Wu Zhong suddenly said to Fan Wencheng in a loud voice: "Master Fan, I can work hard for the Qing Dynasty, but you must agree to one condition!"
Fan Wencheng was annoyed, but he didn't expect that Wu Zhong would dare to raise conditions. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He turned to look at him and said in a colder voice: "It is your honor to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. How can I tolerate you?" bargain?"
If one goes by Wu Zhong's previous attitude, he has actually always been very humble. When Fan Wencheng said this, he basically had to give in.
But at this time, Wu Zhong had no fear. Instead, he held his head high and said with a risk-taking attitude: "Open the sky and tell me, Master Fan is loyal to the Qing Dynasty. I don't know the reason for it! But you must I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but I still did a fairy dance and cheated me hard. Just like that, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Even if I agree with my mouth, it’s hard to say what I will actually do!"
"You..." Fan Wencheng heard his first words, which were vaguely thorny, and he couldn't help but get angry. Just when he was about to scold him, he heard his next words, and he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Fan Wencheng's expression, Wu Zhong was also a bachelor. He found a stool in the house and sat down. Then he raised his head and said to Fan Wencheng who was standing: "After all, I have been a Jinyiwei for many years. I have never seen any tricks." ? I just didn’t expect that Master Fan, a dignified bachelor, would actually use such a dirty trick, and accidentally fell into your trap. Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust..."
"Do you have any room for bargaining?" Fan Wencheng saw that he had figured it out, so he didn't care. He just glared and shouted.
Wu Zhong was not threatened by him at all. He still looked like he was taking matters into his own hands. He seemed to be convinced by Fan Wencheng and said, "I would have dared not bargain before the change. But now that I know what you want me to do, then That leaves me with room for bargaining. Let’s put it this way, if I go back to the pass to do these things, even if Mr. Li is not promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei, then I, the general flag of the Jinyiwei, is the most suitable. What does Jinyiwei do? That’s black and white. , and there aren’t that many rules when it comes to doing things. Don’t you think so?”
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng stopped talking.
In fact, the Qing Dynasty really didn't have a suitable candidate who could enter the country to spy on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. They also had to find big businessmen who were bold enough to do business with the Qing Dynasty. And the Jinyiwei general banner in front of him can also use the tiger skin of the Jinyiwei commander to do things, which is really more suitable than anyone else.
Furthermore, looking at this Jin Yiwei Zongqi, he might have been a gangster in the past. He looks like this and is obviously going to die. When he sees an opportunity, he wants to take advantage of it. If he can get big benefits in exchange, he probably won't. The kind who would cherish his life.
This kind of person is really difficult to deal with.
As he was thinking, he heard Wu Zhong continue to say: "Of course, Mr. Fan can also ignore what I just said, or even beat me to death. I don't care, think about it, he is so majestic in the Ming Dynasty After coming to Liaodong, General Jin Yiwei has been living a life that is worse than a pig or a dog. No, there are people outside who are chasing me and want to beat me to death. I am actually tired of living this kind of life!"
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng calmed down. Of course he knew how important it was to the Qing Dynasty to go to the pass to spy on the news and develop big merchants and Liaodong trade. In addition, he also made a guarantee to the emperor, and so many princes and princes Baylor heard about it. If this matter turned out to be self-defeating, it would also appear He is incompetent.
Therefore, Fan Wencheng softened his tone, took a few steps closer to Wu Zhong, and then asked calmly: "What conditions do you have, please tell me first?"
"I want to marry Princess Gulun Duanjing and become the consort of the Qing Dynasty!"
"What?" When Fan Wencheng heard this, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and immediately confirmed, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
"I want to marry Princess Gulun Duanjing and become the consort of the Qing Dynasty!" Wu Zhong said it word for word this time, but after he finished speaking, he added, "In this way, I Treat the Qing Dynasty as one of your own family, work for your own family, go to the mountains of knives or go to the sea of fire, no problem!"
This time, Fan Wencheng was sure that he heard Wu Zhong's conditions clearly. But just like that, he showed a look of disbelief and looked at Wu Zhong up and down, as if he wanted to get to know him again.
Wu Zhong himself seemed to have nothing to do. He stood up, looked at Fan Wencheng at eye level, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Master Fan, this is the difference between you and me. If I want the Qing Dynasty to die, there must be sufficient reasons. I’m talented, instead of just sending me away casually, I can work hard for the Qing Dynasty!”
At this point, he paused and then said nonchalantly: "The conditions have been mentioned, you can go and talk to the emperor. As for whether to cut me to pieces in the end to vent your anger, or for the future of the Qing Dynasty, it all depends on the emperor. Five of us are risking our lives!"
To be honest, Fan Wencheng was very angry at this time. How could he not hear the scoundrel's sarcasm towards him, but he also knew that this matter was not something he could decide on his own.
Therefore, after he stared at Wu Zhong for a long time, he suddenly showed a smile on his face and said to Wu Zhong in a very kind tone: "Brother Xian is really brave. I can't make the decision on this matter. Let’s wait for my brother to go to the palace.”
After hearing this, Wu Zhong immediately understood something in his heart and smiled immediately, as if he had not said anything to Fan Wencheng at all, but just smiled and said: "Brother Lao Fan is responsible for everything. The emperor wants me to die, Then I will die without complaint; but if I can get what I want, Brother Fan will be my matchmaker!"
Fan Wencheng stopped being polite and walked to the door and told the steward: "Take Brother Wu Xian and hide it. Don't let people in the front yard find it. Also, ask Madam to go through the back door and go out to avoid the limelight."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Wu Zhongdao and left in a hurry.
Wu Zhong looked at his back, but he was already convinced.
This princess who built the Tatars cannot be compared with the Princess of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty has always refused to cede territory, make indemnities, or make peace with the outside world. Even if the emperor is caught, he will never compromise!
However, Tatar women are really not human beings. For the sake of profit, the human relations among these Tatars have been messed up. Not only the princesses, but also the daughters of the princes, as long as they are female, have become tools used by the Tatars to win over others.
Also, how old is this? Dorgon and Duduo’s biological mother was forced to be buried alive by Huang Taiji.
It can be seen from this kind of thing that despite the usual arrogance of that bullshit princess, when it comes to really benefiting from it, she is nothing!
Fan Wencheng definitely knew the Tatar Emperor. From his sudden change of words, it can be seen that in order to spy on the news in the Ming Dynasty and to promote the black-hearted businessmen in the pass to do business in Liaodong, the Tatar Emperor went to Liaodong to do business. It's just a woman, and nine times out of ten, she will be used in exchange for this benefit.
This Tatar emperor did everything possible for this bullshit Qing Dynasty!
Wu Zhong was thinking about these things and followed the steward to hide in Fan Mansion. In less than an hour, someone from the palace finally came and disciplined the troublemaker away. At the same time, he was ordered to recruit Wu Zhong into the palace.
The development of things did not surprise Wu Zhong.
Still in Chongzheng Hall, Wu Zhong saw Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng, but no one else. He noticed that Fan Wencheng seemed to have been reprimanded, haha, you deserve it, you are so angry!
When Huang Taiji saw Wu Zhong, after looking at him for a long time, he just asked about Wu Zhong's situation in the Ming Dynasty, including his parents, brothers and sisters, whether he was married, and his relationship with Jinyiwei, etc. He asked a lot of questions. detailed.
Regarding these things, the dignified Jin Yiwei Zongqi, regardless of the truth or lies, just said it casually, and others could not tell the difference at all.
Even Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, couldn't tell the difference, but he had a way. He immediately called Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and then repeated Huang Taiji's question to Li Ruolian. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen discovered that Wu Zhong was not telling the truth.
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't tell what Wu Zhong was thinking through eavesdropping on the seeds. Was he going to be a traitor, or was he trying to deal with Huang Taiji?
But it's okay. There are eavesdropping seeds monitoring him. Even if Wu Zhongzhen betrays Daming, it will not cause any losses.
This thing is really funny to say. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
He arranged for a spy to go to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but he ended up becoming the leader of the Manchu and Qing spies there. What was even more outrageous was that he eventually became the son-in-law of the slave chief Huang Taiji. In the future, will it be possible to publish a book on the life of a legendary secret agent? I wonder if it will become a bestseller?
Through eavesdropping on the seeds, Emperor Chongzhen already knew that the princess was originally going to be arranged by Huang Taiji to marry one of her cousins to consolidate the relationship between the Manchus and the Horqin tribe. However, Wu Zhong intervened, and Huang Taiji had already decided to give Wu Zhong the princess.
This matter can be regarded as a relatively interesting matter, and it also involves Huang Taiji. Emperor Chongzhen still could not obtain this kind of information from the top management of the Manchu Qing Dynasty through other means. Therefore, he kept paying attention to the eavesdropping seed in Wu Zhong.
That Wu Zhong married the princess just a year ago. Various signs from the beginning of his marriage showed that Emperor Chongzhen was a little suspicious. His intention to marry this princess was not to become one of the Manchus, as he said, so that he could serve the Manchus. But he married this princess just to get revenge on this princess. This can be seen from Wu Zhong's words and deeds when there are no outsiders.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but pay more attention to Wu Zhong's movements. If he had not betrayed the Ming Dynasty, as a person who traveled through time in later generations, would he still be convicted of being jumped by an immortal?
On the third day after Wu Zhong's marriage, Emperor Chongzhen discovered that Huang Taiji sent someone to tell Wu Zhong to arrange for Wu Zhong to return to Daming as soon as possible.
However, Wu Zhong suggested to Huang Taiji that the best people must be selected for detailed work, otherwise if they are exposed, many people will be implicated. Wu Zhong gave Huang Taiji a lot of talk about his profession.
Huang Taiji was convinced and ordered Wu Zhong to select candidates who could be used as agents in Liaodong.
Wu Zhong seems to be really working hard, running around regardless of the "newlyweds" and the increasingly cold weather.
Not to mention, Wu Zhong was so busy that Emperor Chongzhen learned more or less about the situation in various places in Jianlu.
At the same time, in Dengzhou, Shandong, it is already very cold here. However, on the military camp grounds, training was still going on in full swing.
On the general stage, the cold wind was also raging. But the tall figure standing in front of the stage watching remained motionless, as if the cold wind didn't exist at all.
In response to this, the person behind him, although it was obvious that he was very warm under his military uniform, was still a little unable to bear it and was shaking hands from time to time.
This person is naturally Zheng Zhilong, a southerner.
In fact, it was not just him, including the Fujian Navy soldiers he brought with him. Many of them were not used to the severe cold in the north and had already fallen ill.
Such cold weather is not uncommon in Fujian. There are always some very cold days in winter. But at that time, Zheng Zhilong and his men usually hid in their own houses or military camps and rarely went out. It's not even like the ones I saw before. It's so cold, but they are still practicing.
Thinking like this, Zheng Zhilong looked at the Ming army soldiers who were training. He saw that each of them was very serious, and he felt a little admiration in his heart. Most of the soldiers here are from bandits. After becoming an officer, I still practiced hard in such cold weather without any complaints. I have to say, it was a bit unexpected.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong looked at the tall figure again. He knew that all of this was inseparable from the governor's love of soldiers as his sons. Since accepting these bandits from the emperor in Jinan Mansion, the Governor has lived and ate with them.
He would eat whatever the big-headed soldiers ate! These bandits had to brave the severe cold to practice their formations, and he, the dignified governor, was accompanying them instead of hiding in a warm room. After all this, it took less than half a month for Zheng Zhilong to feel that these officers and soldiers who were born as thieves were already convinced by the Governor-General.
Thinking of these things, Zheng Zhilong's mind couldn't help but wander again.
Just a few days ago, he had heard the news that his son, Zheng Chenggong, who had been renamed by the emperor, was already studying with the prince. As a father, he was very concerned about it, and he didn't know whether Zheng Chenggong could stand out among so many princes accompanying him.
"General Zheng... General Zheng..."
After Zheng Zhilong was called several times, he finally came to his senses and saw that Lu Xiangsheng had already arrived in front of him. He couldn't help being shocked, and immediately stood up and replied: "The general is here!"
At the same time, he was thinking in his mind, could it be that the Governor came over to teach him a lesson when he saw that he was distracted?
Although Lu Xiangsheng loved his soldiers as much as his son, he was also very strict in managing them, which made Zheng Zhilong feel a little scared.
