The new official took office with three fires, which is a universal truth, because no one wants to be someone else's shadow, otherwise the allusion of "Cao Sui Xiao Gui" will not be sung for thousands of years.

Dolgon was absolutely unwilling to live in the shadow of his starling for a long time. He must further develop on the basis of the legacy left by Huang Taiji, so that he can truly become the uncrowned king of the Qing Dynasty.

The sporadic attacks on the Ming army in the winter of last year were just an appetizer, and the battle situation was always kept outside the Guan, but after entering the seventeenth year, Dorgon began to eyeing the Guannai.

Every day, I am watching the situation change in the Kannai. Because the news from the Fan family made him feel pleasantly surprised, the Ming Dynasty, a weakened but incomparably huge monster, suddenly ushered in its own avalanche.

Dorgon saw an opportunity, an opportunity to reinvent Daqing, and an opportunity for him to completely break free from the shadow of Huang Taiji.

He will not let go of this opportunity.

If this is the case, regarding the hectic measures and various disputes in the Yanjing court, as well as the progress of the "thieves", they will be sent to Shengjing almost every day or every three or two days, and they will be secretly reported to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and then quickly reported to Prince Rui's palace. Every day, Dorgon was thinking about how to take this opportunity to lead his army into the Central Plains.

He doesn't take Li Zicheng seriously, what is so terrible about the team that can be defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and the master who has achieved a career by relying on a moment of luck?

Li Zicheng was beaten by Hong Chengchou at the beginning, only eighteen horsemen fled into Shangluo Mountain, Hong Chengchou was transferred out of Guanzhong before he dared to come out to make waves, how can his team fight can compare to the invincible soldiers trained in the Qing Dynasty's 20 years of conquest?

At this time, the Ming Dynasty authorities had no time to consider the movements of the Manchus because they were too busy to take care of themselves.

In fact, the debate in Yanjing City on whether to recruit Wu Sangui into the capital has been decided, and Emperor Chongzhen's will to recruit the army has been decided.

The so-called, Ningyuan is a lonely city, and it is bound to be abandoned. Abandon it today as a land, and tomorrow as a man. It is no longer possible to abandon the land, and it is even more forbidden to abandon the land and the people. Wu Sangui Yong should be used, and he should not be entrusted to the enemy. Today, if you come to defend the Beijing Division, you will kill two birds with one stone.

Even if Wu Xiang opened his mouth widely, the million-dollar military salary startled him.

Zheng Zhilong only arrived in Cangzhou and heard the news. Emperor Chongzhen not only issued an edict to Wu Sangui, but the edict was also sent to Zheng Zhibao's hands, asking him to lead the soldiers and horses to retreat south to Shanhaiguan.

Zheng Zhibao looked at the edict and smiled, of course he would not obey orders, Juehua Island is the foundation of the Zheng family outside the Guan, and a large number of military supplies are stored on the island, once it is retreated, won't it be destroyed?

Li Zicheng, on the other hand, was carried away by the continuous military victories over the past year or so, and second, he was short-sighted and did not understand that the strong enemy he had after his eastward expedition to Youyan entered Beijing was not the helpless Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming court, which was like the sunset of the West Mountain, but the so-called "Dongyu" who rose in Liaodong and was eyeing the Guannei, so he knew little or even nothing about the situation outside the Guan.

In his head, in his eyes, there were no Manchu Tartars among the enemies he could see. Because there is no exchange of troops between the two sides, there will naturally be no enmity. How could he have expected that he had already been nailed to the eyes of Dolgon.

From the time of the Huang Taiji morale, the Manchus had been keeping a close eye on the peasant army in the Central Plains, and in their eyes, the latter was their natural ally. Now, this natural ally has unconsciously evolved into a rival of the Manchus, and the purpose of both is to seize the Ming Dynasty, the only difference is that Li Zicheng is not aware of it.

Since Huang Taiji's sudden death, half a year has passed, and a relatively stable political pattern has been formed within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The two yellow and blue flag factions led by Prince Su Hauge and the two white flags of the three Dolgon brothers are evenly matched, but Dolgon has the support of the little emperor's wife in the palace, even if it seems to be close to separation, so he holds the authority. Zilharang has been a shrunken turtle a lot lately, and although he and Dolgon are both auxiliary princes, they will never dare to compete with Dolgon. Maintain a certain degree of tacit understanding with the two red flags of Daishan, and can be regarded as a neutral faction.

Dorgon had great power in his hands, and the first thing he did was to show grace within, or to show grace frequently.

For example, although the latter died in the third son Bolo in the right year, the second son Bo and Tuo can still be used. Moreover, Abatai was also crowned the king of the county, and it seems that his previous sins have been written off.

Daishan's old fox, Dolgon can't hold it, but there are many adults in the Daishan family, and his eldest son Yue Tuo has a lineage, and there are many unpleasant things after Yue Tuo dies, and then there are seven sons Mandahai and so on.

The descendants of Shuosai and Chu Ying of the Huang Taiji system, the former has been enveloped by Dolgon, the reason is very simple, although he is the son of Huang Taiji, but not long after he was born, his old mother, the side concubine Yehenara, was given by Huang Taiji to the Minister of the Interior Zhan Tushetu as his wife (wonderful, more than once, the other is the Borzigit clan. Huang Taiji, she remarried Nan Chu, the son of Yehebe Delegeltaiji). And Nikan, too, was shaken by Dolgon's frequent wooing, because Hauge was really not a weapon.

So, the internal political structure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now quite solid. There is no hope of change, at least in the short term. Especially the hearts of the people of the two yellow flags, although they are here in Haoge, they are also in the little emperor, which makes Haoge in a state of suppression.

This kind of political environment must be what Da Yu'er in the harem is happy to see, because if this pattern is stable, her son's throne will also be stable.

If Hauge really wants to merge with Dolgon, can he still let his mother and son go?

Dolgon also saw all this clearly, and the throne itself should not be thought about, at least not in the short term. Otherwise, the two yellow flags would not be successful if they were not on fire with themselves, and the matter of drawing a sword in the Turg Hall that day would not only represent him.

The eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are divided into three flags and five flags, as long as you think of the changes of the two yellow flags and two white flags when the old slave was old, then you can understand what the consequences of the emperor's change of inheritance are.

Dolgon simply found another way, as long as he could establish the merits of Yuanmai Huangtaiji, he, the regent, would not be the emperor.

Now the army led by Li Zicheng has broken through Taiyuan, forced Datong to surrender, and rushed all the way to Yanjing; And another of his men and horses also crossed the Yellow River, as a partial division, went to the party, broke Huaiqing, broke Weihui again, went north to Zhangde, and swept the three prefectures in northern Henan. Seeing that it was about to enter the north and occupy Baoding. "Zhu Ming Jiangshan is already dying." When Dolgon encountered this founding opportunity, he was in a great mood, and presided over the court meeting for several days, discussing decisions with everyone.

"Does this post man really have an army of 500,000?" Abatai exclaimed after reading the edict sent by the Fan family to Li Zicheng and Yan.

This man is so good? He led an army of 500,000 from Hancheng to cross the river into Jin, and there were still a million troops behind. If Li Zicheng had indeed had so many men and horses going north, the total number of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han men in the Qing Dynasty would not have exceeded 150,000, but he must not rush south, lest he be defeated by the hands of the "thieves" who were numerous and full of morale.

"Haha, Seventh Brother thinks too highly of Li Zicheng, haven't you forgotten Cao Cao's 800,000 army in Chibi?" The story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been widely circulated in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is a popular theme of storytelling, and many Manchu nobles have heard of it.

"Prince Rui is wise. In the humble opinion of the slaves, Li Thief claimed that 500,000 horses had crossed the river into the Jin Dynasty and committed Youyan in the east, which was really an exaggeration, and the actual number of troops was by no means the same. The number of generals is probably between 200,000 and 300,000, not more. Let's take 300,000, and the number of troops that can fight under Yanjing will not exceed 200,000. Fan Wencheng saw the stitches.

He should really thank Zheng Zhilong, otherwise at this moment, there would be a Hong Chengchou who has a heavier say in the Central Plains affairs to speak here.

"Oh, what do you say? Li Thief is like a bamboo all the way, and the soldiers and horses are rolling snow, should it only get bigger and bigger? ”

"In the rest of the month, the Li thief swept through the entire western Jin, where the thief army was concerned, and there were many passes, how could there be no army stationed? Even if there are many troops, how dare they be gullible? In addition, Li Ziwei is a thief and is good at flowing. Now in Chang'an, the establishment of a false name, seems to be strict, crossing the river to the east, in a vain attempt to capture Yanjing to the throne of the emperor, then you can only march to the law, along the way to transport heavy baggage is not simple? Therefore, Li Thief crossed the river east with 300,000 people, and left troops to garrison along the way, and when he arrived at Yanjing City, there were only 200,000 more people. ”

Fan Wencheng and Zu Dashou, there are not many Han officials present today, but each one is very important. is like Zu Dashou, he has a nephew named Wu Sangui.
