Chapter 907: Emperor Taiji's Oath (2)
(Thank you for the crazy desert, the rising clouds, Yufei 001, yz200 for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you for the reward who chose to take the middle route without left or right, thank you, and I implore readers to give a recommendation vote.) )
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng for a while.
"Wen Cheng, I want to hear your opinion, I have an idea, this matter, can it be suppressed temporarily, don't mention it, this letter from the Ming Dynasty is from Anning Fort, I can not admit it."
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this cannot be the case, since the Ming Dynasty is ready, then it will definitely think of other ways, through Liaodong, you can also spread the news, and when the time comes, the emperor will not be easy to explain."
Huang Taiji's face was very ugly, concealing the news was actually a way to dodge, there was no way to do it, and it was definitely not a long-term solution, but the purpose of this letter from the Ming Dynasty was to destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
"Wen Cheng, I also know that I can't do this, but I have no choice, Dai Shan is my second brother, why don't I want to redeem the second brother, but in exchange for Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, isn't this going to destroy the foundation of my Great Qing Dynasty, once the Han people of my Great Qing Kingdom have different aspirations, how to maintain the country, what the Manchus can do, I still know it."
Huang Taiji said these words, Fan Wencheng believed, so many years, Fan Wencheng is very clear, Huang Taiji's views and opinions, has long been different from those Manchu nobles, do anything, think of the future of the Qing Dynasty, think of the strength of the Qing Dynasty, even if it is to suppress the power of the Manchu nobles, it is not simple to be able to do this, if it is not for Huang Taiji to adopt a policy of gentleness, treat the Han people well, and unite all nationalities. It is impossible for the Qing Kingdom to have its current situation. Of course, the change of Huang Taiji also takes time, and it is impossible to achieve the goal in a short time, in any case, the Great Qing Kingdom is located in a remote area, and the vast majority of Han people. Still won't take the initiative to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty.
Fan Wencheng didn't speak immediately, he knew that Huang Taiji hadn't finished speaking.
Sure enough, Huang Taiji quickly spoke.
"Wen Cheng, I can't make a choice, if it is exchanged, what will I think of so many Han people in the Qing Kingdom, especially the nearly 100,000 Han troops. Will I flee, or even rebel, because of a Manchurian, I can't make such a decision, and I can't make such a decision. ”
Fan Wencheng sighed secretly, the meaning of Huang Taiji's words was actually to consider agreeing to the exchange, that is, to find the best way out for the exchange. What kind of exchange will not cause turmoil in the Qing Dynasty. At least keep this turmoil down to a minimum, in Huang Taiji's heart, the status of Dai Shan is more important after all.
Huang Taiji has such thoughts, which is also normal, and Fan Wencheng will not find it strange. There is a difference between family members and outsiders, no matter what, even in the eyes of the emperor.
"Wen Cheng, I want to hear what your opinion is. I want to listen to your true thoughts, say whatever comes to mind, and don't have any worries. ”
At this time, Fan Wencheng was going to speak, and he had to say it in as much detail as possible, so as to help Huang Taiji make a decision.
"Your Majesty, the minion has already thought about this matter, and the minion's suggestion is to agree to the exchange."
Huang Taiji nodded, Fan Wencheng said such an opinion, there is nothing remarkable, no matter who it is, I am afraid that he will say such an opinion, after all, it is in the Great Qing Kingdom, if anyone dares to say it and do not exchange opinions, I am afraid that they will be torn to pieces by those Manchurian nobles.
"The slave knows that this is the strategy of the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it is Su Tiancheng's strategy, those pedantic civil and military ministers in the Ming court will not put forward such a plan, the slave also feels that Su Tiancheng is terrible, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, this time Su Tiancheng poked the sore spot of my Great Qing Kingdom."
"Agree to the exchange or disagree to the exchange, between the two opinions, the contradiction caused by the agreement exchange is smaller, and I can think of a way to deal with it for the time being, if I don't agree to the exchange, I'm afraid there will be trouble soon."
"The emperor thought of the disobedience of many Han people and the Han army, the slaves are Han people, if you suddenly hear the emperor make such a decision, it is also uncomfortable, not to mention many Han people and Han army, but the Han people and the Han army can be stabilized, the emperor will take many measures in the future, he will be able to stabilize them, especially the Han army, these Han army, even if they want to return to the Ming Dynasty, the possibility is not large, the Jiangning battalion of the Ming Dynasty is so brave, it will not pay special attention to these Han troops."
"If the emperor does not agree to the exchange, I am afraid that many princes and ministers will soon make trouble, this is the most dangerous, the Eight Banners are the support of my Great Qing Kingdom, and there can be no slightest turmoil, the slave feels that if Prince Li can return to the Great Qing Kingdom, the Zhenghong Banner can also be formed again."
Huang Taiji slowly stood up and looked at Fan Wencheng.
"Wen Cheng, your analysis is very reasonable, but I haven't thought about what to do in order to stabilize the minds of many Han soldiers and the hearts of Han people."
Fan Wencheng did not hesitate and immediately spoke.
"The slave thinks that the emperor should not have such deliberate thoughts, the emperor has done a lot, enveloping the Han people, improving the status of the Han people, suppressing the power of the Manchus, the emperor has done all this, all for the future of the Qing Dynasty, the effect of this is very obvious, the slave believes that the Han people and the Han army of the Great Qing Kingdom are clear about the emperor's thoughts."
"The slave is bold, if the emperor wants to stabilize the Han people and the Han army, the best way is to enter the Central Plains and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, only when that goal is achieved, it is possible to completely subdue the Han people."
Huang Taiji quickly understood what Fan Wencheng meant.
"Wen Cheng, what do you mean, do you still want to use high-pressure means to lead the Han people and the Han army?"
"The minion is not exactly what it means, the emperor can adopt a two-sided strategy, on the one hand, to stabilize the hearts of the Han people and the Han army, on the other hand, to influence Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, so that they voluntarily come forward to exchange, the emperor does not have to make a decision immediately, do not express his position, the slave is willing to do work in the back, let Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi take the initiative to exchange."
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect such a method.
"The slave also thought that the emperor could disagree with Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's request, that is, starting from the stability of the Great Qing Dynasty, the slave believed that as long as the emperor could grasp it, this was an opportunity to unite people's hearts and show the emperor's thirst for talent."
A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face, and he understood what Fan Wencheng meant.
"Wen Cheng, I'll leave this matter to you to handle, with the result, report to me as soon as possible, I can temporarily hold down a few days and wait for your news."
"The slave will definitely do his best to live up to the emperor's expectations."
Watching Fan Wencheng walk out of the Chongzheng Palace, the expression on Huang Taiji's face was a little meaningful, Fan Wencheng is indeed a talent, seeing that it can't be solved, under Fan Wencheng's planning, he thought of a good way, and using this method, you can pay a small price, as for what Fan Wencheng will do in the future, Huang Taiji also understands, but at this time, Huang Taiji also acquiesced to Fan Wencheng's operation.
When Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi entered Fan Wencheng's mansion, they were trembling, and the rumors that appeared in Shenyang, of course, they knew about it, and they couldn't imagine that the Ming Dynasty was ready to use them in exchange for Prince Li's benevolence, if such a thing was true, their fate would be tragic.
Since ancient times, the end of the traitor can not be very good, when the surrender of the Jin, Geng Zhongming monk Kexi is very clear about this, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the Houjin Tartar is a foreign race, the Han people to take refuge in the alien race, it is equivalent to betraying the ancestors, it is equivalent to self-isolation from the family, don't say anything about the soul to return to the hometown, even after death, can not enter the ancestral hall.
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were also prepared for this, in case such a situation occurred, they would rather commit suicide than be captured by the Ming Dynasty, Kong Youde was captured by the Ming Dynasty, and the result was that Ling Chi was executed, even if he died, he would suffer all kinds of crimes.
Fan Wencheng invited them to the mansion, and the two of them naturally came over quickly, the current Qing Kingdom, Fan Wencheng seems to be the leader of the Han people, and he can speak in front of Huang Taiji, the two know very well that Fan Wencheng must have found them, there must be a big matter, and it is very likely that it will involve the exchange.
Fan Wencheng brought the two directly into the study, and said frankly that the letter from the Ming Dynasty was already in the hands of Huang Taiji, and the request was to exchange the two of them for the prince Daishan. Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, their faces were like earth, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't speak for a long time, but in the end, Shang Kexi spoke first, saying that this was fate and it was impossible to disobey.
Geng Zhongming has never expressed his position, speaking of the two people's different situations, Shang Kexi is because his family was captured by Houjin Tatars, and he was forced to surrender to Houjin Tatars, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde took the initiative to take refuge.
Seeing that Geng Zhongming didn't say anything, Fan Wencheng was not in a hurry, and said something slowly, the general meaning, such a thing, it is better to agree, so that the family can still enjoy themselves in Shenyang, Huang Taiji will not forget, of course, Huang Taiji means not to agree to the exchange, but he has considered it for them, if he does not exchange, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi will not be able to gain a foothold in the Qing Dynasty, no matter where they go, they may encounter threats and bullying from the Manchurian nobles, and their families will not be able to live in peace, and they will fall to the bottom of the line. The ending could have been even more tragic.
Fan Wencheng is telling the truth, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi both understand, at this time, the two have no choice, they can only do what Fan Wencheng said.
Fan Wencheng agreed to the two of them later, and if Huang Taiji had no choice but to agree to exchange, the two could choose to commit suicide to avoid being humiliated by the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Fan Wencheng may have made some promises, including the Qing Dynasty treating the two of them well, etc., but the two must do what Fan Wencheng said. (To be continued......)
