In the southern suburbs of Beijing, the Fengtai camp was originally a military camp for the troops of the Beijing Garrison Division, but due to the hasty retreat of the Qing army, the equipment was not destroyed, and now it was requisitioned by the Ming army, and Liu Ziguang's handsome account was located in the center of the camp.

Liu Ziguang is different from other marshals who like to engage in a democratic style, especially when discussing the military situation, advocating expressing their opinions and speaking freely, and the generals are all sitting on chairs covered with animal skins, with cigars in their hands, their brows are tightly locked, and their expressions are serious, looking constipated.

A huge sand table was placed on the table in front of the generals, which was a model of Beijing City, the inner and outer cities, the imperial city, and the palace were all available, and even the important yamen, barracks, warehouses, and even palaces in the city were marked, and the terrain outside the city was also fully simulated, and the rivers, roads, and peaks were all made according to the scale.

The generals looked at this huge city from the perspective of God, and they all fell into deep thought, 20,000 soldiers fought a large city with a population of one million, but it was a rare example in military history, and according to intelligence, the weapons of the Qing army were not much worse than them, the arquebus must be a large number of equipped artillery, and it seemed that there were not a few, and what was more terrible was that the Qing army had mastered the use of explosives, which made the advantage of the Ming army in weapons suddenly become less obvious.

This battle is not easy to fight, there are so many Manchurians in Beijing, even if it is defeated, it is difficult to control it, is it possible to kill them all? Now there are two opinions, one is to continue to exert a psychological offensive to disintegrate the Manchus from within, and the other is to implement airborne landing, drop the elite troops directly into the palace, kidnap Da Yu'er and Xuan Ye, and force the Qing army to surrender.

Both methods have shortcomings, Beijing City must have done a perfect way to deal with the siege of such a big city, if you want to hold on for a year, the time is still okay, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not drag down the Red Shirt Army, the first collapse, although the Beiyang Navy Division and China Merchants Bureau's shipping capacity is very strong, but what is spent is all white money, as soon as I heard that canned pork is transported from Shanghai to the suburbs of Beijing, the transportation cost alone is a hundred copper coins, and the soldiers' eating, drinking, Lasa, vacation, and entertainment are all costly, although Liu Ziguang is rich, he can't withstand such a toss, not to mention that the current situation is not allowed to drag on any longer, and he must fight to free up his hands to deal with Hong Chengchou。

As for the airborne palace, Liu Ziguang didn't think about it, but this tactic was too risky, the Manchu Qing Dynasty already had artillery airships, so they didn't dare to enter the city, even if they took advantage of the night to venture into the city and drop thousands of soldiers in the Forbidden City, how could they serve the soldiers of the death camp, even if they were covered in iron, and they could hit a few nails, could the arquebuses in the hands of the Qing army be burning sticks? The airborne troops carry less ammunition and supplies, and when they run out, they become lonely soldiers, only a dead end, the palace is so big, there are so many guards, can they catch Da Yu'er and Kangxi, even if they can be caught, what can they do? The Qing Dynasty was not monolithic, and none of those iron hat kings were fuel-efficient lamps, and the emperor was captured, and they could change one at any time, so this road would not work.

At the same time, in the Forbidden City Qianqing Palace, Kangxi also had a dignified face, the Ming army once pretended to be the Jade Emperor and threatened to go to war, saying that it would enter the Forbidden City within three days, although various preparations had been made in the city, but Kangxi had no bottom in his heart, Kangxi was different from Zhu Youxiao, he read sage books since he was a child, learned Wen Taowu strategy, and knew nothing about science and technology, and the use of Nan Huairen was purely by chance, and in his heart, the floating fortress of the Ming army was really a big heart, in case this huge thing really flew over the Forbidden City, the existing weapons of the Qing army were used, and if he had no choice, he would really be defeated。

Nurhachi's descendants not only have a warm blood, but also a smart and wise mind, Kangxi thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, he felt that it was better to surrender without a fight, so he immediately set up Cining Palace to ask for the opinion of the ancestors.

After discussion, the two of them reached an agreement, mainly to make a procrastination, as long as the Ming army's attack was delayed, there would be more hope, and I hoped that Da Yu'er would know that Hong Chengchou would never abandon their ancestors, and the Qing army in Shandong would definitely exert more pressure on the Ming Kingdom, and now it is just a matter of who can support it better.

Although the two countries have deep grievances, peace is always longed for, so why can't we sit down and talk about it? On behalf of the Manchu Qing envoy is Prince Xian Fushou, the identity of this prince is not simple, his father is the eldest son of Huang Taiji - Prince Haoge of Heshuosu, he himself is Kangxi's cousin, 27 or 8 years old this year, has been very low-key, until the Ming army hit the city of Beijing, only to actively recruit the people to train Ding, for other Manchurian nobles to set an example.

Haoge was killed by Dolgon, but the relationship between Shunzhi and Dolgon was not very good, Kangxi was also dissatisfied with this actual grandfather, so the relationship between Prince Xian and the court was still very good.

Prince Xian accepted the task without hesitation, took a cart of treasures and jade vessels from the palace, went out of Yongding Gate with a white flag, and ambushed the Ming army near the city gate.

Prince Xian's peace negotiation team did not have too many people, a few palace guards, two eunuchs, and twenty guards of the cavalry battalion, and Liu Ziguang originally planned to drive them back after receiving things, but Fu Shou said a word that made him change his mind, Fu Shou said, doesn't the marshal want to get back his fiancée?

This is Liu Ziguang's forbidden belly, since the other party took the initiative to propose, let's talk about it and see what tricks they have. Liu Ziguang and Fu Shou had a frank and friendly bilateral meeting, and finally reached an agreement, the Ming army withdrew fifty miles, a one-month truce, and the Qing State returned Dai Wenpei.

When the rich ribbon left, Liu Ziguang summoned the generals and said the conditions of the Qing Dynasty, it turned out that Kangxi gave Liu Ziguang an incredibly high price, as long as he promised to withdraw from the army, he would offer 10,000 taels of gold and 2 million taels of silver as a labor army, and in addition, he respected Liu Ziguang as the king, and was willing to cooperate with him to seize the Ming Dynasty, and since then the north and the south have been divided and ruled for generations, and there are good neighborliness and friendship.

"This is the condition that Da Yu'er, the bitch, gave to Lao Tzu, when Lao Tzu is stupid, what the people of the Luo family who love Xinjue Luo said must be fulfilled, and donkeys can go up trees." Liu Ziguang laughed.

The generals asked him what he should do. Liu Ziguang sneered and was silent, so everyone also laughed suspiciously, Da Shuai has always been a pig and a tiger, playing conspiracy, even Da Yu'er is not an opponent.

Da Yu'er in the Forbidden City also smiled suspiciously, these conditions are just to delay time, millions of taels of gold and silver are nothing, a little Dai Wenpei is nothing, she also knows that the Ming army will definitely not give up attacking Beijing, all in order to delay the date of the final decisive battle back, can be delayed for one day, one day more, one step closer to victory.

Although Da Yu'er does not leave the house, but the world's major affairs are all under her control, Nalan Mingzhu has already formed an army in Liaodong, it is better to attack Shanhaiguan, the army of the Xixia people has occupied the whole territory of Shaanxi, breaking through Tongguan and approaching Henan, and Hong Chengchou's army is also planning a big operation, and in a few days, the Red Shirt Army will naturally receive countless requests for help of 800 li, and when the time comes, it will naturally retreat without a fight.

Liu Ziguang agreed to the plea of the Qing court, and the troops were withdrawn for fifty li to show their sincerity, and the Qing court also sent 5,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver to persuade them to pay for military expenses.

Five thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver are not small amounts, enough to make up for the expenses of the Red Shirt Army for a period of time, so Liu Ziguang is also happy to retreat, the monk can't run the temple anyway, the city of Beijing is placed there, the east, north, and south are dead ends, and only entering Shanxi to the west is the only way out, as long as the Qing army withdraws from Beijing, it will be passively beaten in the suburbs, so Liu Ziguang is not worried at all.

During this period, Prince Xian came several times and sent some silver and two jewels, each time Liu Ziguang was courteous, talked very happily, and the time was ten days in a blink of an eye, on this day, Liu Ziguang was reviewing the parachute drill of the Foreign Legion on the school ground, and suddenly the flag of the Chinese army came to report that the capital was urgent, and Liu Ziguang took it and was surprised! Hong Chengchou's army actually hit the city of Nanjing!

It's incredible, Hong Chengchou used the troops seriously, and he rushed into Nanjing, in fact, this has a lot to do with Xu Zengshou, the grandfather of the country did not dare to report that he had suffered a defeat, and he wanted to wait for the Qing army to be wiped out and then pass on the good news, so Nanjing did not know the real situation in Shandong, and thought that all aspects of the fight were going well, naturally he would not deploy the army in the area between the capital and Shandong, Hong Chengchou on the one hand used suspicious soldiers to drag the Ming army in Jinan and Qingdao, on the other hand, he collected ships and went directly south from the canal, and the army bypassed all the states and counties and went straight into the Ming capital.

It is very unfortunate that the Jingying army has been drawn to Henan at this time, Yuan Chonghuan is an honest man, he did not hide the true situation, saying that the Xixia army has broken through the Xi'an Tongguan, and the combat strength of the Huguang army and Henan recruits under his command is worried, and he asked the imperial court to send the Jingying army to help the war.

The cabinet had no choice but to transfer tens of thousands of troops from the Beijing camp to Henan to reinforce Nanjing's city defense force weakened a lot, when the banner of the Qing army appeared on the Yangtze River, the capital was in a panic, hurriedly closed the city gate and reorganized the army, on the one hand, requisitioned the people of the guards in the south of the Yangtze River, Ma Qinwang, on the other hand, sent a telegram to Liu Ziguang, and asked him to rush to the aid in the starry night.

Only then did Liu Ziguang know that the Taoist family of the Qing court was a clever trick, Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang, dragged you not moving, sneak attacked your nest, see how you are?
