At Tong Tulai's Mansion in Beijing, Tong Guonai saw that the enemy Tong Tuchang was coming to fool his uncle again, and he scolded angrily.

But the owner Tong Tulai didn't want to get rid of Tong Tuchang, he wanted to hear what Tong Tuchang was doing.

Tong Tulai waved his hand to stop Tong Guonai's scolding, and asked, "Brother Tuchangxian, you didn't say what you came to me for just now?" You won't come all the way to recognize your relatives! ”

Tong Tuchang wiped the sweat from his forehead, peeked at the angry Tong Guonai on the side, and said: "Big brother, Guo Nai's virtuous nephew, junior brother is here to make a big contribution to my Tong family!" ”

"Uncle, don't listen to him fart, this guy has a smooth tone, a clever mouth can tell the dead to live, just beat him out!"

"Tong Guonai! Shut up for me, and get out of here! After scolding Tong Guonai, Tong Tulai asked Tong Tuchang, "Oh? Your uncle and nephew are flying in Nanjing, can you still remember our Tong family? ”

"Big brother, you have wronged your little brother! We are all from the Tong family, blood is thicker than water, so can we turn our elbows outward! Today's little brother is really a great credit for the eldest brother! ”

"Tell me, what is the big credit?"

"Big brother, since the younger brother happened to meet Guo Naixian's nephew in Fujian, I know that there are still people alive in our family! Although there was some unpleasantness with Guo Naixian's nephew in Fujian, there was no way at that time, if the younger brother did not cooperate with Li Chengdong, the lives of the younger brother and his uncle Tong Yangjia would be worried! ”

Tong Tuchang's words are very right, the fundamental reason for Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong's matter anyway is that Man Xingui squeezed out these later Ming army generals, even if there is no Tong Tuchang on the side, Li Chengdong will be sooner or later anyway. Tong Tulai and Tong Guonai are both people of officialdom, and they have seen the matter of Li Chengdong in Fujian very thoroughly, so they can make Tong Tuchang speak.

"Big brother, after the younger brother returned to Guangdong, he passed the news to his uncle Tong Yangjia, and our uncle and nephew only then knew that there was still the Tong family alive, so this time that idiot emperor Zhu Hongsan wanted to send someone to negotiate peace with me in the Qing Dynasty, and my uncle recommended that the younger brother come to me, in order to connect with the Tong family's own people, and then cooperate with the outside to eliminate the small court of Nanming Shenwu!"

Tong Tulai and Tong Guonai are both old fritters, so naturally they can't be moved by Tong Tuchang's words.

Tong Guonai sneered twice and asked, "Hehe! So your uncle and nephew want to give up the glory and wealth of Nanming and come to vote for me in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Tong Tuchang nodded again and again, "Yes!" The virtuous nephew is so right, our uncle and nephew mean exactly that! ”

Tong Guonai said angrily: "Fart, your uncle Tong Yangjia is an old and important minister of the little emperor of Shenwu, he wants to surrender?" Do you think we can believe it? ”

Tong Tuchang knelt on the ground with a grunt, and said with tears in his eyes: "Big brother! You don't know what kind of life my little brother and uncle have had in the past few years! Big brother, look at my hands! After Tong Tuchang finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand, and his little finger and ring finger had been cut off together.

"Big brother, this is the faint gentleman who forced me to follow him back then, and ordered him to break his younger brother's finger for life!" This is true, when Zhu Hongsan caught the pseudonym Dong Yuan and Dong Chang's uncle and nephew in the brothel, in order to pry their mouths open, he ordered Zhu Hongyi to break off Tong Tuchang's two fingers.

After Tong Tuchang finished speaking, he took off his coat, revealing the whip marks on his back, these whip marks were some years old, and the wound was two fingers wide, lying on Tong Tuchang's back like a centipede.

"Big brother, these whip marks were ordered by that bastard emperor Zhu Hongsan, just because the younger brother didn't give him a good errand, he ordered someone to beat the younger brother ten whips, and the younger brother lay on the bed for half a year before he could get up!"

The more Tong Tuchang spoke, the more angry he became, remembering that his uncle and nephew had already been miserable and displaced, how could he think that he would be beaten up after taking refuge in Zhu Hongsan, and he would cry when he was lying on the ground in a sad place!

However, Tong Tuchang's performance did not impress Tong Tulai, Tong Tulai asked: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid these can make your uncle and nephew surrender!" ”

After Tong Tuchang finished crying, he stood up and put on his clothes, and then said: "Big brother is right, although that bastard emperor has insulted us many times, my uncle and nephew still have some industries in Guangdong. In the past, my uncle and nephew thought that this was the case, although Zhu Hongsan was a tyrant, at least his life was not in danger, but now it is different. Now that our Tong family has taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty, if this news reaches Zhu Hongsan's ears, according to his suspicious nature, he will definitely not let go of our uncle and nephew! Did the eldest brother hear about Chen Zizhuang? When Zhu Hongsan first arrived in Guangdong, in order to gain a firm foothold in Chen Zizhuang, he also made him the first assistant, but now? After leaving Guangdong, he immediately fell into the well. Our uncle and nephew also discussed, Zhu Hongsan is really not a good monarch, it is better to vote for the Qing Dynasty, as long as he can keep his wealth! ”

Tong Tuchang's words made Tong Tulai believe half of it, saying that it was nonsense to say that relatives were related, and only the fear that the news would reach Zhu Hongsan's ears was fundamental. I still have some understanding of the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan Tong Tulai, I heard that he was born in the market back then, and he completely started this family business from scratch, if it is compared to Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they are all the same ruthless, ruthless and unrighteous! The first assistant Chen Zizhuang was only a little resistant to him, and he was immediately sent to the whole family, and I heard that several of Chen Zizhuang's sons were all sent to Luzon. If the news of the Tong family in the north reaches Nanjing, I believe that Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew will not be able to please him.

Tong Tulai was caught by Tong Tuchang in this way, but he didn't complain about him, how could he, a middle-level Manchu official, know the secret of the party struggle in the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Chen Zizhuang's deposition was ostensibly a taboo against Zhu Hongsan, but it was fundamentally a struggle between the Guangdong faction and the Huguang faction, and Zhu Hongsan's ruling base had been transferred to Nanzhili, so naturally there was no need to accommodate the Guangdong faction in everything, so Chen Zizhuang, as the leader of the Guangdong faction, was deposed. However, this kind of high-level politics does not say that Tong Tulai does not know, even Tong Tuchang, who is a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level, does not know the ins and outs of the whole incident. Although Tong Tuchang is a political envoy, he is nothing at all in the Central Committee, and he is not qualified to participate in the political struggle!

Tong Tulai already believed half of what Tong Tuchang said, but he was still curious about what good news Tong Tuchang had in favor of the Tong family, you must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now in a stalemate with Nanming, after more than half a year of successive battles, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost a total of more than 500,000 troops in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Nanzhili, and now it is unable to fight with Nanming.

"Brother Xian, you just said that it is beneficial to the Tong family, tell me what a good idea it is!"

"Hehe, the eldest brother knows that the younger brother is the envoy of the peace talks, and the bottom line of the peace talks given by the faint monarch Zhu Hongsan is to release back the 6,000 taels of white flag soldiers captured in Jiangxi, as well as 30,000 Mongolian cavalry! These people are all descendants of Dolgon, if they come back, it will not be good for Emperor Shunzhi, the younger brother will tell the eldest brother the news first, isn't this good news for the Tong family? ”

This news is too important, you must know that the entire Manchurian nation is only more than 200,000 people, the organized Eight Banners are only more than 60,000 people, and the two white flags, which are the elite, lost 30,000 people at once, but it hurt Dolgon's muscles and bones. This is also the reason why after Dolgon returned to Beijing, he took the opportunity of cracking down on the blue flag Zilharang to transfer a large number of blue flag banners to Zhengbai.

If Dolgon gets 6,000 reinforcements from two white flags at this time, then the current balance between the DPRK and China will be broken, and even if Dolgon does not want to usurp the throne, his cronies and generals will force him to wear yellow robes.

Tong Tuchang then whispered on the side: "Big brother, I heard that the Queen Mother's cronies Zilharang is unlucky, and now is the time when the Queen Mother's faction needs help, if the eldest brother tells the Queen Mother the news at this time, plus the younger brother is presiding over the peace talks, the two of us will stir up the peace talks, or let Dolgon's six thousand taels of white flag soldiers all defect to the Queen Mother, so that the status of the eldest brother in the Queen Mother's heart will not rise?" ”

Should I say it or not, Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew are very good at playing with psychology, Tong Tuchang's rhetoric was taught to him by Tong Yangjia when he was in Nanjing, Tong Yangjia estimated that as long as the head of the Tong family was not a fool, he would definitely agree to do so.

Tong Tulai stood up and paced in the room after listening to Tong Tuchang's words, totaling while walking in his heart, what Tong Tuchang said was too important to himself. The Tong family was born as a military general, and it was okay when he was in the Northeast, after all, he needed these generals to fight, but after entering the customs, the status of the generals gradually declined, and now Tong Tulai's status is not as good as those Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered later.

Now the first class of cronies around the empress dowager are the Manchurian nobles headed by Prince Li Daishan and Prince Zheng Zierharang, and the second class is the Wenchen who entered the customs with Emperor Taiji, such as Fan Wencheng and others. The third class is those former Ming officials who surrendered, such as Chen Mingxia, etc., and these Han generals in Liaodong became raised by their stepmothers, and they really didn't love their grandmothers and uncles.

However, with Tong Tuchang's plan, as long as he can succeed, he will immediately become the queen mother's henchman, and when the time comes, plus his daughter has become Shunzhi's concubine, then the Tong family will be prosperous in the future!

Tong Tulai calculated the gains and losses, turned his head and asked, "Brother Xian, you and your uncle are so concerned about the Tong family, what do you want?" ”

Tong Tuchang heard Tong Tulai ask this, knowing that he had already fallen into the trap, he smiled and said: "Big brother, it's very simple, my uncle is old, after eliminating Nanming, my uncle just wants to be a rich man, and the younger brother I want to be a governor!" ”

It is very reasonable, Tong Tulai nodded and said: "Now my brother can't be the master, my brother wants to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, please go back first, and naturally inform the virtuous brother if there is news!" ”

Tong Tuchang's own task was completed, and it was not something he could predict how the situation would develop in the future, so Tong Tuchang got up to say goodbye and returned to the post station to wait.

Tong Guonai saw Tong Tuchang leave and asked, "Uncle, do you really want to listen to what this villain said?" ”

Tong Tulai shook his head and said: "No matter what he is, whether he is right or wrong, as long as our Tong family tells the Queen Mother the news, it will be a great achievement, and what to do when the time comes, please ask the Queen Mother to decide!" ”
