PS: Today and tomorrow [Saturday and Sunday] will continue to work overtime, so I have to manually release this chapter in the middle of the night, instead of automatically releasing it, so that the Brothers Charming have 100 experience points to allocate drops......

The emperor's close minister, the Manshang Book Tuhai of the Criminal Department, seemed to be angry with the squire of the military department, Colkun, and told a well-known past story - Dorobellebolo[1] and Zheng Zhilong, the prince of Longwu Pingguo, should cooperate with each other, so that they successfully took Fujian in the Southern Ming Dynasty. But immediately following this objective historical fact, it is an "anecdote" that shocked everyone - Bolo once clearly promised Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and waited for the seal!

Once this "rumor" is confirmed, not to mention whether the pro-government Fu Lin needs to bear the political responsibility of cashing in, the psychological advantage of the Manchu courtiers, especially the Manchu and Mongolian ministers' "habitual" contempt for the Zheng family and his son, will be wiped out - when you Bo Luoxu was a high-ranking official of Zheng Zhilong, and the people entered your big tent, you were coerced to Beijing and became a small "first-class Jingqi Nihafan", and also suffered the treatment of "residential surveillance" by Dolgon for many years, isn't this a typical crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? If he had known this, Zheng Zhilong would have been determined to fight you to the end in the Qing Dynasty, maybe there would be another Shi Kefa! At least the pacification of Fujian will definitely not take only three months!

But Tuhai said that this past that only he knew about was just to vent his evil anger in front of Colkouen? Or is it just to give his Han people who still admire him a little prestige? Hongyi doesn't think so.

He had only known Tu Hai for a day, but he was attracted by this man's wisdom and ability. Based on this excellent first impression, Hongyi can conclude. Tu Hai is by no means a crude person who is self-willed, let alone a simple person who has no deep meaning. Even if he can break up an old story in front of the emperor that makes the people in power unhappy, there must be a far-reaching purpose behind it.

"Tuhai must not talk nonsense, if Prince Ding has such a promise, he will definitely report to the court in advance for permission. Even if it happens suddenly, it should be seen afterwards. However, we have never heard of it. ”

The military department Shangshu Kadahun resolutely came out to correct the "rumors". As the minister in charge of military affairs, he could not sit idly by and watch the arrogant attitude and domineering momentum of the Manchurians and Mongolians to be threatened by the Qing court's arguments of "not believing in their words" and "unloading the mill and killing the donkey".

What's more, what Kadahun said is also the truth. Before and after Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, there was a considerable period of time when it could not be found in the official documents of the Qing Dynasty. Even if it was later coerced on the cusp of the storm. His name appears in the Qing court's proclamations. There is also a process of time deduction and identity change. However, the description of what "cast a seal to wait for the governor of Fujian and Guangdong" is indeed "unheard of".

The first mention of Zheng Zhilong in an official document of the Great Qing Dynasty was in June of the second year of Shunzhi. At that time, the Qing court had just pacified Nanjing, so it granted amnesty to Henan, Jiangbei, Jiangnan and other places. It is required that all parts of the country come and drop quickly. Thereinto. There is one that involves Zheng Zhilong. The original text said: "Therefore, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Ming Dynasty, such as the chief military officer of the world guarding Yunnan, the military officer of the conquest and suppression of Shu Kou, and the general soldier Zuo Liangyu of Wu Ban, and Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian and Guangzhou, etc. If it can be returned to Shun Cheng, the title will be appointed as usual. ”

After that, the Qing army successfully pacified Zhejiang and Fujian, but it "coincidentally" did not say a word in any of the reports of Boluo, the general of the expedition to the south, to Zheng Zhilong, who was greatly praised by Tuhai for his "internal and external cooperation".

Zheng Zhilong, the "general soldier of Fujian and Guangzhou" of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was mentioned again, and it was mentioned as early as June of the fourth year of Shunzhi, when the imperial court canonized the son of Abatai and Dorobellebolo as the "King of Doro County". The book says: "(Boluo) entered Fujian and punished the puppet Tang King Zhu Yuzhao and other puppet princes, seven county kings, one prince, two generals, one governor, one uncle, and one governor. A total of twenty-four enemy soldiers were defeated. Collected and surrendered 291 officials such as Zheng Zhilong, the puppet prince, 113,000 horse infantry, and all the 58 counties of eight prefectures and one prefecture were pacified, as well as the land of four counties in Jiangxi. Therefore, he was named the king of Doro County and was given a seal. In other words, after half a year of pacification in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong re-entered everyone's political field of vision as a "puppet national prince".

It wasn't until October of the fourth year of Shunzhi that the Qing court finally rewarded Zheng Zhilong once, because he "recruited (Fujian) Baisha to Jiazi and other places", but at that time he still used his title of Nanming - Toucheng "Pingguo Gong". In August of the fifth year of Shunzhi in the following years, Zheng Zhilong had the title of the Qing Dynasty for the first time - and Tang Tong, Zuo Mengeng, Dong Xueli, Xu Dingguo, Zi'an and others who surrendered to Cheng, were awarded the first-class Jingqi Nihafan, which belonged to the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, but it was far from the "Governor of Fujian and Guangdong".

Therefore, Hanlin, who did not specialize in studying all kinds of documents of the Chinese Academy of History, only relied on information channels such as imperial court reports, so he naturally had no idea about the fact that Zheng Zhilong was entrusted with the important task of the governor of Fujian and Guangdong by Boluo, the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Fujian. And this happens to be the unique advantage of Tuhai, who was born in Hanlin.

"Karma has a point. This question is questioned, Tuhai has been thinking for a long time, and it is by no means an overnight force. The lower officials referred to many historical notes written by Confucianism during the puppet government of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and then carefully compared the Shangshu of Prince Boluo of Ding, but he was always puzzled by one thing, that is, Zheng Zhilong was in charge of the puppet government of Longwu alone, but why did he surrender to our dynasty? After Zheng Zhilong, who lived in the country, surrendered, why didn't he hear that Prince Boluo reported to the imperial court, but quietly coerced him to go north and return to Beijing after pacifying Fujian? ”

Tu Hai's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit with these two "profound" questions, making Hongyi look at it and fall into deep thought - yes, recruiting the "Pseudo-Ping Guogong" is a great achievement, Bolo shouldn't hide it, but why hide it and not report it? Unless......

Tuhai below suddenly opened his eyes and said very firmly:

"Your Majesty, after thinking about it, the slave only found one answer, that is, if he did not report the news of Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the imperial court, there would be a lot more credit than this one! That's definitely not a 'military feat'! ”

Hongyi almost high-fived excitedly - he coincided with Tuhai! Indeed, marching to fight and recruiting a minister can only be regarded as "literary skills", no matter how exaggerated it is, it is not as enjoyable as the "martial arts" of how many cities and how many heads are won with a real sword, and it is easier to get rewarded by the imperial court!

"How? You are saying that Prince Bolo deliberately concealed the merit of recruiting the King of Tong'an. But for the sake of military merit? "Fu Lin probably thought of it too!

"Your Majesty! Not only that, but the slave deduced that before the five hundred personal guards of King Tong'an returned to Boluo, they must have helped the Qing Dynasty Eight Banners to be invincible, and they had a lot of credit. If it is reported to the imperial court according to the truth, I am afraid that the governor of Fujian and Guangdong will not be a problem. But in this way, Prince Ding's merits will be greatly reduced, and Dorobelle at that time will not successfully become the king of Doro County after returning to the north to Beijing! ”

Tuhai didn't intend to stop there, and continued:

"Therefore, the slave thought. Bolo, the general of the expedition to the south. Concealed the first merit of King Tong'an's peace! ”

The view of the sea in the picture below is even more radical! Not only does the merit of Pingmin depend on Zheng Zhilong, but even the first merit is counted on a Han person! In an instant, everyone's sleepy insects were shaken away. Regardless of the old and the young, everyone talked about it for a while. Late at night, there was a disturbance in the palace.

Hear here. Hongyi finally had a basic judgment on the reason why Tuhai behaved like this - this benevolent brother wanted to completely overthrow the peerless exploits of the Eight Banners soldier Pingmin. And we must strongly respect the role of Zheng Zhilong as a pillar of the South Heaven back then!

But what's the benefit? Suppressing the momentum of the five-person Colcoin? Deniing the overall interests of the Manchurians for the sake of a personal dispute between one person will definitely outweigh the losses! Elevate the position of the Han Chinese? But this is a brutal act at the cost of suppressing the status of the Manchurians, and it must backfire!

Come and think about it. There are two biggest possibilities - first, Tuhai, a Manchurian scholar who has been deeply sinicized, already has an objective and fair idea that is beyond the times; Second, by promoting Zheng Zhilong's status to second, he used Zheng Zhilong's views to take the initiative to give himself a hug! According to the current situation analysis, the second possibility is more likely!

"Pingmin's first merit? Tuhai, you're just talking nonsense! In the Battle of Pingmin, how many bloody battles did my Eight Banners children experience? First the two battles of Xianxialing and Fenshuiguan, and then the battles of Jianning Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and Tingzhou City, until the capture of Fuzhou City, which one was less bloody and fighting? With just one Zheng Zhilong's internal and external cooperation, can he capture Fujian without blood? Sure enough, Wu Bai, a veteran-level Manchurian general, "stepped forward" and fired at Tuhai first.

"Tuhai! Could it be that the deputy general of Pingmin, the prince of Ding, Bolo, and the prince of Zhaoxun, have all died, so no one refutes your paradoxical theory? Don't forget, Durd under the account of Turai is now the Minister of State in the position of Commander of the Protectorate! The emperor can order Durd to enter the palace immediately, and when he is confronted, he will know if Tuhai is talking nonsense! The more Wu Bai talked, the more angry he became, and he even forgot that the Forbidden City was already under curfew, and it was difficult for anyone to come and come.

"Wu Bai is a little safe." Fu Lin didn't want to wait for half an hour in the middle of the night for another confrontation of views, so he didn't take the suggestion to summon Durd.

"Tuhai, since you dare to make such a conclusion, you may have some solid evidence, say it one by one, otherwise it is a serious crime to slander the prince and shake the morale of the army!"

For his beloved ministers, Fulin emotionally still hopes that Tu can still get out of the way.

"Your Majesty, the minions not only have solid evidence, but also can clearly tell Lord Wu that Xianxialing, Fenshuiguan, Jianning Mansion, Yanping Mansion, Tingzhou City and even Fuzhou City, the battles you mentioned in Pingfu are probably all lies exaggerated by Prince Ding and in order to achieve military exploits!"

Tu Hai didn't do anything, and he just wanted to make a big turn over the official history of the Qing army's entry into Fujian!

"Tuhai, you! You're crazy! ”

Wu Bai was heartbroken, unable to help himself, and swayed for two or three laps before he could barely stand firm with the help of others.

Seeing that situation, Hongyi couldn't wait to shout "full of rape" for him on the spot, but he was hee-hehe, watching it lively, very enjoyable.

Tuhai, Tuhai, my Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department, what are you going to do?
