Liu Quan gave up the weapon workshop in exchange for Liu Suifeng to be appointed secretary of the military department. Fan Yongdou is the biggest beneficiary of the "Bird Gun Case". Both the Forestry Party and Ma Shiying, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, were aware of the crisis, and those who dared to disobey the reform of the household department were only afraid that they would be unlucky.

The handover of the weapons workshop between the Liu family and the Fan family was very simple, and the craftsmen were still busy with their work day and day, but the owner changed. Fan Yongdou worked hard to ensure a smooth handover, with the same salary and working hours.

At the end of May, Xiao Zhiyan and Jin Shenghuan of the Huguang Army, Li Laiheng of the Luzhou Army, Feng Qin and Li Zhi'an of the Huaiyang Army, and Shi Fu, the commander of the Chongming Island Naval Division, came to Nanjing to discuss the matter, and then returned to their original places, and the Jiangnan and Huguang soldiers gathered again and headed north.

The secret agents traveled north day and night to send the news of the movement of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing.

Huaiyang faced the most powerful army of the Ming court and gathered the elite of the Qing court, in order to prevent Ao Bai and other generals of the two yellow flags from taking advantage of his absence to monopolize the military power, before Dolgon returned to Beijing, the military power was divided into four parts, and Ao Bai could only lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

Compared with the increasing prosperity of Nanjing, the city of Beijing looks solemn and deserted. The people and soldiers on the street were listless, and they did not dare to show the slightest joy when they met each other.

Before he arrived in Beijing, the imperial court knew the outcome of the Battle of Hetao, and the Modong coalition army was almost completely annihilated.

The Queen Mother's father's funeral is also a mourning event. Of course, people with a little insight in the court began to worry about the fire in the backyard of Liaodong.

As soon as he entered the city of Beijing, he was thrown into a prison where Hauge once lived. He didn't see anyone he wanted to see.

The news from the steppes and border passes is getting more and more tense.

Several important officials of the Eight Banners gathered in the palace, and Zilharang, Daishan, and Dorgon stood there, speculating on each other's thoughts.

Da Yu'er's eyes were red and swollen, her expression was sluggish, and she still had to support herself to preside over the overall situation. After the defeat of the grassland, the forces of Shangsanqi suffered heavy losses, and she lost the support from her mother's family.

The atmosphere in Cining Palace was depressing.

Dolgon's eyes stared grimly.

There is a picture of a landscape hanging on the wall, and the smoke curling from the field is unknown. His knowledge of Han culture comes from several novels such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the face of these people, he didn't want to speak, and there was no need to speak.

Zilharan looked down at the ground.

Dai Shan's eyes narrowed, as if he was a little dozing, he was indeed very old, and he had a serious illness last winter and has not yet recovered, if it were not for the Qing Dynasty and the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, he would not have come out.

Before coming to Cining Palace, a fierce dispute had broken out between the three of them.

This piece of ice was finally broken by the Queen Mother.

Da Yu'er opened her mouth and said softly: "Regent, you should tell a few princes about the current situation." ”

Dolgon was forced to helpless, and Shi Li said: "The current situation is indeed not good, and it is not without a chance to save it. After his victory at the Hetao, he led the Mongol coalition army into the Monan steppe. The Ming army's Zuo Ruo Department harassed and killed Hukou Pass, and I have ordered Nilan to lead his troops back to Shanxi and defend the Beijing Division. The soldiers and horses of the Ming court Jiangnan were gathering, but the Huaiyang and Fengyang defense lines were stable. Hong Chengchou confronted the Huguang army in Henan and did not fall behind. ”

Zilharang's face was flushed, he was steady, he could hold back his anger, and said slowly: "The Mongols have arrived in Zhangjiakou, and they will invade Shengjing soon, where are the defenders outside the pass to resist them?" ”

Dolgon replied: "The walls of Shengjing are high and the pools are deep, and the Mongols do not have the ability to capture the fortified city. ”

Dai Shan opened his eyes and coughed violently, but it took a long time to stop coughing, and interjected: "Guanwai is the origin of my Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I am nostalgic for the wealth in Guan, and I am afraid that I will die." ”

Dolgon was furious, regardless of Dai Shan's elders, and scolded: "Presumptuous, I founded the foundation from Taizu in the Qing Dynasty, and after the two generations of Taizong accumulated strength, it coincided with the great changes in the world to open up the current situation, do you want to be a sinner in my Qing Dynasty?" ”

His chest heaved and his eyes glared like brass bells.

Da Yu'er was in a troubled mood, and the court discussion was a quarrel. Some of the Eight Banners wanted to withdraw outside the pass, and Dorgon still had to insist on struggling to support it inside the pass. It's just that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty is like a house leaking everywhere. For example, the situation in Henan and Shengjing is like paper paste, and it is a big hole if you are not careful.

Looking at Dorgon's appearance, she knew that strong words would only add fuel to the fire, so she could only warn in the most peaceful words: "The regent must know that Shengjing must not be lost. ”

Dolgon was furious, and arched his hand: "Please rest assured, the Queen Mother, I can't capture Shengjing with a guarantee from my superiors." He was in power, and for the sake of the unity within the Eight Banners, he patiently consulted with Zilharang, who represented the three banners, and Daishan, who represented the two red flags. Unexpectedly, these two people were not only short-sighted, but also like stones in a pit, and they just wanted to retreat outside the gate.

Dolgon's eyes flickered, and murder loomed.

Da Yu'er's heart was cold, she knew this man too well. This man can endure it and go crazy, and hurriedly said in a conciliatory manner: "In this case, the affairs of the court and the central government will be entrusted to the regent." ”

Zierharang was surprised, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to suddenly compromise, and when he looked up, he saw that Da Yu'er was shaking her head at him gently.

The Lord Regent is not here to reason, this is a dangerous beast.

Jierharang understood what Da Yu'er meant, and said cautiously: "Although the Qing soldiers are brave, they are also unable to fight on all sides. After losing control of the steppe, the Ming army and the Mongols in Monan could directly threaten Shaanxi, Shanxi, and even Jingshi, and the prince might as well negotiate peace with Ezhe and promise him the status of the Great Khan of the Mongols. All he asked for was this, and he would not be willing to serve the Ming court. ”

In this way, the atmosphere eased, and the murderous intent in Dolgon's eyes subsided, and he replied: "I'm thinking about not being able to slash my Daqing Gege, if I negotiate peace, it will make my Daqing lose face in the grassland." ”

Dai Shan coughed a few more times and said, "Is face still so important now?" ”

Dorgon wanted to find a piece of cloth to gag the old man's mouth. He has his own opinions on the affairs of the DPRK and China, and it is just a matter of Zilharang to talk about it, Dai Shan has not been in charge for many years, and today's words are surprisingly much.

The court meeting finally ended in a peaceful atmosphere, the upper three flags gave in, and the two red flags gave in, but the rift between the eight flags had changed from the previous darkness to the light

Dorgon returned to the mansion under the escort of a group of armor soldiers.

The state affairs are difficult, he is no longer able to do it externally, and he has to convince those short-sighted rough people internally, and he is not a particularly patient person.

The residence of the regent of the Qing Dynasty was the most heavily guarded place in Beijing, surpassing the imperial palace.

He dismounted and returned to the mansion, where a soft-looking concubine came to take off his court clothes. This is a princess who has only been offered in North Korea, and she is obedient to men on weekdays.

The woman was about to hang up Dolgon's court robe in her hand, but she was fiercely stopped by Dolgon from behind. Before she could react, Dorgon rudely ripped off her pants and pressed her to the chair next to her.

She bit her lip tightly, not daring to scream, and her white hands clung to the chair to maintain her balance.

Dorgon gritted his teeth, venting his anger with one rough dash after another. In a trance at the last moment, the woman in front of her seemed to transform into the queen mother in the palace. He hasn't touched the Queen Mother for a long time, and the Queen Mother will only bear it like a dead man, and will not be as deliberate as a Korean princess.

A moment later, he let out a low roar like that of a lone wolf after it had been injured. In the past, nothing was left but emptiness.

The Korean princess held back her tears, turned around and straightened Dorgon's clothes, then packed up her own clothes, and left. Dorgon sat in his chair for a moment, then strode out the door.

In that instant, he figured it out. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Mongolia, as long as one party agrees to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, he can agree.

If you want to make peace, you have to provide what the other side needs.

The regent of the Ming court must have wanted to ascend to the throne, and after the peace was negotiated, Zhai Zhe could resolve the external crisis and concentrate on internal affairs. Moreover, he can cut the land of Huaiyang to the Ming Dynasty, and Shaanxi can also do it. One is where the Ming needs it, and the other is where the poor rabbit doesn't poop.

To Ezhe, he may only be able to recognize his status as the Great Khan of the Mongols. There are still several tribes in the steppe that have not surrendered, and as long as Ezhe agrees to negotiate peace, he can open a mutual market.

Dolgon didn't know which side to get a positive answer, so he had to do both, and he had to find a suitable messenger.

The news of the mobilization of troops and horses of the Ming court continued to send to Beijing, and judging from the current signs, the scale of the Ming army's war this year will not be smaller than last year.

Dolgon was worried, in recent years, the Ming army has fought more and more, and it has become stronger and stronger. After seeing the power of the self-fire gun, he actually had a trace of fear for the Ming army. Of course, he won't let anyone know.

On the one hand, he dispatched troops and generals to arrange defenses in Huaiyang and Henan, and on the other hand, he selected envoys among the courtiers.

It is easy to find the envoy who went to Mongolia to meet Ezhe, and there are many trustworthy Ezhen in Mongolia. The envoy sent to the Ming court really gave Dolgon a bit of a brainstorm.

That person must be familiar with the courtiers of the Ming court, and he will not disgust Zhai Zhe, and it is best to create a certain influence in Jiangnan.

He thought about it and picked a person - Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Qian Qianyi is Donglin Kui and is very famous in Jiangnan. Qian Qianyi's concubine, Liu Ru, fled from Nanjing to Beijing three years ago and is said to have some connection to the general's assassination. But Zhai Zheken let her out, it seems that the rumors may not be true, because some people related to the assassination case were later dealt with by the Ming court.

It is said that Qian Qianyi is very fond of Liu Ruyi. These two people are very well-connected in Jiangnan, and after arriving in Nanjing, they may be able to inquire about some of the inside stories and strategies of the Ming court. However, these two people are both from Nanzhili, will they not come back after arriving in Nanjing?

Dolgon quickly had an idea, let Qian Qianyi be the envoy, and Liuliu was in Beijing, so he could use the connections of the two of them, and at the same time remotely control Qian Qianyi not to act rashly.
