Chapter 256: Loyal Monarch and Patriotic Hong Chengchou (Fourth Update, Ask for Subscription)
It was a rare sunny day in winter, and in a wilderness in the north of Haizhou, a few wild dogs barked in a very dilapidated village. At the north and south ends of the wilderness, you can see a huge army of 10,000 people.
Hong Chengchou, who was riding on a horse, walked towards the middle of the two armies, his gaze was on the opposite side, and on the opposite side was a general wearing a white helmet walking towards the center.
At this time, Hong Chengchou's mood was very heavy. From the moment he received the letter, his mood was extremely dull, and the few hundred words pointed to the most worried place in his heart, which was why he came over to meet Dolgon as promised.
Finally, the two men stopped their horses at the same time, a distance of a few feet away.
"Xiao Wang has seen Inspector Hong!"
In the face of Dolgon's salute, Hong Chengchou just saluted casually, and did not refute his self-claim.
"Dolgon, what are you asking Hong to meet here?"
Hong Chengchou asked calmly.
"Inspector Hong, Xiao Wang took the liberty to ask you to come, because he has a few questions to ask Inspector!"
"You say!"
"Does the superintendent know that Zhu Ciying has established herself as the governor of Nanjing!"
"Does the Inspector know that Yangzhou has also won the throne for him?"
"Does the Inspector know that the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Inspector Shi have all defected to Zhu Ciying?"
"The superintendent knows that Zhu Ciying's name of going north is to resist captives, but in fact, it refers to something else......"
After saying these questions like a cannon, Dolgon looked at Hong Chengchou and smiled silently.
Even if he doesn't need to be reminded by Dolgon, Hong Chengchou also knows what Zhu Ciying did, he killed the ministers to seize Nanjing, threatened the general army to seize military power, and was called the country, but in fact he was not a minister, the so-called "going north to resist the captives" is actually just a name, and there is no difference between it and "the side of the Qing monarch, the Yasukuni is difficult", but the name is different. All of this, but just to hide from others.
"When I go north, it is the day when Zhu Ciying plots rebellion!"
Again, the conclusion of yesterday's secret discussion with his cronies about the Nanjing accident came to Hong Chengchou's mind, and Daming is really full of disasters and difficulties right now!
"Inspector Hong, now you and I can tear and kill here, I will attack the 100,000 elites of the Inspectorate with 30,000 troops, although the victory or defeat is said to be five or five, but although Xiao Wang does not dare to say that he will win, but at least he can kill a bloody road and lead the troops back to the Qing Dynasty, but when the time comes, the elite under the Inspector's command, how many casualties? Besides, when you and I are tearing apart, if someone waves his army to the north and directly takes the Beijing division, at that time, the superintendent will really be a minister who has misled the country! ”
He can point directly to Liaodong, why can't he point directly to the capital!
What if you invite the whole teacher to hunt in Haizhou, but it's just a cover-up?
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou went from head to toe. In the face of Dolgon's "alarmism", Hong Chengchou's heart was clouded with a thick shadow.
In case the son of De Shizi plots to rebel and take the capital directly, he Hong Chengchou will use all the 100,000 elites in the hands of the Dongyu, wouldn't he be falling for the treacherous plan of the son of De Shizi!
De Shizi is really a good strategy!
Such a vicious heart is also rare in the world!
Hong Chengchou, who was extremely scheming, didn't pay attention to Dorgon's question, but asked him with a drink.
"Dolgon, what is the purpose of your alarmist words!"
"Don't hide the truth from the superintendent, I asked the superintendent to come over today, not for anything else, just to ask the superintendent for a way!"
Dorgon said bluntly.
"Asking for a way?"
"Yes, the way back to the Qing Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately understood the other party's intentions, so he sneered a few times one after another, and then said.
"Why should I let you go with all my teachers?"
That's what Dolgon is for!
He doesn't want to fight with himself, if he is willing to withdraw from the gate like this, it would be the best policy, at least his side can free up his hands to deal with De Shizi!
"The supervisor misunderstood, not only did he let my whole division return, but also asked me to bring the income from this entry back to the Great Qing Kingdom!"
The moment Dolgon's words were spoken, Hong Chengchou shouted loudly.
"Dolgon, if I allow you to take the plundering people out of the pass, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty's trust!"
Although Hong Chengchou was not very resistant to letting Dolgon leave, after all, the more important thing at the moment was to prevent Zhu Ciying from rebelling, but he didn't expect that Dolgon not only wanted the whole division to return, but also wanted to take away the plundering people!
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Hong Chengchou's opposition had long been expected by Dolgon, and in the face of his opposition, Dolgon smiled and said.
"The superintendent knows that Zhu Ciying drove straight into Shengjing from the sea, not only killed the whole city, but also plundered tens of thousands of female dependents in the city, our Manchurians are different from the Han people, Manchurians and Mongolians are the most important heroes, but a family can not be preserved is definitely not a hero, this time Xiao Wang wants the whole division to return to the Qing Dynasty, to be honest......"
Staring at Hong Chengchou, Dolgon said his truest thoughts without concealment.
"Just to fight with my brother for the throne! Back then, Xiao Wang lost the throne, as for now, such a good opportunity, how can Xiao Wang miss it! ”
If it were someone else, Dolgon would never say these words, but Hong Chengchou is different, he is the governor of Jiliao, and he must have a certain understanding of the internal situation of the Qing Kingdom, and even knows the contradictions between their brothers.
"Oh?"
Staring at Dolgon, Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and then said.
"If you want to go back to the division to take the throne, Hong will let you leave, but the people you plundered are all my Ming people, how can I condone you and leave calmly!"
"If there is no people who have plundered in Daming, how can I buy the major banner lords Baylor, and how can I let them support me to seize the throne!"
Dolgon's undisguised answer made Hong Chengchou's whole person fall into deep thought.
Now that Huangtaiji's prestige has been greatly lost and his vitality has been greatly damaged, if Dorgon's entire division returns, it is not impossible to win the support of the banner owners and fight for the throne. And it is certain that with Huang Taiji's character, he will definitely not be restrained, he will definitely lead the troops to quell the chaos, and then Jiannu will fall into war, and from then on he will inevitably be unable to invade Ning Jin, and there is even a possibility, that is, Huang Taiji and Dolgon will fight to defeat both, and then Da Ming will naturally be able to take advantage of the fisherman. Or that he Hong Chengchou can take advantage of the fisherman and recover Liaodong! In this way, I will comfort Your Majesty and the first emperor!
That's a lot of work!
Later, more importantly, it could prevent the possibility of rebellious ministers and thieves trying to usurp the throne here, and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Society.
But if those people were allowed to leave with the hundreds of thousands of people who had been plundered, how would he account to the people of the world at that time?
Actually, what is needed to explain there!
How many people in this world really care about those people? Is the people important, or is the society more important?
The answer is obvious.
Seeing that Hong Chengchou fell into silence, Dolgon knew that he had convinced him.
In fact, it is very easy to convince these people, as long as you know the stakes with them. They will naturally make the most beneficial choice for themselves or for the country and society in their hearts.
For Hong Chengchou and them, they claim to be loyal ministers, and they have the so-called Jiangshan Sheji in their hearts, for them, Zhu Ciying is simply a chaotic minister and thief, and in comparison, the so-called barbarian Tartars are not worth mentioning.
In fact, the Han people are like this, for the Han people, they have always believed that the biggest threat is themselves, not those barbarians who despise Ru Mao and drink blood in their bones.
It is precisely because of this that Hong Chengchou will let himself leave safely. Because for him, the real threat is the son of Deshi, not the Great Qing Kingdom. In contrast, the Great Qing Kingdom is nothing more than an itch of ringworm and scabies.
"I can't just let you go, I have to give the world some explanation."
The decision has been made in the heart. Hong Chengchou looked at Dolgon and said.
"At least I can't let you take everyone away."
It's just some people, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are more than millions. They plundered some of them, and they had no effect on Daming.
But after all, I still have to give an explanation to the world, otherwise those imperial historians don't know what to say.
Hearing this, Dolgon, who had achieved his goal, laughed.
"Everything is at the mercy of the Inspector."
