I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 268 Situation

Peace!

Or negotiate peace with Junggar.

Cewang Alabutan is not easy to deal with, and this wave is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

But it is obvious that neither Yongzheng nor the Qing Dynasty had a choice.

Zhang Tingyu saw clearly that during the peace talks, no matter how ambitious Cewang Alabutan was, he would not dare to go too far. At most, he would be betraying some interests (treason).

After all, the Qing Dynasty was just in turmoil and had not really fallen yet.

Negotiate peace with Junggar so that all the 20 troops from the northwest can be transferred back, and then fight to the death with the Ming court in the south. If they don't succeed, they will be benevolent.

Otherwise, if the two lakes are lost, the north will be completely rotten sooner or later, and it will be too late to fight again.

Yongzheng pondered for a long time and looked around. Everyone in his highness bowed his head and remained silent.

"...Then let's negotiate peace as Zhang Qing said!" After the words came out, Yong Zheng let go.

If it can't get over this hurdle, then the Qing Dynasty will probably be at the end of its rope, and it won't care about shame.

After all, Yongzheng was not Chongzhen. For the sake of face, he would not move the capital until his death, and would have to wait for the ministers to take the initiative.

The key minister who took the initiative to mention it happened to have a lesson learned from the past, and that was Chen Xinjia.

First, Chongzhen's secret envoy Chen Xinjia negotiated peace with the Qing army, but the matter was revealed.Chongzhen threw all the blame on Chen Xinjia and insisted on executing him.

Several cabinet ministers were unable to persuade him. After all this, who would dare to speak, without fear that the emperor would turn his back on him?

Having decided to negotiate for peace, Ma Qi also spoke up and suggested: "Your Majesty, since you want to negotiate for peace, the person who leads the peace negotiation should also be cautious."

Yongzheng nodded: "Yes. The decree was drafted, and Prince Yi was appointed as the chief envoy of the peace negotiation. He was fully responsible for the peace negotiation and allowed him to act expediently."

His Royal Highness, Prince Yi Yunxiang, quickly thanked him: "My brother accepts the decree!"

Taking full responsibility and acting cheaply means that as long as Junggar can be stabilized in the northwest, anything can be sold.

If anything goes wrong, Emperor Yongzheng will take care of it, so there is no need to worry about blame.

As for the degree of betrayal, it depends on Yunxiang himself.

Zhang Tingyu once again offered advice: "Your Majesty! In addition, you can also issue an imperial edict to reward the generals who pretend to be Ming Dynasty!"

When Yongzheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think seriously.

This is conspiracy.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, a reward should be given anyway, even if it is just to alienate someone.

Yongzheng even planned to seal it if not, but if he wanted to seal it, he would simply use some strong medicine.Pretending to make it clear that the generals over there can be crowned kings, and those who cannot be crowned kings, at least they have to be crowned princes.

In short, all the high-ranking officials had their generous salaries, and Yongzheng really planned to honor them.

The premise is that the false Ming is not destroyed, and the false Ming will not be destroyed for a day, then all the generals who come over from the false Ming will be promoted.

Including Yang Gong, the "number one warrior of the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty", whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Eight Banners.

As long as he is willing to vote, he will be crowned king for sure.

Yongzheng put his palms together and praised: "Zhang Qing is really a good minister for me to govern the world. I have Zhang Qing like a fish in water!"

Zhang Tingyu quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!"

Of course, peace negotiations and rewards can only be discussed later.

Now the Ming and Qing Dynasties have just concluded a major war. The Ming army has to digest the newly occupied territory, while the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also have to clean up the mess in their hands.

Even if the peace talks are successful, mobilizing the northwest army will still take time, money and food.

Anyway, it is unlikely that another large-scale war will break out between Yongzheng and Emperor Zhu within this year.

Now is the time for both sides to accumulate strength and race against time.

After talking about the peace talks, the next step is to make follow-up arrangements for the situation between the north and the south.

Zhang Wenhuan, who was in Xuzhou, directly put all the responsibility for the defeat on Cao Di, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Green Camp.

It almost means that because Cao Di underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, the entire army was annihilated. Zhang Wenhuan was outnumbered and defeated by the Ming army.

It doesn't matter what the facts are. Cao Di died in battle. This is a confusing account.

Without the advice of Ma Qi and others, Yongzheng could only pretend that he didn't know and sent Cao Di's family into exile.

You can’t deal with Zhang Wenhuan!
Not to mention that Yongzheng did not have many generals who could take charge of his own role, Xuzhou had become the front line of the war, and changing generals on the battlefield was a taboo on the battlefield.

In the south, a number of Manchu and Han officials, including General Jingzhou of Hubei Province and Governor Pianyuan, also frantically impeached Long Ke Duolian for losing the battle, losing the city, losing territory, and losing troops.

The impeachment memorial and military intelligence reports were almost immediately sent to Beijing.In this regard, Yongzheng was much more straightforward and did not directly chop Longkoduo.

But he also decisively issued an order to temporarily remove the governor of the six provinces of Longkodo.

After all, Longkodo was still a member of Yongzheng. If this incident hadn't been too big, Wuchang would have been lost, and Yongzheng couldn't bear it anymore.

If Longkodo is removed, someone will have to take over.

As for the candidates, Yongzheng already had a draft in mind.

It didn't take long for an imperial edict to confer the governorship of Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan, as the governor of the five provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The imperial edict to governor the military and political secrets of the five provinces was rushed [-] miles to Chengdu, Sichuan.

……

Shanxi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity between Yongzheng and Emperor Zhu to fight in the north and south, Liu Ruhan, who had been hiding in Funiu Mountain, finally made a move.

This time Liu Ruhan learned his lesson and not only took up the banner of the King of Han, but also picked up the brand of leader of the Bagua Cult again.

Relying on the Bagua sect's deceptive methods and the Manchu and Qing government's brutal expropriation, Liu Ruhan quickly broke out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing army was not in Shanxi and the Shanxi Green Camp was exhausted and slack.

Qinzhou (Qinxian County) was the first to bear the brunt. Liu Ruhan didn't even waste any effort and only sent out insiders to sneak into the city first.

With the internal and external coordination, Qinzhou did not waste any effort.

Later, Wuxiang and Qinyuan followed the same method.

Liu Ruhan immediately took Qinzhou as his base and began to train troops intensively. At the same time, he promoted the integration of politics and religion to enhance the cohesion of the political power.

(Liu Ruhan) The Han army has now become a sitting bandit.

Taiyuan Prefecture soon learned of the fall of Qinzhou and the resurgence of Liu Ruhan, and hurriedly dispatched an army to attack.

The Han army actually learned a lesson this time. They first sent a miscellaneous force to pretend to be defeated and lured the Taiyuan Qing army into pursuit. Then they set up an ambush along the way and divided their troops to cut off their food routes.

The Qing army in Taiyuan realized that they had been deceived. Although they fought bravely, their food routes were cut off and they were outnumbered.

The Han army defeated the Qing army in this battle.

Shanxi's state capitals were shocked.

Liu Ruhan decisively pursued the victory and led tens of thousands of Han troops to attack the empty city of Taiyuan, and even captured many cannons of the Qing army in Taiyuan.

Liu Ruhan is not easy to deal with either!
……

Guangxi.

The state capitals in Guidong and Central Guangxi have all been captured by Lin Jun, and Lin Jun also paid a heavy price.

Fortunately, the resistance in Guidong was particularly fierce. The entire government in central Guangxi was almost turned into ashes under the repeated tug-of-war between the Lin Army and the Qing Army.

Guangdong and Guangxi are already full of bandits. Among them, Guangxi is purely a rogue bandit that was beaten out by Lin Jun and the Qing army, and Guangdong is because of Lin Jun's violent expropriation.

Since Lin Jun wants to play Guangxi, and he is still a tough guy, he needs countless money and food support.

In fact, Lin Jun just wants to squeeze in. Excessive levies and expropriations are definitely out of the question (compared to the Qing court), but he wants to engage in sustainable development, but who cares about the generals under his command?

The most important thing is that these generals all understand military affairs, and they know the gap between Guangdong, Guangxi and Ming Dynasty.

King Lin will definitely not be able to defeat Emperor Zhu.

The key point is that King Lin is a fan of the authorities, or in other words, Lin Jun is unwilling to just give up the throne that he has won with real swords and guns.

For this throne, Lin Jun has not had time to give birth to a son, and has been fighting in person.

There is never a shortage of harem, and Emperor Bi Zhu would enjoy it.

Since we can't defeat the Ming Dynasty and can't surrender, we can naturally make money and be happy.

In fact, Lin Jun was a little unable to win when he reached western Guangxi. There were too many chieftain soldiers there.

The Guangxi soldiers were not built for cover. Even in the previous games, those who caused heavy casualties to Lin's army were basically the soldiers.

Moreover, that’s it for Guangxi.

The Yao people in Shaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province also made a lot of noise. The city of Shaozhou Prefecture was once surrounded by these daring Yao people insurgents.

If they really couldn't defeat them, I'm afraid these Yao people would be preparing to go south to Guangzhou now.

This is the royal capital of King Lin.
