Although Duoduo and Hauge are trying their best to fool Dolgon, the princes, and Baylor, Dolgon still knows the general truth for the first time, but the problem is that until now, he still doesn't know how many soldiers and horses the Great Qing Kingdom has lost in Jiangnan this time, and even Duoduo and Hauge don't know how big the specific losses are.

But it was precisely because he couldn't figure out how many soldiers and horses the Qing Kingdom had lost in Jiangnan that Dolgon knew the extent of the problem, and the failure of this southern expedition could be said to shake the country's foundation.

Even if you don't count the new annexed army in Jiangnan, the Great Qing State also lost at least 100,000 people in Jiangnan, at least half of which belonged to the real field elite, if the new annexed army is counted, the loss of the Great Qing State in Jiangnan is not 300,000 but also 200,000, such a big loss is already very polite with the evaluation of "shaking the national capital".

If it weren't for Jin Shenghuan in Nanchang anyway, Dolgon would have even considered whether to take a handful of money and retreat outside the pass.

Although the Yue Ming Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty are now in a confrontation situation, and a civil war is close at hand, Dolgon still lost confidence in the long-term hold of the British king Azig in Huguang, and Azig also offered to retreat north in time, and when the time comes, he will use the Ming to deal with the Ming and let the thieves deal with the thieves.

Although it is said that the Eight Banners cannot show their riding and archery skills in Jiangnan, Dolgon knows very well that this is purely an excuse, and the fact is that Duoduo, Hauge and Azig have all become defeated generals of the Yue Ming army.

Since the elite of the Qing army is not Liu Yongxi's opponent, Jin Shenghuan and He Tengjiao under the command of Tang Wang are not Liu Yongxi's opponents, and Jin Shenghuan will definitely not be able to hold out for too long in Jiangxi.

After the Yue Ming army captured Jiangxi, Azig in Wuchang must have borne the brunt of the attack by the Yue Ming army and the thieves, and in the past, Duoduo, Hauge, and Azig were not the opponents of the Jinhua thieves, and now how could Azig cope with it alone.

Thinking of the loss of countless elite cattle and battalion leaders in the south of the Yangtze River, Dolgon's heart was like a knife, and now the most important thing is that the army of Azig can not have any accidents, if Azig is as close to the end of the whole army as Duoduo and Hauge, Dorgon feels that there is no need to fight anymore, it is better to just grab a handful and retreat outside the pass.

Although the princes and Baylor present knew that if Azig retreated north, this southern expedition would be tantamount to abandoning all previous achievements and even losing countless elites, but no one dared to stand up against Dolgon's suggestion.

Dorgon could see the mystery, and the princes and Baylor could also see that if the Azig army faced the same end as Dordor and Hauge, then the Qing army didn't have to think about the confrontation between the north and the south at all.

Therefore, some people immediately agreed: "I have heard the Han people say that the successive dynasties have been a situation in which the north and the south stand side by side, and the north dominates the world.

This was originally a condition for the Hongguang Northern Envoy to strive for with all his might, but whether it was Dolgon, the princes, and Baylor, they all felt that the Southern Envoy was insincere, but now it was the Great Qing State that made such a request.

Dolgon was very much in favor of such a suggestion: "Yes, we can form a brotherly country with the Qinling and Huai rivers as mountains, as long as the Southern Dynasty is willing to give a full year of coins, we can live in peace with the Southern Dynasty, so that the Yue Ming Dynasty has enough time to deal with the Tang Dynasty and other remnant Ming forces, after all, there are many precedents in all dynasties." ”

Of course, everyone knows that negotiating peace and forming an alliance are all delaying tactics, as long as the Qing Dynasty consolidates the existing fruits of victory and reorganizes its troops, it will definitely start the next round of southern expeditions, and the Vietnamese Ming army will also launch the northern expedition as long as it unifies the south, but since both sides need time now, then an alliance is a pleasant choice.

But the matter of negotiating peace soon ran into problems: "Then how should we negotiate an alliance with the Yue Ming Dynasty?" ”

Dolgon knew how to solve the problem: "I heard that Prince Yu and Prince Su had already talked to Yue Mingguo about peace when they were in Jiangnan, and the channel for peace negotiation is definitely not a problem, the key is to hurry up, if Jin Shenghuan falls, the situation will definitely be different!"

Now Dolgon, these princes and Baylors of the Great Qing Kingdom are pinning all their hopes on Jin Shenghuan.

And now Jin Shenghuan is so angry that he wants to scold: "It's all your idea, it will take at least three or five months for the Yue people to capture Nanjing, but the result is good, we have only been in Nanchang for two days anyway, and the Yue Ming army has already taken Nanjing!"

Now Jin Shenghuan can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, if he knew that Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming army would take Nanjing City so quickly, then he would definitely choose to join the Yue Ming Dynasty instead of the Longwu Dynasty, but no one expected that the two princes Duoduo and Haoge would be so vulnerable, and they would lose the entire Jiangning Mansion to the Yue Ming army in one day.

It is said that Liu Yongxi has sent Anhui Governor Xing Shengping, Jiangxi Governor Wang Sun Fan and Governor Huichi Ningtai Military Affairs Department Shangshu Jin Sheng to attack Jiangxi at the same time, the first to get off the horse is to take Jiujiang, and now the east of Poyang Mansion has been owned by the Yue Ming Army, plus the Guangxin Mansion and Raozhou Mansion controlled by the Yue Ming Army, the situation is extremely unfavorable for Jin Shenghuan.

But Huang Renlong, the strategist who loved Jin Shenghuan the most, said confidently: "The Great Qing Kingdom used the power of the general to pacify most of Jiangxi, but what position did the general get?" ”

This is a big hatred of Jin Shenghuan, and he said indignantly: "I was only given the position of a commander, not only did I appoint another governor above this general, but I was also not allowed to be a marquis!"

The situation of the Great Qing Kingdom in Jiangxi was almost brought down by Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, but Jin Shenghuan still only had a position of admiral to be dispatched by the governor, and he did not have a title, not to mention Wang Deren, whose status was under Jin Shenghuan, which was also the reason why they got into trouble anyway.

At that time, they could choose to throw themselves into the Yue Ming Dynasty or the Longwu Dynasty, and Huang Renlong was the key person in the decision-making, and now he still insists on his own opinion: "But the Qing State has also sealed a lot of princes Baylor, and the Yue Ming Dynasty is more regarded as a treasure, only Liu Yongxi has to be crowned the king of Yue, Liu Kongzhao has to be named the Duke of Chengguo, in addition to this, only Xing Shengping has been awarded the title of Tianmenbo, Zhou Zhisheng has been awarded the title of Beigubo and a few other people, can the general now join the Yue people to be crowned marquis?" ”

Jin Shenghuan immediately shook his head, he felt that although he had a heavy army, Liu Kongzhao was Liu Yongxi's biological father, and he had already been named the Marquis of Sincerity in the Hongguang Dynasty, and now he was just a Chengguo Gong, and Xing Shengping and Zhou Zhisheng were all Liu Yongxi's family members, and he only had to be crowned an earl, how could he be a marquis.

Huang Renlong even pointed out a most typical example: "Wang Sun Fan was ordered by the Yue people to patrol Jiangxi, and he was not allowed to be a marquis, let alone a general!"

Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I fight for the governor of Jiangxi, I will definitely not be able to compete with Wang Sun Fan!"

Huang Renlong couldn't help but say confidently: "This is the reason why I let the general welcome the Tang King's royal drive, the Tang King has promised to appoint the general as the governor of Changguo Gong and the military affairs of the five provinces, and there is even more hope of being crowned king!"

In fact, when Huang Renlong negotiated with the Tang Dynasty, he hoped to introduce the example of Liu Yongxi, the king of Yue, to become the king and give him the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but although the small court of the Tang Dynasty did not expect Jin Shenghuan to welcome him, he was careful about these titles, and only gave the name of the governor of Changguo and the military affairs of the five provinces.

But Jin Shenghuan was already satisfied with such a name, and he told Huang Renlong: "Since the holy car will go to Nanchang Mansion soon, then we must pay attention to the righteousness of the name, and ask Your Majesty and all the ministers around him, can I be crowned king with my merits?" If you can't seal the one-word king, at least you must seal the two-word king! Liu Yongxi can be the king of Yue and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in the Yue Ming Dynasty, but his position is similar to mine, and he can't give the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, so it's no problem to give a two-character king!"

Jin Shenghuan also wanted to discuss with these strategists and conspirators around him whether to turn to the Yue Ming Dynasty, but now as soon as he said that he could have the opportunity to be crowned king, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he was bent on changing a higher and better position with Emperor Longwu.

And Huang Renlong also felt that everything was under control: "Please rest assured, Chang Guogong, I will go and explain things clearly to the imperial court, so that the imperial court must give the general the title of king!"

Jin Shenghuan and Huang Renlong did not know that their request would trigger a new round of political turmoil in the Longwu Dynasty.

For Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming Dynasty, although there are countless complex rituals, ceremonies and processes to go after entering Nanjing, and many times it takes three pushes and three concessions, and even three pushes and three concessions cannot solve the problem, but this also means that the Yue Ming Dynasty is no longer a local secession regime, but the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Although this "Ming orthodoxy" is greatly discounted in any aspect, even the most conservative righteous gentlemen have to admit the fact that the Yue Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and begin to praise the merits of the Yue Ming Dynasty's Zhongxing cause.

After all, compared with the Great Qing Dynasty that wanted to "keep your head without hair, and keep your hair without your head", the Yue Ming Dynasty immediately became very cute, and Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi were not Wanli and Chongzhen emperors who had no way to form associations and discuss Qing discussions.

They are now spending all their energy on scolding Emperor Hongguang, Emperor Shunzhi, Prince Yu Duoduo, and the self-proclaimed Longwu Tang King, but they are not aware of the existence and design of the top level of the imperial court that are completely inconsistent with etiquette and lawlessness and have no precedent, even if Liu Yongxi has eaten and slept at the same table with Liu Ru not long after entering the city, but everyone is very smart to ignore it, at most it is just to spread some gossip news.
