Wu Sangui was defeated and left Henan, and the news reached Beijing, and Dolgon was furious, and in a fit of anger, he vomited blood and fainted.

It took a lot of effort to get the regent awake.

But though Dorgon was awake, his spirit was sluggish.

Before Wu Sangui attacked Huguang, he swore an oath and patted his chest to promise that he would return victoriously.

The result?

Jingmen fiasco, Yunyang fiasco, and the face of the Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry were lost.

Wu Sangui also brazenly said that these two battles were small routs, and he wanted to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things.

This is the minister he values?

Dog minion!

Dorgon gasped for air, as if he couldn't breathe without that.

If only a few defeats weren't enough to make Dorgon so angry. The point is that the Qing army has been defeated again and again.

Long-term defeat damages not only hard power, but also confidence.

Isn't the Qing army most proud of its nearly crushing record against the southerners?

But unconsciously, this record has changed since last year. If you simply look at the records of the two sides in the past two years, the Qing army is even at a disadvantage.

This was unthinkable in the past.

During the reign of Huang Taiji, the Qing army did not say that the Ming army was nine out of ten, but there was no problem in winning seven or eight of the ten battles.

Now that Dolgon is the regent, the Qing army has lost again and again against his defeated generals, and it is difficult not to think that this is the problem of the rulers.

The puppet little emperor Shunzhi is still young, and of course he will not take responsibility. Then the responsibility naturally rests with the tall man Dorgon.

Then again, Dolgon's own foreign strategy is problematic. This strategy of all-out expansion is good if it is good if it is tailwind, but it will get out of control once it is against the wind.

Dorgon feared that his prestige would suffer.

After all, there is still a Haoge in the DPRK and China.

In the past two years, although Hauge has no sense of existence, he has secretly made many small moves.

According to Dolgon's informants, Hauge has been secretly courting Prince Baylor. Among them, Dai Shan is the first.

Dolgon didn't have much to do about it. After all, without real evidence, he can't attack the respected Dai Shan.

As for the other princes, Baylor, and Beizi are also more or less related to Hauge.

In this case, Dorgon was in great danger. Once Hauge takes the opportunity to attack, how will he respond?

The Manchurian warriors only worship the strong, and the weak will not receive pity and sympathy.

At the beginning, Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne was a model for the four major Baylors to jointly discuss politics.

Huang Taiji felt constrained, so he thought about gradually weakening the role of the four major Baylors.

But to do so, you have to have enough prestige.

So Huang Taiji proposed a strategy to seize the west.

The so-called robbery of the west is to plunder in the Ming Dynasty.

Not enough money to spend? Go grab it.

Don't have enough food to eat? Go grab it.

Women don't sleep enough? Go grab it.

Not enough minions? Go grab it.

The Manchurians grabbed the west in a tribal style. Except for the old man and the woman, all Ding Zhuang gathered in the way of Niu Lu, and then slaughtered to the border.

There will always be broken sections of the Great Wall, from which you can invade and loot at will, and life is like a fairy.

Every time the Eight Banners warriors grabbed the west, they made a lot of money, and Huang Taiji's prestige also rose.

Unconsciously, Huang Taiji's prestige was already higher than that of Dai Shan and others, and he was able to reform the Niu Lu system calmly and complete the centralization of power.

It can be said that the status of Huang Taiji has improved with the victory again and again.

And now Dorgon is the opposite.

Not only can he not go any further, but it has become difficult for him to even keep the position of regent.

Hauge, that dog, will not let go of this great opportunity.

All Dorgon had to do now was think about how to avoid it.

"Come on, go and ask Fan Wencheng to come to see me."

After thinking about it, Dolgon still felt that Fan Wencheng had a lot of ideas. At this time, you still have to use Han people.

He shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes.

After touching a cup of tea, Fan Wencheng hurried over.

He came to Dorgon's bed, fell on his knees, and bowed his head.

"Servant Fan Wencheng greets the regent."

"Mr. Fan, hurry up."

Dolgon raised his right hand weakly, and said with a miserable smile: "Wu Sangui lost the battle and is now resting in Henan. The king thought that someone in the court and China would take the opportunity to make trouble, and specially invited Mr. Fan to discuss countermeasures. ”

How Fan Wencheng didn't know who the person Dolgon was referring to.

The Qing court was aware of the contradictions between Dorgon and Hauge.

The fight between the two for the throne is like fire and water.

Although in the end, the two sides compromised and supported Shunzhi's accession to the throne, and the relationship was relaxed on the surface. But secretly, the two sides regard each other as direct competitors.

Dolgon is on the lookout for Hauge, and isn't Haug on the lookout for Dolgon?

In fact, it doesn't matter who sits on that chair for Fan Wencheng, as long as it is someone from the Xinjueluo family.

The crux of the matter is that Dorgon doesn't see it that way.

Haug does not get rid of Dolgon for a day, and he cannot be at ease for a day. The Qing Dynasty was forever in internal friction.

During the period of solitary confinement, Fan Wencheng also figured out the problem.

If you want to help the Qing Dynasty stabilize the world, you must resolutely support one person.

In the end, Fan Wencheng chose Dolgon.

First, Dolgon is in power, and he has soldiers and the right to speak.

Second, Dolgon is also a better fit for this position than Hauge.

After all, Dolgon still has some city governments, although it is much worse than Huang Taiji, but it is still a cut above Hauge.

For the sake of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years, and for the glory of the Aixin Jueluo family, Haoge can only be sacrificed.

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng said ruthlessly: "The prince doesn't have to worry. Hauge has courage and no strategy, and it is difficult to achieve great things. If he doesn't come out this time, he will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Dorgon was stunned.

Fan Wencheng actually said Hauge's name directly.

Does this mean that he has openly sided with himself?

Thinking of this, a warmth rose in Dorgon's heart, and he smiled happily: "Mr. Fan can think like this, this king is very pleased. ”

"Lord, the slave has a plan to lure the snake out of the hole."

Fan Wencheng said quietly.

"Oh? Mr. Fan, you might as well talk about it. ”

Dolgon was also interested, and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Lord, so..."

He whispered for a moment, and Dorgon listened.

"It's a really good idea. Or Mr. Fan has a lot of ideas. ”

He let out a long breath of turbidity, feeling much better.

"If Haoge can be eradicated in one fell swoop, this king will definitely integrate the elite of the Eight Banners and help the Qing Dynasty to determine the world."

Dorgon said this with great vigour.

If you can really be blessed by this matter, Wu Sangui's defeats will be valuable.
