Ming politicians

The news of Sun Chengzong's death quickly spread to the Qing Dynasty. Upon hearing the news, Fan Wencheng didn't rest well for several days, and his eyes were red from the boil.

In order to repay Huang Taiji's kindness, Fan Wencheng has pushed himself to a dead end. No one can blame him, but himself. On the issue of forming the Qing Dynasty Navy, it was because of his opinion that he wiped out Dorgon's ambition extinguished Daishan's expectations. You must know that these two people are the most prominent officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Needless to say Daishan, one of the four great Baylors back then, Dorgon was brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful, and gained the trust of Nurhachi since he was a child, and Huang Taiji also appreciated it very much. There is an army, and the power is monstrous.

However, Fan Wencheng is not a fool, and would not offend these two powerful Manchu dignitaries for nothing without any support. It is precisely because Huang Taiji accepted some of his ideas and had the idea of ​​protecting imperial power. It will be the last shot, and the opportunity is very good.

Now that the action has been made, it is impossible to stop. Both Daishan and Dorgon have left Shenyang. The first step has been successful, and the next step is to make more efforts to gain further trust from Huang Taiji. Fan Wencheng did not How ambitious is it? In the Qing Dynasty where the Manchu dignitaries are in charge, it is too difficult for the Han people to get ahead, and the benefits of the Qing Dynasty are in the wind and rain. If the Ming Dynasty really becomes strong, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to have a way out. Huddled in Liaodong, it is impossible to have too much development. [

Powers like Daishan and Dorgon would have been in the Ming Dynasty.I'm afraid your head has been separated long ago, no matter if you are a relative of the emperor.You are still a Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, your power cannot threaten the imperial power, you can fight for power, you can even try to limit the imperial power, you can gradually strengthen the power of the ministers, but you must not threaten the imperial power, otherwise, the position of others I couldn't sit still.The gate needs to be changed.

Fan Wencheng is clear that in the early stages of a country's establishment, everyone's goals are the same, and many contradictions and problems will be covered up, but once the political power is stabilized, many contradictions will erupt as quickly as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Beheading so many meritorious ministers, it can be said that the civil and military ministers who made military exploits for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty were almost beheaded.Win the world immediately, but cannot continue to govern the world on horseback. Once the political power is stabilized, many talents will be recruited from the people through the imperial examination.better govern the country.

Fan Wencheng is actually gambling, now that he has taken this step.He needs to gain the absolute trust of Huang Taiji, and slowly influence Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji can gradually weaken the power of Daishan, Dorgon and others during his lifetime.

Fan Wencheng dared to do this, and he also saw the clues.

Huang Taiji trusts Hao Ge and others more. They have certain views on Daishan. It can be said that their dissatisfaction is temporarily suppressed in their hearts. It can even be said that they pay attention to Daishan all the time. As long as Daishan shows up If something is wrong, they will take action mercilessly. This point can be reflected from what happened to Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo had already been captured and beheaded by the Ming army, but Yue Tuo was demoted from a prince to a Beizi. The disparity in this is huge. Don't think about it anymore, I'm afraid Huang Taiji won't see it that way, nor will he fully believe it.

It can be said that Huang Taiji's decision to temporarily govern the Xianghong Banner caused a stir. In today's Eight Banners Army, four banners are under the direct control of Huang Taiji, and other people should understand the stakes. It was Dorgon, he didn't dare to mess around, and he had to be obedient.

Fan Wencheng is a Han, and he received Confucian education. He never believed in absolute family affection. These so-called family affections seemed so vulnerable in the face of political struggles. A lot has happened, and quite a few Manchu dignitaries fell in the political struggle.

After following Huang Taiji for so many years, Fan Wencheng felt that he had indeed met Mingjun. Huang Taiji could be said to be an emperor through the ages. As long as he had enough time and conditions, Huang Taiji would definitely be able to rule the Central Plains and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Dynasty, this is Fan Wencheng's self-confidence, and it is also the goal that Fan Wencheng strives for all his life.

As the situation gradually eased, Fan Wencheng stepped up the construction of the intelligence network. The more opportunities he had, the more he had to strengthen the grasp of intelligence. Huang Taiji also fully supported him. When Fan Wencheng was worried that the cost would be too much, he took the initiative to increase the cost.

The effect of doing this is very obvious. Information from the Great Ming capital has been continuously sent to Shenyang.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and resources, and it is impossible to grasp all the information, so the intelligence network has always had a focus, the most important thing is the situation of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty must obey the arrangements of the capital. Yes, so, as long as you have the information about the Daming capital, you will be able to know the changes in the place.

When Geng Zhongming entered the mansion, Fan Wencheng personally went to the door to greet him.

Geng Zhongming is very happy to have returned to Shenyang, and he is also very grateful to Fan Wencheng. He has been stationed in Songshan all the time and rarely has the opportunity to return to Shenyang, let alone contact with Huang Taiji for a long time. This time he can return to Shenyang. Cheng helped to speak, Huang Taiji trusted Fan Wencheng very much, and thought carefully about Fan Wencheng's suggestion.

What happened to Kong Youde chilled Geng Zhongming. Including Shang Kexi, the three of them used to be Mao Wenlong's men. After Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, the fate of the three of them changed a lot, but in the end they all took refuge in Mao Wenlong. It takes courage to surrender to a foreign race. I am afraid that few people will be able to accept the crimes that need to be borne.

If he was defeated by the Ming army, or captured alive, Geng Zhongming knew that he had no chance, not to mention himself, his family members would have no chance. The example of Kong Youde is right in front of him. After being captured by the Ming army and executed by Ling Chi, Kong Youde Although his family members are still in Shenyang, their situation is not as good as before. They are worried and cautious every day, for fear of offending anyone. I don’t know how many Manchu dignitaries in Shenyang have offended anyone. For Kong Youde’s family, It's all a disaster.

"Your Excellency came to greet you in person, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"My lord, don't say that. When my lord comes to pay a visit to the manor, I feel like I'm flourishing." [

The two entered the mansion with a smile, and Fan Wencheng told the housekeeper that he and Geng Zhongming would go to the study to discuss important matters, no matter who they were, don't bother them for the time being.

After entering the study, the housekeeper left after making tea.

"My lord, there has been news during this time. It seems that the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, Mr. Sun Chengzong, died of illness. I don't know if this news is true."

"That's true."

Geng Zhongming stood up excitedly and patted his chest.

"Good thing, good thing, this Sun Chengzong is very powerful. He used to be an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is very familiar with the situation in Liaodong. Does your lord know that the Guanning Jin line of defense is the idea proposed by Sun Chengzong, including the construction of Daling River City? , the old man Sun Chengzong is gone, it is a great thing for the Qing Dynasty."

"My lord, I don't understand. Why did my lord say that? Can you explain in detail?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. As the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong is familiar with the situation in Liaodong. He must have attached great importance to the situation in Liaodong. This will also affect the court. Once Sun Chengzong dies, I think the Ming court may They won’t pay so much attention to Liaodong’s affairs, and even if they do, I’m afraid there won’t be as much support as before.”

"My lord's words are indeed reasonable. These days, the officials have been thinking about Sun Chengzong's death, and whether there will be any changes in the Ming court. In this regard, I would like to ask my lord to advise me."

Geng Zhongming looked at Fan Wencheng and scratched his scalp. In fact, he didn't know much about it, but he knew Sun Chengzong's name. He was once a famous general who fought against Hou Jin. When he was in Liaodong, he was not qualified to enter the capital. Not to mention knowing the situation of the court in detail.

"My lord, I can't analyze this. My lord is wise, and I will definitely be able to analyze it. If you have any experience, I will listen to it."

There was a smile on Fan Wencheng's face, and this smile seemed a little unfathomable.

"My lord, you and I have the same experience. In the Ming Dynasty, we are all people who will never recover. We have no other way to go. The only way is to bless me, the Qing Dynasty, to turn the Ming Dynasty and aspire to the Central Plains. But you and me There are still some problems with the situation. The Qing Dynasty is the head of the Manchu dignitaries. It is impossible for you and me to occupy a high position. If we leave the trust and support of the emperor, you and I may also die. Under such circumstances, you All I can do is die."

"My lord's words are reasonable, but Kong Youde's situation is still a bit miserable. I don't know. His family members are all terrified now. I'm afraid the ending will not be so good."

"This lower official has already thought about it. If it is compared with the past, there must be a gap, but the emperor is kind, and he still allocates silver taels every month to support King Gongshun's family. It is very good to be able to do this. If it was in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be no good end, and it is very normal for one person to ascend to heaven."

Geng Zhongming nodded, approving what Fan Wencheng said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
