The temporary united front within the Manchus was only superficial, but in fact they were still working on their own agendas, and even if Dolgon generously ceded some of his interests, it would only allow those opponents to temporarily shut up, but it was almost impossible for them to completely stand on the same line as themselves.

The Eight Banners were mainly derived from the Manchus and some of the allied Mongols and the early Han Chinese, all of whom established the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, as well as the Han Eight Banners, which were the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's rule over the world.

Without these three forces, the rule of the Manchu Qing would have collapsed, after all, his own population was limited, and if he wanted to rule such a large area of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be possible to rely on the early force alone.

Not long after entering the customs, Dolgon introduced a series of policies in favor of the gentry, although these policies were relatively not very good, but they were still very good for teachers and students, and he did rely on this policy to gain a lot of support.

But after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not yet unified the whole country, and the Liangguang regime in the south was constantly at war with him, and the number of small-scale battles between the two sides was counted in the hundreds, but there was not a single large-scale battle.

According to the report, the Australian side knew of Dolgon's plan, and there have been negotiations between Dolgon and Hauge recently, and the focus of the negotiations between the two sides is around Bashu and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army.

Dolgon wants to expand and restructure the army, but the old nobles don't support it, Hauge doesn't support it on the surface, but in fact, he also wants to reform the system, and he loses more than half of the troops in the next two years, and it is already a little difficult to replenish the soldiers of his own clan who can fight, so most of the time they will send green battalion soldiers to act as cannon fodder first.

But even so, there are still a lot of troops lost in every war, and sooner or later it is not a way to go on like this, so they are all thinking about this problem.

When Dolgon proposed to mix the strong soldiers in the Green Battalion into the Eight Banners and give them the treatment of the bannermen, he was opposed by many people.

After all, the Banner Man is the existence of first-class privileges, once there are more people. It also means that there will be more benefit sharers, so some people are naturally unwilling, thinking that they will share part of the benefits they have earned so hard to others.

If you don't share part of the benefits, then it will be difficult to replenish the troops, the current form is that there are millions of troops on the face of Manqing, but the people who can really fight are actually about 100,000 people, and these green battalion soldiers will turn back at any time.

Take Wu Sangui as an example. This guy is clearly going to rebel at any time, don't look at him now fighting with Zhang Xianzhong, but what he has in mind is another purpose, the purpose is to replace Zhang Xianzhong, and then he occupies Ba Shu, in an attempt to take Yungui, and then he can force Liangguang, and can become allies with him.

It's a good plan, this guy is very calculating. This time, he decided to do this, but how could Dolgon let him do this, so the solution at present was to send a team of warlords with comparable strength to follow Wu Sangui. This guy didn't dare to mess around.

It's just that there is a shortage of troops now, and if you want to solve this problem, you must first have troops, so Dolgon and Hauge started negotiations, and both sides made their own opinions on the current form.

Hauge was actually in favor of the expansion of the army. It's just that the supporters behind him may not think so, of course, it will take a lot of effort to convince them, and the most important of them is the distribution of benefits.

on the distribution of benefits. If we can achieve unity, there will be no other problems, but it is actually very difficult to solve the problem in this distribution. But in general, if the two largest forces within the Manchus had reached an agreement, the solution would have been relatively simpler, and that was the only thing the two of them could see at the moment.

Hauge wants to get a piece of the situation on the issue of the Guanning Army, this is his request, and at the same time he has to return to the court, and the weapons imported from Australia must also be allocated to his troops for use, he is fighting against the Australia-Guangzhou Alliance, what kind of existence is that, but the existence of superior force, how can he do without these sufficient interests.

In fact, on the issue of allocating Australian weapons, Dolgon is more in favor, after all, it is not possible to let Hauge deal with the Australian-Canton coalition army without powerful firearms, and it is also related to the unified battle plan of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan.

The main problem is still the Guanning army, if the Guanning army is divided into half to him, then there is not much advantage, now that the Australian weapons are broken, all rely on the firearms factories outside the customs to manufacture weapons, and Haoge can also use them.

In addition to a part of Guan Ningjun's army to him, it is not really an equal to himself, this is not the key, the key is that if this continues, Dorgon's status will naturally not be as high as before.

So this is the main reason why the two are currently unsuccessful in negotiations, Australia has obtained this information and is ready to use it, although Wu Sangui is more annoying, but the Guan Ning army under his command is indeed much stronger than the ordinary Ming army.

Once this force is directly incorporated into the Eight Banners Army, it means that the strength of Dolgon and Hauge will be improved, and it will be nothing to the point where it is not promoted, but I am afraid that if the battle between the two of them reaches an agreement and unifies the south, then the pressure on Australia and Liangguang will be very great.

So the intelligence agents deliberately leaked this news to Wu Sangui to let him know what Dolgon and Hauge were thinking, and they were planning to annex his Guanning army.

Wu Sangui was desperately fighting with Zhang Xianzhong's troops on the front line at this time, after a battle he occupied a certain advantage, it was only a matter of time to attack Bashu, when he received this news, he began to think about the current situation, and the problem came immediately.

If he reached an agreement with Hauge at this time, he would actually be affected in the end, and the Australians in Liangguang were still increasing their troops, and they would not be affected much, and he might be relieved of his military power, and the Guanning army would be dismembered smoothly.

Thinking of the dismemberment of military power, Wu Sangui's heart trembled a little, without military power, it is not a mermaid, Dolgon and Hauge are not good people, they will definitely find various reasons to set their own guilt and behead themselves, even if they don't kill themselves, I'm afraid they will be quiet.

Wu Sangui of the Emperor of Xiaoxiong I could not live such a life, he immediately began his own deployment, on the one hand to pay attention to the progress of the negotiations between Dolgon and Haoge, on the other hand, to speed up the attack on Bashu, and at the same time to prepare for the recruitment of troops, when things change, he is ready to raise the banner on the spot.
