Chapter 426 Recognition of the Qing Dynasty
Xu Zhihu said: "This matter involves foreign enemies, so the Qing emperors arrested him and handed him over to the Beizhen Fushi Office for interrogation."
The division of powers of the Jinyiwei Nan and Beizhenfushi were clearly formed by Zhu Meiyu.
The Nanzhen Fu Office is responsible for the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, supervising officials and the people; the Beizhen Fu Office is responsible for the external affairs of the Ming Dynasty, exploring the enemy situation, and supervising the army.
Of course, this system still has some shortcomings, so recently Zhu Mai has been discussing with Hao Guangming how to reform the Jinyiwei system again.
After all, the Jinyiwei is an intelligence department and can play an important role at any time. Applicability must be ensured.
Li Siming clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Majesty, according to the interrogation of our North Town Fufu Department, the Qing emperor arranged at least three detailed works in our southern Zhili, and each share was unaware of each other.
At present, we can only remove the Qing barbarians’ work based on the information we have confessed.”
Zhu Mai frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Is there no way to instigate the Qing emperor to do things in detail and invade the Qing emperor?"
Hearing Zhu Mai's dissatisfaction, Li Siming's face turned pale and said, "The Beizhen Fushi has already done this matter, but the time is still short, so there is no gain for the moment."
Although Zhu Meiyu had the ability to travel to and from later generations, she could not distinguish those works that had not left their names in history. What's more, the development context of this world is very different from the history of Hao Guangming's world.
She could only say helplessly: "Then let's pull out this fine work first."
Speaking of which, Zhu Ma was not afraid of the Qing emperor stealing any important information - she sent the imperial guards to guard the real important places, and the Qing emperors could not lurk in in a short period of time.
After Li Siming and Xu Zhihu said goodbye, Hao Guangming saw that Zhu Ma was a little depressed because of the Qing emperor's careful actions, so he persuaded him.
"Actually, the intelligence work of the Qing Dynasty was done well in all feudal dynasties.
It is said that even in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, people were sent to sneak into Europe and inquire about the situation of the countries there.
It was only from Qianlong that the Qing Dynasty rulers became arrogant and implemented a complete policy of closing the country, which gradually became blind and became more and more backward.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty entered China with a small number of people, and it was an important reason for doing a good job in all aspects of intelligence.
For example, businessmen who were headed by the eight major Shanxi merchants in Shanxi who did business outside the pass once brought a lot of important information to the Qing Dynasty.
There are conspiracy theorists here even believe that your father defeated the bandits several times and went to the critical point, the Qing barbarians entered the bandits, forcing your father to dispatch troops to resist the Qing barbarians, and the Qing barbarians were deliberately doing it with the benefit of intelligence.
.
Now that the Qing throne has occupied the north, there will definitely be no shortage of detailed works arranged in the south. But even if they steal some information, they cannot change the general trend and cannot turn over the market. You don’t have to worry about this.”
Speaking of this, Hao Guangming paused before saying with a smile: "Actually, I really want to know what expressions would be like after Dorgon, the Qing Dynasty, after learning all kinds of information related to you, and then
What to react.”
Zhu Mai imagined this matter according to Hao Guangming's words, and her mood improved greatly. She also laughed, "In the words of later generations, their expressions must be very wonderful."

Beijing.
The weather was already cooler in August, but the senior officials of Qingtingzhong were irritated.
Originally, everything went smoothly since they entered the customs in May last year. Even Li Zicheng, who had once entered Beijing, was beaten to escape in a panic by them, and was even forced to die by them in an otherwise unfamous Thunder Mountain.
But when they encountered something related to the Emperor Zhaowu, none of them went well and suffered major defeats one after another.
In the Battle of Yangzhou, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers led by Duoduo were almost destroyed.
They had decided to withdraw in Henan, but the Ming army was bitten by Luke Dehun's troops, and once again lost tens of thousands of troops.
It should be noted that the combined Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners army was only about 200,000.
As a result, more than 60,000 were lost in Yangzhou, and thousands were lost in Henan and Huguang. Including the losses in Shaanxi, one-third of the Eight Banners Army's strength was lost within half a year!
It can almost be said to have shaken the foundation of the country.
Since the specific news of the Battle of Yangzhou in May this year reached Beijing, the voices of the withdrawal of the Qing Dynasty from the Qing Dynasty have not completely disappeared.
At first, Dorgon hesitated whether to retreat directly to the outside of the pass, but later he was persuaded by Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou's words to persuade Dorgon were very simple - if the Qing Dynasty retreated outside the pass, its strength would only be further reduced; and since the Ming Dynasty had a British master, its strength would inevitably become stronger and stronger.
Therefore, if the Qing Dynasty gained a foothold in the pass, it would be possible to compete with the Ming Dynasty. However, if it retreated outside the pass, it would have to wait to be cleaned up by the Ming Dynasty.
To take a step back, even if the Qing Dynasty does not want to enter the capital of China, if you want to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, you have to compete with the Ming Dynasty first.
Otherwise, with the decades of hatred between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, how could the Yingzhu of the Ming Dynasty let go of the Qing Dynasty?
After accepting this truth, Dorgon decided to try to stay in the pass first. So he tried his best to enter the palace several times, and finally persuaded the Empress Dowager Bumubutai.
Afterwards, the Regent and the Empress Dowager joined forces to temporarily suppress the voices of the Qing Dynasty's withdrawal from the outside of the pass.
Originally, Dorgon also believed that the defeat in the Battle of Yangzhou was mainly because Duoduo and others underestimated the enemy.
But when he received news about the Empress Zhaowu from the south recently, Dorgon gradually realized that his original idea was wrong.
Because most of the news sounded outrageous, he was still a little reluctant to believe it, so he suppressed it and did not reveal it.
When he personally sent a detailed leader to Nanjing yesterday and brought back some things, he realized that the outrageous news he had received before was mostly true!
The confirmation of these news was too shocking. Even if Dorgon was authoritarian, he did not dare to suppress it.
So, on the same day, Bingdao took the mastermind who had been to Nanjing and the few things he brought back to inform Bumubutai, the young emperor of Shunzhi, Dai Shan and other core senior leaders of the Qing Dynasty in Wuying Hall.
Of course, Hong Chengchou was still licensed to stand in the hall.
"You said that Emperor Zhaowu is really a fairy reincarnated and has magical powers?" Bumubutai said incredible.
Dorgon smiled bitterly, "Although I still don't want to believe it, the news from all aspects proves that this matter is indeed true. In addition, you see, this thing is a magic weapon of the Ming army that the soldiers in front of us snatched back to death.
”
As he said that, Dorgon carefully took out a weird thing that had been broken at least one-fifth of it from a mahogany box.
Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou and others narrowed their eyes and saw that this thing was only as big as a palm. Although it was broken, it could still see that the manufacturing was extremely precise, but it was difficult to see its material.
"What is this?" Bumubutai asked with a frown.
Dorgon said: "It is said that this magic weapon is called 'walkie'. Only two can transmit voices for thousands of miles."
