Chapter 293: Sheng Jing
The guardian dog, what he likes most is to sit back and enjoy it, and now give him a chance, how can he make a difference?
Shen Youlong and Wu Xiang discussed the matter of going south until midnight, obviously on some issues, the two had differences, but both of them showed enough sincerity, and they also had the greatest 'loyalty' to the Ming Dynasty and the greatest pursuit of interests, so they quickly reached an agreement.
The two agreed that Zhao Wenji would personally bring Shen Youlong's letter, go south to persuade Zheng Zhilong, and send people to contact the towns in Jiangbei, and all this must be done in secret, so as not to provoke criticism, and to avoid any moths from the Luwang faction.
As for when to send troops south to support the establishment, it depends on when Donglu and Li Chuang will fight, only when these two fight and form a decisive battle, Liaozhen and Shen Youlong can act with confidence.
Shengjing, Prince Rui's Mansion.
Dorgon was standing in front of a detailed map, carefully examining the various passes and marching routes, while beside him, the Manchu civil and military generals held their breath and waited for his admonition.
Thirty-two-year-old Dolgon is in the prime of life, although Huang Taiji is extremely capable, but in the end fate still favors him, after the death of Huang Taiji, Dolgon finally at this age when his energy and experience are at the peak, grasp the supreme power of the Manchu Qing, although there is still a nominal auxiliary king of Zilharang to contain him, but those containment, but those containment, is only in name.
"Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Dushikou, Gubeikou ........." The names of the passes on the side wall were already clear in his chest, but he still circled them one by one with a pen, thinking in his heart that the soldiers and horses that set off from Shengjing could only arrive and break through.
Dolgon has been living in the shadow of Huang Taiji for the first half of his life, and Dolgon is full of resentment towards this starling who forced his mother to death, but he is extremely envious of his political talent, even if the three brothers Dolgon, Azig and Duoduo have mastered the two white flags, in the era of Huang Taiji, there has never been a slightest threat to his authority.
Instead, the three Dolgon brothers became the eagle dogs of Huang Taiji, and fought for him.
Dolgon thought about resisting, but what was ushered in was only suppression, but in the end, fate favored him, and took his life at the peak of the emperor's spring and autumn years.
Since he came of age, Dolgon has not wanted to prove his ability, he wants to prove that he is better than Huang Taiji, to prove that he should be the one who sat on the throne after his father's death, and when he was in power, God favored him again and gave him a chance.
Huang Taiji has been in business for many years, and has been in and out of the border wall several times to loot, weakening the Ming Dynasty with the strategy of cutting down big trees, removing its branches and leaves, and then pouting the foundation. Everything he had been planning for many years had allowed Dolgon to pick peaches, and a new force had risen within the Ming Dynasty, the enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Da Shun.
In the Ordos, Dolgon heard about Li Zicheng's ascension to the throne as emperor, but in his letter to Li Zicheng, he still referred to him as a marshal, not an emperor, and he wrote as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Dolgon finally got a chance to show himself, he realized through intelligence from all sides that the big tree of Daming has reached the verge of collapse, and it is time to cut off its foundation, and the plan he and his ministers set is to conquer Daming this year and enter from the border wall of Jizhen Town, but, unlike the previous several times in and out of the side wall, this time, Dolgon is not ready to retreat, but directly occupy Yanyun and cover the Central Plains.
According to his plan, in this battle, the soldiers and horses of Xuanda and Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated, and Yanyun was the foundation, and continued to go south according to the situation.
Therefore, Dolgon's plan was to enter the customs, and he didn't think about everything that happened in the Dingding Central Plains, which was too much of a coincidence, so that he and his Manchu Qing could easily get the flowers.
"Now the speed of all armies is in the plan, and there is no change in the direction of Jinzhou, everything is in the plan." Dolgon said, he turned to look at the civil and military generals beside him: "That's it, set off in the afternoon, and cross the Liao River tomorrow." ”
All the generals said yes, and then retreated, only the Prince of Yu Duoduo stayed, and he was about to speak, Azig rushed in and said unceremoniously: "Dolgon, Dolgon, have you heard about the incident in Fuzhou?" ”
"Azig, you can't shout at Dolgon here, he's the Auxiliary Prince, and you're only the County King." Duoduo reminded.
But Azig didn't care: "This is not in the court, this is my brother's house, as the elder brother, do I still have to kneel for my brother?" ”
Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo are three siblings, they are brothers, but in the era of Huang Taiji, they are always at odds, three brothers, sharing two white flags, no two peach kills three soldiers, it is already the biggest brotherhood of the three people.
"Okay, don't argue, if the three of us are not united, others will definitely take advantage of it. Now is a good situation, you and my brother, don't fight. Azig, what are you talking about Fuzhou? Dorgon asked.
Azig said: "There were fugitive slaves in Fuzhou who rebelled and beat me four Zhuangzi in a row, and the family members of some of my soldiers were killed and their property was robbed. ”
"So what?"
"We are so empty, and all the men in the country have been taken away by you. Two-thirds of Manchuria will go to war, all the Han army, Mongolia and foreign vassals will also go to war, and those who do not enter the Ming Kingdom will also stay in the big city, not to mention soldiers in the countryside, there are few men, if the fugitive slaves provoke the slaves to make trouble, what should I do? "Azig.
Duoduo said: "So what, there are still soldiers in the big cities, and there is not much trouble between the fugitives and the slaves, as long as this time is successful, there are all kinds of flowers, as much land as you want, as many slaves as you want, as many slaves as you want, and the loss is nothing." ”
Azig was about to speak, but Dolgon interrupted him: "Azig, tell me, who has seen you these days?" Sonny Aobai, or Suppilon, or a few of the Daishan family? I don't think Zilharang will tear down my platform at this time. ”
"There is no ........" Azig didn't speak hard at all, and he turned his head away, not daring to look directly at Dorgon.
Dorgon said, "Duoduo also lost three Zhuangzi, and he didn't say anything. The blue flag came to report, two Zhuangzi were gone, but they didn't say anything, only you, are you shouting, do you want to demolish my platform? ”
"Yes...... It was Sonny who ridiculed me, saying that I couldn't save Qiding's family, who were fighting on the front line, but their family was killed by minions. Azig bowed his head and said.
Dorgon nodded, "I knew it was those people." But you know, the thieves have occupied the capital, Chongzhen is dead, Yanyun has become a borderless land, as long as we defeat the thieves, not only Zhili, but even the entire Central Plains will be ours.
This is the overall situation, and the imperial court regards me as a general and leads the elite of the whole country to the expedition, and many people do not want me to succeed, so they cannot seize power. ”
Azig asked: "I just want to send a few hundred people to clean up the area of Fuzhou, is it possible that if there are a few hundred people, we can't defeat the thieves?" ”
"Of course not, even if you take 10,000 people to clean up, I can still defeat the thieves." Dolgon said, patting Azig on the shoulder and saying, "You are the eldest of the three of us, but the title is lower than the two of us, and we have always known that this is the conspiracy of the Emperor Taiji.
Therefore, this expedition, you will become a prince no matter what. So some people want you to make trouble, let me deal with you, so that you are still just the king of the county, even if I see through it, our brothers will quarrel, brothers will not get along, sooner or later something will happen, this is what they want.
Apparently, they succeeded. ”
Azig was the simplest of the three, and he was always used as a gunman, and he still was, but he was an extremely arrogant man, and he had great achievements, so it was difficult to listen to the persuasion of others, especially Dorgon and Dordor, who always took his brother's persuasion as a mockery and a lesson.
Dolgon shook Azig's hand and said, "Don't make a noise, I won't punish you." What happened in Fuzhou, you know, I also know, everything is up to you, your soldiers, even if they are all brought to exterminate those fugitive slaves, I will not stop them. ”
"I know how to do it." Azig departed indignantly.
"He won't really want to lead troops to Fuzhou." Dordor said.
"He's not that stupid, if we stop him, he'll do it, and everything will go with him, but he won't." Dolgon said, and then he called out to Sukh Saha: "Sukh Saha, you follow Azig, I think he will teach Sonny that guy, you go and watch, don't go too far." ”
"A slave can't stop his master from getting angry." Sukh Saha said carefully.
Dorgon said, "When you can't stop him, tell him that if he makes any more trouble, I'll send him south to clean up the fugitive slaves." ”
A smile appeared on Duoduo's face, Azig must have wanted to go from being a prince to a prince more than those Zhuangzi who had lost.
"This time, the national elite is in our hands, although Fulin's little baby and Zilharang will not go out, they will not make any trouble. I have paid attention to it in the past few days, the two blue flags and the two red flags are very stable, and the two yellow flags have not openly opposed each other except for the elite in Shengjing. Dodor said with a smile.
Dolgon nodded slightly: "This is a national army, and the most fearful thing is not the battle, but the fear of problems behind the back." ”
Duoduo said: "But Azig is not groundless, there are indeed some problems in Fuzhou, Zhengbai Banner and Blue Flag have been attacked by Zhuangzi one after another, saying that it was done by fugitive slaves, but I always feel a little strange." ”
"What's wrong?" Dorgon asked.
Duoduo said: "People who came said that people were taken and killed in the Zhuangzi, and a lot of property was lost, and these are like fugitive slaves, but some are not like the Zhuangzi that were attacked, and the cattle were not taken away, or even killed.
And the armor and weapons in the Zhuangzi were not taken away, and the grain was not burned or robbed. Shouldn't all these be needed by fugitive slaves? ”
Dolgon nodded slightly, thinking for a moment, "Who do you think did this?" ”
"It's hard to say, but it's not important, there have been no reports of Zhuangzi being attacked recently." Duoduo said, he shook his head: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe it's the minions in Zhuangzi who are running away." Those who were afraid of blame said that they were fugitives. ”
Dolgon thought about it, and finally said: "Forget it, leave these to Zilharang to have a headache, we will send troops, this battle, our Daqing will lay down a big country, let Huang Taiji know, let the gentry of the whole country know, who is the man who brought Daqing to the top." ”
"Yes, in that position, Fulin's little ass can't sit still!"
