286 Battle of the Central Plains (18)
Shunzhi was the emperor for five years, these five years, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty set the world, the prelude to the unification of the country, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, internal and external disputes continue, in the court, although Dolgon is the monopoly of power, but the court situation is not as peaceful as it seems, the most serious is the party dispute, the Manchu and Han disputes, the north and the south party disputes, the Manchurians look down on Hanchen, feel that they are all spineless soft eggs, regard them as domestic slaves, very despise, even if it is Feng Quan, Hong Chengchou these deep Dolgon relied on Hanchen, It was also bullied by many Manchu ministers, and the Hanchen who surrendered was also a constant party dispute, which was very serious, divided into the southern faction and the northern faction, with Xu Qianxue and Chen Mingxia leading the Southern Party and Feng Quan and Liu Zhengzong leading the Northern People's Party; The two sides also relied on the Manchurian people to consolidate themselves, restore the nobles, and know that the court situation is also turbulent.
It is not very peaceful on the outside, first of all, the Dingding half of the Southern Ming Dynasty, held the Yellow River, the land south of the Qinling Mountains, and Duoduo, Haoge's two southern expeditions are all feathers, failure is not the most important, it cost countless money and food, lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, so that the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses, the north is not richer than the south, the treasury has long been beyond its means, under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, the strength of the Southern Ming Dynasty has increased greatly in a few years, and there is no need to transfuse blood to the north, and the sea channel has been opened, and a huge overseas trade has been established. The silk fabrics, porcelain, tea and other items of the Southern Ming Dynasty are exported to overseas, and the Oriental, Nanyang all over the country: Da Ni, Hun, Champong, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Bombai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam, etc. There are still some people in the northeast who do not accept the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and rebel and make trouble, although Mongolia in the north has submitted to the Qing Dynasty, but the Jungar in the west has begun to rise, and has the ambition to annex the entire Mongolian steppe, threatening the rule of the Qing Dynasty in Mongolia at all times.
In such a situation of internal and external difficulties, the Qing Dynasty can be described as stormy, like a hundred-foot building, the foundation under the foundation is not solid, and now it is beginning to fall a little down, there is a danger of collapse at any time, maybe it will fall one day, Shunzhi itself is young, and he has no ability to govern the country and the country, so he broke the jar and fell, handed over the power to Dolgon, and with him to toss, in fact, he is also powerless, when the emperor also has to talk about strength, his strength is not as good as Dolgon, and he has no ability to call the shots in state affairs. I can only ignore it.
"Emperor Taizu of the past with thirteen pairs of armor to raise troops in the northeast, grass to open the foundation, the road to the blue, through thorns and thorns, and finally able to unify the Jurchen tribes, Salhu a battle, the total annihilation of the Ming 200,000 elites, so that the world was shaken, to create my Qing Dynasty, the father Taizong Wen Emperor is also Wen Tao Wu strategy, the Quartet conquest, deterrence of the world, the west of the Mongolian tribes, the south of Korea to submit, to my Qing Dynasty tribute countless, I wait for the descendants of the unscrupulous, forget the Taizu Taizong entrepreneurial difficulties, now domestic and foreign difficulties, the country is poor and weak, A Nanming who was in a corner of peace after the defeat of my Qing Dynasty, but dared to offend my Qing Dynasty from time to time, but my Qing Dynasty lost more and won less, how could I face the spirit of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky! ”
The Forbidden City in Beijing, in the Qianqing Palace, the eleven-year-old Shunzhi Emperor also got the news from all over the country, and knew the domestic situation, although Dolgon did not allow him to ask about the government, but in the Qing Dynasty, there were not many people loyal to the little emperor of Shunzhi, so he was also able to quickly learn about the situation in various places, and he used to just endure and keep silent, but now there is a shocking situation in various places, on the battlefield in Shandong, entangled, hundreds of thousands of troops have made no progress, so that he is also resentful, of course, this resentment is naturally for Dolgon.
The words of the little emperor of Shunzhi made the Empress Dowager Zhuang Concubine Borgit Benbutai also tremble in his heart, a little surprised, her son is only eleven years old, once upon a time I have seen the emperor do such a sigh, these years the emperor has been concentrating on learning Manchu and Han studies, and has never cared about state affairs, but today these words suddenly popped out, which made her very surprised, it can be said to be shocked.
"The mourning family doesn't understand state affairs, and the ancestors have the law, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the mourning family is not good at talking nonsense! But the emperor, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, this is the destiny of heaven, the mourning family believes that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the Qing Dynasty to be immortal, at present, the Southern Ming Dynasty is only temporarily dominating, we have not yet lost, I believe that the regent will turn things around, the emperor, you are still young, some things are not so simple, if there is no regent to assist, you are the emperor is unstable, at least at the moment you are unstable, no matter what, the regent is still kind to you. Ben Butai also comforted Shunzhi a few words, his son is young, many things do not understand, do not know the fluctuations in the court, the current chaos, only the strong Dolgon can control the situation, if Dolgon does not do it, then the Qing Dynasty is really going to end, she is convinced of this, so she has been obedient to Dolgon all these years, and even did not hesitate to commit to Dolgon, just for the Qing Dynasty, for the throne of her son.
Shunzhi turned around, smiled slightly, and said to his mother Ben Butai: "I'm just complaining casually, you don't have to care about anything, the time is not early, the son won't disturb the queen mother's rest, and the son has retired!" ”
Shunzhi yawned, but also a little tired, for him, the future is uncertain, he can only take one step at a time, but he has a character in his bones that does not admit defeat, even if his mother says Dolgon well, but after all, he is the master of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was founded by his grandfather and father, Dolgon can assist him, but the premise is to make the Qing Dynasty stable, not turbulent.
Dolgon's mansion, Hauge's funeral has been disposed of, he had to take his mind back, concentrate on the court and the war in various places, for four or five days, Dolgon disposed of a mountain of official documents, but also to deal with the war in various places, the situation in Shandong is unfavorable, Hong Chengchou led tens of thousands of horses and horses are almost wiped out, even he himself is not known about life and death, only less than 20,000 people fled back, and now stationed in Dezhou, which is equivalent to giving up Jinan, Qingzhou and other places, and He Luohui led a large army is also no progress, In the middle of the Ming army, the grain road was cut off by the righteous army that swarmed from all over the country, Yanzhou City has become a dead game, whether Luck Dehun can survive or not, Dolgon no longer cares, what he cares about now is whether He Luohui can withdraw safely, at least not a big defeat, they can give up Shandong, and they can also hold Hebei.
In addition, Shanxi, Jiang Huang rebelled, so that the whole Shanxi surging, all over the country have announced the return to the Ming Dynasty, only less than ten cities are still in their hands, how long can it last, Dolgon does not know, even Shaanxi has been affected, originally the Ming army from Tongguan, Shangluo, Hanzhong direction to them again, to contain their military strength, now Shanxi rebellion, resulting in the situation in Shaanxi has become precarious, Shaanxi is also an uprising, the situation of the Qing Dynasty suddenly eroded to this, which Dolgon did not expect.
