On the map, two huge color blocks silently told Dolgon about the situation of the Nanyue army and the Qing army.

On the flanks of the flag area representing the Qing army and the flag of the Nanyue Army, the banner representing Li Zicheng's Dashun army was marked in the Huguang area.

"Master?" Seeing Dolgon staring at the banner of the Qing army and the banner of the Dashun army in Huguang and northern Jiangxi on the map for a long time, Fan Wencheng knew that at this time, Dolgon's thoughts were focused on how to eliminate Li Zicheng's troops and horses on the flank.

"Mr. Fan, you just said that Scholar Hong said in the newspaper that the current summer heat in Jiangnan is hot, and the soldiers are unable to endure the heat, so the fifteenth brother ordered all troops and horses to temporarily garrison and rest in place, yes or no?"

"Exactly. General Yang Wei is also worried about the safety of these hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he is not careful, he will have to repeat the mistakes of going down to the south of the Yangtze River again. Fan Wencheng vaguely felt something, and he deliberately accentuated the tone and tone of the words hundreds of thousands of troops.

At this time, the Qing court still had the legacy of being in Liaodong, and it had just entered the customs, and various rules and systems had not yet had time to be established and perfected. The guards between the former and the harem were not as tight as those of the Ming court. Fan Wencheng is also a powerful person by Dolgon's side, so he naturally knows more about the affairs of the first person in the Qing Dynasty, even if it is a private matter between the backhouse and the curtains, Dolgon does not shy away from him. Of course, the two of them still know each other about the matter with Bumu Butai, one is that I know, but I don't say it; The other is that I know you know, but I don't say it.

Fan Wencheng knew that recently, several side fortunes in Dolgon's Mansion had good news. The woman from the Joseon royal family, and the niece and daughter of Korqin Oh Keshan, are said to be happy in the house. "If the master of the regent has an heir, there will inevitably be changes in the court."

Sure enough, Fan Wencheng's words touched the most secret position in Dolgon's heart.

"Mr. Fan, you check General Yangwei's previous reports, how many soldiers and horses his subordinates have at the moment."

"Master, Prince Yu since the return of the German Mansion to the south, the Ming army Jiangbei four towns of the soldiers and horses all under the command of Prince Yu, recently, there is a former Ming Ping thief general Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng surrendered. The soldiers and horses of Jiangnan and Jiangbei are added together, and there should be no less than a million people. ”

Despite the mental preparation, Dorgon was taken aback by the number. Millions? Father Khan and Huang Taiji, plus themselves, have been operating for decades for two generations, and when they entered the customs, they were only more than 100,000 horses. Duoduo only traveled thousands of miles south and leaped to Jiangnan, and then expanded to a million people, the expansion rate of this strength is simply terrifying!

At this moment, Dolgon's mind was overturned, and many things were thought of in a flash. When he was a child, his father Khan liked Duoduo the most, and said more than once that he wanted to pass on the throne to Duoduo. The population of Niu Lu under Duoduo's name is also the largest among their three brothers, so that no matter which banner Duoduo goes to, which banner has the largest population of soldiers and horses, and the most powerful! Over the years, Duoduo's military exploits have also been placed there, and his prestige and military exploits have been placed there. If he is allowed to hold a terrifying amount of strength in his hands, then what if someone wants to drape the yellow robe on him? What if someone turns out the words of his father Khan to make a fig leaf and support him to ascend the throne as emperor?

In the face of the huge temptation of power, the brothers who supported them through the most difficult years back then will also have two hearts.

"Mr. Fan, how many soldiers and horses are there now entrenched in Huguang Li Chuangyu? How many soldiers and horses did Prince Azig have? ”

"Li Chuang's department, according to reports from various places, should be no less than 400,000 horses. And the British prince Azig's subordinates only had 200,000 soldiers and horses. This is one of the reasons why Prince Ying is not moving fast enough. The lack of troops can only be a hard gnaw of one war after another. Fan Wencheng echoed Dolgon very well, he already had a general understanding of Dorgon's thoughts.

"Mr. Fan, I want to do it. Now that Jiangnan has been roughly decided, and the heat is unbearable, he ordered General Yangwei, Prince Yu Duoduo, Belle Bolo, Baylor Dugu Hanjiang and others to lead the soldiers of the headquarters to return north. Prince Yu received Jiangnan, captured Hongguang, King Zhilu, King Zhou and other former Ming clans, and added the title to Prince Yu of Heshuode. When I arrived in Beijing, I had to go ten miles out of the city to meet the heroes. The subordinates ordered Dorobelle Lekedehun to be the general of Pingnan, and led Gushan Ezhen Yechen and others to Jiangnan Daiduoduo. The original subordinate to the Han army under the command of General Yangwei was transferred to Huguang and sent 300,000 people to Azig, the prince of Ying. The rest are on standby. ”

Dolgon's hand can be said to be extremely spicy. The transfer of Duoduo back from Jiangnan happened to hit the bitterness of Duoduo and others' claim that the northern soldiers could not endure the heat in the south, and at the same time, separated Duoduo from the soldiers and horses he had collected since he went south, and prevented the possible addition of yellow robes. At the same time, the meritorious heroes are commended in the form of titles.

And making Dorobelle Lekdehun the general of Pingnan and taking over the authority and troops of Duoduo is another means. Luckedhun was the son of Sakha, the younger brother of Adaali, and a die-hard supporter of Dorgon in the Two Red Banners of Manchuria. Dolgon wants to convey such a message to the Eight Banners through this means, no matter who you are, as long as you follow me, Dolgon will definitely have a rich reward. This was of great significance to him in further grasping the hearts and minds of the people of the Two Red Banners in Manchuria, not to mention that Luckdhun's military talent was also obvious to all within the Eight Banners.

The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army who were transferred to Huguang to accept Azig's controlled command were to disrupt the original command system and network of personal connections. Further weakening of their relationship with Dord. At the same time, strengthen the strength of Azig's subordinates, so that he has an advantage in troops when facing Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses on the Huguang battlefield.

To be able to gain an advantage in Huguang in the short term is equivalent to cutting off one of Li Shouhan's arms from the flank. No matter how the situation develops in the future, the Qing army will be beneficial and harmless.

Fan Wencheng's pen work is very good, Dolgon narrated that he has already drawn up a draft, recited it at the moment, and asked Dolgon to confirm it, and after ordering the official transcription of the written post, it will be printed and distributed, and the relevant people will be notified to get ready.

Rarely, everyone under the banner of Red Banner Manchuria heard that Dorobelle under his banner had served as such an important envoy, and they wanted to cheer and celebrate. Then all kinds of digging doors to ask for favors, and they want to follow Lord Belle south to the south of the Yangtze River. It's all gossip, let's not press it.

After settling Duoduo, Fan Wencheng continued to recite Hong Chengchou's recital. It was nothing more than some less important and urgent military information, but the last few words lifted Dorgon's spirits.

"Bolobel has a document from Hangzhou, a person named Lin Kun from the Southern Merchants, holding my Daqing woven golden dragon silk in his hand, and a sealed letter with fire paint, asking to go to Nanjing to meet the slaves. claimed that there was a major military matter to discuss with the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and the minions asked their masters to show them. ”

When Hangzhou City was occupied by the Qing army, when Lin Kun appeared in front of Bolo with the golden dragon silk that Huang Taiji gave to Li Peiting, he was immediately startled by Bolo. If it weren't for the fact that he had such a powerful token in his hand, just a letter sealed with fire paint, I was afraid that any Qing army officer would treat him as a madman or a liar, and then cut him with a knife. However, there is a weaving golden dragon, whether it is the soldiers of the Eight Banners or the surrendered Ming army, they dare not make a mistake easily, they can only be said to be polite and polite, and even serve this Lin Kunlin treasurer like an ancestor. What's more, in the hands of this shopkeeper Lin, in addition to this golden dragon silk, there are also a large number of tea, spices and other valuable goods, which cannot be easily neglected. (Tea?) Could it be that the Qing army, which did not have much food in its hands, should be better digested? Spices? Let the Qing army's food cooking level go to a higher level? ）

"Good! Sure enough, it's a good thing! Dolgon's excitement almost danced. This Lin Kun is undoubtedly the messenger sent by Li Peiting. Or, simply, the envoys sent by the Nanyue Army through Li Peiting's channels were for the purpose of negotiating with the Qing Army! If not, then all of Lin Kun's performances are unreasonable.

"Since there is the golden dragon silk given by the first emperor, it must be a person who has a lot of connections with my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Eight hundred miles rushed to Jiangnan and told Scholar Hong that this person must be treated with courtesy, and he must not lose his courtesy. In addition, since he claims to be a merchant, he will buy the goods in his hands, and then ask him, if there are any other goods sold to me in the Qing Dynasty, just bring them one by one, and the Qing Dynasty and I will not treat him badly. ”

"Ask Fellow Hon, a good student, to get in touch with him and see what he's like."

"Master, you say, is this Lin Kun the secret envoy sent from the south to negotiate peace with me?" Fan Wencheng also understood a little. Anyone who does this kind of secret work, and who can't see the light, will not reveal his identity with great fanfare as soon as he comes up. How many normal regimes and groups would send envoys north to negotiate peace, or even give gold, silver, silk, grain, and rice, like the Nanjing Imperial Court?

However, it was precisely because of Lin Kun's flickering words that Dolgon was able to determine that this person must have been sent by Li Shouhan to negotiate peace, or at least to find out his own attitude. I was really dozing off, and someone brought me a pillow! What Dolgon needs now is time, and try to avoid a full-scale war with the Nanyue army. So that he has time and space to digest the fruits of victory, eliminate internal dangerous factors, and then eliminate Li Zicheng's Dashun military headquarters in Huguang for Li Shouhan to contain the Qing army in the middle road. He didn't mind that Li Shouhan could negotiate peace with him and succeed and reach a situation that was satisfactory to both parties. However, even if the peace negotiation fails, he can use it to adjust the deployment of troops during this time, solve Li Zicheng's troops, at least, and let the Qing army gain an advantageous position on the Huguang battlefield. In turn, the Qing army may determine its favorable situation on the battlefield with the Nanyue army in the future.

"Master, if this person is really the person sent by Liang Guogong to negotiate peace, what kind of attitude should I take in the Qing Dynasty?" Fan Wencheng's thinking was very fast, and he had immediately adjusted to the technical level. What kind of conditions can we use to recruit this powerful General Li? Fan Wencheng has also heard the phrase "Kyushu is in turmoil, Li Jizhu". really responded to this proverb, Li Shouhan is a serious man surnamed Li. Anyone can say that the destiny is on their side, and at the critical moment, they still have to speak with strength. Fan Wencheng was not sure that the current strength of the Qing army would definitely be able to win in the process of fighting for the world with Li Shouhan.

In the final analysis, it is to give Li Shouhan a price!

This question immediately gave Dolgon a headache. When he surrendered Wu Sangui, he offered a large price to the king of Pingxi, and used the name of a prince to recruit tens of thousands of Liaodong troops of Wu Sangui in exchange for the entry channel of Shanhaiguan. However, the disparity between the identities of Wu Sangui and Li Shouhan is huge, and the judgment is like a cloud, how can they use the price code of Wu Sangui to appease Li Shouhan?

Wu Sangui was only a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and he only had tens of thousands of horses in his hands. Li Shouhan is Emperor Chongzhen's own Ning Yuanbo, not only has a title, but also is a local strength of his own mansion and teeth, according to the Jin merchants who have been to Nanzhong people come back to envy said, the place is thousands of miles, grain and rice three times a year. With a population of no less than tens of millions, Ding Zhuang practiced the Qin system and received military training on time. Millions of people can be gathered in an instant. With such a big difference in the strength of two people, how can they be bought at the same price? I was afraid that the envoy from the Qing court would offer the prince's price, and Li Shouhan's envoy would roll his eyes and ask: "My lord is already the title of Duke of Liang and the general in front of the Hongguang Emperor, how did he get to the place where your army has only one prince?" In that case, what is the use of returning to the Qing Dynasty? ”

Another point, a large part of Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were the Tuntian soldiers on the ground of Denglai that Li Shouhan allocated to him to strengthen his strength. In addition to the Tuntian soldiers, there is also the Guanning Army, and there are many generals who are Li Huamei's godsons, godsons and other roles. Wu Sangui himself is the same as Li Huamei's godson. Although these people are all equipped with the same color of Nanzhong equipment, in front of the Li family's father and son, they still have to be a generation shorter and shorter. When I saw the father and son of the Li family, I had to kneel down and shout something nice. In such a situation, you let Li Shouhan and his godgrandson go to the next level, which is tantamount to slapping Li Shouhan's face in public. If you get along in a different place, it's good to change Dolgon himself and not chop the messenger into meat sauce on the spot.

This price, how to open it, really bothered Dolgon.

In desperation, I could only postpone the discussion for the time being.

That night, however, when Dolgon was in the bedchamber of Bumu Butai and she was a little annoyed to talk about this tricky affair of the day, in order to find a reason to cover up his shame, he smiled slightly after swallowing a mouthful of Bumu Butai that he had cleaned with his mouth.

"What's so hard about that?" With that, Bumu Butai threw a wink at Dolgon, and continued to clean Dolgon's sensitive area with his soft tongue.

"Yu'er, what's the plan, you say!" Dolgon asked Bumu Butai to express his clever opinion, but his hand was very unceremoniously pressed Bumu Butai's head, allowing her to swallow her clone again.

"When Shanxi merchants came to Liaodong to trade in the Horqin grassland, they once told me that the Han people had a few words, saying that they asked for a price and paid back the money on the spot. What else is there to hide, to make inches, and so on. However, in my opinion, these few words can be used to negotiate with the Liang Guogong in the south. ”

After finally taking care of Dolgon's clone, Bumu Butai rolled his eyes and tried to calm his stomach and tell Dolgon about his plans.

"The Qing Dynasty can recognize Liang Guogong's territory in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces, oh, by the way, you can also give him all the partial land in southern Gannan and Huguang. Let him officially rip the earth and seal the king! If he feels that the conditions are not preferential enough, then give him Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan together! We, the Qing Dynasty and him, ruled across the river in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. On the Sichuan side, everyone takes the Qinling Mountains as the boundary, Lingnan as his territory, and Lingbei is my Qing Dynasty. Huguang in the middle reaches is also bounded by the Yangtze River, and the Biyuan, northern and southern Jiangxi provinces south of the river belong to him. We only need the land of Jiangbei! However, the downstream of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the money string and rice bag of the Qing Dynasty, which must be returned to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Bumu Butai's suggestion immediately made Dolgon quite excited, and made him feel empowered.

That's right! has achieved the point of Li Shouhan, and the amount of name and name is secondary. He is the same as his father Khan and Huang Taiji back then, he wants practical benefits, not a name. As long as the land, land, and people can be legally obtained, whatever name is secondary.

"Ganbei can't do it, once Ganbei loses, Nanzhili will not be guaranteed, and it must be in the hands of the Qing Dynasty." He savored Bumu Butai's advice and found some deficiencies in it. This is also the cleverness of Bumu Butai, deliberately exposing a flaw, allowing the man to stand in a higher position and obtain another psychological satisfaction. Moreover, the land ceded by Bumu Butai's plan is actually not under his control, at least, he has not completely controlled it. For example, in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons who are dealing with Yuele, Ao Bai and others, there is also the power of Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo in the Ming Dynasty. And in Huguang and other places, Bumu Butai is even more harboring evil intentions. If this plan can be accepted by Li Shouhan, then he will have to fight with Li Zicheng's Dashun army. And the Qing army, on the side, was full of food and drink, and watched the two surnamed Li fight with chickens and dogs.

"The Qing Dynasty can crown Li Shouhan as king. As for what title to say, whether it is the king of Nan or the king of Yue, or the king of Nanyue, these things are naturally worried about by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. However, what kind of honor guard is reduced to the Son of Heaven, hereditary replacement, listening to the tune or not listening to the announcement, paying tribute once every few years and so on, just go to him. However, "Bumu Butai's face was shrouded in light, which was quite incongruous with her image of a naked knight. "He must agree that the two sides will cease military operations while the peace talks are made, and at the same time, open trade."
