Fan Wencheng had been deprived of all his posts at this time and was imprisoned in a small yard.

He has nothing to do every day and takes care of the flowers and plants to pass the time.

Fortunately, although he was imprisoned, his food, clothing and food were not too difficult.

On that day, he was trimming flowers and plants and suddenly the door was opened, and a burly man walked over.

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but frown. It's not time to eat now, why would anyone come?

But he had nothing to be scared about, so he put down his scissors and walked forward.

"Mr. Fan, the Regent said that you will be restored from now on."

Fan Wencheng was stunned, as if he felt that he was in a dream.

"What did you say just now? My official position has been restored?"

"Yes, this is an order issued by the Regent himself, and can it be fake?"

Fan Wencheng's body couldn't help but start to tremble, and his chest fluctuated rapidly.

The Regent finally forgives him.

Lukedehn's miserable defeat was not his fault, he had done everything he could do.

The regent was helpless because he was punished. After all, someone had to be the one who came to defeat the war.

"Wait, wait a moment, let me sort out my appearance before going to see the Regent."

"What are you waiting for? The Regent doesn't care about these things. Come with me."

"well!"

Fan Wencheng was immersed in ecstasy at this moment and wanted to leave this small yard immediately.

He is not the one who can let go of everything, but now he has the opportunity to recover and of course he has to seize it.

But Fan Wencheng followed Dorgon out of the yard and had horses ready, so the two of them turned over and headed towards Prince Rui's mansion one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived on horseback, but the main gate was not opened. Fan Wencheng and the others entered the royal palace from the corner gate.

This is understandable. After all, Fan Wencheng had committed such crimes before, and even if he was forgiven, he had to be more low-key. Otherwise, if those Eight Banner nobles were caught and sneered, Dorgon would not be able to withstand it.

Fan Wencheng's emotions were difficult to calm down. He walked and thought about how to speak after seeing the Regent.

It can be seen that the Regent is now facing difficulties, otherwise he would not have been in such a hurry to recover.

What Fan Wencheng is best at is making suggestions and always giving the most appropriate strategies based on the current situation.

Not long after, Fan Wencheng came to Dorgon's study, and he took a deep breath and walked in.

Seeing Dorgon looking at a map with his hands on his back, Fan Wencheng urged him to step forward and kneel down and salute, "Slave Fan Wencheng pays homage to the Regent."

When Dorgon heard this, he turned around with a smile on his face, and Xu helped Fan Wencheng up.

"Mr. Fan doesn't have to be too polite."

Fan Wencheng suddenly felt flattered.

Just this morning he was a criminal, but after half a day he was treated so courteously by the Regent.

This is really a blessing.

"I have reflected deeply during the time of being guilty and will never make such stupid mistakes again in the future."

"Okay, okay. You can correct your mistakes, but there is no greater good."

Dorgon nodded with a smile.

This slave really knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to take the initiative to find a way for his master. In today's current situation, he is indeed the most suitable candidate to replace Hong Chengchou.

Dorgon narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly: "Mr. Fan just came out and didn't know much about the current situation, so I will talk to you. Come and see."

Dorgon turned to the map and clicked at the location in Sichuan.

"Sichuan's geographical location is extremely important. You can attack Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, and retreat to Hanzhong. Not long ago, my king ordered Hong Chengchou, Boluo, Tong Yanghe and others to lead their troops to attack Sichuan."

Fan Wencheng quickly got into the role and listened very seriously.

"It's a pity that the Ming thieves and the Western thieves were cunning and actually joined forces to design an ambush. The Eight Banners Army suffered a crushing defeat."

Dorgon smiled bitterly and said, "Since I can remember, the Eight Banners Warriors have been one-sidedly massacred against the Southerners, and have never suffered such a big defeat. If you don't mention the losses after this battle, you're afraid that the Southerners' confidence will increase."

Fan Wencheng was naturally surprised to hear Dorgon say this.

Logically speaking, the Qing army has extremely strong combat power, and even if it cannot be taken down, Sichuan should be able to escape unscathed.

How could it be a complete failure?

Of course, Fan Wencheng would not be so stupid as to ask about the specific details. Dorgon asked him to come and was definitely not listening to his questions.

"Mr. Fan thinks, how should I deal with myself in the Qing Dynasty?"

Sure enough, Dorgon began to ask for advice!

Fan Wencheng thought about it secretly in his heart, and then replied: "Reply to the prince's words, my foolish view is that our army should focus on resting and resting at this moment, and it is not advisable to fight again."

Dorgon was obviously a little unwilling to give up and continued, "What if someone stirs up trouble in the south?"

Fan Wencheng was stunned.

Someone is in trouble in the south?

When he was banned, Hong Chengchou had not yet colluded with Zheng Zhilong, so he was not aware of it.

Dorgon then explained: "Fujian General Zheng Zhilong had long been inclined to surrender and had already sold grain to the Qing Dynasty through sea. Recently, the King of Gui of Ming Dynasty also intends to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty."

Fan Wencheng only felt that the mountains were covered with fog.

It is already surprising enough to be Zheng Zhilong alone. Why is there any King Gui of Ming Dynasty involved in the Ming Dynasty?

"This is also an extremely normal thing. After all, there is only one dragon throne, and everyone wants to do it."

Dorgon explained.

"What the prince means is that this King Gui wants to be the emperor himself?"

Fan Wencheng finally understood.

Dorgon nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

If this is the case, it would be reasonable. But this King Gui is really stupid.

One mountain cannot tolerate two masters, and one country cannot tolerate two masters.

He wanted to use the Qing army to overthrow the Ming emperor and then divide the river and rule it after the matter was completed. But Dorgon would not agree.

If there was a real civil strife in the south, the Qing army would definitely take advantage of the situation and take over Jiangnan in one fell swoop and unify the world. How could there be any reason to make wedding dresses for others?

But according to the regent's meaning, I want to cooperate with this King Gui for the time being.

Fan Wencheng weighed the pros and consented in his heart and advised: "If it is as the prince said just now, then it is not necessary to cooperate with the King of Gui. It is just that the prince should not invest too much Eight Banners troops. Only send Han vassal kings such as Wu Sangui to attack."

Dorgon actually had the same idea. After all, the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Sichuan, and he was not willing to fight again in the short term from top to bottom.

If Dorgon forced a war, it would probably lead to unanimous opposition.

But if the Han vassal kings such as Wu Sangui were sent to fight, the situation would be completely different.

After all, these troops were picked up for nothing, and even if they were damaged, they would not feel too distressed.

However, in this way, the personal reputation of Wu Sangui and others will inevitably increase, and Dorgon has to give them more autonomy in commanding troops.

This is equivalent to decentralization of power, which inevitably makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

But at the moment this may be the best choice.

Dorgon pondered for a while and nodded, "I think this is a way, so I will do it like this."
