Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Grieved Emperor
Nanjing was captured, and the news that Zheng Chenggong was sitting on the dragon chair was sent to the hands of all walks of life in the late Ming Dynasty with the fast horses of spies from all walks of life.
In Zhaoqing Palace, Yongli said to Qu Shiyun worriedly: "Qu Aiqing, is that rumor true?" Is Zheng Mingyan really openly sitting on the dragon chair? ”
Qu Shiyun hesitated for a while before saying: "Back to the emperor, this matter has been witnessed by many people, it should be true!" ”
Yongli immediately said in a panic when he heard it; "Then Zheng Mingyan is deliberately plotting to usurp the throne, is he preparing to kill me?"
Qu Shiyun said uncertainly: "The minister doesn't dare to talk about it, Weichen heard that Zheng Mingyan just sat for a while, so he left quickly under Wang Zhongxiao's reprimand. Weichen didn't dare to guarantee whether Zheng Mingyan was on a whim or on purpose! ”
Yongli said with some concern: "Qu Aiqing, Guangdong is too close to Zheng Mingyan's chassis. I can't sleep and eat, why don't I go to Guangxi under Li Dingguo's rule? ”
Qu Shiyun immediately objected: "No, Your Majesty!" If you leave, you will lose the hearts of the people of Guangdong, and then I am afraid that even Guangdong will fall into the hands of Zheng Chenggong. So Your Majesty, you Jedi can't leave easily! ”
"......"
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is sending troops south, Zheng Chenggong will definitely not rebel at this time! Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong recovered the old capital, and his hard work was high, so he might as well reward Zheng Chenggong as the king of Pingnan, Li Chengdong as the king of Dingnan, Sun Kewang as the king of Pingliao, and Li Dingguo as the king of Ningxi, which can not only encircle them, but also let the four of them contain each other, so that the emperor can be worry-free! ”
"Well, I hope so. Qu Aiqing decreed that Zheng Chenggong would be the king of Pingnan and the general of the Northern Expedition. ”
"Yes!"
……
Outside Baoqing City, Sun Kewang slapped the table heavily and drank: "Zheng Mingyan has already captured the entire Yingtianfu, but we haven't even conquered a single city. The order is down, go all out to attack the city, within three days, I must take Baoqing City! ”
Feng Shuangli said worriedly: "Lord Wang, the walls of Baoqing City are tall, and there are still many Qing soldiers in the city, so the three-day period is even shorter!" ”
Ma Jinzhong also persuaded: "Lord, I heard that the Manchu Dog Emperor reinstated the edict and surrendered his minister Hong Chengchou to raise the troops of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and enter Hunan. Those who attack Baoqing City with all their strength are afraid that there will be danger, and please be careful and don't take it lightly! ”
Sun Kewang drank: "It's because I heard that Hong Chengchou that dog thief is coming, so I want to conquer Baoqing as soon as possible." Xinyang is hundreds of kilometers away from here, and it will take ten days and half a month to speed up, as long as we conquer Baoqing City within three days, we can deal with that dog thief with peace of mind! ”
When Ma Jinzhong heard it, although he felt that something was wrong, he saw that Sun Kewang was resolute, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.
Under Sun Kewang's order, the Great Western Army launched a more fierce attack on Baoqing.
……
In the study room of the Forbidden City of Jingshi, when he heard that Zheng Chenggong had captured Yingtianfu, Shunzhi Fulin completely broke out, pointed at Sony's nose and scolded angrily: "The good talents you recommend have been three months, and there has been no news yet." No, I can't wait any longer. I'm going to go out on a crusade against the thieves myself! ”
When Sonny and Suke Saha heard this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said: "The emperor is a body of ten thousand catties, how can he easily get into danger, and ask the emperor to take back his life!" ”
Hearing that these guys had come to stop him from doing it again, Shunzhi Fulin launched a furious rage.
"Do you have to wait until Zheng Haikou occupies Shandong and Henan, threatens the Beijing division and then sends troops? At that time, what is the use of sending troops? If we don't take advantage of Zheng Haikou's unstable foothold in Jiangdong and send troops to eliminate it as soon as possible, there will inevitably be endless troubles in the future! I've made up my mind! The officials will have those who will persuade them to live again, and this case is the same! ”
Emperor Shunzhi pulled out the sword used by Huang Taiji, and split a corner of the throne with a sword.
Sonny and Suke Saha saw Shunzhi Fulin's angry appearance, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to persuade them at all, so they could only gesture to the eunuch who was holding the pen.
The eunuch saw that he was quietly pushed out, and hurriedly ran to find help.
After Shun Zhifu put the sword back in the scabbard, he pondered for a while and said: "Ordered the Minister of the Interior, Dasu, to be the general of Annam, and to lead the officers and soldiers with Gushan Ezhen Suohong, the commander of the Protector Army, Lai Da, and other officers and soldiers to follow me to conquer the sea and rebel against Zheng Chenggong. I personally set out on the expedition, and either die in battle or kill Zheng Thief!! ”
Ao Bai, the chief of the imperial guard guarding on the side, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and said: "The emperor is going to go on an expedition, how can there be no less minions!" ”
Shunzhi glanced down at Ao Bai and said, "You can't go to Ao Qing's house, you still have to guard the door for me." As soon as Jiangning Mansion was lost, I don't know how many Han Chensheng had other thoughts. Without you as a minion guard, I wouldn't be at ease with Jingshi! ”
Ao Bai heard that he was busy drinking: "The slave will definitely guard the door of the house for the emperor!" ”
Shunzhi nodded and continued: "You all go down and prepare, within three days, the army will be purged and set out!" ”
Sonny and Sukh Saha lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads at all, nor daring to reply.
"Go down, go down...... If you hear that, I will go out in person, and I will go down and prepare! Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, Emperor Shunzhi roared hoarsely.
When Shunzhi roared furiously, a voice suddenly came in an extremely majestic tone, "Your Majesty, do you want to bury my century-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
This angry shout was like a slap in the face, which made Shunzhi sober up all of a sudden.
Shunzhi hurriedly arched over and said, "The child doesn't dare!" ”
When the Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang heard the eunuch's proclamation, she hurried over, and just heard Shunzhi Fulin say that she wanted to recruit in person, so she immediately opened her mouth to drink.
"Your Majesty, it hasn't been many years since I captured the capital division in the Qing Dynasty, and many Han officials are not convinced, and the places are not stable. If there is a mistake in your personal campaign, the century-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be ruined! ”
"Ho~ho~!" By taking a deep breath, Shunzhi tried his best to adjust his mood, and after a while, he finally returned to normal, "The Queen Mother forgive me, the child is out of shape!" ”
Seeing that Shunzhi Fulin returned to normal, the Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang nodded with relief and said in a harmonious voice: "The emperor is the lord of all peoples, and he has a heavy responsibility, so he must be more cautious in his actions, and he must not act rashly!" ”
"The kid wrote it down!" Shunzhi Fulin said respectfully.
On August 9, the eighth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Since Huang Taiji did not leave a will on the issue of succession to the throne, a fierce power struggle is quietly unfolding.
Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince Su Hauge, and Nurhachi's fourteenth son, Prince Rui, Dolgon, both eyed the throne.
But in the end, the throne can fall on Fu Lin, who is only six years old, and it is inseparable from Xiaozhuang's "dedication"!
If it weren't for Xiaozhuang to envelop Dolgon with his body, I'm afraid that Fulin would not have had the opportunity to sit on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and he would not be able to live safely until now.
Therefore, Shunzhi Fulin respects and hates the Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang, admires everything she has done to the Qing Dynasty, and hates her incompetence all the time in satirizing herself.
Shunzhi said with some frustration: "Spread my decree and order Master Hong to attack the Great Western Army immediately, be sure to solve Sun Kewang within five days, and then return to the division to recover Jiangning Mansion and capture Zheng Haikou!" ”
"Your Majesty, if you order Master Hong to attack the Great Western Army at this time, it will not only do nothing to solve the Huguang crisis, but will cost a lot of troops. Even if the Great Western Army can be annihilated, I am afraid that the military horses under the command of Master Hong will also suffer heavy losses, and even if they want to send troops to fight Zheng Haikou to the death, there will be no soldiers available. Please think twice! Sonny kowtowed earnestly.
The Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang said in person: "Your Majesty ......"
"Alright, got it!" Shunzhi Fulin said impatiently, "Sony, send a message to Master Hong, let him deal with the war with the Great Western Army on his own, but also try to end it as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
