On the first day of September in 1652 AD, the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the sixth year of Shenwu in the Ming Dynasty, this year's winter came a little earlier, and it had already snowed lightly before entering October. Although the weather in the Guannai is still Xiaoice, this kind of weather is still incomparable with the bitter cold outside the Guan, and the temperature of more than ten degrees still makes the Manchurian lords in Beijing unadaptable.

But today, these Manchurian lords didn't make any trouble, because they were all sighing in the house, and the Nanming army had already hit the doorstep.

The various palaces in Beijing have begun to connect in private, preparing to leave this damn Beijing city and return to their hometown outside the gates. At the same time, some rumors began to circulate that the emperor was persuaded by the empress dowager to prepare to leave the Great Wall from Gubeikou and return to Liaodong through the Mongolian tribes.

Ordinary flag people can't see the emperor, and they can't verify the authenticity of this news, but as the owner of the Eight Banners, several people rely on their special identities to jointly enter the palace and prepare to ask for details, now the Ming army is in Tianjin, and there are less than two days away from Beijing, what should I do next The emperor gives me a letter!

Now the Eight Banners are because of the death of Dolgon, Shunzhi is pro-government, the upper three banners are changed to the emperor's personal rate, and the owner of the white flag is Haoge's son Fu Shou; The original flag owner of the Zhenghong Banner was Dai Shan, but after Dai Shan's death, the flag owner was Dai Shan's son Man Dahai, and now Man Dahai died in Zhangde, Henan, so the position of flag owner was inherited by Man Dahai's son Chang Adai; The owner of the red flag is Shunzhi's elder brother Shuosai; The banner bearer of the blue banner is Doni, the son of Dord; The owner of the blue flag was originally Zilharang, but now Zilharang died in Jinan, so the banner owner was inherited by his son Balkan.

These new banner masters are all three generations, except for Shuo Sai, who has some military exploits, the others are some seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, there is no way, now the old guys are all dead, so these young people can only be put on the throne.

These five banner lords entered the palace to meet the emperor and the queen mother, Shunzhi was angry in the palace at this time, he had just received the news that the Ming army had gone ashore from the sea, occupied Shengjing, and now it has set off from Shengjing, to occupy the Shanhaiguan Pass, and choke the throat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Shunzhi learned that the five banner lords came to see him, and he knew why they came, just to find out when they would escape.

Shunzhi thought about it and asked the eunuch to pass them in, and after the five people came in, Shunzhi asked, "What are the five of you doing here?" ”

Xia Wuqi has the most respected status with the white flag, and Fu Shou is also the oldest, he thought about it and stood up and said: "Master, the minions heard a news outside, I heard that the Queen Mother intends to let us go out of the customs from Gubeikou, and then return to Liaodong through Mongolia, can this news be true?" ”

Shunzhi nodded and said: "Almost, that's exactly what the Queen Mother meant, you happened to be here today, you tell me your opinions!" ”

Shunzhi's elder brother Shuo Sai is still a person who understands, knowing that now is the weakest time for the imperial court, so he can go back to Liaodong in Mongolia, in case the Mongolian tribes have a little meaning, then Manchuria will be wiped out! But Shuo Sai has a special relationship, and he doesn't dare to say some things, so he can only give Fu Shou a look and let him say it.

As Haoge's son, Fu Shou is much older than his uncle Shunzhi, but because of this, Fu Shou is the most reassuring one in Shunzhi, so he can still say some things.

"Master, now there are less than 80,000 people in the Eight Banners in the capital, and they are all women and children, and there are only more than 2,000 adult men, and this is basically the case with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty! If the Mongol tribes welcome us, it's better to say, in case they have any bad intentions... ”

What Fu Shou said is exactly what Shunzhi is worried about, although he is the son-in-law of Wu Keshan, the Great Khan of Horqin of Mongolia, he is still the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he can't help but think about the last tens of thousands of people in the Manchu Dynasty. Although the Mongols have always married with the Manchu aristocracy, they were all based on authoritarianism, and now that the Manchus are weakened like this, it is really not sure what the Mongols can do.

Shunzhi groaned and said: "At this time, the queen mother's meaning, there should be no problem!" ”

Fu Shou said anxiously: "Master, you are the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you have to think about the net worth and life of the whole clan!" Now that the Ming army is still in Tianjin, why don't we take this opportunity to go back to Liaodong through Shanhaiguan? ”

Shunzhi sighed when he heard Fu Shou say this, and handed over the request for help from Luo Keduo, the general stationed at Shanhaiguan, to Fu Shou on the bookcase: "Fu Shou, take a look!" The Ming army has captured Shengjing, and now it has gone south to Ningyuan, and Luo Keduo in Shanhaiguan can't stop it, this is an urgent document! ”

Fu Shou was taken aback when he heard the emperor say this, in the past, these banner owners were not in a hurry, precisely because they were still in Liaodong, and if they didn't work, they would go back to their hometown, and the Ming army would not be the opponent of the Eight Banners if they could fight in the bitter cold land outside the Guan. And north of Shengjing is the hometown of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although the Guannai is not the same, but there are still four or five hundred thousand people there, which can be used as the capital to start. Now that I hear that my hometown has been copied by the Ming army, these banner owners can still sit there.

"Master, Shengjing is the foundation of our wait, we must not let the Ming army occupy it, please think of a way!"

Shunzhi was troubled by these guys, how could he, as a member of the family, not be in a hurry? But what now? The soldiers in the pass are almost dead, should they use those women and children to fight against the tiger and wolf division of the Ming army?

Shunzhi slapped the table and said, "Okay! Stop it! Can I, as the emperor, not know the importance of Shengjing? But what can I do now? Now we have to protect the last 70,000 or 80,000 people in Manchuria, so I have decided to abandon the city in ten days, and the whole clan will leave the customs from Gubeikou and return to Liaodong! A few of you will also go back and gather your subordinates, so let's get ready! ”

The five banner masters couldn't help it when they heard the emperor say this, and now they had to take the Gubeikou road, and there was no way for the five of them to go down and gather their subordinates and start preparing to flee.

With official confirmation, the city of Beijing is in chaos. Originally, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they only brought horses and weapons, but after these seven or eight years, every family was wrapped in big bags and small bags, and now they had to move and flee for their lives, and the entire inner city of Beijing was in chaos.

Just when the whole city of the Manchu Qing was about to run away, Zhu Hongsan, who was in Tianjin, in order to stabilize the Manchus and prevent them from escaping, sent peace envoys headed by Hou Sui, the governor of Beizhili, to Beijing to prepare for peace talks with the Manchus.

This time the peace talks were not as good as the last ones, and this time Zhu Hongsan had the advantage, but he didn't want the Manchurians to run away from Gubeikou, which would be troublesome. There are still nearly 70,000 or 80,000 Manchurians in Beijing, plus more than 100,000 people in Liaodong, if the Manchurians are not completely solved in Guanli, it will be poisoned for countless years, and Zhu Hongsan does not want to leave his children and grandchildren with a Northern Qing after his death.

Therefore, while Zhu Hongsan sent Li Yuanyin to Yanqing and Huailai to intercept him, he also sent an envoy headed by the old liar Hou Sui, just to let the Manchus stay in Guanli.

Hou Sui took a thousand brocade clothes and Wei Hao set off from Tianjin with the scepter of the Son of Heaven and came to Beijing on the fifth day of the ninth month. The soldiers guarding the city saw that there were so many brocade guards outside the city, and hurriedly asked people to go back and report.

Emperor Shunzhi was also surprised when he received the news, what was that Shenwu Emperor doing? What are you doing when the soldiers are in the city?

Shunzhi thought about it for a long time and felt that it was better to see him, in case there was any key news? Therefore, Shunzhi sent his own ministers, Chen Mingxia, a scholar of Hanlin and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, out of the city to meet the Ming Dynasty mission.

Chen Mingxia is a native of Liyang, Changzhou, Jiangsu, a famous person of the Restoration Society, and is good friends with Chen Zilong, Wu Weiye and others. It is precisely because Chen Mingxia was born in Donglin that he is very familiar with Hou Sui, who was also from the same background, and has listened to a few lessons of Hou Sui in Jiangnan, and has always been a teacher to Hou Sui.

Hou Sui waited outside the city for a long time, and saw the city gate open, and a group of Wenchen came out inside, led by his old acquaintance, Chen Mingxia.

Chen Mingxia was also ashamed to see Hou Sui, he was in Nanzhili back then, and he talked with his friends in the same year, how could he have thought that only a few years have passed, and he has become a minister of a different race, and now he wants to meet with his former teacher, how can he not be ashamed?

Chen Mingxia stepped forward and said, "The teacher is above, and the disciple Chen Mingxia is polite!" ”

Hou Sui saw that Chen Mingxia was wearing a Manchu official uniform, with an ugly money rattail on his head, sighed and helped him up and asked: "Baishi, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you!" ”

"The disciple is incompetent, so the teacher is worried!"

"Baishi, how did you get over the past few years? What kind of official position do you hold now? ”

Chen Mingxia sighed, briefly talked about what he had happened in the past few years, and then said: "Teacher, my emperor ordered my disciple to greet the teacher, and at the same time serve as a messenger to negotiate with the teacher!" ”

Hou Sui nodded, followed Chen Mingxia into Beijing, and stayed in the Sifang Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites.

Now that the situation is critical, Chen Mingxia won't play anything else, and after the teacher settles down, he asked directly: "Teacher, what did Emperor Shenwu send you for?" ”

"Emperor Shenwu has the virtue of a good life, this world has been in turmoil for so many years, don't let the people of Jingshi suffer from the military disaster now, so Emperor Shenwu decided to send an old man to persuade you Manchu Emperor, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will be let live!"

Chen Mingxia doesn't care about anything else, now that the Manchu Emperor is gone, life or death has nothing to do with him, Chen Mingxia is worried about his fate.

Chen Mingxia looked at the Hanchen in the room, and there were no Manchurian nobles following, and asked reassuringly: "Teacher, what should I do with Hanchen?" ”

Chen Mingxia's words asked the voices of all the Hanchen in the house, in order to make a fortune, no one wants to die for a regime that is about to die, so everyone quietly listens to what Hou Sui says.

Hou Sui smiled slightly, he was an old bureaucrat, of course he knew what these Hanchen people thought, but fortunately, the emperor had already told him the whereabouts of these surrender factions before he came, and it didn't hurt to tell them now.

"Baishi, it was not your fault that the Jingshi was broken by the Liukou back then, and Emperor Shenwu was also very considerate of your difficulties, so this time when the old man was leaving, the emperor specially explained, as long as you promote peace talks, you are a hero, and those who want to go on a career can be demoted to three levels and retained, and those who don't want to take an official career can resign and return to their hometown!"
