To be honest, Hong Chengchou was also very curious about the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Before, he had analyzed it to Jirgalang. However, judging from the information he has learned now, it is likely that it is wrong.

As a result, he became even more curious.

At least one point, Hong Chengchou was very confused.

From the arrested Ming army, who did not accept the arrest, at least the Ming army in Shanhaiguan no longer had any money to owe. This was simply unimaginable in Hong Chengchou's opinion.

Before he surrendered, he was the governor of Ji Liao. His Guanning Army was actually the border army that the court valued the most, and the money and food allocated to him were the most among the border troops in various places.

But even so, Guanning Army never said that there was no owed salary.

With the little financial resources of the court, even if he received three pays, he was turned upside down by the thieves, and he would definitely not be able to pay military pay on time!

After hearing Dorgon ask him all this, he actually wanted to say, I'll go back and take a look.

However, Hong Chengchou actually understood that Dorgon could not let him go. Because if he left, he would probably not come back.

Now that he is begging here, Hong Chengchou naturally wants to show his talents in the hope of being reused. Of course, he has been doing this.

After thinking for a while, he respectfully replied to Dorgon: "Your Highness, if you want to spy on the news in the pass, you can only send people to the pass. It is not very convenient for people from Liaodong, but it is best to be the one who was originally in the capital."

"How to go? How do you go?" Dorgon said seriously after hearing this, "How can he ensure that the message he sent back is not fake news?"

Hong Chengchou's mind was indeed brilliant. After hearing so many questions, he did not think hard, but immediately answered Dorgon: "It is impossible to enter the pass from Shanhaiguan. You can only find a remote place along the Great Wall in the capital and climb over it."

Seeing Dorgon listening carefully, he continued, "As for coming back, it is best to bribe the Ming army's guards! If you can't bribe, you can only sneak across the Great Wall. There must be someone on the Mongolian grassland to respond regularly."

After hearing this, Dorgon nodded and praised it, and said, "Continue!"

"As for ensuring the authenticity of the news, you can only use cross-comparison." Hong Chengchou gave an idea for Dorgon, "You can send two or even three groups of people to sneak across the Great Wall, and you don't know each other. Once the news is compared, your highness can verify the news."

Speaking of this, he paused and secretly observed Dorgon before continuing: "As for whether it is reliable, your highness can choose Han people who are small and carefree. Although it cannot ensure that everything is foolproof, it can also ensure their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty to the greatest extent possible!"

After hearing this, Dorgon had to sigh in his heart that it was still the Han people's brains that were good!

So, he thought about it in his heart according to Hong Chengchou's suggestions.

To be honest, it’s hard to choose from!

In Liaodong, Han people in the capital are generally Baoyi, which belongs to the lowest level. Where did these Baoyi come from? If they were put back to the pass, they would definitely go without going back!

If you temporarily match these Han people to get married in Liaodong, those who have no feelings for each other will basically not come back after leaving.

And they sent these people to the pass because they wanted to do business for the Qing Dynasty and would definitely give them a lot of money. In this way, even if they were young, they would probably not come back, and would marry and have children in the pass, and live a wealthy life.

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but feel a headache.

Finally, he raised his head, looked at Hong Chengchou and asked, "Can the Han people in Liaodong?"

As soon as he heard this, Hong Chengchou knew what Dorgon was worried about, so he replied: "If the Ming Dynasty retreated all the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong into the pass and sent the Han people in the pass, it would be OK, but relatively speaking, those with Liaodong accents are not as detailed as those of the local accents in the capital!"

After hearing this, Dorgon thought about it carefully and still had a headache. Finally, he praised Hong Chengchou for a while and sent him away without any substantial reward!

Afterwards, Dorgon went to Daishan to discuss it.

As of now, only the two of them are the regents, and as long as the two of them have agreed on something, it is basically decided.

Dai Shan also had a headache after hearing Dorgon's words. After thinking for a long time, he said to Dorgon: "It's too inconvenient to go back and forth in the pass. If he could buy the Ming border generals, it would be much more convenient. For this purpose, he should send someone who can trust and do things over there!"

In response, Dorgon nodded, and the two of them decided to choose the candidates together.

Zu Dashou, if this guy fled back to Ming, Ming would definitely believe him. However, the Qing Dynasty would not believe him, no!

Kong Youde? Geng Zhongming? Shang Kexi...

Discussing the past one by one, in the end, Dorgon and Dai Shanzhen selected three people.

Geng Jimao was the son of Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun. He has always performed well and is loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Geng Jimao had just given birth to a son, only a few months old, and he heard that he was named Geng Jingzhong. When he went to the pass, Dorgon and Daishan could feel at ease.

In original history, Geng Jimao was indeed loyal to the Qing Dynasty and made great achievements in the capture of the world by the Qing Dynasty.

The second person is King Zhishun Shangkexi. Since surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he has also performed very well. With the Jianlu fighting south and north, he has made great achievements, including the Battle of Songjin, and has also made many contributions. Although the Navy was defeated, he did not show any dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty.

Another reason why Dorgon and Daishan chose him was that he had two children, and this person was very good at using his brain. If he tried to judge the situation and bribed the Ming border generals, he would be more confident than others.

Although he is one of the three famous kings, he has never entered the pass and has been in Dongjiang Town before, so there will definitely not be many people who know him in the capital.

The last candidate is Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan who surrendered to Jianlu in the Battle of Songjin.

This man secretly colluded with the Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to surrender with his son Xia Shu as a hostage. He also welcomed Jianlu and stole the city on the night of February 18, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. In the morning of the next day, Xia Chengde personally led his troops to capture Hong Chengchou and the governor Qiu Minyang, general Wang Tingxiang, Zu Dale and others, which led to Qiu Minyang's suicide and Cao Bianjiao and others' death in the battle.

He had a son as a hostage and did such a thing. Both Dorgon and Daishan were relieved of him. Because if he was caught by the Ming court, he would definitely not let him go.

After the candidates were decided, Dorgon summoned these people separately, and then gave them a lot of money to choose their own subordinates, quietly detoured the Mongolian grassland, and sneaked across the Great Wall into the pass.

Of course, Geng Jimao, Shang Kexi and Xia Chengde didn't know the existence of each other. In other words, these are three lines.

……………………

Let’s talk about Zu Dashou, after hearing about the Battle of Ningyuan, he was shocked and stunned.

He never expected that when would the imperial army have such combat power?

This is not a naval battle, nor is it a sneak attack, but a large army fight. Moreover, the court's army mainly attacked and Jianlu defended, and actually destroyed 30,000 Jianlu's troops!

It's really incredible!

After coming back to his senses, he felt that his decision was the most correct thing!

So, while Hong Chengchou began to inquire about the details of the battle in Ningyuan, he was still planning to escape secretly.

Later, the details of the Ningyuan Battle were no longer kept secret, and he was even more happy to know that his nephew Wu Sangui also participated in the Ningyuan Battle.

In order to escape back to the pass as soon as possible, Zu Dashou showed more and more that he was not nostalgic for Ming Kingdom. In addition to finding his original subordinates to eat, drink, chat and show loyalty to Jianlu, he also asked others to do this.

For example, Xia Chengde, who is also a member of the Guanning Army.

However, one day, he couldn't find Xia Chengde, which made him a little confused, so he pulled Xia Chengde's son Xia Shu to drink.

No matter what, Zu Dashou is just an old fox, and Xia Shu can't be his opponent at all. After drinking too much, three sets and two sets. Although Xia Chengde had instructed his son, Xia Shu still inadvertently revealed the news.

Regarding this situation, Zu Dashou was silent on the surface, as if he had heard of it. But as soon as he got back, he immediately wrote a secret letter and sent someone to deliver it to his nephew.

……………………

On Pi Island, Li Laiheng, the general of Dongjiang Town, looked at the sky from time to time. When he saw him, he knew that he was unwilling to handle military affairs and was obviously absent-minded.

When the Jinyiwei Army Supervisor saw it, he smiled and said, "According to the previous news of the Clippers, it was almost here when we asked for a date. Why don't we go to the dock to take a look?"

There was news before that the navy who went back to Denglai would return to Pi Island in the near future. In addition to food and grass, there were five thousand cavalrymen.

Originally, Li Laiheng didn't need to be greeted with his title and military position. However, the five thousand cavalrymen were a bit special, which was the reason why Li Laiheng was restless.

In this regard, the Jinyiwei Army obviously understood it, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

When Li Laiheng heard this, he was not pretentious and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I can't stay in the yamen anyway!"

To be honest, he was already very happy when he first heard the Clippers coming to report that the five thousand cavalry came to his office to obey orders.

The Pidao has never made any military achievements, because about a thousand cavalrymen have no threat at all when the Jianlu are prepared.

What he never expected was that the commander of these five thousand cavalry was Li Guo and Gao Yigong.

To be honest, when he heard it, he couldn't believe his ears and always thought it was an auditory hallucination.

How could his adoptive father Li Guo and Gao Yigong become a general in the court? Didn’t he always follow the general? Will they be willing to give up the general?

In Li Laiheng's opinion, he did not think that Li Zicheng would surrender to the court!
