Beijing, Forbidden City.
In front of the not spacious Wuying Hall, a rather grand court meeting was being held at this time!
This was the first time Emperor Shunzhi went to court to see such an uncle after he ascended the throne in Beijing for the second time! He is just a six-year-old kid now. He knows nothing except being afraid of Uncle Dorgon, so it is usually not his turn to go to court.
By the way, there are no curtains in the two palaces now, so the two empress dowagers above Aisin Gioro and Fulin (the mother empress dowager and the virgin empress dowager) are not qualified to sit behind Fulin and give orders - Huang Taiji is Among those who have an eldest son, Hauge is older than Dorgon. Of course he would not have thought that Fulin, a little kid, would become the emperor, and he would not give Queen Zhezhe and Zhuang Concubine Bumubutai two seals representing imperial power like Xianfeng did.
Therefore, the six-year-old Fulin was very isolated in the court, and he had no voice. He could only watch the terrible Uncle Dorgon give orders and monopolize power...
"Hahaha!"
Uncle Dorgon was particularly happy today. The ministers had just finished kneeling down and before Fulin could say "flat body", he was the first to stand up and then laughed heartily, which shocked little Fulin.
"Everyone get up, everyone stand up!"
In Dorgon's greeting, all the ministers got up and looked up secretly. Then he saw Dorgon standing next to the little emperor Fulin, twirling his beads with a smile. The face that used to be serious is now full of smiles. Seeing that the ministers had climbed up and taken their seats, he smiled and said: "Today I called the Great Court Meeting to tell you that Prince Yu's good news has arrived! Our Qing soldiers have won a great victory this time. Now Pingxingguan, Fanzhi , Daizhou, Naoxian, Xinkou Village and other places have been captured...Yesterday afternoon, Prince Ying and Prince Heping Xi also won the victory. Chuangni had abandoned the Guguan Great Wall and retreated westward. Now Prince Ying and Prince Heping Xi Most of the king's army has already entered Guguan, and will soon join forces with Prince Yu at the foot of Taiyuan City!...Hmph!"
His tone was brisk, almost making him laugh, but suddenly there was a cold snort, which startled Fulin who was sitting on the throne behind him. He stared at Uncle Dorgon's back with his small eyes, fearing that this uncle To say your fault.
Dorgon spoke again, his tone already serious: "The thief Li Zicheng had already destroyed the Southern Dynasty. If we, the Qing Dynasty, had not sent out troops for justice, the Southern Dynasty would have been gone long ago, and all the Nikans in the world would have become slaves of the bandits. They were going to be tortured and forced to pay by the bandits. Now it was my Qing Heavenly Soldiers who drove the bandits out of Shanxi. We, the Qing Dynasty, could be said to be kind to the Southern Dynasty, but how did the Southern Dynasty treat the Qing Dynasty? ? He refused to pay all the agreed-upon coins and annual tributes, and spread rumors everywhere that our Qing heavenly soldiers were going to Shandong to dig Confucius's grave. We also made things difficult for our angels sent by the Qing Dynasty to preach to Jiangnan. Sun Zhixian has not Didn’t enter Nanjing. How unreasonable! Does the Southern Dynasty still deserve to be called the imperial court? Is it necessary for the Qing Dynasty to deal with such unscrupulous monarchs and ministers? "
After hearing what he said, the officials below already understood. Now it seems that Li Zicheng is about to finish. Even if he still has some breath left, he will have to retreat to Shaanxi to survive.
After Li Zicheng retreated to Shaanxi, the only one left who could compete with the Qing Dynasty for the Central Plains was the Ming Dynasty!
Then Ming Dynasty must be a bad guy, a villain!
"The regent is wise! We, the Qing Dynasty, will never tolerate adultery anymore." The first person to answer was Zu Dashou, who was standing among the banner men. He is not a human being now, and has no real job. He eats old rice at home every day. He also had to pretend to be die-hard loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Pretending and pretending, Old Man Zu's acting skills are getting better and better, and it seems as if he really has a lot of hatred for Zhu Cixiang. After leaving his shift, he kowtowed to Fulin who was sitting on the throne, and then continued: "Prince Regent, according to my opinion, the first priority now is to capture Taiyuan Mansion, followed by Datong Mansion! You have to call the foolish emperor and traitorous minister of the Southern Dynasty You know how powerful I am!"
Dorgon nodded with satisfaction. Zu Dashou's words were so true that he directly transferred his hatred of Zhu Cihong to Zhu Cijiong - after driving Li Zicheng away, solving the Ming Dynasty vassal was the top priority, otherwise the city of Beijing would be destroyed. They are always under threat from the Ming army in Datong.
The second priority is not to seek bad luck for Zhu Cixiang, but to resolve the threat from Guan Ning's army - to resolve it, not to eliminate it!
The whole Guan Ning army must be allowed to enter the customs, and they must be far away from Beijing... Only in this way can Dorgon and the Queen Mother Bumubutai sleep with peace of mind.
Dorgon turned his attention to Wu Sangui's brother Wu Sanfeng. Wu Sanfeng hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt on the ground, "Regent, Your Majesty, I think that although the Southern Dynasty is hateful and must be severely suppressed, we cannot take the rogue bandits lightly. .....However, the imperial court’s energy is limited and it is difficult to deal with the rogue bandits and the Southern Dynasty at the same time. Therefore, I suggested setting up a vassal in Pingyang Prefecture or Henan Prefecture to specifically suppress the rogue bandits.”
Dorgon nodded, "Who can run Henan?"
He has rejected the option of Pingyang Mansion. Pingyang Mansion is still too close to Beijing, and there are also interests in Jiechi Salt Fields, which must be directly controlled by the court.
"The slave's second brother Wu Sangui can run Henan for the Qing Dynasty." Wu Sanfeng did not shy away from relatives when promoting talents.
Dorgon smiled and said: "King Pingxi is both civil and military, and has thirty to forty thousand households under his command. He can indeed control Henan Prefecture."
He specifically said "30,000 to 40,000 households", which meant very clearly that Guan Ningjun was to pack up and leave together.
Wu Sanfeng hurriedly kowtowed to Dorgon: "I thank the regent for his kindness."
Dorgon smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. King Pingxi must conquer Taiyuan first, and then he can go to guard Henan."
Taiyuan can also be regarded as a fortified city. Dorgon was unwilling to let the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers attack such a fortified city, so he left it to Wu Sangui.
According to his plan, Wu Sangui would attack Taiyuan Jiancheng next, and Azige would pursue Li Zicheng's main force - if Li Zicheng had not hid in Taiyuan City and waited to die. However, Azig's mission was not to drive Li Zicheng to death, but just to drive him to Shaanxi.
On the other hand, after the Duoduo tribe occupied Xinzhou and joined forces with Wu Sangui and Azige, they turned back north and fought towards Ningwuguan. After occupying Ningwuguan, they immediately entered Datong Prefecture.
At the same time, more than 20,000 troops including Haoge, Aobai, Wu Weihua, Shen Zhixiang, and Geng Zhongming, who were deployed by Dorgon in Xuanfu, will also launch an offensive against Datongfu. Thus forming the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai!
Dorgon estimated that Jiang Gu in Datong would not dare to resist the heavenly soldiers and would probably surrender without a fight...
As soon as Li Zicheng left and Jiang Yu surrendered, Wu Sangui would move to Henan Prefecture after taking Taiyuan.
Then the Qing Dynasty will be free to deal with the Ming army in Henan Province and Shandong Province! After all of them are dealt with, the Qing Dynasty will occupy the Central Plains.
Since ancient times, those who conquer the Central Plains will conquer the world!
At this time, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty who was a little carried away, never thought that he was happy too early.
Because there are still many, many surprises waiting for Dorgon!
The first accident occurred in Huaiqing Mansion, Henan Province.
Huaiqing Prefecture is located in the northern part of Henan Province, north of the Yellow River, facing Henan Prefecture (Luoyang) across the Yellow River, and to the north is Zezhou in Shanxi Province.
At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Huaiqing Mansion, together with the nearby Henan Mansion, Zezhou, and Weihui Mansion, all fell into the hands of the Dashun Army one after another. After the Battle of Yishi, the power of the Dashun Army shrank sharply. The three prefectures of Henan Province located north of the Yellow River, including Huaiqing, Weihui, and Zhangde, were all abandoned. However, Henan Prefecture and Zezhou remained in Dashun. In the hands of Shunjun.
Therefore, Huaiqing became a prominent place where the Qing army inserted into the Dashun army. Dorgon didn't pay much attention to this piece of land, so he sent Meile Zhangjing Jinyuhe of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army to lead his troops to Huaiqing Mansion and act as the commander-in-chief of Huaiqing. This Jin Yuhe's officer is not small, but he doesn't have many soldiers under his command.
Just when the situation in the Qing Dynasty was very good and Dorgon was a little complacent, Jin Yuhe, who was stationed in Huaiqing City, received a piece of bad news that surprised him.
A group of bandits entrenched on Wangwu Mountain suddenly attacked Jiyuan County under Huaiqing Mansion and occupied Jiyuan County.
The situation was good everywhere now. Of course, Jin Yuhe didn't want a trap to appear on his own territory, so he didn't think much about it and led his troops to recover Jiyuan County. As a result, he plunged into the trap set up by Tian Jianxiu and Li Guo. The ambush circle was completely wiped out.
Subsequently, Huaiqing Fucheng was also attacked by the Dashun Army disguised as bandits!
Li Zicheng's counterattack begins!
