Dorgon was busy setting up Haug, and Haug wasn't idle.

The Qing army's successive defeats made Hauge realize that the time had come to overthrow Dorgon.

He entangled a group of men in the palace to discuss how to attack Dorgon.

"Lord, now if you want Dolgon to give up the position of regent, the only way to do it is to take successive defeats as the starting point, and you must not have the slightest hesitation."

"This king naturally knows, but how to make trouble, who will make the trouble, can you think about it?"

Hauge glanced at everyone in the hall, and when he saw that no one was speaking, he couldn't help but sneer: "Why, when it comes to the critical moment, they all retreat?" ”

No wonder Hauge asked.

After all, palace battles have always been a matter of life and death.

The more important the stakes, the more cautious the fighting sides become.

How each move should be made, and how the overall layout should be laid out, needs to be carefully designed.

Taking a step back, the people who jumped out to impeach Dorgon in the first place must not have been from the Hauge faction, at least not so obviously.

Otherwise, it gave Dorgon a reason to change the subject and arrange it at will.

So the up-and-coming bird has to look neutral.

Such a person is not easy to find, Hauge glanced at everyone in the hall and still did not find a suitable one.

These people have more or less to do with him. There are really few that have no connection at all.

"Lord Wang, the slave suddenly remembered someone, it should be appropriate."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Hauge said unhurriedly.

"This person is Prince Li."

Hearing the three words of Prince Li, Haoge was directly stunned.

He never thought it would be this answer.

Dai Shan held a respected position within the Qing court. When Huang Taiji died, Hauge and Dolgon competed for the throne, and he remained neutral. He didn't say anything until the two sides fought to win or lose.

To say that neutrality is good is absolutely neutral. But is it possible for such a man to count on him to help Hauge?

If he was willing to help, wouldn't he have helped earlier?

"I'm afraid it's not easy to convince Prince Li."

Even Hauge himself seems to be underconfident.

"If it were an ordinary time, Prince Li would definitely not take it lightly. But now it is not the same as in the past, seeing that the Qing Dynasty is about to lose the Central Plains, how can Prince Li, who is highly respected, not come out to preside over the overall situation? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The prince can take the initiative to go to Prince Li and promise him that after the matter is completed, the four major Baylor discussions will be resumed."

"Shhh

Hauge gasped when he heard this.

When his father, Emperor Taiji, first ascended the throne, he was still in the mode of the four major Baylor discussions.

Later, in order to centralize power, Huang Taiji carried out reforms to weaken the strength of several major Baylors and firmly hold power in his own hands. The four Baylor parliaments exist in name only.

Now let him propose the resumption of the four Baylor discussions, which is indeed very attractive to Dai Shan.

But...

Hauge overthrew Dorgon in order to replace him.

If he resumes the politics of the four major Baylors at that time and shares power with several other princes, he is a little unwilling.

"Lord Wang, the slave heard that there is a saying among the Han people, which says that a reluctant child can't trap a wolf. If the prince is aiming for a great position, the necessary compromise should be made. ”

"Let me think again."

Hauge rubbed the corners of his forehead as he closed his eyes and pondered the pros and cons.

Dai Shan does not have the ambition to be an emperor. To some extent, it would be nice to give him some power.

However, Dolgon is extremely ambitious, and if he does not get rid of it, he will be a great threat to Hauge.

He weighed it and said in a deep voice, "That's it." The king agreed to cooperate with Prince Li. But..."

He paused and then said, "This matter must not be known to others. ”

...

...

Admiral Cao Jiang, Jiangxi Governor Yuan Jixian immediately prepared to go on the expedition after receiving the holy decree.

Although the soldiers at hand are not as many as Wen Anzhi and Plug Yinxi, he also has more than 100,000 horses.

The Holy Lord handed him the heavy responsibility of quelling the rebellion of King Gui, and he naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

It's just that the army goes out on the march, and it is by no means a matter of casual talk.

Among the more than 100,000 people, in addition to leaving tens of thousands of people to garrison, even if 100,000 people are mobilized to go on the expedition, it will cost a lot of money just to eat and chew horses every day.

The imperial court will only provide part of these grains, and let Yuan Jixian raise the rest by himself.

Although Jiangxi is a land of fish and rice, it is impossible to conjure up some grain out of thin air.

After thinking about it, Yuan Jixian could only use the grain reserves in the rice warehouse.

These grains were originally intended to be used in the future Northern Expedition to the Tartars, but it is really a pity that they will be used to quell the rebellion of King Gui now.

There is no shortage of ships in Jiangxi, nor is there a shortage of sailors.

Therefore, Yuan Jixian prepared to dispatch a naval division to cooperate with the army on land to encircle the Guiwang rebels.

King Gui's rebellion was a gathering of troops from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.

If they go north, they will inevitably attack Jiangxi.

Yuan Jixian was ready to strike first, and mobilized the army in advance to go to the border to wait for work.

Yuan Jixian is very confident in the army he personally trained.

His training method was completely based on the way the Son of Heaven trained the Divine Command Army. The combat effectiveness of the trained soldiers is extremely high, far from being comparable to ordinary guards and recruits.

Especially in the training of water masters, Yuan Jixian has a lot of experience.

River battles and naval battles are completely different. Jiang Zhan emphasized that ships were more flexible, while naval warfare was about whose ships were strong and whose guns were stronger.

Yuan Jixian's sailors may not have a single hull that is not very large, but it is very light and flexible.

For example, some long boats and fast crabs can enter some narrow waterways, which ordinary fortune boats and wide boats cannot do.

Before this expedition, Yuan Jixian was also ready to go to the water division station again. The first is to cheer up the mobilization of the officers and men of the naval division, and the second is to review it.

This battle is the first major battle since he concurrently served as the commander of Caojiang, and he must show momentum and achieve results.

As for King Gui, he will use it as a stepping stone for him.

Yuan Jixian is a vigorous and resolute character, and he does everything he says.

But he said that he immediately went to the camp of the sailor with a group of personal soldiers.

Immediately after arriving, the officers and men of the naval division were assembled to inspect the school grounds.

Yuan Jixian said impassionedly: "You are all soldiers recruited by Yuan. You can remember why you want to be a soldier? ”

"Northern Expedition!"

"Get the Tartars out of the gate!"

"Restore Shenjing!"

Yuan Jixian nodded with satisfaction when he heard these answers.

"You are right, this official has summarized your answer to one point, that is, to take back what belongs to us, what belongs to our Han family!"

The audience immediately became excited.

"Your Excellency the Governor is right, take back what belongs to us."

Yuan Jixian pressed down with both hands and then said: "But now that King Gui is plotting rebellion and wants to cause chaos to the imperial court, the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Holy Lord may be affected." Do you agree? ”

"No promise, never promise!"

"King Zhugui, King Zhugui, King Zhugui!"
