Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 312 Release Wu Sangui

Zhu Yousong didn't say much, but he included two important pieces of information. One is that Zhu Yousong didn't kill the three of them and planned to release them because they were honored by Zu Dashou; There is correspondence, that is to say, Zu Dashou was a spy of the Ming court who broke into the interior of the Qing Dynasty, and his surrender to the Tartars was a false surrender.

How is this possible?Wu Sangui clearly remembered that it had been several years since his uncle Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. During this period, he had persuaded himself to surrender to the Tartars. How could he be a spy of Ming Dynasty?

Wu Sangui's brain is too complicated. This is the mind of a politician and military strategist. He immediately understood Zhu Yousong's intentions, and pointedly pointed out that Zhu Yousong was using countermeasures to make Zhu Yousong give up. Putting life and death aside, people like him are no longer afraid of death.

It is very embarrassing and boring for the plot to be exposed by the opponent on the spot. It seems that His Majesty's plot has failed, so let's just kill the three traitors and stop wasting your time... He Xuanjiao, Zheng Hongkui, Zu Keyong, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and others all thought so, and looked at Zhu Yousong together.

But Zhu Yousong is not frustrated and frustrated at all, the reason is that Zhu Yousong is very well prepared, he knows that Wu Sangui is a formidable opponent, he needs both literature and martial arts, otherwise he can sit on the throne in history The throne of kings?It is not easy to fool him, so Zhu Yousong did not give up this strategy easily and continued to trick him.

"Wu Sangui, you think you're smart, but how much do you know about your uncle? Let me just say it straight. Do you know about the struggle between the country and the country 50 years ago?"

Wu Sangui is only in his 30s this year, so of course he doesn’t know much about what happened 50 years ago, but the Ming Dynasty’s national struggle was the biggest political event in Ming Dynasty at that time. Minister, I have heard that Zhu Yousong suddenly mentioned this matter today, and Wu Sangui doesn't know what Zhu Yousong's intention is.

Zhu Yousong brought up the country-based dispute back then, of course it was deliberately processed. He said that his cheap father, the old Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, who had never met, almost became the emperor back then, and Emperor Wanli Zhu Changxun has already intended to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, because Zhu Yousong's cheap grandma is Emperor Wanli's favorite concubine Zheng, but many officials disagree because Zhu Changxun is the third son of Emperor Wanli. Establishing a young man does not conform to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. According to the ancestral system, Zhu Changluo should be established as the crown prince.

Emperor Wanli was unhappy, not because he hated Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, but mainly because he was born to a court lady, so he insisted on establishing the third prince Zhu Changxun, while some civil and military ministers resolutely opposed it, mainly Donglin party members, so the emperor and his ministers were separated. This is the famous national dispute in history.Of course, there are many people who support the emperor to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince. Zu Chengxun, who is the commander-in-chief, is Zu Dashou's father, and he is one of the most loyal supporters of the old Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.Zu Chengxun was a commander-in-chief guarding the border at that time, with heavy troops in his hands.

The dispute over the country has lasted for 15 years, and four cabinet chiefs and assistants have been dismissed successively. More central and local officials have been implicated, including civil servants and military officials, as many as hundreds of people. Under the pressure of hundreds of officials and the ancestral system, Wanli finally established the eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, and named Zhu Youchangxun the king of blessing, hereditary succession.

Although the old Fu Wang did not sit on the throne of God, he did not forget the hardcore fans in these national struggles. He once drew up a list and kept in touch with his ancestors in Liaodong. When he became an emperor, he followed his father's teachings, and of course he did not forget the heroes and veterans who fought for the foundation of the country back then, so he also kept a secret correspondence with Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou inherited his father's will and has always been loyal to the old Fu Wang and Xiao Fu Wang. Yuan Chonghuan was convicted of Ling Chi. Why was he not held accountable for the crime of Liaodong Zuda? It was mainly because of the blessing of the old Fu Wang Zhu Changxun. There were victories, but there were also many defeats. The Tartars persuaded them to surrender several times, but they were all rejected. Later, they were trapped by the Tartars. Why did they surrender?
This is definitely not because Zu Dashou is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the old King Fu and Emperor Chongzhen have long seen that the Tatars are determined to enter the Ming Dynasty. Clean up the interior, wait for the right time to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and deal a devastating blow to these wild boar skins outside the pass, so as to get rid of the long-standing border troubles of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a pity that the old Fu Wang and the Chongzhen Emperor died before they were born. The old Fu Wang was caught and cooked by Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was invincible after repeated suppressions and then attacked Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in despair.

Zu Dashou heard the bad news and couldn't kneel in the Qing camp for a long time. He looked at Nandu many times and prayed with tears of blood. After Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne, their monarchs and ministers kept in close contact in secret.To put it bluntly, Zu Dashou was ordered to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. As for Zu Dashou's persuasion to surrender to the Qing Dynasty after Zu Dashou's surrender, it was because the Tartars were powerful and he, a spy, needed assistants.

Otherwise, why Zu Dashou was a loyal and brave official who showed great merit in the battle of Ningyuan and Dalinghe. However, he was forced to surrender. This is only a superficial phenomenon, but it is actually the will.

Wu Sangui, Wu Yingguang, and Ma Bao were dubious, because Zhu Yousong based on real historical events, processed and adapted his words, and his words were well-founded and eloquent, enough to confuse the fake with the real one. The three of them heard that this was definitely not Zhu Yousong. If it can be made up, it must be Daming's secret, and I can't help but savor Zhu Yousong's words carefully. Is Zu Dashou really a big crab?

Seeing Wu Sangui and the three captives looking at each other in astonishment, Zhu Yousong knew that he had fooled them to the point that he had to keep working hard, so he began to berate Wu Sangui.

Because Zhu Yousong suddenly snapped up the dragon case, "Wu Sangui, you rebellious son, thanks to you, you are still Zu Aiqing's nephew! Your uncle and your father have been loyal and loyal to my Ming Dynasty for generations. They did not hesitate to wrap their bodies in horse leather and made immortal contributions , and you are also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, with heavy soldiers in your hands. First, Chongzhen treated you well and granted you a marquis, but you defected to the enemy because of a prostitute, recognized a thief as your father, opened the door and bowed to the thief and put the Tartar into the pass. He also helped the tyrants to slaughter the Han people and ravaged the country and land of Ming Dynasty. Because you just surrendered, your uncle dared not have too much contact with you, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the tyrants. If it wasn’t for Zu Aiqing’s face, I would have I will cut you into pieces, you go back and send this letter to Zu Aiqing, and my Zu Aiqing will decide whether you live or die, someone here will throw them out!"

After Zhu Yousong finished speaking, he threw the already written letter in Wu Sangui's face and walked away. Wu Sangui, Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang were completely dumbfounded this time.

At this time, armored guards came over to loosen the ropes of the three captives. Wu Sangui really bent down and picked up the letter and put it in his arms. Seeing that Zhu Yousong really let them go, the three prisoners flew out of the Ming camp and disappeared into the night that had just fallen.
