Nanming Yiming

Chapter 169

Chapter 169
Just as the counterattack of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River was in full swing, forming a climax, the Manchu Qing court in Beijing was another scene.

In Prince Li's Mansion, 65-year-old Dai Shan has been out of charge for a long time and is seriously ill.

Daqing was able to achieve today's success in ruling the Central Plains, thanks to Daishan's contribution.As early as the Nurhachi period, he was the head of the Four Great Baylors; after Huang Taiji's death, Daishan, who held two red flags in his hand, was also an important force that was expected to compete for the throne.

It was Daishan's selflessness that allowed Shunzhi to succeed to the throne smoothly and avoided the internal division of Houjin.

At that time, Shuo Tuo, the second son of Daishan, colluded with his nephew Adali to seek the establishment of Dorgon, and Daishan exposed his conspiracy.

But also offended Dorgon because of this incident.

Since several sons and nephews died in battle one after another, Daishan's lineage had lost direct control of the two red flags at this time.

At this time, the seventh son of Gushan Beizi Man Dahai, the fourth son of Fuguo General Wakda, Dorobel Nikan, Prince Zheng Jierhalang and others knelt in front of his bed.

Jierhalang said: "Uncle, Prince Su Hauge took down Sichuan for the Qing Dynasty, and even shot and killed the bandit leader Zhang Xianzhong with his own hands. He has contributed to the Qing Dynasty. Now Dorgon not only does not reward him, but puts him in prison , it’s really chilling.”

"Now that the Ming army is raging in the south of the Yangtze River, our Qing Dynasty has lost cities and lands one after another. Dorgon is nepotism. We wait for the veteran generals on the battlefield to denigrate and punish crimes with excuses, or just leave them idle."

"Tan Tai, the general he appointed to conquer the south, led an army of 12 to the south, and the total number of troops brought together with Ma Guozhu, the governor of Liangjiang, was more than 20, but he couldn't open the situation in Jiangxi at all. The Ming army has almost occupied the entire south of the Yangtze River. Mo even hit the city of Nanjing, I'm afraid Jiangnan will not be able to keep it!"

Although Daishan has long since stayed at home due to his poor health, he still knows a little about the situation in the world.Although Dorgon is very selfish and has been creating unjust cases to attack political opponents, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is good anyway.

Daishan can only pretend not to know about this, he is almost buried, and he has to think about his children and grandchildren at this time.Now that the talents of his lineage are withered, he is no longer the Prince of Li who could call the wind and rain with two red flags in his hand.

He knew that his lineage was almost suppressed, as long as he continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Dorgon would still give him some face.

Originally, Man Dahai was also implicated because he followed Haoge Xizheng, but Dorgon pardoned Man Dahai for his sake.

As long as the Qing Dynasty can be stable, he is really too lazy to worry about Hauge being wronged and imprisoned, and he has no energy to toss about it!

But the situation is different now. I originally thought that the Ming army was taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing Dynasty was not in the south of the Yangtze River, so they made a lot of noise.As long as Tan Tai's southern expedition army arrives, the situation will improve.

Unexpectedly, the situation was still out of control, and the Ming army had already reached the city of Nanjing.

At this moment, he couldn't watch Dorgon go on messing around like this, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would really be over!

Soon the news spread that "Prince Li Daishan was seriously ill and paid a lot of money to seek medical treatment in the capital".

As the most respected person in the Qing royal family, Daishan existed like a parent. Although he no longer had the supreme right at this time, his prestige was still unmatched.

After hearing that Dai Shan was seriously ill, all the princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty went to visit him one after another, and even the emperor and queen mother went to Prince Li's Mansion in person.

Even the wily and calculating Jierhalang had to admire his uncle. This Beijing city is now under Dorgon's world, and his eyeliner is everywhere. They usually have to be careful when they want to meet each other.

Dai Shan used his "serious illness to seek medical treatment" to justifiably connect with everyone in the court.I don't know if he can persuade the emperor and the queen mother. After all, everyone knows that the emperor is not yet in power, and the queen mother has always been speaking for Dorgon.

The customs of the Manchus are different from those of the Han people. For women, there has always been a tradition of "the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the brother". For the sparsely populated ethnic minorities, this custom can maximize the use of women to reproduce. Choices in the natural environment.After all, in that harsh environment, it is difficult for a woman who lost her man to raise her offspring alone.

Daishan himself had a lot of scandals with Dorgon's biological mother, Nurhachi's concubine Abahai, and was even reprimanded by Nurhachi for this; and the relationship between Dorgon and Queen Mother Bumbutai has always been intriguing. Not long ago he changed his title to "Father Regent".

How embarrassing is this for Jierharang, who is also the king involved in politics?

Last year, he was fined [-] silver and dismissed from his position as an assistant government because he violated the building regulations and used bronze lions, tortoises, and cranes without authorization.These things were all bought by the servants below, and it was obvious that he was tricked by Dorgon.

Not long ago he was even falsely accused by Bei Zitunqi, Shang Shan and others.It is said that when Emperor Taizong was first mourned, Jierhalang did not raise the two yellow flags to seek Prince Haoge of Lisu and his retinue to enter the pass, and ordered the two blue flags to set up camp out of order.

Jierhalang was imprisoned because of this and was reduced to the king of Doro County.Fortunately, because of the words of the emperor and the queen mother, he was able to restore the prince.

Jierhalang understood that this was Dorgon warning himself not to intervene in Hauge's affairs.But once Dorgon killed Hauge, wouldn't he be the next one?
The three people who pose the greatest threat to Dorgon are Hauge, Daishan and himself.Now that Hauge is in prison, his life is dying; Daishan is already dying, and his life is not long; if these two people are dead, he will be alone!

So this time, no matter what, we have to fight hard!
Soon the grand court meeting began, but the appearance of two people at this court meeting was unexpected.

One is Hong Chengchou, who was impeached last year and was forced to go home to Ding You. Although it was rumored that Dorgon had already secretly recovered him, his official appearance at the court meeting this time still surprised everyone!
The other is Prince Li Daishan who has been out of court for a long time, and it was rumored that he was about to die of illness not long ago.In order to show respect, Shunzhi directly gave Daishan a seat.His appearance even aroused the speculation of the courtiers. It seems that something important will happen at this court meeting.

Shunzhi sat high in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but at this time he had not yet been in power, and Dorgon was still in essence presiding over the court meeting.

When he saw Daishan, Dorgon was also taken aback, isn't this old thing about to go to heaven?It seems that today's court meeting will inevitably have a fight.

According to the original historical trajectory, Dorgon had secretly killed Hauge in prison at this time.Hauge was wronged by him in the first place, and he would not be so stupid as to hold three joint trials and execute him publicly.

But now that the Ming army is surging, there are more and more doubts about him in the court; especially Tan Tai has been unable to open the situation in Jiangxi. At this time, he dare not directly kill Hao Ge, who is good at fighting, for fear of causing public anger.

Anyway, there are many ways to kill Hauge, and he can also borrow a knife to kill someone if necessary.

Dorgon said: "Our Southern Expedition army is in full swing. He Luohui has broken through Jiujiang, an important town in Jiangxi, and has already attacked the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi, and is attacking Nanchang; the army led by Tan Tai also broke through Qimen County in Huizhou, killing all the way. When we arrived in Raozhou, we successfully opened up the connection with the Fujian and Zhejiang regions."

"Although Jiangxi is already under the control of our army, the Ming army in other places is still very rampant. Admiral Li Chengdong of Guangdong and Guangxi rebelled, and now Guangdong has fallen."

"Received an urgent report from Jiangning a few days ago that the Ming bandit Qian Mo went north from Huzhou to sneak attack, broke through several counties, and once approached the city of Nanjing."

"Now the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is still very serious. It seems that we underestimated the Ming army before. Tan Tai didn't have enough troops to go south. Now it is urgent to send troops south again. Let's discuss how to send troops?"

When Dorgon said this, everyone was speechless.Isn't he reporting good news but not bad news?
It is true that He Luohui captured the three prefectures in northern Jiangxi, but his own casualties were not small, and he did not wipe out the main force of the Ming army. Wang Deren's main force was in Nanchang.

Tan Tai's side is even more outrageous. Although Raozhou was hit, but now Poyang, the capital city of Raozhou, has not been captured. How can we open up the Fujian-Zhejiang passage?Moreover, the Qing army was severely beaten by the Zhejiang Ming army, and now almost the entire territory of Zhejiang has fallen.Even Huizhou and Songjiang in Jiangnan Province were in the hands of the Ming army. In the first battle of Huzhou, Tan Tai was wiped out by the Ming army with 2 Manchus and Eight Banners.

Now that Nanjing is in a hurry, is this Dorgon really an idiot for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

If in normal times, his regent was covering the sky with one hand in the court, maybe this matter would have been fooled like this, but it definitely couldn't be done today.

Although many people were very angry, they were all taken by Dorgon's power and dared not speak up!
At this time, Jierhalang glanced at Daishan, who gave him a positive look, and he also understood that no one came forward, and the officials dared not respond.

Jierhalang said: "I'm afraid the matter is not as simple as the regent said. As far as I know, the Huguang side falsely declared that Huguang Governor He Tengjiao has invaded Hunan, and he has conquered several houses. Now Changsha is in danger!"

"But the greatest threat to my Qing Dynasty is Qian Mo, the master disciple of Lord Hong Chengchou!"

At this time, everyone looked at Hong Chengchou in unison, which made him quite embarrassed!
Jierhalang's dismantling made Dorgon look bad, he was clearly blaming himself.

So he said: "Hong Chengchou has gone home and reflected on Qian Mo's matter; now that my Qing Dynasty is employing people, Hong Chengchou's comeback has already made a lot of contributions to my Qing Dynasty."

"He instigated Yang Wenqi and Huang Binqing successively, helped the Qing Dynasty recover Taizhou, Zhoushan and Chongming, and killed the Ming bandit Zhang Mingzhen, which is enough to make up for it!"

Jierhalang said: "But as far as I know, Qian Mo took the opportunity to annex Zhang Mingzhen's department in eastern Zhejiang, and he has been canonized by Yongli as the Duke of Yue. This move by Hong Chengchou helped Yongli completely recover the king of Lu in Zhejiang. Forces! Now that the Ming army in the south has been recovered by Yongli, the Ming army will no longer fight among themselves!"

Hong Chengchou never expected Qian Mo to strike so quickly.Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to take down Ningbo, but he didn't want to help Qian Mo instead, which led to the faction of the King of Lu to join Yongli.

Facing Jierharang's accusation, he was speechless.

Dorgon said: "This is not Hong Chengchou's original intention, it's just that Qian Mo is too cunning! He is a family slave with three surnames. He first took refuge in Daqing, then King Lu, and now Yongli! That's it! The capricious villain will definitely be the scourge of hypocrisy in the future!"

If you want to say who the Manchu court hates the most, it must be Qian Mo.The Ming army under his command occupied the fertile land of the Qing Dynasty and wiped out nearly 20 Qing troops. There were 13000 people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria alone.

Ji Erhalang said: "Qian Mo, a family slave with three surnames, will harm the hypocrisy in the future. But now in the first battle in Huzhou, 2 people were killed by Tan Tai, and the Hangzhou Eight Banners and Nanjing Eight Banners were all killed by him. , he is my confidant's big trouble!"

Dorgon's face was ashen, and he said angrily: "That's why I discussed with you today how to enter the south of the Yangtze River. Prince Zheng didn't offer advice on how to enter the army, but here to build up other people's ambitions. What exactly is his intention?"

Jierhalang was not afraid of Dorgon either, he had already torn his face anyway, and said calmly: "I am just telling you about the actual situation in the south of the Yangtze River. The current situation is not as easy as the regent said. Tan Tai was in Huzhou University Defeated by Qian Mo, Shi Tingzhu, this dog slave, has been completely annihilated."

"Now that the Ming army has arrived at the city of Nanjing, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely serious. If we only increase the number of troops without replacing the general who conquered the south, I am afraid that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River will still be difficult to calm down."

Dole snorted coldly, thinking that the fox's tail was still exposed.

Said: "The battle in Huzhou was caused by heavy rain, not a crime of war; Tan Tai certainly made mistakes, but natural disasters cannot be controlled by manpower, so Prince Zheng doesn't need to rush to change people."

Ji Erhalang said: "The Battle of Huzhou can be said to be a natural disaster, but only 5000 positive red flags were left to guard Qian Mo, which led to the emptiness of Nanjing's troops, and Qian Mo's troops came to the city. Is this always a mistake in his defense?"

"Tan Tai concentrates his main force to go south to Jiangxi. If he makes a breakthrough, he can make up for his mistakes. But now his main force is in Jiangxi, but there is no progress."

"The Ming army under Qian Mo's command is powerful, but the Green Battalion under Jin Shenghuan's command can't be said to be elite troops, can they?"

Jierhalang's words are reasonable and have won the approval of most people. Tan Tai is indeed incompetent. If he continues to command, he may not be able to defeat the Ming army.

At this time, Man Dahai, Nikan and the others said: "The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is so urgent that it is difficult for Tan Tai to take on the heavy responsibility. This time, we must choose someone who has outstanding military achievements and is worthy of great responsibility to lead the army."

Manchus always advocate force, and Tan Tai's record is indeed not very good.There was basically no big breakthrough, and the troops were lost, and the calls for another coach to replace Tan Tai became louder.

However, this kind of topic involving the selection of the coach of the Southern Expedition has always been debated by the nobles of the Eight Banners. Unless they are asked by name, Han Chen will never join the team, and Feng Quan, Hong Chengchou and others cannot support Dorgon.

On the other hand, Tan Tai was really not up to his expectations. At this time, Duoduo and Dorgon's ironclads were not convenient to speak. For a while, Jierhalang and others had the upper hand.
