Prince Rui's residence, wing room.

Stepping into the side room and seeing Duduo already waiting, Azig couldn't help but speak.

"Third brother, you were here a long time ago. Humph, Denglai's new army was looking for death and actually crossed the Liao River directly..."

Duduo looked at Azig but did not speak.

Outside the mansion, many Manchu dignitaries were still waiting. Prince Regent Dorgon had just gone to the Dazheng Palace and had sent people to bring some words. He would return to the mansion soon.

Prince Rui's residence has become the most prominent and lively place in the Qing Dynasty. Its influence even exceeds that of the Dazheng Palace. There is an endless stream of Manchu dignitaries who come to visit every day. Everyone knows that the government is completely controlled by the regent.

If you can get the favor of the regent, you will definitely have a rapid rise and get too many benefits.

The situation is the same today. Many Manchu dignitaries came to see Dorgon, hoping to receive praise or favor.

Not many people knew about the news that Denglai's new army crossed the Liao River and launched an offensive. That is to say, a few princes and princes of the Qing Dynasty knew about it. This news was tightly blocked by Dorgon and was not allowed to leak out to avoid premature triggering.

Shock.

When Dorgon's sedan appeared in front of the mansion, the Manchu nobles waiting outside consciously moved out of the way. Dorgon did not get down, and everyone watched helplessly as the sedan was carried directly into the mansion.

Dorgon got off the sedan with no expression on his face and walked straight towards the side room.

The butler saw this situation and did not follow him. He knew that the master had important matters to discuss. Prince Duduo of Yu and Prince Azig of Wuying County were already waiting in the wing. The next thing the butler should do was to deal with the people outside the mansion.

Seeing Dorgon entering the wing, Dodo and Azig all stood up.

"You are all here. You all know the news about Denglai's new army crossing the Liao River. Fan Wencheng just went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Ning Wan and I are quite stubborn and don't want to write anything..."

Azig had a look of anger and disdain on his face.

"Humph, second brother, leave this matter to me and I will definitely handle it. Ning Wan, an old boy like me, isn't that stubborn? I killed his family members one by one in front of him to see if he is still that stubborn.

..”

Dorgon turned to look at Azig and waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't think about Ning Wan. Denglai's new army crossed the Liao River. This shows that Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan's analysis is correct. I just got the report that all the mutual trades in Xipingbao, Yizhou and Guangning are

Everything has stopped. We can't buy food or supplies. This time, the Denglai New Army is ready for everything..."

Speaking of this, Dorgon looked at Duduo and Azig. When Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo went to the memorial, they predicted that the Denglai New Army would take the initiative to launch an attack. When they discussed this matter, they talked about the issue of mutual trading.

, as well as the matter of purchasing large amounts of grain from the mutual market, but both Dodo and Azig thought it was unnecessary. They did not believe that Denglai's new army dared to cross the Liao River to fight.

Duduo and Azig made mistakes in their judgment, and Dorgon could not reprimand them. After all, it was he who made the final decision.

For Dorgon and all the Manchu nobles, the real heavy blow came from the Royal Bank of the Wu Dynasty. Most of the merchants in the Qing Dynasty deposited their money in the Royal Bank, and many Manchu nobles also

Merchants were entrusted to deposit money into the Royal Bank. Now the Wu court took the initiative to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty and froze the money in the bank. The money deposited in the Royal Bank will definitely not be withdrawn.

This was a bit fatal to Dorgon. Fighting a war requires a large amount of money. The soldiers and horses should go ahead before food and grass are used. This is a truth that everyone understands. The Qing treasury did not have much money and could not cope with the upcoming war.

Perhaps at a critical moment, many Manchu nobles must come up with money and food.

There are ways to do this. Some money was deposited in the Royal Bank in the name of Han merchants, and these Han merchants had business dealings with merchants from the Qing Dynasty. It was impossible to fall out until it was a life-and-death moment, so these Han merchants were still

Money can be withdrawn from the bank, but it will definitely be difficult to withdraw a large amount of money from the Royal Bank in a short period of time, and it will also arouse the vigilance of the Wu court.

The silence lasted for less than a minute, and Dodo clasped his fists at Dorgon.

"Second brother, when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. The Eight Banners Army has been prepared for a long time. I am willing to lead the soldiers with white flags to meet the enemy. I will definitely defeat Denglai's new army..."

Dorgon sighed softly and waved his hand to stop Azig who was about to follow him.

"You don't need to think too much about this matter. I plan to let Prince Zheng Jierhalang command the Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaoyang and Anshan to fight against Denglai's new army. Jierhalang will be cautious and let him lead the battle.

We don't need to worry too much..."

Dorgon had just finished speaking, and Azig, who had been anxious to speak, couldn't help it anymore.

"Second brother, how can you let Jierharang lead the troops in battle? Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner are all stationed in Liaoyang and Anshan. Twelve banners, nearly 200,000 sergeants, Jier

Harang has always supported Hauge. If he has any ideas, or even leads troops back to Shenyang, how should we deal with it? With such a large number of troops, we cannot allow outsiders to lead troops. Second brother, we cannot risk this.

risk..."

Duduo nodded slightly and agreed with Azig's view.

Dorgon was able to control the power of the Qing Dynasty. Duduo and Azig gave the greatest help. They were brothers. In the eyes of other Manchu nobles, they were the most determined group. In many cases, they used unusual methods.

, pay more for those threatening Manchu nobles, among whom Hauge and Jierhalang are their biggest opponents, so if something big happens, Duduo and Azig will definitely be worried, worried that some Manchu nobles will take advantage of the situation

Make a fuss, even rebel.

Dorgon's face darkened.

"Brother, third brother, if you all have such thoughts, then our country, the Qing Dynasty, will be in danger..."

"Denglai's new army took the initiative to launch an attack. They must have made all preparations. They did not stop just thinking about capturing one or two cities. The target must be Shenyang, or even the entire north. In this way, our Qing Dynasty fell into a huge

In the midst of danger, at this time, can we, relying solely on our brothers, be able to turn the tide and resist Denglai's new army? If we no longer trust many princes, kings, Baile and Beizi, then what else can we do?

.”

"Don't you know what kind of person Jierhalang is? Although Jierhalang has opinions about our brothers, has not expressed support for us, and is resentful, he is absolutely loyal to the Qing Dynasty..."

Duduo looked at Dorgon who didn't look very good, hesitated and spoke.

"Second brother, what the eldest brother said makes sense. We still have to be just in case. We have no objection to you letting Jilharang lead the army. However, we also need to place some officers beside Jilharang to let Jilharang lead the troops."

Lang can't do whatever he wants..."

Dorgon sighed heavily.

As the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon's vision is still different. Compared with Duduo and Azig, he sees more profoundly. Otherwise, he would not have tried every means to win over most of the Manchu nobles in these years.

He also paid great attention to the Mongolian tribes, including the dignitaries of the Mongolian tribes, and often sent envoys to the Mongolian tribes to send money and condolences.

Dorgon's purpose of letting Ning Wan and I take the blame was to arouse the fighting spirit of the Manchus. When the Qing Dynasty encountered a disaster, only when all the Manchus united and dealt with the outside world could they avoid the disaster and win the final victory.

.

"Brother, do you think so too..."

Dorgon's expression has turned serious.

Azig didn't care and nodded vigorously.

"Second brother, I think what third brother said makes sense. It's not a big deal for us to send a few close officers to Jierhalang's side. Jierhalang has nothing to say..."

"Bang..."

Dorgon's fist landed heavily on the table, causing the entire table to shake.

Azig and Dodo looked at Dorgon, whose face was filled with dark clouds, and were temporarily silent.

"Who do you think Ji'erharang is, a three-year-old child? Like me, he is the regent of the Qing Dynasty. He took the initiative to give in to avoid shocks in the Qing Dynasty. If there is a direct relationship between him and me,

Conflict, even if I win, the Qing Dynasty may fall apart. Don’t you understand such a simple truth? Do you think Jierhalang is really timid and afraid of trouble? If you think so, you are totally wrong.

..."

"If we place a few spies around Jierhalang, Jierhalang can find a reason to kill them at any time. How will we deal with it then? Is it possible that we deal with Jierhalang directly..."

"One thing you must understand is that we let Jierhalang lead the troops in the battle. All the ministers in the DPRK can see that this responsibility rests on Jierhalang. He dare not neglect it and will do his best. Those and

We have nothing to say to the powerful people we don’t deal with..."

Dorgon's angry words really touched Duduo and Azig. In fact, it was not that they didn't understand the truth, but they were just instinctively worried. They instinctively thought that Jierhalang could not lead the army.

There is a deeper meaning in this, which Dorgon will not say, and neither Dodo nor Azig will mention it.

...

Finally, Dorgon stood up, looked at Dodo and Azig and spoke.

"An hour later, we will discuss this matter in the Dazheng Palace. I don't want you to say unpleasant words. At this critical moment, everyone in the Qing Dynasty must unite as one, so that we can win the battle..."

"Regarding the deployment of the overall battle, I think it has been decided. Duduo, the task of guarding the capital will be left to you. No matter what the situation is in Liaoyang, you must always pay attention to it and not be careless in the slightest. Guarding the capital
