Chapter 503: Confidants
Zhou Peigong completely fell into the hands of Cheng Xiaolian, regardless of whether he has the intention of surrendering now, Cheng Xiaolian finally felt a little relieved, and when he looked at those who crossed in later generations, everyone was a lot of powerful strategists, and he was good, and the most famous person who had been subdued so far in this era was Sichuan Governor Luo Sen.
Cheng Xiaolian seems to have been fighting with a group of unknown people in history against the most powerful figures of this era, although he has not yet met Wu Sangui and the maturing Kangxi, but most of the four Han generals in Hexi have already fought each other.
Not the process of filial piety is not much cowardice, there is a saying called the times create heroes, maybe these people did not leave a name in history, not because they are not capable enough, but because they were run over by the wheel of history, there is nothing left, like Yang Youcai, there will never be a place for him in the history books, even if this kind of person is caught, it is secretly disposed of, the Ming Dynasty has been dead for 30 years, and there are still people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, doesn't it mean that the rule of the Qing Dynasty is unpopular?
This time he finally caught a Zhou Peigong, which can be regarded as a relief from the regret in his heart, of course, even if he does not surrender, Cheng Xiaolian would rather lock him up and will never let him return to the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Nine years later, Galdan led the people to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and he was immediately appointed as the governor of Shengjing. That is, a white body suddenly became the commander of a provincial military region, if he said that he had no ability, he would not believe it if he killed Cheng Xiaolian.
Of course, Zhou Peigong did not look for death and life, the fat man surnamed Yang had already taken his token from his burden and went to Beijing to pick up his family, and after calming down, he did not plan to commit suicide and martyrdom, he had read poetry and books all his life, why use this rough method to end his life, if he was strategizing, he would beat this Ming army into the dust with his backhand, and catch His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, that is what a man should do.
At this time, Huangfu Tong had already arrived at Xi'an City with people, and the passes around Xi'an City basically did not cause him much trouble, and His Royal Highness was still in Xi'an Mansion, so he couldn't help him step by step, so he used the fastest way to capture those passes, and the price was regardless of casualties.
Tu Hai, who was standing at the head of Xi'an City, looked at the camp of the Northern Sweeping Army and sighed: "We all mistook these traitors of the former Ming Dynasty. β
The adjutant general was stunned when he heard this: "What does the big marshal mean?" β
"Our opponent is not only Wu Sangui, but also this Ming court that has not yet taken shape."
The deputy general asked puzzledly: "The marshal is a little too overestimating them, Wu Sangui's traitorous protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, plus these years of hard work in Yunnan, this is what we have today's situation, these traitors in the former Ming Dynasty, the reason why the camp is so neat is probably because they have incorporated Wang Jiyong's army, Wang ~ auxiliary ministers have led the army for many years, and it is reasonable for Wang Jiyong's camp to be set up like this." β
Tu Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You think of them too simply, even if Wang Jiyong is in the army, if you are the former Ming Emperor, will you hand over the military power to him?" You must know that the person Wang ~ Fuchen is capricious, how good can his son be? The military power was handed over to him, and Shaanxi could become a fief of the Wang family at any time. If he can hand over the military power to Wang Jiyong, this open-mindedness is worth fearing, not to mention that I always feel that it is not Wang Jiyong who leads the army. β
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the spies outside the city to come with the news that the general who led the army opposite was surnamed Huangfu, and as for who it was, I didn't know who it was.
Tu Hai was stunned, although Hai Dongqing's ability to spy on intelligence was first-class, but the eyes of the imperial court were all focused on Wu Sangui, so naturally no one had inquired about the news of these traitors in the former Ming Dynasty, and even many ministers in the court felt that these traitors were just taking advantage of loopholes and finding an opportunity to destroy them in a battle.
"I'll tell you, you should immediately draft a recital for the emperor."
Several of the surrounding staff members hurriedly set up the table, picked up the pen, and listened to Tu Hai say slowly: "The former Ming thief chief is far from the imaginary rabble, if it is not restricted, over time, it will definitely become a big trouble after Wu Sangui." β
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, don't write it." β
The people around were all stunned, and one of the staff members raised his head: "Dashuai, why did you stop?" β
Tu Hai sighed: "It's appropriate for anyone to say this, but I can't say it, if I say so, the ministers of the court will only think that I am making excuses for my own failures, and even find a way to retreat, so as to prevent me from being dismissed from office if I can't fight in the future." β
A staff member stood up: "Dashuai, the slave's words are very unreasonable, but I have to say it." β
Tu Hai was stunned: "Tell me about it." β
"Is the name of the first of the handsome important or the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty important? It's good for the handsome to have a clear conscience, so why care about what others say? β
Tuhai laughed: "The lesson of Boyo is that I did it wrong. He waved his hand: "Keep writing!" β
"The reputation of the minister before his death, and the honor and disgrace after his death are not worth mentioning, but my Qing Dynasty Taizu thirteen pairs of armor raised troops, it is not easy to seize this great river and mountain, if you want the country to be stable, you must get rid of the traitors of the former Ming Dynasty, and the sooner the better, and even the minister dared to say that Wu Sangui is already the sunset, and the traitors of the former Ming Dynasty are the big troubles."
Kangxi listened to the little eunuch next to him read this letter, his face was expressionless, he had read this letter no less than ten times, and now he just asked the little eunuch to read it to the Queen Mother.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi: "Your Majesty, do you think Tuhai is shirking responsibility?" β
Kangxi thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "Tuhai is not such a person. β
"Good! As the emperor, nothing else matters, the important thing is to know people, use the right person, bad things can become good things, use the wrong person, good things can also become bad things. Do you think our strategic focus should be on these remnants of the past? β
Kangxi shook his head again: "Although Tuhai said it very seriously, it was because he didn't know Wu Sangui's situation, originally we trapped Wu Sangui in the two lakes, just waiting for his life, we can be like a bamboo, but now it's different, they took Jiangsu and Zhejiang, half of our money and grain in the Qing Dynasty came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if we lose Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will shake the country's capital, so no matter what, I have to take back Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then make other plans." β
The Empress Dowager nodded: "Your Majesty, you are old, these ideas should have been taken by yourself, you have a point, Tuhai may not be unreasonable, you just need to consider the pros and cons of things on both sides, and then make a decision and stick to it, you have to remember that once you make a choice, you can no longer easily shake it, we are clear, and now we can't afford to toss." β
