"Duoduo, how can you be so rude, you can't be so rude to Master Fan, and you still don't retreat!"

Dolgon on the tiger head chair shouted angrily, relieving Fan Wencheng's embarrassing situation, Duoduo glared at Fan Wencheng fiercely, and then sat back in the chair angrily.

"Master Fan, this fellow has always been rude, you are a well-educated person, don't be like him." Dolgon looked at Fan Wencheng with an embarrassed expression in front of him with a kind face, and then said: "However, this king is thinking that if I really do what Hauge said, I don't even resist at all, and I grovel to negotiate with the Tang army, which is too weak, so in the negotiation, this king is only afraid that my Daqing will suffer a big loss." ”

"Oh, Weichen is shallow, he really doesn't dare to make a plan, but he doesn't know the regent's intentions, but how do he plan to act?" Fan Wencheng couldn't figure out Dorgon's true intentions, and deliberately kicked the ball back to him in a low posture.

Dolgon looked at his chief strategist with complicated eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the king's opinion, we should fight with the Tang army first, and win it on the battlefield, and frustrate the spirit of the Tang army, so that we can negotiate with the Tang army again, so that our army should be more confident and sure, take the initiative in the negotiations, and get more negotiation results for the Qing Dynasty." Instead of being like Hauge, who didn't even have the courage to fight with the Tang Army, he thought of groveling to negotiate peace with the Tang Army, and this kind of behavior is deeply ashamed of this king! ”

"The second brother is right! Grandma's, Haoge, is so cowardly and incompetent, he has really lost my national character of the Qing Dynasty and the face of my Eight Banners warriors. Second brother, you speak, let the younger brother lead the troops forward, no matter which boundary of the Tang Army is attacked, the younger brother will never say anything! Dordor was speaking loudly again.

Dolgon ignored him, and just stared straight at Fan Wencheng, who had been silent. Seeing that Fan Wencheng had been silent and unwilling to express his position, Dolgon was also very unhappy in his heart, so he asked again: "Master Fan, what is this king's opinion, and what is wrong?" You don't have to worry, but let's be honest, this king will not blame. “

Fan Wencheng sighed lightly, and in his heart he disagreed with his suggestion against Hauge, but he didn't dare to say it so bluntly when he saw Dorgon's expression. I was nervously trying to figure out what Dolgon meant by this.

What a wise man he was, and after thinking about it quickly, he immediately understood Dorgon's intentions, and asked tentatively: "Then, according to the regent's opinion, where is the boundary where is it appropriate for our army to attack the Tang army first?" ”

Dolgon snorted coldly, and immediately replied: "According to the king's opinion, when it is necessary to attack Zhenyuan Fort, which has the least number of troops of the Tang army and has no large firearms, as long as we take this place first, then for us, first, we can recover the important town of western Liaoxi and completely remove the threat from the west, and second, we can use this as a bargaining chip to show the Tang army the prestige of our Qing official army and understand the strong combat power of our army, then next, even if we really want to negotiate with the Tang army, we can also be in the negotiation, so we have a great advantage." ”

Fan Wencheng listened to Dolgon's plan, but sighed in his heart.

He knew that Dolgon's plan actually had a lot of gambling with Hauge, but now he didn't have the courage to refute him.

Because, Fan Wencheng, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, understands Dolgon's character very well. I know that he is a generous person on the outside, but he is actually very narrow on the inside.

The reason why Dorgon is so resistant to Hauge's suggestion is because if Hauge's suggestion can be passed in the court, it will invisibly greatly enhance Hauge's prestige and cause significant damage to Dolgon's personal prestige and image, so even from the perspective of personal grudges, he must not let such a thing happen.

Therefore, Fan Wencheng knew that Dolgon's intention to attack Zhenyuan Fort should have been a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time. If you want to refute it easily, Dolgon, this guy is very likely to be kind on the surface, but in the heart, he will definitely be very dissatisfied with himself, and even secretly disliked.

There is another point, that is, if the Qing army goes to attack Zhenyuan Fort, although in Fan Wencheng's opinion, the chances of victory are not great, but how to forcibly dissuade him, I am afraid that Dolgon will be more suspicious, and even wonder if he has been secretly co-opted by Haoge.

Alas, the situation of myself caught in the middle is really too difficult.

After careful consideration, Fan Wencheng finally said in a deep voice: "Regent, your idea is also reasonable. Although the Tang army is strong, it is not without flaws, and the town of Yuanbao has insufficient troops and limited firearms, which is indeed the best breakthrough for our Qing Dynasty. It's just that Weichen is worried that the Tang army is holding on to the city, and it is waiting for work, if I want to take this heavy fort in western Liaoning, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”

"Hmph, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Encore is so timid." Dolgon was really dissatisfied with Fan Wencheng's concerns, he sneered and said: "On that day, the Tang army came from afar to sneak attack, and our town was caught off guard, so it was taken by chance, but now our army has been enduring for several months, and then attacking it, it can also catch them off guard. ”

Fan Wencheng heard that Dolgon had made up his mind, and knew in his heart that he couldn't say any more rebuttals, so he immediately disembarked from the donkey: "The regent is right, if our army is well prepared and launches a surprise attack on the Tang army, the Tang army in Zhenyuan Fort is indeed very likely to be caught off guard. If we can really take this fort, then whether our army continues to attack Haicheng or Yingkou in the future, or uses the power of this battle to negotiate with the Tang army, it will be of great advantage, and this is also the situation that Weichen wants to see. ”

"Ahem! Second brother, you don't know what nonsense you are talking about. You give the order, let the younger brother lead the troops to attack this Zhenyuan Fort, if you don't completely take the Zhenyuan Fort, the younger brother is willing to come to see you. Duoduo on the side interjected impatiently.

Dolgon was relieved to see that both of them agreed. He sighed softly and said to Dórd, "Don't worry, you have to fight this battle." Although the king has made up his mind, he still has to go through a process with the emperor and the queen mother before he can act, and you will listen to the order when the time comes. If you can really take Zhenyuan Fort by then, this great merit, this king will personally ask the emperor for your credit, and he will never treat you badly. Okay, you two, stand down first. “

Dordor was overjoyed and bowed down to Dorgon. Then, with Fan Wencheng with a worried face, he went out of the hall together.

After the two of them retreated, Dolgon regained his thoughts in the hall and went to see the Mother of Blessings, now the Queen Mother of the Virgin, Bumu Butai.

This person's surname is Borzigit, and his name is Bumu Butai (also known as Ben Butai, which means "noble man from heaven"), the second daughter of Belzigit Buhe of the Mongolian Korqin Department, the niece of Empress Xiaoduanwen, and the sister of Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan.

She was born on the eighth day of the second month of the 41st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1613), and married the eighth prince of Nurhachi, Emperor Taiji, in the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1625). In the first year of Chongde (1636), Huang Taiji was proclaimed emperor in Shengjing and was named Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace. Chongde was born in the third year of the emperor's ninth son, Fulin.

In the seventh year of Chongde (1643), Huang Taiji, who was seriously injured by the Tang army, was killed by Dolgon himself in Fushun. The mother and son hid in the palace, eating and drinking very sparingly every day, and often hugged each other and cried when they thought of the tragic prospects of the future.

Finally, Hauge and Dolgon made peace, and finally jointly supported his son Fulin to ascend the throne, and respected the two palaces with his aunt Xiaoduanwen, and called the Queen Mother. At this point, the fate of the mother and son has changed greatly, and they have suddenly changed from a precarious state of breaking down to the Qing Emperor surrounded by tens of thousands of people, such a change can be called bizarre.

Bumu Butai knew that his son could become the emperor because of Dorgon's efforts, so she had already secretly had a leg with Dolgon, and she was quite grateful to Dolgon, and she could even say that she obeyed her words.

Therefore, when she heard the news of Dorgon's late-night visit, Bumu Butai, who was about to rest in the palace, was very happy, and she quickly withdrew her maid and came alone to see her lover and greatest pillar.

As soon as Dorgon entered her bedchamber, she let out a sweet cry of joy like a maiden in spring, flew deep into the chamber like a bird, and threw herself into the arms of her lover.

The dry firewood was like glue and paint, and the two of them embraced each other, and after a little passion, they whispered to each other on the bed.

"Dolgon, have you really thought about sending 50,000 troops to attack Zhenyuan Fort?" Bumu Butai's head rested on Dolgon's strong arm, and the sweat beaded on his pretty face, which was still flushed.

"Yes, this king has made up his mind, and he is determined to have a showdown with the Tang army, and he will definitely be ashamed of his previous consecutive defeats!" Dolgon, whose hair was disheveled, flashed a trace of ruthlessness on his face: "If you really want to be as Hauge said, you don't even have the courage to fight against the Tang Army, and you just want to bend your knees and sue for peace, so as to survive, then my Daqing Dynasty is not like a bird with the incompetent and weak Ming Dynasty!" Besides, if I have 50,000 elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and carry heavy artillery, how can I not even take a small Liaoxi Town Fort Far Fort! This king really can't swallow this breath! ”

"Then what are you going to do after fighting Zhenyuan Fort? Do you want to drive away all the Tang troops in Haicheng and Yingkou? Bumu Butai asked.

Dolgon's face was grim, but he shook his head slightly.

"No, even if the Qing Dynasty takes the Yuanbao of Liaoxi Town, after all, the national strength has been greatly damaged, and the national strength and finances are difficult to support the next step to continue the war. If you want to take advantage of this victory, it is really not easy to take Haicheng and Yingkou, which are guarded by the main force of the Tang army. It is still necessary to take this as a condition, and after demonstrating the national strength and military prestige of our Qing Dynasty, it is more realistic to hold peace talks with the Tang Army. “

"Do you also have the intention of fighting with Haoge, and at the same time attacking Haoge's arrogance and prestige?" Bumu Butai threw out a sentence coldly.

Seeing his lover so keenly observant, Dolgon's heart trembled, and his face changed, and for a moment, he felt that the woman in his arms had a feeling that the golden scales were in the pool.

Can this extremely scheming woman really be controlled by herself for a long time?

He coughed lightly to hide his gaffe, then nodded and said, "This king won't tell you anything, he does have this intention." Although Haorge made peace with this king and jointly supported the emperor, this person has repeatedly opposed this king in the court, which is really hateful! Sooner or later, this king will expel this person from the court, and even trample on the soles of his feet, so as to relieve my hatred! ”

"Dolgon, there's only one thing I'm worried about." Bu Mu Butai turned around: "You haven't thought that if this western expedition is unfavorable, it will be a major blow to your own prestige."

"Impossible, this expedition, our army is well prepared, the strength is sufficient, and there is a large number of artillery to help, and this king will send Prince Yu Duoduo as the commander, and there is no reason for failure."

"I mean, in case ......"

Dolgon's face was gloomy, and then a grim cold color flashed: "Even if people are not as good as heaven, in case it is really unfavorable, this king has his own way to put the crime on Hauge's head, so that he can not only cover up the king's crimes, but also imprison Hauge's gang, why not do such a thing." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, Dolgon. After all, Hauge is now the regent of the left, and his subordinates are also very large, if you act rashly, if you act rashly, it will not be beautiful. Bu Mu Butai said in a low voice with a worried face.

Dolgon sneered: "You are right, it's just that even if the king doesn't trouble him on this expedition, there will be other means to clean him up in the future." Don't worry, I won't be so stupid to do it with him, I can always find a way to clean up this guy, and when the time comes, you can see the king's means. ”

The two of them agreed to finish, but they were soft and gentle again, lingering, and happy.

At this time, in the living room of Prince Su's mansion, the lights were also bright, and Haoge and Sony were also talking at night.

"Sony, you're completely wrong in that estimate." Hauge sighed and said, "Dolgon, oil and salt don't enter, how ignorant of the times!" This fang is deeply jealous and hated this king, in order to suppress me and prevent this king from gaining more prestige in the court, but ignoring the reality that my Qing Dynasty is now weak and the army is depressed, he will definitely send troops to fight against the Tang army, and his heart can be punished! “

Seeing Hauge so angry, Sony sneered again and again.

"Prince Su, you need to be angry in a hurry, Dolgon wants to die, let him go. Let's just sit back and watch the defeat, so why bother. “

"Alas, that's what I said, but after all, this king is the left regent of the Qing Dynasty, and he is also the head of the Qing Dynasty. I only hate the limited power in this dynasty, otherwise, I will be determined to be discerned in front of the emperor, and I will never let this guy send troops forward. Hauge looked worried.

When Sonny heard this, he shook his head: "Prince Su, according to the minion, maybe now, Dolgon, I'm afraid that he has already decided to go on the expedition, and has already asked the Queen Mother for a decision." “
