Nanjing, Dagonfang, Generalissimo Fujun's Mansion.
"Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun, although you two have become traitors that everyone can punish. But don't worry, our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. A state of etiquette will not kill envoys, nor will it detain you. , so you don’t have to be afraid..."
It was Zhu Cixiang who was speaking. As before, he was still cheerful and smiling, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
It's just that the two Qing envoys Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun didn't know what happened. When they saw Zhu Cihong, they knelt down and couldn't speak. They just trembled there.
Zhu Cixiang had no choice but to persuade him - he didn't lie to the two traitors, and he really wouldn't kill the two traitors. After beheading them, who showed Dorgon the "Message to the Captives and Protect the People" jointly signed by celebrities from the southeast?
Therefore, they must go back in glory, and let those celebrities who signed the "Pelling to Protect the People" know that they and the Tatars are irreconcilable... If the Tatars capture Jiangnan, they will Dead!
Hearing what Zhu Cixi said, Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun trembled even more! If Dorgon knew what they said outside Yifeng Gate in Nanjing, would it be a big deal? The two of them were trying to dismantle the Qing Dynasty...
"Are you sick? Zhang Tao!" Zhu Cixiang glanced at the overly dedicated Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Si Huaiyang's Qianhu, "Did you fail to greet the two Qing envoys?"
Zhang Tao said with a smile: "Replying to Master Qiansui, I did not hurt them..."
real?
Zhu Cixiang was a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and said to Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun: "You two envoys, stand up and sit down to talk!"
He was even offered a seat, but the two traitors didn't dare to sit down, so they just sat down halfway, looking like they had been greatly wronged.
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "What do you think Dorgon asked you to do?"
Sun Zhixian glanced at Zhu Cixi - he was just a young man, how could he be so vicious? Is it really the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao?
"Master Qian Sui..." Sun Zhixian said bravely, "The regent sent a subordinate to the south, firstly to discuss the marriage; secondly, to clarify the matter about the Qing Dynasty's plan to destroy Qufu and Confucius. "
Jin Zhijun added: "Yes, the Great and Qing Dynasties also respected Confucius..."
"How could it be?" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Gong Yan Shenggong has already taken command and set out to fight, leading the disciples of Confucius Sect in Qufu to the north to regain the lost territory."
What?
Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi was so talented?
At this moment, Sun Zhixian suddenly remembered that the situation in the Northern Expedition was very good, so he asked in a roundabout way: "Master Qiansui, is the army of Duke Yan Sheng arrived in Beijing soon?"
He and Jin Zhijun have been prisoners these days. They have no idea about the situation outside. They don't even know who owns the city of Beijing now?
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "Not yet! After all, Yan Shenggong is extremely noble, and Shi Kefa will not let him take risks... But with the banner of Yan Shenggong, all the Northern Expedition armies can work together."
It's strange that they can work together... This is to deceive Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun, and Zukefa, who came with them, doesn't believe it.
There are rogue bandits, Guan Ning, the new army, and a lot of military leaders such as Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Xu Dingguo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong. With such a large number of people, it would be great not to fight among themselves, but to work together... just dream!
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "But even if Beijing is captured, I will not embarrass the two envoys. I am still willing to have good relations with the Qing Dynasty. I am also willing to marry the princess of the Qing Dynasty regent... .It’s just that the annual tribute of 4 million shi is a bit too much.”
Zhu Cixiang had long known the conditions for "discussing marriage". That Dongor Gege is only 7 years old next year. Even if she gets married at the age of 15, she will have to wait another 8 years... Dorgon may be dead by then!
Emperor Shunzhi would let the single daughter of his most hated uncle Dorgon happily marry Emperor Ming and become his queen? Therefore, the current "marriage discussion" is simply an "empty discussion" and cannot be implemented.
"Master Qiansui, we can talk about Sui Gong again... we can talk about it slowly." Sun Zhixian breathed out. If the marriage proposal can be completed, he and Jin Zhijun can explain it in front of Dorgon - if they still have a chance to see a living Dorgon!
Sun Zhixian and Jin Zhijun are not stupid either. Of course they know that once Dorgon is defeated and loses Beijing, his life will probably be lost in the internal fighting of the Eight Banners - the Eight Banners are not completely controlled by Dorgon and Duduo. . If these two brothers keep singing triumphant songs, their status will certainly be stable.
But if he loses, haha...then there will be no marriage discussion, and it’s hard to say whether Dongguo Gege will survive!
"Okay!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved to Huang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, bring up the gift for Princess."
"Here!" Huang Xiaobao responded, and immediately called for the little eunuch to bring up one large suitcase after another, and then opened it in front of the two traitors.
There are all good things inside, including a box of gold and silver jewelry, three boxes of silk and satin, and various toys to entertain children, such as bamboo horses, rattles, rag dolls, and some candied dried fruits.
Oh, there is also a portrait of Zhu Cihong, which was painted by Zhu Tongquan, a descendant of the clan from Jiangxi. Using the iron line drawing technique, the painting is quite good, realistic and expressive.
By the way, among the clans that can still be contacted from various places (excluding the nameless sects), except for the three systems of King Tang, King Lu, and King Jingjiang, because they have their own vassals, Zhu Cixiang does not need to worry about them, and the others have begun to ask for help. Nanjing gathered. There are no millions, because most of the vassal fiefdoms have been lost or have been lost. Of course, the descendants of the Zhu family suffered heavy losses in such an accident! But there are tens of thousands of clan men who can still make it to Nanjing.
This group of people has been eating royal food for generations. Most of them have no survival skills, but it is not ruled out that some people can still use it.
And the prince Zhu Cixi couldn't be too ruthless. He couldn't see these relatives who survived the war starve to death on the streets of Nanjing one by one, right? So we have to give them food as much as possible. For those who still had the title of General Fengguo or above, Zhu Cixang gave them a salary and a piece of land in the eastern part of Nanjing's outer contours to build houses and see if they could use it.
The eldest sons below the level of General Feng Guo should also be hired based on their talents - those who are good at handwriting will be hired as court clerks to be responsible for copying and writing, those who can paint will be admitted to the art academy, and those who can do accounting will be hired as tax collectors in the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Those who are good-looking are treated as accountants, and those who are good-looking are treated as generals of the Han Dynasty. Those who are useless but have target strength are served as the Xiaoling Guard New Army to suffer hardships. Those who are still young are sent to the Imperial College to study... And this Of course, Zhu Tongquan entered the rebuilt Palace Painting Academy in Nanjing and became a painter.
Zhu Cihong paused and said with a smile: "You two, these are gifts from me to Dongguo Princess. Please take them back to the Qing Dynasty."
The 4 million stone annual tribute to the Qing Dynasty was not available, but Zhu Cihong was still willing to give it a gift to coax the little girl.
As for Dorgon's regent, according to the situation Zhu Cixiang has grasped, it seems that he can still be the regent. Because this time the Ming-Shun United Northern Expedition was huge, but the possibility of success was really not very high.
However, the life of Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, is indeed not easy now.
With a bang, the desk in the study room of the Prince Regent's Mansion was kicked to the ground by the furious prince. The eunuchs and maids standing around were so frightened that they all dwarfed by half.
Several ministers who were close to the regent, such as Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin, Qi Chongge, He Luohui and others, did not dare to raise their heads.
Dorgon gasped, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Hauge...Hauge...what a Hauge!"
Of course the person Dorgon hates the most is Hauge! If it weren't for Hauge, he would not be the regent but the Qing emperor now!
Similarly, what Hauge hates most is Dorgon. If it were not Dorgon, Hauge would be the emperor. How could he get Fulin in his turn?
At present, the Qing Dynasty's war situation in the pass is slightly unfavorable. Hauge, who is leading troops on the front line of Datong Prefecture, will certainly not miss the opportunity to attack Dorgon. A few days ago, he proposed to abandon the offensive in Shanxi and divert his troops to Zhili, Zhili, and Zhili. Shandong.
If Hauge's suggestion is adopted, it will mean that Dorgon's long-planned battle of Shanxi has completely failed, and his prestige as the regent will be greatly reduced!
