Seeing Dorgon suddenly turn from anger to laughter, Zukfa kneeling in front of Dorgon and Emperor Shunzhi sitting behind him were both confused.
Zuke Faxin said: Is this Dorgon confused because of anger or something else? If he was so angry, would he spare his life?
Emperor Shunzhi thought: It turns out there are people worse than Uncle Dorgon in the world! That man also wants that bad girl from Dongguo to be his mistress...Huh, that's pretty good! When I take charge, I will send Dongguo away and let the evil men of the Southern Dynasties bully her every day!
"Zukefa," Dorgon looked at Zukefa who was kneeling on the ground in a puddle of mud, waved his hand and said, "Get up, get up... Look at you like this, you guys in the Southern Dynasty will not have Zhengzheng." A man of iron bones?"
"Yes!" Zukefa looked helpless, "But the prince insisted on letting me come. Look... I don't want to come either!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." Dorgon shook his head repeatedly, "You are just a messenger and a minister. Killing you would be dirty!"
Great, great! Zukofa was so happy that his life was saved again!
He didn't care about the envoy's demeanor, and bowed to Dorgon repeatedly: "Thank you for not killing me, thank you for not killing me, I will resign, I will resign..."
"Wait a minute!" Dorgon waved his hand, "Why do you want to retreat? How did you become the envoy to discuss marriage? I haven't replied yet!"
reply?
Zukefa smiled and asked: "What does the prince mean..."
Dorgon smiled and asked: "Who does the Crown Prince of the Zhu family intend to make the Crown Princess?"
Zukefa shook his head: "I don't know."
Dorgon asked: "Isn't it your cousin Wu Sanmei?"
"It's hard to say," Zukofa said. "The daughter of Duke Zheng Zhilong of Quan State has also entered the palace... Duke Quan State has 30,000 naval troops and hundreds of gunboats. He controls the Nanyang sea. Every year, he only conducts trade and After collecting taxes, you can earn tens of millions of taels of silver. You are rich all over the world!"
"Ten million taels..." Dorgon took a breath, "Is the business at sea so profitable?"
Zu Kefa said: "It's not easy either... There are red-haired ghosts, yellow-haired ghosts, and black-skinned ghosts on the sea. They are good at controlling gunboats and ships. They often fight with the Zheng family's fleet. I heard that the most powerful ghosts are Hundreds of red Yi cannons can be installed on the Yi warships. Therefore, the Zheng family’s annual income of tens of millions of taels is achieved with one shot at a time!"
"Oh." Dorgon nodded and said with a smile, "I understand... Your prince did not dare to marry my princess because of the Zheng family's money, right?
Let's do this, I, the king, take a step back... It's okay for that girl in Dongguo not to become a big girl, but your prince cannot have a concubine, and he will not have a queen in the future! My princess is about the same age as the daughters of the Zheng family and the Wu family. "
real or fake? Dorgon is so easy to talk to?
This time it was not Zukefa who was stunned. In the Wuying Hall, everyone except the ignorant little emperor Shunzhi was stunned by Dorgon's words.
Dorgon didn't say anything to Zukfa. He waved his hand and asked him to leave. Then he asked the ordinary Han ministers in the hall to retreat, leaving only the bannermen to speak.
"Prince Regent, the boy named Zhu is playing tricks on us!" Prince Zheng Jierhalang was the first to express his opinion, "This boy wants to anger us!"
Dorgon glanced at him and said in his heart: That kid wants to anger me! Nothing happens to you... just watch the joke!
"My lord, we cannot spare him!" He Luohui was Dorgon's confidant. At this time, he asked Dorgon for a battle, "I am willing to lead troops to conquer Shandong!"
Dorgon glanced at him and smiled: "Zhu Cixiang is hoping that we will send troops to Shandong, right?"
"Prince Regent, why did you say this?" Jierhalang was a little confused, "What benefit will it bring to Zhu Cixi if we send troops to Shandong?"
"It can reduce the pressure on Li Zicheng!" Dorgon said slowly, "The prince of the Zhu family must also be familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and he also knows the trick of driving tigers and devouring wolves. He saw through our plot to drive Li south... ..So he wants to help Li Zicheng!"
He was really right! Zhu Cixiang is indeed a military strategist and politician who is familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... We are all of similar level, so we can be considered as equals.
"Your Majesty, let's just forget it then?" He Luohui asked.
Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng with a smile, and Grand Scholar Fan frowned. He is missing Hong Chengchou! He now knows that Hong Chengchou was killed by Zhu Cihong through counterintuitive tactics... This is what Liu Liangzuo told him. However, he never thought about redressing Hong Chengchou's grievances. Now he just thought that if Hong Chengchou was alive, he would definitely know how to deal with Zhu Cixang's Southern Dynasty.
Although he, Fan Wencheng, was full of strategies, he didn't know much about the affairs of the Southern Dynasty... He didn't even know the civil servants and generals of the Southern Dynasty, let alone the Prince Fujun.
"Your Majesty," Fan Wencheng also noticed Dorgon's gaze and felt that he was kneeling out of duty, "I feel that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty will have some back-up tactics, and I'm worried that he will harass Liaodong from the Northern Sea.
In addition, in recent days, several waves of envoys from North Korea have come to ask for help, saying that Jeju Island was occupied by Japanese pirates. I think this matter may also be related to the prince of the Southern Dynasty..."
He really guessed it!
But Dorgon didn't care at all - it was just a broken island! It's still from Korea, the Qing Dynasty doesn't care!
If the Japanese pirates really want to attack North Korea, let’s wait until they reach Seoul!
However, the Ming army's invasion of Liaodong is indeed a trouble! Liaodong is the place where the Qing Dynasty flourished. If the Ming Dynasty landed there, it would have a huge impact on the hearts of the Eight Banners.
Zhu Cixiang teased Dorgon with Dongguo Gege's affairs, but Dorgon could bear it and even promised Donggo to Zhu Cixiang as a child if Zhu Cixiang agreed not to establish a royal wife - Dongguo Princess was not a princess after all, and she was a prince. It would not be too disgraceful for a woman to be a concubine for the Ming Emperor, who was on the same level as the Qing Dynasty.
But once Zhu Cixi sent troops to Liaodong, Dorgon couldn't bear it anymore...
Dorgon was silent for a moment, "How far have Guan Ningjun's family members left in western Liaoning?"
"Just 20% gone." Fan Wencheng replied.
"Please work hard and go to Liaoxi to urge them to hurry up." Dorgon said, "We have to finish the trip before the end of this summer!"
"Okay, I will leave tomorrow."
Dorgon nodded. On the surface, Guan Ningjun's family seems to be a bargaining chip to control Wu Sangui, but it is also Dorgon's heartache. Because the foundation of the Guanning Army is actually the soldiers of the Liaodong Frontier Army, and going back further, they are the military households of Liaodong. These people have been soldiers for generations, and there is not only one person in the family who can go into battle and kill people.
Some men who are older or under adulthood can still fight and kill!
For example, Huang Degong went into battle to kill people and earn rewards at the age of 12!
Now basically all the Manchus outside the Pass have entered the Pass, so these 40,000 Guan Ning family members have become a relatively large military household group. Once they are pulled over by Zhu Cihong, Dorgon will have no time to cry.
In addition, there are many castles left by the Ming army in the Western Liaoning Corridor. In case there is a part of Ding Yu from the Guan Ning Army and the new army from Kenan by sea, they will defend those forts and cut off the Liaoxi Corridor. For the Qing Dynasty, it was a fatal threat.
Of course, the Ming army could land without Guan Ning and Ding Yu's cooperation. There is no problem with a few hundred thousand, tens of thousands is also possible. It won’t be easy if it’s more! After all, the landing troops also have to bring supplies. With the transportation capacity of the Beiyang Navy, how many people can be brought to Liaodong and Liaoxi? And how much of a threat could thousands of infantrymen pose to the Qing troops and horses left in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning?
But if Guan Ning and Ding Yu are roped in, the number of people will be much greater. The number of people who can go into battle may reach 20,000 to 30,000! Moreover, Guan Ning’s family members still have many horses available. The Ming army that landed will receive their support and will immediately have cavalry!
Therefore, Dorgon always wanted to move Guan Ning's family members away. Even if they were returned to Wu Sangui, it would be better than being dragged away by Zhu Cihong.
And now Wu Sangui has entered Tongguan and has placed his base in Ningxia and Gansu, which is considered to be in the northwest. Dorgon did not expect him to fight the Ming Dynasty. He could compete with Li Zicheng's people for Shaanxi, so don't come to the east. Just add to the chaos.
