The 321st chapter calm Dorgon (1)

(There were too many things some time ago, and I stopped updating for a few days. I'm sorry to the readers. There were indeed a lot of things at the end of the year. I couldn't come back from busyness. I insisted on updating every day and apologized to the readers again.)

Duoduo, who returned to the capital, did not go to see Dorgon immediately, but returned to his mansion directly.

Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, only Duoduo dared to do this. When facing Huang Taiji, Duoduo was too arrogant and did not hide his nature. He was ruthlessly suppressed and almost was imprisoned. Fortunately, Duoduo judged the situation, took the initiative to soften his attitude, showed weakness to Huang Taiji, and thus retained his own position.

When facing Dorgon, Duoduo had a different attitude. After all, Dorgon was his brother, and Duoduo made great contributions to being the only regent in the Qing Dynasty who controlled power. Under such circumstances, Duoduo was even more arrogant, or showed his nature without reservation.

Ajige went to Dodo's mansion and persuaded him, and Dodo agreed to go to see Dorgon.

As for what Ajig said, no one knows. You should know that Ajig's temper is also a bit irritable.

Forbidden City, Wuying Hall, and warm-up room.

When entering the greenhouse, Duoduo's steps were heavy, as if he was demonstrating, or as if he was venting his anger. Ajig next to him also had a slightly angry expression on his face.

Dorgon sat upright in the warm room, his face looking extremely calm.

When he entered the greenhouse, Dodo even ignored the palace guards who were still in the greenhouse and pointed at Dorgon and spoke loudly.

"Second brother, what do you mean? I'm about to capture Luoyang Prefecture City and I can kill Li Zicheng soon. If you ask me to withdraw my troops, what's the point? What's the point of dying a Haoge..."

Azig quickly pulled Dodo's sleeves hard on the side and stopped Dodo from continuing. Dorgon, who was sitting upright in the head, had a cold look burst out from his eyes.

The palace guards in the greenhouse hurriedly left and closed the door of the greenhouse.

Seeing the guards exit the greenhouse, Azig quickly spoke.

"Third brother, be careful when speaking. No matter what, Haoge is a brave general in my Qing Dynasty. His status is no lower than you. In the past, if you say such words in the court, it would be a death sentence."

Before the angry Dodo spoke again, Azig continued to speak.

"Second brother, third brother is also anxious, so he said such words. No matter what, Haoge is dead and the situation is irreversible. I led my troops to capture Taiyuan Prefecture City, and was about to pursue Li Guo and Chen Yongfu, and they were all caught. As a result, your order came, I had to withdraw my troops and let Li Guo and Chen Yongfu escape. The third brother was about to capture Luoyang Prefecture City, and was about to kill Li Zicheng, but he was forced to withdraw his troops. We knew that Jingzhou was in a fall and threatened the capital. We also knew that the capital was in short supply. However, the Ming army had no plans to attack the capital. They had already withdrawn their troops, why should we come back?"

Ajige's tone was much calmer, but every word he said was heart-wrenching and made people difficult to answer.

As Jig had just finished speaking, Dodo spoke again.

"What my brother said is that since the Ming army does not intend to attack the capital, we must completely defeat Li Zicheng, destroy Li Zicheng, and stabilize the situation in the north, so that we can attack the Ming army with confidence..."

Faced with the anger and questioning of Dodo and Ajige, Dorgon was still very calm and he spoke calmly.

"Okay, according to your words, you can be assured and boldly led your troops to attack Taiyuan Prefecture City and Luoyang Prefecture City, and even join forces to attack Shaanxi, capture Xi'an Prefecture City, and completely stabilize the situation in the north. At that time, you will make great contributions and become one of the top contributors in the Qing Dynasty."

Duoduo, who was still a little angry, thought to continue speaking, but was stopped by Ajige.

Ajige, who was older, was relatively calm when facing Dorgon and Dodo.

"Second brother, what do you mean? We have made military achievements outside. You have also made contributions. Your contribution is greater than us. We do not mean to take credit alone. You are the Regent. Sending the army is the decision you made. It is also the decision you made to completely wipe out Li Zicheng. The final contribution is yours. What else do you want to do?"

There was already anger in Ajig's words, which was a sign of danger.

Dorgon smiled coldly and then spoke.

"There are a few things you don't know yet. I'll tell you now and see how you think I'm going to deal with them."

Ajige and Dodor were both stunned. When they looked at Dorgon, they had a look of confusion in their eyes.

Dorgon stood up and walked a few steps in the greenhouse. When he stopped, his eyes had become sharp.

"The first thing is that the letter written by Ye Chen before his death fell into Oboi's hands. Not only did Oboi attack Ye Chen's letter during the court meeting, but before that, Oboi had copied the letter and sent it to Shenyang. The people who received Ye Chen's letter were Dai Shan, Jiergalang and the Queen Mother. You may say that the letter handwritten by Ye Chen had already reached my hands. I just destroyed Ye Chen's letter. There is no need to worry about Jiergalang and others attacking him. Unfortunately, the two scouts who sent Ye Chen's letter were both Ye Chen's confidants. They were also sent by Oboi to Shenyang."

"The second thing is that there has been movement in Shenyang. Zhenghongqi lost 5,000 soldiers and every household must wear mourning. Daishan was furious about this and believed that such huge losses of Zhenghongqi were related to me. Daishan went directly to find the Empress Dowager. If it was not expected, the emperor and the Empress Dowager came to the capital at the end of this month and would definitely openly discuss the battle in Jingzhou."

"The third thing is that there has been a strange movement in Shenyang. Sony, who was sent by the court to guard the spirit, is ready to move. Once the Empress Dowager mentioned the battle in Jingzhou in the court, the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner will definitely follow and make a fuss. With the Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Red Banner and the Inlaid Blue Banner, I don't know what kind of situation will appear in the court."

After Dorgon finished speaking, he walked straight over and sat down without even looking at Ajige and Dodo.

Dorgon was unwilling to be the regent of the Qing Dynasty and hoped to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Many people know this. Moreover, Duoduo, Ajige and others were firm supporters. This is due to the strength of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner is far greater than that of the other six Banners. For the Qing Dynasty, which is respected by force, this is not a big deal. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty has the Eight Banners.

If Dai Shan stood up and expressed his opposition or even attacked, Dorgon would really be unable to bear it.

If Dorgon forced himself to be the emperor, he might succeed, but the ending was the complete division of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon could not bear this crime.

The silence lasted for about five minutes, and Duoduo was still talking.

"Second brother, we just knew these things, there is no big deal. Even if Daishan stood up and attacked, he could deal with them. Daishan was old and no longer cared about the affairs in the court. As long as the second brother talked to Daishan well and the court gave Zhenghongqi more money, he could settle everything."

Dorgon looked at Duoduo and smiled coldly.

"If Daishan finds Jirgalang and the two of them join forces, what should we do?"

Duoduo's face changed, and Ajige's face also changed.

Jirgalang was originally the first regent determined by the Political Council, but his own strength was a little weak, so he withdrew from the vortex of power game and allowed the second regent Dorgon to control the Qing Dynasty. If Daishan clearly expressed his support for Jirgalang, coupled with the defeat in the Battle of Jingzhou, Dorgon would likely lose power in an instant.

Although Haoge lost power, it had a huge influence in the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon knew very well that if the Battle of Jingzhou only lost 5,000 soldiers of Zhenghong Banner, Dorgon could still find a way to stabilize Daishan's mood. It was nothing more than giving more money and food to allow Zhenghong Banner to slowly recuperate. However, Dorgon was really difficult to explain about Haoge's death.

Dorgon suppressed Haoge for several years, and the Manchus were very clear about it. Oboi took advantage of Haoge's death and found the right direction. The implicit meaning here was that Dorgon used the battle of Jingzhou to eliminate Haoge.

This is very fatal, and Dorgon would never admit it. After all, Haoge did not make a big mistake.

Duoduo, who had a slightly slight expression, spoke viciously.

"What is Oboi? Sony is no big deal. Second brother, let me deal with this matter. Neither Oboi nor Sony should think about survival. If you kill these two people, the rest will not dare to act rashly."

Dorgon snorted heavily and looked at Duoduo with a bad expression.

"Duoduo, do you think the Qing Dynasty belongs to our three brothers? Oboi and Sony are both powerful generals. They have a huge influence on the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner. If they are killed, plus Haoge and Ye Chen in front of us, we may not think about living well. Once the Qing Dynasty splits, how can we still gain a foothold in the Central Plains? At that time, the Ming army in the south will come over and we will surrender obediently."

Ajige frowned and looked at Dorgon.

"Second brother, then what do you say, what do we do?"

Ajige is telling the truth. Dorgon monopolizes power, and Ajige and Dodo and others naturally get benefits. In this process, they offended many people. Once Dorgon loses power, Jirgalang and others take control of the power. Ajige and Dodo and others have a hard time. If they are not good, they may lose the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner.

Aziger and Dodo are still clear about this.

Dorgon did not answer Ajige immediately. He stood up and walked to the front of the table, reached out and picked up the document written by Ye Chen on the table.
