Chapter 41 Twin Sons

The information submitted by Ma Jixiang said that the Qing court had transferred all Dodo, Boluo, Nikan, Ajige and Tulai back to the capital, and the British Prince Ajige had been imprisoned for treason.

Duoduo had beheaded Zheng Zhilong before going to Beijing.

Daishan was dead, and his son Mandahai was named Prince Heshuo Jian, holding the red flag; the eldest grandson Luo Luohun inherited the title of his father, and was the Prince of Dorokqin, holding the red flag.

Haoge and Jirgalang were regents, and Sony, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou were added as ministers of the regent.

Seeing this information, Zhu Youlang was happy and worried.

What I was happy about was that the two regents were not very powerful characters, far inferior to Dorgon. In addition, if the Qing court had to stabilize this reshuffle, how could it take for a period of time to develop itself?

What I worry about is that Xiaozhuang is so powerful. How deeply it is necessary to get rid of the Dorgon brothers who are in power in the court and the opposition. Moreover, she also promoted Sony, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou to the regent ministers, which used less powerful ministers to limit the power of the regent. In time, Haoge and Jirhalang will be undermined. When Shunzhi takes power, there will be no system of banner-masters to discuss politics, and the imperial power will be fully stabilized.

Moreover, to value Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou is a good move.

Although both of them were raised in flags, they were essentially demoted to the Han people. Using them was to calm the hearts of the Han people in the world.

In addition, it’s just for others. Hong Chengchou is so powerful. He is brave and resourceful, literary and martial, and is a rare handsome man.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the "Governor of the Three Borders of Shaanxi". The Prime Minister spent nearly eight years to wipe out almost all the peasant army. Li Zicheng, the most powerful, led 18 cavalry to flee into Shangluo Mountain.

If the Qing soldiers had not invaded the border, and given him another two years, the bandits in the Central Plains would have been wiped out.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji invaded the border and the situation was critical. Emperor Chongzhen urgently transferred Hong Chengchou out of the pass and served as the governor of Ji Liao. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he was captured by Huang Taiji and surrendered by Huang Taiji.

The failure of the Songjin Battle was not Hong Chengchou's personal failure, but actually the failure of the entire court. Because his strategic idea of ​​"taking every step of the way and not rushing to fight to the decisive battle" was very correct, but Emperor Chongzhen believed Chen Xinjia's words and ordered him to attack Jinzhou with light troops, but was surrounded by Huang Taiji and was defeated.

Just such a person has absolutely first-class strategic vision. He is not a brave man like Haoge. He will definitely see his weakness. If the Qing court asked him to take charge of military affairs, he would have to be more careful.

So, where are your weaknesses?

Zhu Youlang thought about it and found that there were about two points.

First, there is not enough time, and it takes time to develop new weapons by yourself; it also takes time to consolidate internal rule and let the new policy bear fruit.

Second, the resources are insufficient, just like pig iron. If the iron ore in Jiangxi is lost, he will have to catch it. In fact, Dorgon had already seen this point at the beginning. He concentrated his efforts to attack Jiangxi and seize Xingguo, and Jinxian subway ore for this.

Third, the individual combat capability is not strong. Apart from the advantages of firearms, if the quality of soldiers is just a matter of fact, it is far inferior to that of the Qing soldiers.

Fourth, Zhang Jiayu's combat capability is worrying. Tan Tai, a second-rate general, asked him to fight for so long before he drove out of Jiangxi. It can be foreseeable that if Hong Chengchou brought troops to attack Jiangxi, Zhang Jiayu would definitely not be able to withstand it.

And Jiangxi must be the focus of the next wave of Qing troops' attacks.

"I hope Xiaozhuang will not value Hong Chengchou. I hope you will be in trouble for a while..." Zhu Youlang prayed in his heart.

However, he knew that this kind of thinking was also self-deception. With the relationship between Xiaozhuang and Hong Chengchou, how could he not use him? If he valued Hong Chengchou, would he give himself time to develop calmly?

You still have to be yourself and not expect the enemy to make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang called Ma Jixiang and asked, "Is there any movement in Zheng Chenggong? I guess he will definitely do something when his father is killed."

"Go back to Your Majesty, there is no movement." Ma Jixiang replied in a hurry.

Zhu Youlang was upset and thought to himself: "You Zheng Chenggong held the banner of Longwu. The general trend of the world has become clear. You either surrender to the Qing Dynasty or surrender to me. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to surrender to you to beg you? Dream about you!"

Thinking of this, he ordered Gu Yanwu: "Xuesong, I will issue an order to Shi Lang to send someone to Zheng Chenggong's army to see if he can surrender? If he still doesn't surrender, eat him!"

"Abide by the order!" Gu Yanwu went to draft the order.

"Ji Xiang, pay close attention to the movements of the Qing army, especially in Nanzhili, to see who is in charge of military affairs." Zhu Youlang said.

"Abide by the order." Ma Jixiang went down.

Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "The Central Army is a weak link, and it is impossible now. Let's see how the soldiers are arranged clearly. If Hong Chengchou is really in charge, he will not be able to do so, and he will have to work hard to command the troops in person."

...

Wang Fuzhi had received the order to hand over government affairs with the new governor Chen Bowen, and immediately set off for Guangzhou. His step-wife Zheng and his son Wang Yan, who was born to his deceased wife, took office with him.

Wang Fuzhi was very happy that he had stepped down as the governor and became the Imperial College Priest. His desire to write books and educate people was finally realized, but the emperor knew my heart.

He rushed back excitedly, and more than a day, before April 15th, he finally arrived in Guangzhou. When he arrived in Guangzhou, the first thing Wang Fuzhi did was to go to the palace to meet him.

When Zhu Youlang heard that Wang Fuzhi had returned, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Li Hong to invite Wang Fuzhi to the Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have been separated for half a year. I long for Long Yan. Today I got what I wish. I was very happy. Therefore, I lost my composure. Please don't blame me!" Wang Fuzhi took the ceremony and stood up, stared at Zhu Youlang and looked at him, tears actually flowed down.

"Hahaha, and the farmer, who is so old, why are you still doing a childlike manner? I see you, because you have the errand of the Imperial College, you don't have to be a cattle or a horse for me in Fujian, so you are so happy that you cry, right?" Zhu Youlang didn't expect that Wang Fuzhi was so loving to you, and he was very moved. However, he didn't want to cry with him.

Looking at each other speechlessly, tears in your eyes? Where is the genius?

So, I quickly made a joke to cover it up.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you are right. I am really able to fulfill my wishes as a priest in the Imperial College. For me, I should be a great joy." Wang Fuzhi quickly wiped his tears and followed him to make fun of it.

"And Nong, you have a happy time, and I have a happy time. When our king and his ministers meet today, they are actually happy. It can be seen that your king and Nong are my god of joy." Zhu Youlang said happily.

"Your Majesty, what kind of happy event? Let me share the joy when I say it."

"Li Xuanshi gave birth to a pair of twin sons for me today. Do you think it's a big joy? Does it count as? Hahaha..."
