Xiaozhuang was born in a Mongolian nobleman, and married a Manchurian nobleman, and there is no Han woman's idea of three obedience and four virtues.

Tong Tuchang is not a good man and a woman, and he also had a romantic past when he was in exile, but after becoming a high-ranking official, he had moral requirements for himself, and he was no longer as dirty as before.

Tong Tuchang heard Xiaozhuang laughing at himself, and quickly lowered his head, while pretending to be shy after being recognized. Tong Tuchang is less than 1.6 meters tall, plus he lives well and eats very fat, this blush makes Xiaozhuang laugh, and he feels that this extremely ugly man is very interesting.

After laughing, Xiaozhuang asked: "This Lord Tong, this palace asked you to come today just to ask why you want to join me in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave has been in exile since he left Liaodong, and he doesn't know that there are still people alive in the Tong family in Liaodong. When the slave was in Wuchang, Huguang, he took refuge in Zhu Hongsan by mistake, and when he met Tong Guonai in Fujian, he knew that there were still people in my Tong family alive and had taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty. When the slave's uncle found out, he was afraid of Zhu Hongsan's revenge, so he ordered the slave to come to Beijing to contact the rest of the Tong family! ”

Xiaozhuang has heard Tong Tulai say about this matter, and she is also skeptical about whether Tong Tuchang is sincere in taking refuge.

"Lord Tong, you said that your Shenwu Emperor can take revenge on you? Can you tell Hongu what kind of person he is? ”

Tong Tuchang heard Xiaozhuang's question, and scolded Zhu Hongsan with a lot of nonsense. Tong Tuchang started from Wuchang and retold Zhu Hongsan's legendary life, but most of them talked about Zhu Hongsan's obscene methods, such as killing the whole family for a woman, forcibly marrying his wife's niece, raping a little widow, raping his sister-in-law and so on. Tong Tuchang's clever mouth is very good at speaking, and the ups and downs of Zhu Hongsan's various things are as attractive as commenting on books.

Xiaozhuang was still listening to the mentality of listening to the commentary, and the more he listened to it, the more frightened he became, he didn't expect this Shenwu Emperor to kill decisively, so powerful, this kind of person must be my fierce opponent in the future.

The Mongols and Manchus are not sinicized now, and they still retain the wolf nature of the nomads, and it is people like Zhu Hongsan who they admire, who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

"Lord Tong, I heard you say this, you, the Shenwu Emperor, should be a master, why do your uncles and nephews want to break away from him?"

"Our Lady of the Empress Dowager, Zhu Hongsan is unkind, capricious, trusting his cronies, and unclear rewards and punishments for meritorious heroes, such a monarch is really not worthy of allegiance. In addition, someone in my Tong family is an official in the Qing Dynasty, and according to Zhu Hongsan's temperament, he will gradually reduce the rights in the hands of the slave uncle and nephew, and in the end, he will find a crime to kill the slave uncle and nephew! Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the slave uncle and nephew can only sacrifice their knowledge to protect themselves! ”

Xiaozhuang nodded when he heard Tong Tuchang say this, because this kind of method is the means that a superior person should have, and there is a talent, why use an unsafe talent? If she had changed to Xiaozhuang, she would have done the same. Up to now, Xiaozhuang has completely believed in Tong Tuchang's surrender.

Xiaozhuang is not a simple woman, and she has made great contributions to the stability of the court in the early Qing Dynasty. But Xiaozhuang can only be regarded as a politician, and cannot be a strategic master at all. Xiaozhuang is very powerful in engaging in some court politics, but in front of the general trend of the world competing for the Central Plains, she is much worse than Huang Taiji and Dolgon. If Tong Tuchang said these words to Huang Taiji and Dolgon, those two people would definitely find out that Tong Tuchang was talking nonsense.

What Tong Tuchang said was for family affection, what capriciousness, what kind of unkindness, what lust and greed for money, this is all true, Zhu Hongsan did beat Tong Tuchang's uncle and nephew back then, but why did Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang still have to be loyal to Zhu Hongsan? That is, Zhu Hongsan kept in mind the principle of equal interests learned in the officialdom of later generations.

Zhu Hongsan was a petty bureaucrat in later generations, and he knew that he was not as rich as everyone else, so he bribed up and down when land was requisitioned and demolished. It's not that there are no Qing officials, but Zhu Hongsan, a Qing official who has no desires, hasn't seen it yet. Don't love money? Good! What do you like? Woman? Pursue? Elegant? Or your family? No matter who Zhu Hongsan's superiors are, Zhu Hongsan always has the means to pull him into the water, which is why Zhu Hongsan has been reported many times in the land acquisition and demolition, but in the end, he was allowed to spend it safely.

After Zhu Hongsan became the emperor, he also knew this, and several of his civil servants and strategists needed what he knew. Ma Mingyuan needs his own talent to be displayed, okay! Be your first assistant and use your talents well! Mr. Ma Jiyuan, I want to leave a name in history, okay! Zhu Hong didn't look like a faint gentleman at three times, and then repented under Ma Jiyuan's teaching, so that Ma Jiyuan was satisfied on the spiritual level! Feng Ziyong is vassally elegant and likes women, good! Snatch the soy sauce Shih Tzu out and hand it to you, and give it to the big house! Tong Yangjia is greedy for money, good! handed over the factory in his hand to Tong Yangjia to manage, you must know that the uncle and nephew of the Tong family are now worth tens of millions of silver dollars in Guangdong. Zhu Hongsan is convinced that there is no absolute loyalty, but the cost of rebellion is too high. The uncles and nephews of the Tong family are not very loyal to Zhu Hongsan, but the benefits given by Zhu Hongsan really make them reluctant to rebel.

As a woman, Xiaozhuang naturally has the sensibility of a woman, and sensibility is a taboo for politicians. Cixi in the later generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is an example, a petty person who dared to declare war on the whole world regardless of the strength of the country. And male politicians are much calmer, if Tong Tuchang is replaced by Dolgon, he must not believe Tong Tuchang hastily.

Xiaozhuang, who completely believed in Tong Tuchang, asked: "Tong Aiqing, what do you think should be done in this peace talks?" ”

"I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to achieve?"

"You should also know about the regent, this palace doesn't want those soldiers with two white flags to come back, you might help this palace?"

Tong Tuchang looked at Sony standing on the side, he didn't recognize Sony, but he knew that the one who could stand here must be the Queen Mother's cronies.

"This lord, I don't know what your idea is for the Queen Mother?"

"Lord Tong, we are going to start with your Ming army in Hanyang, so that the peace talks cannot continue, and naturally the elite soldiers of the two white flags cannot return to the north!"

When Tong Tuchang heard this bad idea, he scolded in his heart: You bastard, Lao Tzu is still in Beijing! How can you ensure the safety of Lao Tzu now? Lao Tzu still wants to successfully negotiate peace and return to Nanjing as a governor!

Tong Tuchang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Queen Mother, this plan must not be implemented, once this plan is implemented, it can only benefit the regent and Shenwu Dujun!" ”

This strategy was conceived by Sony, but he didn't expect to be completely vetoed by Tong Tuchang, Sony was furious, and was just about to scold Tong Tuchang, but he didn't think that Xiaozhuang would wave his hand to stop Sony.

"Tong Aiqing, you think this strategy is not good, so what is wrong with it?"

"Queen Mother, this lord! You guys are underestimating Emperor Shenwu's faint monarch! He knew that the regent and my Qing Emperor were not on good terms, so he sent the two white flag soldiers back, and the idea of the faint monarch was to make my Qing Dynasty chaotic. If we make the first move in Wuchang, that faint monarch must know that we don't want the two white flag elite soldiers to return to the north. According to the minion's understanding of the faint king, he will definitely hand over those two white flag elite soldiers to the regent for free, and when the time comes, the queen mother will steal chickens and rice, exposing the relationship with the Hanyang Qing army, not to mention, and let the regent get 6,000 elite soldiers! ”

After listening to Tong Tuchang's analysis, Xiaozhuang thought about it: "Tong Aiqing, what do you say should be done about this matter?" ”

Tong Tuchang bowed his head and replied: "Queen Mother, the slave has a plan, and he can kill three birds with one stone!" ”

Xiaozhuang heard that Tong Tuchang still had such a good plan, his eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? Do you have a good plan? Come on! ”

"Yes! Queen Mother, the minion's calculation is like this! The first regent is now seriously ill, and there must be people under his cronies who are both heads and rats, and the queen mother can send someone to contact him, and when the time comes, the people sent to Yangzhou to accept the two white flag soldiers will be replaced by our own people! Second, where is there in Yangzhou in addition to 6,000 taels of white flag soldiers but also 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, the queen mother was born in Mongolia, these people can naturally obey the queen mother's orders, when the queen mother ordered Mongolian soldiers to wrap two white flag soldiers, these people immediately became the queen mother's help! Third, Yangzhou is not far from Hanyang, and after accepting the surrender, you can bring them to our territory in Hanyang, and when the time comes, you can attack or defend, it depends on what the Queen Mother wants to do! ”

Xiaozhuang was overjoyed when he heard Tong Tuchang's desperate plan, if he did what Tong Tuchang said, he couldn't help but have an extra 36,000 elite soldiers on his side, you must know that these are all veterans of a hundred battles! It can also take the opportunity to weaken the strength in the hands of Dolgon, and the most important thing is to make the calculations of Emperor Shenwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty fall through.

Although Xiaozhuang and Dolgon fought to the death, they were consistent in maintaining the rule of the Manchus, so both suppressed their subordinates and limited the struggle to the court. Now Tong Tuchang's strategy can weaken Dolgon without killing his own people, which really makes Xiaozhuang very happy.

Xiaozhuang nodded and said to Sony, "Sony, who do you think the regent can take refuge in us?" ”

"Queen Mother, Suke Saha is very shrewd, now the regent is seriously ill, he has come to me many times to talk in detail, but the minister has not promised him before!"

"Good! Now you go and touch it and ask what Sukh Saha means! It's better for him to be able to operate and release Prince Zheng! ”

Prince Zheng Zilharang was dismissed and imprisoned for offending Dolgon years ago. Xiaozhuang doesn't care about the military, most of his cronies are civilian officials, and there are really few generals who can take charge alone. Hauge used to be one, but was killed by Dolgon. Several of Dai Shan's sons are very powerful, and Dai Shan's sons Yue Zhen, Shuo Zhen, Sakhalian, and Wakda are all brave and good generals. But Daishan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and only the blue flag Zilharang can use it. Although Zilharang is also a royal prince, he is Nurhachi's nephew, and his bloodline is much farther away, and the throne will definitely not fall on him, so naturally Xiaozhuang can also use Jilharang with confidence.
