PS: The first update arrives, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes and recommended tickets! Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend Da Zeng Flai, Flying Tiger Youqingtian, Ah Li, the Eagle of the People's Liberation Army, and Ao Jing I!

The person who served as the envoy to persuade Major General Liu Zhongming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the Imperial General Staff, to surrender was none other than Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing, the adjutant of Lieutenant General Zheng Gaoxiang, commander of the 13th Infantry Corps of the Qing Army, who had just surrendered to the Imperial Army. It's not that there is no suitable person in the Imperial Army, but that Major General Liu Zhongming doesn't want to take risks. After all, he was not sure whether he could recruit Monk Greenqin, and if he sent an Imperial * officer to persuade him to surrender, he might be killed by Monk Greenqin. Let Chen Ziqing go, it will be different. Of course, although Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing's visit this time was very dangerous, it was not in vain. Major General Liu Zhongming promised that if he could succeed, he would be sent to the Imperial Army University for further study, and after graduation, he would enter the War Department. For Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing, this is completely a pie in the sky! After the Qing army surrendered to the Imperial Army, his final result was to regain his freedom and become a commoner. However, Chen Ziqing was not willing to live like this for the rest of his life, so he wanted to gamble.

If he succeeds, he will pull the line of Major General Liu Zhongming. With Major General Liu Zhongming's future status, his soaring is just around the corner. Of course, if he fails, his life will be over. For Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing, this is almost a matter of life and death. Zheng Gaoxiang, commander of the 13th Army of the Qing Army, also agreed with Chen Ziqing's gamble. After all, if Chen Ziqing succeeds and develops well in the Imperial Army in the future, he can be regarded as having a backer. Zheng Gaoxiang promised Chen Ziqing. If he dies, his family will take care of him. After having no worries, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing was naturally willing to take a look at his future.

Major General Liu Zhongming, of course, did not fool Chen Ziqing. If he can really succeed, then this will undoubtedly prove that this person is indeed a creative talent. Although the Imperial Army is getting stronger, the demand for talent is also increasing. Talents like this must not be buried because of their origins. Maj. Gen. Liu Zhongming hopes to provide them with a platform. Of course, the premise is that these people have real skills.

The commander of the Qing army, Seng Lingqin. looked at the bald guy in front of him with interest. He was very disgusted with this kind of person who betrayed the Qing Dynasty and groveled to the rebels, and he wanted to push him out and behead him. But. Anyway, now that it's almost over, he has time to listen to what this guy has to say, which can be regarded as a relief from boredom. Of course, Monk Grinqin didn't think that this guy would be able to convince him.

"Lord Wang. The situation is now very clear. The Manchus were doomed. The prince is a hero in the world, and he is in the prime of life, why should he follow the corrupt Manchu Qing Dynasty to the black? If you can surrender to the empire, there will definitely be a stage for the development of the prince in the future. Good birds choose trees to perch, this truth, the prince should be very clear. Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said bitterly.

"Humph! This king was born as a person of the Qing Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Qing Dynasty. How is it possible to surrender to the rebels? Don't waste your time. Monk Lingqin said coldly. If he could continue to live, of course he didn't want to die. But. He did not think that there was a chance to survive after surrendering to the Chinese Empire. It is better to die in battle than to surrender and then be killed by the Chinese Empire. It's a little bit more vigorous in this way.

"The loyalty of the prince is very much admired." Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said.

"Humph! Of course. How can you, ungrateful people, understand the loyalty of this king? Monk Greenqin said disdainfully.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing was not angry at all about Seng Lingqin's words, and he also knew that he had no qualifications to be angry. The man in front of him is the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and one of the senior generals of the Qing army. If it was before, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to appear in front of Monk Greenqin! Now that he can come to persuade him to surrender, he can't believe it.

"Lord Wang, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!" Chen Ziqing continued.

"Humph! They eat the king's fortune, so naturally they should be loyal to the Qing Dynasty! The reason why they will die is not because of those rebels. If those rebels don't rebel, where will such a thing happen? Monk Lingqin said with some anger. He attributed this qiē to the Chinese Empire, if there was no Chinese Empire, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be like an iron bucket, and there would be no current situation.

"The prince's words are not enough. The rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made the whole country more and more corrupt, the people were poor, and they were constantly defeated by Western countries. On the other hand, in our Chinese Empire, the people under its rule live and work in peace and contentment, and the Western powers that fight against the outside world do not dare to be presumptuous, this is what a great country should be! Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said. Although he was a Manchu officer before, he also admired the strength of the Chinese Empire from the bottom of his heart.

Monk Greenqin was silent, although he did not agree with the Chinese Empire, but he also admired the merits of the Chinese Empire. In the Opium War, the Qing army was defeated by more than 10,000 British troops, which made him feel very humiliated.

"Lord Wang, for the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers and millions of Mongolians on the grassland, you can't follow the Manchu road to the black!" Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing saw that Monk Greenqin's expression had changed, and hurriedly continued.

"What? Are you threatening me? If I don't agree, will you be angry with the Mongols on the steppe? Monk Lingqin said coldly. That cold look caused tremendous pressure on Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing, as if he was being targeted by a wild beast.

"Lord Wang, of course it's not like this! Before I came, I met with General Liu Zhongming, the supreme commander of the Imperial Army on the Henan battlefield, and the deputy director of the Operations Department of the Imperial General Staff. General Liu said that His Majesty the Emperor was very appreciative of the Mongols, believing that the Mongol cavalry was the strongest cavalry in the world. If the Mongol cavalry could have been equipped with better weapons, even the Russian Cossack cavalry would definitely not be the match for the Mongol cavalry. General Liu said that both Han Chinese, Mongols, and Manchus are all members of the Chinese nation. After the Chinese Empire unified China, it would never attack ordinary people. On the contrary, the Imperial Army would recruit a large number of cavalry from among the Mongols to fight against the Russians! When the time comes, isn't this the time for a cavalry general like the prince to give full play to his strengths? Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said.

"The Emperor of the Rebels really said that?" Monk Grinqin was a little moved. Although he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call the Chinese Empire a rebel, he still admired Long Yufei, the emperor who single-handedly established the powerful Chinese Empire.

"Of course, Lord Wang, if I have half a lie, call me a thunderbolt!" Chen Ziqing hurriedly said.

Monk Lingqin was silent, if it was really to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Long Yufei, it would not be a good thing to surrender like the Chinese Empire. At the very least, the lives of the millions of Mongols in the steppes are not in danger. What's more, if they could join the army of the Chinese Empire, it would greatly increase the status of the Mongols.

Although the Imperial Chinese Army was very strong, it was very weak in terms of cavalry. If the Mongol cavalry can become the main force of the imperial cavalry, then the Mongol cavalry will not have to worry about their livelihood in the future.

"Lord Wang, what are you still hesitating about? What is in front of you is clearly a broad road, why can't you see it? Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said anxiously. Major General Liu Zhongming has not given him much time, and if this time is exceeded, Major General Liu Zhongming will attack if he thinks that his negotiations are useless. When the time comes, not only will his efforts be in vain, but even his own life will be over!

"Tell me, what kind of conditions did the Chinese Empire offer? Say it all! It's better not to hide it! Monk Grinqin said.

"Yes, my lord. General Liu said that if the prince can lead tens of thousands of cavalry to surrender, when the Imperial Army forms cavalry, he can at least be a major general or even a cavalry commander! Of course, the premise is that the prince must be loyal to the empire. General Liu assured that by the time the Manchus were destroyed, the Mongols would not be liquidated. The status of the Mongols and the Han Chinese was also equal. The Imperial Army was to recruit a large number of Mongols in the steppes to form the Imperial cavalry units. And it was guaranteed that these cavalry units would be treated the same as those of the Imperial Army. Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said.

Monk Lingqin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Since the Emperor of the Chinese Empire is magnanimous and does not hold us Mongolians accountable, then we Mongolians are naturally not ignorant. Go back and tell General Liu that my monk Glinqin is willing to surrender! ”

"Great, Lord Wang, this choice of yours is undoubtedly wise!" Lieutenant Colonel Chen Ziqing said excitedly.

"By the way, let's talk about it, what kind of benefits did the Chinese Empire give you to dare to take on such a life-threatening mission?" Monk Lingqin asked with some curiosity. After all, come to persuade him, but he will die for a lifetime! If you're not careful, you'll lose your head.

Chen Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and then explained everything clearly, and he didn't hide it at all.

"Well, you are indeed a talent. Maybe you'll be on the rise in the future. When the time comes, everyone = indispensable to support each other! Monk Grinqin said. He will not look down on Chen Ziqing because of his current status, on the contrary, after being valued by Major General Liu Zhongming, Chen Ziqing's future is even more limitless. If you have a good relationship now, it will also be of great help to him in the future.

At 3 p.m. on October 29, 1846, the Qing army led by Monk Greenqin surrendered to the Imperial Army. (To be continued......)
