As soon as these words were spoken, Dolgon and Mandahai changed color at the same time.

Dolgon was calm and sat still, but Man Dahai stood up suddenly, his thick eyebrows were upside down, his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife suddenly, his face was full of anger, and he said: "Hong Xiang, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his sleeves, stood up calmly, bowed deeply to Dolgon, and said solemnly: "Hong knows!" But Hong must say that he thinks that the Qing Dynasty is ten thousand years! ”

Man Dahai sneered and said angrily: "What a plan for the Qing Dynasty!" Hong Xiang, you also know that in order to enter the Guannai, from Emperor Taizu to the present, how many of my Jurchen scholars have sacrificed their lives to become benevolent, and how many sons and daughters have died in a foreign land, and they can't even transport their bones back, so they have taken this splendid country, and you want us to retreat outside the customs with a word! How sloppy, how ridiculous! ”

He took a step forward and was imposing: "If you can't make a sense today, I'll ......"

Before he could utter the cruel words, Dorgon reached out and grabbed his hand holding the knife, so that he could not move.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were clear, as if he was not frightened by the water, and the mountains did not move, quietly maintaining a posture of contrivance, staring at Dolgon, not moving at all.

"If the regent wants to kill me, please wait until I finish speaking, and it's not too late to kill me."

Dolgon took a breath, pulled Mandahai, and shouted, "Presumptuous! How could he be so rude to Hong Xiang! Hong Xiang is the person trusted by this king, even if everyone in the world betrays us, Hong Xiang will never sit down! Hugh is going to be brutal! ”

Man Dahai sat down angrily, deliberately moved his body away a little, and moved away from Hong Chengchou.

Dolgon said to Hong Chengchou again: "Hong Xiang, don't be too careful, sit down and talk!" ”

Hong Chengchou thanked slightly, sat down slowly, and ignored Man Dahai's gaze staring at him who was about to eat people, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Regent!" Originally, Hong thought about it for a long time, and had been hesitating, whether he should give this advice to the prince, which was a big rebellion, it was to ignore the blood of thousands of Jianzhou athletes for many years, abandon the family wealth obtained with great effort, and return to the bitter cold pass, not the words of the courtiers! ”

Dolgon waved his hand lightly: "The people of the territory, gold and silver, but things outside the body, I was able to live in Liaodong in the past, and I can do it in the future, Hong Xiang doesn't have to mind, please say it directly." ”

Hong Chengchou arched his hand: "The prince is humble and open, Hong is stingy!" ”

Then he continued: "The minister came from Shandong, all the way to see, there is no wolf smoke everywhere, there are people everywhere, Henan to the Daimyo Mansion, where there is no Eight Banners to garrison, it is the same as Jiangnan, chaotic, the officials dare not go out of the state, the county seat, let alone suppress bandits, even in their own army there are people in tandem anyway, how to talk about fighting?" The people in the Guannai, treat the Qing Dynasty like a flood beast, on the territory that is still in our hands, although people dare not express it openly, secretly, but everyone scolds, those county and state government courtyard walls, I don't know how many people's dung and horse feces are pasted. ”

"These rags! So bold! Man Dahai was furious, gritted his teeth and slapped the table: "Kill!" Kill them all! Kill them so that they don't dare to come again! Naturally, it's too peaceful~! ”

"There is a way to defend the people, more than to prevent Sichuan!" Hong Chengchou stretched out his hand to wipe away the spittle Xingzi that Man Dahai sprayed on his face: "Of course, killing can be peaceful for a while, but it can't be peaceful for a lifetime, the prince thinks carefully, since entering the customs, have we killed fewer people?" The head is rolling, can it be exchanged for the peace of the country? In exchange for the hearts and minds of the people? ”

Man Dahai was full of anger, still unconvinced, and wanted to argue, but Bedolgon glanced at him with disgust, and puffed out his cheeks and did not dare to make a sound.

Hong Chengchou regarded it as if he had nothing and continued to talk eloquently.

"It's a good way to keep braids, as long as you gain some time, the Hanmin in Guannai will naturally slowly surrender, and subtly get used to the Qing Dynasty, and no longer have memories of the old Ming. However, there is a key point here, and that is time. ”

"The forced implementation of easy clothing and braids will inevitably provoke resistance, but it doesn't matter, just suppress it, the longer the time, the better the effect, but in this process, we must maintain an overwhelming military advantage, once we can't suppress it, it will backfire, like a thunder and fire descending into the world, uncontrollable."

"Originally, the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, like the setting sun, dying; Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others are thieves and cowards, and they are insignificant. In this world, according to our strategy when entering the customs, we fell into the bag step by step, and no one could stop it. ”

"However, there was a demon, this demon jumped out of the stone, born out of nowhere, without warning, inadvertently swept the southwest and northwest, and obtained a territory larger than the Ming Court, in fact, when Haoge was defeated from Sichuan, we should pay enough attention to extinguish this dark fire with the power of thunder, where is today's worry?"

Dolgon's face was solemn, he took a long breath, nodded and said: "Yes, if Wang Huan had attacked Hanzhong with heavy troops before entering Shaanxi, he would not have been allowed to develop comfortably to the point where he is today, speaking of which, this king was negligent!" ”

"The lord is worried about the death of the ministers, the prince does not have to blame himself, the ministers are guilty of dereliction of duty!" Hong Chengchou introspected bitterly: "Now that this is all over, this guy has become big, with a strong army in his hand, and a strange firearm that is a hundred times more powerful." With all due respect, the minister read the Tang newspaper and listened to the military news, and had an understanding of this battle, and with the current strength of the Qing army, he was fighting against this guy head-on, and the outcome was really unknown. ”

When Dolgon heard this, he laughed: "Hong Xiang is saving face for us, we know our own affairs, we really fight, if Wang Huan has enough gunpowder, we have no chance of winning." ”

Hong Chengchou raised his hand and took a deep look: "The prince is wise, and the ministers are impressed." ”

Dorgon waved his hand, "Go on!" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Easy to wear and braids, it is equivalent to sprinkling firewood all over the place in the pass, what is missing is a fire, this fire was originally crushed by us and couldn't burn, but Wang Huan burned it, he was this fire, and he was poured oil!" ”

"Dry firewood and fire, it will become a prairie fire in an instant, Lord Wang, we can't stay in the pass anymore, Beizhili is not an easy place to defend, unless you kill all the Han people, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will never have peace!"

"Retreat outside the border, but retreat is to advance, waiting for the future."

"The prince thinks about it carefully, no matter how powerful Wang Huan is, he is just an eagle and dog ear in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, unless he wants to rebel, he will always be in the hands of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't struggle at all."

"The Ming Dynasty is weak and corrupt, and the world can see it! No matter how good the general is, when he enters that big dye vat, it will not take long for him to grind away the corners of the tomb and return to mediocrity. If Wang Huan came out of the mud and was not stained, he was still so outstanding and unwilling to sink, then the bureaucrats would not let him go. ”

"The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. The party's routine of fighting against different parties is deeply ingrained in the Ming court, and no matter what great achievements you make in the society and loyal ministers of the country, as long as you don't follow my party all the way, we will impeach you, slander you, and make you ruined. ”

"Borrow the hand of the Ming court and get rid of this Wang Huan, why not? A temporary retreat can be exchanged for future glory, so what's not to do? ”

"What Hong said is sincere! Wang Ye Mingjian, if you think that what Hong said has half a sentence, please immediately push out the gate and cut off this head! ”

Hong Chengchou stood up, stood upright, walked to the big tent, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head.

There was silence in the tent, no one spoke, only the heavy breathing of a few people faintly heard in the ears.

"Hong Xiang, this king has you, such as the Zhang Zifang of the Han!" Half a sound, Dolgon's faint voice sounded slowly, he walked in front of Hong Chengchou, squatted down, and draped the big straps on Hong Chengchou's body, his words were sincere, and his movements were gentle, as if he was treating an unborn treasure.
