golden scales

Tan Tai is a member of Zhenghuang Banner, Huang Taiji's confidant, and one of the [-] ministers who participated in burning incense to serve Fulin that day.Now he is unequivocally on the side of Dorgon, obviously betraying the two yellow flags, and immediately attracts the glaring glances of Sony, Aobai and others.

Only then did Ai Xing realize that she was on the wrong team!He regretted in his heart, and blamed this uncle, since the Shu Mulu family chose the Nine Kings, why didn't they give vent to their own family?How can this situation be restored now?Under Song Hongye's guidance, he had already enjoyed the sweetness brought by the commanding position of the infantry, so how could he be willing to offend Dorgon for this!

"Tan Tai! You villain!" Aobai scolded angrily.

"In front of the master, how decent is your slave!" How could Tan Tai be afraid of such a stunned young man?Immediately yelled back.

Dorgon was also quite surprised by Tan Tai's refuge, but he was also very happy.The Shu Mulu family is not a small clan in Zhenghuang Banner, and the network of old friends, in-laws, and disciples is also very impressive.More importantly, Tan Tai took refuge in public, abruptly creating conditions for Dorgon to cut into the two yellow flags to create a riot.

"Oboi has robbed too much land and coats, so he dare not fight!" Ai Xing'a also didn't care about Oboi's reputation as "Batulu".

To put it bluntly, Oboi at this time is just a Ba Ya La Tiao Zhang Jing, and he is considered a high-ranking figure in the eyes of outsiders, but in the Qing Dynasty when he was struggling with his father and grandfather, he could only take the title of "Batulu" himself. comfort.

Oboi was proud of his bravery, when he heard someone say that he was timid, he was naturally furious, and was about to scold Ai Xing back, when he heard...

"What a system!"

Dorgon sees Ai Xing'a and sees the wind and turns the rudder to himself. Of course, he can't let Ao Bai show off his prestige again.He slapped the armrest heavily, got up and cursed: "It's all selfishness! It's all selfishness! I have only one hundred thousand soldiers in Manchuria, and it's easy to conquer fifteen provinces! You only know that you have more people under your banner, Occupy a little more land, and forget the hardships of Xian Khan's Thirteen Armored Armies!"

As soon as Dorgon moved out of Xianhan Nurhaci, the high-ranking veterans couldn't bear to speak, and the low-ranking young people didn't dare to speak. It was just like the court hall in the market that was noisy just now and suddenly fell silent.

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Han Chenban, and said, "Mr. Hong, what do you think?"

Hong Chengchou walked out of the shift slowly, sincerely unwilling to get involved in the infighting of the Manchurians.He was fed up with factionalism in Daming, but he didn't expect the same in Manchuria.

The party struggles in Ming Dynasty were fairly well-regulated. Except for the eunuchs who killed a few Donglins, the others just had to beg for rest and release them, leaving the political center. If they were unlucky, they would just be imprisoned by the emperor.However, the party struggle in Manchuria is really head-scratching. Before the dispute, Daishan even killed his second son Shuotuo and grandson Adali because they supported Dorgon's succession.

"I remember that on the twelfth of last month, Zhang Cunren, the ancestor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who participated in politics, said: Shandong is the way of grain transportation, and Shanxi is the way of merchants. It is urgent to recruit. If the soldiers and people of the two provinces belong to our territory, the wealth There is no shortage of wealth, and the country is not in short supply." Hong Chengchou, who had studied in the senior class of Party Struggle, first pulled up his shield and said it without leaking, and then said: "I think that the ancients paid attention to speed and vigor in using troops, so it is indeed necessary to send troops as soon as possible and take Jin into the army. Lu Second Province."

Dorgon was named "Rui" because of his cleverness.Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he was immediately refreshed, and secretly admired: In a simple sentence, he jumped from the scramble for power and profit on the flags to the level of thinking about the country and society!It is worthy of being an important minister who even Chongzhen wanted to set up an altar to worship!

"The army moved lightly and rashly. If the battle fails, what should we do if we lose Yanjing!" Sonny asked.

"That's why we have to send troops to attack, otherwise, when Ni Chuang and the Ming Dynasty have recovered their vitality, and then lead the army to come, our Manchurian soldiers are not good at defending the city, and we will suffer even more." Hong Chengchou said lightly, leaving Sony speechless. Word.

Although Sony is proficient in multiple languages ​​and is a rare talent among Manchurians, he is still unable to meet Hong Chengchou's all-round talent in civil and military affairs.He also knew that since the founding of Manchuria, there has never been a precedent for a follower to prevent the commander of the army from sending troops, so he had to retreat and say: "I want to protect the food road with two yellow flags and wait for the Holy Son of Heaven. How can I divide the troops to fight on both sides?" The meaning is to let the two white flags fight against Li Zicheng's million-strong army by themselves.

Most of the Manchurians' assessment of Li Zicheng's strength was based on the testimony of the Ming Dynasty's demotion.Those civil servants who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, of course, would speak without restraint about how powerful Li Zicheng's army was, and how large the number was.

Although the Manchurians were victorious in the Battle of Piece of Stone, Li Chuang had already fought Wu Sangui for two days at that time, and it was a surprise, so it was impossible to tell Li Chuang's strength from this.Dorgon knew this very well, and he was inevitably a little entangled in his heart.

More importantly, if the two yellow flags refuse to go, then the two white flags cannot be easily dispatched, otherwise what will happen to the "unowned wasteland" surrounded by Gyeonggi?

Hong Chengchou bowed slightly, and said: "My lord, you can send envoys to Shanxi and Shandong to appease you first. If you don't follow suit, you can use two partial divisions to go out. The army can only be decided after the holy car arrives in Yanjing."

"The flames of the Shun thief are still alive, I'm afraid it's not enough to have only partial teachers." Duoduo said.

What kind of vicious eyes Hong Chengchou has, just from the fact that Li Zicheng didn't even defend Yanjing, he knows that he will inevitably cast a net all over the country, even if there are millions of troops, it will be difficult to win.At this time, it was time to go to Xi'an and go straight to Li Chuang's lair.As long as the city of Xi'an is broken, the short-lived Shunchao will be a mess, no matter how capable Li Zicheng is, he will not be able to gather people together.

"Recently, a book from the South was passed down to the capital, saying: All the ministers in the Southern Capital thought that the king of Pingxi imitated the allusion that the old Tang Dynasty borrowed from Huihe, and led us to the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs to destroy the thieves." Destroying the Ni Chuang, returning to welcome the Ming Emperor's banner, naturally there is no need to fight against Li Thief and Remnant Ming at the same time. It has only been ten months since the rebellion invaded and stolen the country, and the hearts of the people have not been attached. If our army uses Zhu Ming's banner, it will be easier to march."

"What if Ming Dynasty doesn't believe it!" Sony asked forcefully.

"That should have sent a call from the south." Hong Chengchou said, feeling sad in his heart.Anyway, the Ming Dynasty was also his home country, and it is really embarrassing to have such a situation now.

Dorgon made a calculation in his mind, and laughed loudly: "Mr. Hong is really a great talent! If so, let Fang Dayou appease Shandong! Aixing, you take people to Changping and take in the surrendered soldiers! As for Shanxi, wait and move."

Fang Dayou is a new civil servant, if he fails to appease him, he will be killed alone.If the conciliation is successful, it will be a worthless transaction.Since Hong Chengchou spoke so calmly, he was sure of it.At present, as long as the candidates for the partial division are finalized, when the time comes to really fight, if the two yellow flags dare not fight, they will just kill a few Liwei.

After all, Song Hongye's status is too low, and he is not qualified to participate in such high-end political struggles.He only felt that the Manchurians were barbarians and barbarians, and that the temples were so vulgar and put everything on the surface.

"Song Shilang, wait a moment."

After the dynasty was over, Song Hongye was stopped by Ai Xing'a.

Ai Xing said with lingering fear: "Today is really dangerous. I didn't expect my uncle to turn against me in front of the battle, causing me to lose my sense of proportion in front of the prince. Sigh, I don't know what the prince ordered me to collect Luo Changping's troops."

Song Hongye said with a smile: "Young Lord scolded that Oboi, His Highness was very happy, that's why he gave you this good job."

"Oh? Why is it a beautiful job?" Aixing asked as he walked.

Song Hongye said with a smile: "Now that Manchuria has entered the customs and has accepted so many Han officials, even if you Manchus are unwilling, you will inevitably practice the Han system."

Ai Xing thought about it, and said: "There is no need to hide it. As early as the time of the late emperor, he had to implement the Han system several times. If the prince wants to go further, he can only rely on the Han system."

Song Hongye staggered, he didn't expect that Ai Xing looked stupid, but in fact he had a unique vision!

According to the old system of Manchuria, all the seized items were divided into the public center and the banner in proportion.The public income is naturally the national fiscal revenue, and the income under the banner is distributed to people according to their merits.However, the matter of privately hiding spoils has never been cut off from beginning to end. It is a common surname of Manchu nobles to harm the public and enrich private interests. This obviously does not make Dorgon, who sits in the public office, happy.

If he really wants to seize the throne in the future, Dorgon is bound to reform the system, and follow Huang Taiji's track to further weaken the power of the Eight Banners and increase the power of the emperor.Dealing with a group of officials in the court is far easier than dealing with banner owners who hold military power, population, and territory.So on this point, no matter how much Dorgon hated Huang Taiji, he must persist.

"According to the Han people's system, all the surrendered soldiers gathered will be classified as public property, and will not be anyone's private property." Song Hongye explained: "At this time, the importance of the young master's position has come to light. As long as these people make up If you enter the patrolling camp, you are the young master's man. These days, the property under your name may not be your own, but what you can use is really your own."

Only then did Ai Xing think deeply, nodded again and again, patted Song Hongye on the shoulder generously, and said, "You can go with me too."

Song Hongye was overjoyed. Isn't this a better opportunity to systematically mix sand into the Donglu?With this opening, any number of people in that "Yuanming" can be admitted in, as long as they are crowned with the name of Changping Jiangbing!

"Thanks to the great love of the young master, Hongye is very grateful!" Song Hongye immediately bowed down.

Aixing held Song Hongye, and said: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so don't be so polite, hahaha!"

Song Hongye showed his loyalty again, hurried home, dragged his "beautiful wife" into the bed, and asked her to send the military information obtained at today's court meeting to Dongyue Temple.He also contacted Xu Dun, codenamed "Yuanming", and asked him to arrange manpower to rush to Changping as soon as possible to join the army.

Xu Dun has money to open the way, so naturally there is no problem. (To be continued.)
