Chapter 303
The news that Daishan brought back made the Qing court mixed. Fortunately, Tangning did not intend to kill them all.

What is worrying is that the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, and there will be no day to turn around. As for whether Tangning's promised conditions can be fully fulfilled, there is no certainty.

After all, after surrendering, Tangning was a Daozu, and she was a fish. Even if Tangning repented on the spot, there was nothing she could do.

But things have come to this point, and they can only think about the bright side.

When a person admits that he has failed and decides to surrender, his mentality will change a lot, and he will become more and more compromised.

In the end, the Qing court chose to surrender with a minority in favor of the majority.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang took the young Shunzhi with her, and led her ministers Dorgon, Jierhalang, Daishan and more than a hundred people to come to Tangning to surrender.

Tang Ning led the team out to greet him with a calm expression, but most of the generals and staff officers around him couldn't hide the joy and arrogance on their faces.

Xiaozhuang wears a gorgeous phoenix crown on his head and a phoenix robe of nine phoenixes wearing peonies, with a graceful demeanor.

She brought her young son Fulin to salute Tangning, and all the officials behind her also bowed.

Xiao Zhuang held Fulin's hand, and said to Tangning in a neither humble nor overbearing way, "Mr. Borzigit, Bumbutai led all the criminal officials to pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Guangming."

Xiaozhuang didn't mention the Qing Dynasty again, and he didn't call himself the empress dowager. First of all, he changed his title. From some details, it can be seen that she is a very smart woman.

Even if you have admitted defeat, there is no need to deliberately maintain some arrogance.

In this era, there were two women Tang Ning admired the most. One was Qin Liangyu, an old senior from Shizhu, and the other was Empress Xiaozhuang Wen of the Qing court. This was the one in front of her.

It can be said that Xiaozhuang is a very remarkable female politician in the entire history of China, and her life played a decisive role in the Qing Dynasty.

She played an extremely important role in several events that could directly determine the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

In the battle for the throne when she entered the customs in the early Qing Dynasty, she also contacted various forces, and finally supported her son Fulin to take the throne, avoiding the Qing court's infighting.

In 18, the 1661th year of Shunzhi, the beloved concubine Dong E passed away suddenly. Fulin was deeply shocked. In the end, despite her mother's dissuasion, she resolutely became a monk and became a monk, but died of smallpox soon after.

Although Xiao Zhuang, who lost his beloved son, was very sad, he had to cheer up and clean up the huge mess. Because of Shunzhi's sudden death, the Qing Dynasty had no king, and a new emperor had to be established as soon as possible.

Xiaozhuang wholeheartedly supported the eight-year-old Xuanye, who was Emperor Kangxi, and devoted himself to nurturing and assisting him.

Kangxi's ability to become an emperor through the ages is inseparable from Xiaozhuang's childhood training, so he was able to capture Oboi as a young man.

When the withdrawal of the San Francisco led to chaos across the country, it was Xiao Zhuang who supported Kangxi, finally calmed the San Francisco, and once again preserved the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, behind Kangxi, there has always been the figure of Xiaozhuang. Kangxi can become an emperor through the ages, and the first person to thank is his grandmother.

In addition to admiring this woman's ability, Tang Ning also admired her character. Xiaozhuang has the ability and opportunity to monopolize the power, listen to the government behind the curtain, and give power to the government and the public.

However, she has never had such thoughts. In her life, she has devoted herself to supporting her son and grandson two generations of emperors. This alone is many times stronger than another woman in the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, Xiaozhuang's ability is also many times stronger than that woman's. If Xiaozhuang listens to the government behind the curtain or proclaims himself emperor, it will be another good story.

Tang Ning sighed in her heart. Her appearance directly caused the Qing court to perish. In the future, there might not be a stage for this woman to play a major role.

Originally, Emperor Shunzhi Fulin should be the first to speak on behalf of the Qing court, but he was young and had never experienced such things, so it is understandable that his mother did it for him.

Tangning glanced at the crowd before saying modestly, "You don't need to be too polite."

"Today we turn hostility into friendship. Tomorrow, Han and Manchus will all be one family, and we will join hands in the great event of Ming Dynasty."

Xiao Zhuang saluted again, and said in a vibrating voice, "Thank you for your generosity, His Highness King Guangming."

After some courtesies, Tangning sent people to receive the more than [-] people who surrendered from the Qing court, and then returned to Shengjing City together.

However, Tangning only stayed in Shengjing City for a short time, and then led the main force back to the pass, including all the troops of the Eight Banners Army and the officials of the Qing court. As for the common people, most of them were resettled in Shengjing City.

Of course, the defense of Shengjing City is now under the responsibility of the new army. Tang Ning left 30 troops in Liaodong, in order to restore and strengthen the authority of the three capital divisions, especially the Nurgan capital division.

Because Nurgandusi not only covers a large area where the Manchurians live, but also borders on the Raksha Kingdom in the north.

As a descendant, Tangning naturally understood the importance of the Northeast better than anyone else, and would not be like the Qing court, who would ignore the defenses outside the pass after entering the pass, and even refused the Han people inside the pass to enter the outside of the pass.

On the contrary, in the future, Tangning will connect the inside of the pass with the outside of the pass, open the door of convenience, and encourage the people inside the pass to go outside the pass, and even go further north.

Because whether it is a farming feudal society or a commodity economy capitalism, only people can develop.

Tangning will expand Shengjing City, build several core cities in the north, and build official roads to connect the cities to strengthen control.

When the economy is good, people don’t need to be encouraged or given benefits to move. They will take the initiative to move there. With enough manpower and resources, the country can strengthen its control.

Of course, these are all ideas for the future, and they need to be done step by step, not overnight.

Before Tang Ning returned to the capital, the Qing army surrendered, and the news of the official demise of the Qing court quickly spread to the capital.

For a time, the whole city was boiling, and this atmosphere quickly spread to the whole country, and the whole country was jubilant.

Daming's greatest enemy finally perished.

Hearing that Tang Ning's army was less than [-] miles away from the capital, Tang Jianguo Zhu Yujian immediately led the main cabinet members, as well as some members of the Senate and House of Representatives to greet them. The scale was very large.

However, this was not what Tangning asked for, and he never let anyone go out of town to greet her.

But then again, Tangning could fully afford such a standard, and no one thought it was wrong.

It can be said that after the Hongguang regime of Daming in Yingtianfu perished and Emperor Hongguang was captured by the Qing court, there was almost no room for recovery. Most people had lost all confidence in Daming and felt that it was only a matter of time before the Qing court occupied the country.

However, Tang Ning led the new army to turn the tide. First, they defeated the Azige tribe in Lishui City in Yingtian Mansion, forcing Wu Sangui to surrender.

Then, Tangning quickly changed her strategy and joined forces with the Guan Ning army. Taking advantage of Ying Tianfu's Qing army not knowing the Guan Ning army's surrender, she was caught by surprise and cooperated internally and externally to take Ying Tianfu directly.

Azig's retreat was cut off, and he was chased and intercepted by several armies of the New Army. In the end, all the troops in the south of the Yangtze River that he personally led were wiped out and captured alive.

This is the first very important victory since the Ming Dynasty fought against the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Many people believe that this battle was a turning point in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
