 Hearing that Sun Guangwei had destroyed the Qing cavalry, Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed and was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he set up camp in Huangcun and patiently waited for the news that the navy had captured Tongzhou.

On this day, he took his concubine Erdeni Bemba to hunt deer in Nanhaizi near Huangcun.

During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, due to the flooding of the ancient Hun River and wind and sand siltation, a large area of ​​sand dune wasteland was formed in the Huangcun area, so it was named Huangcun, homophonic to Huangcun. The Ming Dynasty established a large royal hunting ground in the Huangcun, Yizhuang, and Nanyuan areas: Nanhaizi, which was surrounded by earth walls.

, there are four Haizi Gates. In the early Qing Dynasty, this place was used as an enclosure for the royal family and bureaucrats to hunt and practice martial arts. The earthen walls were changed to brick walls, and the Haizi Gates were also changed from four to nine.

The reason why he wanted to go deer hunting was because Concubine Xian told him that deer blood was good and would help increase the joy of life. Emperor Guangwu was old, and his energy was not as strong as that of a young and strong boy, but he did have an ageless ambition.

After hearing this, he took his beloved woman to Nanhaizi to hunt deer.

"Whoosh!"

Emperor Guangwu pulled up his bowstring to hunt a moose, and the arrow flew away. His face turned red. Over the years, he had been commanding his subordinates to kill and rarely went into battle himself, so his archery skills were quite rusty.

"In spring, all beasts multiply. Your Majesty is merciful and cannot bear to kill. His grace is spread all over the fields, and I respect you." Erdeni Bemba beside him said softly, his eyes full of adoring little stars.

My beloved concubine is so considerate! It was obvious that I had missed the target, but after she said this, she became a favor to everyone and saved my face!

Zhu Hengjia got down the donkey and said loudly: "At this time when all kinds of beasts are multiplying, I really can't bear to kill. I don't want to shoot anymore. I'll just have some fun." However, the birds and beasts in Nanhaizi escaped unharmed.

I like Erdenibemba more and more in my heart.

This virtuous concubine is not only beautiful, she is also knowledgeable, courteous and educated. Really, she is very educated!

Once, Zhu Hengjia recited a poem: "The clouds and temples are blooming with golden steps," and she opened her mouth and continued the second half of the sentence: "The hibiscus tent warms the spring night."

Another time, I was tired and low on energy. She actually wrote the first couplet: "Although a silver gun is sharp, it can't break through the thousand-year-old grass." Fortunately, I drank a bowl of deer blood wine, and Xiongjiujiu answered the second couplet: "Lights of light."

"This little thing can burn thousands of miles of mountains and rivers", otherwise she would really have made fun of her.

The person I love is both beautiful and charming, how can I not like him?

"Gongsun Guijun of Guangdong reported that our navy has captured Tongzhou and killed Zhou Lianggong, the prefect of the Qing Dynasty."

While we were having a good time, a military report came from the front.

Zhu Hengjia laughed loudly after reading the military report, "Send an order to the entire army to set up camp thirty miles outside the south city of Beijing. If the Qing captives refuse to surrender, they will be killed without leaving any trace of them!"

??

In the Cining Palace in Beijing, brothers and sisters are at war with each other.

Prince Zhuoli Ketu of the Qing Dynasty and Wu Keshan, the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, went straight in and said, "Sister, the Ming army is approaching the city, and the main force of the Qing Dynasty has been lost, so it is better to submit. Surrender early than surrender late!"

"Why, my brother has forgotten the kindness of the Qing Dynasty to Horqin and the in-laws who share honor and disgrace, and turned his back on the Qing Dynasty?"

Opposite Wu Keshan, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng of the Qing Dynasty had a sharp tone and aggressive momentum.

However, Wu Keshan knew that her younger sister was a woman and was by no means an impulsive person. The reason why she took this stance was just to gain the initiative in the subsequent negotiations. She was just sarcastic and did not refuse directly, so the matter was resolved.

We have something to talk about.

"Alas! I have no choice. The Ming army has strong soldiers and horses, and the Qing Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been defeated. How about me, Horqin? Now the Ming Dynasty's millions of soldiers are about to attack the city. Emperor Guangwu has issued a message, if you dare to resist,

After the city is broken, all the Aixinjueluo clan will be slaughtered. Where to go, my sister will make an idea." Wu Keshan was sighing on the surface, but in fact he was making a naked threat.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was frightened in her heart, but she showed no fear on her face: "Then Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty once sent someone to bring a message to my son, saying that if you surrender early, you can become a rich man. How can I, the great Qing Emperor, return to the Ming Dynasty?

You don’t even have a title in the end?”

There's a way! When it comes to titles, everything is easy to discuss.

Wu Keshan was overjoyed and took care of everything, "My sister is right, my nephew has submitted as a majestic king of a country, so he must have a title. I will report back to Your Majesty and ask for a title for Fulin!"



After saying this, she left happily. The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was left with a bitter heart. My son, the king of a country, actually wanted to beg for a title from the enemy! The Qing Dynasty fell to this point, how sorry it is for its ancestors!

Just as he was lamenting, Emperor Shunzhi came angrily, "Emperor Eni, do you really want me to surrender to the false Ming Dynasty?"

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng cried: "Does the emperor think that these old and weak soldiers in the city can defeat the more than 100,000 elite Ming troops outside the city? Why let the people die in vain when they know that there is no way to save the day? The false emperor has already said: If

If he refuses to surrender, he will slaughter all the Aixinjueluo family. Does the emperor want the Aixinjueluo family to be extinct?"

Emperor Shunzhi said silently, "I am unfilial and I have made Emperor Enie sad." After saying this, he staggered back to Qianqing Palace like a zombie, as if he had been sucked dry by a demon.

??

Zhu Hengjia pondered after hearing Wu Keshan report to him the Qing court's attitude or the bottom line: to be ennobled.

In his original intention, he did not want to confer a title on Emperor Shunzhi, but according to Wu Keshan's wishes, the Qing captives would never surrender without a title. If you think about it carefully, this is also the reason. Over the years, the two sides have fought bloody battles, and they have already forged a deep hatred.

, the Manchus were afraid of retaliation from the Han people after surrendering. Whether to grant Emperor Shunzhi a title was actually a test. If not or if the title is low, there is a high possibility of retaliation after surrender, and naturally they would not dare to surrender; on the contrary, if

A high seal would be a reassurance for the Manchurian dignitaries, and surrender would be a matter of course.

Zhu Hengjia is over sixty years old and is already a mature politician. There is no grudges in the eyes of politicians, only interests. Since the title can eliminate the remaining power of the Qing court without bloodshed, then he should be granted the title. Not only the title, but also the title

Create a high title.

King? No, this is too high. How can it be worthy of the countless loyal souls who died in bloody battles with the Qing Dynasty?

After thinking about it, I decided to make myself a Duke.

Although he was forced to make Emperor Shunzhi a Duke, Zhu Hengjia still felt angry and decided to give him a disgusting title: Duke of Submission. That means you must always be deferential to the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about the title, Zhu Hengjia suddenly sneered. As long as Xiao Shunzhi surrenders, he is not a piece of meat on my chopping board. I can cut it whenever I want.

After figuring this out, Emperor Guangwu happily asked Wu Keshan to persuade him to surrender. At the same time, in order to put pressure on the Qing government, he ordered the land division to set up a fort outside the south city, and the navy to shell the east wall along the canal.

Wu Keshan was overjoyed after hearing Zhu Hengjia's decision. On the one hand, he was happy that he could explain it to his sister and nephew; on the other hand, he was secretly happy because his title was higher than that of his nephew. Relatives all like to compare. I am the prince and you are the duke.

I am better than you, hehehe!

He came to Cining Palace again and made a good deal to the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng as soon as they met, "Sister, I tried my best to persuade you, but finally I got your Majesty's answer: Fulin was granted the title of Gong Shun Gong, and his fiefdom was in Yangzhou, the richest in the world.

"land".

Fulin was sealed to Yangzhou because the Ten Days of Yangzhou happened here, and the local people hated the Manchus. When Fulin was sealed there, no one responded even if Fulin wanted to rebel.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng sighed, was silent for a long time, and then said: "In this case, my mother and son are willing to surrender. After surrender, the lives of the Aixinjueluo family will all depend on my brother!"

Wu Keshan blushed with rare embarrassment: "Don't worry, sister, I will ensure that my sister and nephew are safe and sound!"
