Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 425 Ning Wan, Me and Fan Wencheng
Since the first battle of Daming Mansion, Dorgon has been retreating steadily, and Zhu Yousong's men have robbed the pass and seized the village like a broken bamboo. Within a month, they pointed their swords at the Beijing City of the Qing capital.

The ruling and opposition parties of the Qing Dynasty were shaken.In the villages and towns near the capital, and in the streets and alleys within the city of Beijing, people whispering quietly can be seen everywhere.

They were all talking about how brave and invincible the Hongguang court was, how unstoppable the Ming army was, how unstoppable it was to attack the city and sink the ground, and how the Qing army suffered consecutive defeats, lost troops and lost generals, and Dorgon himself went out, nothing more, and so on.

Some landlords, countrymen, gentry and officials and other leading figures on the street were running quietly again, communicating in series, discussing in private how to welcome Emperor Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Zicheng's troops invaded Beijing, these people also rushed to greet the peasant army with a new attitude.When the Tartars came, they put on another posture to greet the Tartars.Now, Zhu Yousong's men are about to rain, and they are busy with work again.

The past two years are like a spring to change their faces, which is enough for them to be busy. They really have worked tirelessly!
But the hardest ones now should be Dorgon, Daishan, Jierhalang, Sony and other heads of the Tartars. They feel extremely pressured.

Since the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, they have been invincible in all battles, but since the war with the Hongguang court, their nightmare has come.Nikan, Boluo, Azig, Duoduo, Obai, Man Dahai, King Sanshun, Wu Sangui, Haoge, Zu Dashou, Ma Guozhu, etc.These pillars of the Qing Dynasty were defeated one after another.

Now the Qing Dynasty is empty, lacking both elite soldiers and good generals.

From September last year to now, less than a year after their Shunzhi emperor moved the capital to Beijing, Zhu Yousong has fought in Beijing. Is the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, who is known as invincible in the world, really powerless in front of the false emperor's army?Is the sky going to kill me?

Prince Regent Dorgon, Prince Li Daishan, and Prince Zheng Jierhalang looked at each other with a long sigh, and gathered all court civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, but in the end there was no solution.

"Perhaps it would be nice to have Mr. Fan here!" Sony said surprisingly, thinking of Fan Wencheng.

At this time, Dorgon has long been missing his Mr. Fan, not only because of nostalgia, but also with regret and deep self-blame.

Fan Wencheng, a veteran of the three dynasties, from Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, and then to the current Emperor Shunzhi or Dorgon, this Minister of State and Political Affairs Hongwenguan University scholar made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. He is resourceful and eloquent. Knowing astronomy at a high level, geography at a low level, being able to kill the enemy in battle, writing a pen can write, maybe he should not be blamed for the defeat in the Battle of Dayeling, let alone agree to the puppet emperor Zhu Yousong's condition of exchanging his wife for the purge. Wang Haoge turned Fan Wencheng against him, and he failed to save Prince Su.

Now the Qing Dynasty is besieged on all sides and is in danger. If Mr. Fan is there, there will be a solution!

"But what about Mr. Ning?" Dorgon regretted and blamed himself in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking of another great counselor Ning Wan me.

If Fan Wencheng is the number one Hanchen in the Qing court, then Ning Wanwo is undoubtedly the second Hanchen, or they both have the same name, half a catty is more suitable for Baquan.

Both of them are veterans of the three dynasties, ministers of state affairs, and grand scholars of the Palace Pavilion. In terms of their talents and wisdom, let alone the first and second Hanchens, even the Manchu Tartars are counted. Among the civil and military officials of the entire Qing Dynasty, They are also one of the best, and no one can beat them.

But in comparison, this Mr. Ning has a great personality, dares to make mistakes, has unique views, does not flatter power, and insists on his own opinions. This is not only his advantage, but also his disadvantage sometimes, so he has had several ups and downs.

After entering the customs, Mr. Ning became more tactful, and he didn't want to be a barking dog anymore. Compared with Fan Wencheng, he was a little mediocre. However, in today's civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who can compare with his Mr. Ning?

Of course, Dorgon will not forget that when he used troops against the Hongguang regime, Ning Wanwo made shocking remarks, which was inconsistent with Fan Wencheng's views.It would be great if Mr. Ning was here. He was ordered to send Li Zicheng, the chieftain of the bandits, so he should come back regardless of whether there is a result or not?

……

The sight is temporarily transferred to Xi'an, Shaanxi, which is the capital of the Dashun court.

Now in this magical land, there are four major regimes that ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors. In addition to the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, there are Dashun in Shaanxi and Daxi in Sichuan.

Ning Wanwo was ordered by Dorgon to come to Xi'an to lobby Li Zicheng to fight against their common enemy, Zhu Yousong, the remnant of Nanming.

In accordance with the principle that the two countries should not be beheaded for envoys, this King Li Chuang really gave Ning Wanwo a bit of a treat, so that he could be treated as a courtier.

But when Li Zicheng learned of Ning Wanwo's intention, he flatly rejected Ling Wanwo and drove him out of Xi'an.

Ning Wan, I didn't give up, it took a long time for me to bite the bullet, and I met with Li Zicheng for the second time, and I talked about the pros and cons.However, Li Zicheng still sealed the door tightly, and regarded the Manchu Tartars as his sworn enemy.

After hitting a wall twice, I still didn't give up after Ning Wan. I wandered outside Xi'an for a few days, and then came to see Li Zicheng for the third time.

However, during the past few days, Li Zicheng welcomed a distinguished guest, this person is Fan Wencheng, an unscrupulous literati.

But at the beginning, Fan Wencheng was tied up and brought in front of Li Zicheng.

Fan Wencheng fell to his knees and explained his purpose.All the civil and military officials in front of Li Zicheng, including Li Zicheng himself, couldn't believe it. This is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, the chief think tank of the Tartars, who fell out with the Tartars, and wants to surrender him?real or fake?
Generals Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, and other generals all advocated killing Fan Wencheng, saying that it must be Dorgon who asked him to use bitter tricks, so that their emperor would never die. Don't be fooled.

Li Zicheng's great advisors, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, did not express their views, but their eyes were also vigilantly examining this uninvited guest from the Qing Dynasty.

However, Li Zicheng is Li Zicheng after all, the outstanding leader of the peasant uprising, all-rounder in civil and military affairs, of course he is not a reckless person. He has already regretted killing the counselor Li Yan by mistake. Although Niu Jinxing was not punished for this incident, Li Zicheng has already He has gained a lot of wisdom after eating a ditch, and now he is also an emperor, so of course he doesn't rub the sand in his eyes.

Let Fan Wencheng tell the whole story, and he listened quietly.When Fan Wencheng talked about his heartache, tears flowed down his face. The names of Dorgon and Zhu Yousong made him gnash his teeth.

There is a saying that a man does not shed tears lightly, Li Zicheng has already come to his own conclusion after observing his words and expressions.

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Li Zijian got up, got off the dragon chair, came to the front, untied him personally, and asked him to join his think tank to entrust him with important tasks, his status was second only to Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance.

Fan Wencheng was so grateful, he accepted his bow and bowed again, saying that His Majesty's kindness of knowing you will be heart-wrenching, even if you can't repay him in this life, you will continue to repay him in the next life as an ox or a horse.

Li Zicheng asked Fan Wencheng about major events in the world, and Fan Wencheng planned for him, which can be summed up simply as emphasizing talents, reducing taxes, strengthening the country internally, strengthening the country externally, uniting the great west in the south, expelling the Tartars in the east, exterminating the corrupt Ming, and unifying world.

Li Zicheng felt as if he had found a treasure, and he had a great intention of seeing each other later.

Two days later, after Ning Wan, I came to see Li Zicheng again.After learning about it, Fan Wencheng congratulated Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, our chance has come!"
