That is, Ma Shiying's words made Du Yinxi change his mind and decide to negotiate peace with the Qing army, but he could not weaken the Qing army too much.

He thanked Ma Shiying, saying that he would let Ma Shiying return to Guizhou soon, and would give him 500 soldiers and horses from Congshan Pass to form an army in Guizhou.

"When the time comes, give the old man a governor of Guizhou, don't let the old man go to Guizhou without soldiers and without the right, wouldn't it make Wang Yingxiong laugh."

"Then Yima-sama, the juniors will retire first, please rest early."

After coming out of the cellar, Du Yinxi went to the palace to meet His Majesty non-stop.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, Emperor Hongguang slept very comfortably last night, and the gunshots in the mountain were not heard at all, and after dawn, the eunuch came to greet him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Block is asking to see you outside the palace."

"He's coming to see me?"

Emperor Hongguang was stunned for a moment and scolded: "When I saw him, I couldn't eat, so I said that I have a bad appetite in recent days and don't want to see anyone. ”

Bombing away the eunuchs, Emperor Hongguang went to the imperial dining room, and Meimei began to eat breakfast.

Du Yinxi waited outside the palace for a while, but was told by the eunuch that His Majesty was not in good health and did not want to see anyone, and the three adults were in charge of all matters in the court.

Negotiate peace with the Qing army, this is a big deal, and you can't let Your Majesty be kept in the dark, and Du Yinxi glared at the eunuch.

"Little Huangmen, don't spread the word here, take me to see Your Majesty, if you miss a big event, your head is worthless, and your family will also come to make up for it."

The eunuch didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Du Yinxi to the imperial dining room to meet His Majesty.

Zhu Yousong was eating happily, and suddenly saw the two of them walking here.

Looking at it again, it was Plug Yinxi, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Without waiting for him to get angry, Du Yinxi trotted forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Jiannu has arrived at Congshan Pass the day before yesterday. ”

Emperor Hongguang's body, which was still angry just now, was calmed down in an instant, he helped up Du Yinxi, and said to Du Yinxi: "Aiqing, do you mean that Jiannu came to Congshan Pass?" ”

Du Yinxi nodded slightly, and then held back left and right.

"Your Majesty, the former Congshan Pass of the Jiannu envoy wants to negotiate peace with my Daming, and the minister does not dare to make his own opinion, so he has come to see His Majesty."

Jiannu also has today, Emperor Hongguang was kind just now, and suddenly became a little hideous.

"Jiannu begged for peace, he killed how many princes of my Ming Dynasty, and the first emperor, I don't know whether he is dead or alive, you let Jiannu bullshit go back, I will fight with Jiannu to the end, I will not destroy them, I swear not to be a man."

His Majesty is so angry, and it is understandable that he was in Nanjing City, if His Majesty hadn't run fast, he would have been kidnapped by the rebels and sent to the Qing army.

"Your Majesty, this Jiannu nest was attacked by the Fusang people, the Fusang people are more powerful than the Jiannu people, the old minister thinks that the Jiannu can be in front of the Fusang people, both of them are defeated, we are cleaning up the old rivers and mountains, and recovering the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Emperor Hongguang was still passionate just now, and he was blocked by Yinxi's words, so he couldn't get off the stage.

He thought that he could make him trust him by giving a passionate speech, at least believing that he, the son of heaven, was not a bad seed, but he also wanted to make peace with the Qing army, and Emperor Hongguang's face was so embarrassed that he could pick his toes.

"Aiqing, my stomach is not very comfortable, everything in the DPRK and China is handled by Aiqing."

Then he made a constipation expression with Plug Yinxi, and Plug Yinxi was interested in retiring from him.

Leaving the palace, Du Yinxi ordered the soldiers in the pass to defend themselves to prevent new assassinations in the pass.

Because the troops in the area were mobilized, the Assassins had to hide among the people, not daring to launch new assassinations.

Plug Yinxi finally came to the city gate, and at the city gate, he met with Ling Jingyang and Jin Sheng.

After the three of them met, they all sighed, they didn't expect that there were still resistance forces in the court, judging from the scale of the assassins last night, this force was not as weak as imagined.

Jin Sheng's first sentence was to ask for blockage

Yinxi.

"Did you find the Assassin?"

"I can't find it, these assassins don't have any signs, even on their heads, there are no traces of shaving, I don't think they are Jiannu."

Ling Jingyang also echoed him.

"Maybe someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to oppose the peace negotiations with the Qing army to eliminate political opponents."

Jin Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Is it Ma Shiying and others?" ”

Du Yinxi shook his head, Ma Shiying and others were also assassinated last night, it must be that this assassin group wanted to frame the blame and provoke internal strife within the court.

Ling Jingyang also fell into deep thought, and couldn't think of who leaked the news of the Qing army's request for peace.

"Who could that be, could it be He Tengjiao who was driven away by us?"

He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun formed an alliance, and Qu Shiyun did not fight with the Qing army in the Huguang area, and the Qing army withdrew.

Qu Shiyun was also embarrassed to take it in Huguang, so he withdrew to Guangxi with his troops, but along the way, there were many Ming soldiers who deserted, which made Qu Shiyun so angry that he scolded his mother.

When he returned to Guangxi, he began to vigorously reorganize the army, and at the same time introduced the Franco machine drill code to train Guangxi wolf soldiers, and He Tengjiao also followed him to take Guangxi and eat in Guilin, Guangxi.

Ling Jingyang thinks that He Tengjiao does not have that much ability, even if he wants to take advantage of this opportunity, at least in this era when there is no telegraph, He Tengjiao can't do it in time and space. ”

The three fell silent, and the entire city gate was eerily silent.

In the end, Ling Jingyang found another way.

"Could it be that the Fusang people infiltrated the imperial court, or that Fusang Xiaozuo infiltrated Congshan Pass and launched an assassination at Congshan Pass?"

"The Fusang people have that kind of musket, even if they want to assassinate, they will not use dozens of knives to attack, and they think that there are Fusang people in the court, and this person's level should not be low, I asked people to collect information such as the origins and resumes of officials above the seventh grade of the imperial court, and I believe there will be some gains."

Jin Sheng asked Gu Yinxi and Ling Jingyang to deal with the envoys of the Qing army, and he personally went to handle this matter, so as to uproot the power of the imperial court.

"Okay, then please ask Mr. Kim."

Du Yinxi and Ling Jingyang walked towards the mansion, Jin Sheng came to the Ministry of Officials, where he began to search the mountains and seas, and Du Yinxi also transferred five hundred soldiers to him.

From noon to the next morning, there was still no harvest.

However, Gu Yinxi and Ling Jingyang had a small gain, and the two met with the Qing army envoy and found that the Qing army envoy was none other than Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou is still dressed in a money rattail braid, he used to be a Ming feudal official, and now he has become a high-level Qing army, blocking Yinxi and Ling Jingyang saw him dressed like this, they were all disgusted, Ling Jingyang did not have a city government without blocking Yinxi, and his eyes were full of disdain.

After the three of them sat down, Du Yinxi and Hong Chengchou said politely: "Lord Hong, trapped in the nest of the slaves, and still speak my Central Plains official language, which is sad and respectable." ”

This time it was a naked humiliation of Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou didn't blush, he was cheeky and blocked Yinxi, Ling Jingyang said hello, and then said.

"Two, I was ordered to come, I came for the peace of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the two are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is peace or war, the two adults have the final say."

Ling Jingyang and Du Yinxi glanced at each other, but did not speak, when the three of them formed the Big Three, they had a clear division of labor, Ling Jingyang was in charge of the military, and Du Yinxi was in charge of government affairs, and Du Yinxi was full of gratitude to Ling Jingyang, and thanked Ling Jingyang for his unconditional support.

He remained silent, Hong Chengchou saw that he did not respond, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lord block? ”

Du Yinxi nodded to him and motioned for him to continue.

Du Yinxi and Ling Jingyang did not show joy, so Hong Chengchou really couldn't figure out the two.

According to his assumption, the Qing army came to negotiate peace, which was to deign to bring hope to the Ming Dynasty.

Why did the two of them act uninterested

He had to be careful to convey Dorgon's meaning to the two of them.

"Two, the land of China is devastated, at this time the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have become a country of brothers, with the Yangtze River and the Huai River as the boundary, never invade, for the benefit of the world."

Du Yinxi narrowed his eyes.

"Where does Er Jiannu still have the confidence to say that he will benefit the world, how many people have you killed in the customs, will you open your eyes and tell nonsense?"

"In the affairs of soldiers, it is inevitable that innocent people will be killed and injured."

Hong Chengchou had a hard mouth, and blocked Yinxi and scolded him.

"And the face is bounded by the Yangtze River, I think Jiannu's hometown is going to be occupied, and you are still pretending to be garlic here?"

This made Hong Chengchou very surprised, how did he know that Guanwai was attacked by the Fusang people.

He had to change his attitude to a very kind one.

"Lord Block, and Lingdu Governor, both of them are also extremely smart, I don't go around in circles, there is indeed another powerful force outside the pass, stronger than the Qing Dynasty, my Daqing Dynasty is invincible all over the world in the Guan, to a certain extent, it is also for you to resist the attack of the Fusang people, I have said it to this point, I don't need to say any more, right?"

Sure enough, as Ma Shiying said, the Qing army will not let the Ming army slaughter it, Du Yinxi said with a smile.

"You are just an expedient measure, and when the battle line stabilizes, you will continue to write south, otherwise who will make up for your losses?"

Hong Chengchou's face was pale, the strength of the Fusang people was too strong, and Jierharang's army was defeated outside the pass, if it weren't for the Fusang people who were not familiar with the terrain, Jierharang's hundreds of thousands of troops would have been dumplings by the Fusang people.

Dolgon ordered Hauge to order 30,000 troops to go to Shanhaiguan, and the troops withdrawn from outside the pass formed a new defense line at Shanhaiguan to resist the southward offensive of the Fusang army.

"What do you want?"

Du Yinxi stood up and stared at Hong Chengchou.

"Lord Hong, it's time to return Henan and Shandong to Daming."

Henan and Shandong are the rear of the Qing army, these two places were given to the Ming army, and the Qing army was dragging the tail to the Ming army, Dolgon absolutely disagreed, but Dolgon secretly discussed with him before Hong Chengchou came to Nanzhili.

You can send Shandong to the Ming Dynasty, let the Ming army go to Shandong to fight with the Fusang army, lead the Fusang army to the east, let the Fusang army fight on multiple fronts, and also consume the strength of the Ming army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

And Du Yinxi also wants Shandong and Henan, Hong Chengchou showed an old fox smile.

"Henan, Shandong is my Qing Dynasty with the lives of soldiers, snatched from the hands of the Dashun army, you don't need to spend a soldier and a general to go back to these two places, are you not ashamed to panic?"

"Don't panic at all, that's my homeland of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to negotiate peace, you have to be sincere."

Plug Yinxi insisted on Shandong and Henan, Hong Chengchou just didn't give it, both of them insisted, to see who would be soft first.

After that, Hong Chengchou couldn't stand it, and it moisturized Ma Ning, who could return Shandong to Shandong, but let Daming redeem it with silver.

Ling Jingyang actually wants Shandong, which is coastal here, and can fight with the Fusang army, but if he starts a war with the Fusang army from the beginning, will the military strength of the Hongguang Imperial Court, which is not strong, be weakened?

However, he still did not express his opinion, and Du Yinxi said for him: "Shandong and the Fusang people are across the sea, does Dolgon want us to fight with the Fusang people?" ”

Hong Chengchou was also a little embarrassed when he saw that Plug Yinxi saw through the trick, but he quickly adjusted and said in a tone to reward his subordinates.

"Shandong is a vast land, but the regent hesitated again and again, if I hadn't fought hard to persuade the regent, the regent would never have been willing to cede Shandong."

"In that case, then please go back, tomorrow our army will cross the Jianghuai, how did you fight from the hands of the Dashun army, how can we fight back. Please come back, Lord Hong. ”

Hong Chengchou's face was very ugly, and he was so angry that he was trembling.

"Plug Yinxi, you... You ......"
