In the south of Shibao Town, the Ming army of Zhejiang attacked the defense line of the Qing army, but rushed all the way, and when the Ming army reached the periphery of Shibao, it was already the end of the crossbow.At this time, Li Chengdong led a group of subordinates into the camp, and threw his helmet on the table with an indignant face."
Mother, I rushed a few times, but I couldn't rush through."
Shibao was close at hand, but the Zhejiang army defeated many Qing troops along the way, and after arriving in Xinghua County, it was already weak.Wang Yi said angrily: "Fang Cai was going to kill the Qing army in front, but another Qing army rushed from the direction of Yangzhou, which instantly stabilized the defense line.Didn't the army of the imperial court already cross the river from Hezhou, Jiangpu, and Liuhe?
Why is there still a Qing army in Yangzhou!
”Li Chengdong sneered: "The emperor doesn't need to block the cabinet, but he uses He Tengjiao as a pig, I see~" Zhang Mingzhen waved his hand to interrupt Li Chengdong's words, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness has sent someone to urge He Tengjiao, let's rectify the people here, rush again, and rescue Boan no matter what." ”After He Tengjiao landed on the north bank, the army stopped at the western suburbs of Yangzhou to explore the Qing army around Yangzhou and avoid being ambushed by the Qing army.At this time, in He Tengjiao's tent, Ma Shiao, who came from Taizhou, was struggling to persuade He Tengjiao, hoping that the imperial soldiers and horses could do their best, but they rescued Zhao Ming."
Elder He Ge, please hurry up and send troops, and cooperate with Zhao Guogong to annihilate the Qing army in Jiangbei!"
Ma Shiao said eagerly.The Qing army in Jiangbei now has 300,000, and the Zhejiang army plus the men and horses in Donghai Town is less than 150,000, which is less than half of the Qing army.Ma Shiao was originally in Suzhou, but after Zhao Ming's accident, he was anxious, and immediately felt Jiangbei, and he saw that the court was not making any efforts, so he ran from Taizhou to He Tengjiao's army.He Tengjiao led an army of more than 100,000 people, and he should have stormed Yangzhou and pinned down the Qing army, but he did not advance, so the Qing army in Yangzhou threatened the flank of the Zhejiang army, so that the Zhejiang army could not break through to the north with all its strength and relieve the siege for Zhao Ming.He Tengjiao sat behind the handsome case, but said in an official tone: "Azig is cunning, this cabinet is responsible for the lives of the soldiers of the whole army, so you must be careful in your actions, and you can't repeat Zhao Bo'an's mistakes!"
”The Qing army was busy besieging Zhao Ming and blocking the Zhejiang army, where are there still troops to set up an ambush, ambush him He Tengjiao?
Ma Shiao was sad and indignant in his heart, but after all, he had a request, so he couldn't help kneeling in front of He Tengjiao, crying bitterly: "Elder He Ge, please look at the soldiers of Donghai Town, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, save Donghai Town!"
”Ma Shiao was like this, which made He Tengjiao a little embarrassed for a while, and if he continued to make trouble like this, the impact would not be good, so he said perfunctorily: "This pavilion will consider it, you get up first and go down to rest." ”Ma Shiao was unmoved, "Elder He Ge, you are the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, you can't watch the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty die and not save them!"
”The voice reached the outside of the tent, and the guards whispered and discussed, and many of them frowned and clenched the hilt of their swords.He Tengjiao saw that Ma Shiao continued to make trouble unreasonably, his face sank, and he said in a sullen voice: "Come on, send Ma Tongzhi to rest, this pavilion still has military affairs to deal with." ”Ma Shiao was taken away by a soldier, and He Tengjiao immediately called his henchman Fu Shangrui and asked, "Have you been contacted?"
”A few years ago, Longwu entered Changsha from Fujian, and He Tengjiao, as the governor of Huguang, was able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.As the first assistant, He Tengjiao naturally wanted to make a career and leave a name in history, but at that time, the authority of the Longwu court was sidelined, and the local feudal towns were divided, and he did not obey the orders of the court.He Tengjiao said that he was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, but the government decree went out of Huguang, and no one birded him, which made He Tengjiao very indignant.In order to reshape the authority of the central government, and in order to be a veritable chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, the first national policy implemented by He Tengjiao after entering the cabinet was to weaken the feudal towns and return power to the central government.At that time, as He Tengjiao's confidant, Fu Shangrui was sent to the place, and he happened to be put on Zhao Ming's territory as a leader.He Tengjiao wanted Fu Shangrui to make a career in the local area and increase his political achievements, but Fu Shangrui played a mess in Jiangdong and was driven out of Suzhou by Zhao Ming.Since then, He Tengjiao's faction's policy failed, the main peace faction lost power, and Fu Shangrui hibernated for a few years, but Fu Shangrui was not discouraged and has been waiting for the opportunity to recover.Not long ago, the Manchu Qing sent envoys to Yihe, the court and the central government were the ministers of the main battle faction, Zhu Yujian did not want to make a noise, He Tengjiao recommended Fu Shangrui, who had been idle for a long time, and he also seized the opportunity to re-enter the political stage of the Ming Dynasty."
Elder Ge, I've been contacted.The lowly and the other side made an appointment, and they will come over tonight. ”Fu Shangrui smiled flatteringly.He Tengjiao nodded when he heard this, "That's good, you can arrange it!"
”That night, in the western suburbs of Yangzhou City, near the old Jiangkou, Fan Wencheng led more than a dozen guards to a mansion, and saw a member of the scarlet robe standing outside the door from a distance, and immediately smiled and said: "This is He Ge Lao, I have heard He Ge's prestige for a long time!"
”He Tengjiao listened to Fu Shangrui's whispers and knew that the person who came was the famous Fan Wencheng, so he also laughed and arched his hand: "Mr.
Fan's name, He has also admired someone for a long time!"
”"Well said, well said!"
Fan Wencheng laughed and arched his hand.At this time, Fu Shangrui turned to one side, "Pavilion Elder, Governor Fan, let's talk inside." ”At the moment, the group entered the house, which had already prepared wine and food, after the two groups of people took their seats, they immediately pushed the cup and changed the lamp, while flattering each other, and after three rounds of wine, Fan Wencheng said: "Before Feng Quan Feng sent a letter, saying that he had reached a treaty with He Ge Lao, and I ruled the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. ”He Tengjiao nodded, "The treaty was signed by this cabinet.That is, the two families boycotted the war, why did your army besiege Donghai Town. ”Fan Wencheng said helplessly: "He Ge Lao, I can't be blamed for this matter, after the governor received the letter from Master Feng, he immediately facilitated Prince Ying's consultation, and led the army to withdraw from Nanjing, it was your army that did not let us go, and Donghai Town still wanted to cut off our retreat, so Prince Ying was forced to launch a counterattack." ”Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng put down his wine glass and looked at He Tengjiao, "Elder He Ge, I came here today to ask, is the treaty signed between Master Feng and your country still counted?"
”He Tengjiao immediately said: "Of course do the number!"
”Fan Wencheng heard He Tengjiao's words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then he immediately frowned: "However, it seems that your imperial court can't control its own people!"
”He Tengjiao understood what Fan Wencheng meant, and he also knew what the Qing army was doing.With the existence of Donghai Town and Zhejiang, the peace between the Ming and Manchu Qing Dynasty could not be truly realized.This is just like Song Gaozong negotiated peace with Jin Guo and wanted to kill Yue Fei, if Zhao Ming was not solved and the main battle faction within the Southern Ming Dynasty was disposed of, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not at ease.At this point, He Tengjiao and the Manchu Qing are actually the same, even if the Manchu Qing does not solve Zhao Ming, Emperor Longwu will also solve Zhao Ming, Zhu Yihai and Zhejiang.The key now is that if Zhao Ming is solved, will the Manchus really be willing to negotiate peace.He Tengjiao was silent for a moment, "Mr.
Fan's meaning, this pavilion knows, the army of this pavilion has not moved, presumably Mr.
Fan also understands the meaning of this pavilion and the imperial court." ”Among smart people, needless to say, Fan Wencheng learned that He Tengjiao led the troops, and the army stopped in the west of Yangzhou, so he knew that the Longwu Imperial Court wanted to solve Zhao Zamao with the help of the hands of the Qing Dynasty.I have to admit that Zhao Zamao is a hard idea, Azig besieged him, thinking that eating Zhao Zamao was an ironclad thing, but more than 100,000 Qing troops just couldn't beat a small Shibao Town.Now, Zhao Zamao has not been eaten, and the more than 100,000 Ming troops on the south bank have crossed the south of the Yangtze River again, and the Ming army of Zhejiang and the rest of Donghai Town have gone crazy, and they have rushed to the distance of dozens of miles south of Shibao Town.If, He Tengjiao's men and horses, like the Zhejiang army, rush forward, the Qing army may not be able to eat Zhao Zamao.Therefore, Fan Wencheng was ordered by Azig to come to Yangzhou to talk with He Tengjiao, hoping to stabilize He Tengjiao, and as long as He Tengjiao did not send troops, it would definitely not be possible to break through to Shibao Town with the Ming army of Zhejiang.Fan Wencheng understood He Tengjiao's worries, and when he saw that He Tengjiao said that he would not rescue Zhao Ming, he immediately said: "Old He Ge, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been fighting for decades, and now, both sides are exhausted.Previously, it was the regent who was in charge and insisted on the army going south, but now the regent has fallen and the emperor is in charge, and the national policy of the Qing Dynasty has changed.The emperor was young, and his internal instability was unstable after he became pro-government, so if he wanted to stabilize the situation, he naturally did not want to fight with the Ming army again.Moreover, in recent years, the Qing Dynasty has suffered heavy losses in the war, and it has been unable to continue to move south.Therefore, negotiating peace is the current demand of the Qing Dynasty, and there will be absolutely no falsehood!
”What Fan Wencheng said can be said to be seven points true, three points false, at present, Shunzhi has just been in power, and the Dol Roll faction has not yet come to clean up urgently, plus there have been repeated failures on the battlefield, and the treasury is empty, so it is true that it can no longer be fought.Shunzhi, Azig and others all hoped to reach an agreement with the Ming Dynasty to temporarily truce and take a breath.This time, even if Zhao Zamao was killed, the Manchu Qing would have to rest for a while, Shunzhi needed to consolidate his position, and the Qing army needed to be redeployed.Of course, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty eased up, and the Ming Dynasty lost Zhao Zamao, then whether this peace agreement was still needed is another story.He Tengjiao listened to Fan Wencheng's words, and looked at Fu Shangrui, Emperor Longwu wanted to clean up the interior of the Ming Dynasty, weaken the feudal towns, and realize centralized power, and to reduce the feudal domain, he needed a relatively stable environment outside.In addition, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Longwu Imperial Court is not afraid of the Manchu Qing Dynasty breaking the treaty, He Tengjiao is confident that the Ming Dynasty can compete with the Manchus without Zhao Ming, and this is the basis for the Longwu Imperial Court to dare to negotiate peace and dare to sell Zhao Ming.The Longwu Imperial Court has already passed a critical moment, if the Longwu Imperial Court, when it cannot compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, betrays Zhao Ming and the main battle faction, it is undoubtedly a hole in the brain.Now even if there is no Zhao Ming, the Longwu Imperial Court can fight, and He Tengjiao dared to sell Zhao Ming.At the moment, Longwu and the Manchu Qing both wanted to negotiate peace, and He Tengjiao said in a deep voice: "Okay, since this is the case, this pavilion hopes that after your army finishes this battle, it can give up Huainan as agreed!"
”Fan Wencheng immediately smiled: "Of course." ”On the side, Fu Shangrui stood up and raised his wine glass, "Everyone, for the sake of the peace between the two families, in order to clear the peace and obstacles, to give the people a peace, and for the sake of the well-being of the people in the world, I have done this toast!"
”He Tengjiao and Fan Wencheng raised their wine glasses, touched each other solemnly, and then drank them all."
In order to clear the discussion and obstacles, I did it!"
After everyone finished drinking, they immediately burst into laughter.After meeting with Fan Wencheng, He Tengjiao returned to the camp and was about to convene his subordinates to discuss the matter, when suddenly Ma Shiao broke in and asked sharply: "Elder He Ge, I heard that you met with the Qing envoy in private?"
”He Tengjiao was furious when he saw this: "It's nonsense, this is someone sowing discord and disturbing the morale of the army, do you believe this?"
”Ma Shiao's eyes were red, "I didn't believe this, the head of the court would collude with the Tartars to frame Zhongliang, but I saw it with my clear eyes!"
”He Tengjiao frowned and had a cold face, "Ma Shiao, those who know the times are Junjie, haven't you heard this sentence?"
The world has been fighting hard for a long time, and it is His Majesty's will to negotiate peace, and it is also the will of the people of the world. ”Ma Shiao's heart was like ashes, and Donghai Town threw his head and spilled blood for the sake of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing army, but in the end he was betrayed by the court that served him.The story of the Storm Pavilion, hundreds of years later, was actually staged again, Ma Shiao's blood vessels on his forehead jumped and jumped, and he roared angrily, "He Tengjiao, you traitor, I want to avenge the soldiers of Donghai Town!"
”As he spoke, Ma Shiao was about to draw his sword, but was held down by He Tengjiao's Qing army.He Tengjiao sighed and said, "Ma Shiao, why are you suffering?
This pavilion is also for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, for the people to suffer less from the war, and the soldiers can not bear to continue to die.Over the past dynasties, the northern soldiers have invaded the south, and it would be good for our Han people to be able to hold half of the country, how can there be an example of completely defeating the northern soldiers.To be a man, you must know the current affairs, and peace is precious!
”Ma Shiao scolded angrily with a hideous face: "Fart, you Qin Hui, Donghai Town is dead, and I won't let you go!"
”Seeing this, He Tengjiao didn't say much, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and the soldiers immediately dragged Ma Shiao out, with a click, blood splashed on the tent, He Tengjiao sneered, "Ma Shiao, Zhao Ming, this pavilion will burn paper for you next year!"
”In the night, on the wall of Shibao Town, Zhao Ming and a group of generals were standing, staring at the south.The battle in the south was extremely fierce, but as Zhao Ming expected, the reinforcements were weak and were blocked by the Qing army twenty miles away, and they were never able to break through the Qing army's defense line and enter Shibao Town.This made the remnants of the soldiers in the city, excited hearts, hang again."
Look, handsome!"
Gao Yuanzhao suddenly pointed in the direction of the Qing army's camp.Zhao Ming followed the prestige, and saw a fire dragon, left the Qing army camp, and headed south.Li Benshen's face immediately sank, "Azig has transferred troops to block reinforcements." ”Zhao Ming was silent for a while, raised his head half-loudly, and said to everyone: "Brothers, we can only rely on ourselves!"
