The Qing soldiers are coming down to the city.
Seeing this team of people and horses under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, the city immediately fell into chaos, the sound of crying father and shouting mother was earth-shattering, countless signatories panicked, running back and forth like headless flies, and the backbone of the royal family Beijing camp did not know how to restrain it, so they let everyone be confused.
At this time, Zhu Dayou picked up his flintlock pistol, and the boss held the big knife in his hand tightly, and it seemed that in the entire city of Beijing, only these two people were defending themselves.
In fact, there were not many Qing soldiers coming, but only a hundred people, and they did not shout loudly, so they slowed down the speed of the horses from a distance, Zhu Dayou saw that they were close to the range of the muskets, immediately loaded the gunpowder lead, aimed at the first Qing soldier, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
After hard training, Zhu Dayou's musket shot was very accurate, and this shot hit the chest of the Manchu front, and the Manchu soldier screamed and fell off his horse.
This shot was like a needle in the sea, which made the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city who were originally screaming in chaos immediately stabilize their minds, followed by an earth-shattering shout.
Zhu Dayou was not excited, but took out the fixed gunpowder with a serious face and reloaded it again, and shouted at the brothers around him while loading: "The royal family Beijing camp restrains the signing, the flintlock pistol is loaded, and the people are ready to prepare defensive equipment."
With his order, the brothers around him were infected by his calmness, and one by one began to shout at the people under his jurisdiction to prepare for war, and at the same time, like Zhu Dayou, he loaded his musket and aimed his guns at the Qing soldiers outside the city.
The originally panicked city was centered on this small stable cornerstone and continued to spread in both directions.
At this time, Zhu Dayou's shoulder was patted, and a calm voice praised: "Yes, I didn't fall into the Ming Dynasty, you should remember the first merit of this battle, and now you are the president of Qian."
Turning his head suddenly, at some point, Cao Huachun was already standing behind him.
At this time, the Manchu team under the city, not annoyed and angry because of the tragic death of one of their brothers, but immediately retreated out of the range of muskets, and after a while, a war horse rushed out of the team, and the knight on the horse waved a white flag and shouted at the city again and again: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are the messengers of the Qing Empire, for the peace between the two countries and never come to war again, please ask the general in the city to open the city, allow us to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and convey the meaning of the truce between the two countries." ” As soon as this news reached the city, it immediately made the city head silent, this news was indeed too unexpected for everyone, and all eyes were on the highest prefect on the field, the emperor's representative Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun really didn't expect such a result, clenched his fists tightly, and after pondering for a long time, he turned to Zhu Dayou beside him and said, "Kaicheng, let them in." ” Zhu Dayou was just about to run down to carry out the order, but the boss next to him suddenly grabbed him and reminded: "Bring more people to prevent fraud." ” This reminder immediately made Zhu Dayou wake up, turned around and greeted his brothers, ran to the city gate hole, and then cautiously opened the city gate hole to only allow one person and one horse to pass through the gap, a hundred soldiers, 500 Xiang Yong who had just arrived, tightly held the weapon in his hand, staring at the Manchu envoys who rushed in.
After this period of busyness, Cao Huachun had already rectified the most powerful soldiers, standing in the empty field in front of the city gate, greeting the Manchu envoys.
As soon as the envoys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw Cao Huachun, they immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed their hands on the horse: "Foreign minister of the Qing Empire, Wang Siyuan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, has visited this father-in-law, I don't know what this father-in-law is called." ” Cao Huachun snorted, and then reported his official position: "The Great Inner Celebrant Bingbi, the Governor of the Beijing Camp Cao Huachun." ” When Wang Siyuan heard this, he immediately stood in awe, Cao Huachun is recognized as the most upright and talented eunuch in the world, and it is really a light on his face to be greeted by him personally.
Another one, that is, as soon as he came, he was able to meet Cao Huachun, which can be regarded as his luck, otherwise, whether he can see Chongzhen or not.
So he gave his hand again and explained his intention: "The foreign minister was ordered by my Qing Emperor to send a special envoy to the Ming Empire to meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and said that he was willing to return to the Ming Dynasty again, please be a vassal and guard the northern frontier for the Ming Dynasty."
The heart of the foreign minister, but also asked Gonggong Cao to reach the Ming Emperor. ” Cao Huachun was stunned on the spot when he heard this, why, when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, the Manchu Qing recognized that Xiong wanted to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, this is a big news, no matter whether this news is good or bad, at least it can fight for a period of time to consolidate the defensive ability of the Beijing Division.
Wang Siyuan said as he took out a copy of the peace agreement in his sleeves with both hands, and presented it with both hands: "This is a copy of the collegiate agreement between the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I also ask my father-in-law to forward it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ” Cao Huacheng glanced at the copy, but did not reach out to take it, because he knew that he could let the envoy in, this was just an expedient time, and once he received this copy of the peace agreement, it would be equivalent to receiving a bunch, and no matter what the outcome would be in the future, he would not be able to get rid of it no matter what.
However, he said lightly: "For your visit, as a minister, I can't say no, this matter is handled by Honglu Temple, I can only inform our Emperor His Majesty, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to decide."
So he instructed the left and right: "Set up the tables and chairs here, serve tea, please come and rest, and I will meet the emperor now." ” When Cao Huachun hurried to the Purple Palace of the Imperial City, the Great Dynasty Meeting had not yet dispersed, and now after the last resignation of the Lone Ministers, it was really arrogant, and it was aggressive in the main hall, Donglin of course did not give an inch, and the ministers of various factions were still arguing and attacking each other.
When Cao Huachun, who received the holy decree, came in, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw such a situation, when did this happen, where did these ministers come from.
So he walked through the ministers who were fighting with each other and knelt down in front of Chongzhen.
Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun loudly: "Is there any emergency military situation when the big companion comes?"
At this time, you have to be loud, the whole hall has become a pot of porridge, because your voice is low, both sides can't hear it at all.
As a result, Cao Huachun originally wanted to report in a whisper, but at this time he had to raise his voice and reply: "Long live Qi Song, the puppet emperor Taiji, send envoys to ask for a meeting and negotiate peace with the country." ” As a result, the sound was too loud, but once again a dynamite bag was ignited in this hall, no, it ignited the entire dynamite factory, and the shocking effect was absolutely unique, and all the ministers who were tearing each other immediately turned into wood carving clay sculptures one by one. t1706231537:
