Shengjing, Qing Dynasty Palace.

Carriages slowly drove into the palace. The old eunuch who was sweeping the floor looked up and then continued to lower his head to clean the fallen leaves that could never be wiped out.

The new eunuch was a little curious. He leaned on a broom and wanted to recognize from the crowd who got off the bus which were famous figures of "our Qing Dynasty", but he was soon scolded by the old eunuch.

"Isn't it just a meeting of the kings and ministers? Don't be like a local bun that has never seen the world. We are the palace of the Qing Dynasty!"

Whether it is an old eunuch or a young eunuch, they are generally in a relaxed mood at this time.

In their opinion, the Qing Dynasty is still thriving now. As for the small defeats at Shanhaiguan and Monan not long ago, they will soon be replaced by new victories.

The Ming Kingdom in the south? Although it was the sect leader of the Qing Dynasty decades ago, now...

The Qing Dynasty always wants to rule the world, right?

Dorgon, who was sitting in the main hall, didn't know that even the eunuch who swept the floor was more optimistic than him.

Dorgon said coldly with a gloomy face: "The current situation is that Zhang Xianzhong is finished, and Li Zicheng is about to finish his life. If these two are finished, then the Ming Kingdom can concentrate all its efforts to deal with the Qing Dynasty. Next, it's time for our Qing Dynasty to finish his life!"

There is no doubt that Dorgon's words were still very impactful. After listening to his words, all the Qing ministers present changed their expressions.

But soon, Jirgalang was the first to question it.

"Prince Rui, your words are too alarmist. When my father was alive, there was no rebellion by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Did our Qing Dynasty develop from scratch and develop to its current scale? Even if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were all clean, our Qing Dynasty would still stand in Liaodong, and there would be absolutely no mistakes."

After listening to Jirgalang's words, many Qing ministers nodded repeatedly, obviously quite recognized them.

For these Qing ministers, even though they suffered two defeats in the past year, they still insisted that the Qing Dynasty was still stronger in the military.

In their opinion, the past two defeats were just because Jirgalang and Dorgon underestimated the enemy too much. If they really wanted to fight seriously, it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to lose such a war.

Since we all felt that the Qing Dynasty had an advantage in the military, the reason we came up with this is that it is enough to challenge the Ming Dynasty on a list, we naturally would not think that Li Zicheng had any need to be saved.

A minister of the political affairs minister said on the spot: "Li Zicheng has saved him many times over the years. He originally thought he was a useful pawn, but when things happened, he could not capture Beijing. Now he was suppressed by Mingguo and became a turtle with a headscarf. He asked me to tell me, such a guy has no value for saving at all."

It was not someone else who said this, but Haoge, who has always been incompatible with Dorgon.

Although everyone knows that Haoge's words must be firmly opposed to Dorgon, many people still think that what Haoge and Jirgalang said is really reasonable.

"That's right, what do we care about their internal strife?"

"The most urgent task now should be to rectify the army well, and then find a way to get a batch of new military supplies to make up for all the losses lost by our Qing Dynasty in the previous wars."

"As long as the Qing army can be restored to its previous state, will we still need to worry about not being able to defeat the Ming Dynasty?"

Dorgon's brows kept jumping when he heard these words, and finally couldn't help but pat on the table.

"It's just a group of short-sighted people!"

After all, he was the regent. Faced with his anger, everyone suddenly became quiet and waited for what Dorgon wanted to say next.

Dorgon suppressed his anger and spoke up for an explanation.

"Why did the emperor's brother cooperate with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the past ten years? Have you ever thought about this question? Let me tell you, this is because the emperor's brother is very clear that although our Qing Dynasty occupied Liaodong, it is far from comparable to the Ming Dynasty, which has the entire Central Plains in the south.

If we did nothing, even if we fought against the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would at best be the next Oirat Mongolia or Tatar Mongolia.

Look at the Mongols have been constantly warring with the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, but these wars cannot shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty at all, because the Ming Dynasty was too big and wealthy.

To destroy the Ming Dynasty, we must make internal problems in this country, because only internal strife is the quickest way to defeat a country.

If we help Li Zicheng well and let his cancer continue to ferment within the Ming Dynasty, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will bleed too much and die completely due to this cancer.

If we do nothing and just watch Li Zicheng go toward destruction, then after the Ming Dynasty solved the internal problems, it would devote its real energy to our Liaodong.

By that time, we will have to deal with the pressure of tens of millions of people and hundreds of times the territory of the Ming Dynasty with a small area like Liaodong. Do you really think we will definitely be the final winner?

The best situation is nothing more than confronting the Northern Song Dynasty, just like the Liao Kingdom back then, and the worst situation is as I said before, the Qing Dynasty is likely to be completely destroyed!

So I have to say, Li Zicheng must be saved, because Li Zicheng is not only for himself, but also for our Qing Dynasty and for everyone present. Do you understand?"

After Dorgon said this, the entire hall fell into a brief silence.

A moment later, Prince Li Daishan suddenly spoke slowly.

"What Prince Rui said is still very reasonable. Since that's the case, I decided to support the dispatch of troops."

Not only Dai Shan, but also Sony, Oboi and others from the Double Yellow Banner also spoke out and agreed with Dorgon's plan.

In this way, the power to support Dorgon has surpassed the four banners among the Eight Banners and has become the real majority.

Jirgalang and Hauge, although they tried their best to oppose it, as the saying goes, the minority obeys the majority. When everyone has agreed, the opinions of these minorities are denied.

So soon the whole meeting made a decision, and Dorgon would take action again and lead the 50,000 elite troops from the Qing Dynasty to attack Shanhaiguan.

In any case, the Qing Dynasty must ensure that Li Zicheng can survive as much as possible!
