Chapter 333 Punish against the Qing and calm the hearts of the people

With the entry of the Fu Han army, the situation became clear in an instant. The remaining men in black wanted to break out of the siege, but were hit by shotguns and bows and arrows, and instantly fell to the ground bleeding profusely, crying out in pain. howling.

Huang Dian and Xue Guan walked forward with gloomy expressions, and pulled away the face scarf of one of the men in black, only to see that the man's forehead was bald, and there was a thin rattail braid on the back, and he suddenly became angry. not angry.

"You wait for the Qing Dynasty, dare to be so presumptuous in Nanjing City!"

This matter soon went to Cui Wancai, the second assistant. He looked at the dead bodies of the men in black all over the place, and then looked at the several people who were captured alive. His face was very gloomy at the moment. The attack launched by Da Chu, but such an attack on other missions in Nanjing City, shows the viciousness of his intentions.

Xue Guan's face turned calm at this time, he bowed deeply, and thoughtfully said: "The purpose of the Qing people's attack this time is naturally to hinder our plan, and I hope Master Cui will see clearly."

Huang Dian's eyes lit up on the side, and he also realized that this opportunity is rare, pretending to be annoyed: "The vicious intentions of these Qing people really must be noticed, Your Majesty should also understand that Qing people are untrustworthy, let alone be with them talk."

Cui Wancai sighed slightly in his heart. He really did not expect that the Qing court missions would be so decisive. Before they revealed any news, they decisively attacked the other two missions. Only Zhang Boxing can do it, if it is a child like Yunxiang, I am afraid that he will not be able to make such a determination.

"You two, please rest as soon as possible. The Qing government mission is indeed in Nanjing, but what is going on here still needs to be investigated by the official. Once the result is obtained, the official will naturally not leave it alone."

After hearing this, Xue Guan and Huang Dian looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and then left separately.

But Cui Wancai, who got such a result, was quite puzzled in his heart. He didn't go to the Qing court mission to settle the accounts immediately, but he went to ask Ning Yu to see him, and told Ning Yu everything that happened next. After a while.

At this time, Ning Yu put on a loose robe, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully. Many heroic deeds in the Fuhan army, as well as many deeds of Ningchu officials, are presented in the form of novels, so they are extremely popular in Nanjing.

After listening to Cui Wancai's report, Ning Yu showed no surprise on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Those killers were originally arranged by me. They are indeed Qing people, but they are all captives."

"emperor?"

Now it was Cui Wancai's turn to be surprised. He quickly recalled some things that happened in the past in his mind, but found that he still didn't understand Ning Yu's purpose. What was the purpose of such an assassination?
Seeing Cui Wancai's inner suspicion, Ning Yu outlined a smile on his face, "Hey, the reason this time is just that old fox Zhang Boxing wanted to make a deal with me."

After Cui Wancai heard what Ning Yu said, half of the doubts in his heart were solved. No wonder the Qing court could inquire about the news of the mission. No wonder they were able to organize the assassination of dozens of people in the impenetrable city of Nanjing. It's because the net covering Nanjing is not dense enough, it's because this is just a drama!

"Your majesty is indeed a master of Yi Dao, but the old minister still doesn't understand, this time wasting so much effort, what is the plotter?"

Cui Wancai didn't understand Ning Yu's thoughts. He really didn't see any good from it. Apart from making the enemies who were originally enemies more aggressive, he couldn't see any other uses.

"There are three things to do. First of all, I, Da Chu, can take the lead in getting out of the matter, and take down the southern provinces with peace of mind. After three years of operation, we can build and train a strong army of 20, and then we can completely pacify the world and restore the Han Dynasty. For one."

"Secondly, it's not enough for me, Da Chu, to withdraw. I have to drag the other two into the water. Liu Ruhan wants to Guanzhong and sit back and watch the dragon and the tiger fight. Naturally, I can't let him get what he wants, and we have to let him tear himself apart completely. Tomorrow I will ask people to hand over Yunxiang to the White Lotus Sect and let Zhang Boxing return to Beijing. The identities of the men in black will also be exposed. When the time comes to attack and kill both sides, it will be difficult to turn around. It will be difficult to become what it is today.”

While talking, Ning Yu lowered two of his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Thirdly, I have secretly ordered Cheng Ming to directly raid the Ming army and take Zhu Yigui down! While everyone's eyes are on Nanjing right now, It will be a great thing if the southeast can be completely pacified!"

After speaking, Cui Wancai was convinced. He vaguely guessed something in his heart, and even he understood that Dachu was bound to negotiate a peace, but this peace negotiation is by no means as simple as it is in front of him. To put it bluntly, what Ning Yu wants is another kind of peace. Negotiating peace, Da Chu can stop, you have to continue fighting, so the current situation will appear.

Therefore, the key to this lies in a person whose position is high enough, who, as a representative of the Qing court, has to make the determination to cull the mission, so that this jar of sewage can be completely poured on the Qing court. Counting all the missions of the Qing court, only one person can do it, and that is Zhang Boxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But what is more incomprehensible than this play is that Zhang Boxing was an upright official, and the world knows that when he was an official, all expenses including rice, wheat, vegetables, clothes and even the cows and stone mills for grinding noodles were all from Henan. He was transported from his hometown, and his integrity was even rated as the best in the world by Kangxi, and now he has reached the high position of Minister of the Household Department. It can be said that the Qing court treated him well, so how could he make such a deal with Ning Yu?
Speaking of it, although the Qing government put all the interests in the hands of its own Eight Banners, it still has to be scruples about it. Therefore, since the Kangxi period, the Manchu and Qing courts began to plan to "reuse" Han people, especially those who Famous officials of the Han people who were well-known all over the world were the top priority of the Qing court, like the previous upright official Yu Chenglong, who was a typical example, and even achieved the high position of Governor-General of Liangjiang.

As for other academicians, ministers of ministers, or chief masters of the study, there are also Han people, so as to show that the Qing court attaches great importance to Han people. The Man-Han family is one master and slave. Clear, but Hanchens are also willing to eat, and serving the Qing court is also a good deal.

The problem is, that is the past after all, and now with the rise of the Fu Han army and Yongzheng's coming to power, Hanchen's life is getting better day by day, so the big guy will not just die in such a muddle, With Sun Wencheng and others, it is not surprising that there is Zhang Boxing behind him.

Of course, to be a famous official these days, you must pay attention to dignity, you must have integrity and integrity, but learning to calculate is also indispensable, otherwise if you really fall to the end, the Cao family and the Shi family will become A role model for traitors all over the world.

"Although Zhang Boxing is an upright official, a loyal minister, and a good minister, he is now in his 70s and has a large family to support. If he really follows the Qing court all the way to the end, when my Fuhan army enters the capital, then There is no way to regret it.”

There was a sneer on Ning Yu's face, "Zhang Boxing wanted to be a famous minister, but also a loyal minister, so I gave him such a chance, not only promised his descendants the position of prince, but also let him go back to the capital , let him be Emperor Yongzheng's rites and music officials."

Zhang Boxing could not only preserve his reputation, but also preserve the future of his descendants, so naturally he would not reject Ning Yu's kindness, and as he pushed the boat along the way, he completely forgot the scruples in his heart.

Cui Wancai was stunned. When Zhang Boxing took up the post of Minister of the Household Department, Yongzheng specially gave him a so-called "Minister of Ritual and Music" plaque to show his integrity and integrity, but this famous minister of Rites and Music turned around. It's admirable to give Ning Chu a glance, and secretly assist Ning Yu to do this trick.

"It's good that Mr. Shu Zhai returns to the capital this time, and he can also give an internal response to our army in the future. I'm sure he can get a lot of secrets."

Cui Wancai nodded, although he was very happy in his heart, but could not stop feeling disgusted.

After the assassination broke out, the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards immediately surrounded the Qing court post in broad daylight, and threw out the bodies of those men in black. Tell everyone about the role played by the Qing court behind this assassination.

Except for Zhang Boxing who was in the middle of the game, everyone in the Qing court posthouse thought that their own affairs had been defeated, and even Yunxiang's face was pale. Although this matter was Zhang Boxing's idea, he was the one who made the decision. Myself, the first and last relationship here, I can't get rid of it no matter what.

At this time, Zhang Boxing pretended to be surprised, and angrily reprimanded: "These people have nothing to do with us, how many people came to our post, and how many people are still there today, and now they will participate in such a sinister conspiracy and assassination?"

It's just that his words are naturally extremely weak, and the people present will not believe his clumsy performance, after all, the corpses of those men in black cannot be hidden.

"Forget it, forget it, this king started all these things, please bind this king to see His Majesty."

A scene that everyone, even Ning Yu, didn't expect happened, Yun Xiang actually admitted his guilt in this situation, which is called being upright at best, but at worst is simply asking for death.Only Zhang Boxing, who is familiar with Yunxiang's nature, knows that Yunxiang is indeed very upright in this respect.

Many people looked at Yun Xiang with pity in their eyes, this person is probably not far from death.

When Yunxiang was escorted to Fengtian Hall, Xue Guan and Huang Dian had been waiting for a long time besides the civil and military officials of the great Chu, but Huang Dian looked at Yunxiang with murderous intent in his eyes.But Xue Guan was in a state of deep thought, and he still couldn't understand, especially what Ning Yu did.

According to Xue Guan's previous inference, the peace talks between Ning Chu and the Qing court are now at a critical moment, otherwise the cooperation with the two parties will not be put on hold. There are some tricks in it, but just before the peace talks are concluded , Yunxiang actually ordered people to assassinate the mission, but this approach is in line with Yunxiang's personality, so I won't say more, but Ning Yu is now acting like a public handling, is it true that it is really necessary to completely discuss with the Qing court? At odds?
Just as Xue Guan was thinking wildly, Yunxiang told the story of the assassination in detail, especially in order to collect responsibility, he also attributed the assassination to his own head. In fact, he was very determined in his heart, rather Yu will not kill him.

On this point, Yunxiang and Xue Guan have the same thoughts, but they overlooked one point, that is, there is a Huang Dian beside him, and this person wants to kill Yunxiang before he can. The reason is very simple. To achieve complete peace with Ning Chu, it is necessary to create an opponent that Ning Chu has to fight, and that is the Qing court.

Killing Yunxiang became a very good opportunity.

"Report to Your Majesty, the thief Yunxiang committed violence in the city of Nanjing and killed 27 members of our embassy. It is really rampant. The ministers think that not killing this person is not enough to protect the dignity of Great Chu."

Good fellow, as soon as these words came out, Yunxiang's face changed, and he felt a little uneasy, feeling that something had happened beyond his expectations, and he no longer cared about the prince's dignity, Instead, he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing and banging.

"Xiao Wang is guilty, but if the crime does not amount to death, I hope His Majesty will punish him lightly."

Ning Yu had a slight smile on his face, "It is reasonable to say that I should really take care of this matter, but after all, the sufferer is here now, so no matter how much I take care of it, it will be a bit too much for me, why don't I hand over this power to the second brother?" seat."

"This Yunxiang, do you want him to live or die?"

The faces of everyone soon turned serious, the development of this incident seemed to have exceeded their expectations, and even Xue Guan and Huang Dian's expressions changed, and they soon found themselves in a dilemma Well, it doesn't matter whether you kill Yunxiang or not, but the key is that if you really let him go, how should you explain it when you go back?

Judging from the personalities of Liu Ruhan and Zhu Yigui, if they let go this time, it may be extremely unfavorable to the country. Many people came under the banner of anti-Qing. Now, if they are for a prince of the Qing court, they have completely chosen Tolerance and patience, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to tolerate these two.

"Foreign ministers think that it is up to His Majesty to make a decision on how this incident happened in Nanjing." Xue Guan and Huang Dian said boldly, it is not an easy matter to make up their minds on this matter.

"Then why don't I continue yesterday's discussion?" Ning Yu sneered, now that the carrots and sticks are ready, no matter what, someone will die today.
As soon as Huang Dian gritted his teeth, he immediately said in a low voice: "The foreign ministers request to punish Qingni to calm people's hearts!"

After he finished speaking, he took a look at Xue Guan, only to see that Xue Guan also sighed, and stood up and said: "The foreign minister asks to punish Qingni to calm people's hearts!"
