Chapter 539: The Choice of Acting for Good

In this turbulent situation that is almost the end of the world, in the clan of Aixin Jueluo, not only the two families of Dexik and Dudu, are urgently looking for a way out, but at this time staying in Shengjing City, the most powerful Prince of Li, Daishan's family, is also the whole house, and it is like a pot of porridge.

In this world changed by Li Xiao, at this moment, there are two people in the Daishan family who have become the banner owners, the main owner of the Zhenghong Banner is Prince Li Daishan, and the owner of the Red Flag is Shuotuo, the second son of Daishan. The rest of the sons also have their own titles. Now Dai Shan's family is gathering in the secret room of Prince Li's mansion to urgently discuss how their family should act in this sudden major chaos.

In the secret room, the candles were bright, and the Dai Shan family gathered together, sitting in two rows, everyone had serious expressions, nervous expressions, and the atmosphere was very depressed and depressed.

All the participants were Prince Dai Shan, the second son Bei Zi Shuotuo, the fourth son Wakda, the fifth son Barama, the sixth son Ma Zhan, and the seventh son Mandahai. In addition, the eldest son Luo Luohun and the second son Luo Luohuan, the deceased eldest son, Yue Zhizhi, and the third son Duran, the third son of the late third son Sakhalian.

Prince Dai Shan, who was sitting at the top, looked around at his children and grandchildren, and unconsciously frowned more and more, and his typical long face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.

In the end, it was he who coughed lightly and was the first to break the extremely oppressive silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation has changed dramatically, and it is really unexpected. However, we are in the whirlpool, and Encore can easily get out! Alas, whatever you think about the present situation, you can speak frankly and bluntly, and there is no need to conceal it. ”

As soon as Dai Shan's words fell, Shuotuo, who was the owner of the Red Flag Banner, was the first to jump up from his chair, and he shouted to everyone in an impassioned tone: "Amma, brothers and nephews, in my opinion, what is there to hesitate about, just go directly to Prince Dolgon, so why bother thinking about it." ”

Shuoto's idea is exactly the same as that of him in real history, who wanted to support Dorgon as emperor.

According to the "Qing Historical Manuscript", after the kings swore to support the ninth son of Huang Taiji, Fulin, as the emperor, Adali and Shuotuo were very dissatisfied, and the two discussed: "Now the country is in turmoil, and it urgently needs a person with a prestige and ability to serve the people as the emperor. Such a thing must not be allowed to happen. “

Therefore, the two discussed and came and went, and still felt that the current Prince Rui Dolgon was the most resourceful and prestigious, and most suitable to take over as the emperor of the Qing Empire, and if he could support him, he would become the first to support the hero, and his wealth and glory could not be just around the corner.

The two of them had made up their minds, so they went to Dai Shan to discuss, and Dai Shan listened to the plan of the two, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly reprimanded: "What did you do, didn't all the kings have sworn to support Fu Lin, the ninth son of Emperor Chongde, as the emperor?" Why do you still come to conspire and rebel at this time, don't you want to die? “

Daishan's stern persuasion did not make the two change their minds, and Shuoto and Adali successively sent their close ministers to see Dolgon, expressing their determination and desire to support him as emperor, but unexpectedly, Dolgon was extremely cunning and did not immediately agree to them, but did not express his position.

In order to make this support a reality, the two of them pulled Dorobelle Rohun, and together they went to the prince of Li, Daishan, and wanted him to participate in the action of supporting Dorgon, but as a result, they were scolded by Daishan, and then reported their crimes to Dolgon, and made them public.

At this point, Daishan and Dolgon jointly announced their crimes, tied them naked to the yamen, and convicted them of "disturbing the state politics and acting as a rebel", and hanged them in the market together with Adali's mother and Shuto's wife.

Poor Shuoto was bent on supporting the merits, but he didn't expect that Liling's faint self would eventually be thrown out by Dorgon as a scapegoat to calm the anger of the public. Poor Shuoto's imaginary Feihuang Tengda and Rich and Famous Names have nothing, and even a small life has been lost in an unknown way. The true ending of Shuoto in history is enough to make people sigh,

Now, after Shuo Tuo finished speaking, the fourth son Wakda next to him said coldly: "Shuo Tuo, you are too rash to think about the problem, how can you assume that Dolgon will definitely be able to control the situation with a big hand, and Hauge will definitely fail, but it is suspected of being biased?" “

Shuoto sneered: "Didn't you hear the rout soldiers who fled back said that since the emperor was seriously injured and could not be a director, the current commander of the expedition to Vladivostok Fort is Dolgon. The Duoduo, Hauge, Abatai and others who went out on the expedition were all controlled by Dolgon, which shows that Dolgon became the successor of the Qing Empire, which is really expected by everyone. Besides, among the eight banners now, only the three banners of Zhenghuang, Huang, and Zhenglan can be loyal to Haoge, while Dolgon has the support of the three banners of Zhengbai, Bai, and Blue, as well as the support of the entire Mongolian Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Mongolian tribes of Inner and Outer Khalkha, the support he can get, and how big can he be in the Qing Kingdom, who can compete with him? And that Hauge, by contrast, could not speak at all with him. “

When he said this, Na Luo Luohun also stood up and agreed: "Second Uncle is right, Dolgon's power is so great, in the Qing Dynasty, there is really no one who can compete with it, and Dolgon is known for his prestige and resourcefulness, so he can be said to be the most suitable person to rule the Qing Dynasty." And that Haoge, although he has martial arts and is also brave, but he is indebted in wisdom, hesitant in action, greedy for money and lustful, and short-sighted, how can such a person become the successor of the Qing Empire. In terms of strength, Hauge only has these three banners to rely on, and he has no support, and what capital and conditions does he have, but he can compete with Dorgon. I was thinking, these two people are really going to fight in the future, maybe Haug will quickly rout, and the three banners that support him will also quickly fall apart, if the fate of my family is tied to this person, wouldn't it be self-defeating? Therefore, I also very much support the opinion of the second uncle, and let me fully support Dolgon with the two red flags, so as to strive to gain the initiative in this battle of the dragon, establish meritorious deeds, and finally successfully protect my family's official title and title. “

After Luo Luohun finished speaking, his own brother Luo Luohuan and Dai Shan's seventh son Man Dahai all stood up and expressed their support for Dolgon, asking Dai Shan to make a decision to let the two red flags be loyal to Dolgon and fully support Dolgon to seize the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.

What Shuotuo and the others didn't expect was that after listening to their advice, Dai Shan was frowning and expressionless.

Compared with the younger generation such as Shuotuo, among the descendants of the old slaves, the oldest Dai Shan has already experienced countless ups and downs, and he has seen too much of these political struggles to the death. He thinks about the worst plan for everything first, and he doesn't think it is natural for Shuotuo and others to be wishful thinking and optimistic estimates, but it is not good to refute it directly, so he can only keep a strained face and not speak.

At this time, the fourth son, Wagda, stood up, shook his head, snorted coldly, and immediately began to refute Shuo Tororohun and others.

"Second brother, seventh brother, all virtuous nephews, you let my family fully support Dolgon, and I want to use this to get the merit of the dragon and let my family's power and wealth be preserved, but I think about it, but I feel very inappropriate."

"What's wrong, you can just say it." Shuoto grimaced and replied stiffly.

Wagda sneered: "Second brother, let me ask you, Dolgon seems to be powerful, but if you think that Hauge can really only resist and sit still, then you are completely wrong. You can imagine, Haoge now has the support of three banners, although the yellow flag and the yellow flag in the previous battles with the Tang army, lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but these three banners combined, Haoge can get more than 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, if he returns in a hurry, according to Shengjing Jiancheng to defend itself, relying on the abundant materials and weapons in the city, it may not be without the strength of a battle. Therefore, I believe that this battle is not possible to be resolved quickly at all, but is very likely to be protracted and difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. And if such a stalemate situation continues, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no external forces that will take the opportunity to intervene in the civil war of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Hearing him say this, the sixth son Ma Zhan, who had not spoken on the side, hurriedly interjected: "But will the Russian Empire take the opportunity to intervene?" ”

Wagda smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "Russia is far away in the north of the desert, and it is blocked by ice and snow, even if it wants to meddle in the domestic affairs of our Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it is also powerless." Therefore, with regard to the Russian Empire, I do not think there is a need to worry too much. With their ability, at most, they could plunder and harass the Jurchen tribe in the outer Manchurian region. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth son, Barama, interjected with a hesitant expression: "Then according to what you say, it is impossible for the Russian Empire to intervene, could it be the Ming Dynasty?" You must know that the Ming Kingdom was wiped out by 130,000 elites in the Songjin War a few months ago, where is the ability to participate in the civil war of my Great Qing Dynasty again, and the Ming Court and my Qing Dynasty only signed a peace agreement more than a month ago, so it is unlikely that they will immediately turn their faces and fight, right? Not to mention ......"

Before Balama could say anything, Wagda interrupted him impatiently: "Old Five, you think too much, the Ming Dynasty is now in decline in national strength, and it is overflowing, and it is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, how can I still have the ability to intervene in the disputes of my Qing Dynasty." Think about it again, in today's world, who still has the ability and desire to intervene in the power struggle of our Qing Empire? “

Barama scratched his shaved blue hair, frowned and thought for a while, before suddenly a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, he raised his head suddenly, and said loudly to Wagda: "Fourth brother, could it be that you are talking about Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, and the Tang army under him?" “

Wagda grimaced and nodded heavily.

Shuotuo on the side, his face suddenly showed a stunned and solemn expression, and he said in a trembling voice: "Fourth, do you mean, then Li Xiao will take this opportunity to take the initiative to participate in the disputes in my Qing Dynasty?" “

"That's for sure!" A hideous look flashed on Wagda's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The current Li Xiao's power continues to grow and develop, and the huge Nanyang can no longer accommodate his ambitions. In recent years, Li Xiao, like a tiger swallowing the sky, has continuously expanded his own power in the outer Manchurian region, successively annexed Ezo Island and Sakhalin Island, built the Miaojie Fort at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, occupied the city of Yakutsk in the far north, and recently built the Vladivostok Fort, implementing a strategy of pressing the Qing Empire step by step and constantly encroaching on it. “

Wagda paused and replied: "The current Li Xiao, although he has always been eyeing my Daqing land, but the reason why he only adopted such a relatively mild encroachment strategy, but did not have a head-on battle with my Daqing Dynasty, one is that the Nanyang region he annexed is still in the digestion stage, and the large areas of wild land have not been fully developed, and the population under his rule is still relatively lacking, so he does not have enough strength to compete with my Daqing now, so he can only use such a relatively feminine way of encroachment. to continue to expand their territory. And secondly, it is in such a state that the overall national situation of our Qing Dynasty has been in a state of prosperity, the country is very united and stable, although there are occasional disputes, but they can be quickly pacified, which makes Li Xiao, a tiger who has been choosing the opportunity to devour people, not find the opportunity to claw, and now, this key reason, with the imminent infighting between Dolgon and Hauge, no longer exists. “

Wagda said this, deliberately paused, he quietly looked around the crowd, and their faces showed serious thinking expressions.

Wagda continued: "Therefore, if there is internal strife in the country, foreign enemies will take advantage of the gap. Now Li Xiao has the ability and determination, and what he lacks is just a suitable time and opportunity. Now that this unprecedented turmoil in my Great Qing Kingdom has arrived, will Li Xiao let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? I'm thinking, as long as he wasn't stupid, I'm afraid he would bet everything to participate in the biggest turmoil in the Great Qing Kingdom since the founding of the country. “

After Wagda finished speaking, the surrounding brothers and nephews began to talk about it, and Dai Shan, who was sitting on the top, heard Wagda's remarks, although his face was still trying to remain silent, but in his heart, he couldn't stop sighing.

He knew that Wagda was right, the current Li Xiao, with the continuous growth of strength, his power has swelled to an astonishing level, and it has long been not a day or two to harbor ill thoughts about the Qing Empire.

At this time, among the participants, the youngest of the participants, the late Dulan, the third son of the late Prince Ying Sakhalian, asked in a timid tone: "Fourth uncle, then in your opinion, how will the Tang army intervene in this dispute between me and the Qing Dynasty?" “
