In the spring of the seventh year of Qianyuan (1648), Da'ei again sent troops to the Northeast.

The troops were still divided into two groups, advancing by land and water.

It took less than a month to capture Ping An Road and Huanghai Road.

The pressure on the Qing Dynasty increased greatly.

In order to gather resources as quickly as possible to resist the Yi army, the Qing Dynasty could only send troops southward, attack Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province, and make up for the lost materials and population from North Korea.

In the seventh year of Qianyuan, it was the third day of October.

The Qing army captured the last city held by North Korea in Jeolla Province, and the Lee family's North Korean monarchs and ministers had to flee to sea.

They originally wanted to flee to Dawei and ask for help. However, not long after leaving the Korean mainland, they unfortunately encountered a large group of Japanese pirates.

Lee's Korea had few ships and soldiers left, and its morale was low. It lacked ammunition, but it was actually wiped out by this large group of Japanese pirates at sea.

Lee's Korea was destroyed.

Lee's Korea was built by Li Chenggui, the former general of Korea, to replace Wang's Korea. The name of the country was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

From the founding of the country in the 1392th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1648) to the subjugation of the country in the eighth year of Qianyuan in the Ming Dynasty (256), we shared the country for years...

Xianjing Road, Xianjing in the Qing Dynasty.

In the Chongzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, Dorgon once again convened the two auxiliary kings and many ministers for discussion.

As for Emperor Fulin, he naturally still sits on the dragon throne and acts as a mascot.

Although he is already eleven years old, given the current situation, it is probably far off for him to take charge of the government.

They don’t even have the right to participate in political discussions.

In order to show his superior status as regent, Dorgon moved his chair under the dragon chair and faced the others.

After the meeting began, Dorgon stood up and spoke.

He had a serious look on his face, he was leaner than he had been a few years ago, and his nostrils seemed a little bigger when he spoke.

"Everyone, now that Korea has been destroyed, and the Wei Kingdom has captured Ping'an Road and Huanghaidao, we don't have much time left for the Qing Dynasty."

"In the past few years, although we have worked hard to develop firearms such as artillery and muskets, we have been limited by the short time and the resources such as sulfur and saltpeter are controlled by the Wei State. The level of firearms is still far behind that of the Wei army."

"We fought several battles on Pingan Road and Huanghaidao this spring, but we failed to win any of them. Even if we don't want to, we have to admit that we are not the opponent of the Yi army yet."

"It is obvious that the Yi army intends to occupy North Korea. Now that the Li family is about to be destroyed, I am afraid that next spring the Yi army will send troops to attack the Qing Dynasty."

"This is the situation. If you, princes and ministers have any ideas, please tell us."

In today's Qing Dynasty, under Dorgon's reforms, the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners armies each have two ministers for political affairs. However, the ministers for political affairs of the Eight Banners Mongolian and Eight Banners Han armies are not eligible to participate in such meetings related to national policy and national destiny.

Therefore, there were sixteen political ministers present at the meeting, plus Dorgon, Jierhalang, Hauge and Manhai who inherited the title of prince, there were twenty "princes".

After listening to Dorgon's words, except for the three auxiliary kings, all the ministers began to speak.

"Sigh, we really can't stop the Yi army."

"If you can't stop it, why don't you stop it? Is it possible to surrender?"

"I'm afraid that if we surrender, they won't give us a way to survive."

"I never thought that things were changing so fast. Ten years ago, we could easily enter the country and roam the Central Plains, grabbing gold, silver, jewelry, women and livestock at will."

"And now, we are forced to North Korea, and we can't even keep our last foothold."

"Is it possible that our Qing Dynasty will perish like this?"

"Emperor Taizu has a spirit in heaven, tell us what to do..."

At the end of the discussion, one of the older ministers felt that there was no solution to the Qing Dynasty's current predicament. He couldn't help feeling sad, and he knelt down in the palace and cried to the sky.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely pessimistic.

"What are you doing?!" Dorgon stood up and roared angrily, "I asked you to discuss politics, not to cry here. Our Qing Dynasty is not dead yet!"

Since establishing his status as regent, Dorgon's prestige has become higher and higher in the past two years.

This loud roar caused the palace to immediately become silent.

After what happened just now, Dorgon felt that it was impossible to hear better advice from these people. So he directly stated the results of their discussion among the princes.

"As someone said just now, we can't defeat the Yi army now, and surrender is impossible - the Yi country and the Qing Dynasty have a deep hatred. Even if they surrender, I'm afraid they won't let us go. As for the glory and wealth, let alone May be retained."

"After many discussions between me and the three auxiliary kings, I believe that there are only two paths before our Qing Dynasty."

"The first is to cross the sea and flee to Japan, and the second is to go north and escape to the west via Mobei Mongolia."

"Of course, before we officially escape, we still have to take advantage of North Korea's geographical location and try our best to resist the Yi army."

"If we can defeat the Yi army in a few games, stabilize our position and own part of Korea, it would be best."

"Even if we can't win, we have to wait for two more years to buy time for us to escape."

"But today we mainly discuss which way is better to cross the sea or go north."

In fact, news of the entire country's flight when they were defeated by the Yi army had already been leaked.

In the past, many political ministers were doubtful or unwilling to believe that it would come to this point.

But since Dorgon made it official today, it means that he may really embark on the road of fleeing the whole country in the future.

Although this road is very difficult when you think about it, in the end it has two more hopes than surrendering to death.

So the ministers gathered themselves and started discussing again.

"If you really want to escape, I think it would be better to go to Japan. Now our Qing Dynasty and Japan are across the sea, and we have built more than a dozen large-scale ships."

"As long as we can hold the Wei army for a year and a half, we can transport many people to Japan."

Some people objected, "Japan is not a terra nullius, and its national power is stronger than North Korea. I'm afraid we won't be able to gain a foothold there."

"Besides, if the Wei Kingdom really wants to kill us all, who knows that they won't chase us all the way to Japan?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to take a detour to Mobei and go to the west - I heard that there are many small countries there, which is suitable for us to re-establish the Qing Dynasty."

Another minister sneered, "The west is indeed good, but it is thousands of miles away from us, and the north is cold and desolate. How many tribesmen can we bring?"

"There are too few people in our clan. Should we go over there to take the lead and establish a country? I'm afraid we will be annexed by the big clans such as Wala!"

"···"

After a while, the ministers divided into two camps.

There are those who support crossing the sea to go to Japan, and there are also those who support going north and detouring to Mobei to go to the west.

And the number of people on both sides is not much different.

This made Dorgon, Hauge and others frown for a while.

The reason why they brought this important matter to the meeting of kings and ministers for discussion was because several of them had discussed it several times to no avail. They hoped to go through the meeting to see which side had more support.

Nowadays, there are equally many people supporting both options. Isn’t this a waste of time?

In this way, a meeting related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty came to nothing in the quarrel among the ministers.

After going down to court, Dorgon returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.

After thinking for a while in the study, he said: "Go and call Hong Chengchou."

"twitter."

Not long after, Hong Chengchou arrived and beat him skillfully.

"My servant comes to see the prince."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Now that Dorgon had regarded Hong Chengchou as his confidant, he did not mince words and said bluntly: "At today's meeting of kings and ministers, as many people supported crossing the sea as going north. There is no result. What should I do?"

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was now bound to the Qing Dynasty for life and death, so he gritted his teeth and said: "If the Qing Dynasty really can't stop the Yi army and the whole country wants to flee, it is better to separate the families."

"Separate the family?" Dorgon frowned even more tightly, "How do you say this?" (End of Chapter)
