Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 678 Calculation
The auxiliary government, Prince Jingjin, came out of Beijing, and Xingchi Guanzhong declared Wu Sangui as the king of Pingxi.

When he left Beijing, the emperor's uncle and regent Jierhalang decreed that Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, was granted the title of Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, and he was awarded the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Deputy Capital Censor, and the Governor of Shanxi Xuanda Military Affairs The admiral pays, pays homage to the Duke of the country, and adds the prince and Taibao.

Meng Qiaofang entered the Minister of the Ministry of War, moved to the Governor of Huguang, added the Prince Taibao, and worshiped the Duke of Chu.

"The Tartars also invited Zu Dashou out?"

"Fart, it's just a name, how could the Tartars believe in celebrating the ancestor's birthday, but now they want to use Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, and they are afraid that Wu Sangui will not obey the order, so they invite the ancestor of the Guan Ning Army's Zu Dashou. "

In the city of Beijing, a small shop on the west side of the street.

Lao Song and the four brothers of the Song family were talking behind closed doors.

Speaking of Zu Dashou, Song Heng was full of disdain. Zu Dashou was a general of Liaodong for generations. Under Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of governing Liao with the Liao people guarding the Liao land and using the Liao soil to support the Liao people, the Chongzhen Dynasty gathered the power of the whole country to create a The Liao army is also commonly known as the Guanning army because it is stationed at the Guanning Jin defense line.

Zu Dashou was a general in Liaodong, and he was more famous for his bravery, so he was reused by Yuan Chonghuan.When Nurhachi fought Ningyuan, Zu Dashou participated in the battle. Yuan Chonghuan officially took charge of Liaodong, directly let Zu Dashou guard Jinzhou, and put on the seal of Liao forward general.

Wu Xiang, another general in Liaodong, married Zu Dashou's younger sister after his wife died, so Wu Sangui, born to his ex-wife, was also called Uncle Zu Dashou.

Yuan Chonghuan trusted Zu Dashou very much, and he also used Liaodong generals very much. But later, Huang Taiji could not defeat Jinzhou, nor could he defeat Ningyuan, so he detoured into the pass and went straight to Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan's defense line of Guan Ningjin was bypassed. I had no choice but to bring soldiers to escort the king.

But the young Emperor Chongzhen quit. You said that in the five years of Ping Liao, money was given to money, people were given to people, and officials were given to officials. In the end, the power of the whole country came up with this?

You have so many soldiers and horses, why did you let the tartars run directly to the city of Beijing?
The suspicious Chongzhen sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison directly. When Zu Dashou saw it, he ran away with Guan Ningjun in fright.But after Yuan Chonghuan's death, Zu Dashou didn't believe in the emperor anymore, and never left the barracks.

In the battle of Dalinghe, Zu Dashou was besieged in the city for several months, and finally ate up all the peasants. He was unable to fight out after breaking through the siege many times, and no reinforcements came. Finally, he had to accept the persuasion of the Tartars and Kaesong surrendered.

But after the surrender, Zu Dashou said that his wife and children were in Jinzhou, and he was willing to take a team back to Jinzhou to respond. Huang Taiji happily agreed, but as soon as Zu Dashou left, he became a kite with a broken string.

Chongzhen praised Zu Dashou's false surrender, and summoned him to Beijing several times to reward him face to face, but Zu Dashou would not move anyway, not only did he not trust Huang Taiji, he also did not trust Chongzhen at all.

In the Cotton Brocade War, 10,000+ elite Ming army was defeated by the Qing army. Zu Dashou was besieged again in Jinzhou. The siege lasted for more than a year. He once again ate people and defended the city. In the end, he had no choice but to surrender again.

After the second surrender, Huang Taiji did not kill him, but awarded him a soldier of the Xianghuang Banner, but he no longer trusted and used him, and stayed in Beijing.After the Qing army entered the customs, Dorgon also deliberately took him to Beijing to raise him.

His nephew Wu Sangui had a successful official career and was granted the title of King Pingxi. Several of his adopted sons even served as commander-in-chief and admirals, but Zu Dashou could only hold the rank of commander-in-chief and had been 'recovering' in the capital.

In history, Zu Dashou stayed in Beijing until his death, and never used it again, was never promoted to an official, and was never conferred a title.

However, Zu Dashou had high prestige among the generals of the Han Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the two major groups of generals of the Han Dynasty were the Dongjiang Group headed by Sanshun Wang Kong Youde and the Guanning Group headed by Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui.

The two teams are the main strikers among the Tatars, and they have made great contributions to the Tartars' destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also deeply trusted.

Those who can be knighted are basically people from these two mountains.

So even if the Tartars don't trust Zu Dashou, but they are afraid of Zu Dashou, they have to hold their noses and appease him, and dare not cut him down.

"Although Zu Dashou paid homage to the Governor-General Xuanda, he neither went to Xuanhua, nor Datong, nor Shanxi. He is still in the Zu family's house in Beijing. His adopted son Zu Kefa, nephew Zu Zerun, and three His own sons, Zepu, Zehong, and Zeqing were all conferred first-class Marquis titles, and each was awarded the title of admiral and commander-in-chief.

It was Shi Tingzhu who actually went to Shanxi, who was granted the title of Duke of Jin, Prince Taifu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and served as the governor of Shanxi.Tong Yangdai was the deputy capital commander stationed in Taiyuan, and his younger brother Tong Yanghe was the deputy capital commander stationed in Datong.

The second son of the Regent Jierharang was named Prince Jian, and the third son, Ledu, was named Prince Min. Each of them had the title of Shangshu in the Ministry of War. With Meilezhangjing Ahanikan and Shuozhan as lieutenants, he led the left and right wings and commanded Xuanda Shanxi soldiers and horses. "

"The two sons of Jierharang are not very old, are they?"

"The second child is only in his early twenties, and the third child is only sixteen or seventeen years old."

Speaking of this, Lao Song was even more disdainful, and the Tartars were exhausted. The three brothers Dorgon, Duoduo, and Azig were killed by their own people, and then Haoge was also killed by them. Daishan died of old age, Boluo died in battle, how many people in the clan can fight?

Luck Dehun said he could fight, but he was surrounded in Yingzhou and couldn't move.

The Manchu warrior Oboi was also trapped in the Qinling Mountains.

Ji Erhalang monopolized the regent power. During this period, he invited a bunch of princes and county kings, Daishan had eight sons, and eight princes were named in Bafang, and the two princes were only five years old.

Jierharang didn't miss this opportunity either. His sons didn't care whether he was old or young. The three who had reached the age of sixteen were all named princes, and those who were a few years old were also named county kings.

This is a perfect image of subjugation.

Now Jierhalang is based in Beijing and is preparing to move the capital to Chengde.

Prince Nikan, the assistant government, went to Huguang to preside over the situation, and Jierharang asked Ahanikan and Shuozhan to assist his two sons in guarding Shanxi.

Yue Le, Prince An of the auxiliary government, was stationed in Beijing and Tianjin.

······
Zhang Ji, the governor of Shanxi Liangdao, was promoted.

He has been in office for less than two years, and he has earned several 10 taels of silver. Seeing that the situation is not good, he planned to call it sick and resign and wash his hands. Who knew that the imperial court ordered him to be promoted to Shanxi chief envoy.

The new governor, Shi Tingzhu, is also an old acquaintance. He used to be stationed in Taiyuan. Jiang Yu rebelled in Datong. Later moved to Taiyuan.

Although the official titles after entering the customs are not as good as Wu Sangui and others, but in terms of seniority, he is definitely an old traitor. He was originally a garrison in the Guangning Guard of the Ming Dynasty. Jin, awarded the post of guerrilla.

He said that he was originally from the Jurchen Guerjia family. Like the Tong family, the Tong family also said that his family was originally from the Jurchen Tongjia family, but his ancestors later mixed with the Han people in Liaodong, so they changed their surname to Han. Please restore the old surname, but Nurhachi ignored it.

However, after Shi Tingzhu surrendered to the captives, he was resourceful and resourceful. He experienced three dynasties and made great military achievements.

Although later, because Dodo wanted to take the daughter of his ex-wife as a concubine, a big case was triggered, and many princes and generals were reprimanded and demoted, but after all, he was old, and even later Dodo married his daughter to his son .

Now that the situation is critical, Jierhalang also proposed to use this old traitor, and asked him to serve as the governor of Shanxi for the red flag inlaid with the mountain.

He was chosen to be the governor of Shanxi because he made great military achievements in Shanxi when he defeated Jiang Yu. He slaughtered several cities and wiped out many rebels.

Zhang Ji used to work for the Shanxi Grain Road, secretly engaged in grain smuggling business, and even engaged in smuggling business such as horse fur with the eight major Shanxi merchants. In fact, Shi Tingzhu was a part of it.

Not only do you have to manage filial piety, but you also have shares.

Now that Shi Tingzhu was directly promoted from a garrison general to a governor, he immediately remembered Zhang Ji as soon as he was caught by the military and government. He had given him a lot of money in the past two years, and through Zhang Ji's white gloves, he had made a lot of money.Therefore, there was no need for Zhang Ji to bribe and give gifts at all. He directly recommended Zhang Ji to Beijing, saying that he was extremely capable and well-behaved.

Beijing can't care about the place at this time, so if Shi Tingzhu recommends it, let the Ministry of Officials appoint officials.

Liang Dao was promoted to chief executive, which was a leapfrog promotion.

Due to the tense situation, the imperial court even made Zhang Ji not need to go to the capital to thank the emperor and the regent, nor to go to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities, but to take office directly in Shanxi.

But Zhang Ji is a sensible person.

You don't need to go to this capital, but the gift that should be given is not less than a penny.

This is the secret of his official career, and he is an expert in gift giving, so he took out his secret notepad and began to draw up a gift list.

Soon, the list was drawn up, and he checked it carefully for a long time, and finally calculated that after all the places in Beijing were sorted out, at least 5000 taels of silver would have to be given as a gift.

People don't have to go, but the ceremony must come.

If any yamen in Beijing is left behind, there will be big problems.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ji planned to add 5000 taels and prepare 2 taels of silver for management. He called his son and a confidant master and asked him to bring 2 taels of silver to Beijing for management.

"This is 3000 taels of silver. I will give you extra expenses on the road and in Beijing. I will give you a team of family guards. Don't delay on your way. Be careful. Be sure to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible to get things done!"

He also wrote many letters and asked his son to take him to Beijing.

After sending his son away, he began to draw up another list, which was a gift for the Shangguan in Shanxi. Although he was promoted to the chief envoy, there were still many mothers-in-law above him, the governor, governor, inspector, and the Manchu and Han generals stationed Wait, everything has to be sorted out.

Even the officers and soldiers of each battalion had to prepare a sum of money.

As for Shi Tingzhu, an old friend of the new governor, he has to show more filial piety.

This time when he got the new job, the money was spent like running water, but Zhang Ji didn't feel distressed anymore, and he didn't need to borrow money. He now has money in his hand, and with this new job, he will continue to make money in the future.

Although it is not as important as the location of the grain road, as long as his net is still there, the business will still be done when he is the chief envoy.

After drawing up the gift list of 1 taels of silver, he thought about it, and prepared another 8000 taels of silver.

The 8000 taels were specially prepared to be given to partners such as Tu Guobao, Ma Guozhu, Yang Guowei, and Zhang Ding on the east side of Taihang Mountain. Without them, he would not have earned so much money from this business.

Sitting there and thinking for a while, he decided to visit Shi Tingzhu first, and then go out of Jingxing to secretly visit the two of Tuguo, BMW and Guozhu.

Zhang Ji doesn’t care too much about whether Duliangdao is still the chief envoy. What he cares about is making money. Daqing is about to perish. Multiple escape routes.
