Chapter 754: Female Politician
Duoduo returned to Shengjing with Sony's coffin and the funeral procession, and informed Fulin and Concubine Zhuang of the results of this surrender.
The good news is that Fang Yuan has specially approved a quota of 30,000 people, and the number of people who moved to Hetuara has reached 80,000. Moreover, they can also take away the belongings in the palace with them, and the wealth accumulated by the Jurchens over the years can be preserved.
And the biggest bad news is that Huang Taiji's heirs, including the crown prince Fu Lin, who is preparing to ascend the throne, must all be escorted to Quang Ninh City.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Duoduo deliberately concealed the news that these heirs would be executed, and only told Emperor Chongzhen and the regent Fang Yuan, who went to Guangning City to meet the Ming Dynasty.
Sony's death made Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin instinctively perceive that this trip to Guangning City was more than lucky, but whether to go to Guangning City or not was up to the two of them.
Ao Bai, the first warrior of the Two Yellow Banners, was hacked to death on the spot, and the important minister Sonny also committed suicide and martyrdom, and the generals of the Two Yellow Banners were even cut down by Duoduo. Concubine Zhuang and Fulin, who do not have two yellow flags as support, are just orphans and widows, lambs to be slaughtered.
Duoduo with two white flags made it clear that he was in favor of escorting Huang Taiji's heirs to Quang Ninh City. Terhu, who has two red flags, is now trapped in Hetuara and cannot express his attitude. The only one who has the ability to support Concubine Zhuang and Fulin's mother and son are the two blue flag masters, and under the obscenity of Duoduo, they don't dare to stand up and say a word.
Besides, the heirs who handed over Huang Taiji were purged by the two yellow flags, what does it have to do with the two blue flags? The relationship between Jidu and Fulin is obviously more distant than that of Duoduo, who is also of the Nurhachi lineage. Jidu is Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi's lineage, and even Duoduo can sell Huang Taiji's heirs, what kind of hero does Jidu go to?
At this point, the decision to escort Huang Taiji's heirs to Quang Ninh City has become a foregone conclusion.
Duoduo ordered the two white flag sergeants to imprison Fu Lin and the other four heirs of Huang Taiji. Fearing that the two yellow flags would interfere with it, snatch these heirs, and affect the surrender to the Ming Dynasty, Duoduo ordered to be guarded by a sergeant with 5,000 taels of white flags.
After imprisoning Huang Taiji's heirs, Duoduo and Jidu worked together to loot the gold, silver, jewelry, and property of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, and even the glazed tiles used to build the palace.
As for the concubines of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, because Dordo still respects Dolgon's brother very much, he protects all of Dolgon's concubines and supports them according to the treatment of concubines. And Huang Taiji's concubine was not so lucky, and was divided between Duoduo and Jidu.
Fang Yuan asked to escort the Han Eight Banner Banner, Gushan Ezhen, as well as the family members of Fan Wencheng and other scholars, Duoduo also ordered the arrest one by one, and also searched for Hong Chengchou who secretly took refuge in Fan Wencheng's mansion, which was an unexpected gain.
Of course, Fan Wencheng's beautiful wife, Duoduo has been coveting it for a long time, and took the opportunity to take it for himself.
Fang Yuan named all the prisoners, more than 1,000 people, Duoduo ordered Azig to lead 8,000 cavalry, escorting this mighty group, to Guangning City.
Inside Quang Ninh city
Fang Yuan had already ordered the whole army to be stationed and rested, and as soon as half a month was ready, the army would enter Shengjing and completely take over the Manchu power in Liaodong.
Fang Yuan didn't wait for Duoduo to escort Huang Taiji's heirs, but he waited for an uninvited guest, who was Huang Taiji's Concubine Zhuang.
This woman, escorted by more than ten horsemen, came to Guangning City and named Fang Yuan to meet Fang Yuan.
Concubine Zhuang is a female politician Xiaozhuang who has gone through four generations of Emperor Taiji, Dolgon, Shunzhi and Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were frequent changes of imperial power, but there was never large-scale infighting, and this woman actually contributed a lot.
Fang Yuan was quite stunned, women were the spoils of war. A woman who dared to go deep into the enemy's Longtan tiger's den could be said to be more daring than Duoduo's previous single-knife meeting.
Concubine Zhuang's trip must have come to rescue her son Fulin.
Fang Yuan was curious, and he wanted to know what tricks this Concubine Zhuang could play at this moment, but he would follow the example of subduing Hong Chengchou and Dolgon, and come to Shi Meiren!
He ordered Concubine Zhuang to be brought to the lobby alone.
Concubine Zhuang, about forty years old, has a good demeanor, dressed in military uniforms, and looks even more heroic.
Fang Yuan was sipping tea and asked, "Concubine Zhuang, Mother of Fulin, what are you here for?" β
Concubine Zhuang bowed generously, "The concubine meets the regent of the Ming Dynasty!" The concubines often heard the two emperors praise the regent of the Ming Dynasty, and they can go from a small hundred households to the bull's ear who now governs the world, and they are really the first heroes in the world! β
Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he heard it, this Concubine Zhuang, she spoke Chinese very well, it was catchy, it seemed that she had studied Chinese on weekdays. But Concubine Zhuang won't think that a few sycophants can rescue Fulin! If her plan only stops there, it will really disappoint Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan smiled and said perfunctorily to her casually, "It's just a fluke!" Compared to Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and thirteen pairs of armor are not as good as your country's Nurhachi, and they can dominate the north of the Great Wall! β
Concubine Zhuang changed her tone and said with a cold smile, "However, the so-called hearing is better than seeing it." When I saw the concubines, I realized that he was the regent who overestimated the Ming Dynasty before, but he was just an unkind, unjust, brave and unwise person! β
Her agitation method was also Fang Yuan's expectation, and she was not the slightest bit annoyed, and said with a smile, "Concubine Zhuang, I, listen to me." What does it mean to be unkind, unjust, brave and unwise?! β
Concubine Zhuang continued, "The regent's frequent despair is definitely not the act of the benevolent monarch, it is unkind; The two emperors of the Qing Dynasty were rival enemies and confidants to the regent, but the regent wanted to kill his heirs, which was unjust; The regent sits on the world, but he is timid, worried that my Qing Dynasty will make a comeback, and wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, which is not brave; It is unwise for the regent to appoint a Duoduo who will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, and to know that Duoduo can sell his country and relatives today, and he can sell the regent tomorrow. β
"The regent is in one day, and of course Liaodong will not go wrong. Once the regent is gone, Liaodong is in chaos or not, then it can only be resigned to fate! β
She talked about it before Fang Yuan, which made Fang Yuan stunned. It seems that this Concubine Zhuang is not using a beauty trick on this trip, but really wants to reason with Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had to admit that part of what Concubine Zhuang said was reasonable, and whether the other injustices were valid or not was not mentioned for the time being, at least Duoduo betrayed the country too quickly and too thoroughly, which made Fang Yuan really feel a little unhappy. As Concubine Zhuang said, this kind of person who has no country and no king in his heart, how can he be loyal to Fang Yuan and Daming?
However, it would be too naΓ―ve for Concubine Zhuang to think that such a few words could make Fang Yuan give up the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
Fang Yuan groaned, "According to Concubine Zhuang's thoughts, what should I do to be considered benevolent, righteous, wise and brave?!" β
Concubine Zhuang Lang Lang said, "The concubine thinks that the regent should not only not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but also ceremoniously treat the heirs of Huang Taiji and the daughters of Dolgon, and take them to the city of Beijing, where they will be raised by high-ranking officials. β
"What's this suggestion? When I'm a fool?! β
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Concubine Zhuang, why should I raise these people in Beijing City, instead of killing a hundred?" β
Concubine Zhuang said, "For the regent, it is obviously courtesy, but it is actually house arrest, and it is even more pinched some chess pieces to contain Liaodong. As long as Duoduo and the two white flags dare to act rashly, they can support these princes to go to Liaodong to take the throne and use the Jurchens to control the Jurchens! There are so many chess pieces, and Duoduo will also throw rat traps, and they dare not act rashly! β
Fang Yuan nodded slightly when he heard this, he hadn't considered these suggestions, and he had been hesitating. At this moment, Concubine Zhuang also thought of a place with him, which made him quite moved.
This woman can find out what Fang Yuan is thinking, she does have a few brushes!
What made Fang Yuan sigh even more was that Concubine Zhuang had a deep affection for protecting the calf, and in order to save her son's life, she simply came to give Fang Yuan advice alone, and even sold all the interests of the Jurchens.
Fang Yuan held the teacup, but his eyes were slightly closed, obviously hesitant.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes slowly, stared straight at Concubine Zhuang and said, "Concubine Zhuang is really a heroine among women, admire!" Well, the heirs of Huang Taiji, as well as the daughter of Dolgon, will be taken hostage in the city of Beijing! β
Concubine Zhuang was also very happy to see that he responded happily, and said, "The concubine still has a reluctant request, the regent is a good man to the end, and he will send the Buddha to the west, can he take Huang Taiji's concubine and female dependents to Beijing City to be detained?" β
This request is a bit of an inch, Fang Yuan was stunned and said, "I still have to spend money and food to support these women?!" β
Concubine Zhuang hurriedly explained, "Most of these concubines and female dependents are from the Mongolian tribe, and the regent can also win over the Mongolian tribe." Moreover, we, the concubines, still have some dowries and family backgrounds, and we don't need the regent to support them at all. β
She tossed for a long time, with only one purpose, that is, to stay in Beijing City with Fulin.
She doesn't want to leave her son!
Fang Yuan smiled, "Okay, that's it!" I will immediately inform Duoduo and send all the female dependents of Huang Taiji to Quang Ninh City! β
