Chapter 204 The Great Purge

Seven days later, Li Laiheng received a letter from Dorgon's special envoy. He asked Li Laiheng to give him a few days, and he would have a clear answer in a few days.

Li Laiheng just smiled at the envoy and said, you can go back.

The confused envoy returned to Duo ErGun.Dorgon couldn't figure out Li Laiheng's intentions. Could it be that Li Laiheng was planning a new candidate?
Now, of course, there are many people who can replace him. Even if they are directly related to Nurhachi, there are no less than ten people with outstanding military exploits and super abilities. Among them, Daishan, Haoge, Azig, Duoduo, etc. can become the leader of the Manchus.In the past struggles, Dorgon was the winner. He defeated competitors such as Daishan and Haoge with his wisdom, accumulated military exploits, and strong supporters.However, the victory in this battle is based on strength. Without strength, no matter how wise or brutal he is, it will not be his turn to be the actual supreme ruler of the Manchus.This time is different, he is fighting with other people as the supreme ruler of Manchu. grievable.

Accepting Li Laiheng's request is a fact that is difficult or unacceptable for the Manchus.It is easier to unify the will of the entire nation than collective struggle.There is no shortage of people who fight to the end among the high-level Manchus.No matter what their purpose is, whether it is national spirit or pure embarrassment to Dorgon, anyway, one effect is obvious. Dorgon is a minority in the clan meeting, and he is also the target of criticism.This battle is not easy to fight, and everyone's intention is obvious, that is, he will step down and choose a courageous and talented person to lead them to fight against Li Laiheng's invasion.Of course, Dorgon understands better that the so-called resistance is just a banner, and getting rid of Dorgon is their real goal.

Death is worse than death on the battlefield!Death is on the battlefield, and he must die if he is not on the battlefield. His political enemies will also let him die.When he died, Fulin had to die too, the beauty of Xiaozhuang would be embraced by others again, and the young Hauge's Fujin Dulema would be ridden happily by others again.Dorgon is in a desperate situation, he is in a dilemma, he has to die on both sides.

It's a pity that Dorgon didn't want to die.

There is one way to not die, and that is to let others die.

Another three days later, riots broke out in Shenyang City, and a large number of Zhengbai Banner soldiers will patrol and search the streets.

Information came soon, and Dorgon began to kill and poke, basically killing those who opposed him without mercy.

Li Laiheng was looking forward to this day.It is impossible to conquer without bloodshed at all. After the Manchus have been cleaned, it is not necessarily a bad thing for them. Unification of will often requires violence, otherwise, it will only bring more blood.

The cleansing extended to the entire Northeast, and ten days later, Dorgon's special envoy came.What he sent was a drop watch.In the name of Emperor Shunzhi, he requested a truce and expressed his submission to the leadership of Marshal Li Laiheng.

Dorgon still didn't dare to show up, he was hiding in a certain place under the strict protection of Zhengbai Banner.His killing this time was the bloodiest scene in Manchu history. More than 1 leaders of the Eight Banners, clan princes, ministers and counselors were beheaded within ten days.The entire territory of the Manchus is basically under the control of Dorgon, except for the assassins sent by the Avengers.

Li Laiheng asked the Manchu army to move the camp, and Li Laiheng's cronies were stationed as supervisors in the Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners.Li Laiheng [-] infantry stationed in Shenyang.

On this day, Li Laiheng met Dorgon, Fulin and his mother.

Xiaozhuang, Li Laiheng (Li Xiang) has seen it in TV dramas before, but the real Xiaozhuang is much more beautiful than the one on TV.However, the current her is noble and humble, and reserved and fearful.

"As the emperor who was once stationed in the Forbidden City of Beijing, as well as the emperor's father, the regent, and the empress dowager, I, Li Laiheng, would like to express my sincere respect to you. As a new nation, your rise is worthy of respect and pride. You have produced a large number of talents. I, Li Laiheng, thank you for your contribution to the Chinese nation. If you are allowed to govern China, I know that you will have glory, but of course, the final outcome will be sad. Therefore, you cannot be the rulers of the Chinese nation.” Li Laiheng Say.

"Can't we be on our territory?" Dorgon said.

"This is all China's territory." Li Laiheng said.

"Then we are developing outwards, can't we move to the Far East of Russia after crossing the Greater Khingan Mountains?" Dorgon continued.

Li Laiheng said: "There will be a superpower in the East, can't you be a member of this superpower?" Li Laiheng asked back.

Dorgon didn't understand half of it, he couldn't imagine what Li Laiheng said about a superpower.In his impression, the original Ming Dynasty was a super empire.

"Our future empire will be like the era of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. Do you know the era of Kublai Khan?"

Of course Dorgon knew.In Kublai Khan's time, the territory of the Yuan Empire reached Central Asia, West Asia, and as far as Europe and almost half of Russia were within his territory.Does Li Laiheng have such big ambitions?

Li Laiheng did not.He does not have too much greed for a super-large country. If the country is too large, it will be difficult to govern. What he pursues is the emergence of a super-powerful empire.It was difficult for him to communicate with Dorgon on these issues. In the end, he just told him that Li Laiheng was neither prepared nor hoped to eliminate the Manchus and their existing bureaucratic institutions. make a unified contribution.Therefore, Li Laiheng promised that the team led by Dorgon, as part of Li Laiheng's group, would be responsible for conquering the north and other places.

Dorgon understood.He can continue to develop, not just submit.This kind of ending is of course the best. Dorgon is naturally very happy that he can have his own army and bureaucracy without being wiped out or enslaved.

What about Fulin?
Fulin was named Pingbei King by Li Laiheng, and Dorgon was named Pingbei Marshal.

Thus ended the campaign in the North.

Back in Beijing, Azig and Duoduo came to see Li Laiheng.Where did they ever think that there would be a chance to return to Beijing?For many days, they were caught between Li Yan's troops and the Nanming army, knowing that they would be wiped out sooner or later.When they were in a dilemma, they received Dorgon's instructions and went to Beijing to accept Li Laiheng's arrangement.

It's not surrender, but you can still live. Azig and Duoduo heard the sound of nature.

Azig and Duoduo were arranged to go north, and they were responsible for conquering the vast area in the northwest.

To conquer Nanming, Li Laiheng could not rely on the power of foreign tribes, he had to deal with it himself.Nanming took it for granted that they were the orthodox in China, so Li Laiheng had no other choice but violence to conquer Nanming.

Just as Azig and Duoduo moved northward, Wu Sangui suddenly announced the establishment of the Wu Zhou Empire.Li Laiheng knew that after the Manchu Qing regime was overthrown, he had no backer, so he could only go this way, because not only did he surrender to the Manchu Qing, but he also killed Emperor Yongli.Therefore, it is impossible for him to turn to Emperor Hongguang and return to Nanming's embrace.

Wu Sangui became independent, Li Laiheng had a new goal, he was going to eliminate Wu Sangui.

Elimination of Wu Sangui can get the support of several forces, Li Zicheng's old army, Nanming army, including Zhang Xianzhong's army.
