On the ninth day of June, Wang Aoyong, the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, and Fang Dayou, the deputy envoy of the Supervisory Army, returned to Beijing.
On this trip, they were ordered by the regent Dorgon to appease Shandong.
The two of them originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off, use their sharp tongue to appease various prefectures and counties in Qilu, and earn a good impression in front of their new master, but unexpectedly things turned out to be quite twisty.
Wang Aoyong originally thought that Chongzhen hanged himself at Meishan, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the Qing government entered the pass with thunderous force to control Jifu.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the situation clearly.
And as long as he lobbied all the way, he could easily get the prefectures and counties in Shandong to plant the flag of the Qing court.
But unexpectedly, when they arrived outside Dezhou City, they found that the city gate was closed.
It seemed that the people in the city had been prepared.
Wang Aoyong then ordered people to tie a letter of persuasion to surrender on an arrow and shoot it into the city, hoping that the people who actually controlled the city would understand the current situation and surrender Dezhou to the Qing court.
But who knew that the other party ignored him at all and had no intention of negotiating at all.
This made Wang Aoyong furious.
After all, he was also the Minister of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works appointed by the regent of the Qing Dynasty.
He was a high-ranking official and the special envoy responsible for recruitment matters in Shandong.
If the other party doesn't give him face, he doesn't give the Qing court face.
If he goes against him, he goes against the Qing court.
At that time, Wang Aoyong wanted to immediately send someone to inform the regent Dorgon and request the Qing government to send troops from Beijing to attack, capture Dezhou by force and massacre the city as a demonstration.
However, this idea was dissuaded by Fang Dayou, deputy envoy of the Supervisory Army, as soon as it came up.
Fang Dayou's reason is simple.
The two of them are surrendered ministers.
If they want to gain the trust of the Qing court, they must perform hard.
If you immediately move your troops when you encounter a slight setback, your ability will appear to be extremely mediocre.
Fang Dayou woke up the dreamer with something, and Wang Aoyong quickly said that not only could they not move troops immediately, but they would also have to go to several more cities to impress the Qing court that they were fulfilling their duties.
After they left Dezhou, they went to Wucheng, Linqing, and Guantao.
Without exception, these cities closed their gates tightly and refused to have any contact with the Qing government officials.
Now Wang Aoyong firmly believed that this was no coincidence.
After some inquiring, he learned that it turned out that the Jin gentry in Dezhou had appointed Zhu Shuaiqin, the clan member of the clan, as the King of Ji, and called on the Jin gentry from all over Shandong to rebel.
For a time, all the officials of the Shun Dynasty in all prefectures and counties in Qilu were captured, and Shandong returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty in name.
Down.
Of course, only in name.
Wang Aoyong knew that the uprisings in various places in Shandong were only some Jin gentry, and there was no military support.
The reason why the officials appointed by the Shun Dynasty were easily captured was because they had no soldiers.
It seems that the land of Shandong is actually in a state of absolute military emptiness.
It is nothing more than the Jin gentry temporarily leaning towards the Ming court.
Without the military garrison, the enthusiasm of the Shandong Jin gentry would not last long.
As the saying goes, the king's flag changes at the top of the city.
These gentry are the least likely to joke about their family's fate.
At this time, as long as the regent sends a partial army, he can easily take over Shandong.
Wherever the Manchu soldiers went, the city gates would be opened wide to welcome the Eight Banners King's troops.
After returning to the capital after this investigation, the Qing court would not think that the two of them were perfunctory, but would instead reward them for their active efforts in spying on intelligence.
From the moment they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou knew that they had no way out.
After the generals are surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they may still have a chance to fight, because they have soldiers in their hands.
Anyway, the decline will be beneficial to the Ming court.
But not civil servants.
They have no soldiers in their hands, even if they have no soldiers, they will not be of any benefit to the Ming court anyway.
Therefore, once the civil servants surrender to the Qing Dynasty, there is only one way to go to the dark side.

Fortunately, the Qing government now occupies Jifu and Henan, and has a tendency to capture Shanxi and gain a glimpse of Guanzhong.
Those who win Guanzhong will win the world.
As long as the Qing government wins Guanzhong, it will have no worries and can freely deal with the small court of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou firmly believed that the weak small court of the Can Ming Dynasty was by no means an opponent of the Qing court.
At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, and the power of the whole country was not enough to defeat the Qing Dynasty, which was only in a corner of Liaodong.
Now only half of the country is left, how can it resist the attack of the Manchu soldiers?
The two believed that it was only a matter of time before the Qing court destroyed the small court of the Ming Dynasty and established the world.
The two of them wanted to help the Qing court tame Kyushu in a shorter period of time.
Taking Shandong is the first step.
As literati, they know very well that history books are written by the victors.
What is the settlement of the surrender?
As long as the Qing court wins the world in the end, they will be the ministers with meritorious service.
Although the credit is not as good as that of the old man who surrendered during the Liaodong period, at least having an official position is better than mourning the death of Lao Zhu's family.
Those who understand current affairs are heroes, and the Qing government will not treat them badly.
As for the transformation from scholar-bureaucrats to slaves after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they didn't care.
Only by being a slave can you get high positions, great salary, glory and wealth.
Only fools will not do it.
The reason why the world now thinks they are inferior is because the residual light in the south is still there.
When the Qing Dynasty destroyed Can Ming, everyone in the world became slaves.
If everyone works as slaves for the master, the two of them will not look dazzling.
In order to turn everyone in the world into slaves of the Qing court as soon as possible, Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou did not bother to rest after returning to the capital, and immediately entered the palace to see the regent.
Dorgon heard that Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou had returned to the capital, and was eager to understand the situation in Shandong, so he summoned them at the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou entered the palace, they pushed up the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar and performed a great ceremony, shouting: "My slave Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou pay greetings to the regent."
Seeing the two of them kneeling on the ground respectfully, Dorgon raised his hand proudly: "Get up and answer."
Wang and Fang were overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
"Let's talk about it, how is the situation of recruiting Shandong this time?"
Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou looked at each other, cleared their throats and said, "To inform the Prince Regent, I am going to Shandong this time.
The gates of all the prefectures and counties I visit are closed, so I am not allowed to enter."
Seeing Dorgon frowning, Wang Aoyong hurriedly said: "The slave inquired about it.
Recently, the Dezhou Jin gentry supported the pseudo-Ming clan Zhu Shuaiqin, pretending to be the king of Ji, and called on the Shandong Jin gentry to execute the pseudo-obedient officials and implement autonomy.
The slave thought that the reason why they did not The reason for opening the city gate is to wait for the Ming court to send troops to take over."
"Oh" Dorgon's face turned slightly bright: "You mean there are no Ming troops stationed in Shandong now."
"What the prince said is absolutely true," Wang Aoyong said happily: "I am sure that Shandong is very empty now, otherwise the pseudo-Ming clan would not be able to watch me swagger by.
If he had some soldiers and horses in his hands, he would have ordered people to rush out and capture them.
The slave is asking for credit from the Can Ming court."
Dorgon thought about it carefully and felt that what this slave said made sense.
Wang Aoyong and his party only numbered more than 200 people, and Zhu Shuaiqin did not dare to send people out of the city to arrest them.
If you are so afraid, you must have no soldiers in your hands.
However, this person is from the Ming Dynasty clan and still has a certain appeal.
Judging from his performance, it doesn't look like he wants to surrender the city to the Qing Dynasty.
It would be better to eliminate them as soon as possible.
It would be bad if it were allowed to form, or if the Ming army reinforced by the south took over Shandong.
