Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 830
The Manchus quickly reached a consensus on the destruction of Azig and more than 2 cavalry, and initially accepted Dorgon's strategy on how to deal with it.

During the first month, the Manchus kept silent about this failure, as if nothing had happened, but they quickly integrated their forces in secret and asked for help everywhere in order to stabilize the situation.

Bumbutai came forward to mediate, and when Daishan learned that Azige had died and all the more than 2 cavalry in the Qing Dynasty were wiped out, he was worried about the fate of the people, and Kuang also expressed his willingness to accept the settlement.

After receiving Bumbutai's letter, he immediately led two red flags into the customs, and also brought a little grain stolen from North Korea to solve Dorgon's urgent need.

North Korea was originally a poor place. Apart from nesting on the island and earthquakes all day long, Japan, which is poorer than him, can take a fancy to this land. The Central Plains Dynasty basically dismissed it. I can't take it back, so what's the use of it.

There was also a snowstorm outside the pass this time. Daishan could not let the Manchus starve to death, he could only let the Koreans starve. His cavalry went straight to Gyeonggi-do, North Korea, and stole most of North Korea's winter food.

The food brought by Daishan was just a drop in the bucket for Dorgon, but he released his goodwill, and Dorgon immediately made concessions.

After the Haoge Rebellion, the two white flags that entered Beijing were withdrawn from Beijing and retreated to Yongding Camp. Daishan was allowed to lead the two red flags into Beijing, but neither side could monopolize Beijing, and each city gate was guarded by two parties. , making Daishan no longer worried about his own safety, and the necessary prerequisites for the reconciliation between the two parties. Daishan then set off from Shanhaiguan to Beijing.

Henan and Shaanxi are only separated by Tongguan. Although Hauge's strategy of westward expedition was successful, he was influenced by Han culture and did not compete in the Central Plains. He gave up his attention to the Central Plains.

Not long after Shang Kexi was defeated and returned to Nanyang, Ma Jinzhong, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Guangtai and other troops chasing from Huguang also came to the front line of Xinye. Nearly 10 Ming troops gathered here, so it is naturally impossible to return empty-handed.

Although it was stated that the army did not prepare siege equipment, they still pressed on Nanyang resolutely. Shang Kexi did not dare to fight, and fled back to Luoyang directly.

The war in Henan was reported to Xi'an by Hauge's spies. This caused Hauge, especially Jierharang, to change his attitude towards Dorgon rapidly.

At the end of January, Daishan and Duoergun, who had just arrived, met in the Manchu Palace.

Although Bumbutai has dealt with it, the two have negotiated a condition, Dorgon made a major concession, and let Shunzhi also make Daishan the uncle regent to stand side by side with him, but the relationship between the two is after all because of the previous things. It was unpleasant, and a rift was born. The estrangement and suspicion cannot be eliminated in a short time.

When the two met, it was a bit embarrassing, Dorgon backed away from the left and right, leaving only the two of them, Dorgon stretched out his hand to ask Dai Shan to sit opposite him, and then broke the dullness, "Second brother is coming to Beijing. , you and my brother don’t mention it anymore, from now on we two should work together to protect our country full of people.”

Dorgon's "Second Brother" made Dai Shan's heart move. Both of them are veterans in political struggle.Since Dorgon gave a step, Daishan immediately sat down and smiled awkwardly, "The past will go with the wind, and the Qing Dynasty is the most important right now."

"Second brother already knows, right?" Seeing this, Dorgon got straight to the point.

"I know a little bit, but it's not comprehensive. There are some things that I need to talk about with my fourteenth brother." Daishan said melancholy.

Seeing this, Dorgon said with hatred: "The latest news from the Ministry of War is that Shang Kexi fled to Luoyang, and Dengzhou, Nanyang and other places were handed over to Nanming."

As soon as Nanyang was lost, the Ming army directly threatened Heluo.

Dai Shan frowned and asked, "How are you going to deal with Shang Kexi?"

"Henan has been entrusted to Monk Kong Youde to be guarded by Kexi, and now there are [-] Green Battalion soldiers in his hands, and I dare not move lightly." Dorgon said in a deep voice.

Dai Shan frowned, "Old Fourteen, you did the right thing. Don't touch him for the time being, so as not to cause disasters. After the court situation is stabilized, it won't be too late to deal with him."

Dorgon went on to say: "Fan Wencheng, news came back from there that King Zhuang promised to lend us grain, but Hauge didn't agree to borrow it. He asked me to buy it, and asked the court to exchange it for silver and pig iron, and only agreed to give us grain." 40 shi."

"So, there's still not enough food!" Dai Shan tapped on the table.

"The second brother has to prepare to go to Horqin recently, and then attack quickly. He doesn't ask to destroy Moxi Mongolia in one go, as long as he can plunder some cattle, sheep and people."

"I have no problem going!" Dai Shan hesitated, "The court is in such a difficult situation now, the Heluo gate has been opened, and the battle between the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River is still ongoing. If the Ming Dynasty suddenly comes over, can you handle it?"

Dorgon sighed and said, "Old Fifteenth is still holding on in Yangzhou. I am going to send envoys south to exchange Yangzhou for Wang Yan's truce."

"Are you sure?" Daishan looked at him.

"no!"

Dorgon replied very simply, and Daishan couldn't help feeling a little angry when he heard this. He came back this time for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and he was not here to make a joke. Seeing this, Dorgon sighed, "The decision now rests with the king." Yan, not in the Qing Dynasty, we can only do well, and if he wants to fight, we can only accompany him. Hauge, the remnants of the western thieves, and even the Hongmao Fan who came to the capital to pay tribute last year can all It's not a bad idea to contact Nanming and fight Nanming!"

"Old Fourteen, do you still want to fight?" A trace of anxiety flashed in Daishan's eyes.

Dorgon said: "If Nanming is unwilling to make peace, then we have to fight another battle. One is to let Nanming know that our Qing Dynasty is still strong, so that Nanmian retreats despite difficulties, and the other is not to win a battle. Han people will not be honest!"

"Can the imperial court still support a big war?" Dorgon said something reasonable, Daishan asked hesitantly.

"If we start a fight, we don't necessarily have to be at the forefront this time. Hauge has watched dramas in Shaanxi for two years, and with the success of the Western Expedition to Turpan and Heshuote Mongolia, his strength will increase, and his ambition will inevitably expand. Now Nanming is still fighting. Occupying eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan, I believe he cannot tolerate Nanming threatening the Chengdu Plain all the time. If he can be instigated to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and we will help, Nanming will definitely turn his energy to the northwest, so that I, the Qing Dynasty, can breathe for a while. "

Daishan was silent, and Dorgon's meaning was very clear, that is, to bring disaster to the west, but Daishan didn't like the intrigue between Dorgon and Hauge very much, which would only damage the interests of the Manchus in the end.

He pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Old Fourteen, if Nanming refuses to make peace and you instigate Haoge to attack Nanming, I, Daqing, should still cooperate with Haoge with all my strength. If Haoge also loses, we are full of people It will do no good."
