Chapter 66 Deliberations

But for a moment, the little emperor of Shunzhi, with the support of the eunuchs, sat under the dragon chair.

The kings saluted one after another, but there were two people who didn't have to kneel, naturally Dolgon and Dai Shan, Dai Shan was because of old age, Huang Taiji had long since refused to let him salute, and Dolgon was a famous person, the regent of the emperor's uncle, who monopolized the power and almost held the entire Qing court power in his hands.

Naturally, he would not salute the little emperor of Shunzhi.

"Uncles, please get up." The little emperor said.

It was the first thing the little emperor said, but it was almost the only one that worked.

The kings got up one after another, and after they had bowed, they began to take their deliberations.

This side hall of the Qianqing Palace is not big, but it is only a little larger than the living room of ordinary people, behind the desk of the little emperor, there is a layer of curtains, and there is a figure sitting in the back. It vaguely looked like a woman, but she didn't say anything. There's less space.

Haoge was the first to speak and said: "In the battle of Xiangyang, the soldiers were lost, but I don't know what Uncle Eighth and Uncle Ten will say?" ”

Hauge's voice echoed, and the first to deal with it was Dolgon, who was drinking tea and listened to Hauge's words, "Smack." With a bang, he smashed the tea lid on top of the tea bowl, covering the curling smoke, and said: "Prince Su, what do you want, haven't you already said this thing?" ”

"King Ying and King Yu, under Xiangyang City, although there are some losses, but it is not wrong to break into the camp for thousands of miles west and absorb the northwest land, but it is just a combination of merits and demerits."

As soon as Dolgon received the battle report from the front, he began to deal with it.

He knew that he couldn't hide such a thing. After all, the loss is so big, you have to give an explanation, and you should have dealt with it early. The so-called merits and demerits are offset, but in fact, they still shelter his two brothers, after all, both of them are princes, and there is no seal.

Thousands of miles of battle, countless cities have been broken, and the flow of oil in his hands has long been rich.

More rewards, less rewards, it is not meaningful.

"Just offset the merits and demerits?" Haoge said: "Eighth uncle, and the tenth uncle have lost a lot of Eight Banners, and during this period of time, almost every family in the inner city is wearing filial piety. A few days ago, the Tourai was gone. Such a loss is unprecedented since Taizu raised his army. Uncle Nine was lifted high like this and gently put down. can be worthy of the Eight Banners who died in battle. ”

"What do you want?" Azig said, "There are immortals in the war. ”

"Yes, there are no immortals in war." Hauge said: "But my Qing Dynasty's military law is like a mountain, and the general of the defeated army will never be handled like this." ”

"You ---," Azig said Haug, and he wanted to draw his knife when he touched his hand, but he felt empty.

Haoge sneered: "Why does Eighth Uncle still want to leak the blade in front of the king---"

"Shut up." Dorgon held Azig down. He was a little annoyed in his heart, he had been prepared for Hauge's reproach, and he was determined to suppress it, but he didn't want Azig to say nothing, he wanted to use force, and he had no brains as before.

"Alright." Dai Shan coughed lightly twice and said, "Don't say it again, the eighth, the tenth, although it is not good to fight under Xiangyang City, but after all, there is still merit in fighting thousands of miles and expanding thousands of miles." Speaking of this, Dai Shan's voice changed and said: "Of course, so many Eight Banners children have been injured, and they must give an explanation, in my opinion, they will be punished." ”

Dolgon glanced at Hauge coldly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, and said: "Since it is rare for the second brother to speak, how can I refute the second brother's face." Let's do it. ”

Anyway, there are a few real Manchu magnates who live on Yulu.

The penalty is nothing more than a symbolic one. Showing an attitude of admitting mistakes is of no importance to Azig and Dordor at all.

And so it ended.

The two queen mothers behind the bead curtain are the queen mother and the queen mother, and the other is the queen mother. And the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary Bumu Butai is what later generations called the Queen Mother of Xiaozhuang, of course, it can't be said now, Xiaozhuang is a nickname, that is, it is called after death.

Bumu Butai shook his head slightly in his heart and glanced at his aunt on the side.

The Queen Mother is the queen of Huang Taiji and the aunt of Bumu Butai. She was a little disappointed in Hauge, who looked menacing but had no force, and such an attack could not hurt Dorgon in the slightest.

Then came the next topic. Dai Shan said: "Old ten, you talk about the Southern Dynasty. ”

"Okay." Duoduo said: "The Southern Dynasty was founded by Luo Rucai, but there is new good news, that is, Luo Rucai is dead, and the order was sent to his son Luo Yulong, this Luo Yulong is a dragon or a worm, whether he can control the Southern Dynasty is still a question." If you think about it, within a year or two, the Southern Dynasties will not be able to straighten it out. Feel free to do so for the next two years, don't worry too much about the Southern Dynasties. ”

Immediately, Duoduo told the story of the war, and said: "The iron mold casting cannon method used in the Southern Dynasty is very convenient for casting artillery, which is also the reason why the Hongyi cannon is useless, and the benefits of firearms in the Southern Dynasty are above ours. ”

"Riding and archery is the foundation of my Qing Dynasty." Dolgon said: "The people of the Southern Dynasty are cowardly using firearms, and it is not a day or two. ”

Although Dorgon said so, he was very attentive to the private training of craftsmen in iron mold casting artillery. I have to say that Chongzhen left a very good foundation for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention anything else, who is flat among the craftsmen in Beijing, which is far from being understandable in Liaodong.

The speed of digesting this technique is also quite fast, this is just a piece of window paper, and even just need to put forward this idea, and the rest of the craftsmen in Beijing can make it themselves.

"What about the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty?" Zilharang asked.

Duoduo pondered for a while and said: "The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are mixed, there are remnants of thieves, and there are also former Ming surrender troops, but for the people of the Zheng Guogong headquarters of the Southern Dynasty who are fighting against me, they can be called 'tenacious'. ”

The two sides have been entangled for nearly a month, around the small hill of Da Xian Mountain, attacking and counteroffensive, and continuing to invest, although the Xia army is inferior, it can still keep up with the rhythm of the Qing army, which shows that maybe the Qing army is stronger, but the gap between them has not yet reached the point of collapse at the touch of a button.

All of you here are the most outstanding generals of the Qing army, and there may be some generals who are waiting for news outside because of their status.

This group of people was the core that underpinned the Manchu regime.

These generals followed the old slave, Huang Taiji, two generations of monarchs, from one victory to another, raised. The temperament is different from other armies. They naturally understood how rare the word "tenacity" was in the mouth of Duoduo.

Dordor was a man of great pride, and he did not boast of it.

"Ahem." Dai Shan coughed twice and said: "Whether the Southern Dynasty is tough or the firearms are sharp, it is enough for me to occupy the north in the Qing Dynasty, and the rest of the Xu Xu Tuzhi does not need to be in such a hurry." ”

Dai Shan's words represent the opinions of many Manchurian old people.

Being able to get the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty is already something that many people have never thought about, and all the Manchu people add up to only a million people, and the elite soldiers recruited are only 120,000. Any more, young and old. It is commendable that almost all of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners are full-time samurai, and they have fields at home, even if they are a small pawn, there are many Han slaves and maids in the family. plus the silver of the face. In such a situation, the soldiers who are treated and raised are naturally stronger than others.

Although Duoduo said that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were tenacious, in the eyes of many Manchurian generals, they were definitely not as good as the elite of the Eight Banners.

Zilharang said: "Prince Li's words are wrong. The mixed yuan is unified, the universe is one, it is the first emperor is the grand wish, how can you say that you will give up? ”

Dolgon said: "What Prince Zheng said is extremely true, the former Ming Dynasty transported four million stone grain from Jiangnan every year, and one million taels of gold and silver, to maintain the capital, and the north to maintain, all thanks to Jiangnan, if there is no Jiangnan money and grain. It's still hard to say how long Beijing Wumart can be raised. ”

Zilharan and Dorgon were unexpectedly in agreement.

Whether it is the will of the first emperor or out of practical needs, perhaps the north will not be unable to establish a country. But now that the situation is lacking in the materials of Jiangnan, the finances of the Qing army are already very problematic, if it were not for the 60 million taels of silver left by Li Zicheng to them, they have not been spent. The Qing court could no longer support the huge war expenses.
