Chapter 159 The emperor and Huang are the leaders of the alliance
Kill local officials to extort money and food!
Kill the military attache to seize his officers and soldiers!
…
Now the only thing missing is that there are no impeachments such as robbing civilian women and killing good people while taking merit.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the invasion of Donglu and the blockage of the north-south post road, it is estimated that the articles to impeach Prince De for his arrogance and domineering would be like raindrops. At least there are at least a hundred articles from the Nanjing Sixth Department to impeach him for killing officials and extorting money and food.
It's just that unlike Shi Kefa, they can send messengers to the capital. Therefore, not many people in the capital know how arrogant and domineering Dezi is.
When the central official read out the secret details of Shi Kefa's impeachment, Xue Guoguan and other cabinet ministers all looked shocked.
Killing the magistrate to extort money and food is nonsense. You don’t even need to think about it. They all know why Taoyuan County died!
The local co-organizer has always been able to delay the money and food for the guest army, and he can drag others. How could the prince who grew up in the palace tolerate being so "bullied"? If this lawsuit reaches the court, it is a lot of nonsense.
, but the civil servants will definitely share the same hatred.
But now, kill the generals and seize the military power!
Even if Liu Liangzuo escaped first, he couldn't be killed at will, and military power couldn't be seized at will!
Moreover, they later killed one out of ten and beheaded more than 3,000 deserters.
"The Huaihe River will run out..."
Although this sounds too exaggerated, the ice is so thick, how could the river water be red?
But the forest of guns hanging for tens of miles, this scene, even just thinking about it, makes them tremble with fear.
This Prince De is too ruthless!
"My lord, I believe that in troubled times, heavy rituals should be used. Now that the Eastern invaders have invaded thousands of miles away, they have entered the important territory of the South. Prince De, who is killing like this, is also following the example of his second ancestor. As the saying goes, kindness cannot control the army. Otherwise, how can the army be powerful...
…”
Although he was horrified in his heart, facing such impeachment, his reason told Xue Guoguan that now was not the time to cause trouble.
Killing is like the second ancestor... Even the second ancestor's rebirth is nothing more than this!
Staring at the ministers, especially Xue Guoguan, Chongzhen looked a little unhappy.
Killing like the second ancestor... This sentence sounds extremely harsh.
Zhu Ciying is like the second ancestor, what about me?
Is it possible that, in your eyes, Xue Guoguan, Zhu Ciying looks like the second ancestor, and I am not the descendant of the second ancestor? Don’t I know this truth that Ci does not control the army? But every time I am punished by the canon, you are the same
Everyone stood up and opposed it!
When the anger in Chongzhen's heart became stronger and stronger, he heard Yao Minggong say loudly.
"I was surprised by what the first assistant said. Although it is said in the art of war that kindness cannot command troops, Prince De first set up a killing power to gain money and food, and then killed the generals to seize the troops and seize the military power. Such a disobedient heart is clearly revealed.
Isn’t it just for the sake of military prestige? In my opinion, what Zhu Ciying, the virtuous prince, did was completely disobedient and should be severely punished!"
As soon as Yao Minggong finished speaking, Zhang Sizhi, holding a wat tablet, bowed hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I think that the so-called disloyalty is just other people's lies. We are in the capital and cannot listen to partial beliefs. Your Majesty may wish to issue an order to Prince De to inquire about this matter. You may also send a lieutenant to supervise the army.
Now that the Donglu invaders have invaded, how can the imperial court change its generals on the spot..."
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be delayed!"
Before Zhang Sizhi finished speaking, Yao Minggong spoke urgently again.
"Your Majesty, what the Nanjing History Department is worried about is whether Zhu Ciying will kill generals and seize troops again on the pretext of desertion and rout. At present, more than 100,000 troops have been gathered in Zhongdu, and Governor Hong has also led 100,000 troops to pursue Dongfang.
If he is allowed to kill the generals and seize the troops without asking any questions. If he is allowed to act boldly, I am afraid that all the best soldiers in the world will be Zhu Ciying!"
Yao Minggong's words fell into Chongzhen's ears, and his heart suddenly froze. Being suspicious, he immediately said.
"We must not allow him to kill generals and seize troops again. This matter must be dealt with strictly!"
His Majesty's decision made everyone's expressions change slightly, and their hearts were all worried for Prince De. Xue Guoguan, as the chief minister, bowed again.
"Then what should we do with Prince De?"
"Your Majesty, I think I can order Zhu Ciying to hand over the military power to the deputy general, and then order him to go back to Jinan to confine himself to reflect on his mistakes..."
"Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate to have a high wall in the central capital..."
…
Almost immediately after Chongzhen made the decision to deal with Prince De, someone still left the capital with nine closed gates. However, that person was not going south, but rushing north. It was only a few seconds.
Queen of Heaven, Huang Taiji, who was in the big tent on the Jinzhou front line, learned the news.
"Hmph, this Emperor Chongzhen is really very suspicious. He neither trusts his ministers nor his clan members. After so many years, he managed to find a talented clan member. However, after finding an excuse, he immediately took away his throne.
military power!"
When Huang Taiji said this, he obviously forgot how he tried every possible means to seize Dorgon's military power. Even deep down, Huang Taiji, who felt that he was constrained by the meeting of kings and ministers, felt extremely depressed.
To aspire to be like the emperor of the Southern Dynasties, and to seize the military power from Prince De, all it takes is an imperial edict. But like him, one needs to do everything possible to find excuses and reduce the military power bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Southern Dynasty's strength has indeed been exhausted. If Southern Zhili can be wiped out this time and the Southern Dynasty loses the tax source of Southern Zhili, it is estimated that in three to five years at most, we, the Qing Dynasty, will definitely be able to take over the Central Plains!
"
As soon as Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji shook his head and said.
"Mr. Fan is surprised by what he said. Although the Southern Dynasty seems to have exhausted its power, it is still the orthodoxy of the world. Even if it corrupts the Southern Zhili, it will only make it unable to fight with the Qing Dynasty. As long as it retreats to Shanhaiguan, the Qing Dynasty will think
It is still extremely difficult to conquer the Central Plains."
Compared to Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji appears extremely calm.
"After this corruption of Nanzhi, what our Qing Dynasty needs is to take the opportunity to negotiate peace with it. If my predictions are correct, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely be willing to negotiate for peace by then. He will first buy ten years for our Qing Dynasty to recuperate. With these ten years
By that time, it is estimated that regardless of other things, the original Han people in Liaodong and the Han people plundered in recent years can almost all be incorporated into the Eight Banners. Only then will the Qing Dynasty have the opportunity to take over China, and even together with these
The people who enter the customs and are looted for the first time can also be used by our Qing Dynasty if they have ten years to educate them."
Thinking of the possible gains from entering the customs this time, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and asked.
"Mr. Fan, how possible do you think Fan Yongdou's plan is?"
Once again, Huang Taiji thought of the plan proposed by Fan Yongdou.
"Back to the Emperor, didn't Prince Tianrui send someone a letter a few days ago to say that the matter has been accomplished and all that is left is for Fan Yongdou to act according to his plan!"
After that, Fan Wencheng looked at the emperor and said softly.
Chapter completed!
