Chapter 29 The Manchu Scriptures
Just when Chen Jinnan was about to make a move, I stopped him, then ran down from the dragon chair, grabbed Zhang Zhao, and asked eagerly: "General Zhang, why did you do this?" What's going on over there? ”
Zhang Zhao said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't slept for seven consecutive days, so ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao fainted on the ground, and I quickly asked someone to carry him into the room to rest.
Looking at Zhang Zhao's haggard face, my buddy was very distressed, he was really loyal to me.
If Lao Tzu does not restore the Ming Dynasty, even if he can travel back to modern times, Lao Tzu will regret it for the rest of his life.
After sleeping for almost two hours, Zhang Zhao woke up, and after waking up, he said to me: "Please atone for the emperor's sins, the minister wants to bring the news back as soon as possible, so he didn't rest along the way, and he fainted just now!" ”
"Zhang Zhao, I don't blame you!"
When he said this, the buddy's tears were about to come out.
"Your Majesty, the Manchus agreed to send troops to Shanhaiguan. But they said that in addition to ceding the two provinces of Zhili and Hebei, there was another demand. ”
"What are the requirements?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Saying that, Zhang Zhao took out a letter from his clothes, and I looked at the whereabouts, and it was actually a handwritten letter from Dorgon, the first fierce general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In the letter, on the one hand, Dolgon said that the Manchus accepted the land cession and promised to send troops to Shanhaiguan; On the other hand, he said that he was obsessed with Buddhism and hoped that I could give him the "Xuanhua Sutra" in my hand.
If I can meet these two conditions, let me go to Shengjing to sign the agreement in person, and after the agreement is signed, he will immediately send troops to Shanhaiguan.
After reading the letter, Lao Tzu was happy and angry.
The Manchus agreed to send troops to Shanhaiguan, and they were angry about Dorgon's conspiracy.
I remember that Gao Xiaosong specifically talked about Dorgon in "The Tragedy of the Southern Ming Dynasty", saying that he was born as a military general, and lived a life of licking blood with a knife since he was a child, and even regarded the Han people as ants, and slaughtered the city in Jiading for three days, and in Yangzhou for ten days, forcing the Han people to shave their heads and keep braids.
Think about it, how could a person like him be obsessed with Buddhism.
I guess he must be like Wu Sangui, he should have known the secrets in the "Xuanhua Sutra" a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have used a broken book to blackmail me.
At the same time, I can even deduce that Qin Qing and the bearded man I met in Jiangxi that day should not be some Liaodong Han people, but people sent by Dolgon to Yunnan to steal books, otherwise those lamas would not have pestered them.
It's annoying, it's really annoying, it's a huge Ming Dynasty, and no one knows about this "Xuanhua Sutra", but the secret in it has been discovered by foreigners.
Dude, as a Han person, I really feel sad from the bottom of my heart, and I am also touched and terrible.
And now Dolgon is still coercing Lao Tzu to hand over the scriptures, and the buddy is too aggrieved.
Seeing my sad face, Zhang Zhao asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do we really want to dedicate the scriptures to the Manchus?" ”
"Yes, of course. And I'm going to deliver it to Dorgon myself! ”
"Your Majesty, although I don't read much, I think there seems to be some secret in this scripture, if it is given to the Manchu Tartars like this, I'm afraid it will not be good!"
I understand Zhang Zhao's concerns, but I have already thought of a strategy to deal with it.
Come to think of it, although Dorgon knew the secrets of the Xuanhua Sutra, he had never read every single one, and he didn't even know how many scriptures I had in my hands now.
In this way, Lao Tzu can completely forge a fake copy and give it to him.
"Zhang Zhao, the matter of the scriptures is free and measured. Don't worry, I will never let the Tartars take advantage of it! ”
After saying that, I called Wang Chengen in, told him to quickly find someone to make a fake scripture book, and at the same time asked him to arrange the personnel to escort me north to Shengjing.
The reason why buddy is so anxious is because if it continues to be consumed like this, Wu Sangui will hit Fujian.
Seeing that things had been arranged, I was about to leave, when Zhang Zhao said to me: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask the emperor." ”
"What's the matter?"
Before I could finish my sentence, Zheng Zhilong suddenly ran in.
"Your Majesty, the little boy Zheng Sen is back, he has an urgent military situation to report!"
Hearing that Zheng Chenggong was back, and there was an urgent military situation, I didn't have time to listen to Zhang Zhao's questioning, and walked out with Zheng Zhilong.
……
I followed Zheng Zhilong to the hall quickly, and Zheng Chenggong knelt down when he saw me coming.
"Xiao Zheng doesn't have to be polite, how is the battle situation in Anhui?" I asked anxiously.
Zheng Chenggong frowned and said: "After Wu Sangui broke through Nanjing, he approached Tongling, Anhui, and the minister and General Zuo Liangyu held the city day and night. Originally, Wu Sangui was helpless, but who knew that the army saw that General Zuo transferred Jiujiang's troops to Tongling, so he began to storm Jiujiang again, and now Jiujiang is in danger, General Zuo hopes to withdraw his troops and retreat to Jiujiang! ”
I grass! Hearing this, Lao Tzu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, Wu Sangui was really good at fighting.
Angry, but the buddy didn't show the slightest impatience.
But Zheng Zhilong's thief king said with a shocked face: "My God, if Jiujiang is breached, the Chuang army and Wu Sangui will be connected, and then we will not become turtles in the urn?" ”
"Dad, what are you panicking about! I came back this time to discuss with the emperor how to save the situation. ”
"Save the situation? How can I save it! ”
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Chenggong with a bitter face, pointed to his nose and said: "I have said many times, our two masters are fighting water wars, not land wars, you have to pull our Zheng family's sailors to fight, Lao Tzu's family is about to be defeated for you." Hum! ”
I grass, although Zheng Zhilong is right, but at this time, he actually cares not about the country, but about his own family property, and he really wants to scold people when he is angry, but I still hold back.
"Dad, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! What's more, my Zheng family has received the emperor's favor, how can you care about such a little gain or loss? The country lacks a source of soldiers, so what's wrong with us sending some troops and some money and food? You let the child learn the way of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and I hope that I will not be a pirate like you all my life, and the child is now serving the country, but you come to accuse me, why am I wrong? ”
"Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't know what Confucius and Mencius do, Lao Tzu only knows that the Zheng family's sailors and money are all exchanged for their lives, so you can do whatever you like!"
Zheng Zhilong, the thief king, left angrily after speaking, without caring about my face at all.
Of course, a mud leg like him who hasn't read a book can understand it.
People like him defected to the imperial court, not to support the society, but to get promoted and make a fortune.
You must know that it is recorded in the history books that Zheng Zhilong first took refuge in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and when the small court was defeated by the Qing army, he immediately took refuge in the Qing army.
His various performances can't help but make me a little worried, afraid that history will repeat itself.
Seeing that his father was rude, Zheng Chenggong immediately knelt down to apologize to me, and said: "Don't be angry, the emperor doesn't know how to be polite all year round. But the emperor can rest assured that as long as there are ministers, my father will not do anything bad for the country! ”
Seeing that he said so, how could I criticize Zheng Zhilong's eighth thief.
"It's okay, I'm not angry."
After that, I brought the topic back to the battlefield and asked Zheng Chenggong how to solve the current dilemma.
"The minister thinks that Jiujiang must be defended, after all, it is the throat of the Yangtze River. If the thieves seize Jiujiang, they can go south to Fujian almost without much effort. Therefore, the minister thinks that General Zuo Liangyu can withdraw his troops and retreat to Jiujiang first, and at the same time, he must send a team to Tongling to help! ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, so who do you want to let go to Tongling?"
"Guangdong and Guangxi are far away from Tongling, and the only one who can rush to help is probably the army of Fujian Province."
"Yes, I agree with your plan. You can transfer all the troops in Fujian to Tongling, as long as you can resist for another two months, I can make Wu Sangui retreat, because the Manchu Qing have already promised me and are willing to send troops to Shanhaiguan! ”
Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong was very excited, and tears of excitement were about to come out.
After talking about this, Zheng Chenggong ran to appease his thief king Ba Laozi, and I was busy thinking about who would preside over the overall situation of Fuzhou during the gap period of negotiations in Shengjing in the north.
……
It was noon in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Zheng Zhilong changed his previous grievances, smiled and asked me to go to dinner, and made amends to me, saying that he was too reckless just now, and told me not to be angry.
"General Zheng, how can I be angry with you? Don't worry, when the Ming Dynasty is restored, all the favors I owe you will be repaid to you! ”
What I said was polite, because if you want to sit firmly in Fuzhou, you really can't offend Zheng Zhilong, the head snake, if he surrenders to Wu Sangui, Lao Tzu will be completely finished.
"Where does the emperor say, I, Zheng Zhilong, will not care about the gains and losses with the country. Come on, come on, the emperor sit down and eat! ”
And just like that, a group of people sat down.
Zheng Zhilong really wanted to apologize to me, so he prepared a table of good wine and food, and called Shuang'er and others over to eat together.
During the banquet, Zheng Zhilong flattered me with all kinds of sycophants and frequently toasted me.
However, while eating, I felt that something was wrong, because Shuang'er and Chen Yuanyuan kept telling me that I was a little dizzy.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhilong deliberately said: "Noble Shuang'er, you may be the first time to eat our Fujian seafood, this reaction is normal." ”
"Really?" Before Shuang'er finished speaking, she fainted with Chen Yuanyuan.
Seeing that they fainted, I felt that something was wrong, and yelled and said, "Zheng Zhilong, you bastard, did you do something?" ”
"Dad, what the hell is going on?"
Zheng Chenggong also asked, but he also covered his head, feeling a little dizzy.
Zheng Zhilong suddenly shouted at Zheng Chenggong loudly in Hokkien: "Wow Curry Gong (I'll tell you), it is impossible for us to win against Wu Sangui, and if we follow Chongzhen's father, we will be killed!" ”
Grass! Hearing this, Lao Tzu picked up the dishes and chopsticks and wanted to hit him.
But it was too late at this time, and before I could throw the bowl out, Lao Tzu fainted.
