When Duduo led the army with the white flag and set off from Shenyang, he was filled with too much anger. He originally thought that after leading the army to Tieling, he would immediately unite with the yellow flag and launch a strong attack on Zhenbeiguan, completely wiping out the troops stationed at Zhenbeiguan. Denglai New Army, but his combat plan was completely rejected by Dorgon. Dorgon asked him that the first thing he needed to do after arriving at Tieling was to establish a good relationship with Xianghuang Banner.

Among the Eight Manchu Banners, the most valuable one is the Xianghuang Banner. Although the Xianghuang Banner has the weakest combat effectiveness, no Manchu noble dares to underestimate the Xianghuang Banner, because the bannermen who go out with the Xianghuang Banner are either close associates of the emperor or It was officers who held real power in the army. The yellow flag held up by these people could influence the future of the Qing Dynasty.

The Denglai New Army occupied Zhenbeiguan, and Dorgon would not underestimate him. He had to make all preparations, and at least have a way to deal with the Denglai New Army at Zhenbeiguan, so he sent the powerful Xiangbai Banner there. Tieling.

What made Dorgon embarrassed was that the imperial court could not come up with so much money and food, and it was difficult to maintain the expenses of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. You must know that this battle will not be fought in the Central Plains or Mongolia. The Eight Banners Army is on the defensive. This is This means that the Eight Banners Army sergeants cannot rob any money and food. They need to raise part of the money and food expenses on weekdays themselves, and the court will pay part of it.

The court's serious lack of money and food has become Dorgon's biggest headache.

The Manchu nobles are still rich, including Dorgon himself. After years of conquests, they have accumulated a lot of wealth through robbery. However, it is impossible for the Manchu nobles to donate too much money. After all, Every Manchu nobleman has to support many people, and there are many places where money is needed.

Dorgon felt strongly that after Huang Taiji went to Hexi, the Manchu nobles seemed to be less united than before, and the internal power struggle became more and more cruel. And as time went by, this situation became worse in a short time. If it does not improve, and if it cannot be properly controlled, it may get worse in the future.

Duduo is one of the representative figures.

Duduo was Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty. He was the top man among the Manchu nobles. He directly controlled the Xiangbai Banner. He was Dorgon's younger brother. Because he was doted on by his father, Nurhaci, his temper and character were not very good, but Duduo Duo absolutely supported Dorgon, whether in terms of controlling power or supporting Dorgon as emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the Manchu nobles did not have very good views and impressions of Duduo. For example, they treated the Han minister Fan Wencheng. Fan Wencheng promoted his status to Xiangbaiqi and was Duduo's slave. Duduo ignored Huang Taiji's treatment of Fan Wencheng. Regardless of Fan Wencheng's contribution to the Qing Dynasty, he actually wanted to snatch Fan Wencheng's wife and make her his concubine. This undoubtedly chilled the hearts of the Han ministers in the DPRK. If Huang Taiji hadn't stopped it in time, this incident would have ended. It will cause Han and Chen to become disloyal on a large scale.

After the death of Huang Taiji, due to the issue of the successor to the throne, Duduo even went to the extent of fighting against the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner. This had an extremely bad impact on the Manchu nobles. You must know that the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner represented the emperor. and imperial power were inviolable and inviolable in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course Dorgon loved Duduo and hoped that Duduo's life would get better and better, but he also clearly realized that if he wanted the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty to be stable and gradually become rich and powerful, Duduo, Azig and others must have changed.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Dorgon asked Duduo to lead the Xiangbai Banner to Tieling, and asked him to find ways to improve the relationship with the Xianghuang Banner. It would be best to have a drink and chat with the main officers of the Xianghuang Banner to eliminate the confrontation.

Dorgon did not dare to have much extravagant hopes, and did not dare to expect that Duduo could win over the main officers with yellow flags.

Duduo actually understands Dorgon's painstaking efforts.

Duduo, who had seen the power game of the Manchu nobles and participated in it personally, was not stupid. When Dorgon pointed out that his first task when going to Tieling this time was not to conquer Denglai's new army in Zhenbeiguan, but to fight with Xiang Xiang.

When the main officers of Huang Ban established a good relationship, Duduo understood everything.

What makes Duduo feel uncomfortable is that Dorgon always uses the overall situation as an excuse to be indecisive towards certain Manchu nobles. For example, when dealing with Jierharang and overthrowing Hauge, he can completely treat Jierhalang

Take action, so even Daishan has nothing to say, and Dorgon also selectively ignored some hard-liners in the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner, causing these hard-liners to become more and more arrogant.

If it were Duduo, he would never be merciful when it was time to take action, and would definitely kill the other party, so that his own power could be more stable.

Duduo, who has been following his father Nurhachi in conquests since he was a child, believes more in iron-blooded tactics, because Nurhaci is the same way.

Duduo understood Dorgon's painstaking efforts, but he would not do what Dorgon wanted. He had already made up his mind.

This trip to Tieling is Duduo's chance to prove himself. Without Dorgon's restriction, Duduo can do things according to his own ideas.

Outside Shenyang City, Changting.

This place used to be a gathering place for scholars of the Ming Dynasty before or after the scientific examination. During the Wanli period, countless scholars drank and chatted here and lamented the impermanence of the world. However, after the Hou Jin Dynasty occupied Shenyang, such a situation never happened again.

The sergeants with white flags were marching. Duduo on horseback looked in the direction of the pavilion and spoke to the messenger beside him.

"I have something to do in Changting. The army continues to march..."

As the prancing horse headed towards the pavilion, a hint of gloom appeared on Duoduo's face.

The war horse stopped not far in front of the pavilion. Duduo dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers beside him.

When Duduo entered the pavilion, Azig also entered the pavilion.

On the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, there is a jar of wine, four exquisite dishes for drinking, and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

"Brother, you have been here a long time ago. I thought you would be late..."

Azig looked at Dodo and smiled.

"Third brother, you are going to Tieling soon. There are a lot of things to do. Congratulations. I barely slept last night. I was always thinking about the situation you have to deal with when you go to Tieling. It is not easy..."

Duduo waved to Azig with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Brother, why are you so annoying? When we were on the battlefield, all we thought about was killing the enemy. We didn't think about other things. At that time, we didn't even care about our lives. What's the matter with you inviting me here?

Just say it..."

Azig looked at Dodo and spoke expressionlessly.

"Well, third brother, the second brother did ask me to bring you some words. The situation is indeed different now. The second brother is now the regent. There are too many things to worry about, all of which are related to the big things of our Qing Dynasty.

We don’t need to think so much, we only think about our own things, and there is a difference here. Yesterday, the second brother was talking in the greenhouse, and you were obviously a little unconvinced. The second brother knew that you didn’t listen..."

An impatient look appeared on Dodo's face.

"Brother, why, do you think so too? Do you think I didn't listen to what the second brother said, and you still want to repeat it again? If you think like this, then we don't have to say anything.

.”

Azig waved his hand to Dodo, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Third brother, I know your temper. I won't say those words. The second brother asked me to tell you those words just now. Besides, you can't even listen to what the second brother says, let alone me.

, I am here today just to see you off. I still want to say a few words. If you like to hear it, just listen. If you don’t like to hear it, just pretend that I didn’t say anything..."

In fact, Azig also had a hot temper, and all the Manchu nobles knew this.

Hearing Azig say this, Dodo's attitude changed somewhat. He looked at Azig and nodded.

"Brother, I like to hear what you say. Just say whatever you want and I'm listening."

Azig snorted coldly.

"Third brother, you went to Tieling. I know what you want to do. You and I have many similar personalities, but I think you should not always think about fighting. What you are facing is a person with a yellow flag.

Brother, you are not a sergeant of the Denglai New Army, nor a sergeant of the Ming Army. If you always want to fight and kill, and if you are not satisfied at all, you have to take action. If something happens, let your second brother clean up the situation. Sometimes, we

We still need to learn from my second brother and use my brain more..."

Duduo's eyes widened, he was slightly stunned, and then he looked at Azig and spoke.

"Brother, since you mentioned this matter, let me ask you, if Sony and the others don't cooperate, what do you think I should do? Do I have to kneel down and beg him..."

Azig looked at Dodo and shook his head mockingly.

"Third brother, if I could give you some advice, would I still be what I am now? Like you, I am also a prince of the Qing Dynasty. I just want to remind you to use your brain when doing things.

As long as the second brother is the regent, we don't have to worry too much. If Hauge had become the emperor, would you and I still be able to stand here and talk..."

Duduo couldn't help but nodded.

"Brother, I understand what you mean, but I am not as indecisive as my second brother when doing things..."

Azig waved to Dodo.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. I'm tired of talking about it. In fact, I also want to go to Tieling with you, but my second brother won't agree. If it were me, when we get to Tieling, I can't wait to deal with Sony and the others immediately. This

A jar of wine is the farewell wine I prepared for you, the best daughter’s red wine I have collected at home..."

A smile finally appeared on Dodo's face.

"Brother, you better understand me. I will definitely drink this jar of wine. If I can't finish it, I will take it to Tieling to drink. I also want to treat Sony and Obai to have a good drink..."
