Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 188
In the latest issue of "Ming Pao", the headline on the front page featured an article written by Tang Ning himself.

In the article, he denounced the atrocities of the Qing army, the poisoning of the living beings, and the destruction of civilization.

From the perspective of the whole article, it is no different from the general call to action, but it has caused a huge shock nationwide.

Because in this article, there is also a rhyme mixed with eye-catching bold fonts.

The ballad spread quickly, and everyone in the Qing court was horrified when they heard it.

Because the two core characters referred to in this ballad, one is the regent Dorgon, and the other is their current emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon, Prince Regent, lived in Shunzhi for seven years; endured the humiliation of Emperor Shunzhi, and dug his grave to tear down his bones.

Once the honor and disgrace were lost in life, there is no peace in life and death; the future of the Qing Dynasty is hopeless, which is sad and ridiculous.

The content of the ballad is very popular, and people with a little understanding can pass it on orally, and the meaning is very clear.

The regent Dorgon, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, is the powerful minister among the powerful ministers today. In a sense, even Emperor Shunzhi has to be controlled by him.

But such a character will die in the seventh year of Shunzhi, that is, five years later.

After his death, Emperor Shunzhi, who had been swallowing his anger, finally showed his fangs and dug up Dorgon's grave.

There is no doubt that Dorgon's contribution to the Qing Dynasty is very outstanding, and his contribution to the Qing Dynasty's ability to aspire to the Central Plains is indispensable.

However, if his grave was dug after his death, would Emperor Shunzhi still recognize his contributions?It will definitely be downplayed as much as possible, and then a series of crimes will be listed to smear it as much as possible.

Therefore, once the honor and disgrace in life are lost, the death of the body and the disappearance of the Tao are the inevitable outcome.

As for the last sentence, it refers directly to the Qing Dynasty.

To bluntly say that the Qing Dynasty has no future and will eventually come to a dead end will only add to the laughingstock.

If this ballad was written by someone else, most people would just laugh it off and not take it as a big deal.

But this ballad was written by Tangning herself, so the meaning is different.

Who doesn't know?This wasn't the first time Tangning had done something like this, but all the ballads written by him had been fulfilled, and it was impossible to make people take it seriously.

All of a sudden, the court and the public in the Qing Dynasty were all affected by this ballad, especially the forces closely related to it, as well as those who surrendered.

"Ming Pao" has been secretly distributed across the country through special channels. As the central capital, those who have a reputation can get a copy of the latest issue of "Ming Pao" in time.

It doesn't matter what channel they use to buy, someone will take advantage of the night to stuff it into the crack of the door, or throw it into their mansion.

In Prince Rui's Mansion, a tall man with a beard nearly two meters tall, dressed in brocade robes, was walking around in the front hall of the mansion with a copy of "Ming Pao" in his hand.

The few officials in front of him all bowed their bodies slightly, their expressions were humble, and they dared not speak.

Because, this bearded man is none other than the mighty and powerful Prince Rui and Prince Regent: Dorgon.

Naturally, these people had read the contents of this "Ming Pao", and it was for this reason that they came to Prince Rui's mansion to have an audience with Prince Rui.

Suddenly, Dorgon had a certain figure, looked at the person in the middle, and asked lightly: "Suksaha, how credible do you think this ballad is?"

Sukesaha's heart trembled, and he said hastily: "I feel that Your Highness is in the prime of life, and he is the humerus of my Qing Dynasty. I have inherited the great fortune of the sky, and I will surely live a long life."

"This time, Tangning's malicious slander and demagoguery are really trying to mess with our policy and move our army's morale. Don't let it go."

Gang Lin and Tan Tai on the side also expressed their opinions one after another, "What Master Sukesaha said is very true."

"Tangning is in the southern corner of An An, and has recently invaded and occupied Fujian. She has great ambitions. From now on, she will definitely be my strong enemy in the Qing Dynasty. I can't believe what people say."

Not to mention whether this ballad will really come true, they will not agree in front of Dorgon, otherwise, wouldn't they curse Dorgon for his early death?
However, they are full of fear of this "Ming Pao".

Because in addition to the deceptive ballad, it also exaggerated the discord among the various factions of the Qing court, especially the chaotic relationship between Dorgon's family and Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang.

It is to help Shunzhi's remorse for Dorgon arise step by step, so that people believe that after Dorgon's death, Shunzhi can do the grave digging.

There are some things that even Dorgon's confidantes don't know, but this newspaper has been written out with a nose and an eye.

People are full of fear, but they dare not speak out, it is really like walking on thin ice.

Dorgon didn't talk about the "Ming Pao" anymore, but changed the subject and said, "I heard that when the new army captured Fujian, all the people in Fujian welcomed it. Tangning's way of buying people's hearts is really impressive. people admire."

After pondering for a while, Dorgon continued: "The order will be passed on, the hair-shaving order will be suspended, and all troops will be strictly ordered not to wantonly kill innocent people..."

"Your Highness is wise..." Several people quickly knelt down and answered the order.

Dorgon had already decided that the army would go south this time, and he would forcefully promulgate the hair-shaving order. He also knew that it would inevitably lead to resistance.

But he didn't take it seriously, under the butcher's knife, those soft bones of the previous dynasty would eventually succumb.

However, this "Ming Pao" hit his heart like a heavy hammer.

Coupled with the various news from Fujian, it made him clear that the new army would be the biggest enemy of the Qing Dynasty.

Tang Ning is different from Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhu Yousong, and is not comparable to those mobs. The Qing Dynasty must pay enough attention to it.

If the hair shaving order is issued at this time, it will inevitably lead to huge resistance and killings, which will further confirm Tangning's atrocities, and the new army will gain more power, which will not be conducive to the pacification of the south in the future.

As for his response to the ballad, and the complicated relationship between him and Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang and others disclosed in Ming Pao, he did not reveal anything, nor did he intend to tell anyone.

The daily court is also the same as usual, and it seems that it has not been affected in the slightest.

However, Xiaozhuang, who is orphaned and widowed, does not think that nothing has happened. This wise woman has long convened ministers Daishan, Qierhalang and others to secretly discuss how to dispel Dorgon's suspicion of Fulin.

But this matter is quite difficult, not inferior to the fight for the throne at the beginning, because people's hearts are the most unpredictable, whether it is the nine-year-old child Fulin or the mature Dorgon.

Who can guarantee that after Dorgon's death, Fulin, who will be in charge in the future, will not really dig his grave?

It would have been fine if Tangning hadn't disclosed these things, no one would have thought about digging graves, but now some secret things that happened in the court had a certain balance with the hard work, and Tangning directly picked them up publicly.

Even if Dorgon doesn't believe it, I'm afraid someone will force Dorgon to guard against it.

As he grows up, Fulin will also keep some things in mind, whether it is for the dignity of the emperor, or the reputation of his biological mother, etc., he will definitely not have a good impression of Dorgon.

These are all contradictions. Once the current balance is broken, it will be a disaster for the Qing court, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

It can be said that although the new army had not formally fought against the Qing army, Tangning's move was not innocuous. He directly shot an arrow at the highest decision-making level of the Qing court far away in the capital, causing panic among the people.
