Chapter 334 Blood-sucking at both ends is a basic operation
The mutual benefit mechanism established by Zhu Shuren through Zheng Chenggong and Wu Sangui worked well from the very beginning.

In just ten days, at the second transaction, Wu Sangui had another big harvest—Gao Jie's direct line troops, and some of Bai Guangen's old troops who followed Gao Jie because of the butterfly effect, and also because of Li Zicheng's lax control, Wu Sangui, who was caught by the opportunity, was lured to Shanhaiguan by using silver bullet diplomacy and the bait of withdrawing south.

The troops of the Thripmen horse family also became unstable.

Part of the Marko troops sent by Li Zicheng to threaten Wu Sangui escaped and defected to Wu under Wu Sangui's persuasion and large sums of money.

As for after voting for Wu, whether to choose to withdraw to the south or continue to fight with Wu Sangui is to stay free——

It's just that those who want to withdraw to the south will not get the money.After all, it is not necessary to sacrifice one's life for the safety of the southward retreat. It would be great if Wu Sangui offered free boat tickets for them. He even had to confiscate all the property of the southward retreaters in order to transfer and pay heavy rewards to the troops who stayed in Shanhaiguan.

While Wu Sangui withheld internally, he also received a sum of money from Zheng Chenggong externally.Anyway, he, the middleman, has left enough the price difference, so he will definitely make a profit without losing money.

Only Ma Ke himself, and his closest relatives and servants, because Li Zicheng guarded them too strictly, did not seize the opportunity to join the enemy.After some of them surrendered to the enemy, Li Zicheng became more and more wary of these new Ming troops.

In the end, it was calculated that at the end of the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, and in the next half month, Wu Sangui actually got more people from Bai Guangen's old department who followed Gao Jie, and a half of Ma Ke's people than in the same period in history.

Due to Zhu Shuren's persuasion, shipping routes, and silver bullet offensives, at least half of the Ming army that should have resolutely joined the Ming army on the three frontiers in Hebei became capricious and once again abandoned the dark and turned to the bright.

In terms of breaking into the army, at least because of this, more than 2 newly recruited former Ming Dynasty frontier troops, Bai Guangen Mako's bandit troops, were taken away.

On Wu Sangui's side, even though he had annexed more than 2 Ming troops, his own combat power has not increased, because there are thousands of Zhang Guozhu troops under his own direct line, and there are thousands of other Guan Ning troops who are not direct descendants of the Wu family. They were all transported away by Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong.

Most of the old Bai Guangen's department brought by Gao Jie was bought by Zhang Mingzhen, and a few of Tang Tong's and Ma Ke's old departments went south with them.

After calculation, Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong are nine-sided soldiers who have earned a net profit of about [-] yuan.

Among them, Li Fuming's department, which was originally devoted to Zhu Shuren, had 7000 people (Li Fuming was an extra survivor of the butterfly effect, and his status in the defense area of ​​Yongping Prefecture was equal to Wu Sangui. He wanted to support the governor Wang Yongji to go south. Wu Sangui was in charge not, so it cannot be regarded as Wu Sangui's loss),
There are 6000 people in Zhang Guozhu's department, [-] to [-] in other non-directed Guanning troops, nearly [-] in Bai Guangen's department, and [-] to [-] in Ma Ke's and Tang Tong's departments.Wu Sangui also lost thousands of people more than the same period in history.

But considering that Li Zicheng on the opposite side had a net loss of [-], even if Wu Sangui lost a few thousand people, the power comparison between him and Li Zicheng was still superior to that of the same period in history.

Moreover, the troops under Wu Sangui's command are now much higher than the same period in history in terms of cohesion.

Because Wu Sangui has become rich and powerful, he is very active in giving out extra rewards, and his morale is extremely high in a short period of time, and he is very enthusiastic about being fed with money.

Zhu Shuren draws blood from both pros and cons at the same time, which is almost the same as when he drew blood from Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting at the same time on the battlefield in Henan more than a year ago——

At that time, Li Zicheng was severely injured by Zhu Shuren in Chen County. He wiped out Li Jiyu's department, recruited Yuan Shizhong's department, and also caused certain damage to other departments of the Chuang army, such as Yuan Zongdi, and killed Tian Jianxiu.

However, it was also because Zhu Shuren took over Chen Yongfu, the general of Kaifeng at the same time, that Sun Chuanting also lost the main force of the Henan army in the battle.

Both sides were secretly slashed. In the end, Sun Chuanting still didn't beat Li Zicheng, who had been slowing down by crazy military expansion regardless of cost, and died in Xi'an.

In today's situation, Zhu Shuren is repeating his old tricks again, and he is still desperately pulling elite armed forces to the south, regardless of the enemy or himself, drawing blood crazily by any means. Whether it is the original Ming army that should have followed Li Zicheng in history, or the original Ming army that should have followed Wu Sangui, He could do whatever he could, but all he spent was a huge amount of money.

It means that all forces on the northern border are being drawn out, and only the south has been strengthened again.

The removal of these 3 people was only the first wave of operations. It was the level that Zhu Shuren could do when Wu Sangui felt that he still had a way to go.

In the future, if Wu Sangui's situation gets worse and he can't control the situation himself, then the proportion of his subordinates who want to go south will be even higher.At that time, even if it is Wu Sangui's direct lineage, Zhang Guozhu will not be the only general who will leave, so Zhu Shuren is not in a hurry. Anyway, he has an absolute naval advantage and can keep the route of attracting people open at any time.

More importantly, during the negotiation process, Zhu Shuren also instructed Zheng Chenggong to repeatedly publicize the new policy of the southern government to the three sides of Hebei:
Although we still don't know who the new emperor will be in the future, Guo Xingye and the governor of Huguang are willing to take the responsibility to ensure that the troops on the three sides of Hebei will not pursue anyone because of the death of the former emperor and the lack of rescue. Let bygones be bygones!

This point of propaganda offensive is also very important.

In history, the Ming army on the three frontiers of Hebei turned their guns to attack Nanming after they became thieves. The main reason is that the Ming system was too harsh on warriors. The law and the inflexible system made everyone in the three sides of Hebei feel insecure,
We were all afraid that "when the first emperor died, we would not save him. If Daming rises again, we will be liquidated", so we can only go one way to the dark and send Daming to his funeral.

After all, the Ming army on the three sides of Hebei is indeed the most suspicious of the issue of "not rescuing him". They were so close to the emperor, and they all sat and watched Chongzhen's death, or defected to the enemy before the emperor died, and were not loyal to Chongzhen. It really doesn't have to be washed.

Therefore, at this juncture, it is very important to give up pursuing the historical responsibility of the warriors and to be flexible and tactful.

Maybe in the future, those princes in Nanjing will continue to talk about principles, but Zhu Shuren can take responsibility in advance and promise to go out: as long as he Zhu Shuren is in power, in the future, civil servants will never be allowed to turn over the history of Jiashen's change and join the army Responsibility old account!
On the contrary, Zhu Shuren is not afraid of overturning the old account of the historical responsibility of the civil official group.Anyway, literati don't have a handle in their hands, so it's no big deal to liquidate when the time comes in the future.

Of course, the situation is critical now, so I'm not in a hurry to talk about it, just pretend I don't know and pretend to be confused.

Moreover, even if Zhu Shuren's promise has no legal effect, he has nothing to say, but at least right now he controls Daming's main source of income.He has the final say on whether to pay the Ming army who retreated from the north to the south and has historical problems, and that is enough.

As long as the soldiers have food and military pay first, they can be temporarily stabilized.

His father, Shen Tingyang, is still in charge of the position of Minister of the Household Department in Nanjing. With the collapse of the six departments in Beijing, Shen Tingyang is equivalent to the new Minister of the Household Department. The right to issue money and tax is in the hands of the Shen family. Credibility.

Moreover, although it is impossible for a powerful position like Hubu Shangshu to be the chief assistant in the future Nanjing court, he will definitely be an important elder in the cabinet!
Taking ten thousand steps back, to put it bluntly, the Ming troops on the three frontiers of Hebei who retreated to the south were willing to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty only after they believed the "no liquidation promise" made by Shen Tingyang and Zhu Shuren.

If one day, the imperial court in the south wants another faction to take power, and let those political enemies who deny Shen Tingyang and Zhu Shuren's great policies take power, these former Ming armies on the three sides of Hebei, just think about it with their toes, and they all know that they should use their own hands Who do you support with your swords and guns!

If you don’t support Guo Xingye who has been in power for a long time, and replace him with a civil servant who loves to settle historical responsibilities as the head and assistant, then these former Hebei Ming troops with dirty buttocks will be severely punished!
Only when Guo Xing Ye is in power for a long time, can their prosperity and wealth be guaranteed for a long time!From then on, their fortunes and lives were tied to the power of Lord Guoxing!As long as Lord Guoxing is in power, they will have a good day!
If you want to be liquidated and questioned, or to be rich and prosperous, you can decide for yourself!

……

Zhu Shuren draws blood frantically, weakens Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui at the same time, and uses the drawn blood to strengthen the future southern court's armed forces.

The negotiations between Wu Sangui and Dorgon finally made progress.

These two things are actually parallel in terms of time. Even the time when Dorgon made a change in decision-making was a little two or three days earlier than Zheng Chenggong's second wave of ship withdrawal.

As early as the 23rd of the first lunar month, that is, the day after Wu Sangui agreed to Zheng Chenggong's new conditions, he sent an envoy to contact Dorgon for the last time, and also brought the latest version of the conditions, all in accordance with Zhu Shuren's remote control instructions. of.

Dorgon and his troops did not stay in Shengjing (Shenyang), but went out to Tashan in person, as if they were ready to intervene at any time.

Tashan is only the last [-] miles away from Shanhaiguan, and there is still a way to bypass Yanshan, take the Liucheng Grassland from the north to Jimen, and with the speed of the Qing cavalry, no matter where you go, it is very fast.

Before Dorgon determined his strategy and the conditions he could obtain, it was indeed the best choice to garrison Tashan and wait for the opportunity.

The elite cavalry he brought for the eighth period also reached as many as 4 to [-], almost taking out more than half of the main force of the Eight Banners, and there are almost the same number of Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry, and tens of thousands of slightly weaker troops The infantry and artillery of the Han army banner.

The total force reached [-] to [-] cavalry and [-] to [-] infantry.From the scale of this force, it can also be seen that Dorgon is really ambitious and dares to bet on the main force.

With neither Hauge nor Jierhalang supporting the gamble, these forces are basically the limit that Dorgon can use.

Who made it so that in the four months after Huang Taiji's death, there is no prince or banner owner in the Qing Dynasty who can make enough great achievements and establish absolute prestige.

The remaining half of the Manchu troops will have to wait until Dorgon wins this bet and enters Beijing, then his prestige will naturally explode in an instant, and Jierhalang and Haoge will have the right to speak at that time With the existence of the plunge, no one can question his Dorgon's decision anymore!

At this juncture, Wu Sangui's envoy arrived again, and Dorgon naturally attached great importance to it.

Before the envoy was received, Dorgon put him in a position to let him see the battles of the Qing Dynasty, "showing the banners and banners to strengthen the army." Talking about the conditions, the momentum is enough.

After some coercion, the messenger was brought to Dorgon.

Dorgon was a strong black fat man in his early thirties, one year younger than Chongzhen. When he met the envoy, he sat on a big tiger-skin chair with a golden knife and a horse, his face was not arrogant.

He didn't need to ask those questions in person, and the Han civil servants who had just surrendered to him would do it for him.And this Han civil official is also an old acquaintance, it is Fan Wencheng, a veteran traitor and a bachelor of the inner academy.

Fan Wencheng already had a high status at the end of the Huangtai Ji Dynasty, after all, he was the No. 1 Hanchen in the Qing Dynasty.But in recent months, he has just suffered some setbacks.

First, in the series of power struggles after Huang Taiji's death, Fan Wencheng's direct master Shuo Tuo was involved in a major murder case and was killed.But soon Fan Wencheng was occupied by Dorgon's younger brother Duo Duo to occupy his newly married wife, which made Fan Wencheng very disturbed, lest Duo Duo would trouble him again.

So now Fan Wencheng is also very eager to show in front of Dorgon that he still has the value of being used. I hope that Dorgon will pay attention to him and don't let Dorgon's younger brother Doduo deal with him.

To prove his worth, of course, he must strive to cut some more meat from the Ming Dynasty and present it to his master through diplomatic negotiations, so that the master can value him!

Ever since, Fan Wencheng went all out with all his firepower, asking why Wu Sangui's emissary was so slow to agree to the great Prince Rui's proposal!Why refuse to sacrifice Shanhaiguan and surrender to the Qing Dynasty!

The envoy sent by Wu Sangui was named Tong Kuixing, and his official position was Supervisor Ji Tongzhi, a five-rank military supervisor.Guan Ningjun's idea of ​​"borrowing teachers to assist in the suppression" was originally proposed by Wu Sangui and others.

This Tong Kui Xing is not Wu Sangui's confidant, and with Wu Sangui's current status, it is not his turn to use a fifth-rank civil servant as a confidant.

It's just because Wu Sangui's superiors are theoretically still under the pressure of Governor Wang Yongji and Governor Li Yutian.Even though Wang Yongji had just evacuated with Zheng Chenggong's fleet in recent days, Li Yutian remained in Shanhaiguan.When Wu Sangui sent an envoy, of course he had to respect the opinions of the nominal civil servants and avoid suspicion, so he sent Tong Kui on Li Yutian's order to show him that Wu Sangui was dedicated to the public and had no selfish thoughts.

In the face of Fan Wencheng's questioning, Tong Kuixing was not a man of backbone. Fortunately, Zhu Shuren's negotiation strategy explained by Zheng Chenggong was not bad, and he could barely withstand it:

"Your Highness, Mr. Fan, my general has long wanted to be in harmony with your army, but the conditions offered by your country are really unacceptable, and my general is not good at making such a decision to betray your father and ancestors!

I hope His Highness can understand that my general is under the pressure of Governor Wang and Governor Li. If he dares to agree to treason and donate land, even the soldiers under his command will not agree. "

PS: I know that many people have doubts about the protagonist's ability to win over.Here are a few words.

The starting point is to write casually, to whitewash anyone's essays, and you can find them.In fact, the fewer people read the book, the more unrestrained it can be written, because if no one reads it, no one will be jealous or expose it.

It is said that there are very few people who read this book of mine, and they can be free and unrestrained.But I can’t ask myself according to the requirements of those who casually discard their pseudonym vests. I have to think that every book is a trace, and the Internet has memory.

I will write other books in the future, if some people read them again, I can't leave the stain of being too unrestrained and whitewashing historical traitors.

In the mainstream circle of authors who are popular, and who are entitled to be stared at for faults, there is an unwritten bottom line for historical literature. You can't be nihilistic anyway, and you can't change the main crimes committed by traitors in history.

If you write that you have traveled to the time when Wu Sangui became King Pingxi, and you want San Francisco anyway, then of course there is no problem, anyway, it is already an established fact that the introduction of Qing soldiers into the customs has been done before.

If you write about traveling to the Tianqi Dynasty, or simply prevent the Jiashen Change from happening, and let Wu Sangui release the Qing soldiers' prerequisites, then it won't happen later, that's fine.

But what I wrote was across the timeline of the Jiashen Incident.I can only minimize the loss of the Ming army, attract more people to go south, and disintegrate.Everyone can understand it as "most of the forces under Wu Sangui's command will be won over in the end."

But Wu Sangui's own historical crimes, I still have to let him happen, this is a sign, and it cannot be empty.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad way to teach children who read few history books?
What if a new junior high school student reader reads a novel about Wu Sangui not being a traitor as the first novel about the end of the Ming Dynasty?Aren't you being misled?
In the same way, when it comes to the time point of the collapse of Han Chinese rule, there are several people on the pillar of historical shame who must not be washed away, otherwise something will happen.Look at the starting point, who can give Qin Hui, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Wang Jingwei... but Jia Sidao, you can still wash it, because Jia Sidao is only said to be "wronging the country" after all, and he has not turned a thief into a traitor.

People who have been benchmark traitors in history, and their benchmark traitor incidents cannot be washed away.His subordinates can not be traitors because of the butterfly effect. The limit of operation is to isolate these people into bare commanders.

Let's deal with the above, everyone understands.
