Ming Zuo

"Dorgon intends to hold us back first, and concentrate on solving Li Zicheng. After he has accumulated enough strength, he will attack us."

Zuo Menggeng saw through Hong Chengchou's intention at a glance.

"Hmph, how can they do what they want?"

Zuo Dai's face was as frosty.

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"Why can't he do what he wants? Of course he has to do what he wants."

Many people present were surprised.

Li Banghua reminded: "If the Manchu Qing is allowed to eliminate Li Zicheng first, occupying the Central Plains and the Northwest. At that time, it will become a serious problem."

Aware of everyone's worries, Zuo Menggeng waved his hands with confidence.

"If you don't let Dorgon rest assured, and don't let the Qing army go after Li Zicheng, how can you stretch the Manchu front?"

He walked up to the map and casually gestured at the situation, which made many people feel enlightened.

"Don't you all have confidence in our strength? As long as the Qing army's front line is stretched, the speed of our unification will be accelerated a lot. Why not do it?"

Hou Xun had already got along with Zuo Menggeng, and he had already mastered the overall strategy.

"Dorgon wants to hold us back, so why don't we want him to relax his vigilance? This is called the height of the devil and the height of the Tao."

Liu Yiyuan asked: "Is that to talk about peace with Man Qing?"

"It's good to talk about it, at least it can make Dorgon feel at ease."

Zuo Menggeng set the tone.

Huang Zongxi had the same idea as him.

"It is not only necessary to negotiate, it is best to sign a treaty. Only in this way, the Manchu Qing side will not have a lot of worries, and will use all their strength to attack Li Zicheng."

Zhang Zhenxiu was a little puzzled.

"Once the treaty is signed, wouldn't it be dishonest to the people of the world if we take action against the Manchus in the future?"

As a result, many people present burst into laughter.

Zuo Menggeng said with a smile: "The so-called treaty, from the day it is signed, is ready to be torn up. In the face of absolute strength, the treaty is just a scrap of paper."

Zuo Yong followed and said, "At that time, you can find any excuse and tear up the treaty."

Zhang Zhenxiu shook his head and smiled wryly.

He is a traditional scholar-bureaucrat who pays most attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.After returning to the country of Xia, he has been serving as a judge.

And the legal field is the one that pays the most attention to rules and credit, so it is inevitable that I lack some understanding of politics.

After discussion, the Xia State Center dispatched Wang Yun and Chong Hua to Dezhou to join Mao Yuanyi, Commander of the Central Military Region, to negotiate with the representatives of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing that Xia Guo was willing to negotiate peace, the three of Hong Chengchou were all very excited.

"Although there have been many disputes between your country and ours, from now on we promise that we will not cross the threshold and never invade the territory of the Xia Kingdom."

During this period of time, Hong Chengchou had obtained authorization from Dorgon.

As long as Xia Guo can be stabilized, any conditions can be promised.

Apparently, Man Qing also understood that everything he said and did now was just to confuse his opponent, and he had no intention of obeying it at all.

As the main negotiator, Wang Yun performed very well.

"This is the best, but we also have conditions."

When the three of Hong Chengchou were nervous, Wang Yun made an unexpected condition.

"After Li Zicheng is eliminated in the future, your country must withdraw from the customs and return power to Ming Dynasty."

It was this.

The three of Hong Chengchou let out a sigh of relief.

Sony quickly said: "This is what should be done. When we entered the Qing Dynasty, we accepted the request of the officials of the Ming Dynasty and avenged the Ming Emperor."

This kind of nonsense is not clever at all.As for whether Xia Guo believed it or not, Man Qing didn't care at all.

As long as Xia Guo doesn't send troops, everything doesn't matter.

The three people on Xia Guo's side seemed to really believe it.

"During your country's stay in the capital, you must not damage the city or harm the people."

Man Qing readily agreed to all Xia Guo's conditions, and Man Dahai even made a request.

"The vicinity of the capital is barren and the products are limited. I also hope that your country will not block the water transportation. Only in this way can the people of the capital live and work in peace and contentment."

The three of Wang Yun discussed it together and agreed to this one.

"We can guarantee smooth water transportation. As long as the food transported to the capital falls into the hands of the common people, there will be no problem."

The three of Sony nodded, overjoyed.

The grain transported to the capital is at most a matter of distributing some and selling it to the common people.Most of them will definitely become the logistical supplies for the Qing army's operations.

Can Xia Guo still check it?
The intentions of the two parties were the same, and the negotiation was very fast and did not take too much time.

Finally, after deliberation, the two sides established a series of terms.

With the front line of Cangzhou and Dezhou as the boundary, the military forces of both sides must not cross the boundary to avoid misunderstanding.

The normal business exchanges and personnel flow between the two sides on the border shall not be restricted, and free entry and exit are allowed.

The Qing Dynasty guaranteed that the capital would be intact and that the people in the capital would live and work in peace and contentment.After Li Zicheng is eliminated in the future, he will return to the outside of the pass.

Xia Guo guaranteed smooth water transportation, and even agreed to the Manchu Qing's request to purchase artillery.

The negotiated terms were sent to the capital and Jinan respectively.

"I think Zuo Menggeng is nothing more than that. In time, the whole world will belong to me."

Dorgon was so happy that he signed the treaty without saying a word.

"The Qing Dynasty was fooled. Send the order down, and all departments should start preparing. It won't be long before we will clean up the mess."

Zuo Menggeng also signed the treaty.

This treaty was named "Xia Qing Non-Aggression Treaty".

The name Zuo Menggeng gave...

Dorgon felt very good and readily agreed.

After the two sides exchanged the treaty, they announced it to the world together.

Obviously, they all want to use this method to contain the other party, so that the other party must abide by the treaty.

Li Zicheng, who was still on the way to retreat, couldn't help but panic when he received the news, and finally realized that things seemed to be a big deal.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, Wu Sangui, Duoduo, and Azig were biting at the back tightly, not giving him a chance to breathe.

On the eighth day of May, the Qing army overtook the Shun army in Qingdu.

Qihou Guying led his troops to fight fiercely with the Qing army in the east of the city.

The Shun army retreated all the way. They were exhausted and exhausted. They could not stop the Qing army's offensive at all. Even Gu Ying died on the spot.

Then the Qing army chased Zhending again, and fought again, but the Shun army was still defeated and suffered heavy losses.

So far, the more than [-] troops that Li Zicheng brought to the capital have been depleted.It can only retreat into Shanxi from Jingxing, and leave elite soldiers to defend Guguan.

For this sake, the Qing army has reached its limit.

After Dorgon gave the order, the Qing army stopped pursuing and returned to the capital.

In order to win the hearts of the people, Man Qing mourned Chongzhen for three days in the capital.It seemed that the contents of the treaty were really confirmed, that they really came to avenge Emperor Ming.

And unlike Dashun who treated Ming Dynasty officials extremely harshly, Manchu Qing was extremely tolerant to these people, and even had to be promoted to rank.

All of a sudden, these bereaved dogs surrendered to the Qing Dynasty without any backbone.

This also caused the strength of Manchu to skyrocket rapidly.

Dorgon felt more and more that it was the right choice to sign a peace treaty with Xia.
