Chapter Seventy-Five: Falling Out with Yongli
Cao Bianjiao kicked the messenger away, but it did not relieve the danger. "Go!" With a roar, the people sent by Yongli all rushed in with lightning speed, and their momentum was staggering. Because the envoys of Yongli all know that at least one person must be caught.
No, unfortunately, Xuan Jianhao was held hostage by a person who held his neck down. Li Yan's shout: "Be careful" is too late. The soldiers came quickly, their spears pointed at the messenger.
The messenger shouted: "Listen to me! Obey the Holy Order and send out now! If there is any more disobedience, they will be killed! ”
Xuan Jianhao still said the same thing: "You can't send troops!" In order to resist the great cause of the Qing Dynasty! In order to restore the Ming Dynasty! We must endure! In ancient times, there were courtiers who died! I'm here to give you a damn today! ”
It was Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun who said this first: "If you kill Mr. Xuan, then we will all be reversed!" ”
Cao Bianjiao had long been completely dead to the Ming Dynasty, and he was in favor of the words of the two later generations, but these words could not be said.
The envoy's eyelids jumped, he really killed Xuan Jianhao, even if he would die, he would not hesitate to do so, just to warn those who did not obey the emperor's order, when he came, he was already ready to die.
The envoy's eyes showed a fierce light, and everyone knew that Xuan Jianhao's life was in danger! The hand shook, moved, and "swished", from above the roof, an arrow was shot, and with a "clang" sound, the knife was hit by the arrow.
Xuan Jianhao started to act at the same time, and he threw the messenger out of the way. Immediately, someone stepped forward and held the messenger down.
The messenger cried out: "You do not listen to the commandments! You're all reversed! If you don't obey the Ming Dynasty, you rebellious ministers and thieves will not end well! ”
Xiong Zongheng shouted at the messenger: "What are you doing! There's no room for you to speak here! Arrogant! What qualifications do you have to be arrogant! Wu Xun also stepped forward and said, "That's it!" Over here. Even if it's Yongli. You have to be honest, too. And you dog minions! Let me tell you, this is the territory of King Qi! ”
"What!" The envoy is on fire, how to say it, he is also an imperial envoy, but he is said like this, is there still an emperor in his eyes? How unforgivable! Besides, the four seas are not the king's land, they are simply too presumptuous!
"Wu Xun! Bear Horizontal! Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao both spoke up, they couldn't let the envoy be harmed. Let them be sent back to Yongli again, and there will be no injuries at all, which is also good.
Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao knew that from now on, Emperor Yongli would definitely be angry, and if he contributed to forcing Li Dingguo, Li Guo and others to raise troops, it would be difficult. And He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others still have thousands of people in their hands, and they are still expanding, they are the pro-army of Emperor Yongli, and Emperor Yongli issued an order. They will raise troops, and there will be no excuses.
Lu Xiangsheng discussed with Xuan Jianhao. Can't let Yongli get angry, more or less it has to be a scene, so he asked 50,000 people to be ready to listen to Hou Yongli's orders, just to do kung fu on the surface, and at the same time to Li Dingguo and Li Guo secret letters, hoping that Li Dingguo and Li Guo would not really attack.
However, these letters made Yongli give Zhilu Dao, Yongli was very annoyed, Li Dingguo and Li Guo were not loyal to him, and they were also complicit with Zhang Biwu, which is really infuriating!
And the messenger he sent was captured, although he was sent back, so it slapped Yongli in the face as an emperor, he is a dignified emperor! The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! Besides, just let them send troops to restore the holy capital and welcome the holy bow back to the capital, isn't this what the courtiers should do? They may not be too presumptuous!
The more Yongli thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he thought of the military generals' self-respect, it was extremely difficult to be like Chongzhen, and if he couldn't mobilize, he would be destroyed. Now this problem has come to his head again, think about Sun Kewang! Think of the tragic years of being bullied!
The more Yongli thought about it, the more scared he became, he thought that he must have his own army, and he couldn't always rely on these martial artists with soldiers in his hands, but he had to have an army loyal to himself! How can we have an army that is loyal to us?
Yongli racked his brains, Shi Kefa, He Tengjiao and others were also thinking about Yongli, they also wanted to strengthen the royal family and weaken the military power of all parties.
At this time, Li Dingguo's illness worsened, and he couldn't serve for a while. They thought of one thing, although Li Dingguo is the remnant of Onishi, he has to be said to be an out-and-out loyal minister! can be used, first collect his military power, and then find a way to confiscate the military power of the Dashun Army.
There are the remnants of Dashun and Daxi, so that they can gather more than 200,000 troops, and if they control these armies in their hands, and then they will conquer the horse themselves, then they will naturally be able to recover the Holy Capital.
Yongli overestimates his ability, he always thinks that as long as he is out of the horse, there is nothing that cannot be done, and many things are not easy to catch?
Yongli didn't know this, the greater his hope, the greater the disappointment, and the bigger and heavier the blow he received! This is the reason why he willingly stopped thinking about reviving the Ming Dynasty later, which is a later story.
Shi Kefa also proposed that if they wanted to expand the army, they would have to have a lot of money to recruit troops, which asked Zhang Biwu and others to provide them with money.
Shi Kefa also pointed out that Li Guo and the others had forced them to pay money before Li Zicheng, and they had seized silver, and there were thousands of thousands of money, so how could they not ask them for money? And Zhang Biwu seems to be wealthy, if you don't ask him for money, who do you ask for money? With money, you can recruit a lot of soldiers and be loyal to the emperor.
Yongli recognized and approved Shi Kefa's proposal, so he sent people to Zhang Biwu to tell Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao that they had offended the imperial envoy, and the crime was very great, and after a big threat, they explained that they must have something to say, and they must have money to pay tribute, and they asked for one million taels of silver and five hundred thousand taels of gold as soon as they opened their mouths!
Isn't this asking for Zhang Biwu's life? Although Zhang Biwu has obtained Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, it is very easy to take it out, but it can't be squandered like this, Shunzhi and Dolgon's falling out is because Zhang Xianzhong's treasure is in Dolgon, once it is given to Yongli, doesn't it show that the treasure is really in Zhang Biwu's place?
Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao came to Wei and said that there are not so many now, only 100,000 taels of silver. 10,000 taels of gold. At this moment. I'm not afraid of falling out, the reason why I gave it to you is because I respect you as the emperor on the surface, otherwise, I don't want to give it to you!
Yongli was angry when he saw it, he kicked the thing over, and said, "I want a million taels, but he only gives me 100,000 taels!" It's only a tenth! It's too much! I heard that Zhang Xianzhong's treasure is in Zhang Biwu's hands. As long as he has a million taels, it's a little! Damn it! My Da Ming was ruined at the hands of disloyal people like Zhang Biwu! He's still so remote in Taiwan! ”
"Li Dingguo and Li Guo......" Yongli was thinking, the Manchu spies lurking around Yongli, Zhu Dingxin said: "Your Majesty, have you heard?" Zhang Biwu colluded with the Manchus, and Dolgon wanted to return to his position as regent, so he colluded with Zhang Biwu. Now Zhang Biwu is going to fight Taiwan, which is nothing more than a tacit understanding reached between them! ”
Yongli listened and nodded, he thought about Zhang Biwu's disloyalty during this time. He is in Taiwan, and he can't control the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty under Zhang Biwu. But the emperor's order cannot be carried out on the army, and he is very dissatisfied.
Yongli sighed and said, "Yes! Oh, yes! I can finally feel the helplessness and pain of Emperor Chongzhen! Alas! Ke Xin, you and I are both members of the royal family, and we are all bent on revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of future generations, what do you say we should do now? ”
Zhu Dingxin replied: "Your Majesty, send Li Guo's army to fight Zhang Biwu!" When Zhang Biwu did not return from Taiwan, they fought with each other. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. If Li Guosheng can still get rid of Zhang Biwu, who is not loyal to the imperial court, even if Li Guo can't win, it will greatly damage Zhang Biwu's strength, and they will have a grudge in the future! In the past, Zhang Biwu and Li Guo were separated from each other, and there was a lot of collusion between them! We can't let them collude again to destroy the society! ”
Yongli had a sad face again, and said: "But now the most important thing in the world is to drive out the Tartars, if they let them use swords in vain, will it be ......?"
Zhu Dingxin replied: "The emperor and the Holy Monarch, this move is not a big deal, and the current Manchu civil strife is flawless, how can it take care of other things?" Also, Wu Sangui is also willing to come to escort the emperor, and with Wu Sangui's strong foreign aid, what else is the emperor afraid of? Please don't make any more mistakes! Now is the time to get rid of civil strife! When the other party is strong, it will be too late! Emperor! ”
When Yongli heard this, his own ears were soft, he had no prejudices, and his impressionable personality played a role again, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Dingxin, you can do it! I can trust you! You will definitely be able to build miracles for our Ming Dynasty! ”
Zhu Dingxin was very happy, he immediately went to draft the decree, and the decree was quickly delivered to Li Guo's hands, Li Guo looked at the holy decree, he was really embarrassed! It's so uncomfortable!
Gao Guiying saw Li Guo's appearance and said, "Guo'er, I don't think we can send troops to fight Zhang Biwu, no matter what the reason, we can't!" Why don't you ask us to send troops to the Manchus! ”
Li Guo nodded, and he said, "Okay! It's just that the holy decree will be urged again and again, so we will ......" Gao Guiying said: "Then we have a policy and a countermeasure!" Explain to Lin Quan that Lin Quan can explain it well! ”
Li Guo nodded, but his heart was full of bad premonitions, and he felt that the emperor was like this, which was really disappointing.
And people like Hao Shaoqi and others are even more dissatisfied, because Yongli constantly sends envoys to urge money, which makes the soldiers of the Dashun Army very dissatisfied, and now they want to send troops again, they are even more dissatisfied!
The soldiers of the Dashun Army said one by two, if it weren't for the anti-Qing Dynasty, how could they have thrown themselves under the banner of Yongli? What's the use of such an emperor? In the past, the Ming Emperor was regardless of their life and death, and they had no choice but to rebel, it seems that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty exchanged for this virtue, why should they serve them again?
When Li Guo saw it, he was sighing again, and many people were inclined to throw themselves to Zhang Biwu, or to restore the banner of Dashun.
These did not appear because Li Guo and Gao Guiying were suppressing. As Li Guo worried, Yongli would not approve Li Guo for sending troops to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but still sent people to urge them again and again, asking them to send troops to Zhang Biwu as soon as possible.
In desperation, Li Guo had no choice but to play a play with Lu Xiangsheng, so naturally he couldn't let Li Yan bring the troops here, so as not to have any accidents!
When Dolgon, who was at Shanhaiguan, heard about this, he couldn't help laughing, and he understood, and said, "It seems that I have to play this play again for Fulin!" Get ready to declare outward, saying that I am going back to Beijing and thus regent! Just like before! ”
Duoduo looked at Dorgon and said excitedly, "Really? Brother is determined to become an emperor? At the beginning, I advised you, even if you return to Liaodong, you will also be the lord of Liaodong, and no one can do anything to you! Now if you go back to Beijing, the whole world will be yours! ”
Azig followed suit and said, "Yes! Right, right! It's our fourteenth brother! Our fourteenth brother should have become emperor a long time ago! ”
"Ahem!" Dorgon coughed and said, "O Thord, my illness has made me a dying man, and no throne can tempt me!" I just want to help the Qing Dynasty and help Fulin reverse the situation, so that I can eliminate these anti-Qing forces! Fu Lin worked hard to make them all fall out, and now I have to do the plan to make Fu Lin successful! The trick is done! Let Fulin also know that I am really good for him! ”
When Duoduo heard this, he sighed helplessly again, Dorgon, it's just too dead-eyed! But Shunzhi couldn't understand his hard work.
Dolgon asked his men to pretend to enter Beijing and control the government, of course, just for show, he just wanted people to know that their Manchu Qing was divided, so that Yongli would not have any more concerns, just like Yongli had fought with the Shaowu regime in Guangdong before, and first take advantage of Zhang Biwu's absence to eliminate and destroy Zhang Biwu.
As soon as Shunzhi heard that Dolgon was sending troops to fight him, but Dolgon did not show his attacking ability, but confronted Fulin's pro-imperial army, and did not show that he was fighting to the death.
Even if this is the case, the stubborn Shunzhi still said something like this: "I know that Dolgon is unwilling and wants to regain power!" Hum! But he was also afraid in his heart! I'm afraid of being said by the people of the world, no matter how I say it, I am also the lord of the whole world! He, a chaotic minister and thief, can't take my place! My right! ”
In fact, Shunzhi himself knew in his heart that if Dolgon really wanted to seize power, Dolgon would not just squat at the door, it would not be a big move, just a pretending posture, so as to play this play well with Shunzhi. (To be continued......)
