Jiang Hao hesitated again and again, but still asked his own soldiers to let the Qing court envoy into the city, and led him all the way to the general soldier's mansion.

The envoy held the order of the regent Dolgon, and there was a letter plate of the Qing court military department as proof, Jiang Hao ordered someone to check it and personally checked the order issued by Dolgon.

"Jiang Liang, the chief military officer of Datong, is loyal to the country, captures and kills pseudo-generals, pacifies Datong, Yanghe and other merits, and gives him great joy. However, it is not appropriate to set up Zaoqiang to take care of state affairs, and to extend the ancestral worship and other words, and it is not appropriate for the king of Zaoqiang to keep his original rank and rank ......"

In the edict, Dolgon affirmed Jiang Jiu's exploits in killing thieves anyway, but also pointed out that it was inappropriate for him to establish the Ming Sect's Zaoqiang King to take charge of state affairs, and his tone seemed to be the lord of Shenzhou.

It turned out that after Jiang Huang was anyway, in order to win the hearts of the people, he embraced Zhu Dingshan, the strong king of the Ming Dynasty, as the leader of the alliance.

It stands to reason that this Zaoqiang King is just a puppet and has no power at all. But Dolgon's reaction was extremely strong, and he directly issued a warning to Jiang Jiu in the form of an order.

If Jiang Hao still had a trace of fantasy before, now he can be sure that the Qing court does have the heart to chase the Central Plains.

So what should he do?

At this time, he had already embraced the Ming clan as a puppet, showing his inclination to submit to the Ming court, and at this time, the regent of the Qing court surrendered to him, where should he go?

Fortunately, the envoy did not force Jiang Jiu to express his position immediately, but only said lightly: "Jiang Zongrong will think about it for a few days, the regent's meaning is very clear, as long as Jiang Zongrong can return to the Qing Dynasty, the high-ranking officials of the Houlu court will not be stingy." ”

This statement made Jiang Hao's heart itch.

Thousands of miles to be an official, just for food and clothing.

To whom is it not a life? Since the Qing court was able to promise high-ranking officials, it was indeed a good choice.

It's just that now the Qing court has not shown the strength to absolutely dominate the world, is it too early to submit to obedience at this time?

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao hesitated a little, coughed and said, "Your envoy has been tired all the way, and it is really hard. Come on, and bring your envoy down to rest. ”

After sending the envoy of the Qing court, Jiang Hao sighed and said, "What do you think should be done?" ”

"Dashuai, for today's plan, it is better to reduce the clear!"

It was Sun Yingwu, a fierce general under Jiang Xuan, who spoke.

He clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates heard that Wu Weihua, the younger brother of Wu Weiying, the Marquis of Gongshun, has come to recruit Shanxi on the order of the regent of the Qing court, and has brought thousands of men and horses. In addition, Gushan Ezhen Yechen has also gathered men and horses to prepare to march into Shanxi. At this time, the regent ordered the commander to salute first and then soldier. If the commander does not obey, I am afraid that the first thing the Qing army will fight is Datong. ”

Jiang Jiu's face couldn't help but become solemn. Sun Yingwu's words are still very reasonable, and now the Qing court is making frequent moves on the Shanxi border, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that a war is inevitable.

Datong is not only an important border town, but it is only 700 miles away from Jingshi, and if Dolgon does not take Datong, he will not be able to sleep well.

If the thousands of green battalion soldiers and horses led by Wu Weihua did not have much deterrent power, the Manchurian Red Flag Department commanded by Ye Chen was terrifying.

If he really wants to fight, Jiang Hao doesn't think he can hold on for long.

What's more, now that he has turned his back, if he offends the Qing court again, it is equivalent to being caught in the middle and beaten on both sides.

But Jiang Hao was still unwilling to be cleared like this. After all, the Qing court did not have the absolute strength to determine the world, and in case of final failure, Jiang Jiu would be buried with him.

Although high-ranking officials are very tempting, their lives are the most important thing.

The guy who eats is gone, what is the use of asking for more money, it is not to make wedding clothes for others.

"Dashuai, don't do it. The Eight Banners of the Qing Army are the division of tigers and wolves, if they enter Datong, can they still have the share of the handsome to speak? ”

Jiang Hao looked sideways, and it was his chief staff Xun Yi who spoke.

"What Mr. Xun said is right, but if you don't clear it, is there any other way?"

"The marshal can bet at both ends, if the Qing court is strong, the Qing court will be lowered, and if the Ming court is strong, it will be lowered."

Xun Yi said word by word.

Betting on both ends?

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was overjoyed.

Yes, now that the situation is unclear, why doesn't he bet on both ends?

Dolgon was not in a hurry to send someone to take over Datong, and Jiang Jiu could continue to drag on.

Now most of Henan is under the rule of the Qing court, but western Henan is still in the hands of Li Zicheng, and southern Henan is in a power vacuum. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Qing army to hoard all its forces along the Shanxi line.

If you send more than a dozen messengers to disguise themselves as cavalry of the Shun army, pass through Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Pingyang, and enter Nanzhili from western Henan and southern Henan, and make a statement to the Southern Ming court, wouldn't it leave a way back for yourself?

As for the makeup, there is no need to worry about it, Jiang Hao's department changed its flag and became the Shun Army a few months ago, and now it is just a matter of changing the Shun Army's uniform. It's much easier than shaving your hair and keeping braids.

For Jiang Xuan, this is a sure-fire deal.

As long as he convinces the Ming court that Datong's army is oriented to the Ming Dynasty, the effect will be achieved.

He would have spoken the same thing to Dorgon through the messenger of the Qing court.

As for who he will eventually fall to, it will depend on who can take Shanxi first.

Jiang Hao felt that the Qing court was more likely. However, even if the Qing court really took Shanxi, it does not mean that it can finally win the world.

Jiang Hao felt that with the wealth of several provinces in the south, the Ming court would be able to recover Shanxi and Hebei sooner or later and recover Shenjing.

At that time, Jiang Hao could go anyway again, claiming that he was only making a false deal with the Qing court before, and when the time was ripe, he would oppose the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is particularly important to send people to Nanjing in advance to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

After thinking about it, Jiang Hao ordered loudly: "A certain intention has been decided, so I will do what Mr. Xun said." Please ask Mr. Xun to write this letter. ”

Xun Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Obey Dong Weng's orders." ”

......

......

Beijing, Forbidden City.

When Dolgon heard the news of the defeat of Jue Luo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu in Texas, he was furious.

He couldn't figure out how more than 5,000 banner soldiers couldn't even take a Texas city.

According to the two minions Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou, can't Texas even get together 500 soldiers?

"Lord Wang, please calm your anger, the slave feels that there must be something strange about this matter, but after the two of them return to Beijing with their troops, they will inquire carefully."

Fan Wencheng, who was standing on the side, said unhurriedly.

Dolgon glanced up, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fan thinks there is fraud in this?" ”

"Back to the prince, the slave thinks that most of it is the Ming Court stationing troops to Shandong."

Hiss!

Dorgon gasped when he heard this.

"How is this possible? Does the Ming court still have extra troops to send to Shandong? ”

Dorgon thought it was incredible.

"If this is the case, why didn't these people lead their troops to King Qin when Li Zicheng led the army to attack Beijing?"

"This time and that time."

Fan Wencheng said leisurely.

......
