Chapter 458: The Eagle and the Dove
Dolgon was naturally furious, he had been crushed by himself, and the flies under his feet actually broke ground on Tai Sui's head with teeth and claws?
Dolgon didn't say much, and walked away, naturally, why should his position be angry with such a stupid thing in the court?
He has his team, the Regent's Palace, and is known as the second court.
Go back and find a stubble and settle this group of barbarians.
But Dolgon didn't expect that the ten-year-old Shunzhi Emperor, who was regarded as a child by himself, loved Xinjueluo? Blessings, it's already clear.
Although he is not yet familiar with the world, he has been on the throne for four years, and the Manchu nature is competitive and his natural superiority as an emperor makes him unable to tolerate Dolgon's arrogance and domineering.
Just in the second half of last year, in order to monopolize the power, Dolgon only used the construction of the Zilharang Mansion to exceed the system, unauthorized use of bronze lions, copper turtles, and bronze cranes, fined 2,000 silver, and removed the power of the auxiliary government of Prince Zheng Zilharang, as a result, Dolgon began to monopolize the government alone, and the system was reformed, and the regent did not need to bow to the emperor.
Prince Zheng Zilharang was the auxiliary minister when Fulin ascended the throne, and he restrained Dolgon, and his deposition caused a huge impact on Fulin's heart.
Dolgon's talent and courage, coupled with the weak lord and strong ministers, regarded himself as the regent of his uncle, and it was inevitable that he would be domineering, which caused Fu Lin to have a secret alliance with Dolgon.
I'm worried that I don't have a chance to clean up Dorgon, no, here's the opportunity.
Fu Lin reprimanded Dolgon for his wrong strategy, which caused the court's strategy to be passive, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and Dolgon was only fined for half a year.
Fulin is very smart, he knows that rabbits will bite if they are in a hurry, let alone Dolgon, who is in power?
Therefore, the punishment is only the point, and the purpose he wants to achieve is to hit Dolgon's arrogance on the court, so that the courtiers know the direction of the qi, so that there will naturally be people with a heart to give him advice.
At the same time, Fulin adopted Hong Chengchou's advice and once again negotiated a truce with the Qingtai Dynasty.
Fu Lin issued an edict, with Hong Chengchou as the main envoy and Chen Hongfan as the deputy envoy, and went south to Yingtianfu to make peace with the Qingtai Dynasty.
The issuance of this edict struck a blow at Dorgon.
But the problem is that even if he does have power in the government and the opposition, he is not a monarch or a minister after all, and in the face of the edict, he will either oppose it, or knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Dorgon chose the latter, but he had already woken up to the fact that the kid on the throne had already begun to guard against and suppress himself.
And for the fall of Hong Chengchou and others, Dolgon held a grudge.
But can Dorgon let the situation go like this?
Of course not!
Clearly against the edict of Fulin, this will definitely not work.
Then the only way to open a breakthrough is from Hong Chengchou's subordination, but the problem is that Hong Chengchou will go south to negotiate peace with the Qingtai Dynasty again, and it is too late to counteract.
But this did not bother Dorgon, and he quickly decided to sabotage the peace talks.
In fact, at this time, Dolgon really didn't have any opinion on the peace talks themselves, he actually thought that he should not be entangled with the Qingtai Dynasty at this time, he just started this war in a hurry because of a letter with Duoduo.
In fact, he also wanted to stop fighting at this time, and concentrated his forces to pacify Fujian and Guangzhou.
But now, being stirred up by Fulin and Hong Chengchou, Dolgon must react, Zhengzhi is like this, in a high position, you can't suffer a dumb loss, you have to fight back, otherwise, the ministers above the court and officials everywhere will think that you Dolgon has lost power, once this kind of public opinion is formed, then it is not far from the real loss of power, and it is impossible for Dolgon to explain to the officials one by one that he only cares about the emperor's face and his generosity, and the adults do not care about the villains.
Therefore, the higher you are in a high position, the more you cannot tolerate others offending your majesty.
In other words, at this time, Dorgon was only opposing for the sake of opposition, and it had nothing to do with whether the matter was right or not.
Dolgon's countermeasure was very simple, that is, taking advantage of the fact that Hong Chengchou and others had not yet moved south, he ordered the Qing army in Jiangbei to rush to the Yangtze River within three days before Hong Chengchou's mission arrived at the Yangtze River, recover Yizhen, and completely annihilate Yizhen's Ming army.
Only in this way will the imperial court's attitude towards peace talks change, just imagine, the Ming army that came to invade was completely annihilated, then it was a fart, just continue to attack.
Then let the courtiers take the initiative to oppose the peace talks, which is far more appropriate than going out to the front on their own.
This negates Hong Chengchou's Huairou strategy, and at the same time gives Fulin a resounding slap in the face.
But this matter is not simple, although Dolgon is in a high position, and is worshiped by the emperor as a general, in terms of name, he is equivalent to the generalissimo of the world's Real Madrid, and he can indeed give orders to all the troops under the name of the Qing court.
But this is only in name, if it really comes to an army, then the commander of that army has to be given, and if Dolgon is not given this face, the so-called county officials are better than the current management.
And the current commander of the Jiangbei Qing Army will definitely not give Dolgon face.
Because this coach is Prince Zheng Zilharang.
If among the tens of thousands of officials in the Qing court, if you want to find a few who do not sell Dolgon's accounts, Zilharang is definitely the first.
Zilharang was the unlucky guy who was overstepped by Dolgon's mansion building, used bronze lions, bronze turtles, and bronze cranes without authorization, fined 2,000 silver, and deposed the auxiliary power.
Think about it, anyone who puts himself in his shoes will grit his teeth with hatred for Dorgon.
Therefore, Dolgon wanted to make Zilharan obey his orders, and undoubtedly Kigi begged for fish.
But Dolgon still has a way, and he can't directly command the Jiangbei Qing army, but he is the regent and can be transferred to the chief general of the Jiangbei Qing army.
Although Jierharang was the chief general of the Qing army in Jiangbei, he was not in Yangzhou, but in Xuzhou.
At this time, it happened that Wu Sangui was transferred back to Guannai from Jinzhou by the Qing court, and he was originally planned to arrange for him to be in the same town of Hanzhong with Li Guohan, the general of the Han Army with the Eight Banners and Blue Banners, to kill the remnants of the Great Western Army in the northwest region.
But now, Dolgon wanted the two of them to make a temporary errand to take over the command of the Jiangbei Qing army from Zilharang.
Therefore, Dolgon sent an edict from the regent to summon Wu Sangui and Li Guohan to come to teach him face-to-face, and on the other hand, he sent 800 miles of fast horses, so that Zilharang would return to Beijing immediately and be appointed.
As a result, a fierce battle that no one was aware of broke out so inexplicably.
When Wu Zheng led his troops to Danyang, Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Wei was fighting fiercely with the Danyang Qing army.
Danyang is an important town, and to attack Zhenjiang, you first need to take Danyang, one is to cut off the north-south traffic of Zhenjiang Mansion, and the other is to open up the passage with Ying Tianfu.
And the Qing army naturally knew the importance of Danyang to the Qingtai Dynasty and sent heavy troops to defend it.
Xia Wanchun had been attacking for a whole day, and he hadn't made much progress.
Wu Zheng came at the right time, forming an east-west flank, which was a blow to the morale of the Qing army.
