Chapter 31: Taking over the city defenses

Dolgon was also very surprised to learn that the new emperor in Nanjing was so prickly, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the new emperor saw his intentions?

Looking at He Gongwei and Chen Wanchun lying in front of him, Dolgon frowned, these two people would actually have their lives to come back alive.

This time, they were sent out to give them heads.

One is to issue an edict to increase the momentum and make Nanjing chaotic, and the other is to induce Nanming to cut these two people.

This is a poisonous trick offered by Fan Wencheng, and I have to say that it has to be the Han people who know the Han people best.

If Zhu Cihong really cut down these two people like Hongguang in history, it would be equivalent to completely pushing more of the wavering wall grasses in their hearts to Taqing.

These wall grasses are not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, although they have been cleared, they are still the same for the Tatar Qing, so that they can gather people's hearts and let them have a number in their hearts.

When it really comes to the critical moment, even if he jumps out and shouts such a sentence at the back, he can share a lot of pressure on Jiangnan from the Qing army.

Now it's Dolgon.

Zhu Cihong didn't kill them, and he couldn't kill these two people.

Now that the Qing Dynasty has just entered the Central Plains, the minions in the palace, the generals who command troops outside the country to grab territory, and the civil servants who sit in the local government are all such ministers.

If you cut the two of them, everyone will be in danger.

Dolgon knew very well in his heart that the number of Eight Banners disciples was only tens of thousands?

Relying on the children of the Eight Banners alone, it is impossible to win the world of the Ming Dynasty, and it is necessary to rely on these loyal Ahabs to go out and throw their heads and spill their blood.

But then again, who knows what that fake Zhu Cihong said to them in Nanjing?

If you send them back to pass on military information, knowing that there is a possibility, do you still want to use it?

Then there is only the old way, don't kill, don't use.

To put it simply, it is to transfer those Han people who do not trust the Han people and military forces from the position of commander or with real power, and put them in the local area as idle personnel.

Even if they rebel in the future, they will not be able to make any waves without illness and power, which is also the method that Dorgon has always used.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Dolgon's face, and he said, "He Gongwei, Chen Wanchun, you are coming close. ”

The two glanced at each other, thinking that they were going to get something last time, so they stepped forward one after another and said flatteringly: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent ordered the minions to go to the soup and fire." ”

"You have made meritorious contributions to the Qing Dynasty this time, and this king has done what he says." Dorgon smiled:

"Your affairs, this king is in charge, I will grant you the title of third-class Ashani Hafan, each of you will return to the state capital, relieve the military power, and enjoy the blessings."

Because there were too many traitors who surrendered after entering the customs, it was a bit impossible to seal them, so in the early years of Shunzhi, some lords who specially named these "meritorious heroes" were specially set up.

Asihani Hasan is one of them, and in the Jurchen banner people, he is the benchmark of Mel Zhangjing, and the third-class Asihani Hasan is equivalent to a third-class baron.

has no real power, because there are too many seals, and most of them don't take it seriously.

Some traitors who have made meritorious contributions to the obedience will basically be awarded the title of lord, and then they will be relieved of their positions and return to the state capital for retirement.

The two of them naturally understood what Dorgon's intentions were in doing this, and they were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to refuse, and they didn't even dare to show anything on their faces.

"Slaves obey the order, thank you for the grace of His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Watching the two of them go out one after the other, the smile on Dolgon's face froze, and he asked lightly: "Mr. Fan, what kind of confidence does this Zhu Cihong have to dare to be so tough on Daqing." ”

"Hmph, even his military department is still the secretary of Shi Kefa, and he doesn't dare to have the slightest disobedience to this king!"

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "It's different, that Shi Kefa is bent on uniting me with the Qing Dynasty to pacify the Liukou, which is a delaying tactic." ”

"This fake Zhu Cihong just..."

Fan Wencheng said, and kept shaking his head.

"The regent forgives his sins, and the minions don't know what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd."

"Strange, what is going on in this world, is there anything that Mr. can't understand?" Dorgon was surprised, and then sighed:

"My Qing Dynasty's troops are stretched, otherwise how can this fake emperor survive for a day!"

He Gongwei and Chen Wanchun walked out of the Regent's Mansion and turned the street, only to change their expressions of disdain.

He Gongwei said: "Brother Chen, this Qinggou obviously doesn't trust the two of us, I think there is no future in Daqing." ”

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid that when you get to the place, you will also be constrained by the flag people, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to fight once and fight for a background."

Chen Wanchun's eyes were rolling back and forth in his sockets, and his heart was even more flustered, and he said:

"When I was in Nanjing, I heard that Emperor Shaowu meant that he wanted to take back Shandong? If this is the case, we brothers can make a secret agreement. ”

"If one party can't eat, go to the other party! Recently, I heard that the Nanjing Imperial Court is recruiting generals to return to serve, and Emperor Shaowu and I have abandoned our previous suspicions in Nanjing, why not try? ”

"What Brother Chen said is very much in line with what I think." He Gongwei made up her mind, and Gu Pan said left and right: "This is not the place to talk much, let's find a private room in Cuixiang Building late at night, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Chen Wanchun said: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" ”

......

Dolgon wouldn't have guessed, in fact, Zhu Cihong didn't see it, but knew what the situation was now before he crossed over.

At the beginning of May 1645, Li Zicheng had just died, and all the main forces of the Qing army were still concentrated in the northwest and Dashun and Daxi.

After killing Li Zicheng, he only transferred Duoduo all the way back.

What did you do all the way back?

I didn't come to fight Nanjing, I came to surrender.

Because last year, Taqing only cared about fighting with Li Zicheng, and didn't have time to care about the situation in Shandong and Henan, so he symbolically issued an edict.

This is Zhu Cihong's opportunity, an opportunity to defeat the Qing army and establish prestige, and tell the world that he is different from his predecessor.

This is also the second chance of Nanming in history, and the first opportunity has been lost by Hongguang, that is, when Dashun and the Qing army fought in the northwest last year.

At that time, the victory and defeat were not scored, and it was completely possible to send troops to recover Shandong and Henan, which could be regarded as a response to Dashun's counteroffensive.

According to history, the Qing army under Duoduo's headquarters only went to Shandong to surrender this time, and the elite Jurchen Eight Banners would not exceed 20,000.

The first opportunity has been missed, and I will not let go of this second time!

Just do it, Zhu Cihong called Huang Degong, gathered the subordinates of Qin Wangjun, and personally led the team to Nanjing to change the guard.

The Nanjing City Defense Army is still under the command of Zhao Zhilong, but nominally, there is also a city patrol imperial history Li Zhan, who was demoted from the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, is in charge.

This time, Zhu Cihong wanted to unite the forces of Wenchen and fight back against Zhao Zhilong.

Since the last incident, Li Zhan has been on a par with Zhao Zhilong, but he only has a mouthful, and he must be scolding immortals.

After receiving Zhu Cihong's command, Li Zhan came over very happily.

A group of people rushed to the outer city of Nanjing, and along the way, many people thought that the official army was going to bomb the camp again, and they were afraid to avoid it.

Seeing that it was under the banner of Jingnan Hou Huang Degong, this gradually stabilized.

A thousand commanders of the city defense army were leaning on the edge of the city wall and chatting with his subordinates, when he saw a large group of people coming from a distance, and the leader was still wearing the emperor's regular clothes.

All of a sudden, I realized that something was wrong.
