Chapter 184: The arrest of Yuan Chonghuan
After Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa argued with Boluo that day, although Boluo was angry, he did not dare to do anything to the two of them.
After seeing Huang Taiji, Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa directly escorted back to the center of the Tatars by a special person.
According to the peace agreement, the envoys who sent the Tartars were in the Tartar Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty, were treated like his majesty, and were treated as the king and father, and they were required to be guarded by Huang Taiji.
In addition, envoys must participate in major ceremonies, and Huang Taiji must send a son to the embassy to pay hello every day. The initial condition was that Huang Taiji would come in person, but with Dorgon's efforts, it was finally changed to if Huang Taiji was away, and he could not come to the embassy to pay hello every day, so he could send a son to paying hello every day.
Huang Taiji naturally was unwilling to act too humble, so even in Shen 0yang, he did not come to the embassy to pay his respects in person, and every time he came, Haoge.
After a long time, Haoge had some relationship with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty such as Liu Zongzhou. Even Haoge, who had become more sinic, began to ask Liu Zongzhou for advice. Before Fulin appeared, Haoge always regarded himself as the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, like his Ama Huang Taiji, he hoped to be the lord of the Central Plains and to be the lord of the Central Plains, so he naturally learned about the Central Plains culture.
Let’s not mention Liu Zongzhou’s affairs in the Tartars for the time being, just talk about Wu Sangui’s side.
After Huang Taiji's Eight Banners of Manchuria occupied Daling Hebao, they continued to attack Jinzhou of Wu Xiang's troops on the grounds that Wu Xiang's troops intended to instigate the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty and attempted to intercept the envoys of the Shang Kingdom.
After learning about it, Wu Sangui also understood the purpose of the Ming Dynasty represented by Liu Zongzhou to use the Tatars to eliminate his Guanning Army, which was no longer tolerated by the court.
Although he was a little angry, Wu Sangui did not give up. While strengthening his defense against Jinzhou, he himself led the elite cavalry to gallop towards Shanhaiguan.
Now that Liu Zongzhou's letter was in his hands, he did not believe that the Liaodong General King did not leave the city to meet him.
Moreover, Wu Sangui planned to numb the king in Jin while taking advantage of the fast speed of the spirit cavalry, and rushed into Shanhaiguan quickly.
For this reason, Wu Sangui and the elite cavalry he brought were all dressed up as Tartars in order to provoke the war between Tartars and the Ming Dynasty.
But when Wu Sangui arrived at Shanhaiguan, he found that Shanhaiguan was closed and the caravans that had been in and out of the past were now gone.
"Li Changshang goes and take a look," Wu Sangui ordered, and the man who looked quite majestic rushed over with a team of cavalry.
But as soon as he rushed forward, the thin steel wire as thin as a hair cut Li Changshang of Guanning Army into two halves like a sharp blade, and the same was true for other cavalrymen.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered other cavalry to retreat, and he himself was surprised and said: "What is this king doing in Jin? Haven't they reached a peace agreement with the Tartars and wanted to open the market? How could they suddenly block Shanhaiguan?"
Just when Wu Sangui was puzzled, rows of arrows flew over the sky, and they were all very powerful and had a very long range.
"Retreat!"
Wu Sangui quickly shouted and turned his horse's head and ran back, but many cavalrymen were shot into hedgehogs before they could.
Wu Sangui couldn't help but be furious and roared: "What are you doing? We are just coming to see your supervisor. Why do we have to fight against each other like this? And we have letters from you, Mr. Liu, Zongzhou, and Liu."
At this time, a military officer in Guancheng replied loudly: "According to the imperial edict, Shanhaiguan will be strictly sealed from today. No matter who is close to Shanhaiguan, kill him or her! The supervisor also has instructions to suspend market trade. Shanhaiguan is in a state of martial law. It is best to go back quickly! No one's letters work!"
"Zhu Youxiao!"
Wu Sangui roared to the sky and had to take a horse away. Now Shanhaiguan is prepared, so he can only go back to the city to fight the Tartars honestly.
The reason why he mentioned Zhu Youxiao was naturally guessing that the Ming Dynasty was so determined to give up the Guanning Army of their troops and let the Tartars slaughter it.
However, since there is no way out now, and they are unwilling to give up their status as ruler in Liaodong, and the Tartars, who are eager to expand their living space, are now thinking that they cannot sleep soundly on the side of the bed, so they have no intention of accepting their peace. Therefore, the Wu Xiang tribe could only resist to the death, and the combat power they showed was much more tenacious than when they were defending the city for the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Xiang, who was already a king, also went to Jinzhou City to supervise the war.
When Wu Xiang's troops were fighting fiercely with the Tartars, Yuan Chonghuan was also proudly watching the more and more soldiers under his command. He had always wanted to solve the situation in Liaodong with one force.
But until now, he found that he could not dominate the situation in the entire Liaodong at all. Now, in addition to the Tartars, there is another Wu Xiang tribe in the entire Liaodong, and the Mao Wenlong tribe in the former Dongjiang Town is also better than him.
This made him depressed, so he decided to follow the advice Fan Wencheng gave him when he came to visit him, that is, to take action against Mao Wenlong.
He agreed with Fan Wencheng's analysis. Now he and Mao Wenlong are no longer in the same mountain. If Mao Wenlong had no choice, he could integrate all the power of the Ming Dynasty here and defeat Wu Xiang's troops in one fell swoop under the leadership of Yuan Chonghuan.
Of course, Yuan Chonghuan also secretly used this to integrate his power to take action against the Qing Tartars after the Wu Xiang tribe was pacified, so that he could achieve the great cause of pacifying Liaodong.
It happened that this day was Yuan Chonghuan's birthday. Yuan Chonghuan wrote a very sincere letter to Mao Wenlong, and the content was that Brother Mao must enjoy the food and drink in his territory.
After learning that Mao Wenlong agreed to come, Yuan Chonghuan ambushed the swordsman on the left and right, preparing to get rid of Mao Wenlong in the same way as Emperor Zhengde eliminated Liu Jin.
That night, it was already bright moon in the sky. Yuan Chonghuan changed into regular clothes and sat in the main hall. After looking at the warrior hiding in the dark, he asked, "Why haven't General Mao come yet?"
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, a team of Jinyiwei walked in, and the leader was naturally Shen Lian.
At this time, Shen Lian held the imperial edict in one hand and held the Xiuchun knife in the other, shouting: "According to Your Majesty's order, Yuan Chonghuan secretly communicated with traitors, had ulterior motives, and immediately removed all positions, arrested and entered Beijing, and interrogated them strictly!"
As he said that, Shen Lian waved his hand: "Take it!"
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would take Mao Wenlong tonight, but he turned out to be taken by his Majesty. He instinctively slapped the table and relied on the place where he was his own territory. He asked, "Slowly! How can I let you Jinyiwei take it if you say it, what are the sword and axe drivers on the left and right sides? I suspect that this group of people are the Jinyiwei pretended to be Mao Wenlong's people, and falsely pass on the imperial edict and kill them all!"
Yuan Chonghuan did not want to give up his plan because of His Majesty's will, so he decided to be cruel. No matter whether the group of Jinyiwei in front of him was true or false, he would insist that it was false, and then kill all of them in one fell swoop. Then he would kill them first and then report them. His Majesty would not be able to find evidence to punish him.
However, not long after, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but look surprised again, because all the trusted generals he and he stood up, and one of them bowed to Yuan Chonghuan: "Forgive me, General. Now, I dare not hide it. We are all secret spies of the Jinyiwei. Follow General General to North Korea and then here again. Now Your Majesty has a decree to take you. This is Chen Lian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and is not Mao Wenlong, who is fake." To be continued.
