Chapter 600

Facing Wu Sangui's inquiry, all the generals present were silent, no one expressed approval, and no one came out to object.To be honest, Wu Sangui was most worried about this situation.Because whether it is support or opposition, at least there is an attitude, and if you keep silent, it means that the people below have already had some ideas that you can't tell yourself.

Wu Sangui naturally didn't want to be the general who was abandoned by his subordinates on the battlefield, so he could only lower his figure and say to the crowd: "I don't want you to obey Prince Yu's orders, but I want to hear your opinions on Prince Yu's orders. In this way, Yang Shen, you first talk about your opinion, and then talk about it one by one."

Yang Shen really didn't want to express his opinion, God knows what Wu Sangui was thinking?As far as normal people are concerned, at this time, they should have contacted the South and then stabbed Beijing in the back. If they have not corrected themselves at this time, should they wait for the Shun army to approach the city before changing their flags?It's not that you can't take advantage of the heat even if you eat shit.

But since Wu Sangui named his name, he could only get up and say a few words. After standing there hesitating for a few breaths, he finally said: "I feel that this war is actually similar to doing business. Seek profits or seek a lot of profits.

In the past, the reason why we voted for Manren instead of Dashun was because the price offered by Emperor Yongchang was too low, while the price offered by Manren was high.What's more, the Manchus were obviously superior to the Shunjun in terms of military force back then. We stood on the side of the Manchus as icing on the cake. We could get more benefits without spending much effort. Of course we had to support the Manchus.

But today is not three years ago, now Dashun's force is slightly better than the Manchus, the defeat of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's two divisions in the Shandong battle is the best proof.More importantly, Dashun now controls the land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. If the two sides fight, the victory will probably be on Dashun's side, not on the Manchu side.

The emperor's uncle, the regent, said: The Manchurian armored soldiers are the foundation of the country.Therefore, the Eight Banners grants land for each Ding, and each Ding grants 30 mu of land.Those who are approved as servants will be paid additionally.For the forwards of the Eight Banners, the Hujun, the leader, and the cavalry, each soldier will be paid 2 liang of silver per month, and 1 liang of craftsman will be paid. Additional rations will be given during the expedition: each soldier will be given 6 liang of silver per month, 8.3 ounces of rice per day, horses 2 bundles of grass, 5 liters of material.

However, since the second year of Shunzhi, the soldiers' monthly rations were only 4 taels, and in the second half of last year it dropped to 2 taels. Right now, the daily rice grains are distributed at a [-]% discount.It can be seen from this that the financial resources of the Qing Dynasty have been exhausted, and even the so-called fundamental Manchurian soldiers of the country cannot guarantee their treatment.What the regent can guarantee is nothing more than enclosing land and granting land.

It's just that the more the land is enclosed, the less the country's wealth will decrease, and the more the army can't afford it. Isn't this a vicious circle? "

Yang Shen paused at this point, looked at the faces of Wu Sangui and his colleagues, and found that everyone nodded slightly, obviously listening to his words, and then continued: "The territory of the Manchus in the customs is a total of It’s so big, the place given to the prince is not small now. Although the land outside the pass is vast, it is impossible for the Manchus to let us go out and stand in front of the Shun army. Therefore, we have to fight for the Manchus. How much is the benefit.

So what about standing on Dashun's side instead?Although Emperor Yongchang unified the north and south of the river, the scale of the rebel army he came from was actually not large. Therefore, once the whole country was unified, generals would inevitably be needed to guard the Quartet.We don't want any good places, just going back to Jinzhou outside the pass or the area around Hedong is enough for us to enjoy ourselves.

If we can defeat the Manchus inside the pass, then we will not be able to find even tougher enemies in the vast wilderness outside the pass.Isn't this a lucrative deal? "

At first Yang Shen was just talking casually, but he became excited as he talked, because he felt that his deduction was indeed very clever.Military leaders like them will not be 100% trusted whether they are on the side of the Manchus or Dashun, so the best ending is to establish an independent town in the frontier, obey the central government to get military pay, and live in the vast expanse of land. The frontier is happy and happy, and no one can control it.

Yu Yongshou, Zhang Jian, Chen Junji, Wu Zhimao and other generals nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Yang Shen said made sense.After Yang Shen sat down, no general could say more insightful words than him, either advocating to wait and see, or supporting Yang Shen. Wu Sangui listened patiently, and realized that he would continue to follow the Manchus. There is not even a single general.

Although he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also took it for granted.After all, although the Manchu gave him a piece of land, it was not enough to support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so everyone felt very dissatisfied.It's just that the only one around them who can fight well is their friendly army Sanshun Wang, and this is stopped by the Manchus. Naturally, everyone feels that following the Manchus has no future.

Isn't everyone joining the army just to get promoted and make a fortune?If you follow the Manchus and get rich as an official, everyone will naturally not have any opinions.But if you follow the Manchu people to endure hardships and be angry, everyone is not crazy because they want to be slaves.

Just like what he just eavesdropped on everyone's conversation under the high platform, these generals can't get much benefit from the Manchu side, but they still have the benefit of making money from Dashun's side. Such a comparison is of course an investment. Shun is more popular.

Although the subordinates have expressed their intentions, Wu Sangui still did not express his opinion on the spot. After all, he and Li Zicheng had a hatred for taking his wife, and he even stabbed Li Zicheng in the back once. There was a lack of mutual trust between everyone.

It's just that when Wu Sangui hesitated and didn't know what to do, trouble found him.Li Zicheng came to Zhengzhou from Guide with great fanfare, and asked him to cross the Yellow River to meet him in person.This is undoubtedly a way to force a statement, but Wu Sangui did not dare to refuse immediately, because it is said that Li Zicheng brought several divisions with him when he came to Zhengzhou this time. He doubted that if he refused, Li Zicheng would regard himself as a target of attack. .

After thinking for a long time, he asked Yang Shen to accompany his younger brother Wu Sanmei across the river to meet Li Zicheng.At this time, Li Youzheng in Zhengzhou City worriedly said to Li Zicheng: "We are only accompanied by a brigade of thousands of people, and now we are coming under the banner of three divisions. If Wu Sangui sees it through, can he still surrender us?"

Li Zicheng said disapprovingly: "If you don't surrender, you won't surrender. Does he still dare to fight? Right now, we need to use power to suppress people so that he can't think too much. If he is given a chance, he will think about it. If it’s not good, he won’t agree. By the way, Luo Luohong, Hauge hasn’t thought about it yet?”

Standing by the side, Yue Tuozi, who was completely dressed as a Han Chinese, said to Li Zicheng at the moment, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Hauge is just like this, and he will soften when it comes to major issues, but this matter can't be helped." Him. Even if he doesn't want to do it, those subordinates under him will not let go of such an opportunity.

There was no enmity between the Manchus and Dashun. It was the two white banner kings who brought swordsmen to each other for their own selfishness.Now Azige is in Xuanfu, Duoduo is in Dezhou, and only Dorgon is left in the capital.

As long as Wu Sangui gets out of the way, let Haoge go back and gather the loyal men of the Zhenglan Banner and the Lianghong Banner, take down Dorgon, the culprit, and then unite with the Two Yellow Banners and the Xianglan Banner to control Beijing and preside over the struggle with Dashun. If peace is negotiated, then peace between the two countries can be expected.For Hauge, this matter is completely beneficial and harmless, and I don't even understand why he is still hesitating. "

Li Zicheng nodded, and asked Luo Luohong: "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that your grandfather Daishan will really stand by Hauge's side?"

Luo Luohong hurriedly said: "The grandfather of the minister has long been old and unable to manage affairs. The affairs of the banner are managed by a few generals. In recent years, the two red flags have been oppressed by the two white flags, and there are many grievances below. It can be said that they were moved to stand on Hauge's side."

Li Zicheng thought for a while and said: "In fact, it's better to persuade Wu Sangui to turn against the water. As long as his soldiers and horses rush directly to the outside of Beijing, Dorgon will not be able to make a comeback. Forget it, wait until he sends someone over." ..."

Li You glanced at Luo Luohong, who was circling around Li Zicheng, and shook his head in his heart. He originally thought that everyone was a good man who would rather bend than bend, but he didn't know that there were such masters of intrigue and trickery.However, it is also a good thing to be able to end the war one day earlier. Once the Dorgon brothers are gone, what strength will the Manchus have to resist the attack of the Zhushun army?

Just when Li Zicheng put all his energy on Hauge's return to Beijing to carry out the coup, some changes took place in Yunnan.Since Li Laiheng and Zhang Kewang jointly launched the camping system in Yunnan, Mu's Xuntian in Yunnan has been rapidly reduced from more than 2 hectares to 700 hectares. It can be said that during the autumn harvest of that year, the public grain was piled up in the warehouse, which solved the military ration problem of the Daxi Army. .

Afterwards, Li Laiheng further rectified the military farms occupied by the tyrants in the Yunnan Guards. Except for some of the land that was reserved for the army, the other fields were converted to civilian land. The chieftain became a military officer, so the official power in Yunnan was consolidated, and the prestige of the central government was stronger than before the Shadingzhou rebellion.

In February of the fifth year of Yongchang, Li Dingguo conquered Ami Prefecture, and Sha Dingzhou retreated to Mengzi, his old nest, with the remnants of his troops. In the end, he lost again and again. At the end of February, Sha Dingzhou retreated to Ergelong Laozhai again. Potential.

But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong was unwilling to be lonely, and sent people to Kunming many times to communicate with Zhang Kewang, expressing that he would come to Yunnan for inspection. In fact, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to move the home of the Great Western Army to Kunming, which has a more geographical advantage.Zhang Kewang really didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to come over, because he already regarded Yunnan as his territory, so he kept emphasizing the chaotic situation in Yunnan.

It's just that Zhang Kewang can't guess Zhang Xianzhong's intentions now. Hearing Zhang Kewang's refusal, Zhang Xianzhong asked Zhang Kewang to return to Sichuan and let Li Dingguo take over as the coach of the Daxi Army in Yunnan.This was obviously a dangerous signal. Zhang Kewang was frightened. He immediately ran to discuss with Li Laiheng, expressing his willingness to surrender to Emperor Dashun and asking him to help him get rid of Li Dingguo.

Chapter 601 The Second World

Li Laiheng was taken aback by Zhang Kewang's sudden request.It wasn't until he finished listening to Zhang Kewang's explanation that he got up and walked back and forth in the room to think.

Under Zhang Kewang's nervous gaze, Li Laiheng finally stopped, turned his head and said to Zhang Kewang: "I think it is a bad idea to deal with Zhang Dingguo, it will only make the Great Western Army think that we are going to cross the river and demolish the bridge, I am afraid that the people below you will If you vote for Li Dingguo, then Yunnan will be in chaos immediately. I can't bear this responsibility."

Zhang Kewang could only plead to Li Laiheng: "I sincerely want to be loyal to His Majesty, if I have a half-worded lie, I will be struck by lightning to death when I go out..."

Seeing this, Li Laiheng also comforted him: "General Zhang was joking, we have worked together for more than a year, and I know you well. I'm not saying I won't help you, but Zhang Dingguo is going ahead to suppress Dingzhou. , we cut off its food and grass to attack its backside, this can’t be done. If I do such a thing, His Majesty must arrest me and chop me up.”

Zhang Kewang looked at Li Laiheng with some doubts. He didn't know whether the other party's words were prevaricating himself or telling the truth.Li Laiheng seemed to have seen Zhang Kewang's thoughts, so he explained: "We are the government now, not thieves. The government has to follow the rules. If we don't follow the rules, who will trust the government? If no one believes in the government, then we will fight with Daming." Similarly, the subordinates are all military leaders doing their own things, can this still be called a country? The rules established by His Majesty, I just broke them, can Your Majesty not use my head to maintain the rules? "

Zhang Kewang opened his mouth, but finally changed his mind and asked, "Didn't General Li say he could help me? What are you going to do with me?"

After thinking for a while, Li Laiheng said: "Two ways, one is the 36 plan is the best plan, I will send you to Yangzhou, Daxi King will have nothing to do with you, then I will ask His Majesty to come forward and send your family Get it from King Daxi, so that both parties can make a concession and save face, and King Daxi will never embarrass your family again."

After Zhang Kewang was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "My adoptive father has been moody these past few years. I can't trust him. Besides, the following brothers have been with me for so many years. It would be too shameless to abandon them and go on their own. This way I can't go."

Li Laiheng thought for a while and then said: "If you can't accept this path, General Zhang, then the other path will be more troublesome. In fact, many people under King Daxi have complained to His Majesty, saying that King Daxi is cruel and easy to kill. He regards the king's law as nothing. His Majesty has always wanted to invite King Daxi to Yangzhou to have a good talk, and to change his behavior, but he has never found a chance. If General Zhang can persuade King Daxi to go to Yangzhou to meet His Majesty, Then I think you don't have to worry about anything."

Zhang Kewang hesitated for a moment, then asked softly: "Who wants to invite foster father to Yangzhou?"

Li Laiheng looked at Zhang Kewang several times before he said: "Daxi Left Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin, he also hopes that Daxi Wang can receive some teachings from His Majesty."

Zhang Kewang pondered for a long time before he clapped his hands and said: "If Wang Zhaolin is willing to make a move, then he can ask his adoptive father to go out of the city to worship Marquis Wu, and then take the opportunity to invite his adoptive father to Hanzhong. I can write to Zhang Wenxiu and persuade him to stop Zhang Nengqi. Then there will be no obstacles in the way."

Li Laiheng just asked: "Can General Zhang Wenxiu listen to you?"

Zhang Kewang said: "The foster father loves the fourth brother Zhang Nengqi the most in the past two years, and he is very mean to the third child. It's not that he was asked to kill the foster father, but he was just asking the foster father to go to Yangzhou to meet His Majesty. The third child will definitely acquiesce Yes. I only hope that when the adoptive father arrives in Yangzhou, His Majesty will treat him with grace, then we sons will feel better."

Li Laiheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has always been generous, and he will definitely not treat King Daxi badly. If King Daxi hadn't acted so outrageously in the past few years, Your Majesty would not have thought of meeting King Daxi and having a heart-to-heart talk with him..."

Zhang Kewang and Li Laiheng were nervously planning how to invite Zhang Xianzhong to Yangzhou. Here, the Qinghai Heshuo Special Forces finally launched an attack on the Han settlement in Xila Tala.The name of Xila Tala in later generations is Shandan Racecourse. Not to mention the abundance of water and grass here, it has already penetrated into the interior of the Hexi Corridor.

The Heshuote Mongolian Department asked to enter Xilatala to graze before, but it was already uneasy and kind.In order to prevent the Mongols from cutting off the Hexi Corridor, Wang Yongji naturally rejected this impolite request and built several Han Chinese villages on the edge of Xilatala.It's just that Wang Yongji didn't expect that these Mongols were so courageous, and after being rejected by him, they adopted the method of force invasion.

For the Heshuote Mongolian tribe, they only know that the capital of the Han people has been occupied by the Manchus, and it has not been recaptured until now. If there is no strength to protect Qinghai, Gansu and other places, then these places should naturally be managed by more powerful people.

Moreover, the Heshuo Special Department also found out clearly that the governor of Hami of the Yarkand Khanate, Saiyit Babai, sent three sons Touluntai, the governor of Hami and Zhuohazi, the governor of the left, Temibra, Tashlan, Turpan leader Hashkega and other generals led [-] troops to attack Jiayuguan, and got the support of the Hui people in the pass.

The reason why Seyit Babai dared to take the risk of sending people to attack the pass was also persuaded by the Manchurians.At this time, the Heshuote Mongolia and the Yarkand Khanate did not know what the battle in the Central Plains was like. They only heard that the Manchus occupied Beijing and the situation was very good. Now the Manchus invited them to fight the Han people to share the benefits. , everyone will be skeptical.

The other is that when the Ming Dynasty was strong in the past, frontier trade was always strictly controlled, and trade was more like a reward than an exchange.But in the current Dashun, it seems that as long as there is a business to do, they can do any business. Except for the arms business, there are almost no restrictions.This gave the people here an illusion that this Dashun really didn't seem to be very strong, because they didn't even control trade.

Facing the simultaneous rebellion of the Yarkand Khanate and Heshuot Mongolia, Wang Yongji asked Xi'an for help, while defending Lanzhou, Xining and Gongchang. As long as these three places are still in the hands of Dashun, the foundation of Gansu will be saved.

Xi'an sent a letter to Li Zicheng in Zhengzhou, telling him that when there was a problem in the northwest, Li Zicheng didn't care about the problem in the west at this time. He was planning to take a risk and give the Manchus a deep memory.

Although Luo Luohong proposed to let Hauge return to the capital to organize a coup, Li Zicheng felt that he still had a say when it came to how to organize a coup. A coup d'état happened, and the place that could not be taken after four rounds of encirclement and suppression was taken down after a reorganization election, which shows the power of the enemy's internal coup d'état.

The first thing that matters in a coup is naturally money.After all, people who have abandoned their ideals generally love silver and gold.So Li Zicheng generously provided 300 million taels of funds for the coup d'état, which surprised Hauge several times and refused.It's not that Hauge bites his hand because he thinks too much money, but it's really hard for him to sign this IOU.

300 million taels of loan, 95% discount, 4% annual interest, no repayment of principal for the first five years, and repayment of principal and interest in installments for the next 25 years, payment in March and October every year, and penalty interest if exceeded.Haug felt that the bank lost 3 taels before getting the money, and the bank was too black-hearted.

However, Luo Luohong, who works as an intermediary for the bank, persuaded Haoge: "These days, there are not many people who can lend you money to avenge you. Think about it, if you fail, all the money will be wasted." , This is not a question of earning 15 taels, but a loss of 285 million taels. If there is no guarantee from His Majesty, who do you think can lend you 300 million taels? I guess you will not even be able to receive 3000 taels."

Hao Ge looked at Luo Luohong vigilantly and said, "They all said that you charge 1% commission for this loan, is there such a thing?"

Luo Luohong immediately swore that he never got a 1% commission, because he received a 1.2% commission. Of course, there is no need to let Hauge know about such things.One good thing about Dashun is that the Emperor Yongchang did not stop everyone from making money, as long as it was not robbed from the treasury.Although Jiangnan is prosperous and charming, it is still difficult for the poor to live, so it is not unusual for Luo Luohong to lend money to the Manchus for the bank.

Hauge once wanted Luo Luohong to also sign the IOU, and he wanted to share the blessings and hardships with Luo Luohong.However, Luo Luohong disagreed desperately. He felt that there were already enough people fighting for the position of Emperor Qing, and he was determined not to get involved in such troubles.

After all, Hauge couldn't hold back his greed and signed the IOU.He originally thought that he could at least bring a mountain of gold back to Beijing, and then use silver to smash those Eight Banners generals to the ground.It was only after signing that I realized that what was given was not cash, but pieces of paper.

What annoyed Haug the most was that even such a stack of papers could not be taken to his home.Because just after the loan was signed, he paid 10 taels of armed fees first, that is, he brought the soldiers who went south and some Manchus captured by the Shun army. There were about 200 riders. These people's arms and horses were from the Shun army. prepare.

And this is not over yet, after talking with Wu Sangui for a long time, the Pingxi King agreed to step aside, and also agreed to lend Haoge 800 Jingqi, but he would charge 30 taels of passage fee, and the soldiers' remuneration would be calculated separately.So Hauge was surprised to find that he had already spent 60 taels before crossing the Yellow River.

On March 3, Hauge finally left Zhengzhou, accompanied by 1 riders. Soon after crossing the river, someone came and took them to Weihui Mansion.In Weihui Mansion, Wu Sangui did not come out to meet them, but asked Yang Kun to hand over the promised 200 cavalry to Hauge.In this way, Hauge also had nearly a thousand cavalry in his hands, which finally made him feel at ease.

It is about thousands of miles from the Yellow River to the capital. Originally, Wu Sangui's people were not allowed to enter the capital, but Hauge is a pure Manchu, and he also brought all the guards with him when he ran from Datong.This means that as long as the officers and soldiers along the way do not check the cavalry, no one will dare to mess with them...

Chapter 602 Changes in Beijing One

There is a large-scale manor at the foot of Fragrant Hills in the western suburbs of Beijing. This is the manor of Daishan, the highest-ranking Manchu prince.This Zhuangzi was originally a village, but after the Manchus entered the customs, they were encircled and occupied, and finally distributed to Prince Li for renovation, so it became a large Zhuangzi now covering hundreds of acres.

Compared with the cramped houses in the city, Dazhuangzi with mountains and rivers at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain is naturally more breathable, so after the renovation of the manor is almost complete, Daishan almost nests at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and never enters the city under the pretext of recovering from illness.

Seeing Daishan's posture of fading out of the central pension, Dorgon will naturally no longer be aggressive. After all, the strength gap between him and Daishan is not enough to play with each other at will, so it is also a good idea to tolerate the other party's retirement at home. A compromise that benefits both parties.

And Daishan is really abiding by the rules. When the Azignan expedition failed, all the banners wanted to find Daishan to reprimand the Dorgon brothers, but Daishan also stayed behind closed doors, thus winning more trust from Dorgon.

Early in the morning on the ninth day of March, Prince Li's servants were cleaning the open space in front of the villa according to the rules, and they felt an earthquake. It's one of our own.Therefore, the old slave who swept the floor cursed a few times, complaining about who led the soldiers, and dared to go straight to Prince Li's Zhuangzi like that.

Before the old slave finished speaking, more than a hundred knights appeared on the loess road outside the village. The guards guarding Zhuangzi finally became nervous, because according to the etiquette, the sentry box three miles away should stop the cavalry. Only a few people are allowed to come.In this way, a large group of cavalry ran over, looking like they were coming to raid the house.

The servants sweeping the floor flew back to Zhuangzi, and the guards who guarded the gate also began to close the gate, leaving only a few people outside to observe the situation.However, at this time, several knights broke away from the group and rushed over at an accelerated speed. The leading one yelled at the guard guarding the gate: "Mang Jitu, open the gate."

When the gatekeeper Zuo Ling saw the knight on horseback, he subconsciously bent down and greeted him: "Mang Jitu has seen the master."

But he didn't realize until after saluting, didn't this master surrender?When he was hesitating, Luo Luohong yelled impatiently: "Don't engage in so many red tapes, Han people don't have so much etiquette. Open the door now, I want to go in and see Mafa, Mafa got up, right?"

Mang Jitu's heart suddenly jumped, and he couldn't turn his head around, so he had to prevaricate first: "Please wait a moment, master, I will go in and ask the old master."

Luo Luohong was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and he said in a drawn-out tone and coldly: "Are you still wearing the red flag? Is that how you reply to the master? Just go and report, and open the door to me first, or else Grandpa remembers you."

Under Luo Luohong's gaze, Mangjitu felt his back sweating, just when he was at a loss, another knight rushed over and shouted at him: "Mangjitu, what are you doing?" Hurry up, let someone open the door quickly, don't make it difficult for the master."

Mang Jitu looked up and found that it was Hu Xi, the boss who was guarding the periphery. Now he finally didn't have to worry about it. With the orders directly under him, he naturally didn't have to bear any responsibilities, so he walked aside to face the wall The subordinates on the board waved their hands, and the closed door was opened again.

Then Luo Luohong got off his horse and threw the reins to Manjitu who was beside him and said, "Continue to guard the gate, others will follow me in."

Mang Jitu, who was holding the reins of the horse, watched the armored soldiers follow Luo Luohong into the gate of the manor. Although he wanted to stop him, his superior stopped him with his eyes.When the figures of these soldiers disappeared inside the gate, Hu Xi whispered to the subordinate: "Don't worry too much, just do your own thing well. This is a matter between master and master, and has nothing to do with us."

When Daishan was helped out of the room by two maids, he still couldn't believe that Luo Luohong dared to run back so swaggeringly.However, after seeing this grandson in the hall, he finally couldn't help but angrily said: "You still have the face to come back? You have lost the face of Aixinjueluo's family. Someone, arrest this bastard, I want Send him to the Hall of Valor in person."

Luo Luohong glanced at his grandfather, he was only 66 years old, but he was already a little unsteady when he walked.It's no wonder that when I came back, these generals of the two red flags followed me after a little threat. After all, my grandfather seemed to be unable to protect the future of the two red flags.

He raised his hand and waved lightly, and all the soldiers in the hall retreated, leaving only the three people around him.Looking at this scene, Daishan couldn't help but sneered, and asked his grandson: "You are much more courageous than your Ama, is this trying to do something to your Mafa? Do you think you can grasp the two red flags in this way? "

Luo Luohong took two steps back without saying a word, letting out the guards around him.The guard took off the mask on his face, and greeted Dai Shan, "Prince Li, you are safe here."

Daishan finally couldn't sit still now, he looked at the guard carefully, finally confirmed his identity, and then said: "King Su, why are you here? Didn't it mean that you were already involved in the Datong Mutiny?" Did you get killed?"

Hauge smiled sadly and said, "Brother Dorgon wished for me to die, but I really didn't want to die so ignorantly, so I came back again. I also ask Prince Li to help me and give me justice."

Dai Shan sat back on his seat heavily, stared at Hauge for a long time, and then sighed and said: "It's not that I don't understand King Su's grievances, but the current situation does not allow it. If I help you, I will be satisfied." The situation of the civil war among the people, the confrontation between the north and the south, and our internal chaos first, will there be a future for the Qing Dynasty? Please King Su take care of the overall situation and bear it a little longer."

Hauge is completely desperate for Daishan now. He met Li Zicheng before going north. Li Zicheng told him that there is no hope for him to seek justice, because other people don't care about what he has received. Wronged, if you want to gain the support of other people, you have to give enough benefits so that these people know who they can get more benefits from.

Hauge was actually dubious about this sentence. He always believed that such things as justice existed in Aixinjueluo at least. If there is no justice for the master, whose Qing Dynasty is this?

But Daishan, whom he had placed high hopes on, shattered his fantasy as soon as they met.In the past, he thought that the reason why Daishan made concessions to the Dorgon brothers was to preserve the unity within Aixinjueluo, and this behavior of understanding the general situation was very respected by him.But today Daishan actually wanted to sacrifice him to take care of the so-called overall situation, which made him unbearable.

Hauge finally gave up his illusions, no longer resisting Li Zicheng's arrangement, and said to Daishan word by word: "Dorgon called the emperor's uncle the regent, and used the emperor's honor guard. These are the great crimes of humiliating the emperor; He also colluded with his two brothers, Azige and Duoduo, to seize military power and start a war against Dashun without authorization, which was also an act of conspiracy.

I said this not for myself, but for Qing Dynasty.Let the Dorgon brothers continue to rule the Qing Dynasty, then sooner or later we will die in the pass and not return to the white mountains and black waters.The Datong mutiny and the defeat in Shandong are the best evidence. Besides, if I can come to Beijing without disturbing others, Prince Li should also know that this Prince Pingxi is also unreliable.

Prince Li, now the overall situation of my Qing Dynasty is to discuss peace with Dashun, not to continue to confront Dashun.The total number of my Manchu males is only [-] to [-], which is not even comparable to the number of Han people in Liaodong. How can I fight with the Han people in the pass?They exchanged ten people for one of me, and we will all be exterminated.What's more, does Shunjun need ten for one?Two or three for one is already considered a profit for our army.

For the future of Manren, I beg Prince Li to help me drive Dorgon from the position of regent, and then make peace with Dashun. "

Daishan looked at Hauge with a somewhat complicated expression, and after a while he said: "Most of the Han people's words are not credible, they said they want to make peace with us, and when we get Dorgon down, he will not make peace again ,what should you do?"

Hauge was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer, but at this time Luo Luohong stepped aside and said without hesitation: "Then run away, if we can't even run, don't we deserve to be punished?" The Shun Army was wiped out. Now Dorgon has made up his mind to let everyone die in the pass, and they can’t run away even if they want to. So, get him down first, and then run while negotiating. The Shun Army doesn’t have any cavalry. What is chasing us?"

Hauge thought about the IOU he signed, and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, that's the reason. Now that Dorgon is on stage, we can't even run back to our hometown. We should drive him down first, and then decide Where to go."

Daishan saw that there were no one of his own in and out of the hall. After all, he didn't have the courage to die, so he sighed and said, "I'm old, and I can't take care of these things. You can do whatever you like. I'm not in good health." I can't bear to sit for a long time, so I went back to the backyard to rest."

Watching Daishan get up and leave as if fleeing, Hauge was trying to stop him, but Luo Luohong stopped him.Seeing Daishan quickly disappear into the side door, Hauge couldn't help turning around and complaining: "Why are you holding me, you should go hold your Mafa."

Luo Luohong said indifferently: "Don't be stupid, if you really want to carry Mafa out, who will decide what will happen next? You spent so much money, did you carry the sedan chair for Mafa?"

After hearing this, Haoge hesitated for a while and said, "But without you, Mafa, would the people of the two red flags listen to us?"

Luo Luohong looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't talk stupid things, even if I, Mafa, can't handle this kind of head-hanging thing, only money and official position can help. Two red flags are fine, and the blue flags are right." Whether it's the flag or not, how can there be so many loyal people? I, Ama, almost broke my heart when I treated these people. As soon as they left, they would first hang around Khan first, and then around Dorgon. What? It's time to put my master with the red flag in his eyes.

Your Majesty brought us so many silver bills, what do you think they are for?It is used at this time.Call the people who can use it, stuff the money, and then get ready to do it..."

Luo Luohong pulled Hauge out of the hall, stopped talking, and said to the people around him: "I, Mafa, is not in good health, so I sent people to guard the backyard, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave. All food and beverages must be inspected. Send it in..."

Chapter 603 Changes in Beijing II

Luo Luohong and Haoge took control of Daishan's manor, and began to recruit people everywhere, mainly to win over the two red flags and Zhenglan flags, and they also focused on the generals who guarded the city gate and the guard barracks at the palace gate.

The first ones to be caught were Meilezhang Jing Huxi, who guarded Daishan Zhuangzi, and 300 of his men. Luo Luohong threw out 6 taels of silver at one time, and gave Hu Xi 3000 taels alone. Each collar is 1000 taels each.Although it is the central bank's bills, these Manchus still recognize it. Because of the smuggling trade between the two sides in the past two years, more central bank bills have been seen in the north.
