Dolgon didn't have a good way to deal with this situation, after all, the two southern expeditions were his decisions, and it was already benevolent and righteous for everyone to allow him to continue to work in the position of regent.

Now in this situation, Dolgon can only try his best to coax everyone to be comfortable, but this is also the normal tribal politics of the Jurchens, although Nurhachi, Huang Taiji and Dolgon spent decades to establish a dictatorship, but several defeats have brought the Qing State back to the era of tribal politics.

Don't look at Hauge, Duoduo, and Daishan are all defeated generals who led their troops to flee first, but because they retreated from Xuzhou, the troops were intact, so they were also very active at the venue, and Duoduo even said that this negotiation with Ming was his matchmaker, and the war ahead also eased because of this peace negotiation.

This made Dolgon more and more uncomfortable the more he listened, but now even a Ala-Ezhen dared to yell at Dolgon, not to mention that Dordor, Haug and Daishan had formed a political alliance, so Dolgon could only fool the past first.

This was the weakest time for the Qing Dynasty, and even a month or two of reprieve was precious, and Dorgon felt that he could use this truce to mobilize to the fullest.

This kind of noise, brawl and knife slashing lasted for several days, although many important decisions were made, but there were more and more problems that needed to be solved, in the past, the Gongzhong Niu Lu was the real Gong Zhong Niu Lu, and it was also the national wealth of the Qing Dynasty, and now everyone regarded the Gong Zhong Niu Lu under their command as their own internal Niu Lu, and no one was allowed to touch it, not even the regent Dorgon.

The territory, soldiers, horses, and other resources they controlled were also private property, and the Qing Dynasty was barely a functioning state system during the lifetimes of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and now it is back to the old era of tribal politics.

When everyone thought that they would continue to quarrel, an exciting news finally came: "Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo have launched a rebellion in Caozhou!" ”

In fact, this is not an exciting news, but finally let the continuous noise come to an end, many Manchurian relatives and nobles feel that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, the two generals, have eaten the leopard's guts: "It's just bold, we spared them from dying is already a great kindness, and they dare to do it against us, let them know what the end is when they do it against the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Yes, the regents let them follow the army to Xuzhou, but they have been making excuses to prevaricate and sit back and watch the failure of the Qing army's southern expedition!"

"If Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing are not solved, I am afraid that there will be any orders from the imperial court in the future, and these Han generals will do everything they can to kill Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing!"

"Yes, not only will they not follow the army, but they will also dare to start a rebellion, so let them die without a place to be buried."

If before Liu Yongxi proposed the negotiation conditions of "taking the Yellow River as the boundary", the Manchurian nobles present would naturally be frightened when they heard such news, but since Liu Yongxi was concentrating on integrating the south, they naturally became angry.

Although Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo were both the four towns of Jiangbei in the Hongguang Dynasty, their troops have long since disintegrated, and now Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo together are thousands of remnants of the defeated generals There is no big problem to deal with, and more importantly, after the two southern expeditions, the Great Qing Kingdom needs a powerful object, and Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo seem to be the best choice.

Dolgon did not hesitate to order: "Tell the soldiers below that after breaking through Caozhou, let them be happy, they can do whatever they want, and they will have the final say when to seal the sword!" ”

And the Manchurian nobles also said without hesitation: "Kill Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, and let everyone in the world know what the end of challenging our Great Qing Kingdom is!" ”

Can't deal with Jinhua thieves and Liu Yongxi, can't they deal with shrimp soldiers and crab generals like Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, all the Manchurian nobles want to regain their confidence from Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo.

And Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are also full of confidence: "With Ning Nanhou and us in trouble, we can naturally rest easy, even if it is 100,000 prisoners!" ”

If Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo had always been on the edge of their seats before, but now that Zuo Mengeng and the thirty battalions of horse infantry under his command arrived, they became more confident, and felt that both Dolgon and Azig could easily solve it.

Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Caozhou is Liu Zeqing's hometown, he has been operating here for many years, as long as he ascends to the heights, he can mobilize tens of thousands of people, and Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo have already contacted the Yuyuan Army in advance, and as long as there is an incident, even if there are no 100,000 people, 350,000 people can be mobilized.

Moreover, Dolgon's southern expedition was to let Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo gather the whole army to go south, but Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo felt that Duoduo and Haoge had hundreds of thousands of Qing elites and the whole army was still gone, and now the strength of the Yue Ming army was far better than last year, so it was naturally an inevitable failure, and the result was just as Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo expected, Dolgon's southern expedition was a loss of troops under the city of Xuzhou.

It's just that in this way, the big men of the Great Qing State were very dissatisfied with Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, although the defeat of Xuzhou was entirely the responsibility of Dolgon, but many people thought that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's refusal to follow the army was the biggest reason for the defeat of the Great Qing State.

Now Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo feel that they are wronged more than anyone else, and Dolgon has returned from a great defeat in the southern expedition with the strength of the whole country, and there are thousands of more Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, what waves can be made, but this also makes Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo make up their minds to start an incident.

After all, in the past, the Great Qing Kingdom was victorious in a hundred battles, and Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo did not dare to compete with it at all, but since the rise of the Yue Ming Army, the Great Qing Army has gone downhill and has been defeated repeatedly, and even Dolgon's personal expedition has not been able to save the situation.

After all, Zuo Mengeng not only brought five or six thousand veteran backbones, but also brought a message from Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi and Yi'an to Empress Zhang, Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang, both said that as long as Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing were willing to draw a clear line with the Qing Dynasty, the Chengtian Dynasty would be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

In the past, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo were most worried about the problem that they had old grievances with Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang, and they were worried that they would not get the support of the Yue Ming Dynasty after the incident, but now they are naturally more confident and decided to start an incident immediately, and Zuo Mengeng also said very confidently: "Please rest assured that the Marquis of Dongping and Guangchangbo have volunteered to respond to our army at any time!" ”

Although the Chengtian Dynasty did not prepare for a full-scale Northern Expedition, this was exactly the situation that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo wanted most: "It's Wang Zhiren, the governor of Huai'an, right?" He was willing to send troops to deal with our army, and this incident was more than half successful! ”

In fact, what Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are most worried about is the comprehensive northern expedition of the Chengtian Dynasty, when the time comes, their uprising will be a small wave in the tide of the northern waves, and now they will have a good position in the Chengtian Dynasty regardless of success or failure, and Zuo Mengeng did not understand Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's thoughts: "With the support of Marquis Wuning, we can take Yanzhou Mansion in the shortest possible time!" ”

It's just that Liu Zeqing laughed: "Not only do we have to take Yanzhou Mansion, but we also have to take down Dongchang Mansion, Henan Guide Mansion, and Beizhili Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

Liu Zeqing knows very well whether this uprising can succeed or not, first of all, whether it can make a big fuss and whether it can sweep the three provinces in the shortest possible time.

In fact, the uprising of Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Mengeng soon triggered a chain reaction, and the northland was already full of gunsmoke, but it caused a political storm in the south.

Many people believe that the Chengtian Dynasty has missed the God-given opportunity of the Northern Expedition, and if the Chengtian Dynasty can take advantage of the current excellent opportunity of the Northern Rebellion to Attack from the Jianghuai and Jingxiang Routes, it may be able to recover the Beijing Division in one fell swoop, and now the Chengtian Dynasty has missed a great opportunity to integrate most of its energy in the south.

However, more people think that there is no problem with the strategy of the Chengtian Dynasty to go south and rear, after all, Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Guangdong, and Yang Zhan, who passed through Sichuan, have encountered a lot of trouble, and after the Tang King entered Guangxi, he received the full support of the King of Jingjiang and some Guangxi officials, I am afraid that the Chengtian Dynasty will encounter many troubles in unifying the south.

In this situation, the hasty Northern Expedition will definitely have a fire in the backyard, and the northern righteous division led by Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Mengeng to contain the Qing army is naturally the best news, after all, many people still have lingering feelings about the second southern expedition just launched by Dolgon.

Although the Yue Ming army won the final victory, in the end, if it was not for Dolgon's fatal error in judgment that the Ming army would rush from Fengyang Mansion to help, and Empress Changping personally led reinforcements along the canal to the north, perhaps the Qing army could finally kill all the way through Jianghuai.

Now that there are northern righteous teachers to contain the Qing army, everyone can naturally continue to live their comfortable life without worrying, and everyone has also heard the conditions proposed by Emperor Chengtian to the Qing mission: "Take the Yellow River as the boundary!" ”

This is the condition that the Hongguang court wants to fight for the most, and this condition has also been accepted by many officials, gentry and businessmen, everyone feels that with the current situation it is impossible to take the Jianghuai and Qinling Mountains as the boundary, and the Yellow River as the boundary can not only get most of Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi from the hands of the Qing State without fighting, but also make the continuous war finally come to an end, even if the Qing State does not accept the Yellow River as the boundary and the Ming Dynasty has no loss.

And these people all hope that this kind of peace can last, the protracted war in the past year or two has made these nobles feel that they can't be so turbulent and let themselves suffer huge losses, so they specially invited Qian Qianyi, president of the "Qing Guozhi", to write to the imperial court: "Please ask the imperial court to strive to take the Yellow River as the boundary while integrating the southern provinces, and fight for every inch of land, and not let the Qing country take advantage of it!" ”
