Chapter Six Reason
"I came from Tongzhou and met that person, but I don't know what his attitude there is." Mandahai did not deceive Jidu.
Jidu said, "No, Brother Seven is the first to surrender. Now he has been sealed. Why don't you know anything? Don't hide it from me. My subordinates think that Dongfan is going to instigate me to fight with Doni and fight to the death. Brother Seven, although I am not as close to you as Doni as Doni, over the years, we have been watching and helping each other, and you can't help Doni to harm me."
Seeing that he was talking more and more outrageous, Mandahai slapped Jidu in the face: "You are stupid, but you still don't admit it. If I come to harm you, will this dog or not come to see you?"
Ji Du thought to himself that he wanted to harm him, so he should go to discuss with Doni. Regardless of the scorching pain on his face, he hugged Mandahai and said, "Brother Seventh Brother, I asked you to take care of me before Ama died. You have to plan something for me."
Mandahai raised Ji Du and said, "Originally, I could enjoy my old age in Liaodong. I was afraid that you would not only harm yourself, but also implicate the entire clan, so I came here without caring about my life. Listen to my brother's advice, don't interact with those civil servants and generals, and don't think about any bargaining chips, offer the city to surrender, and save the whole family first."
Ji Du was quite reluctant and said, "Let's talk about it. Brother Seven, I have hundreds of shops in the capital, thousands of hectares of good land around it, and this royal palace... Oh, if I just like my brother, I went to the Jilin Appeasement Zone, but I couldn't take it away. Now that so many people support me, we can't bargain with Dongfan, and at least we have to protect the foundation of two generations in the capital."
"Jidu, don't be stupid. Those people support you, it's fake. It's true that they can protect their own interests. They also know that if they disperse and cannot save anything, they are instigating you to negotiate with the New Dynasties. But you don't think about it. Not to mention the capital, even if the surrounding areas of Zhili, 70% of the good land belongs to those people. How could the New Dynasties recognize those interests? Then the New Dynasties belong to theirs, and they are still ours?
If you take a step back, the head of state agreed to the conditions for land and family. They will also instigate you to have officials and power and protect all the interests of the Qing Dynasty. Can you do it? Use your head to think about it carefully. Can you get things that you can't get on the battlefield with your stupid mouth?" Mandahai can be heart-wrenching.
Although Ji Du couldn't bear to let it go, he felt it was reasonable and asked, "Brother Qi, what did you say, by the way, how did you do it when you were in Shengjing?"
Mandahai said: "First, surrender first, don't mention any conditions. I didn't mention anything at the beginning, and that one did not treat me badly. He gave it to me, that was tolerant and generous. If you want it, you would be ignorant and ask for the price all over the place.
If you trust the soldiers in your hands, you will arrest all those who have been urging you to negotiate these days, whether they are Manchu and Mongolian, or officials and gentry, and use them as a letter of fleeing from the capital and causing trouble in the surrounding areas in the future. This will be a credit."
Ji Du wrote down one by one and suddenly asked, "Where is the Doni?"
Mandahai pulled Jidu down and said, "Doni is the reason why I have to come to the city to persuade him. We have to find a way to stop him from negotiating with the Xin Dynasty, catch him, and beat him to Fulin and Sukshahan's group of war criminals, instead of letting him join the Xin Dynasty and join you and me!"
"Ah?" Jidu was still worried that Mandahai Gang Doni, but after hearing this, this guy came to harm Doni. Although Doni was gathering troops, he was also pulling the flag and slandering the tiger's skin, and the purpose was to negotiate.
Mandahai asked earnestly: "Jidu, I ask you, how did you die?"
Ji Du asked this question for some reason and said directly: "Ama was in poor health back then. Seeing the victory in the Southwest, Dorgon died and was transferred back to Beijing by Shunzhi. He was sick and depressed, so he went."
Mandahai said: "How did Nadoni die?"
It goes without saying that Doni is the son of Dodo. Dodo led his army to resolve the difficulties of Jiangnan, and returned from defeat on both sides of the Yangtze River. He was trapped in the east and attacked the west. He was trapped in Yangzhou City. He defended the city of Yangzhou and was killed by the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou. The soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou hated him for making Yangzhou for ten days, and ate his meat and drink his blood. Among the kings of Manchu, there was no more miserable death than his death.
"You, my father, brother and relatives were not killed by the New Dynasty, but Doni himself had a deep feud with the New Dynasty! I know, you want to say that Yue Le's father and brother were also killed by the New Dynasty, but Ji Du, can Doni compete with Yue Le? Yue Le's ability is not even as good as you and I. He is a tolerant person and can survive in the New Dynasty. Doni, who has been rampant since childhood, is also a good person. If he surrenders to the New Dynasty, he will definitely be disrespectful in the future. If he does not know how to restrain himself and causes a big disaster, then he will be able to settle the old and new accounts together, and he will be afraid that he will involve the entire Manchu clan.
Even Doni can endure it, but how can the new dynasty trust him? Tomorrow's Manchu is yesterday's Chahar. If you think about it carefully, is this true?" Mandahai explained.
Jidu then remembered, yes, even if Manchus continue to exist in the New Dynasties in the future, it should be like the Qing Dynasty treats the Chahar tribe. You should know that Huang Taiji was able to gain control over Mongolia because he defeated Lin Danhan, the direct descendant of Genghis Khan and Dayan Khan. Although Huang Taiji's brothers married Lin Danhan's wives at that time, his son was appointed as princes, and his daughter was married to King Chahar, Chahar was still the most special to the Qing Dynasty, and his policies to Chahar were also more stringent.
They were only placed in the area of Yizhou, Liaodong, for easy knowledge. They also opened the Chahar tribes to the pastoral family and placed the newly formed Zulings in the Chahar banners. Of course, what the two of them didn't know was that the Qing court would imprison King Chahar in the future because of disrespect. After the rebellion, they directly allowed Lin Dankhan to exterminate his descendants and adapted Chahar into the Chahar Eight Banners, which were directly assigned by the Qing Dynasty to be under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court took charge of the northern desert. After the Western Xinjiang, they repeatedly dispatched the Chahar tribe to garrison for thousands of miles.
"What Brother Qi said is that Doni is stupid, has no scheming, and is extremely jealous of the Han people. How can he adapt to the future and not keep this disaster?" Jidu nodded, figured out this point, and asked again: "Brother Qi, what do you think, what should you do?"
"You put down your posture first, take the initiative to win over Doni, and negotiate with the Xin Dynasty with him. I will appear as an envoy. We will first gain his trust and get the seal of his auxiliary king. In the name of your alliance, we will definitely help the Xin Dynasty pacify the capital. At that time, we will attack again and capture him in one fell swoop. At that time, we will say that we coerce him to surrender. Will he get the benefits?" Mandahai whispered.
Jidu nodded: "Okay, that's it!"
"One of the other things should be noted: you must send trustworthy people to guard the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and other places. Even if there is riots, it can be destroyed elsewhere, but this place cannot be damaged." Mandahai reminded him.
"But my troops are not enough..." Ji Du was a little embarrassed.
Mandahai said, "Don't be stupid. You just said that chips are bargaining chips. The stability of the Forbidden City and the capital is your biggest bargaining chip. You may have heard that in Shandong, the one who has been respected as an emperor, will be called emperor even if he does not build a capital in Beijing. If you give him a city that is broken or even burned, wouldn't it be a refutation of that person's face? He is already at the top of the world, and has no desires or demands in material things. Now the only thing that can please him is face!"
Jidu focused on the key points, Mandahai said: "If you really think there is not enough staff, please contact more Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who have been released, especially the two groups from Jiangnan and Liaodong. They are already free and believe in the Xinchao. As long as you don't do anything against you, they will definitely be willing to help you."
"Thank you, Brother Qi, for your advice!" Ji Du thanked him with his fists.
Mandahai said: "The country is destroyed and the tribe is destroyed, and you and I are just miserable brothers. If you don't support each other and give me some advice, how can you survive? Remember, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Since you choose to bow your head, just bow your head to the end."
Tongzhou.
Li Mingxun lay on the couch with a haggard face. He didn't know whether he was not used to the local environment or his hard work. He had always had a low fever these days. Although the military doctor said it was okay to be seriously injured, he was still not strong. He Wenxi stood by and read some important official documents and military information for him.
"....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Of course, Ji Du is not stupid either. He did not tell him about it, but said that he had contacted officials and powerful people in the past to catch them all, and did not say that he had heard about Mandahai.
Li Mingxun waved his hand: "Okay, stop thinking about it. These Manchu princes betray each other, which made my head hurt. Just tell Ji Du, let him protect the capital first and avoid damage from the war, and then to find out where the officials of the Qing court fled and those above the fourth rank hide. Even if the gentry in the north rebelled, I will not recommend a respectable person. As for the others, let him control the others."
He Wenxi recorded it, and Li Mingxun said: "Please choose it and see if there is any good news. In the past few days, either the gentleman rebelled or the one who raised the army."
He Wenxi smiled, knowing that Li Mingxun was in a bad mood, so he quickly searched and smiled: "Your Highness, this is a good news from General Pei Chengyi. He said that he had broken the Manchu and Mongolian tribes in the north at Balin Bridge, captured more than 200,000 of the princes, killed more than 4,000 enemies, captured 17,000 enemies, seized no cattle, sheep and horses, and the Qing royal family fled in a hurry and sent elite cavalry to chase him."
Li Mingxun stood up in an instant and frowned and said, "Baling Bridge!"
He came to the map. There was no detailed information on the map outside the side wall. He Wenxi didn't know where the Balin Bridge was. He recruited attendants who were familiar with Mongolian affairs in the attendants, so he marked them on the map. Li Mingxun was puzzled: "He actually fled northwards..."
"No, you just said that you have captured 200,000 Mongolian herders, what tribe are there?" Li Mingxun was even more surprised at this number.
He Wenxi read the names of several tribes, and even said clearly which flag the captive was. Pei Chengyi, who was on the front line, felt that there shouldn't be so few people who followed the Qing Dynasty to retreat, but Li Mingxun felt too much.
"Wen Xi, why do you think so many Mongolian tribes are willing to follow the losers to the bitter and cold land of the desert? You know, those Mongolian nobles should have known that we have won a great victory, and I set up three appeasement zones outside the pass, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Qiqihar, which is also a secret. It is actually a seal of surrenderers, pardon their sins, reward the land, mountains and forests, and completely open the door to surrender to us. Why do they still follow the Qing Dynasty to the north to suffer? I think it is not only because the Qing Dynasty used soft and hard methods to control it, but also because we are not as generous as the Qing Dynasty." Li Mingxun said.
He Wenxi said: "After a hundred years of rule in the Mongol Yuan, the Tatars Oirat jumped into the Liang Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty. There was a Manchu and Mongolian family in the near future. Suo noble chiefs were confused about the United States and even more hated."
Li Mingxun nodded slightly. This is true. The hatred between the Han and Mongolians has been around for hundreds of years. It is not comparable to Manchus. It is just that it is not so conspicuous, so it is not so conspicuous. But he didn't think this is the main thing. While thinking, he saw the attendant who wanted to speak but stopped and smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly, and let you come here and praise the military machine."
The attendant said, "I think there are three major reasons why the Mongolian tribes do not submit to each other now. One is that they are lucky. Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Han family has been in history. Don't say that the land in the north and south of the desert is the south. For thousands of years, in addition to the five attacks of Chengzu of the previous Ming Dynasty, it is also a place of sadness. It is like a Great Wall. In addition to the Han family, the Mongolian tribes are naturally unwilling to surrender easily.
The second is religious factors. Our United States has always strictly controlled religion. Under the General Administration, it established a religious bureau, advocating the legalization of local religions and localization of foreign religions. It owns religions for me and serves the country, rather than fooling the people and harming the country. The Mongolians mostly believe in the Yellow Sect in Lamaism. Our country has never had a clear policy before. The Mongolians were uneasy and were deeply influenced by the Yellow Sect. If they were not alive and died, they would not abandon it easily.
The third is the order of rewards and rewards. Now the front line commanders are all army generals, and there is no administrative civil servant. They have the power to generals and soldiers, but they have no right to recruit soldiers. They have to surrender first, and then refer to their merits and rewards. They are still worthy of people like Mandahai and Yue Le. After all, if they do not surrender, they will be dead, but the Mongols still have a way out. How can they be willing to hand over their lives to others first and be afraid?"
After hearing this, Li Mingxun felt a sense of enlightenment and asked, "What's your name?"
The attendant said, "I am humble in my position and I am grateful to Hanfeng."
