Chapter 354 The virtuous do not avoid relatives

(Thank you for the commuter pass "Nickname Already Exists 2"!) )

Qian Lide looked at Tong Yangjia thinking about the problem there, he didn't speak for a long time, and now it was close to midnight outside, that is, it was almost ten o'clock, Qian Lide couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Qian Lide asked softly, "Father-in-law, what should I do about the affairs in Fujian?" ”

Tong Yangjia was thinking about who the generals who were leading the troops outside, and suddenly heard Qian Lide say what to do in Fujian? Tong Yangjia remembered that he Qian Qianyi can develop a Jin Shenghuan, and I can also develop a Li Chengdong, if Li Chengdong is not weaker than Qian Qianyi at all anyway, it is not certain who will kill who at that time.

The more Tong Yangjia thought about this idea, the more operable it became, and it happened that Zhu Hongsan's daughter Zhu Yu was snatched away by Li Chengdong's son Li Yuanyin, and I heard that they were married. Zhu Yu also happened to be born to Concubine Dong, and he was close to the three princes, if Li Chengdong could only rely on himself in the court anyway, the three princes would be able to borrow a lot of strength at that time.

It just so happened that Qian Lide, the spy leader, was in front of him, so it was better to ask him how he was. "Virtuous son-in-law, why does Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan want to do it anyway?"

Qian Lide, who asked by Tong Yangjia, was confused, didn't he know what to say about Fujian? Why did it suddenly become Jiangxi? Since Tong Yangjia asked about Qian Lide, he told Jiangxi as it was.

Tong Yangjia heard that Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi in the Manchu Dynasty, was squeezing Jin Shenghuan, because the two Jin kings were defeated, so they had to force them to pay the silver. made Jin Shenghuan Wang Deren complain, and then he had the idea of anyway.

"Virtuous son-in-law, Zhang Yutian is from that place? Why can he serve as the governor of Jiangxi? ”

"Zhang Yutian is a native of Liaodong, I heard that he was the one who was taken by Huang Taiji during his reign, this naturally belongs to the old people, what are Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, a Qiu Ba and a liukou, and they are all new annexes, so naturally they can't get the trust of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is reasonable to use Zhang Yutian to suppress the two of them."

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you know that the Fujian governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is?"

Qian Lide looked at Tong Yangjia's face and said cautiously: "Father-in-law, the governor of Fujian in the Manchu Dynasty and you still have relatives, it is Tong Guonai of the Tong family in Liaodong. ”

Tong Yangjia couldn't help but hate the root of his teeth when he heard such a name, Tong Guonai was Tong Yangjia's grandson, and he was Tong Yangjia's nephew. If it weren't for Tong's surrender to Nurhachi, how could his own branch go into exile, his old father, eldest brother and sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, and the whole family of seventeen were all dragged to Beijing by Chongzhen and killed. If it weren't for the fact that he saw the opportunity quickly and ran away with his nephew Tong Tuchang, his father's team would have been completely wiped out. But he was a good man, and he went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be a high-ranking official, and one of his nieces and nephews could be a high-ranking official of the governor of Fujian.

This time, I know that Tong Guonai is better in Fujian, and he will revenge new and old grievances together.

Tong Yangjia made up his mind and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has strict precautions against the new annexed armies in various provinces, and the feudal officials in various places are all old people from Liaodong, and Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi is dissatisfied, and I feel that Li Chengdong in Fujian should also be dissatisfied." Do you think this will work, let's get in touch with Li Chengdong, if he can learn from Jin Shenghuan anyway, it will be a great achievement, won't it be a good son-in-law for you to save Princess Yuyang? ”

When Qian Lide heard Tong Yangjia say this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Father-in-law's plan doesn't work, then Li Chengdong just killed the queen and washed Guangzhou in blood, so he can come over anyway." Even if Li Chengdong has this meaning, the emperor may not agree with it! ”

Tong Yangjia slowly shook his head and said, "No, virtuous son-in-law, don't look at you who have followed the emperor for many years, you still don't know him!" His Majesty the Emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he will never give up this great opportunity for the sake of a mere daughter! ”

Qian Lide thought about Zhu Hongsan's personality, and felt that Tong Yangjia was right, that guy is definitely a mother with milk, and it is profitable, not to mention a daughter, even if he is his own mother, he can give it up.

"Father-in-law, it's easy for us to talk here, but who is going to Fujian? This kind of secret is only for those who absolutely need to confidant! Is there a good candidate for my father-in-law? ”

"There is one, you can rest assured of this, but you have to ensure that my people are absolutely safe!"

Qian Lide patted his chest and said: "This is simple, in order to save Princess Yuyang, I have sent three batches of teams of 400 people to Fujian, they can't save Princess Yuyang, it's no problem to protect a person to retreat safely." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, you go back and arrange, I will go to the emperor tomorrow to report this matter, if it becomes a great achievement for both of us!"

Qian Lide nodded, got up and said goodbye, and began to prepare for the trip to Fujian tomorrow.

Tong Yangjia watched Qian Lide go out, and thought in his heart, Tong Yangxing, back then, you betrayed the Ming Dynasty for your own selfish interests, and the Tong clan in Liaodong was wiped out except for your family, this time I finally have this opportunity, your nephew and grandson fell into my hands, let me avenge the dead family!

When he went to court the next day, Tong Yangjia did not publicly say this, because there are too many factions in the court now, no matter what Tong Yangjia proposes, Ma Mingyuan will definitely oppose it, plus Tong Yangjia In order to protect the safety of the people he sent, it is better to report to the emperor alone.

After the dispersal of the court, the prime ministers began to return to the cabinet office. Tong Yangjia sat in his hut for a while, got up and went to the imperial study, and met Emperor Zhu Hongsan alone.

Zhu Hongsan is worried about the bank's affairs, the manufacturing process of silver coins is still not up to par, and the anti-counterfeiting methods are not good. At this moment, the little yellow door outside the door reported, saying that Tong Yangjia asked to see him.

Isn't this just dispersed, why is there something wrong? Zhu Hongsan asked Tong Yangjia to come in.

"Mr. Tong, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to tell Your Majesty, but please clear the idle people!"

Lao Tong has a secret to say? Zhu Hongsan waved his hand, and Cao Fang and a few little eunuchs in the house went out to wait.

"Mr. Tong, what is the secret?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a plan to let His Majesty's soldiers take Fujian without blood!"

Zhu Hongsan was stunned, the soldiers took Fujian without blood, this is a good thing, if Fujian falls into his hands, the rich eastern Zhejiang is in front of him, and it will take a lot of effort to recover Nanjing.

"Oh! What is Mr. Tong's clever plan, let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yuyang was kidnapped by Li Chengdong, and she is also married to Li Chengdong's son Li Yuanyin?"

Zhu Hongsan snorted coldly, "Hmph! It's that bastard out talking nonsense! ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the matter of Fujian is on Princess Yuyang!"

Zhu Hongsan is also a smart person, he knows what Tong Yangjia means, and he pondered for a moment and said: "It's not good to exchange Zhu Yu, we don't know what Li Chengdong's attitude is!" It's self-defeating to go to the negotiation and make it wrong! ”

"Your Majesty, haven't you thought about why Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi wants to do it anyway?"

"Why? Didn't the Manchu governor oppress him? ”

Tong Yangjia nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Manchus are afraid of these new annexed army leaders at both ends, and they are very guarded against them, Jiangxi was defeated by Jin Shenghuan alone, and the Manchus still don't believe him so much." I think Li Chengdong, who is far more than Jin Shenghuan, is in a similar situation, if we can contact Li Chengdong, the minister is sure to persuade him anyway! ”

Hearing Tong Yangjia say this, Zhu Hongsan thought about it, if he did what Tong Yangjia said, there was a great possibility that the strategy would succeed. But it's hard to find a candidate to persuade him to surrender, this person must be able to speak well, and he must not be afraid of death, I don't know what good candidates Tong Yangjia has.

"Mr. Tong, what you said also has some truth, but this candidate is difficult to choose, do you have any good candidates?"

Tong Yangjia bowed his head and said: "The minister already has a candidate, that is, the nephew of the minister, Tong Tuchang, the same knowledge in Guangzhou!" ”

Damn, Lao Tong fought hard, and his own nephews can be relieved in order to make meritorious contributions. But Tong Tuchang is timid and afraid, he may not be able to do it.

"Mr. Tong is commendable for his heart for the country, but Tong Tuchang is really not a good candidate to persuade him to surrender." In front of Tong Yangjia, Zhu Hongsan couldn't say that your nephew was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he could only mention it tactfully.

Of course, Tong Yangjia knows what his nephew is like, but Tong Yangjia is really unavailable in his hands, the young ones are not trusted, and the trusted ones are in high positions, and only Tong Tuchang is suitable for him.

"Your Majesty, the trip to Fujian is not to fight, but to persuade surrender, it is the person who needs to be full of scheming, Tong Tuchang and I have been in exile for many years, and we have a lot of experience, I believe that he can do this matter well."

Zhu Hongsan thought about Tong Tuchang was afraid of death, but what Tong Yangjia said was right, Tong Tuchang still has the ability, Changhua Iron Mine and Zhaoqing Tuntian are doing well, which also shows this, since Tong Yangjia strongly recommends him to go, let him try.

"Since Mr. Tong is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, then I promised to send Tong Tuchang to persuade Li Chengdong to surrender!"

Tong Yangjia was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan's agreement, and then said: "Your Majesty, what about the reward given to Li Chengdong?" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, this Li Chengdong killed his wife, captured his daughter, and gave him a reward? Anyway, for the sake of the great cause, I have to endure it, and it is not too late to liquidate after the success of the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Jin Shenghuan is the king of the county, Li Chengdong will also be named the king of the county, Mr. Tong, you are going to make a will, as long as Li Chengdong is anyway, he will be named the king of Jianning County, and his son Li Yuanyin will be the concubine and the prince of the county." ”

Tong Yangjia was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan's decision, now the matter is half the way, as long as Tong Tuchang convinces Li Chengdong, then he can immediately overpower Qian Qianyi in the court.

Tong Yangjia finished writing the holy decree and took it out of the palace after using the seal.

When Tong Yangjia returned home, he asked him to go to Guangzhou Mansion to ask his nephew Tong Tuchang to come back, and he wanted to explain what he would do when he went to Fujian.

It's work time now, Tong Tuchang is very busy with work, and when he heard that his uncle asked him to go home to discuss, Tong Tuchang thought something was wrong, so he quickly asked for leave with the prefect Yu Shilong and followed his family to Tong's house.

After entering the house, he saw Tong Yangjia sitting in the room, his face flushed and nothing happened, Tong Tuchang couldn't help complaining: "Uncle, is there something wrong?" There's still something to do for my nephew in Guangzhou! ”
