Chapter 103 Long Live Lord is a decent person
In the 158th year of Chongzhen reign in the Ming Dynasty, the 50th year of the Qing Dynasty, June, Bingchen.
When the entire territory under the control of the Meng Lianggu rebel group launched a vigorous operation of digging wells and canals, the deaf old dog who took the initiative to play the egg-shrinking tactic could not sit still.
Although Qian deaf old dog took the initiative to play the egg shrinking tactic, this does not mean that Qian deaf old dog did not know about the news of drought in important grain-producing areas such as Shandong and Henan in the Central Plains.
And through this drought that swept through several important grain-producing areas, Qian Deafangou saw an opportunity to make a comeback.
In the eyes of Qian Deafangou, unless a disaster like this occurs in several important grain-producing areas, unless it occurs during the reign of the Holy Emperor of Tatar, if it occurs at any other time, it means that the living conditions of the common people can only mean that they cannot make a living.
Four words, and the four words "people are in dire straits" often mean war.
After all, all the Locust Emperors of our Tatar Qing Dynasty are wise kings and saints who love their people like their own children. Faced with this kind of drought that has swept through several provinces, our Tatar Qing court will definitely send people to provide relief. Who are those rebellious bandits? They know what they are doing.
Relief for the people?
Especially when there are hundreds of rebels, large and small, in the world. Such a severe drought will only make these rebels beat me and me, and no one will care about the people under their control.
Qian Deafangou felt that the people under the rule of Zhu Ni and other rebels must be in dire straits now, and after experiencing the dire straits and droughts, these people will definitely think of the goodness of our Tatar Qing court.
What is this? This is what the people want, this is the opportunity!
After having this idea in his mind, Qian Deafangou couldn't wait to call Heshen and Zhongtang to him.
Qian Deafangou leaned on the soft couch and asked with half-closed eyes: "I remember, what is the name of the rebel over there in Shanxi?"
Heshen and Zhongtang were a little unclear about Qian Deaf's intentions, so they could only bow and answer honestly: "Long live the Lord, the rebel in Shanxi is called Zhu Zhongzhi, and he has given himself the title of Seventeenth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Ren is probably the same as Zhu Zhongtao from Henan, who pretended to be Emperor Chongzhen."
Qian Deafangou hummed, and then pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "How is the situation in Shanxi now?"
After being asked this question by Qian Deafangou, Heshen and Zhongtang had some idea in their minds. They blinked twice in a pair of dead fish eyes and began to make secret calculations in their hearts.
Long live the Lord is a decent man who loves his people as his own son. Even when more than a hundred rebels appeared in the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty, the Long Live Lord was still able to issue an edict to return the land to the Han and distribute the hard-core crops stationed in various places.
They all recalled Zhili, which is enough to explain everything.
This is the first point.
For example, when there is a drought in the Han provinces, even I, the military minister who is huddled in Zhili, know about it, and Lord Long live, who still has eyes and ears all over the world, must have known about it for a long time.
This is the second point.
Long Live Lord originally wanted to cause chaos in the eighteen provinces of Han Dynasty. Wait until the rebels, big and small, are exhausted and then set foot on the Central Plains. Not only can we take advantage of the opportunity to regain our country, the Qing Dynasty, but also return the country.
It can make people all over the world remember the benefits of my Taqing.
This is the third point.
Based on the analysis of these three reasons, Long Live Master plans to regain Shanxi first?
Thinking of this, Heshen and Zhongtang immediately wiped away their tears and said with choked sobs: "It would be better if I didn't ask, long live the Lord. But if you ask, this is in my heart."
"Ever since Zhu Zhongzhi pretended to be the fifth grandson of Emperor Chongzhen, the lives of the people in Shanxi have been difficult to manage. Now that there is such a drought, the people in Shanxi must be living in dire straits."
"In my opinion, the people of Shanxi are all eagerly hoping that Lord Long Live can quickly take back Shanxi."
However, Qian Deafangou still half-closed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Now that I think of me, what did I do when I followed Zhu Ni to rebel?"
Hearing Qian Deaf Laogou say this, He Zhongtang was even more convinced of Qian Deaf Laogou's meaning.
A pair of dead fish eyes blinked several times, and Heshen and Zhongtang bowed solemnly: "I think that what Long Live the Lord said is really biased."
"In my opinion, the reason why the people of Shanxi rebelled in the first place was not necessarily because of their own will. The main reason was that Zhu Zhongzhi, who pretended to be Emperor Chongzhen, hijacked the people. The people of Shanxi cannot be entirely blamed for this.
.”
"Moreover, Long Live Lord is the king and father of all people in the world. Now that the people of Shanxi are suffering from drought, Zhu Ni is exploiting him hard. The people of Shanxi look forward to Long Live Lord like a baby looking to its parents."
Before he finished speaking, Qian Deaf Old Dog snorted again, but after snorting, he did not speak.
Heshen and Zhongtang's pair of dead fish eyes blinked twice in succession, and they bowed to persuade: "I heard that in this world there are only children who don't understand their parents' painstaking efforts. How can there be parents who don't care about their children's life and death?"
"When those Shanxi people were coerced into rebellion by the rebel Zhu Zhongzhi, I wanted to kill them all. But then I thought about it, if I killed them, according to the character of Lord Long Live who loves the people as his own son, then Long Live
How distressed I am, why don't you kill your slaves too?"
Having said this, Heshen and Zhongtang gave another flattering laugh and advised: "I know that Lord Long live was just angry before, so he turned away the people in the world and wanted to let them know that they are not under the control of the king."
as a result of."
"But now the people of Shanxi are suffering from drought, aren't they? I know that Long Live Lord must be feeling uncomfortable in his heart, so I think that as Lord Long Live, the father of all people in the world, and for the benefit of all people in the world, Long Live Lord should still send a large army to take over Shanxi.
Would it be better for you to come under my Tatar rule?"
Qian Deafangou then sighed and said: "You are right, where in the world are there parents who don't care about the life and death of their children? Now that I see the people in Shanxi suffering from drought, I feel bad in my heart.
"
Heshen and Zhongtang bowed and smiled, but did not continue talking.
This is enough for the sake of talking. If you talk any more, it will appear that you, a slave, like to talk too much.
Qian Deafangou snorted again, and after some calculations in his mind, he asked: "How much money do we have in the Qing Dynasty's treasury now? Do we have enough muskets and artillery to build?"
Heshen and Zhongtang immediately bowed and replied: "Long live Lord, now our Tatar Qing treasury still has 3.5 million taels of silver, and the muskets and artillery we can make are more than enough to conquer Shanxi."
Gu/span Upon hearing what Heshen and Zhongtang said, Qian Deaf immediately snorted again.
It is said that it is more than enough to conquer Shanxi, but in fact it is only enough to conquer Shanxi. It still cannot deal with Zhu Ni in Shandong, and can only vent its anger on the rebels in Shanxi.
However, it’s not that Qian Deaf Old Dog cannot accept this result.
After all, Qian deaf old dog also knows in his heart that my Eight Banners disciple Wen Tianwuxi can even fall to the ground on horseback, miss the target when shooting arrows, and rush here with useless weapons. It is sheer nonsense to expect such Eight Banners soldiers to conquer Zhu Ni in Shandong.
.
But, there is only one Zhu Ni from Shandong. Can the Zhu Ni from Shanxi be as powerful as the Zhu Ni from Shandong?
Let me first take advantage of the opportunity of annihilating the rebel bandits in Shanxi to let my Eight Banners disciples train their troops well. When the troops are well trained, then we can go and annihilate Zhu Ni in Shandong.
Thinking of this, Qian Deafangou snorted and said: "That's all, allocate 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, 10,000 Qizhou Eight Banners vests, and 20,000 Bujia, let..."
Speaking of this, Qian Deafangou suddenly stopped.
Who should lead the troops?
Fukangan?
Fu Huan?
Agui?
The heads of these three brothers are still exposed to the wind and sun on the top of the Jingguan built by Zhu Ni.
After a moment of silence, Qian Deafangou sighed and said: "Let Eldenbao lead the troops to Shanxi to quell the rebellion."
Heshen and Zhongtang first bowed in agreement, then blinked their dead fish eyes and tried to figure it out, saying tentatively: "Long live my lord, I thought I sent Eldenbao alone to lead the troops to suppress the rebels in Shanxi. I'm afraid
Doesn’t it reflect Long Live Lord’s love for the people and the importance the court attaches to it?”
Qian Deafangou opened his squinted eyes slightly, glanced at Heshen and Zhongtang, and asked, "How do you say that?"
He Shen and Zhongtang bowed and smiled again, and replied: "Return to Lord Long Live, I thought, why doesn't Lord Long Live send an elder brother to supervise the army? Firstly, let the people of Shanxi know how much Lord Long Live values them, and secondly,
, so that the generals in the army can work harder?"
When he heard that locusts were to be sent to supervise the army, Qian Deafangou couldn't help but feel a little moved.
That's right, one day I will grow old, and the country and the country will always be handed over to my son. If I didn't have the opportunity before, forget it. Now that I have such an opportunity, I really should send them out to experience it.
.
Just thinking about his sons gave Qian Deaf a headache.
Qian Deaf Old Gou had seventeen sons in total. His two legitimate sons, Locust's second son Yong Lian, only lived nine years old, and Locust's seventh son Yong Cong only lived two years old. Among the other sons, Locust San was the most favored by Qian Deaf Old Gou.
Zi Yongzhang and Locust's fifth son Yongqi also died early. Together with other sons who either died of illness or died in infancy, eight of Qian Deafangou's seventeen sons died.
Basically, whichever son the money-deaf old dog particularly likes or has a fancy for, that son will die early.
Up to now, Qian Deafangou still has four living sons, the eighth son Yongxuan, the eleventh son Yongxuan, the fifteenth son Yongyan, and the seventeenth son Yonglin.
Thinking of this, Qian Deafangou snorted and said, "Let Old Fifteen lead the troops."
After receiving the order from Qian Deafangou, the first reaction of the fifteenth elder brother Aixinjueluo Yongyan was to refuse.
Conquering the rebels in Shanxi? It would be okay if the rebels in Shanxi were easier to conquer. But if the rebels in Shanxi were like Zhu Jinsong and Zhu Ni in Shandong, wouldn't my brother be in trouble?
What if he is as cold as the other eight brothers? Wouldn't it be impossible for me to take the throne without my brother?
Of course, come to think of it, Aixinjueluo Yongyan really didn't have the guts to refuse Qian Deafangou's will.
Yu Zi, Qian Deaf Old Gou is his biological father, and refusing Qian Deaf Old Gou's request would be unfilial.
Yu Gong, Qianlong Old Dog is the emperor of our Qing Dynasty. To refuse Qian Deaf Old Dog's will is disloyal.
Those who are unfaithful and unfilial will naturally lose their qualifications to compete for the throne.
In desperation, Aixinjueluo Yongyan had no choice but to accept Qian Deaf's orders honestly. While waiting for the Eight Banners of Mongolia to move south to join together, he was thinking about how to save his own life.
But at this moment, the die-hard farmers who had been recalled to Zhili by Qian Deafangou started to make trouble again.
The reason is that while Henan and Shandong, two places under the rule of "rebels", began vigorous well-drilling operations, the Zhili area, which was also affected by drought, was silent.
Qian Deaf Old Dog in the Forbidden City doesn't care about the drought in the Zhili area. Anyway, no matter how drought it is, it can't hit Qian Deaf Old Dog. Even if the Forbidden City is short of water, Qian Deaf Old Dog can still run to the summer resort, even if
Even the summer resort is short of water, and the money-deaf old dog can still tour east to Shengjing.
Similarly, the princes and ministers in the Qing Dynasty also don't care much about the drought. The reason is similar to Qian Deaf Old Dog. Anyway, as long as the drought can't be done by Qian Deaf Old Dog, the drought basically can't be done by them.
