Since Cangzhou was captured by the National Defense Forces, the city of Beijing has become more and more chaotic, and various voices have begun to spread in the community.

There are also several versions of Tan Tai's death in the capital, the most common one is that Tan Tai was captured by the Wehrmacht and executed by Ling Chi, and it is also said that Tan Tai was killed in battle, in short, Tan Tai committed suicide, but on the contrary, it was hidden in various legends.

Dolgon knew the truth, because Tan Tai's escort commander was finally released by the Wehrmacht, and he returned to the capital, and went to Dolgon's mansion to tell him Tan Tai's last words before he died.

After Dolgon learned that the grain and grass in Cangzhou City were only enough for three days, he did not blame Tan Tai for not making the last resistance, and now he had no time to blame anyone, he knew that the last days of the Qing Dynasty were coming.

Dolgon was not reconciled, he seized the opportunity to enter the customs, he thought that the Qing Dynasty would seize the world just around the corner, but he didn't expect that a few people who appeared under the city of Yangzhou would change all this in a few years.

Dorgon didn't blame Duoduo, he knew that if he went, he wouldn't do better under the city of Yangzhou at that time, and Duoduo had done his best.

After the loss of Cangzhou, the Qing Dynasty was already in chaos, Cangzhou is only four or five hundred miles away from Beijing, and the national defense army is afraid that it will be under the city in less than half a month.

Although in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty iron cavalry often went deep into the Guannai and also visited the city of Beijing, but the city of Beijing at that time was still stable, and the Qing army could only come and walk around.

But Dolgon knew that the Wehrmacht would not come and walk around, and no one knew whether the 70,000 new troops in Beijing could hold the city, and Dolgon thought that it would not be able to hold it.

If you used to think about it only occasionally. At this point, Dorgon began to prepare to retreat to the gates.

The first step in the preparation was to let his eldest brother Azig lead 20,000 Manchu cavalry to begin withdrawing to Shengjing (Shenyang).

Dolgon had been thinking about it all the time today. The entire period of the Upper Dynasty was listless. He didn't speak, he didn't speak, and the whole court meeting was extremely dull, and only a few Hanchen played a few small things and hastily dispersed.

Dolgon bowed his head and prepared to leave the Wuying Palace, when a small eunuch came to him, knelt on the ground and reported that the Queen Mother had been invited.

What is the matter with the Queen Mother looking for herself at this time? Dolgon was a little puzzled, but still followed the little eunuch to Cining Palace.

At this time, the Cining Palace was not a rebuilt Cining Palace, and the original preparation for the rebuilding of the Cining Palace was delayed by the war.

Wait until you get to Cining Palace to take a look. The little emperor Shunzhi also came here after the dispersal of the dynasty. Dolgon stepped forward to bow down to the Empress Dowager and Shunzhi and sat down on the chair that the Empress Dowager had prepared for him.

"Uncle, it's been five years since I entered Guandingding Beijing in the Qing Dynasty, right?" Although Bulbutai had some inexplicable relationship with Dolgon, his son was present and behaved very formally, and there was a curtain between him and Dolgon.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it's been five years." Dolgon didn't know what Bulbutai meant, so he replied casually.

"But the mourning family heard that my uncle is ready to withdraw to Guanwai?" Dorgon heard some displeasure in Burbuday's words.

I don't know where the Queen Mother heard this, although Tan Tai failed to hold Cangzhou, there were 70,000 new troops in the capital. What's more, most of my Qing warriors are in the Gyeonggi area, so there is no problem in defending the capital. ”

Listened to the words of the Queen Mother. Dolgon couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, who said in his heart that the news had been transmitted to the palace so quickly? I coped with it in my mouth, but I thought about it in my heart.

This year, the eleven-year-old little emperor of Shunzhi looked at Dolgon with dissatisfied eyes, his resentment against Dolgon has been a long time, today he went to the court to find the queen mother to sue Dolgon, which made the queen mother find Dolgon to question.

"I will take the world immediately after the Qing Dynasty, what do I rely on? Did Uncle forget? Now I have only been in Beijing for five years in the Qing Dynasty, and today I am not at peace, my uncle wants to return to Shengjing, if I am not able to fight Nanjing with the great world, if I return to the bitter cold land outside the Guan, what is the way to fight it? Without waiting for Dorgon to come up with a reason, the Queen Mother asked.

"This—" Dolgon was speechless when he was questioned by the Empress Dowager Bulbuphai.

"However, a few demons bewitched the world in the name of 'angels', and you were so overwhelmed by them, I took the world in the Qing Dynasty is the destiny of heaven, and it will not be taken by the demons. The mourning family also hopes that my uncle and his ministers will rise up, straighten out the soldiers and horses, defeat the demons as soon as possible, and return me to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Despite the Empress Dowager's generosity, Dolgon was full of helplessness.

"How many demons? If only it were just a few demons. Dorgon thought to himself.

"Please don't worry about the queen mother and the emperor, the ministers will organize their troops and horses to hold Gyeonggi, and they will not let the enemy soldiers come to the capital and startle the queen mother and the emperor." Dolgon really didn't want to talk much, and he couldn't understand the mother and son who had been living in the deep palace.

"Uncle works all day long, and I hope my uncle will take care of his health." Burbutai opened the curtain and walked out, and the little emperor of Shunzhi saw it and looked at her with great dissatisfaction, but Burbutai didn't care.

Coming out of Cining Palace, Dolgon was even more depressed. He knew that the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor were looking for him today, and they didn't want to withdraw to Guanwai, it seems that this is not only the meaning of the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor, but also the meaning of many ministers, if it is just those Han Chen, Dolgon doesn't care, I'm afraid that there are many Manchus and Mongolian ministers who also mean this.

Nor did Dorgon want to withdraw, just as a man who suddenly had money, and had lived a prosperous life for a few years, and now he was asked to go back to the past, and to live a hard life again, and no one wanted to taste it.

"Invite Mr. Fan to the house." Dorgon beckoned to the guards behind him.

Since the fall of Cangzhou, Fan Wencheng has become more reticent, and he hardly said a word when he went to court, and today Dolgon has to come again.

"Mr. Fan, please take a seat." Dolgon said listlessly that his health has been very bad lately, and he has always been uncomfortable when spring comes, due to the injuries left by his early battlefield battles.

Fan Wencheng bowed to Dolgon, and then sat down in the guest seat.

"Mr. Fan. Is it true that I am at the end of my rope now? Dorgon was a direct question. It's even more painful.

"It's... I don't know if the regent wants to hear the truth or if he wants to..."Fan Wencheng stopped talking. After thinking about it and gritting his teeth, he said.

"Mr. Fan, but it doesn't hurt to say it directly, this king can still stand it." Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng, and Mr. Fan, who was outspoken and daring at the beginning, has now become evasive, which makes him feel that people's hearts are really unpredictable.

"According to the minister's opinion, now I should send envoys to negotiate peace with Nanjing." Fan Wencheng said this with some difficulty, and glanced at Dolgon after speaking.

"Mr. Fan, my Qing Dynasty and Nanjing have become an endless trend. How can I make peace with him? Dolgon knew that Fan Wencheng had other intentions, but he still asked according to his meaning.

"The minister thinks that if Nanjing can negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, it will win time for me to rectify the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses, and the regent can also send someone back to Shengjing to make arrangements as soon as possible. Fan Wencheng's meaning is actually that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and it won't be a dead horse doctor anyway, so it's always okay to try, right?

Fan Wencheng said. Dorgon was moved.

"If the gentleman is willing to talk, what are the conditions?" Dorgon asked.

"I think that now I am afraid that I can no longer use the equal division of the world as a condition for peace talks..."Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng stopped. He didn't dare to say anything more.

"Sir, do you mean that I will return to the customs outside the Qing Dynasty? Since then, there has been nothing to do with Nanjing? Dolgon said what Fan Wencheng didn't dare to say.

Fan Wencheng nodded slightly.

"Who do you think you can be the ambassador for peace talks?" When Dolgon asked this, he looked at Fan Wencheng with some expectation, obviously in his heart Fan Wencheng was the most suitable candidate.

Of course, Fan Wencheng understood what Dolgon meant, but he really didn't want to make this trip, he knew that he himself was also on the list of traitors of the Nanjing government, and removing the humiliation would not have any effect.

"The minister thinks that this peace talk is actually a peace talk between the Manchus and the Han people, if the Han Chen is chosen to go to the peace talks, I am afraid that there will be discord, if I really want to buy time for peace talks, I must send a Manchu important minister to go." Fan Wencheng's reason was very sufficient, and Dolgon frowned and thought about it.

In fact, Fan Wencheng has a candidate in mind, and that is Sony.

In another time and space history, many grievances between Sony and Dorgon did not occur due to the arrival of Luo Jian and others, and Sony, who was originally not appointed as Minister of Parliament until the year after next, had already taken office last year.

"What do you think of Sonny, the Minister of Parliament?" Dorgon asked.

"That's what the minister meant." Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon no longer wanted to go to the peace talks by himself, so he quickly nodded yes.

"Mr. Lao Fu went to the Sony Mansion to make a hard trip, but I heard that the 'angel' governor of Nanjing is now in Cangzhou, if we go to Nanjing to talk to them, others can't call the shots, I'm afraid it will take time, why don't we go directly to Cangzhou to find this governor?" Dolgon thought for a moment, and then asked Fan Wencheng.

"The regent clearly sees that the minister also intends to do so, but before asking the minister to go to the peace talks, he also asks the regent to send someone to contact the Wehrmacht." Fan Wencheng reminded.

Sonny was a little surprised by Fan Wencheng's arrival, as Dorgon's political opponent, he had been careful not to contact more Hanchen, although Fan Wencheng was not really Hanchen, but Sony had always avoided dealing with them except for official business.

When Fan Wencheng explained his intentions, Sony also fell into deep thought.

Sonny is the most sober-minded of the Manchu ministers, of course, the predicament faced by the Qing Dynasty is very clear, his inner thoughts are still retreating outside the Guan, and it is possible to keep the living space of the Manchurians, if the Nanjing government continues to fight, I am afraid that in the end the Manchus will not even have a place to stand.

"Please Mr. Fan return to the regent and say that the minister is willing to make this trip." After thinking about it for a long time, Sony finally agreed.

Seeing that Sonny was willing to send an envoy, Dolgon finally relieved himself, and immediately sent people to Cangzhou to contact the national defense army, and began to arrange the defense of Beijing City, so that Azig led the people to withdraw from the customs first, but the matter was delayed.

However, when arranging the defense of Beijing City, Dolgon ran into a lot of trouble.

Prince Azig insisted on a decisive battle with the Wehrmacht in Gyeonggi and resolutely refused to let the Wehrmacht troops come to the city, but Prince Yu Duoduo believed that the new army could only take a defensive strategy now, and should stand on the strong walls of the capital to prevent the Wehrmacht from attacking the city.

Both princes were Dolgon's siblings, both of whom had been on the battlefield for a long time and had a great deal of experience in the battlefield, and now their opinions were so inconsistent that Dolgon was really embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
