In the Forbidden City of Yanjing, the young puppet Shunzhi Emperor Fulin sat on a throne accompanied by his mother Da Yu'er, and below him sat the regent Dorgon, the emperor who made Fulin hated and feared.

Below, a line of Manchu and Han ministers stood up, and a Han minister held a few copies of the "Popular Daily", on which the edict of the abdication of Emperor Yongli and the edict of Yang Xuan called the emperor were published.

The most important of these is the edict of Emperor Yongli's abdication, Yang Xuan's edict on his accession to the throne, listening to what this Han minister said, Dolgon did not understand his hatred, dragged the sick body to snatch the edict, and shouted loudly while watching.

After receiving the news that the Prince of Yu Duoduo and the King of Dingnan Kong Youde were killed, there was a lot of discussion outside, and many Han ministers advocated sending envoys to the north and south to negotiate peace, and the Tartars gave up the southwest, two lakes, and two Guangzhou, and divided the court into a system.

The south boat and the north horse, the southern waterways are staggered, the climate is humid and hot, the Tatar soldiers are very unadaptable, many soldiers and horses often have to return to the north in the middle of summer to escape the summer, coupled with military failures one after another, so many people have this thought.

Dolgon was quite angry at first, but he couldn't withstand the repeated persuasion of those Han ministers, and was thinking about how to imitate the story of Yue Fei of the Golden Vulture, first revenge the enemy who killed his brother and nephew, and then Xu Tu annihilated the Nanming regime. (After Li Dingguo became two famous kings in history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty stopped attacking the southwest regime and prepared to negotiate peace)

Dolgon was thinking about how to deal with it, and the Tartar Emperor Fu Lin could not sit still, looked at his imperial father Regent, and said: "Imperial father Regent, since ancient times, there are no two heavens and no two people.

That Yang Xuan dared to claim that the emperor and the emperor were in court, and he was really bold and reckless, and he needed to be punished no matter what. ”

Suddenly asked by his nephew, Dolgon shook his head again and again, and said: "Fulin, you don't understand this, Yang Xuan's brazen claim to be the emperor will inevitably become the focus of contradictions among the other Ming armies."

Although we can't form an alliance with other Ming armies to fight against Yang Xuan and his loyal army, this also makes Yang Xuan lose the excuse to call on other Ming armies, so we can divide and attack together.

Fulin, do you think this is good news? ”

Fulin nodded as if he didn't understand, and the big Yu'er next to him was afraid that Fulin would say something wrong, so he preemptively said: "Imperial Father Regent, you are in charge of major affairs in the court, Fulin is still young, how can he understand this?" ”

Fu Lin glared at Xiaozhuang sadly, and was about to grab Bai, when he felt pain in his buttocks, he turned his head to look, only to see Xiaozhuang pinching his ass fiercely, so he hurriedly stopped.

Dolgon, however, did not see this, and said to the crowd in high spirits, "Tell me, my ministers, what should we do?" ”

Manchurian University scholar Ganglin said with a smile: "Imperial father regent, the Han people like to intrigue and fight, fighting outsiders and fighting insiders, we can take this opportunity to cut off the puppet prison Zhu Yihai's armed forces in Zhoushan and eliminate the remnants of the Ming army in Zhejiang."

We can cut off Xiamen and Kinmen, where Zheng Chenggong is entrenched, and then use Zheng Zhilong as a threat to force Zheng Chenggong to accept our demand for peace talks.

In this way, as long as we cut off the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels, we can concentrate the whole country's troops and horses to contend with the loyal and righteous army, so the loyal and righteous army will definitely be defeated. ”

Dolgon nodded and said: "Ganglin's opinions are broken, and then lead the main force to fight a decisive battle with the loyal army, this is a good strategy, do you see if there are any good strategies?" ”

Minister of Parliament Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "This matter must not be done, the imperial father regent."

Yang Xuan said that the emperor was shaken in the world, and those Han people who were shaved and changed their crowns would inevitably respond in groups when they heard it.

The regent of the imperial father, Yang Xuan defeated Haoge, Luo Luohun, Nikan, Duoduo and others in a row, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”

Dolgon shook his head and said: "Retreat, I haven't considered a way to retreat since I entered the pass in the Qing Dynasty, you say, how to retreat?" ”

Fan Wencheng looked at Dolgon and said: "The imperial father regent, the little minister is foolish, you can follow the model of the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty that day, we retreat to Jiangbei, and the Han people guard Jiangnan." ”

Dolgon shook his head and laughed: "Fan Wencheng, you are really confused, my Qing Dynasty is almost about to control the whole world, and now in this field, you actually want me to retreat, this, is this too much concession."

If Zhu Youlang, the abolished emperor, is in power, it is okay, in order to consolidate the imperial power, he may temporarily agree like Zhao Gou, kill Yang Xuan to negotiate peace, and then slowly try to make it.

But now that Yang Xuan is the emperor, and he keeps saying that he will expel the Tartars and restore China, you say, will we be satisfied if we retreat to Jiangbei Yang Xuan? ”

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Imperial Father Regent, the concession is not big, you see Yang Xuan said in the edict that he would completely eliminate the threat of Manchuria, what is the threat of Manchuria?"

The regent of the imperial father, in addition to retreating, also has to retreat in a planned way, cultivating potential opponents for Yang Xuan, so that he can block the loyal army a little.

The emperor, the regent of the emperor's father, and Weichen suggested that Zhejiang be handed over to Zhu Yihai, the state of Lu Jianguo, and Fujian to Zheng Chenggong, so that they could compete with Yang Xuan, so that he did not dare to worry about the Northern Expedition.

And take this opportunity to get rid of the six major malpractices of the enclosure order, the hair shaving order, the surrender law, the fugitive law, the ban order and the massacre of the city, only in this way can we get the understanding of the Han people, and the people will support us as they did in the customs just now. ”

Fu Lin shouted angrily: "What nonsense, I have so much land with the blood of the Qing Dynasty soldiers, and now you let me give it to Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong without reservation, how is this possible?" ”

Dolgon also shook his head and said, "If there is no enclosure so that my Manchurian warriors have no size land, what is the difference between this and the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia?" In this way, we won't be able to set up camp in Kannai.

Don't say this kind of thing, now that Yang Xuan is the emperor, the Han people will inevitably fall into infighting again, and we can take this opportunity to defeat these people individually. ”

Fan Wencheng sighed and said: "Imperial Father Regent, now Zheng Chenggong has retreated to several small islands in Kinmen and Xiamen, and Zhu Yihai has retreated to the Zhoushan Islands, and his power is still very small, how can they deal with Yang Xuan with their current strength?" ”

Ganglin looked at the map and said, "Mr. Fan, if we give Fujian to Zheng Chenggong and Zhejiang to Zhu Yihai, it is difficult to ensure that they will not turn around and attack us."

And how to deal with the troops of the Three Kings (the remnants of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming's troops)? From Guang (east to Jiangxi?) ”

As soon as everyone heard that they were going to withdraw from the newly occupied Guangdong and have already occupied Fujian and Zhejiang, everyone talked about it, and some even knocked on the ground with their heads, and they couldn't even shout.

At this time, Ganglin once again proposed Hong Chengchou's middle strategy, although the Loyal and Righteous Army captured Hunan, but it was because Wu Sangui's Jiangbei Group and Duoduo Group were defeated by the Loyal and Righteous Army one after another, and their strength was not replenished, and they failed to launch an attack to support the front line when the Loyal and Righteous Army was marching south.

Now that Wu Sangui Jiangbei Group and Yue Le Group have been replenished, they can order Jierharang to lead the remnants into Jiangxi, guard Jiangxi together with Jiangxi Governor Liu Wuyuan, and reorganize the Jiangxi camp.

The main force of the Eight Banners of Manmeng in the Azig Department is the Jiangbei Group.

With Hong Chengchou Nanzhili soldiers and horses as the Jiangnan group.

During the Loyal Army's eastward crusade, the Jiangxi Battalion and the Jiangnan Battalion firmly blocked the offensive of the Loyal and Righteous Army, while Wu Sangui's Jiangbei Battalion and the Azig Group took the opportunity to launch an offensive, leaving the Loyal and Righteous Army exhausted.

Dolgon was not willing to fail, and besides, the capture of the Han family was already eight points, how could he give up so easily?

In order to consolidate his power, Dolgon also decided to fight to the death, and according to Ganglin's proposal, he actively dispatched troops to block the Loyal Army's crusade to the east.
