Chapter 182 The first beauty of the Qing Dynasty
When Qian Qianyi heard Zhu Youlang's instructions, he was happy again: "Your Majesty, are you still dreaming of running away by boat? Little did he know that the brothers Lin Cha have betrayed you! Lin Jue is the official who you personally asked him to restore him. What is this called? Digging your own grave?"
"I will go to Zhenhailou tomorrow to watch the Three Thousand Camp Martial Arts Exercise, Jisheng, and receive it. Taichong, the Minister of War Tong Yangjia, you four follow you."
"I will obey the order!"
...
In the early Ming Dynasty, the garrison troops outside the capital had three main camps, the Five Military Camps, the Shenji Camp and the Three Thousand Camps.
Among them, the Three Thousand Battalions are cavalry assault units composed of Mongolian cavalry, which is considered the Ming Dynasty mercenary. In fact, the Three Thousand Battalions do not only have three Thousand Cavalry. Overall, the Three Thousand Battalions have about six or seven thousand Mongolian cavalry.
Today's Three Thousand Battalions have just borrowed a name. In fact, there are only one thousand cavalrymen, which are mainly composed of soldiers under the Zhongzheng Lan Banner of the Eight Banners of the Qing Han Dynasty led by Tong Yangjia.
After the Battle of Zhangzhou, Zhu Youlang ordered Tong Yangjia to be the admiral of Fujian and handed him over 100,000 prisoners of war, and asked him to be responsible for the disposal.
These prisoners, Tong Yangjia, were willing to go home according to Zhu Youlang's order, and were sent to the public for travel expenses, road guides, and were sent home; those who were unwilling to go home and were willing to continue to serve as soldiers and eat food, were converted into soldiers of the garrison after ideological education and went to various garrisons.
These thousand soldiers were the personal guards of Tong Yangjia before he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. After he became the Minister of War, he brought the troops to Guangzhou in the name of rebuilding the 3,000 battalions and stationed in Yuexiu Mountain.
Zhu Youlang clearly knew that Sanqian Camp had rebelled, so why did he still want to watch them perform martial arts?
Because Tong Yangjia has no evidence of rebellion.
The main clues about Tong Yangjia’s rebellion so far still come from Yang Huiyi.
But in recent times, Yang Huiyi has not made any other moves, and Tong Yangjia is also honest and has not allowed Huang Zongxi to obtain any evidence.
As the emperor, it is not a word that Zhu Youlang wants to kill who he wants to kill? Why do you still need to find evidence of his rebellion?
But Zhu Youlang did not want to be a reputation of "killing without counsel", not to mention that Tong Yangjia is not only a senior official of the Ministry of War, but also represents the surrender of the generals. He killed him without real evidence, and he is afraid that everyone will be in danger of surrendering the generals.
Jirgalang is about to lead his troops to the city, and it is time for the pus to squeeze out.
So, Zhu Youlang wanted to take risks with his own life and see if Tong Yangjia would launch a mutiny?
Zhu Youlang believes that Tong Yangjia will not miss this opportunity.
Of course, if he did not launch a mutiny, Zhu Youlang would also find excuses to take him and Tian Chengxing.
Calling Qian Qianyi, Zhu Youlang has another bad taste, that is, he wants to see what Qian Qianyi looks like at that time. Will he be afraid?
...
Tong Mansion.
An eunuch stood facing south and read the imperial edict loudly. Tong Yangjia, the Minister of War, knelt down to receive it.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: I will watch the 3,000-bat martial arts performance in Zhenhailou tomorrow, and Tong Yangjia, the Minister of War, accompanied him to protect him. I will be here."
"I will receive the order, long live my emperor!" Tong Yangjia kowtowed to the mountain and shouted long live, and then took over the order.
After getting up, he gave the eunuch ten taels of silver to the eunuch. The eunuch said thanking and leaving.
After the eunuch passed away, Tong Yangjia was happy and said to himself: "Yongli, Yongli, you are really looking for death! You can't find the opportunity to kill you, you actually came to your door. God is really helping me!"
Tong Yangjia immediately ordered the housekeeper to go and pass on Tian Chengxing: "Hurry up, find Tian Chengxing and Manager Zhao."
The housekeeper agreed to go.
Tong Yangjia paced back and forth excitedly in the study, thinking: "This opportunity is so rare. As long as you take down Zhu Youlang, it can be considered a great achievement. Will the court give me a title of prince? It is very likely, very likely."
When Tong Yangjia thought of the emperor, he felt very sorry: "Oh, Your Majesty, don't blame me. In fact, you treat me very well and gave me great trust. If there is a way, I will not betray you. But I really have no way."
Tong Yangjia's inner monologue was indeed his true feelings.
He was grateful to Zhu Youlang and admired him very much.
After the Battle of Zhangzhou, Tong Yangjia was entrusted with the important task of admiral of Fujian. Not only did he personally appreciate Zhu Youlang's talent and wisdom, but he also supported Zhu Youlang's series of innovative measures and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Especially in the process of transforming the prisoners of Qing soldiers, Chen Bowen, Su Sheng and others explained the "people-oriented" and the new land policy in great detail, which had a great impact on his mind.
At that time, he believed that Zhu Youlang would definitely be able to achieve the revival of the Ming Dynasty. He also made up his mind to follow Zhu Youlang to do a great cause.
However, in May last year, he was just promoted to Assistant Minister of War, and the visit of a mysterious figure completely shattered his dreams.
The mysterious figure was sent by Hong Chengchou and brought two letters.
One is a handwritten letter from the clan nephew Tong Tulai.
In the letter, Tong Tulai told him that the Tong clan was highly valued by Prince Su and the Empress Dowager. Tong Tulai himself was named the third-class son, and his daughter had been elected to the palace and was named the Little Mission.
In addition, Tong Tulai also told him that his parents, wives and children were all in Beijing and lived well, and the court did not punish him.
There is another letter written by his son Tong Zhaonian.
The letter told the story of the farewell scene, saying that they were in their hometown in Fushun, and that Tong Tulai was ordered by the court to take the whole family to Beijing. He also said that his grandfather, grandmother and mother missed him very much and were looking forward to his return as soon as possible. He also said that his grandmother thought of him so much that she often cried, and her eyes were broken.
After receiving these two letters, Tong Yangjia completely collapsed.
Although there was no word from the two letters that threatened or persuaded him to surrender, how could he not know the meaning of it? The Qing court used his whole family as a hostage.
If you hear the arrangements of the person, the family will be glorious; if you don’t hear the arrangements of the person, the whole family will die.
It's that simple.
In the end, the loyalty to the emperor that had just been established was still not as good as the nostalgia for family affection.
"What do you want me to do?" Tong Yangjia asked the person who came.
"Mr. Hong gives you two missions. First, find a way to instigate an army loyal to the Qing Dynasty in Guangzhou to wait for the opportunity; second, cooperate with me to approach Zhu Youlang and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him." The visitor said.
"The military matter is not difficult. I can transfer my original personal military camp to Guangzhou in the name of rebuilding the Three Thousand Battalions. But it is too difficult for you to approach the emperor and wait for an opportunity to assassinate it? I'm afraid I can't help any more." Tong Yangjia said.
"You can help. It's not me who carried out this plan, I'm just a servant. Let me tell you the truth, we are going to use a beauty plan against the Dog Emperor, and the protagonist of this plan is not someone else, but Ge Ge."
"Ah? Gege Qi? Princess Hui'an? The No. 1 Beauty in the Qing Dynasty?"
