Chapter 290: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
[Today's first shift, there will be a second shift in the evening! ] γ
Huang Taiji's head was sent to Tongzhou, and Deng Haonan felt a lot after seeing it.
It was only then that Deng Haonan believed that he had successfully pried the wheel of history, thus changing the trajectory of history, and the butterfly's wings finally caused an effect.
Although Huang Taiji did not realize his desire to enter the Central Plains, his reforms made the Manchus accepted by the Han Chinese, allowing Dolgon to take advantage of them.
The death of Huang Taiji caused the situation in the north to fall into chaos, and the northern frontier of the Ming Empire could be stabilized for a long time.
On the Tongzhou Drum Tower, the dilapidated city tower witnessed the tragedy of the battle at the entrance.
Ascending high and looking at the shape of the gods, Deng Haonan held the carved railing, and there was a sense of looking at the end of the world.
Looking at the capital from afar, Deng Haonan thought to himself, I don't know how the Emperor of the Apocalypse is deploying a conspiracy against him!
The sound of footsteps sounded, a little light, and Deng Haonan didn't need to look back to know that it was his fourth lady Wanqing who came.
Feeling the heat on his body, Deng Haonan glanced at it, but it was Wanqing who put a cloak on him.
"What does a man think?"
Tan Wanqing came to Deng Haonan's side, took his arm, and looked at her husband with a smile.
Deng Haonan smiled and said with some emotion: "I actually killed Huang Taiji, he should have lived for more than ten years, it's really providence!" β
Tan Wanqing chuckled and glanced at Deng Haonan.
She didn't know Deng Haonan's true thoughts, she just thought that Deng Haonan was playing treasure.
"Wanshu and Siyu are still in the capital! You should quickly find a way to settle the emperor, if he has a crooked mind, I am afraid that they are in danger, or you will take them to Tongzhou! β
Deng Haonan nodded, secretly thinking that what Tan Wanqing said made sense, seeing that the queen was about to give birth, this was the most dangerous time in the capital, if the capital was turbulent, it would not be good if it affected them.
"It's good!"
Deng Haonan said: "Then take them out first, the house is full of soldiers now, don't frighten them!" β
"Ding Da Niu!"
"Here!"
"Go and get the ladies out!"
"Yes!" Ding Da Niu took the order.
Ding Daniu left, and Tan Wanqing suddenly said, "Are you going to rebel?" β
Deng Haonan paused for a moment, then smiled, and said: "In fact, I didn't want to rebel at all, this qiΔ was all self-defense and counterattack, and I was pushed up by the opponent step by step!" β
Tan Wanqing actually saw it a long time ago, but Deng Haonan never mentioned the rebellion, she just confirmed it.
Now that Deng Haonan has answered, he has told her the answer in disguise.
"Do you know the story of Liangshan in the Song Dynasty?"
"Song Jiang?"
Deng Haonan nodded and said: "My subordinates and I, like Song Jiang, are all thieves, neither of them are recognized by the government, and they both have strong military power, but the difference is that I will not let the matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey happen to us!" β
Tan Wanqing understood what Deng Haonan meant, so Qing hugged Deng Haonan tightly and said worriedly: "I'm afraid!" β
Deng Haonan sighed, the king is defeated, the fateful enemy of success or failure.
"If I lose, you'll become the Lady of the Village!"
Deng Haonan laughed, Tan Wanqing said: "Marry a chicken and marry a dog, if you lose, I can only blame myself for my hard life!" β
While he was talking, the guards came to report, and Lin Feng asked to see him.
Deng Haonan looked at Tan Wanqing, who glared at him unhappily, and then left with the maids.
When Deng Haonan smiled bitterly, Lin Feng had already arrived at his side.
"Your Excellency!"
"What's the matter?"
"The army outside the gate is withdrawing, is Huang Taiji's head a gift to the emperor to invite merit?"
Deng Haonan thought for a while and said, "Don't send it yet!" β
"What do you meanβ"
"Send it over now, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will definitely have a black hand on us immediately!"
Deng Haonan said: "Pass the order, strictly seal the news, and the army will be stationed in Tongzhou in the name of changing defenses!" β
Lin Feng nodded, feeling that what Deng Haonan said was right, so he asked, "When is the adult going to be revealed?" β
"The new emperor ascends the throne!"
Lin Feng knew that Deng Haonan was going to attack the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and now he was just waiting for time. Once the Emperor of the Apocalypse dies and the queen listens to the government, then Deng Haonan will be safe. At that time, it was announced that Huang Taiji would be killed to eliminate 200,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition troops, and the queen would definitely give a big reward in order to consolidate her position.
All of them were under Deng Haonan's control, and Lin Feng couldn't help but feel admiration and admiration.
"Your Excellency!" Lin Feng calmed down his excitement and said, "I just received a report from the War Department that there are already two divisions secretly stationed in the capital under the cover of Dongchang. The emperor summoned Yang Sichang and other forbidden army generals one after another, and it is estimated that they will either deploy the defense of the capital, or they want to deal with you! β
Deng Haonan nodded and said, "He is definitely going to deal with me, but now that the people of the country know that I am resisting the Manchu invasion, he will not attack me lightly at this time!" β
"I can't rule out that he took a risk!" Lin Feng said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has always been right, and it is easy for the common people not to be bribed by the emperor. β
Deng Haonan nodded noncommittally.
"It's been a few days!"
Deng Haonan's expression tightened, his expression was a little solemn, although this kind of murder of Emperor Li Dai Taostiff has been popular since the Warring States Period, but when Deng Haonan did it himself, he still had palpitations.
He doesn't worry about how the official history will write him, the winner, the prince, the loser, the thief, the official history can be arbitrarily revised according to Deng Haonan's wishes, but he just doesn't know how it will be recorded in the wild history in the future.
"Your Excellency!" Lin Feng seemed to have a question, and said, "Since the adult is already preparing for the queen to give birth to a boy, then why wait, it is better to cut off the medicine of the Emperor of the Apocalypse now, so that he can die." Anyway, there is a little sixth son's father-in-law and the queen to do the internal response, block the palace, and overpower the world! β
Deng Haonan waved his hand and said, "No!" An Emperor of the Apocalypse is easy to deal with, but the imperial family has many princes and princes in the country, and these people all have fiefdoms, hold a certain amount of military power in their hands, and influence the nearby officials. Once you get the news out of them, it's tricky to make a fuss. β
Lin Feng thought about it, he only paid attention to the emperor, but he forgot that there were still many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty.
"What do you meanβ"
Deng Haonan smiled and said confidently: "Let the Emperor of the Apocalypse live a few more days, and then clean him up after he canonizes the prince!" β
Lin Feng said worriedly: "But everyone knows that the immortal medicine that the emperor ate was given by you!" I'm afraidβ"
Deng Haonan snorted coldly and said, "Originally, it was all the fault of the damn Tang Jing that made the Emperor of the Apocalypse wake up." However, this also left me with a way out, because I had already found out that Tang Jing gave the emperor a stronger poison! β
Poison?
Lin Feng exclaimed: "Fighting poison with poison? β
"That's right!" Deng Haonan nodded and said: "He used the method of poison to neutralize my medicine, when the time comes, I only need to reduce the poison in the immortal medicine, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will be poisoned and die if he eats Tang Jing's medicine again, and Tang Jing is destined to be a substitute for the dead!" β
"Your Excellency is clever!"
Lin Feng suddenly realized that there was such a mystery in this. However, Deng Haonan was able to tell him this secret, which showed that he trusted him enough, which made him feel very happy.
At the end of July, the Liaodong Army outside the Guanxi was secretly repatriated.
At the same time, in the imperial palace of the capital, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was consulting with the trusted ministers of civil and military affairs. Of course, Deng Haonan's eyeliner was pervasive, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse never expected that most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace did things for Deng Haonan, and the content of their conversation was transmitted back to Deng Haonan's ears word for word.
"Your Majesty, let's wait for now! King Fu is greedy for life and afraid of death, and may not be willing to turn his face with Deng Haonan, King Xin has no fief now, and only a few hundred personal soldiers are useless for the overall situation! β
Huang Liji thought for a long time, and said: "Other vassal kings and princes can't succeed, so the best strategy for today is to stabilize Deng Haonan!" β
"How long will you stabilize him?"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said displeasedly: "Now that the governor of Zhili has been given to him, and now that the siege of the capital has been lifted, if he defeats Huang Taiji again, then I will have to give him the title of king!" β
The Ming Dynasty had a system of "different surnames are not crowned kings", and to be more precise, it is "still alive with different surnames are not crowned kings", except for a few kings with different surnames (not recognized) during the chaotic period of the political situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, other kings with different surnames are posthumously crowned! For example: Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, such founding heroes, are posthumously crowned, and when they are alive, they are just national princes!
Now Deng Haonan has become the prince of the country, in order to appease him, Deng Haonan's eldest son has given the hereditary prince of the Danshu iron coupon. The title has reached the highest level of a living person, and the official position is also ranked among the governors of Zhili, and the head of the feudal officials of the national dynasty has reached its peak.
There is no other way to reward the emperor than to be crowned, which is already the most troublesome thing for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. At the moment, Deng Haonan is the hero who drove out the Tartars, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had to consider the consequences of Yan zhΓ²ng if he wanted to do something against him. Moreover, Deng Haonan was in power, and he was directly under his control, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse feel uneasy and did not dare to go too far.
Huang Liji sighed and shook his head uncontrollably, now Deng Haonan is no longer the little straw he was at the beginning, but has become a towering tree, which can only be looked up to.
Obviously, Huang Liji does not advocate a hard fight with Deng Haonan, that will not do him any good, once Deng Haonan is forced to rebel, the capital is in danger, and his head will have to move.
You can only stabilize him, but you still have to convince the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" Huang Liji thought about it in his heart, and suddenly said: "It's better to give him the title of king!" β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was about to get angry, and Huang Liji hurriedly said: "Stabilize him first, and it is just an expedient measure to crown him king." Now the whole country is looking at it! Once Deng Haonan won this battle, the king could block the mouth of Youyou, so that everyone in the world would know that my emperor was holy and the emperor's grace was mighty. In this way, the emperor is a wise monarch in the hearts of the people, which makes Deng Haonan lose his excuse to make trouble. If he insists on coming, the whole world will be on the emperor's side.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and his anger subsided slightly, which was also true. At present, Deng Haonan is trying to woo hundreds of civil and military officials everywhere, and more than half of the officials in the national dynasty are falling to Deng Haonan. After the suppression of bandits in Jiangxi, Deng Haonan took the opportunity to help the victims and win the hearts of the people, which showed that Deng Haonan was competing with him for the hearts of the people.
Losing the hearts and minds of the people is no joke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought.
Huang Liji continued: "Besides, if the king is given to Deng Haonan, the emperor can directly seal him to Liaoshen, and give him all the north to Nuer Gandusi!" β
"How does this work?"
Huang Liji's words immediately caused the shock of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and several other ministers.
I only heard Huang Liji explain: "Seal him the king of Liao, and the emperor can take the opportunity to justifiably take back the governor of Zhili and drive him back to the outside of the gate." Second, the fief given to him by the emperor includes the land of Liaoshen, which has been lost for many years, and he has the responsibility to defend the land as the king of Liao, and he should immediately start to eliminate the Manchu Qing and recover the lost land! Third, Deng Haonan fought to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, consuming his strength, and at the same time being able to pull out the humiliation of the national dynasty over the years. Fourth, what the emperor lacks most now is time, and after taking back the governor of Zhili, he will need time to reorganize the army and prepare to deal with Deng Haonan's rebellion in the future! β
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was reluctant in every way, he had to admit that he had nothing to do now.
"It's okay to drag it down like this!"
Tang Jing wanted to say something when he heard this, but he stopped talking. He knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would never be able to trust Deng Haonan, because he was already terminally ill and could not be saved. But Tang Jing didn't dare to say that at this moment, he was very afraid of death, and even more afraid of causing panic among the ministers, because once Huang Liji and the others learned the truth, they would definitely not support the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but would look for King Fu or King Xin and others to discuss and seize it. In order to repay the emperor for his kindness and make up for his mistakes, Tang Jing decided to let the emperor's sister-in-law ascend the throne. But what he didn't know was that he did this to help Deng Haonan.
"How's it going out there? Could Deng Haonan have already defeated Huang Taiji? β
Tang Jing said at this time: "Your Majesty, Deng Haonan has arranged heavy troops outside the capital on the grounds of wartime control regulations, and he is not allowed to enter but not to leave!" From the people who came in, it was learned that there was a fierce battle outside, and the Huang Taiji army relied on Sanhe, Jizhou and Zunhua to resist Deng Haonan's attack! β
In fact, all the information obtained by Tang Jing was fake news deliberately sent by Deng Haonan, the purpose of which was to delay time and make the Emperor of the Apocalypse a rat trap and not dare to make a black hand on Deng Haonan.
Sure enough, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can trust Tang Jing.
"Do you know when Deng Haonan drove away the enemy army?"
Tang Jing replied: "It is said that Deng Haonan is ready to annihilate the 200,000 allied troops of Mongolia as a congratulatory gift for the emperor's physical recovery!" β
"Cat Crying Mouse!"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse snorted coldly, Huang Liji and the others all rolled their eyes, but they didn't expect the emperor to compare himself to a mouse. Of course, the metaphor is appropriate, but they always sound awkward.
At this time, Huang Liji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it's better to release King Xin, he has also reached the age of receiving a fief!" With King Xin outside, maybe you can contain Deng Haonan! β
Emperor Tianqi's brows twisted into iron bumps, for his only younger brother King Xin, he loved and hated, and he never forgot the matter of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family. If it weren't for King Xin's covert support, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse lose control over Wei Zhongxian, this situation would not have been as bad as it is now.
"Wait!"
After a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "When I am ready to establish a prince, I will release the king of letters!" β
Huang Liji saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask more about King Xin.
"Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, over the years, King Fu has looted countless money in the local area, and the people have 'the people borrowed, saying that the first emperor spent the world to fat the king, and Luoyang was rich in the interior', which is not groundless!"
Because Zhu Changxun received a large number of rewards from Mingshenzong, coupled with the rampant expropriation over the years, countless treasures, and later Zhu Changxun's property became the source of military spending for Li Zicheng's army of 1.3 million troops in the next few years, so that Li Zicheng no longer had to rob the people's property and won the people's popularity, which shows the huge wealth of King Fu.
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very annoyed by King Fu's behavior of collecting money, and also knew that King Fu's house was full of gold and silver, he didn't have time to repair King Fu at the moment.
"Where do I have the time and energy to take care of King Fu's affairs?"
Huang Liji saw that the emperor had misunderstood him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister did not ask the emperor to punish King Fu, but told the emperor that King Fu has money, if he is ordered to take money to support the army, I believe that in less than a year, he can raise an army of five or six hundred thousand!" β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's eyes tightened, and Huang Liji was furious.
"The minister doesn't mean anything else!" Huang Liji said: "Right now, Deng Haonan is ready to annihilate the Emperor Taiji, so it won't be long before he will dominate the land of Liaoshen, and at that time, the emperor will not have time to reorganize his armament and will not be able to resist the threat of Deng Haonan's army." No matter how Fu Wang is also a member of the royal family, he is a brother in the war, at this time he will definitely help his relatives and not outsiders! β
Tang Jing said: "Isn't it more dangerous to use King Fu to balance Deng Haonan?" If Deng Haonan rebelled, he would definitely rebel and lose the hearts of the people, but if he raised the Fu King, the royal family would be consumed, and the people would only watch the excitement and would not help anyone! The Battle of Jingjing is an example! β
"Presumptuous!"
"The emperor atoned for his sins!"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to reprimand Tang Jing, but he also knew that Tang Jing was reasonable, so he did not blame him deeply.
"You can use the King of Chu in Wuhan to balance the King of Fu!" Huang Liji said: "The king of Chu also amassed a lot of wealth, not less than the king of blessing, but the king of Chu has no intention of the emperor, so he can use it!" β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought about it and couldn't let King Fu raise an army, so he was inclined to let King Chu train his troops.
"Then let the King of Chu train his troops!"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse has lingering palpitations about King Fu, and Huang Liji is not good at objecting, with the help of the King of Chu to train the troops, plus Yang He, the governor of the three sides, it should be able to balance Deng Haonan.
"Then is Yang He transferred back?"
"Wait!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse hesitated for a moment and said, "Looking at Deng Haonan's style, as long as I don't do it first, he shouldn't do it!" If Yang He is transferred, then Deng Haonan can use his power as the governor of Zhili to forcibly restrain Yang He, so that we will be passive! β
After discussing it again, several people left, and their words were truthfully transmitted back to Deng Haonan's ears.
Intelligence warfare is often the key to determining victory or defeat, and as a person in the future, Deng Haonan could not be clearer. Mastering intelligence is equivalent to grasping the opportunity, controlling the trend of the overall situation, and controlling the balance of victory. If Emperor Qi's every move today is under his close supervision, Deng Haonan can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.
Regarding the decision of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Deng Haonan just smiled faintly. Suddenly, Deng Haonan had a feeling that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was like Sun Wukong, stupidly drawing circles on his palms.
