Chapter 172: Man Gui also goes on a blind date
There are many reasons why Dorgon chose to believe in Aobai, the most important of which is not the hatred of taking the throne of Khan or the hatred of killing his mother. It was the peaceful world that Aobai wanted to build, which made him yearn for it.
Helping Huang Taiji fight against the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon didn't think it was possible to win. Even if the battle is won, how many people will have to die? How many Han Chinese can be killed to maintain their rule? Is it true that he has been fighting all his life like this, engaging in destruction rather than construction? Wholeheartedly help the sinister and cunning Huang Taiji who robbed himself of his sweat position? That's too stupid, he won't be blind under the nine springs.
Huang Taiji is the king of Khan, but he is also restricted by the three major beylers, and this has not changed in the short term. He could only keep Dorgon on his side. Originally, the eldest son Haoge could help him, but because of the two conflicts with Aobai, Haoge's image was greatly damaged, and until now, Huang Taiji has not been able to let him lead the army alone.
Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon, pretending to be a kind brother, and said with a smile: "Yanguli has dealt with the Chaoyu people on the border for many years, and he recommends you to me. Are you willing to lead your troops to attack Chao Xian? Yanguli said that you are good at scheming, and if you want to pay the least price to occupy Chao Xian, you are the most suitable. ”
Before Dolgon could fight for it, Huang Taiji thought of him first. He couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Starling has a life, I will definitely go all out, but I am still young, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." Can you get Azig and Haug to go with me? As long as Cheng occupies Chao Xian, Hauge can call the shots. ”
Huang Taiji naturally likes to listen to this, and Haoge is rarely in charge of the court. There is no need to worry about someone supporting the army and standing on their own. Immediately, he said, "Okay." As long as Sun Chengzong agrees to our conditions, you will be the commander of the expedition. "Dolgon is ready to occupy the DPRK and move at the right time. As long as Huang Taiji is defeated in the Central Plains, then he will kill Haoge and support his troops to stand on his own.
Aobai, I believe you can end the war. The people of the Guerjia clan, I will take them with me to conquer the Chao Xian. Although the representatives of different countries are listed, let's cooperate for a while. Although the two were thousands of miles apart, they thought of each other. Maybe that's what makes the heart have a soul.
The next day, Huang Taiji sent an envoy to Ningyuan. The letter reads: "General Sun, from now on, Ben Khan will cancel the Tiancong era name and use the Tianqi dynasty era name instead. As for the withdrawal from Shenyang and Liaoyang, it involves the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people, and it cannot be implemented immediately. But Ben Khan will immediately retreat fifty miles from the area east of the river, and General Sun will be able to advance as much as possible.
Shake hands and play dedication. Regarding the occupation of Chao Xian, although Ben Khan had thoughts, he was worried that Ning Yuan Yuanmangui would take the opportunity to attack Shenyang, as well as Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town. If General Sun transfers the two away, Ben Khan is willing to follow the proposal of the Tianyuan Dynasty and make peace with each other. Sun Chengzong laughed when he saw the reply, Huang Taiji's proposal was all within the Aobai plan. Not only did he want to withdraw Man Gui and Mao Wenlong, but even Zhao Shujiao had to evacuate, and Huang Taiji's request was still too little. What can be moved forward? Then go to Youtun and Daling River to repair the city and Tuntian so that you can rob it? He will not do the kind of thing that will hurt the people and money, and he will plan at the moment, and write a letter, expressing his willingness to withdraw Man Gui and Mao Wenlong, withdraw all the troops in Dongjiang Town, and half of the troops outside the Guan. It is convenient for the Jin State to attack the DPRK.
This was so convenient, Huang Taiji couldn't believe it when he received the letter. However, this is the case, before the letter was received, Man Gui had already left Ningyuan Yuancheng with a large number of Ming troops. Man Gui returned to Jingyuan City from Shanhaiyuan Pass, and the time was the day before the blind date meeting began. As soon as he returned, he immediately went to face the saint. Ao Bai happened to be in the palace, and the two cheap brothers met. Man Gui had already heard Sun Chengzong say about the worship, and he was very happy to see him, but the emperor was present, and etiquette was indispensable. He saluted the two of them very respectfully and said, "Weichen has seen the emperor and Huang Taifu." "He is more than one meter tall, with a big waist and a round waist, with a strong strength all over his body, and his appearance is not angry but mighty, and he looks like a fierce man.
"Chongzhen" looked at him and said with a smile: "General Man is not more polite, I heard that your senior brother Huang Taifu does not need to be so restrained in speaking. Man Gui is a workaholic, he is not in a hurry to pay homage at all, he first reported some of his situation in Ningyuan, and then asked: "The emperor summoned Weichen to come back from the border pass, do you want to arrange anything for Weichen?" "Chongzhen" said: "It's nothing. It's just Taifu's strategy that must bring you back. Or Mrs. Huang to explain, right? Ao Bai explained to him what he thought. Man Gui is not a reckless man, just a little bit. During the period when the Eight Banners Army went to attack Korea, he returned to Beijing to help the court train elite soldiers. Don't worry about the border affairs for the time being. When the other party went around and was ready to enter the Central Plains, there was naturally a time when he showed his skills.
After finishing the business, Ao Bai smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Shi has never married, and you are in your forties, why don't you do a lifelong event?" "Man Gui didn't want to die when he started a war, which was largely related to the fact that he didn't have a family, and the whole family was alone, without worry. The only goal is to win battles and become a respected general. He said embarrassedly: "I am a Mongolian, the Manchus and Han are not in harmony, and most of the Central Plains are Han people......" "Then are you interested in participating in the blind date party organized in Beijing City tomorrow?" Discord is a thing of the past. My two wives are Mongolians, and one of them is still a sister of the same family, you are a second-class official, and you must be very popular. ”
The Zhu family has an ancestral motto: "No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute; The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. "Many people in later generations said that the Qing Dynasty emperors did not have a bad emperor, and the Ming Dynasty emperors were all bastards. In fact, the people of the Ming Dynasty have always been very ambitious. Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured in Tumubao, and the Ming Dynasty categorically rejected the request of the Mongols for property in exchange for the Emperor Yingzong, and finally the Ming Dynasty set up a new monarch and defeated the Mongols in one fell swoop.
Before Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, he was afraid that Li Zicheng would hurt the innocent surname Baiyuan, so he wrote a desperate poem to him: "I will remove the crown, cover my face with my hair, and let the thief split the corpse, and do not hurt one person with the surname Baiyuan." And Emperor Puyi of Xuantong said: "I don't care how many people the Japanese kill in the Northeast, how much grain and coal they transport, as long as I don't want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I won't be willing." "In terms of temperament, the Ming and Qing dynasties are 108,000 miles apart. However, there are some places where the people of the Ming Dynasty are overly proud. The most obvious is discord. If you choose to be close, you can save a lot of trouble. If the Ming Dynasty was willing to make peace with the Mongols, the princess of the Horqin tribe might not marry the Jurchens. The strength of both sides is obvious. If it weren't for the harmony, the Jin Kingdom would not have developed so fast.
Now Ao Bai is desperate to change this system. Sacrificing blood in order to keep the bloodline pure and increase the flow of blood is pure boredom. In fact, it is better to call the Han people Chinese. The pure Han Dynasty people have long been almost gone. The Han Dynasty passed through the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, and the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the population disappeared too much. Later, the people of the Tang Dynasty were mainly the surviving Han Dynasty and Xianbei people in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Han people who lived abroad in later generations were often called "Tang people" or "Chinese". The settlement is called Tang Piren Street. In the 21st century, there are still a group of people in the Middle Kingdom who call themselves "locust Han" who preach the importance of bloodline, wantonly insult the people of other ethnic groups who are not Han people, and pursue the purity of bloodline, as if only by confirming their bloodline can they have the backbone of their lives, and can they divide people into three, six, and nine classes, so as to show their superiority.
Doing not in harmony is not the integrity of the people, but arrogance. If the Ming Dynasty was more pragmatic, it would not have changed hands as soon as Chongzhen died. In actual combat, backbone cannot conceal the corruption of the government and the incompetence of the military. Man Gui was certainly not interested in Aobai's proposal. However, "Chongzhen" opened Chrysostom and said: "General Man has paid so much for the country and the people, how can he not have a family until now?" Tomorrow we will go together, as long as you have your crush on someone, I am willing to marry you. ”
Only then did Man Gui know that the emperor was also going to join in the fun. Hearing that the emperor was willing to give marriage, he was moved and had a greater sense of belonging to Daming. The day of the blind date meeting has finally arrived. The next day, Ao Bai personally went to Man Gui's residence to invite him. Man Gui has a bold personality, but when he encounters this kind of thing, he can't let go of it. At Aobai's strong request, he finally changed his clothes and went out.
Ao Bai took Madame, Anna, Vieri and a group of others to the Harmony Square. Their group was particularly eye-catching. Sun Hedou and Sun Hejing had already returned to Jingyuan City and also participated in the blind date. The brothers went to Hefu in the morning and asked to go together. It is said that this is to let people know that they are with Aobai, and it is more popular.
And Ao worships the real sister-in-law Yao Xinyan, but the brother-in-law Yao Qiliang is not with them. The two siblings went out early in the morning. Also going out early was "Chongzhen", who brought a few guards and pretended to be an ordinary person who went to the blind date together.
The event was more lively than expected, and the sky was just dawning, and the wide field was already full of people. There are also many small vendors who take this opportunity to do business in Guang Yuanchang, selling tea, drinks, snacks, etc., and the business is booming.
