Chapter 62: Fan Wencheng Makes Suggestions

(Second Update!) Asking for a recommendation ticket, Lao Kun urgently needs a recommendation ticket, crying blood and begging! Thanks to the lazy Yang Yang for the 1,000 coin tip, the 500 coin reward for the book friend Rou Zhihu, and the 100 coin reward for the book friend Floating Tour. )

Dolgon's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fan might as well say it clearly." ”

Although since he became regent, he has paid more attention to Hong Chengchou in terms of Hanchen, but it does not mean that he has forgotten Fan Wencheng.

On the contrary, he has a lot of trust in Fan Wencheng. This trust also makes sense. After all, Fan Wencheng Wanli took the initiative to serve in the account of Emperor Taizu when he was forty-six years old, and for many years he has made great contributions to the Aixin Jueluo family.

If there was no Fan Wencheng, how could Huang Taiji in the third year of Tiancong so easily appease the five cities of Panjiakou, Malanyu, Shantunying, Malanguan, and Daankou.

If there was no Fan Wencheng, how could Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others come to surrender without scruples in the seventh year of Tiancong.

If there was no Fan Wencheng, how could he Dolgon resolutely send troops to attack Ming in the first year of Shunzhi, and finally seek Shanhaiguan and be able to chase the Central Plains.

The Qing Dynasty cannot do without Fan Wencheng, and will never forget Fan Wencheng's great contributions to the Qing Dynasty over the years.

"Lord Wang, if this world is a chessboard, then where does the Lord think it is a must-take place?"

Fan Wencheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said unhurriedly.

"Well... This king has also heard of the golden horn and silver edge grass belly. According to this king, if you regard it as a chessboard today, Sichuan, Guanzhong, Beizhili, and southeast are the four corners, which are the places that must be taken. ”

Dorgon is also quite proficient in chess, even when it comes to talking.

"Sichuan is located in the southwest, there are natural dangers to defend, and it is called the country of abundance. If it is taken, it can be developed with confidence, and the training of troops in Tuntian is self-sufficient and there is no need to worry about the future. However, this place has been occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take it for a while. ”

After a pause, Dolgon continued: "Guanzhong has been a place that must be taken for the world since ancient times, and there is a saying that those who can get Guanzhong will win the world. Now that Guanzhong is in the hands of Li Zicheng, if you want to fight it, I am afraid that it will be a tough battle. ”

Taking a deep breath, Dorgon got up and paced.

"As for Beizhili, needless to say, it is where the dragon vein of Jifu is located, and it is now under the control of the Qing Dynasty. The rest is the southeast, which is still under the rule of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Dolgon said it in one breath, and he only felt happy.

"What the prince said is right. If you look at the world as a chessboard, then the golden four corners are indeed these four places. Coincidentally, these four corners are occupied by the Quartet, which is most likely to dominate the world. ”

Fan Wencheng's words were echoed by Dolgon. The Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong all have the strength to compete in the Central Plains.

"The prince also said that playing chess is about occupying the corner first, then seizing the edge, and finally expanding to seek the overall situation. So why don't you connect these four corners and see where the silver edge is? ”

Dolgon suddenly realized and carefully analyzed: "If the four corners are connected, Shanxi, Shandong, Huguang, and Hanzhong are the four sides. From this point of view, Henan is located in the heart of the world, but it is the land of four wars. ”

"Shanxi is located between Beizhili and Guanzhong, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or Li Zicheng, if you want to annex the other party, you must take it. Hanzhong is located between Sichuan and Guanzhong, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Li Zicheng, if you want to annex the other party, you must take it. Huguang is located between the southeast and Sichuan, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Zhan Ming, if you want to annex the other party, you must take it. Shandong is located between the north and the southeast, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, if you want to annex the other party, you must take it. ”

Fan Wencheng finished speaking in one breath and said with emotion: "Now there is a direct conflict with the Qing Dynasty is Li Zicheng in Guanzhong, and the remnant Ming in the southeast. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to expand to the west, it had to take Shanxi. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to expand to the south, it had to take Shandong. In the same way, if the remnants of the Ming want to expand northward, Shandong must also hold it in their hands. As for Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, there is no need to think about it for the time being. ”

Hiss!

After Fan Wencheng's analysis, Dolgon was terrified.

In this way, it is very easy to understand that the remnant Ming court received Shandong.

"If that's the case, what should this king do?"

Dolgon was a little panicked, if Shandong was collected by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army could go north at any time and enter Henan and Jifu. There is Li Zicheng in Shanxi, and the Qing Dynasty can be described as a tiger and wolf feeding.

"Don't worry, the slave has a plan to break this deadlock."

Hearing that Fan Wencheng was going to offer advice, Dolgon was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Fan, please speak quickly." ”

"For the sake of today's plan, we should concentrate our forces and take one side first. The minions thought that they should concentrate their forces and storm Shanxi. Shanxi, as soon as you take it, Guanzhong is at your fingertips. As for the remnants of the light, you can first be false and wrong. As long as Li Zicheng is destroyed, the prince can free up his hands to deal with the remnant Ming. ”

Dolgon frowned and said: "This king also knows that he should fight one side first, but will the remnant Ming court stick a knife in the back when this king deals with Li Zicheng?" ”

Dolgon's fears were not unfounded. If the Qing court dispatched the main force to deal with Li Zicheng, the troops of the Ki Fu generation would inevitably be very empty.

If the remnant Ming court sent troops to attack from behind, it would be very troublesome.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, the slave has a plan to ensure that Jifu is not lost."

Fan Wencheng deliberately sold a pass, and glanced at Hong Chengchou on the side with his spare eyes, looking very proud.

Dolgon had completely aroused his appetite by Fan Wencheng at this moment, and where did he still pay attention to the suspicion between Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, and only urged: "Mr. Fan, talk quickly and listen to this king." ”

Fan Wencheng cleared his throat and said, "Discord." ”

Dolgon is naturally no stranger to discord, since Emperor Taizu raised an army to attack the Ming, they have repeatedly separated the relationship between the Ming court and the minister.

This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and even pulled Daqing back from the edge of the cliff several times.

Although Dolgon was very proud, he also had to admit that if the Ming court and his ministers were single-minded, I am afraid that Liaodong would have been taken back long ago.

But the Han people don't trust each other in their bones. This is especially true between the monarch and the minister.

Let's just say that Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, how many years did it take to go from the initial mutual trust to the appearance of the gods?

"Mr. Fan is saying that let this king separate the relationship between the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the general of Shandong?"

The more Dorgon thought about it, the more amused it became, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad. The slave heard that the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the crown prince of Chongzhen, but he is only fifteen years old. How can he subdue the warlords of Zhuzhen? The lord is suspicious, the minister is not attached, and the people do not believe it. It's a good time to get separated. ”

Fan Wencheng said quietly: "No matter who the defender of Shandong is, his commander is outside, the little emperor will not be at ease, if there are rumors at this time, I am afraid that the little emperor himself will not be able to sit still." As a result, there was a fire in the backyard of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there was no energy to use troops against the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Qing Dynasty cleaned up Li Zicheng, wouldn't it be possible to solve a small court with a remnant of the Ming Dynasty with his hands free? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! Mr. Fan really has a million soldiers in his chest, after your planning, isn't this world already in my bag? ”
