Empress Zhang was very dissatisfied with the fact that Empress Gao asked to be named "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" without even saying hello, not to mention that the word "Fengtian" is a bit taboo.

Although "Fengtian" can be explained as Empress Gao's desire to respect Liu Yongxi, the Emperor Chengtian, as his true destiny, as his true destiny, the problem is that in the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng once used the banner of "Fengtian's Grand Marshal of Yi", and Liu Yongxi had the title of "Master of the World War" before. Now Empress Gao and the remnants of the Dashun Army asked to be named "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" in a sense, in order to summon Li Zicheng, they said that they did not forget that they were the special identity of the remnants of the Dashun Army.

In fact, the situation is even more complicated. The civil servant who initially proposed "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" was not very much. He thought that since there were "Yingtian", "Shuntian" and "Chengtian" No. 3, it was natural to use the name "Fengtian".

Although the former subordinates of the Dashun Army were granted titles to be marquis and princes, they were eventually thieves who thought of showing their strength to the court to ensure that they were foolproof. When they heard the word "Fengtian" and thought of the old story of "Fengtian's Marshal", they naturally contributed to the fire. They felt that the title of "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" was the best choice, and let the court understand that if they were not comforted properly, they would definitely provoke the second Li Zicheng.

Although Empress Gao felt that the title of "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" was a bit inappropriate, it would be difficult for everyone to stand up and oppose it. Moreover, this is also a test for Emperor Fengtian. It would not be too late if Emperor Fengtian was not satisfied with her changing her name.

But now that Liu Yongxi has not made any statement, Empress Zhang can no longer stand it. She always feels that the name "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" has hidden murderous intent. Liu Yongxi immediately said: "Then according to Sister Yan's meaning, let Jingzhou think of another name. Sister Yan is completely different from her!"

When Queen Zhang heard Liu Yongxi say this, she changed her mind: "According to my opinion, there is no need to change it, but Xiaoxi has to deal with them when she arrives in Jingzhou. Xiaoxi should not be too kind-hearted and ruthless at that time!"

Liu Yongxi thought Queen Zhang’s attitude was very interesting: “Then let’s do it according to Sister Yan’s wishes!”

But Empress Zhang immediately changed her mind: "For the Gao family and the Dashun army, it should be done according to Xiao Xi's wishes. Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Huguang, but it doesn't matter. Your Majesty should follow the actual situation in Huguang!"

She felt that although the Gao family and the remnants of the Dashun Army were hateful, they had been included in the political framework of the inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom. What's more important is that even if Huguang and even Sichuan were taken down, they were still very far away from the world's great concentration, and it was not yet time for the birds to hide their bows.

Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "Sister Yan is really my good friend. I'm relieved to have Sister Yan in Nanjing!"

But Dorgon's view on this issue was completely different from that of Liu Yongxi. He said very clearly: "The fearful thief in Jinhua is just Liu Yongxi. If Liu Yongxi is not in Nanjing, what can Zhang Yan do if a woman is just a woman!"

Although Dorgon said that taking Nanjing was easy, Duoduo had been psychologically shattered by the Ming army of Yue. Although he tried every means to rebuild his various Niulu and Yingtou during this period, he was at most one-tenth of his combat power compared to last year's southern expedition, so he was really unwilling to set foot in the real bottomless pit of Jiangnan again.

Therefore, although he was the defeated general, he was the first to stand up to oppose Dorgon: "Regent, although there is only one woman in Nanjing, there are Zhou Zhisheng, Wang Puxiang, Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Boyi, four armies guarding him. It is not easy to break through the Jianghuai River and advance to Nanjing!"

Dai Shan also felt that this matter was not easy. He said very clearly: "Last year, the conquest of soldiers lost tens of thousands of people, almost shaking the foundation of the country. It may not be easy to fight south again this year!"

Dai Shan was the Great Beile who was on par with Huang Taiji at the time. Although he had retreated to the second line in the past two years and had no interest in the throne, his status was finally here, so Dorgon had to reply specifically: "This year, I have to fight south. The Jinhua thieves only occupied one province in Zhejiang, which has caused the royal army to lose tens of thousands. If they were allowed to take over the entire south, what would our Qing Dynasty do to deal with them?"

All the princes present, Bele had to admit that Dorgon's words made sense, but Duoduo brought out his book bag: "I heard from the Han people that the attack on the north from the south has been done since ancient times, but at that time, it was the opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of the civil strife in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty!"

The Northern Expeditions of all dynasties almost ended in a hurry, but Dorgon's view was different from those of Duoduo and Daishan: "This southern expedition is different from the second year of Shunzhi!"

Haoge finally dared to speak: "What's the difference?"

Dorgon immediately said: "In the second year of Shunzhi, he was preparing to fight to determine the world, but this year he was preparing to seize it as soon as possible. He went to the Southern Dynasty to harvest wheat and grass valley. He didn't have to conquer Nanjing or cross the Huaihe River..."

But Dorgon's expression suddenly became serious: "But no matter what, Xuzhou must be taken down and whose decision is to give up Xuzhou?"

Although Dorgon was always cautious during Huang Taiji, he had a demeanor of dominating the world since he became the regent. He asked angrily that neither Daishan nor Duo nor Haoge dared to answer.

After all, with the situation at that time, the Qing army did have the opportunity to defend Xuzhou, and from the military situation of the north and south confrontation, the north must also defend Xuzhou. Dorgon specially asked Grand Secretary Fan Wencheng to bring the map and said: "After Xuzhou fell into the Jinhua thief, both Shandong and Henan could only set up passive defenses everywhere. If you are not careful, you have to retreat to the Yellow River, so we must bring Xuzhou back!"

Although some princes present, Beile, felt that retreating to the north of the Yellow River and confronting the Chengtian Dynasty was an acceptable plan, they also knew that proposing such a plan politically was equivalent to self-death. After all, the Ming Dynasty, which occupied the southeast, was already so terrible. If they really wanted them to occupy the south of the Yellow River, they would probably have no foothold in the pass.

Therefore Dai Shan only raised one of the most concerned questions: "I am really ready to stop when I see it this year? The elite soldiers and generals of Jinhua thieves are all around Liu Yongxi!"

Although Liu Yongxi's personal campaign against Huguang means that the Chengtian Dynasty's most elite field groups temporarily left Jiangnan, only these field groups exist. Even if the Qing Dynasty took over Nanjing, it would not mean that the Chengtian Dynasty had been completely resolved.

Dorgon said very clearly: "Although the whole country is ready to stop when it is ready, it is also for the peace of the generation. Only by completely hurting the Jinhua thieves and forcing them to agree to use the Qinling and Huaihe River as the boundary, we can persist in the north for a long time. If we don't hurt the Jinhua thieves, we may chase us after us after we exit the pass!"

Dorgon said this, all the princes and Bell have already understood that if the Ming army of Yue won many battles on the battlefield and won a great victory over every battle of the Qing Dynasty, then even if the Qing Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace, the Chengtian Dynasty would never agree to it but would continue to plan the Northern Expedition.

The Qing Dynasty's rule in the north and outside the pass was completely based on force, but the basis of this force was extremely weak. The Qing Dynasty's real use of only a few hundred Niulu.

The reason why the failure of the southern expedition last year almost shook the foundation of the country was because the Eight Banners Niulu had lost too much. Until now, all the princes present, Beile, did not know how many Eight Banners Armored soldiers had lost by Haoge's men. Even Geng Zhongming was annihilated by the Ming army. Only Kong Youde accommodated nearly a thousand remaining soldiers.

Under this situation, as long as the Ming Dynasty army in Yue had several more annihilation battles or even a war of attrition that both sides suffered losses, the Qing Dynasty would not shake its foundation, but would completely destroy its country!

After all, after the Ming Dynasty unified the south, the manpower and material resources were far better than the Qing Dynasty. Now there was clear information coming from the south, that is, Zheng Zhilong from Fujian had already paid tribute to the Jinhua thieves, and the territory ruled by the Celestial Empire and the people and material resources that could be mobilized have made another huge progress.

Therefore, all the princes, Bell clearly feels that continuing the southern expedition this year is extremely risky, but in order to save the fruits of victory that have been obtained, we should carry out a southern expedition that will be collected as soon as possible. At least we must bring back Xuzhou Prefecture. However, Dorgon did not ask their opinions but asked Haoge: "King Su, do you think you should regain Xuzhou? It is your decision for many people to withdraw from Xuzhou!"

Haoge had already had pain in Dorgon's hands, and this Jiangnan battle had already become a frightened bird, so Dorgon immediately expressed his opinion: "Of course, we must recover Xuzhou. If we don't take Xuzhou, what can we do to negotiate terms with the Jinhua thieves. Only by taking Xuzhou will we have the capital to negotiate peace talks!"

Dorgon's sharp eyes turned to Duoduo again: "What does King Yu think about this?"

How can Duoduo look at it!

He had been psychologically shattered by the Ming army of Yue, and now these remnants of defeated soldiers and soldiers in his hands were unable to deal with the Ming army of Yue, so he said very clearly: "Recovering Xuzhou, Huaian, Yangzhou and Nanjing are all good things, but how much chance of winning is this matter? Where did the Nan conscripts come from?"

As the saying goes, a clever wife cannot cook without rice. He must be the main force of the Nanzheng, Haoge and Daishan acted as the main force, but Daishan used all his strength and took out all his family's assets to restore the direct troops under his command to 6,000. Naturally, he was unwilling to throw them away again in this Nanzheng.

The questions asked by Duoduo were the most concerned issues of all the princes present. Everyone is not opposed to taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Ming army in the West to launch a large-scale southern expedition and ending when they are better. But the key is how many troops can the Qing Dynasty mobilize? It is impossible to destroy all its assets on the southern expedition!
