Chapter 744

Beijing, the residence of the Prince Regent.

Dorgon sat alone in the office room, with a few small officials outside helping to handle government affairs.

At this time, the table in front of Dorgon was full of memorials and various files. Dorgon was holding a pen in his hand, reviewing various memorials sent from the front.

After the Western Wei Dynasty captured Pujin Pass, Dorgon transferred Jierhalang and Haoge back to the army, but they refused his order.

This made Dorgon very annoyed, but fortunately, after the Western Wei Dynasty took Pujin Pass, it did not march into the hinterland of Hedong.

Even so, just to be on the safe side, Dorgon sent the county king Wakda to lead two red flags, the Han army was facing the white flag, and transferred green battalions from Xuzhou and other places, totaling more than [-] people, to reinforce Hedong in multiple ways.

At this time, after the re-mobilization of troops, the 55 Qing army and 15 weaker soldiers were deployed in Lianghuai and Shandong to defend against the Ming Dynasty in the south. 10 troops stationed in Henan, defending the Wei army in the two directions of Tongguan and Nanyang, another 10 are outside the pass, more than 15 are in Beijing, and the Shanxi army has increased to [-]. The mobile force in the hands of the Qing Dynasty is only The [-] troops under the control of Jierharang and Haug.

Now the situation of Dorgun has become very bad. There is pressure from the Western Wei Dynasty outside, and the interior is not peaceful. In addition to Jiang Xiang and other Han warlords who support their own self-respect, there are also people from Jierhalang and Haoge brought challenges.

Originally, when Dorgon was going to let Jierharang and Haoge return to the army, he took the opportunity to enter Datong, remove Jiang Xiang's thunder, and gradually remove the military power of the Han warlords in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and strengthen the rule of the Qing court.

The Qing Dynasty just defeated Mobei Mongolia, and at the same time invaded Yongliang, the morale was boosted, and the Eight Banners regained their dignity. The Qing army wanted to use Datong in the name of aiding Hedong and recovering Pujin Pass. Jiang Xiang must not dare If there is any action, it is a good time to solve this hidden danger, but Jierharang and Hauge disobeyed his order, which disrupted his plan.

Dorgon angrily threw the memorial on the table. The Qing Dynasty must let him have the final say. When Hauge returns to Beijing, he must be dealt with.

"Prince Regent!" A person in the outer hall shouted, drawing Dorgon's attention back. He raised his head and fixed his eyes, but Azige and Hong Chengchou came over.

Dorgon couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the two people walking in a hurry, "Is there something going on in Shanxi?"

The two saluted first, and Hong Chengchou said: "The regent is not Shanxi, but Prince Zhuang and Prince Su have retreated to Hetao. There may be something wrong with the 8 troops who attacked the Great Wall!"

"What!" Dorgon yelled, "What's going on?"

Hong Chengchou said: "The specific situation is not clear. The military newspaper only said that King Zhuang and King Su made an agreement with Obai to let Obai rush into northern Shaanxi, outflank Li Guo and Gao Yigong in northern Shaanxi, and attack the Wei army from both inside and outside. The Great Wall defense line, but when Zhuang Wang and Su Wang sent troops according to the agreement, they saw that the pass city was full of heads, and the army stationed outside the pass for many days, still did not wait for the agreed signal, Zhuang Wang and Su Wang retreated to Hetao."

Azige said: "The imperial court asked them to retreat. They were greedy for merit, refused to obey orders, and ruined the imperial army. They should be damned!"

Dorgon's face sank like water, his body softened, and he sat back on the throne, lost in thought.

The loss of 8 people is equivalent to the swallowed Mobei Mongolia, all reimbursed, and tens of thousands of compensation, and most of the compensation is the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of Eastern Mongolia, and the old-fashioned coating.

Good guy, he didn't make [-] in one go, and he was even more prodigal than Duoduo. The mobile force of the Qing Dynasty was almost wiped out by two self-righteous idiots.

For a moment, Dorgon was in an extremely complicated mood. He was angry at the loss of 8 horses, and at the same time felt a little joy at the failure of Jierhalang and Haoge.

But generally speaking, the anger overwhelmed the joy in my heart. After all, the loss of mobile forces indicated that no matter how difficult it was for the Qing Dynasty to organize active attacks, the strategy might shift from offense to defense, and it would be unable to continue to implement the plan to block the expansion of the Western Wei Dynasty. It became a turning point in the situation between the Qing and Wei Dynasties.

"Jierhalang and Haoge, deserve death and apology!" Dorgon said every word from his mouth with a sullen face and gritted teeth.

Azig nodded in agreement, "This king also thinks it should be so, we must punish the prince!"

Hong Chengchou was startled, and hurriedly said: "Regent, King Ying, now is not the time to discuss punishment, but how to deal with it. King Zhuang and King Su don't know the specific situation in Guanzhong, and neither do we. Minister I think we should first figure out what the situation of the 8 troops in the pass is. The [-] troops should not be wiped out so easily. If they are trapped in the pass, we should try to rescue them. If they are really wiped out by the Wei army, we should consider and take them back as soon as possible. Pujin Pass, lest the Wei army send troops to the east of the river!"

Dorgon was silent for a while, and then said for a while: "Scholar Hong is right, you go to order immediately, let Jierhalang and Haoge find out the situation in the pass, if the troops are still there, try to rescue them, if they are destroyed, let them They withdrew immediately, leaving their soldiers and horses in Guihua City, and the two quickly returned to Beijing to return to their orders, and this king will let the King of England take over the army!"

Hearing the words, Hong Chengchou had a bad premonition in his heart. He was about to speak, but Dorgon waved his hand and said coldly, "You step back, I have something important to discuss with the King of England."

Seeing the murderous look in Dorgon's eyes, Hong Chengchou wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The Manchus had always been wary of the involvement of Han Chinese in their internal affairs, Hong Chengchou saw Dorgon driving him back, so he could only salute, bowed and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

In Beijing, in the cabinet of the Qing court, Hong Chengchou sat worriedly in the public room, while Hou Fangyu brought in some official documents, put them on his desk, and said casually, "Zhongtang seems to have something on his mind today."

Hong Chengchou looked up and saw him, "I have a premonition of something, but I can't stop it..."

Hou Fangyu stood aside respectfully, "I have the guts to ask, what can make adults feel powerless?"

Hong Chengchou still valued Hou Fangyu more. He came from a famous family, was quite talented and learned, and had a bad reputation. He was a junior he valued very much.

"Although no one mentions it, the government and the public know that the regent is at odds with Prince Su and Prince Zhuang." Hong Chengchou said: "There is news from the front that King Zhuang and King Su may suffer a big defeat. When people return to Beijing, I am worried that the regent will be disadvantageous to the two kings at this time."

Hou Fangyu frowned, and said seriously, "If the front line is not good, our Qing Dynasty should unite as one. King Zhuang and King Su are both important ministers of our Qing Dynasty. Why didn't Zhongtang persuade the regent?"

"The Regent will not let the officials participate in these matters, and will not even let us know." Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice, "You have to know that the Manchus will not let the Han people see their internal strife."

"Then what should we do about this matter, Master Zhongtang is on the side of the regent?" Hou Fangyu asked worriedly: "If King Zhuang and King Su fall, the internal balance of the Qing Dynasty will be broken, and when the regent king dominates, the emperor will~~ ~~~~"

Hong Chengchou interrupted Hou Fangyu with a wave of his hand, "I'm not on anyone's side, but on the side of the Qing Dynasty." Then he shook his head, "This matter is just my guess, don't spread it randomly."

Hou Fangyu bowed immediately, and tactfully stopped mentioning it, but took out a file and said: "Zhongtang, this is the account book sent by the Ministry of Industry. Zhubaofang asked the court to allocate 20 yuan in silver to buy refined iron and copper. ingot."

"Did you make something, and another 20?" Hong Chengchou frowned, a little unhappy.

Hou Fangyu bowed and said: "Back to the Zhongtang, the self-generating guns and bronze cannons have been made. The few Xiyi who are coming to the Zhongtang have played a great role, but the craftsmanship is not yet mature, and there is a lack of skilled craftsmen and raw materials. Production is restricted. This time the Ministry of Industry wants 20 taels, which is used to purchase raw materials.”

Hong Chengchou nodded, but he couldn't handle the transfer of money, so he had to go to Manren's Shangshu, so he sighed: "I know about this matter!"

In the evening, Hou Fangyu left the yamen, returned to the mansion, put on his usual clothes, and went out to the Fireworks and Willow Lane in Beijing.
