It was almost dusk when Chang Yu saw Emperor Chongzhen. Zhu Youjian and his cabinet ministers had been arguing for several hours before basically settling on the matter that had been discussed secretly all morning. Hearing that Chang Yu had persuaded Gao Jie, he couldn't help but admire: "Fighting poison with poison." There are many arrows, which are very good. I have been worried about the military rations for a long time, but I never thought that you would come up with something, but... wouldn't it be too ugly to eat it? "
"Your Majesty, it's good to have something to eat in this calamity year, but you also have to pay attention to the appearance of food?" Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "It's really ugly for the soldiers to be hungry without food and grass."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed: "That makes sense, but borrowing and asking for it are two different things. Borrowing has to be repaid, especially if the person who left the note can't rely on it no matter how long it takes."
"Could it be that people from Datong are here to collect debts?" Chang Yu heard something. When he left Beijing for Taiyuan a few months ago, he borrowed a lot of food and salary from the Prince Dai's Mansion in Datong. He almost paid for the Prince Jin's Mansion in Taiyuan. A bankrupt.
But Taiyuan was the fiefdom of the King of Jin. If Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji had not led their troops to defend it, once the city was destroyed, his line as King of Jin would be gone. So no matter how much he asked for or borrowed at the time, he had no shame to ask for it, but King Dai would not. Same.
"I didn't open my mouth directly, I must be embarrassed, but I also heard some complaints over there." Emperor Chongzhen looked disgusted.
Chang Yu sighed. He had borrowed two hundred thousand taels of silver and nearly one hundred thousand stones of food and grass from the king in Datong. He promised to pay it back in ten days and a half. The money was indeed paid back later, but where could he get so much food to pay him back? Just a few months passed.
"Since it's been overdue for so long, why don't you pay it back?" Chang Yu chuckled. King Dai was the richest among the vassal kings, but he searched very hard. Such a small amount of food was just a drop in the bucket for him.
Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and asked: "Is it okay not to pay back after the due date?"
"Anyway, it's not borrowed by the emperor. If he wants to find it, he can come to me." Chang Yu shrugged like a scoundrel. Emperor Chongzhen laughed, he simply loved this scoundrel to death.
"Then you should be careful about the military rations going south now. Don't look back. The Dongchang Yamen is blocked by debt collectors." Chang Yu, the most difficult thing about going south, solved most of it easily. Emperor Chongzhen was very happy. happy.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You will gain wisdom after every experience. How could I dare to owe so much foreign debt if my family is so poor? I was young and ignorant at that time, so I gave others a clue. In the future...hehe, I only ask for it but don't borrow it, and I don't pay any notes when I borrow it." , I think this means that although my family background is thin, my face is thick.”
Emperor Chongzhen laughed heartily: "Today is really full of happy events." He took a secret fold from the dragon case and handed it to Chang Yu: "I just sent it to you and see if it is a good thing."
Chang Yu took it curiously, opened it and took a look. He was a little surprised to see that it was an urgent message from the Jinyi Guards outside the pass: Dorgon and his troops had fled back to Jinzhou City and sent a letter to the Ming army in Ningyuan, saying that he would return to his ancestors within seven days. Happy birthday to Azig!
"You saw that Dorgon couldn't wait to rescue Azig as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou. You really have a deep brotherhood!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled half-heartedly.
Chang Yu couldn't help but curled his lips: "I can't get out of Jinzhou. It's called rest, but it's actually to delay time to discuss countermeasures. As for the rush to exchange Azig P's brotherly love, it's because of the situation. With his current desperation, If you return to Shenyang like this, you will be pushed to the ground and rubbed hard by Hauge's forces within minutes, and if Azige's white flag is leaderless, it will be divided up immediately and used by the opponent."
Therefore, he had to get Azig out before returning to Shenyang and gather the capital of several banners under the hands of the three brothers so that he could have the confidence to go back and fight for power.
"One Azige is exchanged for a large family of the ancestral family. On the surface, this transaction is not a loss, but is Zu Dashou still of great use?" Emperor Chongzhen was already very suspicious, not to mention Zu Dashou, a general who had betrayed him twice. .
"Your Majesty, you should know that Huang Taiji and Dorgon have been talking about the reason why Zu Dashou is idle." Chang Yu smiled slightly. He was really helpless about Chongzhen's suspicion, but he still had to be patient to convince him.
After Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he retired from the world and was no longer seen on the battlefield. Instead, Hong Chengchou planned and planned a series of actions launched by the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
Why did Huang Taiji and Dorgon no longer use the powerful general Zu Dashou?
The reason is very simple, this product has a bad reputation.
There are lessons learned from the past. If you dare to let him go out to lead troops, he will dare to escape back to the Ming Dynasty.
Just so willful.
Huang Taiji, Dorgon and even Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to use him, but Chang Yu was different. No matter he dared to use him, he was still ready to reuse him.
Moreover, the person who was exchanged for Dorgon this time was not Zu Dashou alone, but the Zu Family Tiantuan: Zu Dalue, Zu Dacheng, Zu Dabi, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Zefa, Zu Dabi, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Dabi Zerun, Zukefa, etc.
This is the only combination in the world that can resist Wu Sangui, and it is also the only one that can control Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry to keep the morale of the army stable.
Of course Emperor Chongzhen also knew why Huang Taiji and Dorgon didn't use Zu Dashou's consent. It was just that they couldn't trust him. It was sad to say that Zu Dashou was also distrusted by both bosses.
"Are you really not afraid that he is going back on his word?" Emperor Chongzhen always felt sad.
"Don't be afraid. It was a last resort in that situation. Now that the Qing Dynasty has been hit hard and cannot protect itself, he has no reason to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Jinzhou is the place he once protected with his life. His blood has been shed there, so he will definitely "I will take it back again." Chang Yu bowed and kowtowed: "I will personally handle the exchange. I am also willing to vouch for my ancestor's longevity with my life. If he dares to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, I will kill him and then commit suicide to apologize."
Emperor Chongzhen stared at Chang Yu for a long time: "I don't believe him, but I trust you. And even if his ancestors die, it won't be worth your life. You alone can be worth a million of the army!"
Hey, I'm putting a high hat on myself again, just to make myself work harder for him. Chang Yu couldn't help but find it funny sometimes. Emperor Chongzhen always treated himself like a three-year-old child and liked to hear good things.
"If you go outside the customs, it will take half a month at the fastest, and more than a month at the slowest. I am afraid that the southward campaign to suppress the bandits will be delayed." Emperor Chongzhen frowned.
Chang Yu smiled faintly: "It won't delay anything. The army can go ahead. I can catch up with my fast horse and light armor." Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Then I'll spare you the trouble."
"My lord, this is my duty." Chang Yu quickly kowtowed and said, "Tonight, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the generals' achievements, and I will invite all the military and civil servants to mobilize for the southward march."
Emperor Chongzhen said oh, and suddenly asked: "Wu Sangui, let's go too." Chang Yu nodded.
"Then you plan to show off your cards tonight?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "He secretly brought three North Korean princes to the capital to surprise the emperor. Naturally, I also had to surprise him."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I was very angry at him before. Now I will treat him in his own way, and he will look very wonderful by then."
"Perhaps the emperor will be able to see his wonderful expression tomorrow." Chang Yu chuckled: "Tonight we will discuss the matter of going south. He will come tomorrow to invite him out of the customs. If the emperor refuses, he should have something in mind."
No, no, no, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and shook his finger: "I am busy with state affairs and have no time to see him!"
Chang Yu was startled, then laughed loudly and said, "Then let's wait until I come back from outside the customs to see."
