In this battle, both sides suffered similar casualties, but Huang Taiji failed to achieve his goal of making the enemy fearful. After a group of Ming soldiers who were first brothers on the battlefield actually killed people, they became real soldiers and took the first step towards becoming a real warrior.

In the large formation on the opposite side, a yellow umbrella came out from behind the formation, and then an envoy with a white flag, riding a war horse, walked carefree towards the Ming Dynasty's position.

In this era, the white flag does not represent surrender, but only represents his status as a negotiating envoy. White symbolizes no distinction between left and right.

The Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, and it adhered to the etiquette of not killing envoys when the two armies were fighting.

All the soldiers put away their muskets, placed their muskets tightly against their sides, straightened their chests, and stared at the enemy's envoy.

The visitor came closer, observed carefully, and then saw the tall fat man. He was sure that he was the commander of the army, and then he raised his hands to the little fat man and said, "You and I are both pawns. I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Please meet the Ming Emperor and allow me to guarantee the safety of both emperors."

This was a big deal, and the little fat man had no right to refuse or agree, so he replied: "Wait a moment, I will report to our Majesty, and then I will reply to you."

The gunshots outside did not affect Emperor Tianqi's mood.

The current place where Tianqi holds meetings is the remaining palace of the original Yuan Dynasty emperor. Although it is dilapidated, it still cannot conceal its luxurious style. After Tianqi brought people in, the craftsmen immediately carried out renovations as much as possible. Although it is still dilapidated,

, but barely liveable.

He was taking the time to discuss the upcoming alliance with them in front of the ministers, finalizing details one after another.

Although this kind of performance was somewhat artificial, the calmness and calmness he showed still stabilized the trembling legs of those ministers.

While they were talking, there were loud footsteps outside the lobby. Tianqi put down the documents in his hands, smiled and said relaxedly to the ministers around him: "The one who can move the ground with his footsteps must be my fat little general who has fought a hundred battles. We

Let’s put down the business first and listen to his story.”

The little fat man strode in and bowed to Tianqi.

"How's it going? It's just our first battle, what's the situation between us and the enemy?" Tianqi asked casually.

"Just now it was just a show off from the enemy. They took out the white and red armor from the Eight Banners and the vulture shooters from the Mongols, a total of one thousand."

Tianqi chuckled: "You think highly of us. This can be regarded as an elite effort. So what's the result?"

The little fat man answered truthfully: "In a battle, both sides suffered about equal casualties, and the enemy retreated."

Tianqi excitedly said to the officials around him: "Not bad, the enemy's elite came out, we killed them evenly and made the enemy retreat despite the difficulties. This is enough to show that each of our soldiers is the elite among the elite."

I have 50,000 elites, why are I afraid that I won't be able to defeat Huang Taiji?" Then he smiled easily: "But little fat man, remember, you can't really scare Huang Taiji away. You have to take it easy, or else I will.

The big plan will not be realized."

The emperor is full of confidence, and his ministers feel more at ease. The emperor is not afraid of death, so what do people like him have to fear?

"Your Majesty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent an envoy to request your Majesty to see Huang Taiji."

"Send me a letter of surrender? Haha, that's not Huang Taiji. But I have been fighting with him for ten years, but I have never met him or sat down to have a good chat." Then he stood up and said relaxedly: "Okay,

Then I will go and talk to him."

Of course, the ministers wanted to stop them, but Tianqi said coolly: "You are a guest when you come, and they ask to see you. How can I, the master, refuse? We are a country of etiquette, and we cannot treat guests from afar lightly. If it were not for the two armies in front of

, I should also entertain you with wine and food." Then he solemnly said: "The most important thing is that I am a high-ranking country, how can I be timid in front of the barbarians? This is not good for the morale of the army."

This is the key. In this heavy siege, morale is the first priority. In order to boost morale, we must not hesitate to take risks.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, the ministers had no choice but to work hard on protection. So they put on a set of plate armor on the inside and the imperial gold armor on the outside. With such protection, only cannons could hurt him.

Okay. In this way, the emperor will appear even more fat and powerful. Then the emperor is asked to stand on a low fortification, surrounded by mighty warriors, who can shield the emperor's bows and arrows at any time.

It was like facing a formidable enemy here, but a war horse slowly walked out from the opposite side. Sitting on the war horse with a carefree look was a strong but elegant man in his thirties. He was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, indicating that this man dared to cross the formation alone.

The person who came out was Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who had caused headaches to the Ming Dynasty for so many years.

Seeing Huang Taiji's behavior, Tianqi couldn't help but blush. The two of them were only thirteen years apart, but they ended up being very different in terms of momentum. It seemed that Huang Taiji was really a tyrant.

Tianqi waved his hand behind him: "Please withdraw, all the guards. Remember, you are not allowed to plot against each other."

The guards looked at the little fat man. The little fat man also believed that he could not lose to the opponent in terms of momentum. It was about the face of the Celestial Empire, and the Han people were the most important. At the same time, Huang Taiji was stopped two hundred steps away, and the muskets were out of reach.

Yes, even if we shoot Huang Taiji dead now, it would be better to capture him upright in the future. Only in that way can the people of the world return to their hearts, and the people of Liaodong who will regain their hearts in the future return to their hearts.

The noon sun, with the last warmth of late autumn, splashed on the two people. In the slight autumn wind, the two people could not help but tilt their heads to look at the high, unique sun, and then faced each other.

: "Huang Taiji (Zhu Youxiao)?"

"It's me."

It's impossible for two people to always talk together like this. The elder comes first. Tianqi made a gesture of invitation to Huang Taiji.

"Ever since our Qing Dynasty launched its army against the Seven Great Hatreds——"

I was talking to you, but I didn’t want to hear you talk about the seven hundred years of millet and eight hundred years of chaff, so Tianqi interrupted the long speech prepared by Huang Taiji: "The past is in the past, and there are merits and demerits of their own.

Later generations commented that it is rare for you and me to meet each other now, so let’s talk about it now.”

Huang Taiji praised: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really cheerful. Since we want to start from the present, let's talk about the present. You and I have been at war for more than ten years. The wars have caused great harm to the lives of the people. It is difficult to have peace in the world. The Ming Dynasty has always oppressed our country.

The aggression is endless. I, the Qing Dynasty, have always sought to peacefully solve problems and resolve the original disputes and hatreds peacefully, but I have always been rejected by you and others. There is really no way. As a last resort, I have to come to your Ming Empire in person.

, I will talk to you face to face with my sincerity."

Tianqi smiled slightly: "Leading the army of jackals to attack cities and seize territory, burning, killing, and looting along the way. This is your sincerity, and I accept it. But the peace treaty you negotiated with me, I solemnly tell you here, I will not listen, and I will not accept it.

I will never accept it. I solemnly declare to you the creed of the Ming Empire. No marriage, no indemnity, no cession of territory, no tribute, and no humiliating treaties. The emperor will guard the country, and the king will die for the country. In the Ming Dynasty, you can only die fighting for the country.
