"Young Master Li's name is well-known in the palace... I have always been regretting that such a great talent as Mr. Li, who is also an official, why can't he be used by the imperial court? Now it's better, Li Anyway, when the young master comes back, our great cause of reviving the Ming Dynasty will definitely be possible!"
Zhu Cixiang held Li Yan's big hand all the way to Haisha Island, and only let go when they sat down separately. The disgusting words were thrown away as if they were free of charge, which made Li Yan feel embarrassed and no longer doubted whether his wife had been scorned by the wise gentleman in front of him...Looking at the energy of Corporal Li Xian, it should be No? It seems you can rest assured.
"Thank you, Lord Chitose. I'm just a scholar. I had no choice but to become a thief. I'm really ashamed."
What Li Yan said was truer than gold - he really became a thief as a last resort! Is it okay to be kidnapped to a mountain by a thief like Red Lady? Facing such a female thief, any normal man will inevitably make mistakes!
Zhu Cixiang glanced at the red lady who was following Li Yan with a slightly blushing cheek, and said in her heart: It's all your fault! Li Yan followed you as a last resort. What exactly did you do to Li Yan?
"Master Li," Zhu Cixiang still called Li Yan's nickname, "you have just returned with your troops, and you have performed a great service and killed the best warrior in Manchuria! I will reward you heavily... By the way, Do you want to be a civil servant or a military attache?"
"The student is a scholar, but he has already joined the army." Li Yan replied, "It is better to continue to be a military attaché."
Zhu Cixiang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Then be my military advisor first. When I arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, I will entrust you with important responsibilities!"
Li Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, "Student thanks Master Qiantai."
Zhu Cixiang asked again: "Master Li is from Henan, right?"
"The student is from Kaifeng Prefecture."
Zhu Cixiang nodded, "Zhongzhou is quite important. Since ancient times, Zhongzhou has dominated the world! Now there are three families competing for it... Mr. Li, what do you think?"
"Although Li Zicheng has great momentum, his foundation is unstable!" Li Yan said, "His Great Shun Dynasty is only on the surface and has not taken root. It looks good when the wind is going smoothly, but once the general trend of the world changes suddenly, it can easily fall apart. "
He thought deeply and said: "Li Chuang's best strategy now is to occupy Shanxi and Heluo to protect the foundation of Guanlong and at the same time take root in Guanlong as soon as possible."
"Take root?" Zhu Cixi asked, "How to take root?"
Li Yan said: "The so-called rooting means to control the land and population... Just sending out magistrates and county magistrates is not enough. You must directly control at least part of the land and population. This is rooting!
For example, the Weisuo system implemented by Emperor Taizu Gao of this dynasty, the Fubing system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Eight Banners system of the Eastern Lu, all directly controlled part of the land and population as the foundation of the country. Only when we have the foundation can we last long. But Li Zicheng only knew how to equalize land and avoid taxes, but did not know how to put the population and land under his firm control. It would be difficult for him to regain his strength. Chitose should seize the opportunity and send out capable officers to manage Henan. "
Zhu Cixiang nodded repeatedly, this Li Yan really has some skills!
...
The third day of May in the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.
Yongping Mansion, located in Shanhaiguan, is now the territory of the Qing Dynasty!
The day after Geng Zhongming and Duolong led their troops to leave Yongping, the Qing army stationed in Yongping tore off the mask of "helping the Ming Dynasty suppress bandits". First, they sent troops to surround the 20,000 to 30,000 Ming troops in Funing Guard and Shanhaiguan, forcing them to shave their heads and disarm.
After that, Dorgon sent troops to occupy the Ningyuan cities outside the pass, and Yongping, Jizhou, Miyun, Tongzhou, Changping, Yanqing, Xuanfu and other places inside the pass.
At the same time, he also sent Hauge to lead 30,000 elite troops from Kong Youde's unit of the Han army under the Zhenglan Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghong Banner, and went straight to the city of Beijing!
Dorgon also ordered all the envoys sent by Zhu Cihong to the Qing army camp to be detained.
After some arrangements, Dorgon sat quietly in his tent and waited for the good news!
There must be good news. Now the Qing family dominates the territory of Beizhili! A total of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, who had just defeated Li Zicheng's 200,000 (actually only 60,000) army, were simply invincible. Aren't you just going to occupy wherever you want?
There is only one question now, that is, will Emperor Chongzhen and the Crown Prince of the Zhu family escape from the swords of Duolong and Geng Zhongming?
If he really had this ability, Zhu Cixiang would be worthy enough to propose to Dongguo...
Dorgon was in a good mood, so he drank a little wine. When he was drunkenly wondering whether Zhu Cixi would escape from Dagokou, Fan Wencheng's voice suddenly came from outside the tent hall.
"Prince Regent, my servant Fan Wencheng has something urgent to ask for."
what's up? The half-drunk Dorgon was stunned, and subconsciously thought that Fan Wencheng's wife had been slept with by Duduo again... Fan Wencheng's wife was a house-filler, and she looked like a flower! Somehow he fell in love with Duduo and hooked up with her and went to sleep with her. As a result, this matter was brought to Huang Taiji.
Of course, Huang Taiji valued Fan Wencheng very much, and wanted to take advantage of Duduo's opportunity, so he took 15 niulu from Duduo and asked him to pay him a thousand taels of silver - it was not that he gave the thousand taels to Fan Wencheng. The person who paid for the prostitution was Huang Taiji himself. As for Duduo sleeping with Fan Wencheng's wife, why did Huang Taiji accept a thousand taels of silver? That's a complicated question...
But now the situation is different. Now Fan Wencheng is the slave with the white flag, and Duduo is the flag owner with the white flag. The flag owner has the right to sleep with the slave's wife. If Fan Wencheng is not convinced, it will be difficult for Dorgon to deal with it!
"Come in! Come in quickly!" Dorgon quickly let Fan Wencheng into the tent. Seeing Lao Fan's furious look, he blurted out: "Did that boy Duduo sleep with your wife again? This king is going to Teach him a lesson for you..."
Fan Wencheng's face turned red when he said that. He quickly waved his hands and said: "No, it's not my wife's business. It's none of my business."
"Oh... Then why are you so anxious to see me?"
"It's Hong Chengchou!"
"Ah? Hong Chengchou's wife let Duduo sleep with her?" Duoduo stood up suddenly, nearly awakened by the wine, "This is not allowed!"
Hong Chengchou is not a slave of the coat! Moreover, his original wife, Mrs. Li, was still staying in her hometown in Fujian. After joining the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji gave him a beautiful woman named Liu as his wife. This beautiful girl Dodo can’t just sleep with her!
Fan Wencheng looked embarrassed. Is the regent drunk? Why do you care about this?
"Your Majesty, this is not the case..." Fan Wencheng said this and took out a book from his sleeve pocket that seemed to have been overheated and had a burnt black surface. He handed it to Dorgon with both hands, " Your Majesty, I and my men found this from the residence of the envoy Can Ming, and it is Zhu Cihong’s order to Hong Chengchou.”
"What?" Dorgon took the almost burnt notebook, opened it and read it. After reading a few lines, he frowned.
Zhu Cixiang's edict looks more like a letter, and the main contents of the letter are four. The first is to thank Hong Chengchou for reporting the news, and also said that he has made complete preparations to reassure Hong Chengchou that things will never happen. Lost... As for what happened, it was not stated clearly.
The second is about the arrangements for moving the capital to Nanxing and Beizhili. Zhu Cihong told Hong Chengchou that he had seriously considered Hong's suggestion and decided to stay in the capital as soon as possible. He also entrusted all affairs in the north to Hong and appointed him as the left-behind minister in Beijing and the governor of Northern Zhili. He also said that arrangements had been made in Beijing, waiting for Hong Chengchou to enter the city.
The third is about the establishment of acting vassals. Zhu Cihong told Hong Chengchou that he had followed the plan and sent someone to persuade Jiang Yu to give up anyway.
The fourth is about the marriage between the Ming and Qing Dynasties... Zhu Cixiang asked Hong Chengchou to try to complete this matter.
Dorgon frowned after reading Zhu Cixi's edict: "Scholar Fan, what do you think?"
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say... maybe it's a rift, or it may be true!"
Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng, "Do you think Hong Chengchou might betray me, the Qing Dynasty?"
"Probably not," Fan Wencheng said, "but you still have to be on guard!"
Dorgon asked again: "How did you obtain this edict?"
Fan Wencheng said: "When the slaves led people to detain the Ming envoys, they found that they were burning letters, so they sent people to search and obtain it. According to the Ming envoy Lin Yihu, this edict was only delivered last night , originally planned to hand it over to Hong Chengchou tonight..."
