"Lord Wang," Fan Wencheng will not leave until tomorrow, so he has to continue to give advice to Dolgon today, "The slave thinks it will be difficult for us to drive Li Zicheng away from Xi'an and Xiangyang now...... First, Li Zicheng himself refused to leave. The slave got the news that Li Zicheng had divided the land and slaves for his old battalion soldiers in Xiangyang and Shenyang, and the old battalion soldiers had become old soldiers, how could they leave? ”

Dolgon's brow furrowed, and he nodded slightly. This incident was indeed unexpected - Li Zicheng was actually learning from Zhu Cihong of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!

Now tens of thousands of veteran battalion soldiers have divided the land of Xiangyang and Shenyang, and they have become landlords' old wealth. Millions of acres of land and millions of people are in their hands, how can they give up so easily?

Moreover, the terrain of Xiangyang and Meteoric Sun is not conducive to attacking, there are really tens of thousands of old Dashun battalion soldiers desperately defending, does the Qing Dynasty dare to attack? How many children are there in the Eight Flags? Really killed tens of thousands, so don't you play eggs?

Fan Wencheng then said: "Second, Zhu Cihong now makes it clear that he wants to start a war with us, which is to carry half of our troops for Li Zicheng." There is no way for us to ignore the Southern Dynasties...... Even if the prince can endure it, the people below can't bear it! ”

"Not really!" Dolgon took a breath and said, "A Gege, what is this king reluctant to do for the sake of the Great Qing Kingdom?" And Zhu Cihong is indeed a hero, and he is definitely worthy of Dongor.

But Zhu Cihong will not give up for the sake of a woman, he will definitely find trouble in Liaodong and Liaoxi. ”

This Dolgon was able to create a foundation for the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years of co-ownership of the world, and of course it has its merits. And his greatest excellence is that his mind is very clear and he sees the problem very thoroughly - although the things he did around Beijing were erased as malpractices by later generations, if he didn't do this, most of the Qing Dynasty in history would be a situation of a great golden country, and there would never be more than 200 years of rivers and mountains!

And in this time and space, after the Battle of Dagukou, he regarded Zhu Cihong as an opponent who could be compared with himself...... For this opponent, he has no intention of taking it lightly.

Therefore, he has always been unwilling to have an all-out war with Zhu Cihong before completely defeating Li Zicheng. Even if Zhu Cihong launched a Northern Expedition aimed at responding to Li Zicheng last time, Dolgon did not launch a full-scale counterattack, but planned to marry his daughter to Zhu Cihong.

"Lord Wangming!" Fan Wencheng said, "Zhu Cihong is indeed a hero, so I must go all out to deal with him, and I must not deal with it with the teacher." ”

"That's right, the lion fights the rabbit, you have to ...... with all your strength" Dolgon nodded, his brows furrowed, "And Zhu Cihong is not an ordinary rabbit, we can't do our best!" ”

Fan Wencheng frowned, "Even if you do your best, you can only stop at the north bank of the Yangtze River." ”

Dolgon shook his head and said, "It's not the north bank of the Yangtze River, but the north bank of the Huai River!" ”

"The north bank of the Huai River?" Zilharang frowned and said, "The Huai River is not very wide, the water level is very shallow in winter, and it can still be crossed by the garrison, how can my Manchurian army not be able to cross?" ”

Dolgon said with a smile: "I read the history books and found that most of the people who took Jiangnan since ancient times were obtained by the Han Dynasty entering the river, and it is extremely rare to cross the river by crossing the river on the east road and taking the Jiangdong completely...... If Jiangdong cannot be pacified, it will be difficult for Jianghuai to take it all. After all, the terrain of Huainan is relatively narrow compared to Huaibei, the water network of Huaidong is all over the place, and Huaixi has great risks. Near the Yangtze River, there are also Anqing, Hezhou, Jiangpu, Yizheng, Yangzhou, Guazhou, Tongzhou and other cities that can be guarded by the river. Even if we get most of Huainan, we have to garrison large troops for a long time for a lasting defense. The little tax revenue from Huainan may not be enough to pay for the soldiers.

Moreover, the Southern Dynasties arranged a lot in Shandong, especially a Dengzhou Jiancheng located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, which can be stationed in the boat division and navy, and now it is the lair of the Beiyang sailors. If it cannot be uprooted, there will be no peace in the coastal areas of eastern Liaoning, western Liaoning, and northern Zhili. Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Beizhi are the fundamental places of our Qing Dynasty, if they are under the front of the Southern Dynasty day and night, even if the land of Huainan is won, it will not be able to hold on for a long time, it is better to fight north of the Huai River. First, there are all the lands of Shandong and Henan, and then Xu Tu Jingzhou and Xiangyang. If you can get the Jingxiang Prefectures, let's consider taking the southeast plan. ”

"It's still the regent Gao Ming!" After listening to Dolgon's tirade, Zilharang nodded admiringly, "Then how should we pacify Henan and Shandong?" Since the prince of the Zhu family is looking forward to our progress in Henan and Shandong, he must be prepared, Henan and Shandong, I'm afraid it will not be easy to take, right? ”

Dolgon thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Since you want the lion to fight the rabbit, you have to withdraw the soldiers of the old twelve (Azig) and the old fifteen (Duoduo) from Shaanxi...... It can't be withdrawn, and it is necessary to hold Tongguan, Yan'an and Yulin, so that it can occupy the geographical advantages of Shaanxi. For other turf, let Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng fight for it. ”

According to Dolgon's arrangement, Shaanxi is divided into three parts of the world, namely Qing, Shun, and Wu - and his arrangement is tantamount to seeing Wu Sangui as a semi-independent force.

Jierharang calculated in his heart: "King Su has gathered a lot of new soldiers, there are 60,000 or 70,000 people on hand, and the King of Ying and King Yu brought no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses to Shaanxi, leaving 20,000, and 30,000 can be drawn, and the combined army is 100,000 people!" ”

Of course, these 100,000 people can't all be real Manchuria, and the number of real Manchuria together is not so much! Even if the Han army incorporated into each banner is counted, it will not be able to pull out 100,000 people. Among these 100,000 people, 30,000 or 40,000 were the so-called green battalion soldiers, who were originally either Ming troops or local heroes, and some were leftovers in the Dashun army system. Now they have all been incorporated by the Qing Dynasty, and they are paid one or two halves to two taels of silver. However, their strength in fighting as soldiers is not much worse, because they can burn and loot with Uncle Eight Banners......

In history, when these green battalion soldiers attacked Nanming, their means were ruthless and their strength was so strong that they were definitely not under the Eight Banners!

Dolgon nodded, "There are still troops on the Shanxi side, so you can let the old twelve lead the troops to deal with ...... Deal with Datong first, and then clean up the acting king on Luliang Mountain! ”

"Regent, are you going to attack Datong City?"

"No siege."

"Or a siege?"

Dolgon smiled: "Nor besieged...... They are strong, let's clear the wilderness. This king does not believe that they can grow crops in the walls of Datong to feed themselves! ”

"High! It's too high! ”

"The Lord Regent is wise!"

"With the regent here, our Qing Dynasty's foundation in the north is stable!"

In the Wuying Palace, there was a sudden sound of praise and praise, and Dolgon also laughed proudly. After a while, he put away his laughter, sank his face again, and looked at Ji'er Harang: "King Zheng, do you think King Su can take on the heavy responsibility of commanding tens of thousands of troops?" ”

Prince Su Haoge is now the commander of the Qing army on the East Road, and has now led his troops to capture the city of Kaifeng, and has also taken over the territory left by Wu Sangui after entering Tongguan. Next, if he wants to attack the territory of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong and Henan, he should be the commander.

But Dolgon didn't want Hauge to make a great contribution, and let Hauge pick up a bargain in Beijing last time, and had to restore his princehood. And he's still a little worried about Hauge...... Haoge is stupid, don't let the sinister and cunning Zhu Cihong defeat him!

"Regent, you want to ......" Zilharan looked at Dorgon.

Dorgon spoke his mind, "How about having Dodor as the manager?" ”

"Lord Regent," Zilharang shook his head, "do you think King Su and Ao Bai will be able to listen to Prince Yu's command?" ”

"Then King Yu won't listen to King Su." Dorgon knew his brother too well.

Duoduo himself had a chance to be emperor, but was disturbed by Hauge's father, Emperor Taiji, and his son Dolbo also had a chance to become emperor (Dolbo was Dorgon's heir), and was disturbed by Hauge.

Add a piece of new hatred and old hatred, but don't defeat Zhu Cihong, their uncle and nephew bit it first.

Jierharang thought for a while, "If you don't let them fight their own, let King Su continue to fight Henan, and let King Yu fight Shandong." ”

Dorgon nodded, "That's all there is to it!" He said to He Luohui again, "He Luohui, you should also move, bring 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers and 10,000 Green Battalion soldiers to support Duoduo." ”
