Fang Yuan strictly ordered the Manchus to hand over the banner owners and officials who belonged to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, along with the state letters of their families and clansmen, and sent them to Shengjing.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The two auxiliary ministers of Zilharang and Duoduo were taken aback, and immediately summoned all the banner owners of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Han to come to the meeting, and because of the importance of the matter, the emperor Dorgon, who had been sick in bed for a year, was also carried to the council hall.

Zierharang and Duoduo first circulated the national letter of the Ming Dynasty to everyone, and the various banner owners of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners had different reactions.

The banner owner of the Manchu Eight Banners was filled with righteous indignation, which was a great shame that had never been seen since the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Surrender is not simply a retreat from the Manchu Qing to the Ming Dynasty, but surrender!

The banner owner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and they were clear about the fate of Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's gang before. This time, Fang Yuan's butcher's knife fell on their heads again, but it was still the death of the whole family and the whole clan, who was not frightened?

Dolgon, on the other hand, coughed incessantly, silently, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

After a long period of embarrassing silence, Zilharang spoke first, "I said earlier that the Ming Dynasty is a wolf's ambition, but His Majesty wants to go to negotiate peace with Fang Yuan, and what kind of Liaohe River is the boundary, resulting in today's catastrophe!" ”

He directly pointed the finger at Dolgon, and at this time there was also infighting, and Zilharang's purpose could not be clearer, that is, to force Dolgon to abdicate. Even with some selfishness, it would be best if he could make Dorgon angry to death.

Duoduo, who represented the two White Flag forces, angrily rebuked, "Zilharang, you are really a wicked person who sues first. At the beginning, His Majesty was going to gather heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Barbarians in Quang Ninh, were you the ones who were cowardly? Later, you negotiated peace with the Southern Barbarians privately behind Your Majesty's back, aren't you? Well, now that the tiger is in trouble, the southern barbarians have torn up the peace treaty, you don't talk about how to withdraw from the army to resist the enemy, you are still fighting in the house, and you will splash all the dirty water on your majesty's head, you are simply a chaotic minister and thief! ”

Zilharang confronted him and said, "Okay! If you want to settle the account, I will settle the two white flags with you! In the battle of Shandong, Fang Yuanmao had not yet grown up, who supported the army without fighting and gave Fang Yuan the opportunity to win the victory in Shandong? In the battle of Liaodong, Fang Yuan's lone army went deep, and he had been trapped and killed in Liaodong by the emperor. Also, under Shanhaiguan, who gave Shang Kexi these southern barbarians to Fang Yuan? ”

"There have been rumors in Shengjing for a long time, Fang Yuan once boasted to Fan Yongdou, a Jin merchant, and His Majesty are brothers who worship the son, and now it seems that this statement is also true!"

The two did not talk about how to solve the crisis, but turned over old accounts, and Sony was busy playing a round and said, "Enough!" Don't fight! Or how to reply to the words of the Southern Barbarians? ”

As soon as they had spoken of business, Zilharan and Duoduo sat back in a huff, and although their faces were full of anger, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent, and they no longer spoke too much.

Because Fang Yuan's move was indeed the first army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fang Yuan's lion opened his mouth, making it clear that he wanted the Manchus to make a choice, either to hand over people, or to go to war between the two sides.

If it is handed over, it will completely lose the support of the Han people in Liaodong, and it is strange that a million Manchu people who are still fishing and hunting for a living can defend Liaodong.

If there is another war with the Ming Dynasty, the odds of victory will not matter for the time being. Defeated, everything was over, and the Manchus were completely beaten back to their original shape. Even if it wins, the Ming Dynasty, which has solved the internal and external troubles, will continue to gather war resources outside the border. With a corner of Liaodong, it is impossible to have a long-term confrontation with the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, it's just the difference between a quick death and a slow death!

When it comes to the life and death of millions of people, Zilharang, Duoduo, and even Sony, are happy on weekdays, and they can't wait to monopolize power. At the moment of life and death, who dares to pat his chest to be the master? By avoiding the answer, they are shirking the responsibility of the Auxiliary Minister.

Sonny looked at the two silent auxiliary ministers, his old face sighed, and he could only ask Emperor Dolgon for advice, "Your Majesty, what do you think?!" ”

Dolgon, who had been silent and was a bystander, coughed violently, gasped violently, shook his head, and said, "Sony, you stay alone, I have something to say to you." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Dolgon was doing, and what he had to say to Sonny, a loyal minister of the two yellow flags. But he still followed his instructions and withdrew from the council hall.

Sonny sat down in front of the dragon couch and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please make it clear." ”

Dolgon propped himself up and stared straight at Sony, "Sony, do you think that our Qing Dynasty still has the strength to fight with the Ming Dynasty?!" ”

In all fairness, Sony also saw a world of difference in the economic and war potential between the Manchu and pre-Ming dynasties. Since the two of them have a private relationship, there is no need to pretend, and said truthfully, "No, if the war falls into a protracted war, it will be impossible for my Qing Dynasty to consume the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely die!" ”

Dolgon nodded and said, "Therefore, it must be consumed, and it is the best strategy to force the Ming army to fight a decisive battle." I have repeatedly made a desperate bet and inflicted heavy losses on the Ming army, just to defeat Fang Yuan's main force, maybe to make the Ming Dynasty fall into division again, and fight for a ray of life for my Qing Dynasty. ”

Sony was strongly opposed to the all-or-nothing bet before, but now it seems that he didn't dare to make a desperate bet, in exchange for Fang Yuan's step-by-step pressing, boiling the frog in warm water, and said ashamedly, "Your Majesty, although the minister is against you, I still have to admire your determination and courage, and the minister is absolutely impossible!" ”

Dolgon asked again, "Let me ask you again, Fang Yuan has been struggling again and again, what is his purpose?!" ”

Sonny lowered his gaze and said, "Fang Yuan will never stop at the Liaohe River, he wants to recover Liaodong!" ”

Dorgon shook his head and said, "No, Fang Yuan's ambitions are much more than that! He wants to exterminate my Qing Dynasty and exterminate the Jurchens! ”

Sony was shocked when he heard this, which obviously exceeded his previous expectations. He originally estimated that the worst result would be nothing more than to retreat to Jianzhou before the Battle of Salhu, and give up Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty would not be wiped out again. However, when he heard Dolgon say that Fang Yuan's purpose was to exterminate the Jurchens, his shock was beyond measure.

Sonny said in a trembling voice, "This, this, we Jurchens have been born in Liaodong for generations, and he really wants to exterminate us?" ”

Dolgon said, "Fang Yuan harassed me several times, and slaughtered my Jurchens without asking the reason, his mind is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. The Jurchens have reached the point of life and death, and you must not have any luck! ”

Sony's face was like death when he heard it, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, if he wanted to exterminate the Jurchens, it would not be empty words. At least Fang Yuan invaded several times, and the number of Jurchens slaughtered was at least 300,000 or 400,000. 300,000 or 400,000 killed, is it far from a million people?

Sonny said in a panic, "Your Majesty, what should we do?!" ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Dolgon coughed so much that the whole dragon couch was trembling, and his whole body trembled, "Before, I ordered to gather the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han and Mongolian Banners to fight a decisive battle with Fang Yuan in Guangning, but you didn't listen!" Now, I will order again, you honestly hand over the banner master of the Han Eight Banners, do you listen?! ”

Seeing that Dorgon's attitude had turned a hundred and eighty degrees, Sonny exclaimed, "This, this, didn't Your Majesty insist on a decisive battle?" ”

Dolgon's face turned pale and gasped, "A year or two ago, I mistakenly thought that under the strong Ming army, the Eight Banners would unite with the outside world, and maybe there would be a chance to win. Now, I know that the Eight Banners are each with their own ghosts, but the Ming Army is a monolith, and if you go hard, it will be self-defeating! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Sonny was out of breath, and it was estimated that the deadline was approaching, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, after handing over the Han Eight Banner Banner, Fang Yuan still wants to attack Liaodong!" ”

Dolgon had run out of oil, and lay down with his eyes closed, "I understand Fang Yuan, the only chance for the Jurchens to survive is to give up any resistance, let him fight and kill, he may be merciful!" ”

His lips squirmed slightly, and he continued, "Sony, I can only protect Daqing so far. Next, the Great Qing Dynasty will be handed over to you! ”

Sonny and Dorgon have been fighting for so many years, and before he died, he was the one Dolgon entrusted to him.

Sonny couldn't help but burst into tears, "Your Majesty! ”

Dolgon's anger was like a gossamer, and his voice was like a mosquito whispering, "I have lived to the fullest, and the thing I regret is that I let Fang Yuan go in Liaodong because of my ambition. I'm right, I'm sorry, Emperor. Yes, I'm sorry, Daqing ....."

His voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally fell silent.

"Your Majesty!"

Sonny threw himself on Dorgon's body, crying.
