Chapter 226: The Turning Point (6)
Zhu Cihong didn't know that Fan Wencheng was his confidant, and in dealing with the Donglin Party, a north-south dispute was directly resolved. In the early struggle of the Qing Dynasty, the party struggle almost became invisible, and the arrogance of the Donglin Party was directly dissipated, although Jiangnan was fundamentally lost, but the direct reason was that the Qing court pressed the south from the north, and there were eight banners as the backing, and the demotion could not talk about integrity, so the Donglin Party that tossed the Ming Dynasty for decades miraculously disappeared completely.
This move is very ingenious, and it also makes Fan Wencheng more confident.
Invisibly, the reliance and trust in Hong Chengchou gradually faded.
Some of these things, Hong Chengchou himself is also very clear, he invited himself to go out, and has decided that in the future, he will be obscure, talk less, do less things, and focus on keeping a low profile in everything.
Otherwise, if there is no invocation in the court, and if you lose the trust of the nine kings, don't talk about the future, and your surname and life can also be worried.
Seeing that Fan Wencheng's words seemed to have the meaning of interrogation, so Shuang Lang smiled and replied: "The student was ordered to go out with the British prince, and he was thinking about how to train the standard battalion directly under him, and he should also discipline the soldiers strictly. ”
His Fujian official dialect has been in the north for many years, but he has improved a lot, and he is correct and round.
"It's good to have no worries." Ning Wan said calmly: "Lao Hong, you are in charge of an army alone, but the trust of the Nine Princes in you, you yourself have to be more careful." ”
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou just smiled and agreed.
Seeing that he was speechless, I smiled with satisfaction and took a step back. He and Fan Wencheng were both qualified to ride horses in the forbidden city, but at this time, they were waiting for the sedan chair outside the palace gate.
"In that case, Ninth Elder, please."
"Yes, the student said goodbye to the two old gentlemen."
Hong Chengchou arched his hand with a dashing expression, turned his head and walked away with a spring breeze on his face, looking very happy that Dolgon was very satisfied with his arrangement today.
It's no wonder that from a strategist and strategist, and without the identity of a prominent strategist, he can go out and take charge of an army all the way, all the way to Xi'an, and his military merits will certainly not be small.
He was originally famous among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty for knowing soldiers and being able to lead soldiers, but now let him go out to lead troops, isn't it the trust of the Nine Kings?
"Elder Yue," when Hong Chengchou was far away, Ning Wan smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that Hong Xiangjiu is really happy to lead the troops, and he has nothing to say about the expedition." ”
"Well, it seems to be too."
On the face of it, this is indeed the case.
However, Fan Wencheng knows Hong Chengchou too well. This southerner Han official is so scheming that he is simply jealous, and he doesn't need to have much contact to know that this surnamed Hong is too smart.
The geographical mountains and rivers in the south, the rivers and fortresses, and the historical evolution and strategic points of each military town, can be said to be a big one if you think about it.
In the previous advances, where can they hit, whether they can divide the troops, and this time they have entered the customs, how can this Hong's strength be small?
Now that he is not needed, how can this guy have no resentment in his heart?
However, at least on the surface, Hong Chengchou was convinced, admitted, and relented. Fan Wencheng actually has a personal relationship with this person, and he is also very clear about Jiuwang's jealousy of someone Hong.
Shaving hair and marching into the army are indeed very taboo.
Now that he had nothing to do, he nodded, and smiled at Ning Wan: "In this way, I will reply to the Ninth Prince, Hong has nothing to say, and is willing to lead the army...... That's it. ”
He is much older than Ning Wan, although they are all bachelors of the Third Inner Academy, but he can't help but speak with a commanding tone.
"Okay, I got it."
Fortunately, I didn't mind Ning Wan, and when I arrived outside the palace gate, the two arched each other and said goodbye.
When they arrived at their mansion, the subordinates took the lamp all the way to send Fan Wencheng into the study, and after lighting the lamps and candles, they tiptoed out one by one.
However, Fan Wencheng didn't mean to start writing today, sitting in the chair, looking at the finished pen and ink in a daze.
The surname Hong really changed his opinion, did he not bear to go south to attack the old king, or was it really not time to go south?
After thinking about it for a long time, I was also hesitant in my heart.
When it was dawn, I didn't sleep all night, and I was still puzzled after getting up, but the palace quickly sent someone over, and a leader arrived on horseback, and after saluting Fan Wencheng, he said loudly: "The regent asks Mr. Fan to enter the palace as soon as possible...... The prince is waiting for Mr. to write an edict to the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Oh, I see!"
The surname of the Nine Kings is urgent, and the things that have been decided will never be changed, the matter of shaving their hair is already a matter in the hearts of the Nine Kings, and Fan Wencheng knows it very well.
If it is Huang Taiji, if he has doubts in his heart, he will definitely say it, and then the monarch and the ministers will discuss it, and there will always be another result. Moreover, if Huang Taiji has a mistake, he will always admit it readily and will not feel embarrassed.
Even if the hair is shaved, when in the customs, the emperor Taiji is afraid that the world has not been obtained, and the people will be comfortable, so they are not allowed to change their clothes, after entering the customs, Fan Wencheng comes to see with his selfish intentions, if the flag people learn Han costumes, the world can almost be passed on, if the Ming people are dressed, Nanjing has Chongzhen, there are still some opportunities.
It would be unwise to force you to shave your hair now.
Of course, he will never say this kind of thing, nor will he participate in the meaning indiscriminately, such a national and vulgar event, what if he is a Han bachelor, what if he enters the flag, isn't he looking for death? Which prince Baylor is worried about, and now the nine kings use him, if he is abandoned in the future, I am afraid that the whole family will have to be killed.
At the moment, he was facing a leader, and he was also smiling, and he immediately agreed.
Then naturally he changed his robe, and the sedan chair man was ready to enter the palace, and as for what Hong thought and thought, he immediately left it behind.
Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan answered each other fluently, smiling at the time, and when he returned to his study, he felt sweaty and heavy clothes.
He is a person who attaches great importance to enjoyment and comfort, and even in the army, it is inevitable to wash and change into clean clothes. When he arrived in his room, his handsome servants came forward to serve, wiped his hair and face, and changed into clean and comfortable clothes.
After everything was done, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to go out.
Half leaning on the Taishi chair, he also let out a long breath.
The suspicion and suspicion of the nine kings are obvious.
Ning Wan, I obviously came to see his reaction, and it was also a loss to him for dealing with it properly. Even if Fan Wencheng has any suspicions, there is no clear evidence, and he will not exhaustively investigate it.
Now it seems that Dolgon's power is getting bigger and stronger, and in a few months, it has changed very quickly.
I think it will be more and more difficult to serve in the future, and I still have a lot of words in my heart, and now it seems that there is no need to say more.
Originally, the Qing Dynasty did have a founding atmosphere in his opinion, although it was Yidi, but since ancient times, Yidi entered China and was Huaxia, and this layer does not need to be taken care of.
But now it seems that the Nine Kings are too rigid and too insistent on clothing and clothing, and they are afraid that there will be a big mess in the future.
And the king of England is arrogant, King Zheng is weak and useless, and the rest are like Nikan and the like, which are of little use. Most of the founding kings are in twilight, and most of them are not in good health, and most of them will fall within ten years.
Now it seems that even if the Qing Dynasty can win the world, it will have twists and turns, and it will be very difficult.
Great situation, why so!
Thinking of this, I naturally feel sorry for myself. The difficulty of the dead festival, there is no need to mention the matter of Songshan, I want to go all the way to the dark, because it must be difficult for the thieves to succeed, even if they can occasionally defeat the Qing army once or twice, the whole system is too far apart, and sooner or later it will be defeated.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, if the Qing Dynasty made a wrong move, there might be a chance to counterattack, even if it could not be prosperous, the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was very likely.
Originally, it was the best place for himself, but after the defeat of Songshan surrendered, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to hate himself to the bone, even if he was still loyal, when he was in Shengjing, he thought that Chongzhen might die in the city, in the hands of thieves, and he couldn't help but cry.
But the emperor will cut it off to himself!
After thinking about it, isn't there only the word "panic".
Under the shadow of the lamp, he also sighed for a long time, and it was difficult to feel comfortable, and at this moment, there was a soft sound of knocking on the door outside.
"Who?" In front of his subordinates, Hong Chengchou was very majestic, and said to the outside in a cold voice: "Didn't you say that you shouldn't come over and fight if you have nothing to do?" ”
"Yes," the voice outside was also timid: "Zhou Xianggong is here, please show the master, can you see him?" ”
"Oh? It's him? ”
Zhou Zhong's reputation is really stinky, the genius of the main alliance of the Restoration Society, the thief just entered the Zhengyang Gate and he went to greet him, leading people all the way to the forbidden palace, and later the palace caught fire, many palace people threw themselves into the river, when the news of the prince and Emperor Chongzhen escaped did not come, Zhou Zhong actually spit on the palace ban, and scolded: "The thief of the remnants of the people, it is good to die." ”
In the end, it is the old king, fortunately he is not dead, if Chongzhen dies, he will have to be beaten underground by this gangster.
Such a shameless work, as soon as the Qing army entered the city, of course, it was the first to surrender, and when Dolgon hired people, Shilin enemies like Feng Quan were used, and it was not a problem to use a more inferior Zhou Zhong.
This person has no relationship with him, and his reputation is too stinky, but when Hong Chengchou was about to refuse, he suddenly sighed deeply, and as soon as the words came out, he was: "Please go to the living room and wait." ”
This mansion is also a special gift, although it is in the outer city, but it is also considered an elegant environment, the pattern is extraordinary, it seems to be the former residence of a court official, Hong Chengchou didn't bother to pay attention to it for a while, and walked out of the door, and when he arrived in the living room, Zhou Zhong, who was wearing a green robe, had been waiting for a long time.
"I've seen Nine Elders in my late life."
"It's you, didn't you go to your teacher's house today?"
Hong Chengchou came up to joke, and Zhou Zhong had to smile bitterly. As soon as the army entered the city, he worshipped Niu Jinxing as a teacher, and his mouth was full: "Teacher Niu loves me, and Teacher Niu knows it." Shilin is now rumored to be a joke, and Hong Chengchou came up and said that although it was a joke, it was also a little negative.
"The Nine Elders laughed at the students."
Zhou Zhong's face was very thick, Hong Chengchou only smiled and shook his head, seeing that this person was still with a personal companion, standing in front of the hall with his clothes and bag, because he glanced at it, although he was a young man, but he was an ordinary person, he was not very good, so he went into the living room with his hands behind his back.
