Chapter 504: Power
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There were not many Qing soldiers in Henan, just like the Ming court, which was ravaged by thieves.
In the past six months, with the help of Fan Yongdou, the General's Mansion has established a complete news network in Henan, and Zhai Zhe knows Henan well.
At present, although the strength of the Qing court is stronger than that of the Great General's Mansion, it not only garrisons the Beijing division to deter the Mongols, but also wants to besiege the city of Datong, and at the same time heavily defend the Jianghuai, and the hinterland of the Central Plains is actually very empty.
The Central Plains no longer has the glory of the past, since the seventeenth year of the great drought in Chongzhen, it has become a burden on the rulers in fact, the drought is followed by the military disaster, and the production of Henan has not been restored. The people had to balance the difference between death and the harvest, and perhaps wait for less to die, so that peace could be restored here.
After the heavy snowfall, the Ming army went out again.
After crossing the river, the foot soldiers trekked through knee-high snowfields. Some old soldiers in the army are no strangers to this, when the Tianxiong army fought Yunyang in the snowy day, it was with Lu Xiangsheng thousands of miles to help, and killed from the south of Gyeonggi to Huguang in a month, and now they want to take the opposite road.
Before the army came out, a group of people rushed to Shanxi first.
Jin Xiaoding hoped that the Ming army would go to Henan to meet the rebel army across the river, but he also brought a lot of information, the most important of which was of course Wu Sangui's opinion.
For example, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others have been taking refuge in the Qing court for many years, and they are already full of people in their bones, and there is no possibility of rebellion, only Wu Sangui is different, two years ago he was still the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan in the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing soldiers first entered the customs, Emperor Hongguang sent envoys to canonize him, but he did not sternly refuse, and even accepted the canonization of the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty at the same time. Until the Ming army broke through the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Longwu also sent an envoy to go, at that time, Wu Sangui not only sternly refused, but even tied up the Ming court envoy to Dolgon.
After Jiang was set up, the only powerful independent leader in the Qing court was Wu Sangui. Dolgon's reward for him is not insignificant, so what can I come up with to make Wu Sangui anyway? Zhai Zhe was exhausted, and the warm and energetic body beside him could not arouse his interest.
"He's Han"
This is the most important bargaining chip, but this is not a few hundred years later, and the concept of the Han people has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people. People in this era think more about clans, loyal monarchs and teachers. As long as the anti-shaving order explodes, people can see a little shadow of the Han people. Besides, talking about the nation with the feudal town will make people laugh off their big teeth.
Every qiē is power, and Zhai Zhe has understood today that the so-called general trend of the world is nothing more than the evolution of power. Wu Sangui has the intention of showing favor to the Ming court, and he will not bow to him Zhai Zhe, he must be the emperor of Nanjing City.
"Fujian and Guangdong have already belonged to the Zheng family, the Great Western Army has been in Yungui in recent years, if Sichuan is given to Wu Sangui again, it will really be five dynasties and ten kingdoms" Zhai Zhe's rough palm stroked the silky satin-like skin of the beauty beside him. History is really a dead cycle, as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said, if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and if you are united for a long time, you must be divided.
Gao Huijun curled up beside the man like a kitten.
"Back then, Han Xin asked Liu Bang to be a fake king, and Liu Bang said that if he wanted to be a real king, he would be a fake king. Since Daming already has two princes, why should I be stingy with the other. ”
After he made his decision, he immediately remembered the Great Western Army, those Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates had occupied Yunnan this year, and the soldiers and horses were fast. The Great Western Army is different from Wu Sangui, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible for them to be treated the same as Zheng Zhilong and Wu Sangui, and it is impossible for Zhai Zhe to give them a higher status than the Loyal Battalion
Beauty is like fine wine, Zhai Zhe leaned sideways and hugged his soft body from behind, throwing aside the national affairs full of his mind. He didn't like this kind of calculation and balance, which might have saved him a few years to live. He just doesn't like it, it's not that he won't. Those days on the grassland benefited him for the rest of his life. Fighting with Huang Taiji, with Ezhe as a companion, the division and integration of the Han Department and Tumut, those all contain the essence of politics.
Initial contact with Wu Sangui can only be simple, and this part carries a huge risk. On the monotonous snowfield, a caravan is struggling to walk. The ruts were very shallow in the snow, indicating that there was not much cargo on the car. The caravan guys were all wearing white felt hats, and some of them were unshaved. Since the Jiangnan anti-shaving returned to the Ming Dynasty, the shaving order has actually existed in name only.
After the rise of the Shanxi Righteous Army, except for Taiyuan City, almost all the squires in other places cut off their braids, whether they were willing or unwilling. After two months of bloody slaughter, Dorgon ordered the knife to be sealed. It's not because he's merciful, he needs Han minions, not Han dead corpses.
Liu Suifeng's head was curled behind his head, and a wide fur hat blocked half of his face. Despite the risks, he decided to take matters into his own hands. There will be no danger in Henan, as long as it is a person, there is a void, and now the people in power in Henan are Han people, Fan Yongdou has gone to Jiangnan, but the relationship is still there.
"Drive, drive" the driver whipped and cursed mutterably from his throat. The willows in the car bumped with the wind, and the ruts of the pack horses fell into a deep pit. A few men rushed out, shouting and shouting, and fought their way out of the pit. Liu leaned against the wall of the car with the wind, and he did not move.
The road is harder than he imagined, and what he has to do is even harder.
Not only did he have to bring out more than 30,000 people like Jin Xiaoding, but he also wanted to establish contact with Wu Sangui.
He will not venture into Wu Sangui's barracks, but this is a gesture, he has followed Zhai Zhe to this day, how can he be willing to be a staff member forever.
After the Huguang War, everyone needs to breathe, and that will be the moment of redistribution of power. Liu Suifeng positioned himself as the center, and Zhai Zhe would not let him be in charge. But a center without local support is like a tree without roots. The military general system of the General's Mansion is now centered on Fengqin and Zuoruo, and at the same time there is also the Tianxiong Army system, the Zhedong system, the Jiangnan Volunteer Army system, and now the loyal battalion and the generals have been added, in fact, all the factions are under the control of Zhai Zhe. But civil affairs are different. This piece involves real interests, and the era of Chen Zilong's monopoly on power will eventually pass.
According to Liu Suifeng's analysis, Zhai Zhe's concession to the Jiangnan gentry has entered the final stage. Zong Mao, Fan Yongdou and Yao Qisheng will all get their places, including him Liu Suifeng, of course. These people all relied on the generals to start their careers, unlike Chen Zilong and Du Yinxi, who have always retained the fig leaf of respecting the imperial court.
Contacting Wu Sangui should be the last important layout for Liu Suifeng to experience himself, not only for Zhai Zhe, but also for himself. He has many opponents, Fan Yongdou and Zong Mao, and those people are far more difficult to deal with than the generals in the army
In any case, the Liu family was the first family to follow the general, and Liu Quan's son, Liu Taixi, had already granted the Zhuji County Order and took the first step to enter the imperial court.
Ever since he heard his grandfather tell him the tricks of the battle between the kingdoms and courts, he had been looking forward to the thrill of walking on thin ice. He failed to pass the Jinshi examination, and even lifted people, but he was able to get his wish.
