Chapter 697 The Emperor Can't Even Keep His Ancestral Tomb, Who Still Believes Him?

[Today's third shift is delivered]

"Dolgon"

Zhang Yan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and she firmly locked on the prisoner in front of her.

For the name Dolgon, Zhang Yan is of course familiar with it. Among the slave chieftains who were built, this Dolgon is still very eye-catching. The evaluation of this person by the Ministry of War is that he is resourceful and decisive in killing, and if the Ming army encounters it, he must be heart-to-heart. In Chongzhen's eyes, Dorgon was also a troublesome opponent.

The first and second entry of the Tartars were all in the presence of Dolgon. Wherever this person passed, the local Ming army closed themselves one after another, and did not dare to fight at all. Those who went to war were all wiped out. As a result, each Tartar can return with a full load after the burning, killing and looting. When the Tartars retreated, the Ming troops everywhere, in order to shirk their own guilt, exaggerated one after another, telling how powerful this Dolgon was, so that the court could not notice this person.

The Ming army on the Liaodong front line was also secretive about Dolgon. If Dolgon appeared on the front line in Liaodong, the Ming army in Liaodong would definitely be nervous. In particular, the Ming army in Dongjiang Town has always been under the high pressure of Dolgon, and it is exhausted and exhausted. In the end, Dongjiang Town still couldn't withstand Dolgon's high pressure, and collectively mutinied, becoming a shameful traitor.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhang Yan really couldn't have imagined that Dolgon would have fallen into Zhang Zhun's hands. It's okay to say that he didn't want to be killed, but he was captured alive by Zhang Zhun, which is incredible. When she first learned the news, Zhang Yan was already a little surprised, and now, when she saw the real Dolgon himself, she was even more surprised.

In addition to being surprised, Zhang Yan was a little frustrated and a little unwilling. Why did Zhang Zhun do what Chongzhen couldn't do? Could it be that Zhang Zhun is really more powerful than Chongzhen? Or is it that Zhang Zhun has indeed been favored by God, and his luck is much better than Chongzhen's?

Why is Dolgon in Liaodong and Dongjiang Town, he can be like a fish in water, and he is very powerful. When you get to the land of Shandong, you become a fool? Well, Zhang Yan speculated that Dolgon must have been carried away by the victory, and as a result, he was careless and fell into Zhang Zhun's trap, and as a result, he became a prisoner of the Tiger Army. But, in any case, it was a great feat to be able to capture Dorgon alive

Thinking of the excitement and encouragement of the people of the world about Dolgon being captured alive, Zhang Yan couldn't help but be hit again. This is indeed not a glorious thing for an emperor. If Zhang Zhun is a loyal subordinate of the imperial court, this credit can be passed no matter how you say it. The problem is that Zhang Zhun doesn't buy the account of the imperial court, even if Chongzhen wants to take this credit on himself, he is embarrassed.

The most terrible thing is, when such news comes, what will the people of the world think? What will the civil and military officials think? What would the gentry students think? The wars between the imperial court and the Tartars have always been defeated repeatedly, with heavy losses, lost divisions and lost land, and even some officials of the imperial court themselves have lost confidence. However, the war between the Tiger Army and the Tartars was won in a hundred battles, and the morale was extremely high. Who would they choose in such a situation? Who will it support? As long as Zhang Yan thinks about it, she feels very terrible.

Zhang Shen said solemnly: "Dolgon, this is Empress Yi'an. ”

Dolgon glanced up at Zhang Yan and did not speak.

Chu Bingyan said sternly: "Prisoner, dare to be so arrogant? ”

Dolgon sneered, still a little disdainful.

For the people in the Ming court, Dolgon really didn't pay attention to it at all. In the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom, the people of the Ming court are simply a bunch of waste. Otherwise, it would not have been defeated by the Dajin Army. During the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army dispatched so many men and horses, and the Dajin army only had so many people, and as a result, the Dajin army finally won a complete victory. Dolgon could not find any other words other than to use waste to describe the people of the Ming court. Who would have a bunch of rubbish in reverence?

Look at how many battle victories the Dajin Army has won since its rise? How much land did the Ming Kingdom occupy? Now, the land east of Jinzhou is completely occupied by the Dajin Kingdom, and the Korean and Mongolian steppes are also controlled by the Dajin Kingdom, and even the jade seal of the country has fallen into the hands of the Dajin Kingdom. Purely in terms of military strength, the Dajin Kingdom is fully qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Ming Kingdom, or even better.

However, once the Jianlu is scared and beaten hard, they are so honest that they can't wait to lie on the ground and lick your toes to show their loyalty, and even show the argument of measuring China's national strength and forming the hearts of all nations. In fact, the Dajin Kingdom originally advocated force, and once others had stronger force than them, they were aggrieved. This is the situation now, the Tiger Army beat Dolgon hard, and Dolgon had to be convinced.

The Japanese are like this, if you beat him hard and hurt him, he will be completely honest with you. If you can't beat him, he won't respect you at all. The only way to deal with this kind of person is to be beaten. If you think that adults should have a lot and don't care about them, you will be wrong again and again.

Dolgon's contempt made Zhang Yan feel a deep tingle. One of Jianyu's subordinate prisoners dared to ignore her existence like this. To despise her is to despise Chongzhen and the entire court. What qualifications does a native who came out of the deep mountains and old forests have to despise the court of the Ming Kingdom? However, this is how the other party despises.

Zhang Yan wanted to go up in person and slap Dolgon a few times, but in the end she still didn't have the courage. The battle between the Ming court and the Dajin army was never won by the Ming court, so that the whole court, including the royal family, had a natural fear of the Tartars. Although she knew that Dolgon in front of her no longer had the slightest ability to resist, she still did not have the courage to kill him on the spot.

What's worse is that Zhang Yan is not qualified to dispose of Dolgon. On the territory of the Tiger Army, the only person who can decide the life and death of Dorgon is Zhang Zhun. Zhang Yan obviously didn't think that she could overstep her line and dispose of Dolgon instead of Zhang Zhun, so she could only say coldly: "Take him away"

Zhang Shenyan waved his hand, and someone immediately brought Dolgon down.

From the time Dolgon appeared to the time he left, he never said a word, as if he completely regarded Zhang Yan as transparent. The people next to him all saw this scene with different expressions. This made Zhang Yan feel that there was indeed not much face left in the imperial court. Whether this is in Zhang Zhun's intentional arrangement or not, it is not a good thing.

Zhang Yan said a little stupidly: "This palace doesn't understand, why don't you escort Dolgon to Beijing, sacrifice it to the noon gate, and then publicly behead it to the public?" ”

Zhang Shenyan said euphemistically: "The queen mother, forgive me, Lord Du Du means to exchange Dolgon for Fan Wencheng and others. ”

Zhang Yanhu asked suspiciously: "What is the value of Fan Wencheng?" A Baylor worth the Tartar? ”

Zhang Shenyan said in an orderly manner: "Queen Mother, you may not have enough understanding of the Tartars' ability to drill camps. Weichen has the courage to say that the harm of this traitor is more severe than that of a Tartar. Since the Tartars raised their armies, too many Han Chinese have become shameless traitors, including a large number of court officials. Without these traitors, Jianyu would not have insight into the secrets of our country. ”

"The queen may already know that the gates of Fushun, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and even Guangning City were all opened by traitors. Now, the city gate of Changping has also been opened by traitors. It can be seen that traitors are really the vanguard of the Tartars' invasion of China's interior. Without the cooperation of these traitors, it would definitely not be so easy for the Tartars to break the city. The people have rumored that before the emperor's decree left the Forbidden City, all the spies who built the captives were already known. ”

"Queen Mother, please think about it carefully, if Kong Youde hadn't suddenly killed Shen Shikui, how could the Tartars have a chance to occupy Dongjiang Town? If it weren't for the surrender of the Tartars to the governor of Denglai, how could Dolgon quickly gain a foothold in Dengzhou City? All of this is closely related to traitors. Therefore, the Governor made up his mind to arrest these traitors and kill them with a thousand knives."

When it comes to discussing military affairs in detail, Zhang Yan is not an expert. She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and of course she can't know too much about specific military affairs. She didn't know much about the fine work of Tartar. However, she clearly felt the implicit meaning in Zhang Shen's words. Zhang Shenyan is accusing the people in the court of being unreliable, and some people are spies of Jianyu. Moreover, faintly, there is also a reflection that the imperial court's handling of traitors is too soft, and Zhang Zhun needs to help deal with it.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Why did Lord Zhang say this? ”

Zhang Shenyan said obscurely: "When the queen mother returns to the palace in the future, you might as well ask Dongchang and Jinyiwei to know whether the lower officials are exaggerated." If the traitors are not eliminated, the country will have no peace. ”

Zhang Yan was hit with a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and she felt quite uncomfortable. The original beautiful and glamorous coat of the imperial court was all peeled off when it arrived on the territory of the Tiger Ben Army, revealing the ugliness and shamelessness inside, as if it was a street call Hanako who was about to die. She struggled to stabilize her thoughts, frowned, and said, "Since you want to exchange Fan Wencheng, why don't you exchange it quickly?" ”

Zhang Shenyan said cautiously: "Slave Chief Huang Taiji has not yet agreed. ”

This made Zhang Yan slightly surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Huang Taiji doesn't agree?" He didn't want Dorgon to go back? He doesn't want Dolgon anymore? ”

Zhang Shenyan said cautiously: "The specific situation, Weichen does not know, only the governor knows the details." Weichen estimated that Huang Taiji did not dare to agree to the conditions of the governor. If he agrees, all the Han people in the world will rise up against him. The death day of all traitors is also coming. ”

Zhang Yan frowned and thought for a moment, and finally felt that this sentence did not reflect the meaning of the imperial court, so she slowly put her mind at ease. However, she was still a little puzzled and didn't understand why Zhang Zhun had to hold on to those traitors. Just kill Dolgon, and use it in exchange for what the traitor does? If Dorgon had returned, it would not have been so easy to catch him next time

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the original prefect's yamen in Dengzhou City.

The original most magnificent building in Dengzhou City was the Denglai Governor's Yamen, which was next to the prefect's yamen. It's a pity that when the Tiger Army regained Dengzhou City, the Tartars guarding it were razed to the ground along with the governor's yamen under the roar of the Tiger Army's explosives bag. As a result, the prefect's yamen became the most magnificent building in Dengzhou City.

At this time, in front of the prefect's yamen, there was already a row of gentry, about a hundred people, obviously preparing to welcome Zhang Yan's arrival. This is the first time Zhang Yan has seen so many people after getting off the boat, which makes Zhang Yan's heart a little happier. It seems that the local gentry still welcome their arrival.

However, Zhang Yan soon realized that the eyes of these gentry looking at him were a little complicated, as if it was not as simple as welcoming his arrival. After all, Zhang Yan is a character who has seen strong winds and waves, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, when the gentry came up to salute, the etiquette to Zhang Yan was respectful, but the enthusiasm was completely lacking, and there was no intention of stammering.

Listening to their self-introductions, they turned out to be from Beizhili and other places. As soon as she heard the words Beizhili, Zhang Yan knew that it was not good. The current Beizhili, a piece of wreckage, most of the gentry's property and fields, have been swept by the Tartars, the court did not protect the interests of these people in time, no wonder they have to resent the court. And the damned Tiger Ben Army took advantage of their resentment against the imperial court to take advantage of the weakness. This cunning Zhang Zhun

In fact, these gentry from the north of Zhili appeared here, and they did mean to interrogate the imperial court. If it had been before, of course, they didn't have the courage to ask the court. However, didn't they follow the Tiger Army? Since he followed the Tiger Benjun away, his perception of the imperial court is naturally very poor. Feng Gaoke said bluntly: "Queen Mother, I don't know when the Tartars of Beizhili will end the looting and go out of the customs?" ”

Of course, Zhang Yan can't answer this question head-on. When does the Tartar come out? She didn't know it at all. I'm afraid that Chongzhen can't answer this question. When the Tartars will come out, it depends on the meaning of Huang Taiji, not on the meaning of Chongzhen. There was no way, Zhang Yan had no choice but to say: "Feng Yuanwai, don't be impatient, the court will not forget everyone, you have suffered heavy losses, and the court will definitely take care of it in the future." ”

Feng Gaoke said unabashedly: "It is said that even Gaoyang City, where Sun Chengzong's scholar is located, has been attacked by the Tartars. Scholar Sun is the emperor's teacher, and the court can't protect it, so we, who are going to fight for our lives, are afraid that the court won't care about our life and death at all? ”

Zhang Yan's face suddenly looked ugly.

It's really a pot that can't be opened, and Sun Chengzong's matter has actually been turned out again.

Sun Chengzong's matter really chilled the world's scholars, especially the entire civil and official group, a little chilly. This is something that Zhang Yan can clearly feel. What is the highest honor as a civil servant? Of course, he became an emperor. Being able to become the emperor's teacher means that there is nothing to worry about in this life. As a student emperor, you can't help but take care of your teacher?

Unfortunately, Sun Chengzong's death hit them hard. It turned out that as the emperor's teacher, there would be such an accident. As the emperor's teacher, he also could not get the emperor's safety assurance. Gaoyang City is only a few hundred miles away from Jingshi, and the cavalry can kill it in a day. However, Chongzhen was like this, sitting back and watching Sun Chengzong's killing. Can this not chill the civil service? Sun Chengzong is still like this, if he changes to someone else, I'm afraid he will die faster

However, she couldn't blame Feng Gaoke for being rude. After all, such a question is very normal. The officials and troops of the imperial court did not even defend such an important place as Gaoyang City, and they still expected them to defend other towns? The gentry were also people, and they were equally afraid of the tartars. If the imperial court was unable to expel the Tartars, how could they continue to support the imperial court?

To blame, it seems that it can only be blamed for the ineffective fighting of the officials and troops of the imperial court. If the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can defeat the Tartars and resist the Tartars outside the Great Wall, such a situation will never happen. Unfortunately, the cruel reality proves that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court cannot do this. The situation in Beizhili has even a tendency to become more erosive.

Another gentry saw Zhang Yan's somewhat embarrassed expression, turned his head to look at the people around him, and said in a low voice: "Shh The ancestral grave of the Zhu family can't be saved, can you still manage us? ”

His whispering was indeed very loud, and he really didn't want Zhang Yan to hear it. However, who is Zhang Yan? She's not a simple woman. When she was fighting against Wei Biao, she had already refined her extraordinary hearing, and she was very alert to any disturbances around her. As a result, she did hear this sentence. However, after hearing this sentence, Zhang Yan preferred not to hear it.

Sun Chengzong's death, in fact, was not a big blow to Chongzhen, it was nothing more than a certain loss of reputation, and acting passed. However, the fall of Changping dealt a very big blow to Chongzhen. In fact, the fall of Changping was also a very big blow to Zhang Yan. Because, what is buried in Changping is the mausoleum of the ancestors and ancestors of the past dynasties. Changping was breached, and even Zhang Yan felt bad, and the Tartars could dig up the ancestral grave of the Zhu family at any time.

The emperor can't even keep the mausoleum of his ancestors, what place can he keep? No wonder these gentry took refuge in the Tiger Army. No matter how much the court boasted, no real action came to be real. To put it simply, the gentry are also human beings, and they are also responsible for their own net worth, life, and property. The strength of the Tiger Army is strong, so they naturally take refuge in the Tiger Army.

For a while, Zhang Yan was a little dazed, could it be that the imperial court was really so incompetent? Could it be that all the gentry in the world have to collectively defect to the Tiger Army? The gentry are the foundation of the country, and if even they despair of the court, the days that the court can continue are indeed numbered.
