266 The Flood Furnace Shines Through the Night (5)
The seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the first year of Shunzhi, July 12.
Thousands of people in Beijing were empty, and they all went to see the Dongyu army swearing to go out of the city. Seeing Donglu playing a white banner and writing on the eight characters of "Sweep away the rebellion and return to the Ming Emperor", many people believed it and wept.
In the private seat on the second floor of Tiande Building, a Manchurian Zhenyi wearing arrow sleeves, pierced ears, and a pigtail with money rat tail on his head sat by the window with a Han man wearing a wide-sleeved Hanfu, a big collar, and a six-in-one hat.
The Han man poured a full wine for Manchurian Zhenyi, and said with a smile: "Young lord......"
"Oh no!" Ai Xing interrupted loudly: "Call me all over!" ”
"Master Dutong!" The Han people are not picky, it is Song Hongye, the current squire of the military department. He smiled and asked, "Master, isn't Shi Tingzhu a Han?" Can the prince trust him so much? ”
Aixing Ah looked up and said, "Do you think his surname is Shi and he is a Han person?" He was a member of the Suwan Guerjia clan, a true Manchurian. His great-grandfather Habu was the commander of the left guard of the late Ming Jianzhou, his grandfather was called Arsonga, and his father was called Shi Han. At that time, because he wanted to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, he took Shi as his surname. ”
"He's a white flag? Isn't that the banner of the prince? Song Hongye pretended not to understand, and asked in a loud voice.
"Haha," Aixing Daxiao said, "you really don't know anything!" He is the white flag of the Han army, how can he be the same flag as the prince? ”
"Oh!" Song Hongye replied with a long sigh: "How do you see whether it is Manchuria, Mongolia, or the Han army?" ”
"Manchuria and Mongolia, look at the hair." Ai Xing'a pointed to his head: "The Han army generally uses bird guns and spears, and is not very good at using shun knives. When the first emperor was there, he originally called them Wuzhen Chaoha, which was a heavy soldier who could cast cannons and use cannons. Hey, why don't you know anything? ”
"I didn't dare to inquire before, for fear of committing a taboo......" Song Hongye was cautious. Picking up his eyes and looking at his love star, he looks like an angry little daughter-in-law. Seeing Ai Xing's face disapplauded, Fang said quietly: "I'm an outsider after all." ”
"According to me," Ai Xing Ah grabbed the mutton on the table, "you, don't be reluctant to give up this hair." Three or two shaved. I raise you into the flag. Even if you can't enter the Manchurian flag, it's good to enter the Han military flag. ”
"I'm afraid there will be no meritorious service." Song Hongye shook his head heavily, raised his head sharply and said, "That's right! Master, can anyone write the Great Manchurian Chronicles now? ”
"What Great Manchuria?" Ai Xing Ah was stunned when he heard this.
"My Han family has a genealogy, the local chronicles have a local history, the country has a national history, and the dynasty has a record." Song Hongye said excitedly: "Just now I only heard Du Ye talk about Shi Tingzhu's family, and I feel that Manchuria has a long history, why don't you compile the surnames of each family into a chronicle." It's also for people to look at. ”
Ai Xing Ah touched a round of stiff beard around his mouth, and nodded slightly: "It seems that there is some truth, so that you don't always regard us as barbarians." ”
"But I still have to ask the prince for advice on this matter......" Song Hongye said.
"Don't even think about it." Ai Xing chewed the mutton and waved his hand: "Although what you said makes sense, this errand must still be given to Sony's old guys, lest they always fart in front of the prince all day long." Hey, I'll tell you the right thing, if you do it well. It's also a big credit! ”
"Please also raise the master!" Song Hongye hurriedly sent his ears up, looking like he was listening attentively.
Ai Xing Ah lowered his voice: "The prince intends to set up an internal affairs office. In charge of the emperor's family affairs. ”
Song Hongye nodded, and said secretly: Isn't this the job of a eunuch?
"There's a criminal department in there," Aixing paused, "and I want to find someone who can take care of it." I'll recommend you. ”
"Huh?" Song Hongye exclaimed in a low voice and said solemnly: "Master Du, I am also loyal to our Qing Dynasty." It's okay to shave your head, but if you cut your eggs, I won't do it! I don't have a son yet......"
"What do you mean to cut your eggs!" Ai Xing Ah scolded with a smile: "Look at you scared!" The errand workers in the Internal Affairs Office are all covered by the Three Banners, the emperor's family, and they are in charge of those who have no eggs. ”
"That's ......" Song Hongye gently wiped the sweat on his forehead. asked: "Isn't the Criminal Division supposed to be related to the Criminal Department?" I'm a soldier in the army. ”
"That's it, come here." Aixing Allah took Song Hongye a handful, and his mouth was full of fishy and almost sprayed on his face: "The prince suspects that there are spies in Beijing!" ”
"Huh?" Song Hongye didn't know if Ai Xing Ah was deceiving himself, and pretended to be surprised: "How can there be such people?" Zhu Ming's qi is exhausted, and now is the time for me to open the foundation of the world! How could there be such a person! ”
Aixing Ah smiled: "Who said it wasn't?" However, a few days ago, the prince set up two armies to go south and west, this matter is obviously confidential, and the people who know it are just me, Tan Tai, Sony, Ao Bai, Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin, Qi Chongge, Hong Chengchou, a few ......"
"That's a lot......"
"Listen to me!" Ai Xing Ah pulled Song Hongye again: "As a result, the crown prince who imprisoned the emperor Lao Tzu actually rushed to send troops north on this knife edge. You say, he doesn't move early or late, but he moves at this time. If there were no spies, how could there be such a coincidence? ”
"Xu is that he has collected enough food, just in time to send troops to fight......" Song Hongye retorted.
Ai Xing Ah ignored it, and said: "Among these people, the prince is the most trustworthy is me, so let me find my confidant family, enter the Shen Criminal Division, and then arrest this spy!" As he spoke, Ai Xing's palm clenched hard, as if pinching the heart of the spy.
Song Hongye shook his head again and again: "I can't say anything about this, they are all banner people, and they are all powerful people...... Tsk, I can also be a good squire of the military department and the commander of the patrol battalion. ”
"Hey, don't get in the way!" Ai Xing said: "As long as you enter the Shen Criminal Division, what should be investigated and what should be done, the squire and the commander of the military department are still in charge, anyway, it is the same thing." ”
"What's the same thing about this? How can I afford to offend these people? Song Hongye cried slightly: "Besides, I'm not the coat of the three flags." ”
"Your lord, I am the Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria! What's wrong? Came to be a coat for the master and wronged you? Ai Xing said unhappily.
"How can I ......?"
"Then go back and shave your head!" Aixing Aha said with a smile: "The prince values you very much, and thinks that you are a person who does things safely and has rules, which is much better than those who can't do anything." ”
……
Song Hongye returned home with a confused look, sent his subordinates, and got into bed with his wife.
"Did he promise to make a book?" The delicate little lady suddenly changed into a different person, without the slightest greeting.
The compilation of a Manchurian clan chronicle is the Jihua of Song Hongye and his "wife", from which it is possible to collect various family information of Manchurian nobles, as well as information on the generals of the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners. With this personal information, we can know what kind of grievances and hatreds exist between them, which can lay the foundation for the implementation of counter-plots.
Moreover, the crown prince also said that it is the people's hearts and minds that are fought in wars, as long as they grasp the weaknesses of the people's hearts of the Manchurian generals, why can't they prescribe the right medicine? If this errand can be begged, it can be blatantly collected and passed on information.
"I'm afraid it won't be my turn." Song Hongye said: "Ai Xing Ah thinks this matter is a bit interesting, but it is likely that the Nine Chiefs will be handed over to Sony and those people to handle." ”
"That's it......" The lady sighed helplessly: "It's up to you to see if you can use it." ”
"But he gave me another errand...... Song Hongye took a deep breath, and said that he would be put into Shangsanqi as a coat, enter the Criminal Department of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and track down the matter of "so Ming and spies". The little lady was stunned when she heard this, and it took a long time to come back to her senses: "That means that you will catch yourself in the future?" ”
"The Nine Chiefs are the top smart among the Manchurians, and I'm afraid I won't be able to play him." Song Hongye frowned and said: "He can guess that His Highness has information, it must be more than just what Ai Xing Ah said, otherwise what is the difference with Hu Guess?" In my opinion, either there are spies on His Highness's side, or ...... It's just that he really got suspicious of me. ”
"That information was heard from Tan Tai, what are you afraid of." The lady bit her lip and said.
"I just don't know if I said it on purpose......" Song Hongye felt his heart tighten more and more.
The lady slapped him on the arm and said, "Don't scare yourself." A bunch of savages, what measurement can they have? In my opinion, Dafang went to pick up the errand, and saw the move! Afraid of what? As long as the news is spread, the truth is determined by His Highness, what does it matter to you? ”
"No, no," Song Hongye shook his head again and again, "I suddenly thought of a way to catch me in one fell swoop." (To be continued......)
