Jiang Yan hesitated for a while and asked his personal soldiers to release the Qing envoy into the city, leading him to the general's mansion.

The envoy held the order of the Regent Dorgon and the Qing Dynasty War Department as evidenced by the envoy. After Jiang Guan ordered someone to check it, he personally checked the order issued by Dorgon.

"The general of Datong, Jiang Yan, was loyal to the country, captured and killed fake generals, pacified Datong, Yanghe and other achievements, and was very pleased. However, he established Zaoqiang to take charge of national affairs and used the words of "Shangxianshengsheng" and "I feel it is not appropriate. The Zaoqiang king can keep his original title..."

In the order, Dorgon affirmed Jiang Yan's achievements in killing the thief, but also pointed out that it was inappropriate to establish the Ming royal family, King Zao Qiang, to take charge of state affairs, and his tone seemed to be the lord of Shenzhou.

It turned out that after Jiang Yan, in order to win the support of the people, Zhu Dingshan, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, was the leader.

Logically speaking, this Zaoqiang King was just a puppet and had no power at all. However, Dorgon's reaction was extremely strong and directly warned Jiang Yan in the form of a decree.

If Jiang Yan had a little fantasy before, now he can be sure that the Qing court did have the will to compete for the Central Plains.

So what should he do?

Before this, he had already supported the Ming royal family as a puppet and showed his tendency to surrender to the Ming court. At this time, the regent of the Qing court surrendered him, where should we go?

Fortunately, the envoy did not mean to force Jiang Guan to express his opinion immediately, and said lightly: "Jiang Zhengrong, please consider it for a few days. The regent's meaning is very clear. As long as Jiang Zhengrong can surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the court will not be stingy."

This statement made Jiang Yan feel itchy.

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for food and clothing.

Who is not to give? Since the Qing court can promise high officials and generous salaries, it is indeed a good choice.

But now the Qing court has not shown its absolute power to unify the world. Is it too early to surrender at this time?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan hesitated again and coughed, "It's really hard for you to work hard all the way. Come on, please take the entourage to have a good rest."

After sending the envoy from the Qing court, Jiang Guan sighed and said, "Do you think what should you do?"

"Master, for the sake of the present, it is better to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"

The person who spoke was Sun Yingwu, a powerful general under Jiang Qin.

He clasped his fists and said, "I heard that Wu Weihua, the younger brother of the Gongsun Hou, had come to recruit Shanxi under the order of the regent of the Qing court, and brought thousands of troops. In addition, Ye Chen, Gushan, had also gathered troops to prepare to advance to Shanxi. The regent ordered the commander to be polite first and then soldiers. If the commander did not obey, I am afraid that the first person the Qing army would fight was Datong."

Jiang Yan's expression couldn't help but become solemn. Sun Yingwu's words were still very reasonable. Now the Qing court is moving frequently on the border of Shanxi, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that a war is inevitable.

Datong is not only a major border town, but also only 700 miles away from the capital. If Dorgon did not take over Datong, he would be unable to sleep or eat.

If the thousands of green camp troops led by Wu Weihua did not have much deterrence, the Manchurian Red Flag Division led by Ye Chen was frightened.

If you really want to fight, Jiang Yan doesn't think he can stay for long.

What's more, now that he has been in a good position, if he offended the Qing court again, it would be like he was sandwiched between the two sides and was beaten.

But Jiang Yan was still unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing court did not have the absolute strength to conquer the world. If Jiang Yan failed in the end, he would have to be buried with him.

Although high officials and generous salaries are extremely tempting, their wealth, life and life are the most important.

The guy who eats nothing is gone. What's the use of asking for more money? It's not just to make wedding clothes for others.

"Master, you must not. The Eight Banners of the Qing Army are the army of tigers and wolves. If you take over Datong, will the Grand Marshal still have the position to speak?"

Jiang Yan looked around and said that it was his chief aide Xun Yi who spoke.

"Mr. Xun said it well, but if someone does not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, is there any other way?"

"The general can place bets on both ends. If the Qing court is strong, the Qing court will surrender to the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming court is strong, the Ming Dynasty will surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

Xun Yi paused every word.

Bet on both ends?

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

Yes, the situation is unclear now, why doesn’t he bet on both ends?

Dorgon was not in a hurry to send someone to take over Datong, and Jiang Yan could continue to drag it on.

Nowadays, most of Henan is under the rule of the Qing court, but western Henan is still in the hands of Li Zicheng, and southern Henan is in a power vacuum. Under such circumstances, the Qing army could not hoard all its forces along Shanxi.

If more than a dozen messengers were sent to make up a Shun army cavalry, pass through Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Pingyang, from western Henan, southern Henan to southern Henan, and express their opinions to the Southern Ming court, wouldn’t it be better to leave a way out for yourself?

As for the makeup issue, there is no need to worry about it. Jiang Yan's army changed the flag a few months ago and turned into Shunjun, but now it is just a matter of changing the Shunjun uniform. It is much easier than shaving the hair and leaving braids.

For Jiang Guan, this is a sure profit and no loss.

As long as he made the Ming court believe that the army in Datong was focused on the Ming Dynasty, the effect would be achieved.

He would also tell Dorgon the same thing through the Qing Dynasty messenger.

As for whoever he eventually turns to depends on who can take Shanxi first.

Jiang Guan felt that the possibility of the Qing court was greater. However, even if the Qing court really took Shanxi, it did not mean that it could finally conquer the world.

Jiang Yan felt that with the prosperity of several southern provinces, the Ming court would sooner or later recover Shanxi, Hebei, and revive Shenjing.

At that time, Jiang Yan could have claimed that he had just been vain and slandering the Qing court before, and when the time was right, he would turn against the Qing Dynasty and support the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it was particularly important to send people to Nanjing to express his loyalty to the emperor in advance.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan ordered loudly: "After a certain intention, I will do what Mr. Xun said. Please ask Mr. Xun to capture the knife for writing this letter."

Xun Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed: "Abide by Dongweng's order."

......

......

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Dorgon was furious after hearing the news of Luobahana and Shi Tingzhu's defeat.

He could not understand why more than 5,000 flag soldiers could not even take down a Dezhou city.

According to the two slaves Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou, isn’t Texas even unable to get 500 soldiers?

"Prince, please calm down. I feel that something is wrong with this matter. You can wait until the two of them lead their troops back to Beijing to question it carefully."

Fan Wencheng, who was standing beside him, said slowly.

Dorgon raised his eyes and cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fan thinks there is a fraud?"

"Reporting to the prince, I feel that it is probably because the Ming court has stationed troops in Shandong."

hiss!

Dorgon gasped when he heard this.

"How is this possible? The Ming court still has extra troops to send Shandong?"

Dorgon felt it was incredible.

"If this is true, why didn't these people lead their troops to serve the king when Li Zicheng led his troops to attack Beijing?"

"One time and another time."

Fan Wencheng Youyou said.
