Chapter 304 Kill Yang Zongren First

After listening to Zhang Tingyu's words, Xu Yuanmeng couldn't help but sighed. Of course he understood the true meaning of these words. Naturally, no one could stop the Eight Banners of Manchuria from doing what they wanted to do. The Eight Banners of Han may be able to cooperate, but other Han people would not. The same, for them, loyalty to the imperial court and anti-Qing and Han Dynasty is just a choice between thoughts.

Of course, we can't blame Yongzheng and the Eight Banners for having such an idea, but who made the Han people too obedient?Especially after the annihilation of San Francisco, the Qing Dynasty has never felt so ruthless. No matter how serious the troubles were before, there was always no second official shop to choose from. Outside of the Qing Dynasty, there is no other good way.

But since the Fu Han army uprising, this era has really changed.When the Han people had a choice, they became more concerned.They will weigh the Qing Dynasty and the Fuhan Army together, and the comparison is nothing but who can give more money.

No matter how much the Qing Dynasty preaches about the Manchu family, the big guys will not really take it to heart. If they want to buy people's hearts, they can only rely on real money. Take it to bribe the Han people.

Then the problem comes, the Qing Dynasty has no money for the Han people to spend, but the Fuhan Army has it!Don't care how exaggerated this verbal thing is, but the Fuhan army actually paid out millions of taels of silver, and there is no so-called Eight Banners to divide the bulk. All the money belongs to the Han people. Why are the Han people unwilling to take refuge?

"However, the current imperial court is really difficult to come over and weigh the officials comprehensively. You are the order of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You should be more aware of the family background of the Qing Dynasty. Tens of millions of taels are all paper, but they haven't been turned into silver yet!"

Xu Yuanmeng had a bit of distress on his face, although he knew that today's banquet was not a good one, but there was no way to shirk it, it was really a dilemma and it was difficult to weigh.

Zhang Tingyu frowned. He was naturally aware of the current situation of the household department. What Xu Yuanmeng said was indeed true. At the beginning, the payment was made up on the account, but most of the shortfalls were turned into IOUs. That's all, the remaining part of the money that was collected was also spent in front of the matter first.

"Brother Shan, the whole world is now staring at the north and the south. Whether it's the capital or Wuchang, it's just a matter of thought. After all, my Qing Dynasty is still cheering up, and the hearts of the people have not completely dispersed, but the key right now is to be full of people. Hanyi not only needs to be spoken out, but also must be practiced! If the emperor treats the Han people like this, the Manchu family will be destroyed with a single stab!"

"Hengchen, be careful!" Xu Yuanmeng sighed, "The emperor has his own considerations, how did he clean up the Baye Party last time? That is not something that can be persuaded with a few words, it is the emperor who stabilized the banner owners Only by stabilizing them can we stabilize my Qing Dynasty! The world now understands very well that this meat must either cut off the Han people or cut off the Eight Banners! How else can the emperor choose?"

There is indeed no free lunch in this world, and there is no so-called perfect plan for Yongzheng. In order to clean up the Baye Party inside and outside the court, Yongzheng promised many things to the Eight Banners. Those things have not been given yet. If the situation is insufficient, if you want to cut the flesh of the Eight Banners, you can only seek your own death.

Zhang Tingyu also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, sighed immediately, and looked out the window, only to see that snow particles had already fallen outside, covering the ground with a thin layer of ice.

"Brother Shan, if you can cut off the flesh of the Han people to get through the difficulties, the lower officials won't frown at all! But now that I have cleared things up, there is no other way. Chu rebellion is not terrible, the whole world is full of Chu. Rebellion is terrible!"

In this winter, Emperor Yongzheng's heart was as cold as the ice outside the window, his face was extremely solemn, with one hand behind his back, but he was speechless for a long time.

Xu Yuanmeng knelt down on the ground, and said every word Zhang Tingyu said, even the words of disobedience, without any concealment, but the more he talked, the more cold sweat he felt on his body stand up.

"Daqing, is there really no other way now?"

Yongzheng sighed, moving the whole body with one hair, it is the most authentic portrayal of the Qing Dynasty today, from the beginning of clearing the debts of the Ministry of Households, to cracking down on the Baye Party, and now, he Yongzheng seems to be taking one step at a time. The Qing court gradually unified its powers, but the entire Qing Dynasty has now stepped back a few steps.

"The New Army of the Eight Banners must practice. If you don't practice, the Qing Dynasty will be gone. But the people's hearts must be grasped. If we don't grasp the hearts of the Han people, our Eight Banners alone will not be able to maintain it anyway. At that time, we will have a whole body. No chance of returning”

A trace of fear flashed in Yongzheng's eyes. People in the world only knew that Chu Ni had no room to retreat, but Daqing had no room to retreat either.Once the country is handed over, how will the Eight Banners nation with only more than 100 million people deal with it?

Xu Yuanmeng sighed and said: "Zhang Tingyu's meaning is very simple. The Qing Dynasty can no longer put all the pressure on the Han people. In that case, the Han people want power and position. If the dynasty wants to be full of the Han family, they have to really take out their family members. Come with sincerity... If Da Qing can't give it, then it's another Chu Ni!"

Yongzheng was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Why can't I understand in my heart? Chu Ni's banner is to promote the Han people. How can there be a so-called Man Shangshu in the Han court?"

"If the Qing Dynasty wants to restore the unification of the country, we can't really count on the new army of the Eight Banners to be invincible in the world. In the end, we still have to count on the heart of the Han people, which has to be cut from the Eight Banners!"

At the end, Yongzheng's face flashed a flash of determination, and he had already understood that all the luck and evasions are useless, even very terrible, because the most lacking thing for the Fuhan army right now is time , but what the Qing Dynasty lacked was the time to change itself. It can be said that after one of the two sides sorts out the internal affairs, the new national war will not be far away.

But in Xu Yuanmeng's ears, there was a murderous look. You know, cutting the flesh of the Eight Banners is simply cutting your own flesh!Today's Eight Banners system can be said to be the foundation of banner people. Among the more than 100 million people in the entire Eight Banners, how many rely on the Eight Banners system to become a bachelor, general, governor, deputy commander, leader, assistant leader, and leader? , leader, guard.
How many people have gone through the Eight Banners system, and in just a dozen years, they have been directly promoted from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the cabinet, governor, and even local officials in the frontiers? As for the local Taoists and prefects, there are countless , and their contribution is very simple, that is the origin of the Eight Banners.

In contrast, it is even more difficult for Han Chinese scholars to become an official. With decades of hard study, it is even more difficult to pass the exam, let alone It is said that Han scholars all start from the lowest level, and it is even more difficult to rise to a high position.Under such circumstances, the Qing Dynasty had almost no way to win the hearts of the Han people.

The only way is to cut your own flesh to appease the hearts of Han people all over the world.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that, in the face of the current national crisis, the people of the Eight Banners must be able to understand the good intentions of the Emperor."

Xu Yuanmeng seemed to be talking in his sleep, he didn't believe what he said, if the Eight Banners could really understand the emperor's good intentions, why did the situation come to this?
On October 28, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River seemed a bit dense, and the weather began to become extremely cold, but for the current Fuhan army, it had initially completed its goal, which was to swallow the entire south of the Yangtze River.

Starting from the south of the Huaihe River, it has now become the land of the Fuhan Army, and many prefectures and counties north of the Huaihe River have also been occupied. From Fengyang Mansion to Sizhou, and then to Huai'an Mansion, the city has been inserted On the big red banner of the Fuhan Army.

Although during this process, many gentry in the south of the Yangtze River took hostile actions against the Fuhan army, but in the face of cannons and muskets, it is naturally impossible for these rural rich men to have the slightest influence. The servants were also slaughtered one by one, and the remaining property became the spoils of war for the Fuhan army.

But no matter how clean Jiangnan was, what he ate in his mouth was just bits and pieces, which made Ning Yu feel a little unhappy.Fortunately, Ning Yu at this time also began to free himself from the daily sundries, so he turned his eyes to Zhejiang and Fujian, where there was a fat piece of meat that was exuding fragrance, waiting for him to eat it. devour.

"Governor, the battle in the south of the Yangtze River has now been completely won, and the surviving Qing army has also been wiped out. Together with other rebels, our army has wiped out a total of 8000 Qing troops in the past four months. More than 9000 enemies were captured, and a total of 300 million taels of silver was obtained, and the fertile land is even more numerous, roughly estimated to be more than 500 million mu."

Dong Ce had a bit of excitement on his face. This time he made a fortune. The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed unmatched by other places. After the battle, the current Fuhan army was full.

Speaking of which, since the Fuhan army entered the south of the Yangtze River, it has been fighting the Qing army in a serious manner. In fact, it is under the city of Jiangning. After Fan Shiyi was arrested, there was no large-scale counterattack by the Qing army. The worst thing is those gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. They are not loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they don't obey the Fuhan army. They just want to be the little overlords of their own world.

Therefore, in order to get a clean Jiangnan, Ning Yu no longer cares about those so-called bottles and cans. Except for the first division, the other main divisions, including the third division, fourth division, and fifth division , Sixth Division, and Seventh Division, more than 5 people all devoted themselves to the battle to wipe out these gentry, and they won such a big victory.

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, "I didn't take much care of the war this time, you guys did a great job."

Dong Ce was very excited when he heard Ning Yu's rare praise. He gave a military salute and said, "Governor, the army's fighting spirit is available now. Let's go straight and take Zhejiang!"

Speaking of which, now with the help of Sun Wencheng, the inner ghost of Tianzi No. [-], the entire form of Zhejiang is almost completely transparent to the Fuhan Army. This is a rare piece of fat for everyone. Before that, many people had asked Ning Yu to fight, and even the officers and soldiers of the First Division wanted to go further to fight Hangzhou after occupying Jiaxing.

Ning Yu shook his head, "The situation in Zhejiang has developed to this point, and the force of attack has actually become a little bit behind. You can encircle, but you can't fight."

"Could the governor mean to persuade Zhejiang to surrender?" Dong Ce quickly understood what Ning Yu meant, but he was thinking about it in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

"That's right, the situation in Zhejiang should be slow rather than hasty, and slow rather than moving. When I sent the First Division to Jiaxing, I hoped to put pressure on Hangzhou in addition to supporting the Lu family."

Ning Yu stood up, paced slowly, and said with a sneer: "The purpose of sending Sun Wencheng back to Hangzhou was to destroy the Qing government's regiment training strategy and to mediate the Qing court's struggle between Manchu and Han. Now if we can recruit Zhejiang, then we can Completely achieve this goal. With Zhejiang's precedent ahead, Yongzheng may not dare to use Han people anymore."

"In order to better facilitate the surrender to Zhejiang, I am going to bring the Imperial Guard Brigade and the Seventh Division together with the First Division to encircle Hangzhou!"

Hangzhou City has now been completely blocked, and everyone is allowed to enter and not allowed to leave. After the Lu family fled, Li Fu, the governor of Zhejiang, became a little more worried. He also went to the scene to check that day, and everywhere The dead body just made Li Fu frown, but when he knew that there were less than ten Fuhan army spies that day, he gasped.

After all, when Li Fu traveled on weekdays, there were only dozens of guards around him, which meant that as long as the Fuhan army was willing to be ruthless, it was very possible to kill him. Therefore, after returning that day, Li Fu not only added guards to himself, but also blocked the entire city of Hangzhou to ensure safety.

However, no matter how much Li Fu blocks it, there is one person in this city who will not be affected, and that is the current Hangzhou weaving Sun Wencheng.Since he was originally responsible for monitoring Jiangnan, he was very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan, and ordinary blockades would not be able to stop him.

"The governor has ordered you to make every effort to promote peace, and will not choose to attack Hangzhou unless it is a last resort." Ning Luo looked at Sun Wencheng in front of him from a distance, with a trace of dignity on his face.This means that their risk is actually much higher.

When Sun Wencheng heard the news, he only frowned slightly, and then relaxed, "The command of the governor, the subordinates should obey it. But the key to this is still one person."

"Li Fu?"

"It's not him, but Yang Zongren who is still lying on the sickbed. I feel that this person is not that simple. Maybe he has realized that there is an insider of the Fuhan Army in Hangzhou City. He just chose to pretend to be in order to find out this insider." disease, to hide from our sight.”

After Sun Wencheng said that, he became more determined in his own mind, and he let out a breath, "If you want to bring Zhejiang back to surrender, you must kill Yang Zongren, otherwise this person may catch us by surprise at a critical moment! "

"Then kill him"

Ning Luoyuan had a ferocious smile on his face, everyone in the world has seen the assassination methods of the Military Intelligence Department, but when it comes to assassination, the shadow is an expert.
