There is no room for compromise in negotiations like this.

None of the officials involved in the negotiations dared to have any omissions, and no one dared to give up the results of the soldiers on both sides' lives to fight with their lives.

This is also a battlefield, not a sword, but a lips and tongue.

It's not blood, it's saliva.

But its intensity is definitely not inferior to the battlefield.

Five days, this difficult negotiation lasted for five days and finally came to an end.

June 23rd, everything is not appropriate.

Wu Zheng ignored everyone's opposition and insisted on formally signing the armistice treaty on this day.

If you can't deal with you, you will be disgusted to death.

Wu Zheng used a small and almost scoundrel-like slutty boy to vent his dissatisfaction with Dorgon.

Because Dorgon used only one move to resolve all Wu Zheng's offensive - money, and two lives were killed.

Wu Zheng was unable to fight back, could not fight back, and dared not fight back!

The treaty was finally signed by Huang Daozhou and Wakda on behalf of both sides, and then exchanged, and sent back to the capital for seals.

The last terms of the negotiation were the important ones: the two sides used the armistice area as the boundary and traded between the north and the south, and did not restrict normal trade. The Qing court recognized the Ming army's occupation of Jiangdu, Taizhou, and Rugao, but the Ming army's troops in Jiangbei must not exceed 10,000. The Qing royal clan personnel such as Kaerchuhun and Shangshan returned all at the price agreed by the two sides. The remnants of Nikan outside the Dasheng Pass were allowed to cross the river and return within three days. The captives of both sides exchanged equal amounts, and the rest would be disposed of by the other party themselves, etc.

In this battle, there was almost no victory or defeat, and the two sides invested a total of more than 400,000 troops.

On the Yixingchao side, there were 120,000 Jingwei, 12,000 Jianyangwei, 16,000 Navy, and even the imperial guards. In addition, Wu Zheng's command, the three guards of Hangzhou, Jinshan, Lihai, Jiang Quanyi's troops and Fang Guoan's new military academy, there were about 200,000 troops, which was almost the limit that the Yixingchao could invest in troops.

On the Qing army, Nikan was in Yizhen, Jiangpu's 120,000 troops, Karkhun was in the front line of Taizhou to Tongzhou, and with the 60,000 troops Dorgon mobilized from Xuzhou in the later period and his cavalry, the number was more than 240,000. Similarly, this was the limit that the Qing court could gather troops along the coast.

This was originally a "integrity" battle, but in the end it almost lost control and turned into a decisive battle. When both sides were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, they chose to cease the war and negotiate peace.

The Yixing Dynasty had 120,000 Beijing Guards, with 60% casualties, and more than 50% casualties in Jianyang Guards. The navy was wiped out and a duke was killed.

On the Qing army, the casualties were no less than those of Yixingchao. Kaer Chuhun's troops were defeated by Lu territory and Chi Erhan. Kaer Chuhun and Shang Shan were captured. Although there were not many casualties and injuries in their troops, there were more than 10,000 prisoners alone. The rest were scattered in the wild, and most of them fled north of Yancheng. It is said that when the shelter and reorganization were finally completed in Xuzhou, there were only less than 20,000 people.

Nikan had 40,000 attacking troops in Yizhen's direction, and this army was completely wiped out. At that time, Wu Zheng led 3,000 musketeers and brought Zhenjiang and Dantu defenders to form a "mixed army" to attack more than 20,000 Beijing guards stationed east of Xuanwu Gate at that time. Except for a small number of people jumped into the river to escape, the rest of the undead were captured.

The 80,000 troops in the Jiangpu direction led by Nikan himself were actually not particularly large, because before Chen Sheng led Li Haiwei to Yingtian Prefecture, the Qing army controlled the rhythm of the battle, and the wounded soldiers generated during the siege were almost completely withdrawn from the other side of the river.

So, it sounds like this army was crippled, but in fact, the total number of those who died and were captured is no more than 40%.

There were many prisoners on both sides, but in comparison, because the main battlefield was on the south bank, the Qing army was more captured.

After the exchange, Yixing came to the front of the country, more than 30,000 prisoners were added.

Although the three guards suffered more than 30% of the casualties, they did get a lot of benefits. First, Wu Zheng was not so generous in Jiangdu, Taizhou, Rugao and the south, so naturally he would not hand it over to Yixing Dynasty. Second, the huge redemption money of Kaerchuhun, Shangshan and others. Although the court was also coveting this wealth, at least no one dared to propose it to Wu Zheng in person. Third, the more than 30,000 prisoners hated by Yixing Dynasty, Yixingchao had no place to raise the pensions of the casualties at this time, so how could he have the heart to take care of the more than 30,000 mouths? So, after taking advantage of Wu Zheng, these prisoners were immediately deported to Wusong New City by Wu Zheng's order.

....

The second siege of the capital, which lasted twenty-two days, ended.

The next day, Wu Zheng returned to Yingtian Prefecture with the negotiating officials.

When I arrived in the capital, the first thing I dealt with was the money house fraud case.

After several negotiations with Mo Zhinian and other major shareholders of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the merger and acquisition plan was finally determined.

The more than 21 million taels of deficits involved in the case were divided into three parts.

The imperial court sold the money house to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce with the Ministry of Revenue as a price, which is more than 7 million taels. In other words, the imperial court no longer has any rights and interests in the money house.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce also distributed more than 7 million taels of interest-free payment to the court, with a term of eight years. The court's annual taxes were used as collateral. The principal was repaid year by year from the third year of borrowing and all of them were paid off in the tenth year.

However, the merger and acquisition plan cannot be officially implemented because the third one is still missing.

Mo Zhinian came to Wu Zheng, handed over a list, and remained silent.

Wu Zheng looked at the names on the list and smiled bitterly: "Old Mo, you really know how to cause trouble for me!"

The ones listed in this list are more than a dozen royal families, especially the first few, who are all princes.

Wu Zheng pointed to the list and frowned and asked, "This Qin King Zhu Cunbu has no power or soldiers in his hands. He is just a bag of wine and food. He is also involved in this case?"

The last Qin King was originally Zhu Cunji, the third son of Zhu Yi-Yanshu. After Zhu Cunji and Emperor Hongguang were executed by the Qing court at the same time, Zhu Cunji's second son escaped and came to Yingtian Prefecture, where he was enthroned by Zhu Cilang.

Mo Zhinian replied calmly: "In Song Zhengyu's silver account book, the King of Qin has 10% of his shares."

Wu Zheng was stunned, then pointed to another name and asked, "But this King of Fu Zhu Lianbi, who is only seven or eight years old, can he be involved in this case?"

"Return to the prince, in the account book of the Ministry of Revenue, Qian Qianyi gave 160,000 taels of silver to King Fu."

Wu Zheng pointed to another name and asked, "Where is King Jing Zhu Cihuang?"

"King Jing has more shares in the silver account, which is 15%."

Wu Zheng stopped asking and threw the list on the table, "I won't look at it anymore, just say, how many royal family members are there on this list?"

"The prince, five princes, eleven princes, and more than twenty relatives of the rest. The capital officials accounted for more. Anyone who was greedy for less than a thousand taels was not on the list."
