Chapter 560: Three Things About Chen Yan
Beijing City, Chen Yan's mansion.
Chen Yan was almost killed by Lan Tianzheng's shot, and he has been recuperating for the past few days, and he is still bedridden for more than ten days.
Today, Dolgon actually came to Chen Yan's home to visit this meritorious hero who contributed to the city.
Chen Yan was really flattered, the regent personally went to his mansion, struggling to stand up and salute, but was pressed on the bed by Dolgon!
"Master Chen, you are seriously injured, you don't need so many courtesies, please rest in bed."
Dorgon laughed.
"Lord, how can the minister be worthy of you coming in person? What a flattering one! ”
Dolgon smiled and said: "Lord Chen, you are the first hero of our Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains, the merit is in Sheji, so you naturally deserve it, if this king does not come to visit, it will be rude!" ”
The people on the side hurriedly brought a chair for Dolgon and asked Dolgon to sit down.
Dolgon's face straightened, and then he said: "Lord Chen, this king has come to visit, and the other is the injury of Lord Chen, who is concerned; Second, now that the Qing Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, it is natural to rule the world by hanging the arch, but there are few Manchurians and many people in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to rule the world with Manchu ministers alone. ”
Chen Yan hurriedly replied: "The regent has an order, and the minister dares not to do his best?" I don't know, what is the situation in the Gyeonggi area now? ”
Dolgon replied: "Now that the capital has gradually stabilized, Duoduo and Zilharang led the army to advance to the south, Zilharang has entered the territory of Shanxi, and Duoduo is to the south, all the way to Baoding Mansion, but along the way, the resistance continues......"
Chen Yan groaned slightly and replied, "Lord Wang, I have three things to discuss with Lord Wang!" ”
Dolgon raised his eyebrows and asked, "What three things?" ”
Chen Yan said fiercely: "The first thing, that is, the matter of the prince and the prince, the prince needs to deal with this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, after all, Zhu Jie's subordinates have a lot of talented people, once the prince escapes from the snare, when the time comes, he will raise his arms in Nanjing, and the world will respond, the Qing Kingdom wants to be together, but it will be difficult, after all, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty are still thinking about the Ming court!" ”
Dolgon's heart was shocked, he looked at Chen Yan, and hesitated: "If the crown prince Zhu Cihong is executed, I am afraid that it will be easier to arouse the people's resistance......"
Chen Yan asked rhetorically: "Lord Wang, if we don't kill the prince, won't these people resist?" Kill the prince, Nanjing will inevitably support the new monarch, the people of each faction must nominate different candidates, just this support merit, can make their own head break blood, but once the prince runs back, it will be different, these people must support the prince, the name is justified! ”
Dolgon came to his senses, Zhu Cihong, this is the thought of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he is not dead, these people will continue to fight, looking forward to the crown prince's accession to the throne and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!
Dolgon said in a deep voice: "Okay, Lord Chen, this matter will be dealt with by this king, but what about the second matter?" ”
Chen Yan continued: "The second thing, Weichen has been an official in the Southern Dynasty for many years, and even once looked at the government and politics, and is familiar with government affairs, and now the year is approaching, it is the time for the provinces to escort the taxes into Beijing or into the nine sides, if the minister's prediction is good, on this canal, now almost everywhere is the boat transporting silver and grain and grass, this is the tax of the Ming Dynasty for a year, together with the side salary, I am afraid that there will be a small 20 million taels of giant, Lord, we must rob all these taxes into the capital, with these taxes, The Great Qing Kingdom will not worry about the silver of raising soldiers! ”
Yes......
Dolgon exclaimed, Ming year's taxes! This is a big thing, as Chen Yan said, once all these silver, grain and grass are transported to Beijing, it will be a huge help for the Qing Dynasty to unify the country!
"Are you sure all this money and grain and grass are on the way?"
Dorgon asked urgently.
Chen Yan struggled and said: "Lord Wang, if I am not mistaken, all the silver grain and grass in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been shipped now, and even the fastest ones have passed through the Daimyo's Mansion along the canal, and now the only thing to worry about is that Nanjing has ordered to stop transportation, in that case, these silver and grain and grass will not have anything to do with us......"
"Daimyo's Mansion?"
Dolgon's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Yue Le! Immediately pass on my will, let Prince Yu immediately send elite cavalry to abandon the attack on the state capital along the way, go straight to the Daimyo's Mansion, once the Caoyun ships are discovered, all of them will be detained, and they will be sent to the Beijing Division, and Prince Yu will be given a month to take the Daimyo's Mansion! ”
Yue Le on the side agreed, and hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Lord Chen, thank you so much!"
Chen Yan continued: "Regent, this third thing is that Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, has an old relationship with Liu Zeqing, and he can sit in Shandong today and lead the military affairs of a province, largely because of Weichen's promotion of him, Weichen is willing to write a letter to persuade Liu Zeqing to surrender, once Liu Zeqing is willing to surrender, then the whole Shandong will be at your fingertips!" ”
Dorgon was overjoyed, and the streak exclaimed, "Good, good, good!" Lord Chen, as long as Liu Zeqing is willing to surrender and occupy Shandong for this king, this king will make him Jining Hou, and this matter depends on Lord Chen's help! ”
"Wechen is duty-bound!"
Dolgon didn't come in vain this time, originally he just wanted to make a show to the widows of the Ming Dynasty to see, how he was a virtuous corporal, loving the people like a son, but he didn't expect that a rake went down, and he actually dug up a gold ingot, no, it's not a gold ingot, it's a huge treasure!
"Come to the people, pass the decree, Chen Yan has contributed to the country, hard work and high merit, a yellow coat, a royal horse, you can ride into the Forbidden City, reward a thousand taels of gold, Mrs. Qi is a pamper, Chen Yan has two sons under his knees, all of them are worn by the four grades, once there is a shortage of reality, he will go to work immediately!"
Dolgon once again made a big move, a thousand pounds of horse bones, this is not the time to be stingy!
"Chen Chen plays the Lord Longen!"
Chen Yan struggled to get up, Dolgon waved his hand, and then said: "Okay, Lord Chen is not more than saluting, once Liu Zeqing surrenders to the Qing Dynasty and Shandong changes hands, this king will make you the king of Pingnan, in reward for your immortal achievements!" Ha ha! ”
Chen Yan was very excited, he was crowned a king, he was a civil servant, if he could really be crowned a king, it would be a blessing that there was green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and he couldn't cultivate it in ten lifetimes!
"Don't worry, the minister will definitely contribute to this!"
