Chapter three hundred and fiftieth chapters do not avoid relatives
(Thanks for the monthly pass for "Nickname already exists 2"!)
Qian Lide watched Tong Yangjia think about the problem, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Now it was almost ten o'clock outside, and Qian Lide couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Qian Lide asked softly: "My father-in-law, what should I do about the matter in Fujian?"
Tong Yangjia was considering who was leading the troops outside, but suddenly heard Qian Lide say what to do in Fujian? Tong Yangjia remembered that Qian Qianyi could develop a Jin Shenghuan, and I could develop a Li Chengdong. If Li Chengdong had anyway, his contribution was not inferior to Qian Qianyi, and who would kill him would not necessarily be the case.
The more Tong Yangjia thought about this idea, the more practical it became. Zhu Hongsan's daughter Zhu Yu was snatched away by Li Chengdong's son Li Yuanyin, and I heard that he got married. Zhu Yu happened to be born to Concubine Dong and was close relative to the third prince. If Li Chengdong could only rely on himself in the court, the third prince would be able to borrow a lot of power by then.
It just so happened that Qian Lide, the spy leader, was in front of him, so why would he ask him how he was? "Son-in-law, why should Jin Shenghuan, Jiangxi be correct?"
Tong Yangjia was confused when asked about Qian Lide. Did he not know how to talk about Fujian? Why did it suddenly become Jiangxi? Since Tong Yangjia asked about Qian Lide, he told Jiangxi all the things.
Tong Yangjia heard that Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty, exploited Jin Shenghuan. Because the two of Jin Kings were defeated, they forced them to pay the money. This made Kings of Jin Shenghuan complain, and then he became concerned about anything.
"Son-in-law, is Zhang Yutian from that place? Why can he serve as the governor of Jiangxi?"
"Zhang Yutian is from Liaodong. I heard that he was the juren who won the imperial examination when Huang Taiji was reign. This naturally belongs to the old man. What are Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren? One is Qiu Ba and one is a bandit, and they are both new subordinates. Naturally, they cannot gain the trust of the Qing Dynasty. It is reasonable to use Zhang Yutian to suppress them."
"Son-in-law, do you know who the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty?"
Qian Lide looked at Tong Yangjia's face and said carefully: "Father-in-law, the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, you and relatives, are Tong Guonai from the Tong family in Liaodong."
Tong Yangjia couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this name. Tong Guonai was Tong Yangjia's clan, Tong Yangxing's nephew and grandchild. If Tong Yangxing hadn't surrendered to Nurhaci, how could his own branch go into exile? His old father, elder brother and sister, younger brother and sister, and the whole family were all taken to Beijing by Chongzhen. If he hadn't seen the opportunity and ran away with his nephew Tong Tuchang, his own father's branch would have been completely exterminated. However, Tong Yangxing ran to the Qing Dynasty and had high officials and generous salaries, and one of his nephews and grandchildren could become a high-ranking official of the governor of Fujian.
This time I knew that Tong Guonai was better in Fujian, and I would like to avenge my new and old grudges together.
Tong Yangjia made up his mind and said, "Son-in-law, you see that the Qing Dynasty has strictly guarded against the new affiliated troops of various provinces. The officials in various places are old people from Liaodong. Jin Shenghuan from Jiangxi was dissatisfied. I feel that Li Chengdong from Fujian should not be satisfied. Do you think this is OK? Let's get in touch with Li Chengdong. If he can learn from Jin Shenghuan anyway, it would be a great achievement. Isn't it done for you to save Princess Yuyang?"
When Qian Lide heard Tong Yangjia say this, he shook his head and said, "My father-in-law's plan doesn't work. Li Chengdong just killed the queen and slaughtered Guangzhou. He can come over anyway. Even if Li Chengdong has this meaning, the emperor may not agree!"
Tong Yangjia slowly shook his head and said, "No, son-in-law, don't look at you who have been with the emperor for many years, you still don't understand him! His Majesty the Emperor is very talented and will never give up this great opportunity for just a daughter!"
Qian Lide thought about Zhu Hongsan's character and felt that Tong Yangjia was right. That guy definitely had milk and was a mother. It was profitable, not to mention a daughter, he could even give up even his own mother.
"My father-in-law, it's easy for us to say this, but who is going to Fujian? This kind of secret is only a confidant! Does Mr. father-in-law have a good candidate?"
"There is one candidate, don't worry about this, but you have to ensure that my people are absolutely safe!"
Qian Lide patted his chest and said, "This is simple. In order to save Princess Yuyang, I have sent three teams of 400 people to Fujian. They cannot save Princess Yuyang. It is absolutely fine to protect one person to retreat safely."
"Son-in-law, you go back and arrange it. I will go to the emperor to report this matter tomorrow. If it becomes a success, we will be a great achievement!"
Qian Lide nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and began preparing for his trip to Fujian tomorrow.
Tong Yangjia watched Qian Lide go out and thought to himself, Tong Yangxing, you betrayed the Ming Dynasty for your own selfish interests, and the Tong clan in Liaodong was exterminated except for your family. This time, you finally had this opportunity. Your nephew fell into my hands, so let me avenge my dead family!
When he went to court the next day, Tong Yangjia did not say this publicly because there are too many factions in the court now. No matter what Tong Yangjia proposed, Ma Mingyuan would definitely object. In addition, Tong Yangjia still reported to the emperor alone in order to protect the safety of the people he sent.
After the court was dispersed, the Prime Ministers began to return to the cabinet office. Tong Yangjia sat in his hut for a while, got up and went to the imperial study room to meet the emperor Zhu Hongsan alone.
Zhu Hongsan was worried about the bank's affairs. The silver coins were still not up to date, and anti-counterfeiting methods were not good. At this time, the small yellow gate outside the door reported that it was Tong Yangjia asking for a meeting.
Isn’t this just scattered court? Why is there something wrong again? Zhu Hongsan asked someone to invite Tong Yangjia in.
"Mr. Tong, is there anything wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I have something I want to report to Your Majesty, but please clear away the idle people and wait!"
Old Tong has a secret to say? Zhu Hongsan waved his hand, and Cao Fang and a few eunuchs in the room went out to wait.
"Mr. Tong, what's the secret?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a plan to get Fujian without bloodshed!"
Zhu Hongsan was stunned. It was a good thing to obtain Fujian without bloodshed. If Fujian falls into his hands, the wealthy Zhejiang East is right in front of him, and it would take a lot of effort to recover Nanjing.
"Oh! Mr. Tong has any tricks, tell me what you want!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yuyang was kidnapped by Li Chengdong and married Li Yuanyin, the son of Li Chengdong?"
Zhu Hongsan snorted coldly, "Hmph! It was that bastard who went out to talk nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the matter in Fujian is on Princess Yuyang!"
Zhu Hongsan is also a smart person. He knew what Tong Yangjia meant and pondered for a moment and said, "It's not good to exchange Zhuyu. We don't know what Li Chengdong's attitude is yet! It's not easy to go to negotiate and make a mistake!"
"Your Majesty, you haven't thought about why Jin Shenghuan from Jiangxi should be correct?"
"Why? Didn't the Qing Dynasty governor oppress him?"
Tong Yangjia nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty was afraid of these new army heads and rats, so they were very careful about them. Jiangxi was defeated by Jin Shenghuan alone, and the Qing Dynasty still didn't believe him so much. I think it was much the same as Li Chengdong who could fight. If we could contact Li Chengdong, I would be sure to convince him anyway!"
After hearing what Tong Yangjia said, Zhu Hongsan thought about it. If Tong Yangjia did what he said, the possibility of a successful plan was very high. However, it was difficult to find candidates to persuade surrender. This person must be able to speak well and not be afraid of death. I don’t know what good candidates Tong Yangjia has.
"Mr. Tong, what you said makes sense, but it is difficult to choose this candidate. Do you have any good candidates?"
Tong Yangjia lowered his head and said, "I already have a candidate, I am my nephew, Tong Tuchang, the Tongzhi of Guangzhou!"
Damn, Old Tong has fought hard, and his nephew can be spared in order to make contributions. But Tong Tuchang is timid and afraid of things, so he may not be able to do it.
"Mr. Tong is very grateful for his country, but Tong Tuchang is really not a good candidate to persuade him to surrender." Zhu Hongsan, facing Tong Yangjia, couldn't say that your nephew was greedy for life and feared death, so he could only mention it tactfully.
Of course, Tong Yangjia knew what his nephew looked like, but Tong Yangjia had no one available. The young ones were not trusted and the trusted ones were in high positions. After thinking about it, Tong Tuchang was the only one who was suitable.
"Your Majesty, the trip to Fujian is not to go to war, but to persuade surrender. It requires people with all kinds of strategies. Tong Tuchang and I have been in exile for many years and have a lot of experience. I believe he can do this successfully."
Zhu Hongsan thought about Tong Tuchang was afraid of death, but Tong Yangjia was right. Tong Tuchang still has the ability, and the Changhua Iron Mine and Zhaoqing military farming were both good, which also shows this. Since Tong Yangjia strongly recommended him to go, let him try it.
"Since Mr. Tong is not evading his relatives, I will agree to send Tong Tuchang to persuade Li Chengdong to surrender!"
Tong Yangjia was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan agreeing and continued, "Your Majesty, what should I do if I give Li Chengdong the reward?"
Zhu Hongsan thought about Li Chengdong killing his wife, capturing his daughter, and giving him a reward? Well, for the sake of his great cause, it would be no longer too late to settle the liquidation after the Northern Expedition was successful.
Zhu Hongsan said: "Jin Shenghuan is the prince of the county, and Li Chengdong also wants to be named the prince of the county. Mr. Tong, you will draft the order. As long as Li Chengdong is correct, he will be named the prince of Jianning, and his son Li Yuanyin is the son-in-law and the prince of the county."
Tong Yangjia was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan's decision. The matter was halfway. As long as Tong Tuchang convinced Li Chengdong, he could immediately suppress Qian Qianyi in the court.
Tong Yangjia finished writing the imperial edict, and after using the seal, he took him out of the palace.
Tong Yangjia immediately asked him to go to Guangzhou Prefecture to invite his nephew Tong Tuchang back when he returned home. He wanted to explain how to do it in Fujian.
It is working hours now, and Tong Tuchang is very busy with work. When he heard his uncle asks him to go home and discuss something important, Tong Tuchang thought something had happened, so he quickly asked for leave from the prefect Yu Shilong and followed his family to Tong's mansion.
After entering the room, he saw Tong Yangjia sitting in the room with a blushing face. It was nothing. Tong Tuchang couldn't help but complain: "Uncle, is there anything wrong? Is there something to do in Guangzhou Prefecture? I have to do it!"
