"Ajig, now is not a time to act with impulse!"

Ajige finished shouting loudly, but after the curtain came, a colder and louder voice came: "Ajige, are you a brainless and reckless man? If the Tang army was so easily defeated by our Qing Dynasty, Prince Yu, Prince Zheng, Prince Gongshun, Prince Huaishun and others, how could they die so tragically under the sword of the Tang army! The Ai family understands your mood, but at such a critical time, it is not easy to say some words of urgency. You should step down and let Mr. Fan finish his words."

Hearing Bumubutai's statement behind the curtain, Ajig looked ashamed and annoyed, but he had no choice but to glar at Fan Wencheng with a hatred look, then turned around and entered the class.

"Sir Fan, please continue to talk. Why can I, the Qing Dynasty, have to make peace with the Tang army now?" Dorgon, who had been grimly looking at him, asked in a deep voice.

Fan Wencheng sighed and continued, "It is actually normal for the Empress Dowager, Regent Prince Ying to be so angry, and it is understandable that it is understandable. However, now the total national troops in the Qing Dynasty are only less than 300,000, which does not have much advantage compared to the Tang army's troops in Liaodong. What's more, with the loss of Liaoyang, there is no danger to defend in the Liaozhong area. Next, the Tang army will attack Shengjing with all its strength and take the Qing capital directly. If the Tang army is at the city and the Qing capital is surrounded, it will be really surrounded by enemies, saying that it will be unsatisfied every day, and it will be called "the earth will not work."

After hearing Fan Wencheng talk about this, Ajige couldn't help but interrupt loudly: "Hmph! What does heaven and earth mean? Fan Wencheng, you are so angry! Even if the Tang army attacked the city of Shengjing, my city of Shengjing would have nearly 200,000 troops, which was similar to the general of the Tang army. What's more, the garrison status and the solidity of the city of Shengjing are far superior to Liaoyang. Even if they have the advantage of firearms, how can they win such a strong city in one fell swoop?"

Ajige looked angry. As soon as he spoke, he kept stroking his beard and slapped his beards and pretended to be a veteran Prince Li Daishan, who was planning the country, and also interrupted from the side: "Prince Ying's words make sense. I think the Tang army fought bloody night and fought to the death, and finally captured Liaoyang, and its own losses were also quite large. It is indeed a big deal to take down Shengjing in one go. In my opinion, the soldiers and horses in Shengjing are now strong, and the food and grass are also very sufficient. If we defend the city of Shengjing, we will be able to persist for a long time. However, the Tang army has been here for a long time and cannot be long. When the weather is cold and the sea is frozen, the troops of its subordinates will be hungry and cold and their morale will be greatly degraded. At that time, our Qing Dynasty will be in harmony with the inside and outside, and will be able to defeat the Tang army at the city of Shengjing, and solve the difficulties of our Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Dai Shan was speaking up and continued: "If the Empress Dowager and the Regent were worried that if Shengjing was in trouble and could not protect the ancestral temple, they could also choose a general of the royal family to lead the army mainly of the Jurchens, enter the mountains and fields in northern Liaoning, and continue to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Tang army, thus forming an internal and external response with Shengjing. One can be prevented, and the other can make the Tang army extremely afraid and their actions will be greatly restricted. In the end, in winter, they cannot continue to support and can only retreat their troops obediently."

The words of Ajige and Daishan made Dorgon on the tiger-headed chair begin to hesitate.

He lowered his head, frowned, and repeatedly thought about the meaning of the two of them.

And at this moment, Fan Wencheng's voice sounded faintly again.

"Prince Li, Prince Ying, you can't help but think things too simple." Fan Wencheng sighed: "The Tang army has now captured the vast areas of Liaozhong and Liaonan. The morale is like a rainbow, and the soldiers are elite. The Qing Dynasty has lost consecutive battles and its morale is sluggish. How can we continue to fight head-on with it? The feasible plan now is to take the defensive. However, if as the two said, only defending Shengjing Capital City and sending troops into the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas, it would be too easy to consider. Take a step back ten thousand steps, even if the Tang army really cannot capture Shengjingjian City and cannot clear the guerrilla troops in the mountains and fields, can our Qing Dynasty really stick to the Tang army's retreat? In the following view, it may not be necessary."

When Fan Wencheng said this, he paused deliberately, glanced at him squintedly, and observed that Dorgon was listening to his speech with all his attention, and then he coughed and continued: "Empress Dowager, Regent, it is summer now. If you want to stay until the port is frozen in winter, there will be at least three months left, so that the Tang army can transport supplies and food. The Tang army is now stable in central and southern Liaoning, and can easily wait for sea ships to ship supplies and weapons. If the Tang army fully grasps the more than three months, at least it will last until the spring is freezing next year, there will be no problem. In this way, how can we expect the Tang army to retreat because of the food being exhausted?"

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now the essence of my Qing Dynasty is destroyed by the Tang army. The people are displaced and the scholars are helpless. How can the Qing Dynasty last long if this continues? Let me say it is a little bit ugly. Even if our Qing Dynasty can finally preserve Shengjing and even the mountains and fields in the north, the arable land in the middle and southern Liaoning to the Liaodong area has been occupied by the Tang army, the living conditions of our Qing Dynasty are probably worse than those of the Old Khan who rebelled back then! Even if the Tang army has not attacked the city and has been surrounded by Shengjing for a few years, how can our army survive until that day? Have you ever thought about such a severe situation?"

When Fan Wencheng said this, he sighed again, and at this moment, the entire Chongwen Hall fell into silence again.

Dorgon's face was extremely ugly, his lips were twitching constantly. Everyone could see that he wanted to refute Fan Wencheng's words, but for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

And at this moment, another person walked out to the class, bowed to Dorgon, but said, "I am in Ning Bao, and I agree with what Fan Xueshu said."

Dorgon raised his head and saw Ning Wan's two greasy rat whiskers tremble like rabbits. He couldn't help but feel more angry, but he had to suppress his anger and replied calmly: "Oh? So does Master Ning also see this?"

Ning Wan, I nodded and said, "Empress Dowager, the regent, the Tang army has just taken Liaoyang, and the troops are exhausted. Although they will attack our Shengjing soon, if the Tang army has not yet besieged the city, they will immediately seek peace from him, but they will avoid the shame of signing the alliance under the city..."

"Please peace! Please peace! Please, mother!" Ning Wan, I was not finished speaking, and Ajige couldn't help but curse: "Dorgon! Have you ever thought that if our army is at such a disadvantage, if we ask the Tang army for peace, they will definitely put forward extremely arduous conditions. At that time, will you agree or not? Even the Tang army is so arrogant now, I am afraid that it will not agree to the servile request for peace. If this is true, I am afraid that the Qing Empire and the ancestors will be thrown away by you!"

"Shut up! Azig, do you think I am willing?"

Seeing Ajige interrupting like this, Dorgon finally broke out.

He stared with his eyes wide, his forehead was blushed, his mouth curled into a fierce arc, and he shouted loudly: "Now my Qing Dynasty is in diplomacy, he has suffered consecutive defeats, and his territory has been lost. In such a dangerous situation, the country is in danger, what face can he have?! What face can he have to lose?! As long as he can protect the Qing Empire and save the danger in danger, he must do it quickly, and what fuck he wants? If the Qing Empire no longer exists, no matter how many false reputations and faces are there, it will be useless!"

"The Regent is right. As long as the Qing Empire can survive this critical moment and allow the Qing Empire to continue to survive, then negotiations with the Tang army are all necessary. As for whether the Tang army is willing to discuss and what the conditions are, it is not too late to talk after the next talks." The voice behind the curtain finally set the tone for this fierce war and debate in an indisputable tone.

Next, Bumubutai announced the severance of the dynasty on the grounds that he wanted to discuss the negotiator sent with the Regent.

At the same time, she ordered that the heads and corpses of Prince Zheng Jiergalang, Prince Yu Duoduo, and Prince Gongsui Kong Youde should be buried immediately and must not be treated with nothing.

However, what no one expected was that a small accident occurred when the three bodies were buried.

That is, when burying Kong Youde's corpse sack, his daughter Kong Sizhen, dressed in mourning, took out a knife to unconsciously take out her head, stabbed her in the heart, and died on her coffin.

After Kong Sizhen was defeated in Liaoyang City, she was also captured by the Tang army. However, because the commander Monk An was pitying her situation, he released her back to Shengjing with the two defeated soldiers. However, he did not expect that when Kong Youde was about to be buried, the woman committed suicide by burying herself.

It is said that when Kong Sizhen committed suicide, she murmured to herself, her expression was fierce, and she didn't know what she was cursing. She died in the coffin, with her face as pale as snow, and her empty almond eyes were wide open, as if she was looking at the distant sky.

Her suicide was quickly reported to the court. Bumubutai, Dorgon and others sighed very much, so they also ordered her to be buried with his father Kong Youde.

After the funerals of Duoduo, Jirgalang, and Kong Youde, Bumubutai immediately summoned his lover, Regent Dorgon, in the bedroom.

Dorgon slowly walked into the hall and found Bumubutai sitting by the window, looking dumb and unconscious.

Dorgon's heart was filled with emotions. He walked over quietly before calling Da Yu'er behind her. Bumubutai turned around suddenly, threw himself into his arms, and burst into tears.

She cried so deeply, she burst into tears, her shoulders shook, and soon she blew Dorgon's collar around her waist.

Dorgon hugged his shoulder lightly and comforted him repeatedly. Unexpectedly, Bumubutai in his arms cried more and more violently, and he could hardly suppress himself.

After a long time, she sobbed and stopped crying, then raised her face, opened her two rotten eyes, and said to Dorgon, "Dorgon, tell me the truth, can this Qing Dynasty still be preserved?"

This sentence, like a sharp steel needle, instantly pierced Dorgon's heart, and Dorgon's face suddenly felt like a toothache, and he shivered suddenly.

Yes, the Tang army's attack was so fast and its firepower was so strong. Can the Qing Empire really be defended?

But, can you answer this question yourself?

Dorgon sighed slightly, and forced a stiff smile on his face. He hugged his lover tightly in his arms and comforted softly: "Don't worry, the Tang army is not that powerful, and my Qing Empire will definitely not be destroyed."

"Oh? Take this seriously?"

"Yes. Da Yu'er, think about it, the Tang army came to Liaodong this time and fought all the way, and there were tens of thousands of troops killed, injured and sick. In addition, they wanted to divide their troops to station in various places, and the troops that could really be used to attack Shengjing were only more than 100,000. Therefore, under the premise that the Tang army lacked military strength and our Shengjing capital was extremely strong, they could only surround and not attack, so as to avoid damage to the troops or even collapse. In this way, they gave me enough time to breathe. What is the outcome at that time, but it is still difficult to say very well." Dorgon said this in one breath with a smile.

These words were not only to comfort Bumubutai, but actually to encourage him.

After all, the only hope for the Qing Empire to survive now is that the capital city can be protected and can be delayed for a long time. As long as the capital city is not destroyed, the Qing Empire can continue to survive in this way, and wait for the changes of time.

When Bumubutai heard it, a bright color flashed in his eyes.

Alas, it would be great if it could be as Dorgon said.

At this time, Dorgon continued: "However, in the court today, the suggestions made by Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, that the Qing Dynasty should discuss peace with the Tang army, is indeed the only way that Da Yuer said. After all, we can only have time and opportunity to restore and develop after discussing peace with the Tang army. This is crucial for the future of the Qing Empire. It can even be said that whether the Qing Dynasty can still have a future in the end is here."

"Then do you think Tang Jun will agree to our peace talks?" Bumubutai asked again urgently.

"Da Yu'er, in my opinion, if the Tang army has a far-sighted vision, they will agree to hold peace talks with us." Dorgon said in a deep voice: "Because the next battle is long, the Tang army is unable to overcome it for a while, and the teacher and veterans are finally worried about exhaustion. Moreover, the army is alone, although there are sea channels, and they are constantly transporting supplies. After all, it is a long distance and the distance is too long. It is too much to station heavy troops in remote areas for a long time, and it will eventually be unbearable."

Dorgon paused for a moment and said again: "The most critical point is that the battle between the Tang army and Li Zicheng in their country is in full swing, and the two sides are in a stalemate. He must have hoped that after giving me a heavy blow to the Qing Dynasty, he could stop and re-switch troops back to his country, and attack Li Zicheng from the north and south, so as to defeat these rebels who had been in the Central Plains for more than ten years. In my opinion, this is the fundamental intention of the Tang King Li Xiao."

When Dorgon said this, he sighed again and said, "In my opinion, it would be better to send Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan as envoys to Liaoyang to contact the Tang army to express our intentions and see how the Tang army reacted. If the Tang army also had the intention to negotiate, it would be feasible for both sides to start formal negotiations."

After listening to Dorgon's analysis, Bumubutai's face relaxed greatly, and then nodded in agreement: "Very good, according to the regent, I will send Fan Wencheng as the envoy, and Ning Wan and I will go to Liaoyang to have a preliminary talk with the Tang army."
