Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 223 Peace Talk
One day later, Liu Dapao successfully sat on the top of Jingzhou City, and wrote a letter of persuasion to the general guard in Xiangyang.

This battle was fought too easily. In just one day, Tuhai's army was defeated by him.

In fact, when Tuhai soldiers approached the city yesterday, there were more than 2 people gathered around Liu Dapao, including the navy and the army. To be honest, these soldiers were really out of control, and his reforms were fundamental. It's not quite done.

After all, although the merit of saving the car is great, but no matter how great the credit is, if everyone receives a share, it will naturally be the same as not receiving one. Besides, no one thinks that Liu Dapao will be in danger even if there are only 5000 people around him. run chant.

Everyone instinctively felt that other people would rush to the rescue, and there was no shortage of myself. I might as well take this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, such as fighting Jingzhou City, or even dare to fight Xiangyang City, where the main force has not left the city. of.

Even in the face of Liu Dapao's military order, he would try his best to avoid it, but I couldn't catch it, so you can't blame me, can you?

As a result, everyone thought so.

As a result, there were actually not many soldiers around Liu Dapao.

Liu Dapao was so angry that he cursed loudly, thinking for a while that he had been abandoned by the soldiers.

But the problem is that these Tuhai and the Qing army don't know.

Their morale was too low. After Liu Dapao took the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, he deliberately asked his soldiers to prepare more flags and spread the formation as loosely as possible. Anyway, his personal guards were all armed with flintlock guns. Scatter can give full play to the advantages of weapons.

Then, seeing this scene in the eyes of the Qing army, it is clear that the Ming army's army has returned to aid. In addition, the flintlock guns were indeed accurate, and the killing effect caused by the fight just now was indeed no less than that of the Qing army. A 7-strong army can actually overwhelm the [-]-strong Qing army.

In fact, if they can charge forward in this battle, Liu Dapao will not be able to withstand them very well. After all, the Qing army also has guns, and at least before Maxim's invention, the cavalry's angle-cutting tactics against infantry were still very difficult. There is a deterrent effect, Liu Dapao's infantry is a skirmish line, and the charge against the cavalry will only be more difficult to resist than the normal cavalry.

As a result, Tuhai ordered the whole army to crawl forward, and within a short time, some people encountered landmines buried on the ground and were killed.

Then the Eight Banners soldiers also ran away, and Liu Dapao chased them on bicycles.

There is no hand-to-hand combat at all!

Seeing this, Tu Hai knew that he was powerless, and even the entire Qing court was powerless, so frustrated, he wiped his neck and committed suicide.

Among the 1 troops he brought, except for the [-] lost along the way, almost all of the [-] Green Battalions surrendered, and the remaining [-] Banner soldiers did not dare to return to Jingzhou, and all ran in the direction of Xiangyang. , it turned out that Xiangyang City had been besieged by the Ming army.

Damn, everyone in the Ming army thought that the surprise attack on Xiangyang might be a miraculous feat. They wanted to see if there were any bargains to be made, but Liu Dapao didn’t have many reinforcements around him. Instead, more than half of the Ming army came to Xiangyang. Everyone counted, Then attack the city, just like that in Xiangyang.

The ghost knows what happened to this battle, why this decisive battle was fought in Xiangyang inexplicably.

After running for a day and a night, their morale collapsed completely. Even the Eight Banners, whose armor and weapons were thrown away, plunged into the encirclement of the Ming army, and was maimed with a bewildered and inexplicable expression.

Xiangyang's defender is also confused.

The general died, the main force was disabled, and Zhili in the rear fell. The fighting methods of the Ming army are unprecedented, and the firearms in their hands are really advanced. There are a lot of artillery. The city really couldn't give him much sense of security, and even the green battalion in the city was hard to suppress, and they might launch a mutiny at any time and simply sacrifice the city.

Everyone was in a state of bewilderment at this time.

Then, at this time, Liu Dapao's letter of persuasion arrived.

Strictly speaking, this was indeed a seriously unequal war from beginning to end, a war between a primary industrial country and an agricultural country, but that industrial country was the one that really won the hearts of the people.

Every Qing army, at this time, has almost no other emotions in his mind except despair, and the so-called destruction is nothing more than that.

What happened next was all negotiations instead. After Liu Dapao guaranteed that every Eight Banners soldier would leave their names and even send them home, Xiangyang City simply chose to surrender.

At this point, the battle on the Jingxiang battlefield was over, and the whole process took a total of more than three months.

On the other side of the southeast battlefield, Mu Zhan and Zeng Yangxing, who have always been known for their bravery, fought extremely strangely. After learning that Liu Dapao had accepted the surrender of Xiangyang City, he simply sat down in his isolated city honestly, and Every once in a while, I find local wealthy businessmen for dinner, write letters to Zeng Yangxing to reminisce about the old days, and so on.

The meaning revealed in the words is clearly a feeling of surrender, in short, it is very ambiguous.

As for the direction of the capital, Yue Le finally rushed back to the capital as the only support army, and when he learned that neither Tuhai nor Mu Zhan had sent reinforcements back, and even snatched the command of the rear bases of Yuncheng and Yanzhou respectively, he immediately Already sighed in despair.

After that, they never mentioned the matter of counterattacking Tianjin, but strongly advocated the matter of negotiating peace with the Ming court.

Of course, the proposal of this peace negotiation was opposed by the officials, and Kangxi completely broke his face with him, but Yue Le went his own way, obviously, he no longer took Kangxi seriously.

After all, it didn’t take long to take control of the Central Plains. Although the Manchus were Sinicized to a certain extent, their orthodoxy was not deep. Like the Yuan Dynasty, they could work together in good times, but once the situation was reversed, it was even the most basic. All of us can't do it together.

Under Yue Le's insistence, more and more Manchu nobles are also thinking about the possibility of negotiating peace with the Ming court. Although the battle has reached this point, it is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact it is not much different from a disguised surrender. difference.

And when Tuhai had already lost a lot in the Jingxiang battlefield in just three months, even worse than Labu, Yue Le's proposition completely gained the upper hand in the court.

It's just a matter of course, abdicate, can Liu Dapao let them go?

Can the Ming court and thousands of Han people let them go?
Half a month later, Yue Le's envoy met Liu Dapao, and Liu Dapao agreed to the peace talks very simply, inviting Yue Le to come to Xiangyang to negotiate with him.

This military battle, so far, is almost done, and the next battle will be political.

But, how should he deal with the Manchu-Han relationship in this new era?

It's a big head just thinking about it.
