he would still make money. But the problem is that now that the master has asked him to continue to invest money, he doesn't understand it very well. In addition, more important than this, whether this discussion is reliable or not, others are easy to say, Cao Jueluo did not forget that he injured Li Huamei with one shot, and this matter is now unknown to no one in the entire Qing Dynasty! If the county lord still remembers herself after the peace...... Cao Jueluo didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he seemed to have felt the knife cut on him.

Therefore, Cao Jueluo decided to talk to his master Dolgon, but fortunately, Dolgon seemed to be in a good mood today and met Cao Zhenyan. After kneeling down and asking Ankou to be a slave, Cao Zhenyan went straight to the point and expressed his intentions, and Dolgon smiled and said: "Cao Jueluo, you are brave and fearless on the battlefield, why did you become a girl when you got off the battlefield?" Today, this king will give you a sentence, your silver dollar, one is indispensable, not only indispensable, but also a lot more! Go back and quietly expand the vault of silver in your kennel by three more, and if you don't make enough money, the king will reward you with the amount you don't have! As for the negotiation of peace, this king can give you a secret. Yes, but it can't be done, because no one in the Eight Banners will agree. After speaking, Dolgon took out a document and said to Cao Zhenyan: "This is a draft of the terms of peace, and this king also took a lot of effort to get it, you see." Which of the Eight Banners can agree to this condition? ”

"In order to relieve the people's war and suffering, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji and the governor of the Southern Guangdong Army, Shandong, Denglai and other places of soldiers, horses, money, grain, and Tuntian, after formal negotiations, concluded the following treaty: 1. From the signing of the treaty, Huang Taiji went to usurp the emperor's honorific title, the Southern Guangdong Army stopped all raids and harassment in southern Liaoning, and the Qing Dynasty also stopped any raids and harassments, and in the event of a conflict, they were responsible for arresting those responsible. 2. Liaodong should begin to reduce its troops from the date of the signing of the treaty. With the exception of the 20,000 military personnel necessary to maintain self-defense, all others were to be disbanded. The original Eight Banners system was abolished, and all the identities of Baoyi Aha Banner Ding and Yu Ding were abolished, all of whom were the people of the Ming Dynasty. 3. Liaodong should practice the principle of free trade, abandon all inland customs and not collect taxes privately, and only allow 3 percent tariffs to be collected at the customs. This income will also be supervised by the Nanyue Army and used for people's livelihood. No misappropriation is allowed. 4. The original pseudo-official titles granted and received privately shall be cancelled, and the relevant personnel shall remain in office for three years temporarily. After three years, all false officials will be abolished. Subsequent titles will be determined by the individual's contribution to peacebuilding, and will be assessed according to the standards of the Nanyue Army. If the assessment is excellent, you can naturally stay and be promoted, if you fail the assessment. will be dismissed. ”

Cao Zhenyan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this contract, and he didn't care about the money, so he knelt down directly in front of Dolgon and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, you can't just surrender to the Southern Barbarians." If this is the case, the Qing Dynasty will be over. ”

The establishment of the Eight Banners was canceled, and there were only 20,000 soldiers left! Moreover, after the signing of the peace treaty, the master is no longer the master, the slave is no longer a slave, and the official titles of officials at all levels have been abolished, and they can only serve there as a stay for three years, and after three years, what virtue is not known. This is clearly the basis for fundamentally canceling the existence of the Eight Banners!

Seeing this, Dolgon was also full of emotion, he helped Cao Zhenyan up, and also choked up and said, "You are really a good minion, get up quickly." Don't worry, I have your master! This king will go to the palace gate tomorrow to kneel down and beg, so that the emperor must give an explanation to the Eight Banners. It's a big deal, the emperor killed this king, even so, he can't let the southern barbarians get his way. Cao Zhenyan wiped his tears and said: "Master, if you want to die, the slave will die with you, and the slave will go to the palace gate early tomorrow morning to plead to the emperor, and the emperor will not give the slaves an explanation, the slave, the slave, the slave will pull the artillery team out and turn it around!" Dolgon comforted Cao Zhenyan again before sending him away.

When Cao Zhenyan left, Duoduo turned out from behind the screen, and then said with a smile: "Second brother, I really fucking admire you, in less than two hours, you have been crying twenty fucking times, where do you get so many tears?" Up and down these eight banners, regardless of Mongolia, Manchuria or the Han army, so many people have to block the palace gate, don't make the dead fat man angry to death, I still want to watch him die slowly! Come on, come on, second brother, please drink tea, don't cry for a while when there are no tears! With that, Duoduo squeezed his eyebrows and took a cup of tea brewed with pre-rain tea.

"Duoduo, have you forgotten, our good starling asked the whole of the Eight Banners to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how did Liu Bei's country come about? Isn't it just that you have to cry loudly when it's time to cry! ”

The two looked at each other, and they both laughed.

When the bones of my Eight Banners soldiers are not cold, I will make peace with the enemy! As this untrue and untrue peace condition began to spread within the Eight Banners at the speed of the spread of the virus, the long-brewing contradictions within the Eight Banners began to erupt under the impetus of someone intentionally or unintentionally.

The next day, outside the gate of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, there were gongs and drums, firecrackers and flags. The voice of crying dad and shouting mother and long live Lao Han are intertwined. Oh, you're going to ask what kind of mess this is, but it's not messy at all. The gongs and drums are noisy, and some people twist Yangge, and the image of Yangge opera actors is to simulate what the Ming army did in Liaodong, and there are many happy episodes of all kinds of rape, plunder, burning, and killing, and then a group of people around them scolded. Firecrackers are set off around a stone monument, and a few words are written on the stone tablet, the tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

As for crying fathers and mothers, it is the family members of some soldiers and officers who died at the hands of the Ming army and the Southern Guangdong Army in the previous raids and plunders and in the Songjin and Liaoxi wars, some crying for their husbands and some for their sons. As for those who were crying and shouting Lao Han, it was even simpler, a group of old men yelled at the guards at the door: Lao Tzu raised troops with Lao Han! Fought Gule Mountain, fought Salhu, and fought Lin Dan Khan, and Lao Ba ruined the foundation left by Lao Han like this. We resolutely refused.

This set of political parades in the style of a certain treasure island tossed the guards of the palace gate to death. Everything else is okay, just plug your ears and close your eyes. The scolding of these old men on the other side is really unbearable, everyone is an old qualification, an elder, and some of them still know each other. Naturally, I don't dare to make mistakes. But being scolded by the elders is really uncomfortable.

There was no way, the guards had to enter the palace to pray, but what they didn't expect was that Huang Taiji was calm, and he ordered the guards to wait until noon to come over to pray. When it was noon, Huang Taiji ordered: "Take out the food from the imperial dining room and divide it among these people." Remember, I give them what I usually eat. ”

After a while, the palace door was opened, and the guards announced the emperor's will to the people. Although everyone was puzzled, since the emperor rewarded them with food, they had no choice but to accept it. As a result, when the food was received, everyone fell silent.

An old man whose left hand was cut off at the elbow suddenly grabbed the guard viciously and said, "You kid." To be honest with me, the emperor usually eats this? He pointed to the sorghum rice and a bowl of white broth on the wooden plate that the guard was carrying. A rough and crude red-haired carp brought in from the Hunhe River asked sharply.

The guard nodded in fright and said, "Yes, the emperor usually eats this." ”

The old man sighed, and then said to the other old men: "Brothers, slaves, it seems that it is not easy for the emperor!" I don't care about this, if you want to make trouble, you can continue to make trouble. I'm leaving. After saying that, the old man turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and knelt on the ground, and cried at the palace gate. While crying, he shouted: "The slave is incompetent, and he let the emperor suffer like this, and the slave is guilty!" ”

The other old men also shed tears when he made a fuss, and after a while, they left silently.

Without these old men, everyone's emotions have suffered a lot of blows, and some people are even ready to leave. But at this time, suddenly a woman shouted bitterly: "Father, child, you died so miserably, Li Huamei's crazy woman is too vicious, she burned you like black charcoal with a rocket, if it weren't for the birthmark under your armpit, I wouldn't have recognized it." The emperor wanted to negotiate peace and surrender to Li Huamei's father, and Li Huamei's tigress became the master's master. Who can I ask for revenge for your revenge? ”

This terrible shout, like an invisible hand, quickly pulled people back to the battlefield. Especially the veterans who participated in the battle of Tashan, it seems that they saw Li Huamei smiling and igniting the rocket, and one after another fire dragons lit up Tashan, burning Tashan like hell, and countless comrades and brothers struggled in the sea of fire and cried for help, and finally fell to the ground, and their bodies were swallowed by the flames. (Li Huamei expressed a serious protest, I never ordered it personally, I just ordered it.) ）

The bannermen, who had woken up from the nightmare, began to shout hoarsely and resolutely not to surrender, entered Shanhaiguan, and burned Chongzhen's slogan, and the situation got out of control again.

But what they didn't expect was that in the carriage parked in a secluded corner behind the crowd, Dorgon took a cigarette very easily, and then smiled and said to Dord, "This girl is doing well, I didn't expect this person to be a good person, it's still a good show." The man who has been on her, if not a thousand, but also five hundred, and the children don't know which one. can actually cry to death, and give her more money when she comes back. ”

"Second brother, the minions at the bottom are really doing a good job! Who would have thought that this year, just beating the child, would be beaten several times, and the goods that did not forget to go to the kang with others with wild seeds would still be of such use? ! It seems that these rotten people are Guanyin on such an occasion! ”

"Two masters, you don't know that this woman has a set! Don't look at the child giving birth to a litter, according to the minions who slept with her below, this girl is still quite tight underneath! It's really the same as the Han people's pen post style, what is tight, warm, fragrant and shallow! And as soon as the man gets on the body, the waves immediately scream constantly! It's a pity that it's a little more expensive......"

Listening to the introduction of the leader of the Baya soldiers who was guarding beside him, the two Dolgon brothers couldn't help laughing: "You must have slept with this minion!" Otherwise, you would know so well! The errand is well done, the lord will reward you with money, and go back and sleep with her for a few nights! ”

Of course, the woman is fake, but the hatred that can be aroused is real. The flag-bearers began to lose control of their emotions, and some of them took off their clothes, revealing ugly and terrible scars, and talked to the guards and onlookers one by one. This scar was pierced by the Southern Barbarian's funeral gun! This opening was cut by Wu Sangui's personal soldiers! This leg was almost broken by Nanban's shotgun projectile! This scar was burned by rockets, and several bitter masters even cried loudly holding the bloody clothes and incomplete armor of their relatives...... There were even some soldiers with lame legs and broken arms, shouting hoarsely at the palace gate: Your Majesty, the slaves can still fight, and they can't negotiate peace......

At this moment, the guards couldn't be calm anymore, so they hurriedly told Huang Taiji, who also frowned when he heard about the development of the situation, and he groaned and asked, "Are those old people gone?" The guard hurriedly replied: "Gone, all gone, there is no one left." Huang Taiji smiled slightly and said: "That's good, pass on my order, all the guards, don't fight back, don't scold back, I don't believe they can scold for a day." When they get thirsty, bring them water and let them continue to scold. ”

But the guards cried out in their hearts! How could people outside be afraid of thirst? At present, there is a temple fair in front of the palace gate, there are those who sing Yangge opera, and there are those who sing bouncing and two-person turning. In addition to these, there are also tables, chairs and benches that come from nowhere, and people who come to the palace gate to cry and complain are tired, so they can sit there and enjoy the thick hot tea, and relieve their stress and drowsiness when they are sleepy. Even at the intersection of several streets and alleys, some people set up stalls and began to sell all kinds of food. The price, although it is more expensive, is also acceptable. "I don't know which of the slaves from the flag lord's family came out to make a fortune!" For other people's minions can take advantage of various opportunities to make a windfall, the guards are very envious, but they don't dare to talk back, so they have to obey the order, gradually, they will get used to it, anyway, the swear words will be the wind in the ears, push and pull should be frolicking, after a long time, people gradually began to calm down, after all, shouting is also to consume saliva.

Just as the guards were about to bring water to everyone according to their wishes, a cheer rang out from far and near. After the people approached, the people gathered at the gate of the palace saw clearly that it was Cao Zhenyan.

If you want to say that people really go to what mountain to sing what song butt commands their heads, if they want to put it before, even yesterday, many Eight Banners Bannermen saw Cao Zhenyan Cao Jueluo dared to spit in front of him, damn the villain, don't you just go shit luck, a shot injured Li Huamei, Lao Tzu is not convinced. But today, after such a long period of emotional brewing, everyone has long forgotten all kinds of opinions, and they only know now that this is the hero who injured Li Huamei with one shot, the comrade who experienced the bloody battle in Tashan with them, and the hero who turned the tide of the war in western Liaoning! Therefore, when they saw Cao Zhenyan, they actually shouted that Cao Jueluo, who injured the tigress, was here, and Cao Jueluo was mighty.

Cao Zhenyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw this situation, but he didn't have time to be polite to these people, but went straight to the palace gate, and then took out his saber from his waist, and handed the blade to the guards with both hands. The guards were stunned for a moment and asked Cao Jueluo what this meant, Cao Zhenyan smiled bitterly and said, "Masters, the slaves ask the masters to behave well and cut off their hands for me." I can't do this myself, so I can only ask my masters for help. ”

Cao Zhenyan's words shocked the guards, and they hurriedly handed the knife back to Cao Zhenyan, saying that they didn't dare. Cao Zhenyan turned his head to everyone and said, "Which of the masters and villagers is free, help me Lao Cao." Now that the emperor is no longer fighting, my old Cao's double-firing hands are useless. All of you also know that my Lao Cao's little credit, today's title and official position, is all because he overturned Li Huamei in Tashan that day. If you don't cut it, after the negotiation is successful, the tigress will also come to find Lao Cao's bad luck, rather than let the tigress cut it, I might as well cut it myself. I know you don't like me, but I'm dying of my old Cao, so you can't do it well? At the end, Cao Zhenyan choked up and couldn't speak. (To be continued......)
