In fact, for Tuhai's "abrupt" performance, so far, at least two people have understood his true intentions - one is Hongyi, needless to say; There is another one, that is, the high emperor Fulin.

If it weren't for Xuan Ye's quick reaction and a gentle step, Fu Lin really didn't know how to take Tuhai, his close confidant. But it was because of his son's "correct" reaction that he also gave Fulin a sudden warning - he ascended the throne at a young age, was pro-government as a young man, and the days of ruling were still long, but Tuhai, who was his close minister, began to cling to the second son of the emperor who was only two years old so hard, and the hidden worries can be imagined.

Fu Lin loves to read history, so he naturally understands the simple truth that one country cannot be the other, and knows more clearly the bloody father-son suspicion and cannibalistic blood lessons in history! The more Xuan Ye is so outstanding, the more problems and troubles there are! Tuhai already has "two ambitions", what should he do? It can't be said that Tuhai did something wrong, Xuan Ye is indeed magical, maybe in the future, his Zuihou holy decree will be given to him! However, the so-called 'tree big move, big wind tree, big wind shake tree, people are famous, famous and famous', too early to show your scheming will have unforeseen circumstances! It seems that in the future, if there is a chance, you can take care of the ministers who are as thoughtful as Tuhai. Well, there are ready-made ones in the history books! That is 'the Father forsakes and the Son uses'! Find a chance to abolish it for you, if you are truly loyal to you, you will naturally be able to endure loneliness; If there is a genius and the new monarch ascends the throne, he will naturally be appointed as usual!

"Good! What Xuan Ye and Tu Hai said was very much in line with my intentions, and they folded Kunne. Did you write it down? Fulin made up his mind and spoke.

"The minion made a note of it." As the "secretary of the meeting", he was absolutely conscientious.

"Thank you, Emperor! The slave also thought that Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, cooperated with me in the Qing Dynasty back then, dispatched the soldiers under his jurisdiction, and skillfully deployed, which seemed to be heavily guarded, but in fact the door was wide open, which allowed Prince Boluo to enter Fujian in a big way. It can be seen from this that the achievements of King Tong'an, as a maritime merchant, are obvious. As a warlord. He is also quite capable. Indeed, I need to make good use of the Lord's pilgrimage so that people can make the best use of their talents. However, he was unpopular among the high-ranking officials in Longwu's puppet government, which shows that his political strategy and strategy are really mediocre. In this case, the emperor can rest assured that he will use it......"

Tuhai seems to have been encouraged. I want to further contribute to Hongyi's big policy and send charcoal in the snow! What I didn't expect. Fulin interrupted him.

"Tuhai. You are right, but you are reckless. The military exploits of the Qing Dynasty have always been rewarded and punished. Don't forget. Even if Prince Rui is in power, the emperor is still me! I also know about those rewards! Where do you want to put me? ”

Fu Lin had a more "abrupt" attack, his tone was very calm, but his attitude was very firm.

"Minions...... The minion is guilty! ”

Tu Hai was shocked, he originally thought that he would be praised well, but he didn't think it was this conclusion! So I didn't have to get up, I knelt there and confessed my mistake.

"Hmmm! Penalty you for one year's salary, reflect well! The first worship of Manchuria is not a matter of one sentence, but falls everywhere, and the military power of the Qing Dynasty is undoubted! If you do it again, you won't be spared! ”

"Slave Leader Thanks!"

Hongyi on the side, seeing that Tu Hai, who had recently "assisted" him, was clearly reprimanded, but he thought that he had "understood" the reason: Fu Lin was rewarded and punished clearly - he agreed to his and Tu Hai's request, but suppressed Tu Hai's momentum, in order to take care of the face of the Manchurian nobleman Shili!

So, little Belle really didn't care too much, but was a little distracted. Because, Tuhai's historical research of seeking truth from facts reminded him a lot.

The first contribution to the pacification of Fujian is Zheng Zhilong, or the Qing army was able to quickly enter Fujian, and the biggest "traitor" is Zheng Zhilong! This is completely inseparable from what Zheng Zhilong did after he decided to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Zheng Zhilong's key deployment for the Qing Dynasty was to order his generals to abandon all passes and make way for the Qing army to enter Fujian. Among them, the most important is the retreat of Xianxia Ridge and the defenders of the Water Dividing Pass. And the Qing army entered Fujian from these two passes, which also confirmed the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and Boluo. As he said in his letter to Emperor Fulin in April of the fourth year of Shunzhi, "The Inscription of Zheng Zhilong of Fujian Province [1]", "When the minister heard that the emperor entered the Central Plains, he went south and cherished the heart of obedience. However, the mountains and rivers were blocked, and they learned that the soldiers had arrived, so the ministers immediately withdrew the troops stationed in various places, and told the prefectures and prefectures to store grass and straw to meet the army. ”

There is also a similar record in the "Longwu Chronicle": "Zhilong first made an agreement with the captive: to retreat the army as a letter, if the captive soldiers are in Xianxia, they will retreat to Pucheng, Linpu City will retreat to Jianning, Linjianning, then retreat to Yanping, Linyanping will retreat to the water mouth, Linshui will retreat to the city, and Linfu City will retreat into the sea." When Zheng Zhilong went to Fuzhou to surrender to Boluo, there was a surrender table: "After drawing the soldiers of each pass, return to Yanping's pawn; Open the provincial city to wait for the soldiers, board the sea boat and return to the southern soil; All over Xingquan Zhangyi, prepare soldiers, food, horses, and clouds. ”

It can be seen from this that Zheng Zhilong did open the door for the Qing army to enter Fujian, and he not only did not guard the pass, but also transferred the soldiers from all over the country back to Anhai, so that the Qing army could gain most of the cities in Fujian without a fight. He made a "contribution" to the Qing army's entry into Fujian.

Not only that, Zheng Zhilong's contribution to the Qing Dynasty is also manifested in the fact that he handed over the main force of an anti-Qing army to the Qing Dynasty.

Since Zheng Zhilong withdrew his troops to the coast as early as the Qing army entered Fujian, his main force was basically retained. The anonymous "Longwu Legacy" once said: "Zhilong is safe and peaceful, and the army is Ronghe." The battleships were in full swing, and the guns were constantly firing. Earthquake shook the world. "Qian Chengzhi's "On the Record of Knowledge? The Longwu Chronicle also said: "Zhilong retreated to Tun'anhai, and there were still five or six hundred ships. ”

Moreover, in addition to his direct troops, the remnants of his son Zheng Chenggong are also in Anhai. Zheng Chenggong has been stationed on the front line of Shanguan in Guangguang County, with more than 10,000 subordinates. In August of the second year of Longwu, the Qing army entered Fujian and went straight to Jianning Mansion and Yanping Mansion City, Zheng Chenggong's back road was copied, and he had to retreat to Fuzhou. At that time, Yanping had already been occupied by the Qing army, and most of Zheng Chenggong's troops were "bandits" recruited in Shaxian County, and it was very difficult for Zheng Chenggong to bring them back to the coast. Most of these people should have scattered in northern Fujian. Zheng Chenggong had some minor contact with the Qing army in Nanping, and finally broke through the blockade of the Qing army and returned to the coast. But. Most of his army must have been lost in the retreat, so when he returned to Anhai, he had no military power. Despite this, Zheng Chenggong still had considerable influence in the army, so he dared to give Zheng Zhilong advice. In addition, Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Hongkui once supported Emperor Longwu in history, and although he later broke up with Emperor Longwu, he supported Emperor Longwu in his heart. For this reason. He supported Zheng Chenggong and gave advice to Zheng Zhilong. Zuihou successfully entered the sea and supported him to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. Their existence is a major obstacle to Zheng Zhilong's surrender.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was met with great internal opposition. In addition to the well-known Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui. "Yang Geng, Marquis of Annan, Zhou Cuizhi, Marquis of Laiyi. General An Yang, Xin Yiyi, and others did not obey. Brother Zhi Leopard and Zi Cheng are especially admonished. "At the beginning of the year, Zhilong walked back to Anhai, and there were still five or six hundred warships in each battalion. The proposal was established, and his younger brother Zhi Leopard heard the noise. Success is irretrievable. It is to entangle the comrades in the generals to go to the Golden Gate and unite the water village on the Wuyang. At that time, Zhou Cuizhi and others also committed suicide and other means to oppose Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zeng Ying, Zhang Kentang and other former ministers of the Ming Dynasty took refuge on the island, and they also had considerable influence in the Zhilong army.

Therefore, in this context, it is not easy for Zheng Zhilong to complete the deployment of Qingqing. The reason he was able to do this was because he had the army in his hands. His idea of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty should be supported by his main generals, such as Shi Fu [2], Shi Lang and others, whose attitude has always been inclined to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, despite the opposition of the pro-Ming faction, Zheng Zhilong decided to surrender to the Qing. Subsequently, the main force of Zheng Zhilong's department, which was dominated by Shi Fu's department, also followed Li Chengdong and others to attack Guangdong.

As Tuhai said, the Ming army under Shi Fu is actually the backbone of Zheng Zhilong's army. After this army was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, most of the remaining Zheng troops were scattered by guerrillas, and most of them could not fight. In the years after Zheng Chenggong raised the anti-Qing banner on the island, he was defeated again and again, and there was no improvement in one or two years, and the main reason for this was that the loss of this main force and the newly recruited guerrillas were scattered and could not form a fighting force. It was not until the fifth year of Shunzhi that Shi Fu and Shi Lang's troops rebelled from the Qing court and returned to Zheng Chenggong, that Zheng Chenggong's troops grew into a team that could fight well.

And now in the Shunzhi Dynasty, Shi Fu and Shi Lang had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the eighth year of Shunzhi, and they were reused.

[See "Appendix 31 - On the Reasons for the Conflict between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang" of the "Public Chapter" here.] For Shi Lang, Hongyi always thinks that he is not righteous enough, but he has clear ambitions. Because the contradiction between Zheng Chenggong and him is actually a political struggle based on different judgments of the general trend. I would like to say what I think is "from my heart" for Shi Lang -- whoever can preserve his strength at sea will buy his life. The first to surrender to the Qing court was because Zheng Zhilong "maybe" continue the fortunes of the sea merchants; rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to Zheng Chenggong because Zheng Zhilong lost power, and his son Zheng Chenggong became the only maritime "representative" at that time; The reason for rebelling against Zheng Chenggong and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was because Zheng Chenggong embarked on the road of armed secession, and the central government adopted a high-pressure policy. 】

It can be seen that Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty caused great damage to the Southern Ming Dynasty and brought great benefits to the Qing army, and the so-called "first merit of Pingfu" is well deserved.

But in Hongyi's understanding, Zheng Zhilong's real "head work" is not to sacrifice Fujian, but to sacrifice a "marine shili" that is precious in history, but unfortunately was stupidly erased by the Qing court!

"A limerick poem. Look at the first word of each sentence》

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

Outside the map, it has been sharpened

It's hard to know what you're going to do

I got up and wore Rokkazi

Point out the world's pain and joy

China's brilliant ten thousand idiots

The Wenwu Dynasty was the only Qing Dynasty

[1] On the first page of "Selected Translations of Zheng Chenggong's Manchu Archives and Historical Materials", there is the "Inscription of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian Province" in April of the fourth year of Shunzhi, indicating that Zheng Zhilong had not yet been ordained at that time. In August of the fifth year of Shunzhi, he was awarded the first-class Jingqi Nihafan, and the matter was found in the "Qing Shizu Record" volume 40. Until August of the ninth year of Shunzhi, Zheng Zhilong's self-signed official title to the Qing court was still "Xiang Huang Qi Zheng Qin Ni Ha Fan" (that is, inlaid with Huang Qi Qi Ni Ha Fan), see "Ming and Qing Historical Materials", Ding ed., Book 1, page 63. Xie Guozhen's "A Brief History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" says that after Zheng Zhilong was deceived into Beijing, the Qing court "only named him the Marquis of Tong'an and told him to live in Beijing" (p. 142). The Qing court named Zheng Zhilong as the Marquis of Tong'an in May of the tenth year of Shunzhi, the purpose was to appease Zheng Chenggong, and it had been more than six years since Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

[2] Shi Fu, also known as Shi Tianfu, is a native of Yakou Village, Longhu, Jinjiang, Fujian, China, and his ancestral home is Gushi County, Henan. Zheng Zhilong's general, Shi Lang's uncle. Shi Fu is not only handsome and dashing, graceful, but also ambitious, at the age of eighteen he joined Zheng Zhilong's troops from Rong, because of his brave combat and strategy, he won Zheng Zhilong's appreciation and trust, and was soon promoted to the position of the commander of the Chinese army, the general of the Chinese army, and became Zheng's confidant. In response to the rampant piracy at that time, the rise of the heroes, and the disobedience of the armed shili to the orders of the government, Shi Fu proposed that "those who are oriented should surrender; The strong are destroyed", which was approved by Zheng Zhilong and acted according to his plan. In this way, Zheng Zhilong received the local armed forces who came to surrender, exterminated the robbers who did not want to submit, completely cleared the obstacles to sea navigation, and monopolized maritime trade. It can be said that the Zheng Group was able to achieve these victories, and Shi Fu contributed a lot. Shi Lang joined the army for the first time, because Shi Fu was fighting at sea with Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch navy who came to harass him, and he did not have time to take care of him. Shi Lang voted again, and after Shi Fu's strong recommendation, Zheng Zhilong appointed Shi Lang as Shi Fu's deputy. Shi Fu was very fond of the twenty-three-year-old nephew, and handed over the command of the Chinese army to give full play to his military talents. Shi Lang is grateful for Zheng Zhilong's promotion, as well as the reuse and trust of his uncle Shi Fu. Later, Shi Lang and Shi Fu descended to the Qing Dynasty and also fought side by side together. During the second refuge in Zheng Chenggong from the fifth year of Shunzhi to the eighth year of Shunzhi, the uncle and nephew cooperated very happily. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, Shi Lang fell out with Zheng Chenggong, and it was with the help of Shi Fu that he was able to return to the mainland and surrender to the Qing court.
