Chapter 736: Dolgon's Decision

Beijing. The city is still the same city, and the palace is still the same group of palaces. Taimiao, heaven, earth, sun and moon and other sacrificial places and Xiannong altar are still those buildings, but the owner has changed.

The original residents of the inner city were driven out by the Qing army. Not only did the dove occupy the nest that originally belonged to the bird's nest, but also the furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other objects that could not be moved away for a while.

The same is true of the original imperial palace, except that the plaques in front of the doors of each palace have added Manchurian characters in addition to the original Chinese characters.

The Qing Dynasty has replaced the existence of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing.

The regent of the Qing Dynasty, the regent Dorgon, also lived in the Qianqing Palace, which originally belonged to Emperor Chongzhen's daily life and handling government affairs, at this time. Although he also had his own mansion outside the Donghua Gate, he occupied the Qianqing Palace on the grounds that he couldn't go home because of military affairs, and that it was convenient to report to the empress dowager and the emperor of the two palaces. The secret in this is almost an open secret inside the Eight Banners.

"Humph! Hybads of Yehbe! Seed of Abahai! You just say that you want to sleep with Bumu Butai, it's convenient! What are you doing with such a fig leaf?! "It is already a powerful side, and the strength of the soldiers and horses has been divided up by his children and grandchildren, and the empty prince Dai Shan, has scolded more than once after drinking. Of course, it's also when no one is around. After all, Dolgon's power and prestige at the moment far exceed that of Huang Taiji back then. Don't look at these, but also beware of Dolgon's cruel methods, you must know that Haoge, as the eldest son of Huang Taiji, the banner lord of the soldiers and horses who is not bad at the war merits, was executed by Dolgon! Besides, the custom of accepting step-marriages may seem to the Han officials and Han people to be very rebellious and unethical, but in the eyes of the people of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Forty-Nine Banners of Horqin, it is a very normal thing.

Dolgon, who was dealing with government and military affairs in the Qianqing Palace, threw the military newspaper fold in his hand on the table, and let out a long sigh. Although his attainments in Han culture are not as profound as Huang Taiji's, he can still understand the simple excerpts of military newspapers.

"Mr. Fan, a few of their minions in Bolo, leading a group of minions who have newly returned to my Qing Dynasty, have also taken down Hangzhou." He deliberately acted calmly and indifferently, but his heart was burning like fire. First, he had also heard that Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that year, was playing chess with the guests when the news of the Jin army's defeat of the former Qin in the Battle of Weishui arrived. After reading the good news, he put it next to his seat and continued to play chess quietly. The guest couldn't help but ask him what the situation was in front of him, and Xie An replied lightly: "The little one is a big thief." As the actual head of the Qing Dynasty, he must also have a similar bearing in order to be able to control the field. Both, he also knows that in the past dynasties of the Central Plains, they can take the Yangtze River as the boundary and defend half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. The Great Jin Dynasty, which was also established by the Jurchens, although generations of monarchs were dissatisfied with the situation of "thousands of miles of chariots and horses are mixed, and there is no other frontier in the south of the Yangtze River", thinking that "raising millions of troops on the West Lake, and immediately the first peak of Wushan", but only Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, really did it, and he, like himself, used a large number of Han troops to achieve this goal.

Fan Wencheng, who was sitting under the side of Dolgon's huge bookcase, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Master, today you no longer suspect that Prince Yu's master lied about his war exploits?" ”

He could also see that Dolgon was in a good mood today, so he had the courage to joke with Dolgon and make fun of Dolgon from another angle.

A few days ago, Duoduo's excerpt was quickly delivered to Beijing, and Dorgon's first reaction was, "Lao Tzu's younger brother has been in the Central Plains for a few days, how did he learn the trick of the former Ming officials and generals who lied about their military exploits?!" "In any case, the strategy and tactics of taking more than 10,000 elite cavalry as the guide, ignoring the fortress with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, not carrying heavy grain routes, not attacking the prefecture and county towns, and going straight to Nanjing, in Dolgon's view, is impossible to succeed in any case. It's a way to die!

However, Duoduo not only lived well, but also won a great victory for himself, and accepted such and such a town and such a place for the Qing Dynasty, how many soldiers and horses were accommodated, and there were a number of general soldiers and a number of deputy generals under his command, and so on. Isn't this a lie about the exploits of the war?!

Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon's color was unhappy, so he stopped reciting the military intelligence excerpt, "Master, there will be no problem with this military report. Prince Yu's master's bravery and good fighting are known to the world. What's more, with the countersignature of Scholar Hong, I don't think there will be any problem. If you still have any doubts, you may wish to announce the messenger, and the master will ask him carefully about some information. At that time, the minions will knock on the side while observing the words and colors, if there is really any hidden secret, it will be difficult to escape the master's insight. ”

A few words said that Dorgon was very comfortable, and also found a good solution for him. Now, Dolgon is really a little inseparable from Fan Wencheng's right-hand man. "One Chen Banda and the other Fan Wencheng, although these two people can't go to the battlefield, they are the most advantageous weapons in my hands and the most powerful helpers." Today's Chen Banda, although he does some trivial affairs, he can't go to the temple, such as turning the land occupied by the Eight Banners into tuntian, resuming production in the first battle bureau gunpowder bureau gun factories and other places in the capital, and so on. However, it was clear to the whole court that the war ahead could not be separated from the support of grain, grass, ordnance and armor for a moment. This Chen Banda is undoubtedly Xiao He who handles these most fatal tasks for the Lord Regent's master.

Sure enough, when he asked the envoy sent by General Yangwei to report the victory, Dolgon suddenly realized that he had greatly praised his younger brother's vision and methods. Even if Duoduo was approved, Dugu Hanjiang was officially canonized as the title of Baylor, and dozens of generals and hundreds of lieutenant generals who surrendered were retained in their original positions. "As long as they contribute to the war of the Qing Dynasty, I will not be stingy!" However, the families of these people must be sent to Beijing to settle down.

Thinking of the scene of that day, Dolgon couldn't help but laugh, and laughed happily with Fan Wencheng Junchen.

"Master, today, I don't know what new good news Prince Yu has for his master?" Seeing that Dorgon was happy, Fan Wencheng struck while the iron was hot, and he was eager to know what good news lay ahead.

"Hangzhou, Bolo and Dugu Hanjiang have been taken down by me! Zhu Changshu, the king of the puppet Ming Dynasty, went out of the city and surrendered. Only Fang Guoan led the remnants to cross the Qiantang River and join the naval division of Zheng Zhilong's Nanyue Army. ”

Dolgon found Duoduo's leadership from a pile of inscriptions and recitals on the table, and appeased the scholars Hong Chengchou, Baylor Bolo, and Baylor Dugu Hanjiang to sign the report, and handed it to Fan Wencheng. "The specific situation is all in it."

Fan Wencheng took this report, and the corner of his eyes swept over the table, and several copies of the inscriptions of begging and thanking were piled up, what "Mu En Zhu Changshu is hereby revealed as a compliment to heaven", "Ming has been Zhou Wang Zhu Gong's internal assistant minister Cheng Shi rate unsealed five sons Zhu Shaoxuan", so Ming Chongwang Wang Shi Mu Enchen Zhu Cijiao and other titles, signatures, etc., were swept away, "Da Ming, it's really over!" He also let out a long breath in his heart, and a thousand pounds of boulder was put down.

Duoduo went down to the south of the Yangtze River, how many cities, how much wealth was included in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, this goes without saying, just because he captured the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong of the Ming Dynasty, and captured Zhu Changshu, the king of the prison country after Zhu Yousong, as well as several Ming Dynasty princes who lived near Hangzhou.

"Bolo did a good job, took Hangzhou, and the soldiers were extremely strong. A letter was sent out to the kings of the Ming Kingdom nearby, and they all obediently reported to the camp! ”

After occupying Hangzhou, Bolo took advantage of the situation to send envoys to recruit the prefectures of eastern Zhejiang and the Ming vassal kings who had taken refuge in this area. "When the king of Zhou lived in Xiaoshan, the king of Hui lived in Huiji, the king of Chong lived in Qiantang, and the king of Lu lived in the sea. Belle sent horsemen to repair the book, and invited the kings to meet with ginseng, mink, and other things. King Lu is a little farther away from the road, and he can't get sick. The two kings of Zhou and Hui crossed the river and went to summon the king. Find Nanjing, and go north with Emperor Hongguang and King Lu". Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Yanzhou and other prefecture officials also accepted the land and surrendered to the Qing.

That's where the begging and thanksgiving documents on Dolgon's table come from!

In order to survive under the iron hooves of the Qing army, in Hangzhou, I learned from Duoduo that the Qing court wanted to show the legitimacy of its own country, the so-called destiny of heaven, and at the same time, it was also necessary to show generosity and generosity and treat the previous dynasty clans.

The conditions for the maintenance of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulate that the Ming clan will be given 500 taels of silver every year, 400 taels for the prince of the county, 300 taels for the general of Zhenguo, 200 taels for the general of the auxiliary state, 100 taels for the general of Fengguo, and 30 acres of land for each lieutenant and below. I don't know if the unkind author read that the book was printed in the wrong amount, the most prince is only five hundred taels a year, is this money enough for those profligate clans to drink porridge?

However, even so, the clans who would rather lick the soles of their boots under their feet in order to survive are unwilling to carry the banner of resistance to the Qing army. Lu Wang Zhu Changshu's "Congratulations to Heaven" Shuzhong said: "Nianyuan Fanwei County (referring to Henan Weihui Mansion, Fuzhi Ji County) suffered from the disaster of rebellion, took refuge in Hangzhou, and was deeply worried about taking refuge. Fortunately, Wang Shi went south to save the people, that is, he led the crowd to surrender to sincerity and welcome the entry. "It probably means that Li Zicheng, a thief, destroyed my old nest in Weihui Mansion, Henan, and I was forced to have no choice but to take refuge in Jiangnan, and I didn't mix well. Thanks to you, it was you who led the king to the south to save the people from fire and water, and I was like a motherless child who saw his relatives, and immediately led his subordinates to open the city and surrender, and welcomed the Qing Dynasty to enter the city.

For this kind of text of the prisoner wagging his tail and begging for mercy, Fan Wencheng and Dolgon naturally had no interest in reading it carefully. Fan Wencheng rummaged through the pile of words for a while, but he couldn't find the words he wanted to see.

"Master, how can there be no Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the thank you of His Royal Highness King Fu?"

"This Hongguang Emperor is a bit of a bone." Dolgon couldn't help but admire, "Except for drinking with Duoduo every day to watch women play with women, anything else, no matter how soft and hard Hong Chengchou is, it won't work!" Thinking of the various complaints in Hong Chengchou's question book, Dolgon also smiled wryly, "If the emperor plays a scoundrel who is a ragged man, it will really be in trouble!" ”

"Then, master, why don't you take him," Fan Wencheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his right hand made a downward cutting motion. What this action means, both the master and slave know very well.

"You can't kill it!" Dolgon handed Fan Wencheng a document that had just been opened and sealed with fire paint to Fan Wencheng. "Mr. Fan, this is a military report from Lao Fifteen. Although the king of Hangzhou's prison state Lu surrendered the city, it was the Empress Dowager Zou who was in the city, and Ma Shiying escaped on Zheng Zhilong's ship at the last moment. ”

"What?!" The brush in Fan Wencheng's hand fell to the ground, and the cinnabar on the tip of the brush was dyed a red halo on the boots, which was particularly eye-catching on the black boots.

After the Empress Dowager Zou is gone, it means that the official legal system of the dynasty still exists, and as long as they are willing, these officials of the Ming court can continue to support the emperor.

This is why both Dorgon and Dodor were quick to count massacres in the thousands, and to treat such things as the slaughter of cities as commonplace, but not taking human lives seriously does not mean that they are idiots. Keeping the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong in his hands would allow the officials, gentry, military and civilians loyal to the Ming Dynasty to still have illusions, and at the same time, the legitimacy of those who supported the throne would be questioned.

Empress Dowager Zou and Ma Shiying fled to Zheng Zhilong's naval fleet, that is, to the hands of Li Shouhan of the Southern Guangdong Army. When such a righteous name is combined with the terrible strength of the Nanyue army, things will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to the Qing army.

"Master, what did Prince Yu's master say?" Fan Wencheng held this military newspaper in his hand, but he didn't dare to open it to read it. In case there is something in it that their brother said, it is not enough for outsiders to know, and he only knows about it as a slave, and it will inevitably bring trouble to himself.

"The two roads to Hangzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion have fought with Liang Guogong's men and horses. Some people were lost. Dolgon's voice was calm. Now, under the banner of the Qing army, it can be regarded as a large number of soldiers, and since entering the customs, there have been no less than one million people of all kinds of attached people. He has cannon fodder men and horses in his hands for him to splurge. "Bolo Na Road in Hangzhou Prefecture, when he tried to take over the trade zone, he exchanged fire with Zheng Zhilong's sailors, where are the opponents of those sailors under Bolo's Jin Shengheng? What's more, the other side's artillery fire was really sharp and fierce. After a while, four or five thousand men and horses were lost. ”

"The road to Songjiang Mansion was similar, and before entering the territory of Songjiang Mansion, it was blocked by the Nanyue Army. Two adjutant generals were killed, three staff officers and one general were captured. Counting it, it was also six or seven thousand people and horses that were eaten by Liang Guogong. ”

The loss of more than 10,000 people and horses, now the regent with a big family and a big business naturally doesn't pay attention to it, anyway, it is not the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners who died, and those miscellaneous people and horses who surrendered can just be consumed. However, these two small battles pitted the Qing army and the Nanyue army against each other directly.

Fan Wencheng also knew this point of his master's thoughts, and he didn't say much at the moment, just sorted out and filed all kinds of documents, and ordered the pen to sort these documents away. After completing this set of actions, I saw that Dolgon had been standing in front of the huge Ming Emperor's unified map for a while, holding a few small pennants in his hands, staring at the map in a daze.

On the map, most of the areas south of the Yangtze River have been planted with the pennant of the Qing army, but all of Songjiang Prefecture, a small corner of Hangzhou Prefecture, and a few places at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River are tenaciously standing with the "Li" banner representing the Southern Guangdong Army. As far as the eye can see, although most of Nanzhili has fallen into the hands of the Qing army, Gannan in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Fujian in the south of Zhejiang, and more distant Liangguang and other places are completely under the command of Li Shouhan.

"The fifteenth brother took Jiangnan, destroyed the Hongguang small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, captured an emperor and a prince of the prison country, and surrendered most of the Nanzhili, which made my Qing Dynasty's money bag bulge a lot. However, it made me face such a strong enemy in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, Dorgon let out a long sigh.

"Report!" A pen post was played in a low voice at the door, "Jiangnan Hong University Scholar has a question book." ”

"Bring it in!"

Dolgon's spirit was uplifted, and any military intelligence and government affairs could make him experience the great pleasure of being in power and making decisions in me, so when he was troubled by this current predicament, Hong Chengchou's latest report in front of him was undoubtedly a pleasing thing for him.

"Master, the inscription of Scholar Hong says that after anchoring on the Qiantang River for a while, Zheng Zhilong's sailor went to the direction of Shaoxing on the opposite bank. The business area was left to Bolobel and Dugu Hanjiang Baylor to take over. In the annex to the Bolobele document there is a list of the quantities of gold, silver, silk, tea, spirits, etc., seized. In addition, at present, the south of the Yangtze River is already very hot, and the soldiers in the north can hardly endure the scorching heat, and General Yangwei has ordered all departments to temporarily stop attacking and stay in place. ”

Hearing Fan Wencheng's outline and summarizing Hong Chengchou's recital, Dolgon couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, "Jiangnan has never clashed with Liang Guogong's subordinates again?" ”

"Nope. At present, our army and the Nanyue army are in the same place. The deep ditch and the high fortress are facing each other. ”

Although he did not seize the grain, gunpowder, steel, and other items that he needed most at the moment in the trade zone, he was able to have a large amount of gold, silver, silk, tea, spirits, and other items recorded in the account, which was also a great supplement to the current military expenditure of the Qing army.

The most important thing is that the military operations between the Qing army and the Nanyue army entered a state of confrontation.
