Chapter 441

Dorgon was full of confidence in his heart at this moment. Today, it can be said that it is good news. On the one hand, he developed muskets, and on the other hand, the Mongolians sent another 70,000 troops.

It can be said that it was the happiest day, so this guy only drank two more drinks and has not relaxed like this for more than half a month.

Dorgon calculated the troops in his hands. If Brother Hao could bring back 80,000 troops, that was so big. The Qing Dynasty still had 200,000 troops to fight, which was not a failure...

In addition, more than 100,000 Han army green camp soldiers were temporarily arranged around the capital. Although these people were not strong enough in combat, it was still okay to be cannon fodder.

If we really fight, we can also drive cars and horses to fight with the Nanming army, so we won’t have any counterattack ability.

"Does the Regent really want to defend the capital?"

Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment and finally said this sentence. If the Southern Ming army had not sealed Shanhaiguan, Dorgon might have thought about going back.

But now that there are so much good news, Dorgon's confidence is a little inflated. If he defends the capital to the death, Fan Wencheng's life will have to be here.

What Dorgon and Fan Wencheng saw was a different world. What Dorgon saw was a musket developed, and what Fan Wencheng saw was a garbage musket developed.

The real content seen by both sides is completely different. If you rely on those muskets, it would be like you have no advantage at all.

Fan Wencheng assisted Dorgon for so many years, so he naturally knew what Dorgon was thinking. The three generations of the Aisin Jueluo family all had a common dream, that is, they could enter the Central Plains in their lifetime.

Now Dorgon has finally taken the most important step. If he withdraws this, how can Dorgon be satisfied?

After hearing Fan Wencheng's words, Dodo and Ajige frowned. Could this old guy have seen something wrong again?

If it were the past, the two brothers would have spoken, but now they both like Dorgon, and they also want to know what Dorgon means.

"What does Mr. Fan think?"

Dorgon did have the intention of defending the capital, but Dorgon knew that Fan Wencheng was not a simple person and could be respected by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Fan Wencheng definitely had his own brain, and Dorgon also wanted to see what Fan Wencheng thought.

"I think it's better to return to Liaodong."

It is useless to hide it at this time. Even if you flatter, you cannot flatter at military and national affairs. This is also what Dorgon likes Fan Wencheng.

How many people in the Qing Dynasty wanted to flatter Dorgon? Basically, Dorgon knew that the reason why he asked Fan Wencheng at a critical moment was that he knew Fan Wencheng's way of doing things and would not give himself a soul at this time.

"Can Mr. Fan explain it to us?"

Although Dorgon was not satisfied, he still wanted to hear what Fan Wencheng was thinking. In the past, Fan Wencheng wanted to return to Liaodong, but he still had this idea now. Doesn’t Fan Wencheng know that the situation has changed now?

Not only did we study the muskets of the Southern Ming court, but Prince Li Daishan was able to bring back 70,000 cavalry from Mongolia, and the troops withdrawn by Haoge, could we not fight in the capital?

Duoduo and Ajige were also a little dissatisfied. In the past, they had no weapons, but now they are strong, so why can't they fight a war with the Southern Ming court?

"Three princes, don't be angry. There is a reason why slaves say this. If we defend the capital, then does Liaodong still need it? Goryeo has completely turned to the Southern Ming court. If we give up Liaodong, it will be a huge adjustment to our strategy. Once the capital is lost, we will be rootless water. But if we don't give up Liaodong, then we will have to reinforce Liaodong. Now Shanhaiguan has been occupied, and the route to reinforce Liaodong is to pass through the Mongolian grassland. At that time, the front line was lengthened, and the transportation line was still in the hands of the Mongolian prince..."

When Fan Wencheng said this, the smiles on the faces of the Dorgon brothers disappeared instantly.

I originally thought they had found the capital for the decisive battle, but after listening to Fan Wencheng's words, it seemed that nothing had changed. It was indeed more expensive to defend two places than one place.

The most important thing is that these two places cannot be looked at from beginning to end. Shanhaiguan was once Dorgon's favorite place, because it means that the Qing Dynasty started from here and gradually occupied the entire Ming Dynasty.

But now Shanhaiguan is like a lock and is directly stuck on the neck of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon had several thoughts in his mind for a moment.

The Mongolian princes believed that if they put the traffic line in their territory, they would know what they were thinking. Once the Qing Dynasty declined, these people would likely cut off the traffic line in the hall.

Liaodong is now all old, weak, sick and disabled. If they do not provide support, they will never be able to withstand the attacks of the Ming army and the Goryeo army. If the land of Longxing is lost, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the entire Qing Dynasty.

"Prince, this is just one aspect, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang..."

Having said that, Fan Wencheng would not continue to talk about it, and the rest of the matter had to be understood by Dorgon himself.

Dorgon felt nervous at this time.

Many pictures appeared in his mind, some were riding a horse with the Empress Dowager on the grassland, and some were in conflict last time. If the traffic line was broken, would Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang continue to carry the hall sign?

If the Empress Dowager surrenders, it will be a huge blow to the entire Qing Dynasty. Of course, this will definitely reach the last step, but this is definitely possible.

Duoduo and Ajig looked at each other and did not say much about this issue. Their brothers and the Empress Dowager themselves have bad relationships.

After Huang Taiji died, the two brothers were preparing to rebel and support Dorgon as the emperor.

Who knew that under the pressure from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and others, Dorgon actually accepted the current conditions, so the two brothers never caught a cold about the Empress Dowager. They believed that it was the empress dowager's clever words that made Dorgon give up his dream of becoming an emperor.

Others don’t know what happened between the two, so they have to think about it themselves...
