Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 204 Manqing wants to negotiate peace

"My Great Qing Dynasty" is that no one thought that the cunning Prince Zhu Cixuan of Nanming would complete such a trick, jump over Fujian from the sea, and attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Compared with the Qing court's astonishment at the huge shipping capacity possessed by the sea, they were even more panicked at the strategic disadvantage after losing Jiangnan.

After the start of the Jiangnan Campaign, Kuai Mafei reported the emergency documents to the capital and the news of the city's fall, not even as fast as the Ming army's capture.Often the news that Songjiang was broken was reported on the front foot, and the news that Lang Tingzuo asked for help came on the back foot, and the next day, a postman brought the news that Jiangning was lost.

This caused the capital to fall into a great panic, especially when the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou and Jiangning were wiped out, and the Prince Nanming planned to erect new head monuments in Yangzhou and Jiading, which caused unprecedented fear among the Manchurians.

Changing hands in the south of the Yangtze River and cutting off the water transport was a serious blow to the economy of the Qing court, but more banner people realized a problem. Nanming was able to transport tens of thousands of troops to the south of the Yangtze River by sea, and it could also transport tens of thousands of troops to the North Zhili by sea, threatening Gyeonggi!
All of a sudden, the entire capital was in a mess, every family and clan was walking around, those who begged their masters, those who did their own thing, bumped into each other like headless chickens.There are some who are self-consciously smart, and even don’t want to stay in the Beijing Normal University and the Huahua World in the Central Plains. Many Manchus say that they are old or in poor health and want to go back outside the customs.

The Bannermen who used to be aggressive and didn't take Nanming seriously, now many of them lost their courage and didn't dare to fight against Mingren anymore.

At this juncture, even Xiaozhuang couldn't sit still, she summoned four auxiliary ministers, held the hand of the little Tartar Emperor Xuanye by herself, and lectured the four auxiliary ministers.

The four auxiliary ministers were all sitting on the embroidered pier rewarded by the Empress Dowager, with their heads lowered, even Oboi, who was especially domineering these days, did not make any mistakes, and lowered his eyebrows to please his eyes.

Xiao Zhuang's voice was lazy, but it sounded full of anger. The old woman said humanely: "...for the past two days, the wife who came to the palace to pay her respects, Ai's family met many people, and each of them brought the words of the family's pillars, It means that we Manchurians entered the customs and robbed women of property, which is already enough. Now that the Han people have become stronger again, they can even go around thousands of miles in large ships to attack the south of the Yangtze River. The elites of the Qing Dynasty are about to be killed by them. It's clean, at this time, we might as well forget about the Huahua Rivers and Mountains in the Central Plains, and quickly cross the Shanhaiguan Pass, and go back to live outside the pass."

The heads of the four auxiliary ministers were all lowered, and no one spoke.

Xiao Zhuang asked Xuan Ye like he was talking about a double spring: "Little emperor, tell me, are these people right?"

Xuan Ye straightened his neck and said in a childish voice: "I think these people are not only wrong, they should be killed."

Xiaozhuang smiled, raised his hands casually, and said to the four ministers: "Do you understand what your emperor said?"

The four ministers said hurriedly: "I understand."

Xiao Zhuang's expression became slightly harsher, and he said: "When I was outside the pass, I experienced even more cruel wars. How come I entered the pass, became the world, and rode on the heads of the Han people, but became stupid and cowardly. Back then In Liaoyang and Ningyuan, if you have such an idea, it will be over early in the morning. Now that the Qing Dynasty has conquered the world, some of Zhu Ming's remnants of the rebellious party are just a little bit of a wave, and they are terribly afraid. These people are ashamed For the warriors of Manchuria, he even embarrassed Taizu Taizong and the late emperor."

When the four ministers heard this, they all got up from the embroidered pier and knelt on the ground. Among them, Oboi shouted: "The Empress Dowager, the humble ministers and others must do their best to wipe out the remaining evils of the Nanming Dynasty!"

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhuang suddenly changed the subject and said: "Pull it out? Have you put it out? Zhao Butai, Li Guoying, Kakamu and others are not generals who are accustomed to fighting, and Wang Sanfan with a different surname is not the Qing Dynasty The minister of the Zhu Kingdom, Zhu Cixuan defeated me before and after. The Qing army has no less than 20 troops. Now Murima and Hong Chengchou have only 6 to [-] troops in Huguang, and Li Sutai has only [-] to [-] troops in Fujian. The troops in the north are almost exhausted. The soldiers of the Eight Banners can't afford to wear and tear, Zhu Cixuan occupies Jiangnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and southwest of Sichuan, what do you use to fight?"

Aobai was choked by Xiao Zhuang, and he was speechless.Even if he was as brave as Oboi, when he faced the Ming army's attack recently, he still couldn't figure it out.In the past, the Ming army was chased and killed by the Qing army like sheep and ducks, but this time they killed the Qing army, especially the Eight Banners soldiers, like pigs and sheep.Although there were many battle reports sent from the front line, and there were some introductions to the tactics and equipment of the Ming army, but for Oboi who lived in the capital, it was a little blurry and not true.

It was the little Tartar Emperor Xuanye who asked, "Grandmother, look, what should we do?"

Xiao Zhuang stroked Xuan Ye's money rat-tailed head, and said earnestly: "Back then outside the pass, Dajin was able to rise because the weak prevailed over the strong. Because Taizu and Taizong were able to know people and use them well, and learn from our enemies. We learned from Mao Wenlong, we learned from Yuan Chonghuan, and even the Eight Banners system was inspired by Taizu from the military household system of the Ming Dynasty. Zu Dashou is We made guns and firecrackers, and Hong Chengchou came to adjust our strategy for us. After the people were reconciled, the Qing Dynasty gained momentum. Now that Nanming has suddenly become stronger, there must be a lot of truth in it, but we don’t know, so we went to talk to them with a dull head Fighting, losing is not wrong. The art of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. We don’t know ourselves and the enemy, so we can’t win. Therefore, we can’t fight against Nanming blindly now. We must figure out why Zhu Ming suddenly lost his It has become stronger. What kind of abilities does the so-called Australia of Zheng He’s legacy have? Zhu Ming was able to come back from the dead and turn from weak to strong. Can be stronger than Zhu Ming!"

Xuanye looked at Xiaozhuang with bright eyes, as if he understood a very profound truth.

Xiaozhuang ordered Oboi and the others to say: "Let people go to Jiangning to discuss peace with Zhu Cixuan. The Ai family believes that they have expanded to this extent, and they have already expanded. The internal problems will be even bigger, and they have to adjust themselves. Next , I, the Qing Dynasty, want to reorganize the military affairs, and let the Eight Banners, which are now useless, become the invincible army of the past."

Obai's eyes widened: "A peace talk with Zhu Ming?!"

Although this sounds like an unacceptable plan, after thinking about it, Oboi thought it was inevitable.Even if the Qing army in Huguang and Fujian still has spare strength, if they fail again, then the Qing Dynasty will really be over.Moreover, at this time they lacked money, food and military pay, and could not support further military operations at all, and the Man Qing fell into an extremely embarrassing situation all at once.
