Chapter 481: Dolgon is shaken
Dorgon issued an order to search the Haug remnants throughout the city.
The search was strict and extensive, and was based on the principle that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.
Many of those who had only had one or two contacts with Hauge were also arrested and imprisoned and executed without trial.
For a time, there was a river of blood in the city of Beijing, which made people panic.
In charge of the arrest was Dord. He was already cold by nature, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Many people who were not members of Hauge's party but who did not agree with the politics of the Dorgon brothers were also arrested.
Things are getting bigger and bigger, but no one dares to stand up and say a word.
Dai Shan was silent, and Zilharang was silent. Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang naturally did not speak out. Everyone seems to be consciously or unconsciously conniving at the Dolgon brothers' rampage, and a white terror pervades the city of Beijing.
The nobles of the Eight Banners became increasingly dissatisfied with the Dolgon brothers, but because of their power, they dared not speak out.
Fan Wencheng was worried.
He hadn't thought things would make such a big fuss.
The current situation is beyond human control.
However, if it is allowed to develop, Fan Wencheng is really worried that it will cause the Manchus to drift away from morality.
When the old Khan and the first emperor were there, the cohesion of the Eight Banners was the strongest, but when Dolgon came to the throne, so many contradictions broke out. In the end, it was Dorgon's personal ability to suppress everyone.
But the Qing court always needs a leader, and the dwarf general Dolgon is already good.
If it is replaced by Hauge, I'm afraid the situation will get even more out of control, right?
Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but sigh.
If the first emperor and Huang Taiji are still there, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty has already ruled the world, how can there be so much trouble now.
In the midst of his melancholy, a descendant suddenly reported that the regent had asked him to go to the palace.
Fan Wencheng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a carriage and rush to the regent palace.
After arriving at the Regent's Mansion, Fan Wencheng cautiously followed the chamberlain into the Yimen.
Now the regent is not in a very good mood, so Fan Wencheng is very careful with him.
All the way through the courtyard, Fan Wencheng was led to Dolgon's dormitory.
The chamberlain went to report, and Fan Wencheng stood quietly in front of the dormitory, thinking about how to persuade Dorgon for a while.
After a moment of work, the waiter went and returned, and asked Fan Wencheng to meet him.
Fan Wencheng shook his robe, took a deep breath, and took steps into the dormitory.
As soon as he entered the hall, Fan Wencheng smelled a strong smell of decoction. The smell is very strong and gives a feeling of twilight.
Fan Wencheng frowned, but still walked inward.
Dorgon was now lying in bed with his eyes closed. After Fan Wencheng saw Dolgon, he immediately pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to bow down.
"Servant Fan Wencheng greets the regent."
Dolgon opened his eyes, raised his hand and said weakly, "Mr. Fan, please get up." ”
Fan Wencheng stood cautiously and stood with his hands at his side waiting for Dorgon's inquiry.
"Mr. Fan, do you know why this king summoned you?"
"The minions don't know."
"Zheng Zhilong, that waste is defeated."
Dolgon said quietly: "This king has just received a report that Zheng Zhilong was defeated in the battle of Jiangxi, and the main force has returned to Fujian. It seems that he can't hold on for long, and this person can't be relied on......"
Fan Wencheng was shocked.
Zheng Zhilong was defeated so quickly.
Dorgon let out a long sigh and said, "This is really a bad year. First Wu Sangui, then Zheng Zhilong. The two of them were defeated one after the other, is it true that I am not able to conquer the south? ”
Seeing Dolgon's appearance, Fan Wencheng hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the regent, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. King Pingxi and Zheng Zhilong just suffered a defeat, and they will fight back in the future. ”
Dolgon also knew that Fan Wencheng was probably comforting him when he said this, so he smiled and said, "If this is really the case, this king will also be at ease." ”
Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Regent, there is something that the slave doesn't know whether to talk about or not. ”
Dolgon stared at Fan Wencheng with a cold expression and said, "What Mr. Fan wants to say is related to Prince Su's rebellion?" ”
Fan Wencheng had no choice but to nod and say, "The regent is wise." It is not appropriate to implicate too many people in this matter. Now the people in Beijing are panicking, and they are worried that they will be implicated in this matter. In the long run, who else dares to speak out. ”
Fan Wencheng said this, but Dolgon shook his head.
"Mr. Fan thinks this king wants to do this? But if this matter is not dealt with strictly, what prestige will this king have in the future to convince the public? ”
Dolgon paused, and then continued: "Take this opportunity to wipe out the remnants of Hauge, and this king will have no worries in the future." ”
Fan Wencheng knew that Dolgon would not listen to the advice, so he was no longer reluctant.
"This king called Mr. Fan to hear your opinion, and now I have a clear clear of what to do."
"Why did the prince say this?"
Fan Wencheng asked with some doubts: "I have the favor of heaven, and I will be able to dominate the world, how can I come and go." ”
"With Zheng Zhilong, there is still some confidence in this king, after all, he can transport grain to the north by sea. But if Zheng Zhilong falls, who will deliver food to this king? These hundreds of thousands of troops in the north have no food to eat, and they all have to starve to death? ”
Dolgon said helplessly: "If you go back to the outside of the gate, will the situation be better?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng was completely shocked.
The regent would have such a terrible thought.
"Lord Wang, this move must not be done."
After the remnants of Fen III, the Manchu Eight Banners finally entered the customs and controlled Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Beizhili and other places. Now the regent wants to give up all this he has gained, and takes the initiative to retreat outside the gate. What exactly does this mean?
"This king just asked casually."
Dolgon's hands pressed down, signaling Fan Wencheng not to be anxious.
"Mr. Fan thinks that if he does not withdraw to the Guanwai, how should the matter of military rations be resolved?"
Fan Wencheng also knows that the food problem is a big problem. However, he had recently learned from the Qing court's dispatch to Shandong that the Ming people seemed to have cultivated a crop in Shandong with extremely high yields. If it can be introduced to the north, it may have a miraculous effect.
"Lord Wang, the slave heard that people have planted a crop called potatoes in Shandong, the yield is several times that of ordinary wheat and rice, and it is extremely cold and drought resistant.
Dolgon asked with some suspicion, "The king has heard of this thing about potatoes, but is it really that mysterious?" What's more, this king heard the Han people often say that oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei. Could it be the same with this potato? ”
Fan Wencheng sighed and said, "This minion doesn't dare to guarantee it. But if you don't try, how do you know if it works? ”
