Chapter 658: Matters of the Heart

Controlling Bashu can strategically deter Guizhou, which is controlled by Liangguang, as well as Mu Wangfu in Yunnan, Mu Wangfu's attitude is still not clear, and the Manchu Qing sent people to contact Mu Wangfu, persuade him to surrender, and promised to let the Mu family continue to guard Yunnan for generations, and also promised that if Mu Wangfu sent troops to Guizhou, and Guizhou would also be classified as the Mu family's management.

This decision was made after Dolgon consulted with a group of ministers, Yungui is located in a remote area, it is actually difficult for the Manchus to control these places, in the current form, Zhang Xianzhong must be eliminated to enter Yungui, and the first task is to control Bashu.

Bashu is an area that the Manchus desperately want to control, and now Wu Sangui is sending troops to attack, which is actually not a good thing for the Manchus.

At this time, the troops of Liangguang could not be reduced, and the troops of Quanzhou could not be freed up, which caused a lot of trouble to Dolgon, and whether to fight or not to fight has become a matter that makes him very entangled.

If you want to quickly occupy Bashu after Wu Sangui enters Bashu, Azig's army must follow up now, otherwise with Wu Sangui's old scheming, once you gain a firm foothold, it will be difficult to take Bashu back from him.

Dolgon's thoughts, now the court also has its own ideas, for the three of their brothers to control the power of the army, if it is not for the Australia-Guangzhou coalition army is too strong, at this time Wu Sangui must have a team behind him.

In this situation, Wu Sangui naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to attack Bashu, for Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui was not enough to be afraid in his eyes, what was afraid was the Australians and the new army of Liangguang.

If the new army of Liangguang wanted to make a detour from Guizhou into Bashu, Zhang Xianzhong was really a little afraid.

As for Wu Sangui's release of wanting to fight Bashu, Zhang Xianzhong immediately accepted an interview with the office of Liangguang Daily in Chengdu.

Lao Zhang said that he would not be afraid of a big traitor like Wu Sangui, and he would eliminate harm for the people.

The newspaper reporter made a speech and rhetoric about Lao Zhang's remarks. When it is officially issued, it will be even more prominent.

For a while, the conflict between Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Sangui had been provoked by the reporters of the Liangguang Daily, and they all raised their eyebrows at each other, and they all said that they would kill each other, drink each other's blood, and eat each other's flesh.

For the behavior of the Liangguang Daily, Dolgon smiled and said nothing, this is obviously Shen Youlong and the Australians are doing ghosts in it, it seems that the Australians are also thinking about Bashu, once they control Bashu, it is equivalent to basically controlling Jiangnan for Liangguang.

At present, most of the area south of the Yangtze River is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and the first task of the Qing Dynasty to unify the world is to eliminate the two Guangzhous, but now it is different. Wu Sangui has a different heart, he wants to occupy Bashu and then sit on the ground with Daqing to ask for a price, how can this work.

If Wu Sangui succeeds in asking for a price, then wouldn't others follow him, what the Qing Dynasty wants is the entire Ming Dynasty, not a warlord who wants a separating force.

Obviously, Wu Sangui just wanted to be this warlord now, so they didn't plan to let him do it.

In fact, at this time, there were still some Eight Banners soldiers who stayed in the capital, and it was not impossible to be transferred to supervise Wu Sangui.

It's just that it wasn't so easy for Dorgon to convince the other bigwigs in the court, with Hauge's rise in the south. The right to speak in the DPRK is no longer something he can control, and he clearly feels this phenomenon.

The representatives of the old aristocracy, mainly Dai Shan, naturally would not agree to transfer the troops around the capital to the direction of Bashu, once the capital was empty. The Australians directly assaulted into the capital from the sea, so all the royal princes and nobles in the entire capital were not going to be served by the Australians.

So at this time, it is absolutely impossible to agree, even if it is to be transferred, it is necessary to transfer the green battalion soldiers to the war, but what is the combat effectiveness of the green shade battalion soldiers. And they know it, too.

Earlier this year, Dolgon proposed a plan to reform the Manchu army, which was to strengthen and expand the Eight Banners. The main force of the Eight Banners came from the Manchus, and the population of the Manchus was limited, and it was impossible to support this expansion all the time, so he beat the doctrine to the surrendered Ming army.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not good, some of them are still very effective, and he believes that as long as these people are incorporated into the Manchu Eight Banners, at least the current problem of insufficient soldiers can be solved.

After all, the number of Green Battalion soldiers is dozens of times that of the Eight Banners Army, and even if the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners is full, the pressure to fight against the entire Green Battalion is still very great.

After the military restructuring, some people entered the core layer of the Manchu army, so the problem is different, it is equivalent to a part of the people becoming the interest audience class, and the interest audience will naturally safeguard its own interests.

Dorgon's idea has to be said to be good, he is actually playing a policy of dividing the enemy, after dividing everyone, then the number of opponents will naturally decrease, and there will be no one to oppose their rule, and it will naturally be much more stable.

So on the whole, this method is good, but the old nobles will never agree, in the eyes of the old nobles who pay attention to pure blood, it is taboo to marry between Manchu and Han, and how can these people directly join the Manchu Eight Banners, so this is absolutely impossible to exist.

What Dolgon thinks, in fact, they all know in their hearts that the reason why Dolgon proposed this is entirely because he has taken a fancy to the Guanning Army, and he wants to incorporate the Guanning Army, the most effective force, into his own command and directly mix into the Eight Banners, so that Wu Sangui's problem can be solved smoothly.

It's just that how could these old nobles let him get his wish and solve Wu Sangui, then the strength of the two white flags has increased greatly, which is a threat to the other flags, and letting you expand is equivalent to weakening your own power.

Dolgon's idea must be to expand the Guanning army to his own two white flags, and if the other flags want to be replenished, they can only recruit people from those green battalion troops, where can these ordinary green battalion soldiers and the Guanning army.

So they resolutely disagreed, and Dolgon had no way to expand his troops, and this matter was put on hold, and now because Wu Sangui was going to attack Bashu, it was put on the table again because of the lack of troops, although Wu Sangui's attack on Bashu was what Dolgon did not want to see, but it was also an opportunity for him, if he could grasp the opportunity, he could not only successfully expand his own forces, but also weaken Wu Sangui's military power.

However, it must be very difficult to get out of this step, and Dolgon does not have enough troops to enter Bashu at present, and if this plan needs to be implemented, it must be transferred from Liangguang. (To be continued.) )
