"Generous charity? Wang Ye is exaggerating, right? Zhang Weihan smiled with contempt and said: "Although Dolgon is tyrannical, he has made great contributions in the Qing Dynasty, and he has not intended to replace Shunzhi. Only two months after his death, he was liquidated and the body was exhumed. The nature is so cold that it is outrageous. In the assertion of Min Shizi, how can a madman do anything, a man who turned a blind eye to Dorgon's filthy court during his lifetime, knelt down and called Dolgon 'his own father', and when he died, he broke his bones and scattered ashes, and slaughtered all the people in his vicinity? Besidesβ€”"

Zhang Weihan smiled at Wu Sangui, who was already on the verge of an outbreak, and said: "At the end of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, does the prince still have to work hard for this short-lived monarch who only has one year left?" ”

In many folk literatures, the love story between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E is greatly exaggerated, and Shunzhi is described as an amorous emperor. In fact, Shunzhi's character and character are worthy of vigilance. He even bears some resemblance to Chongzhen in a way, at least in his treatment of Dorgon, who is outrageously cold by nature. can't help but remind people of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he once treated his mentor Zhang Juzheng in this way, Shunzhi was greatly influenced by the Han people, and he also "benefited a lot" in the Yin Owl rectification.

And Dorgon, who was heavily in blood debt, could be said to have received retribution. His fate after his death was tragic, all his family property was confiscated, and all his honor was taken back. The throne was stripped of his throne, his children were either killed or confiscated, and even those who defended him were exiled from the army. Shunzhi did not give up, and dug up his grave and whipped his body.

"Alarmist." Liu Xuanchu suddenly scolded with disdain: "Life and death are fateful. How can thou ask the heavens? ”

Wu Sangui felt that receiving Zhang Weihan was a very risky thing, and he already had a murderous intention in his heart, but Liu Xuanchu's rebuke made him suppress his thoughts for the time being, and it was up to Zhang Weihan to answer.

"Little Lao'er only knows a little about the skin." Zhang Weihan shook his head and said, "Min Shizi is proficient in this technique, and there are people with extraordinary abilities to help. He cast a grateful look at Liu Xuanchu and continued: "What I expected was seven or eight times out of ten, which was amazing and admirable. The prince is a heroic Han man, crisscrossing the north and south. Heroic achievements; The son of Min Shizi is also favored by God, and he is far-sighted, looking up to China and foreign countries. The two Han leaders have to fight to the death and let the Manchurians benefit. ”

"In the beginning of time, who preached it? The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested? Who can do it? Feng Yiwei statue. How do you know it? Fang Guangchen sneered: "Zi Bu is silent, and his power is confused. The art of heavenly questions is so remote that it is difficult to prove, do you want to confuse people's minds with this? ”

"It's not necessarily proven." Zhang Weihan smiled slightly. He said: "If the scholar thinks that a year is too long, how about using the events of this year as proof? ”

Wu Sangui was also interested, stared at Zhang Weihan, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Concubine Dong E will die this year." Zhang Weihan's face was solemn and he said with great determination.

Concubine Dong E can be described as "in the palace of Changxin." Three thousand first", "Zhaoyang Palace, eight hundred unparalleled", set Shunzhi special pet in one. Less than a year after entering the palace, he was promoted to the imperial concubine, and Emperor Shunzhi also held a very grand concubine ceremony for Concubine Dong E. and issued an edict of amnesty to the world. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, it is unique to have an amnesty for the canonization of the queen's concubines.

Such a major event in the court, of course, it is impossible for Wu Sangui and others not to know the way. Concubine Dong E's favor, they naturally have heard of it. Now seeing that Zhang Weihan said it with great certainty, he was stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

Liu Xuanchu was the first to react, and smiled at Wu Sangui and said, "Lord Wang, Mr. Zhang said before that he wanted to ask the Lord for a bowl of rice. When he saw it, he left his husband in the curtain and sent his subordinates to serve him, so that he could ask for advice in the morning and evening. I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Wu Sangui understood the meaning of Liu Xuanchu's words, and put Zhang Weihan under house arrest first, and then made a decision later. He was a little undecided, and turned his gaze to Fang Guangchen, hoping that he could also speak.

Fang Guangchen's city mansion was very deep, and he was noncommittal at this time, but just smiled silently. According to his original intention, he was still inclined to kill Zhang Weihan and eliminate all risks. But he also saw that Liu Xuanchu had the intention of preservation, firstly, he did not want to cause unhappiness with Liu Xuanchu, and secondly, he did not want to bear the notoriety of murder. Therefore, he waited and waited for the changes, and Wu Sangui made a decision.

Wu Sangui pondered slightly, made a decision in his heart, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said to Zhang Weihan: "Mr. must be highly respected in Yunnan, if he misses it, it will be a pity." But please ask Mr. for my friends and friends, and ask for advice sooner or later. It's just that there are many people, and the gentleman should be cautious in his words in the future. ”

"The prince treats each other politely, and the little old man dares to disobey orders." Zhang Weihan bowed his hand, he was sure in his heart, but he felt that his back was cold, and he was already in a cold sweat.

The atmosphere relaxed, and everyone talked about some gossip again, so Wu Sangui ordered someone to take Zhang Weihan down to settle down, and only he, Fang Guangchen, and Liu Xuanchu were left in the house.

"This person should be sent by a pseudo-sect." Wu Sangui lightly twisted his wine glass, revealing a sneering smile, "It's ridiculous to want to mess with my mind with the words of gods and ghosts." ”

"But why did the prince leave it?" Fang Guangchen showed a slightly puzzled expression, Liu Xuanchu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Wu Sangui thoughtfully.

"The pseudo-clan - it's pretty weird." Wu Sangui pondered the words and said, "It's not as powerful as Zhang boasted, but it can't be taken lightly. However, we know very little about the situation of the pseudo-sect. The Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. In the past, we have failed, and this is precisely the problem. He is completely ignorant of his temperament, military style, and methods. If the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I know myself but do not know the other, how can I win? ”

"The prince is wise." Liu Xuanchu suddenly said: "I want to stay in Zhang today to understand the words and deeds of the pseudo-sect, explore what he thinks in his heart, and find the law of his behavior." ”

"Hehe, that's exactly what this king meant." Wu Sangui smiled proudly and said, "Strictly guard the palace." He's just a caged bird, so what's the point of worrying? ”

"Monitor and record, or let it act as appropriate." Fang Guangchen suddenly interjected slyly: "Let them contact the pseudo-sect and reveal some of our army's movements." In this way, in the future, when Zhang's incident happened, the prince also had a statement. ”

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment. But seeing Fang Guangchen's meaningful smile, he couldn't help but suddenly, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

………………

Historically, Wu Sangui lost one of his biggest goals after Li Zicheng's death. And he was like a dog on a leash, and embarked on the road of dying for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In fact, since the betrayal of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's heroic image in people's minds has not been discounted, and even Shi Kefa has praised him and placed high hopes on him. But what happened next was very unexpected, and Wu Sangui, who was bent on restoring the Ming Dynasty, suddenly stopped mentioning it. On the contrary, chasing down the remnants of Nanming became the main work he had to do in the later period. Only then did the remnants of the Ming Dynasty understand that Wu Sangui was not here to help them revive and restore, but what he really wanted to help was the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In the more than ten years of competition between Wu Sangui and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he received the highest honor given to a Han officer by the Manchu Dynasty. But at the same time, the moral reputation of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, was becoming more and more corrupt, as his military exploits grew. More and more of Nanming's courtiers were killed, and he completed a demonized transformation in terms of morality.

The Ming Dynasty did not fall all at once. After the loss of Beijing, after going through the various periods of King Fu, King Lu, and Tang Wang, Zhu Youlang, King Gui, stepped onto the political stage, known as the Yongli Dynasty in history, which relied on geographical advantages and existed for 16 years. Sixteen years. For the sake of Zhu Youlang, who has a low IQ and low EQ, the last elite of the Ming Dynasty lost their lives, and the person responsible for encircling and suppressing the last prince of the Ming Dynasty was Wu Sangui.

Under the pressure of Wu Sangui step by step, the desperate Zhu Youlang fled to Myanmar. A foreign country far away from Middle-earth, but this could not save his life, and he was still captured and killed by Wu Sangui. The Zhu family's most disgraced bloodline was cut off into Wu Sangui's hands. And his act of strangling Yongli angered all the Han Chinese doctors, including those who had deep sympathy for him at the beginning.

When the war finally ended, people began to have more time to think about what had happened. As a result, people found out that from the day he betrayed Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui had been playing with an unknown conspiracy. He actually stood on the same line with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and killing the Ming Emperor was just the most revealing of his true face.

Wu Sangui thus became an enemy of the people and one of the most notorious figures in Chinese history. When he was forced to a dead end by Kang Sanma, he brazenly raised the banner to resist the Qing Dynasty and called for "restoring vision", only to find that he had already lost the support of the Han people and lost the sympathy and support of the people.

The traitor should be resolute, and he will destroy the Han family mercilessly, and in the end, he will not escape the miserable end of the "lackey". When Wu Sangui proved his loyalty to the Manchus with his determination and ruthlessness, he also dug a grave for his future.

Moreover, Zhang Weihan's words sowed poison seeds in Wu Sangui's heart. Although it has not yet grown and germinated, as long as the time and environment are right, the poisonous species will grow wildly and spread inexorably.

And Wu Sangui will also be vigilant, to Shunzhi, the Qing Emperor who he once thought was the "Ming Lord", did have a cold behavior, the idiom of rabbit dead dog cooking, and related allusions, are simply too familiar to Wu Sangui.

Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—

Stand tall and look far away. For Zhu Yongxing, who is familiar with history, he will never show mercy to Wu Sangui, a mad traitor, and have illusions.

But unlike the first conversation with Zhang Weihan in Dali, when Zhang Weihan, who came to Annan, met again and offered to persuade Wu Sangui to return anyway. Zhu Yongxing's psychology has changed, not because he has hoped for Wu Sangui, but because he has come up with a strategy, a psychological warfare calculation, which may be able to play an unimaginable role in the future.

Therefore, he gave Zhang Weihan some help with his prophet and asked him to fool the three ghosts. Whether it can succeed or not, Zhu Yongxing does not know; Whether Zhang Weihan will be killed by Wu Sangui, Zhu Yongxing is not sure. But he can see that Zhang Weihan is not afraid of death, he is very kind, the kind of spirit and consciousness that sacrifices his life for righteousness and leaves a name in history.

Zhu Yongxing didn't understand this kind of thinking and consciousness very well, but he admired it so much.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The power of ethics. It can and will produce a sense of happiness, peace, and beauty...... There is only one way to reach the other side of happiness, and that is to transcend all morally neutral values. "Except for religion, human nature cannot be transcended and transcended. The world of war is full of traps and slaughter pits, and physical destruction and spiritual transcendence are the best touchstones for testing courage and morality.

Death, for everyone, is inescapable. Fearless sacrifice and a thirst for death. To become the glorious nirvana of the Eternal. And the obedience who is attached to the greedy for life has become the evil fire of the renegade and the retainers.

It is conceivable that all the martyrs of Nanming, their dying state of mind is a kind of noble mercy. In the face of death, they felt the sorrow of their surviving compatriots, enemies, and renegades, and looked down on the flies and dogs of all living beings. What a state of mind that transcends human duality.

All the suffering and torment, all the whistling blades and gunstones, became so pale and powerless in the face of this great spirit that transcended the mundane. The greatness of the spirit. Beyond the meager intelligence of survival.

Therefore, those martyrs who resisted national enslavement in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties will forever become the immortal glory of our Chinese nation. It is precisely because of their existence that the temporary fragmentation of the Chinese state, the bruises caused by stagnation, and even the temporary disintegration of the political regime can be healed under the strong national spiritual force.

………………

After several days of training and selection at sea, only one thousand of the three thousand soldiers were able to replenish the incoming division. Zhu Yongxing was not dissatisfied. Water awareness and non-seasickness are obviously not the same concept. And to adapt to the wind and waves at sea, it can also be exercised the day after tomorrow.

By the time the ammunition and supplies for the sailor had arrived, Zhu Yongxing had been in Xialong for more than ten days. The capture of more than 20 Hongyi cannons of various types, a batch of gunpowder and shells produced by the arsenal, and some artillery made the naval division not only join Deng Yao and Chen Shangchuan, the two maritime forces. It has also been strengthened in strength.

Of course, it is not only the 1,000 soldiers who have been added to the sailors, but also the personnel of the Department of Military Justice and the Department of Missions, the new military regulations, rules, and the treatment of soldiers. They have all preached the oracle in the sailors. Although the control is not in place in one step, it is a good start.

The fleet sailed on the waves, like a string of black ants on a smooth mirror, slowly but surely advancing eastward. The sun poured down, the sea breeze was blowing, Chen Shangchuan stood at the bow of the ship, the red tassels on his helmet burning like flames, and dancing happily with the fiery red military flag.

"Fangcheng, Beihai, Gaozhou, and Leizhou can all be disturbed. However, do not fight hard, attack quickly, and leave at the slightest touch, so that the coastal Qing army can be contained. ”

Chen Shangchuan remembered Zhu Yongxing's re-exhortation when he was leaving, and gently exhaled a long breath, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. In fact, he didn't expect that this trip would be fruitful, and Zhu Yongxing would treat him so kindly. This is different from the traditional bribery and co-optation, but is sincere and fair. He and Deng Yao are just officials, but the gold and silver beauties are not seen. However, the increase in the strength of the troops, the placement of the old, the weak, the wounded and the sick, and the equal treatment of the soldiers make it difficult to resent. Well, if you are really anti-Qing and really want to prosper the Ming Dynasty, what else will you be dissatisfied with?

Do not discriminate, do not discriminate, show people with public intentions, and treat people with honesty. This is the reason why His Royal Highness Min was able to gather the remnants of the army and make the generals obey the order, right? When the eyes are full of loss and the building is about to fall, a place of hope, a little light guidance, a banner of exhibition, and a gathering of people's hearts, His Royal Highness Min was born, which can be said to be the right time.

His Royal Highness Min's identity, ability, wisdom, and courage make him a well-deserved pillar of the southwest to resist the Qing Dynasty. Apart from him, who can make all the armies command, who can serve as commanders, and who can make the generals obey. Heaven has eyes, immortal Ming. Although Chen Shangchuan is a scholar and also believes in the saying "Zi does not speak strange and chaotic spirits", he involuntarily rose up in his heart to pray.

Bless His Royal Highness Min with good health and well-being, so that this rare anti-Qing situation can be maintained. Chen Shangchuan didn't dare to imagine that without Zhu Yongxing, all departments of the Ming Army in the southwest would still be able to unite and coordinate as one. If you change your position, if you change the leader, you will undoubtedly obey the order, as you do now?

Chen Shangchuan didn't want to make such a terrible assumption, so he turned his gaze to the sea and distracted his thinking. And a small officer on the side of the ship wearing a red bar epaulette on a yellow background attracted his attention.

The endless blue pond was exciting, and Duan Zhiying felt that his soul and spirit were integrated into this magnificent scene.

"If you don't see the sea, how can you know the vastness of heaven and earth. Erhai, it's too much worse. His Royal Highness Min does not deceive people. Duan Zhiying seemed to feel that a magnificent picture had unfolded in front of him, and it would be a new world for him to gallop and soar. What is the end of the sea, and does the sea have an end? Thinking of such a question, Duan Zhiying's face appeared with a confused and cheerful smile.

Footsteps made a slight sound on the deck, Duan Zhiying felt that there was someone behind him, so he suddenly turned around, and Chen Shangchuan's smiling face was already approaching.

"Salute." Duan Zhiying subconsciously raised his hand and saluted. At this moment, the hull of the ship shook, and he was not fully adapted, and his body couldn't help but tilt.

Chen Shangchuan stretched out his hand to help him and said with a smile: "Be careful, Second Lieutenant Duan." ”

Duan Zhiying's face turned red, and he snorted: "General Chen, I am only a midshipman ensign." ”

"If you have merit in the first war, you will be turned positive, and if you have no merit in the third war, you will also be turned positive." Chen Shangchuan smiled and said, "I envy you very much for being able to teach and teach His Royal Highness!" ”

"There are also advanced classes in the martial arts hall." Duan Zhiying thought that Chen Shangchuan didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly introduced: "His Royal Highness Min knows that the senior generals need to command the battle, and they are located in various places, there is not enough time, and it is not easy to gather, so he adopted the study hour system. As long as they have completed enough hours of study and passed the examination, they will be awarded a new military rank. (To be continued......)
