Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 545 Dolgon's Suggestion

The 26-year-old Dolgon and the surrounding Baylors are like weak scholars, but the surrounding Baylors dare not despise the owner of the white flag.

Since Dolgon was introduced to Houjin's politics by Huang Taiji nine years ago, the young Baylor has not become a puppet used by Huang Taiji to control the two white flags, as everyone thinks, but has always tried his best to maintain the independence of the two white flags.

In the past nine years, even the other three big Baylors have been cleaned up by Huang Taiji one by one, but Dolgon can still maintain the trust of Huang Taiji, which is almost a trace in the eyes of Baylor and Beizi who love Xinjueluo.

As Huang Taiji's power in the country has become more and more powerful in the past two years, the status of Dolgon, who has been trusted by Huang Taiji, has naturally become higher and higher. However, Dolgon, who is not yet 30 years old, has become more and more silent in the Great Palace in the past two years, and he basically didn't say a word if it wasn't for the Khan King himself.

At this moment, facing the gaze of everyone in the Great Palace, Dolgon suddenly understood in his heart that Huang Taiji was not satisfied with Haugbel's proposition, so he hoped that he could speak out to refute the other party. As Hauge's father, Huang Taiji did not want to send a signal of dissatisfaction with his son, after all, it would lead some speculators and conspirators to believe that he did not intend to pass the throne to this eldest son.

Once such a signal is released, then the Jurchen nobles will inevitably invest in Huang Taiji's other sons, and then attack Haugbele. It was as if they had dealt with Guangluo Belle Chu Ying and the Great Belle Daishan, and pulled Haugbel from the position of the heir to the Khan's throne.

But Huang Taiji did not establish the idea of the heir to the throne now, and he did not want to have another infighting in the Aixin Jueluo family after solving the problem of the four major Baylors. Therefore, in front of everyone, the father and son always maintain a consistent political attitude, so as to avoid some speculators will be mistaken.

However, in this case, the task of suppressing Haugbeler every time fell to Dolgon. After Yue Tuo expressed his support for Hauge, only Dolgon had the strength and prestige to refute his nephew's claims.

Although Dolgon knew that following Huang Taiji's instructions to suppress Hauge again and again would make Hauge regard him as an enemy of the world. But he also knew that if he didn't follow Huang Taiji's instructions, he was afraid that he would also lose his role Amin and Mang Gurtai. He doesn't have a son like Yue Tuo who can allow him to retire peacefully under Huang Taiji's nose.

Dolgon sighed in his heart, but on the surface he stood up without hesitation, and after saluting Huang Taiji, he said: "King Hui Khan, the minister thinks that although Haugbele's words are relieving, they are not the first priority of our country at the moment. ”

Hauge was immediately unconvinced and sneered at Dolgon: "I want to listen to Prince Rui's opinion." ”

Huang Taiji suddenly glared at Hauge dissatisfied, and then said to Dolgon: "Don't pay attention to Hauge, you pour out all the thoughts in your heart, let us refer to them together." ”

Hauge retreated to Chaobanzhi under the pressure of his father, and Dolgon did not look at him, so he stood in the main hall and bowed his head to Huang Taiji and replied: "According to the Khan's orders, my brother thinks that whether it is Amin who defected, whether it is the Mongol tribe who defected to the Ming Dynasty, or the Sauron Alliance in the north, it is just a sibling problem for my Qing Dynasty.

The real trouble in my heart in the Qing Dynasty is still the Ming Kingdom after all. If we don't defeat the Ming Kingdom, these surrounding forces will appear in an endless stream, and if we defeat them a hundred times, they will still make a comeback for the 101st time with the support of the Ming Kingdom. With the limited population of our Qing Dynasty, how can we deal with the infinite tribes around us? ”

Yue Tuo immediately disagreed and said: "Prince Rui's words are not right, he said it when the Heavenly Mandate Khan was alive in the past. We are full of people to deal with the Ming Dynasty is a small axe to cut down a big tree, we must first go to its branches, and then cut its trunk. Isn't what you mean now to change the policy set by the Mandate of Heaven Khan? ”

As soon as Yue Tuo mentioned the Mandate of Heaven Khan, the big and small Baylors in the hall immediately nodded one after another, and whispered in favor of Yue Tuo and turned to accuse Dolgon. Huang Taiji coughed lightly a few times at this time, and after quieting down in the hall, he spoke: "Today is just to discuss how to deal with the surrounding situation faced by my Great Qing Dynasty, not to modify the strategy of the first Khan, and you don't have to chase too much after the wind." Let's let Prince Rui continue, and everyone will listen to it before discussing it. ”

The big and small Baylors answered, and the hall fell silent again. Dorgon pondered for a moment before continuing: "The strategy formulated by the Mandate of Heaven Khan is naturally correct, but the situation when the Mandate Khan formulated the strategy of the Commander is completely different from today.

In the past, although the Ming Dynasty was nominally allied with Lin Dan Khan, it was the suzerainty of Korea. However, Lin Dan Khan did not accept the command of the Ming Dynasty, and the Chahar and Ming people always fought separately. Although the Ming people allied themselves with Lin Dan Khan, they were extremely wary of their peers in private, and the rewards given to the Mongol tribes were silk and other useless things, and grain, iron, and armor were not traded. Although the two countries are allied, they are not one with us.

As for Korea, which is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, although it is a large country to the east of our Qing Dynasty. However, after the land route between Daming and North Korea was cut off by our country, the exchanges between the two countries were almost cut off. When the Ming Dynasty attacked our country, it was difficult for North Korea to contain our country from the side.

It was the Khan who formulated the strategy of cutting down big trees with a small axe, because these three countries had their own intentions and it was difficult for them to work together to deal with our country. After our country is defeated, Mongolia and North Korea can become a help for our country.

But the situation facing us today in the Qing Dynasty is very different from the situation of the first Khan during his lifetime. Lin Dan Khan disappeared in the desert, the Chahar tribe had no leader, and now there is no Mongolian Khan who can command the tribes in the southern Mongolian tribes, so these Mongolian tribes have been divided between our country and the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming people set up a flag alliance system in southern Mongolia, directly controlled these Mongolian tribes, and set up guard posts in the places where the alliance flags were located, so that the Ming army and the Mongolian tribes in the steppe were wings of each other. We attack the Mongol tribes, and the Ming army will come to the rescue; We want to make a detour to attack the Ming army, and we will be attacked by the Mongol tribes on the flank. In such a situation, how can you cut off the branches of a big tree?

Although Korea has been conquered twice by our country, its subordinates still regard me as a barbarian, and it is difficult for them to truly submit to our country. In addition, now that the sea route between the Ming Dynasty and Korea has been opened, even if the two countries cannot be transported by land from Liaodong, Korea is already under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

North Korea is a small country, but it is also a country with a population of millions. If we don't have an army stationed in Korea, we can't assume that Korea will do everything in its power to support us in attacking the Ming Kingdom. But it is difficult to station an army in North Korea. The number was small, and it was the target of the Ming army and the North Koreans. If there are more people, the country will be empty again.

In addition, our Sauron tribes to the east, northeast, and north, which used to be the source of our country's replenishment of the Eight Banners, have now become a scourge to our frontiers.

If at this time, we still have to continue to implement the strategy formulated by the first Khan to destroy these surrounding forces one by one and then attack the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid that the gourd was pressed and the scoop floated, even if our army was tired of fighting divisions, it might not be able to pacify these forces supported by the Ming Kingdom.

Whether it's Amin, or those rebels under him, that's not my Manchurian population. These people were supposed to be on the battlefield charging against the Ming army, but now they have become a sharp weapon used by the Ming people against my Qing Dynasty.

It doesn't matter how much it will cost us to destroy these rebels and capture Amin back. Suffice it to say that in order to deal with these rebellions, our country will lose men and horses, which is exactly what the Ming people would like to see. The Ming people didn't spend a single soldier, let us kill each other, with the population of our country, how many such wars did we fight? ”

Dolgon's words immediately caused everyone to think deeply, and when Duoduo saw this, he immediately spoke out in support of his brother and said, "We are full of people and ourselves, how can we continue to kill each other like this. We can't follow in the footsteps of the Mongols, if it weren't for the Mongols killing each other, how could the Mongols be driven out of the original by the Han people. Mongolia still has steppes to return to, and if we are driven out of Liaodong, where else can we be taken in? ”

Huang Taiji glanced at the crowd and realized that there were not a few Baylors who supported the opinions of the Dorgon brothers. He was slightly jealous of the two brothers' insight and unity, but he still asked Dolgon with a calm face, "Then Prince Rui thinks how we should deal with Amin and those Manchu rebellions?" ”

Dolgon thought for a moment and said, "The minister thinks that Amin is capricious, profit-seeking, and forgetful. In the past, the first Khan and the Khan King treated him so kindly, and Amin still had the intention of rebellion, not to mention Emperor Ming, who had no relatives and no reason with him.

Now Amin is far away in Mobei, which is beyond the reach of Emperor Ming. If the king of Khan shows favor to him and supports Amin as the Khan of Mobei. The minister thought that with Amin's personality, he would inevitably have greedy thoughts, and my country would have one more ally, and the Ming would lose a horse. Also, uh-huh. ”

Dorgon seemed to have something to say, but swallowed it back. Huang Taiji glanced at him and did not continue to ask. Instead, he asked the crowd, "What do you think of Prince Rui's proposition?" ”

There was no disagreement among the Beylers, and even Yue Tuo's attitude was relaxed, and he said to Huang Taiji: "King Khan, if you can persuade Amin to rebel against Ming, this is obviously a good thing to boost the morale of our country. In the future, Emperor Ming probably won't dare to use those rebellions to attack our country with such fanfare, but how can we persuade Amin to turn back? ”

Dorgon immediately replied, "Although Amin defected, the Khan still treated his family well. Amin's six sons, except for Erli Fuming, the other five sons are all in Shenyang. The second son, Gurma Hun was 21 years old, and was ordered to supervise the military industry, and his work can be described as rigorous. The minister thought that it was better to persuade Amin, so that Amin would know that his family was safe and sound in Shenyang. ”

Huang Taiji stopped Hauge and Yue Tuo from continuing to speak, and said to everyone: "I think we will discuss this here today, and everyone else will go back, and Dolgon will talk to me in the study." ”

Although Hauge had some ideas, after his father spoke, he could only glare at Dolgon hatefully, and then followed the others out of the main hall.
