The only hope of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty is that the army of the Ming Dynasty can exterminate the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the Han people in the Qing Dynasty can raise their eyebrows, so some of the Han people who joined the intelligence network spared no effort to collect all kinds of information from the Qing Dynasty and sent it to the capital of the Ming Dynasty through special channels.

At this time, the vast majority of the Manchu nobles had to choose to take sides, whether to support the side represented by Zilharang, or the side represented by Dolgon, or choose neutrality, just like Dai Shan, not many people really cared about other things, and as for the matter of intelligence leakage, no one cared.

It's not surprising that Zilharang and Dolgon, the top of the Manchurian magnates, are busy playing power games and have no time to care about other things, not to mention the many Manchu nobles below.

The intelligence from the Great Qing Kingdom clearly shows that the power game between Zilharang and Dolgon has reached its peak, the two don't want to let each other, and both want to control the young emperor directly or by opinion, Dai Shan chose to avoid it, and sometimes he may be deeply involved in it, unable to really get out of it, as for Hauge, because of his poor IQ, he has almost been completely abandoned and has been in a state of marginalization.

Xu Wanghua, Zhou Yanru, Xiong Wencan, Zheng Jinhong and others were very happy, they were convinced of the emperor's judgment, and believed that the Great Qing Kingdom would inevitably weaken rapidly in the midst of internal friction, and that when the time came, the imperial army would launch a lightning attack, fearing that they would be able to occupy Shenyang in a very short period of time and completely destroy the Great Qing Kingdom.

Of course, the offensive was launched simultaneously from both Liaodong and Liaonan directions.

The game of power in the Great Qing State. It also involves the grassland tribes, after all, the grassland tribes that submit to the Great Qing Kingdom are also very important forces, such as the Horqin tribe, the mother of the Great Qing Emperor Fulin, Concubine Zhuang, is from the Horqin tribe.

So the fight for the steppe tribes. The struggle for the benevolence of Prince Li is also something that Dolgon and Zilharang have to pay attention to, and they cannot fight alone.

The turning point of the power game in the Great Qing Dynasty came from a restlessness in the Eight Banners with white flags.

Haoge also served as the owner of the white flag, which was the original arrangement of Huang Taiji, the purpose was to weaken Dorgon's power, but Haoge, who lacked a string in his head, did not seize this opportunity at all, as the owner of the blue flag. Hauge should focus more on the side of the white flag, at least need to be familiar with the many officers with the white flag, and envelop most of the officers around him.

It's a pity that Hauge's approach is a big surprise.

Hauge actually suppressed the officers at all levels with the white flag, probably thinking that these officers were all Duoduo's henchmen, or worshipping Dorgon, you must know that the Manchurian Eight Banners have always had the habit of only recognizing the flag owner and not the emperor, and the vast majority of the officers with the white flag must have supported and finally supported the banner owner Duoduo. But Dodor is dead, and the officer with the white flag must find something to rely on. At this time, Hauge concurrently served as the flag owner, as long as he threw an olive branch and grabbed the main officer with the white flag, he would definitely be able to stabilize and gradually control the white flag, but unfortunately, after Hauge concurrently served as the owner of the white flag, what he thought of was to weaken the power of the white flag. Get rid of Dodor's henchmen in the shortest possible time.

This led to the rebound of the inlaid white flag, when Huang Taiji was still in power, no one dared to jump out, but Huang Taiji drove the crane west, it is difficult to say.

Just when the battle between Zilharan and Dorgon reached its climax. Almost all of the officers with the white flag jumped out, and they accused the flag owner, Hauge, who believed that Hauge did not care about the officers and sergeants with the white flag, and the purpose was to destroy the white flag.

Almost all the officers of this banner sued the flag owner, this is the first time that the Qing Dynasty has opened the world, and since Nurhachi created the Manchurian Eight Banners, there has never been such a thing, after all, the banner owner of the Manchurian Eight Banners represents power.

Dolgon seized this opportunity and ordered the court to conduct an investigation, and the documents formed after the investigation listed Hauge's extensive suppression and arbitrary disposal of officers and sergeants with white flags, and even Zilharang frowned when he saw these documents and did not know what to say.

After the deliberations presided over by Daishan, a decision was made to remove Haorg from his position as the owner of the white flag.

However, the question of who will be the owner of the white flag is not selected for the time being because of Zilharang's opposition.

From this point of view, it seems that just the fact that Haoge was removed from the white flag will not cause much movement, but in fact, otherwise, the balance of the Great Qing Kingdom has already undergone a major tilt.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Xunrui took the document in his hand and spoke in a rather stern tone.

"The cabinet has analyzed a lot of information about the Great Qing Kingdom, I originally said that the march would be postponed for a month, but now nearly two months have passed, and the reason why the time for the march has been repeatedly postponed is mainly because the time is not very ripe, but the cabinet has not been able to analyze the inside story of such a major information, and I am a little disappointed."

There is a reason why Zheng Xunrui's tone is stern.

The cabinet's analysis of the situation in the Great Qing Kingdom was biased, and the Cabinet actually formed a point of view, that is, the Great Qing Kingdom would inevitably decline sharply in the midst of internal friction, and even appear to be divided, and then the imperial court would be able to easily destroy the Great Qing Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this understanding that the cabinet made two decisions to delay the time of entering the Great Qing Kingdom.

Zheng Xunrui agreed to the cabinet's recommendations twice in order to make the cabinet really make accurate analysis, but now he couldn't help it, because he had seen the danger appearing, that is, the Rui prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, Dorgon, actually controlled the white flag.

Dolgon and Zilharang are both heroes of the Great Qing Kingdom, one focuses on martial arts, the other focuses on literature, and the two fight very fiercely for power, but Zheng Xunrui knows very well that this power game will end soon.

In terms of strength, Dolgon obviously has an advantage, Zilharang did not lead his troops to fight for a lot before, and his prestige in the Manchurian Eight Banners is far less than that of Dolgon, which also leads to the fact that Zilharang will definitely lose to Dolgon if he does not have support.

But Zilharang is a very sober-minded person, once the curtain of the power game falls, he will never let the entire Qing Kingdom fall apart for his own interests, and Dolgon also has this understanding, and will never let the Great Qing Kingdom fall apart.

In this way, Zheng Xunrui can conclude that whether it is Dolgon or Zilharang, any one of them is in control, and there will be no great reckoning in a short period of time, and the nominal first auxiliary minister Daishan will also stand up at a critical time to prevent further intensification of internal strife.

The game between Dolgon and Zilharang has hurt the vitality of the Qing Dynasty, especially the matter of the officer with the white flag of the Manchurian Eight Banners complaining about the flag owner Haoge, the Qing court should severely punish the leader of this matter, the stability of the army is the foundation of the country, in extraordinary times, no matter how many reasons the officers have, they will be punished for making trouble, and they can't imagine that the accusations and commotions of the officers with the white flags have actually been supported by the imperial court.

More crucially, the shaking of the white flag, in any way, is the result of a power game.

The Ming court had a profound lesson in this regard.

In this case, the Ming court should send troops, if it continues to wait, when Dorgon's power is stabilized and the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army increases, the imperial army will have to pay more and greater casualties.

Zheng Xunrui bluntly analyzed the many situations that may arise in the Great Qing Kingdom, and finally came to one point, that is, Dolgon, the Prince of Rui of the Great Qing Kingdom, is about to fully grasp the power, and with Dolgon's ability, he will definitely try his best to enhance the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom, and make sufficient preparations to meet the attack of the Ming Imperial Army.

There can be no more delay, the imperial army must attack quickly and launch a full-scale attack from the two directions of eastern and southern Liaoning, and cannot give the Qing Kingdom more time.

Zheng Xunrui's stern reprimand made Xu Wanghua and Zhou Yanru bow their heads.

The biggest mistake of the two is that they believe that Dolgon and Zilharang are very likely to start a fight, so that the Qing Kingdom will collapse, they are still the lessons of the Ming Dynasty to analyze, but the emperor's views and ideas are completely different, thinking that the Manchus of the Great Qing Kingdom can unite in the shortest possible time to resist the attack of the outside world, so in the case that the power of the Great Qing Kingdom has not been completed, it is the best time to attack.

After the emperor's reprimand, Xu Wanghua immediately assumed the responsibility, and at the same time suggested that the cabinet immediately discuss the matter of sending troops.

At the end of the fourth year of Ruiyuan, the Ming cabinet made a decision to send troops in the first month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan.

The emperor's will is more direct, and the imperial army will officially send troops on the fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan to begin the conquest of the Qing Dynasty.

The time and news of this dispatch were strictly confidential, and except for the cabinet ministers and the governors of the Governor's Office, the rest of the civil and military ministers did not know.

The last time the expedition was prepared, including the postponement of the expedition, the emperor decided to directly disclose the news, and the effect was very good, this real expedition, there is no need to inform the world.

From the end of December to the fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Ruiyuan, nearly 20 days, the imperial army began to secretly dispatch, in batches from all over the North Zhili, to Guangning and Xipingbao and other places, and when the real expedition, the number of sergeants from the capital will not be very large.
