481 The Dream of the Qing Dynasty
Chen Hongfan suddenly felt that he was wrong this trip. With such strength, how could he take Nanming, which was messy and scattered in the sand, into consideration. Nanming sounded like it occupied most of the land in the Central Plains, including the richest places in the Central Plains, and more than one million soldiers, but this was just a powerful man on paper.⊥
No matter how many sheep there are, they will not pose a threat to the wolf.
Nanming looked very powerful, but after gaining a foothold, Jun only cared about enjoyment. He thought about eating, drinking and having fun every day. He voted for women. In order to prepare traditional Chinese medicine in the room, Zhu Yousong even ordered beggars to catch toads for him. Because toads mostly appear at night, they needed to catch them with lanterns. So there were big words "Catching toads by orders" written on the lanterns, and people called him the emperor of toads.
The kings and talents of the Ming Dynasty really emerged. After the "weaving" emperor Zhu Zhanji, the Zhu family produced another toad emperor Zhu Yousong. With such descendants, Comrade Zhu Chongba who had built a country would have a look of his own.
The king is concerned about enjoyment, and the minister is concerned about fighting for power and profit. The battle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party has been fermenting. The court quarreled, and local generals fought each other for the sake of interests. Corruption became a trend in the officialdom, and buying and selling officials were prevalent. The entire Nanming exuded a corruption and falling atmosphere. A folk song could reflect its darkness:
It is better to recommend bows and arrows privately. How can talents be compared to money? The two departments of officials and soldiers have signs, and civil and military officials betray them;
The four towns did not hold troops, and the eastern slaves and western enemy attacked Qi, and the Xuchuan Pavilion troops crossed the Yangtze River and Huai River, and the emperor was drunk.
In fact, until the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there was no large-scale action to recover lost territory, and its decay can be seen from it.
How can such an imperial court be convinced? No wonder the Sichuan Governor abandoned the imperial edict as if it were a mustard. Chen Hongfan was a smart man. After a little thought, he immediately understood the intention of the Sichuan Governor to bring him: deliberately establishing authority is just to let himself see the strength of Sichuan and make a choice from it.
If there was no trace of his eyes, Chen Hongfan could not be the envoy of the imperial edict, so after Lu Haoshan entered the city, he found an opportunity to express his feelings to Lu Haoshan. Lu Haoshan would naturally not refuse. Not to mention anything else, the general of Nanchang Guard also had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. If he nodded, he would have 20,000 more soldiers and horses. This is a good thing. Chen Hongfan is still popular among military generals, and his friendship with several generals of the Nanming has always been very good. Without Lu Haoshan's question, the general of Nanchang Guard has already talked about his resources and plans.
It turns out that smart people are always very happy to communicate with smart people. Lu Haoshan and Chen Hongfan plotted in the study of Xi'an Government for more than an hour. When they went out, they both showed a look of satisfaction on their faces. However, in Qian Baitong's words, their smile was a colluding smile.
Of course, he only dares to say this in private.
When the two armies fought, the political situation was a sway. Wujiawan changed drastically overnight, and most of the Qing Dynasty's elite lost. The Sichuan army turned defense and attacked and continued to recover lost territory. The generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty waited for an opportunity to follow and found a bargain. At the beginning, the strongest Qing Dynasty was already in chaos.
There was no one available to him. The former Han Eight Banners wanted to use but dared not use them. Or they dared not reuse them. The news of the failure of the front line and the continuous attacks of the tribe members kept coming, which made the nobles of the Qing Dynasty exhausted and suffered physically and mentally. What made the Qing Dynasty's high-level officials most excited was that the mentality of the Qing Dynasty soldiers changed, and the once brave soldiers turned into a coward who feared war.
In Beijing, the palace, and the imperial study room, there was no other sound except the sound of a child sleeping. A child in a yellow robe was sleeping. His little face was chubby, like a delicate pecking, and looked very cute. When he was sleeping, he slept soundly.
Sleeping in the imperial study in a yellow robe is a privilege that the emperor has. Yes, this child is Shunzhi, who was pushed to the throne. For a child, reading is a headache, and playing is his nature. Shunzhi does not like imperial study, but he has to come because the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty were only holding a meeting that was related to the fate of the entire Qing Dynasty.
The quiet imperial study room did not mean that Shunzhi was the only one, but the other important officials who attended the meeting did not speak, and they were silent. Shunzhi could not stand it and did not dare to walk away, so he fell asleep on the wide imperial chair.
Those who participated in this high-level meeting were Prince Heshan, Prince Su Haoge, Bele Abatai, Minister Yangguli, Minister of Political Consultative Affairs, and the second son of Daishan Shuotou, etc. These were senior officials of the Qing Dynasty and were also the most powerful figures.
These people were the most powerful after Dorgon and Ajige fell.
"Oh..." Dai Shan sighed, and then said helplessly: "Okay, don't be silent, everyone, tell me what to do."
This is a matter of the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. Any decision may lead to difficult predictions. No one dares to express his opinions easily. Seeing that sitting down is not a solution, as the convener, Dai Shan had to urge everyone to express his opinions again.
Abatai waved his big fist and said gritting his teeth: "What else can I say? If we fight with them, our Manchu Iron Cavalry is still afraid that those Sichuan dogs will not succeed?"
"Work, who doesn't want to fight, but what are we going to fight now?" Prince Su Haoge frowned and said, "Seventh brother, I know that you are very sad to lose your son. In fact, I am also optimistic about Yue Le, but compared with the past, I really can't get anyone out of the Qing Dynasty."
When the Qing soldiers entered the pass, all males under the age of twelve years old and under the age of 70 were summoned. From this we can see that the Qing Dynasty had insufficient population. It was less than three years since the entry into the pass. Where could the Qing Dynasty draw out the strong men who fought? Most of the Wujiawan battle was lost, and many casualties were killed and killed during the escape. In addition, the negative effects of killing the Qing order and atonement, the population of the Qing clan has been shrinking.
Frequently, the number of people is afraid of long-term plans, and every day is attacked and killed. Recently, the statistics are scary. Almost one-tenth of the people died from the order of killing the Qing Dynasty and the order of atonement. Whenever I think of this, a group of high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty wanted to peel the Sichuan Governor Lu Wenhua.
Minister of State Representative Lausa also smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh Prince, if you recruit troops again, I am afraid that the woman will ride a horse to fight."
Shuotuo said angrily: "It's all the orders of atonement, so many people dare not use it. That Lu Wenhua is simply annoying and specializes in these evil ways."
"It's a pity that even we can't beat him even if we have a clear sword and a spear." As Haoge spoke, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
In the battle of Wujiawan and Hanzhong, the majesty and psychological advantages that the Qing Dynasty had finally accumulated were completely dispersed. The fall of famous Qing generals such as Dorgon, Ajige, Duoduo, and Yue Le greatly affected the morale of the Qing Dynasty. Once great worship collapsed, it would also cause great loss and setbacks, and then there was still lack of confidence.
Dai Shan said unhurriedly: "Why are you just saying these words that increase others' ambitions and destroy your own might? My Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the time to despair."
"Hehe" Abatai laughed and said, "Brother, you can't say this."
"Lao Qi, what do you mean?" Dai Shan's tone immediately became unkind when he saw that his authority was provoked.
Abatai sneered: "The emperor asked Fan Yongdou for help, mixed the young princes in the team, and then put a batch of gold, silver and wealth into the goods and took them out of the customs. You are doing this very strictly, but there is an old saying in the Central Plains that if you want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself, it's really easy to plan. You'll be paving the way out so quickly."
Is this a matter?
Everyone stared at Dai Shan all of a sudden, and no one expected that he would pave the way for him early, and there was a strange light in many people's eyes.
When the old man was revealed, Dai Shan's face turned red, but he quickly reacted and admitted it simply: "Yes, the situation is not very optimistic now. I did this to preserve my bloodline for the nobles of the Qing Dynasty. Is there any crime?"
Haoge's old face thrust, looked at the people present, and then said with a heavy face: "Okay, we are all our own people, so we will no longer beat around the bush and go straight to the point. We have to admit that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated and was defeated in a mess. Now we have no available soldiers in our hands and no available people around us. If we don't act, the day of extermination will not be far away."
After saying that, Haoge felt ache in his heart, but he quickly said: "Fortunately, the Eight Banners of Mongolia are still useful, and we have been blocking the news. There are still many Eight Banners of Han who are not aware of it. People say that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. After we enter the Central Plains, the most important thing we lack is these dead objects. It is time to take them out and use them. Let's start to express our opinions now and agree to withdraw from the outside of the pass."
Seeing Haug being the first to raise his hand, Abatai asked in a deep voice: "Where can we retreat?"
"I don't know, let go out of the pass first, find a secluded place to rest and take a walk."
Abatai was speechless when he heard this, silently raised his right hand.
Haoge and Abatai raised their hands, and then Daishan, Rausa, Shuotou and others raised their hands one by one, and they passed the vote unanimously.
Although the flower world is good, you have to have the ability to enjoy it. Everyone present is very sober and all are loyal to their own ideas. In fact, the Qing Dynasty no longer has a chance of winning.
"Okay, unanimous votes passed," Haoge said with a firm look: "Next, let's discuss how to retreat and escort our people out of the customs as much as possible. I suggest sending the children out first, they are the future of our Qing Dynasty."
Everyone agreed little by little, and Abatai, who was straightforward, couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "It's all the 14th brother. It would be great if we made a fortune. Now we are enjoying great wealth outside the pass. Well, Emperor Hongguang sent someone to form an alliance, and we should have formed a relationship. If they share the responsibility, I will not end up today."
After hearing Abatai's words, everyone was silent for a moment and opened their mouths. In the end, no one said anything, because they didn't know how to evaluate it, because Dorogon had finished his dream that no one dared to think of, and now he has also died in battle, so it's not appropriate to say these things.
Entering the Central Plains and rule the world, what a wonderful dream, but unfortunately, the dream is shattered at this moment. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
