Chapter 574: Hong Chengchou wants to kill Gao Yihuan

The changes in Guanzhong disrupted the deployment of the Qing army, and Meng Qiaofang in northern Shaanxi, Geng Zhongming in northern Henan, Duoduo in Shangqiu, and Azig near Yangzhou all had news spread to Beijing.

On the twelfth day of the first month, at the fifth watch, the sky was not yet bright, and the lights in the regent's mansion in Beijing were bright, and more than a dozen Manchu ministers hurried to the regent's mansion.

At this time, many important ministers did not know what was happening in Guanzhong, and the ministers who came to the palace hall were speculating about what had happened and whispering in the hall.

At this time, the scholar Feng Quan asked, "Lord Hong, the regent summoned us, but what happened to us?" ”

?? Hong Chengchou is a scholar of the military department and a scholar of the Inner Academy, and knows some secrets.

Hong Chengchou said: "Recently, several confidential beating reports have been submitted, and the matter discussed may be related to this, but these beating reports are directly sent to the regent palace, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

?? After the Qing army entered the customs, it absorbed many Han ministers, but the Manchus were not at ease with the Han people, and the real power was the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliament, not the cabinet.

When the Qing court encountered any major event, the Manchurians first closed the door and discussed it themselves, and then notified Hanchen to do it.

Under such a political structure, the Manchus became the brains of the world, and the Hanchen and the cabinet were just tools of their rule.

There was a sudden discussion in the hall, and everyone began to speculate about what it was that made the regent summon them in such a hurry.

For a while, there was news that the Qing army might have crossed the river, and some said that it was news from Hanzhong, or that the King of Qin had defeated Zhang Xianzhong and entered Sichuan.

?? The crowd was talking, and at this time, one of the guards shouted, "The Lord Regent has arrived!" ”

Hong Chengchou and the others hurriedly knelt down to greet him, only to see Dolgon, who was wearing a black dragon robe and a bowl hat on his head, surrounded by several guards, and walked into the main hall through the side door.

"Welcome Regent!" Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Dolgon's face was covered with frost, and he waved his hand impatiently, "Get up!" ”

Hong Chengchou and the others couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they saw Dolgon's heavy face, and they were secretly surprised, isn't it good news?

In the past few days, Dolgon has received several reports, and gradually confirmed the news of Gao Yihuan's entry into the customs.

This incident is too shocking, and it will cause great turmoil when it gets out. He first consulted with several Manchu ministers, but it aroused distrust among the Manchus, and Haoge and others stood up to attack him The strategy of the southern expedition was completely unsuccessful, and there were signs of wanting to seize power.

However, although the Manchu people fought fiercely, in order to ensure the interests of the entire clan, they did not show the internal tilt in front of the Han people, but tried their best to maintain the illusion of unity of the Eight Banners to deter the Han people.

On this point, regardless of the political views, the Manchus are basically the same.

Dolgon originally hoped to negotiate a solution to the crisis in Guanzhong in the Council of Ministers, but the internal differences among the Manchurians were too great, not only did they not come up with a plan, but Dolgon made Dolgon one head and two big.

Sooner or later, the matter in Guanzhong will reach Beijing, and if there is no plan to solve it, the Han officials in Beijing will inevitably be shaken, and even the minds of the northern gentry will be activated.

After the Qing army entered the customs, it was able to rule the entire north, in addition to the strong combat power of the Eight Banners, the main reason was that a large number of Han people took refuge.

Some of these people took refuge because they were forced to be helpless, and they were pitted by Li Zicheng, and they mistakenly took refuge in the Qing army, while the other part of them were optimistic about the prospects of the Great Qing Kingdom for the sake of glory, wealth and immediate interests.

The establishment of the entire Qing Dynasty was based on interests, not because of morality, it had no people's hearts, only interests.

In this case, if the interests are stable, the foundation of the Manchu Qing will be extremely solid, and if the interests go wrong, the Manchu country will fall apart.

The stability of interests requires a good prospect for the Qing Dynasty, and Gao Yihuan has entered the Guanzhong, which will make people wonder whether the Qing army has the ability to dominate the world, and whether it will be driven out of the Guanguan like Meng Yuan.

Once someone thinks so, the Han officials and green battalion soldiers who originally defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty will become an unstable factor, and they may collude with Gao Yihuan and launch a rebellion at any time.

This would shake the foundations of the Qing dynasty, so Dolgon had to come up with a plan as soon as possible so that the Han Chinese and the Manchus knew that the Qing was capable of dealing with this incident.

This matter can't be carried around, the Qing army is in northern Shaanxi, Shanxi's troops are very thin, if you don't respond quickly, the north may be full of beacons, so Dolgon recruited a few trustworthy Hanchen.

Dolgon sat on the throne and glanced at a few people, "I called you here today, there was a big incident, this king got several emergency military reports, all of which said one thing, Gao Yihuan took advantage of the emptiness in Guanzhong, and has entered Guanzhong and controlled Pujindu and Tongguan!" “

When everyone in the hall heard the news, they were instantly shocked, and they all looked at each other in an uproar.

For a while, everyone showed an extremely shocked look, Gao Yihuan entered the pass and captured Pujindu and Tongguan, isn't that Guanzhong already in the hands of the Southern Dynasty?

For a while, everyone was worried about the master, and they began to panic, how many people from Gao Yihuan entered the customs, and what was the situation in Guanzhong? Did Wu Sangui finish playing?

There was some confusion in the main hall, and Dorgon immediately frowned, a little annoyed in his heart.

At this time, Hong Chengchou asked: "Lord, what is the reaction of Gao Yihuan to attack Guanzhong, the King of Huaishun and the King of Zhishun in northern Henan, the Prince Ying of Jiangbei and the king of Doluo County?" ”

Dolgon's expression softened a little, "Geng Zhongming sent troops to capture Tongguan, Duoduo led his troops to attack southern Henan, and Azig thought that the southern expedition could not be stopped immediately, at least to drive the southern forces to the south of the Yangtze River, and they were still attacking Yangzhou." ”

Hong Chengchou immediately frowned, "Lord Wang, it is a taboo for soldiers to fight separately like this, and the imperial court must have a complete strategy, plus a clear grand strategy, otherwise it will be completely chaotic." ”

Dorgon summoned these Hanchen to hear their advice, not to exclaim.

Hong Chengchou's words made Dolgon nod, this old dog is worthy of being a superintendent, and he has a great view of the overall situation, and the Qing Dynasty really needs a clear goal and a new set of strategies.

Dol Roll glanced at Hong Chengchou approvingly, "Master Hong, how do you think the imperial court should deal with it?" ”

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "Lord, the minister thinks that the imperial court must first change the strategy of quickly destroying the Southern Dynasty. Now it seems that if our dynasty wants to destroy the Southern Dynasty quickly, the possibility is not very large, and the imperial court should slowly try to do it, and it cannot fight against Gao Yihuan, the Southern Dynasty, and Zhang Xianzhong at the same time. The minister believes that Gao Yihuan's entry into the customs poses the greatest threat to our dynasty, and our dynasty should make peace with the Southern Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong and destroy Gao Yihuan first. ”

Dolgon's eyes narrowed, his face was a little gloomy, Hong Chengchou's words were tantamount to overturning his previous strategy, which meant that his previous decision was wrong.

"Go on, make it clearer, how to get along with the Southern Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong!" Although Dol Roll felt uncomfortable, he also realized that with Gao Yihuan's attack on Guanzhong, he was no longer able to complete the strategy of quickly destroying Nanjing, nor could he deal with so many opponents at the same time.

Hong Chengchou said: "In terms of grand strategy, the minister thinks that we should set a priority, we should first unite with Zhang Xianzhong and Nanjing to destroy Gao Yihuan, then destroy Zhang Xianzhong, and finally destroy Nanjing!" ”

Hong Chengchou paused, "Zhang Xianzhong originally wanted to take Guanzhong, but Gao Yihuan took advantage of his battle with the King of Qin to sneak attack Guanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely not give up." The minister thought that he should send an envoy to see Zhang Xianzhong, first, to invite him to fight against Gao Yihuan, and second, to let him cease war with the king of Qin, so as not to suffer the enemy on the back of the king of Qin. ”

Dol rolled his head, turned his head and said, "Master Feng, you can do this matter!" ”

Feng Quan came out to receive the order, and Hong Chengchou continued: "The war in Jiangbei has now become a state of anxiety, and it must be stopped. However, if I take the initiative to withdraw my troops, the army will be exhausted, and Jiangbei, which has spent a huge amount of money, may immediately rebel. Prince Xiangying was also worried about this, so he insisted on continuing the southern expedition. The minister thought that if he wanted to keep the achievements of Jiangbei, he could force Nanjing to negotiate peace, sign a treaty, and cede Jiangbei to our court. As long as Nanjing nods and agrees that our dynasty occupies the north and Jiangbei, it is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of our dynasty, and at the same time saying that they do not have the heart to recover the north, they can cut off the Han people in the north from returning to the Ming anyway. In this way, our dynasty will be able to stabilize the hearts of the people in the north like the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time withdraw from Jiangbei. ”

Now that the northern army is empty, the soldiers in Azig's hands must be transferred back and negotiate peace with Nanjing, so that Azig can withdraw from Jiangbei, and at the same time ensure that Jiangbei eaten by the Qing army will not be spit out, which is exactly what Dolgon wants.

In this way, Dolgon's strategy of southern expedition can be regarded as a success, which can ensure his political achievements.

In addition, Gao Yihuan invaded Guanzhong, and the people in the north were in turmoil, and negotiating peace with Nanjing could indeed stabilize people's hearts. If Nanjing is not fighting, what will the outcasts in the north fight?

"Good. This matter will be handed over to you by this king! Dolgon stared at Hong Chengchou and said.

Several suggestions were adopted, and Hong Chengchou was also very relieved in his heart, and saluted and said: "The prince must know about Yue Fei, Yue Fei was killed, not to mention an ambitious Gao Quanzhong?" Gao Yihuan's occupation of southern Henan and Huguang has aroused the vigilance of the Southern Dynasties, and now that he has entered the customs again, the gap between Nanjing and him will inevitably be greater. After our dynasty negotiated peace with Nanjing, it attacked Gao Yihuan, presumably Nanjing was also happy to see our dynasty and Gao Yihuan consume each other, and would not lead troops to support. In this way, my soldiers and horses withdrew from Jiangbei, and united with Zhang Xianzhong to attack Gao Yihuan, and the fire on the other side of Nanjing will be destroyed! ”

After listening to Dol Roll, his eyes narrowed, obviously moved by Hong Chengchou's words.
