Chapter 728 Yue Le's good deeds
"Master, never!"
Sony and Oboi were so shocked that they were about to fly away. Guan Xiaozhong and Ma Fengzhi had more than 10,000 soldiers in their hands. Now one led the troops to recover lost territory in order to seek merits and atone for their sins; the other resisted the snares in Chongming to show loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. At this moment, Shunzhi wanted to issue an order to arrest the two of them, but the consequences were unimaginable. You must know that Zheng Sen's army did not leave!
Sony was not worried that Guan Qizhen would rebel. If he wanted to rebel, he would have rebeled long ago, because Guan Qizhen's family was in the capital. But Ma Fengzhi asked for a decree to take his family to Su Song as early as the beginning of the year. Without the worries of his family, he really knew that the court wanted to kill him, and he could still wait and see as before and not rebel?
Even Ma Fengzhi did not dare to raise the flag to rebel, but as long as he gave up Chongming and allowed the siege to take root in Haikou, he would be like a sharp thrust in Jiangnan. The war in Jiangnan would never end! The Jiangnan was injustice for a day, and the Qing Dynasty could not collect money and grain in one day. Without the money, grain and taxes in Jiangnan, what would the Qing Dynasty use to deal with the Guangdong bandits going north? The treasury is now empty, not much worse than the previous Ming Chongzhen!
Jiangnan needs fast stability now, what is needed is to restore order as soon as possible, and the money, grain and taxes that can be collected immediately, so Sony advocates to appease Jiangnan, and those officials and gentry who are in pirates can temporarily let them go and settle accounts with them later. But the master spoke to capture Guan Qizhen and Ma Fengzhi, who holds heavy troops. If this matter is not done well, it will cause a major change and allow Jiangnan's decay to continue. This is what Sony is most reluctant to happen.
Oboi was both worried that Guan Xiaozhen was actively leading troops to recover lost territory at the moment, which was nothing more than trying to redeem his sins in exchange for leniency from the court. However, his master, Xinzheku, was destined to be a slave to Guan Xiaozhen, and his loyalty ended up worse than death. By then, not only will the male descendants be slaves from generation to generation, but his wife and daughter will become his subordinates. If he wants to be a tool, can he really bear such a shame?
Guan Qizhong is a powerful general. Although he was defeated in Guazhou and the generals, this man could still fight. Although Liang Huafeng robbed the first prize in Jiangning, if there was no cooperation from Guan Qizhong, Liang Huafeng could turn the tide with his own strength?
It is better to use his mistakes than to make a mistake. Although Guan Qizhong was a serious crime of losing 4,000 children from Manzhou Province, he defended Jiangning and repelled the siege, and did not show his intention to surrender from beginning to end. This shows his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. Oboi believed that Guan Qizhong should be pardoned and given him a chance, rather than giving him severe punishment, because the Han army flag is very important to the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that since the Taizu's uprising, the Qing Dynasty has never relied on the Han army as it is now.
In the past two years, Oboi has been calculating accounts and counting human life. Since the rise of Guangdong bandits in Guangdong, too many children in Manzhou have been killed. First, Hahamu has ruined more than 2,400 children in Manzhou in Guangzhou; then Jidu has ruined more than 2,000 children in Manzhou in Huizhou; followed by the Battle of Mopanshan and more than 3,000 children in Manzhou; Roto has ruined more than 1,000 children in Manzhou in Guangxi; in the Battle of Zhenjiang a month ago, more than 4,000 children in Manzhou have died. In these battles, nearly 5,000 children in Manzhou have been killed, and the deaths of the Mongolian and Han troops have been several times greater.
The casualties were too great, so great that the Eight Banners of Manchus could no longer bear it. At present, except for the 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian children in Yunnan, there were the 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who were personally expeditioned by Shunzhi. Apart from this, there was no other place in the Qing Dynasty that could mobilize more than a thousand Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. The situation was very dangerous and very dangerous. If the children of Manchus continued to suffer casualties like this, the Qing Dynasty would no longer be the Qing Dynasty in Manchus!
Obai was very sober. Although everyone in Manzhou said that Obai was a rough man and a martial artist, he could settle accounts better than anyone else.
Earlier, Fan Wencheng wrote a letter to Shunzhi, saying that he would raise the flag on a large scale to the Han army. Although Shunzhi did not agree to this, Oboi kept remembering this matter, thinking that Fan Wencheng's method was good and could alleviate the problem of insufficient military strength of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. He believed that once the Han army was carried into the Eight Banners of Manzhou, they would be the people of Manzhou, and there was no need to worry that these Han troops would cut off the foundation of Manzhou. As long as the Qing Dynasty still maintained the Manchu system to control the Mongolian and Han Dynasty and maintained the privileges of the Eight Banners of Manzhou, Manzhou would always be Manzhou.
Oboi concluded that even though tens of thousands of Han troops were now carried into the Eight Banners of Manzhou, these Han troops would not only serve as a man of Manzhou, but also regard themselves as Manzhou people, and their descendants would also regard themselves as Manzhou. They would even be proud of the name of Manzhou and would also transfer the dead Han ancestors to Manzhou.
Oboi, who had this view, naturally attached importance to the Han army and also appreciated the Han army generals who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Guan Qizhong was a general he admired very much, and Oboi was still willing to protect him.
Oboi knelt in front of Shunzhi and kowtowed hard, saying to his master the consequences of arresting Guan Yizhen and Ma Fengzhi, pointing out that these people are very important to the Qing Dynasty at the moment, and asking the master to hold back his anger and punish them after Jiangnan has been completely pacified. With this buffer, Oboi believes that he can escape from Guan Yizhen at that time.
Sony also let go of the dispute with Oboi and persuaded his master not to act irritably. Bahana had never thought that the killing and killing were inappropriate, and there was something wrong with the two internal ministers, but after hearing the two ministers said that, he knew that this matter was a bit too hasty, so he knelt down to persuade him.
Shunzhi did not listen to the advice of the slaves, and only wanted to capture Ma Fengzhi, who was defeated by the thief, and lost his 4,000 men of Manzhou. Otherwise, the anger in his heart would be hard to extricate. When he had to report that more than 100,000 troops of the pirates entered the Yangtze River and surrounded Nanjing City, Shunzhi was so scared that he almost wanted to make an excuse for his beloved concubine Dong E to worsen his condition. If he hadn't been able to let go of his face, he would have been no longer in Jining, but in the Forbidden City. He was not scared to retreat on the spot, but for half a month later, he slowed down his speed of going south by the excuse of not collecting the army and not saving local food and grass. Although no one of the ministers dared to point out that the emperor was afraid, Shunzhi knew it himself, so he became more and more angry with Guan Feizhi and Ma Fengzhi. If it weren't for these two people, how could he be so embarrassing?
Seeing that his master insisted on doing it, Oboi had no choice, so he said, "The master did not give Guan Qizhong an edict to arrest Guan Qizhong and let him capture Ma Fengzhi. Then he issued a hand edict to Liang Huafeng, asking him to wait until Guan Qizhong resolved Ma Fengzhi and then he would find an opportunity to arrest Guan Qizhong and Jiang Guozhu, so that he would not be afraid."
Sony and Bahana also agreed with Oboi’s meaning. Although this method is risky, it is the most appropriate.
“That’s good.”
Shunzhi thought about it, nodded, and casually ordered Bahana: "I drafted an order, Liang Huafeng was awarded the third-class Adahahafan, and was appointed as the prince's Taibao, the left governor, and promoted to Admiral Susong, and was given golden armor and sable fur."
"twitter!"
Bahana responded and wanted to draft the order. Before the people had even left the tent, the first guard Fei Yanggu ran in panting and shouted loudly: "Emperor, Guangdong Admiral Tang Sanshui reported urgently that Nanchang fell, Governor Zhang Chaolin, Zuogong Tong Fengcai and others died in the country. Jiangxi Province has been asked to occupy all the Guangdong bandits!"
"What? Jiangxi is lost!"
