Chapter 184: Arrest Yuan Chonghuan
After Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa scolded Bolo that day, Bolo didn't dare to do anything to the two of them although he was angry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were directly escorted back to Shen 0yang, the Tartar Center by Huang Taiji after seeing Huang Taiji.
According to the provisions of the peace agreement, the envoys who sent the Tartars were in the Tartar country, that is, the Qing Dynasty, as if His Majesty were present, and they were treated as the monarch's father, and they needed to be escorted by the Emperor Taiji.
In addition, major ceremonies, the envoys must participate, and Huang Taiji must send a son to the embassy every day to say hello, the initial condition is that Huang Taiji comes in person, but under the efforts of Dolgon, it was finally changed to if Huang Taiji travels away, there is no way to come to the embassy every day to say goodbye, you can send a son to come.
And Huang Taiji naturally didn't want to show his posture too humble, so even in Shen 0yang, he didn't come to the embassy in person to say goodbye, and every time he came, it was Haoge.
It's been like this for a long time, Haoge has some relationship with Liu Zongzhou and other Ming envoys, and even Haoge, who has tended to be sinicized, also began to ask Liu Zongzhou for teaching, before Fulin appeared, Haoge has always regarded himself as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, so he is also the same as his Ama Huang Taiji, hoping to be the master of the Central Plains, and to be the lord of the Central Plains, he naturally has to learn the culture of the Central Plains.
Liu Zongzhou will not mention the matter of Tartar for the time being, but only talk about Wu Sangui's side.
After Huang Taiji's Manchurian Eight Banners occupied Dalinghe Fort, they continued to attack Jinzhou of Wu Xiangbu on the grounds that Wu Xiangbu intended to provoke the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty and tried to intercept the envoys of the Shangguo.
And Wu Sangui also understood the purpose of the Ming court represented by Liu Zongzhou to use the Tartar hand to get rid of his Guan Ning army, which was no longer tolerated by the imperial court.
Although he was a little angry, Wu Sangui did not give up, and in addition to strengthening the defense of Jinzhou, he himself led the elite cavalry to gallop towards Shanhaiguan in person.
Now that Liu Zongzhou's letter is in his own hands, he doesn't believe that the king of Liaodong Jinglu will meet him without leaving the city in Jin.
Moreover, Wu Sangui planned to paralyze Wang Zaijin while taking advantage of the fast speed of the fine horse to rush into Shanhaiguan.
For this reason, Wu Sangui and the elite cavalry he brought were dressed as Tartars, in order to provoke a war between Tartars and the Ming Dynasty.
But when Wu Sangui came to Shanhaiguan, he found that Shanhaiguan had been closed, and the caravans that had been in and out in the past were now gone.
"Li Changshang go and have a look", Wu Sangui ordered, and as soon as the man who looked quite majestic rushed over with a team of cavalry.
But as soon as he rushed forward, the fine steel wire as thin as a hair cut Li Changshang of the Guanning army in half like a sharp blade, and the other cavalry did the same.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered the other cavalry to retreat, and he himself said in surprise: "What is this king going to do in Jin, haven't they already reached a peace agreement with the Tartars and want to open the market, how can they suddenly block Shanhaiguan." ”
Just when Wu Sangui was puzzled, a series of arrows rained down all over the sky, and all of them were full of power and had a long range.
"Retreat!"
Wu Sangui hurriedly shouted and turned his horse's head and galloped back, but many cavalrymen were shot into hedgehogs before they could do so.
Wu Sangui couldn't help but be furious, and roared angrily: "What are you doing here, I just want to come to see your supervisor, why bother with each other like this, and we have a letter from your Liu Zongzhou Master Liu." ”
At this time, a military attache in Guancheng replied loudly: "According to the decree of the imperial court, Shanhaiguan will be tightly sealed from today, no matter who is close to Shanhaiguan, it will be killed!" The Inspector also has an order to suspend the bazaar trade, and Shanhaiguan has entered a state of martial law, so it's best to go back as soon as possible! No one's letters work! ”
"Zhu Youxiao!"
Wu Sangui looked up to the sky and yelled and had to beat his horse and leave, now that Shanhaiguan has a sense of precaution, he can only honestly go back to the city to fight against the Tartars.
And the reason why he mentioned Zhu Youxiao naturally guessed that Da Ming was so determined to give up the Guanning army under their department, and let the Tartars slaughter was Zhu Youxiao's meaning.
However, because there is no way to retreat now, and they are now unwilling to give up their status as rulers in Liaodong, and now the Tartars, who are eager to expand their living space, now also want to not allow others to sleep on the side of the couch, so they have no intention of accepting their peace, so Wu Xiangbu can only resist to the death, and the combat effectiveness they show is much more tenacious than when they defended the city for the Ming Dynasty.
Even Wu Xiang, who was already a prince, also personally went to Jinzhou City to supervise the battle.
When Wu Xiangbu was fighting fiercely with the Tartars, Yuan Chonghuan was also proud to watch more and more soldiers and horses under his command, and he always wanted to solve the affairs of Liaodong in one fell swoop.
But now, he found that he was completely unable to dominate the situation in the entire Liaodong, and now there was another Wu Xiang department in the entire Liaodong in addition to the Tartars, and even the former Mao Wenlong Department of Dongjiang Town was stronger than him.
This made him depressed, so he decided to follow the advice that Fan Wencheng gave him when he came to visit him, which was to take action against Mao Wenlong.
He agreed with Fan Wencheng's analysis, now that he and Mao Wenlong were already one mountain and two tigers, without Mao Wenlong, he could integrate all the forces of the Ming Dynasty here, and under the leadership of his Yuan Chonghuan, he would be able to wipe out Wu Xiangbu in one fell swoop.
Of course, Yuan Chonghuan also secretly hid in his heart that he would use this to integrate forces to take action against the Manchu Tartars after pacifying Wu Xiangbu, so that he could achieve the great cause of pacifying Liaodong.
It just so happened that this day was Yuan Chonghuan's birthday, and Yuan Chonghuan wrote a very sincere letter to Mao Wenlong, the content of which naturally meant that Brother Mao must appreciate the light and come to his own territory to eat and drink.
After learning that Mao Wenlong agreed to come, Yuan Chonghuan ambushed the sword and axe hand left and right, preparing to get rid of Mao Wenlong in the same way that Emperor Zhengde eliminated Liu Jin.
This night, it was already in the sky, Yuan Chonghuan changed into his regular clothes and sat in the main hall, and after looking at the warriors hidden in the shadows, he asked, "Why hasn't General Mao come yet?" ”
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, a team of brocade guards walked in, and the leader of them was naturally Shen Lian.
Shen Lian held the holy decree in one hand and the embroidered spring knife in the other at this time, and shouted: "At the behest of Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan secretly collaborated with traitors and had ill intentions, so he immediately dismissed all his posts, arrested him in Beijing, and interrogated him strictly!" ”
As he spoke, Shen Lian waved his hand: "Take it!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he was going to take Mao Wenlong by himself tonight, but it turned out that he was taken by His Majesty, he instinctively slapped the table and relied on the fact that this was still his own territory, so he asked: "Slow!" How can this official let you Jinyi Wei say take it, where are the left and right swords and axes! The official suspected that this group of people was Mao Wenlong's people pretending to be Jinyi Guards, pretending to pass on the holy decree, and killing them all! ”
Yuan Chonghuan didn't want to give up his plan because of His Majesty's will, so he decided to be ruthless, no matter whether the group of brocade guards in front of him was true or false, he would also insist that it was fake, and then kill all of them in one fell swoop.
However, it didn't take long for Yuan Chonghuan to be surprised again, because these cronies and generals on his left and right also stood up, and one of them arched his hand towards Yuan Chonghuan and said: "Forgive me, Dashuai, until now, we dare not hide it, we are all spies of Jinyiwei, and we followed Dashuai to North Korea and then came here again by His Majesty's order, and now Your Majesty does have a will to take you, this is the commander of Jinyiwei and Shen Lian, who is not Mao Wenlong's person."
