"Return to Liaodong?"

"Yes, my mom."

The powerful people of the Eight Banners failed to persuade him, so they had to find Xiaozhuang. At this moment, the powerful people had already withdrawn from the hall, and only the mother and son were left in the hall. Even Xiaozhuang's confidant Su Moer was locked outside.

"I have already thought about it. Go back to Liaodong and defend Shanhaiguan. Zhejiang bandits will not be able to fight into Liaodong. At that time, they will rest and recuperate. Every year, they will enter from Zhili and Shanxi. If we grab a few times, we will still have a chance to turn the tables. Just like when Emperor Taizong..."

The more Shunzhi spoke, the more excited he became, but Xiaozhuang stood there in a daze, unable to even say a word for a long time. After a while, he could not get a response, and Shunzhi's voice became lower and lower, and his eyes at Xiaozhuang began to shrink even more.

"My mother?"

Hearing the call, Xiaozhuang shook his head with a wry smile. His son was the flesh that fell from his mother. Although the relationship between mother and son was not very harmonious, his son was better than his mother. Her son was now scared by Chen Wen. As for what he guarded Shanhaiguan, what was the breaking point of Emperor Taizong, what was going on when he retreated outside the pass to continue to fight against the Han people in the pass, what was the excuse!

But Shunzhi was her only son, and her status as the Empress Dowager also originated from his son. Otherwise, how could she sit on this throne with her concubine?

"If you withdraw from the gates, what do you want to attract Mongolian troops? When they see that we are no longer able, they will definitely rush to lose to the Ming court, and the Ming court will definitely use our heads as the basis for rewards, just like back then!"

"That's better than dying in the pass. There is still a chance to retreat to Liaodong. In the pass, Chen Wen's killing god can't even beat the emperor's uncle. There are no good generals in the court, the emperor's mother."

Xiaozhuang was persuading hard, but Shunzhi couldn't listen at all. The mother and son went back and forth for a long time, but the powerful people were still waiting outside the hall, exchanging their eyes and expressions from time to time. Until a long time later, Xiaozhuang walked out of the hall, but after seeing the expression clearly, the powerful people were all like a basin of cold water poured on their heads.

"The Queen Mother..."

"On the emperor, the Ai family will advise you again. All relatives and nobles are the backbone of our Eight Banners. Only when we are united and manage the subordinates below are the real way out."

"The Queen Mother is clear and the servant respectfully sends the Queen Mother."

Xiaozhuang left the hall dejectedly. The powerful and powerful looked at each other and dispersed in groups.

Sony, Obai and Ebilong are all the backbone of the two yellow flags, and the two yellow flags have always been the same team as Huang Taiji. After Huang Taiji's death, they stood up to fight with Dorgon, who represented the interests of the two white flags. Only after compromise did the throne of Shunzhi. Now Shunzhi intends to give up the land within the pass and return to Liaodong. Even Xiaozhuang cannot persuade them, so they have to gather together for discussion.

After leaving the palace, the three of them came to Oboi's home, and the host and guests sat down. Without going around the circle, they turned to today's court meeting, especially Shunzhi's unexpected plan.

"Prince An and Prince Zheng, alas."

Now the two princes died one after another, especially the latter are not only the only remaining noble kings of the older generation of the Qing Dynasty, but also the banner owners of the Inlaid Blue Banner. In addition, the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner, the Manchu Zhenglan Banner and the Manchu Inlaid Blue Banner, and several Gushan Ezhen of the Mongolian and Han Army died in Jiangnan. The two blue banners that seemed to be the most seriously damaged, but facing the Ming army, the Eight Banners were still one. These two defeats and the massive reduction in personnel have hit the morale of the Eight Banners Army too much, and all of them are seen in his eyes.

When the three of them sat down, Ebilong began to sigh, but Sony simply kept silent. The more Oboi heard it, he became more and more angry. He invited these two guys to come over, not for the future of the two yellow flags, Shunzhi and the entire Eight Banners. Now these two guys looked dejected. Fortunately, Sony's family background was not prominent enough, but Ebilong was different. The son of Eyidu, one of the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, and his mother was Nurhaci's daughter. Now that things are about to come, he really makes him angry.

Oboi has always been a violent temper. He was just waiting to make a reproach, but Sony, who had not made a fuss along the way, took the lead and said, "We are the slaves of the emperor. The empress dowager is persuading him. It is the key to look at his subordinates and keep an eye on other flags. At this time, we must not lose our stance first."

Sony is cunning, but what he says is extremely important. The slaves below are second, but what about other flags, especially whether the blue flag whose dead flag owner will jump out and make trouble, is the key to the key.

Ebilong sighed and turned to keep silent, not knowing whether he hadn't thought about what to say or did not want to express his opinion for the time being. However, Oboi, after hearing Sony's words, nodded and agreed with this.

"Blue Flag..."

"It's not the blue flag, it's the two white flags and the blue flag!"

Sony interrupted Oboi's words directly, but the words were like thunder in Ebilong and Oboi's ears.

The two white flags were once Dorgon, the three brothers of Dodo and Ajige. After Dorgon's death, Dodo adopted Dorgon's son Dorbo was ordered to return to his ancestors by Shunzhi, and the Zhengbai flag fell into the hands of Shunzhi; the banner owner of the white flag is now Haoge's son Fushou, while the Zhenglan flag is in the hands of Dododo's son Doni.

Now the two white flags have changed their masters, but in a few years, the influence of the Dorgon brothers is still there, not to mention the fact that there is a Dorgon who is the Zhenglan Banner. Fushou is the son of Haoge. In the dispute over the throne that year, Haoge was the biggest loser. As the eldest son, he did not get the throne and was eventually killed by Dorgon. Although Shunzhi rehabilitated Haoge, Haoge's resentment was still there.

The authoritative battles among the Eight Banners have always been bloody, but because of the military power, no one can conquer the world with the centrist Daishan and Jirgalang holding two red flags and blue flags in his hand, so the balance always exists.

Now after these two earthquakes, the Inlaid Blue Banner was greatly damaged. Zhenglan Banner lost a Gushan Ezhen and the fifteen Niulu led by Yue Lezhi, and Zhenghuang Banner lost a Gushan Ezhen and a large number of soldiers. In addition, Shunzhi's unexpected remarks today, the Eight Banners' powerful people were in a state of the same state. They knew too well that it was impossible to expect them to give up this colorful world. Now that conflicts arise, God knows whether the originally suppressed Dorgon team will jump out to stir up the wind and rain.

The unity of the Eight Banners is the key, Xiaozhuang's words echoed in his mind. The two looked at each other, and Oboi said, "Now the damaged troops of each banner are quite large, especially the Inlaid Blue Banner. It is correct to be optimistic, but I am afraid that we must contact the two red flags."

The two red flags were always in the hands of Daishan and his ranks. Since Daishan had no chance to inherit the Khan throne, he was a centrist. Now that Jirgalang is dead, he naturally has to reach a tacit understanding with the two red flags first.

Speaking of this, the three began to study the next arrangement under this framework. The interests of the two yellow flags cannot be damaged. First of all, the throne must be in the hands of the Huang Taiji team, and it cannot be the Haoge team, because the Haoge team ascended the throne, and the white flag will become the yellow flag when it is ten times, which is something they cannot tolerate. More importantly, the undercurrent of the two white flags will cause losses to the eight banners, and it also needs to be eliminated through balance.

After discussing, the three of them decided to act separately and always do things. As for Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang is still there, so it is not so easy to leave.

After leaving each other, Obai and Ebilon both went to their respective stalls. However, Sony looked at the direction of the palace and murmured indifferently.

"Maybe, if it really starts, the current dilemma will be better solved."

……………………

Undercurrents were surging within the Eight Banners, and a fast horse also came to the capital under such a trend.

Liu Cheng had never been to this city, but since he was a child, he knew that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had lived in the imperial palace in the capital. Now the capital has changed its master, but he also changed his loyalty. In this way, the emperor is still the emperor and the capital is still the capital. I don’t know how long the current master of the capital can last under the current trend of Chen Wen sweeping the world.

He brought the expedited documents given to him when the Jiangnan and Jiangxi Governor Ma Guozhu sent him to cross the river. Liu Cheng had no energy to enter the city. The expedited documents were not in a hurry. It was originally a token of Ma Guozhu's help to enter the city. When Liu Cheng entered the city, he directly looked for the address left by Hu Quancai when he returned to Beijing. If he wanted to accomplish great things, he could only be an aide for consultation by just opening his mouth and had to find some people to do things together.

Hu Quancai had already returned to Beijing to wait for appointment, and the Southeast Economic Budget was defeated. The final responsibility fell on Hong Chengchou. The few of them escaped and rescued a large number of supplies from Jiangxi and recommended Liu Cheng as a talent, and received praise from Ma Guozhu, Yue Le and Jiergalang. The salary, the position, and the punishment of rank is indispensable, but the officials can continue to do it, as long as they can afford it.

After meeting, Hu Quancai invited Liu Cheng into the study and asked him about the details of the Battle of Nanjing. Although Liu Cheng could not meet him in person, he also learned a lot from Ma Guozhu and the defeated soldiers. Based on his understanding of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he could figure out the specific situation of both sides.

"Two princes, Gushan Ezhen Yild, Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Aljin, Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Lan Banner, Manchurian Inlaid Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Lan Bai, Mongolian Zhengbai Andali, Jiangnan Han Army Admiral Guan Qizhong died in battle, Jiangnan Jiangning Four Left Flags Angbang Zhangjing Titicacamu was captured, Jiangnan Jiangxi Governor Ma Guozhu, Susong Admiral Zhang Tianlu committed suicide. This battle was defeated too miserably, and I will not hide it from my brother. Now the capital is in panic. What are your countermeasures?"

"I'm not hiding it from my brother. If I don't have any calculations, I will never dare to come. I'm just a single person and a weak person. I always have to find someone with like-minded people to succeed."

That night, Hu Quancai started contacting. In terms of candidates, they were naturally the survivors of the Nanchang Shogunate. They were almost all in the capital. Although they had no rights, these people were the most suitable candidates. Caigu was all identified by Hong Chengchou. Now they have no power and want to climb up. They have the greatest benefits to borrow Liu Cheng's east wind. Moreover, they have all been enemies of Chen Wen, which is even more urgency.

Hu Quancai and Liu Cheng had already taken action. After a night of brewing, the powerful and powerful men from each banner also determined from the palace through various channels that Shunzhi had decided, Xiaozhuang once again persuaded him failed, and after a series of exchanges, he finally reached a consensus on cooperation.

The Eight Banners live in the inner city of Beijing, with two yellow flags in the north, two white flags in the east, two blue flags in the south, and two red flags in the west, surrounding the imperial city, like a arch.

As the news of withdrawal from Liaodong was revealed from the mansions of various powerful families, it soon spread throughout the inner city, like a bombshell, and immediately triggered riots in the city.

In the years since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, he had been encircling land in the north and used evil laws such as investment and recharge to support the Han people as slaves. Not only the powerful but also the lower-class flag managers became landlords. Even many coat slaves lived half of their master's life, which was a world of difference compared to those in Liaodong. Now that Shunzhi wants to give up the flower world in the pass, it is equivalent to letting them abandon their land and home business, return to the bitter and cold Liaodong to suffer. Wait for death, and their interests will be damaged.

At noon that day, after secretly connecting with the powerful, the old men and ladies from each banner brought the disabled flags and children of the underage to the palace to kowtow, asking Shunzhi to take back the life; the aunts of each household began to take their own ways, especially those who could enter the palace, who went directly into the palace to cry.

In the inner city, opposition immediately filled the period, but the flag managers of each flag were still worth the price according to the rules and did not reveal any possibility of mutiny.

There is no way. Now the Eight Banners are in danger. If a civil war breaks out in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army will scatter birds and beasts, let alone the Han people in the near area. When Shunzhi infringed on everyone's interests, the powerful and nobles let go of all contradictions and united together in order to eliminate Shunzhi's life.

Of course, if this is not possible, it would be disrespectful to say that Huang Taiji is not only Shunzhi, but Shunzhi is not without his own son!

From the royal family to the powerful, from the powerful, from the ordinary bannermen, and even the coat slaves in the royal family and the powerful family all expressed their dissatisfaction to Shunzhi, a foolish monarch, in various ways without causing violence or touching the bottom line.

In the inner city, the crowd was infuriated, and the same was true in the imperial city. At this moment, to the west of the Forbidden City, there was a small island called Yingtai in the South China Sea, which had just been built for half a year. Shunzhi moved here to avoid those suggestions since last night. As a result, things got worse and worse, and he simply did not return to the palace.

He didn't go back, which did not mean that Xiaozhuang would not come. When he saw Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang waved the eunuch and palace maid back, walked forward, raised his hand and slapped him directly on Shunzhi's face.
