Chapter 2855
Seeing that the Haihan army's offensive did not weaken due to the prolongation of the battle, but became more and more violent, the Qing court's confidence in the decisive battle against Shenyang and the annihilation of the enemy under the city became weaker and weaker.Many people began to secretly think about what would happen if they lost this battle.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, was in power at this time, that is, Emperor Shunzhi.He succeeded to the throne when he was six years old, and he is only now young.Although he had been on the throne for more than ten years at the time of the Shenyang War, after the death of Huang Taiji, the regent Dorgon had been controlling the government, and the little emperor was only a ruler in name only.
When Haihan launched the Northern Expedition, he saw that Dorgon had just passed away, Prince Azige of Heshuo had attempted to rebel, civil strife broke out in the Qing court, and Shunzhi had not yet fully grasped the power.
At that time, Shunzhi was still young, his authority had not yet been established, and his influence within the Manchu Qing Dynasty was far inferior to that of Huang Taiji and Dorgon.And the banner owners who actually hold the military power will not be 100% convinced of this little emperor.
Shenyang's city defense became more and more tight, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses, so some people began to advise Shunzhi that they should preserve their strength, abandon Shenyang, and not exhaust the luck of the Qing Dynasty for a single city.
Shunzhi himself wanted to fight to the end. After all, this was the capital of the Qing Dynasty. In his opinion, giving up Shenyang was not much different from subjugation.However, the number of soldiers and horses he directly controls is actually limited. Most of the combat operations still can only rely on the armed forces of the Eight Banners. Desperately.
So at this stage, various strange phenomena began to appear in the Qing army camp.During the battle, they shirked their responsibilities, avoided the battle with excuses, and those who would not save themselves or even fell into trouble appeared frequently, which made the Qing army's combat efficiency even lower and its will to fight was greatly affected.
Some Han civil officials who took a compromise route also began to suggest to Shunzhi that since the war situation was critical, they should immediately start peace talks with Haihan in exchange for buffer time.
The fact that the Peace Talk faction is slightly better than the Abandonment faction is that they did not mention giving up Shenyang, but hoped to keep the Manchu Qing’s control over Shenyang through negotiations.As for the price to be paid for this, the peace talkers are vague and unwilling to take the initiative to mention it.
After all, in ancient and modern times, the defeated ones who wanted to obtain peace through negotiation were nothing more than passive options such as surrender, cession of land and compensation. I really want to make it too clear. The little emperor may not be willing to accept negotiation to solve the current crisis because of his face.
Shunzhi weighed it again and again, and felt that peace talks might be the most feasible solution at this time.However, in the matter of negotiation, he could not trust those Han civil officials who could only talk about it. In the end, he authorized his uncle Ji Erhalang to lead Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi and Jingnan Wang Geng Jimao, who were familiar with the situation in Haihan, to meet with them. The Haihan army outside the city started peace talks.
Haihan, who had the advantage on the battlefield, saw the other party come to his door, so it was natural that the lion opened his mouth and asked a series of conditions.
The first condition is that the Qing government must surrender unconditionally to Haihan, and immediately disband the armed forces of the Eight Banners, and stop all hostile actions against Haihan.
Secondly, the Manchu Qing had to cede to Haihan all the areas under the jurisdiction of the former Liaodong Capital of the Ming Dynasty, including the Liaohe Plain.Of course, this area also includes Shenyang City.
Finally, it is the content related to war reparations and post-war bilateral relations, which also includes the repatriation of the Han people whose origin is in the Liaodong capital area, and the opening of the trade market to Haihan.
It is difficult for the Qing government to accept one of these armistice conditions, let alone add them together.However, Haihan didn't expect the other party to agree to it outright, it was just to create more bargaining chips for the negotiation.As long as the opening of the negotiation is opened, the other party's willingness to continue to fight to the death will naturally be weakened.This time the two parties failed to reach an agreement after talking for seven days, so they went to war again.
Just like this, the fighting was on and off, and the fighting was on and off, with several negotiations interspersed in the middle, but the progress was still not satisfactory.It wasn't until the Haihan army achieved several great victories on the battlefield that they severely damaged the few units of the Qing army that still had the will to fight. The Qing internally realized that time was running out, and the only way to continue fighting was to end in the destruction of the city and the country. So they went back to the negotiating table again.
"This time Jierhalang was much more honest. Except for some details, he accepted most of the conditions we proposed. On the day the armistice agreement was signed with the Manchu Qing, I was also fortunate to be on the sidelines. I can still clearly remember the expression of eating shit!" Sun Zhen was still very excited when he talked about the situation at that time.
Chen Yixin also added: "Although the Shenyang battle was fought very hard, it finally achieved a relatively satisfactory result, and it also brought the Liaodong war that lasted for more than 20 years to a temporary end."
Bai Kesi said: "I have seen the original armistice agreement sent back to Sanya. Although Shunzhi's seal was affixed on it, the person who actually signed it was Jierhalang. This armistice agreement can be said to be a humiliation to the Qing Dynasty. Whoever signed it will bear it." Pot, presumably the days after Jierharang will not be easy."
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "Actually, since Shunzhi made Jierharang fully responsible for the negotiation, he has become a scapegoat. But there is no way. To end the war, someone must come out to take responsibility, but this The person must not be the emperor himself. Shunzhi understands this, and Jierhalang also understands it. So after the negotiation, Jierhalang resigned from all official positions and announced his retirement. Afterwards, there was very little news about him. He died of illness last year Well, he is not yet 60 years old. Shunzhi also specially ordered to suspend the court for seven days for this edict, and erected a monument for him, which shows that he is still grateful for his sacrifice."
According to the truce agreement reached by the two sides, the Qing army voluntarily withdrew from Shenyang City, where the southern defense line had been breached, while the Haihan army did not pursue it during this period.The Qing army abided by the agreement and did not destroy the houses and facilities in Shenyang City, so the buildings in the imperial city basically maintained their original style, but all kinds of gold and silver were still taken away by the Qing army.
When Chen Yixin and Sun Zhen talked about the battle situation at that time, it seemed that the Haihan Army had always had the upper hand.However, the Battle of Shenyang lasted for a hundred days. This is a unique and long siege battle in the history of Haihan military warfare, which also shows the stalemate of the battle at that time.
Although the Haihan army had the upper hand and won the final victory, the troops participating in the war also paid the price of thousands of deaths.According to the standards of the Haihan Army, it can only be regarded as a miserable victory.It's just that the domestic propaganda at that time focused on the great significance of conquering Shenyang and forcing the Manchus to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but most of them avoided the investment and losses of this battle.
