After Meng Zhengfa left with the eunuch, Dolgon hastily stuffed He Tengjiao's handwritten letter into his sleeve, and rushed impatiently towards the Qianqing Palace.

Sure enough, consistent with the information he obtained, He Tengjiao's letter detailed the great victory of the Chu army in Wuchang, and said that Zhu Linmiao's "rebel army" would be wiped out within two months, and then the three-way army went out together to attack Sichuan, Guangxi, and Jiangxi. At the end of the letter, the Qing Dynasty was invited to send troops to attack Nanzhili at the same time, and the two sides attacked from east to west, and Zhu Linmiao's small court would die!

"Bumu Butai, God bless the Qing Dynasty!" In the Qianqing Palace, Dolgon couldn't hide his excitement, and took out He Tengjiao's secret letter and raised it, "This is sent by the barbarian Governor of Huguang." ”

Although Xiaozhuang had already guessed the general content of the letter—that Jebuku had been sent to Nanking by her, she knew the whole thing in more detail than Dorgon. But she also knew the importance of showing weakness in front of Dolgon, so she still feigned surprise and said, "Why did the barbarian give you a letter?" ”

"Nanming is in chaos!" Dolgon sat down on the couch with a big grin, reached out and took a sip of the tea on the table, and continued, "This Zhebuku errand is doing a good job, and cooperating with He Tengjiao to rob the little emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty to Huguang. Now He Tengjiao has gathered more than 100,000 troops, embraced the little cub and set the capital of Wuchang, and spread the rumor to fight against Zhu Linmiao. ”

Xiao Zhuang said: "This is a rare opportunity. When they are both defeated, the regent can send troops to the south and conquer the world in one fell swoop! ”

Dorgon nodded, "Exactly! A few days ago, He Tengjiao attacked and destroyed more than 15,000 Zhu Linmi's army, and Zhu Linmiao had transferred the Ming army to the south to enter the lake to relieve the siege. It is reported that there are only three or four thousand barbarian soldiers and horses in the Nanjing area, and they are defending the emptiness! ”

Xiaozhuang knew that he still had a follow-up, so he just looked at him quietly.

Sure enough, Dolgon said again: "I want to seize this opportunity and unify the Central Plains," he looked at Xiaozhuang, his expression was very solemn, "I must have you help me!" ”

The latter bowed his head and said, "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Two things." Dolgon said, "First, although the Southern Ming Dynasty is chaotic, there are still thousands of miles of territory, and I must work together to take it down. Therefore, if I send a large army to the south, there will be no one in the court to hinder me. ”

"You mean Prince Su, right?"

Although Luo Luohun was unfavorable in Sichuan, and Xiaozhuang made peace with Zhang Xianzhong for Dolgon, Haoge no longer had the aggressive momentum he had before. However, Dolgon's peace with the Khalkha people in Mobei could not be shirked, and the two red flags, which suffered huge losses in the Battle of Jurong, were dissatisfied with him, and there were not a few people who supported Haoge in the DPRK.

Dolgon said, "Who else but him?" ”

"I'm just a woman, where can he listen to me?"

"The rules of my Qing Dynasty are that everything is determined by the size of the military merit." Dolgon had already thought of a way on the way to the Qianqing Palace, "You only need to convene the Eight Banners Banner Lord and the Minister of Parliament as the Queen Mother, and help me make an agreement with Haoge - I am in Nanzhili, he is in Sichuan, whoever has laid down more land in Nanming, will listen to whoever he wants in the future!" Until then, we don't get in the way. ”

The news of Huguang that Dolgon's honor guard was that the news of Huguang had not yet spread, and Haoge must have thought that the main force of Nanming was still in Nanzhili, so most of them would agree to this condition.

Xiaozhuang nodded thoughtfully, "This is a way, you can't keep fighting like this." Well, I'll help you convince Hauge and the kings. Then she asked Dorgon, "You just said that there are two things, but what about the other?" ”

Dolgon took a deep breath, stared into her eyes, and said, "Borrow me two yellow flags." ”

Xiaozhuang immediately frowned slightly, and his body subconsciously leaned back. The two yellow flags are the most elite combat power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have always been directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and they are near the Gongwei Beijing Division.

It can be said that the two yellow flag soldiers and horses are the life talisman of the little emperor of Shunzhi. If she were given to Dorgon, she would be able to depose her son at any time and proclaim herself emperor.

Dolgon had already retired from the subordinates in the Qianqing Palace, and at this time, he grasped Xiaozhuang's hands, put them on his mouth without any scruples, and said affectionately: "Bumu Butai, after so many years, don't you know my intentions?" I have always regarded Fulin as my own son, and I am willing to exchange my life for the happiness of your mother and son.

"Who am I building for? Not for our blessing?!

"Don't hesitate any longer, my Bumu Butai! The previous defeat of Bolo and Luckedhun, and the collapse of more than 100,000 troops in Jiangnan, was a lesson. Although Zhu Linmi's men only have 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, they are equipped with extremely sophisticated firearms, and he is a cunning man, and we must do our best to ensure that we can kill the enemy with one blow! If you despise it again, when my two white flags are gone, with only two yellow flags, do you think you can win with confidence? ”

Xiaozhuang was immediately stunned, although she was quite strategic, but she didn't know anything about the specific battle. Previously, she had always thought that the defeat of Bolo, Lekdehun and others was due to the treacherous tricks of the southerners or the underestimation of the enemy, but today after listening to what Dolgon said, she knew that the victory of this Ming army was not a fluke.

Seeing that she seemed to be shaken, Dorgon hurriedly continued, "I swear! As long as the Nanming is eradicated, I will immediately hand over the government to Fulin to take care of. He squeezed Xiaozhuang's hand again and said softly, "At that time, we will go back to Shengjing, find a beautiful place, and spend the rest of our lives together." ”

Xiaozhuang looked at his sincere eyes, weighed it again and again in his heart, and finally nodded slightly.

The next day, the Manchu princes and Beile led by Dai Shan and Jierharang, as well as Fan Wencheng, Ma Guangyuan and other Manchu and Han ministers gathered in the Qianqing Palace. Of course, Dolgon and Hauge, who are the protagonists, arrive early in the morning.

Xiaozhuang said some scenes first, and quickly cut to the chase: "Even I can see that if the Qing Dynasty continues to have such internal friction, don't say that the unification of the Central Plains is far away, and it is not certain whether it can keep the current territory." ”

Hauge squinted at Dolgon and said, "There is something in the words of the Queen Mother. ”

"I'm just for the Qing Dynasty." Xiaozhuang said, "The emperor is still young, and the government still needs to rely on you, but there can only be one person in charge." ”

Hauge rolled his eyes, "No matter who is in charge, it can't be him Dolgon, I'm the first to disagree!" ”

"Hmph, it's not me, is it you, a guy who can't even defend Sichuan?"

"Haha, I don't know who lost the huge Zhejiang and Nanzhili?"

"You!"

Xiaozhuang hurriedly stopped the two, "What is the prestige in your own home?" Those who can open up territory for me in the Qing Dynasty are the real warriors of Jianzhou! ”

Hauge immediately agreed: "Our Lady Queen Mother is right! If I am in charge of the overall situation, I can pacify Jiangnan in a few months! ”

Xiaozhuang waved his hand and said: "Prince Su's men and horses are stationed in Hanzhong, but it is not suitable to transfer them back to capture Jiangnan. And Prince Yu's army has already set up a position in Yangzhou, and it is beyond the reach of the Sichuan war situation. And these two sides are the key points of my Qing Dynasty to determine the world, and neither of them can be lost. ”
