The Wehrmacht did not give Duoduo, who was desperately fleeing the capital, enough time to reorganize his troops and horses, and had just fed some beans to the horses, and before anyone could eat, the scouts had already reported to Duoduo that a large number of Wehrmacht cavalry had crossed the Yudai River and chased after them.

If it was only these cavalrymen chasing after him, Duoduo would not be afraid. But now the situation is different, from the city of Beijing desperately running here, Duoduo is already sleepy and tired, the cavalry has no speed, and this battle cannot be fought.

Duoduo looked at Tulai helplessly, the distance of seven or eight miles, the cavalry quickly caught up, if they wanted to run, they would definitely not be able to run, and now they had to let the new army block it for a while.

Of course, Turai understood this, and although he knew that the new army would be sent to intercept it, he still arranged for the 1,500-strong new army to stay behind to block the pursuit of the Wehrmacht.

Unbeknownst to Tulai, however, the Wehrmacht who came in pursuit were not all real cavalry.

Luo Jian knew that most of the troops that Duoduo had escaped were new troops, and if only two cavalry brigades were sent to pursue, the cavalry brigade would definitely not be able to take advantage of these new armies using new muskets.

There was some trouble in selecting soldiers who could ride horses from the Seventh Division, the soldiers of the Seventh Division were basically young and strong near Yangzhou, these soldiers did not have much opportunity to contact the war horses, Wang Qiang only picked out more than 300 people, Luo Jian shook his head helplessly, 300 people will definitely not work, fortunately, the mortar battalion usually relies on war horses to maneuver, and there is no problem with supporting firepower.

Ma Yingkui's regiment soon arrived, and the arrival of the regiment solved Luo Jian's big trouble, and more than 800 soldiers who could ride horses were selected from the regiment, and the two cavalry brigades each vacated part of the war horses.

That's it. Two cavalry brigades plus infantry and mortar battalions of nearly a thousand men formed the pursuit force. Wang Qiang rushed to lead the team to pursue Duoduo. Thinking that he had let Dordor go, he was going to chase him back.

Luo Jian thought about it for a long time and didn't let Wang Qiang go, Luo Jian handed over this task to Ma Yingkui.

Ma Yingkui, who hated Duoduo to death, had long wanted to take this task, but this direction belonged to the Seventh Division, and the Tenth Division came over to "grab food", plus he had an excellent relationship with Wang Qiang, so he was watching from the side before. But it is not good to fight with the king.

Now that Luo Jian has handed over this task to himself, the excitement on Ma Yingkui's face can no longer be suppressed, so he has to say sorry to Wang Qiang, and lead the pursuing troops to get dry food and ammunition, the pursuit is not a matter of a day or two, and it will definitely not work if you are not fully prepared.

Luo Jian looked at the pursuing troops that were gradually moving away, and he was still a little less confident in whether he could catch up with Duoduo, after all, this great pursuit was different from the great pursuit in the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty, although the Manchu court was no longer good, but these places were still under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty. It shouldn't have been difficult for Dordor to find enough food and grass.

Luo Jian looked farther and looked at the far east. There are still some expectations in my heart.

Duoduo led the Manchu elite to flee, and the city of Beijing was like a ripe peach. After sending off the pursuing troops, Luo Jian and Yi Bangcai, who had already caught up, began to plan to attack the city of Beijing.

"Xinghua, should we write a letter of persuasion first? It's better not to fight or not to fight, right? Zuo Maodi saw that Luo Jian was planning to attack Beijing City, and suggested beside him.

"Well, I originally wanted the chief of staff to write it, but now that Mr. Zuo is here, how about bothering Mr. Zuo to do it himself?" Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Good! Then I'll do it! Zuo Maodi did not refuse, spread out the pen and paper on the table, and after a little brewing, he began to write.

The letter of persuasion of more than 300 words was completed in one go, and Zuo Maodi finished writing it and handed it to Luo Jian.

Luo Jian took it and looked at it carefully, and the letter did not say anything like "if you don't surrender, the jade will be burned", but put forward the concept of the Chinese nation put forward by Luo Jian, and the letter pointed out that the Manchu Qing Dynasty only gave up the idea of continuing to enslave China and consciously became an ordinary member of the Chinese nation, which was the best way out for the Manchus and the only way out.

Although it was a bit difficult to read, Luo Jian still understood the whole meaning of the persuasion letter, and what Luo Jian didn't expect was that Zuo Maodi actually expressed all the thoughts and intentions reflected in Luo Jian's communication with him during this time.

Luo Jian looked at Zuo Maodi with admiration, you must know that Zuo Maodi and the members of the Southern Ming Mission were imprisoned by the Manchu court for several years, according to human nature, of course, Zuo Maodi wanted the most severe punishment to the Manchu court, but now he was able to let go of hatred and think about the problem from the overall situation of the whole country in the future, which is not a mind that ordinary people can have.

The letter of surrender was delivered the next morning to another regent in the city of Beijing, Zilharang.

After Duoduo led the Manchu elite to escape, the house arrest of Zilharang was naturally gone, and the freed Zilharang had the opportunity to understand the situation in the capital.

At the beginning, Zilharang also wanted to organize the Qing soldiers in the capital, in his opinion, with the tall and strong walls of the capital, it could always be defended for a while, but as he learned more about the situation, Jilharang's heart slowly cooled.

Not to mention the huge impact of Duoduo's escape on the remaining 50,000 or 60,000 Qing soldiers in the capital, even the offensive warfare of the national defense army during this period has also made the Qing soldiers, especially the Han army, have no fighting spirit.

It was under these circumstances that the letter of persuasion was sent to Zilharang, and Zilharang ordered his subordinates to quickly inform the ministers to discuss in the Wuying Palace, and he now has little opinion.

Not all Manchurian and Mongolian ministers could understand Zuo Maodi's letter of persuasion, and Zierharang asked Hongwen Academy to write an article and Li Wen, a member of the Zhongshu House, to explain the letter of persuasion to everyone in the Wuying Palace.

Speaking of Li Wen, he is not very famous in history, but he has been very talented since he was a child, and he was as famous as Chen Zilong and others when he was young, known as "Jiangnan Genius", but these are not the reasons why he is famous in history books, what makes him famous in history is that after Dolgon entered Beijing, he wrote a letter of persuasion to Shi Kefa, who was then the secretary of the Southern Ming Military Department, and later this letter was quoted many times in the history books.

Dolgon's letter of persuasion would be brilliant if the content was left out. Of course, Dolgon did not have such talent, and this letter of persuasion to Shi Kefa was written by Li Wen to catch the knife.

In another time and space history, Li Wen died of illness as early as 1647 because he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and he was only thirty-nine years old when he died.

The Hanchen had already understood the meaning of the letter of persuasion as early as Li Wen had read it, but the Manchurian ministers did not understand it until after Li Wen explained it.

After Li Wen finished speaking, the hall suddenly became a mess as if a pot was boiling.

It was not as domineering as Dolgon, and the situation was already so erosive, Zilharang did not have any prestige in the eyes of the ministers, and Zilharang roared for a long time before the hall was quiet.

"Don't make a fuss, what kind of system is it like this? There are things to say one by one! Mr. Feng, what do you think should be done? Zilharang said to Feng Quan.

In his opinion, Feng Quan was very active in the Qing Dynasty, and now that the Han people are fighting back, Feng Quan should be a Hanchen who actively welcomes him, if Feng Quan can make a start, he can follow his will later.

"Regent, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have personally gone to Mongolia to ask for reinforcements, if the King of Yu can return to Liaodong smoothly, he will also organize soldiers and horses to return to the capital in the near future, and the city wall is strong, there are still fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in the city, if I can work together in the Qing Dynasty, it is not easy for the national defense army to capture the capital, so according to the minister's opinion, it is the best policy to stick to the side waiting for help."

Feng Quan walked out from among the ministers and saluted Zilharang before speaking.

originally wanted Feng Quan to take the lead in proposing surrender, but when Feng Quan's call came out, Wuyingdian immediately made a mess.

"Master Feng, how did you know that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor went to Mongolia to ask for help? And it will definitely be able to bring back the Mongol army? Gang Lin, a Manchu scholar, asked Feng Quan strangely.

"This" Feng Quan couldn't say why, this was made up by his own brain, after hearing that the Queen Mother and the Emperor ran away, Feng Quan has always thought so self-righteously, and now Ganglin asked him, where can he say it clearly?

Ganglin, who knows Feng Quan better than Zilharang, understands very well that Feng Quan does not want to surrender to the Wehrmacht, he is just afraid that the Wehrmacht will enter Beijing to settle accounts with him.

"Lord Regent, the grain and grass in the capital can only last for five or six days, and even if the Wehrmacht does not attack the city, the capital will not be able to hold on. According to the minister's opinion, the current war will not be successful, and the defense will not be successful, and the Nanjing government and the national defense army regard my Manchu people as one of them, and we can be regarded as finding a way out for the Manchus. He said that his voice was not small, and the whole hall heard it.

Bahana's words made everyone quiet, in fact, everyone in the hall knew that this was the only way out they were facing now, even Feng Quan stopped talking.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and finally another Manmeng minister came out to express his agreement with Bahana's opinion, but a group of Hanchen did not come out to speak.

Just when Zilharang was still a little hesitant, the East Gate guard sent someone to send another letter from the Wehrmacht, Jilharang asked people to open it, and the Wehrmacht directly asked to send someone into the capital to negotiate with them about surrender, this time Jilharang no longer asked Feng Quan to ask, only discussed with Ganglin and Bahana, and agreed to the Wehrmacht to send someone into the capital.

It was Zuo Maodi himself who proposed to Luo Jian to enter Beijing to discuss surrender with the Manchu court, and Luo Jian thought for a moment and agreed to his request. Now that the situation is very clear, I don't dare to do anything to Zuo Maodi, and there is no problem with safety.

Luo Jian sent a hundred people from his own guard to Zuo Maodi as a guard, although a hundred people were small, but these people were the most elite soldiers of the Wehrmacht, and their spirit would cause great pressure on the Manchu ministers.

Zuo Maodi rode a horse from the east gate into the capital, the last time he entered Beijing, Zuo Maodi was with the tragic mood of "the strong man is gone", but this time it is completely different, looking at the elite young soldiers of the Wehrmacht around him, Zuo Maodi's mood is very happy.

Luo Jian's conditions for Zuo Maodi's negotiation were not high, and there was only one way to sum up, that is, all Manchu troops in the capital must withdraw from the capital, and everything in the capital should maintain the status quo, and it will be dealt with after the national defense forces enter Beijing.
