Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, did not leave Datong lightly, but took away all the palace guards and the new Zhenxi Wei manager, the general army of Gaodi, a total of about 4,000 military horses. However, this march is not about fighting anyone. Therefore, there are still a large number of military dependents and ordinary people who follow.

The miscellaneous soldiers and civilians were added together, and the number of people who left with the third prince Zhu in the end was as many as 20,000 or 30,000! He also carried a large number of chariots, horses and belongings, and marched mightily in the wind and snow.

At this time, the Qing army's ranger sentry was already operating outside the city of Datong Mansion, so the brigade of men and horses traveled, of course, they couldn't hide their eyes. However, they did not launch a pursuit, after all, in the past month or two, the performance of the Datong Ming Army has subverted their perception a little.

In Zhenyuwei, Yongjia Fort, Wayaokou Fort, Gaoshanwei, Baideng Fort, Yanghewei, Settlement, Xujiazhuang Fort and other forts located on the way of the Qing army's westward march, there were fierce battles! The army led by Hauge and Ao Bai suffered a lot of losses.

Although the losses of the real captives were not too heavy, the soldiers of the Han army who served as cannon fodder were killed and wounded, and the number of people added to the front and back exceeded 5,000!

The walls of Datong have not yet been seen, and the losses are already so big, how can the Qing army not be cautious?

They also know the reputation of Datong Xiongcheng, if they really want to fight in Datong, there are not tens of thousands of dead and wounded, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it, right?

Therefore, Haoge, who was about to lead the troops of the Zhenglan Banner back to Beijing, also let out a long sigh after learning the news that a large number of Ming troops had evacuated Datong, and said to his henchmen with a wry smile: "This time it will be cheaper Azig......

"Lord, this regent is also deceiving people too much, we are fighting hard here in Datong Mansion, and finally victory is in sight, but he asked Azig to pick up the bargain."

After the death of Huang Taiji, he and Sony, Turk, Thurai, Tan Tai, Xihan, Gong Adai and other important ministers of the two Yellow Banners resolutely supported Haoge's accession to the throne. But in the end, he was defeated because of the opposition of the two white flags and the selfishness of the kings Baylor (both of whom liked the young king). However, Ao Bai still did not extinguish his desire to support Haoge's ascendancy.

Now Fulin is only 6 years old, naturally there are no offspring, and Dorgon's health has not been very good...... What is hateful is that the three brothers Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig have been suppressing Hauge and preventing Haug from making a great contribution to the public.

Hauge snorted: "I don't know if this cheap can be picked up!" ”

"Lord Wang, do you mean that there is still a fight in Datong?" Ao Bai asked, and then shook his head, "The minion doesn't have to look at it, it's nothing more than Changwei, just like when he fought Da Linghe City." ”

"Hehe," Hauge smiled, "yes...... But how long will this be encircled? Dalinghe City has been besieged for three months, and there should be more reserves in Datong City, right? If you want to surround for a year or two, Azig will be delayed! ”

"Delayed for what?" Ao Bai still doesn't quite understand.

Hauge lowered his voice: "Of course it's a delay to go south!" ”

"To the south?" Ao Bai was stunned for a moment, "Lord Wang, doesn't the regent want to discuss marriage with the Southern Dynasty?" ”

"Humph!" Hauge snorted, "This thing is yellow! ”

"The prince of the Southern Dynasty refused?"

"No," Hauge smiled gloatingly, "he just doesn't want to cede land to pay tribute...... The crown prince of the Southern Dynasty is a brazen man, and he wants to be the daughter of Dolgon! ”

"Really?" Aobai's eyes widened.

Haoge smiled and nodded: "It was Luo Luohun's letter that said that the delegation sent to Jiangnan to discuss relatives has returned, and he also brought an envoy from the Southern Dynasty, which is Zu Kefa!" ”

Ao Bai was stunned, "Zu Kefa? Didn't he be beaten to death by the rogue, he even had a nickname, what kind of martial arts is he called...... A while ago, my ancestral family held a funeral for him, and I joined in. ”

"Dead fart!" Haoge shook his head again and again, "Surrendered, first surrendered to Liukou, then sent Liukou to the Southern Dynasty, and then surrendered to the Southern Dynasty, plus surrendered from the Ming Dynasty to our Qing Dynasty before, this has been surrendered three times, a proper four ministers!" ”

"Four ministers?" Ao Bai looked disdainful, "What are these people in Guan Ningjun?" Surrender to surrender, do you want to be shameless? ”

......

"Regent, my country's Chitose Lord is sincere to your family's Gege, even if Gege is only six years old, he is willing to wait a few years. These gifts were all given to Gege, including 100 pieces of silk of various colors produced in Suzhou, 100 pieces of porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, 50 pieces of Japanese lacquerware, 50 dolls of various kinds, 50 boxes of candied fruits of various colors, 50 pieces of gold jewelry, and 500 taels of silver ingots for Gege......

The Forbidden City, Wuying Palace, the "four ministers" Zu Kefa, who had shaved his head and put on the uniform of the Ming military attaché, was pointing to a large number of boxes with open lids, and introduced them to the regent of the Qing Dynasty Dolgon with a smile.

Dolgon, on the other hand, couldn't laugh or cry. What is this called? This Zhu Cihong really wanted to think that while refusing to pay tribute, he wanted to marry his daughter...... also sent a "four ministers" as a personal envoy, and also sent a lot of gifts to coax the little girl. What does this guy want to do?

"Zukoffa! You, you, why did you surrender to the Southern Dynasty? Do you want to be ashamed? ”

When Dolgon was stunned, someone had already asked a question, and the official who asked the question, Gong Adai, was the secretary of the ministry. He is Nurhachi's nephew, or Gushan Ezhen of Zhenghuangqi, Zu Kefa was originally Meile Zhangjing of the Zhenghuangqi Han Army, younger than Gong Adaiguan. Therefore, Gong Adai can represent the master of the Zhenghuang Banner, that is, the six-year-old Fu Lin.

Zu Kefa glanced at Gong Adai and smiled: "Why did Gushan Ezhen say so ugly? Xia Guan was originally a relative of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and it is natural for him to take refuge in his relatives in times of crisis, isn't this also the case on the side of the Great Qing Kingdom? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Dorgon inadvertently. Gong Adai's face turned blue all of a sudden, it turned out that he was also a man who surrendered to his lord - he was originally a person on Hauge's side, but later when he saw that Dolgon was powerful, he betrayed Hauge and took refuge in Dolgon......

"You ......" Gong Adai was angry, can the nature of his surrender to Dolgon be the same as Zu Kefa's surrender to Zhu Cihong? This minion should be beaten and killed!

"Alright, alright......" Dolgon hurriedly waved his hand to stop Gong Adai, who was about to have a seizure, "He's all four ministers, what are you angry with him?" What else can you do with him? ”

Gong Adai thought about it, and killed him, was it to behead the envoy, or to behead the pro-envoy...... How unlucky? People came to Dongge Gege for the Ming Prince, you killed him, who would dare to come to Gege in the future? What should I do if Gege can't get married?

If you want to detain him and force him to surrender, he is all four ministers, what is the difference between forcing him to surrender and robbing a bitch to be his wife?

Dolgon's brows furrowed, and he looked at the four ministers Zu Kefa, whose skin was thicker than the city wall, "What does the prince of the Zhu family mean?" He is unwilling to pay tribute and be a vassal, and I am going to crusade against him in the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Then fight...... Zu Kefa spread his hands, "It's not that I haven't beaten before, you want to fight, the prince will accompany you!" ”

Dolgon was stunned for a moment, "Then he still proposes to my family?" ”

Zu Kefa smiled: "Lord, relatives return to relatives, and wars return to wars." Your family's Gege, the prince still wants it. ”

"Hey, this prince......" Dolgon didn't know what to say.

Zu Kefa still had something to say, he said with a smile: "Marriage is a major event, pay attention to the right family, how can the prince's family and the prince of Daming not be compatible?" As for the vassals, tribute, and land cuts, they have to be divided on the battlefield, and have nothing to do with marriage. ”

"I know, this king knows," Dolgon and one of the "four ministers" had nothing to say, and waved his hand, "You go back to the pavilion and rest first!" ”

Zu Kefa didn't move, and said to Dolgon with a smile: "Lord, my prince has two more proposals. ”

Dorgon said, "What proposal?" Let's talk about it. ”

"First, the prince of my family hopes to set up a 'peace and relatives pavilion' on Haisha Island outside the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin, and send peace envoys to facilitate the peace between the north and the south." Zu Kefa said with a smile, "Second, my prince hopes to set up a trade hall next to the 'Harmony Pavilion' on Haisha Island, so as to facilitate the exchange of merchants from the north and the south. ”
