Chapter 1210: Why isn't the King of Chu in a hurry?
"Nakado-sama!" Lu Gong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Feng Quan, who was in charge of the negotiation, to suddenly come to such a hand, so that he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
On the way here, Feng Quan was so calm, he only thought that Lord Zhongtang was experienced and had a way to deal with it in his heart, but he didn't think that the way was to surrender on the spot.
This made Lu Gong's face full of consternation, and he couldn't turn around for a while.
His voice brought Wang Yan back to his senses, Wang Yan looked at the two of them and thought for a while, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Take Lu Gong down, take care of it, and don't allow him to contact anyone!" ”
The armor soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward to take Lu Gong out of the frame, and the national letter given to him by Fulin also fell on the hall.
After Lu Gong was dragged out of the main hall, Wang Yan squinted, looked at Lu Gong who was bowing his head for a while, and sneered, "Does Master Feng want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" It's just that this time, don't you think it's a little late? ”
Feng Quan was the first Ming Dynasty member to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, second only to Hong Chengchou in influence, he served as the head of the eunuch party, so he even took many eunuch parties, all defected to the Manchu Qing, and played a huge role in helping the Manchus to quickly occupy the north.
If he had surrendered earlier, he might have been able to atone for his sins, but it was too late to surrender at this time.
Although he surrendered now, it could also play some benefits, and it could delay some time for Wang Yan's deployment, but if Feng Quan couldn't say any tricks, Wang Yan still wanted to kill this old thief.
Feng Quan hurriedly said, "Your Highness's lesson is that the time for the return of the criminal minister is indeed a little late, but the criminal minister is to help His Royal Highness and Daming, and he feels that the identity of the criminal minister still has some effect, so he has been staying in Beijing!" ”
As he spoke, he took a letter from his chest and held it above his head.
When he said this, the ghost believed it, but he was afraid that he felt that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not good, so he wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty.
When Wang Yan saw him holding up the letter, he had doubts in his heart, and listened to the tone of the old thief, as if he had long wanted to do it anyway.
Wang Yan waved his hand for the guards to bring up the letter, he took it and opened it, but it was Wang Ji's letter.
At that moment, Wang Yan couldn't help frowning, it turned out that this Feng Quan, after the recovery of the Southern Capital, secretly provided some information to Zhan Ba through his subordinates, and showed mercy to the secret saucers of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhan Ba died of illness, Wang Ji wanted to plot against Feng Quan in order to obtain information from the center of the Qing court, but he only provided some innocuous intelligence information for the Ming Dynasty.
This guy is very cautious, and has always asked students to show up, and has not directly stated that they want to do it anyway, so the secret agents in Beijing did not report to Wang Yan that they had plotted against such an important person.
It wasn't until recently, when the results of the Central Plains War came out, that he became active, contacted the Hanchen in the city, and the green camp, and was ready to sacrifice the city.
After reading the letter, Wang Yan couldn't help but stare at Feng Quan for a while, as soon as this old fox saw that the Ming Dynasty was up, he had the idea of stepping on two boats, and he had already thought of a way back for himself.
Wang Yan was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Master Feng can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the Lone King will keep your family safe, but the official will not do it, do you have any objections?" ”
At this time, unlike Hong Chengchou, who was cast into an iron man and knelt in front of the filial piety tomb, it would be good to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and he could save his life, where did Feng Quan dare to have any objections, he hurriedly buckled his head, "The sinner has thanked His Highness for not killing him!" ”
Wang Yan nodded, and then spoke: "Next, do you know what to do?" ”
"Sinners dare to speculate that His Highness's army stopped at the Daimyo's Mansion and was waiting for news from North Korea?" Feng Quan raised his head and said with a smile.
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, Feng Quan, an old fox, still had some vision, he didn't say anything, and nodded.
Seeing this, Feng Quan immediately said, "That sinner knows what to do!" ”
Wang Yan listened to the guard next to him and said, "Help Master Feng rearrange the house to live in!" ”
After saying that, he waved them to retreat together, and soon after, Wang Yan summoned You Youlun and instructed him to govern Henan, and then summoned the officials of Xingyuan to prepare for the former Daimyo Mansion to make a move against Beijing.
The Daimyo Mansion used to be the "Beijing" of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a long history, a large population, and abundant products, and it has been a rich place since ancient times.
Its status in Beizhi is second only to Baoding Prefecture, but the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty set off a wave of land enclosure in Hebei, and the people's fields and properties were seized by the banner people, and they were also forced to labor, and most of the population fled, and the Daimyo Mansion had already declined.
Now the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty has been stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion for a month, more than 100,000 people are stationed here, people eat horses and chew, and countless materials are transported every day, which indirectly drives the economy around the Daimyo, making the Daimyo's Mansion active again.
The 100,000 Ming army, divided into three battalions, built a large camp in the east, west and north directions, and the white camp tent surrounded the Daimyo's mansion, making it a military town.
In the early morning, the breeze was blowing, and the big flags in the camp were blowing, and on the school field in the camp, the soldiers who participated in the morning drill were shouting and shaking, which was mixed with whistles and pieces of gunfire from time to time.
In order to prevent the soldiers from slacking off, Wang Yan stipulated that there would be two drills a day, and drills should be carried out every morning and evening, rain or shine.
In addition to the two drills a day, a battalion parade once a month, and an autumn drill of martial arts competitions in each town every year are indispensable, and the drills are only aimed at the soldiers, in order to prevent it from being superficial, Wang Yan stipulated that the generals of all departments must be present at the drill, and the cabinet and the officials of the six departments must attend the autumn drills.
It was the strict drill system that ensured that the combat strength of the Ming army never fell.
At this time, Wang Yan was watching the school drill, but Dai Zhifan, who was standing behind him, approached Wang Fuzhi and asked in a low voice, "Elder Ge, Beijing is at your fingertips right now, and my comrades in the army are asking, what should I do next after taking Beijing?" ”
Wang Fuzhi glanced at him, looked at the school again, and replied in a voice that only Dai Zhifan could hear, "Who asked again, Gao Yigong, Li Guo or Liu Shun?" ”
"It's Gao Yigong, I just received a private message from him a few days ago, and Liu Shun also talked to me about it in private!" After Dai Zhifan finished speaking, he asked again: "What does Elder Ge think about this matter?" And what does His Highness think, does the elder know it? ”
The two of them tacitly didn't mention anything, but everyone understood it in their hearts.
Hearing Gao Yigong's name, Wang Fu was not surprised at all, other forces were not urgent about this matter, and even many people wanted to maintain the current state.
At present, they and Wang Yan are coming together to govern the Ming Dynasty and divide the interests of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yan can only be regarded as a big housekeeper, but if they do that, Wang Yan will stand on the opposite side of them, and if they want to do anything wrong, they will dig Wang Yan's corners and destroy Wang Yan's country, and after Wang Yan becomes the supreme, how to deal with these threats to them, they don't know, so why take the risk to raise a master?
Over the years, the spread of the idea of mind has made many people's minds lively.
Two years ago, Huang Zongxi said, "For the great harm of the world, you are just the king." Later, Tang Zhen, a scholar, said bluntly, "Since Zhou and Qin, all emperors are thieves." ”
The officials and gentry are not ideologically unified on whether to change the current situation, and some people may support it, but those who oppose it and those who have not thought it clearly are estimated to be more.
Shun was completely offended by the Zhu family, making them desperate to change the world.
In particular, Gao Yigong suppressed Tang and Lu made great efforts, so when he saw that Wang Yan was about to recover Beijing, he began to worry about Wang Yan. What does the king of Chu think? There's no movement at all, so what should I do?
Wang Fuzhi was silent for a while, and said after half a sound, "I'm afraid Your Highness doesn't have such thoughts!" ”
No matter what kind of excuse is used in this matter, it is a crime, and it will not be able to retain a good reputation and morality.
In Henan before, Wang Fuzhi's promotion of rewarding meritorious soldiers with land and property was actually paving the way for Wang Yan, first giving benefits to the soldiers and further attracting the army.
Let the big clans and merchants exchange grain for land, which is also to buy off the gentry and obtain their support, as long as the army and the gentry have no opinion, then the matter will come naturally, harming the interests of the people, especially the northern people who have just returned to obedience, it is not too serious a matter.
Wang Fuzhi wanted to use benefits and benefits to dispel the concerns of the army and gentry about the Wang family, and felt that after the Wang family ascended the throne, they would get more benefits, so that they would support the Wang family and do that disgraceful thing.
It's just that Wang Fuzhi didn't expect that his doing so aroused Wang Yan's disgust, which also shows that Wang Yan hasn't thought so deeply for the time being.
However, Wang Fuzhi believed that with Wang Yan's mind, he would soon react.
Dai Zhifan listened to Wang Fuzhi's words and frowned slightly, "If Your Highness doesn't want to, then what should I do?" ”
"This kind of thing, naturally His Highness can't take the initiative to mention it!" Wang Fuzhi waved his hand lightly and ended the topic in a low voice, "It's still early, Mingzhang doesn't have to worry too much, when Beijing takes it and His Royal Highness's prestige is in full swing, it's not too late for us to discuss it." ”
