When I saw Dolgon's sudden anger, I was so shocked that I fell to my knees and trembled, not daring to look up.

Dolgon's anger did not subside, and he continued to reprimand: "Now in the Qing Dynasty, except for Haoge, a handful of bastards who don't know the times and fight with the sky, who else dares to disobey this king!" Although there is a slight setback in the struggle between our army and the Tang army, after all, there is a reason for the incident, and it has not hurt the fundamentals. What's more, the Tang army's victories in these few times were mostly due to surprise attacks, and our army suffered big losses when it was caught off guard, so that it lost cities and land in succession. But there is a way that the coming day is long, how can it be a short time. After our side regained its strength, it was not yet known what the final result would be when it competed with the Tang Army. If you wait for such a statement, you are really losing our anger and increasing the prestige of the other party. ”

Dorgon said this, already with an angry face. Ning Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his head deeply, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing that Ning finished confessing my sins on the ground, Dorgon wanted to say more reprimands, but finally let out a long sigh and did not continue.

It's just that after Dolgon sat back in the tiger skin chair, Fan Wencheng next to him still looked worried and solemn, he looked at Dolgon's face a little softened, but he interjected from the side in a low voice: "What the regent said is also reasonable. We occupy the majority of the Qing Dynasty, and we do have a big advantage, so we should not be arrogant. It's just that the current situation is indeed deteriorating, and we still can't be too optimistic. In my humble opinion, the combined forces of the Tang Army and Haoge may be far stronger than we expected, and they really cannot be underestimated. If the Lord Regent grants it, please listen to the details below. ”

Dolgon's eyes widened and looked directly at Fan Wencheng's face, he snorted coldly, but only did not speak.

Fan Wencheng was also very embarrassed when he saw that Dolgon didn't say anything, but now that the words had been spoken, he still wanted to finish his words.

"Regent, please listen to the next word, the current power of our army, if only compared with Hauge, whether it is military strength or vacancies, is far above it. Although there may be twists and turns in the capture of Hauge and others, it is not difficult to finally solve and eliminate them. It's just that because of Li Xiao's Tang Army, this huge variable is mixed in, and the change in this matter has changed from a two-party contest to a three-way game, and the situation is too complicated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is far beyond our control. ”

Dorgon still didn't speak, but his face was horribly gloomy. Obviously, Fan Wencheng's words touched him quite a bit, and he was waiting for Fan Wencheng to continue.

Fan Wencheng sighed lightly and continued: "Regent, I understand your intentions. You must be thinking that after the spring thaws, you will personally lead the army to fight to the death with Li Xiao's Tang army. In order to use the superior strength of our army to drive all these invaders out of our Qing territory. It's just that what the minister wants to say is that the Tang army's arrival this time was by no means impulsive, but a well-planned invasion. The tens of thousands of elites who attacked our Qing Dynasty were all veterans who had been in battle for a long time, and how could our army easily defeat them. What's more, during this period of heavy snow and road closure, after these months of hard work, they will definitely improve the operation of Haicheng, Yingkou, Zhenyuanbao and other places, and the defense of various places will be very tight, if our army wants to attack, even if it can win, I am afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price. What worries me the most is that when our army is fighting for the life with the Tang army, Haoge is making great progress in Shengjing City, and even sends troops to attack the Tang army in two places. However, the Tang Army and Haoge can wait for their work and sit on the fortified city, and their losses will be far less than ours, in this case, the war situation will inevitably drag on for a long time, and the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty will continue to erode and deteriorate, and if this is the case, the future prospects of our army are really not very optimistic. Therefore, although our army now has a great advantage, in this headless offensive operation, the morale of the army will continue to decline, and eventually its strength will be greatly damaged, and the national situation of the Qing Dynasty should also take a sharp turn for the worse. “

When Fan Wencheng said this, he sighed with a helpless and heartbroken look.

Dolgon's face became more and more ugly, but in his heart, he still had to admit that what Fan Wencheng said still made some sense.

Now I seem to have a big family and a big business, and I have the upper hand, but the real situation may be even more unbearable than what Fan Wencheng said. This war has been fought like this, and the situation is definitely not optimistic, even if it will come from the coalition army that has exhausted all their efforts and defeated Haoge and Li Xiao by luck, I am afraid that it will end in a miserable victory. And the Qing Empire, which was originally in full swing, will inevitably decline in the middle of the road, and its national strength will fall greatly, and perhaps at that time, the war-torn Qing Empire will be the same as the Ming Dynasty that is about to die, involuntarily but helplessly going to the garbage heap of history.

In addition to this, there is an even more terrible situation. That is, although Dolgon tried his best to eliminate the Hauge who was fighting against him and the Tang army that came from the expedition, Li Xiao, who now occupies most of the territory of Shandong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Northeast Asia, has an amazing ability to recover.

If it really comes to such the darkest moment, not only will the Qing Empire finally come to an end, but for himself, not only will his rights and status be lost, but his life will also be worried.

Thinking of this, Dolgon's face welled up with pain, and he let out a long sigh and clenched his fists secretly.

It's just that I really have the only way to negotiate peace with Hauge?

In the final analysis, in Dolgon's view, although the current situation is not optimistic, if he really wants to give up his existing advantages and negotiate with Haoge, who can only defend himself according to Shengjing, this is too cheap, too low, and he is afraid that he will lose the face of the regent.

What's more, the power of the Heavenly Constitution, the supreme position, has always been firmly in the hands of one person, how can there be a reason to share it with others.

Taking another 10,000 steps back, if you really do this, who can guarantee that the power and status you have gained so hard will not fall from this power?

Dolgon's face was complex and painful, and he couldn't say these words to anyone, hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

Kings are always lonely, not because they were born like this, but once they are in this position, they can no longer find anyone to talk to.

Fan Wencheng checked his face, saw Dolgon's expression, and saw that he had been silent, knowing that his heart was actually quite fluctuating, but because of his status and face, he couldn't say his inner words.

Fan Wencheng is such a smart person, of course, he knows in his heart what Dolgon is most worried about.

It's nothing more than the power and status he has gained with all his efforts and means.

These things, I guess Dolgon's eyes are more important than his own life. One thing that can be assured is that if power and status are threatened, Dolgon will not hesitate to fight to the death with anyone, even if the entire Qing Empire is buried with him.

"Regent, in fact, according to the below, in fact, you don't have to worry at all, if you really negotiate peace with Hauge, you can be sure that we will still occupy an absolute dominant position, and we will never let the power fall to others."

Fan Wencheng's voice was very low, but it made Dolgon's heart move.

"What did you say?" Dolgon asked in a deep voice, a sharp cold light flashed from his eyes, and he obviously heard Fan Wencheng's voice.

"What I want to say next is that if the regent really wants to negotiate peace with Hauge, we will also firmly grasp the initiative and firmly control the general trend of the country. In order to solve the dilemma internally, block the strong outside, and finally realize the unification of the Qing Dynasty and the eternal solidity of the country. And that Haoge, in the end, will just be a bamboo basket for nothing, and will not get anything, but will only be completely squeezed out of the court by us. ”

"Oh, Xian Dou's lofty arguments, this king should listen carefully." Dolgon was interested, and turned his head and shouted, "Master Ning, don't kneel, and get up and talk." ”

“！ Xie Regent. "If I am amnesty, I will immediately get up and stand aside.

Fan Wencheng took a light breath and continued: "The regent, both Xia and Gongfu believe that although the current situation is difficult, the general trend is still firmly in the hands of the regent. The officials and officials of the Qing Dynasty and the military and soldiers also admired the prestige and resourcefulness of the regent. Therefore, with this condition as a basis, we have absolute confidence in the negotiation with Hauge, and it can be said that we are invincible in the first place. “

As soon as Fan Wencheng's voice landed, Ning Wan and I also echoed on the side: "That's right." Now our army is in charge of the four borders of the Qing Dynasty, and there are Mongolian departments and the eight banners of the Han army to help, and Haoge only has one place in Shengjing, compared with the two, our advantages are great, and it can be judged at a glance. Therefore, if our army sends a representative to negotiate with Hauge, whether it is real strength or psychological advantage, it will be a huge advantage, which can have an oppressive impact on Hauge, so as to provide good help for our army in negotiations. “

"Since our advantage is so huge, and the difference between our strength and Haoge is so huge, then Haoge is not a fool, how can we suffer this dark loss? What's more, now that he has the Tang Army as his help, how can he agree to negotiate peace talks with our army? Dorgon was relieved, but still hesitant.

Fan Wencheng smiled slightly and replied: "Regent, do you think that the alliance between Haoge and the Tang Army is unbreakable?" No, the reason why they were able to get along was just because they were forced too much by us some time ago, and in order to protect themselves, they had to unite with the Tang Army in order to fight against us. To put it bluntly, it's just a momentary need to huddle together for warmth. How can they survive such an alliance that seems to be strong on the surface, but in fact they have their own ghosts and suspicions? “

Xian Dou said this, the alliance between Hauge and the Tang Army has fundamental contradictions and conflicts, and it is difficult to get together for a long time. The two of them were able to get along, but it was because our advantage was too great, and in order to protect himself, Haoge had to ignore the blood feud of the Tang army that killed the first emperor, and turned the enemy into friends with the Tang army, the sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and joined forces to fight against our army, which is also a sigh to think about. Therefore, the two of us believe that if the Tang army of Haoge and Li Xiao can be combined because of the benefits, then they will be dispersed by the benefits, which is an inevitable thing. Ning Wan's eyes lit up and he interjected aloud on the side.

This analysis of the two is also reasonable. Have you ever considered the conditions on which it would be appropriate to negotiate with Hauge? In other words, what do you think we have to set in order to finally impress Hauge? Dolgon nodded, and asked in a low voice to Fan Wencheng.

Seeing Dolgon's question, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan knew that his heart had moved, and they were not happy in their hearts. The two looked at each other, then knelt on the ground and bowed their hands.

"Regent, I have thought about it for a while, and I think that there is a best plan for peace talks, which should be carried out. If this plan is proposed, Hauge will not refuse. "I'll be the first to say.

"Oh, but it's a peace talk strategy." Dorgon blinked, looking interested.

"The two kings support the emperor!" Fan Wencheng replied word by word.

"What? Two kings support the emperor?! Dolgon's eyes widened instantly.

"That's right, it's the strategy of the two kings to support the emperor. Regent, such a plan is the result of our hard work, and it is absolutely feasible. Fan Wencheng's eyes were shining, and he said in a deep voice: "The method of implementing this plan is to first propose it to Haoge by the regent, but in fact, he misunderstood, he has no intention of competing for the throne at all, and he can become the regent, and his wish is enough." The previous measures were just emergency measures to clean up people's hearts. It's just that such measures are too manipulative, and the first emperor is tyrannical, so that Haoge misunderstood, and in the end, the Qing Empire fought in the same room and attacked each other, but in the end the enemy benefited. “

"What do you mean, you're going to ......," Dorgon said, pausing deliberately.

Fan Wencheng was thinking about how to organize the wording, but Ning Wan on the side couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly interjected: "Regent, the two of us have discussed, if you want to impress Haoge and make him agree to peace talks with us, there are two key points. The first is to set up a new emperor, and in this way, the regent, you make a gesture that you really do not want to seek the throne, and the second is to ensure Haoge's official title, status, and wealth, so that Haoge can rest assured that he is willing to lift his guard and start peace talks with our army. Only by doing these two things can this peace talks proceed smoothly and finally negotiate a result that is acceptable to everyone together with Hauge. “

When Dorgon heard this, he also understood in his heart how their so-called peace talks were going to be carried out and what preparations were made.

What a pity! It's a pity that I have worked hard and calculated, but in the end I still can't do it in one step, and I can't realize the dream of ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme for many years, and finally I have to move in a curve, by setting up a puppet emperor first, and then controlling the entire Qing political situation behind my back, this method can be regarded as a rather helpless compromise.

As for giving Hauge a suitable official and his subordinates to protect his property, Dolgon did not particularly attach great importance to it, because he knew that a person with great ambition and talent, courage and no strategy, even if he could start to be equal to himself in the court in the future, would eventually be squeezed out by his wise and resourceful self by various means, and finally bring this guy to death.

Therefore, the crux of the matter now is that the most important thing is to choose which of Huang Taiji's heirs to inherit the throne and become a pawn controlled by himself.

So, Huang Taiji has many heirs, but who should he choose?

"So, in your opinion, which son of the first emperor should be appointed as the emperor, and it is appropriate?" Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng and asked seemingly nonchalantly.
