Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 355
"What's the situation in Jinzhou?" Huang Taiji asked sharply, his face darkened when he saw the messenger.

Although it was relatively smooth in the direction of Ning Jin, the ancestral army was basically killed, and there was one less force to harass the Qing Dynasty.However, North Korea, which least wants to have a problem, has already had a problem. Now is there another problem in Jinzhou?
To be honest, at this time, Huang Taiji has two big heads on one head. This is not because he is fat, but because he is upset.

In the Chongzheng Hall, the other leaders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all had bad faces.At least at this time, they are not yet naive, and Daishan is here to repay the victory.

Sure enough, the messenger immediately forwarded the letter, and the colleague reported: "Ban Zhifu, a general under King Zhishun, was found outside Jinzhou City. According to his report, King Zhishun committed suicide under the siege of North Korea!"

Hearing this, although Huang Taiji's expression was still not good-looking, a more careful person, such as Fan Wencheng, could tell that Huang Taiji was actually a little relieved.

North Korea cut off the messenger's nose, and when he was expelled back, he knew that King Zhisun who stayed in North Korea was in danger.Therefore, it is not surprising to hear that Shang Kexi committed suicide at this time.

Poor Shang Kexi only wanted to serve Man Qing wholeheartedly, and wanted to serve his new master well, and now he didn't know until his death that his death actually didn't cause any waves in the court of Man Qing, and not many people cared about his life or death.

Seeing that Huang Taiji quickly finished reading the memorial to Daishan, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly frowned and asked, "How did this group of Zhifu appear outside Jinzhou City?"

Regarding this doubt, other people in the hall also had doubts, and they all wanted to know, so they all looked at the messenger.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to what that group of Zhifu said, they were originally going to be escorted to the Ming Dynasty, and after reaching the Jinzhou sea area, they jumped into the sea and fled back." The messenger replied respectfully.

These people do not understand the situation at sea, so they have no doubts.Otherwise, some people will definitely doubt that it is so easy to jump into the sea to escape?

In fact, Ban Zhifu was afraid that the army would release the two of them voluntarily, which would cause unnecessary trouble instead.For example, if some people don't believe it, they will ask why the Ming army let them go?Did the two of them reach an agreement with the Ming army?Anyway, there are many questions, some of which are not easy to answer.Therefore, it is better to simply lie and say that jumping into the sea and fleeing back!
After hearing this, Huang Taiji asked again: "Did Ban Zhifu say anything else? About the situation in North Korea?"

There are naturally related descriptions in Daishan's memorial.However, Huang Taiji was not satisfied, so he wanted to ask to see if there was more news.

So, the messenger introduced it again, which was probably similar to the content of Daishan Memorial.However, when he reached the end, he hesitated a little, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

When Huang Taiji saw it, he yelled sharply: "No matter what news, there must be no concealment!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The messenger's expression tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly replied, "According to Ban Zhifu's account, he heard that Zhengbai Banner Gu Shan'e really surrendered to the Ming army, and he was also taken to the Ming capital. But he didn't see it with his own eyes, and the Jinzhou side agreed that this must be the Ming army sowing discord, so no one believed this rumor."

"Sure, how could Yingerdai surrender to the Ming army, and his head was not caught by the door!" Duoduo immediately echoed when he heard this, "He must have died in battle!"

"Yes, my Qing Dynasty has never surrendered to the Ming army. At least Ying Erdai is a man, and he will definitely not surrender!" Azig also yelled.

It would be a kind of irony if the Qing Dynasty had such high-level officials that they would surrender to the Ming army.

Even Gushan'e Zhenturg, who had previously displayed a white flag, did not surrender to the Ming army, but was captured and eventually escaped.

"..."

Hearing the comments from the people below, Huang Taiji frowned, and after a while, he nodded his head and concluded: "I think that Yingerdai will definitely not surrender to the Ming army, and nine out of ten he died in battle." The reason why the Ming army fabricated this lie was mainly to hit the morale of our Qing army and civilians! Jinzhou’s handling method is correct. This kind of matter cannot be discussed. You must believe that my Qing Dynasty has no soft bones of!"

After the conclusion was reached, there was nothing more to do with the messenger, and when he withdrew, Huang Taiji asked everyone in the hall again, how to deal with the Korean affairs?
As soon as he asked this question, he immediately attracted a bunch of angry replies.

"Your Majesty, it goes without saying that North Korea dared to betray us, Daqing, and must be taught a severe lesson!"

"Yes, if I want my brother to do it, let's just destroy North Korea, so that they don't have to do it over and over again!"

"That's right, send troops immediately to destroy North Korea, and this is what happens to those who dare to betray the Qing Dynasty!"

"..."

Listening to their almost one-sided words, Huang Taiji nodded, he also meant the same thing.When North Korea did that, it simply didn't take Daqing and him, the emperor of Qing, seriously.This kind of thing must be severely punished.

But when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Fan Wencheng not frowning, lowering his head in thought.Suddenly, his heart moved, and he asked: "Why didn't Fan Qing speak? Let me tell you what you think?"

Being named by Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng certainly didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, slaves also mean the same thing. Anyone who dares to rebel against the Qing Dynasty must be severely punished, and no imitators can be followed! But..."

Huang Taiji was nodding his head, when he heard a turning point, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "But what?"

"But the slave thought that it would be bad to send troops to North Korea immediately..."

Fan Wencheng was interrupted by Duoduo before he finished speaking: "Is there something wrong with your brain? Can this kind of thing be delayed? Do you want to delay it slowly and let it go? Say, you usually collect How much benefit did the North Koreans have?"

"..." Fan Wencheng was dumb for a while when he heard it, but he soon came back to his senses, and immediately called out to Qu: "Your Highness, please don't spout blood. This slave is loyal to His Majesty, so why would he do such illegal things!"

Huang Taiji believed him, and immediately stopped questioning, and then asked Fan Wencheng to continue.

"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Now North Korea is rebelling against the Qing Dynasty because it has the support of the Ming army. I think that whether it is North Korea or the Ming army, they must know that the Qing Dynasty will not give up. It is to fully prepare for the revenge of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I feel that if the Qing Dynasty sends troops at this time, it will be within the expectations of the North Korean and Ming armies. The effect of the war may not be as great as imagined. Once the war drags on, Over time, it will consume a lot of food and supplies in the Qing Dynasty. "

When Fan Wencheng said this, he saw Huang Taiji's thoughtful look and continued to add: "Therefore, I think it is better to take a surprise and wait for the Koreans to relax, or the Ming army is restrained and unable to rescue the Koreans. Next, if we, the Qing Dynasty, suddenly send troops to North Korea, maybe we will get twice the result with half the effort!"

In the Chongzheng Hall, many people felt that what Fan Wencheng said was reasonable, but Duoduo, who strongly demanded to send troops just now, retorted a little angrily: "Isn't it just North Korea, why are you so fussy? Whether he is prepared or not, directly There will be no problem at all if you go to Seoul!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Wencheng explained patiently: "My lord, it's not that I can't win the Qing Dynasty, but the price I have to pay to win this war. If it's just Koreans, it's true that you don't need to calculate too much. But, now The Ming army in Liaodong is still a bit strong, at least it has been proven in one battle. Be careful, or it will be better!"

After hearing this, Duoduo was a little unconvinced, and he was ready to attack even the Ming army.But Huang Taiji didn't give him a chance to speak, so he said to Fan Wencheng: "That's right, what Fan Qing said is reasonable, and now the food and grass supplies are the most important thing in my Qing Dynasty, and this must be considered. "

When he said this, he suddenly saw Dorgon coming out and reported to him: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to bluff and station troops on the border of North Korea and exaggerate the strength of the troops so that North Korea's war readiness will never be relaxed. At the same time, we can also The Ming army became nervous. But I, the Qing Dynasty, will do whatever I need to do. When the time is right, we will gather heavy troops and defeat North Korea after it relaxes!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly agreed loudly: "Okay, not bad, this method is good!"

Seeing that he was happy, Jilharang also joined in the fun and said: "Your Majesty, you can also send a small force to North Korea to attack the winter valley and weaken North Korea's war readiness as much as possible. If possible, focus on the coastal areas. In this way, If the Ming army wants to get supplies from North Korea, they have to transport them from farther away, which is also a blow to North Korea and the Ming army!"

Huang Taiji was even happier when he heard it, and he could keep talking, but if he asked again, he wouldn't have much to add.Therefore, in response to North Korea's betrayal this time, Manchu Qing also gave a countermeasure, and soon began to implement it.

...............

The days passed slowly, and soon, it will be the Chinese New Year.

However, the Manchu Qing army did not stop. It is said that there are [-] troops, and they are planning to cross the Yalu River in winter and prepare to destroy North Korea in one fell swoop.This made the North Korean side very scared. While ordering the war preparations of various places, they urgently sent people to Phi Island for help.

However, these movements have little impact on Golden State.What they were doing before, they are still doing what they are doing now.

No, King Gongshun and King Huaishun got together to drink secretly again.

After a while, Kong Youde suddenly said to Geng Zhongming: "Don't pay too much attention to those clowns. Prince Li has already reprimanded them."

Hearing this, Geng Zhongming sighed, shook his head and said, "I know, I don't care about such little things."

Before that, the Ming army suddenly attacked Jinzhou. In order to keep Jinzhou, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and some Jianlu's family supervisors were locked outside the city.Some were killed by the Ming army; some were later exchanged by Han slaves in the city.However, neither those who were killed nor those who were exchanged were grateful to Geng Zhongming. On the contrary, they all had very strong opinions on him.After Daishan led the army back, he went to Daishan to file a complaint.Said that Geng Zhongming secretly informed the Ming army and demanded severe punishment.

However, Daishan was quite sensible, and did not punish Geng Zhongming after he understood what had happened.But all the Han slaves in Jinzhou were rescued by the Ming army, and Daishan couldn't be happy because he didn't have to work hard.Therefore, Daishan did not strictly reprimand those who complained.

As a result, in this way, although those people did not sue Geng Zhongming, they were still relentless and began to seek matters from Geng Zhongming and his subordinates.In this regard, Geng Zhongming had no choice but to endure, not daring to conflict with the Jianzhou Jurchens.

At this time, after he finished speaking, he saw that Kong Youde still looked a little worried, so he had to say truthfully: "This is really not what I am thinking about..."

Speaking of this, he looked around, and in the empty courtyard, he could see at a glance that only in the distance were the guards of the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said to Kong Youde: "You say, it's still good to welcome that fellow's arrival." Before death, is it true or false? Can people really see something before they die? "

Hearing this, Kong Youde himself fell silent. After drinking a glass of mulled wine, he shook his head and said, "It must be because we drank too much. Didn't we all almost die several times, and we never saw anything!"

"That's different!" Geng Zhongming shook his head immediately after hearing this and said, "We're not really going to die! King Yama must know this. I mean, if we were really going to die, would we see something? It's gratifying It’s one, I’ve heard of it before and others seem to have encountered it too!”

Hearing this, Kong Youde seemed a little irritable. He twisted his buttocks and couldn't sit still. He suddenly threw the chopsticks on the table, sighed, looked at Geng Zhongming and said, "So what if we saw it? Are we willing to Is it? If it were possible, we would get to where we are today?"

Seeing Kong Youde like this, Geng Zhongming answered in the affirmative, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "They...they should be able to understand, right?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject, and said with a sad expression: "In the past two days, I have dreamed about the past, and even dreamed about when I was a child. But...but later it became a nightmare!"

When Kong Youde heard it, he was stunned for a while, and then he sighed and said: "After hearing what that class of Zhifu said, I also dreamed about my parents, my brother, and Mao Shuai, and I dreamed a lot. People... oh!"

After a long sigh, Kong Youde went to get the jug to pour wine, but found that there was no wine in the jug, so he sighed and said: "Now even the wine is restricted. I'm afraid there will be no wine in the past few days." The wine is drunk!"

Geng Zhongming didn't answer this topic, but bowed his head in silence for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked Kong Youde in a low voice: "Zu Dashou is gone, Shang Kexi is gone, North Korea has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and it's still so blatant. It's really changed now. Much better, how do you think the situation in Liaodong will develop?"
