Chapter 609

The time when Gao Yihuan came to southern Henan was quite timely. If it had been a little later, Nanyang might have been captured by the Qing army.

Under the onslaught of the Qing army, Gao Yihuan's [-] Wei army left in southern Henan suffered nearly half of the casualties and was on the verge of collapse.

Although the Qing army suffered heavy losses during the siege, most of the dead were Jiangbei surrendered troops, while the Eight Banners and the veteran Green Battalion soldiers did not suffer much losses. The situation is already very bad.

Just a few days ago, two generals of the Wei army surrendered to the Qing army with nearly a thousand people, causing the army stronghold in Chaya Mountain to fall. Jin Shenghuan only led more than 3000 remnants and fled to Xiangheguan. If soldiers reinforce, enter Nanyang first, maybe Jin Shenghuan will also surrender.

At this time, Gao Yihuan led 6 troops, and with the addition of 1 Baiwang who entered Nanyang through Wuguan, Nanyang Prefecture had an additional [-] new troops, and immediately stabilized the line of defense.

Duoduo was waiting for Gao Yihuan in Xuzhou, but he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to go directly to Nanyang. His expectations fell through again, and he went berserk.

Gao Yihuan's prediction was right, Duoduo became angry, and the Qing army launched another fierce attack.

The offensive and defensive battle in southern Henan, which had just stopped for two days, became fierce again and entered a white-hot state.

At this time, when the Qing army was fighting the Wei army, the fighting between the Qing army and the Ming army had basically stopped.

In Nanjing City, on a flower boat on the Qinhuai River, Hou Fangyu was talking with Fu Yijian, an envoy sent by the Qing court.

Negotiating such a matter, if you talk about it well, you can't make it public, and if you don't talk about it, you will be infamous. Therefore, the bigwigs in the Nanjing court are unwilling to get involved in this matter.

The Qing court sent envoys over. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng didn't want to fight anymore, but they were afraid of problems, so after much deliberation, they finally decided to let the Donglin party members do this.

Politics is like this, before Ma Ruan and Donglin were still at odds, and they were fighting like hell, but as Donglin lost power and the imperial party rose rapidly, Ma Ruan found Donglin party members again.

Negotiating peace was a common proposition of Ma Ruan and Donglin earlier. Later, Ma Ruan saw the turbulent public opinion and changed it to the main battle. But in fact, they are not staunch main fighters.

Since the beginning of the Jiangbei War, one of the four towns in Jiangbei has been besieged, and two towns have defected to the enemy. The Qing army's troops headed straight to Beijing, which immediately made Ma Ruan shaken.

At this time, they approached Donglin who had become a street rat again, and wanted them to preside over the peace negotiation, but the big bosses of Donglin were not stupid, they all knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so they didn't want to participate. lest you ruin your reputation.

At first, the Donglin party members did not agree rashly, but discussed the pros and cons of this matter.

First of all, this matter, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, must bear a bad name, and since it bears a bad name, it must be beneficial, otherwise, who will take such a job.

This made the big bosses of Donglin very scruples, fearing that it would be like the Chongzhen Dynasty again. If they did something, they would not get good results, and if things went wrong, they would be sold.

It's not impossible to be Qin Hui, but at least one should have the same treatment as Qin Hui.

Although it was an opportunity for Donglin to preside over the peace negotiation, the big bosses were very cautious, and they had to find out the attitude of the emperor and the court first.

At this time, Zhu Cihong also needed to take a breath. After all, the gap between the Ming army and the Qing army was there, but the emperor could not clearly express his intentions, so he used other methods to release some information so that The courtier pondered.

Of course, if you figure out the meaning of the emperor and do things well for the emperor, you will naturally be rewarded by the emperor.

This is an unspoken rule for thousands of years, and Zhu Cihong's performance in this regard is much better than that of Chongzhen.

Therefore, some changes took place very quickly in the Nanjing imperial court. First, several Donglin party cadres were revived, and secondly, Qian Qianyi's crimes were commuted.Although he is still in the cell, it is certain that as long as the Donglin Party gets things done, he will be released from prison sooner or later.

After receiving these signals, the big bosses of Donglin understood what the emperor meant, but the big bosses are big bosses, and they are all monkey spirits. They can make suggestions, but they can't charge forward.

Who to send to contact the Qing envoys became a difficult problem. Several people visited Qian Qianyi in prison, and after talking about this matter, Qian Qianyi finally made a decision and said: "I think Hou Fangyu of Fushe is good, you can appoint him." With heavy responsibility."

Hou Fangyu is the son of Hou Xun. His roots are Hongmiaozheng. He was an active member of Fushe in the early days.

With Qian Qianyi's recommendation, everyone immediately went to find Hou Fangyu. After checking, they found out that Hou Fangyu had been implicated in the Huguang Incident and had been locked up for more than half a year. As soon as the big bosses worked, they fished Hou Fangyu out. He had a low-level contact with Qing envoy Fu Yijian.

If the talk is good, then continue. If the talk is not good, it doesn't matter. After all, the level is low, and you can give up at any time.

Fu Yijian was the new top scholar of the Manchu Qing Dynasty last year, and also the first champion after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. He was sent to Nanjing by the Qing court to make contact with the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to follow the example of the Song and Jin Dynasties and sign a contract.

At this time, Hou Fangyu was standing on the bow of the boat, enjoying the freedom after being released from prison, and he was sighing in his heart.

But Fu Yijian walked over with this glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Chao Zong, how do you feel?"

"Brother Yu Pan, I've been tricked this time. If this gets out, I'll become a national traitor and I'll lose face." Hou Fangyu said with a wry smile.

Fu Yijian said sternly: "Brother Chao Zong, you are wrong for saying that. Didn't you scold me too? You are ashamed to see others, so I am ashamed. The change of dynasty is caused by history, and no one can stop it. "

Fu Yijian looked at the stone city in the distance and the lights of the Qinhuai River with his deep eyes, "The general trend of this world is that for a long time, there will be chaos, and for a long time, there will be chaos. This has been the case for thousands of years since the Yellow Emperor. This is the number of days." , you and I have no ability to change. What we scholars can do is to alleviate the suffering of the people and avoid the harm caused by the war. The truce between the two families and their respective strikes is a matter of immeasurable merit! In this case, Brother Chaozong still Don't talk about it, whether you are found out by the Qing Dynasty or by important officials of your country, you will be in trouble."

Hou Fangyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Pan is really good-tongued, no wonder he can be reused by the north. But even if the truce is beneficial to the people, it is a matter of great merit, brother Yu Pan can't make Yangzhou and Let all the state capitals in Jiangbei be under the name of the north!"

"Hahaha~" Fu Yijian laughed, "We can talk about this again!"

The two were talking and laughing, when a beautiful woman came out of the flower boat, she came gracefully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hou, Mr. Fu, what are you talking about?"

The beauty is a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River recently. Her stage name is Yuxiang'er. She is as fresh as orchid and as gentle as jade. She is also proficient in poetry and songs. Opening up the fame, the limelight overshadowed the former Bayan.

Immediately, Fu Yijian's eyes sparkled, and he stepped forward to block Hou Fangyu's body, and said with a graceful smile: "Fu is discussing poetry with brother Chaozong!"

Yu Xiang'er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, her voice was like a lark, "Mr. Fu has a lot of talents, and his poetry should be the best."

Fu Yijian has a thin triangular face, his eyes are narrowed into a line when he smiles, and two black hairs tremble in a mole on his lips. His appearance is very wretched, but he pretends to be romantic. Said: "Of course, Fu was able to write poems at the age of seven, and painted at the age of eight. He has a solid foundation in poetry. It's windy here, and if Miss Xiang'er wants to learn more about it, you might as well go to my room and talk, let's study it in depth~"
