Seunggyeongbokgung Palace (formerly Joseon Palace), Sizheng Palace.

Dorgon, Lord of the North, cowered in the dragon seat, staring at the two copies on the bookcase, his brow furrowed.

These two compendiums, one is the Ming army's westward expedition to Mongolia, and the other is Wu Sangui's apology.

The Qing Dynasty has lost the ability to take the opportunity to send troops to Liaodong, no matter whether the Ming army can conquer Mongolia or not, it has nothing to do with him, and what he is most worried about now is how to deal with Wu Sangui.

After the peace negotiations between the Ming and Qing dynasties were successful, Wu Sangui, who was hiding in the old village of Alakhtu, finally took his men and horses out of the mountains and returned to the Korean Peninsula.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, Wu Sangui passively avoided the battle and led 30,000 Guanning troops to take the lead in routing, so that the Zhenghuang Banner and the Jinzhou Army on the Western Front lost their flanks, and they were defeated in horror, and Zu Dashou and the banner owner Suke Saha were finally killed.

This kind of dog minion who intends to preserve his strength is an unforgivable sin, and in the past, Dorgon would never be spared.

However, at this time...... I am dying, the number of Manchurian soldiers in the Qing Dynasty is too small, and I dare not easily suppress the Han army banner.

Dolgon was shot twice in the body, and most of the bullets used in the Heding rifle were lead bullets, which were heavy metals, which caused skin or subcutaneous infections after penetrating the skin of the body, causing redness, swelling, fever and other discomforts, and long-term infection led to gold poisoning, which was life-threatening.

Dolgon's blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract had been punctured for so long that he had been poisoned for a long time, his cells had mutated, and he had endured physical and mental pain all day long!

In order to help his brother Azig ascend to the throne, Dolgon endured not to take his last breath and sent Azig to Dongying to continue to capture Dongying people to replenish the source of troops and expand his strength.

Dolgon wanted to weaken the strength of the Han army, but he didn't want to affect the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, let alone let the surrendered Han generals feel that the Qing court was not at ease with them.

After all, there are too few Manchurian soldiers now, and the power of the Han people needs to be relied on in order for the Qing Dynasty to gain a foothold in this world.

At present, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Li Guohan, Li Shutai and other Han military banners have a total of nearly 80,000 troops, less than 20,000 Manchurian soldiers, less than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers, 30,000 Korean soldiers, and less than 20,000 Dongying soldiers.

Among them, the Manchurian soldiers were in charge of Dolgon and Zilharang respectively, and the Mongol soldiers were controlled by Feiyangguo and Ashan, and the power strugglers of the Qing Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the Manchu and Mongolian banners, and the Han army banners, Korea, and Dongying were all objects that needed to be wooed.

Because Manchuria is weak, the Han Army Banner and the Manchurian Old Eight Banners have developed a disagreement, and if they want to stabilize the Han generals, they must make some substantive concessions and give them greater rights, and it is best to let the two sides contain each other and control it themselves.

Thinking of this, Dolgon smiled bitterly, his brother Azig is a good hand at fighting, and he is still far from playing conspiracy and tricks, and he doesn't know if he can clean up the mess of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

If Azig can't do it, let the unsanctuary Fyango succeed him? It occurred to Dorgon that the IQs of these two guys seemed to be below the average.......

In addition to these two retards, Dorgon thought of two adopted sons: Fulin and Doni.

"Fulin is the cub of Huang Taiji and Bumu Butai, if he is allowed to succeed to the throne, when he grows up, he learns that I killed him Amma, and he must not dig Lao Tzu's grave?"

Thinking of this, Dorgon shook his head again, and thought about his other adopted son, Doni.

Prince Yu Duoduo has two sons, the eldest son Zhulan is ten years old, the second son Doni is nine years old, Chongzhen twelve years, Duoduo was besieged and killed by the Tianwu army in Baoding Mansion, and later after Dolgon usurped the throne, let Duoduo's eldest son Zhulan inherit the title of Prince Yu and adopt the second son Doni as an adopted son.

Compared to his other adopted son, Fulin, Dolgon prefers Dhoni, after all, this is his own brother's son, and he is much closer than Huang Taiji's son.

"Doni is a good boy, but his age is too young, his foundation is too thin, and there are not many people who support him, if only Zilharang and Hong Chengchou could support him......"

Dolgon sighed and ordered someone to summon Hong Chengchou, the king of Dingnan.

Named the king of the south, Hong Chengchou can be described as a spring breeze and has taken a big step towards his life goal.

Proud on the inside, low-key on the outside, this is Hong Chengchou's concept of being an official, and on the way to his life goal, he has become more cautious.

After Hong Chengchou entered the hall to see the ceremony, Dolgon, whose vitality was becoming more and more weak, could say less, he waved his hand, shielded the eunuchs and palace maids serving left and right, pointed to Wu Sangui on the bookcase, and said straight to the point: "King Dingnan, what do you think I should do with Wu Sangui." ”

Hong Chengchou also knew that this guy was about to lose his bearing, and he didn't want to listen to nonsense, so he said bluntly at the moment: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the current situation in the country is difficult, the Ming army is eyeing Liaodong, ready to attack the Qing Dynasty at any time, Wu Sangui has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, don't touch him, and focus on appeasement." ”

Dolgon naturally knew that although the Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners were more elite than those of the Han Army, if Wu Sangui was really forced to rebel, it would be a big trouble, and maybe it would cause a chain reaction.

He asked, "How to appease?" ”

Hong Chengchou seemed to have been prepared, and replied: "The emperor appeased Wu Sangui and named him the king of Pingxi, the prince of the throne, but now he can be demoted to the king of the county, and the small punishment is great." ”

Dorgon was silent for a moment, and said, "What's the use of just demoting the lord, his soldiers are still there, what should I do next time I violate the military order?" You don't have to hide anything in front of me, just say it. ”

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, and said: "The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, Wu Sangui's 30,000 Guan Ning army, some of which belong to the ancestral family, the emperor can improve Zu Zerun's status, let it become a banner of its own, and divide them apart......."

Dolgon's eyes lit up, the two families of Wu and Zu have always been together, if Zu Zerun is also crowned king, and the Han army is a banner to strengthen the mountain, not only can the division of the troops, but also take the opportunity to buy Zu Zerun.

In the eyes of these traitors, having milk is a mother, Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew on the surface, Zu Zerun's cousin, but in fact, they have no blood relationship, Zu Dashou's sister is Wu Sangui's stepmother, and they are completely tied together by interests.

As long as there are greater interests to replace, don't talk about fake relatives, real relatives will have to turn their faces if they don't do it well!

Hong Chengchou said again: "According to the minister's opinion, it is better to let Wu Sangui raise troops to garrison Busan, and let Zu Zerun lead troops to garrison Pyongyang, and break them up one south and one north, and they cannot easily join forces after a thousand miles apart, so they are not more than 10,000 people, so there is no need to worry."

A smile appeared on Dolgon's face, Hong Chengchou was really a scheming person, and this plan not only punished Wu Sangui on the surface, but also divided his soldiers.

And going to Busan is the port where Azig travels between North Korea and Dongying, Wu Sangui is there, and the two sides often come and go, so that Azig can take the opportunity to woo Wu Sangui......

As for Fei Yangguo, who is stationed in Pyongyang, he can also be transferred back to Shengjing to strengthen his own weight.

Dolgon laughed for a moment, and suddenly asked coldly: "King Dingnan, who do you think is the most suitable person to be the lord of the Qing Dynasty after my great trip?" ”
