Chapter 697: The emperor can’t even keep his own ancestral tomb, who still believes in him?

(0697)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

"Dorgon!"

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp and he firmly locked the prisoner in front of him.

Of course, Zhang Yan is familiar with the name Dorgon. Among the slave chiefs of Jianlu, Dorgon is still very eye-catching. The Ministry of War’s evaluation of this person is resourceful and decisive in killing. If the Ming army encounters him, he must be careful and careful. In Chongzhen’s eyes, Dorgon is also a troublesome opponent.

Dorgon was seen in the first and second invasions of the Tartars. Wherever this person passed, the local Ming army was in seclusion and did not dare to fight at all. Those who went to fight were wiped out. As a result, every time the Tartars could return with a full load after burning, killing, looting. After the Tartars retreated, the Ming army in various places exaggerated their words in order to shirk their own guilt, and stated that Dorgon was so powerful that the court could not even pay attention to this person.

The Ming army on the Liaodong front was also very secretive about Dorgon. If Dorgon appeared on the Liaodong front, the Ming army in Liaodong would definitely be tensely nervous. Especially the Ming army in Dongjiang Town was always under Dorgon's high pressure, surviving and exhausted. In the end, Dongjiang Town could not withstand Dorgon's high pressure, and collectively mutiny, becoming a shameful traitor.

If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, Zhang Yan would never have thought that Dorgon would have fallen into Zhang Zhun's hands. It would be fine if he was accidentally beaten to death, but he was actually captured alive by Zhang Zhun. When he first learned about this news, Zhang Yan was already a little surprised. Now, she was even more surprised when she saw the real Dorgon herself.

In addition to being surprised, Zhang Yan was a little depressed and unwilling to accept it. Why did Zhang Zhun do what Chongzhen could not do? Could it be that Zhang Zhun is really better than Chongzhen? Or, Zhang Zhun has indeed received the favor of God and his luck is much better than Chongzhen?

Why is Dorgon so powerful in Liaodong and Dongjiang Town? He became a fool when he arrived in Shandong? Well, Zhang Yan speculated that Dorgon must have been stunned by victory, but he was careless and fell into Zhang Zhun's trap. As a result, he became a prisoner of the Tiger Army by accident. However, no matter what, being able to capture Dorgon alive is a great achievement!

Thinking of the excitement and encouragement of Dorgon being captured alive, Zhang Yan couldn't help but suffer a small blow again. This is indeed not a glorious thing for an emperor. If Zhang Zhun was a loyal subordinate of the court, this contribution would be acceptable no matter what. The problem is that Zhang Zhun did not buy the court's account, and even if Chongzhen wanted to make the contribution on himself, he would be embarrassed.

The most terrible thing is, when such news comes, what will the people in the world think? What will civil and military officials think? What will gentry and students think? The war between the court and the Tartars are always defeated repeatedly, with heavy losses, lost troops and land, and even some officials in the court themselves lost confidence. However, the war between the Tiger Army and the Tartars is victorious in every battle and morale is extremely high. In this case, who will they choose? Who will they support? Zhang Yan thinks it is very terrible as long as she thinks it.

Zhang Shen said sternly: "Dorgon, this is Empress Yi'an."

Dorgon looked up at Zhang Yan, but said nothing.

Chu Bingyan said sternly: "You are still so arrogant when you are a prisoner?"

Dorgon sneered, still looking a little disdainful.

Dorgon really didn't take the people from the Ming court seriously at all. In the eyes of the senior officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, the people from the Ming court were simply a group of waste. Otherwise, they would not have been defeated by the Great Jin army and were defeated in a mess. During the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army dispatched so many people, and the Great Jin army had only a few people. As a result, the Great Jin army finally won a great victory. In addition to using waste to describe the people from the Ming court, Dorgon could not find any other words. Who would respect a group of waste?

Look at how many battle victories have been achieved since the rise of the Great Jin army? How much land has been occupied by the Ming Kingdom? Now, the land east of Jinzhou has been completely occupied by the Great Jin Kingdom, and the North Korea and Mongolian grasslands have also been controlled by the Great Jin Kingdom. Even the imperial seal has fallen into the hands of the Great Jin Kingdom. In terms of military strength alone, the Great Jin Kingdom is fully qualified to be on par with the Ming Kingdom, or even better.

However, once Jianlu was afraid of being beaten and beaten hard, they were so honest that they wanted to lie on the ground and *** your toes to show their loyalty. They even had the argument of measuring China's national strength and winning the favor of all nations. In fact, the Great Jin Dynasty originally advocated force, and once others had stronger force than them, they would be frustrated. This is the situation now. The general of the Tiger Army, Dorgon, was beaten hard and hurt, and Dorgon had to accept it.

*** The same is true for people. If you beat him hard and hurt him, he will be completely honest with you. If you can't beat him, he will not respect you at all. The only way to deal with such people is to beat him up. If you think that adults should have a lot of adults and don't care about them, then you are making mistakes again and again.

Dorgon's contempt made Zhang Yan feel deeply hurt. A prisoner of Jianlu dared to insult her existence like this. Despised her means ignoring Chongzhen and the entire court. What qualifications does an indigenous person who emerged from deep mountains and forests have to despise the Ming court? However, the other party despised it like this.

Zhang Yan really wanted to go up in person and slapped Dorgon hard a few times, but in the end she still had no courage. The Ming court never won the battle between the Ming court and the Jin army, so that the whole court, including the royal family, had a natural sense of fear of the Tartars. Although she knew that Dorgon in front of her had no ability to resist at all, she still did not have the courage to kill him on the spot.

What's even more terrible is that Zhang Yan is not qualified to deal with Dorgon. On the territory of the Hu Ben Army, only Zhang Zhun can decide Dorgon's life and death. Zhang Yan obviously would not think that she could interfere in her affairs and deal with Dorgon on behalf of Zhang Zhun. Therefore, she could only say coldly: "Take him away!"

Zhang Shenyan waved his hand and someone immediately took Dorgon down.

From the time of appearance to leaving, Dorgon never spoke, as if he had completely regarded Zhang Yan as transparent. Everyone around him saw this scene, with different expressions. This made Zhang Yan feel that the court's face was indeed very little left. Whether this was Zhang Zhun's intentional arrangement, it was not a good thing.

Zhang Yan said a little disappointedly: "I don't understand why I didn't escort Dorgon to Beijing, offer prisoners before the Meridian Gate, and then behead him publicly?"

Zhang Shenyan said tactfully: "Forgive the Empress, the Governor means to use Dorgon to exchange Fan Wencheng and others."

Zhang Yan asked suspiciously: "How valuable is Fan Wencheng? Is it worth a Belor of the Tartars?"

Zhang Shenyan said in an orderly manner: "Empress, you may lack sufficient understanding of the Tartars' ability to do things in detail. The weak minister dared to say that the harm of this traitor is more intense than that of the Tartars. Since the Tartars launched a war, too many Han people have become shameless traitors, including a large number of court officials. If there were no these traitors, Jianlu would not have had any insight into the secrets of our country."

"The Empress may have known that the gates of Fushun, Chenyang, Liaoyang, and even Guangning City were all opened by traitors. Now, the gates of Changping were also opened by traitors. It can be seen that traitors are really the vanguard of the Tatars' invasion of our country. Without the cooperation of these traitors, it would definitely not be so easy for the Tartars to break the city. People have rumored that the emperor's imperial edict had not yet left the Forbidden City, all the spies who built the captives would have known."

"Empress, please think carefully. If Kong Youde hadn't suddenly killed Shen Shikui, how could the Tartars have the opportunity to occupy Dongjiang Town? If Ruan Dacheng, the governor of Denglai, surrendered to the Tartars, how could Dorgon quickly gain a foothold in Dengzhou City? All of this is closely related to the traitors. Therefore, the Governor made up his mind to capture these traitors, cut them into pieces, and kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

When discussing military affairs in detail, Zhang Yan is no longer an expert. She has lived in the deep palace for a long time and of course she cannot know the specific military affairs very clearly. She knows not much about the detailed work of the Tartars. However, she clearly felt the implicit meaning in Zhang Shen's words. Zhang Shenyan was accusing the people of the court of being unreliable, and some were spies of Jianlu. Moreover, in a vague way, the court's handling of traitors was too soft, so Zhang Zhun needed help to deal with it.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Why did Lord Zhang say this?"

Zhang Shenyan said obscenely: "In the future, the Empress may as well ask the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei to see if the subordinate officials are exaggerating. If a traitor is not eliminated, the country will have no peace."

Zhang Yan was touched another nail that was neither soft nor hard, and she felt quite uncomfortable. The court's originally beautiful and glamorous outer cloak was peeled off when it arrived at the territory of the Hu Ben Army, revealing the ugliness and shamelessness inside, just like a beggar on the street that was about to die. She tried hard to stabilize her thoughts and frowned and said, "Since you want to exchange Fan Wencheng, why not exchange it quickly?"

Zhang Shenyan said cautiously: "The slave chief Huang Taiji has not agreed yet."

This surprised Zhang Yan slightly and asked suspiciously: "Huang Taiji doesn't agree? He doesn't want Dorgon to go back? He doesn't want Dorgon?"

Zhang Shenyan said cautiously: "I don't know the specific situation, and only the governor can know the details. I guess Huang Taiji dare not agree to the governor's conditions. If he agrees, all the Han people in the world will rise up to oppose him. The death day for all traitors will come."

Zhang Yan frowned and thought for a while, and finally felt that this sentence did not reflect the court's meaning, so she slowly felt relieved. However, she was still a little confused and didn't understand why Zhang Zhun had to hold on to those traitors. Just kill Dorgon, what should he do in exchange for such traitors? If Dorgon goes back, it will not be so easy to catch him next time!

While talking, the group had already arrived at the original prefect's office in Dengzhou City.

The most magnificent building in Dengzhou City was the Governor's Office, right next to the Governor's Office. Unfortunately, when the Huben Army recovered Dengzhou City, the Tartars guarding it were razed to the ground with the Governor's Office under the roar of explosives from the Huben Army. Therefore, the Governor's Office became the most magnificent building in Dengzhou City.

At this time, there were already a row of gentry standing in front of the prefect's office, with about a hundred people, obviously preparing to welcome Zhang Yan. This was the first time Zhang Yan saw so many people there after getting off the boat, which made Zhang Yan feel a little happy. It seems that the local gentry still welcomed him.

However, Zhang Yan soon discovered that the look of these gentry looking at him was a bit complicated, as if it was not just to welcome her arrival. After all, Zhang Yan was a person who had seen great storms and waves, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, when the gentry came to salute, she was respectful to Zhang Yan's etiquette, but she was completely deserving of enthusiasm, and she had no intention of flattery.

Listening to their self-introduction, they actually came from Beizhili and other places. When Zhang Yan heard the words Beizhili, he knew that it was not good. Now Beizhili is in a mess, and most of the gentry's property and land have been swept away by the Tartars. The court did not protect the interests of these people in time. No wonder they had to resent the court. The damn Tiger Army took advantage of their resentment to the court and took advantage of the situation. This cunning Zhang Zhun!

In fact, these gentry from Northern Zhili appeared here and did have the intention of questioning the court. If they had not had such courage in the past, they dared to question the court. But weren’t they followed the Hu Ben Army? Since they followed the Hu Ben Army, their impression of the court would naturally be very bad. Feng Gaoke said bluntly: “Empress, I don’t know when the Tartars in Northern Zhili will end their looting and leave the customs?”

Of course, Zhang Yan could not answer this question directly. When will the Tartars come out of seclusion? She didn't know at all. I'm afraid that Chongzhen could not answer this question. When the Tartars come out of seclusion, it depends on Huang Taiji's meaning, not Chongzhen's meaning. There was no way, so Zhang Yan had to say: "Mr. Feng, please be calm, the court will not forget everyone. You have suffered heavy losses, and the court will definitely take good care of it in the future."

Feng Gaoke said without any concealment: "It is said that even Gaoyang City where Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong is located was captured by the Tartars. Grand Secretary Sun is the emperor's teacher, and the court cannot save it. We are the ones who are fighting for life and death, but I am afraid that the court will not care about our lives or death at all?"

Zhang Yan's face suddenly looked ugly.

It was really hard to mention any pot, and Sun Chengzong's affairs were actually revealed again.
