Xu Lang saw Wang Chengen again: "Princess, is there a will on the Holy Side?" ”

Xu Lang and Wang Chengen have been talking about Tao Min's possible trip to Japan for several days, but they have not waited for a reply, Xu Lang's heart is anxious, and his mouth is foaming.

"General Xu, our family has already talked to Banzai about this, but Banzai has the idea of Banzai."

"I don't know what the will is?" Xu Lang scolded in his heart, "You still have fucking bullshit ideas, you really have to wait until Tao Min conquers Japan, and then you have to hang yourself on the coal mountain." ”

"General Xu, Lord Yang and Lord Hong are still fighting against the Liukou in Shaanxi. If we want to go to Korea now, we must send heavy troops, and the saint is worried about the war in Shaanxi. ”

Wang Chengen's reply made Xu Lang speechless for a while, and Chongzhen's consideration was reasonable. If the troops around Beijing are transferred to North Korea, if anything happens in Shaanxi, Li Zicheng can go straight to Beijing, which is what he did in history.

Wang Chengen saw that Xu Lang stopped talking and said: "General Xu, long live and our family know that you are also thinking about the imperial court, but can the affairs of North Korea be put aside first, and wait until General Jiang and they recover Lushun." ”

Xu Lang shook his head: "Father-in-law, please forgive the official for speaking out." I am afraid that the battle of Lushun will not be fruitful for a few months, and in these months, the Tartars will definitely attack Dongying. Once the Tartars succeed, father-in-law, those widows will come back again. ”

"Well, we understand." Wang Chengen sighed, "General Xu, isn't there any other way?" ”

Xu Lang didn't think of other ways, but he vetoed them one by one. It is definitely not possible to transfer Li Fuqiang and Lin Zhaolong back from Vietnam, there are not so many ships, and it is definitely too late in time. Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang were transferred from Xuanfu Town and Datong Town, but they only had two regiments together, which was not enough for Tao Min to plug his teeth. Xu Tianbin can't count on it, it would be good if he could arrive in Dengzhou at the end of the year at the earliest.

Zheng Zhilong and the Westerners still have a certain strength, but Zheng Zhilong's main battleship has now gone to Lushun. If the power of Westerners is used, it will not be possible to negotiate for three or five months, and when the negotiations are over, Tao Min will probably stand in Nagasaki and laugh.

Xu Lang stood up helplessly: "Princess, think about it when you go back, and then take your leave." ”

Xu Lang returned to the officer training corps: "Xuezhong, has the news for Beiming been sent?" ”

"Ge Tao's people have been sent out, but now that Lushun is fighting, they can only find a ship from Tianjin to go to sea, and it may be a few days late."

"It's going to be a few days late." Xu Lang looked helpless again.

Pan Xuezhong noticed Xu Lang's expression: "Did you touch a nail at Wang Chengen?" Chongzhen did not agree to attack North Korea? ”

"No, Chongzhen's idea also has some truth, in short, this matter is getting more and more troublesome." Xu Lang didn't explain too much, "I'll think about it again, it's really not good, I'll go to Lushun in person and discuss it with Beiming." ”

The long wall of the Isthmus of Jinzhou was half completed, and the heavy artillery removed from the battleship was basically completed, and there were as many as fifty or sixty guns, large and small. The Ming armies are also making preparations these days, just waiting for the long wall to be completed before attacking Lushun in the south.

Jiang Beiming inspected the long wall again, looking at this fortification that he had carefully designed, Jiang Beiming's heart was a little proud, the Maginot Line of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, sir." A scout Pegasus came to Jiang Beiming's face, "I found Tartar in the direction of Shengjing, fifteen miles away from us." ”

"They're finally here." Jiang Beiming waved his fist, "How many people, how many cavalry?" ”

"Sir." The scout said with some doubts, "The Tartars are a thousand in number, and all of them are cavalry. ”

"How can it be a thousand?" Leng Tianbing, who was beside Jiang Beiming, wondered if he had heard it wrong, "Have you found out clearly, the Tartars only have a thousand cavalry?" ”

"Back to sir." The scout replied, "We don't think it's likely, but the scouts are all a thousand, and there are only cavalry. ”

"What's going on?" Leng Tianbing tilted his head and asked, "Could it be that Huang Taiji has gathered a thousand cavalry?" ”

Jiang Beiming ignored Leng Tianbing: "Who are their generals?" ”

"Back to the sir, they are playing the banner of Fan Zi. And they also raised the white flag, and some of our scouts were discovered, but the Tartars did not stop them, let alone chase them. ”

"What the is going on?" The more Jiang Beiming listened, the more confused he became: "If you go to investigate again, you must find out the intentions of the Tartars." ”

The scout went down, and Leng Tianbing asked, "Beiming, does Huang Taiji want to negotiate?" ”

"I don't know, don't worry about it yet." Jiang Beiming shouted, "Herald, pass the order, the first-level battle alarm, the cavalry of the Tartars is coming." ”

Jiang Beiming and Leng Tianbing stood behind the long wall and waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for the cavalry of the Eight Banners, but the scout just now came back again.

"Sir, the general of the Tartars is a civil official named Fan Wencheng, and he said that he would come to negotiate with the chief."

"Huang Taiji really wants to negotiate." Jiang Beiming thought for a while, "Tianbing, let's go and meet this Fan Wencheng together first, and listen to what he has to say." ”

Jiang Beiming and Leng Tianbing led the cavalry regiment out of the long wall, and Fan Wencheng's thousand cavalry had already stopped on the opposite side. An eight-banner carrying a white flag rode a horse in front of Jiang Beiming, and shouted in Chinese: "Fan Wencheng, the minister of the Great Qing Dynasty and a scholar of the Secretarial Academy, came to negotiate peace by the holy decree of my emperor, what kind of official position are you?" ”

"The title is not small." Jiang Beiming cleared his throat, "Listen well, this official is Jiang Beiming, the deputy general of the second rank personally appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Beijing Officer Training Corps, the supreme commander of the Yulin Army, the commander of the Lushun Campaign, and the major general. ”

Baqi, who was carrying the flag, touched his head: "Are you a deputy general or a major general, and what kind of officer is the commander?" ”

Leng Tianbing smiled on the side: "You go back and tell Fan Wencheng that we have the final say here, and he wants to talk to us about what he wants." ”

Jiang Beiming, Leng Tianbing and Fan Wencheng each led more than a dozen cavalry to the middle of the two cavalry teams, Jiang Beiming still knows Fan Wencheng well, and Lu Tianxiang focused on this person in his lecture. If Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi's surrender is still a last resort, Fan Wencheng is Nurhachi who took the initiative to take refuge. It doesn't matter what others think of Jiang Beiming, in Jiang Beiming's heart, the person in front of him is a real hardcore traitor. But now, Jiang Beiming can only suppress his emotions first, and negotiations are still necessary.

"General Chiang." Fan Wencheng bowed his hand to Jiang Beiming and said, "This official has come to negotiate with the general by the holy decree of our emperor. ”

Jiang Beiming snorted in his nose and reluctantly returned the salute: "I don't know what Scholar Fan wants to talk about and what he wants to talk about." ”

Fan Wencheng didn't care about Jiang Beiming's attitude, and said directly to the point: "My emperor's meaning, I can withdraw from Lushun in the Qing Dynasty and give Lushun to you." But the 20,000 Qing soldiers in Lushun must safely withdraw to Shengjing, and you can't stop it. ”

Fan Wencheng said such a sentence, Leng Tianbing waited for a long time and didn't wait for the following words: "What else?" ”

Fan Wencheng smiled: "No." ”

Jiang Beiming didn't quite believe it: "It's that simple? ”

"General Chiang, it's as simple as that."

Jiang Beiming's heart was a little confused, didn't Huang Taiji know his plan to stick to Lushun, even if Huang Taiji didn't know, Fan Wencheng also saw the long wall he was building now. They surrendered Lushun without fighting, which did not quite fit the personality of the Manchurians. Could it be that something happened to Sheng Jing or Huang Taiji had other plans, this is dragging himself.

Fan Wencheng saw that Jiang Beiming and Leng Tianbing had not spoken, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the general believe in the sincerity of my emperor?" ”

Jiang Beiming really couldn't understand what Huang Taiji meant for a while: "Master Fan, this matter is very important, if we can't call the shots, we still need to ask for holy will." ”

"General, please." Fan Wencheng said, "But the official also reminded the general. Now that we have relinquished Lushun, the general can play to your court, and it is the general who has recovered Lushun. I think that Governor Yang Wenyue and General Zheng Zhilong will be very satisfied, and you will also be appreciated by the government and the opposition. But if the matter of negotiation is played to the court, will the general not forget last year's high potential? ”

"And." Fan Wencheng continued, "Our Prince Rui and Prince Tao Min still have 90,000 troops in Korea, and the official doesn't know what the general has to do with Tao Min, but the general has fought fiercely with him several times before, doesn't the general consider Tao Min's movements?" ”

Fan Wencheng's words made Jiang Beiming's mind almost a mess, what does Huang Taiji mean, could it be that Dolgon and Huang Taiji really turned their faces, so Huang Taiji was in a hurry to make peace with himself, and did not hesitate to give up Lushun to deal with Dolgon and Taomin. Or maybe this is Huang Taiji's delaying tactic, he is dragging himself and waiting for the 90,000 troops of North Korea to return to Lushun.

Leng Tianbing couldn't figure it out: "Bachelor Fan, my general just said that this matter is a big matter, and we still need to go back and discuss it." I wonder if Bachelor Fan can wait for a few days? ”

"I can wait." Fan Wencheng pointed behind him, "This official is camped there, and we will talk about it in three days." The officer only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and I don't think the two generals would have any other ideas. ”
