Zhu Jiantai's response is actually simple, that is, to surrender quickly. Of course, Zhu Jiantai's family, who married and had a son after surrendering to the Manchus, was still in Jian's hands. But compared to his own life, the life of his family is naturally not so important.

"Shizi, Chief Gin actually has not much to do with Niuzhuang Fort, this time Chief Gin sent sinners, just to do a counter-plot and to provoke the relationship between King Anping and the court." Zhu Jiantai knelt on the ground and replied honestly.

"Hehe......" Zheng Sen just laughed, but didn't say anything. Because in his opinion, if Huang Taiji is still playing with such an idea, it means that Huang Taiji is either helpless, or his grasp of the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as before.

"Humph! Is there any other movement on Jian's side? The Confucian next to Zheng Sen asked.

"Back to your lordship," Zhu Jiantai replied, "Jianshen suffered another big defeat yesterday, and Jianshen's morale is low, and he can't fight anymore. The last time I entered the customs, the income was limited, and this year's harvest was not very good, and in the spring of next year, there will be no green and yellow crops, and most of them will have a great famine, and the population who came back from the last plunder is afraid that they will not be able to feed themselves. So if the sinners come this time, nothing will come of it, and the chief will be ready to let these people die here. ”

Hearing this, Dolgon hurriedly interjected: "The last time Jianxuan entered the customs, it was the soldiers led by the slaves, and the slaves knew that plundering the people of the Celestial Empire was a crime that deserved death. It's just that Chief Gium sent his son Haug to keep an eye on the minions, and the minions had to fight the heavenly soldiers. The minions deliberately contributed to the work, and those people were all captured by Hauge. The minion has always been a thorn in the side of the chieftain, and the minion is afraid of death, so he doesn't dare to stop it! ”

Zheng Sen listened, but said: "Since Mr. Zhu has the heart to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can't help but give you a chance." Huang Taiji asked you to come over, what kind of result do you want to negotiate? ”

"Son, Chief Gium wants to redeem Fourteen Baylors." Zhu Jiantai replied.

Zheng Sen glanced at Dolgon. Dolgon immediately stepped forward, fell to his knees, and cried bitterly: "If the slave does not go back, the slave does not go back!" Lord Shizi, the slave finally got out of the sea of suffering, how can he go back to that thief's den again! Shi Ziye, slave, slave Ning Yuan died under the knife of Shi Ziye, and he didn't want to go back to live that kind of unkind and unjust, no man and no ghost anymore! ”

Zheng Sen ignored him, and then said to Zhu Jiantai: "What kind of price is Huang Taiji willing to pay to redeem Dolgon?" ”

Zhu Jiantai hurriedly said: "Chief Xuan said that he has long heard that the prince loves the people like a son, and now Chief Xuan is willing to use the population plundered from the Guannei this time to make an exchange with the prince." If the prince is willing, Fourteen Baylor will be put back, and the chief is willing to exchange twenty thousand coats for fourteen Baylor. ”

exchanged 20,000 people for Dolgon, to be honest, Zheng Sen was really a little moved. After all, there are 20,000 people, and they were taken captive by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ran thousands of miles, and lived to the present day. It is conceivable that the physical fitness of these people is all good, and if they are sent to Jeju Island or Taiwan, they can be enriched with the Nanyang colony with a little recuperation. However, capturing Dolgon alive can bring great political benefits to Zheng Sen, and it is not easy to give up. Moreover, Zheng Sen felt that if the Manchus could go to the Central Plains to plunder the population, he could also go to the Manchus to plunder the population. Since you can rob with your ability, why do you have a deal with you?

"In addition, Chief Xuan is also delusional and wants to make peace with me. As far as the sinners knew, the chief had already sent someone to find a way to contact the court directly. Zhu Jiantai said again.

"Talk to me about peace? What kind of sum does he want to talk about? Zheng Sen asked with interest.

Zhu Jiantai hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, the chief wants to be a brother country with the Ming Dynasty, and even a subject country of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, it has not invaded each other with the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty needs it, the Chief of the Ming Dynasty is also willing to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty pacify the rebels. ”

Now the internal rogues in the Ming Dynasty have been suppressed again, Li Zicheng is dead, Zhang Xianzhong is now in Sichuan, Sichuan is a place of four stops, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit. He is now hiding in Sichuan, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to organize forces to exterminate him for a while, but it is also difficult for him to come out himself. Compared to before, the harm is much less. And more importantly, the root cause of the civil unrest, the large number of displaced people who have no food to eat, has begun to decline rapidly. This is first and foremost due to the astonishing attrition of years of civil war, which combined with famine can always reduce the population at an alarming rate. The second is because of the impact of colonization overseas. The Zheng family moved millions of able-bodied people to overseas colonies, and this process was further accelerated after the accession of Emperor Hongguang. Local officials, under the instructions of the imperial court, took the initiative to gather the displaced people and send them overseas. In just half a year, nearly a million more people were transferred to overseas colonies through the Zheng family. There are fewer displaced people who can't eat enough, and there are fewer rebellious reserve troops, and in a sense, this can be regarded as a solution to the problem of the bottom of the kettle. So now the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty is about to be calmed down. At this time, Huang Taiji found someone to go to the court to say something to "pacify the rebels", and it is really difficult to say who this "rebel" refers to.

"The chief also let the sinners stir things up. He told sinners that since ancient times, high merit has not been rewarded, as the saying goes, 'rabbits die and dogs cook, and birds hide their bows'. If there is no pseudo-Qing, I am afraid that someone will come to harm King Anping immediately. Moreover, he also asked the sinner to tell the prince that if King Anping wanted to go further and put on a white hat, he would also be willing to support him. Zhu Jiantai said again.

"It's really ill-intentioned!" The Confucian scolded.

"The chief has a bad intention, and it goes without saying." Zheng Sen said, "Besides, if they sue for peace with me, do they want to withdraw from the side wall, but they want to return the looted property and population?" If not, when did I have a land cut and sue for peace? ”

"Shizi is right. Sinners also felt that the Chief was delusional. Zhu Jiantai also said.

"Master, the slave also thinks that Huang Taiji, a thief, is not well-intentioned, and his words cannot be believed." Dorgon interjected.

"Mr. Zhu, you better go back first and tell Huang Taiji that Dolgon has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so don't think about changing him back again. As for the people whom he plundered, I would naturally take the army to rescue them. and do not bother him. What he can't get on the battlefield, he can't think of outside the battlefield. Mr. Zhu, Jianxuan has no way out, but you are different, if you can make meritorious contributions, you may not have no results in the future. ”

Zhu Jiantai knelt down and kowtowed: "Sinners thank the son, sinners must atone for their sins." ”

"And the people you brought, I'll keep them all." Zheng Sen said again, "This is also for your good." Then he said to Dorgon, "Tomorrow will you go on behalf of our army?" ”
