Chapter 520: Cutting Shu or Attacking Ming
Don't fight Gao Yihuan?
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, he had already thought about how to be ashamed of himself, and now he didn't fight Gao Yihuan?
Dorgon stood up from his wicker chair and waved his hand when he saw that Dorgon had something to say, "Don't say it. This king has made up his mind and will not change! ”
Duoduo's face turned red, and Dolgon still valued this younger brother very much after all, explaining: "Mandahai was killed, and Daishan wanted to punish you severely, but I stopped you and gave you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Because of this incident, Dai Shan was very dissatisfied with this king, and Kong Youde was killed, which dealt a huge blow to the prestige of our dynasty, and many people in the court were questioning this king. Now this king needs a big victory to stabilize the situation and suppress Hauge, Zilharang, and Daishan, can you understand? ”
Duoduo showed an embarrassed look on his face, knowing that his continuous failures made Dolgon feel uncertain, and he didn't dare to trouble Gao Yihuan, for fear of another defeat, which would lead to his resignation.
"I know, Gao Manzi has a hard idea, and he is not easy to fight! The regent is looking for a sure target this time! Dodor puffed.
In order to stabilize his position in the court, Dolgon is indeed ready to find a soft persimmon to pinch it, fight a big victory, obtain a large number of seizures, bring benefits to the Eight Banners, and stabilize his position in the court.
Dorgon needed to gain more prestige so that no one would dare to say anything about him if he killed Hauge, but that wasn't right now.
Dol rolled his head, "That's true, this king can't afford to lose anymore. ”
Duoduo was a little lost in his heart, when he evacuated from southern Henan to the north, he felt that as long as he withdrew, it would be more difficult to destroy Gao Yihuan in the future, and he didn't want to be hit by him.
In fact, Duoduo wanted to tell Dorgon that if Gao Yihuan was not removed, he would be a problem for my henchmen in the future, but he was not easy to speak.
Because of his three defeats, Dol rolled in the court under tremendous pressure.
The Qing court was not monolithic, and the struggle was quite fierce, and there were many political enemies of Dolgon, all waiting to see Dolgon's jokes, ready to pull him down at any time.
Now there are already people in the DPRK who are questioning Dolgon, and Duoduo is embarrassed to let Dolgon take risks, in case he hasn't beaten Gao Yihuan, so what can he do?
Dorgon didn't know what to do, so he couldn't ask Dorgon to take the risk.
For a moment, Duoduo was entangled for a while, and could only nod.
At this time, a guard suddenly came to report, "Master, Master Hong, they are here!" ”
When Dol heard this, he said to Duoduo and Azig, "Go, come with me to the council hall." ”
At that moment, the three of them left the courtyard and walked into a large hall, where several officials wearing black official robes and red-crowned hats immediately knelt down and saluted, "Meet the regent." ”
Dolgon waved his hand and asked them to get up, Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others thanked them, and saluted Azig and Duoduo before standing on both sides with their heads bowed and their hands down.
At this time, Dorgon sat down on the main seat, Dodor and Azig sat on both sides, and Hong Chengchou and the others stood respectfully, waiting for Dorgon to speak.
Dorgon took a sip of tea and touched his bare scalp before he spoke, "I called you here today for one thing. Now that the northern border troubles have been eliminated, the king no longer has any scruples, and is ready to send troops to the south after the autumn harvest. Do you think it's better to hit Sichuan first or Jiangnan first? ”
Dorgon had already revealed his meaning to the minions, so the minions had been prepared.
Fan Wencheng preemptively said: "Master, the slave thinks that attacking Jiangnan or Sichuan is two different strategies!" ”
In the Qing Dynasty, not every courtier was qualified to be a slave, and only those who were qualified, enlisted and favored were eligible. Others call themselves minions, and they all put gold in their faces.
As the first group of Han people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng has undoubtedly secured the position of a slave.
Dol rolled over to him, "What's the hurry, you can make it clear." ”
"Slaves obey!" Fan Wencheng snorted a thousand children, and said with a flattering smile: "Master, the slave thinks that attacking Jiangnan is a quick strategy, and the characteristic is that it is fast, as long as the army occupies Nanjing, the Southern Dynasty will be destroyed immediately." The army took Nanjing, destroyed the Southern Dynasty, paid taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, and with the courage of the Eight Banners, the Qing Dynasty will be irresistible. Attacking Sichuan is to follow the road of the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, this strategy is more secure, but it is more time-consuming and resource-consuming, so it is called slow! ”
Dolgon bowed slightly, touched his scalp again, and had already made a decision in his heart, and asked, "Do you think this king should attack Sichuan, or go down to Jiangnan first?" ”
Hong Chengchou opened his mouth at this time, "Regent, whether you attack Jiangnan first or Sichuan, you need to guard against Gao Yihuan in southern Henan. The minister thought that this Kou would not be destroyed, and whether he attacked Jiangnan first or Sichuan first, it would be difficult to achieve the goal. ”
Dolgon frowned slightly, "Don't consider Gao Yihuan nowadays, what this king wants to ask is, does this king have a good chance of winning against Sichuan, or has a good chance of winning against Jiangnan?" ”
Hong Chengchou knew Dolgon's calculations, but this kind of southern expedition for the sake of Dolgon's interests, rather than considering the overall situation, and proceeding from the interests of the Qing Dynasty, may be profitable in the short term, but in the long run, the benefits may outweigh the disadvantages.
"The thieves are based on the land of Tianfu in Sichuan, and now they have Hanzhong, if they are not destroyed as soon as possible, they may become a big disaster in the future. Now Shun will He Zhen, sacrifice the pass and vote, the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin gather in the Great Dispersion Pass, our dynasty can take advantage of the fact that the thief is not ready, kill into Hanzhong, and then seek Sichuan. The terrain of Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Sichuan is closed, and guarding the pass can prevent Gao Yihuan's interference. Once the army of Sichuan is in hand, it can follow the example of Jin to destroy Wu, Yuan to destroy Song, build down, attack Huguang, and finally take Nanjing! The minister thought this was the best policy. ”
Hong Chengchou paused and continued: "If there is no Gao Yihuan here, the minister thinks that he will take Jiangnan directly and take Nanjing, which will make the orthodoxy of the Southern Dynasty collapse, and all parts of the country will fall into division and separation, and then break through each one, which is not regarded as a good strategy, but with Gao Yihuan on the side, our army has worries and will be contained. If the army could not occupy Nanjing and capture Zhu Cihong, the minister thought that the situation was likely to evolve towards the Song and Jin confrontations. ”
Hong Chengchou expressed his thoughts, but he did not explicitly support which one, because he knew what Dolgon was thinking now.
What Dolgon wants is a victory, a large number of supplies, who is the best to bully, who is the best to fight, who is the soft persimmon, it is a self-evident thing.
I've been bullied for decades, and I've long found my feelings, and it's easy to get started.
Dolgon listened to Hong Chengchou's words and understood Hong Chengchou's tendency, he couldn't help frowning, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while.
