In the tug-of-war with the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city, the warriors suffered heavy casualties, plus because of Ao Bai's death, the soldiers who were slaughtered by him, his subordinates, have suffered more than half of the casualties.

What made him most aggrieved was that this siege battle was not a war of attrition at all, and the casualties of the Mandate of Heaven Army were almost negligible.

With less than 2,000 soldiers in his hands, Zhuo Butai was worried, in case the Mandate of Heaven army under the city began to climb the city's head......

In desperation, he, like Baiyintu, thought of the white flag in Azig's hand, and he sent a herald to ask Dolgon and Azig for help......

Outside the Huaiyuan Gate of Xicheng, Li Zicheng took dozens of personal soldiers to supervise the battle from afar outside the city.

The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division had already launched two attacks on the city, both of which were repulsed by the defenders.

Luo Xiujuan followed Li Zicheng to the West Gate, she couldn't help it, so she put Li Zicheng's instructions aside, and begged Luo Ling to rush to the battlefield and find Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty ......"

"Huh?" Li Zicheng looked back and frowned, "Juan'er and Ling'er?" Didn't you stay in your tent and not come out? There are no eyes on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty!" Luo Qiujuan straightened her chest and said angrily: "The Qing Dynasty has already sent slaves and maids, why does the emperor still attack the city?" ”

"What does the war between Huaxia and the Qing Dynasty have to do with Juan'er?" Li Zicheng said: "This is war, not child's play, Juan'er go back quickly!"

Luo Xiujuan's face was full of indignation, "If the emperor withdraws the army, the slave and maid will ...... tonight No, the slave is willing to serve the emperor now......"

He Xiaomi almost laughed out loud, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and turned his head to see that the soldiers around him were all similar to him.

Li Zicheng's face sank, and he said angrily: "Juan'er thinks that the war between Huaxia and the Qing Dynasty is because of Juan'er? ”

"The emperor accepted the slave maid, and he should understand the meaning of the Qing Dynasty," Luo Xiujuan met Li Zicheng's gaze and said, "The emperor shouldn't attack Shengjing today......"

Li Zicheng was about to let his soldiers escort Luo Xiujuan and Luo Ling back, and after thinking about it, anyway, there was nothing to do now, so he changed his face and said with a faint smile: "What does Juan'er mean, I shouldn't attack Shengjing, should I leave Shengjing to the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Only in this way can there be a permanent ...... of peace between the Qing Dynasty and China."

"Peace?" Li Zicheng said: "Shengjing was originally called Shenyang, it is the land of the Han people, there are Han people cultivating outside the city, and there are Han officials in the city to manage, the Qing Dynasty seized Shenyang and changed its name to Shengjing, do I want to use Shengjing City in exchange for peace?" ”

"Didn't the Qing Dynasty give slaves to the emperor......"

"If a woman can be exchanged for a city, then the Qing Dynasty should hand over hundreds of thousands of Han women from Beijing," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Qing Dynasty will flee to the sea, and there will be no such cities, right?" ”

"You ......" Luo Xiujuan didn't understand these big things, she only knew that the Qing Dynasty sent her to Huaxia to make peace, and it was best for Huaxia to withdraw the army immediately, she thought for a moment and said, "How can the emperor withdraw the army?" ”

"I have already told Dolgon the conditions for the withdrawal of troops through Chi Qilong," Li Zicheng said: "I might as well tell you two things: first, return all the Han lands that I have occupied, including Shengjing, Fushun, Tieling, etc.; Second, punish the sinners who provoke wars......"

"You...... You are a ...... of heart" Luo Xiujuan almost fainted, these two conditions, no matter which one, may make the Qing Dynasty destroy the country, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not agree!

"Juan'er, you see, even you don't agree, how can Dolgon agree?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I know that between Huaxia and the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to be peaceful again, and war is inevitable!"

Luo Xiujuan's face turned pale, "Why did the emperor put forward such an impertinent condition?" ”

"Since the Qing Dynasty was prosperous, it has implemented an iron-blooded policy, not only bullying the Han people at will, but also killing our Han people and occupying the Han land without returning the ......" Li Zicheng said: "Now that the Han people are rising, the Qing Dynasty will be peaceful...... Peace is not impossible, but the interests that were usurped at that time must be returned, and the Han people who were killed must be saved......"

"You ......" Luo Xiujuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, the Han people were already dead, how could they be saved? If the Manchus are used to resist their lives, they will kill all the Manchus, and it will not be enough for the number of Han people......

Is it wrong for the Qing Dynasty to expand its territory?

"Also, the culprit who brutalized the Han people back then, and the culprit who continues to mutilate the Han people, must be severely punished!" Li Zicheng said: "Juan'er, you want peace, I also want peace, but if it's so peaceful, it's not peace, it's me who wants to be perfect!"

“……”

"If the murderer is not severely punished and the Qing Dynasty pays the price, once the Qing Dynasty prospers again, will it still invade the Han land and kill the Han people?"

"This ......"

"When you dared to invade the Han land, you should have thought that sooner or later you will have to pay the price," Li Zicheng pointed to the wounded soldiers under the city and said: "Juan'er, look at it, when did the Manchurians slaughter the Han people?" In the eyes of the Manchus, the Han people are just two-legged sheep......"

"Your Majesty," Luo Xiujuan's chest rose and fell, not knowing what she was thinking, "Is it true that Huaxia can't live in peace with the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Yes," Li Zicheng said: "However, before peace, we must settle the old accounts, if we can't settle the old accounts, and the thorns in the hearts of the people are not removed, even if I agree to peace, my subjects, and those people who died unjustly, they will not agree!"

Luo Xiujuan raised her distracted eyes, glanced at Li Zicheng, and nodded slightly, "The slave understands, between the Qing Dynasty and Huaxia, there has always been no death!"

"The Qing Dynasty can't reach a peace agreement with Huaxia, it should be an endless situation," Li Zicheng saw something from Luo Xiujuan's eyes, it seemed that she had suddenly grown up, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, "Juan'er married me, that is, my woman, you are already Han...... Don't worry about these militaristic affairs, the war will soon end, and peace will soon come!"

Luo Xiujuan glanced at Sheng Jingcheng, her face was stunned, "Your Majesty, the slave maid begs you for one thing, as long as the emperor agrees, the slave maid ...... Slaves and maids listen to the emperor's ......"

"What?"

"If Shengjing City is breached, please don't embarrass the slave's maid......"

"Empress Xiaoduan?" Li Zicheng thought for a moment and said, "Juan'er thinks that in this battle, Huaxia can achieve the final victory?" ”

"The slave maid is saying that if you ......" Luo Xiujuan lowered her head, but said in her heart: Uncle Huang's regent has always thought that as long as he comes to Huaxia to make peace, Huaxia will negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, and the war will end...... Now it seems that the emperor's uncle, the regent, was calculated, how could he win the war?

"Juan'er rest assured, I have never thought that women are the culprits, although some women are also secretly evil," Li Zicheng said: "Once the city slopes, as long as Queen Xiaoduan accepts the arrangement, I will definitely not embarrass her, after all, she is Juan'er's mother!"

"The slave and maid thanked the emperor first......

Li Zicheng suddenly remembered a question, and said: "Juan'er, Emperor Chongde has died, isn't your mother the queen mother, why is it called 'Queen Xiaoduan'?" ”

"Maybe Eniang's previous prestige was too high, so it was customary to call her 'queen'," Luo Xiujuan said faintly: "There is also a possibility that Concubine Zhuang was not the queen before, but she was the biological mother of Emperor Shunzhi and was named 'Queen Mother Xiaozhuang', but she wanted to elevate her identity and would rather be 'Queen Xiaozhuang', so E-Niang and Xiaozhuang are both 'queens', anyway, Emperor Shunzhi did not have a big wedding, and there is no official 'queen' in the palace......"

"I see!"

Luo Xiujuan blessed Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, the slave is back!" He said to Luo Ling again: "Let's go!"

Li Zicheng looked at the figure of the master and servant, and thought in his heart.

He Xiaomi and the others went far away, and Fang said: "Your Majesty, the third regiment is not good for attacking the city, and there are many casualties, or the ministers will take their own soldiers to try it......"

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "Xicheng was originally a feint, with the purpose of containing the defenders in the city. ”

"This ......"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Xiaomi, did you hear the cannon sound in the south and east city?" ”

"Cannons?" He Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Hey, there was the sound of cannons just now, why has the sound of cannons stopped now......

"The sound of artillery has stopped, which means that the soldiers in the south and east cities are attacking the city......"

Outside the Tianyou Gate in the south city, Du Cheng saw that the first batch of soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, and his heart was full of expectations, just like walking at the door of the cave house, and there was a faint trace of worry, hoping that these soldiers could contain the Manchu soldiers who had come over to reinforce the city, and the soldiers behind him continued to enter the city.

There was already a scuffle at the head of the city, and the soldiers outside the city could not help, the gunners and bombardiers stopped moving, and the bombardiers were on higher ground, and they could see the situation on the city head clearly, but unfortunately, they could not help, they could only shout and cheer, and their hearts were in a hurry.

Du Cheng was also in a hurry, but the sporadic gunshots coming from the city still reminded him that the soldiers who attacked the city now needed the response of their companions the most, even if they saw the opportunity and threw a few grenades from the ladder......

With a wave of his hand, the first row of gunners who had been standing outside the city immediately rushed to the various ladders, and in the process of running, each of them picked up two grenades.

The soldiers on the ladder kept pouring the city head, but there was a fierce battle going on the city, and even if the soldiers climbed to the top of the ladder, they could not quickly climb up from the battlement, so they had to wait for an opportunity.

Only when there is a gap in the battlement can they climb up and join the battle.

There were too many Qing soldiers involved in the battle, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army who attacked the head of the city could only protect the battlements behind them with flesh and blood, and continued to climb up with their companions.

In the white-knuckle battle on the ground, the Qing soldiers not only occupied a numerical advantage, but the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers was also far stronger than that of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The dozens of Heavenly Order Army soldiers who rushed to the head of the city by taking advantage of the time difference were not only cut down by more than half, but also suppressed near the battlement, and could be completely wiped out at any time, unless they fled back to the ladder from the battlement.

Ma Xiaowei, the official of the hundred households, slashed over the Tartar in front of him with a knife, and he was also slashed by another Tartar, the severe pain made people react quickly, he took a step to the side, avoiding the next knife, his eyes were blood-red, his whole face became hideous, and he scolded: "If you can open the distance, with a rifle, none of you Tartars will survive......"
