【Chapter 653】Together?
Zhang Tianhao said: "These people from the Fuwang Party are really cunning! They don't want to give us any substantial benefits, and they also want to secretly challenge us to work with Nanjing."
Xu Xingxia said disapprovingly: "What does it matter if there is an emperor's name? Even if I want to be an emperor, we should go to the Forbidden City to ascend the throne. Call that envoy, I will meet him and give him some advice in person."[]
Zhang Tianhao agreed and soon brought the envoy from Beiming.
The envoy who represented the arrival of the Northern Ming Dynasty was named Cui Chengxiu. If he was a person who was familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he would have an impression of this name. He was the gangster of the eunuch party and was the most important counselor of Wei Zhongxian. The famous "Three Dynasties Meeting" was the one who was responsible for planning. After the eunuch party was destroyed, he was also the one who ended the most miserable. It can be said that during the Tianqi period, he was definitely one of the officials who hated the most besides Wei Zhongxian.
It’s not that this person is so sinister and evil, his thoughts and virtues are corrupt, his destruction of people’s nature, his destruction of heaven and goodness, and his unscrupulous force, and his unscrupulous force and force the Donglin Party members are all consciously depicted by the people of the Donglin Party in later generations. In fact, Cui Chengxiu is just a little clever civil servant. All the shortcomings he has in Donglin Party. However, Cui Chengxiu, as a loser, was nailed to the pillar of shame by his opponent.
In fact, Cui Chengxiu's biggest problem is that it disagrees with the Donglin Party. Originally, Cui Chengxiu was also a young and promising official, and had once thought about being ambitious. Unfortunately, due to factions, he was repeatedly beaten by the Donglin Party members. Many opportunities for promotion were squeezed out by the Donglin Party members. As long as he was a human being, he would probably be angry and fight back when encountering such unfair things. Therefore, it is natural for Cui Chengxiu to join the eunuch Party.
In fact, the biggest problem of the eunuch party is also because it disagrees with the Donglin party. The eunuch party is definitely not as bad as the Donglin party described, and it destroys people and loses all the good. If we look at the ordinary 100 surnames, the eunuch party is much better than the Donglin party. Because the eunuch party is doing things in real life. During the eunuch party's governance, it never delays the food and salary owed to the soldiers in front. The eunuch party has always tried to reduce the burden on the 100 surnames and often requests tax exemption.
On the contrary, the Donglin Party members immediately increased taxes and tried their best to plunder money from the families of the people. They had a lot of money and land, a lot of wives and concubines, and lived a luxurious life, but they were reluctant to pay a penny of taxes, and were still desperately poaching the corners of the country. The actions of the Donglin Party made many officials of the court unhappy. They naturally became the anti-opposition faction of the Donglin Party. In the end, under the pressure of the Donglin Party itself, they were forced to surrender to Wei Zhongxian in order to protect themselves.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that without these civil servants supporting him, Wei Zhongxian, a dead eunuch, would he be able to deal with the Donglin Party? Dongchang and the Jinyiwei would not be able to manage the government. Therefore, thousands of words, in the final analysis, the battle between the eunuch party and the Donglin Party is purely just a dog bite, and no one is noble.
"Keep to the Chairman of the Committee!" Cui Chengxiu saluted in a regular manner.
"Sit!" Xu Xingxia said calmly. This official who was slandered by the Donglin Party in later generations as if he was an African. He looked quite young, with calm behavior and bright eyes. He obviously belonged to the kind of young and promising official. If he had not been forced to surrender to Wei Zhongxian and Wei Zhongxian failed in the end, he probably had a good reputation in history. Research from later generations proved that Cui Chengxiu's mind was obviously very flexible.
Xu Xingxia estimated that Cui Chengxiu had not yet formed any clear political governance proposals at this time. In other words, there was no clear political governance position. If he could be brought to the White Army, he would probably be able to do something. After the Ming Dynasty split, the trend of history underwent tremendous changes, and people's minds changed. Xu Xingxia just took action from the middle and topped the middle and pulled all the talents he liked to the White Army.
"Mr. Chairman of the Committee, the villain came this time to hope to form a friendly alliance with the army. As long as the army is willing to cease fire, everything will be easy to do..." Cui Chengxiu said in a leisurely manner. He hopes to strengthen his tone to show his confidence. Unfortunately, in front of Xu Xingxia, his confidence is really impossible to establish. Tens of thousands of white-clad troops have approached Beijing City, so how can he have a chance to be tough?
Cui Chengxiu tried hard to stabilize his thoughts and expressed all the words that Beiming needed to express. Not only did Beiming try his best to instigate Xu Xingxia to become emperor, but he also strongly suggested to form a friendly alliance with Xu Xingxia and advance and retreat together. For this reason, they were only willing to retain Beizhili and Liaodong. Other places could be given to Xu Xingxia. They even thought of the national name for Xu Xingxia. This national name is Qin.
Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, we are not in a hurry to do the emperor's affairs. I want to know, what are your abilities to protect the safety of Beijing City in Beijing? Even if I want to be the emperor, I have to do it in the Forbidden City. Mr. Cui, do you think so?"
Choi Chengxiu's face changed slightly, and she said in a difficult tone: "The Chairman of the Committee is joking."
Xu Xingxia looked at him with glittering eyes and said seriously: "Mr. Cui, I was not joking. If I wanted to be the emperor, I would definitely declare my ascension in the Forbidden City."
Cui Chengxiu gritted his teeth gently and said slowly: "Sir, the north is a barren and bitter place, and it is useless to get it. A wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River should be the adult's goal!"
Xu Xingxia still looked at him with a bright look and said meaningfully: "Mr. Cui, I heard that a lot of wealth has been accumulated in Jingcheng!"
Cui Chengxiu suddenly felt that things were not good. Xu Xingxia was so straightforward that she was obviously a murderous intent towards Beiming. At this point, no matter what conditions the Beiming offered, it was probably impossible to stop the White-Clothed Army's attack. No wonder the White-Clothed Army in the surrounding areas of Beizhili were so aggressive. It turned out that she had been authorized by Xu Xingxia to directly conquer Beijing City and destroy Beiming.
Thinking about it now, Beiming did overestimate himself. Yes, if Xu Xingxia wanted to be the emperor, she could go to the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City of Beijing. As long as the White-Clothed Army conquered Beijing City, Beiming would no longer exist. By then, he had already controlled half of the world. Does anyone still need to recognize his throne? Under the heavy pressure of the White-Clothed Army, will the Nanjing Dynasty Court dare to fart? It is estimated that the Southern Ming Dynasty Court will not exist for a long time.
In desperation, Cui Chengxiu had to reluctantly say: "Mr. Chairman of the Committee, it's probably not that easy for Guijun to eat us..."
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Mr. Cui, do you really think so?"
Choi Chengxiu was obviously a little discouraged and said helplessly: "Mr. Chairman of the Committee, some things may not necessarily be achieved through war."
Xu Xingxia still said with a smile: "But war is the most direct, thorough and effective means. I like war. Because all those who do not obey can be killed openly and righteously. I want to clean up all the enemies."
Choi Chengxiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's still the case, the villain said goodbye."
Xu Xingxia shook her head and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Mr. Cui, good birds choose trees to live in. Those who know the times are heroes. Don't hang them on a tree! Our white-clothed army welcomes talented and ambitious people to join."
Choi Chengxiu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the villain can't get to the top."
Xu Xingxia said meaningfully: "Mr. Cui is said to have some disputes with Nanjing?"
Choi Chengxiu nodded and said, "Yes, I have disagreements with them in politics, so I have been repeatedly beaten by them. It is very unfair that they deliberately do not give me a chance to be promoted."
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "If you get promotion smoothly, you will join them? You will feel very fair?"
Cui Chengxiu shook her head and said, "Of course not. I have said that I do not agree with their political views. Their approach seriously harms the country and the people. No matter how much they give us, I will not be in vain with them!"
Xu Xingxia was slightly stunned. Joining the crowd? What a familiar word. People from the Donglin Party called Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian together. Now, Cui Chengxiu actually used the four words "Every crowding the crowd", which was obviously extremely indignant to the Donglin Party. Could it be that the conflict between them was really serious and irreconcilable?
Moreover, it is just because of political disagreements? There is no complicated personal grudges? Or there is no personal grudge at all? If Cui Chengxiu and the Donglin Party have no personal grudges, this matter would be interesting. It is rare to have such a fight with the Donglin Party for the sake of the court's affairs.
Of course, Xu Xingxia did not want to overturn Wei Zhongxian, but to gradually analyze the true nature of the eunuch party and the Donglin party. Right and wrong will be judged by future generations. What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, and no one can change it. You cannot push all the sins to the eunuch party just because the eunuch party fails. The Donglin party boasts that it boasts is full of flowers, but in fact, behind the scenes, they are just thieves and prostitutes.
The most obvious example is that the eunuch party is in charge of the government, and the situation outside the pass has been relatively stable. As a result, after the eunuch party collapsed, it quickly fell outside the pass, which attracted many entry into the Qing army into the border. During the eunuch party's administration, the situation in Shaanxi has been relatively stable. After the eunuch party collapsed, large-scale agricultural and civilians broke out in Shaanxi immediately. If it is said that there is no responsibility of the Donglin Party, it will not be believed to be beaten to death.
