Chapter 8 Anger (Part 1)

Because he had prepared to personally fight once last year, the ceremonial guards and car drivers were ready-made, and the relevant arrangements were discussed in detail, the preparations for Shunzhi's personal fight were very fast, and he had already seen it for a few days under the emperor's strict order. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sony had not yet come up with any good solutions to persuade him, but he still wanted to delay the time. However, before he could come up with a countermeasure to delay, Shunzhi called him into the palace again. The three who were called together were Oboi, Sukhazha and Ebilong.

When the four slaves entered the palace, they heard that Shunzhi was furious again. Today, they killed a large group of eunuchs, palace maids, and even several guards.

Originally, after sleeping for two days, Shunzhi began to consider the feasibility and significance of personally expedition. If the emperor personally expeditioned but Deng Ming had already run away, the trouble would be a little more than worth it. If Deng Ming could not be captured, it would be unnecessary to mobilize such a group of troops just for Zhou Peigong. But Shunzhi's words had already been spoken, and he was still looking forward to the local officials in Jiangnan who were fighting to intercept Deng Ming to show his own performance. If the local officials really delayed Deng Ming's pace, and Deng Ming escaped because Shunzhi did not personally supervise the war, it would be a pity and may also undermine the morale of the officials to serve the country.

This mentality of worrying about gains and losses made Shunzhi not change its original plan and continue to urge the preparations for the personal expedition. Since he might have left Beijing for a while, the emperor wanted to first decide the posthumous title of his favorite concubine Dong E. If he still launched a personal expedition in the end, Shunzhi would not have to worry about this matter if he changed his mind and did not personally expedition, he would still have to do it. It would be better to do it early than to do it late.

As a result, a guard with no eyes told someone privately, "Will the little master give him a posthumous title? Do you want to give him a bad posthumous title?" This was reported to the emperor by a man who had a grudge against him. Shunzhi was furious and arrested the guard for interrogation. At first, the unlucky guy refused to confess, but later he couldn't bear torture and revealed all the rumors circulating in Beijing recently: Deng Ming was actually Borgo, the emperor's younger brother. The concubine (Dong Efei) was favored by the emperor and fled to death. She looked at her wife being hated by the emperor.

He was admitted to the palace and was named a concubine; after Borgo surrendered to the thief as a prince, he was supported by the crowds in the west and defeated the imperial army. Even Can Ming was convinced by his bravery. Taizong was indeed well-known afterwards, which was enough to make the enemy bend down... Recently, Borgo, who was a pseudonym Deng Ming, threatened the canal transportation and vowed to take back his wife's house. In a rage, the emperor killed Dong Efei and several of her palace maids and eunuchs, and wanted to personally conquer Jiangnan, so that this brother who pretended to die became a real death. The rumors are now full of ideas and are quite human-shaped, which makes many people suspicious.

Shunzhi was furious when he heard this and killed the guard on the spot. The unlucky guy even grabbed some people before he died, and none of them were spared. After being implicated, more than a hundred people in the palace were killed in one day.

When he saw Sony and his gang, Shunzhi still had blue veins on his forehead, red silk in his eyes, and ordered with murderous intent: "Issuing an order, if someone in the capital dares to argue with the imperial concubine, no matter the noble and humble, he will be executed!"

After giving this order, Shunzhi reiterated his previous decision: "I am determined to go south to fight, ceremonial guards, and leave the capital immediately after the car is ready!" Now Shunzhi only felt full of resentment and had nowhere to vent. If he was held in the Forbidden City and did not go out for a walk, he felt that he was about to explode. The emperor who only wanted to go out as soon as possible added orders, without waiting for the Eight Banners to prepare all the Eight Banners. He planned to set out first with the two thousand Manchu Eight Banners and the three thousand Mongolian Eight Banners, which had been the fastest move so far, and the rest of the army could catch up later.

Although Shunzhi was already angry and crazy, he knew that the capital still needed people to take charge. After thinking about it, he decided to let Sony and Obai stay and handle daily government affairs for him, and then hand it over to the Empress Dowager for approval; Suksaha and Ebilong continued to rectify their troops, and brought the subsequent 15,000 Manchu, Meng and Han Eight Banners to catch up at full speed. Shunzhi strictly ordered them to meet with them before the Imperial Camp arrived in Yangzhou, and then cross the river to Nanjing together.

Dong Efei's incident has always been Shunzhi's unscathing. Back then, he coveted his beautiful sister-in-law, which made Borgo die inexplicably. Ten days after the prince's death, he included his sister-in-law in the palace and quickly appointed him as a concubine. He was promoted to the imperial concubine in a short time. When he was enthroned by his sister-in-law, Shunzhi also issued an edict on the standard of enthroning the queen and immigrated the world with the standard of the emperor's ascension to the throne. After his sister-in-law gave birth to his son, Shunzhi even publicly claimed that his sister-in-law gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor as his "first son".

Although the emperor was already shameless in his face, Sony and others knew very well that this kind of thing that harmed his brother to take his wife was still a great humiliation. It was like slapping the emperor by the emperor. Now, Shunzhi's beloved sister-in-law and his "first son" had just died, and this kind of rumors were rumored, which undoubtedly stabbed Shunzhi hard in the heart.

"I will send another order to Liangjiang and Huguang. No matter what method they use, I must intercept the Deng thief. If I fail to do things, I will be treated as the same thief!" Shunzhi shouted: "Those who are afraid of fighting will be treated as the same thief!"

"Deng Ming is dead." Sony and others thought that this was a thought in their minds. Shunzhi made people's imperial edicts with extremely severe tone and murderous intent was revealed. Although this was an imperial edict for officials from Liangjiang and Huguang, Sony and the others felt a cold sweat coming out of their backbone: "The emperor is hating Deng Ming to the bone. It would be better for Liangjiang and Huguang to seriously damage the vitality of Huguang, and they must kill Deng Ming first."

No one dared to be in trouble at Shunzhi at this time. The ministers of the Qing court were slaves after all. If the emperor was annoyed, they would not be able to retire and return home like the ministers of Chongzhen. So no one advised Shunzhi not to fight in person. Instead, they actively proposed suggestions. No one dared to stand up and alleged that Shunzhi's ban and urgent military plan would only fuel the spread of rumors. In fact, even Sukhasa felt a little shaken. As the minister of the two white flags, his status was originally very awkward, and he knew that the emperor

Being polite to himself is just a means to win over the two white flags. Sukhasa knew that there had been rumors in the flag before. Many people who were dissatisfied with the emperor were muttering that Deng Ming and Prince Rui had an unclear relationship because they missed Dorgon's status in the era. However, Sukhasa disdained this and did not believe it at all. But after seeing the almost disobedient emperor today, Sukhasa couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Who is this Deng Ming? Why would the emperor hate him to such a level? Is it true that he has anything to do with the old prince?"

...

Jiangnan, after seeing the second imperial edict of Shunzhi, which was the one that recognized the recommendation of Liangjiang, granted Zhou Peigong and the governor of the two provinces, and gave him full responsibility for intercepting Deng Ming's official documents, Jiang Guozhu suddenly woke up and immediately threw the idea of ​​abandoning his official position behind his mind. The more carefully checked the military and inventory in the past few days, the idea of ​​Jiangning's absconding the idea of ​​fire and Deng Ming was unrealistic, so the idea of ​​abandoning his official position became stronger and stronger. In the past two days, he almost occupied the entire brain of Jiangning's governor. Yesterday, he did not sleep and pondered the place where he absconded, pseudonym and the arrangements for the rest of his life for the whole night. Today, after seeing the second imperial edict, Jiang Guozhu was overjoyed and laughed wildly: "It turns out that the emperor is not going to pursue Deng Ming all the way to Sichuan. I said too, is this worth it? Just to ensure the safety of Jiangnan, it is easy to deal with. Is it okay to send Admiral Deng away immediately."

Zhou Peigong, who was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, smiled when he saw this imperial edict. Although the emperor's imperial edict implied that if Zhou Peigong failed the expectations of the court, the two governors would not be able to save them, but these two governors were easy to come, so they would be lost. Zhou Peigong is only thirty now, and a prefect is dazzling enough. He believes that he is not a greedy person. Besides, the position of the governor and the family confiscation and extermination of the clan are more important. Zhou Juren is still very clear.

"The emperor will go to see Admiral Deng now, and I will advise him to leave immediately." After reading the imperial edict, Zhou Peigong immediately asked Jiang Guozhu for his order.

"Okay, go quickly." Jiang Guozhu told Zhou Peigong not to worry about the conditions. As long as Deng Ming was willing to leave quickly, everything was easy to discuss. In order to show sincerity, Jiang Guozhu quickly ordered the confiscation of Jiangnan's shipyards. The reason was to build a navy to intercept Deng's thief, and then tie the shipbuilders to Deng Ming to send them. Jiang Guozhu would take this matter as a top priority, and it would take a few days to delay. It is estimated that Zhou Peigong would enter Deng Ming's military camp, and Jiang Guozhu would send Jiangning's shipbuilding masters to Zhenjiang. He handed over to the craftsmen one day earlier, so Deng Ming could leave one day earlier, right?

In addition to craftsmen, Jiang Guozhu also said that if Deng Ming, who was greedy for money, Zhou Peigong could also satisfy him. How could the military's expulsion fee be paid? Jiang Guozhu had already made up his mind and stopped assembling troops immediately, and then stopped all the green camps in Jiangnan, without preparing equipment, saving the money and sending the plague god.

"I can also write a letter to Yangzhou. The Governor of the Grain Transport should have made a lot of money. The emperor personally won the first one to be unlucky. He also has to contribute to the matter of sending God. In addition, Nanchang, Zhang Chao should not run away. I also have to send a letter. But, I can only manage Liangjiang." Jiang Guozhu paused and stared at Zhou Peigong. This was the first thing that Deng was the governor of Huguang. Everyone had to do it. Does Zhang Changgeng still want to stay out of here?

"The officials understand." Zhou Peigong was also a wonderful person, and he could tell me one thing: "The officials will write a letter to Wuchang, and ask the Governor of Huguang to prepare food and fodder so that Admiral Deng can return at full speed. He will never delay the matter of food and grass on the road. After entering Huguang, he will never let Admiral Deng get upset because of the money and the place."
