Looking at the wooden box in front of him, as well as the dead head inside, Wu Sangui was furious, and his eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, reached out and closed his brother's eyes, picked up the box and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Revenge." Wu Sangui squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

Duoduo stepped forward to stop him, "How do you want to take revenge, rush out like this, and then rush to the Great Wall with your troops to break the city?" ”

"This revenge will be avenged." Wu Sangui said hatefully.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not necessarily now." Duoduo grabbed Wu Sangui, "You calm down, if you are angry now and lead the troops to fight the pass, wouldn't that be the trick of Liu Jiye?" If you don't hear it, you won't send out your troops in anger? ”

"My eldest brother can't die in vain."

Duoduo pulled Wu Sangui back to his seat, "No one said that General Wu would die in vain, so I turned around and asked the court to posthumously crown General Wu as a duke and allow his son to attack the title." ”

Hauge also came over, "Impulse can't solve the problem, let's calm down first and discuss the countermeasures." ”

Liu Jun beheaded Wu Sanfeng and sent back a head, which was indeed unexpected by all of them. They originally thought that if Wu Sanfeng went to show his intentions, then Liu Jiye would be happy and willing to cooperate with them. No one expected that Liu Jiye would actually cut Wu Sanfeng with one knife.

"This Liu Jiye is really a little incomprehensible. Is he really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't he want to negotiate peace? Azig stroked his beard and said.

Zu Dashou was also very annoyed, but he still kept calm.

"I don't think Liu Jiye will be a loyal minister, and I think Liu Jiye will definitely be willing to negotiate peace. Otherwise, he would not have retreated his troops to defend, if he wanted to fight, it is estimated that the soldiers on the Liaodong side would have already hit Liaoyang City. ”

"And what does he mean by that?"

Zu Dashou shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.

"What do we do now?"

"Continue to send people over for peace talks." Duoduo said slowly. Now they can't ride their horses, and they can't talk about it. If they really want to fight, they can't break through the defense of the Ming army. It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to stay forever. It is now the end of March, and the ice on the Liao Sea is almost melting, and the ice on the Liao River is about to melt.

This means that the Ming army will soon be able to counterattack in a big way.

Whether it is landing and sweeping along the coast of eastern Liaoning, or landing in western Liaoxi to intercept supplies, or even cutting off their way back, and going straight up from the Liao River to attack Liaoyang, it will never be good news.

For the Qing army, they are still willing to negotiate peace, and the key is to retain the benefits of this troop occupation.

This time the troops were dispatched. They actually recaptured Liaoxi, which had been returned to the Ming army, by accepting the surrender of Wu Sanguizu Dashou, of course.

For the Qing army, they not only took back Liaoxi, but also recruited Wu Sanguizu and others to come, which was extremely important for them who had just experienced that defeat.

After gaining so many benefits, it would be beneficial for them to renegotiate peace with the Ming army. Previously, Duoduo asked Wu Sanfeng to go to see Liu Jun and proposed to support Liu Jun as emperor. The goal is to keep these results directly, and even want to get more.

It's a pity that Liu Jiye slashed Wu Sanfeng with one sword, which also made Duoduo a little confused about Liu Jiye's true thoughts.

At least now Liu Jiye has not accepted their support, so that's it. It also made Duoduo's plan to blackmail Liu Jiye miscalculated.

"Send someone south again, but this time in the name of the messenger."

"Let's try it first." Hauge couldn't think of a better way. If it really doesn't work, then they will have to retreat to Liaoxi

"Qingyu is suing for peace!"

As soon as the envoys sent by the Qing people entered the Great Wall, the news immediately spread back to the Jingshi.

"As soon as the king of the county came out. Sure enough, Qingyu immediately sued for peace. ”

The people of Jingshi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news, and they took it for granted. The king of the county has not lost a battle so far, especially the king of the county once annihilated the Tartars in the Liaohe River. Cutting Huang Taiji and breaking Liaoyang to encircle Shenyang, it can be described as the nemesis of the Tartars. There is a county king who personally went out to Beijing to supervise the division, and the Tartars don't know that it is powerful.

"I just don't know how the imperial court will deal with it this time."

"If you want me to say, you can't agree to sue for peace, Wu rebelled, and the Qing people immediately took the opportunity to offend me in Liaoxi, how can this be forgiven. Don't say anything, fight back, break him Liaoyang again, and surround him Shenyang. ”

"Hey, this man, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, right? Why don't you fight if you say it's going to fight? As soon as this war starts, there must be countless casualties, which officers and soldiers are not raised by their fathers and mothers, and how do you know that you will be able to win the war, in case of an accident, let the Tartars enter the customs at that time, and it is not the common people who are unlucky. Moreover, even if we can win the war, once the war starts, we will definitely have to recruit people's husbands, and prices will have to rise sharply. ”

The one was resisted, so he had to whisper, "But you can't just make peace like this, then our Liaoxi will be lost in vain, and Wu will be reversed in vain?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the princes of the court will definitely have a countermeasure. With the king of the county here, no matter what, it won't let the Tartars run rampant. ”

When the news of the Qing people's request for peace reached the court, the ministers of the court and the central government were indeed discussing the matter.

There was almost no need to discuss, from the first assistant Wu Fu to the military secretary Chen Xinjia, and the privy envoy Fan Jingwen, all agreed that they should accept the Qing's request for peace and began to negotiate with the Qing.

No one wants to fight, even if Liu Jun, the capable county king, personally sits in charge of the division, but the hundred officials in the court still have a natural fear of the Qing army in their hearts.

On the other hand, Wu Fu was also a strong advocate of the peace faction, and he was unwilling for Liu Jun to lead his troops to fight against the Qing army. If it is defeated, then it will be a disaster, and he, the first assistant, will bear the brunt. If he wins, then Liu Jiye's prestige will go further, compared to the previous thing that he advocated to surrender Wu Sangui and ask Wu Sangui to be knighted, then he will be even more pressed by Liu Jun and can't raise his head.

Negotiate peace now, immediately summon Liu Jun back, and let him preside over this peace.

Wu Fu invited Chen Xinjia to the cabinet's own duty room.

"Ben Bing, I would like to ask you to preside over this peace meeting." As soon as Chen Xinjia entered the door, Wu Fu said straight to the point.

"I'm just sitting on a cold bench now, the military department is just an idle yamen, and the Privy Council has to be responsible for such an important matter as peace talks."

Wu Fu shook his head, "Don't mention the Privy Council, the Privy Council is now his Liu Jiye's private." Fu Shan relied on Liu Jiye to be the backstage, and he didn't take Fan Jingwen in the Privy Council at all, and he took care of everything, he just didn't go up or down, he grabbed the boss and grabbed power. The Privy Council is now completely Fu Shan's Yiyan Hall, and Fu Shan mainly does everything according to Liu Jun's intentions. To put it bluntly, I can't trust them. ”

Chen Xinjia raised his eyebrows, "Not only the Privy Council, but also the Ministry of War." Army Commander Deng Yuan, Navy Commander Zheng Zhilong, General Armament Director Zhao Shun, and General Logistics Director Qin Liangyu were all Liu Jiye's people, and now the military department has set up cavalry commander, artillery commander, engineer commander, army sailor commander, and Marine Corps commander. ”

Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department and the Privy Council, the Ministry of War has no right to transfer troops, and has only become a simple military and political department, and now Liu Jun has set up commanders of various arms in the Ministry of War, and has divided the only remaining real power of the Ministry of War to his subordinates. Now that he is the secretary of the military department, he is a bad person, that is, he is in charge of the archives and stamped it.

"Yuanfu, someone in the military department found a lot of clues, Liu Jiye on the one hand of large-scale reduction and merger of the original military towns, wantonly installed his old department to reorganize the new army, and secretly built several towns of soldiers and horses. According to the information found, in addition to the towns on the surface, Liu Jiye at least controlled 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, all of which could not be found on the roster of the military department, a shadow army, which could not be found on the account, did not know the establishment, the number of people, the station, and did not know anything. But such a shadow army has no less than 100,000 horses, and it is in the land of Gyeonggi, which is terrifying to think about. ”

"I don't think Liu Jiye spent a lot of money to raise 100,000 ghost troops, just to secretly guard the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Fu sighed.

"I understand it now, the key is that Liu Jiye controls the financial power, he has the silver in his hand, and he can do whatever he wants. But we don't have a penny in our hands, and we can't do anything we want. ”

With a sigh, he said again, "By the way, Your Majesty went out of Beijing to hunt in Xishan, and hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Haven't come back yet."

"How long is Your Majesty going to hunt?" Wu Fu said dissatisfiedly, "Is there no one who can persuade Your Majesty well." Your Majesty is so young, but it is not easy to study, but all day long either riding and shooting, or hunting. I heard that His Majesty also canvassed his own votes to build a dragoon company in imitation of the new army, and became the captain of the company himself? Isn't that nonsense? ”

"It's not Liu Jiye yet, everything depends on Your Majesty. Don't you know that the imperial court's finances are so tight, but Liu Jiye openly and secretly gave His Majesty five or six million silver dollars, which is still less than a year. So many silver dollars have all entered His Majesty's inner treasury, and with so many silver dollars, His Majesty is not tossing as much as he wants. ”

"No wonder Your Majesty will obey Liu Jiye's words and obey him, if you can give Your Majesty five or six million private money a year, Your Majesty will probably be obedient to you." Chen Xinjia smiled helplessly. "It's thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's time to play. I guess I won't come back if I haven't played enough. Fortunately, now that the Beijing division is stable, and there are guards and pro-soldiers with him, there is no need to worry too much about safety. ”

Wu Fu's brows furrowed, "If it goes on like this, wouldn't it be another Emperor Wuzong?" ”

"That's really how Liu Jiye is happy, then he happens to be in power."

"I think this Liu Jiye is Wang Mang and Sima Zhao." (To be continued.) )
