"As the deputy minister of the current cabinet, you must understand who is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty at present. If you can't even figure this out, our family feels that you should return to your hometown as soon as possible, and go home to entertain your grandchildren!" Yang Guorui said He said with an unhappy face.
Seeing that Yang Guorui was dissatisfied with him, Ma Shiying hurriedly changed his attitude and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my subordinates will definitely support me in dealing with the tiger thieves and will never delay the chief minister's retreat."
Without the support of the guarding eunuch, he knew that he would not be able to compete with Qian Qianyi, who had become the chief minister of the cabinet, in the court.
Therefore, he did not dare to refuse Yang Guorui's request.
"It's best for you to figure it out yourself." Yang Guorui said, "Our family doesn't care about the dirty things between you and Qian Shouzhi, but you can't delay the important events of the court. The biggest thing for the court right now is to go north to recapture Peking. , whoever holds back on this matter is our enemy, and our family will definitely skin him alive."
As he spoke, he kept his eyes on Ma Shiying's face.
Ma Shiying understood that this was a warning to herself.
But he understood better that he was able to enter the cabinet because he had this guarding eunuch at his back, otherwise there would be no place for him in the cabinet.
Therefore, for the time being, we can only give up trying to cause trouble for Qian Qianyi on the alliance with Daikin.
Officials of the Ming Dynasty, headed by the four great ministers of Gu Ming, fully supported the alliance, and Fan Wencheng quickly became the target of everyone in the southern capital.
There are endless banquets waiting for him every day.
Fan Wencheng did not act arrogant because of this, but instead acted in an extreme manner, wooing Ming officials everywhere and changing the image of Dai Jin in the hearts of Ming officials.
The southern part of the Ming Dynasty has not suffered from the disasters of Dai Jin. This has made many scholars in Jiangnan not only have a good impression of Dai Jin, but even spread good words for Dai Jin everywhere.
For a time, Dai Jin's image has undergone earth-shaking changes. From the ministers in the court to the traffickers and lackeys, almost everyone thinks that Dai Jin is an alliance of brothers and Ming Dynasty, and the Tiger Character Banner is the bad guy.
Even if some scholars told the outside world about the harm that Dajin had done to Ming Dynasty, no one believed it. Even ordinary people thought that these people were fabricating it, deliberately slandering Dajin and destroying the unity of Ming Dynasty and Dajin. .
Some people even went to the government and asked people from the yamen to catch those who spoke ill of Dajin, saying that they were spies of the Tiger Character Banner in the Ming Dynasty.
Fan Wencheng and other people who came to Nandu from Dajin, since the Ming Dynasty decided to form an alliance with Dajin, they no longer need to wear thick hats when going out.
Nowadays, bald heads have become a popular object in Nandu. They are respected by passers-by when they walk on the street. Even the pear vendors on the street will offer them pears to eat without asking for a penny.
"Mr. Fan, it seems that this time we have completed the errand assigned by the Great Khan, can we return to Daikin?" The person who spoke was a subordinate of Zhenghuang Banner.
In the team of the mission, Fan Wencheng was the envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and this assistant leader was Fan Wencheng's deputy, assisting Fan Wencheng in Nandu, and also played a certain monitoring role.
Huang Taiji was always on guard against the Han people.
Even though the so-called Han Eight Banners are Han people who are nominally bannermen, for real bannermen like Huang Taiji, the Han Eight Banners are still not their own, but they are slightly more reliable than the Guan Ning Army who later defected to them.
Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "It's time to go back. The credentials still need to be taken back to the Great Khan for sealing."
"When are you leaving? I'll have people pack things in advance." Zuo Ling said.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have to visit the homes of several Ming ministers in the next two days. We will set off after we finish visiting these Ming ministers."
"Who else are you going to see? Haven't you seen everything you should see?" Zuo Ling looked confused.
During these days, Fan Wencheng took him with him no matter who he met, which allowed him to fully experience the luxury of Ming officials. Even Baylor of Daijin was at best considered a luxury compared to the Ming officials he had met in the past few days. As a rich man, there is no way to compare.
Fan Wencheng said: "I have met a lot these days, but there are still a few people who are in charge of the power of the Ming Dynasty that I have not yet met. Before leaving, I need to meet them."
When he came to Nandu, he met almost all the officials he could see, except for the four ministers of Nandu who he had not paid a special visit to. He only met them once at court.
In his opinion, after making friends with these life-seeking ministers of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty really took off its guard against Da Jin and regarded Da Jin as one of its own.
"Are you talking about those ministers who cared about the Ming Dynasty?" Hearing the words "holding power in the Ming Dynasty", Zuo Ling guessed who Fan Wencheng wanted to see.
Fan Wencheng nodded and said: "Yes, these are the ministers who care about life in the Ming Dynasty."
"Can you see them? If you haven't visited them before, they won't see you at all." Zuo Ling said with a frown.
Fan Wencheng said: "I want to try before I leave. I want them to feel the goodwill of our Daikin. This is a good thing for our Daikin's future."
"If we hadn't already confirmed the alliance with the Ming Dynasty, would those Ming Dynasty's life-seeking ministers still regret it?" Zuo Ling said.
I felt that Fan Wencheng's special visit to several ministers of the Ming Dynasty before leaving was completely unnecessary.
Fan Wencheng said: "If we just formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, we have already done it, but after solving the problem of tiger thieves, the Ming Dynasty is still our primary enemy of Daikin. We must make good friends with these Ming Dynasty ministers who care about life. , is to prepare in advance for the future war between Daikin and the Ming Dynasty. If we can bribe a minister who cares about life to work for our Daikin, it will be even more helpful to our Daikin."
"Minister Gu Ming of the Ming Dynasty is willing to work for our Daikin?" Zuo Ling looked unbelieving.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "You won't know until you try it, and even if you can't get the Minister Gu Ming of the Ming Dynasty to work for our Daikin, you can still make friends with them and let them put more effort into dealing with the tiger thieves. This It’s all beneficial to us at Daikin.”
"I can't talk to you. If you want to go, go ahead. Anyway, I won't go with you. You people talk in circles and make people incomprehensible. It's better to find a young lady from the Ming Dynasty to have fun. ." Zuo Ling said to Fan Wencheng.
These days, I accompanied Fan Wencheng to meet the Ming Dynasty officials. Every time, he seemed to be an outsider. Not only could he not understand what those people were saying, he couldn't even talk to them. He would just stay there like a fool and let him I felt very uncomfortable.
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "You don't have to go if you don't want to go. This time I went to visit them. I just tried to see if we could make good friends. The best we could do would be the icing on the cake. Even if we couldn't, we had completed the big task. What Khan told me.”
