Compared with the development of the Northeast by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Hongmen focused more on the expansion of Hongtang's main army.

Now that they have decided to take action against the Qing Dynasty, Li Tianyang and them are no longer limited to controlling the land of hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers in the northeast.

The middle and high-level leaders of the Hongmen all despised the fact that even if they Hongmen no longer acted against the Qing people and stuck to the current territory, it would be absolutely impossible for the Qing people to let them go by their side at night, and there was an enemy of Hongmen.

And when the struggle for the power of the Qing people subsided and the wounds of the army dried, they were bound to send troops to attack the Hongtang headquarters again.

When the time comes, with the previous failure as a lesson, the Qing people's re-attack will inevitably be a situation of fish and nets, either the Hongmen will be completely defeated, or the foundation established by the Qing people for three or four generations will be consumed by the war in this battle, and they will completely lose their glory.

The people of the Qing Dynasty actually knew very well that if they couldn't completely beat the Hongtang army out of the northeast before Hongmen gained a foothold, with the resources they could have harvested countless resources to fill the vacancy, but in the end they were reduced to utopian resources, they should have been destroyed and destroyed by Hongtang last year, how many tribes and livestock did not survive, and the population was captured and killed, in the coming cold winter, I don't know how many clansmen will die.

The population base of the Jurchens is not large, which is also the biggest defect that has always hindered their development, and now it has been damaged by the Hongtang army by more than 20%, if the food gap of the livestock of the people cannot be effectively solved before the cold winter comes, I don't know how many tribesmen will be lost.

All these things consume the precious population of their Qing Jurchens, and they are also the cornerstone of their future strong dynasty.

It was with this wise insight that the power disputes among the high-ranking nobles in the Qing Dynasty gradually became clear, and Prince Dolgon's strength and allies were still stronger than those of Hauge and Daishan, and he gradually took control of the situation in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, this is also related to the intention of Hauge and Dai Shan, politics has always been an art of compromise, in the face of the future life and death of the Qing Dynasty, the so-called battle for the throne, even if he wins, is actually just a loss of 10,000 enemies and 8,000 self-losses.

Under the persuasion of far-sighted Qing loyal ministers such as Fan Wencheng and Sony, the two princes who intended to compete for the throne gradually began to retreat.

Dolgon is not incompetent, how can he not know that the struggle for imperial power at this time has brought almost no benefit to the Qing Dynasty except for disadvantages, and the only benefit will only be individuals.

This is aspiring to the world, ambitious Dolgon, but it is absolutely not allowed, he thinks that he has the ability to compete with the first emperor father Nurhachi, the imperial brother Huang Taiji, but he didn't think that he was just ready to do a big job, opened the door of the Ming Dynasty's old enemy, but suddenly jumped out of a flood gate to challenge their status, directly killed them in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this sudden enemy brought damage to the Qing Dynasty even deeper than the damage brought by the Ming Dynasty, the old enemy of the Qing Dynasty for many years, and even affected the future foundation and future of the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng and other Hanchen spontaneously stood up and looked at the future of the Qing Dynasty, put the current situation in the Qing Dynasty on the bright side, and told Dolgon, Daishan, Haoge and other princes with facts that their imperial relatives and relatives would be so internal friction again, so that the Hongmen people could gain a foothold on their own territory and build fortresses one after another, and then the headache would only be the people who loved the Xinjueluo family.

The children of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty have not many other benefits, but they are unexpectedly unanimous on the issue of unity, perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that they have always lived in hardship in the Qing Dynasty and need unity to survive.

Therefore, although they knew that there were many contradictions between each other, and that life and death were at stake, under the persuasion of Fan Wencheng and other literati, the princes of Dolgon, Hauge, Daishan, and Nurharang sat together one after another and began to negotiate compromises with each other.

The stronger Prince Rui Dolgon naturally benefited a lot, at least the real power of his Prince Regent was still in his hands, and Nuerharang and Hauge were not without gains.

Prince Zheng Nurharang hopes that the heir of Huang Taiji will sit on the throne, Hauge will no longer be secretly seized by Dolgon, and Prince Daishan will not have to worry about becoming a scapegoat for his previous failures. The negotiations between the several parties finally reached a condition acceptable to everyone, which brought a temporary curtain to the struggle for imperial power in the Qing Dynasty.

Then the Qing people began to lick their wounds, expand their troops, and mobilize the Eight Banners tribe to prepare for the next big war again.

Even if they knew that the national strength of the Qing Dynasty was consumed too much in the rounds of wars, and the tribal warriors had reached the point of being unable to catch up with the yellow, but if they did not drive the Hongtang army out of the northeast for a day, they would not be able to live in peace in the Qing Dynasty.

The movements of the Qing Dynasty have been under the strict monitoring of the Hongmen guards, and over the years, spies have been planted in the Qing Dynasty through various means, although many spies have a humble status, but they can also find out a lot of Qing Dynasty movements.

Li Tianyang and Wu Jie did not expect that the power struggle of the Qing people was cleaner than the power struggle of the Han people, and since they had made a compromise, these competitors quickly adjusted their mentality and began to cooperate and actively prepare for the next war.

In view of this, Li Tianyang and the others also began to speed up, and the recruitment efforts between the Bengang Alliance and the Ming Dynasty refugees were also increasing.

Fortunately, the few remaining independent forces in the Bengang Alliance also have a loose posture, and as the patriarch of the Black Panther clan grows old, his heart also begins to tend to raise his clan to return to the Hongmen.

In particular, in the more than a year that the Yushan, Jura Mountain Society and the Laike tribe returned to Hongmen, although the clansmen and soldiers suffered many casualties, they also gained a lot.

The spoils of war looted from the northeast, Li Tianyang did not hide their secrets, and distributed them fairly and justly among the various contributing tribes in accordance with the principle of merit and contribution. And the rewards of the Red Gate itself, all kinds of firearms that were not sold to the natives before, can also be mastered by these tribal warriors without any difficulty after these tribes are truly returned to the Hongmen.

Even all kinds of new technologies that had been introduced before, Hongmen did not hesitate to give them to these tribal members who no longer distinguished each other.

Sugar boiling methods, toothpaste making techniques, bridge construction skills, etc., the secrets that were kept secret in Hongmen in the past have now become good things that everyone in the indigenous people can learn.
