"Fan Zhangjing." Dorgon deliberately used the title of Fan Wencheng's official position when he was in Liaodong to show his closeness. "Just now, Academician Hong Caihong told me his views on pacifying the war in the south, and he also had some insights. However, after all, you are my old man in the Qing Dynasty, and I want to hear your insights." The meaning of this is that, although What Governor Hong said makes more sense, but I am still willing to listen to your opinion, because you are an old man from the Liaodong period, and I believe you! Fan Wencheng naturally knew what his master meant when he said this, but as a slave with a strong sense of crisis, he was naturally moved when faced with his master's words. "I thank you, Master! It's hard for me to repay you for your kindness even if I'm broken into pieces!" "Don't be broken into pieces. If you are broken into pieces, who will run errands for the regent?" Duduo teased Fan Wencheng, It even made the bones in Grand Scholar Fan's body become lighter by four ounces. "Prince Yu is right. You are a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty and a slave of the late emperor and me. If something happens to you, who will buy food for me?" "Master, I have to arrange for the slave to go there. . . . " Fan Wencheng's heart beat rapidly, and his blood pressure quickly rose to over 220. He had experienced the crazy stage in Shengjing during the Huang Taiji era when prices skyrocketed and people from all walks of life fell into crazy speculation about supplies. Now it seems that Dorgon wants to leave the procurement of food and supplies for the Eight Banners and even the various departments of the Qing army to him. This is how much money you have to spend in your hands, and how much authority you have. Even the princes and princes of Eight Banners Manchuria will feel weak in the knees when they see this slave in charge of their affairs! "Just now, Academician Hong Cai expressed his views on the war and analyzed the pros and cons. In my opinion, the greatest advantage of the Southern Army is its well-equipped soldiers and abundant food and pay. If we, the Qing Dynasty, fight equally, the outcome is uncertain! "Dorgon's words are so hard that I don't even believe them. What is an equal fight? Is there equality in such things as war? Song Xianggong has been dead for more than two thousand years! "My master is wise!" "Fan Zhangjing, you are right. Now our Qing Dynasty has no shortage of money, but what we lack is food, grass and luggage! Since you said that North Korea's Jin Zidian can purchase grain, rice, cloth and other items, then, I I order you to do this. Just give me some money. As long as I see the grain and rice supplies, I don¡¯t care how much money you spend! It¡¯s all money from the south of the Yangtze River. As long as there is food, grass and luggage, there will be more money in the world. "Very good!" "The red and blue flowers we made in Liaodong before, we can also pick up the cotton and spin it for weaving, or process it and sell it to the Nanman." Just do it!¡± Fan Wencheng¡¯s heart is full of flowers! What he is happy about is not that he can make a lot of money. When he reaches his level as an official, money is already a second-level matter. What he wants is the feeling of having power! With the purchase of grain, rice and military supplies, and the "two ends outside" trade activities headed by the red and blue flower trade, he, Bachelor Fan Wencheng, and the invisible and intangible Red and Blue Flower Party behind him, embarked on the great journey again. The core of Qing power. The Red and Blue Flower Party, or the two parties involved in foreign trade, soon launched a lively trade activity on Tamna Island. Needless to say, cattle and sheepskin goods, red and blue flowers. Various materials needed by the Eight Banners disciples and Qing officers and soldiers were loaded onto sea ships and shipped to Tianjin. Some simply put cargo ships directly on Longsheng or with favorable winds. The most jaw-dropping piece of trade was the production of winter and summer military uniforms for hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, contracted by Nanzhong merchants. This is of course something to talk about later, so I won¡¯t mention it for now. "Mr. Fan, the late emperor suddenly passed away, and there were rebels and rebels who wanted to seize undivided wealth. In this matter, you have made great contributions. In this matter, you were not confused, and you assisted the late emperor and me. With the achievements of the two dynasties, I naturally trust you. Now, I also want to hear your views on the current situation. If you have any strategies, just tell me! " I surrender with Commander Hong who has been leading troops for a long time! Compared with the officials who came here, Fan Wencheng's overall quality is much higher. It's not about his cultural level, but his political ability. After all, he has been helping Huang Taiji handle government affairs for a long time, and his ability to control the overall situation and collect and analyze information is much higher. In this regard, Governor Hong is much worse. As for the ability to handle government affairs, Governor Hong is far inferior to his military command ability. Moreover, Governor Hong is not only partial to science. In terms of military command, his style of emphasizing power at the front and neglecting defense at the back is also his fatal weakness. It can be said that the decisive battle in Liaodong collapsed because of this characteristic of his. Therefore, Dorgon will naturally listen to what Governor Hong says, but he must also listen to both. "Master, I dare to speculate that Academician Hong has surrendered to our Qing Dynasty and is already at odds with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. He must have advised the master that he must fight the Southern Barbarians. This?, I have no doubt that Academician Hong is loyal to our Qing Dynasty. " Regarding Hong Chengchou's situation and starting point, Dorgon was also very clear, just like the paragraph in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Lu Su advised Sun Quan, "Anyone can surrender, but you, my lord, cannot surrender." Those who lived in Beijing before the Ming Dynasty Any official could once again abandon the dark side and return to the broad and warm embrace of Liang Guogong. Only Hong Chengchou could not, and those generals who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with him during the Liaodong War could not. Even Wu Sangui defected and went back to find him. My godmother, Li Huamei, told Xueti bitterly in front of her godfather that she was working hard to avenge her father to get forgiveness from her grandfather. However, those in the Southern Army, from Li Shouhan and below, to Li Huamei, Shi Lang, and all the way to those who were in the army, Would Tashan, ordinary soldiers who had shed blood in Liaodong, or even had brothers and sisters killed in battle, agree to forgive Hong Chengchou? He has always betrayed and betrayed him, and he is the one who attracts the most hatred! . At present, there is a trend of rebellion in Jiangnan, but there are many internal contradictions. As long as our Qing Dynasty survives their offensive in the south of the Yangtze River, we can even withdraw our troops to the north of the Yangtze River, leaving Nanjing an empty city for them. I dare to say that trouble will break out within the Southern Army! By then, it will be time for me, the Qing Dynasty, to take the initiative! " Withdraw the main force of the Qing army around Nanjing to the north of the Yangtze River, or even to the Huaihe River line to seize the initiative. This strategy was not only proposed by Fan Wencheng to Dorgon today, but also Wang Yuele of Anjun, who was in charge of military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. He has even begun to withdraw the core Eight Banners troops to the north of the Yangtze River, stationed in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and Huai'an for rest and recuperation, and can withdraw to the north bank of the Huaihe River at any time. "What do you say? "Duduo was also the commander who went to the south of the Yangtze River. He knew much more about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River than Fan Wencheng, who had never set foot in the south of the Yangtze River in the capital city. If you surrender to the same palace and become a minister, you will naturally have some contact with this person. Among them, there are also people of the same year and generation who are either in the village or serving as officials in the Southern Army. Although the north and the south are currently at war, the maritime mail route is smooth and letters often exchange between them. In order to cleanse themselves, they informed the slaves of the contents of the letter. Therefore, the slave learned that there were many contradictions in the Southern Army. Once the Qing Dynasty loses Nanjing to the Southern Army, then there will definitely be chaos within the Southern Army! "Fan Wencheng's words allowed Dorgon to analyze a lot of information! "Jiangren from all over the capital also have channels to keep in touch with their fellow villagers, sects, and contemporaries in the south to exchange information. This is a double-edged sword, although it can be Knowing the situation in the south, these guys who have breasts are sure to quietly report the situation of the Qing soldiers and horses to the Southern Army to find a way out for themselves. This is what the so-called cunning rabbits have said today! If you can contact your colleagues in the south to observe the situation of the Qing Dynasty and find out the military and political situation in the south, who knows whether the military secrets of the Qing Dynasty will be handed over to you tomorrow or today? You must find a way to control these people! In order to cleanse himself or save his life, he informed Fan Wencheng of the contents of the letter. However, who could know the details of the letter, whether it was true or false? Also, Fan Wencheng traveled frequently with these people, but Feng was also a descendant. Quan and others did not report these matters, so why did they come? Dorgon suppressed these thoughts for the time being and calmed down his tone slowly, "Mr. Fan, you were a loyal minister and a capable slave during the reign of the late emperor. Tell me what's going on in the Southern Army? " When the Qing army was in Liaodong, it was known for being good at using spies and internal agents. They specialized in detecting intelligence about the Ming Dynasty, spreading rumors, and arranging spies. Later Jin Manqing was very willing to spend money in this regard. Only the spy Wang Maofang who was captured that year was killed , the Ming court seized 2,530 taels of silver from each shop in Zhidun. However, the Qing army trained spies and established a spy network, and the harvest was also very large. The cities in Liaodong fell, and the Ming general Zhang died in the trap. Pan, Zhu Guochang, and even the commander-in-chief Ma Shilong were among their achievements. Of course, the most famous case was the counter-intentional plot to kill Yuan Chonghuan. The contemporary Wang in Jin said: "No one knows who Liu Bao is in Chang'an today." After all, a person who hunts down an adulterer is a spy. " The Qing military has always been pervasive. They may pretend to be various folk figures, or hold military positions in the Ming Dynasty, or spend a lot of money to win over important officials, or use merchants as the vanguard to collect intelligence. In the eyes of the Qing army, the key details of the Ming Dynasty are like It is generally transparent. Because there are merchants and trades in various parts of Nanzhong, many situations are not unfamiliar to the Qing army. However, because of the distance and too shocking, the Qing army officials regard it as Qi Dongye. Chatting overseas is mostly used as a pastime after dinner. But now that the two sides have become life-or-death enemies, it is too late for the Qing army to plan to deploy in Nanzhong. "The slaves were demoted through the DPRK!"??Contact with officials and gentry from all over the south of the Yangtze River. Most of them were from the same hometown, same age, and fellow disciples, or fellow community members of Donglin Fushe, and they hated Li the most. I pray in my heart that my master, the Qing Dynasty King, can pacify Jiangnan as soon as possible and give them a peaceful world and a bright and prosperous world. " "These people in the south of the Yangtze River, I, the king, have seen their gardens and mansions when I went to the south of the Yangtze River. They are all beautifully decorated, like a paradise in a cave. I heard people say that it was mostly after Liang Guogong opened business zones in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places that this generation's wealth accumulation increased day by day, often exceeding the amount accumulated by previous generations in one year. This generation became rich thanks to Liang Guogong and lived under the protection of the Southern Army. How could they hate Liang Guogong and hope that our Qing army would go south to save them from trouble? From my perspective, fire and water are not necessarily the same. This life is like living in a pond of wine and a forest of meat! This king has also heard of the prosperity and prosperity of the business district. If Luck Dehun hadn't offered a reward with goods from the trade area, how could the soldiers have been killed? ! " "My lord, Li Shouhan is just like the King of Qin who violently suppressed the Qin Dynasty. He is superstitious about force and believes that the soldiers, horses, money and food in his hands can sweep the world. He has no benevolence and righteousness, no respect for destiny, and no respect for Confucian scholars. It is said that the three armies can seize handsome men but not their ambitions! Just some money and things outside of you! How can you take away the character of a scholar? "Fan Wencheng's words were righteous and upright. But the two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo looked at each other, "Damn it, can people be so shameless? Money is an external thing, so why do you all say you have no money when Emperor Chongzhen is raising money? When Li Shouhan's business was looking for partners in various places, all you had to do was wash your wives and daughters and send them to him to warm his bed. When Zhang Xianzhong was conquering cities and territories in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, you all went to the business district one by one to buy land and build houses, exchanging your silver for gold tickets for convenience. The land in Shanghai and other places has been raised to the sky. What else are you talking about? ? " It is because of these people that Fan Wencheng can understand the current regime of Emperor Longwu in Fujian. Through those who are officials in the court, he can further pry into the mysteries of Hongwu's army and analyze the scale of this behemoth. Wherever the minions are, he tries to find a way to find the gate of life and succeeds with one strike! Since entering the customs, he has started this work and has piled up a lot of letters and correspondence between officials in Jiangnan, big and small. House. These exchanges of documents are the names of those people. Once the Qing army succeeds in going to Jiangnan, it will be evidence that they are in Cao's camp and their hearts are with the Han. However, if the Qing army's war is unfavorable, they will be needed in the Longwu regime. When they fan the flames and stir up trouble, this is their Achilles¡¯ heel! ¡°Right now, the former Ming Dynasty King is claiming the throne in Fuzhou, but he relies on the soldiers and horses of Liang Guogong. Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, southern Jiangxi, Pianyuan, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places are all under the banner of the Li family. This is just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. "When it came to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Duduo understood it clearly. He suddenly became excited. "I understand! It must be that the Duke of Liang is Cao Mengde, who holds the emperor hostage to order the princes. However, most of the civil and military officials in the court have a loyal heart and want to eradicate the powerful traitors, right? ! "Fan Wencheng nodded, even if he missed, he was not far off! In the current Longwu court, Li Shouhan's faction was naturally the main force, but there were still three thousand nails left before the ship was broken. Ming Dynasty officials from all over the country had defected to Fuzhou. As the situation stabilizes and improves, there are more and more small officials. These people are Dong Cheng and Fu Wan under Emperor Longwu. Naturally, these people have to serve in the court, but there are only so many positions for officials. Naturally, many positions in the imperial court were assigned to Liang Guogong, which took away the fame and fortune of these officials who were born in the right way. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention taking away their fame and fortune together? The truth is, the actual power of the Takamu regime lies in the shogunate. Even the academicians in the Takamu court are just a yes-man and a sealing machine. How can this be tolerated when Takeru is in charge of the country? Harmful! "This generation of military commanders can only serve on the battlefield, how can they govern the country? ! "In the eyes of these officials, you Li Shouhan fought well in the war, so you should go to the war obediently. After regaining the territory, you can invite us to take up our posts as officials in a grand manner. You can still visit us with the courtesy of meeting a superior officer." Above the court, we have formulated major policies, and you just have to implement them honestly. If we fight well, we, the scholars, will strategize and direct the situation while talking and laughing. If we don't fight well, it will be you. The conflicts between these royalists and the Liang Guogong shogunate system are the biggest hidden dangers for the Longwu court once the Qing Dynasty withdraws from Nanjing. It is necessary to carry out the so-called return of the capital and move the nest from Fuzhou to Nanjing in an attempt to escape from Li Shouhan's control. Moreover, Fuzhou City has a narrow area and is aIn the so-called industry, many yamen cannot be opened. After returning to Nanjing, these people will inevitably advocate restoration of the old views, amnesty for the world, the establishment of Enke, and many other actions to attract friends to strengthen their momentum. " "At that time, whether Liang Guogong agrees or not, he will put himself on the fire. " Restoring the old view will inevitably increase the number of useless yamen and officials. By then, the organization will be complex and bloated, with redundant staff and officials. These people will cause trouble when they have nothing to do, which will conflict with Li Shouhan. What's more, setting up yamen requires jurisdiction. Affairs require personnel and funds. Although Li Shouhan has no shortage of money and food, wouldn't it be good to use the money and food to feed his troops and forge artillery? Why would he need to support such a group of people to create trouble for himself? Not to mention. This is a step down for those officials who surrendered first to the Qing Dynasty, in order to gain more power and gain power in the court. "Li Shouhan is not a fool. If you do this, don't you find yourself a group of ancestors and enemies? "Duduo curled his lips with a look of disdain. "Master, there are some things that you clearly don't want to do, but in the name of the so-called loyalty and the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, even Prime Minister Cao himself has to hold his nose and forcefully do it. admit. Otherwise, Cao Aguo knew clearly that the Clothes and Belt Edict was written by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so why didn't he kill him? "Fan Wencheng sneered twice.
