Padang.

In order to prevent any mistakes in the recruitment work and the good situation was ruined, Mulima, the general of Jingxi, personally went to Padang to greet the Sichuan side.

All along, whether in letters to Yanjing's brother or in his speeches to various places, Mulima referred to the ongoing contact with the Ming army as "appeasement."

This general direction cannot be changed, and neither can the nature.

For this reason, it is strictly forbidden to use words such as peace talks, peace talks, and armistices in official documents in the army, and those who violate them will be punished with a cane at least and sent to prison with a flail at a serious level.

All of a sudden, the military and political officials of Huguang talked about peace and change.

In the official report to the imperial court, Mulima wrote about the appeasement: "Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, reported that he had successively recovered Wuchang and Jingzhou, and more than 60 puppet officials such as Wang Yaowu, deputy general Zhao Jinzhong, and Tian Wen felt the kindness of the imperial court, and led more than 8,000 soldiers to surrender the seal. ”

He also ordered Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, who had been captured, to go to the court, saying: "The general knows that he is righteous and enlightened, and the thieves in the western mountains are willing to sacrifice their land and surrender to sincerity, as long as the imperial court treats women and children well and resettles them properly." ”

Shu Mo was in favor of the appeasement, believing that it would not only allow the Qing Dynasty to unify China, but also completely end the 20-year war and put the country on the right track.

For this reason, the Xishan puppet official can be treated excessively, of course, Shuzhong must have touted the great hero Mu Lima.

There is only one central idea, the Ming army is willing to accept the Qing Dynasty's appeasement, all of which is due to the merit of Jingxi.

As for the previous defeat, it was all Tuhai's fault.

Yang Maoxun was originally opposed to the dictatorship of the Ao Bai brothers, but now he has become Mulima's touter, and the reason is related to his capture.

The two excerpts were reported one after the other, and there is obviously a big discrepancy with the facts.

But it doesn't matter, because those who know the truth can't tell the truth.

In other words, public opinion in the court was controlled by the Ao Bai brothers, who said that whoever was white was white, and whoever said that was black was black.

The people at the bottom, whether they are banner people or Han people, honestly listen to Shaobao's preaching.

But it was not enough, Mu Lima ordered Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, to impeach Tuhai, and said: "The general of Dingxi, Tuhai, has been following the army to suppress, looting and looting, tyrannical and abnormal, so that he has provoked many popular uprisings, and he is even more greedy in the army, greedy for power, and conspired to defeat the army to achieve ulterior purposes, so he asked the court to punish him." ”

After receiving Zhang Changgeng's impeachment, Ao Bai immediately drafted a decree: "Tuhai poisons the place, the Yin column is defeated, and the crime is serious. ”

Not long after, I received an urgent report of 800 miles from Huguang - Tuhai committed suicide in fear of crime!

It's a real hammer.

Under the personal instructions of Ao Bai, the "propaganda mouth" in Beijing was immediately launched, and the Manchu and Han imperial histories wrote to impeach Tuhai, pointing out that Tuhai was the mastermind behind the defeat of Huanglongshan!

Don't say it, some people really believe it.

The majority of believers.

How dare the unbelieving group of people speak under the pressure of Ao Shaobao?

No one spoke, from the large and small strips in Beijing to the Tang newspapers sent to various places, all of them were of a unified voice, not a fact but also a fact.

The door of Tuhai's house in Beijing was smashed by the banner people, and the banner people were eager to eat Tuhai's flesh and drink Tuhai's blood.

At the same time, the call for purging the influence of Tuhai's henchmen and returning the Eight Banners to a clear and clear future is also endless.

All of a sudden, the anti-Aobai forces in Beijing were silent, lest Aobai take advantage of this to set off a big prison.

There was no sound in the Cining Palace, and Sony, who was hiding at home, was silent, which made the Aobai party more and more arrogant.

There is also an urgent need to immediately complete the work of appeasing the rest of the Ming army, so as to add another piece of peace to Ao Shaobao's political achievements!

After Mulima arrived in Badong, he first wrote a letter to Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, saying that the pacification of the rest of the Ming army was a national policy set by the first emperor when he was there, so this policy could not be changed or shaken.

Originally, due to various reasons, the Ming army refused to accept the appeasement of the Qing Dynasty, but now, under the mediation of Mulima and with the joint efforts of people of insight on both sides, a preliminary opinion has been reached on the appeasement work.

Therefore, Mulima hopes that Li Guoying can take into account the overall situation and end the three-year-long Kuidong War for the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the people can rest and recuperate and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world.

However, Li Guoying did not receive this letter, because his condition had worsened to the point that he could no longer stay in Wushan, and he had returned to Fengjie a few days ago, and before leaving, he handed over all the military affairs on the front line to Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan.

Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, who had originally wanted to withdraw his troops, couldn't help but be happy after receiving the message from Jingxi General Mulima, and without saying a word, he retreated 80 to 100 miles from the Huyi, Pingyang, and Huangcaoping lines to Wushan.

The Sichuan Green Battalion was essentially out of contact with the Ming army in Maolu Mountain, and a buffer zone of 100 miles deep and 200 miles long was formed between the two sides.

How did Mu Lima know about the filthy nature of Sichuan Green Camp in private, and he was very happy to see that Zheng Jiaolin cooperated well with the appeasement work led by him.

Originally, I was worried that the Sichuan side would not withdraw the army because of its greed, but I didn't think about it.

From this point of view, Li Guoying and Zheng Jiaolin are both smart people who know who is the real heaven of the Qing Dynasty.

The next thing to be solved in Sichuan is Shaanxi.

As long as the Shaanxi side is willing to obey his orders to retreat from General Jingxi, the success of the appeasement will be a certainty.

He Mulima can also transform from a defeated general to a hero of the Qing Dynasty.

I didn't want to not receive a reply from Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, but first received the bad news of the defeat of the Xi'an general Fu Kachan and the Shaanxi governor Wang Yizheng.

This made Mulima really a little surprised and a headache.

Because he was worried that after the Ming army won the battle on the northern front, it would have a repetitive effect of conceding to negotiate peace, that is, that Wang Wu would not make peace with the Qing Dynasty again.

In this way, how can he explain to his brother and how to explain to the court?

When he was worried, the door was gently pushed open with a "creak", and then a man was seen bowing down and carrying a wooden barrel into the house.

"General, the last general has brought you foot-washing water!"

Niu Wancheng, the general soldier of Yunyang, put the wooden barrel at Mulima's feet with a smile on his face, and put a clean white towel on his shoulder.

"Just let the people below do this kind of thing, you are also a chief military officer, where can you do this kind of thing."

Seeing that it was Niu Wancheng, who had served him for several days, Mulima's brows couldn't help but soothe.

"The following are all rough hands, how can they be as skillful as the last general."

While speaking, Niu Wancheng had already gone to take off his boots for General Jingxi.

Mulima had no choice but to cooperate, and when the boots were off his feet, he had to put his feet in the bucket.

"General, wait a minute!"

Niu Wancheng reached out to the bucket and stirred it back and forth, before nodding and saying, "The water temperature is just right, and the hot feet are comfortable, so you can soak in it, general." ”

Looking at Niu Wancheng squatting at his feet, Mu Lima couldn't help but feel sour, and couldn't help but say: "Since I was captured, I have suffered all the white eyes of the world, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and also endured all the hardships, but I didn't think that your calf would never abandon me."

Speaking of this, his eyes were red and he was a little choked.

Calf?

Niu Wancheng chuckled in his heart, only to feel that his life was about to bloom in an instant.
