Chapter 589: Life is Like a Dream
"Kacha!"
With a dazzling flash of lightning, a huge thunderclap rang out in the sky.
"Winter Thunder!" Shunzhi looked up at the dark and gloomy sky, and said faintly, "Eniang, this is a bad omen, I may have a big disaster this year." ”
The rosary in Bumu Butai's hand paused slightly.
But soon, he continued to chant the Buddhist scriptures as if nothing had happened: "Sariputta, the land of the Buddha ......."
"E-niang!" Shunzhi shouted again in an accentuated tone, but Bumu Butai still ignored it, she couldn't speak, because once she spoke, she was worried that she would not be able to control and reprimand the little emperor.
In a few days, the little emperor of Shunzhi will be 11 years old.
On many things, Shunzhi already has his own opinions.
What she, the queen mother, said, is no longer as effective as before.
If you say it lightly, it's useless, and if you say it seriously, the mother and son will quarrel again.
In order to prevent the relationship between the mother and son from continuing to deteriorate, Bumu Butai could only leave it alone.
Seeing that Bumu Butai ignored him, Shunzhi stomped out of Cining Palace and returned to Qianqing Palace.
Unexpectedly, Sonny and Curb Pilon were actually waiting for him in the Qianqing Palace, and when they saw Shunzhi coming in, Sonny and Curb Pilon quickly snapped their sleeves and knelt on the floor.
"Minion Sony/Suppilon, knock on the master."
"Get up." Shunzhi said a little lazily, "What are you two doing when you two enter the palace in such a heavy rain?" ”
"The slave came to bid farewell to his master." Sonny suddenly wiped away his tears, "Farewell today, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to serve my master again in this life." ”
He couldn't squeeze out his tears, he could only howl.
"Master, the slave has also come to bid you farewell."
"Sony, Suppilon? What's wrong? Shunzhi frowned.
Sonny said with tears in his eyes: "Master, the imperial father regent has made an order, and tomorrow the servants will lead the warriors of the Eight Banners with two yellow flags and two blue flags to the south and garrison in Hebei." ”
Kupilon also said: "The minions will also lead the warriors of the two red flags to Shanhaiguan. ”
Shunzhi frowned and said, "You two were actually transferred to Hebei and Shanhaiguan?" Who commanded the Manchu and Han armies that remained in Gyeonggi? Father, he is so sick now, can he still lead the army? ”
Sonny lowered his head and said, "Master, the Manchu and Han armies in Gyeonggi will be led by Hong Chengchou. ”
"What? Hong Chengchou, you say? The Second Minister? Fu Lin's face instantly fell, "This person is not credible, how can my father be so hasty?" No, I have to stop him. ”
With that, Fu Lin turned around and was about to walk out the door.
Sonny and Suppilon's eyes flashed with joy.
The two of them claimed that it was impossible for the imperial father regent to change his mind, but if the emperor could come forward, there might be a chance to turn around, in short, the military power of the Qing Dynasty could not be handed over to a Han Chen, especially not to Hong Chengchou.
However, Fulin only took one step and then took it back.
Shunzhi suddenly remembered what Bumu Butai had said to him.
Never show your fangs until you don't have enough strength.
Shunji didn't think he had what it took to challenge Dorgon right now.
With the support of Sony and Suppilon, can you really challenge Dorgon?
At that moment, Shunzhi said: "Since this is the will of my father, there must be a reason for him." ”
"In this way, the minions will retire." Sonny and Suppilon finished knocking their heads, and left the Qianqing Palace with a disappointed face, and after leaving the palace, the two sighed at each other.
……
Prince Rui's Mansion Warm Pavilion.
Cao Eryu reported: "Master, Sonny and Curb Pilon have just gone to the Qianqing Palace. ”
Dolgon's hand paused, but soon he continued to bring the medicine bowl to his mouth casually, and drank the bitter liquid that was unbearable to swallow, it was really bitter.
Bitter Dolgon's eyebrows were furrowed.
Cao Eryu hurriedly handed over the hot towel.
Dolgon wiped his mouth with a hot towel and said quietly: "Sonny and Suppilon are important ministers of the Two Yellow Banners, and it is not surprising that they should meet the emperor before leading the army to leave Beijing. ”
"That's what the master said." Cao Eryu said, "It is indeed a slave who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
"You Han people, this is not good, you like party fighting." "No matter what time or circumstance we are in, we never forget to reject dissent." ”
】
"Master Mingjian, this is indeed the inferior nature of the Han people." Cao Eryu agreed.
"In contrast, the Manchus are more united than the Han people, so they can enter the customs and settle the world."
"Settle for the world?" Cao Eryu's words aroused Dolgon's heavy heart, "Cao Eryu, don't put gold on my face, don't talk about the world now, I don't know if I can hold half of the north of the Yellow River, the situation today is really grim, far more severe than you imagined." ”
Cao Eryu is unusually firm: "Master, Nanming's qi has been exhausted, and the Qing Dynasty is the destiny of heaven, so the master doesn't have to worry, as soon as this battle starts, my Qing soldiers will be able to turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in distress. ”
"Dog minion, the mouth is really good at talking."
Dolgon couldn't help but laugh and kicked Cao Eryu.
But when he turned his gaze in the direction of the tide again, Dolgon's face sank again.
Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, I handed over the 120,000 Eight Banners Han Army and 40,000 Green Battalions to you, and also handed over the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty to you, you must not let me down.
……
Hong Chengchou has come to the mouth of the Chaohe River.
Looking at the vast ice surface of the North Sea, Hong Chengchou suddenly felt that life was like a dream.
Six years ago, he led Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Yang Guozhu and other eight towns of general troops, a total of 130,000 troops to reinforce Jinzhou, and encountered the main force of the Qing army led by Huang Taiji in Songshan.
The Battle of Songjin was almost a decisive battle that determined the national fortunes of the Ming and Qing dynasties at that time.
In the end, the Ming army lost the Battle of Songjin, and he Hong Chengchou was also forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and soon after, Zu Dashou also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and three years later the puppet Shun army captured Beijing, and Li Shun replaced the Ming.
If it weren't for Chongzhen's enlightenment at a critical moment, and his temperament suddenly changed, the Ming Dynasty might have perished long ago, right?
However, the world is unpredictable, no one thought that Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain and did not die, but he was enlightened and reborn, and in the next four years, he changed his mind and made all kinds of efforts.
When Hong Chengchou thinks about it now, it's like a dream.
An emperor, can there really be such a big contrast before and after?
He really can't connect Chongzhen's various operations in the past few years with the previous Chongzhen, is this really the same person? Is this really the Chongzhen he is familiar with? Is it?
However, the cruel reality is that whether Thakka believes it or not, it seems that the war of national fortunes between the Ming and Qing dynasties is about to usher in again.
What makes Hong Chengchou feel absurd or ridiculous is that in the battle of national fortune in Songshan six years ago, he Hong Chengchou was the commander of the Ming army, but six years later, in the battle of national fortune that will be staged in Beihai, he became the commander of the Qing army, and the emperor Chongzhen, who was loyal to him before, became his opponent of Hong Chengchou.
What's even more ridiculous is that his official title of Hong Chengchou is still the secretary of the Jiliao Governor's Military Department, and I don't know what Dolgon thinks, so he actually gave him the same official title.
Do you want to sarcastically mock him? Or do you want to spur him on?
It doesn't get much more ridiculous than that.
Hong Chengchou really hopes that this is just a nightmare.
After waking up from the dream, he was still in his mansion in Beijing.
He was still the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty.
"Hong Butang, it's windy outside, let's enter the account first."
Kong Youde's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which also pulled Hong Chengchou's thoughts back to reality.
"Oh, good." Hong Chengchou woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said to Kong Youde, "King Pingnan, please." ”
Although Hong Chengchou's official title is the governor of Jiliao and the secretary of the military department, he does not have a title, so his political status is far inferior to Kong Youde, the king of the county, which is Dolgon's way of checks and balances.
The essence is that the command can be handed over to you Hong Chengchou.
But the military power must be in the hands of Kong Youde.
After entering the account, Hong Chengchou looked at Kong Youde, Wang Fuchen, Xia Longshan and others, and his heart was filled with absurdity again, people are still the same group of people before, but people are not the same group of people before.
"Hong Butang." Another sharp and gloomy voice sounded in Hong Chengchou's ears.
There is no need to look back, Hong Chengchou knows that this is Hou Fangyu's arrival, if Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi are sent by Dolgon to check and balance him, then Hou Fangyu is sent by Dolgon to monitor him, this is a prison army!
Of course, nominally, Hou Fangyu only joined the army, and because he was quite resourceful, he was sent to the army to listen to it.
"Hou joins the army." When Hong Chengchou turned his head, his face was already full of smiles, "I don't know what to say?" ”
"I didn't dare to teach it, but I suddenly thought of a way, maybe I could give it a try." Hou Fangyu said with a sneer, "If you are lucky, you may be able to turn over and let Nanming's hundreds of thousands of troops die in Beihai." ”
"Brush!" Wang Fuchen, Xia Longshan and other generals in the tent looked at it together.
Even Meng Xueli, Feng Guofan, Yuan Fuzhong and other three scholars also showed stunned expressions.
Hundreds of thousands of troops of Nanming were buried in the middle of the hand, this is no longer simple arrogance, it is simply arrogant to the limitless, this is really a toad yawning, such a big breath, you really dare to say it.
Geng Jimao, who was standing in the pile of generals, wanted to take a sip on Hou Fangyu's face.
You eunuch who doesn't have any eggs, do you know how to fight? Dare to talk nonsense?
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and then burst into laughter, and everyone burst into tears.
Hou Fangyu was not angry, he just looked at Hong Chengchou vigorously, waiting for Hong Chengchou's reply.
Hong Chengchou also sneered in his heart, and let hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers die in Beihai between his hands? The tone is really not small.
However, on the surface, Hong Chengchou did not show it at all, but said solemnly: "Please also ask Hou to join the army for advice." ”
