Chapter 611: How to talk if you don't fight

"Hauge! Your ridiculous words are simply ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Dolgon's face turned red, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he shouted: "Haoge, this king was caught off guard that day, so that the Tang army was lucky to sneak attack, how can you be so unbearable?" Regardless of the past, why do you say that you want to drive the Tang army away from my Qing Dynasty, there is only one way to negotiate peace with the Tang Army, as the right regent of the Qing Dynasty, what is your intention to say such self-mourning and self-deprecation! ”

Seeing that Dorgon was angry and angry, Hauge sneered, he snorted and continued: "Prince Rui is so arrogant, why don't you show it on the battlefield? If Prince Rui could keep the Tang army out of the country and prevent them from occupying Yingkou, Haicheng and Zhenyuan Fort, then the king would really think highly of you. Now, what is the use of saying such righteousness and righteousness with this king? According to this king, I am afraid that it is more of a will. Do you really think that my Qing Dynasty is now so sluggish and the army is so sluggish, and I can fight against the brave and fierce Tang Army, isn't it a joke? Thinking about the battle of Vladivostok, the first emperor poured the country's elite soldiers, drove the expedition in person, and fought hard with the Tang army for nearly a month, but could not conquer this small Vladivostok fort, but lost his army, the first emperor himself was finally lost because of this battle, this lesson, how painful! Now that I have suffered a great setback, lost my division and lost my land, the morale of the whole army is low, and there are many war-weary people, what confidence do you have to drive away all the Tang troops who are waiting for work and firmly holding Yingkou, Haicheng, and Zhenhaibao in Liaoxi? ”

Hauge's words, in a stern tone, with a gun and a stick, made Dolgon's face embarrassed and annoyed, but it was not easy to attack.

Dolgon gritted his teeth and groaned, then replied: "Hauge, have you ever thought that if I really put down my body like this, I wouldn't even have the courage to fight with the Tang Army again, so I went to negotiate with the Tang Army almost pleadingly, not to mention how to lower my own name, in terms of the negotiation situation alone, how unfavorable it is!" What this king can be sure of is that in such a situation, even if the Tang army is willing to negotiate, it will definitely despise us more and more, and will definitely put forward more and more conditions. Besides, how can you and me, as the regents of the Qing Dynasty, do such things that damage our reputation and humiliate the country, and if we really do this, how should we face the fierce mouths of thousands of subjects in the entire Qing Empire? Haven't you considered all this? ”

Before Dorgon could catch his breath after speaking in pain, Hauge snorted coldly and replied, "Dolgon, of course this king knows what you said. In the future, the negotiations with the Tang Army will certainly be very difficult, and it is very likely that in the course of the negotiations, we will have to lose some of our country's inherent rights and interests, and this should be a helpless and extremely unavoidable thing. “

Haugton lowered again, with a heavy expression on his face: "However, what this king wants to say is that since we are the ministers of the country, we should put national affairs first in everything, how can we blindly care about personal honor and disgrace and rights and interests. This king has always thought that what we have to do now is not to blindly talk about it, but to face the reality and never act rashly! If we really ignore the current weak status quo of our country, we must compete with the Tang army and kill you on the battlefield, this king is only afraid, we are not only very likely to lose on the battlefield, but also more likely to have to make peace with the Tang army again in the case of losing troops and losing generals. Under such conditions of defeat and defeat, even if the Tang army is willing to negotiate with us again, the conditions will be quite harsh, and it is very likely that the conditions that can be reached are much harsher than those that can be reached now. ”

Hauge's stern rhetorical question made Dorgon stunned for a moment.

He secretly hated in his heart, it seems that Haoge is here today, this guy has been prepared for a long time, and he must persuade himself not to fight with the Tang army, but can only have so-called peace negotiations with the Tang army.

It's a pity that he was negligent for a while, and he was so angry by this prepared guy that he lost his normality, and his response was quite inappropriate, so that he fell behind in front of this person.

It's just that Hauge's words seem to have some truth, but Dorgon knows that he must not agree to Hauge's conditions. Because there is one of the most serious problems that makes Dorgon the most taboo.

That is, he must not easily allow Hauge to gain the upper hand, so as to increase his prestige and popularity, and thus gain the upper hand in the court struggle, which the arrogant Dolgon could never tolerate.

What's more, Dolgon objected from his heart that when the Tang army had already occupied a large part of the Qing Dynasty, he didn't even make a counterattack, and thought of groveling and begging the Tang army to negotiate, this kind of cowardly and incompetent behavior, if it was really carried out, would be a shame that the Qing Empire could not wash away!

Therefore, Dorgon made up his mind to argue with Hauge to the end, and this guy's opinion must not succeed.

Dolgon's expression was distorted with anger, and after a moment's thought, he replied sharply, "Hauge, what you say now is only your words. The Tang army is not a heavenly general, how can it be that before we fight, it will definitely win, and we will definitely lose? The defeat of Vladivostok, if really analyzed, is really not a crime of war, but a lot of luck. If the Tang army hadn't happened to seriously injure the first emperor, I am afraid that this city would have been successfully taken by my 100,000 troops. All the current history will have been rewritten long ago, how can it be such a decadent appearance! ”

Dorgon paused, and then continued: "Hauge, what is the real evidence of your negative and self-degrading views, can you not predict whether you will be able to predict or not? How can you conclude that our Qing Dynasty no longer has the strength to fight, and can no longer win the battle with the Tang army? Taking a step back, the Tang Army's expedition to this place is not monolithic, so there is no gap to take advantage of. The Tang army that has now invaded the territory of our Qing Dynasty is not all in one place, but can be roughly divided into two parts: southern Liaoning and western Liaoning, of which the Tang army in southern Liaoning is its main force, commanded by Li Xiaona, this Tang army is relatively strong, and it is indeed not easy for our army to completely defeat them. If our army can take it, it will be able to deal a great blow to the arrogance of the Tang army, even if we can't completely drive the Tang army out of Liaoxi, even if we still have to negotiate with the Tang army next, but with such a victory in hand, we can undoubtedly better raise our own value, and we can also have more chips available. ”

Listening to Dolgon's harsh words, Hauge was stunned.

He didn't expect that when he was prepared and Dolgon's guy was defenseless, this guy could still speak like a sound, quickly turn the situation around, and turn the disadvantage into an advantage, so that he couldn't answer for a while.

Dolgon, no wonder he is so popular with everyone, this person's resourcefulness is really far above himself. It seems that in the future, above the court, the struggle with this person will be quite fierce and cruel.

The atmosphere in the living room fell silent for a moment.

By now, Hauge has understood that his wishful thinking to persuade Dolgon is simply impossible, and Dolgon's guy seems to be unwilling not to fight with the Tang Army.

It's just that the Qing army, which has been defeated in a row, can really defeat the Tang army that is holding on to the city? Hauge didn't think so.

He decided in his heart that it would not be easy for the current Qing army, even if it concentrated all its strength, just to attack a Zhenyuan Fort with few troops and no firearms. It can't be as easy as Dorgon says.

In that case, let Dolgon send his own forces to fight, and I, Haug, will only watch from the sidelines. This king is on the side to take a good look at you, how you will be in front of the iron fist of the Tang army, and your head will be broken and bleeding. At that time, don't blame the king for not saying the ugly words ahead!

Thinking of this, Hauge pretended to have a sad look on his face, and he sighed and said, "Prince Rui, it seems that you can't listen to the opinions of this king." Even so, the Tao is not the same, and this king will not say more. It's just that this king wants to tell you that if you really plan to attack the Tang army's Zhenyuan Fort, you can send your subordinate soldiers to go, and this king's soldiers and horses are unwilling to make such a meaningless sacrifice. Well, without further ado, this king will take his leave! ”

Dolgon was very angry when he saw Haug say such divisive words in such a bold manner, and his tone was so rude. It's just that, considering that the Qing Dynasty has just ended the split and restored unification, but he can't afford to turn his face against Hauge again, so Hauge's last very rude words, Dolgon can only swallow and swallow, gritting his teeth and enduring it.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, controlled the burning anger in his heart, and replied coldly: "In that case, then this topic will end here." I also hope that Prince Su will be calm for a while, please wait for the king to send troops to take Zhenyuan Fort, and then come to discuss the next step with Prince Su, I will not send it far! ”

Hauge sneered, brushed his sleeves away, and quickly disappeared into the living room.

Looking at Hauge's back in high spirits, Dolgon gritted his teeth with hatred, and he waited until the footsteps outside were completely gone, and then he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it to pieces.

"Hauge, you bastard! One day, this king will smash you like a cup! This king will trample you on the ground, a thief, and you will not be able to turn over for eternity! "In the empty hall, the roar of Dorgon shook the roof tiles.

Dolgon paced back and forth in the room like a sleepy beast, and when he had finally calmed down, he ordered the servant in a deep voice: "Go, bring Prince Yu and Master Fan to the living room." ”

"Hey, the minion obeys."

Not long after, Prince Yu Duoduo and Wenguan University scholar Fan Wencheng hurriedly arrived.

Dorgon stopped the two of them, and then, with a gloomy face, he recounted to them roughly what Haug had just said to him.

After listening to Dolgon's narration, both of them were shocked, Fan Wencheng twisted his eyebrows and thought deeply, his right hand kept brushing his beard, and Prince Yu Duoduo was already furious.

"It's so infuriating! Second brother, Haoge, as the regent of the Qing Dynasty, is so useless, cowardly before fighting, and doesn't even have the courage to fight with the Tang Army, just thinking like this, to negotiate peacefully with the Tang Army, it really disgraces my Qing Dynasty!" Dodor rose from his chair and roared with his fist on his face.

Duoduo's eyes widened, his face churned with anger, and he shouted at Dolgon again, "Second brother, don't think about anything. Just speak, and let my little brother and I take a force and go to fight against the Tang army. Whether it is Haicheng, Yingkou, or Zhenyuan Fort in western Liaoning, the younger brother has nothing to say. If I don't win, I'm willing to see you, little brother! “

Dolgon looked at Duoduo coldly and expressed his passion, but he didn't speak, just sighed, and asked Fan Wencheng, who had not spoken all the time, and asked Fan Wencheng, who had not spoken next to him: "Master Fan, this king wants to ask you, what do you think of Prince Su's opinion, but you can tell the truth to this king." “

Fan Wencheng sighed, as if he had just woken up from his contemplation, and he bowed his hand to Dolgon and said, "Lord Regent, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, although Prince Su's words are extreme, but there is some truth in them. “

"Oh, why does Master Fan think so?"

"Prince Rui, now that the war in the Qing Dynasty is in turmoil, the people's livelihood is hard, the national strength is difficult, and the army is depressed, and the soldiers have no will to fight, how can I regain my ability to have a head-on duel with the Tang Army, which has been recuperating for a long time! In Weichen's view, the most important thing for me in the Qing Dynasty is to recuperate as soon as possible, restore the national strength, and then try to cheer up and regain the hegemony of the Tang Army, which is the best move. Therefore, from the following point of view, although Prince Su's opinion has the idea of fear of war and cowardice, and although it is suspected of insulting the dignity of the country, in the current situation, it is also a acceptable way out for my Daqing. ”

"Hmph, Fan Wencheng, what do you mean by being a bastard?! In your opinion, Hauge's opinion, are we going to agree with him? Could it really be that we can only do this, and we don't even dare to fight a battle, so we are going to bend our knees to the Tang Army and sue for peace?! “

Before Dolgon could speak, Duoduo on the side had already shouted loudly, his thick right hand pointed directly at Fan Wencheng's nose, and two sharp gazes poked straight at Fan Wencheng's thin face.

"Hmph, you Han dogs, you have no bones, no courage, and you want to beg for mercy when things come to an end, it's really useless! Let me tell you, we, the Manchurian warriors who crisscross the white mountains and black waters, will never be as cowardly and incompetent as you Han dogs, and are a group of cowards who only know how to bow their knees and surrender! ”

Being violently insulted by Duoduo, Fan Wencheng's face was very ugly, he trembled, but he didn't dare to refute, squinted his eyes and peeked at Dorgon, and found that he was also frowning and pondering, but he was very satisfied with Duoduo's words.

Fan Wencheng sighed, his face was pale, and his mood was very depressed.
