For the Qing Dynasty, May of the second year of Shunzhi was an unprecedented glorious month.

Whether it is the Battle of Sarhu or the Battle of Songjin, or the Battle of Yishi and the Battle of Tongguan, they cannot be compared with the series of victories achieved in this May.

Before this May, the Manchurian nobles felt that although they had entered the customs, they were still ready to withdraw at any time, but after May, these Manchurian nobles already felt that the world could only belong to themselves.

It's been a brilliant month!

The first unlucky was Da Shun Guo and Li Zicheng, after the defeat of Tongguan and Shaanxi and Gansu, the Dashun army that retreated to Jingxiang still had 200,000 people, but this time luck did not attach to Li Zicheng.

Azig's army of 80,000 people followed closely at the first time, and Li Zicheng, who was completely reduced to a rogue and was defeated in every battle, was almost defeated at the touch of a button, and finally the possession of the god of decay was killed by Cheng Jiubo, a mountain man, in Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan, and the banner of Dashun State could not be beaten.

But for the Qing Dynasty, this was only the first good news, and on the following May 13, Zuo Mengeng and Hubei Governor Huang Shu led a total of 10 soldiers and an army of 80,000 people to surrender to Azig in Jiujiang, and the total strength of Agege at that time was only 890,000.

Until now, everyone knew that Ningnan Marquis Zuo Liangyu had been dead for a full month, but his subordinates did not mourn and elected Zuo Mengeng to continue to march eastward, but Zuo Menggeng's army had become a frightened bird under the attack of Huang Degong and the Qing army, and Huang Shu, the Hubei Patrol Imperial Shi who promised himself to be a "righteous gentleman", was completely frightened, and chose to surrender to Azig without hesitation, and even took the initiative to become a new annex to the Qing Dynasty.

According to Duoduo's report to the imperial court, he not only captured Emperor Hongguang, but also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with a total of 23 soldiers, 2 supervisors, 47 deputy generals, 86 guerrillas generals, and 238,300 horse infantry, and these 230,000 troops and Huang Shu now want to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

Several large field groups of the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, except for Liu Zeqing, who fled to the sea, and Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yue, who retreated to Jinhua, now almost all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

However, Liu Zeqing was already discussing specific surrender matters with the Qing Dynasty, and although Liu Yongxi's troops were known as elite soldiers, the actual strength was only 10,000 new troops, and they were not at all the opponents of Boluo's tens of thousands of elites.

In the past two months, the Qing army defeated the 560,000 Ming army and the Dashun army with less than 200,000 troops, destroyed two enemy countries that seemed to be extremely powerful, and also added 200,000 or 300,000 green battalion troops who wanted to make contributions to the new master.

At the time of entering the customs, the maximum mobilization of troops in the entire Great Qing State did not exceed 200,000, and the number of troops invested in a strategic direction was only 120,000 to 150,000, and a year later, counting the newly attached Green Battalion Army, the Great Qing State already had an army of 6 or 700,000.

And now except for Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, who was outside Sichuan, the Great Qing Kingdom can no longer find any opponents worth mentioning, but Zhang Xianzhong is not the opponent of the Great Qing State at all after entering Sichuan.

After entering the customs, the Manchurian nobles were trembling and adjusting their policies at any time, lest they would be driven back to the customs at the slightest mistake, but now the situation has changed decisively, and the Manchurian nobles finally became angry after the collapse of the Great Shun State and the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty at the same time.

For the regent Dorgon, since the Ming Dynasty has fallen, the next step is to completely replace it, so that the world will become a country that loves Xinjueluo for thousands of generations, so he took the fold in his hand and said to Da Beile Daishan: "Da Beile, I think Sun Zhiqi's statement is very reasonable!"

Although Dai Shan used to be the head of the four great Baylors, he couldn't raise his head in the Shunzhi Dynasty, so he knew that the only purpose for Dolgon to come over was to get him to nod and agree: "Sun Zhiqi is shaving his hair here?" ”

Dolgon said very excitedly: "That's right, it's just for the matter of shaving hair, since the world is one, then the subjects should be one and not separate from each other, originally this matter should have been done last year, but at that time, the situation stopped, and today is the time for the court to establish its prestige!"

Last year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty issued a shaving order as soon as they entered the customs, but it was withdrawn in May due to strong opposition from all sides, but for Dorgon, who was bent on conquering China, the shaving order must be carried out, and the concession at that time was only to ease the situation and concentrate on dealing with the two strong enemies of the Ming and Dashun.

And since the world has arrived today, it is naturally urgent to shave his hair and change his clothes in the future, and Dai Shan also understands his intentions, knowing that this regent is not looking for him to consult or listen to advice, but just to let himself come forward to suppress the dissatisfaction within the Eight Banners.

Dai Shan, the brave big Baylor back then, is already old, and it is in the interests of the Aixin Jueluo family to shave his hair and change his crown, so Dai Shan just said: "Shaving hair is a good thing, but it is not easy to do!"

Dolgon, however, laughed: "Shaving your hair is just a trivial matter, what is so difficult to do, and what is more difficult to do than to kill your head?" Sun Zhiqi said it very well, keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head!"

Hearing this, Dai Shan knew that Dolgon had already made up his mind: "The regent means that Jiangnan is initially decided, and hundreds of thousands of attached soldiers are in short supply, so let them do the matter of shaving their hair, and it can also make two or three hundred thousand soldiers completely change their minds and draw a clear line with the Ming Kingdom!"

Although Dai Shan has left the real political core, he is a big Baylor after all, and he knows the situation in Jiangnan well.

Now the newly attached army of two or three hundred thousand is a henchman for the Qing Dynasty, although the imperial court has decided to integrate Zuo Mengeng and others into the Eight Banners and separate from the original troops, but at most it is only composed of dozens of Han army Niu Lu, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops must be useful.

Although Jiangnan is established, the matter of shaving hair will definitely cause riots among the displaced people, and when the time comes, let the Han people deal with the Han people, these new annexes can come in handy, and they can also completely disassociate themselves from the Ming State.

Dolgon laughed more and more proudly when he heard this: "What Big Belle said is that the matter of shaving hair has been done, and we love Xinjueluo is the country of thousands of generations, and I have already thought about it, when the matter of shaving is done, I will send a Han person to Jiangnan to clean up people's hearts!"

Dai Shan couldn't help but blurt out: "Which Han person?" ”
