Qianlong was really angry now.
This Zhu Daohua is so hateful.
Even if he really wants to plunder the Jiangnan mansions.
You can't just let the whole world know about it.
How would people evaluate Aixinjueluo Hongli now?
tyrant?
A foolish and ignorant king?
I don’t want the face of old man Shiquan anymore.
hateful.
How abominable! !
Qianlong was so angry that his internal injuries were almost coming out.
The ministers around him looked worried, and there was still some vague expectation in their hearts.
In fact, Qianlong did not retreat immediately while staying in Yangzhou.
In fact, it’s also a matter of face.
He just lost the battle and then left in despair.
Face can no longer be saved at all.
in other words.
The Qing army now lacks a step down from top to bottom.
Well...if Emperor Qianlong was pissed to death.
Isn’t there a staircase right now?
The emperor died and the army had no choice but to retreat north.
How pleasant it sounds.
Moreover, Qianlong suffered such a big defeat.
He must be responsible. When he returns to the capital, he has to think of ways to improve his prestige, fearing that a few important ministers will take the blame.
But if he is angry to death now, then those important ministers who may take the blame will become ministers who care about life. Can he go further?
Unfortunately.
Qianlong seemed to be in pretty good health.
Although he was angry, he didn't seem to be angry to death.
It is now 1791 AD, and the historical Qianlong can still be active for another nine years...
It seems that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the end of his life.
So now the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty could only find ways to reduce the impact of defeat as much as possible.
First of all, looting is definitely not possible.
The first is the issue of face. If Zhu Ming didn't make this thing known to the whole world, then it would be done. But now that the Qing Dynasty has started these plunderings, all the corporals of that day will turn to the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Qing Dynasty was based on the Eight Banners.
But without the support of Han people and officials, they would not have been able to rule Han Dynasty stably for more than a hundred years.
The second is the problem of lining.
If there is a chance, the fifty thousand eight banners can be saved from the sword of the Ming army.
The Qing Dynasty will definitely be moved.
The nation of the Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners.
If the Qing Dynasty really can't survive one day, it will go back to its hometown in Manchuria.
Without a large enough population, the Eight Banners cannot be defended.
Moreover, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty must be stable and must have the support of the Eight Banners.
In addition, what made Qianlong even more angry, or fearful, was...
If the Ming army landed directly from the mouth of Haihe River.
Don't talk about cutting off water transportation.
It is even possible to attack the capital...
Although intellectually Qianlong believed that the possibility of Zhu Daohua directly attacking the capital was not great, because judging from Zhu Daohua's acting style, he was not a person who liked taking risks.
The capital city is high and deep, and there are hundreds of thousands of bannermen. The number of troops defending the city is absolutely sufficient.
Moreover, the capital is quite close to Monan and Manchuria.
If Zhu Daohua's army fails to attack, he may be surrounded by the Qing Dynasty's cavalry from the Eight Banners outside the Pass and Mongolian ministries heading south.
Here in Jiangnan, Qianlong could only support tens of thousands of cavalry at most.
But in the capital, he could mobilize hundreds of thousands of cavalry to go south.
But I have fought with the Ming army several times.
Qianlong now felt that he could not use common sense to infer Zhu Daohua and his Ming army.
If people do this, and some new weapons appear, and the capital is really occupied, then the Qing Dynasty will have nothing to do.
So Qianlong couldn't bet on this.
With the lives of tens of thousands of Eight Banners in their hands, there is also the danger of water transportation being cut off.
Qianlong could only hold his nose and huddle in Yangzhou City, not daring to act rashly. Read the full content on AiYue app
Just when Qianlong was furious.
A piece of news that made all the Qing Dynasty monarchs and ministers take a breath of cold air came from the north at full speed.
Ming warships were discovered near the mouth of Haihe River.
Dozens of Ming army gunboats appeared in Bohai Bay!
Qianlong, Heshen, Fukang'an, Helin, Hailancha, Agui and others were stunned by this news, and even a little at a loss.
If Zhu Daohua's previous threats were only verbal.
So now when the Ming army's gunboats really appear in the Bohai Bay.
Their scalps suddenly became numb.
To know.
Their families and wealth are all within the capital.
Even if the capital is besieged, it is difficult to predict what will happen in various places in the Central Plains.
When the Qing army was defeated in the south and the capital in the north was surrounded.
It is difficult to say whether the Han gentry in the Central Plains, Huainan and other places will still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
"Your Majesty...this matter is no small matter. If water transportation is cut off, millions of people in the capital will have no food supply..." Fukang'an whispered from the side.
"Will Zhu Daohua attack the capital?" Qianlong slowly sat back on his seat, his face changed slightly, but he finally suppressed the fear in his heart.
"Not necessarily, but... the Qing Dynasty cannot afford to gamble." Fukang'an said, "After the defeat in northern Jiangxi, almost all the Baoyi army was destroyed. Except for a few who fled back to Jiangning, the rest were either killed or killed in battle. Captured. The same is true for the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp. Now the only remaining army that can be used to fight is the Eight Banners..."
"Only the Eight Banners are left, and the Eight Banners can't be used to fight." Qianlong murmured.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that the reason why Ni Ming made such a big splash, posted notices, and threatened the Qing Dynasty... is just to get the Emperor to negotiate with him!"
At this moment, Liu Yong came out of the queue, knelt on the ground and said with a bowed body.
"Negotiation? Are you forcing me to sue for peace?"
Qianlong snorted coldly.
"Whether it's negotiating or asking for peace, at least it means one thing... Ni Ming doesn't want to fight for the time being. They have eaten up too much territory in one go, and they want to digest it and rectify it."
"When the reorganization is completed, it will be time for the army to go north and conquer the Central Plains." Qianlong's face became even more ugly.
"Your Majesty, it has been easy to conquer a country since ancient times, but it is difficult to defend a country. In the Ming Dynasty, before Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was overwhelming and unstoppable. However, within a month after he captured the capital, it was in disgrace. It can be said that the soldiers did not want to fight. Enjoy your comfort zone." Liu Yong straightened up slightly and said.
"You mean, after Zhu Daohua gets Jiangnan, his heroic spirit will be wiped out by this weak Jiangnan?" Qianlong asked.
"This may not be the case, and Wei Chen cannot guarantee it. But this is an opportunity after all." Liu Yong raised his head and bravely looked at Qianlong, "This will give the Qing Dynasty time to regroup!"
The Qing Dynasty really needed to regroup.
All the ministers looked at Qianlong.
Qianlong stood up, turned his back to the ministers, and stared at the picture of residence in Fuchun Mountain on the wall behind him.
This is his favorite painting.
He has stamped more than sixty personal stamps on it.
Every time he visited the south of the Yangtze River before, he would bring this painting with him.
But now, looking at this beautiful river and mountains, there is no taste at all.
After a long time.
Qianlong turned around.
"So, what does Zhu Daohua want?"
"He wants Jiangnan..." Liu Yong looked at Qianlong, "and fame."
"Then what can I get?"
"time."
time? Do you really have time?
Qianlong raised his hand and looked at his thin arm.
"Zhu Daohua is...only twenty-seven this year?"
he said suddenly.
The ministers did not reply, and Liu Yong lowered his head again.
"That's all, that's all. It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, but..." Qianlong turned around, "This is just a negotiation, not asking for peace, let alone admitting defeat! There can be no negotiations involving the relationship between the two parties between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, only about the relationship between the two parties. ...The aftermath of this battle.”
What if Zhu Daohua forced me to become an emperor?
Let's have a brother from the north and a brother from the south, Yangzhou Alliance or something.
I am over 70 years old. Is it inappropriate to hold my nose and treat others as my son?
Liu Yong sighed in his heart.
What time has it been?
Still thinking about face.
If it could maintain peace between the north and the south for a hundred years by giving millions of coins every year like the Song Dynasty did, that would really be a dream for the Qing Dynasty.
After all, the Qing Dynasty can still last another hundred years, right?
It has been one hundred and forty-seven years since entering the customs, and in another hundred years it will be two hundred and forty-seven years.
There are really not many dynasties that have lasted for more than two hundred years.
The Qing Dynasty brought foreign tribes to China, and the country was able to last for more than two hundred years.
What more bikes do you want?
Now if you want to be Zhu Daohua's son, there is a high probability that they won't want you.
Since ancient times, the key to conquering the world has been to work together, especially in a situation like this where the North and the South are in confrontation.
It’s been a long time.
The peace factions within both sides will raise their heads - after all, the risk of war is too high. How many of those high-ranking officials and nobles who have enjoyed wealth are willing to risk it?
therefore.
Zhu Daohua is definitely brewing and preparing for the second war. He will launch the Northern Expedition in two or three years at most.
There is no way he would give the Qing Dynasty too much time.
The Qing Dynasty's time is really running out.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers heard that Qianlong was ready to admit defeat. Although he did not admit defeat verbally, he took the initiative to send people south to negotiate. This was a gesture of admitting defeat.
Moreover, the bargaining chip that the Qing Dynasty had now made all the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, especially those Han loyal ministers, feel sad - it actually promised not to plunder the people.
How ridiculous.
But now no one dares to laugh.
After all, the knife that Mr. Qianlong had on hand was quite sharp. He couldn't cut the Ming Dynasty, but he could cut the heads of these scholar-bureaucrats very quickly.
The turmoil caused by the Literary Prison still kept those Confucian scholars and officials silent.
Qianlong waved his hand, stared at Liu Yong and said: "Liu Chongru, you, the Liu family of Zhucheng, have been in the Qing Dynasty since your great-grandfather Liu Bixian, your grandfather Liu Qi served as the magistrate of Ningqiang in Shaanxi, Tongzhi of Ningxia Middle Road, Tongzhi of Changsha, deputy envoy of Tianjin Road, and Jiangxi The envoy to the inspection and the chief envoy to Sichuan."
"Your father, Liu Tongxun, has served as a shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, minister of the Ministry of Rites, right minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, left minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, censor of the Zuo Du, minister of the Ministry of Works, minister of the Ministry of Punishment, minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and bachelor of Dongge University. The chief master of the study, the president of the National History Museum, the president of the "Sikuquanshu", plus the prince's Taifu and the prince's Taibao. They are my heroes!"
"As for you Liu Yong, you are also a very popular minister. You, the Liu family, have been ministers of the Qing Dynasty for four generations, and you are the most loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty!"
Liu Yong hurriedly prostrated himself: "Mr. Liu dare not forget the grace of the Qing Dynasty."
Qianlong nodded slightly: "In that case, I will let you, Liu Yong, lead the people to negotiate southward."
Liu Yong trembled all over.
As a Hanchen, I came into contact with the Emperor of Heaven...
Even if they go south to negotiate.
In the future, I'm afraid...it will also be the key to others' attacks, and it will be easy for the suspicious Emperor Qianlong to become suspicious.
This is really not a good job - Liu Yong originally thought that Qianlong would send the Manchus south.
I sighed in my heart.
You cannot disobey your orders.
"I accept the decree!"
Liu Yong said loudly.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
