Qianqing Palace.

Zheng Xunrui had read the information in his hand three times, and he felt that the time was ripe.

From the first year of Ruiyuan to the fourth year of Ruiyuan, more than three years of four years, he finally decided to officially start a war against the Qing Dynasty, this battle has only one purpose, that is, to completely destroy the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty does not allow the situation of territorial division, whether it is the land or grassland occupied by the Qing Dynasty, as long as it belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it must be recovered, and regardless of whether these places are barren or rich, the determination to maintain territorial integrity will never waver.

The Qing Dynasty has fallen into a desperate situation due to its internal and external difficulties, but a recent incident has pushed the Qing Dynasty into an even more dangerous situation, and its Manchu nobility has been shaken on a large scale.

The information of the Investigation Bureau is very detailed, the Prince Zheng of the Great Qing Kingdom, Zilharang, suffered the so-called assassination, Huang Taiji was furious, so he ordered Prince Rui Dolgon to investigate, and it was necessary to investigate who was the murderer, so that no one could have imagined that Dolgon did give the results of the investigation, and it was actually the personal soldiers around Zilharang who planned this assassination.

This is a very absurd result, as long as it is a normal person, they know that this is an impossible thing, the pro-soldiers assassinate their own masters, and they can't get any benefits, and Zilharang's status in the Great Qing Kingdom is not ordinary, and the pro-soldiers around him are naturally respected, unless there is a problem with the brain, they will do such an unbelievable thing.

The results of the investigation given by Dolgon aroused the anger of Huang Taiji, and also aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Zilharang, and more importantly, what Dolgon gave was only the confession of his own soldier, and this personal soldier had died after the interrogation, so why did the personal soldier assassinate Zilharang, and who was behind it. There is no way to investigate anything.

Of course, this displeased Zilharang, so much so that Zilharang and Dorgon had a direct quarrel in the Great Palace, and Zilharang was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that his own soldiers were interrogated to death, and scoffed at Dolgon's suggestion that he replace all his personal soldiers, which led to a direct confrontation between Zilharang and Dolgon.

Huang Taiji's attitude was very strange, and he did not affirm or deny the results of Dorgon's investigation.

Zheng Xunrui made his own judgment on this information. He thinks that this matter, the assassination of Jierharang has a lot to do with Huang Taiji, it can be said that Huang Taiji knows all the inside story of the matter, when the Investigation Department sent information, detailing the assassination of Prince Zheng of the Great Qing Kingdom, Zheng Xunrui immediately noticed that there was a problem, this is not an assassination, it is similar to child's play, but in the face of the matter of the Prince of the Great Qing Kingdom. There can be no child's play, which only means that this is a political game.

Zheng Xunrui thought for a long time, and then vaguely felt the mystery, maybe it has been on the throne for four years, Zheng Xunrui seems to have seen through Huang Taiji's heart, from the peak to the current trough, Huang Taiji's heart is not ordinarily strong, people are like this. The more difficult the situation, the more I want to maintain my authority. Huang Taiji is no exception.

Zheng Xunrui's final judgment was that Huang Taiji directly planned this matter, thinking that through the investigation after the fact, he would rectify the Manchurian noble group and further consolidate his position.

It's a pity that things didn't go in the direction that Huang Taiji expected, maybe Jierharang, who got along with Huang Taiji day and night, saw the mystery. The powerful Dolgon also saw the mystery, and even Dai Shan, who rarely got involved in political affairs, saw the mystery.

Huang Taiji found that the situation was not right, and stopped it in time, so as not to cause a huge shock in the Qing Kingdom, and he didn't care what the results of Dorgon's investigation were. In this respect, Dorgon was also extremely clever and seized the moment to avoid being reckoned.

Things have come to this point, how can the Great Qing Kingdom be stable, the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing Kingdom have lost the support of the Han people, lost the support of most of the Mongolian tribes, and now there is a huge rift inside, and its Manchu Eight Banners have suffered heavy blows several times, it should be said that the time is ripe for the imperial court to conquer.

Zheng Xunrui repeatedly delayed the time of attacking the Great Qing Kingdom, there are its deep-seated considerations, the tenacity of the Manchu people can not be denied, when they fought out from the white mountains and black waters, to create a strong and prosperous Great Qing State, its ability can be seen, if the imperial court can not be fully prepared, let those Manchu nobles return to the Black Mountain and white water to continue to make trouble, the imperial court will spend more energy.

Today's Manchu nobles have lost the support of the Han people, there are huge cracks inside, and they are already in the middle of the storm, and their lack of materials has led to internal and external difficulties, and the wise Huang Taiji, because of the growth of age, because of the decline of experience and physical strength, the mind has become elusive, and it is impossible to fully believe in the Manchu nobles around him.

The so-called assassination of Zilharang and the results of Dolgon's so-called investigation are the best illustrations.

It is quite appropriate to use the word poor and noisy to describe today's Qing Dynasty.

Xu Wanghua, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zheng Jinhong, the cabinet minister, entered the Qianqing Palace.

Zheng Xunrui looked at the two of them and slowly spoke.

"I have decided to conquer the Great Qing Kingdom."

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong's faces instantly appeared brilliance, now the Ming Dynasty has shown a rich and powerful scene, the rapid development of overseas commerce, so that the imperial court's taxes have increased exponentially, foreign countries such as Japan and Korea, are completely subordinated to the imperial court, overseas Europe and other countries, also follow the rules of overseas trade formulated by the imperial court, and the Ming Royal Bank has been opened overseas.

Under such circumstances, the Qing Dynasty was located in the north, and the civil and military ministers in the court, including many scholars and scholars, were uncomfortable in their hearts.

The emperor finally made the decision to exterminate the Qing Dynasty, perhaps this was the last large-scale expedition of the imperial court.

"This time, the imperial court wants to pull out the Great Qing Kingdom from the roots, and completely exterminate the Manchu noble group of the Great Qing Dynasty, what I ask for is to completely exterminate it, when Nurhachi rose from between the white mountains and black waters, Huang Taiji inherited his legacy and created the Great Qing Dynasty, it is this Great Qing Dynasty that almost destroyed my Ming Dynasty."

"So we can't underestimate the Great Qing Kingdom, today's Great Qing Kingdom, internal and external difficulties, the Manchu nobles are caught in contradictions, in this case, it is the best opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, the Manchu nobles will gather together again, and the difficulty of exterminating them will increase significantly."

"The battle of Liaodong, as well as the battle of Fengzhen, has revealed the strength of the Eight Banners Army, Zheng Jinhong has a deep experience, and now the imperial court wants to destroy the Qing Dynasty, to a certain extent, it will stimulate its strong fighting spirit, so this battle is not simple."

"I decided to go on a personal expedition again, this battle is extraordinary, I am afraid that it is the last large-scale battle of the imperial court, after the destruction of the Great Qing Kingdom, the grassland tribes will be easy to deal with, unless it is those tribes who are unwilling to submit, the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress."

"The extermination of the Great Qing Dynasty, then the energy of the imperial court will be transferred to the construction of people's livelihood, I can say that once the Great Qing Kingdom is completely destroyed, a rich Ming Dynasty will stand."

In the battle to exterminate the Qing Dynasty, the emperor decided to drive the expedition in person, Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong will not have an opinion, after all, this battle is too important, and the prince is already sixteen years old, and he is about to end his travel outside and return to the capital.

It is the unshirkable responsibility of the Daming court to completely exterminate the Great Qing State, and all the places occupied by the Great Qing State were once the territories of the Daming Dynasty, and recovering these territories is also the unshirkable responsibility of the Chinese military minister.

After the emperor finished speaking, Xu Wanghua spoke.

"The emperor's decision to send troops to exterminate the Qing Dynasty must be supported by the court, and the lords in the court have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Xu Wanghua's suggestion was decent, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, the emperor had already put forward the final request for the extermination of the Qing Dynasty, and the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War worked out specific operational arrangements in accordance with the emperor's requirements.

Zheng Jinhong also spoke.

"Chen agrees with Lord Xu's suggestion, and the minister hopes to follow the emperor's side, kill in Shenyang, and completely exterminate the Qing Dynasty."

The Governor's Office and the Ministry of War acted very quickly, and immediately began to discuss the matter of exterminating the Qing Dynasty, the time has arrived in October of the fourth year of Ruiyuan, and there are many difficulties in sending troops in winter, but the time is not waiting for anyone, and the time can not be delayed, and the emperor has given the will of His Royal Highness the Prince, who has traveled in Beizhili, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital quickly, which shows that the emperor has made some preparations, and is about to lead the imperial army to the expedition.

It took only one day for the cabinet to deliberate, and the time to send troops, the number of troops, and so on.

The matter of the imperial court's upcoming expedition to the Great Qing Dynasty inevitably spread in the court, which made the Manchu Dynasty very excited, of course, this is also the emperor's permission, the news can be spread, but it is limited to the spread of officials in the court.

The officers above the rank of guerrilla general of the army also knew about this, and they asked for war one after another, hoping to go on the expedition, and everyone knew that this was probably the last large-scale expedition of the imperial army, and there would be no such opportunity in the future, and as soldiers, no one wanted to miss such an opportunity.

When the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War decided which people to follow the expedition, there was still some danger, almost all the officers above the guerrilla general level asked to follow the expedition, but this was impossible, in the end, those officers who followed the expedition for a long time and fought with the Eight Banners Army many times will still be selected, and most of the soldiers of the imperial army who went out to the expedition were veterans, and only a small number of the sergeants recruited later could follow the expedition.

It can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty is ready, whether it is in terms of manpower and material resources, or the fighting spirit of the soldiers, everyone is a goal, to follow the emperor to completely exterminate the Qing Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
