Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard the report, and then asked the young eunuch to bring Wang Shoulin in.
"Wang Qing, is this trip going well?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that only Wang Shoulin had returned, and his face looked worried. After he saluted, he asked worriedly.
When Wang Shoulin heard this, he bowed and said: "Thanks to your majesty, the trip of the general and Xiangcheng uncle went very smoothly. Now Dorgon has been recalled, and Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, is also willing to raise his troops to serve the king."
"Since Wang Chengyin only had more than 10,000 men, Uncle Xiangcheng felt that the troops were insufficient, and he was afraid that it would take too long to worry His Majesty, so he asked the general to come back and report first, while he rushed to Datong to persuade Jiang Yu to surrender."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt relieved, and then he said with some confusion: "Since this trip went so smoothly, Wang Qing, why do you look worried?"
Wang Shoulin hesitated for a while, then suddenly knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty, after repelling the rebels, please send your troops north to rescue the Ming people who were enslaved by the Jurchens."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Wang Shoulin was resolute by nature, so when he saw that he was so rude, he hurriedly helped him up and asked for details.
After Wang Shoulin calmed down, he slowly told the story.
It turned out that after Wang Shoulin and Li Guozhen left the city that day, they first met Bai Guangen and Tang Tong through Wu Mengming.
Due to the influence of the golden dragon in this world, Bai and Tang were very respectful to them.
However, when it came to surrendering, he always looked at the left and right and refused to express his position.
Although Li Guozhen was not good at fighting, he was good at eloquence. He immediately listed ten victories and ten defeats in an eloquent manner, and gave a bitter speech to the two men.
Bai and Tang were just warriors, and they were willing to surrender. They just wanted to take advantage of the negotiation to gain more benefits.
Therefore, after all the questions they raised were answered by Li Guozhen, they also expressed their willingness to surrender, but still insisted on Chongzhen issuing an edict.
Li Guozhen knew that the two of them were delaying due to the unclear situation. He could not convince the two of them with words alone. After some make-believe with them, he went north overnight.
After they rushed to the Xuan Mansion, they learned through the Jin Yiwei that Wang Chengyin had been frightened by the sudden appearance of Jurchen soldiers, and that the auspicious golden dragon had not yet been reported. Knowing that this was not a good opportunity to persuade him to surrender, they disguised themselves as merchants and went to Shengjing.
According to their previous plan, they needed to find out the situation of Dorgon, Hauge and others before launching a plan to alienate them.
Unexpectedly, after they arrived outside the customs, not only did they not find out any information, but they were also restricted in every way because their hair accessories were different from those of Jurchens.
Later, he pretended to be a retainer of Shanxi merchant Fan Beidou and bribed some minions of low-level officials, and finally managed to get some information.
Although they acted very cautiously, they still caught Oboi's attention because they were unfamiliar with the place.
It turns out that Aobai was a supporter of Hauge. After Dorgon came to power, he was brutally persecuted. Fortunately, he was protected by Sony and saved his life.
After this incident, Ao Bai not only did not shrink back, but became more courageous and kept looking for opportunities to deal with Dorgon.
So when he discovered Wang Shoulin and others, he thought they were Dorgon's accomplices and sent people to capture them.
Fortunately, one of the domestic slaves sent by Obai, Cheng Dayong, once served in the Jinyi Guards of Xuan Mansion and recognized Wang Shoulin.
With the help of Cheng Dayong, Wang Shoulin and Li Guozhen managed to escape.
Due to the urgency of Obai's pursuit, the two were unable to escape from Shengjing. Later, with the help of Cheng Dayong, they hid in Obai's domestic slave camp.
There, Wang Shoulin saw the most tragic scene in his life. Groups of half-clothed Han Chinese were kept together like pigs and dogs.
In addition to working non-stop, they also had to serve the slaves of slaves. If they resisted a little, they would be beaten and scolded, and sold and executed in the worst cases. They had no dignity.
In anger, Wang Shoulin wanted to kill the Jurchen guards and rescue them, but was dissuaded by Cheng Dayong.
Cheng Dayong told him that the Jurchens had very strict control over slaves. Not only would they hang escaped slaves, but they would also confiscate and behead those who hid and harbored them.
Therefore, no one dared to take them in, no matter in the Jurchen territory, North Korea or Mongolia.
If we talk about escaping to the pass, that is simply a luxury.
Because the Jurchens set up many checkpoints on the road leading to the pass, they could not pass at all.
Even if someone is lucky enough to succeed, the gatekeepers will often expel them because they are afraid that the Jurchens will use the story to cause trouble.
Therefore, apart from being redeemed, they have no way of survival at all.
After listening to Cheng Dayong's story, Wang Shoulin felt depressed and couldn't help but express his anger at Cheng Dayong, accusing him of being an accomplice.
Hearing this, Cheng Dayong revealed the scars on his chest.
He told Wang Shoulin that whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would make a cut.
He also thought about dying happily, but he had no choice but to support himself because he cared about his mother and young children.
Fortunately, in recent years, the imperial court occasionally redeemed some Han people from the Jurchens, and this became their only spiritual support.
I hope that one day the Ming Dynasty can regain its glory and redeem those who have been reduced to the Jurchens, so that they will not die in a foreign land.
When Wang Shoulin heard this, he couldn't help hugging his former comrade tightly and crying bitterly.
After the grief, Cheng Dayong took the initiative to ask Wang Shoulin the purpose of coming to Jurchen.
When he learned that Wang Shoulin's trip was to use rumors to force Dorgon to withdraw his troops, he immediately contacted his friends who were slaves in various governments to collect information for Wang Shoulin.
With the help of a large number of Han slaves such as Cheng Dayong, they found out that Bumbutai had known Dorgon before marrying Huang Taiji, and that the night before he was appointed crown prince, Bumbutai had secretly met with Dorgon late at night. .
In addition, Cheng Dayong and others also found out that Dorgon also had evil intentions towards Hauge's side Fuji Jinjit, but they never succeeded because of Bumu Butai.
So Wang Shoulin and Li Guozhen added to the original rumors that the Jitte family committed themselves to Dorgon in order to save Hauge, in order to arouse Hauge's hatred.
Under the vigorous publicity of Cheng Dayong and others, the rumors spread throughout Shengjing in just one day.
And as the rumors fermented, it was not only said that Dorgon had evil intentions, but even worse, it was also said that Fulin was not a descendant of Huang Taiji and was not suitable to inherit the throne.
Hauge took the opportunity to join forces with Sony, Obai and others to question Bumbutai. Bumbutai was forced to recall Dorgon under pressure.
Just when Wang Shoulin and others were preparing to retire, Dorgon's brother Duduo discovered Wang Shoulin and others while investigating the rumors.
Fortunately, Cheng Dayong and others fought desperately to protect each other, and Wang Shoulin and Li Guozhen escaped from Shengjing. However, Cheng Dayong and hundreds of others were killed by Duduo.
After listening to Wang Shoulin's story, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very sad.
In his previous life, he had always thought that Mongolia was a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty. He did not expect that a mere Jurchen would dare to enslave his people in this way. He could not help but exude a strong murderous aura.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wenbing and others knelt down and asked for help, vowing to cut off the Jurchens.
Just when everyone was excited, Shen Zhanran slowly walked into Dongnuan Pavilion.
