Chapter 422 Zilharang

The military situation was urgent, and Feng Quan did not dare to neglect it. After discussing with Doorgun, he immediately took Lu Gong Gong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Gong Aday, a man from Manchu, and rushed south to Wuchang to negotiate peace with the Longwu court.

In order to make the Longwu court moved, Dorgon allowed Feng Quan to propose the conditions for the rule of the Yangtze River.

During this peace talks, Door's intention was to delay, but for the ministers of the Qing Dynasty's peace sect, it was also a test of the Longwu court.

Dorgon's political opponent Jirgalang also agreed with this matter. First, Haoge was surrounded, which made him anxious, and second, he wanted to test the attitude of the Longwu court through this peace talk.

In Jirgalang's view, although Doorgun is still sticking to the strategy of destroying the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy for the Qing Dynasty to destroy the false Ming Dynasty.

In recent years, Manchuria has consumed a huge amount. If the war lasts for a few years, the Manchus will probably be reduced by half. It will be difficult to maintain the rule within the pass. It is better to stop when it is better to temporarily recognize the pseudo-Ming court and force them to pay tribute, imitate the examples of the Song and Jin Dynasties to temporarily coexist.

Once an agreement was reached with the Longwu court, as long as the Longwu court paid tribute and agreed to rule the river, it would be equivalent to acknowledging the Qing Dynasty's occupation of the north of the Yangtze River, and the people of the north would become abandoned people of the Longwu court.

This would inevitably greatly hurt and severely hurt the Han people in the north, making them hate the Longwu court and the country, and greatly enhance the recognition of the Han people in the north with the Qing Dynasty.

By then, the Qing Dynasty's rule within the pass will be as solid as a rock. It will be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed again after ten years of rest.

Therefore, this time, both Dorgon, who was in charge of the war, and Jirgalang, who was in charge of peace, agreed.

The next morning, the Qing Dynasty held another small-scale meeting. Everyone came and was reliable and would not disclose the news. After a brief discussion, Feng Quan took the mission and prepared to set off.

At this time, Feng Quan walked out of the Political Affairs Hall, but found Jirgalang, wearing a black dragon robe and a bowl cap, standing on the steps and looking at him.

Feng Quan was versatile and hurriedly stepped forward, "Prince!"

Jiergalang looked at him and said casually: "Sir Feng is here to discuss peace, I have something to explain!"

Feng Quan hurriedly saluted: "Slaughter and listen!"

Jirgalang nodded slightly, "The Regent intends to delay, and I have no objection to this, but don't block this road, do you understand?"

After Jiergalang finished speaking, he left without waiting for Feng Quan to react, leaving Feng Quan to stand in place.

At this time, Feng Quan's student, also the deputy envoy of this envoy, Lu Gong, looked at Jirgalang's back and stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Teacher, what does Prince Zheng mean?"

Lu Gong was the first top scholar to win the imperial examination after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and Feng Quan was the chief examiner that year.

Feng Quan stroked his beard under his lower body, thought for a moment, and then whispered: "The Regent is a false peace talk, and Prince Zheng really wants to talk, but now the Qing court is under the control of the Regent. It is not yet time for the real talk. Prince Zheng is worried that you and I have done too much to delay and want us to leave a way to resume the peace talks in the future!"

Lu Gong frowned, "Why is Prince Zheng so dejected?"

Feng Quan waved his hand, "The world is unpredictable in the battle formation. If this delay is successful and the war in Jiangnan is progressing, Prince Xun's soldiers can return to Wuchang in time, and the Qing Dynasty is still expected to unify the world. Otherwise, Prince Zheng's concerns will not be unreasonable. At that time, it is not hard to say who the Qing Dynasty will take charge of it!"

Feng Quan said in a deep voice, then walked out. Lu Gong frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly caught up with him, and asked anxiously: "Teacher, the Regent asked us to delay. If the pseudo-Ming court finds that he is being played with, he will eventually be angry and will no longer believe in our court. He will definitely lose his mind for negotiation in the future. How can we take into account Prince Zheng's explanation?"

Dorgon had no intention of agreeing to the peace talks at all, so this negotiation was to deceive the Longwu court from the beginning to delay time.

The reputation of the Qing court was not high, and it is hard to believe that Emperor Longwu was not a fool. If he found out that he was being fooled, he would definitely not negotiate with the Qing Dynasty again, so they could not fulfill Prince Zheng's instructions at all.

Dorgon was the master of the Qing court, and Jirhalang was also strong, and Feng Quan and Lu Gong on both sides could not afford to offend him.

Lu Gong originally thought it was a good job, but now he found that it was simply a fire pit.

"I have my own way to do this?" Feng Quan's face was still calm. As a talented person who had worked as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in the Tianqi Dynasty, this matter could not be difficult for him.

Lu Gong was curious and couldn't help asking: "What are the strategies of the teacher?"

Feng Quan showed the elder's smile and said two words, "Tell me!"

"Really talk?" Lu Gong became even more confused.

Feng Quan nodded, "With the attitude of true talk, the peace talks on righteousness failed!"

Lu Gong murmured Feng Quan's words and said again. After all, he was the top scholar and would not be too stupid. He instantly lit up and gave a thumbs up and exclaimed sincerely: "Great! Teacher is so high! With a sincere attitude, we negotiate, the pseudo-Ming court can feel our sincerity, and it is easier to believe us, complete the regent's explanation, and achieve the purpose of delay. But in the end, the negotiations cannot be reached, so we will leave a line for the future."

Feng Quan nodded slightly: "After that being said, during negotiations, the fight and stop, how to slow down the attack by the pseudo-Ming Dynasty depends on your and my wisdom. There are still many challenges to go south this time."

As he said that, Feng Quan stopped and instructed Lu Gong: "According to the news from the military newspaper, the pseudo-Ming court's pro-war faction gathered in Wuchang City. If we want to complete the court's order, we still need to make more preparations. You arrange a few people to bring some gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, and immediately go south to Changsha to meet He Tengjiao, and the eunuch of the Sili Prison Pang Tianshou, who was once a subordinate of Wei Zhongxian and later served as the Imperial Horse Supervisor of Chongzhen. He had some friendship with me. If you could persuade these two people and support the peace talks, the major matter would be halfway."

Lu Gong immediately saluted, "Students obey the order!"

At that moment, Feng Quan and Lu Gong returned to their residences to prepare and arrange, and went south overnight in the evening.

Before the two left the city, the other three troops sent by Dorgon were already galloping out of the city.

These three cavalrymen went straight to Luoyang and ordered the governor of Henan to command 20,000 troops to enter Xiangyang from Xinye and reinforce Huguang.

He rushed to Shandong and sent an order to Bayan, who was destroying the Shandong rebel army, and ordered him to lead the new army of the Han army, from southeastern to Anqing, then go westward against the river, meet with reinforcements sent by Luke Dehun, Jiangxi, and then support Wuchang.

On the last journey, we ran along the Grand Canal and rushed to Jiangning with a quick horse.

Jiangning, the residence of the General of the Conquest South, Mandahai launched the orders sent by Dorgon at 800 miles in a hurry. His face was gloomy. After a while, he stood up, picked up his helmet, and shouted in a deep voice, "Prepare the horse, I want to go to Wujin!"
