Fan Wencheng, as an important adviser to the regent of the imperial father, Dorgon, had many different opinions on Dorgon's decision-making to fight with the Ming Dynasty's Three Guards, but after several admonitions, Dolgon not only did not obey his words as usual, but also scolded him.

This made Fan Wencheng feel very neglected, but as a courtier, he couldn't do nothing, so he devoted himself to planning the plundering and transportation of military supplies. The main purpose of the Qing army was to plunder the goods and population of the Ming Dynasty.

Dolgon abandoned Fan Wencheng's strategic advice on military affairs, and still attached great importance to his planning for military supplies, so he could be regarded as making the best use of it.

Although Fan Wencheng once had a lot of criticism about Dorgon, he was also like a mirror, not because the attitude of his father regent had changed, but because his situation was different from what it used to be, and in the face of the importance of the DPRK and China, he needed a big victory to rebuild his prestige and consolidate his power.

Last night's sneak attack was very successful, the Qing army's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry took it by surprise and attacked it unprepared, and in one fell swoop entered the camp of the Three Guards, scattered one of them, and wounded thousands of Ming troops.

However, the significance of this small victory for the Qing army is by no means limited to this. The performance of the Three Guards in Korea was so shocking that many people could not help but feel fear when they heard in private that the Ming army fighting head-on with them was from the same army.

When soldiers fight, the brave have always won, and once the morale is withered first, it is often a harbinger of defeat.

The reason why Fan Wencheng has been admonishing Dorgon to use troops conservatively before is because of this joint. However, after Dolgon's small victory in the first battle, this concern was gradually broken, and the morale of the soldiers in the army was greatly improved, which gave Fan Wencheng hope that the Qing army was expected to restore the military might of Huang Taiji's reign.

To tell the truth, even Dolgon was confused, I don't know when the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was not the invincible army, and suffered heavy defeats again and again in Liaoxi and Korea, and the whole army was annihilated, and even the commander Yu Prince Duoduo became a prisoner of the Ming army.

Of these series of encounters, the most devastating blow to Dorgon was the capture and disability of his mother's brother Dordor in his mother's life.

In a tearful letter, Dorgon begged him to send someone to redeem him, but Dorgon ruthlessly refused the request. Duoduo was seriously wounded in the battle, and it is said that an entire thigh was sawed off by Langzhong of Korea, if Duoduo was allowed to return to Shengjing, the crippled leg, would not be an example of his failure, and he would always be ridiculed by the magnates?

Based on this consideration, Dolgon resolutely announced the news of Duoduo's death in battle, and resolutely refused to admit that the cripple in Korea was Duoduo, the prince of Yu.

It is conceivable how much pressure Dolgon faced after the blow to be able to face off against the public opinion and the Three Guards. Although the sneak attack was unsatisfactory, it was a victory after all, so it was used by him to hype up the morale of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty did restore its previous morale, clamoring to defeat the Ming army in one battle and break through the Beijing city wall again.

Dolgon did not seek to destroy the Ming Dynasty in a war, as long as he could drive Chongzhen down and help King Shen sit on the throne of the Forbidden City. There will inevitably be a split within the Ming Dynasty and it will be mired in an endless struggle for the throne. In this way, the Qing Dynasty could wait for an opportunity to seize greater benefits. However, he was also extremely wary of the cunning King Shen, and heard that most of this person's men had arrived in Changping.

……

Li Xin, the marquis of Zhenju, returned to the city of Beijing again, and all the officials who came into contact with him felt an aggressive murderous aura from him. At this time, the officials suddenly realized that the young and powerful official in front of them was the same person as the reckless horse thief from the foothills of Taihang Mountain.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister suggests that the decisive battle against the Qing army in two days must not be changed, and the emperor will fight here!"

When Li Xin said word by word, the crown prince Zhu Cihong couldn't help but shake his right hand, and the brush was unstable and made a heavy stroke on the paper, but he wanted to pretend that nothing happened, and gently put down the pen in his hand.

He always thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the army this time was generally roaring from the previous ten years, sweeping away the wealth and people, how could it become a war of rise and fall here? However, Zhu Cihong also faintly felt in his heart that the Zhu family seemed to have entered the tip of the bull's horns today, and throughout ancient and modern China and abroad, there was rarely an imperial dynasty that lasted for more than 300 years. Now the emperor and Ming have passed 272 years since Taizu and Chengzu descended, and every time Jiannu broke through the pass and entered the realm of no one, Zhang Li and Liu rebelled against thieves repeatedly, and the Central Plains finally developed from scabies to the heart of the heart.

However, after the initial results of the thief, the father and the emperor suddenly fell, and the powerful ministers in charge of the army were at both ends, and King Shen was even more aggressive and drove the carriage and horse to enter Beijing to seize the throne, and now the internal and external troubles have reached the extreme. If the battle outside Beijing is lost, King Shen will take the opportunity to make trouble, but he is afraid that the world will be fighting again.

"Li Xin, Hugh is talking nonsense! Long live my emperor and Ming are boundless, why would they rise and fall between World War I? ”

Li Shiwen trembled all over, his gray hair trembled slightly, and pointing at Li Xin was a reproach, which was almost like a shrew scolding the street. At present, there is only one person in the cabinet who is extremely dissatisfied with Li Xin, but he has gotten rid of his usual cowardly image and openly stood up to accuse Li Xin for the first time.

Empress Zhou straightened up and looked at Li Xin with bright eyes, as if she was waiting for his explanation.

Li Xin did not argue with Li Shiwen, but said with a straight face: "Your Highness, the minister has received a secret report, King Shen colluded with the slave chief Dolgon to do something unsubordinate, and in the battle last night, the army of King Shen in Juyong Pass also had a change......

"It's nonsense, King Shen is the bloodline of Taizu, how can he collude with the Tartars......"

Without waiting for Li Xin to finish speaking, Li Shiwen started arguing with Li Xin again.

The emotional Li Shiwen didn't notice at all that the faces of Empress Zhou and the crown prince Zhu Cihong were already extremely ugly.

Regardless of whether King Shen's army moved or not last night, it was difficult for Queen Zhou to pretend that nothing had happened after hearing the news. Even her heart was shocked to the extreme.

And at this time, Li Shiwen was still speaking for King Shen, how could Queen Zhou have a good face for him?

With a bang, Queen Zhou's well-maintained right hand slapped on the desk beside her.

Only then did Li Shiwen suddenly stop his accusation against Li Xin as if he was frightened, as if he had forgotten it.

"Li Ge's words are wrong, what the Marquis of Zhenyu said is reasonable and well-founded, how could he have wronged people? But you keep defending King Shen, what is your intention? ”

University scholar Wei Zaode asked without yin or yang. Li Shiwen finally understood, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he pointed at Wei Zaode, "You, you, you bloody mouth!" ”
