Chapter 296 Uncover Zheng Zhilong's True Face
Prince Rui’s Mansion in Yanjing.
After receiving the news of Suksaha's defeat, Dorgon quickly summoned people to discuss matters.
The initial anger had long faded. As a smart man and a successful superior, Dorgon quickly abandoned the impact of Suksaha's death on himself. Even though it was really a bit slapping him in the face, Dorgon's majesty could not be shaken by a small Suksaha's death.
Leading the Qing Dynasty into the pass, he now has gained an absolute advantage. Just waiting for Li Zicheng, who is like a dry bone in the tomb, will the Qing Dynasty completely unify the north. What a great achievement this is, how can one Suksaha shake it?
He is thinking more about Zheng Zhilong now!
"What does he want to do?"
"Do you think that the horse army can force me to retreat, or do you want to go against the current and turn the tide?"
The situation of the Northern Expedition was over, Zhu Ming suffered a heavy blow, and the major events in the world were already determined. Zhu Ming would abandon his land interests in exchange for the Qing Dynasty to withdraw his troops, and the two sides continued to maintain peace.
On the one hand, he took this opportunity to win Li Zicheng, and on the other hand, he tried his best to restore his strength.
When the Qing Dynasty took over Li Zicheng, unify the north, and then came to drink the Yangtze River, it was easy to resist the iron hooves of the Qing Dynasty!
This is something that anyone with a discerning eye knows.
The special envoys who went south to Dorgon had already sent to Ajige's army.
But this Zheng Zhilong still had some trouble. Not only did he not return to Denglai quickly, he continued to go west to Dongchang and north to Zhili.
This is not the defeat of Suksaha and Wanduo Green Flag soldiers, but what Zheng Zhilong wants to do.
Fan Wencheng has retreated to the second line, but at this time he was still in Prince Rui's mansion.
But he stroked his chin beard and narrowed his eyes into a slit, just being a mute man.
Dorgon didn't force him, he was already full of wings now. Fan Wencheng became mute and became mute. There were people in the court who were willing to serve him.
Feng Quan spoke out without saying this.
Because Zheng Zhilong's incident was not just about military affairs, the only three thousand cavalry sent to Zhili by Zheng Zhilong were not taken seriously even if they were equipped with guns and cannons. Dorgon is more concerned about Zheng Zhilong's thoughts now. If so, people like Feng Quan will have a great say.
"I think Zheng Zhilong's move is just to invite fame. This man is greedy and rich, mean and violent, notorious among the scholars in the north and south. The only thing that can be held equally is military affairs. He took advantage of our dynasty several times and won him great fame. Now Zhu Ming's Northern Expedition was defeated and his national strength was greatly lost. In the destiny of the Qing Dynasty, the northern country belonged to him was determined. The Southern Dynasties also needed one or two victories to inspire people and stabilize public opinion. Zheng Zhilong was afraid that he had seen this and chose to take off at this time. This was to gain the reputation of righteousness for himself and to reverse his reputation; the second was to show his role to the Emperor Jinling."
After Feng Quan, Fan Yongdou was Fan Yongdou. At this time, Fan Yongdou was already the deputy general manager of the Qing Dynasty's Office of Internal Affairs, which can be said to be "successful and famous".
He himself was also very proud. He was just a merchant, but he was able to use it, giving the Fan family a chance to go further, and he was more loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
"Slaves also have 32 confidants in the southern country, and they also have letters on weekdays. It is said that Zheng Zhilong is determined to seek the throne, not just the Duke. In this battle, the north will defeat the south, and Jinling needs help. As long as Zheng Zhilong can hold on for a while in Qilu, Jinling can earn a lot of benefits from the negotiations. Zheng Zhilong also made great contributions and just asked Emperor Chongzhen for a throne..."
"So you all think that Zheng Zhilong has no intention of Qilu, but just borrowed this to seek benefits?"
Dorgon said hesitantly. He always had a guess in his heart, thinking that Zheng Zhilong would not let go of Zhongyuan easily.
After all, it is the Central Plains, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the world of flowers. Compared with this, what is Nanyang and Luzon are all scumbags.
Perhaps when the Central Plains belonged to the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong would really go overseas to establish a country, break up the territory, and call it a lonely person. But when the Central Plains belonged to the Qing Dynasty, would Zheng Zhilong still go to Nanyang with all his heart?
Ning Wan said 'oh' in my heart, so that's what the Regent was worried about was that Zheng Zhilong looked at the North. He immediately asked himself: Does Zheng Zhilong have such strength?
Although in the tenth year of Tiancong (1636), he was criticized by Liu Shiying and his post was cut off. He was given all his gifts and sent to the Sahalian family as a slave.
Sahalian is the grandson of Lao Nu and the third son of Prince Li Daishan.
In the first year of Chongde, the Wenguan was changed to the Third Inner Court, Xifu, Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian were all Grand Secretary. Ning Wan, I was abolished for my crimes, and I fell behind from the first ranks of civil officials.
In the second year of Shunzhi, the young emperor sat in the Forbidden City before he appointed Ning Wan as a bachelor's student. Later, he was appointed as a grandson of the Neihongwen Academy, supervised the record of Taizong, translated the Three Kingdoms and the Sermon on the Sermon of Hongwu.
It can be said that Ning Wan, I was far away from the political core of the Qing Dynasty for quite some time. Even now, he is not the real senior management of the Qing Dynasty and is not aware of a lot of news. In his eyes, the Zheng family is just the power that Zheng Zhilong showed on the surface.
Of course, the Qing Dynasty didn't know much.
The inside story of the senior official is that except for the figures in the senior Zheng family, few people around him know the strength of the Zheng family.
"The regent is very concerned. Zheng Zhilong holds the world's number one navy in his hand and has an elite land commander of less than 50,000. How could he turn a blind eye to the Central Plains? Zhu Ming was in power earlier, and he took charge of the righteousness and retreated overseas to become a prince in the whole place. Now the Qing Dynasty is the one who controls the northern country. Zheng Zhilong has always been hostile to our dynasty, so how could he not stare at that chair?"
"As for Zhu Ming in Jinling, Yanjing City cannot be kept, and he has fallen into the hands of a group of thieves. His majesty is ruined and his energy is exhausted early. Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate and was born without moral character. How could he be loyal to the children of Chongzhen and remain sincere to the children of Chongzhen?"
It was when the family slaves who had been raised for many years were bullying the master, let alone people like Zheng Zhilong?
Although Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be loyal over the years, as long as he thought about his background, many people in the hall could not help but nod.
"I think that this is a great opportunity to reveal the true face of Zheng thief. This not only cut off the support of Chongzhen's children, but also prompted him to rebel against Zheng thief." Ning Wan, I thought of some news that he saw, such as the Ming army and Zheng army did not cooperate closely in this Northern Expedition. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not express his opinion on Zheng Zhilong, he was actually very suspicious.
"Prince, the child of Chongzhen is extremely suspicious. If there is no wind, there will be three feet of waves. If there is wind, there is no need to say more. In addition, the gentry of the Southern Kingdom shouted and beat Zheng Zhilong and killed him. This matter would be fueled. If Zheng Zhilong caught fire in the backyard, he would be frustrated. That is why he still has ambitions, so what if he does?"
In Ning Wan, as long as Zheng Zhilong's "thoughts" are revealed to the world, the gentlemen and doctors in Jiangnan will be unable to sit still.
Emperor Chongzhen was not without any suspicion about it, and this would only make it heavier. Naturally, the two could not be intimate anymore.
This move was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy of Hong Guoguo. Zheng Zhilong and Emperor Chongzhen could not avoid it at all. Even if it was impossible to immediately call the two to meet each other, it was enough to make Zheng Zhilong feel anxious. In this case, how could he persist in Qilu and even go further?
Emperor Chongzhen was a very doubtful lord.
"Okay, okay, okay. Master Ning can see the bottom of the situation. It is indeed a good time to reveal the true face of Zheng Zhe." Dorgon smiled with satisfaction. His guess was "confirmed", which made him very happy. Not to mention that I came up with a good idea for him after Ning Wan.
This is really a great idea.
Regardless of whether Zheng Zhilong really has ambitions or not, as long as he is promoted like this, he will follow Zheng Zhilong's reputation in the forest of gentlemen, which will not only fuel the fire.
In that case, this is whether it is yellow mud falling into the crotch or shit.
"Okay, okay, very good. Just do that, tell them to bite the dog!"
Dorgon smiled very happily. Since the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Zheng army has made the Qing Dynasty very anxious many times. However, due to regional reasons and the difference between sea and land, the Qing Dynasty could only be beaten and not fight back.
Now I finally found a good solution to rectify Zheng Zhilong.
This is called the haze in Dorgon's heart swept away.
If Zheng Zhilong was restrained by Zhu Ming, it would have really helped him a lot.
However, God was just as he was going to go against Dorgon. Just when he was in high spirits, he was intoxicated by the intoxication, and a secret letter was passed from Baoding to Prince Rui's mansion.
But it was a memorial sent by the people around Haoge, who killed Wang Aoyong.
Dorgon was so angry that he couldn't lift the table.
Wang Aoyong was the first former Ming officials to surrender after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. His role lies not only in his ability, but also in the influence he represents.
This is a flag among the Han officials who surrendered from the Qing Dynasty after entering the pass!
Moreover, Wang Aoyong was still very good at pleading Qilu, Central Plains. But now Haoge wrote a letter saying that he had killed Wang Aoyong.
"This bastard, he is so brave that he dares to kill the court ministers without permission."
Dorgon was trembling all over, but he still pressed his temper to finish reading the secret.
"A common man, a reckless man. Is his mind full of flying? Pigs are smarter than him."
After reading the memorial, Dorgon became even more angry. Haoge actually killed Wang Aoyong for the sake of confidentiality. Did he think Wang Aoyong would offend the Eight Banners for the lives of those followers?
After doing some serious illness in Wang Aoyong's medicine, he was ill. In just a few days, Wang Aoyong died.
In this matter, what Dorgon was most satisfied with was the way Haoge took action in secret, and it was finally bloody. Everyone knew it.
But now Wang Aoyong is dead, and it is too late to say anything. No matter how angry Dorgon is, he cannot deal with Haoge. Instead, he pretends to know nothing and adds the prince's double salary to Haoge.
After all, Haoge stole Zheng Zhilong at a critical moment. Even if the latter advanced westward and northward, it would not delay the Qing Dynasty's major affairs.
Therefore, the Prince of Haoge still needs to be increased by double salary.
