No. 039 The Emperor's Careful Thoughts

PS: Keep asking for recommendation votes! There is a shift from 9 to 10 p.m.!

It's a pity that he didn't wait for Chen Bangyan to arrive in Nanjing, and the policy of borrowing Pingkou was set in the form of a holy decree, and Zhu Youhua, who had been extremely repulsive to this policy, suddenly loosened his tone, and the Donglin cabinet headed by Shi Kefa instantly understood that there was a play, and they didn't say a word, and immediately made up the food and salary of the guard camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info got what he wanted, and Zhu Youhua was embarrassed to refuse their suggestions again, in fact, he didn't want to refuse anymore.

He decided to make a plan and sent Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu to negotiate peace with the Qing court! Reflecting the current weakness of the Southern Ming Dynasty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in order to paralyze Dolgon, influence his strategic decision-making, put the main goal on destroying Shun, reduce the troops stationed in Shandong and Henan, and also give Zhu Youhua some time to rectify internal affairs and farm and train troops.

In early May, Zhu Youhua convened a group of ministers to discuss the matter of rewarding Wu Sangui for meritorious service and sending envoys to liaise with the Qing side.

In the end, it was decided to seal the gate of the general soldier Ping Xibo Wu Sangui as the Duke of Jiguo, give coupons, Lu rice, 30,000 taels of silver, 30,000 stones of rice, and send them to the officials. This is the result of Zhu Youhua's strong resistance, originally they wanted to send 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of rice, what a group of losers!

There were more than 300 envoys to the Qing court, and the three leaders were Zhu Youhua's personal orders, namely Zhu Guochang, the deputy envoy of the imperial capital, Chen Hongfan, the deputy envoy of the crown prince Taifu Zuodu, and Ma Shaoyu, the young secretary of Taichang Temple.

Zhu Guochang is one of the leaders of Yanguan Qingliu, a few days ago, he didn't make trouble with him, Zhu Youhua just took this opportunity to send him away, first, he can weaken Donglin's strength, and secondly, he can also find trouble for Donglin.

If his bones are hard, the Manchu Qing will definitely not be able to tolerate him, and when the time comes, it will be just to kill people with a knife to remove an obstacle for him, if his bones are not hard, and he can't resist the pressure and surrender to the Tartars, then it will be better, Zhu Youhua can use this reason to stink the Donglin Party and use the facts to show their hypocritical faces to the world. This plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and it is despicable and shady enough, but when it is used to deal with the Donglin party, he has no psychological pressure at all, he only hates that the effect cannot be better!

Needless to say, Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu are both soft bones, and Chen Hongfan is also Hong Chengchou's son-in-law, but unfortunately the two are not Donglin Party, in the original history, they have already secretly communicated with the Qing court, and when discussing the money, they reflected the reality of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing regent Dolgon, so that Dolgon temporarily relaxed his vigilance against Nanming and went all out to deal with Li Chuang.

Zhu Youhua knew that history still sent them, just to let them play the role of Jiang Gan stealing books, the current Ming Dynasty is very unbearable, will the Ming Dynasty still be like this a year later? Not necessarily!

After the chief and deputy envoys of the mission were determined by the holy decree, the ministers began to discuss how much money should be used to buy the Jiannu, and the Ming Dynasty lost the heavy burden of the north, and the finances were much more lenient than those of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the total of the true color was roughly not less than seven million taels a year.

However, the expenses are also large, the left part of Wuchang, 60,000 Beijing soldiers, Jiangdu, the four towns, Huang Binqing, Huang Fei, Bu Congshan and other towns with a total of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, all stretched out their hands to the imperial court to ask for military expenses, the four towns of Jiangbei because of the merits of support, have successively allocated more than one million taels of silver, although the military expenses of other towns can be delayed for the time being, and after the summer tax is paid, it will always have to be given, and then the finances will be tight again.

After some negotiations, it was finally decided to give 200,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 horses of silk, which were transported by the mission to Beijing and presented to the Dongyu.

Zhu Youhua not only did not oppose this time, but also ordered Zuo Li Sanshi, the general of the guard battalion, to personally lead 50 guards to escort the food and salary to the north with the mission. After the mission arrived in Huai'an, he took out his edict to intercept the food and salary, and made it clear to the chief and deputy envoys that when they got the agreement of the Qing court's letter of state, they would send the food and salary to the north. He also secretly warned Li Sanshi that no matter whether the mission obtained the letter of state agreement or not, gold, silver and silk could not be sent to the enemy's territory to finance the enemy, and he would send someone to mediate between the DPRK and China, so there was no need to worry.

In the original history, the Qing court not only swallowed the gold, silver and silk of the mission, but also did not sign the letter agreement, it was completely playing the Ming Dynasty mission, without the slightest sincerity in negotiation.

With the three or four hundred people of the peace mission out of Nanjing City, the Donglin Fushe disciples advocated the policy of "uniting the capture and leveling the Kou" has finally been achieved, they are in twos and threes, calling friends, gathered in the Qinglou restaurant, writing poems and drinking to celebrate, pointing out the country, scolding Fang Xuan, so unexpected.

"Expelling the thieves, recovering Shenjing, giving up my Donglin, and restoring the gentlemen of the Society, who else can still take on this great task?"

"Jiangnan is still the world of my generation......"

With the heroic boasting, the festive atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

In this beautiful moment of collective cheering and celebration among the party, there are still some people hiding in dark corners, grinding their fangs with hatred.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Ma Shiying was sandwiched between the cabinet and the emperor, and his life was very uncomfortable.

In view of the fact that he offended the Donglin Party too hard because of his support before, he has been firmly nailed to the label of "Tingfu faction" at this moment. No matter how he showed goodwill, he couldn't change the opinion of the Donglin ministers about him. forced him to go to the end with the emperor with one heart, and from then on the interests are one, the more stable the emperor's throne, the more prosperous his career, the looser the emperor's throne, and the more declining his career. Even for his own sake, he has to find a way to help a group of emperors and break the current embarrassing situation of monarchs and ministers!

It's just that his current status is a cabinet minister, and he has a lot of official business on weekdays, and it is very inconvenient to see the emperor, even if he has any plans, he can't convey them to the emperor at the first time. If you make a suggestion, it will not only take a long time but also have a lot of processes, and the confidentiality will not be good if it changes hands many times.

After thinking about it, he decided to recommend a talent to the emperor, a close relationship with him and also his great benefactor of Ma Shiying-Ruan Dacheng!

Ruan Dacheng, Wanli forty years of Jinshi, the beginning of the apocalypse was promoted to the matter, because there is a teacher named Gao Panlong, and there is a fellow and old friend named Zuo Guangdou, so he joined the Donglin Party, and once made great contributions to the struggle against the old opponent of the Donglin Party, Fang Congzhe's hardcore Shi Jikai and others, and has since become the backbone. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, due to disagreements within the organization, he lost his qualifications to serve as the official and broke with Donglin.
