The Han officials also felt the cold eyes of the regent, and everyone was sweating from the corners of their foreheads, but no one dared to raise their hands to wipe it.

Now the court will be divided into two classes of Manchu and Han, and the full class is full of clothes, arrow clothes, red tasseled hats, some decorated with peacock feathers, as well as horseshoe sleeves, and the hat of the prince of the county is also decorated with very precious Dongzhu.

But in any case, it cannot be compared with these surrendered Han officials.

Different from the usual black yarn mending clothes, in the formal court meeting, all the officials are wearing bright red or azure one-color official uniforms, wearing a beam crown of seven beams, five beams and three beams on their heads, with a single red curtain, holding a wat board, talking about the colorful and romantic, full of costumes, where can it be compared to one-tenth of this dress?

Seeing such a situation, although he was about to send a large army to fight, Dolgon did not have any happy emotions in his heart, his eyes were cold and full of murderous aura, and he said in his heart: "These Han Nanguan have a very different heart from me, and they do not learn the customs of this dynasty, and they will change sooner or later in the future!" ”

In his heart, he also gave himself a clear deadline, so he pressed these redundant and redundant emotions for the time being, and strode back to the temple again.

"This king has decided!"

Facing the kings, Baylor, the ministers, and Dolgon said word by word: "The army is divided into two ways, one is led by the British King Azig, in addition to the Eight Banners, and then the Pingxi King Wu Sangui, the Zhishun King Shang Kexi and other troops and horses, oh, and Hong Chengchou led an army by himself, and was also controlled by the British king, and the army, from the Bauhinia Pass to the Great Equal, attacked the thieves' nest in northern Shaanxi and other places, and then continued to the south to attack Xi'an. ”

Under his order, the short and brutal Azig stood up first, then his various capitals and Zhang Jing, and then the young and heroic Wu Sangui, who was quite decrepit.

And Hong Chengchou originally had a contemplative look, but at this time, he also hurriedly stepped forward, deliberately showing some joy between his eyebrows.

Seeing him like this, Dolgon's face was gloomy, but he nodded slightly.

In the face of Dolgon, everyone once again bent their knees and said in unison: "Wait for the command!" ”

"All the way, led by Prince Yu Duoduo, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, lead the Gongshun King Kong Youde, the Huaishun King Geng Zhongming and other troops to exterminate the Southern Ming!"

"Wait for the order!"

Yu Wang Duoduo, British King Azig, these are the brothers of King Rui, the remnants of Li Zicheng in the west and the Ming Dynasty in the south, naturally these two brothers led the army, which is just right.

These two lines of soldiers and horses, together with the Mongol and Han armies, can be imagined that the number of British kings along the way is slightly larger, about 70,000 or 80,000. And the king of Yu this way, the number is slightly smaller, the strength of the Qing army is now these, in addition to leaving half of the Eight Banners soldiers and horses to guard the capital division, and all the way to lead Fu Lin from Shenyang to the south, there are many soldiers and horses guarding along the way.

In fact, the main force of the Eight Banners, ninety percent has entered the customs, and there are very few real elites of the Eight Banners left in the pass, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Sauron and Oroqen tribes are stationed in various places.

"Okay, that's it, the three inner courts and all the ministries are preparing together, before October, the conscription officials, generals, and assistants must be trained and prepared for the expedition, and the household department and the military department must ensure that the grain and grass are prepared, transported, and delay the military aircraft, and the regent will not be spared!"

In the long career of Baylor and the prince, Dolgon has taken on many heavy responsibilities, in the battle of Jinzhou, he is the commander of the enemy, several times during the Chongzhen years, Dolgon is the main general, and so on Huang Taiji died, he is the auxiliary king of the Qing Dynasty, and then to the current uncle regent, long-term uphold of the national government, authority in hand, order forbidden, under his coercion, everyone is nervous and afraid, trembling and trembling, and after Dolgon's words are finished, everyone present is half kneeling down, and replied in unison: "Yes, The ministers obey the regent's edict! ”

………… After such an unusual court meeting, the two matters of Li Zicheng and Nanming were conclusive.

In June, Dolgon's attitude was different.

In Hong Chengchou's view at that time, Li Zicheng was the most urgent enemy, although in terms of territory, the Ming Dynasty still had Nanjing, the accompanying capital, with complete local government affairs, as well as a complete southeast half of the wall, as well as two million strong soldiers on the roster.

But Fan Wencheng may not know everything, but Hong Chengchou knows that Nanming is weak, and all matters such as military, political and financial affairs are lost, Chongzhen has no way before, how can he have a trick to rejuvenate afterwards?

As long as you stretch out your fist and completely beat Li Zicheng, the matter in the south is just a city in Nanjing!

Under Nanjing, the southeast half of the wall is flat!

"Lao Hong, what are you thinking?"

The court meeting has ended, the ministers have dispersed one after another, the Manchu people live in the inner city, the flags were also demarcated at that time, and the boundaries are clear, as soon as the court meeting is over, they will be according to the area where the flag lives, roaring away.

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan are both Han military banners, and they are veterans who have served for many years, so they don't have to live in the outer city like ordinary Han officials, on the contrary, their residences are very close to the imperial city, and it is very convenient to come and go.

Out of the forbidden range of the palace, I saw Hong Chengchou from a distance, surrounded by several handsome servants, straddling on a horse, and walking gloomily under the guidance of the lantern.

At this court meeting, the regent did not call anyone to speak, but issued a royal order and dispatched troops. At the slightest order, the entire Qing court would spin like a wheel, and in such an atmosphere, it was a bit like the situation when it set out from Shengjing a few months ago.

At that time, except for the regent and a few people, the Eight Banners did not have too much confidence.

In fact, it was Dolgon, at the beginning of entering Beijing, there were times when he was shaken and weakened, that is, a while ago, Hong Chengchou advised the shaving order, which must have made the shaved southerners have different aspirations, and when they hear about it, they will have doubts and hinder unification.

And Dolgon replied: "If you can get an inch, you will have an inch, and a foot will be an extra foot, so why talk about unification!" ”

On the basis of these two answers, it can be seen that the Qing Dynasty had a lot of confidence in entering the customs, because they had broken through the customs several times, were very familiar with the situation in the north, and also had a sense of intransigence in capturing Yanjing and becoming the lord of the north.

As for the unification of the whole country, from Dolgon to the ordinary bannermen, there was no confidence.

China is so big that they are most afraid, and who knows what the situation is in the south?

However, there is only a little more than a month apart, and the confidence of the entire Eight Banners is inflated, among which, Nanjing's lack of progress and inaction should be the main reason.

The Ming Dynasty was ill, Hong Chengchou was too clear!

But it is clear that now that the troops are divided into the south, under the premise that the Ming Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack, he took the initiative to provoke, and there are still strong enemies in the west...... How stupid it is!

Of course, he was not aware of the military, government, finance, and taxation reforms in Nanjing, and he was also unaware of the subtle changes caused by the donation of officials. But in any case, Dolgon's current strategy of dividing the troops, in Hong Chengchou's opinion, is very stupid, and it is simply to make people laugh out of their big teeth.

The British king only had 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers on hand, including Tang Tong, Jiang Xiang and other troops, at most 70,000 or 80,000 people.

King Yu's subordinates will not exceed 60,000, and more than 100,000.

In addition to these two kings, the soldiers and horses that can go to the south of Jinan and the north of Henan are very limited, and the area of Shandong is like a vacuum, if the Ming army's northern expedition goes straight to Shandong and Henan, I don't know what to block, now the two sides are safe, and the king of Yu goes south, everything goes well, if there are twists and turns, Azig will fight another defeat in the west...... is full of this kind of thought, if Hong Chengchou can smile with a smile, it would be strange.

It's a pity that in the heart of the Nine Kings, he is still just a demoted official...... "Lao Hong, Lao Hong!" ”

Ning Wan is not like Fan Wencheng, who is usually very polite when interacting with Hong Chengchou, but at this time he shouted, and when he saw that the other party should not, he raised his voice again and shouted loudly.

"Oh, it's Mr. Ning!"

Hong Chengchou was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng, the two scholars, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand on the horse, and said with a smile: "Old Yue! ”

After finishing with me, Hong Chengchou had no personal relationship, and he made a big grin in the direction, which also made Hong Chengchou very disgusted.

The names are very different, but they are also smiling and very affectionate.

"Ninth Elder, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Fan Wencheng's expression is also very modest, today is the Great Imperial Meeting, that is, he and Ning Wan me, as well as the generals under the Zhengbai banner, have a meeting together, and then he personally advises Dolgon that the matter of the Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition is a foregone conclusion.

In a few months, he has a sufficient understanding of the incompetence and weakness of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the army entered the city, and the surrenderers were like clouds, not only the current officials surrendered, but also those who had been dismissed before were also called out to be officials, all the way into the customs, in addition to fighting a battle with Li Zicheng in Shanhaiguan, Yanjing and the north of Ji, the south of Jinan, and the northeast half of Shandong, and the Beijing division all the way to Shanxi, the local officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty almost fell in despair.

According to his conversations with many demoted officials, he also has a deeper understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

The army is weak and unable to fight, the officials have their own scheming, unwilling to be loyal, the finances are a complete mess, a while ago, Dolgon went to the household department to collect the financial and tax account books of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasty, but the result was nothing, there is no record of taking the shot.

Later, there was no choice but to take out the tax booklet in the Wanli period and use it as a basis to collect taxes.

In such a dynasty, how can there be a reason for immortality?

There is no doubt that the destiny of heaven is clear.

Isn't it a very stupid act to shrink from Gyeonggi at this time and let the opponent improve himself?

Therefore, he is also very vigilant and suspicious of Hong Chengchou's caution in the matter of the southern expedition. In addition, the matter of shaving hair, many southern officials oppose this matter, and the resistance of officials from the north is not so strong, although Hong Chengchou has been down for a long time, but after all, he is a southerner!

Han officials, too, should be divided into north and south!

This dynasty entered from outside the customs, except for the Eight Banners, the appointment of Han officials is inevitable, and the use of southern officials or northern Han'er is very worth paying attention to.

If the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty, that is, what Donglin Eunuch Party, is directly divided into the dispute between the north and the south, and the imperial court controls the south from the north, wouldn't it be very convenient?

In this matter, Fan Wencheng has discussed with Ning Wan and me many times, and Ning Wan and I came forward to directly support Feng Quan among the northerners as a scholar, and gradually reuse the northern officials, open a department to get scholars, and also take more northerners!

What Donglin eunuch party, after the Qing Dynasty, there is no such saying!
