Chapter 536: Chess Opponent (2)

The interrogation should have been in the form of squeezing toothpaste, asking a little bit and talking a little, but this time there was no such trouble, the middle-aged man said very happily, without the slightest concealment and hesitation, in fact, this person is very strange, once the heart knot is opened, there is no place for scruples.

In the process of the middle-aged man's confession, not only Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze, but even the officials who recorded were shocked.

The middle-aged man is actually a Han man from Liaodong, or a local student, and he can be regarded as a scholar, when the Houjin looted, he was caught, and he originally held the belief that he would die, but unfortunately he was taken by a certain officer of the Houjin and dedicated to a certain Han minister of the Houjin, this minister is also powerful enough, and specially sent a Tartar to arrest the middle-aged man's family, in this case, the middle-aged man succumbed and began to serve the Houjin.

This minister of Houjin is none other than Fan Wencheng.

Through the confession of the middle-aged man, Su Tiancheng knew that Fan Wencheng had been persuading Huang Taiji, giving preferential treatment to the Han people, prompting Huang Taiji to make the right decision, absorbing literati, and doing his best to change the relationship between different ethnic groups, elevating the status of the Han people, and restricting the privileges of the Manchus.

Since Azig entered the customs and plundered in June and suffered a crushing defeat, Huang Taiji began to pay attention to Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, and took all possible methods to deal with Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, and such planning has been going on for several months.

The person in charge of this work is none other than Fan Wencheng.

For this reason, Huang Taiji took out a large amount of gold and silver, and finally promoted this work through all aspects of the relationship, Huang Taiji knew very well that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were intrigued. Neither of them buys it, plus Fan Wencheng is familiar with the habits of the Han people, the combination of the two is very likely to completely defeat Su Tiancheng through secret means, as long as Su Tiancheng encounters an accident. The Jiangning battalion will not be much of a threat.

After the middle-aged man said these things, Su Tiancheng gasped, it seems that Huang Taiji is really powerful, although there is Fan Wencheng to serve, but Huang Taiji must be able to listen, Huang Taiji himself is a Manchu, in Houjin, the Manchus have a special status, and the rest are in the eyes of the Manchus. are all slaves, in such a situation, Huang Taiji can listen to the opinions, treat the Han and other ethnic groups well, which shows his ambition, which is also more reflected, Huang Taiji is not an ordinary talent.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but be a little worried, to be honest. Many adults in the court are blind-eyed. Fighting with each other, they didn't think about the interests of the court and the interests of the country at all, let alone consider the common people, Zhu Youzhen and Huang Taiji were too different compared to each other, one was resolute and decisive. One is indecisive, one is full of talents, one is surrounded by ministers who are mostly concerned about their own interests, one can fight well, and the other grew up in the deep palace. Whatever one may say, there is no comparison.

But no matter how good Huang Taiji was, the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and closing the country to the outside world later implemented by the Qing Dynasty made the Chinese nation collapse, and from this aspect, Su Tiancheng also had to prevent the repetition of history.

Failure once or twice, Huang Taiji will not care, and may be more persevering, but some ministers in the court can resist the temptation of rumors, who can say clearly.

"I came to the Guannai this time, the main task is to incite the Ming Dynasty guards to make trouble, Lord Fan knows that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to abolish the guard in Shaanxi, according to Lord Fan's arrangement, I pretended to be the staff of the officials in the capital, and revealed the news to the commanders of the Ningxia Wei Dynasty, their emotions are very intense, and they have also followed the advice I put forward, and they are ready to go out for activities, as for the focus of the activities, it is Beizhili, Shandong, Sichuan and other places."

"These places, but also Fan Daren's choice, Beizhili is the location of the capital, the general of the guard here makes trouble, such as to shake the imperial court, Shandong has experienced too much war, can not withstand the toss, if such news comes out, the guard officer trouble, it is very likely to cause chaos and turmoil in Shandong, as for Sichuan, in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, has always been called the country of abundance, if the officers of the guard here can make trouble, Lord Fan considered sending sergeants to encourage the sergeants in Sichuan to mutiny and rebellion."

"If there is such a situation, the adults will inevitably be affected, and in the next step, Lord Fan will plan again, and the ultimate goal is to borrow a knife to kill people, that is, to borrow the hands of the court to get rid of the adults." ……

Su Tiancheng's face was solemn.

Hearing these words for the first time, he admired Huang Taiji in his heart, who was well-planned and able to take advantage of favorable conditions in all aspects, as long as he could achieve his goal.

But there is one thing that puzzles Su Tiancheng.

The ministers in the court, even if they are poor, will not succumb to Houjin, anyway, in the eyes of these ministers, Houjin is just a handful of barbarians in the north, not to mention that the interests of many ministers themselves have not been affected, so the possibility of them taking refuge in Houjin is almost zero, let alone a high-powered minister.

There is no such thing as someone surrendering to Houjin, so how did Huang Taiji know about the news of the dismissal of the guard's army.

Judging from the situation mentioned by the middle-aged people, a lot of news, Huang Taiji is knowledgeable, this is precisely the most dangerous place, Houjin's intelligence work, to do this part, too powerful, on the other hand, Da Ming is almost ignorant of the situation of Houjin, no one can blend into Houjin's army, and no one is willing to take such a risk, don't look at Jinyiwei, when it comes to going to Liaodong controlled by Houjin to do a dark line, all of them are bloodless, and they don't go at all, so far, Su Tiancheng has obtained Houjin's information, can only rely on Huang Zaisheng.

An hour later, the middle-aged man finished.

"You said so much, it shows your sincerity, there is a question, this official wants to ask, how did Huang Taiji know so much information about my Ming Dynasty, and how did Fan Wencheng know about Lu Dao."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"In such a top-secret situation, it is impossible for me to know the Dao, and Master Fan will never say it, if I know the Dao, I will say it directly, but, according to my understanding, what works in the end is gold and silver."

Su Tiancheng nodded, agreeing with what the middle-aged man said, he actually had such an idea, this is precisely the most difficult thing to do, if it didn't take a huge amount of effort and a long time, he wouldn't be able to find out the person at all.

Huang Taiji has such ambitions, he will never feel sorry for gold and silver, coupled with Fan Wencheng's operation, using a middle-aged spy to go to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to spy on intelligence and incite riots, it is just a piece of cake.

In this world, ordinary people, including many officials, love gold and silver.

"You have a good rest, take care of your body, what the official promised you, I will definitely do."

Su Tiancheng stood up and prepared to leave.

Since Su Tiancheng said such words, the few days of middle-aged people should be better, there is no beating, and they can eat good wine and food.

"Don't you ask?"

Su Tiancheng looked at the middle-aged man with a puzzled face and smiled slightly.

"Do you think that only Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng believe you, since you have said it, there is no need for the official to ask, and the official can also tell you that whether it is Huang Taiji or Fan Wencheng, they will all fall into the hands of the official, but unfortunately, you can't see that day."

The middle-aged man didn't care, let alone avoid Su Tiancheng's eyes, and after Su Tiancheng finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly said something.

"I believe that adults can do it, when facing adults, I feel at a loss, what do I think in my heart, I can't hide it at all, the temperament of adults is the most outstanding among all the people I have ever seen, I can't describe it, don't say Fan Wencheng, it is Huang Taiji, and it may not be able to be compared."

Su Tiancheng suddenly became interested.

"So, have you ever seen Huang Taiji?"

"I've seen it from afar, when I was in Lord Fan's house, I saw Huang Taiji from afar, Huang Taiji is different from the people around him, I can see it at a glance."

"Well, you are telling the truth, this official also thinks that Huang Taiji is indeed very good, between us, it can be said that the opponent will meet the good talent, who will die, let time and facts speak."

"I admire the mind of the adult, although I am not qualified to say such a thing, but I still feel that if Huang Taiji is not able to plot against the adult, he will eventually be defeated by the adult."

Qu Qingze didn't speak all the time, and after following Su Tiancheng out, he couldn't help it.

"My lord, the lower official still wanted to ask some information, but the adult didn't ask, and the lower official was embarrassed to speak."

"Presumably you still want to ask, where did he settle down, who people he came into contact with, when he arrived at Ningxiawei's station, and which Wei commanders and envoys he contacted, is there a problem in this regard."

Qu Qingze kept nodding.

"These questions, there is really no need to ask, there are already answers, as for who he has come into contact with, think about it seriously, after he was robbed to Houjin, how could he have any connection with Guannei, his situation is very different from Huang Zaisheng, as Fan Wencheng's staff, his status is neither high nor low, and he doesn't need to do a lot of coolie work, this time he can accept the task and go deep into the Guannai, which shows that Fan Wencheng attaches great importance to this mission."

"My lord, the situation is clear, what should I do next?"

"You immediately go and implement one thing, get the middle-aged people's family out, send them to the mainland, tell them that they are never allowed to reveal their identities, and also, kill a few Houjin Tartars and send them to the middle-aged people's homes, a fire burns down their homes, don't show any flaws, make an accident, hmph, since Fan Wencheng wants to fight with me, then let's fight well."
