Chapter 502: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
Just when Nao-kyu Niko was looking forward to a great "opportunity to restore the country," on the other side of the Tsushima Strait, a shocking upheaval was quietly taking place in the Korean city of Pyongyang.
On the second day of Huang Taiji's "coma", Hong Chengchou withdrew from the Han River with 20,000 elite Han army flags. This thing is really a bit weird, and the Jurchen princes are quite suspicious.
According to common sense, the Han Army Banner, which confronted the Tuansan Army on the front line of the Han River and was always ready to act as cannon fodder, had absolutely no chance of withdrawing its troops back to Pyongyang. But Hong Chengchou held the holy decree of Huang Taiji's transfer of troops in his hand, and the Jurchen princes and ministers naturally didn't dare to let go of a fart.
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, more things are better than less!
Hong Seungcho's army was stationed northwest of Pyongyang, and he himself requisitioned a house belonging to a large Korean family. This mansion is not big, only three steps - after all, the best mansion Joseon Palace was requisitioned by Huang Taiji, and the other slightly better ones could not take the turn of a Hanchen, and their own Jurchen princes and ministers laughed at it.
In the innermost side room of the house requisitioned by Hong Chengchou, two people were nervously discussing countermeasures.
Sitting on the main seat is naturally my Qing Dynasty's "Military Department Shangshu" Hong Chengchou, and the person sitting on his left hand side is Mr. Fan Wencheng Fan, who has the reputation of "Jurchen Zhuge Liang".
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fan Wencheng quickly introduced the topic to the topic.
Fan Wencheng glanced at Hong Chengchou, then stroked the iconic goat's whisker under his chin, and muttered: "Lord Hong, if this time comes true, Your Excellency will not break my promise of the position of prime minister, right?" ”
Hong Chengchou smiled heartily and nodded: "Mr. Fan has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth. If he ascends to the throne in the future, he will be named the prime minister. Such as the Han Xiao He! ”
Fan Wencheng bowed slightly, and a stone in his heart was put down. He secretly thought to himself: This Hong Chengchou has no foundation on the Manchu side. It's just that he is quite appreciated by Huang Taiji because of his fame. I was in the Houjin Kingdom, uh, no, I had been operating in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, although the Jurchens always regarded themselves as slaves, but they were quite well-connected in the Han military banner!
Fan Wencheng knows that his biggest disadvantage is that he does not have military power, but he does not blame Huang Taiji, if he really has the ability, Huang Taiji is afraid that it is okay to give him a Han military flag.
It's a pity that he can't - Fan Wencheng is a poor and sour person. It's okay to play some intrigue and trickery, but it's absolutely impossible to deploy troops. Although Fan Wencheng has consciously made up a lot of military knowledge in recent years, and has been able to give advice to Huang Taiji repeatedly, marching and fighting is not child's play, and he Fan Wencheng is at least just a strategist in Huang Taiji's eyes, not a general.
However, Fan Wencheng also has his own hole cards, that is, the relationship with the generals of the Han Army. Whether it is Li Yongfang, the old traitor and second dog, or Kong Youde, the newly popular and purple Gongshun Wang, they all have a good relationship with Fan Wencheng. The reasons for this are not complicated. Fan Wencheng helped them say good things in front of Huang Taiji.
Whenever the Jurchen princes and ministers denounced the Han military banner as "ineffective cannon fodder", Fan Wencheng could always find such and such reasons, although he did not confront the Jurchen princes, but behind his back, he excused the generals of the Han military banner in front of Huang Taiji.
In Mr. Fan's opinion. It is a fool to do good deeds without leaving a name, it is obvious that his own IQ is positive, so he exonerated himself as the general of the Han army through various channels. Conveyed to the ears of the parties.
This Nima has such a person by Huang Taiji's side who helps to say good things, and all the generals of the Han Army are "grateful" to him.
Other words. Fan Wencheng is very well-connected; Hong Chengchou is a newcomer and famous. But there is no interpersonal relationship - so the two hit it off, Hong Chengchou has military power, Fan Wencheng has connections, the two are combined, it is really invincible in the world!
In political struggles, when each other has value in use, they are often the most reliable allies -- just like Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng now.
Both of them are smart people, and smart people don't need to talk much.
Since they are all "their own people", Hong Chengchou did not see the outside, and asked directly to the point: "Mr. Fan, Concubine Zhuang-ah, no, the Empress Dowager ordered the official to bring the elite of the Han Army Banner back to Pyongyang, it must be to deter some people in the Tartars......"
Fan Wencheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Hong Chengchou with some incredulity, and the word "Tartar" appeared in his ears, Nima, you heard it right, right?!
In just a short moment, Fan Wencheng figured it out, Lord Hong's face is probably several times thicker than himself, no wonder he is so famous, he was a high-ranking official in the Ming Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
This Nima people are shameless, and ghosts are afraid, what a wise saying!
Think about it carefully, rebelling under the territory of Allah's sons, uh, no, if you want to turn over and become the master, it is indeed not easy. If you want to succeed, then the Han people in Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun, Kaiyuan, Tieling and other cities in eastern Liaodong must make use of it. Well, is the so-called "expelling the Tartars and restoring the clothes of the Han people"!
Yes, it has to be.
Fan Wencheng suddenly felt that his image became taller, isn't what Nima is doing by himself now what Liu Bowen did when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty-bullshit Tartars dare to enslave our Han people, and they will definitely be driven out of Liaodong and go back to Hetuala, where the nest birds don't shit!
In fact, Fan Wencheng thinks so, and there is some truth in it, there are really people who have done it in the original history.
This person is also an old acquaintance, but he hasn't had time to take refuge in "my Daqing" at the moment, and is still in Henan and Li Zicheng dog-eat-dog, waiting to eat the fat of "Fuwang"!
He is naturally the left governor of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui and Wu Gonggong.
Historically, 30 years after Wu Sangui's "Yazhong New Dynasty", he raised the banner of "restoring vision". Before the rebellion, he led his subordinates to sweep the tomb of King Gui, "weeping, lying on the ground and not getting up", and instigated his subordinates. After the rebellion, he issued a document accusing the Qing Dynasty of "stealing the artifact of my first dynasty and changing my Chinese crown", and claimed to "jointly raise the cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty and return the Qiankun of the Middle Summer".
Presumably, when Wu Gonggong rebelled, no matter whether the people of the world believed it or not, anyway, he himself believed it - but unfortunately the reality ruthlessly slapped Wu Gonggong in the face, and the people at that time would rather be ruled by Kangxi Xiaomazi than support the traitors!
Of course, this is what happened later, and it is naturally impossible for Mr. Fan and Lord Hong to know about this......
At this moment, Fan Wencheng also went to the road, he spat on the "bah-" and said hatefully: "In the past, King Goujian of Yue had been lying on his salary for decades, and he was really a model for my generation!" ”
Hong Chengchou laughed, glanced at Fan Wencheng meaningfully, and nodded: "What Mr. Fan said is very much in line with my wishes. We are all people who endure humiliation! (To be continued.) )
