Chapter 781 The Great Qing Mission
Duoduo sneered: "Sir Hong, do you think it is useful to Lianming to pacify thieves? How long can the Hongguang Dynasty in Nanjing block the barbarian Li Laoer? I'm afraid it will not last for three months! And we can't follow the south path of Shandong Canal, so we can only detour south of Henan. Entering the two Huaihe lands, we must also carefully avoid Li Laoer's Touhu Castle and Huaian, so as not to rush to the wall and flood our Qing Tianjun! Lianming to pacify thieves? Humph, it's just a joke!" The princes of the Eight Banners and the generals were discussing:
"Yes, just those soldiers from Hongguang's reign can stop Li Lao Er?"
"The soldiers of the barbarian Li Laoer are not inferior to our Qing Dynasty soldiers!"
"Yes, the soldiers of the barbarian Li Laoer can compete with our Qing Dynasty soldiers. Moreover, this person is very tricky. My Qing Dynasty suffered several losses in his hands."
"But Li Laoer has too few people."
"So what if you are young? I have few soldiers from the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it that I have been so many times that I beat Ming Gou crying and calling for her parents?"
"So, although Li Laoer only has 50,000 people, it will be no problem to conquer Nanjing in three months."
Dorgon stood up and made a gesture: "Everyone, quiet! Quiet! Let's hear what Hengjiu said first!"
Although Haoge stopped talking, he muttered to himself: Hong Chengchou, this dog slave! When his father was there, this dog slave was always a dog! Now that Dorgon is successful, this dog has also ascended to heaven with the chicken and dog!
Hong Chengchou saluted Dorgon and said respectfully: "Prince, this couplet of Ming Dynasty to pacify thieves is not about how long Hongguang Dynasty can block Li Lao Er, but about winning the hearts of the people! We proposed that the couplet of Ming Dynasty and pacify thieves will definitely be able to get the response of the gentry in the world. As Grand Secretary Fan said, if our Qing Tianjun attacked Shaanxi, the gentry in Shaanxi would definitely bring food and pots to welcome him, but what Grand Secretary Fan said was at least Shaanxi and Henan, which were deeply harmed by the bandits; but our army raised the banner of joining Ming Dynasty and listed Chongzhen as a bandit, then it would not be a Shaanxi gentry who would pacify thieves to welcome my Qing Tianjun. At that time, Chongzhen was a thief, and my Qing was a king! All the gentry in the world would bring food and pots to welcome my Qing Dynasty! "
"A clever plan! A clever plan!" Dorgon held his beard and laughed, "With Mr. Hong's words, I, the Qing Dynasty, will definitely be able to unify the world!"
"Brother," Duoduo stood up, "How could Chongzhen be stupid? But he is the orthodox Ming Dynasty after all. How could he be the pseudo-Emperor Hongguang say that he is a thief or a thief?"
Dorgon smiled and said, "Since Chongzhen abandoned the ancestral temple and fled out of the capital in a hurry, he has no longer been orthodox in the Ming Dynasty! Originally, he still had some scholars to support him, but since he poisoned the gentry along the way, the scholars in the world have regarded him as bandits! Now that our army has launched the banner of uniting the Ming Dynasty to pacify the thieves, it will definitely be responded to by the gentry in the world! It doesn't matter whether the Hongguang Dynasty can block Chongzhen. What's important is that even if the Hongguang Dynasty is defeated, the scholars in the world will introduce other vassal kings as orthodox. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will continue to inflict chaos, and our Qing Dynasty can pacify the world!"
"The prince is wise!" Hong Chengchou quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Dorgon smiled and nodded to Hong Chengchou: "Heng Jiu, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Prince!"
Dorgon looked around again: "The most urgent task now is to send an envoy to Nanjing to negotiate with Hongguang Dynasty and implement our strategy of joining Ming to combat the thieves!"
Someone must go to the Nanming envoy, so what should I send?
There were many three ministers who surrendered to Dashun first and then to the Qing Dynasty, but who should I send? Fan Wencheng proposed a person: "How about Guang Shiheng?"
Dorgon shook his head: "It's not appropriate. This person has stopped Chongzhen from hunting in the south. If this person hadn't stopped him, how could he let Chongzhen be saved by Li Laoer? If Chongzhen could go to Jiangnan early, he might have fallen into the control of the gentry in Jiangnan again and would not have caused great storms. Now Chongzhen and Li Laoer are joining forces, and the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty is in danger. If Guang Shiheng left, he would have been killed by Nan Ming!"
It was Hong Chengchou who offered another suggestion and proposed a person: "You can send Chen Mingxia to the south to the Hongguang Dynasty."
"Chen Mingxia? He was the one who intercepted Chongzhen in Shandong not long ago, and then came to the north to surrender the thieves first, and then to the Qing people?"
"It's this person! Prince, Chen Zhilin and Chen Mingxia and even friends. Now Chongzhen's tyrant king is preparing to copy the nine tribes of Chen Zhilin and Chen Mingxia. Chen Mingxia and Chongzhen must have a deep blood and kinship. If Chen Mingxia is ordered to serve as an envoy to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the plan of joining Ming to pacify the thieves will definitely be accomplished!" Hong Chengchou replied.
Hong Chengchou was sinister and vicious, and had many tricks. In fact, the traitor who made the greatest contribution to the Qing Dynasty was not Wu Sangui, but Hong Chengchou! Without Hong Chengchou's strategic plan, the Qing Dynasty could not destroy the Southern Ming and unify the world. Compared with Hong Chengchou's contribution to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui was nothing at all. Even if Wu Sangui did not open Shanhaiguan and let the Qing army enter the pass, according to Dorgon's plan, the Qing army would bypass Shanhaiguan and enter the Northern Zhili as before. At that time, the Shun army would be defeated, but the Qing army would suffer a little greater loss, but it would not hurt the root of the Manchu Eight Banners. Dorgon would let the Han Eight Banners' firearms take the lead in front, and the Mongolian Eight Banners detoured from both wings. The real Manchu Eight Banners were placed behind to press the formation.
Therefore, the difference between Wu Sangui and whether there is Wu Sangui; but whether there is Hong Chengchou is the difference between them. What's more, Wu Sangui only joined Qing for his own future and finally opposed the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui's biggest stain was strangling Emperor Yongli.
On the other hand, Hong Chengchou was really devoted to conquering the world for the Qing Dynasty. According to his point of view, if I shave my hair and dress easily, I will let the Qing Dynasty unify the world. By then, everyone will shave their hair and dress easily. Everyone will be the people of the Qing Dynasty, so no one will scold me. Therefore, Hong Chengchou was the real guide for the Qing Dynasty to unify the world, not Wu Sangui.
It is precisely this reason that Li Guodong sent someone to rescue Cao Bianjiao, but deliberately did not save Hong Chengchou because he felt that people like Hong Chengchou should use a knife to turn him into a piece of skin duck to relieve his hatred.
Li Guodong believes that if he captures Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou in the future, since Wu Sangui no longer has the chance to kill the lord, Wu Sangui can let go, but Hong Chengchou must not let go. In the future, Wu Sangui can be used to pacify the Western Regions and expand territory for the Ming Dynasty. Just like Shi Lang and Wu Liuqi, Shi Lang and Wu Liuqi were both traitors in real history, but they did not have the chance to be traitors in this time and space, so they should use it for me and use them well.
Chen Mingxia accepted Dorgon's important task, took Dorgon's secret letter, left the capital, and embarked on a journey on the Hongguang Dynasty.
As for the safety of the mission, Chen Mingxia himself appointed Wu Weihua, the former Ming Dynasty commander, and Luo Yangxing, Luo, Yangxing, to serve as bodyguards, and escorted more than fifty Jinyiwei who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Weihua and Luo Yangxing brought the Yuan Jinyiwei who had already become the Qing army's Goshha all the way.
Chen Mingxia was on an envoy to the Southern Ming Dynasty. If he followed the canal and went south to Shandong, Xuzhou and Huai'an, the road was no longer accessible. Under the strict control of Chongzhen, Li Guodong and the factory guards, Chen Mingxia could only give up the water and land route. He set out from the capital, and there were twenty white-armored soldiers and two hundred cavalry along the way. When he entered Henan, he was about to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing army left, leaving only Wu Weihua, Luo Yangxing, and the fifty Jinyi Guards escorted.
The missions heading south do not need to go to Nanjing at all, they just need to go to Zuo Liangyu's territory in Jiujiang.
This is actually Hong Chengchou's plan. If the plan to suppress the thieves in Mingming cannot be successful, Chen Mingxia can be used to persuade Zuo Liangyu and let Zuo Liangyu surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Jiujiang, the residence of the general who pacified the bandits.
"Master, the envoy from the north has arrived and said he would see you." A servant outside came in to report.
"The envoy from the north? Is it a thief or a Qing Dynasty?" Zuo Liangyu asked.
The servant replied: "The general Hui was the envoy of the Qing Dynasty. He said he wanted to cooperate with our court and unite with Ming to pacify the thieves."
