Chapter 340 Righteous and Spies
You are really brave!
Not to mention other things, even Sun Mingzhe himself knew how much risk he was taking this time. Who didn't know that Prince De "viewed traitors as enemies of bandits" and that he, a Han Chinese and Dorgon's secret envoy, came here?
, maybe even the head can’t be saved.
But, he has to come!
People die for money, and birds die for food.
As a bannerman, Aha, even if he is Dorgon's staff and has joined the Han army, he must have corresponding opportunities if he wants to prosper, but there are so many opportunities to stand out in front of his master.
In fact, it is not that there are no opportunities, some opportunities are just around the corner. In order to make his life more comfortable, and of course for a little thought in his heart, Sun Mingzhe recommended himself to Dorgon and came to Dalian as a messenger.
Not to mention, when he recommended himself, Dorgon was still worried about who to send here. Now, he naturally fell into the prince's eyes.
"The common people meet the prince."
After seeing the prince, Sun Mingzhe did not panic, but bowed respectfully.
Staring at the person in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.
"Sun Mingzhe, since you are Han, but you are willing to be driven by Dorgon, tell me whether you should die!"
These words were filled with murderous intent as soon as they were spoken. If it were an ordinary person, these words would probably scare them into fainting.
But Sun Mingzhe, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was not in a hurry and replied.
"If you are willing to be driven by Dorgon, you will indeed deserve to die, but the villain is not willing to be driven by him!"
Maybe for him, this is indeed an opportunity, but the reason why he chose this opportunity is not just to show his face in front of Dorgon, he also has some thoughts of his own.
After bowing his head again, Sun Mingzhe continued.
"The grass-roots people were born in Shenyang. When the slaves were established in Shenyang, although the grass-roots people were young, they never dared to forget that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty. They have been looking for opportunities to serve the Ming Dynasty over the years. This is why Dorgon recommended himself.
After all, it is also to inform the prince..."
As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. If the Qing Dynasty had been going along with the tide, maybe he would have drifted with the tide.
However, the emperor and the prince's successive tragic defeats made him dare not follow the trend, and of course he didn't want to. He wanted to seize the opportunity, but this opportunity was definitely not to serve the Qing Dynasty, but to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at Sun Mingzhe, Zhu Guoqiang motioned for him to continue.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min serves as an aide in Dorgon's mansion. Although he is not considered to be his confidant, he still has a lot of secrets. As far as Cao Min knows, since Azig was defeated by the Crown Prince last time, Dorgon
Returning to Shenyang, while sending people to win over the various tribes in the grassland, another group of troops went northward. At present, they have reached all the way to the cities of Yaksa, Ukul, Asazin, Duochen, both sides of the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, and up to most of the eastern part of the Baikal Sea.
The area was brought under its jurisdiction. The eight banner system was implemented for the Daur, Ewenki, Oroqen and other tribes, and they were organized into Niulu. The leader of the tribe was Niulu Zhangjing, and they were organized into the Eight Banners of Manchuria. At present, as far as the grassroots know, this time Dole
The purpose of Gon sending troops northward was to capture dozens of Haidong Jurchens, large and small. According to Dorgon and others' estimates, there are no less than a hundred or tens of thousands of Haidong Jurchens, all of whom are incomparable to the tigers and wild Jurchens..."
Sun Mingzhe's report made Zhu Guoqiang raise his eyebrows slightly. Although there was intelligence that Dorgon sent troops north, because there was no one inside, the General's Office just thought that he went north to compete with Huang Taiji for territory, but
Who would have thought that it was actually for the purpose of subduing the Haidong Jurchens, that is, the savage Jurchens.
The Yeren Jurchens are a general term for the scattered Jurchens, and have not formed an alliance group like the Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty literature records include Shengnuzhi, Qilemi, Nuzhiyeren, Beishan Savages, Kuwu,
Jiliemi and others mostly belong to the Jurchen tribe in the East China Sea, but these are only some of the tribes distributed in the lower reaches of the Songhua River and the north of Heilongjiang.
Historically, many clans and tribes living in the area south of Heilongjiang moved south to the Hun River Basin after being conquered by Nurhaqi and Huang Taiji, and later became part of the Manchu people; but they are distributed in the Wusuli River Basin and north of Heilongjiang.
Most of the tribes in other places were not included in the Manchus. Their living range ranged from Yaksa City in the north to Vladivostok and even Kuye Island in the south.
But now, the reality of losing troops and generals one after another made Dorgon choose to go north to subdue the savage Jurchens on the north bank of Heilongjiang and incorporate them into the Eight Banners to increase his strength. But what about Huang Taiji? He is trying to annex North Korea, and even outside the Eight Banners of the Han Army, he has
The "Eight Banners of Korea" were organized.
What a lot of changes this butterfly’s wings have brought!
"... When the grassroots came to visit, they heard reports from messengers that the Donglu even sent troops to build ships and cross the sea to Kuye Island to appease the barbarians on the island. At present, they have no less than 200,000 soldiers and no less than 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers."
The people on Kuye Island were actually recruited to Kuye Island. Aren’t the people on Kuye Island from Ezo? Why don’t you recruit them to Japan...
Maybe, if Japan had not locked down the country, it would be hard to say. Dorgon and Huang Taiji are indeed figures who have left a heavy mark in the history books. Not to mention other things, they just seized the opportunity to find breakthroughs to expand.
The reaction of strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Dorgon conquered the East China Sea Jurchens and even the Yeyi people, and Huang Taiji started the "Eight Banners of Korea", which seemed to make North Korea a part of the Qing Dynasty.
These two people!
It’s not easy!
If they continue this way, history will really change drastically.
Zhu Guoqiang thought silently in his heart and glanced at Sun Mingzhe. No matter what his intentions were, he at least brought a lot of information.
Zhu Guoqiang then carefully asked Sun Mingzhe many things about Dorgon, such as how many troops he has now, his relationship with Huang Taiji, and so on. As Dorgon's staff, even if
Although he was not a core staff member, Sun Mingzhe still brought a large amount of information, and even reported it one by one, including Dorgon's order for Cao Eryu to trial-produce explosive bombs.
"Your Majesty, please be more careful. The common people heard that Cao Eryu has made explosive bombs. If Donglu uses them in the battle formation, it will inevitably cause losses to the army."
Hum, Jiannu absorbed new weapons very quickly! In fact, it has never been slow. The Eight Banners Army has always used blunderbuss and artillery, but they were not used by the Han people. Later, they also had foreign gun teams.
.
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Sun Mingzhe and asked.
"Sun Mingzhe, what purpose does Dorgon want to achieve by sending you here?"
"Trade."
Sun Mingzhe said directly.
"The Crown Prince, Dorgon heard that the Crown Prince was doing business with Huang Taiji and hoped to participate in it. He expressed his willingness to exchange ginseng, fur and money for some things from the Crown Prince."
As expected, these two families are from the same family, and there is no way to hide secrets from the other party!
Trade.
If the news about Dalian's trade with the slave builders comes out, will he, like Mao Wenlong, be accused of "colluding with the slave builders"?
With a sneer in his heart, Zhu Guoqiang asked some other questions, and then said to Sun Mingzhe.
"It's rare that you are still loyal and loyal even though you are in Cao Ying. If all the survivors who fell into the hands of the slaves were like you, why worry about the unrest in the East. In the future, you must pay attention to your own safety when you are in Dorgon. As for trade,
I will consider this matter, but don’t worry, since you took the risk to report the news, I will definitely not let you return empty-handed."
It doesn't matter whether Sun Mingzhe really has Ming's intentions or just wants to act as a "double-faced agent". Even a "double-sided agent" has his uses, especially at this time, when he is facing Dorgon
They basically know nothing about it. Even if there is a double agent, they can still use it. At least they can get some information. Having information is better than having no money.
After glancing at him, Zhu Guoqiang thought for a moment and then said:
Chapter completed!
