Chapter 933
Zhu Cihong inspected nearly [-] land and water troops on Chongming Island, and they will undertake the important task of going north to collect Beijing.

In history, Zheng Chenggong once led 10 troops from Fujian to Jinling. Soon after the defeat, he led more than [-] people across the Taiwan Strait and recovered Taiwan, which shows the strength of the Ming army's navy at that time.

After Zhu Cihong's inspection, Zheng Sen said that the food and supplies were ready, and the fleet would sail northward with the help of the monsoon, and Zhu Cihong left Chongming Island satisfied.

Beijing City, once the former capital of the Ming Dynasty and the economic, cultural, and political center of the north, became the capital of the Qing Dynasty after being stolen by the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, military camps were densely dotted inside and outside the city of Beijing, and the triangular yellow dragon flags representing the Qing army were flying in the camps. instruction above.

In Beijing City, the Prince Regent's residence, Dole Gun summoned in a lobby, Manchurian military nobles, and some important ministers.

"Regent, King Boluo of Ruizhong County has sent another urgent letter. Liu Heizi has occupied Xuzhou with his scriptures, and Ma Shiying, the governor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, is leading troops to besiege Xuzhou City. Behind Liu Heizi is a high-ranking thief. I am worried that the high-ranking thief will realize the Ming army. We want to take the opportunity to open the passage to the north, so as to attack Shandong first, we can't wait any longer!"

Nikan reported in a low voice, Dorgon, Babuhai, Gong Adai and others all had gloomy faces.

Gong Adai said: "Since this is the case, we might as well retreat to Shandong now."

Shandong is the last retreat of the Manchu nobles, and there must be no loss. If the Wei army occupies Shandong, they will all be finished.

Nikan immediately shook his head, "Wei thieves have deployed heavy troops on the east side of the river. The troops outside Juyong Pass are only 120 miles away from the capital, and there are tens of thousands of Wei thieves in the direction of Guguan. Once we retreat, the local army's morale will be weakened, and it will inevitably collapse. I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw at that time." When we left Beizhi, we were overtaken by the bandits of Wei."

The Manchu nobles talked a lot, and Feng Quan and Ding Qirui next to them didn't speak. This kind of meeting is usually a discussion between the Manchu nobles. They can only speak when they are asked.

Generally speaking, Han people are not allowed to have access to this kind of meeting, but Feng Quan and Ding Qirui are responsible for communicating with Nanming, so they can attend the meeting.

Dole's face was gloomy. Seeing many Manchurian ministers, he didn't discuss any ideas. He looked at Feng Quan and Ding Qirui and said, "What suggestions do you two scholars have?"

Ding Qirui was originally the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty. He supervised the army to suppress Li Zicheng.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he was not reused. It was not until the relationship between the Qing army and the Ming army eased in the past two years that he was reactivated.

At this time, Ding Qirui was full of sadness, as if he was worried about the Qing Dynasty, he heard the current crisis of the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchurians wanted to flee, and if they fled, the entire Qing Dynasty would collapse immediately, leading to the disintegration of the regime and affecting their escape.

After all, the Manchus have fled, and whoever is willing to resist the Wei army for them must surrender directly, and the Wei army will surely be able to easily catch up with the Qing army with a large number of dependents.

It is also impossible to retreat quietly.

Wei Jun's forward was only more than 100 miles away from Beijing, and the Qing army was almost under Wei Jun's nose.

In the current situation, the Qing army is in a dilemma. Now they can only hold on, but holding on is not a long-term solution. Once the Wei army attacks, he will still be finished.

After listening to Dorgon's words, Ding Qirui's face was full of melancholy, but he didn't give any advice, but lowered his head instead.

At this time, Feng Quan stood up and saluted: "Regent, the servant thinks that the Eight Banners will withdraw, so that there will be no violent turmoil in the place, so that the frontline army will not collapse!"

Dole frowned, "How can this be done?"

The master has run away, but the slave can still fight to the death?Those green battalion soldiers are all cunning and cunning, how could they work for the Qing Dynasty when the Eight Banners escaped.

Feng Quan pondered for a while, raised his head, and said boldly: "Since the regent has decided to withdraw, it is better to hand over all the troops that cannot be taken away to Nanming. Local officials, don't withdraw, don't disrupt the system, so as not to cause trouble. The turbulence, let the place and the army return to the Ming Dynasty in an organized way. In this way, the front-line army will not collapse, and the regent can safely evacuate."

Dorgon's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he stared at Feng Quan and said, "You dog slave, are you taking refuge with Zhu Cihong?"

The envoy sent out to negotiate actually directly took refuge in someone else, which made Dorgon feel angry.

Feng Quan did not answer this question, but knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Regent, this slave is also considering the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can the warriors of the Eight Banners withdraw to Liaodong. It is better for the Ming army to accept these troops than to turn to the Wei bandits. That's good, it's good for the Regent!"

Ding Qirui couldn't help raising his head, glanced at Feng Quan, then lowered his head and continued to listen.

Dorgon stared ferociously at Feng Quan, who bowed his head and raised his buttocks for a while, sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this king accepts this suggestion, but this king can't give Zhu Cihong so many soldiers for nothing, he has to Send another batch of food and cloth to the king."

If the Ming army is allowed to accept the army that Dorgon in Northern Zhili cannot take away, it is tantamount to letting the Ming army help the Eight Banners resist the Wei army and facilitate their withdrawal.

If the Manchus withdrew directly, the frontline troops would have no one to serve, and they would inevitably collapse. Letting them join the Ming army in an organized way might be able to stop the Wei army.

These people can't be taken away anyway, and if they are taken away, they will starve to death outside the pass, so it is better to exchange for more food.

After Dole finished speaking, he asked again, "When is the Ming army planning to go north? If not sooner, the Wei thieves may attack once the autumn harvest is over!"

Feng Quan said: "Prince Regent, the fleet needs a monsoon to go north. Before the autumn harvest, the Ming army will definitely come by sea. At that time, the Ming army will take over Beijing and stabilize the morale of the frontline troops, and the regent will be able to evacuate safely."

~~~~~~
After the meeting, Ding Qirui and Feng Quan walked out of the Prince Regent's residence at the same time. Ding Qirui took a meaningful look at Feng Quan, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Feng is not righteous! You don't tell me about such things, are you afraid of me?" Steal your achievements!"

Feng Quan said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Ding was joking. This matter is confidential. How can I mention it until the critical moment. Besides, Mr. Ding's uncle is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. I'm afraid he has already found a way!"

Ding Qirui smiled, said goodbye to Feng Quan without saying anything.

He first went to the government office to take care of some affairs, and only returned to his house when it was dark, inviting a servant to discuss in secret.

It is true that Ding Qirui's uncle Ding Kuichu is still an official in Nanming, but he has a younger brother Ding Qiguang who is an official in Wei, and his early experience of suppressing bandits in Henan has completely made him lose confidence in the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, they belonged to the pro-Ming faction within the Qing court, but in fact they were from the state of Wei.
