The city of Jinzhou was full of wind and snow, and there was a man at the top of the city looking into the distance with his hands behind his back. If Chang Yu were here, he would definitely be shocked. How could he have grown up like this in just over a year? He has become such an old man.
Yes, this old man is Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty who was just in his early thirties.
As for why he has become so haggard and old in just one year, I can only say that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
Don't look at the wind and snow in the sky and the biting cold, but at this time, Dorgon is like being roasted on a raging fire. He is annoyed, irritated and angry. He has been in dire straits for more than a year. It’s so miserable!
This kind of suffering includes its own suffering and the suffering of the Qing Dynasty.
Let’s talk about his own pain first. As the regent of the Qing Dynasty, although he had absolute rights, he was not the only right. Nurhaci had sixteen sons in one breath. I am a hero and a good man. These sixteen are all outstanding people. None of them were good people. When Huang Taiji was alive, he could still suppress these brothers. Once he died, good guys, no one would obey the other. Small groups with various rights began to fight openly and secretly. In the end, he and Hauge each took a step back and let Fulin became the emperor, and Dorgon and Jierhalang jointly assisted Zuo Fulin as auxiliary kings and were called regents.
The seemingly calm lake is actually undercurrents, and various small power groups form cliques and refuse to obey anyone. Among them, the Hauge Group is at odds with him. Although Dorgon intends to kill Hauge, he I couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while.
Although the internal fighting continued, they were quite unanimous externally. When they heard that Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition had reached directly outside Beijing, Dorgon and others could not sit still. At Fan Wencheng's suggestion, they immediately formed a large army to take advantage of the opportunity. Entering the country to steal the country.
The mighty army of 100,000 marched non-stop towards the pass. It happened to be that Li Zicheng's eastern expedition was in full swing. When he saw that the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, Chang Yu took risks, struck first, and used tricks to deceive the Ming Dynasty. Dorgon changed his route and went to Ningyuan.
Then... Dorgon's nightmare came.
After losing troops and generals in Ningyuan, they risked their lives and entered the pass to plunder. They were chased thousands of miles by Chang Yu and led his troops. They had a friction at the foot of Qingzhou City and chased them back to the capital. Then, when they were sent out by the Great Wall, they were tricked again. Only two or three of the ten thousand soldiers were left, and even the most elite cavalry was destroyed by more than half, and almost all the horses were lost. What was even worse was that one of his biological brothers, Prince Azig of England, was captured!
It can be said to be a disastrous failure! The Qing Dynasty suffered an unprecedented defeat in ten years!
And the price of this fiasco was extremely high. Almost all the Manchu family wealth was lost in one fell swoop!
He also knew in his heart that it would be unlucky to go back. There were already many political enemies, but now that the banner leaders had suffered heavy losses, they couldn't unite to deal with him! What's more, at this time, his most loyal and powerful sibling and ally, Azig, was captured. He lost his shoulder and his leg. His sword was not sharp and his horse was too thin. What could he use to fight with Hao!
As expected of Dorgon, his many years of rich experience in power struggles have allowed him to know how to deal with this rather unfavorable situation, that is, to be tough on one side and soft on the other! He had to be tough on the inside. After escaping from the customs, he hid in Jinzhou City and didn't go anywhere. Yes, he didn't even return to Shengjing. 'But he neglected one thing. Hauge secretly sneaked back to Shengjing.
He knew that Hauge was going to make trouble for himself in Shengjing.
Hauge naturally would not give up such a good opportunity and vowed to bring him down, but in the end he underestimated Dorgon's methods.
No matter how much you scream, I will stay in Jinzhou and not go back. Not only will I not go back, all banner leaders, generals and soldiers are not allowed to go back. Anyone who violates will be killed without mercy. After all, he is the regent, he has the right and the ability! '
If he doesn't come back, others won't be able to hold him accountable, and there's no way to force him to come back, because now the few elite soldiers and generals left in the Qing Dynasty are in his hands, and the Hongmen Banquet is set up in Shengjing, but what can you do if he doesn't come? , Hauge and other political opponents have made all kinds of preparations to defeat him, but they don’t have the soldiers at hand, so what can you do if they can’t do anything to him!
In any case, no matter how many impeachments and scoldings were made, Dorgon was determined not to return to Beijing. He held the elite troops in his hands and called them to prevent the Ming army from going north. He wanted to personally guard the country's gates, and other matters would be discussed later.
This rhetoric is high-sounding and related to national security. Although the political opponents in Beijing want to kill him immediately, they are unwilling to say it, and they are really worried that the Ming army will take the opportunity to go north. Once the Jinzhou defense line is broken, Shenyang will be endangered. This At that time, if Shenyang had no soldiers or generals, wouldn't that mean he was cut with his neck stretched out?
Therefore, Jinzhou's defense line cannot be broken, not to mention that this line of defense was won by two generations of people who fought hard and paid a huge price in order to provide Shengjing with an additional barrier!
Must keep it!
Holding elite troops to guard the country and not returning, a group of people in Beijing who wanted to kill him punched the cotton ball. They felt angry and helpless, but did not dare to push too hard. Only then did Dorgon finally let Dorgon Take a breather to avoid being crushed to death immediately.
While he was tough internally, he was soft on the outside. The so-called external side was the Ming court.
He accepted Azige in exchange for Zu Dashou's entire family.
This was an unequal deal, but he couldn't help but agree! After all, no matter how important Zu Dashou was to the Ming Dynasty, he was not as important as Azige. What's more, he never imagined that after the imperial court exchanged Zu Dashou, he could be reinstated and reused!
After holding the military power and exchanging Azig back, Dorgon stayed in Jinzhou and stayed there, allowing him to survive for a while. But after all, it was not a long-term solution. Various pressures were coming from inside, especially Hauge and several major forces. The banner leader is preparing to seize power from his regent. You and the others are not with the emperor. Why don't you take a photo of him?
Dorgon also knew that even if he could save his life if he continued like this, his power would soon be eclipsed, so at this time he used a very common but practical trick.
When internal conflicts cannot be resisted, use external pressure to hedge!
All political regimes in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, are good at this, and they have proven successful every time.
The Ming army's detective horses wandered outside Jinzhou City every day. What did they want to do?
The Ming army rebuilt Tashan Fort. What did they want to do?
The Ming army sent troops to harass them again and again. In one month, conflicts of various sizes ranged from a few to more than ten. What did they want to do?
That's right, they are preparing to take back Jinzhou!
And what are you doing?
You are fighting and at war among yourself!
If this continues, there will be no need for the Ming army to attack, and we will destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty on our own!
Such an awe-inspiring and to-the-point statement silenced the various power groups in Shengjing. The debts of one's own family can be settled later, but the debts owed to others must be disclosed unanimously, otherwise the creditors will invade the family and destroy the ancestral foundation. Is it possible to go back to Naningguta to hunt again?
Now Hauge's plan to jerk off Dorgon's regent failed again, but he didn't give up. Since he wouldn't be able to jerk off for a while, why not launch a coup while he was away and take back his own throne.
This is indeed a good time, but this idea was discovered by Dorgon again, and he said, Hauge, if you dare to rebel, I will fight for Jinzhou to give up, and immediately lead the troops back to King Qin of Beijing, and we will fight until death!
These words did not frighten Hauge, but they saw several other people frightened.
Jierhalang, Daishan and Queen Xiaozhuang, these three people at the center of power in the Qing Dynasty, came forward at the right time!
Although Jierhalang is only Nurhachi's nephew, he is closer than his son, and he has a very good relationship with Huang Taiji and is extremely loyal to Huang Taiji. Although history has evaluated him as a bit weak, he is actually stable! He was the only one who could compete with Dorgon at the time, and he was also on Hauge's side, but he couldn't bear the internal strife, so under his auspices, Dorgon and Hauge finally stepped back and allowed Fulin to take the throne. It wasn't him. Dorgon was firmly on the throne. He was also the auxiliary king of the Qing Dynasty at this time, and was also one of the two uncles of the Qing Dynasty later. The other one was Dorgon!
The steady Jierharang knew Haug's thoughts very well, but at this moment he couldn't support Haug. When you become Emperor Dorgon, there are a million people who disagree and a million people who are against him. He is really forced to do so. If you are in a hurry and lead your troops to serve the king, what can you do to resist him? Instead, he will take the opportunity to dethrone the emperor and ascend the throne!
Another opponent is Daishan. He is actually the second son of Nurhachi, but because his eldest son Chu Ying was killed for a crime in his early years, he became the eldest son. He is the head of the four great Baylors and is known as the Big Baylor. He had been suppressed in the past, but he was older and respected, and Huang Taiji had also passed out at this time, so his attitude was very important. When Dorgon and Hauge originally competed for the throne, Daishan supported Fulin.
At this time, he also jumped out to warn Hauge. You can say anything, but if you want to seize the throne, the consequences will be too serious. I will never support you and will not stand by.
The other one is Empress Xiaozhuang, Fulin’s mother.
Someone comes to seize the throne of her son, so the mother is naturally the most opposed!
Anyone who can be a queen, especially such a famous queen, does not use all kinds of means. Xiaozhuang has a reputation as a virtuous person, and he assisted Zuo Shunzhi and Kangxi throughout his life. Both emperors' abilities and methods are first-rate.
At this time, the three of them join forces. You can get Dorgon, but you can't covet the throne!
Although Hauge was unwilling to give in, there was nothing he could do!
But it was such a pity that Dorgon could not be brought down with such a great opportunity, and Haug knew that if he missed this opportunity to let Dorgon recover, he would be the one who died next time!
So he made a request to Jierhalang and others, I don’t have to be the emperor, but I want to be the regent!
Dorgon must be seized from power!
Is this...Jilharang and the others agreed unanimously. After all, everyone had the same idea. As for why they had this idea, you will know it when you see Fulin seizing his title after taking power, digging up graves and whipping corpses.
Shengjing reached an agreement, and the pressure came to Dorgon.
Dorgon knew in his heart that if he escaped for a while, he would not be able to escape forever. He would always have to give an explanation for last year's disastrous defeat, but as for how and what to explain, there were still big variables.
And these variables have a lot to do with the opposite Ming Ting!
But at this time, it could not change Dorgon's situation at all, with internal and external troubles and dire straits!
