Fan Wencheng felt the focus of eyes from all directions, and suddenly there was an invisible pressure, he sighed lightly, and continued: "Queen Mother, Regent, if in the long run, Li Xiao hopes to use such coercive means to change the clothing positioning and inner identity of all ethnic groups in the Qing Dynasty, this plan is indeed very sinister. However, such a move is a grinding effort, and it cannot be effective overnight, so for at least a few years, the Tang Army's practice will only make the Qing people hate and disgust it, but it is difficult to quickly see the actual effect. ”

"In that case, why did Li Xiao do this?" Dai Shan couldn't help but ask on the side.

The reason is also very simple, because, as a Han Chinese, Li Xiao hopes to take this opportunity to export his evil anger to the Han people who have been humiliated and slaughtered in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and at the same time, he also wants to show his majesty and momentum as a conqueror in this way. It's just that after this calculation, although Li Xiao can make a profit in the long run, in the short term, he will only increase the hatred of the people of the Qing Dynasty for him. In this way, it gave me the opportunity and time for the full development of the Qing Dynasty. You know, what I lack most in the Qing Dynasty now is time. When the Qing Dynasty recovers and can compete with the Tang Army again, it will not be too late to calculate the general account with the Tang Army. ”

As for the Tang Army's arrangement of officials, garrisoning troops, and abolishing the Manchu language, these three points are not urgent matters for the Tang Army, so there is room for return. After all, the Tang army now has to go all out to deal with Li Zicheng, even if they want to divide their troops to garrison our Qing Dynasty, it will not be easy to be afraid. As for arranging officials and the like, it is actually difficult for the Tang Army to effectively control them, so there is still a chance for the Tang Army to compromise in this regard. As for the abolition of the Manchu language, how can it be so easy without officials and supervision! So at this point, Tang Jun can only turn a blind eye in the end. ”

After listening to Fan Wencheng's remarks, Dolgon and the ministers suddenly relaxed their expressions, and above the court, there was a buzzing sound like flies flying.

At this time, from behind the curtain, there was also a soothing voice from Bumu Butai: "Master Fan's analysis is reasonable. That is, I asked Bachelor Fan and Bachelor Ning to take a break, then quit their hard work, and immediately rushed to the Tang Army's place to convey to him the acceptable range of our Qing Dynasty. Among them, there are two bachelors. ”

Hearing Bumu Butai's words, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan agreed together: "Obey the orders of the Queen Mother." ”

In order to return within the specified time for Li Xiao, the two of them only rested in Shengjing for one day, and then immediately went south and hurried to Liaoyang.

After arriving in Liaoyang, the two immediately asked to see Li Xiao, the king of Tang. Subsequently, in the living room of the Liaoyang Government Office, Li Xiao was seen.

Fan Wencheng bowed respectfully a few steps away from Li Xiao, and at the same time said in a continuous voice: "Back to the Tang King, in the next return, I have said that the Queen Mother and the Regent have agreed to the conditions of your army, and they are willing to start consultations and negotiations with your army on this basis......"

"Huh? What does it mean to agree by majority? Could it be that Dorgon is planning to discount our army's demands? Chen Zilong immediately interrupted him keenly.

Seeing Chen Zilong's unkind words, Fan Wencheng's face changed, and he fell to the ground with a plop, and said in a wailing voice: "King Tang! Chen Zanhua! Your army and our country are negotiating, not giving an ultimatum! Why do you have to force our Qing Dynasty into a desperate situation and not turn over, and what is the point of such negotiations? ”

"Fan Wencheng, you're mistaken. Your current situation is not qualified to bargain with our army at all. Chen Zilong sneered: "Forgive Chen for being direct, if you don't want to lose the country, if you still want this Qing Dynasty to survive, there is no other way out except to promise all the conditions of our army." ”

Fan Wencheng's face turned pale, and his words were a little remarkable: "It's just, how can this be made!" You must know, Chen Zanhua, if I agree to such conditions as your army, it will be no different from the death of the country. ”

Fan Wencheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat again, and he wiped it anxiously: "Your country wants me to pay compensation in the Qing Dynasty, call me a minister, pay tribute, abolish the Manchu language from Han customs, and also garrison the army and arrange officials. It is not easy to think that the Qing Dynasty can reluctantly make it difficult to agree to most of the conditions of your army, and I swallow my anger, if the Tang King still wants to blindly force it, I am only afraid of ......"

"Afraid? Are you afraid that you will continue to wage war with our army? Li Xiao interrupted him with a sneer: "If Dolgon can't accept such conditions and is determined to use the last trace of vitality of the Qing Dynasty to fight with our Tang army, this king will never mind, and even can't wait." However, this king wants to tell you that if he insists on such confrontation, then there will never be peace talks again. Our army is about to enter Shengjing, take the poor directly, and capture Shengjing at any cost. At that time, whether it is taken this year or next year, after our army breaks the city, it will definitely take the most violent and ruthless means to wipe out the people in the city and the Qing court's civil and military magnates together. ”

Fan Wencheng heard Li Xiao's tone so tough and coercive posture so fierce, he was already heartbroken, he knelt in place in a daze, lost his soul, like a puppet, and he didn't know how to reply next.

Seeing Fan Wencheng kneeling on the ground, Ning Wan and I also fell to the ground with a plop, and said in a wailing voice: "King Tang, you are so persecuted, how can I go back to recover my life?" Can't you be a little accommodating, so that you can give me a face to go down the stairs. ”

Li Xiao saw that his voice was so sad, and his heart was very contemptuous, but he groaned slightly, and then replied: "Master Ning said it so pitifully, it makes Gu Xin unbearable. In this way, this king will give you another step down, abolish the Manchu article, but do not implement it for the time being, and the rest of the items must be implemented in accordance with the original intention of the lonely, one by one, and act in this way, before we can negotiate peace with our army, otherwise, we will not say anything more, and we will meet on the battlefield. ”

Ning finished me with a long sigh, although my heart was very lost, but I didn't dare to say more, so I had to respond.

Li Xiao saw that the two of them were as heartless as lost dogs, and he didn't want to talk to these two people anymore, so he immediately sent them back. He also told them that he could only wait until all the above plans were agreed to before he was willing to sign a peace agreement with Dolgon in Liaoyang City. Thus ending the battle with the Qing court, which had lasted for months.

Of course, Li Xiao also deliberately emphasized one point, that is, if Dolgon agrees to this agreement, then when he comes to sign the agreement, he must first accumulate his hair and change into Hanfu to show his sincerity, so that Li Xiao is willing to meet them and is willing to finally sign with this person to take effect.

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I, when they came out of Liaoyang City, they were all lost and at a loss.

The two of them and a group of guards rode north, until they reached a place with no one in the shade of trees, Fan Wencheng Fang smiled bitterly: "Gongfu, I really didn't expect that I would wait for this time to go south, and it would be such an ending, and I don't know, I will wait for this time to go back, how will the Queen Mother and the regent think of you and me." ”

Ning Wan also shook his head and sighed: "Alas, so far, we have done our best, and there is no way to think about it." can only tell Li Xiao's words to the Queen Mother and the Regent in their original form. After all, we are just a messenger, and the final decision depends on the intentions of the Queen Mother and the Regent. ”

The two were depressed, but they did not dare to take a break, so they had to hurry back to Shengjing, and the next morning the court meeting, the two rushed to Shengjing, and then entered the Chongzheng Palace to report.

Above the court, Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground, and his voice choked to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, telling Li Xiao's original words, and then lamented: "The Queen Mother, the Regent, the Weichen are useless, and they must not fight for favorable conditions for my Qing Dynasty. ”

As soon as Fan Wencheng finished saying this, Ning Wan also added urgently: "Li Xiao said, I will get a reply the day after tomorrow at the latest, if I agree to the Qing Dynasty, then the regent needs to wear Hanfu and sign it in Liaoyang in person, and such an agreement can take effect." ”

"Fuck! Can't live anymore! Lao Tzu can't live! Azig shouted angrily again: "Li Xiao's guy is so strong, he refuses to even leave me a little face, and if he agrees to such conditions, won't he only let him kill him in the future, and there is no room to fight back?" Li Xiao is so vicious and ruthless, then let's talk to them about a fart! The queen mother and the regent, according to the king's opinion, will fight to the death! Rather than live in such humiliation, it is better to die in battle! ”

As soon as Azig finished shouting, Prince Li Dai Shan also sighed and interjected: "What Prince Ying said is that although the situation in the Qing Dynasty is difficult now, it is not something that Li Xiao, a lowly hunter, can trample on and bully. Thinking about the two bachelors, they were ordered to go back and forth, but it was fruitless, and they only got a false promise that they would not abolish Manchu for the time being, and what good would it be. According to the king's opinion, he will not mention any peace talks with Tang Jun. I also asked the Queen Mother and the Regent to give up their illusions and resolutely fight the Tang Army to the end. Although this king is old, he is also willing to be loyal to the country, serve the court, and not dishonor his ancestors, and do not hesitate to lose his body. ”

"Prince Li is right, Tang Jun is so arrogant and rude, so deceitful and too much, what else to talk about! We will fight them to the end and never give up! ”

"Yes! Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, Li Xiao, a dog thief, oppresses me like this in the Qing Dynasty, is it really no one who bullied me in the Qing Dynasty! ”

"That's right, let's defend Shengjing, and then send people to the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, and the two of them will work together to bring down the Tang army!"

……

The courtiers below, all of whom were indignant, shouted one after another, as if they were infected with an infectious disease, and expressed their generosity and patriotism, and the whole court seemed to have become a stage for their improvised performances.

The little emperor Shunzhi once again saw the courtiers shouting so angrily, and his heart couldn't help but cringe again. Fortunately, with the previous experiences, now he has a little strange mentality, and can only stare at the palace gate in a daze bored in the shouts of the courtiers.

And seeing that the courtiers were shouting and shouting here, there was silence inside the curtain, and Bumu Butai inside was silent, as if he was deaf.

Now in the court, the most embarrassing thing is the regent Dorgon.

Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, but inside, it was like a knife.

He understood that the reason why Bumu Butai was silent behind the curtain at this time was that she was actually waiting for her own statement.

She waited for herself, the regent who was the symbol of the Qing Empire, to finally express her position before she could decide whether to fight or make peace in the end, and which end the Qing Empire would eventually lead to.

Dolgon let out a long sigh and subconsciously looked at the curtain, but suddenly heard a low sound of sobbing coming from the curtain.

At this moment, hearing the sound of crying in the curtain, the entire court was also quiet.

All of them looked at each other with complicated faces, and they didn't know how to behave for a while, so they had to stand in silence.

Dolgon slowly stood up, looked around expressionlessly, and then focused his gaze on the shaking curtain, staring for a long time, Fang said lightly: "Queen Mother, in order to ensure the survival of the Qing Dynasty, no matter what the price is, it is worth it." At present, this king is willing to learn from Goujian, the king of Yue, agree to the conditions of the Tang army, and bend his knees to sue for peace. ”

As soon as Dolgon's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone stared at the regent of the Qing Empire with great surprise, as if they were looking at an unprecedented rare animal.

Dolgon met everyone's eyes, his face was very solemn, and his voice was even more inexplicably choked: "Everyone, this king has thought about it and is willing to agree to the conditions of the Tang Army, in this way, to end the war and reach a peace with the Tang Army." This king will change his hair and clothes, and then go to Liaoyang to sign an agreement with Li Xiao, so as to ......"

"Dolgon! Are you crazy! ”

Azig roared angrily on the side, interrupting Dolgon's words fiercely: "Dolgon, my brother has always thought that you are a strong Qing Dynasty hero, a warrior of the Eight Banners who chews steel and bites iron, but I didn't expect you to do such a shameless thing to lose face and betray your ancestors!" You said, if you act like this, even if the Qing Empire can survive, what face will there be in the world, and ......?"

"Enough! You shut up! Dolgon's face turned red sharply, full of indescribable hideousness and pain: "If you want the Qing Dynasty to survive, what else can you think of except to fully agree to the Tang Army!" But as long as there is even the slightest chance of winning this battle, this king will not accept its conditions in such humiliation. At present, only by negotiating peace with the Tang army can the Qing Empire survive and continue to exist in this world. What face, what ancestors, if the Qing Dynasty is dead, even if there is face again, even if the ancestors and ancestors are resurrected from the ground, what is the use! Tell you Azig, in order for the Qing Dynasty to survive, don't say that it is easy to grow hair, even if you ask me Dolgon to eat Li Xiao's feces, I will eat it all without blinking, and I am willing to eat it! ”

Azig was stunned by his scolding on his head and face, and he was about to organize the language and try to refute it, but he was surprised to see that Dolgon had already taken off his official hat in one fell swoop, and threw it on the royal table with a thud. Then tear open two tiny braids with one hand and spread the hair out.

Then, while taking off his official uniform, he shouted angrily to the eunuch standing next to him: "Stupid slave, what are you still doing here!" Go! Go and bring the Hanfu to this king, and change it for this king immediately! ”
