After listening to Wang Yan's words, the generals were relieved, and they each returned to the camp to wait, in case the Qing army in the city was going to die, then they would show their skills again.

As a big country, the Ming Dynasty must not only have majesty, but also have the bearing and mind of a great power.

China is known as the Celestial Empire, in addition to its strength and majesty, which are awe-inspiring to small countries, mainly because we are more civilized, more advanced, more civilized, and broad-minded, and we are the beacon of the whole East Asia and even human civilization.

The Mongols slaughtered countless civilizations and were powerful enough, but did this civilization make people like it? Although he was powerful, he was a symbol of barbarism, and in addition to making the Mongols powerful for a hundred years, it was a disaster for all the peoples of the world.

Civilization is divided into order and chaos, chaos is full of destruction, and order seeks the stability of the world and pushes history forward.

What China wants is not a dynasty like the Yuan and Qing dynasties, but a dynasty like the Han and Tang dynasties, which is strong and open, and can not only defeat strong enemies and adversaries who dare to offend, but also educate the Quartet, spread civilization, and influence the world.

Wang Yan decided to surrender to give the Manchus a chance, but in order not to let the Manchus in the city have illusions, he still let the army set up a huge cannon and bombarded it for a while, giving the Qing army a little color to see, so that they could have a point in their hearts.

After a day of shelling, Wang Yan immediately asked Feng Quan to write a letter, and he himself wrote a book to repair himself, and asked the scribe to copy more than ten copies, and shoot them into the city at night.

Ever since the siege of Beijing, the Manchurians in the city have been terrified, demoralized, and have no fighting spirit, knowing that their end has come.

Now that Beijing is an isolated city, there can be no reinforcements, there is no hope at all, Nikan knew his fate from the moment he decided to stay, and he was ready to live and die with Beijing.

Beijing City, there were only 25,000 people in the city, half of whom were Han soldiers, he could only open the treasury, distribute weapons to the Manchu women and children, let them help defend the city, and drove all the Han people in the north to the south city, and let people prepare fire in the Forbidden City, ready to burn themselves in the end.

Nikan was ready to commit suicide in the city, but the Han army in the city, even many Manchurians, did not want to die.

The current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, the Qing Dynasty has completely lost, continue to fight, and only die all.

The Han army was very angry with Nikan, and most of them were unwilling to follow Nikan to death, even the Manchurians in the city did not want to continue to fight, and Nikan distributed weapons to them, which did not arouse their fighting spirit, but made them feel hopeless.

Women and children are going to go to war, so what hope is there in the Qing Dynasty, Manchu is also human, and he is also afraid of death.

In this case, the letter of persuasion of the Ming army, shot into the city, undoubtedly gave the people inside a way out.

Every time they attacked the city, they first shot a letter of persuasion to surrender, reduce the loss of the army, and seize the city at the minimum cost, which was the practice of the Ming army.

Wang Yan's persuasion is generally to analyze the pros and cons, prescribe conditions, promise benefits, and let the people in the city decide for themselves.

This time is no exception, the people in the city have no choice, except to surrender is death, Wang Yan has no nonsense in the letter, and directly told Nikan to grow hair, change his surname, change his clothes, surrender and avoid death.

Historically, the Han people integrated with the surrounding minority people, all of which were relatively mild strategies, attracting them with advanced culture, allowing them to change slowly, and never forcing them to speak Han and wear Hanfu, which was a kind of inactive absorption, Xianbei, Khitan, and Baiyue were all slowly integrated into the Han nationality in this way.

This year, in April, the Jin State ordered that the people under its rule, regardless of the ethnic groups, are collectively called the Jin people, which is equivalent to using the power of the state to accelerate the integration of all ethnic groups in the Jin State, with the intention of enhancing the cohesion within the Jin State and the sense of identity of all ethnic groups in the Jin State.

Wang Yan didn't dare to conclude whether this was good or bad, but after he saw this decree of the Jin State, he reflected on the fact that before the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains dynasties in previous dynasties, he did not take the initiative to integrate the surrounding ethnic groups.

Since the Ming Dynasty was a Celestial Dynasty and its civilization was advanced, it had the responsibility to educate the Quartet, help the surrounding vassals, and learn Chinese culture.

Therefore, in terms of ethnic policy, Wang Yan felt that it was necessary to adopt a positive and enterprising strategy to accelerate the integration of all ethnic groups in the country, and that he could learn from the Jin State and recount the population.

Of course, in addition to the coercive policy, it is also necessary to promise certain benefits, and while the imperial court takes the initiative to ask for integration, it is also necessary to make the young people willing to integrate.

After hearing the decree issued by the Jin State, Wang Yan discussed with Wang Fuzhi, and Wang Fuzhi's suggestion was to reform the household registration system.

The identity of the people in the country is defined as the two components of Han and Guiyi, needless to say, Han, Guiyi is the young people who are attached, and it is not allowed to mention the problems of Manchu, Mongolia, Zhuang, and Tibet.

In order to promote the sinicization of Guiyi and Shaomin, there are naturally differences between Guiyi and Hanmin, so as to promote Sinicization.

If you get the status of Hermes-Epitek in everything, the people can travel freely in Daming, they don't need a road guide, they can do business, join the army, buy land, and their heirs can enter the state and county for free to study in Mongolia and other cheap.

Guiyi is subject to certain restrictions, the army, business are subject to certain restrictions, travel into the city, it is necessary to approve, can not enjoy many benefits of the imperial court, but as long as Guiyi can speak Chinese, and Guishun for three years, you can go to the local government to change to Chinese, can live Chinese can write Chinese characters, then it only takes one year, there is a meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty, then directly give the Han surname identity.

Of course, this is only the result of private negotiations between Wang Yan and Wang Fuzhi, and if there is any mistake, if you want to implement it, you need to pass it by the cabinet and the council.

In short, Wang Yan felt that the imperial court should take the initiative to ask the surrounding subjugated people to carry out sinicization, which would be conducive to the Ming Dynasty and quickly stabilize the border areas.

As long as such a policy is implemented, once a certain place, the Han nationality exceeds Guiyi, the Ming Dynasty will stand firm, and all the people who return to righteousness will become Han nationality, then the land where they live is the Han land.

The letter of surrender was shot into Chengzhong, and his life was not guaranteed, and he grew his hair, changed his surname to Han, and wore Hanfu, which was not a matter at all for the Manchurians. The Manchurians of the Jin Kingdom have long since cut their braids and wore Hanfu.

Respecting the palace of the king of the county, a group of generals stood below, and after reading the letter of persuasion, Nikan was silent for a while, looking up to the sky and sighing.

When the generals saw his expression, they were overjoyed and relieved, thinking that Nikan had accepted the conditions of the Ming army, so that more than 100,000 Manchurians would still have a way to live.

The generals' faces just relaxed a little, but who knew that Nikan suddenly said hatefully: "Feng Quan old thief, this king has long suspected that he has a ghost, and he really voted for Nanming." The king thief asked us to change our surname and grow our hair, this is an insult to my Qing Dynasty, the Han people can raise the city to fight against each other in order to be clothed, and the warriors of my Qing Dynasty must not be insulted, this king swears to coexist with Beijing! ”

As soon as he said this, the generals below changed color in unison. Shave a pigtail, what's good about horseshoe sleeves and horse coats, isn't it clear who is beautiful and who is ugly, what's the big deal if you change it, you want to die, we don't want to.

If the Ming army didn't give them a way to live, they might still live and die with Nikan with the city, but Wang Yan gave them a way to live, and they naturally asked for life.

After all, in the current situation, if you don't surrender, you will die, what's the point of fighting? I have to think about my wife and children!

When Nikan chose to stay, he was already begging for death, as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he lost power after surrendering, and lived in shame like a dog, he might as well die.

Wang Yan's surrender he was not tempted, and he didn't want to understand the mood of his subordinates, but asked people to arrest Feng Quan's family and kill him.

It's just that when the Qing army arrived at Feng Quan's mansion, Feng Quan's family had already been transferred.

Nikan ordered that he would live and die with Beijing, but the consciousness of the Qing generals was not as high as his.

Among the generals of the Green Battalion in Nancheng, Feng Quan had already contacted them, and when they saw the surrender letter, they immediately gathered together to prepare for a mutiny.

Others had already contacted the members of the Heaven and Earth Society in the city, and they were in a hurry to have no way out, so they asked directly when they saw someone, and they were not afraid of being exposed, so they came to the door by themselves and said directly, "For the sake of my comrades for many years, if anyone has a way to surrender, he must bring his younger brother." ”

The Han army in the southern city almost blatantly planned to surrender, and the news had already reached the northern city, but no one reported to Nikan, because several Jiala Ezhen guarding the southern city were also in tandem, preparing to sacrifice the city, and sent people out of the city overnight to ask to see Wang Yan.

The wall fell down and thousands of people pushed the drum and ten thousand people beat it, the people's hearts are like this, Nikan has been abandoned, maybe he also knows it in his heart, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it anymore when he begs for death.

In the early morning of June 20, Ma Guanghui, who was guarding the Yongding Gate of Nancheng, opened the city gate, and Zhongwu Town, which had been prepared for a long time, drove directly into Nancheng, and more than 10,000 Qing troops were armed and all surrendered to save their lives.

Liu Shun led the army without delaying in the southern city, and directly entered the northern city from Zhengyang, and the surrendered soldiers shouted in unison, "Don't resist, save your life!" ”

The people in the city were in a mess, the whole city was in an uproar, and the Ming army was beheaded when they met those with weapons, and the women and children were so shocked that they knelt on the ground to welcome the Ming army into the city.

Nikan heard the sound of killing in the city, only to know that the Ming army entered the city, and he did not lead troops to resist, but led nearly a thousand henchmen and went directly to the palace, but the guards of the Manchurian Niu Lu did not let him enter the palace, and cried bitterly: "Lord, if you burn the Forbidden City, we will not be able to live..."

Looking at the plea of the soldiers on the palace wall, Nikan couldn't help but sigh, and recruited his cronies around him to find a way out, whether to fight with the Ming army, be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, or save his life with equipment, he didn't interfere.

At this time, the city was full of shouts of the Ming army entering the city, shouting and killing was coming to the palace, and several full generals listened to Nikan's words, all of them were sad, and asked, "What about the prince?" ”

Nikan didn't speak, shook his head, and walked towards the palace with a dead heart.

When the generals saw this, they couldn't care so much, and fled from Miyagi one after another.

Nikan returned to the palace, took off his armor, put on the court clothes of the Manchu princes, called his wife and children together, and then set fire to the palace of Jingjing, and did his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty······
