Ming politicians

Huang Taiji really couldn't support himself this time. The bad news that came one after another made him unbearable. However, Huang Taiji, who is stubborn by nature, still performed in front of everyone, and his spirit was better than before. of.

The [-] army led by Duoduo was wiped out by the Jiangning Camp. Few soldiers escaped. Duduo was also beheaded. , All the Han troops stationed in Gaizhou surrendered.

Each of these news is frightening and unbearable for ordinary people. Even Hauge lost his temper a few times, and even directly taught his servants a lesson. Obviously, he couldn't control his anger.

Huang Taiji is very calm. The matter has come to this point. It is useless to lose your temper. It is a sign of cowardice. What needs to be done now is how to make up for it, how to stabilize the defense in the direction of Haizhou, or launch from the direction of Haizhou. Attack and start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng.

Huang Taiji wished to tear Su Tiancheng apart, but unfortunately he could only think about it this way. Launching an attack from the direction of Haizhou is obviously very difficult. With the soldiers stationed in Haizhou now, there is no way to fight Su Tiancheng decisively. The mobilization of the Xianghuang Banner and the Zhenglan Banner stationed in Liaoyang may not guarantee the defeat of Su Tiancheng. Only the mobilization of the army stationed in Liaodong can guarantee the defeat of Su Tiancheng. Do you have so much time? Liaodong Will the Ming army in Datong be moved by the sight of the fight? At that time, the Ming army will attack Shenyang from Liaodong, and the Qing Dynasty will fall into a place of eternal doom.

The consequence of making a wrong move is to bear everything, but this consequence is too tragic. Duoduo lost his life, which is an unbearable loss.

In private, Huang Taiji thought about Duoduo's past.After all, he was his younger brother, and after all, he was a warrior of the Aixinjueluo family. Huang Taiji burst into tears several times.For all his faults, Dodo is dead.Saying that doesn't help.

The next battle plan established by Huang Taiji is still the idea he and Hauge mentioned, that is, to find a breakthrough from the grassland, use the Mongolian Eight Banners to contain the Ming army in Liaodong and Datong, and the main force of the Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners. Haizhou started a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng. As long as Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying were defeated, everything would be fine.As for attacking from the east of Liaodong, that is unrealistic. The army of the Qing Dynasty has never been able to break through the Guanning Jin line of defense.

There is also the Japanese whom Fan Wencheng is contacting. The agreement has already been signed. It was signed by Fan Wencheng on behalf of the Qing Dynasty and the representatives of Japan.In September, Japan will send troops to attack North Korea.Huang Taiji was not sure that the Japanese would really do that.In recent decades, the Japanese fought against the Ming court several times, all in exchange for disastrous defeats. During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates made rebellions in Zhejiang and other coastal areas, but were defeated by Qi's army led by Qi Jiguang. During the Wanli period.The Japanese pirates invaded North Korea, but they were defeated by the Ming army. They suffered heavy losses and had to flee back to Japan, that is, since then.The Japanese did not cross the sea to provoke. [

Huang Taiji's deployment has three aspects. Apart from the deployment on the grassland and the deployment in Liaodong, the rest is the adjustment of the deployment in the Haizhou direction. On the Japanese side, Huang Taiji did not consider it a separate deployment.

In the direction of Haizhou, after Su Tiancheng occupied Gaizhou, he temporarily stopped attacking.This decision made by Su Tiancheng once again made Huang Taiji feel annoyed. After the news of Duoduo's death and Jin Li's capture was spread to Shenyang, there was a huge disturbance among the Manchu nobles. The majority of voices called for an attack from the state direction, a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, and a complete defeat of Su Tiancheng. However, there were also calm people, including Dorgon, whom no one would have thought of.

Dorgon, Duoduo and Azige are brothers born to the same mother. Azige is the oldest, Dorgon is next, and Duoduo is the youngest. The relationship is the deepest, and the two are also an absolute political alliance. It is said that when such a thing happened, Dorgon absolutely demanded to avenge Duoduo.

There was a direct conflict between Dorgon and Azig on how to deal with the deployment of the campaign in the direction of Haizhou.

Azige firmly supports launching a general attack from the direction of Haizhou, defeating Su Tiancheng, and avenging Duoduo. He also volunteered to go to Haizhou to fight, resolutely beheading Su Tiancheng. Azige's opinion has won the approval of many people. , even Oboi in Zhenghuang Banner agreed with this opinion.

But Dorgon disagreed, thinking that such an approach would not work.

After Duoduo was defeated and killed, except for Jierhalang who was stationed in Haizhou, almost all the other Manchu nobles returned to Shenyang. Everyone knew that Huang Taiji must make new arrangements.

Therefore, Dorgon, Azig and others, including Daishan, are all in Shenyang.

Dorgon's opinion is very clear. Because of one failure, the entire Qing Dynasty cannot be suppressed without any scruples. This is an act of anger, not a wise choice. Guangning and Xiping Fort in Liaodong may fall in the shortest possible time, so that the Ming army can cross the Liaohe River and launch an attack on Shenyang. At that time, the army in the direction of Haizhou will be transferred back to protect Shenyang, this is completely self-torture.

Dorgon also believes that when things have come to this point, the situation in Haizhou is more important to Liaodong. It is necessary to properly deploy the army to rush to Haizhou. Gaizhou has been lost, and Yaozhou and Haizhou must not be lost. Liaoyang is also in danger. If Liaoyang falls, Shenyang will definitely not be able to defend it.

In Dorgon's suggestion, the Mongolian Eight Banners were also mentioned, and the power of Mongolia was mentioned.

This made Huang Taiji look at Dorgon with admiration once again. Huang Taiji knew clearly that Dorgon's ability was stronger than that of Hauge. If he left by himself and entrusted the Qing Dynasty to Dorgon, there would definitely be no problem Yes, but Huang Taiji can't do this. Needless to say, Dorgon's ability is too strong and cruel. It is foreseeable that once Dorgon takes power, Hauge and others will die , including many of his own sons, as well as Daishan and Jierhalang, etc., once Dorgon stabilized the situation, there will be actions to cleanse dissidents.

What Huang Taiji thought of was to allow Hauge to win over Dorgon, even though it was very difficult to do so.

What I have to say is that Duoduo's death made Dorgon's power even weaker, and he lost the opportunity to compete with Hauge. Duduo is the owner of the white flag, holds the military power in his hand, and has a lot of power to speak. It is also Dorgon's most powerful supporter. Now that Duo Duo is dead, Dorgon's political alliance no longer exists.

But there is another thing that is also a headache for Huang Taiji, and that is the banner owner of the inlaid white flag. [

Duo Duo has no older sons yet. Under such circumstances, Dorgon is the best person who can control the Xiangbai Banner. This is also the practice of the Qing Dynasty. It's just that Huang Taiji thought of some ways to take charge of Xianghongqi for the time being. Later, when Daishan completely returned his heart, Huang Taiji handed over Xianghongqi to Daishan.

If Dorgon is in charge of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, his power will be even stronger.

There are three upper banners and five lower banners. The upper three banners are Zhenghuang, Bordered Yellow and Zhenglan. The lower five banners are Zhengbai, Bordered White, Zhenghong, Bordered Red and Bordered Blue. The difference between the lower five banners is that the upper three banners are directly held by the emperor, the guards in the palace are all selected from the upper three banners, and the lower five banners are held by princes and county kings.Later, the upper three banners were Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner. After Dorgon took power, he squeezed out the Zhenglan Banner and made the Zhengbai Banner the Shangsan Banner.

In other words, after Hauge inherited the throne, he directly took charge of the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhenglan Banner. His strength was good, but the Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner under Dorgon's control belonged to the army most capable of fighting. It surpassed the upper three banners. Under such circumstances, as long as Dorgon finds the right time and unites with the banner owners of other banners, he will be able to seize the power of Hauge.

This is what Huang Taiji is most worried about. In the past, Huang Taiji even had an extreme idea, that is, to kill Dorgon, but judging from the development of the situation, the Qing Dynasty may still be inseparable from Dorgon.

Huang Taiji, who was in a dilemma, was struggling to find a way out, which was to let Hauge and Dorgon get in touch as much as possible, so that Hauge could win over Dorgon. After a while, the progress was not very good.

Huang Taiji also made up his mind. Many things are predestined by the heavens, and the law of manpower has completely changed. Establishing Hauge as Huang Taiji, and putting Hauge on the horse and sending him off for another ride, Huang Taiji can only do this step, and the rest It depends on Hauge himself. Dorgon is a rare hero in the Qing Dynasty. He is calm, courageous and resourceful. Huang Taiji will not do the same thing. Tai Chi can't think of so much.

The next step of the deployment of the Qing Dynasty had to be decided. After serious consideration, Huang Taiji was ready to discuss with the rich and powerful. This time, there were no Han people participating in the discussion.

Before the discussion, Huang Taiji discussed with Hauge again and made many explanations. He thought it over, let Hauge explain some things, let Hauge speak out, and let many Manchu nobles admire Hauge.

Huang Taiji wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to improve the relationship between Hauge and Dorgon, so that the two could unite, even temporarily, to deal with the crisis of the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji knew that under the current circumstances, the only way to do so would be beneficial to the stable development of the Qing Dynasty. If there was internal strife, it would be an opportunity for the Ming court. (to be continued)
