Dorgon nodded lightly and said, "Mr. Hong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, every new monarch who ascends the throne will always draw a group of courtiers in order to seek absolute loyalty.

Today, Dolgon is not an emperor, but he is more than an emperor.

As the regent, he naturally had to draw up a group of courtiers who were loyal to him and leave his own mark.

Is Fan Wencheng loyal to the Qing Dynasty? Of course!

But after all, he was the person promoted by Huang Taiji, and he played a pivotal role in Huang Taiji's dynasty.

If Dorgon continues to reuse him, he will inevitably appear incompetent.

At this time, it is naturally better to promote a "new person".

However, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are very few people who have not received the favor of Huang Taiji at all.

This is also normal, after all, Huang Taiji's yin poison is a little poisonous, but he still knows how to use it well.

There may be only one person he has not entrusted with the important task, and that is Hong Chengchou.

When Hong Chengchou descended to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was also very happy, but for some reason, Huang Taiji did not reuse Hong Chengchou.

Until Huang Taiji's death, Hong Chengchou did not get any substantive position.

This seemed incomprehensible to Dorgon.

So the first thing he did after he took the position was to promote Hong Chengchou and take him as his right-hand man.

Hong Chengchou is naturally very grateful for Dolgon's promotion, and he protects Dolgon everywhere and puts Dolgon's interests first.

Now, seeing that Dorgon was at a dead end, he certainly had to make a suggestion.

"Lord, the slave heard that Prince Ying went to Mongolia to steal horses again."

As soon as these words came out, Dorgon's face immediately became gloomy.

Why so?

Because Azig had had a previous experience of grabbing horses.

At that time, Dolgon ordered Azig to attack northern Shaanxi, and cooperated with Duoduo, who attacked Tongguan, to put pressure on Li Zicheng.

I don't know if Azig was crazy and went to Mongolia to grab a horse.

In this way, it is equivalent to that the Shun army in northern Shaanxi has not been subjected to too much pressure, and it is completely Duoduo who is fighting alone.

Fortunately, in the end, Duoduo took Tongguan, and Li Zicheng took the initiative to retreat. Otherwise, God knows if the Qing army would have taken a big heel in Shaanxi.

Afterwards, Dorgon reprimanded Azig harshly, not saving face for this fellow brother.

Azig felt very aggrieved.

Didn't you just go to grab the horse, and it didn't affect the battle situation in the end. Northern Shaanxi was still taken down by him, why did he still scold him?

Dolgon also knew that Azig was not convinced, so he made amends afterwards and let him guard Shaanxi.

Who would have thought that Azig would still not be happy, and come again when Dolgon ordered a large-scale attack!

Dolgon knew that Hong Chengchou's temperament was very old and steady, and it was impossible for him to talk nonsense with his tongue.

He said that Azig went to Mongolia to steal horses, so there is a chance that this matter is not a certainty.

Hey, this Azig is really muddy and can't hold up the wall.

In Dolgon's plan, the reason why Duoduo and Azig led their troops to attack Shandong and Huguang respectively was to take advantage of the lack of strength of the Ming army, especially the lack of elites.

The Ming army would either defend Shandong or Huguang, while the Qing army could launch a fierce attack from both directions at the same time, and always take one.

But now that Azig did not lead his troops to launch an offensive, the Ming army did not need to deploy too many troops in Huguang, and the Shandong side seemed to be at ease.

Dolgon knew that the Qing army did not fight a few tough battles after entering the customs, and basically relied on the original Ming army to open the city and surrender.

In a word, the Ming army was not as weak as imagined, and the Qing army was not as strong as it seemed.

If you really fight, the victory or defeat is probably a millimeter.

There is no room for carelessness on the battlefield, let alone a key battle related to the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty.

The Ming army could drag it, but the Qing army couldn't afford it.

The further it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the Qing Dynasty.

With so many mouths to fill, how can you do without food.

And if you can't take Huguang and Shandong, how can you grow enough food in such a place in the north alone?

"This king, this king wants to go to Guanzhong in person to see what Azig is doing!"

Dolgon only felt angry, and wanted to send his horse to the gate now.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly persuaded: "The prince must not." Jingshi can't be without the prince. ”

Hong Chengchou's advice was to attract Dolgon's attention, but not to let Dolgon go to Shaanxi in person.

If this is the case, who can suppress it if something happens to Jingshi?

Hauge is eyeing him, if Dorgon leaves Jingshi Hauge and takes the opportunity to make trouble, won't it change the sky?

Hong Chengchou is probably the person who least wants Haoge to take the position.

Because his rise to prominence was all due to Dorgon. He was also heavily branded with the Dorgon faction.

If Haoge ascends the throne, the first person to be purged is probably Hong Chengchou.

"Hmph, if this king doesn't go, who else dares to say him. Is Wu Sangui okay? Is it still a good idea? ”

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said: "The slave is willing to go for the prince, but he also asked the prince to issue a special order for the slave to take it." ”

"Huh? Mr. Hong is going to Guanzhong? ”

Dolgon really didn't think of it.

But it wasn't for nothing that he thought about it.

After all, Hong Chengchou was in the capacity of the governor of Shaanxi Military Affairs to suppress bandits in Guanzhong.

Although Li Zicheng was not eliminated in the end, his performance was also remarkable.

If it is said that among the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty who are familiar with Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou can definitely be ranked in the forefront.

"The minions are willing to share the regent's worries!"

The reason why Hong Chengchou said this is of course not the result of a hot brain. In fact, he did it after a lot of deliberate consideration.

Of course, it is good to continue to stay in Jingshi and give advice to Dolgon, but it is not easy to shine.

But if you go to Shaanxi, it's completely different.

What kind of character Azig is is unknown to others, isn't it clear to Dorgon?

It would be good if such a brave and unscrupulous man presided over military and government affairs, and it would be good if there was no chaos, and it was unrealistic to expect him to perform brilliantly.

But if Hong Chengchou can change this situation, so that the Qing army can seize Huguang and enter Sichuan to make the situation prosperous, won't he prove his ability from the side?

At that time, who else in the Manchu Dynasty would dare to question him Hong Chengchou?

As a bigwig of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Hong Chengchou knows very well that officialdom is like a battlefield.

If you want to stand tall, it is not enough to rely on the king's favor and support, you must show absolute strength.

And this is something that he could not do while staying in Beijing.

Therefore, going to Guanzhong to assist Azig is a great opportunity.

Dolgon was not stupid, and after thinking about it carefully, he probably understood Hong Chengchou's intentions.

It's just that he is a little reluctant, Hong Chengchou is a capable minister with the talent of slaughter and auxiliary, so it is a waste to let him go to Shaanxi like this.
