Chapter 81: Shock
Xi'an fell, and the world shook.
For the past few years, the people of Beijing have long been accustomed to the continuous loss of the big city, so the fall of Xi'an has long been expected, in addition, all forces in the world have made different moves under this obvious signal.
In the Jiangnan area, the Donglin Party figures, who had already gradually withdrawn from the government of the government, set off a wave of passionate polemics one after another, from the officials of the six departments in Nanjing to the little show of talent and children, everywhere they went, they all discussed this matter one after another, sometimes angrily scolding Li Chuang, sometimes commenting on the imperial court, which can be described as extremely lively.
And Zhang Xianzhong, who has entered Shu and has been oppressed in the eastern Shu region, after hearing the news, he suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and launched a large army to Chengdu Mansion, hoping to take Chengdu Mansion in one fell swoop, so as to pacify Sichuan.
For a time, on the land of thousands of miles of China, there was another wave of swords and swords
Outside the gates, Shengjing, Chongzheng Palace
The capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, here from **Hachi, through Huangtaiji, to the current little emperor Shunzhi, here in the past few decades, has changed the owner several times, of course, although now the name is the little emperor Shunzhi is the master, but the real master is the regent, the uncle of the little emperor Shunzhi, Dolgon.
After the death of Huang Taiji, relying on the strength in his hands, although Dolgon did not succeed in becoming the emperor, but through the little emperor Shunzhi, he indirectly controlled the entire Manchu power, especially not long ago he successfully abolished Huang Taiji's eldest son, his rival Haoge for many years, the entire Manchu Qing is even more self-respecting, except for the nominal little emperor, he is the entire Manchu sky.
At this time, the entire Shengjing has been covered by thick snow, not to mention people in the whole city, not even a few dogs, but in the Chongzheng Palace, there are many people gathered in full swing, and from time to time there will be some arguments outside the hall.
"Regent, according to Weichen, the Ming court in the Guan, now it has reached a tattered and crumbling time, Li Zicheng's rebel army started from Xiangyang, all the way north, through Kaifeng, to Luoyang, and now it has conquered Xi'an, and the Ming court has no ability to resist, so Weichen feels that this is the time when I take the opportunity to enter the Qing Dynasty and dominate the world, as long as we can enter the customs, with the bravery of my Qing Dynasty, it will definitely respond to the call and destroy the withering and decaying."
An old man dressed in a Manchu official uniform with a Han hairstyle on his head was bowing down to the high-ranking Dolgon.
If anyone who is familiar with the situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty knows that this person is one of the best Hanchen in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Fan Wencheng, one of the most successful traitors in history.
From the **Hachi period, after Fan Wencheng took the initiative to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was valued by **Hachi, but unfortunately, because **Hachi was born with hatred for the Ming people, so, although he attached importance to Fan Wencheng, he did not reuse it, but just asked him to do some copywriting chores.
Then, after the death of ** Hachi, after Huang Taiji, who was close to the Han people, came to power, in order to rapidly develop the Manchu Dynasty, he began to use the Ming generals in a big way, and Fan Wencheng also began his glorious road, after that, whether it was the strategy of crusading against the Ming Dynasty, plotting against the Ming Dynasty officials, attacking Korea, pacifying Mongolia, the construction of the national system, etc., he participated in decision-making.
As soon as Fan Wencheng's words were finished, he heard a Manchu official next to him speak, "Hmph, what you said is so good, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, if the Ming Dynasty is really so easy to fall, how can Taizu Taizong enter the customs three times and invade twice, instead of entering the customs and guarding it, although if nothing else, let's just say that the Shanhaiguan in front of us, how many years have we been fighting, but there is still no progress." ”
Saying this, the Manchu official turned around and said to Dolgon, "Regent, in my opinion, we should definitely not listen to these Han people, and enter the Guanzhong, but take the opportunity to invade the Guanzhong and plunder it on a large scale as before." "The one who spoke was the son of **Hachi, the son of Dolgon's second brother Daishan, Shuotuo, because he had supported Dolgon as emperor before, so after Dolgon took power, he took the opportunity to entrust him with important tasks, and now he is also a member of the Manchu court.
Hearing Shuo Tuo's words, some other Hanchens who were originally behind Fan Wencheng and wanted to take the opportunity to follow up, whether it was Ning Wan me, Ma Guozhu, or Hong Chengchou and others, who had just taken refuge, immediately stopped talking and didn't say more.
In fact, in the Manchu court, it was not the Manchus who actively promoted the Manchu attack on the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, but the Han officials who surrendered to the Manchus.
For the Han people, the most important thing is the honor, especially people like Hong Chengchou, who were originally in high positions, they no longer lack anything, the only thing they are afraid of is tens of millions of years after death, and like Qin Hui, they carry the infamy of a traitor, so as to leave a stench for thousands of years.
But whether they can carry the infamy of traitors or not, but it is not their own decision, this is for the people of the world to say, so what to do, there is only one way, that is, to turn themselves into orthodoxy, if they change, promote the Manchu Qing to enter the Central Plains, to dominate the world, if the Manchus are just a corner of the peace, they are people who take refuge in foreign races, that is, traitors, and if the Manchus can unify the Central Plains, they will become 'good birds and trees to perch', people with foresight.
For these Han officials who are complicated in their hearts, the Manchu people feel it differently, whether it is from history, or now they feel it personally, for the Han people, they have always had a very strong sense of inferiority in their hearts, no matter how strong they are, but in the face of the Han people, they always feel a kind of inferiority complex in their hearts.
Not only the ordinary Manchu people, but even the so-called Ming monarch Huang Taiji, although he defeated the Ming army three times and twice, he also wrote to the Ming court three times and twice, wanting to ally with the Ming Dynasty, for this reason, Huang Taiji even did not hesitate to abdicate and re-call the Great Khan.
Therefore, no matter what kind of chaos happened in the Guan, for most of the Manchu people, it was none of their business, let alone agreeing with Fan Wencheng's plan to send troops to the Guannai.
Looking at the argument below, sitting on the chair, as if asleep, Dolgon's heart is also struggling with difficulty, for him, Fan Wencheng's words, it is very tempting, taking advantage of the internal strife and strife in the Ming court in the Guannei, when there is no time for him to care, so as to lead the Manchu warriors into the customs, pacify the world, and complete the great cause that his father ** Hachi and Huang Taiji have not completed, so as to associate his name with the glory of the entire Manchu Dynasty, every time he thinks of this, his heart can't help but burst of heat, It seems to be more exciting than seeing a peerless beauty.
But the ideal is beautiful, the reality is always cruel, under the bright prospects, he also has a huge worry in his heart, that is, if after entering the customs, there is no expected effect, and even the loss of soldiers, what should he do.
From the current point of view, after he defeated Hauge, the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty has prostrate at his feet, and even the little emperor in the harem has to be obedient, but the calm on the surface does not mean real stability, and many years of political career have told him that the more calm the time, the more dangerous the time.
Not to mention anything else, the remnants of Hauge, the hidden Daishan, and the Zilharang who can be equal to him, are not so easy to deal with, if it really comes to that time, these people will leak fangs and claws against him, and he will have to face the challenge of the entire Manchu Qing, which is not something he can accept at all.
Dolgon, who was deep in thought, finally felt a little pain in his head after repeating the slightest but still couldn't decide, it was his old disease, as long as he thought too much, he would feel a splitting headache, and in desperation, he could only let everyone in the hall leave, and discuss it later.
Walking out of the Chongzheng Palace, along the road without snow, while walking outside the palace, Fan Wencheng carefully considered in his heart that if he persuaded Dolgon to raise troops and enter the customs as soon as possible.
In fact, it is no wonder that Fan Wencheng is so enthusiastic, in addition to the fact that he wants to complete the revenge in his heart, the most important thing is all the worries in his heart, he is afraid of being destroyed.
Dolgon's brother, Yu Prince Duoduo, because he despised Fan Wencheng very much, so not long ago, forcibly occupied his wife, although Dolgon knew afterwards, he taught Duoduo a lesson, and also confiscated his silver and fifteen ox records, you know, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, but the system still has very obvious primitive customs.
And the Manchu Qing Dynasty was like this, the whole pyramid-shaped slave state, the highest place was the emperor and the imperial family, and then there was the flag owner of the Eight Banners of the Earth Emperor, and below the flag owner was Niu Lu, Jia La, and Qi.
Therefore, as a general, Duoduo was deprived of fifteen ox records, one can imagine how Duoduo would hate Fan Wencheng, you know, Duoduo is Dorgon's own brother, and the relationship is much more than his slave-like Hanchen.
It is precisely because of this that in order to save his life, Fan Wencheng can only save his life and his family if he makes enough contributions, and what credit can be worthy of defeating the old enemies of the Manchu Dynasty, so as to lead troops into the customs and dominate the world?
However, what Fan Wencheng didn't expect was that Dolgon, who was usually wise and intelligent, decisive in killing, and would express something about their proposal even if it was not allowed, did not say anything uncharacteristically today, which not only cast a shadow on Fan Wencheng's heart.
"For today's events, I don't know how Lord Fan feels, what does the regent mean, this is neither agreeing nor opposing, but it makes me a little confused, Lord Fan, as the regent's crotch minister, I don't know if he can give us some advice!" As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, Fan Wencheng heard someone behind him say.
