Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 430 Ping Yang Ce

After receiving the news of Hauge's defeat, Dorgon couldn't help laughing wantonly. Although he hasn't confirmed whether Hauge died in battle, but he lost so many troops, so what if he comes back alive? He is an elite confidant, he has no threat at all, and has become a tiger without claws. When he returns to Beijing, he can only be handled by the Dorgon brothers.

Although the elite of the [-] Banners made him very heartbroken, the ones Hauge took away were all the elite that Huang Taiji managed to form back then, which was the most elite part of the Eight Banners.Regardless of the quality of the soldiers, the other banners are crowned, and the generals among them are all outstanding, such as that Obai, such as that Hilger. Dorgon believes that he has few warriors who can match them.

But when such an elite can't be in his hands, it's his own threat, and it's better to die, but Dorgon still can't help but feel cold when he thinks that Yang Chao has killed another [-] elite soldiers.

Think about it, there are almost 5. After the Eight Banners entered the customs, excluding those who died in Yang Chao's hands, including those who died of illness, less than [-] people died, and he killed [-] by himself.

There are more than 2 people who are full of Eight Banners alone. In the two wars in Yangzhou, 3 people were full of Eight Banners. elite.

There are a total of more than 5 Ding mouths in the Eight Banners, and more than half of them have been lost. It turned out that most of them were caused by Yang Chao. This battle is really impossible. No wonder those banner owners are clamoring to return to Liaodong. It’s not that they are short-sighted. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was [-] times richer than Liaodong was because they really couldn't accept the loss of their pockets and thus lost their power.

The situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was much more complicated than Yang Chao thought. Yang Chao only guessed that Dorgon used the land to buy people's hearts. If he chooses, he will never adopt such a policy of injuring the enemy ten thousand and self-injury eight thousand.

In order to buy off these little masters, the people in the whole of Beizhili are now in a turmoil, and there are constant rebellions, and the Qing army hardly goes a day without fighting.

It can be said that if there is a choice, Dorgon is absolutely unwilling to use this kind of desperate plan, which is equivalent to sending the entire Beizhili out at once. If more land cannot be laid down, the power in the hands of the court will be greatly weakened , and the power of the imperial court is now the power of Dorgon. Dorgon, like Huang Taiji, has been working hard to strengthen the power of the Qing court.

But Duoduo was defeated twice, losing tens of thousands of troops. The first time was better, but the second time, a large number of princes and banner owners asked to return to Liaodong. They tried their best to create a terrifying atmosphere in each banner. Exaggerating the horror of Yang Chao, and promoting Yang Chao as a terrifying figure like Li Chengliang, really frightened a large number of weak-willed old dignitaries.

Dorgon tried every means to stabilize the situation, made a compromise, and activated Hauge.But these old guys never imagined that Dorgon's use of Hauge was actually part of a conspiracy, not really under their pressure, and the target of this conspiracy was not only targeting Hauge, but also targeting them, the old dignitaries.

If Dorgon's strategy is not perfectly implemented, it is estimated that Hauge will lose, and these old dignitaries will probably encourage the Eight Banners to return to Liaodong again, and this time they are likely to get the support of the vast majority of people.

But now those banner owners just want to go back, I am afraid that the little Baylors below them will not agree. The land is better than the land outside the Guan. Although the fertility is not as good as outside the Guan, they are all mature fields. The climate is much better than that in Liaodong. The crops are harvested twice a year. Who dared to think that in Liaodong.

Dorgon killed two birds with one stone, he used Yang Chao's knife to behead Hauge, and then passed through the land of the Han people to empty the old dignitaries. Now the Qing court can restrain him, Dorgon feels that he can't find him even with a lantern, so Then you can use some characters that you didn't dare to use before, and you were a little threatening to yourself.

The first thing Dorgon thought of was Hong Chengchou. After entering the customs, although Dorgon won the Eight Banners infighting, he still felt powerless in the face of such a behemoth of the Ming Dynasty. The difficulty far exceeds the political experience accumulated by Dorgon and the others in Liaodong.

"The old minister sees the regent!"

After being conquered by Huang Taiji, Hong Chengchou has always been supported by his idle job. As the biggest civil servant of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he has always been used as a banner. No one dares to rest assured if he really wants to use it. The reason is very simple. Unlike the Liaodong Han officials who joined the Eight Banners with their families, Hong Chengchou surrendered alone. Hong Chengchou’s hometown is still in Fujian, so if this person is released, who knows if he will defect before the battle and go to the Ming Dynasty? up.

But now Dorgon has to use Hong Chengchou. It is more appropriate for the affairs of the Ming Dynasty to be handled by a big bureaucrat like the Ming Dynasty.

However, Dorgon still appreciates Hong Chengchou's behavior. Since the surrender, he has been very submissive, neither as flattering as those Baoyi, nor as arrogant as the Eight Banners dignitaries. Dorgon appreciates the literati demeanor.

"Your Majesty Hong is exempt from courtesy. The king invited you here because I have something to ask for advice."

Dorgon's attitude was very modest, assuming the posture of a virtuous corporal.

"The regent has praised the old minister. The old minister is a rotten wood. How can He De dare to ask the prince to ask for advice."

Hong Chengchou appeared humble and polite, but his words were humble, but his tone was not humble at all.

"Your Majesty is too modest. To be honest, the incident in the south of the Yangtze River made me feel uncomfortable eating and sleeping. Dare I ask if you have a temple?"

Dorgon continued to pretend to be a student and asked Hong Chengchou for advice.

Hong Chengchou said: "My lord is worried about Yang Chao in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Dorgon said: "Exactly."

Hong Chengchou said: "The old minister has a strategy, and he can fight Yang with one fell swoop!"

Dorgon was overjoyed immediately: "Dare to ask the boss to teach me."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "The day reaches the head, the tail draws the tail, and the heart exerts strength!"

Dorgon asked puzzledly: "What is the head? What is the tail? What is the heart?"

Hong Chengchou said: "A place in the south of the Yangtze River is like a crouching tiger, Xu Huai is the head, Su Song is the tail, and Jinling is its heart!"

Dorgon nodded: "My lord is absolutely right."

Hong Chengchou continued: "Today Jiangnan and our Qing Dynasty are like two bulls at each other's horns. Our land is strong and strong, and the other people are rich and powerful, and they are evenly matched. But if we can't hold it for a long time, it will be at my disadvantage! Therefore, the advantage lies in the quick battle."

Hong Chengchou briefly analyzed the situation, and found that the Manchu Qing occupied a lot of territory and the quality of their soldiers was relatively strong, but Jiangnan was rich and able to maintain a stalemate for a long time.

"However, Jiangnan is a crouching tiger, connected head to tail, brother to foot, so it's hard to get all of it with one blow."

Dorgon nodded. Facts have proved that Duoduo's two expeditions to Jianghuai were defeated. Jiangnan is not a place that can be won in one fell swoop.

Hong Chengchou continued: "That's why, my Qing Dynasty should make it impossible for the head and the tail to look at each other, and the brothers and feet should not be able to meet each other, and then attack their confidantes in one fell swoop, and then kill them in one fell swoop."

Dorgon also thinks it makes sense, but what to do, everyone can tell the truth, but Hong Chengchou is not in a hurry to talk about the reality, which makes him a little anxious, and he sighs in his heart that these bright people like to beat around the bush when they talk, let's let it go People are confused when they listen, and then they explain your doubts to you. This problem is the only thing he doesn't like.

Regardless of Dorgon's feelings, Hong Chengchou still spoke slowly, but he finally got to the point.

"In this way, we should implement the strategy of reaching the head and pulling the tail, and stretching its head and tail. Xu Huai is the head, so we should deploy heavy troops in Shandong in the Qing Dynasty, so that they will not dare to divide Xu Huai. Su Song is the tail, so our Qing Dynasty should attack the two places of Fujian and Zhejiang, intimidate Su Song, and pull his tail. If the two strategies are successful, then rush to Jinling, which can break his heart in one fell swoop. This is to hit the head, lead the tail, It’s also a strategy to put your heart and soul into it.”

Dorgon couldn't help nodding after listening to it, and sighed in his heart that this old guy really had two skills, no wonder he was able to do the Ming Dynasty's strategy back then, and controlled the heavy troops to attack the Qing Dynasty.

But Dorgon still couldn't figure out some of the details, so he had to ask questions one by one.

"Dare to ask my lord, if Fujian and Zhejiang are attacked, how can Yang Chao not be saved?"

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "I see Yang Chao, who dominates the south of the Yangtze River, has long had the heart of disobedience. If we attack Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty, we will not save him."

Dorgon clapped his hands and praised: "If you don't save it, the plan will come true. Your lord should remember the first contribution. However, I am a new ruler, and no one can take up this great responsibility. This king implores your lord to come out of the mountain, and I hope your lord will come out." Work hard."

Duo ErGun made it clear that Hong ChengChou came forward.

Hong Chengchou said calmly: "The prince has an order, dare not obey it!"

Dorgon said happily: "Okay, wait for the king to play the Ming sage, and order the boss to be a strategist, control the soldiers and horses in Shandong, Huguang, and Jiangxi, and capture Jiangnan for my Qing Dynasty!"

When Dorgon and Hong Chengchou were discussing how to deal with Yang Chao, a group of old dignitaries in Beijing were also plotting.

It's just that these old dignitaries are a little depressed at this time.

"If you don't go back to Liaodong, Dingkou in Qizhong will die."

"We can't let Dorgon go on messing around like this."

"The foundation of my Qing Dynasty is in Liaodong."

"We dare to ask Prince Zheng to come out and preside over the overall situation."

Old guys in their forties shouted.

"enough!"

One of the majestic old dignitaries shouted.

"Are you still leaving now?"

All the dignitaries looked at Prince Zheng's appearance and couldn't help sighing.

In addition to Hauge, there are people who can compete with Dorgon, and there is only this Prince Zheng, Prince Zheng Jierhalang.

In addition to Dorgon, another person in the Qing court who was granted the title of assistant political uncle.

Jierhalang is a high-ranking and powerful nephew of Nurhachi, and the sixth son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhachi. As early as the Nurhachi era, he was one of the eight Baylors who discussed state affairs together. In the Huangtaiji era, he was one of the four princes. Up to now, he is the auxiliary political uncle alongside Dorgon.

"Okay, let's all go back, restrain the people, don't raise the issue again!"

However, in the hands of Dorgon, this high-ranking and powerful figure in the era of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji was always suppressed and could only endure blindly.
