"Brother Fourteen, he's doing a lot of work!" When Duduo heard that his brother was going to send Jin Zhijun as an envoy, he immediately reminded him, "Last time, he and Sun Zhixian brought back a few boxes of lists, but they can trick us. It’s painful!”
"Why are you suffering?" Dorgon smiled, "This world was brought down by our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. Those Nikanshi doctors are of no use... It doesn't matter if they don't want to surrender to us. It just happens to encircle their land and divide it between them." Field! Once these two things are done, we will have 100,000 green flags available, and there are three of our flags among the eight flags! Old Fifteen, think about it again, have you thought clearly?"
Ah... Only then did Duduo fully understand what his brother Dorgon was planning.
The purpose of setting up green flags in enclosed areas is not entirely to reduce financial pressure, but also to attract people for one's own family!
The Qing Dynasty is now the "Eight Banners Royal Harmony", and the young emperor Shunzhi is a puppet. And Dorgon, the regent, was not appointed by Huang Taiji's imperial edict, but was recommended by the Prince of the Eight Banners. However, the Eight Banners Royal Communist Party only recommended Dorgon to be the regent, and had no intention of making Dorgon or Dorbo the emperor.
And Dorgon now wants to make progress... so he must increase his voice in the "reconciliation between the princes and the public".
After cheating Hauge and getting the Zhenglan flag, the three Dorgon brothers had a lot more say, but it was still not enough.
Because the little emperor Shunzhi himself had two yellow flags and one yellow flag - Shunzhi was still young, but Aunt Bumubutai could order the two yellow flags in the name of Shunzhi. The two red flags have always been in the hands of Daishan's family, and the three Dorgon brothers have no way to seize them. Xianglan Banner is Jierhalang's territory. Jierhalang is more cunning than Hauge, and it will not be easy to trick him to death.
So Dorgon could only make additions and set up two green flags in addition to the Eight Banners!
Among them, the green flag is Wu Sangui's force, let's not care about it for the moment. And if the 100,000 people of the Zhenglu Banner can be controlled by Dorgon, then the three Dorgon brothers will have four flags! The number of Niu Lu controlled has reached more than 300, which is more than the number of Niu Lu with two yellow flags, two red flags and blue flags combined.
With such strength, Dorgon can naturally go further...
"Brother Fourteen, why did you ask Jin Zhijun to go to Fengyang Mansion..." Duduo looked at his brother and asked in a low voice.
Dorgon smiled: "Of course I contacted my good son-in-law!"
Is this a good son-in-law? Dodo doesn’t even know what to say...
Dorgon chuckled: "If I want to take another step forward, he will also take a step further! I will hold down the two yellow flags, the two red flags and the blue flag. He will also take down Zuo Liangyu and take down the Huguang territory. I will take down the territory of Huguang." The king wants to enclose the land and equalize it, and he also wants to inspect the land and clear it...Old Fifteen, do you understand?"
Duduo nodded: "I understand!"
He finally understood that neither Dorgon nor Zhu Cixiang were good people! They all want to seize power within the country under the guise of fighting against foreigners, and they also want to seize the acres of land owned by the old landlords... No wonder you want to marry Dongguo to Zhu Cixiang, you two are the same thing!
Dorgon smiled and asked: "Old Shiwu, do you know what Jin Zhijun is doing in Fengyang Mansion now?"
"I know...he went to conspire with Zhu Cixiang."
"Fifteen, why do you talk like that?" Dorgon looked at his outspoken little brother, feeling a little helpless, "I did this all for Dorbo!"
Duduo felt a little embarrassed now, "It's just a pain for Dongguo..."
"Is it painful for Dongguo?" Dorgon chuckled, "This girl is either a queen or a noble concubine. She has endless wealth and glory. What's the pain?" He glanced at Duduo, "Do you still remember Mangguji?"
Mangguji was the half-sister of Dorgon and Duduo, and the third daughter of Nurhaci. Because she was involved in the struggle between Huang Taiji and Manggutai, she was treated as a "chicken" by Huang Taiji and killed by a bunch of "monkeys". "Look, and the killing was ugly—executed by Ling Chi!
Mang Guji is Huang Taiji’s biological sister! It’s all so ugly... And Dong Ge and Dor Bo are not biological siblings, and Dong Ge is Dorgon’s only flesh and blood. Only God knows what will happen in the future!
And there is no sure win in political battles! Although the three brothers Dorgon, Duduo and Azig are very powerful now, who will win in the end is anyone’s guess...
Duduo was stung by his brother's words and looked a little embarrassed. He just murmured: "Huang Taiji is too much, too much..."
Dorgon smiled: "Is it too much? Only when you hate your own people can you hate them to the point of death! In order to frighten a group of brothers with ulterior motives, why is it too much for Huang Taiji to chop up a sister who doesn't know how high the sky is?"
Duduo just sighed, not knowing what to say.
Dorgon had no biological son to take over, so the status of Dongguo, the only daughter, was a bit low. A beautiful girl from heaven would be reluctant to marry to Mongolia, but if she marries a nobleman of the Eight Banners... she will easily get involved in the internal struggles of the Eight Banners, and she might end up like Mangguji!
Instead, it is safest to send it to Zhu Cixiang's harem as a symbol of temporary peace between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Even if there was a war between the north and the south, Zhu Cixiang would not kill Dongguo to sacrifice the flag, but would pamper her even more. Because if neither side can defeat the other, then they have to resort to peace talks, and Dongguo is the one who can spread peace talks between the two sides.
In case the southern army gains the upper hand, Dongguo can be used to win over relatives of the Northern Eight Banners and Mongolian military leaders.
The Northern Army had the upper hand, and Dongguo was a bargaining chip that could be used to beg for mercy.
Therefore, as long as Zhu Cihong is a clear-headed feudalist politician, there is no reason to harm Dongguo Princess.
Moreover, Zhu Cixiang's harem made it clear that women from the Zheng family and Wu family were vying for favor. Dorgon's daughter is an outsider, with a high enough background, but she has no influence in the Southern Dynasty, and it is impossible to give birth to a prince - not to mention the bloodline issue, she is only 7 years old, even if she gives birth to a son, it will be 10 years later. , it is impossible to become Zhu Cixiang's eldest son. Now it is just a name, just used to suppress the women of the Zheng and Wu families and prevent Zhu Cixiang's harem struggle from intensifying...
...
Jin Zhijun entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the name of recovering Hauge's bones!
When the two countries were at war, it was better not to kill the envoy, so he arrived at Fengyang City completely changed beyond recognition.
He had been to Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, more than once. He was familiar with it inside and out, and knew that it was a large and dilapidated city. But when he came to Fengyang again, he couldn't recognize it. If a descendant of Zhu Chunchen who was accompanying him hadn't told him that the two strange castles in front of him were Fengyang, he would have thought that he was on the wrong track.
"You can't be wrong, this is Fengyang! I am from Fengyang Prefecture, how could I lead the wrong way? You see, that is Phoenix Mountain, and what is built on the mountain is Phoenix City. What is being built at the foot of Phoenix Mountain is Wolong City... ...This is the phoenix at the top and the crouching dragon at the bottom! By the way, there is an imperial mausoleum city more than ten miles away in the south, which is also a large fortress with a circumference of twenty miles! Mount the Hongyi cannon and the general cannon, and the real The golden soup is so strong! If your gold-touching prince dares to come here in the future, he will definitely not be able to please you!"
After listening to Zhu Chunchen's nephew's introduction, Jin Zhijun finally understood - the Ming Dynasty seemed to have demolished and rebuilt the large and dilapidated Fengyang City in the central capital, and also turned Fengyang City into a It became three impregnable Fengyang castles.
"Is Fengyang Mansion still Zhongdu?" Jin Zhijun asked again.
"Of course it is!" Zhu Chunchen's nephew said, "If Fengyang was not the capital of Zhongdu, why would Qiansui Master have spent so much money and raised so many people to renovate and build it? The former outer city of Fengyang was large and useless. , this time we simply flattened the outer walls and rebuilt the upper and lower cities, making them impregnable. How great!
If the Tatars dare to come again, Fengyang will be their death place. Even if the Tatars don't come, Qiansui Ye will use Fengyang as his foundation to expedition north to the Central Plains and regain Shenjing! "
"I see..." Jin Zhijunxin said: Zhu Cixiang seems to be willing to settle on the left side of the Yangtze River! If he really wanted to make the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he shouldn't spend too much money here at Fengyang Castle. But this is no wonder. Since ancient times, the north has determined the south, and there have been few expeditions from the south to the north. Even if there is a precedent set by Ming Taizu, in the end, King Yan will not be allowed to come from the north and have peace again? It would be great if the young prince of the Zhu family can find a peaceful situation!
