The officers and soldiers of Manzhou, who were in the second town of more than 600 cavalry, looked anxiously at the distant north, hoping that figures would appear on the horizon as soon as possible.

Zhou Peigong, the ambassador of the Second Town, was also a little anxious because this was the first major event he was suddenly assigned to the Second Town by His Highness King Qi to be transferred to the Second Town. This major event was to take over the family of the old white flag soldiers who returned to the Taiping Army from the Qing army.

On that day, after Wuerte and other soldiers of the Manzhou state surrendered, Zhou Shixiang, in addition to rewarding them, promised that as long as they defeated Shunzhi's army, they would definitely take them north to Beijing to rescue their families. However, although Shunzhi was defeated and fled, the Taiping Army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle and was unable to go north. Even Xuzhou could not be captured, let alone Beijing City, which was thousands of miles away.

Wang Fuchen truthfully reported to Zhou Shixiang that Wuerte and other Manzhou soldiers were desperate after they knew Fulin's escape. After that, Zhou Shixiang kept taking the matter of rescuing Baiqi's family. This was not because Zhou Shi really regarded these Manzhou soldiers who had been sent as their subordinates, but to appease them and let them fight to the death with their compatriots on the battlefield northward in the future. Rescuing Baiqi's family also made these families hold them in hand as hostages.

Xu Yingyuan was sent north to discuss peace, but Zhou Shixiang was not worried that Fulin would not discuss peace because he knew that Fulin needed peace more than him. If there was anything else Fulin could not let go, it was just his poor emperor's face. Just like Emperor Chongzhen of that year, after the secret peace talks with the Qing Dynasty was leaked, for the sake of the emperor's face, he pushed Chen Xinjia as a scapegoat.

Fortunately, although Fulin is younger than Chongzhen, he is more aware of the current affairs and knows what he needs most and what he doesn’t need most.

The peace talks were successful.

According to the secret armistice agreement between the Taiping Army and the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court had to hand over the Manzhou soldiers who surrendered to the Taiping Army to the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army returned the Manchu Mongolian and Han prisoners who were captured and refused to surrender. After several counts of the two sides, the Qing court had to hand over more than 8,300 Manchu families to the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army gave a list of 216 people, including a deputy chief of the Yellow Banner and two chief blue Banners.

The list of Taiping Army handed over prisoners was obviously not accepted by Fulin, because although it was claimed to the outside world that the Qing Dynasty failed in the Battle of Yangzhou, there were not many soldiers who died in the battle, and the strength of the Manchu Eight Banners was not damaged, and their vitality was still there. But in fact, the Qing army was killed in Manzhou alone, and the number of captured officers and soldiers was no less than 5,000. Therefore, Fulin thought that the Taiping Army would release at least about 2,000 Manzhou soldiers, but the other party only gave a list of 216 people, which naturally made Fulin furious and almost stopped the peace talks. In the end, he accepted this fact under the persuasion of Oboi and Sony. The situation was weaker than that of the people, which was a reality that the emperor had to swallow his anger.

The Ming and Qing dynasties discussed the peace matters secretly. The person in charge of the Taiping Army was Xu Yingyuan, and the Qing Dynasty was Oboi. Specifically for this transfer, the Qing court was responsible for the Beiletuntai, stationed in Xuzhou, and the Taiping Army was Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong, the ambassador of the Second Town.

Zhou Peigong had performed in Anqing before, but he had no chance to perform afterwards. He was just a disciple. Before surrendering to the Taiping Army, he was just a prisoner and was not considered a big shot. There are many such people in Nanjing now. However, even Zhou Peigong himself did not expect that Marshal Zhou, who had only heard of but had never seen himself, would call him a position as an important position as the ambassador of the An Army in a town.

The Ambassador of the An Army is an important position in the Taiping Army system. Although he does not directly lead the army and is responsible for military command, he is the deputy of a general in a town. He is responsible for personnel and military matters of a town. He is an absolute key position. Generally, those who can be promoted to Ambassador of the An Army are promoted from literate generals, and few people who have never brought troops directly as Ambassador of the An Army. Zhou Peigong broke this case. At that time, Shao Chengguo, the general of the second cavalry town, heard that the commander-in-chief gave him a juren ambassador of the An Army, was very surprised.

Zhou Peigong, who took office with nervousness and excitement, could be said to be a soldier who died for his confidant. He had almost broken the "Handbook of the An Army Envoy" issued by the military headquarters. The key points of the An Army Envoy listed above were almost familiar with the work points of the An Army Envoy listed above. Less than half a month after taking office, Zhou Peigong began to organize the An Army Envoy meetings of the various brigades in the town, and obtained a certain amount of funds and teachers from above, and carried out a huge literacy campaign in the second town. The results were very significant. Now the second cavalry town, the groom assistant, can recognize hundreds of words, and for this reason he was commended by the Jiangbei Army, the Jianghuai Strategic Office and the Military Commander's Office. During a military discussion, the general Zhou Shixiang also used the literacy and literacy of the second cavalry town as a typical example. The whole army was asked to learn from the second town. Shao Chengguo, who was happy to attend the meeting, could not stop smiling.

This time, the matter of transferring prisoners with the Qing army and taking back the family of Manchu soldiers was another test for Zhou Peigong to take office. If this matter was completed successfully, he, the ambassador of An Army, would obviously have gained a foothold in the second town. Therefore, the generals of Manchu soldiers were anxious, and Zhou Peigong was also anxious. However, as the ambassador of An Army, he could not expose his mentality like those below, so his face was very calm.

"Zhou Anhui, when will they arrive?"

Baihu Yue Deji once again rode his horse to Zhou Peigong. This was his fourth time coming to ask.

Zhou Peigong looked at Yue Deji, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, the time to hand over to the Qing army has not yet arrived."

"well!"

Although he knew that the answer he got was still the same as last time, Yue Deji couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Zhou Peigong smiled and said, "You are patient, you will definitely come."

"Um."

Although Yue Deji worked very hard to learn Chinese and participated in the military literacy class, he couldn't learn it. After a few months, he only recognized dozens of Chinese characters. The short Chinese language was barely able to speak, but if it was a little longer or a little more complicated, he could not speak. Even if he could speak, he was stuttering. Therefore, he wanted to ask Zhou Anzhi again, but he was also worried that he didn't know how to open his mouth and shut up.
