1349 Countermeasures
Therefore, the officials and nobles in the capital ate many deer whip, bear paws and ginseng sent by Nurhaci, otherwise his official position would not be promoted so quickly! It can be seen that Nurhaci was a Ming Dynasty bureaucrat who was well versed in the officialdom.
With the tacit approval and support of Li Chengliang, Nurhaci killed Nikanwailan who killed his grandfather and father, and also destroyed Nikanwailan's clan. It was equivalent to Li Chengliang helping him avenge his father and ancestors. So Nurhaci slowly rose with the help of the Li family!
Therefore, Li Chengliang should indeed bear some responsibility for Nurhaci's rise, but it was only a little bit - in the era when there were no officials and no generals and no cowards in the late Ming Dynasty, even without Nurhaci, there were people like Nurhahei and Nurhabai emerging!
And if it weren't for the natural disasters and man-made disasters within the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the situation and stirred up the internal chaos within the Ming Dynasty. Nurhaci wanted to enter the pass, so he dreamed!
In history, Nurhaci did not rebel until three years after Li Chengliang's death. Li Chengliang died, and his eldest son Li Rusong (also served as the general of Liaodong) died unexpectedly while fighting against Mongolia. Li Rubai's ability was not as good as his father and elder brother. In addition, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, who defended Nurhaci and even Huang Taiji, were all pulled down by the censors, and the Ming Dynasty gradually declined.
Finally, Nurhaci later entered Tieling, Li Chengliang's hometown, and more than ten descendants of the Li family were killed in battle! Li Rubai, who was not killed by Nurhaci in the Battle of Sarhu, was finally summoned to the capital and forced to commit suicide! It can be seen how hatred and fearful Nurhaci's family has towards the Li family!
Zu Dashou sighed again, suddenly looked up and said, "Do we think we are accomplices of tigers?"
Wu Sangui said disdainfully: "Uncle, when is this time now? Can you care about that much? Keep your own wealth and other things!"
Zu Dashou nodded and said, "That's the reason! Then have you decided to really surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"
Wu Sangui said firmly: "Yes! Now only the Qing Dynasty can give us power and wealth! After all, you and I know very well what the Ming court looked like! Where are they
What happened! This Shandong soldier will eventually be destroyed by the attacks between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!”
Zu Dashou nodded and said, "Since you have decided, then do it like this! I am old, both of us have to look at you! But then again, what are you going to do with these people?"
Wu Sangui's eyes flashed with fierce light and said, "Some people I know are just following the crowd. Some people have their own opinions, I'm afraid they are still missing the Ming Dynasty! Since that's the case, they can't stay at this time!"
Zu Dashou did not say anything anymore and allowed Wu Sangui to make this decision. In fact, his thoughts were consistent with Wu Sangui. After all, the two families were already tied together. As the saying goes, one prospers and one loss is both prosperous and one loss is both loss!
At this moment, someone outside said anxiously: "You can't go in, the little guy will report it to you immediately!"
Then I heard someone say in blunt Chinese: "What do you report to me? What do you need to report to me on behalf of my master Dao Slave? Is there anything shameful about him?"
Wu and Zu looked at each other quickly and guessed who the person was! It was Dorgon's eyes and ears placed in Shanhaiguan!
The man's name is Jilige, who is a Gushan Ezhen. He led three Eight Banners soldiers of Niulu stationed in Shanhaiguan. He was nominally assisting in defense, but everyone knew that he was staying in Shanhaiguan to monitor Wu Sangui and the others.
Not only did Brother Jili, who was greedy and lustful, and his methods were extremely cruel. He accepted a lot of gifts from Wu Sangui, but he still did not restrain his soldiers and allowed them to harm the people! Moreover, he also looked for women to be abused every day. If the war had not started, Shanhaiguan might not have harmed the city by him!
When Wu Sangui heard Brother Jili's voice, he knew that he had rushed in directly, and his face couldn't help but feel a little angry! But Zu Dashou patted his arm and signaled him not to be angry. He took the initiative to get up and walk towards the door of the room. Wu Sangui had to suppress his anger and follow Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou had just opened the door and broke in after the experience of winning the prize! Behind him was the housekeeper with a look of panic, and several personal soldiers were confronting Jilige's personal soldiers! Both sides glared at each other on the hilt of the knife.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui waved his hand, signaling the butler and his personal soldiers to withdraw, and then forced a smile on his face and said, "Why is Lord Jili so happy? He came to me so late!"
Brother Jili snorted, walked directly into the study between Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, and sat down in the main seat and said, "Mr. Wu, Lord. Zu, don't go around in circles! I heard that your Guanning army is preparing to surrender to the Ming army outside the city. Is this true?"
Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou looked at each other quickly, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes! They never expected that Brother Jili would get the news so soon! This means that there must be detailed works of the Qing army in the city, and even within their Guanning army. Their every move was betting under the surveillance of Brother Jili!
But what they both didn't know was that the news was simply revealed to the Qing army by spies from the Intelligence Bureau, which was to intensify the conflict between the Qing army and the Guanning army.
Before Wu Sangui could speak, Zu Dashou took the lead and said, "Mr. Jili Ge, where did you start?"
Jili Ge snorted again and said, "My people received the news that someone among your generals discussed the surrender of the Ming army, so I'll ask."
Wu Sangui knew that he had to make his attitude clear at this time! You should know that the North City Gate was still under the control of Jilige. Dorgon's army outside the city could enter the city at any time! If someone misunderstood, his wealth and life would be difficult to protect!
So Wu Sangui stepped forward and said, "Lord Jili Ge is very well-informed! I just received the news here and am discussing with Lord Zu how to deal with these people!"
In fact, Brother Jili was also very scared! If the news was true and he only brought a few personal soldiers to come, wouldn’t it be a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth?
But when Wu Sangui's tone was heard, he knew that Wu Sangui had no intention of rebelling. So he felt relieved and said, "Is this just a small number of people trying to make trouble?"
