Yanping was an envoy of Dasu who received him in the palace of the county king. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info envoys are Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Dutong Yonggui and Fujian Zuobu Zheng Zhang Jing.

Yonggui was originally a person with a white flag, and during the Chongde period, he attacked Shandong in the Ming Dynasty with Dolgon. During the Battle of Songshan, Yonggui and the commander of the Guardian Army, Ilde, defeated the Ming army in a row, forced into Songshan by heavy rain, and defeated the Ming cavalry in one fell swoop. At that time, Cao Bianjiao, a fierce general and general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, attacked the Yellow Flag flood land at night, and Yonggui led the army to defeat it. After Dolgon's death, Shunzhi stripped many of the two white flags into the two yellow flags, and Yonggui became the capital of the positive yellow flag. Last year, Dasu led the army to attack Jinxia, and Yonggui led his own flag boat division to defeat more than 200 ships of the Zheng army on the Wulong River, which was the only victory of the Qing army, so Dasu relied on it very much.

Zhang Jing was originally the prefect of Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army entered Fujian, he opened the city to surrender to the Qing Fujian governor Tong Guoding, and was still appointed as the prefect of Quanzhou, and later moved to Fujian according to the deputy envoy, and then promoted to Fujian Zuobu Zheng. As long as he finishes this term, he is expected to take over the post of governor of Fujian, and he doesn't want the situation to change greatly, let alone the post of governor now, I am afraid that even the officials of the Qing Dynasty will not be able to stand it, and I am naturally depressed.

Yonggui and Zhang Jing brought Da Su's intention to seek peace, and Da Su was willing to exchange 2.6 million taels of silver, 1,000 stones of grain, and some other materials in exchange for Zheng Jun's refusal to invade the mainland, and was more willing to negotiate peace with the Qing court for Yanping with the six conditions of "not removing hair, not being easy to obey, not receiving edicts, not paying taxes, not being a minister, and asking for the title of king".

If Yanping was unwilling to negotiate peace and insisted on taking Fujian, Yonggui and Zhang Jing also expressed their understanding, but Yonggui euphemistically conveyed the last condition of Dasu, which is also their bottom line, that is, Fujian Province can be ceded to Yanping, and then Yanping must be transported by sea ship to the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners of Fujian and the civil and military officials to return to the north, otherwise Dasu will swear to defend Fuzhou with the whole Fujian banner soldiers.

It is said that it is better to be a broken jade, not a complete tile!

Da Su threatened Yanping and forced him to accept his terms, either to make peace or send them back to the north.

After hearing this, Yanping sneered, and said to Yonggui and Zhang Jing: "In the past, my mother was insulted by the Eight Banners and died, and I followed the law of the Japanese people, cut my mother's abdomen, cleansed my intestines, and re-accepted it for burial. At that time, there was an oath that I would fight against the Qing Dynasty all my life, and I would never die with you, so you think I would agree to Dasu's conditions? ”

Yonggui couldn't understand Chinese, and Zhang Jing didn't translate it to him, so he saw Yanping's face angry, and he was afraid that what he wanted would not be done, and he was very frightened in his heart.

Zhang Jing was speechless, he knew that Zheng Chenggong had deep feelings for his mother, Mrs. Weng. After Mrs. Weng was raped to death by the soldiers of the Eight Banners, Zheng Chenggong once cast a statue of Mrs. Weng with gold, and used agarwood as a bed and five-color jewelry as a curtain to cherish and worship. But this golden statue was snatched and burned away by the Qing army, so the grudge between the two sides was too deep to be resolved, and Dasu's idea of peace was also taken for granted.

Yanping had no intention of negotiating peace with Da Su, in the past, he and the Qing court were false and wronged, just to give himself a chance to breathe, how could he have the heart of making peace with the Qing court. Now that the southern capital has been lowered, Ma Fengzhi attacked Zhejiang anyway, and the Qing army in Fujian is like a bird in a cage, he just doesn't want to lead his troops north to add icing on the cake to that Xiucai, and how can he give up Fujian Province at his fingertips.

After ordering people to send Yonggui and Zhang Jing away, after Yanping and his wife Dong Xi and his son Zheng Jing had dinner, he immediately ordered Liu Guoxuan to summon the civil and military forces to discuss whether to go north and join the Taiping army in the southern capital or attack Fujian.

Yanping knew that he had not expressed his stance on the news of the southern capital in the past few days, which had caused confusion and worry among the generals, and many people were worried about whether he was still sitting and watching the defeat of the Duke of Guangdong as he did when he attacked Hao Shangjiu and did not join the king of Jin in Guangdong. Even after hearing that the feudal lord had received Dasu's envoy, the generals from the north said angrily that the feudal lord did not want to negotiate peace with Dasu, and if this was the case, then they would leave Jinxia and go to the southern capital of Yueguogong.

Rumors have been flying for a few days, and people's hearts are panicking, and today the lord of the domain finally wants to make up his mind. The news spread, and all the civil and military officials in Siming Prefecture came, and the clan was also represented by Zhu Hongheng, the son of King Lu.

The meaning of the clan is very clear, hoping that the army of Yanping Qi will enter the river and join the Taiping army and the Zhejiang army in the southern capital. Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, did not respect the eternal calendar, and knew that he could not ascend to the great treasure, and he was old, so he asked the prince Zhu Hongheng to persuade Yanping, saying that the southern capital was under the king, and the king of Tang would go to the southern capital to ascend the great treasure. The implication is that he does not want Yanping to support the army by himself, and then fight against Tang Jianguo and start a new stove, which will lead to the ruin of the situation.

Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai, and Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, both supported the Tang Jian State to ascend to the great treasure, and Zhu Linwei, the king of Yongxing, who had been supported by Yanping after taking the southern capital, also privately revealed that he wanted to go to the southern capital to meet his uncle as soon as possible.

Zhu Linwei is the son of Emperor Longwu's second half-brother Zhu Yujian, Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yulu and Tang Jianguo Zhu Yuyi are his uncles, and Longwu and Shaowu have been broken, and Tang Jianguo is childless, so if Tang Jianguo ascends the treasure in Nanjing, then he must succeed one of his sons and nephews, so Zhu Linwei is the ironclad candidate for the crown prince and the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days, some clans and officials in Jinxia have come to visit Zhu Linwei, and the former fallen kings and grandsons are now very hot.

After Yanping waited for the civil and military to arrive, he first asked Liu Guozhuan to inform everyone of the fact that Dasu sent an envoy to make peace, and everyone was determined to hear that the feudal lord refused Dasu to make peace.

"It is right for the feudal lord to refuse to ask for peace, and now he is a dog in distress, and it is unreasonable for us not to beat him." After Xuanyi, the town general Wu Hao said with a smile.

Zheng Tai also smiled: "Da Su knows that he can't hold Fuzhou, so he begged us for mercy, hehe, you want us to let them return to the north and spread it, won't my Jinxia soldiers become traitors?" ”

"The feudal lord will order that the last general is willing to lead the army to take Fuzhou and cut off his head as a urinal!"

Yanping's personal guard general Zhongyong Marquis Chen Ba got up to ask for battle, but everyone was stunned when they saw it, because if they attacked Fuzhou, they would not be able to go north and join the Taiping army in the southern capital.

Yan Ping saw everyone's doubts, and said bluntly at the moment: "This domain has been thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days, our army has just retreated from the Yangtze River, and the ship has not been overhauled. And it is not the way to use troops to seek the near and far, so this vassal intends to send troops to attack Fuzhou first, and then decide whether to divide or veto after taking Fujian Province. ”

Zheng Tai nodded, he is also inclined to take Fujian immediately, otherwise there will be many dreams at night, once Ma Fengzhi breaks Zhejiang, the Guangdong Taiping Army will definitely go north to attack Fujian, if Fujian falls into the hands of the Taiping Army, then the matter will be troublesome. Zheng Jun can't fight the Taiping Army again, right? As for the matter of meeting the southern capital and serving the king of Tang together, he has no attitude, let the feudal lord decide for himself. His concern is Beijing's.

"The Duke of Yue recovered the southern capital, Zhang Shangshu was also in the southern capital, Liangguang and Huguang recovered the Ming Dynasty, although our side suffered a small defeat in the southern capital, but our military strength was not greatly damaged, so the situation is really favorable to me. Dasu did not have many soldiers, and we were afraid of the Battle of Jinxia last year, and the Taiping army in Guangdong invaded southern Fujian several times. Now he is even more frightened and wants to ask me for mercy, how can we spare him? The feudal lord raised a large army, and Fuzhou was at his fingertips... It's just that the uncle is still subject to the Tartars, so he can't ignore it. ”

Yanping shook his head and said: "Back then, I told my second brother that I had not been edicted for a day, and my father would be glorious in the court for a day; If I have a naginata, it will be difficult for both father and son to predict. Over the years, I have been an enemy of the Qing Dynasty all the time, and the previous time I even entered the Yangtze River and almost recovered the southern capital, so the Qing Dynasty did not dare to harm my father, but today? I dare say that I took Fujian, and the Qing Dynasty would not harm my father, but would treat him more kindly. ”

"That's just as well." Zheng Tai thought so, "Tartars are not stupid people, they must always leave a way back." ”

Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, also agreed with the opinion of the feudal lord, and he said to everyone: "Originally, because it was a baseless place, the feudal lord only sought to take the east, but now Fujian can get it, and there is no need to send troops to the east." When the morale of the army soared and the Qing army in Fujian was panicked, the feudal lord should immediately send troops to the mainland to recover Fujian Province! ”

Zheng Tai and Chen Yonghua both supported attacking Fujian first, and most of the civil and military forces had no opinion. Whether it is going north to meet the teacher, or fighting Fujian, it is all for the purpose of regaining sight. And the latter is more beneficial to Zheng Jun now, after all, Zheng Jun needs a piece of land too much. With Fujian Province raising troops, the Zheng army can truly feel at ease.

Yanping immediately issued a military order, personally led the original army to attack Dasu, and made people report back to the southern capital, saying that Jinxia could not meet the southern capital at the moment.
