After the cleansing whip was fired three times, outside the Huangji Gate, the courtiers wearing both Ming and Qing court uniforms kowtowed to Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, who was sitting on a chair next to the empty throne.

Dorgon frowned, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

He has a lot more troubles now than Dorgon in history!

Hundreds of miles west of Beijing, there is Datong Mansion, ruled by the king of the Ming Dynasty. There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers, an impregnable Datong City, a lot of small towns and forts, and a side wall. If you want to send troops

If you go for it, you will either suffer heavy casualties or waste time, energy and food.

There is another sea sand castle at the mouth of the Wei River in the southeast of Beijing. It is built on an island at the mouth of the Wei River. Although it is not far from the land, for the Qing army without a navy, it is really difficult to get up there.

It’s not easy. Besides, there is an earthen city above, and the Ming army is very good at using firecrackers to defend it!

If the Hongyi artillery cannot be moved up, it depends on their skill in using fire guns in the Battle of Dagukou. Even if thousands of real Manchus die, they may not be able to defeat that fortress.

Real Manchuria is not Chinese cabbage, how can it be consumed like this? Just wait until the Wei River freezes in winter.

So Dorgon now often discusses with his men how to defeat Datong, and simply ignores Haisha Island - the Qing Dynasty doesn't care about the small island!

In addition to Datong and Haisha Island, Li Zicheng of Taiyuan is also not resting. He is unwilling to hand over Shanxi honestly and is still concentrating his troops in Taiyuan Prefecture. It seems that he wants to resist the heavenly soldiers!

In the current situation, if Li Zicheng hides in Shaanxi, Dorgon will let him go for the time being. The Ming Dynasty is not completely dead, and there is also a prince who is said to be the reincarnation of Zhu Yuanzhang. We must concentrate our efforts to deal with it, or wait until Zhu Cixi develops

In a few years, I might be able to call back.

But the problem is that Shanxi cannot be ignored! Shanxi is known as a beautiful place with mountains and rivers inside and outside. If it is not taken down, Beijing will be under Li Zicheng's military front all the time. It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to let go and deal with Can Ming!

Otherwise, when the Qing Dynasty went south, Li Zicheng stabbed Beijing and took Beijing back, and the Qing Dynasty would be over.

Therefore, Dorgon's plan in June and July of the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty was to start with Shanxi and then Shandong. Of course, before sending troops, he had to move the capital of the Qing Dynasty from Shengjing to Beijing. From now on, the Eight Banners disciples will be

Having registered residence in Beijing, it is much closer to send troops from Beijing than from Shengjing.

After the matter of moving the capital is finished, in September or October, we will unite with the Ming Dynasty King of Datong to attack Li Zicheng. After taking care of Li Zicheng, we will go back and attack the Dai King Zhu Cijiong, and surround Datong first.

After completing the siege of Datong, we may be free to use troops against Shandong!

According to Dorgon's thoughts, he must have half of the country this time, right? Shandong must be taken, and the east road can at least reach Xuzhou before stopping. Then let's see if Can Ming is willing to surrender and pay the annual coins? If so, it will be big.

The Qing Dynasty then used troops to control Henan and Shaanxi, and completely wiped out Li Zicheng. Then they would consider whether to unify the world?

But Dorgon got the news yesterday that Yanshenggong Kong Yinzhi was so crazy that he actually thought that the Qing Dynasty wanted to dig up his family's ancestral graves when they entered the customs - what is there to dig up Confucius's grave? When Confucius died,

Confucianism has no market at all, so Confucius was not very rich. What could he be buried with?

The Qing Dynasty spent so much effort to invade and killed so many people, just to dig an ancient tomb with little profit or water?

Is the co-author of the Qing Dynasty a backstabber?

It’s outrageous! The Qing Dynasty only looted, not dug graves!

What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Cixiang actually believed it, and together with Kong Yinzhi, a fool, issued a "Call to the Eastern Capsules" to protect the famous religion and defend Confucius. He also appointed Shi Kefa as the governor of seven provinces and stationed troops in Shandong.

, while defending Confucius, at the same time cleaning up the Central Plains...

Dorgon was really annoyed at this time. Because once the Ming court regarded the Qing Dynasty as the "enemy of Confucius", it would be impossible for the acting king of Datong to join forces with the Qing Dynasty, and Shi Kefa of Shandong had to be on guard against it.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty could not concentrate its main force to attack Li Zicheng, and had to divide its forces to defend the Ming army in Datong and Shandong.

Moreover, Dorgon also received news that after Zhu Cixiang left Dagokou, he stayed in Dengzhou for nearly two months. During this period, he vigorously rectified the Denglai Seven Guards and held large-scale team training in Denglai prefectures and counties. Finally, he stayed in Jiaozhou (belonging to Laizhou)

Mansion) sealed the Tang vassal and moved the Lu vassal to Qingzhou. They also gave the two vassals the power to manage the army on horseback and the people on horseback.

Of course, these measures are not what Dorgon is most worried about. What Dorgon is most worried about is that Zhu Cihong left a quite powerful navy in Dengzhou!

The coastlines of Liaodong, West Liaoning, and North Korea are now under threat from the Dengzhou Navy!

...

"I'm calling you here today just to talk to you about the "Call for the Qing Dynasty"... Do you all know it? It was planned by that bastard Kong Yinzhi. He wanted to slander me and the Qing Dynasty to dig up the saint.

Grave, there is no such thing. Our Qing Dynasty also respects Confucius. In the future, we will open schools to obtain scholars, so that scholars can also take exams and become officials. How can we dig up Confucius' grave? But that boy Zhu Cixiang is ignorant, how can he believe it?

, Yixin is in trouble with our Qing Dynasty. Both the Manchus and Han people here are good ministers of our Qing Dynasty. You have said, how should we clarify this matter?"

Dorgon spoke Chinese very fluently, and his tone was not solemn. He was just a little bit dumbfounded, as if he was scolding a junior who made mistakes, and there was no great malice.

Of course, this attitude was also deliberately disguised to show to the Han officials. Zhu Cihong had killed so many of his two-white-flag warriors, and he wished he could have Zhu Cihong skinned and cramped.

But if you can’t catch the problem, you can’t kill it!

Zhu Cixiang is a tough opponent!

"Prince Regent, I think that in order to clarify this matter, I have to send Confucian ministers as envoys to the Southern Dynasties, so that the scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Dynasties can see how our Qing Dynasty respects Confucian ministers, Confucius, and Mencius."

It was Fan Wencheng who made the suggestion. Now that Hong Chengchou is dead, his death has also made most of the traitors who defected to the Qing Dynasty become cautious, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. So Fan Wencheng can only work harder.

But there are always exceptions!

"Prince Regent, my servant Sun Zhixian is willing to inform Jiangnan!" This time it was an official in his fifties who had shaved his braided head and wore the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty.

He is the famous Sun Zhixian!

When Zhu Cixi came to Nanxing to serve Emperor Chongzhen, he had been living in his hometown of Zichuan County, Jinan Prefecture for many years. He had long been an idle cloud and wild crane. However, he refused to give up and wanted to join the new master. At that time, Li Zicheng had already been defeated and the Qing Dynasty was in full swing.

So he and his servants shaved their braids and put on Manchu clothes, hoping to welcome the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty did not welcome him, but he saw Zhu Cihong "acting wildly" in Denglai, and the more he worked, the more prosperous he became. He did not dare to stay in Zichuan, so he took his family to Beijing to defect to the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon made him a prince.

He was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but he was not allowed to join the banner, and he was still allowed to serve as a Han minister.

At this time, Dorgon did not promote shaving and changing clothes in Beijing, so Sun Zhixian, who shaved his hair by himself, was a bit different.

"Are you willing to go to Jiangnan as an envoy?" Dorgon didn't know that Sun Zhixian was a notorious eunuch (if Hong Chengchou was still there, he would definitely not let Sun Zhixian go), and he didn't find anyone else asking for help, so he asked

Nodding, "Then you go...but in what name?"

"The slave is an angel of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he goes to Jiangnan in the name of an imperial envoy to promulgate the edict." Sun Zhixian said.

"That's it..." Dorgon missed Hong Chengchou a little at this time. No one told him the inside story of the Ming Dynasty. Although Fan Wencheng was also a high-level traitor, he was not from the power circle of the Ming Dynasty.

Understand the situation in the Ming Dynasty. As for other important traitors, they dare not speak now.

But people cannot be resurrected! Dorgon had no choice but to look at a bunch of lifeless traitorous ministers and ask: "You Han ministers, tell me, is it okay for Sun Zhixian to go like this?"

As the leader of the Han officials, Luo Yangxing went out to announce: "Your Majesty, if Shilang Sun goes to Jiangnan in the name of Xuan Yu, he will most likely be killed by Prince Zhu Ming. He probably won't even be able to reach Yanzhou."

"I don't think so either... Zhu Cixiang is so cruel!" Dorgon nodded, "Then in what name should we go?"
Chapter completed!
