At this time, Liaodong was already covered in silver and a vast expanse of white.
On the Jianlu side, there was simply no manpower to clear the official roads covered with snow, so it was difficult to travel at this time!
A row of war horses walked in front of them, one foot deep and one foot shallow, exploring the official road covered by snow. Occasionally, the horses deviated from the official road and stepped into the ditch beside the official road, but they were not completely trapped.
, that is, a person is thrown off his back.
Prince Heshuoli, Aixinjueluo Daishan, naturally could not go in front, but moved forward according to the path opened by his personal guards.
Even so, he couldn't help but said with emotion to Hong Chengchou beside him: "Ah, I am old, otherwise, why should I move so slowly!"
Older age means that the bones have not been broken. If the horse stumbles, it may cause damage to the muscles and bones.
"What did the prince say? This is a good thing!" When Hong Chengchou heard this, he quickly responded, "Even if Lian Po is here, he must be willing to be defeated!"
"Hahaha..." When Dai Shan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh immediately. It was really comfortable to walk with Hong Chengchou. The flattery without trace, not the kind of naked flattery, always made him very happy.
The intelligence of this Han man is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even if he is a flatterer!
After laughing, Daishan still shook his head and said: "I am getting old after all. I have only been away for more than half a year now, and I am homesick and want to return to Shengjing as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou pointed forward with his hand and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are getting closer and closer to Shengjing. Our speed will be accelerated a lot, and we will reach Shengjing soon."
"Oh, why did you say that?" Daishan asked a little doubtfully after hearing this.
Although it is not snowing now, the roads are still covered with snow. How can we speed up?
"Your Majesty, there must be traces on the official roads near Shengjing, so there is no need to proceed with such caution." Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou hurriedly explained.
When Daishan heard this, he immediately patted his forehead, shook his head with a smile and said, "Look, I even said that I am old, and I have forgotten this!"
If the original historical development were to follow, not only would he be old, but he would also die soon. Of course, at this time, Daishan didn't know at all, he just felt that his health was getting worse and worse.
Just as Hong Chengchou expected, when he was still more than ten miles away from Shengjing, he saw traces of people on the official road and in the fields. When he was only about five miles away from Shengjing, he also encountered a group of exploring horses.
When he saw the city wall of Shengjing, Daishan said with emotion: "This old king, I finally lived up to the trust of the regent and came back!"
Having said this, he turned to look at Hong Chengchou and said sincerely: "You have done a lot to achieve such a great harvest from this trip. Don't worry, I will not break my promise!"
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he quickly rolled off his saddle and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, threw off his horse sleeve, and said to Daishan, "The merit of this trip is all due to the king's strategizing. I dare not take the credit!"
"Hahaha..." Seeing that he was so good at talking, Dai Shan couldn't help laughing again. After a while, he told Hong Chengchou: "Get up, let's go see the regent. I believe the regent will be very happy!"
This time on my mission to Japan, I gained a lot unexpectedly, much better than originally expected. Dorgon will definitely be pleasantly surprised when he finds out!
To be honest, at this time, Daishan suddenly wanted to see how excited Dorgon would be after knowing this harvest!
The shadow of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty should be reduced, right?
With this thought in mind, he urged his war horse and headed towards Shengjing.
Before he arrived at the palace, he saw the regent Dorgon leading Duduo to greet him. He started to say hello from afar, and he was a little excited. He was really like a brother who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Of course, they are indeed brothers, just half-mother. However, their relationship could never have been so good in the past.
In this regard, Dai Shan knew very well that the pressure brought by the appearance of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was too great, forcing the brothers to unite sincerely.
Without waiting for Dorgon to ask questions, Daishan smiled and said to him: "This trip to the Japanese country has finally fulfilled its mission, and there is an unexpected surprise!"
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly took Daishan's hand and said, "Okay, it's really hard work. It's too cold here. Let's go into the palace to talk."
Then, he added: "I also have good news here, please go to the temple to tell me!"
When Daishan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious. There was still good news in Liaodong. What was it?
Gujing
Seeing Dorgon's happy face, it seems that this good news is not a trivial matter!
Thinking about it this way, he became even more curious, what kind of good news would it be?
However, at this time, Daishan did not forget Hong Chengchou, and immediately turned to call Hong Chengchou and asked him to go to Chongzheng Hall to discuss matters.
When they arrived at Chongzheng Hall, the young emperor Fulin also came to greet him at the entrance of the hall, and they exchanged pleasantries again.
Behind the little emperor Fulin is Bumubutai. She has nothing to say about the intrigues. It is necessary to have a good relationship with Daishan. Only Daishan has the qualifications to check and balance the regent.
Dorgon.
Therefore, the little emperor Fulin followed his mother's instructions and greeted Daishan for a while. After a long time, the actual discussion began.
I saw Daishan carefully take out something from his arms, then walked forward, spread it on the table in front of Dorgon, and said at the same time: "This time I went to the Japanese country, I fulfilled my mission, and finally made peace with you."
The Japanese have formed an alliance to fight against the imperial court together. Moreover, there is an unexpected surprise, just wait and see!"
As he spoke, he tapped a place on the covenant with his hand, which was Zheng Yiguan's name.
This covenant was written in Japanese, Chinese and Manchu. Dorgon could not understand Japanese, but Chinese and Manchu were naturally no problem.
Just by looking at him, he was a little confused and immediately asked: "Who is this Zheng Yiguan?"
It’s just a name, but it’s on the same level as the Qing Empire and the Japanese Empire. What on earth is going on?
It would be strange if Dorgon wasn't surprised by this.
After Daishan heard this, he immediately laughed silently, and then answered him: "This Zheng Yiguan is Zheng Zhilong, who is currently the Denglai Navy of the Ming Dynasty...the chief soldier of the Denglai Navy."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Chongzheng Hall, except for the young emperor Fulin, looked at each other. For a moment, they were a little confused about what this covenant was about.
Of course Daishan knew that without explanation, Dorgon would definitely find it difficult to understand, so he listed Zheng Zhilong's power, including his rampage on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty, the influence of the Japanese country, and how the Ming emperor treated Zheng Zhilong.
Everything was said once.
His narration made everyone in the Chongzheng Hall, except for the young emperor Fulin and Hong Chengchou who knew about it, all dumbfounded.
I really never expected that there would be such a powerful person! No wonder, this name can be compared with the Qing Empire and the Japanese Kingdom. Because this name actually represents a kingdom on the sea. In short, he is the King of the Sea.
!
Later, Daishan reminded Dorgon: "He is now the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and he has not exposed his rebellion. At the critical moment when our coalition forces with the Japanese country are about to fight the decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, suddenly someone behind us
When the main force of the country is stabbed, the fate of the country changes. With this secret chess, the coalition will win!"
Dorgon was filled with joy when he heard this and nodded repeatedly. Then he immediately remembered something and immediately glanced at everyone in the hall. Finally, he looked at Hong Chengchou and spoke to everyone: "This matter is of great importance. No one is allowed to leak it, otherwise the family will be confiscated and the clan will be destroyed."
!”
At this time, in the Chongzheng Hall, there were Bumu Butai, the young emperor Fulin, Daishan, Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and Dorgon himself, in addition to a few maids and chambermaids.
It is impossible for him to say this to a person named Aisin Gioro, otherwise, if he confiscates his family and exterminates his clan, he will also exterminate himself.
When Daishan heard what he said, he immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "By the way, this alliance was only possible because of Hengjiu's credit!"
Hengjiu is the name of Hong Chengchou. It can be seen that Hong Chengchou has won the heart of Daishan.
Seeing Dorgon and others looking at him, Daishan continued: "At the beginning, the shogunate in power of the Japanese country did not want to form an alliance with our Qing Empire. It was Hengjiu who came up with a way to force the shogunate.
The general never denied it, and it was only after Zheng Yiguan arrived in Japan that the alliance finally came to fruition!"
Before Dorgon could speak, he continued: "Also, Heng Jiu was worried about the lack of supplies in the Qing Dynasty and reminded me about the mutual trade with Zheng Yiguan. Now we have made an agreement and we will talk about it later. In addition,
We have also negotiated mutual trade with Japan."
When he said this, Daishan took out another thing from his arms and spread it on the table.
Dorgon hurriedly looked at it and found that it was indeed some rules for trade with the Japanese country. It greatly supplemented the supplies that the Qing Empire was in urgent need of. He couldn't help but be very happy. This is really a good thing!
This Hong Chengchou actually devoted himself wholeheartedly to making suggestions for the Qing Dynasty. He deserves a reward!
At this time, Dorgon of course also saw that Daishan's words were obviously asking for credit for Hong Chengchou.
In the past, senior officials of the Ming Dynasty like Hong Chengchou, whether it was Huang Taiji or Dorgon, were on guard against Jianlu. But now, Dorgon was relieved and suggested on the spot that he
Hong Chengchou raised the flag and was awarded the title of bachelor.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou originally had to wait until 1652 to join the banner. Because of his own efforts and betrayal, he finally won the trust of the Jianqi and joined the banner early.
After Daishan finished talking about his side of things, he asked Dorgon with some curiosity: "Just now you said that you also have good news here, I wonder what the good news is?"
