Qianli was an official just for money. He, as a staff member, stayed with Gao Di to work, not just so that one day he could use Gao Di's power to enter the officialdom and make profits for his family.
He never felt there was anything wrong with accepting the benefits from Fan Wencheng.
Whether or not Daming would be betrayed into Dai Jin's arms was Gao Di's business. He was just an aide, and after receiving the money, he only let Gao Di meet Fan Wencheng. How did he choose to stay with Gao Di in the end?
As soon as the staff came out of the yamen, someone outside immediately greeted them.
The staff member glanced at the person, then looked around, and then whispered: "Go back and tell your master, I have brought you the message. I don't know whether the supervisor will see you."
The visitor nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Snapped!
The staff member flicked the folding fan in his hand to reveal the landscape painting on the fan. He hummed an unknown tune and moved away from the Yamen behind him step by step with the folding fan swaying in his hand.
The messenger immediately spread the news out of the city and delivered it to Fan Wencheng.
More than ten miles away from Shanhaiguan, Fan Wencheng and a team of more than a dozen people set up a temporary camp.
Among those who accompanied Fan Wencheng, in addition to the Han soldiers, there was also an assistant leader with a yellow flag as his deputy.
"Nikunzuo leader, Shanhaiguan sent news that Gao Di refused to negotiate with Daikin." Fan Wencheng told the news from Shanhaiguan to the leader with the yellow flag.
This mission was obviously led by him, but he knew very well that the leader with the yellow flag was Huang Taiji's most trusted person, and he did not dare to really treat him as an ordinary deputy.
Ni Kun frowned and said dissatisfied: "The Great Khan gave him a chance to be loyal, but this Han dog is so ignorant. When we take Shanhaiguan, I will make sure to make this dog slave."
Dajin internally deliberately elevated the status of the Jurchens, which made many Jurchens accustomed to the fact that the Han people were inferior to them, and even the Ming Dynasty colleges still looked down upon them.
"The Great Khan wants to win Shanhaiguan earlier, and Daikin wants to win Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost, and the cooperation of this high ranking is indispensable." Fan Wencheng said.
After living in Dajin for so many years, he has long been accustomed to the superiority of the Jurchens and to the Han people being inferior to the Jurchens. Even when he heard Nichkhun's curse on Gaudi, he did not feel any discomfort.
I just felt that Nichkhun's curse on Gaudi was of no benefit to Daikin in winning Shanhaiguan.
Nikun looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
As Huang Taiji's slave, he naturally wanted to fulfill his master's instructions, but he also knew that he could not compete with Han Chen like Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Gao Di just refused to meet with me, which shows that he still has a glimmer of hope for Ming Dynasty. If we can cut off this little hope of his, I think Gao Di will definitely take the initiative." Offer to see me."
"Then what are you still waiting for? Do it quickly!" Nichkhun urged.
Fan Wencheng, who heard this, said: "This matter is not that easy, and I definitely can't do it alone. It requires the cooperation of people in Shanhaiguan."
"As long as you can fulfill your master's instructions, I won't stop you from doing anything you want to do. Even if you ask me to do something, I won't refuse," Nichkhun said.
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng quickly shook his hand and said: "There is no need for the leader to come forward. It is enough to use the people in Shanhaiguan. In five days at most, good news will come."
"Are you sure you can capture Shanhaiguan within five days?" Nikun showed disbelief.
Even if Daikin deployed an army of 50,000 people, it would be impossible to capture such a dangerous pass as Shanhaiguan in five days. Fan Wencheng said that Shanhaiguan could be captured in five days. He subconsciously felt that Fan Wencheng was exaggerating.
Fan Wencheng said: "It will be difficult to capture Shanhaiguan in five days, but I can guarantee that Gao Di will see me within five days. Then I will be confident that Gao Di will give up Shanhaiguan."
"What you said is so ridiculous, I don't believe it at all, but since you said you can see Gaudi in five days, then just go ahead and do it. I won't stop you, as long as you can complete what the master told you." Although Nikhun I didn’t believe that Fan Wencheng could do it in five days, but I still chose to support Fan Wencheng.
Because Huang Taiji had told him before he came here that he would leave it to Fan Wencheng to do anything with his brain.
Although he looked down on Han ministers like Fan Wencheng, he would not disobey his master.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zuoling. If I fail to fulfill the instructions of the Great Khan, I will voluntarily go to the Great Khan to apologize."
Nikun had no intention of giving random instructions to Fan Wencheng. In addition to cooperating with Fan Wencheng, his other purpose was to monitor Fan Wencheng.
He didn't ask what Fan Wencheng would do, but waited to see the final result.
Fan Wencheng persuaded Nichkhun, and then asked his men to deliver letters to Daikin's people in Shanhaiguan.
He wrote everything he told him on paper, and his subordinates only needed to send the secret letter to Shanhaiguan and hand it over to the right person.
Shanhaiguan is an important pass in the Ming Dynasty. It is almost impossible for a large group of strangers to suddenly sneak into Shanhaiguan, but it is easy to just send one or two people into Shanhaiguan.
Even if it is sometimes guessed that the identity of some people entering Shanhaiguan is suspicious, most of the time no one will take care of them and they will be let into Shanhaiguan anyway.
Of course, entering Shanhaiguan is not free. You need to use money to buy off the guards.
Fan Wencheng's secret letter was quickly sent to Shanhaiguan.
In the afternoon of that day, rumors spread in the city of Shanhaiguan that the capital had fallen and Chongzhen had been killed. The rumors got louder and louder. After only one day, almost everyone in Shanhaiguan knew about it.
As the governor of Jiliao, Gao Di was the highest-ranking person in Shanhaiguan. Naturally, someone below told him the news about the fall of the capital.
Rumors are the hardest thing to control, and they spread from mouth to mouth. Even if there are some loopholes, they have to be completely patched up in the mouths of the people who spread the rumors.
Wow!
Gaudí overturned everything on the table to the ground, including his favorite pen holder.
"Don Weng, calm down. This matter has not been confirmed by the capital. Maybe the situation is not that bad." The person who spoke was an aide next to Gaudi.
There were two staff members following Gaudi, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Fu.
The person who had previously advised Gaudi to see Fan Wencheng was the staff member named Fu.
Gao Di asked with an ugly face: "Have you sent out the people going to the capital?"
"We have been dispatched, but the road to the capital is blocked by a large number of cavalry from tiger thieves. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people we dispatch to reach the capital in a short time." Staff Li said.
