golden scales

When Zhu Cihong entered the Jin Palace, everything seemed like a lifetime away.When he evacuated from Shanxi that day, he was considered the most leisurely, so he had the opportunity to count the losses. Looking at the large number of people and supplies that could not be taken away, his heart ached.Now that I came back again, I saw the Shanxi folks kneeling to greet me that day, and I couldn't help feeling emotional.

The crown prince's Xingyuan was still located in the Prince Jin's Mansion, and Zhu Cihong still lived in the same room he lived in last time—that is, the place where Meng Qiaofang was suffocated to death.

Yizhimei blamed herself for this, because she accidentally ended Meng Qiaofang's life in the main house. Wouldn't this add trouble to the crown prince?Fortunately, the crown prince didn't have the slightest grievance, and specially summoned Zhimei to encourage him, and personally bestowed the waist card of Jinyiwei Qianhu.But Iljimae envied the epaulets of those generals, hoping to be transferred to the combat troops.

"This time to recover Taiyuan, you used your strength alone to contain the enemy chieftain and finally killed him. If this is on the battlefield, you must have a battalion of troops. Think about it, you are equivalent to me training a battalion. How can I let you be transferred?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joked.

Yizhimei was so encouraged that her heart was agitated, and her determination to serve the crown prince became more and more firm.

"After the world is settled down, Jinyiwei will also carry out reforms, and the military rank system will also be adopted, so you still have a chance to carry the golden emblem on your shoulders." Zhu Cihong comforted.

Xu Dun was also secretly happy when he heard the words. After all, from the visual effect point of view, the military uniform with epaulets looks much more powerful.

Having seen the heroes of the secret front, Zhu Cihong left Xu Dun alone, and asked bluntly, "Does Jiang Tun have eyes around him?"

"Have."

"Instigating against Jiang Yu. As long as he can send me Duoduo's head, not only will the past be forgiven, but he can also be crowned king!" Zhu Cihong said.

Xu Dun knew that if Jiang Tuan really dared to take over this "king", he would not be far from the time when the family would be wiped out.But there are always more idiots than eggs in this world. Who can guarantee that they will not lose their sanity under the weight of profit?

Speaking of it, Jiang Guan should have a lot of chances to kill Duoduo.Now there are few Manchu people, and a large number of Han people are relied on.Although Jiang Tuan did not raise the flag, all of his trilogy were changed to Green Camp, and the Qing court still handed over Datong to him, which is not a treat.If Jiang Tuan invited Duoduo to a banquet, Duoduo would not be too guarded.

However, in addition to these advantages, there is also the danger of failure to instigate rebellion.Although Jiang Yu would turn against the Qing Dynasty and descend to the Ming Dynasty later, it was already the winter of the fifth year of Shunzhi at that time.The direct trigger was that Azig robbed the bride of Jiang Guan's subordinates. Jiang Guan failed to ask for it, so he simply led people into Azig's mansion and killed everyone he saw, scaring Azige to escape over the wall.

The deeper reason is that the Qing army wiped out silver and looted in Datong, which accumulated deep public anger.If the Qing court could achieve "a family of Manchus and Hans" and "raise the common people" as they advertised, who would want to rebel against Jiang Tuan?Thinking back to the time when Jiang Yu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered, but carefully arranged and deployed it for a long time, it was simply a miniature "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is not as childish as the change of Wuzi.

Now Jiang Yu and the Qing court may still be in the honeymoon period, and the Qing court has no chance to owe more evil debts to the people of Datong. Is there enough internal driving force for him to rebel against the Qing at this time?Zhu Cihong was not sure about this.

Xu Dun felt that it would not be difficult to instigate Jiang Tuan.He first analyzed Jiang Guan's character. This person is completely selfish and has no integrity to speak of, let alone a heart of gratitude.When Jiang Guan surrendered to Li Chuang and escaped, Li Ziben wanted to kill him, saying clearly: "Zhu Ming treats you well, but you betray your master and seek glory, what use is such an unfaithful person to keep you! "

Li Zicheng already had the hope of a real dragon at that time, and it was time to shape his image and encourage people's hearts, so he naturally wanted to use unfaithful people like Jiang Yan to sacrifice to the flag.Thanks to Zhang Tianlin's intercession for Jiang Yu, Li Zicheng kept Jiang Yu's life because of Zhang Tianlin's face.However, as soon as Li Zicheng withdrew from Yanjing, Jiang Guan killed his savior Zhang Tianlin and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Could such a person know how to write the word "loyalty"?It is nothing more than to see if the price of betrayal is enough to make him tempted.

A prince, no matter what, is enough.

……

When the news of Taiyuan's recovery reached Jinan, it was natural that the court was full of joy, even surpassing the enthusiasm for recovering Henan.This is also because Shanxi is the barrier of the capital, and being able to recover Taiyuan is undoubtedly one step closer to the capital.

Maybe it is possible to return directly to Yanjing without having to go to Nanjing to squeeze in the position of court.

At the same time, Yanjing did not have a good time.

Although Meng Qiaofang's status is not as good as that of Hong Chengchou, she is one of the few officials in the Qing Dynasty who can govern the people.I have to admit that there were many powerful generals in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but there were only a handful of people who could read and write.Dorgon and Jierhalang didn't want to see the new generation of Manchuria spend time in the officialdom, clinging to the principle of "establishing the country with bow and horse", which determined that they could only cooperate with the Han landlords.

Now the non-cooperation of the Han landlords is becoming more and more obvious. This is undoubtedly the most troublesome problem after Dorgon's comeback.

"I have only a total of more than 1 Manchurian cavalry, and I have to conquer the world of fifteen provinces. Evenly divided, each province does not even have [-] people. If the Han people refuse to surrender, what should I do?" Dorgon endured the headache In pain, he summoned a group of loyal servants to ask about politics in Prince Rui's residence.

As Dorgon regained power, those who left before also showed signs of turning around.As a bannerman, Song Hongye is also qualified to participate in this meeting.He witnessed Dorgon's frail appearance with his own eyes, and his heart was full of expectations.

"My lord, even barbarians are unreliable!" Tan Tai said violently, "Instead of waiting for them to rebel, it is better to follow the old Khan's story and kill them all!"

Song Hongye stared at Tan Tai, seeing that Tan Tai seemed to be aware of looking towards him, and quickly lowered his head.

"What's the use of just killing." Suksaha said: "My Qing Dynasty wants to live a good life in the pass for thousands of years. Do I want to learn from the Mongols in the past, killing blood like rivers, even 100 years? Didn’t they get driven back to the grassland by the Han people?”

"Exactly! My Daqing still has to be gentle, let the people know that my Daqing is better than Zhu Ming, and they will naturally support our Manchus as emperors."

"However, Zhu Ming has been the emperor for 300 years, and the country has been in peace for a long time. It is nothing more than the natural disasters in the past 20 years [***]. How can we make the people think that I am better than Zhu Ming?" Some Manchus themselves did not believe it.

Song Hongye thought to himself: Although this natural disaster has nothing to do with you, most of the [***] is caused by you.

"Let's call Mr. Hong back and ask." Dorgon sighed.

"Master, Hong Chengchou is suspicious!" Everyone shouted.

Ever since Hong Chengchou's name was not listed on the list of Han annihilation, his reputation in Beijing has become more and more strange.Song Hongye knew that there must be something wrong with this, because Hong Chengchou was not the only Hanchen who led the army.

For example, Meng Qiaofang, also a bannerman of the Han army, served as the governor of Datong, Shanxi; Wu Sangui went too far, letting the Qing soldiers enter the pass with the honor of King Guangning; ... None of these people were listed as Han Jian, so why is it that only Hong Chengchou is suspected of having ulterior motives?

If it is said to be the operation of the Golden Scale Society, it doesn't feel like it.Song Hongye recalled the order he received yesterday: spread the news that Meng Qiaofang is not dead in Beijing.If the prince also wants to drive a wedge between Hong Chengchou and the Manchurians, why not leave it to him to do it together?

Presumably there is another black hand behind the scenes.

This fruitless meeting soon came to an end. The Manchurian ministers returned to their respective yamen one after another, staring in a daze at a pile of incomprehensible copywriting, and then pretended to say to the Han ministers and ministers: "Let's wait Discussion." Then he took the time to escape home to enjoy himself.

"Song Hongye, follow me." Dorgon called out his name suddenly.

Song Hongye knew his identity, he was Dorgon's spy, responsible for detecting disobedient Manchu and Han officials in the capital.Previously, the main work was aimed at the two yellow flags, but now it seems that it is going to turn to the Han officials.

Dorgon ordered someone to take Song Hongye into the back room, and he came over after a while, with a strong fragrance on his body, obviously going to "change clothes".Although he learned to use "changing clothes" instead of "convenience", he also learned to burn incense in the toilet, but it is still too complicated for Manchus to change clothes when going to the toilet.

--vulgar.

Song Hongye secretly despised him in his heart. (To be continued.)
