The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 555 Hauge's "Blood Feud"

"You think too highly of Nanming." Weng Mao's uncle was Zuo Tongzheng Weng Yitang, the former General Secretary of the Hongguang Dynasty. Hearing this, he immediately dismissed, "In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the 13 Ming troops in Songshan were killed by the former emperor's 3 horses. Helmets and armor were discarded. During the Hongguang Dynasty, Shi Kefa commanded 20 soldiers and horses in the four towns in Jiangbei, and they were almost defeated at the touch of a touch. Nanjing Bazhang Jiancheng fell without firing a single shot.

"Nowadays, the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty has no more than [-] to [-] soldiers at most, and less than [-]% of them are placed on the front line of the Yangtze River. As long as the imperial court is cautious, it is better to underestimate the enemy like Boluo and Luck Dehun. , the defeat of the Ming army is a matter of time."

He paused here, turned to Weng Mao, and lowered his voice a little, "Besides, if the Duduo army is defeated in the current court situation, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us. On the contrary, it is his words of great victory in the south of the Yangtze River." , do you think who will benefit?"

Weng Mao said straight to the point, "Prince Yu is the Regent's greatest reliance, if he wins, first of all the Regent's authority will be more stable.

"And the regent favors Feng Quan, Liu Zhengzong and other traitors of the northern party, and allows them to wantonly suppress us courtiers from the south of the Yangtze River..."

He frowned and concluded, "So Jiangnan's victory at this time is the most supportive of the northern party's arrogance."

A year ago, Wu Da, Li Senxian, the censors of the Southern Party, and Gong Dingzi, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, impeached the leader of the Northern Party, Feng Quan, for crimes such as corruption and indulging his children to commit murder.As a result, Dorgon ignored the evidence and publicly supported Feng Quan, dismissed Li Senxian and reprimanded Gong Dingzi and others.Since then, the Northern Party has formed a deadly enmity with the Southern Party, and began to fight back frantically, and has always been firmly in the upper hand.

Weng Yitang nodded happily, and said that the son of the third brother is indeed the most qualified junior of the Weng family. It is true that he has exhausted all his favors and spent nearly half of the family's wealth to get this job for him!I only hope that this time he can help Prince Su gain power, and Weng Mao has done a great job in admonishing him.Now that he has resigned from office, the Weng family will rely on Weng Mao to support the hall in the future.

"The reason why our southern courtiers can't fight against the remnants of the northern party's treacherous officials is because our backer, Tan Bai, is too weak." Weng Yitang continued, "As long as Dorgon is still in high position, it will be difficult for us to bring down the northern party's traitors. And the current good opportunity can help Dorgon's biggest political enemy, Prince Su, take the throne.

"We worked for Prince Su when he was not yet in power, and we also advised him to defeat Dorgon, his deadly enemy. In the future, he will definitely help us wipe out the Northern Party."

He said with a slight smile, the meaning of which is self-evident, the northern party will be destroyed, the imperial court is not the world of our southern party?
Two days later, Weng's uncle and nephew arrived at Xi'an Prefecture.Before Weng Yitang arrived in Xi'an City, he stopped the carriages and horses, and ordered Weng Mao to continue going south, but he himself changed the car and wanted to transfer to Fengxiang Mansion.

Fengxiang Mansion is located in the west-north direction of Xi'an, and was later renamed Baoji.

"Don't uncle go to Hanzhong with me?" Weng Mao asked in surprise, "With you in charge, I feel more at ease."

"This place is only a hundred miles away from Sichuan." Weng Yitang shook his head silently, "I have already instructed you many times, and it will be up to you later."

"This, but why?"

"In case the big event fails, Dorgon will fight back fiercely. The old man is the head of the Weng family. If this matter is involved, the whole family of the Weng family will inevitably be involved. And your going to Hanzhong is "acting wantonly and arbitrarily", and has nothing to do with the Weng family." The slightest connection..." Weng Yitang sighed, and patted Weng Mao on the shoulder, "Prince Su is indecisive, this matter is of great importance, you must make more plans, and you must not be impatient."

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will never disappoint you and the adults in Beijing!"

……

Hanzhong Qing army camp.

When Hauge heard that it was someone from Beijing who had come to "discuss major issues", he immediately backed away and asked him to pay, but now he was looking at this fat man in his 30s, and he didn't think of who it was for a long time.

"The Secretary of the General Administration of the lower government has experienced Weng Mao, and pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Su."

"Get up." Hao Ge frowned, "Where are Chen Mingxia and Qian Qianyi? Why did you send a seventh-rank official here?"

Weng Mao didn't change his face and said: "An unknown soldier will not startle a snake."

Hauge was stunned, nodded and said: "Chen Mingxia sent a letter from Zhao Cheng to say something important, what exactly is it?"

Weng Mao hurriedly presented a wooden box to Hauge.The latter took out a piece of brocade from inside and unfolded it. As soon as he glanced at it, he immediately showed joy—there were not many words on the brocade, and it probably meant the same thing. All the officials believed that only Prince Su presiding over the government could stop the decline , everyone is looking forward to Prince Su's return to Beijing.There are nearly forty signatures on the back, including Chen Mingxia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Qian Qianyi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Gong Dingzi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and several other military commanders.

And Chen Mingxia and others took the lead in signing, which means the support of the huge Southern Party!Hauge suppressed his excitement, and pretended to be indifferent: "The regent has been in power for a long time, the court is stable, and he has made a lot of achievements. What do you mean?"

"Prince Su's words are wrong." Weng Mao immediately said with a sad expression, "Dorgon repeatedly deployed troops, but he was defeated everywhere!

"In the south, Boluo and Luck Dehun were successively defeated by Nanming, losing nearly 20 troops! Zhejiang, Jiangnan and other important places were lost, and even Nanjing fell into the hands of Nanming again. As a result, the imperial court sharply reduced more than [-]% of taxes and lost The Jiangnan granary!
"In Mobei, Dorgon falsely claimed to have defeated the Sunite tribe and the Khalkha allied forces, but in fact Duoduo killed and injured nearly 3 horses on the grassland. He had to admit that the Khalkha tribe was the lord of Mongolia, and he cut the land and silently It was only after a hundred miles to the north that the Khalkhas were stabilized and they withdrew to the remnants of Dodo.

"Besides, the sudden rise of rebellious troops in various places in Shandong and Shanxi has disturbed the lives of the people.

"Nowadays, people in the imperial court are panicking, and they all hope that the great talents can save the crisis, turn the tide, and stop Dorgon's disaster!"

Hauge stared at the words, and stood up abruptly, "It's nonsense! You slander the regent and talk about the government, are you trying to rebel?!"

Weng Mao secretly laughed in his heart, pretending to be fake, if you are really angry at me, why didn't you just call the guards to take me down?
He immediately changed into an "indignant" expression, and said in a deep voice: "All the loyal ministers in the court are complaining about His Highness!

"His Royal Highness, as the eldest son of the former emperor, with his literary and martial arts strategy and outstanding military achievements, he was indeed the holy lord that everyone expected! Gein Dorgon, out of selfish desires, colluded with cronies to obstruct you, and forcibly took your position!"

He brought up the old story again, and seeing Hauge's brow showing anger, he immediately hit the iron while it was hot: "If you weren't worried that the Qing Dynasty would fall into internal strife and end up bearing the burden of humiliation, why would Dorgon be so arrogant at this time? And his brother didn't think about your righteousness." However, it is really deceiving to humiliate you repeatedly because of your ambiguous words!"

Hauge immediately remembered that when the first emperor passed away, but the crown prince had not been appointed, so the kings discussed who would inherit the great power.At that time, two yellow flags and two blue flags were on his side, and they recommended him to succeed him.Out of practice, he said modestly, "How can this make it difficult for me to assume a high position because of my lack of blessings and virtues?"

Unexpectedly, Duoduo replied carelessly, "That's right, Prince Su has little blessings and little virtue, so it's not appropriate to establish him."
