In the rebellion of the three feudatories in history, Eza, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong led 30,000 slaves, 3,000 elite Gyeonggi plus Korqin, Weng Niute, Ao Han, Bahrain, Tumut, Zalut and Karaqin and other Mongolian annihilation tribe iron cavalry, it took more than a month, although of course there are Burni and his younger brother Luo Bu Zangzhi are talented, eyes and hands are low, but the mite Qing army and the mite Qing coat of brave and good fighting, as well as the beast surname of the mite Qing Eight Banners still exists, it does account for a lot of factors. Of course, there are also the blinders of the Mongol annihilation army -- the historical brothers Bulni and Lobuzang were deceived into the camp and shot to death by the Mongol annihilation of the Korqin Division.

And in history, the vast majority of the two months of counterinsurgency time was actually wasted on the march, and there were only two days of real fierce fighting, the Battle of Dalu, in the case of the Burni brothers occupying favorable terrain first, the first butcher of the Mite Qing Dynasty, the grandson of Duoduo, led a team, led Tuhai, Hong Shilu and Wu Thant to lead the remaining three teams, and launched a rotational assault on the front of the Burnny brothers' army formation, and as a result, it took only three waves of charges to completely defeat the Burnny brothers' rebellious army, forcing the Burnny brothers to flee with only more than 30 horsemen, In the end, he died tragically at the hands of Sazin, the brother-in-law of Burnie's brother Lobuzang.

History is history, this year is this year, no one thought that even Lu Fatzi himself did not expect that in the battle of Dalu thousands of miles away in this era, Lu Fatzi's ghost shadow suddenly appeared.

The course of the matter is like this, as in history, in order to boost morale and high morale, on the way out, Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong and other Qing army generals acquiesced and even secretly instigated, conniving at the generals and soldiers of the Baoyi Army to loot the Han people in the villages along the way, burning, killing and looting, annihilating silver and plundering, and doing no evil, and released rumors, saying that Chahar has been the foundation for hundreds of years, hoarding countless gold, silver and jewelry, and only the inventory of gold is more than 10 million taels, if Chahar can be taken, half of these gold jewels will be owned by the Baoyi soldiers! The eyes of the Baoyi army were shining green up and down, and they were so excited that they screamed arrogantly, and their morale and fighting spirit were high.

Still the same as in history, the elite scouts of Mite Qing also preemptively discovered the ambush of the Burnny brothers in the valley, and Tong Guogang, the ancestor of the handsome guy who erected the monument to the devil, also decided to take advantage of the weakness of the Burnny brothers' weak forces, ignore the ambush on both wings, and adopt the tactics of a frontal breakthrough to break through the ridiculously fragile Chinese flag formation of the Burnny brothers head-on, so as to defeat the fragile psychology of the Burnny brothers in one fell swoop.

However, after the operation began, Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong were caught off guard and found that the elite cavalry of Mites Qing stationed in Rehe, which they relied on as their main backbone, did not follow the order for a long time, for no other reason, the old men of the Eight Banners who had worked hard for a long time were smoking big cigarettes! ――Because the time of the sortie coincided with the time when these Eight Banners masters were collectively enjoying themselves, the time for the execution of the order was inevitably delayed.

When Tong Guogang, Fei Yanggu and Zhou Peigong, who were so angry that they vomited blood, finally invited these Eight Banner masters to the battlefield, the fleeting fighter plane had already been missed, because the Qing army stopped at the gate of the ambush circle for a long time to assemble and adjust, and no matter how stupid the Burnie brothers were, they understood that the Qing army had seen through their brothers' ambush, and in order to prevent the Qing army from planning and planning, they hurriedly collected the ambush soldiers on both wings. When the Qing army launched another charge, although the Burnny brothers were not yet opponents, they were not as unresistless as in history, and after blocking the Qing army's two charges in succession, the Burnny brothers decisively abandoned the valley terrain that was not conducive to the flow of the Mongol cavalry, and instead flowed towards the steppe.

The Burnie brothers ran away by luck, but Tong Guogang and Zhou Peigong vomited blood, and when they hurriedly urged the army to pursue, the grassland was vast, and when was it a head? But if the Burnie brothers can't be caught and killed, this rebellion will naturally not be quelled, and they can only pursue and pursue in the depths of the boundless grassland under the traction of the Burney brothers............

When the news reached the capital, Kang Mazi naturally vomited blood - Kang Mazi wanted to eradicate the hidden danger behind the Burney brothers as soon as possible, and he also wanted to quickly free up the reserve army to clean up Geng Jingzhong or resist Wu Laohan's annihilation, but the Baoyi Army, which had high hopes from the top and bottom of the Qing court, actually missed the best battle to determine the fighter, and now the Burney brothers can't care about it, how much time will this battle take, Kang Mazi really has no bottom to say.

Just when Kang Mazi was restless, on September 20, an unexpected good news reached the capital -- Geng Jingzhong forced Fan Chengmo, the imprisoned governor of Fujian, to write a letter to persuade Kang Mazi to adopt a policy of appeasement to Geng Jingzhong. At the same time, there was also Geng Jingzhong's autograph, which not only shamelessly justified his rebellion -- mainly to blame the head of the monk Yue Le and the old man and the old man to force him to rebel -- but to put it in his conscience, most of the facts are true.

In addition, Geng Jingzhong also issued a condition for the armistice to be a vassal, imitating Wu Sangui's example, Geng Jingzhong shaved his hair and braided again, and served Kang Mazi as the emperor, but Kang Mazi must pay Geng Jingzhong 10 million taels of silver and 3 million stone grain and grass, as for the land, our Jingnan prince is far less greedy than our Pingxi prince - as long as he is in charge of Zhejiang Province!

After tearing Geng Jingzhong's recital to pieces like thunder, in the afternoon of the same day, Kabula and Wu Lao Han Jian's recital were sent to the capital together, Kabula's recital said that his negotiations with Wu Lao Han were over, and he won a great victory at the negotiating table, in addition to promising not to oppose Wu Sangui's proclamation of emperor and the permanent non-aggression of the two countries, the Qing court only needed to pay Wu Jun 1.2 million taels of silver every year, and Wu Jun gave up his territorial claims to Jiangxi. Instead, he asked the Qing court to agree to Wu Lao Han to take charge of Lianzhou and Gaozhou in Guangdong, because these two Guangdong prefectures had long been under the control of the Wu army, and Wu Lao Han's request to take charge of them was just to justify his name and gain some face, so Kabula agreed.

At the same time, in order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, since the signing of the peace treaty, the Wu army has begun to withdraw under the personal supervision of Kabula, and more than 20,000 Wu troops retreated to Changsha, so that the Wu army on the Huguang battlefield was reduced to 50,000 people, maintaining a one-to-three garrison ratio with the Qing army. In addition, Kabula also attached the original text of the permanent armistice peace treaty signed jointly by himself and Hu Guozhu, and asked Kang Mazi to approve it.

And on Wu Lao Han Jian's recital, that is full of flattery and flattery, Wu Lao Han Jian not only revealed a lot of fear of the power of the mite Qing country in his tone, but also took the initiative to say that after he became the emperor, he was willing to marry with Mites Qing as a brother, and despite his older Kang Mazi more than forty years old, he brazenly expressed his willingness to serve Kang Mazi as a brother, let his nephew Feng Kang Mazi as an uncle, gave Kang Mazi enough face, and also gave Kang Mazi steps.

At this point, the situation of forcing Kang Mazi to choose gambling has been formed, and Kang Mazi either chooses to agree to Geng Jingzhong's shameless request in exchange for a truce in the southeast, freeing up his strength to deal with Wu Laohan with all his might; Either choose to believe in Wu Laohan Jian, agree to Wu Laohan Jian's much more relaxed conditions, temporarily stabilize Wu Laohan Jian, the strongest in the rebel army, concentrate on killing Geng Jingzhong, first cut off Wu Laohan's wings, and then wait for the time to be ripe to annihilate Wu Laohan in one fell swoop!

At the critical moment of deciding the honor and disgrace of life and death, the two factions of the Qing Dynasty who quarreled every day for the Lord and the main battle all closed their mouths, and did not dare to say a word to express their opinions, all of them knelt on the ground with their foreheads on the ground, waiting for Kang Mazi to make up their minds - don't say the wrong word at this time, just say the wrong word, and the black pot shoes in the future will be endless! And Kang Mazi never said a word, just leaned weakly on the pseudo-dragon chair, looking up at the floating algae on the beam of the Heart Cultivation Palace, motionless, as if the old monk was in a trance.

From the afternoon until the sky was completely dark, for two or three hours, the palace was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, whether it was Kang Mazi, or Kang Mazi's intimate confidants and the civil and military ministers of the Qing Dynasty, they were all sitting or kneeling without moving, and they didn't even breathe loudly. It was at this time that the old witch of Xiaozhuang once said to Kang Mazi once again came to Kang Mazi's heart............

"Sun'er, you are younger than Ao Bai and younger than Wu Sangui, this is your best chance of winning, as long as you have time, no matter how strong they are, you can defeat them. As long as there is time, the final victory will always be yours. ”

"Grandmother is right, I am younger than Wu Sangui thief, Wu Sangui thief has no successor, as long as I can buy more time, victory will always belong to me." Muttering softly to himself this self-talk, Kang Mazi struggled to sit up straight, lifted the imperial pen, signed his name on the permanent armistice peace treaty, and personally covered the jade seal, and finally threw the peace agreement to the middle of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and commanded in a hoarse voice: "Eight hundred miles of fast horses, send them to Wuchang as quickly as possible, and let Kabula negotiate the withdrawal time with Wu Sangui's old thief." Tell Kabula that other details can be discussed slowly, and the sooner Wu Sangui old thief can withdraw his troops from Wuchang, the better. ”

"Master, how many troops do we keep on the Hanyang line and the Nanchang Jiujiang line?" Suo Etu asked tremblingly.

"Hanyang is on the front line of Wuchang and maintains a garrison of 30,000." Kang Mazi trembled and ordered: "The remaining 60,000 troops, all handed over to Jieshu to command, go south to Fujian to quell the rebellion." The Nanchang army also only maintained 30,000, and the rest withdrew to Jianchang and Jiujiang. He asked Kabula to personally supervise and let Wu Sangui's old thief withdraw his troops at the same time as me. ”

"Pierce ......." Suo Etu trembled and agreed, and asked tentatively: "Master, then is the military salary, grain and grass promised to Wu Sangui's old thief paid on the fourth day of October as scheduled?" ”

"There's no rush to this." Kang Mazi shook his head, "Let Kabula tell Wu Sangui that the remaining thirty percent of the army's salaries and grass last year will be paid until the implementation of the new peace treaty, anyway, as the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for me to rely on his account, so let him rest assured." ”

…………………………

On the twentieth night of September in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, the supreme chief of the Qing Dynasty, finally signed a permanent armistice peace treaty with the Pingxi Palace, promising not to oppose the old Han and Wu Sangui to establish himself as the emperor in the southwest, and to pay Wu Lao Han 1.2 million taels of silver every year, and cede the two mansions of Gaozhou and Lianzhou in Guangdong, in exchange for Wu Lao Han's withdrawal from the Yangtze River and the reduction of the army to one-third of the Mite Qing garrison. The specific details were negotiated and perfected by the first rank of the Chengen Gong of Mite Qing and the plenipotentiary minister Kabula and Wu Jun.

While preparing to execute the peace treaty, five days later, Kang Mazi's will was delivered to Hanyang by the Mites Qing Post Station in the fastest 800 li of this era. Hearing that Kang Mazi only planned to maintain a garrison of 30,000 troops on the front line between Wuchang and Huangzhou, Tuhai was inevitably shocked and complained repeatedly, but he did not dare to intercept this will privately, so he had to send his henchmen to send the holy decree across the river and negotiate the details of the garrison with Kabula; On the one hand, he wrote to the capital and asked Kang Mazi to adjust the garrison, draw less troops from the most important frontal battlefield, and more troops from the secondary Jiangxi battlefield.

Whether Kang Mazi adopted Tuhai's suggestion, let's not talk about him, just say that after Tuhai forwarded the holy decree across the river, Kabula immediately asked to start detailed negotiations, and this time, Wu Lao Han Jian, who had been impatient for a long time, finally came forward in person and personally started detailed negotiations with Kabula, and at the same time, at the negotiation table, Wu Lao Han Jian took out a lot of gentlemanly demeanor very rarely, and made many major concessions that were extremely beneficial to the Qing court, and it took only one night to reach a negotiation, which also made Kabula sneer in his heart- This old thing, I really want to be an emperor and want to go crazy.

Among the details of the peace treaty reached by Wu Lao Han and Kabula himself, the most important ones are the following four articles: First, in the provisional peace treaty last year, the military salaries, grain and grass promised by the Qing court, the remaining 10.5 million taels of silver and 1.5 million stone grain and grass, the payment date was changed to October 18, the 12th year of Kang Mazi, and the time for Wu Laohan to return the remaining 16,000 mite Qing prisoners of war was also changed to October 18, and the place of exchange was still Wuchang City. However, the premise is that before that, the Wu army must complete the agreed withdrawal and cut off the firearms support of Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing.

2: In view of the complexity of the geographical road of the Yangtze River battlefield, the Wu army reduced the army stationed in Wuchang Mansion to 10,000 people, but not the water division, and the Wu army stationed in Yuezhou was also reduced to 13,000 people, including the army of the Wu army's Dongting Lake Water Division, and at the same time, the Wu army's Songzi army must all withdraw to Lizhou, and only the 1,000-strong army in Songzi and Gong'an was retained for surveillance. However, the Jingzhou army of the Qing army was not adjusted, and the first-line garrison from Hanyang to Huangzhou was reduced to 30,000 to show fairness.

Three: After Wu Laohan annihilated the emperor, the Qing court must send someone to congratulate, Wu Laohan annihilated Kang Mazi as his brother, claiming to be his younger brother, but whether Wu Laohan annihilated cut braids and grew hair, the Qing court had no right to interfere, and agreed to send each other's descendants as protons at that time, and never offended each other.

Four: Except for the shameful matter of allowing Wu Laohan to be called emperor and cutting the land, the rest of the treaties are all made public to the world, please all the living beings and people in the world to testify, if there is a breach of contract, the sky will abandon it, the earth will abandon it!

After signing the detailed peace treaty, Wu Lao Han Zhan also signed it with a seal himself, and after drying the ink and handing it to Kabula, Wu Lao Han Jian smiled and said: "Lord Ka, please rest assured, the old man wants to implement this peace treaty too early for the sake of his family, the country and the world and the livelihood of the people." In this way, tomorrow the old man will order the withdrawal of the army to prove the sincerity of the old man's peace talks. ”

"Thank you for your generosity." Kabula thanked him and said, "Please rest assured that the prince will send the details of this peace agreement to the capital overnight, and I believe that after ten days, the prince will receive good news." What is even more reassuring to the prince is that during this period, our Qing army will never take a step south. ”

"I'm not afraid if you go south." Wu Lao Hanjian laughed, and said with an unceremonious laugh: "The old man doesn't have many warships, and he can't cross the river, but if he wants to get to the land, hehe, even if there are only 10,000 troops in Wuchang City, it is enough to block your 100,000 and 200,000 troops!" ”

Kabula laughed dryly, and scolded Wu Laohan in his heart for being arrogant and arrogant, isn't it just that he is sharp with firearms, and he is arrogant to this point. At the same time, Kabula also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Lao Hanjian took the initiative to withdraw the army first, expressing his sincerity in implementing the peace treaty, it seems that this old thing really doesn't plan to play any tricks.

Kabula, who had successfully completed the task, was relieved, but after the details of the peace treaty were sent across the Yangtze River overnight, Tuhai, who was directly in charge of the Yangtze River battlefield, was worried -- judging from the number of garrisons agreed upon in detail, the Qing army had taken a great advantage and formed an absolute superiority in strength over the Wu army, but the Wu army's superiority in combat effectiveness and firearms was placed there, and in fact it did not take much advantage.

What's even worse is that it is easy for the main force of the Qing army to go down the river, and it is difficult to return to the Huguang battlefield against the river, if the main force of the Qing army falls into the battlefield of Fujian and Zhejiang after going south, and the main force of the Wu army suddenly goes north and forcibly attacks the defense line of the Yangtze River, then whether the Tuhai army can block the full attack of the Wu army and support the main force of the Qing army to withdraw and return to help, that is something that no one can say.

The emperor has signed the peace treaty with a seal, and the details of the peace treaty have also been agreed between the emperor's father-in-law and the enemy. In desperation, Tuhai had no choice but to make two preparations, one was to write to Kang Mazi again, stating to Kang Mazi the strength of the Wu army's field and land warfare, and asking Kang Mazi to adjust the issue of troop transfer, that is, begging Kang Mazi to transfer troops from the most fatal Hanyang-Huangzhou line, and maintain a reserve for De'an behind Hanyang.

Tu Hai's second-hand preparation is the issue of troop deployment, Tu Hai speculated and estimated that if Wu Lao Han did not want to play tricks, then the Wu army of Wuchang was naturally not afraid; If Wu Lao Han wants to play tricks, then it is impossible for the main force of the Wu army to move a large number of times to hide his scouts and meticulous eyes, from Changsha to Wuchang more than 800 miles down, he has enough time to react and adjust, so the Wu army wants to use the Wuchang battlefield as a breakthrough, it is already very unrealistic, and the only thing that may be chosen as the breakthrough of the Wu army is the Luoshan ferry close to the mouth of Dongting Lake.

In view of these circumstances, Tuhai quickly made a bold decision, if Kang Mazi insisted on transferring 60,000 troops from the Huguang battlefield, then he would deploy 20,000 of the remaining 30,000 troops to Luoshan, and then ask Rabu to divide thousands of troops and transfer them to Chuyang to be stationed as a reserve force at any time. As for Hanyang and Huangzhou, only 10,000 troops were deployed for defense, anyway, the peace treaty stipulated that the Wu army was not allowed to station a naval division in Wuchang, even if the civilian boats were temporarily requisitioned to cross the river, there was not much combat effectiveness, and the Luoshan garrison was in the upper reaches, and it only took less than a day to return to Wuchang if the situation was found to be wrong, and it would still be safe to ensure that nothing went wrong!

In the next few days, it can be said that it was the most tiring few days of the post station along the way from Wuchang to the capital, and all kinds of situations in the performance and adjustment of the various units of the Wu army were reported by Kabula three times, and each time they were sent to the capital in an endless stream of eight hundred miles that are never easily used in ordinary times, and they were continuously sent to the capital day and night -- this is the most consuming method of transmission of war horses, usually an 800 li rush to the capital, and two or three war horses had to be exhausted, and the continuous 800 miles were transmitted, and the horses almost had no time to rest, which was a more fatal consumption rate.

The sacrifice of the war horse is still worth it, more than five days later, the details of the peace agreement and Tuhai's recital were sent to the capital at the same time, Kang Mazi did not say anything after reading it, just patiently waited for the rest of the news, and after receiving the news of the Wu army's performance and withdrawal for several days, on the sixth day of October in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, Kang Mazi finally made up his mind and made an order: "The first will, 800 miles to the Cao transport fleet stationed in Jiujiang, let them immediately transport the military money and grain to Wuchang, and the fleet will stay in Wuchang to listen." ”

"The second decree is also to send Jieshu urgently with 800 miles, so that he will lead the Huguang garrison of 60,000 troops, take the Cao transport fleet and the Yangtze River Navy warship to the south, and rush to Zhejiang to rescue Jinhua and Ningbo, and be sure to annihilate Geng Jingzhong's northward thief army!"

"The third decree is to expedite Kabula with 800 li, so that he can continue to monitor the movements of the Wu thief army, and send another order to the Jiangxi garrison to fulfill the peace treaty and adjust the garrison."

"Pierce." Suo Etu agreed, and asked tentatively: "Master, Tuhai has repeatedly asked for Huguang to leave a reserve ....... ”

"Cowardly as a mouse!" Kang Mazi, who had been on fire for a long time, finally caught the reason to vent, patted the pseudo-dragon case and roared: "Wu Sangui's old thieves have already withdrawn from the Yangtze River first, what else is he afraid of?" He has a superior water division, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, and there is the support of the army of Rabu and Shangshan, if he can't hold the Yangtze River, then he can die! Wu Sangui's old thief's army is so powerful in field and land warfare, do I dare to transfer the army over there in Jiangxi? If Wu Sangui's old thief takes the opportunity to take Jiangxi and opens up the connection with Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, then my Jiangnan will be over! ”

"Za, zha." Suo Etu sweated like pulp, and quickly kowtowed again and again.

Kang Mazi finally suppressed his anger, and then ordered: "By the way, tell Tuhai in his will, so that he does not need to be afraid, within a month, the newly recruited 80,000 troops in Henan, Zhili and Shanxi and other places will be fully equipped, and they will go south to the areas of De'an, Anlu and Jingmen in Huguang, where they will train and serve as a reserve for him." ”

Suo Etu hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, and led the ministers of the South Study to quickly draft the decree. After a few days, the three decrees were sent to Jiujiang and Hanyang respectively, and the Jiujiang side immediately went west according to the order, and sent the 10.5 million taels of silver and 1.5 million stone grain that had been prepared long ago to Hanyang. And after Tu Hai knelt down and read Kang Mazi's will, he was worried - although Kang Mazi made it very clear in his will, there would be reinforcements from the new army north of Hanyang within a month, but within this month, the Qing army's Yangtze River defense line would be in a very fragile and dangerous state, and if Wu Lao Han annihilated the contract by cheating, even if he attacked head-on, he would be quite sure.

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." After a long sigh, Tu Hai helplessly turned to his deputy Cai Yurong and asked, "South of Wuchang, has there been any abnormality in the past few days?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, I didn't find anything abnormal." Cai Yurong replied respectfully: "The old thief of Wu Sangui did not have any army movements except for sending more than 1,000 troops to escort our prisoner of war team north from the official road of Yuezhou. It seems that in order to become the emperor, Wu Sangui's old thief plans to honestly fulfill the peace agreement. ”

"I hope so." Tu Hai let out a long sigh again, cheered up again, and said solemnly: "Cai Butang, according to the predetermined plan, after Prince Kang leads the army south, I will move to Luoshan with Chabeile, and Hanyang City and Hankou will ask you." Although it is impossible for Wu Sangui's old thief to deceive, tear up the peace treaty and suddenly storm the Yangtze River defense line, it is impossible to escape the eyes of our Luoshan garrison, but just in case, you still have to be cautious for me in Hanyang, be careful, even if you fall asleep, you have to open an eye for me! ”

"Please rest assured, if Hanyang fails, the commander will not take action, and the lower official will ask the commander to take the blame to the commander!" Cai Yurong replied confidently.

"If Hanyang loses, you will definitely not have enough heads! And your nine clans, none of them can escape! Tu Hai reminded sharply, and then advised: "By the way, when it is time to exchange prisoners, our warships must not cross the river, and we must prevent Wu Gou from taking the opportunity to grab a boat to cross the river!" You contact Wu Yingqi, who stayed in Wuchang, and find an excuse at will, even if you give him a little benefit, you also want him to requisition civilian ships to carry prisoners of war across the river, and return to transport grain, grass and military pay across the river! However, when his civilian ships cross the river, they must also be closely monitored by the sailors on the river, and heavy troops must be deployed on the wharf to take precautions! ”

"Rest assured, big handsome, it's on the humble duty." Cai Yurong replied with a smile: "Wu Yingqi's straw bag is well-known for being greedy for money and good wine, just give him a little benefit, keep him and agree." ”
