Because of the crime of treason, Hauge was deprived of all his titles and demoted to a commoner. During the court meeting, those who expressed dissent were the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Moktu, the Xianghuang Banner Jia La Zhangjing Yang Shan, and the Xianghuang Banner Second Class Jia La La. Zhang Jing, Luo Shuo, a bachelor of the Academy of Chinese History, and others were all executed and deprived of all honors on charges of cover-up and conspiracy.

This incident caused a great shock. No one, including the regent Jierhalang, showed any objection. You must know that Jierhalang supported Hauge. As for Prince Li, he did not show up at all. .

From this, everyone understood that the court was completely controlled by the regent Dorgon. The emperor was just a decoration. Dorgon had the final say on all matters in the court.

Before the storm of dealing with Hauge had passed, Dorgon suddenly summoned the Manchu dignitaries above the first-class Jia La Zhangjing of the Eight Banners Army in Shenyang, and they all gathered in the Dazheng Hall to discuss important matters.

Dazheng Hall, greenhouse.

It was extremely cold in Shenyang in the first month of the year. Unless it was during the imperial dynasty, Dorgon would handle government affairs in the greenhouse of the Dazheng Palace. There was also an underground fire dragon in the hall, but the hall was too empty and it still felt cold standing in it. .

Dodo and Azig entered the greenhouse.

This was the first time that three brothers discussed important matters in the greenhouse. In the past, Dorgon paid a little attention to his influence and was unwilling to be too public. However, after dealing with Hauge, a large number of Manchu nobles visited the mansion, which showed that Because of his loyalty, Dorgon gave up a lot of worries and no longer paid attention to many details.

But Dorgon still couldn't stand Azig.

Azig is the eldest among the three brothers and was canonized as Prince Wuying of the Qing Dynasty. It should be said that when Dorgon and Duduo were still young, Azig tried his best to protect Dorgon and Duduo. Both Gun and Dodo knew very well that Dorgon would never forget this kind of kindness. You must know that the royal family has no family ties. It is commendable that Azig can do this.

Unfortunately, Azig has a fatal flaw: he has a bad temper and is simple-minded.

If you have a bad temper and a simple mind, big things will happen. When Huang Taiji died of illness, Azig went to the Dazheng Palace to attack him. He was so focused on letting Dorgon inherit the throne that he almost stopped Dorgon from coming to power.

Dorgon did not dare to reuse Azig. On the contrary, as the regent, he often had to constantly restrict Azig to prevent Azig from doing some lawless things.

But this time, when the life and death of the Qing Dynasty was involved, Dorgon still thought of Azig.

There is a document on the desk.

"Brother, third brother, you are here. This is a memorial from Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme..."

Before Dorgon finished speaking, Azig jumped up and spoke.

"What, Ning Wan me, this bastard, is originally a Han. When my second brother was dealing with Hauge a few days ago, this Ning Wan me actually stood up and spoke, and brought out some ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for Jierharang If I spoke up for this old boy, I would have chopped off his head..."

Dorgon snorted coldly and watched Azig speak unceremoniously.

"Brother, I haven't finished speaking yet. Please be quiet for a moment and listen patiently to what I have to say. Dealing with matters in the court cannot be solved by just talking and killing people. Ning Wan, I am a straightforward person, and I am very fond of this. It is clear that he is concerned with the situation rather than the person. Such people are useful to us. If someone says something unpleasant in court, then they must be killed. I am afraid no one will speak out in the future..."

Azig was a little unconvinced, cocked his neck, and looked at Dorgon before speaking.

"Second brother, there is nothing good about the Han people. It doesn't matter if we kill them all. When we entered the pass to fight, we killed countless Han people. That was so refreshing. I see, second brother, why are you so timid now that you have become the regent?"

..."

"Snapped..."

Dorgon slapped his palm on the table, his face turned livid, and Azig was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, although we are brothers, I tell you that everything I do is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. If you continue to think like this and are stubborn, one day I will treat you rudely.

Take action..."

Duduo quickly stood up and stood between Dorgon and Azig.

"Second brother, eldest brother has such a temper. In other words, it's just a word, don't take it seriously..."

Although Azig is the eldest among the three brothers, he only has the title of county king, which is much inferior to the titles of Dorgon and Prince Dodo. In addition, Dorgon is also the regent and handles things vigorously and resolutely.

He is ruthless and does what he says, so he is still a little restrained in front of Dorgon.

Seeing that Dorgon really lost his temper, Azig lost his temper and sat down silently.

Azig showed weakness, but Dorgon stopped when he saw the situation and waved his hand for Dodo to sit down.

"This document can also be regarded as an important piece of intelligence. It shows that the Denglai New Army of the Wu Dynasty is likely to be unable to hold back and launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty..."

As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, Duduo snorted coldly.

"Second brother, I was just thinking that the Eight Banners disciples have been doing nothing for so long. They have been like this for a long time, and their military morale has been weakened. We need to find something for them to do. Dawu's new Denglai army is strong on the surface.

In fact, they are just doing some sneaky things. During the war, how dare I fight face to face with my Eight Banners disciples..."

After Dodo finished speaking, Azig also swept away his previous decadent look and spoke impatiently.

"What the third brother said is, I also think that the Eight Banners disciples will take the initiative to cross the Liao River and launch an attack on the Denglai New Army..."

Dorgon squinted at the two of them and spoke expressionlessly.

"You are full of confidence. If I remember correctly, both of you have fought against the new army of Denglai. I don't seem to have seen you win the battle..."

Duduo stood up again, looked at Dorgon, and spoke unconvinced.

"The Denglai New Army adopted a sneak attack method of combat, but I didn't care. I encountered their plot, so it failed. This sneaky method is despised by others. If I could almost fight head-on with the Denglai New Army, I would

They must be killed until they cry for father and mother, and kneel in front of me to beg for mercy..."

When Azig was about to speak, Dorgon waved his hand.

"The purpose of combat is to win. No matter what fighting method the Denglai New Army uses, they will win if they win. We must admit this. If in the next battle, the Denglai New Army will still use sneak attacks, or will they use sneak attacks?

Having won victory and even fought as far as Shenyang, can we still curse the Denglai New Army here..."

Duduo and Azig became quiet instantly. The purpose of fighting is to win, no matter what method is adopted. This is the truth and cannot be refuted.

After sighing heavily, Dorgon spoke again.

"This memorial by Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme also predicts that Denglai's new army is likely to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty from Liaodong. I have read it carefully and the analysis is reasonable. The Wu court has unified the south. They

After destroying Li Zicheng and the Dashun Army, destroying Zhang Xianzhong and the Daxi Army, destroying the Longwu Court, and surrendering the Zheng family, we are the only one left with the Qing Dynasty. I think Wu Zongrui, the emperor of the Wu Court, must have suppressed

I can't stop thinking about taking action against us..."

Duduo couldn't help it anymore and looked at Dorgon and spoke.

"Second brother, what do you think? Just give me your orders. I will do my best to lead the troops to fight against Denglai's new army. Don't worry, in the past few years of rest and recuperation, Xiangbaiqi has become extremely brave and can completely defeat Denglai's new army.

military..."

Dorgon nodded slightly.

"Third brother, please be patient. We, the Twenty-Four Banners of the Qing Dynasty, have gathered our strength and can be mobilized to fight at any time. There is no doubt about this. I came to you today mainly to analyze Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan's predictions.

Is it accurate? If the Denglai New Army takes the initiative to launch an attack, our response methods will be different. If the Denglai New Army does not launch an attack for the time being, and we take the initiative to launch an attack, the combat deployment will definitely be different..."

Duduo looked at Azig, thought for a moment and spoke.

"Second brother, I think we can use Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan's memorial to launch an active attack on Liaodong. There are not many Denglai New Army sergeants stationed in Liaodong. In the past two years, the Wu court has been busy unifying the south. A large number of

The sergeants have all been sent to the south. The south has just been pacified and they cannot deploy more troops to station in Liaodong. We take advantage of this gap to launch an attack on Liaodong and win the battle quickly. If we can capture Xiping Fort, Yizhou and Guangdong

With the three cities of Ningbo, we can get a lot of money, and the population of Liaodong has increased, and there is more food. If we cross the Liaohe River, we can not only get money, but also severely attack the arrogance of Denglai's new army..."

Dorgon pondered and did not speak immediately. In Duduo's words, he vaguely mentioned the pain point of the court, which was the serious lack of food and grass, including money. In recent years, the Eight Banners Army has not gone out to conquer, so money is naturally in short supply. The Mongolian tribes are also barren.

It was impossible to provide much help to the Qing Dynasty.

After a few minutes passed, Dorgon raised his head and looked at Azig.

"Brother, what do you think? Do you agree with what the third brother said?"

Azig was self-aware and waved to Dorgon repeatedly.

"Second brother, don't ask me to analyze the situation. I can't think of that much, but I will never be vague when leading troops in battle. As long as you give the order, I will definitely rush to the front..."

Dorgon looked at Azig and nodded, a rare affirmation.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts. Tomorrow's discussion will mainly focus on this matter. Then Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan will analyze the situation. You must calm down and listen to what they have to say. Do not reprimand or interrupt. I predict that many

Almost all the Manchu nobles will agree to conquer the new army in Denglai, Liaodong."
