Dealing with the Manchus, Zhao Ming thought that if he was to outperform him in manpower and material resources, and then restrict the Manchus from obtaining advanced firearms from the Dutch and Spaniards, he would be able to defeat the Manchus sooner or later.But now it seems that not everything in this world will develop in the direction that Zhao Ming expects.Zhao Ming intended to drive the Netherlands and Spain out of Southeast Asia, but in order to maintain maritime trade and cultivate the handicraft industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if he knew that the Dutch were colluding with the Manchus, he could not go to war openly, and could only try to play yin.And the game between the two countries, between the two major forces, each has its own means, and it will not be just as one side wants.Zhao Ming talked with his subordinates and predicted the strategy adopted by the Manchus, first of all, the strategy of using the Han to control the Han, which would definitely be further implemented in order to give full play to the real strength of the Manchu-controlled areas and mobilize more resources to invest in the Ming and Qing disputes, and secondly, the Manchu Qing would continue to strengthen cooperation with the Netherlands and Spain in order to obtain advanced firearms.Zhao Ming understood these two points, so he decided to make a move, and from these two points to contain and encircle the Manchus.As for the rebellion against the Green Battalion and the attack on Luzon, it will definitely not be able to completely contain the Manchus, because the Manchus will not stand still and let Zhao Ming make a move, and Dolgon will definitely take action to maintain the strategy implemented by the Manchus, and even analyze the weaknesses of Donghai Town and the Ming Dynasty, and attack, and at the same time encircle the direction of the development of the Ming Dynasty and sabotage the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.It's like a game of Go, you break me, I block you, both sides are changing, and they will make amends after being attacked, as for the final result, it is not something that can be seen at the moment.Zhao Ming pondered for a while, "For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let's discuss it here today."
Ben Shuai means that first of all, we must restore our strength, support the soldiers, recruit soldiers to make up for the shortfall, and restore our own combat strength.Then starting from two aspects, one is that the Heaven and Earth Society sent Xizuo to the north, in the territory controlled by the Manchus, to rebel against the Green Camp generals, and create contradictions between the Manchus and Hans, so that the Manchus could not make full use of China's strength.The second is to try to cut off the Manchu Qing's ties with the Netherlands and Spain, and even if it cannot be completely blocked, it is necessary to do its best to interfere with and sabotage it.Today is just a small talk, everyone think about it, and in a few days, we will discuss a specific strategy. ”When many staff members heard this, they bowed their heads one after another, and Ma Shiao saluted: "I know that my humble position is coming!"
”After speaking, he arched his hand and asked, "Then what about Fu Shangrui?"
”Zhao Ming frowned, Fu Shangrui was the governor sent by the imperial court, and Zhao Ming couldn't put up a big banner to rebel against the imperial court, doing it too fiercely was tantamount to turning his face with the imperial court and exposing his ambitions in advance, the imperial court would not allow him, it would affect the anti-Qing united front, and if he didn't fight back, Fu Shangrui and the imperial court would definitely kick their noses in the face.For Zhao Ming, this Fu Shangrui is very eye-catching, Zhao Ming refused the court's reward, that is, to retreat as advance, hoping that the court could get him away, but I don't know if it was because of the fierce war in Huguang or the road blockage, there has been no news from the court so far, which makes him extremely disappointed.Zhao Ming will not give up Su Songchang's military and political power, which is his capital to reform society in the future, so Zhao Ming decided that even if the court does not know each other, he still wants to get Fu Shangrui away.It's just that Fu Shangrui is the governor of the imperial court, and whether Zhao Ming's subordinates are all of the same heart as him still needs to be tested.After all, the energy of Donghai Town was used to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it rarely involved internal political struggles, and the imperial court suddenly sent Fu Shangrui over, so that Donghai Town was not actually prepared, and Zhao Ming did not have time to unify the thoughts of his subordinates, and he did not know their political tendencies.Right now, Zhao Ming wants to get Fu Shangrui away, but it can't be too obvious.Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, a plan was born in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "The imperial court sent Fu Shangrui to Jiangdong, with the intention of recovering the administrative power and grasping Su Songchang's government affairs and taxes in his hands.Since the court wants it so much, it doesn't hurt to give it to the court~" "Marshal, don't do it!"
”When Ma Shiao heard this, he immediately became anxious.Zhao Ming looked at the reaction of everyone in the hall, except for a few people such as Ma Shiao and Wang Jiaqin, who reacted violently, the rest of the people showed a tangled look on their faces.This made Zhao Ming frown, he carefully observed the expressions of everyone, and there was some understanding in his heart, on the one hand, everyone wanted to protect their own interests, on the other hand, everyone was a Ming minister, because the anti-Qing gathered together, and it was not to create a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court wanted to control the administrative power, and they did not have a reasonable and legitimate reason to refuse politically except for personal interests.This made Zhao Ming suddenly realize that if he wanted to confront the central government, he still needed a political proposition and a political program that these people agreed with, rather than a warlord who simply wanted to divide one side.Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Mr.
Ma, don't worry, listen to Ben Shuai's words." ”Zhao Ming paused, was silent for a while, and then spoke: "The imperial court wants to take back the administrative power and the control of local finances, so the military salaries, food, equipment and pensions of the 200,000 soldiers in Donghai Town, and the marshal will not raise it himself."
Tomorrow, Mr.
Ma, you will go to the governor's yamen to ask for money and food, if the imperial court can get it, and is willing to bear the military expenses of Donghai Town, and the imperial court will take back the administrative power, this commander will have no opinion. ”The murderous aura in Zhao Ming's eyes flashed away, and after speaking, he waved his hand and said: "It's not early today, Ben Shuai is a little tired, everyone is gone!"
”Ma Shiao still had something to say, but it could be seen that Zhao Ming waved his hand and closed his eyes, so he could only get up and salute and leave.After Zhao Ming and the others left, he immediately opened his eyes, and suddenly said: "Ding Weiyue, prepare a horse for Ben Shuai, I want to go to Qianfu!"
”If he can't grasp the administrative power of Jiangdong, Zhao Ming's plan to revitalize the handicraft industry in Jiangnan will inevitably be affected, and Zhao Ming doesn't want to be constrained, so he must get out.At this time, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, Zhao Ming came to the Qian Mansion, but the Qian Mansion was brightly lit, Qian Qianyi got the news, beckoned his subordinates to greet him, and waited for Zhao Ming to arrive.Qian Qianyi is already seventy years old, but he is still keen on politics and wants to return to officialdom, enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and realize the phoenix wish in his heart for many years.As early as the Chongzhen Dynasty, Qian Qianyi was already the leader of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party people have always hoped that he could enter the cabinet.Jiashen State Change, Beijing Fall, Chongzhen Dynasty Fall, Qian Qianyi in Nanjing felt that his opportunity had come, united with the Donglin Party, wanted to support the Lu Fan as the emperor, and obtained the merit of making decisions, but he did not do Ma Shiying, and after King Fu ascended the throne, he did not wait to see Qian Qianyi, although Qian Qianyi mixed up with the Ministry of Rites, but still failed to enter the cabinet.The following year, the Qing army went south to the south of the Yangtze River, Qian Qianyi knelt down to meet the surrender, for Duoduo to capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and soon cut his braids, and went north to Beijing to be an official, originally thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw him Donglin boss, Jiangnan Shilin leader face, can give a high-ranking official, enter the inner courtyard as a university scholar, but the result is more and more mixed, the Manchu Qing look down on him, but only give a ceremonial waiter, than the original official position is one level lower.This made Qian Qianyi disheartened, and when he arrived in Beijing, he found that the Manchu court was not like the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could speak casually, and the emperor could scold, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not scold, scolding was looking for death, so it didn't take long for Qian Qianyi to return to his hometown.For so many years, the confrontation in court in the first year of Chongzhen has become the closest he has to entering the cabinet, which makes Qian Qianyi very unwilling.Originally, he thought that there was no chance to get involved in politics, but Zhao Ming's recovery of Hudong made him see hope again, so he took the initiative to approach Zhao Ming, wanting to enter the officialdom again through Zhao Ming.In fact, Qian Qianyi not only took the initiative to approach Zhao Ming, but he also contacted Zhu Yihai, but Zhu Yihai's Wenchen despised Qian Qianyi's behavior, saying, "The Nanjing Revolution began when Donglin instigated Zuo Zhen to rebel in the east!"
”Zhu Yihai didn't like Qian Qianyi and didn't come close to see him.Therefore, Qian Qianyi put his hope on Zhao Ming and deliberately moved from his hometown to Suzhou, in order to be closer to Zhao Ming."
Mu Zhai Gong, Ben Shuai has a secret matter to talk to!"
Zhao Ming came to the door of the mansion and saw Qian Qianyi standing at the door to greet him, and went straight to the point.Qian Qianyi was slightly stunned, secretly happy in his heart, and didn't say much at the moment, and directly invited Zhao Ming into the study.That night, Zhao Ming and Qian Qianyi had a secret meeting and discussed until the fifth watch, and Zhao Ming left the Qian Mansion with satisfaction and returned to the Right Capital Governor's Mansion.To drive Fu Shangrui away, but in terms of reason, it must be passed, and the people of the world must not think that Zhao Ming did it on purpose, so that the court has to recall Fu Shangrui, which is not an easy thing, but after Zhao Ming and Qian Qianyi discussed, they had to admire the kung fu of the Donglin Party people, and there were indeed a few brushes.Zhao Ming still has confidence in Donglin, an old pit organization, and in He Tengjiao, a newcomer.
