Chapter 175: Master and Slave
After Dolgon and Li Yongfang returned to Shen 0yang with the results of the peace talks, Huang Taiji did not get angry with Dolgon and Li Yongfang, who were in charge of the peace talks, because the Ming Dynasty wanted to form a father-son country with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the contrary, Huang Taiji also rewarded the two of them greatly, and let Dolgon receive the positive red flag in addition to the positive white flag.
And Li Yongfang, the forehead, was also promoted to the marquis, and was promoted to the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
Although Huang Taiji knew that with his current strength in the Qing Dynasty, there was no way to get any benefits from the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Huang Taiji also knew that it was already a great gift to them that the Ming Dynasty was no longer banned.
Although there were still private merchants and border generals secretly transporting food, iron and other necessities to Manchuria, it was still difficult to solve the existential crisis brought to Manchuria by the increasing natural disasters and the increasing population.
Especially after Zhu Youxiao confiscated the Eight Great Jin Merchants and increased the control of the border army, Huang Taiji was forced to enter the customs in advance to invade the Ming Dynasty.
But Huang Taiji had to admit that as long as there was no large-scale peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could still control the country, then the Ming Dynasty would not be able to mess with the sea, and he Huang Taiji could only hope to reconcile with the Ming court, rather than relying on war to solve the crisis, because the latter was more difficult.
Therefore, the Emperor knew that there was really no reason for them to ask for any other benefits, and that the result that Dorgon was able to negotiate was the result of his efforts.
However, Huang Taiji did not dispel the idea of entering the Central Plains one day.
Huang Taiji has changed the Wenguan into the Inner History Academy, the Inner Secretary Academy, and the Inner Hongwen Academy, and Fan Wencheng, the most powerful strategist around Huang Taiji, was naturally regarded as a guest of honor and became a bachelor of the Inner Secretary Academy.
On this day, Huang Taiji heard that Fan Wencheng felt slightly sick, and even came to Fan Wencheng's house to visit him in person, but Fan Wencheng, who had been infected with the habits of Tartar slaves, was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground: "The master came, but the slave didn't know, please punish the master!" ”
Now Fan Wencheng has also become one of the few senior staff members who can call himself a slave in front of Huang Taiji, so he will suddenly say the word "slave" after seeing Huang Taiji.
"Get up, you don't have to be so formal, I came to you today to hear that you were sick and came to see you, and secondly, I wanted to talk to you a few words, now, we and Daming can be regarded as a reconciliation, but whether it is him Zhu Youxiao or I, we all know that this paper contract is just a delaying tactic, at least I don't want his Zhu family to keep occupying the great rivers and mountains in the pass!"
After Huang Taiji said this, he sat directly on the chair opposite Fan Wencheng and asked, "In your opinion, how long can this Ming Dynasty survive?" ”
In Huang Taiji's view, the Ming Dynasty is full of domestic crises, the rule of officials is already corrupt, and the struggle for party power is continuous, and it will not die.
And he is familiar with history, and he doesn't think that there is a dynasty in this world that can enjoy the country for more than 200 years and then come back for another 200 years, as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but only two or three hundred years, so he asked.
"What the master said is very true, even if Zhu Youxiao has the heart to revive the Ming Dynasty, he is powerless to return to the sky, and the slave watched the sky last night, and Ziweixing has also moved north, which can show that the destiny of heaven is in the master, you are not in his Zhu Youxiao, his Zhu family has dominated the pass for more than 200 years, which has made the people miserable, and disasters have been repeated, in terms of slaves, even if the master you don't go to crusade, the Ming of his Zhu family will only live for more than 20 years."
Fan Wencheng's words made Huang Taiji nod his head: "Sir's words are reasonable, but now is not the time to start another war with the Ming Court, the top priority is the two forces of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, which disturb my Qing Dynasty rear is very unstable, these two bandits are not eliminated, and I will not be able to concentrate my forces to seize the land of the Daling River from Wu Xiang." ”
Hearing Huang Taiji mention this matter, Fan Wenchen also nodded silently and said yes.
Both of them knew that the greatest threat to the Qing Dynasty now was indeed not the Ming Dynasty, nor the Guanning Army Wu Xiangbu who was also fighting hard and recuperating, but Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, who were wandering and often attacked their Qing rear.
However, Fan Wencheng knew that since Huang Taiji came to find him, he naturally wanted to give a solution by himself.
Therefore, without waiting for Huang Taiji to ask again, Fan Wencheng got up and bowed to Huang Taiji and said:
"Don't worry, master, although these two thieves are uncertain, but they are not without a way to deal with it, as far as the slaves know, this Yuan Chonghuan is a civilian official, and Mao Wenlong was originally a military attache in Denglai, and Yuan Chonghuan tried to get rid of Mao Wenlong before that, but because of Zhu Youxiao's obstruction, Mao Wenlong was not punished, however, because of this, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, from the perspective of the slave, since we have reached a reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty now, it is better to send someone to secretly communicate with Yuan Chonghuan and make friends with him;
If we provoke it, we don't worry that he won't kill Mao Wenlong, as long as he kills Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan's North Korean soldiers will be alone, and it will be easy for us to use the excuse that North Korea has invaded our border and exterminated Yuan Chonghuan's troops by the way. ”
After hearing Fan Wencheng say this, Huang Taiji nodded approvingly: "Mr. is worthy of being my son's room, as you said, this Yuan Chonghuan is very talented, stubborn and self-serving, and has a small amount of weapons, and he can't tolerate Mao Wenlong and other martial artists, this is the disadvantage of their Ming court scholars, and I can also take advantage of this to let him Yuan Chonghuan help me get rid of Mao Wenlong's trouble; It's just that who to see Yuan Chonghuan needs to be carefully considered. ”
And Fan Wencheng hurriedly said: "This matter is still for the slave to go in person, this Yuan Chonghuan used to be the ruler of Liaodong, and the slave also had a relationship with him." ”
……
Time has passed into the summer, and the commanders of the battalions of the Praetorian Guard, except for Chang Yanling and three others who wanted to go to the southwest and Liangguang to recruit troops but did not arrive, the commanders of the other battalions have already begun the recruitment work.
Liu Bin, who was in charge of recruiting troops in the Gyeonggi area, was almost ready to complete the recruitment work, and most of the people in this area had some hatred for the Tartars, so they were very active in responding to the call, and many of them were even famous scholars.
Qin Botong, who was in charge of recruiting troops in Xuzhou, was standing on a school field provided by a thousand households at this time, and standing in front of him was the first batch of new Praetorian Guard soldiers.
But although because of the high salary of the Praetorian Guards and the fact that there are many landless displaced people, there are not many people who come to enlist, and there are tens of thousands of people in this first batch alone, but Qin Botong is very disappointed by this.
Because the soldiers standing in front of him were almost no different from beggars, most of them were as thin as firewood, and few were big and round.
Moreover, these people who responded to the call stood and sat one by one, and even Qin Botong and other Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers taught for a week in a row, so that most of them could distinguish between left and right.
However, just because of such a trivial matter as turning left and right, thousands of people were brushed off.
And Aobai is not good to go there, the people of Qin have not had enough to eat, but now they have heard that they can be soldiers and eat food, and almost the whole village has rushed to some places.
Ao Bai had to find local state and county officials to exclude the elderly or those who were only children at home, and then screened them according to the principles put forward by Zhu Youxiao before leaving 30,000 people ready for the intensive training.
Fu Dahai's recruitment work in Huguang is also going smoothly, but the elimination rate is also very high.
