Dorgon looked at him with a look of eyes and stood there with a gray face. Suksaha knew that something was wrong when he saw Dorgon's expression. He was about to ask what was going on in Jiangning, but he didn't know that Dorgon suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

The military newspaper covered with Dorgon's blood floated to the ground, saying: My subordinate Hong Chengchou cried and reported that I led 120,000 Jiangning Man and Han troops. On October 25, on the 25th, I fought with 300,000 Guangdong Ming troops outside Jiangning City for days. Just as I was about to win, the rebel Li Chengdong led 100,000 cavalry to appear behind the army formation of his subordinates. The subordinates were caught off guard by both sides, and the entire army was destroyed. Jiangning City was also captured by the Ming army. My subordinates should have committed suicide and repaid their kindness, but there were still tens of thousands of troops following the ministers to retreat to Yangzhou. After the resettlement, I went to Beijing to die!

Dorgon was scared by vomiting blood and falling into a coma. His entire wealth was now on Dorgon. Now Dorgon doesn’t know what to do if he lives or dies?

Dorgon had a problem with tuberculosis, and the climate was not adaptable after entering the pass. In addition, he had just returned from the expedition of the Laoshi in Shanxi, Hong Chengchou's military newspaper was undoubtedly the last straw.

Several concubines from Prince Rui's mansion knew that their prince fainted, so they rushed over to visit him. For a moment, you cried and I shouted and made a fuss.

After finally clattering and pounding, Dorgon woke him up. Dorgon's face was like yellow wax, and he looked short-lived at first glance.

Dorgon cried here regardless of his wife's elders, and pulled Suksaha and said, "Go and order the nine gate admiral Tokchi to block the nine gates. No one can enter and exit the nine gates without my order!" (The nine gate admiral was established in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, and there is no one yet.)

Suksaha was shocked when he heard Dorgon say this. Does the Regent want to take action?

"Prince, did you think of taking action in the opposite palace? The time is wrong!"

Dorgon shook his head. Suksaha's position was too low and he didn't know his predicament. Now that Jiangxi and Nanzhili have been lost, the war in Shanxi is not going smoothly. His two white flags have suffered heavy losses. He still has the ability to usurp the throne. His actions are just to protect himself.

Dorgon thought for a while and said, "You go and do something first, kill Haoge in the prison, and say he committed suicide!"

Haoge has always been a powerful competitor of Dorgon. When Haoge went on an expedition to Sichuan, he was imprisoned by Dorgon after he came back. In the past, Dorgon could use his military achievements to suppress him, but now he was defeated by himself, Dorgon could no longer suppress Haoge, so he had to take his life first.

When Dorgon saw Suksaha going out to do business, he drove away his wife from the house and fell into deep thought. Now his army was defeated, and his most powerful brother Duoduo was still dead on the battlefield. Tan Tai didn't know that he needed a victory now, but what should he do if he had no such a worry general. Could it be that he could use his brother Ajige? Ajige is a candidate who can fight, but Ajige is too ambitious and he is really worried to hand over more than 100,000 troops to him.

In the next few days, the whole of Beijing was in panic. Everyone thought that when Dorgon was going to usurp the throne, Dorgon entered the palace and had a long chat with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. As for what his uncle and sister-in-law had discussed, everyone was not sure about it. However, the next day, the court issued an edict in the name of the emperor, and named Prince Rui Dorgon the regent of the emperor's father.

Originally, Dorgon was the emperor's uncle, the regent and the second uncle of the emperor. Now he has become the emperor's father. With one step closer to power, he is almost deposed and proclaimed himself emperor.

After becoming the regent of the emperor's father, Dorgon "used the ceremonial guards, music and the people who followed the guards all used to imitate the supreme", which means that Dorgon not only had real power, but also began to follow the emperor in the etiquette and pomp. Dorgon no longer made a humble request for instructions in all government affairs, and did not obey the emperor's will, but he would all give the imperial edict, just like the emperor. He also appointed people as nepotism and arbitrarily dismissed and promoted officials. In particular, "the kings, Beile, Beizi, and Gong did not allow them to come to the court to do business, and they regarded themselves as the court", and ordered the above-mentioned people to wait in front of their palace every day.

In March of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Dorgon used the Shunzhi Emperor's secret talisman to store it in the palace. Every time he dispatched troops, he had to apply for seals, which was very inconvenient. So he sent someone to move the emperor's seal to his mansion to collect and reserve it for later use. From that year on, the types of ceremonial guards used by Dorgon were the same as those used by the emperor.

At the same time, the emperor's hard-core confidant Prince Zheng, Jirhalang, and others were in trouble. Beizi Tunqi, Shangshan, Tunqikha and others falsely accused Jirhalang at Dorgon's instructions, saying that when Emperor Taizong was first mourning, Jirhalang did not issue the ministers of the two yellow flags to establish Prince Su Haoge, and his entourages entered the pass, and ordered the two blue flags to set up camps forward without authorization. They discussed the crime and were killed, so the prison was launched. The ministers Eyidu, Fei Yingdong, and Yangguli were all implicated. Jirhalang was demoted to the prince of Duoluo.

Just as Dorgon in the north robbed his troop to seize power, the Yongli regime of the small court in the south also learned about the news that Zhu Hongsan occupied Nanjing.

Zhu Hongsan's edict was passed to Guilin, Guangxi on the tenth day of December. Zhu Youlang only realized that the gangster in his mouth, the shameless villain Zhu Hongsan, had actually entered Nanjing by himself and worshiped Xiaoling, which was angering Zhu Youlang, who was a good-tempered person.

Zhu Youlang knew the impact of worshiping Xiaoling Mausoleum on him. The righteousness he had occupied was now completely suppressed by Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Youlang looked at Zhu Hongsan's letter to him, and said it was very humble and said one by one. However, the condition was to ask Zhu Youlang to give up the throne as King Gui and go to Nanjing to offer sacrifices.

Although Zhu Youlang was not very knowledgeable, he also knew that the emperor who gave up the throne had only one way to die, so what is the saying of offering?

Zhu Youlang threw Zhu Hongsan's edict to the ground and cursed angrily: "This child thought he would be forgetful of taking advantage of the emptiness of the Qing Dynasty to seize Nanjing! He dared to let me abdicate! What do you think he should do?"

The chief assistant Ding Kuichu knew that the emperor was angry on the surface, but in fact he was afraid that he would wait for the civil servants to abandon him. This is the key.

Ding Kuichu quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that Zhu Hongsan is a gangster in the market and has a unclear background. Maybe he heard about some things about Chu Fan in Wuchang. He could only deceive Chen Zizhuang and others to support him when he fled to Guangdong. Now this guy took advantage of Li Chengdong's time to seize Nanjing anyway. Although it caused a sensation in the world, your Majesty rested on his throne and decided to set his throne long ago, and this world is still the world of Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youlang was happy when he heard Ding Kuichu say this. It was false to be angry. After all, he knew his strength and had no hope of seizing Nanjing at all. However, Zhu Hongsan's threat to his throne was true. Regardless of whether Zhu Hongsan's identity was true, it was true that he could worship Xiaoling and worship Xiaoling as a genuine emperor. It would be embarrassing that he could not worship Xiaoling. If Zhu Hongsan used his reputation as a worshiper of Xiaoling and his literati to attack his subordinates, wouldn't he be alone?

Zhu Youlang now heard Ding Kuichu explain the legitimacy of his throne, and asked with a smile: "The Chief Minister is very serious, what should we do next?"

Ding Kuichu did not answer the emperor's question, but continued: "Your Majesty, although Your Majesty's throne has been set aside, there are still people in the court who secretly communicate with Guangdong!"

The cabinet ministers Lu Daqi and Qu Shiqiu were shocked. Ding Kuichu was so cruel that he could hold any kind of shit on his head.

Lu Daqi quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we also think that Zhu Hongsan is inappropriate in his throne. How can such a person inherit the throne? Although Zhu Hongsan took advantage of the empty opportunity of Man Qing Dynasty to occupy Nanjing, I promise that His Majesty will definitely restore the Ming Dynasty in the end!"

When Zhu Youlang heard that Lu Daqi and others expressed his loyalty, he didn't want Ding Kuichu's family to be the dominant one. He said to Ding Kuichu: "Prime Minister, I believe in Lord Lu, Lord Qu's loyalty. Don't talk about this matter anymore. Now let's talk about what to do next?"

The military forces of the Yongli court in Guangxi are now divided into two parts. One part is the more than 400,000 troops under the command of He Tengjiao, the general of Huguang. They occupied Huguang, in addition to the large area of ​​Wuchang Prefecture, and several prefectures near Sichuan. Another military group is that it occupies part of the former Daxi Army in Yunnan and Guizhou, Guangxi, and the Daxi Army now has more than 200,000. However, after the Daxi Army surrendered to Yongli, there were differentiation in the army. Sun Kewang was comparable to Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi. Although Sun Kewang was promoted to the leader of the alliance after entering Yunnan, he could not compare with Zhang Xianzhong. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu held heavy troops and each regarded himself as the "Western Palace" and "Southern Palace" master. It was not only Sun Kewang's orders were followed. Many historical records record that Sun Kewang used the flag-raising incident in the martial arts field to press Li Dingguo to the ground and beat a board to establish and improve his leadership position in the entire army.

In fact, what Yongli should do most now is to fight for Sichuan. Sichuan was originally Zhang Xianzhong's world. Officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty were either killed or driven to the eastern part of Sichuan, and there was no threat at all. However, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated step by step under the attack of Haoge, the Prince of Su of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, Zhang Xianzhong died in the army. The remnants of the Daxi Army retreated to Yunnan and Guizhou under the leadership of Zhang Xianzhong's four godsons. At this time, due to the power struggle within the Qing Dynasty, Haoge was transferred back to Beijing and died under Dorgon the next year. At this time, Sichuan formed a power vacuum, which was a good opportunity for the generals of the Ming Dynasty to recover lost territory.

Since the Hongguang period, the Southern Ming Dynasty had appointed former Grand Secretary Wang Yingxiong as the governor of the army, Fan Yiheng as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Ma Qian as the governor of Sichuan. In the first year of Yongli, Wang Yingxiong died of illness and Ma Qian was killed by the Qing army. Emperor Yongli appointed former Pianyuan Governor Li Qiande as the governor of Northeast Sichuan and was soon promoted to the governor. He also sent the royal family Zhu Rongfan to the military affairs, Yang Qiaoran and Jiang Erwen as the governor. "Everyone was appointed by each of them, and more officials than the people." Fan Yiheng saw that the ten sheep and nine herds were scattered, and his power was scattered, and he submitted a memorial to discuss the harm. The Yongli court not only ignored it, but also promoted Yang Qiaoran to the governor, appointing the military supervisor Zhan Tianyan as the governor of North Sichuan, and another

The military supervisor Fan Wenguang was the governor of southern Sichuan. The former governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi Fan Yiheng "exercised no restraint, but only protected Xuzhou and a county." At the same time, the Yongli court followed the sponsors of the appointed governors and the governors and promoted the titles of warlords of all sizes. This stupid practice of blindly buying people's hearts with official titles further exacerbated the separatist and infighting of Sichuan warlords. On the other hand, when the Qing Dynasty led the army back to Beijing, only one general was appointed (firstly Wang Zuntan and then Li Guoying) as the governor of Sichuan. Although his troops were far inferior to the "heroes" of Sichuan and Guizhou in the South Ming Dynasty, he always defended the northern Sichuan region centered on Baoning because of the unity of power.

The warlords of Sichuan and Guizhou in the South Ming Dynasty were already in power, and the court appointed governors, governors and other officials. What followed was mutual struggle for power and profit. The great cause of anti-Qing was put aside, and civil officials and generals were keen on fighting a civil war. In the second year of Yongli, Yang Zhan attacked and killed Ma and was defeated by Wang Xiang; the battle between Wang Xiang and Pi Xiong; Yuan Tao and Wu Dading killed Yang Zhan and captured Jiading; Li Zhanchun and others attacked Zhu Rongfan.
