golden scales

"I don't know if it's true or not. What's the matter with a grown-up who fainted in front of his ministers repeatedly?" Bumubutai said in an indifferent way when he heard the news that Dorgon had fainted again.She originally supported Dorgon, and it was precisely because Dorgon blocked Hauge that Fulin had a chance to become emperor.But Dorgon has been unable to stabilize the country for a long time, and today he said that there are traitors around the emperor. Doesn't this mean that her harem is not cautious?

Su Mo'er knew what the Empress Dowager meant, and followed suit: "The Ninth Master's body and bones are so weak. After entering the customs, I heard that he was wasted on those little waves day and night, even the iron-clad people can't bear it." Ah. Tsk tsk, look around the Ninth Master, there is really only a Taixi woman missing."

When Bumbutai remembered that he almost married such a man, he was completely incomparable with Huang Taiji, and felt a little more fortunate in his heart.She said: "I don't have a good foundation, and I don't know restraint. This is a joke with my own life. But he still holds the power of the court. Isn't this taking the emperor's country seriously? I think, I still have to ask Prince Zheng is back."

The status of Manchurian women is not low, especially a woman like Bumbutai with a background and her own style.Rather than saying how much political wisdom she has, it is better to say that the forces she represents today make people have to consider her opinions.

As the daughter of Horqin Baylor, behind Bumbutai is the entire Horqin Mongolia.

Thinking of the successive bad news, Bumbutai also felt lingering fear.

Wu Sangui, who was named the King of Guangning by the Ming and Qing dynasties, finally revealed his true face as a repeated villain. On September 18, [-]th year of Chongzhen, he contacted the Ming army in Hanzhong and Tongguan to plot an uprising.Of course, before that, he had secretly trusted Zhu Cihuang, hoping to get a chance to return to the original place.

……

"I'm afraid I can't go back outside the pass with this little bargaining chip." After reading the letter, Zhu Cihong said, "But maybe we can give him a chance and keep Wang Jue."

"Your Highness. Wu Sangui has committed the crime of betraying the king and treason no matter what he says. If he doesn't even lose his title, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the hearts of the world." You Shiwei paused slightly, and then said: "It is said that a thousand gold is worth a bone, Your Highness This can be regarded as the bone of gold."

Zhu Cihong was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Wu Sangui's character can't be seen more clearly in his past and present lives.If you say that he is talented, you can only say that he is considered a high-ranking general among the generals of the Ming Dynasty.But even this talent comes with great uncertainty and ambitions that don't match it.

Zhu Cihong didn't want to fight another civil war with the feudal town after more than ten years of peace in the world.

"Your Highness, the old minister is useless in political affairs, so it's better to ask the cabinet." You Shiwei was worried that the young man would be stubborn, so he had to drag the cabinet into it.

Thinking about it, Zhu Cihong really had more political significance than military significance, and he was doomed to be a professional manager by only relying on logic.Only by being able to see the political trade-offs clearly.He is a qualified emperor.Because of Wu Sangui's sensitive identity, Zhu Cihong finally sent a fast horse to Jinan to consult the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting followed Zhending Xingyuan, Jiang Dejing rushed to Zhihuai, and the only elders in Jinan were Li Yuzhi and Wu Wei.The two were happy to see that there was hope to regain Guanzhong without bloodshed, but on the other hand they were worried about Wu Sangui's capriciousness.As for whether Wang Jue keeps it or not, he doesn't care.

"When the world is settled, Wu Sangui will naturally have to write a letter requesting to resign as the king." Wu Sheng rushed to Zhending himself.Facing Chen Jiyi: "When the time comes, His Highness just needs to make a promise."

Zhu Cilang felt that this assertion lacked evidence, and asked: "He still hopes to return to the original status. Will he be willing to resign himself from the king in the future?"

"Your Highness," Wu Xuan said with a smile, "if he refuses to resign, the censors will force him to make such a gesture with knives and pens."

When Emperor Gao set up a big case back then, could it be that he took up the sword himself?

Zhu Cihong knew it all, and felt that he was still a little inexperienced on the political battlefield.

Sun Chuanting, who was also invited here, also said: "Your Highness. This time the Eastern captives are rebellious, and Liaodong has to go back. In the future, Liaodong and Jingdong will be under the control of our army, and Wu Sangui will be trapped in Liaoxi. It is not easy to be a man. He will also be in a state of panic all day long, and write a letter requesting the removal of the feudal clan as a temptation."

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but nodded.This inference is confirmed by "history".Wu Sangui was so cautious that he was almost timid.Often suffers from paranoia of persecution—although Kangxi really wanted to cut down the feudal clan during the San Francisco Rebellion.

"The meaning of the two old gentlemen seems to be that they agree to retain his title, and even allow him to return to the feudal state." Zhu Cihong heard the meaning of the two of them.

"That's true, but don't make too much publicity." Wu Sheng said: "Things are raging, so we should proceed with caution."

"What I'm afraid of is that Wu Sangui will flaunt himself, and the world will know about it." Zhu Cihong remembered Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's similar words in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and wanted to trick Liu Bei into Jiangdong to get married.As a result, Zhuge Liang arranged for Zhao Yun to make a big fuss, which made the world know and broke Zhou Yu's plan.

Who said that the storybook of Romance has no educational significance!

"Wu Sangui will definitely do this, but the "Emperor Ming Bulletin" is in our hands, and the comparison is whose momentum is more powerful." Wu Sheng said disapprovingly: "In the restoration of Shaanxi, we should mention more young generals, who knows Are they officers and soldiers or Wu Sangui's subordinates? This will not only appease Wu Sangui, but also won't make him show off."

"Your Highness," Sun Chuanting said again, "take a step back and say, are there more people in this world who are really radical and die, or are there more fools?"

"There are already too many people who are truly radical and serve the death." Zhu Cihong said.

"That's it." Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Wu Sangui's appeasement will certainly attract criticism, but there is only one person in ten thousand who is truly heartbroken by this. And since these people are truly loyal and loyal, then no matter the saints Whatever the Son of Heaven has done, in their eyes, they will only feel that the Majesty is ignoring others, and will not change his loyalty."

——This is the emperor who abused me thousands of times, do I treat the emperor like first love...

Zhu Cihong couldn't help grinning and said: "Mr. Sun means that the matter of recruiting Wu Sangui is at most just a little noise, and there will be no big things?"

Sun Chuanting didn't want to say it to death: "I thought there would be no chaos."

The so-called chaos, it has to be civil uprisings, military uprisings and the like.

Zhu Cilang remembers that in the original historical time and space, there were "tenant changes" and "slave changes" in Jiangnan under the Nanming rule.In fact, it is the response of the people at the bottom of Jiangnan to the troubled times, hoping to improve their living environment.It's just because they lack leaders and have never raised a banner, so they only say "change", not "chaos".

"It doesn't matter, if we can recover Xi'an without bloodshed, at least one hundred thousand people will live." Zhu Cihong said: "Besides, we really don't have the ability to storm a city as powerful as Xi'an."

Ordinary small county towns can be conquered with just a bombardment with artillery.However, for cities like Xi'an, Taiyuan, and Beijing, unless red-clothed cannons weighing more than [-] catties were brought in, it would be impossible to blast through the city defenses with the seventeenth style alone.The recovery of Taiyuan was due to internal and external cooperation, and if Xi'an and Beijing did not follow this path, they would not be able to conquer it either.

In particular, Wu Sangui's Guanliao army is not good at field battles, but defending the city is their strength.Zu Dashou guarded Jinzhou in the past, lacking food and guns, and kept guarding for more than a year.If Wu Sangui was determined to defend Xi'an, the Ming army would not be so easy to succeed.What's more, Xi'an is not an isolated city like Jinzhou, and there are still Qing troops and green camps waiting for opportunities.

Kong Youde's "defection" was because he was "single anyway", so the court just let him stay idle-this is the official propaganda caliber, and it can be regarded as a kind of psychological warfare.In fact, the Qing court had doubts about why Kong Youde "defected" and whether he was dead or alive, but they never imagined that Kong Youde was killed by a few rebels.

Wu Sangui is different from Kong Youde, he holds a heavy army and controls the city defense of Xi'an.Although Hauge also stationed troops in Xi'an, Manchu people lived in other cities. Once there was an incident, Wu Sangui's soldiers could surround Manchuria at any time and capture Hauge alive.

Although Zhu Cihong's bottom line was to agree with Wu Sangui to keep Wang Jue and return to the west of Liaoxi, but in real negotiations, he would naturally not ask for a high price, so he agreed casually.

Zhu Cihong still had a few cards to play.

One is Sun Shoufa of Hanzhong.Among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Sun Shoufa's reputation was not obvious after death.But in today's world, Sun Tiebian's reputation is still very strong.He was originally a striker general under Cao Wenzhao's command. He has repeatedly made military exploits in suppressing bandits, and he is a valiant general.He is famous for his good use of iron whips.

Now that He Zhen has become a landlord in Hanzhong, she has basically withdrawn from the stage of history.Sun Shoufa used Hanzhong as his base, so as long as Wu Sangui made a small opening for him, it would be easy to break into Shaanxi.

The second is the deployment of the Mountain Division in Tongguan and the deployment of the Third Guard Division in southern Shanxi.

Neither of these two forces can be mobilized as a whole, but there is no problem in capturing the county with a small number of elites.

The above is the deployment in the south of Xi'an. It can be said that it can be taken as it is, without Wu Sangui's contribution.Since he didn't work hard, it can't be regarded as Wu Sangui's credit.In his asking price, this piece will be dug out.

Then there is the Shaanxi Rebel Army led by Lin Tao and Zhao Liangdong.Although it is said to be a rebel army, it is definitely supported by officers and soldiers.As the framework grew larger, various rebel armies in northern Shaanxi formed a loose alliance, and Lin Tao was elected as the leader of the alliance to fight against the Qing Dynasty together.

The reason why Lin Tao did not reveal the identities of the officers and soldiers was mainly because there were some ambitious mountain kings in the alliance, and some people still held prejudices against the officers and soldiers.In order to win the anti-Qing alliance as much as possible, Lin Tao only talked about anti-Qing, not other things, and he even mobilized the momentum of this alliance, and even captured some small counties, which made the Qing court feel like a thorn in his back.

Therefore, Wu Sangui certainly cannot take full credit for the recovery of northern Shaanxi.

It is questionable whether Wu Sangui can keep the prince if he sits on the ground and pays back the money. (To be continued..)
