Chapter 574: Dolgon's New Plan

The current situation is already very unfavorable for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as soon as Wu Sangui dies, the six gods of the Guanning army have no owner, if nothing else, they will definitely be used by Wang Zheng.

There is also Da Shun, who was heavily damaged in a stone, originally Dolgon wanted to use the hands of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui to contain and weaken the Qi army, but he was so stirred up by Abatai, and the weakened one became himself.

The loss of the Qi army was only the ordinary soldiers and horses left in Shanhaiguan, Wang Zheng took the 100,000 forbidden army, and the main force of 200,000 Nanjing, and so far Dolgon has not even seen face-to-face.

Even, Dolgon didn't even know exactly how many people Wang Zheng and Li Zicheng were, and that night, Dolgon called all the Hanchen in the army to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, Hong Chengchou, who should have been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in history, and Zu Dashou, due to the arrival of Wang Zheng, has already died in Jinzhou and Songshan Fort, and he can be regarded as a martyr of loyalty and bravery.

These Hanchens here, namely Zu Dale, Fan Wencheng, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, still have some brains and means.

Dolgon didn't actually want to hear their countermeasures, but he just felt that these minions were also Han Chinese, and they should be familiar with Li Zicheng and Wang Zheng, and wanted to hear their opinions.

But when everyone talked about it, they found that these people could still say something to Li Zicheng, but when it came to Wang Zheng's Qi army, they didn't know anything at all, and they were all confused.

Among them, the most "well-informed" is also Na Fan Wencheng, but what he knows is only limited to the area of Beizhili, and at most there are the original Shandong general Liu Zeqing, deputy chief Qiu Lei, etc., who still know a little.

But now these people have either disappeared, or they have been swallowed up and killed by Wang Zheng, and now those people in the Qi army, Fan Wencheng has basically never even heard of them.

The Ming Dynasty has always governed the military with literature, and the civil ministers led the army, like Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou.

However, there are many drawbacks in governing the military with culture, and everyone in Wenchen is inseparable from the party and government, and almost all belong to various parties, even shrewd people such as Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou have no way to stand alone.

Dorgon's brows furrowed as he listened to the discussion of the people below, and he was already impatient to the extreme:

"Mr. Fan, can you casually arrange a crime and let the Lu Jianguo of Nanjing get rid of Wang Zheng for us?"

Dolgon's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to repeat the old tricks, make full use of the internal party and government of the Ming Dynasty, and dump each other's drawbacks.

Since the founding of the country, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has encountered many enemies that have given them headaches, and each of these people has a way to block the Eight Banners Army, but as long as they use a little means, they are basically all defeated in the party struggle in the end.

So Dolgon wondered if he could use the same method to contain Wang Zheng, even if he couldn't get rid of him, it would be good for him to have to retreat.

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng asked with a difficult face, organized the language for a while, and then said:

"Back to the Regent, that... Wang Zheng holds the military and political power, and his position in the court of the Lu Jian State is actually the same as the status of the regent in the Qing Dynasty now, and his position is very stable... It's easier said than done to move to him..."

This was actually a bit presumptuous when he said this, but Dolgon didn't react when he heard it, and hummed lightly, without showing any disappointed expression, and asked again:

"Then according to Mr. Fan's meaning, how should I deal with myself now?"

Fan Wencheng didn't say anything for a long time, he could think of those methods to deal with civil officials, and it was useless to put them on this King of Qi.

Because Wang Zheng is now a family of his own, all the civil ministers and military generals in the Nanjing court are under his command, and even the court is abolished or stayed, which is also a matter of his words.

In fact, Dolgon was a little jealous of Li Zicheng.

Since this Li Zicheng can capture Beijing City at such a fast speed, the combat effectiveness of the Dashun army must not be low, and according to the spies, the strength of Dashun is claimed to be one million, which is more than five times that of the Qing army.

Dolgon did not know the real numbers, and could only guess by what these Hanchen knew about the enemy.

But the trouble is not only Li Zicheng, I don't know when a new force suddenly rose from Shandong, and it unified the entire Jiangnan like a storm, and a few days after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he supported the king of Lu in Nanjing.

This series of actions and the lessons of Hetuara once taught Dolgon that this Wang Zheng was actually more difficult to deal with than Li Zicheng.

Within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although Dolgon is now the same, after becoming this regent, he has encountered much more trouble than when he was Prince Rui.

Dolgon also encountered the problem of Chongzhen in the past, the following flags are basically afraid of their own forces and disobey the yang, the Mongolian Eight Banners because they are afraid of the strength of the Eight Banners Army, so they will send troops to assist, and the same is true for the North Korean side.

The Eight Banners Han Army felt that they were bannermen, but they were very loyal, but Geng Zhongming and Monk Kexi were not fools, and if the Eight Banners weakened, they would not necessarily make any amazing moves.

To put it bluntly, the submission of these people is actually based on the strong strength of the Qing army, but there is only so much for the Eight Banners Army, and it has already been defeated by Abatai for two banners, and if the rest of these are accidentally hit hard, it will be all over.

Whenever Dolgon wants to further centralize power, the two old immortal things of the left regent Daishan and the prince Zilharang will come out to obstruct them, and the power is not small.

If Wang Zheng had absolute authority in the Nanjing court, then Dolgon belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to occupy an advantage within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so as to balance the forces of all parties and give them enough benefits, and the conservative faction led by Prince Hauge of Su was still a big threat to him.

At this time, the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was staring closely at the Ming Dynasty in the south was because the hard days had been enough, and everyone ran out of the bitter cold and poor land of Baishan and Heishui, and if they didn't want to go back, they could only fight to the south with one heart.

In Dolgon's eyes, the Ming Dynasty occupies the rich land of Guangrou, but the strength is too weak, and the Eight Banners Army has sent troops into the customs several times, except for Abatai this time, they are all invincible, and they have plundered a large number of people and cattle and sheep.

This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the customs, and it is still unknown how long we will have to wait next time.

Besides, before Dolgon came out, the cowhide of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and his old lover Xiaozhuang had already been blown out, and the prestige would be lost all of a sudden.

Seeing that Fan Wencheng didn't speak, Dolgon also understood what he meant, so he didn't force him too much, and changed the topic:

"Right now, let Abatai go to fight Beijing, and let's take Shanhaiguan is the top priority."

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up, and he said that the regent was still the regent in the end, and he immediately found out the root of the crux, and he complimented:

"What the regent said is extremely true, at present, my Great Qing Dynasty has been defeated, and it is already weak to seize Beijing, but if I can take down Shanhaiguan, it is a good strategy to retreat and advance."

Like Huang Taiji, Dolgon both revered and liked Han culture, and often learned from those Jiangnan people to drink tea and read in the regent palace in Shengjing City, and he felt quite comfortable when he heard Fan Wencheng's words.

"Li Zicheng has a large area in the northwest and the Central Plains, Wang Zheng occupies the south of the Yangtze River, and the land is no less than my Qing Dynasty, but the minister has a belly case, I don't know if to say it......"

After hearing what Fan Wencheng said, Dolgon smiled:

"Mr. Fan has something to say quickly, and this king listens to him."

"To deal with Wang Zheng, we have to rely on his old rival Li Zicheng, although they have formed an alliance in a stone, but this is not long-lasting, and it is not reliable, as long as our Qing army withdraws from Gyeonggi, they will definitely be exposed in their true form, and a dog-eat-dog drama will be staged."

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"At that time, the main force of our Eighth Banner Army will take Shanhaiguan, enter the Central Plains, retreat to defend the pass, stabilize the situation, and wait for the opportunity to enter the customs again, which is already the best policy."

As he spoke, Fan Wencheng looked at Dolgon's eyes staring at him, and his heart was very nervous.

Although the person in front of him is also a barbarian, his heart is extremely meticulous, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a worse fate than Wu Sangui.
