Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 434 The two countries compete for supremacy (Part )
Winter is coming, and the charcoal stove is burning brightly in the main hall of the royal father's and regent's palace. The servants all know that the master is suffering from wind disease and is afraid of wind and cold, so they keep the stove burning brightly. To be fair, although this master had a bad temper and was very murderous, he was still kind to the people around him. He was famous for his nepotism and dismissed and promoted officials at will. The most important thing is to monopolize the power of the government, "not allowing the kings, Baylor, Beizi, Dukes, etc. to enter the court to do business, but actually regard themselves as the court." The above-mentioned people are ordered to wait in front of their palace every day. In this way, his palace is equivalent to a royal palace, and the people below serve him more and more meticulously, hoping to win the master's favor and achieve great success.

"cough~cough~"

Dorgon coughed and covered his mouth with a brocade handkerchief. There was blood on the brocade handkerchief, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. What is the purpose of working alone all your life? Not even a son! The nobles of the Qing Dynasty practiced polygamy and multiple concubines. He was a lustful man. There were seven wives and four concubines recorded. In Fujin, there are five Mongolian women, one Manchu woman, and one Korean woman; among the concubines, there are three Mongolian women and one Korean woman. But there was no son, only one daughter, named Aixinjueluo Dongguo, whom she loved like a treasure.

Having no son is ultimately a pity. If he becomes emperor in the future, who will the throne be passed on to? Therefore, Dorgon discussed with his brother Duduo and adopted Duduo's fifth son, Duduo Aixinjueluo Duolbo, as his adopted son. Unexpectedly, Duduo, who was in his prime, died. This was a huge blow to Dorgon. He suspected that he had been cursed. Otherwise, why would the wind disease never heal? The person who cursed himself must be his eldest nephew Hauge. I heard that when Hauge died, he said that he would turn into a ghost to kill him. At that time, I just thought it was a joke, but over the years, his body and bones have become worse and worse. When he beat Jiang Yu, he almost fell off his horse. Come down.

Fortunately, God bless the Qing Dynasty. Jiang Guan was finally put down, and the rebellion in Shanxi was about to be suppressed. Dorgon opened the memorials and looked at them carefully. The more he looked at them, the more relaxed he felt. Even the wind disease on his body seemed to be getting better.

General Dingxi and Prince Duanzhong Boluo received good news. His men had captured Xiaoyi, Pingyao, Liaozhou, Yushe and other places. Then, they joined forces with Mandahai to attack Fenzhou and bombarded it with red cannons. Beiguan, rushed into the city from the collapse of the city wall, and captured and killed the rebels' self-proclaimed governor Jiang Jianxun and the chief envoy Liu Bingran. Bolo forgot to mention one thing in his victory report: after the Qing army captured Fenzhou, they massacred all the people in the city. He didn't tell him, and the emperor and the regent just pretended not to know. Not to mention, it was really effective. As soon as word of the Fenzhou Massacre spread, the gentlemen of Lan County and Yongning Prefecture (today's Lishi County) were afraid of dying together. They kidnapped the county magistrates and prefects appointed by the rebels and took them to the army and surrendered in Kaicheng. It can be seen that massacre of the city is a good way to suppress rebellion. Bolo knows how to do things, kill well!

Mandahai was also cleared. Prince Heshuoxun used red cannons to attack Taigu County, then occupied Qinzhou, and then Lu'an (today's Changzhi City). This nephew is the son of Prince Heshuoli Daishan. He is brave and good at fighting. I have a successor in Manchuria!
Han Dai, the Duke of Zhenguo, also went to Shu, saying that General Dingxi and Prince Duanzhong Boluo led him, Gushan'er Zhenshi Tingzhu, Zuo Menggeng and other troops to defeat the rebels again in Zezhou (today's Jincheng) and captured and killed them. Chen Du, the leader of the thief department, He Shouzhong, the military supervisor, and Zhang Douguang, the guard general, etc.

Well, it seems that the situation in Shanxi has been decided. It is not a good thing that the Manchurian army is stranded outside and Beijing is empty. If there are unruly people making trouble in the capital, how can they be stopped? The scheming emperor's father and regent knew the danger of the capital, so he immediately ordered all the kings to return to the capital, leaving only Wakda, the king of Duoluo County, to continue to clear out Shanxi Weiping.

The question is, although the rebellion in Shanxi has been put down, what about Shaanxi? The troubles in Shaanxi are not much worse than those in Shanxi, and the situation in Shaanxi is more complicated, with the shadow of the Oirat Mongols behind them. When he thought of the Qianyuan Emperor of Weiguo, Dorgon clenched his fists in anger. He had long seen that this guy was no ordinary person. He had always regarded the remnant forces of the Ming Dynasty as his main opponent and had no time to directly guard the affairs of the Lat Mongols. He only supported the Junggar tribe to check and balance the Huite tribe for balance. Unexpectedly, that guy was so awesome that he quickly conquered Junggar and unknowingly established a new and huge empire. Today's Weiguo has become a strong opponent of the Qing Dynasty, directly threatening the security of the western frontier.

However, things in Shaanxi are not too pessimistic.

Shaanxi Governor Meng Qiaofang Shangshu said that after receiving reinforcements from Gansu Governor Zhang Wenheng and Gansu General Soldier Liu Liangchen, he had secured Liupan Mountain and was confident of stopping the army of the puppet Zhangwu King Zhu Shizhong from entering Pingliang City.

Shu Ze, king of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, gave him a big surprise. Wu Sangui actually defeated and shot to death the northern Shaanxi thief Wang Yongqiang in Meiyuan, wiped out the main force of the thief army, and then continued northward. He drove Wang Yongqiang's brother Wang Yongzhen back to Yulin, and then entered Yulin. Wang Yongzhen had no choice but to lead a few The remaining troops fled into Ningxia. Well, although Wu Sangui is arrogant and rebellious, he is a capable fighter. In order to win over him, Dorgon ordered him to take care of his body and not to charge into battle, but only to issue instructions.

Although the situation in Shaanxi is improving, Dorgon understands that the root cause of the rebellion in Shaanxi lies in Weiguo. If Weiguo's support for the rebels is not cut off, the rebellion in Shaanxi will be difficult to quell. Therefore, he knew that Gansu had been completely occupied by the Wei State, but he still deliberately appointed Zhang Wenheng as the governor of Gansu and Liu Liangchen as the commander-in-chief of Gansu to put pressure on the Wei State. At the same time, he sent a scholar Qi Chongge to negotiate with the Wei State in the hope of persuading the Wei State. Qianyuan gave up his support for the Shaanxi bandits.

Negotiation is necessary. Failure to negotiate may shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. On the surface, the Qing Dynasty achieved great military victory, wiping out Li Chengdong and Jin Shengheng in the south, and pacifying Jiang Yu and Wang Yongqiang in the north. But Dorgon knew that the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to fight major wars. The whole country was in rebellion, the treasury was empty, and there was no money to fight. The Eight Banners had few people, they were fighting rebellions everywhere, and they had insufficient troops. They did not dare to fully trust the surrendered Han army. As a result, there were not many soldiers and horses left in the important areas of the capital, and there were no soldiers to fight.

Therefore, Dorgon ordered the kings to immediately unite their troops and return to Beijing, leaving only Wakda, the king of Duoluo County, to stay in Shanxi, temporarily on the defensive against Nanming and Wei, and wait for a year or two to rest before fighting again. It is ridiculous that Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty celebrated when he saw that the Qing army had defeated Li Chengdong and Jin Shengheng and did not continue southward. He thought that the Qing government had missed a golden opportunity, but he did not know that this was the time when the Qing Dynasty was at its weakest.

The turbulent rebel armies from various places greatly touched Dorgon. He realized that the Manchurians were small and could not withstand repeated wars. If he wanted to pacify the world, he must control the Han and using the Han army to suppress the rebellion was a top priority. He remembered Wu Sangui, who had just made great achievements, and ordered the Prince of Pingxi to immediately divide his troops to cross the river and attack Shanxi Pianguan after pacifying Yulin, and annihilate the rebel forces of Wan Lian and He Guozhu.
