Chapter 1124: Heroic Twilight?
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Little Ant Carrying a Stone".
Dorgon knew very well that no one in this world would choose to follow a master whose time was short, even if he was still in power.
Even if it is the emperor, in the twilight, the former confidants will flatter the prince.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, no one can live forever.
Dolgon also had to blackmail the Empress Dowager Bumubutai into marrying in exchange for his support for Little Fulin.
Otherwise, two years ago, Dolgon would have been torn apart alive by the clan.
Dolgon has too many brothers, he is ranked fourteenth, Hauge who was killed in prison by him last year, that is his own brother, and Azig who came back from the desert with Shen Zhiyuan, and wants to blackmail Dolgon to help him become the king of his uncle, is also Dolgon's own brother, as Azig said to Dolgon, your fourteenth can be the regent of the imperial father, what happened to me as the elder brother as the imperial uncle and prince?
This can only be blamed on Dolgon's father Nurhachi who is too capable of giving birth, giving birth to sixteen in his lifetime.
You really can't blame Dolgon for not being welcomed, any of Dolgon's brothers, when they reach Dolgon's position, I'm afraid they will also become the target of public criticism.
Power, get in trouble!
Dorgon was wise, and from the day he knew that his body could not hold up, he began to change his strategy, no, this is not called strategy, but a compromise with his inner desires in desperation.
Since you can't be the emperor, so can you be the emperor's Lao Tzu, so you don't have to betray the notoriety of conspiracy, but you can also let yourself enjoy the blood of the Taimiao.
This is the legend of Bumu Butai's marriage, God knows, the merry Dolgon, who has a man's passion for a widowed sister-in-law who is almost forty years old, as for the legendary romantic love story of the earth-shattering ghosts...... Hehe, if you let Dolgon know, I'm afraid I'll vomit directly, if you want this body and bones, Dolgon would rather pamper Hauge's daughter-in-law.
Since Bumu Butai compromised and married Dolgon under a secret decree, and Dolgon got his wish and was called the regent of the royal father by Fulin, he had to repay the favor.
So there was the return of Dolgon's two years.
But this does not mean that Dorgon wants to give up power, on the contrary, Dorgon wants to draw power.
Power is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Once the loss of power is formed, it will collapse for thousands of miles, and the so-called tree falls and scatters, which is a thousand-mile rout.
Countless people who have offended will swarm up, suck his bones and blood, and crush his bones to ashes, this is an iron law since ancient times, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
Therefore, Dolgon chose to establish a "strong enemy" for Fulin while being "loyal" to Fulin, Shen Zhiyuan.
After a period of investigation, Dolgon felt that Shen Zhiyuan was a "trustable" person, at least a righteous person.
It is very important to choose a person who can be trusted, mainly character.
Shen Zhiyuan emphasizes righteousness and ignores the camp, and the important thing is that he is talented and can lead troops.
This was the best option for Dolgon.
However, Shen Zhiyuan has a flaw that gives Dolgon the most headaches, that is, the relationship between Shen Zhiyuan and Wu Zheng.
It is often difficult for people who value righteousness to choose between old friends and new masters.
But it is also the place where Dolgon appreciates Shen Zhiyuan, and it is indeed difficult.
If Dolgon has enough time, then he will focus on overcoming Shen Zhiyuan's psychological disorder, that is, to change Shen Zhiyuan, it doesn't take too long, three or five years is enough.
But Dolgon didn't have time, so he could only change direction and look to the south - Wu Zheng.
As long as Wu Zheng is dead, no, there is no need to die, as long as Wu Zheng's power collapses, then with the desire in Shen Zhiyuan's heart to lead the army to gallop on the battlefield, his only choice is to belong to Dolgon.
In addition, Dolgon has another reliance, that is, Dongguo, if Dongor has Shen Zhiyuan's flesh and blood, it is insurance.
But Dolgon knew that with his body and the overstretched military and financial resources of the imperial court at this time, it was impossible to defeat and level Jiangnan in a short time.
Therefore, while suppressing Shen Zhiyuan, Dolgon made a move - to disturb Jiangnan and cause internal disputes in the Yixing Dynasty!
Whether the Yixing Dynasty won, or the Yongli Dynasty won, or the Wu Zheng forces won, the final result should be a defeat and a benefit.
Dolgon laid down his blood, and at the same time used a large number of shadows buried in the Yixing Dynasty and the Yongli Dynasty.
When everything was going well, Jiangnan Wu Zheng suddenly and inexplicably made a move against the eleven mansion clans, disrupting Dolgon's layout.
This made Dorgon very depressed, could it be that this kid really had divine help?
"How's it going?" These were the words that Dorgon asked about Ganglin.
Gang Lin replied: "Back to the prince, according to the latest information from Hangzhou Mansion, the secret son buried next to Mo Zhinian has been exposed, but judging from the situation, he has not spit out the real situation...... In addition, according to the information from Tianfu, Wu Zheng suddenly made a move against the clan, which aroused the anger of the monarchs and ministers of the Yixing Dynasty. ”
Dolgon gasped and asked, "So, the Yixing Dynasty is about to start infighting?" ”
Gang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps...... Not as much as people want. ”
"Why?"
"The army of the Yixing Dynasty did move southward, but after arriving at Changzhou Mansion, it was likely that it was only a gesture to Wu Zheng, rather than really wanting to fight with Wu...... In my opinion, the rumors that the current empress of the Yixing Dynasty is devoted to Wu Zheng should be true, and this infighting ...... I'm afraid that the thunder will be heavy and the rain will be small, and it will not be done in the end. ”
Qi Chongge on the side arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, no matter whether there will be infighting in the Yixing Dynasty, but they will definitely drill the game we have laid out." The Zhengshuo dispute between Yongli and Yixing has been going on for a long time, but the Longwu Dynasty fell, and our dynasty put too much pressure on both of them, which made them flawless and peaceful. Now that our dynasty and the Yixing Dynasty have ceased war, the Yixing Dynasty has enough energy to find trouble with the Yongli Dynasty, and the Yongli Dynasty has also obtained an excuse to slander the Yixing Dynasty and accuse the Yixing Dynasty of making peace with our dynasty. In this way, there will definitely be a dirty fight between the two sides, what we have to do is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and add fuel to the fire! Therefore, instead of triggering the internal fighting of the Yixing Dynasty, so that the Yixing Dynasty could not fight with the Yongli Dynasty in the south, it is better to give up the disturbance of the Yixing Dynasty, so that they can deal with the Yongli Dynasty wholeheartedly. ”
Seeing Qi Chongge speak, Gang Lin lowered his head and took a step back, not that he respected Qi Chongge, but that Gang Lin knew very well in his heart that Qi Chongge's suggestion would definitely be rejected by Dolgon.
Comparatively speaking, Ganglin knew Dolgon better than Qi Chongge.
Yes, for the imperial court, the benefits obtained from the outbreak of the battle between the Yixing Dynasty and the Yongli Dynasty are far greater than the internal strife of the Yixing Dynasty, but the problem is that what Dolgon needs most is the internal strife of the Yixing Dynasty, because only in this way can he pinch Shen Zhiyuan in the palm of his hand and be driven by him.
