    (ps: It¡¯s December, please ask for a monthly pass for December. In addition, let¡¯s explain tomorrow¡¯s update. Tomorrow, Pure Wolf has a friend and old classmate who is engaged, so I have to accompany him on a trip to drink with his natal family  Fighting wine, so tomorrow's update, Pure Wolf, can only say its best. If you really can't make it out, please forgive me, it's really hard to refuse.)

    In the fourth armistice negotiation, Ye Bilong, the Qing negotiator and imperial envoy who had no bargaining chips in his hand, refused to agree to Wu Jun's harsh conditions.  I can't be the master of Tuhai and Yue Le, and I can't represent them agreeing that the Qing army in Wuchang will lay down all their weapons and surrender to the Wu army, waiting for the silver grain and grass from the Qing court to redeem them back to Jiangbei to reunite with their families.  So there was no way, even if Ye Bilong was already tempted, considering the future of the Qing Dynasty court, he had no choice but to return to Wuchang to discuss with Tu Hai, Yue Le and others whether to accept Wu Jun's condition.

    Of course, as the last general of the Qing Dynasty¡¯s old generation, although Ye Bilong¡¯s personality is quite weak, and he is afraid of taking responsibility and even more afraid of being blamed, but Ye Bilong still has the last ray of hope in his heart, that is, the expectation and hope that a miracle will appear  The Qing army in Wuchang was able to block the Wu army in the street fighting and even severely injured the Wu army, forcing the Wu army to take the initiative to let the Qing army and the Qingqi people in Wuchang city cross the river. Although this hope is slim, it is not hopeless.  After all, the strength of the Qing army in Wuchang was as large as 60,000, and the advantage of the Wu army in terms of strength was not obvious. Moreover, it was difficult for the Wu army to fully utilize its strength in the street battlefield.

    What completely shattered Ye Bilong's hope was the chaotic state at Wuchang Wharf. When the warship that Ye Bilong and others took returned to Shuimen Wharf in the west of Wuchang, his warship could no longer berth.  It has been occupied by the overwhelming Wu army soldiers. Although the northern part is still in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army generals and soldiers on the pier and on the shore obviously have no desire to fight, and they are just desperately rushing to board the ship.  The reason why the Wu army was unable to quickly occupy all the docks was not because of the resistance of the soldiers of the Qing army, but because they were blocked by the crowd of ordinary people as dense as the tide.

    In order to get on the ship and escape as soon as possible, the generals and soldiers of the Qing army either dived into the water and swam onto the warship, or slashed and killed their companions and civilians who robbed the springboard.  Throw it upside down into the river, or push it into the river alive!  Crying and shouting for help on the pier on the river shook the heavens, the heads of people on the pier were like ants, the living and dead were floating in the river, black smoke billowed from the warships hit by Wu Jun¡¯s incendiary bombs, the chaos was like a boiling pot  rice porridge.  As for the Daqing Baylor Zhani who was in charge of commanding the garrison at Ximen Wharf, he didn't even know where he disappeared, and he didn't know whether he died in battle or had already boarded a boat and fled for his life.

    Seeing such a scene, Ye Bilong, who could barely be regarded as a good conscience, couldn't help but burst into tears, choked up, and yelled, "Tuhai, a national traitor! A national traitor! This is all caused by you, a national traitor. If you don't stop  The common people cross the river ahead of time, don¡¯t spread rumors that Wu Gou will slaughter the city after it breaks the city, will this happen? A national thief, a national thief, you deserve death!"

    The problem of the docking of the Yebilong warship was finally resolved with the help of the soldiers of the Wu army. After Zheerken held a pure white flag and took a small boat to the shore to explain the situation to the Wu army, Wu Yingjing, who was commanding the Wu army to fight on the Ximen pier, was very surprised.  He readily agreed to Ye Bilong's request, and let Ye Bilong and others take twenty entourages to land in a small boat, and sent a small team to escort Ye Bilong and others into the water gate, and let Ye Bilong and others fight against the water gate.  Bai Qi went to the inner city and the north gate to find Tu Hai, Yue Le and other Qing army commanders to discuss surrender matters.

    At this moment, the chaos in Wuchang City is worse than that of the wharf. The fleeing civilians and the warring armies blocked the streets and alleys.  Crying and crying for help came one after another, corpses were strewn everywhere on the ground, blood stained the canal red and overflowed, the houses on both sides of the street were ablaze, black smoke billowed into the sky, and old people and children cried for help from time to time in the sea of ??fire  The sound and the sound of smashing boxes and boxes, but no one rushed into the flames to save people, and no one stopped the robbery.  On the contrary, it was Tuhai's direct army that robbed, murdered, and raped the most.

    If it weren't for the desperate protection of Ye Bilong's entourage, and Zheerken and others showing the banner of imperial envoy in time, Ye Bilong would definitely never have the chance to return to the negotiating table¡ªa Qing army battalion defeated by the Wu army took a fancy to Ye Bilong.  The luxurious clothes worn by Bilong and others planned to kill Ye Bilong and others to steal the clothes.  After revealing his identity in time to stop the defeated Qing army, Ye Bilong didn't bother to pay attention to their military discipline any more, he just asked them about the whereabouts of Tuhai's Chinese army, but the defeated Qing army told Ye Bilong that they had to wait until dawn.  , They never saw Tuhai's flag and team again.He lowered his weapon and surrendered to Pingxi Palace.  Tell them, and tell the Manchu and Han people in Wuchang that the imperial envoy has already negotiated with Pingxi Wangfu. After the surrender, there will be no massacre of the city, and there will be no killing of prisoners.  The old man, guarantee them with the head of the item.  "

    In the afternoon of the fourth day of October in the 11th year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, after receiving the promise of never killing prisoners and never massacring the city from the Yunnan-Guizhou army, Ye Bilong, the grand master of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial envoy of the Armistice Negotiations and the interim coach of the Wuchang Qing army, issued an order to lead the entire army  The army and civilians of the city surrendered to the Yunnan-Guizhou army, and the Wuchang battle, which lasted for more than a month, finally ended with the Yunnan-Guizhou army winning a complete victory.

    So far, although the Yunnan-Guizhou army, which is exhausted from top to bottom, has no spare power to expand its control area, the Jinghu line of defense that Xiao Mazi used to prevent the Yunnan-Guizhou army from going north has been actually broken by the Yunnan-Guizhou army. The strategic and tactical initiative of the Jinghu battlefield has finally come.  It fell into the hands of the Yunnan-Guizhou army.  Hunan, the new rear of the Yunnan-Guizhou army, has finally won a valuable strategic buffer zone!

    In the evening of the same day, E Bilong signed his name on the armistice treaty. In exchange for the Wu army's immediate truce, the stop of the northward march and the release of prisoners of war, the Qing court promised to put Sichuan, Guangxi, Pianyuan, and Huguang Wuchang mansions under the concurrent management of the Pingxi palace.  , The military, personnel, and civil affairs are all managed by the Pingxi Palace. The Qing court only has the right to approve and appoint, and has no veto power.  At the same time, the Qing court compensated the Pingxi Palace with 30 million taels of military expenses, 5 million taels of grain and grass, and 5 million taels of ransom for the prisoners of war.

    "The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty¡ª¡ª!"

    After signing his name on the first treaty of humiliating rights and humiliating the Qing Dynasty, which was more than 20 years ahead of schedule, Ye Bilong threw down the brush, cried three times, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground fainted on the spot.

    "Poor old guy, Xiao Mazi made it clear that he was letting you take the blame, so you can ask for more blessings." After looking sympathetically at Ye Bilong who fell to the ground and passed out, Fatty Lu gritted his teeth in his heart.  He said: "Kang Mazi, just wait! In order not to let you guys sign more after a hundred years, I swear that in the future, I will let you sign more such treaties!" (To be continued.
