Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Peace Talk
Hong Chengchou knew Chongzhen's temper and character very well.

Some people say that the person who understands you best in this world is your enemy, but now, the person who understands Emperor Chongzhen best is precisely this person who was first a courtier and then an enemy.

What is the character of Emperor Chongzhen: Suspicious.

Hong Chengchou knew this well. If he hadn't been suspicious, Yuandudu's ending might have been better. If he hadn't been suspicious, he couldn't have changed so many cabinet chiefs in less than ten years.

In Hong Chengchou's eyes, Emperor Chongzhen only trusted one person in his life, at most one and a half.

Yang Sichang is one of them, he is the emperor's good partner, he is also a teacher and a friend, and the monarch and his ministers are always the same.

Wen Tiren was counted as half, if he hadn't been fooled and ended up being suspected by Emperor Chongzhen, he might have counted as one, but now it looks like it can only be counted as half.

In addition, no matter whether the foreign ministers or the eunuchs of the inner court, none of them could get into the eyes of this high-ranking emperor, including him Hong Chengchou, and naturally, including the tragic Yuandudu before.

As for Zhu Changyuan, hehe!
Don't say that Hong Chengchou knew it, I'm afraid Huang Taiji knew it too, this was just a way Chongzhen couldn't help, otherwise, Zhu Changyuan would have been referred to the corner of Liaodong long ago.If Zhu Changyuan had been placed in Liaodong earlier, there would have been no failure in the Songjin War. Why is it now?

Also, when Zhu Changyuan was recruiting Shaanxi, the 30 army in his hand was seized by Yang Sichang overnight.

All in all, it shows that Emperor Chongzhen still can't trust Zhu Changyuan.

Moreover, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji also knew more inside information about the various conditions of various transactions between Chongzhen and Zhu Changyuan.

For example, Zhu Changyuan agreed on a period of three years, and gave the emperor the power of life and death in the land of Liaodong.

From this, it is more affirmed that the relationship between Zhu Changyuan and Chongzhen is not normal.

"The situation in Liaodong is like a game of chess. Zhu Changyuan is just a chess player temporarily recruited by the Ming Empire, and I assure you that he is just a passing player."

With confidence in his mind, Hong Chengchou continued: "Once he can't play this game of chess well, he will leave sooner or later."

"But!" Huang Taiji interrupted Hong Chengchou, shook his head and said: "Zhu Changyuan is actually a good chess player, and now the people behind him have promised him a lot of convenience, so it should be no problem to play the game of Liaodong well."

It's not that Huang Taiji belittled himself, but that Zhu Changyuan's horror was really biting him like tarsal maggots all the time, telling him: Every person who tried to fight Zhu Changyuan in vain would have only one final result, either death or death. defeat!

"Hehehe!" After Hong Chengchou heard Huang Taiji's worry, instead of being depressed, he laughed a few times, of course, not the kind of unscrupulous laughter.

After laughing, he said: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case! However, it is because Zhu Changyuan is a good chess player, a rare good chess player, that his career as a chess player cannot be long."

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up!
Hong Chengchou was right, the more outstanding the general, the more intolerant he was to his master.For example, the famous Han Xin in history; for example, Tan Daoji, who destroyed the Great Wall; for example, Yue Fei, for example, King Lanling.

These are all a bit far away. To put it close, such as sapphire, such as Yuandudu, uh, Yuandudu is not counted, and it has not yet reached the level of the master of high power.

Therefore, Zhu Changyuan's fate can be imagined, and it can also be expected.

Hong Chengchou went on to say: "We just need to be a pusher to let Zhu Changyuan's Liaodong chess player's career end quickly."

"How to push?"

This is the key, and what Huang Taiji didn't say is, what kind of price will be paid?
"Two-pronged approach." Hong Chengchou's brows suddenly turned cold, and he said: "First, Your Majesty should get in touch with the foreign ministers of the Daming capital, spread rumors, stir up Chongzhen, and make him have doubts about Zhu Changyuan."

"As for the second." Hong Chengchou took a deep look at Huang Taiji, and said, "Hold Zhu Changyuan, try not to have a large-scale conflict with him, and try to wait until the Ming Dynasty recalls him back."

The first point is easy to do, and according to Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, it is extremely easy to succeed.

But the second point is a bit more difficult, but Hong Chengchou believes that even if it is difficult enough, Huang Taiji has to go up. just reached the conclusion.

Huang Taiji didn't express his position. After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, he fell into endless contemplation.

After pondering for a long time, he waved his hand casually and said, "Mr. Hong is also tired, go back and rest first, your suggestion today is very good, I will consider it."

After sending Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng away, Huang Taiji stood up from his seat, looked directly at Dorgon, and asked, "What do fourteenth brothers think of Hong Chengchou's idea?"

Dorgon thought for a while, cupped his hands and said frankly: "There are merits, but it will take a long time." Seeing that the emperor did not express anything, he said: "In my opinion, although Zhu Changyuan is powerful, but ten The fifth younger brother did not earn his name in vain, if it is a matter of life and death, we can know who is weak and who is strong."

There is no doubt that as a general, Dorgon is the main battle.

Even if he thinks that Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou are right, he generally cannot agree, because what he speaks represents the opinion of the military, and the military, no matter what time it is, must not fight cowardly.

Moreover, with Duoduo's hole card, Dorgon was also very eager to fight Zhu Changyuan.

Everyone in the world knows how powerful Zhu Changyuan is, but they have not seen the brilliance of this fifteenth brother of the Qing Dynasty: the first time he went out of the mountain with Huang Taiji, detoured Mongolia and entered Beijing directly from Nianzikou, it was this young fifteenth brother Playing the vanguard, and almost invincible all the way, under the spear, there is no general.

The second time, during the Songjin War, Hong Chengchou mobilized 40 troops to surround Huang Taiji's main force. It was the fifteenth younger brother, Duoduo, who stood up by virtue of his prestige and ability. , found Tang Tong's breakthrough, broke out of the encirclement in one go, and then killed a carbine, led the army back to the original place and fought against the Ming army.

Later, abandoning the infantry and taking only the cavalry, they captured Jinzhou and Ningyuan all the way, and the front of the soldiers was heading straight to Shanhaiguan.

Duoduo became famous in the two battles, which can be said to be illustrious and brilliant throughout the ages. Compared with the great Ming Emperor Zhu Changyuan who fought in the Central Plains, at least in terms of statistics, it is indeed not much better.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Dorgon to have the idea of ​​fighting Zhu Changyuan to the death.

"No!"

However, as the commander-in-chief of a country, Huang Taiji thought much further.

There is a saying in the art of war: Fumiao counts, before victory is counted, defeat is counted first.

At this moment, Huang Taiji is counting defeat first.

Duoduo is powerful, relying on the powerful cavalry advantage of the Qing Dynasty, he does have the strength and capital to fight Zhu Changyuan, but Zhu Changyuan is not weak either.

If the two tigers fight, there must be an injury. If Zhu Changyuan loses, then it is easy to say that not only will the entire Liaodong in his hands be further stabilized, but Shanhaiguan will also be captured. It is even more likely that he will be able to look directly at the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

But what if Dodo loses?
This consequence is much more serious than after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Changyuan's pissing nature that does not stop chasing the dead, I am afraid that the entire Aixinjueluo family may be exterminated.

Back then when Zhu Changyuan pursued Zhang Xianzhong, that was a lesson learned from the past; even Li Zicheng, wasn't he driven out of Gansu?Now I'm afraid I don't know how to be happy in that corner of the Western Regions.

After thinking about this, Huang Taiji categorically rejected Dorgon's suggestion from the bottom of his heart.

"The fourteenth brother will write a letter to Zhu Changyuan tomorrow, saying, we want to negotiate a peace, let's see what he wants?"

The main initiative and peace must pay a painful price.However, for Huang Taiji, as long as he can survive until the tiger is killed by his master, everything is worth it.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + +
At this time, Zhu Changyuan lived very happily in the Governor's Mansion of Jiliao.

In front of her eyes, Chen Yuanyuan was sitting gracefully, playing the pipa softly and singing, with her babbling voice that could instantly kill any man, she sang slowly:

By the broken bridge outside the post,
Loneliness is no master.

Just after singing a few lines, Zhu Changyuan slapped the table and shouted to stop.

"Chen Ji, don't sing this all the time, okay? Even if I have a lot of fish and meat all day long, master, I will get tired of eating one day, let alone this song, let's change it!"

Zhu Changyuan actually liked listening to this song, but when he thought of Chen Yuanyuan singing this song with tears in his eyes, and thinking of Mao Pijiang in the southern country thousands of miles away, he felt sour for a while.

Although on the surface he promised to help her find Mao Pijiang, but in his heart he had already regarded Chen Yuan as his own slave, not to mention Mao Pijiang, he was the Emperor Chongzhen, so he rushed over to try it out.

Therefore, no matter how generous he is, he can't bear his woman thinking about other men, let alone Zhu Changyuan, who is stingy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chen Yuanyuan was very polite to Zhu Changyuan, if Zhu Changyuan asked him to change, then change.

"Painting boats on the Qinhuai River in the smoke,

The boat is independent.

Looking back and looking at Piao Ran,
Hate desolation!
The fog in the heart of the river is heavy,
The wind blows the concubine's soft intestines.

The sisal belt of the southern country stands in the rain,
. . . . . "

Ok.

Zhu Changyuan was discouraged.

Although the song was changed, it was still sung in the same tune, no matter how nice it was, Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but feel a little bored.

"Stop it." Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said, "Chen Ji has been playing all morning, maybe she is tired, so go back and have a rest first, and she won't be serving for the next few days."

This kind of service is too much to talk about, and it also feels like giving someone else a wife. The four words "living like a year" can't be more appropriate to describe Zhu Changyuan's current mood.

Not long after Chen Yuanyuan went down, Zhu Changyuan received a letter.

Letters from Huang Taiji.

The words in the letter were difficult to understand, but Zhu Changyuan still roughly understood the meaning, which basically meant that he did not want to fight and wanted to negotiate peace.

"Negotiation, it's very good, just what I want!" When Zhu Changyuan saw the end, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "Negotiation is good, but your Huang Taiji wants to learn from Sun Quan because you want to eat alone. Lao Tzu?"
