Chapter 64: Shunzhi's Troubles
Shunzhi drove Dolgon away, thinking he was proud, but he didn't know that Zhang Biwu had been paying attention to the situation here, Zhang Biwu heard that Shunzhi wanted to capture Dolgon, but Dolgon successfully escaped, but Dolgon didn't dare to attack the city immediately, but retreated to Shanhaiguan.
"Hey!" Zhang Biwu felt that it was a pity, and slapped a heavy fist in his palm, saying, "This Dolgon! If only he had siege the city! He is not a weak man, how can he not attack the city? Could it be that he misses his relationship with Da Yu'er too much? A politician can't be emotional! ”
Xuan Jianhao replied: "It's very simple! Dolgon didn't want the internal contradictions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to suffer a great loss of strength, so he made concessions to Shunzhi. Now that he has retreated to Shanhaiguan, Shunzhi naturally doesn't want to press him anymore, how to say, he also has a strong army. Even if he issued an edict to denounce Dorgon's crimes, he insisted on hiding Huang Taiji's death. Knowing that there is room for everything, I think this must have been done by the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to persuade Shunzhi. ”
Zhang Biwu understood and said: "If there is room for everything, it is not impossible for Dolgon to return to the Manchu court and take power again." If so, Dorgon is still a formidable enemy! It's just that when Dorgon takes refuge, we want to expand our power as quickly as possible, and when Dorgon regains power, Dorgon can't help me! ”
Zhang Biwu was full of ambition, he immediately led 60,000 heroes to Nanjing, Nanjing City urgently asked Beijing for help, but when he heard about the fire merger between Dolgon and Shunzhi, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Biwu even sent a message to the south of the Yangtze River, calling on everyone to rise up and drive away the Tartars together. At this time, Shunzhi and Dolgon's fire merged. The whole country was shocked. Naturally, the anti-Qing wave has risen again.
Zhang Biwu stormed Nanjing at all costs. All the garrisons in Nanjing have long been divided into two factions, one faction is loyal to Shunzhi, the other is Dolgon's, now I don't know whether Dolgon or Shunzhi is in charge, they naturally have no intention of defending, under Zhang Biwu's offensive, Nanjing will soon be recovered.
No, Huang Qi first climbed to the top of the city. He cut off the dragon flag of the Manchu Dynasty, and then threw it under the city, and then planted the banner with the word "Ming", and he shouted: "Nanjing is restored!" ”
Then the soldiers poured into the city of Nanjing, and the Qing soldiers either surrendered or fled, and those who dared to resist were killed.
The loss of Nanjing shook the whole country, and the Manchu rule in the south began to waver. And Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, Shi Kefa, Huang Degong, etc. all started the Jedi counterattack in Fujian, and they succeeded one after another. Constantly recovering lost ground.
In particular, Huang Degong thinks that he is still tied to his hands and feet in Fujian. It is better to lead troops to the north to rely on Zhang Biwu, so that there will be a lot to be done. He is very friendly with Cao Bianjiao, and he can play a role more under Zhang Biwu's account, and he doesn't have to be wronged for many years and shrink to the ground.
Shi Kefa felt that it would be good if he could follow the Yongli calendar, he knew that the Dao was still subject to Zheng Chenggong here, so it was better to think of a way to get closer to the side of Emperor Yongli. He and He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun together, more able to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa knows better than anyone else, the military generals are outside, even if they drive the Tartars, it may not be the revival of the Ming Dynasty, only to help Yongli, build a strong army, have the strength to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, on Li Dingguo's side, Li Dingguo naturally would not let go of the favorable situation, and he also went south from Huguang to occupy Hunan and then Guangxi. There are Huguang and Guangxi, and Li Dingguo's strength has also increased, and he is better served by Emperor Yongli.
Li Guo wanted to develop to Shu, but now Shu was under the control of Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui also occupied Yunnan and Guizhou, and his troops were very limited, so the land of Chongqing was captured by Li Guo.
Wu Sangui also sent people to negotiate peace with Li Guo, otherwise, he would not hesitate to fight with Li Guo, with Li Guo's troops, he would not be able to eat Wu Sangui, and the two sides could only lose both.
Li Guo also issued an ultimatum to Wu Sangui to either oppose the water and resist the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, Li Guo and Li Dingguo would fight with Wu Sangui together.
Wu Sangui is uncertain, he doesn't know if the Qing court's fight between Shunzhi and Dolgon will really hurt his vitality, and whether he can recover his vitality? If he can't, he can also oppose the water, with the land of Shu and Yunnan and Guizhou, not to mention the unification of the world, at least he can divide one side and be the second Liu Bei.
In addition, Zhang Biwu sent Zu Zerun, who had surrendered to him before, to come to Wu Sangui with the friendship of his cousins. Wu Sangui received a letter from Zu Dashou in Beijing, persuading him not to oppose the Manchu Qing Dynasty and be obedient! This time it's fun, the two fathers and sons do their own things, but it is Wu Sangui who is persuaded to do diametrically opposite things.
Wu Sangui smiled, this is each for its own master! It's just that neither of them can be offended. Otherwise, he would be able to reprimand Zu Zerun for ignoring his father, and of course he could also reprimand Zu Dashou for not remembering the old kindness of the Ming Dynasty. The current situation is that neither side can scold, but can only entrust the snake.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south occupied only the two provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong, but these two provinces were still separated, and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable.
Shunzhi was stupid, he originally thought that if he got rid of Dolgon, he would be able to show what he could and soon unify the country, but he didn't expect that it would be today's result, and even half of the south of the Yangtze River was lost! Guangdong and Zhejiang are precarious, and I don't know how long they can hold on, and they will be taken away by each other.
As for Wu Sangui's disobedience, now the situation is no longer favorable to the Qing court, and it is also possible that he has defected, and now he is constantly in contact with Li Dingguo and Li Guo in private.
Shunzhi is in a hurry every day, but he doesn't allow anyone to mention the word Dolgon in front of him, as long as he mentions Dolgon, he will go crazy, Dolgon has always been the shadow in Shunzhi's heart, how can it linger. Even if Dolgon is no longer in front of Shunzhi, even if Dolgon is dead, Shunzhi still can't get out of this shadow.
He didn't admit defeat, he didn't believe it, and without Dorgon, he wouldn't be able to clean up the rivers and mountains.
He summoned Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng to ask them if there was any good way to get through this difficulty.
Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng both shook their heads, the sudden change in the situation was too fast! It's so fast that they can't react, even if they react, the other party's momentum is very great, not to mention keeping the territory in the south, at least they must be able to keep the area of Beizhili and keep the capital.
The Manchu Qing had moved their capital to Beijing, and if Beijing was lost, it would be a great blow to the Manchus. Although Shunzhi had the idea of moving the capital, he was worried that Dolgon was still in Shanhaiguan, and if he wanted to return to his hometown in Liaodong, he had to go through Shanhaiguan. And then he would admit defeat to Dorgon.
Shunzhi frowned and made a bitter face, he walked back and forth, this young man felt the incomparable pressure, even if there were three or four hundred thousand horses gathered near Beijing, but with this man and horse, could he quickly eliminate Zhang Biwu?
Do you want to use all your strength to destroy Zhang Biwu? Shunzhi really wanted to think about it, he thought about it very much, and he was about to go crazy when he thought about it, and when he saw Zhang Biwu's text again, he wanted to fight him to the death and kill him, a yellow-mouthed son. I always look down on Shunzhi again and again in the text, how can Shunzhi not be popular?
Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng repeatedly persuaded Shunzhi to stop being angry, if he was angry and sent troops, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty would really be finished, and the current situation could not be capricious and careless!
Shunzhi is determined, and he also recognized the words of Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, but for how to dominate the world, the ministers are helpless, and at the beginning, as long as they think that if they drive Dolgon, things will be easy to do in the future, but now the predicament is speechless one by one.
Shunzhi shouted: "Speak out! Didn't you say that if you drove the incompetent Dolgon, you could sacrifice a great plan for me to pacify the world? But now that there are difficulties, why don't you say anything about either of you? Speak! What is there to help me settle the world? ”
The ministers lowered their heads, you looked at me, I looked at you, but I didn't dare to answer again.
Shunzhi looked at his two masters again, and Zhilu Dao finally had to rely on Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, and only the two of them could let everyone get through the difficulties together.
Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng offered him advice, Shunzhi listened carefully to their plans, and he was nodding one after another! I'm very glad that if these plans can be realized, it will be a great thing.
"Zheng Chenggong wants to recover Taiwan? Giggle! Well, don't worry about Zheng Chenggong's side for the time being! As for Zhang Biwu, I really can't imagine that he actually agrees with Zheng Chenggong and wants to go with Zheng Chenggong to recover Taiwan! Will he just talk about it? If he really goes to recover Taiwan, the clever plan of the two gentlemen has a chance of success! We're going to get a lot of money! "Shunzhi is very happy.
Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng looked at each other, and they also felt incredible, why did Zhang Biwu want to go with Zheng Chenggong to recover Taiwan? Taiwan is a desert island, what is there to fight for? I don't understand!
And the initiator of the plan offered by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou was Dolgon. Dolgon desperately wanted to lead his troops south to clean up the mess, but now Shunzhi was still worried about him, so he had no choice but to go back to Tunshan Pass.
On Zhang Biwu's side, he only thought about occupying Jiangnan, and he was not in a hurry to go north to restore Beijing, and he also knew that it would not be easy to regain Beijing. It is also a good thing to occupy Gangnam.
He was thinking about how to break the enemy troops stationed in Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, and when he was connected with Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong proposed to him that he wanted to recover Taiwan. (To be continued......)
