The new official takes office for three fires, which is a universal truth, because no one wants to be the shadow of others, otherwise the allusion of "Cao Sui Xiao Gui" will not have been sung for thousands of years.

Dorgon was absolutely unwilling to live in the shadow of his starling brother (Huang Taiji). He had to develop further on the basis of the foundation left by Huang Taiji, so that he could truly become the uncrowned king of the Qing Dynasty.

The sporadic attacks on the Ming army in winter last year were just appetizers, and the battle situation was always maintained outside the pass, but seventeen years later, Dorgon began to stare at the pass.

He was watching the changes in the situation in the pass every day. Because the news from the Fan family surprised him, the Ming Dynasty, a weak but extremely huge monster, suddenly ushered in his own avalanche.

Dorgon saw an opportunity, an opportunity to transform the Qing Dynasty, and an opportunity to completely get rid of the shadow of Huang Taiji.

He would not miss this opportunity.

Therefore, regarding the busy actions and disputes in the Yanjing court and the progress of the "treaches" were sent to Shengjing almost every day or every three or two days. They first reported to the Ministry of War's office, and then quickly reported to Prince Rui's mansion. Dorgon was thinking about how to take this opportunity to lead the army into the Central Plains every day.

He didn't take Li Zicheng seriously. What's so scary about the team that could be defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who can achieve something by relying on a temporary lucky moment?

Li Zicheng was beaten by Hong Chengchou and only eighteen cavalry fled into Shangluo Mountain. Hong Chengchou was transferred from Guanzhong before he dared to come out to make trouble. How could his team be able to fight against him compare to the invincible soldiers he had trained in the 20 years of war in the Qing Dynasty?

At this time, the Ming Dynasty authorities were too busy to take care of themselves and had no time to consider the movements of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, the debate in Yanjing City has been concluded on whether to recruit Wu Sangui to the capital city, and Emperor Chongzhen's intention to recruit the army has been issued.

As the saying goes, Ningyuan is bound to abandon the lonely city. It is abandoned today to abandon the land, and tomorrow to abandon the people. It is not enough to abandon the land, and it is not even more important to abandon the land and abandon the people. Wu Sangui's courage should be used, and it is not enough to entrust the enemy. Now that the enemy is here every night, if the invaders come, they will kill two birds with one stone.

Even if Wu Xiang opened his mouth wide, the million-dollar military pay scared him.

Zheng Zhilong heard the news when he arrived in Cangzhou. Emperor Chongzhen not only issued an edict to Wu Sangui, but also sent it to Zheng Zhibao, asking him to lead his troops south to retreat to Shanhaiguan.

Zheng Zhibao laughed at the edict, of course he would not obey orders. Juehua Island is the foundation of the Zheng family outside the pass. The island has reserved a large amount of military supplies. Once it is retreated, wouldn’t it be destroyed?

Li Zicheng, on the one hand, was blinded by the continuous military victory over the past year, and on the other hand, he was short-sighted and did not understand that his powerful enemy after he entered Beijing in Youyan in the east was not the helpless Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming court who was like the sunset in the west, but the so-called "East Captains" who rose in Liaodong and were eyeing the pass, so he knew very little or even completely unaware of the situation outside the pass.

In his mind and in his eyes, there were no Qing Tartars among the enemies he could see. Because there was no war between the two sides, there was naturally no grudge. How could he expect that he had been nailed to the eyes by Dorgon long ago.

Since Huangtaiji's morale, the Qing Dynasty has been closely following the peasant army in the Central Plains. In their eyes, the latter is their natural ally. Now, this natural ally has unconsciously evolved into a competitor of the Qing Dynasty. The purpose of both is to seize the Ming Dynasty. The only difference is that Li Zicheng still does not know it.

Since Huang Taiji suddenly passed away, half a year has passed, and a relatively stable political pattern has been formed within the Qing Dynasty.

The two yellow flags, headed by Prince Su Haoge, are evenly matched with the two white flags and the three brothers of Dorgon, but Dorgon has the support of the little emperor's mother in the palace, even if it is similar to each other, so he holds authority. Jirgalang has been a turtle in recent times. Although he and Dorgon are both princes of the government, they will never dare to compete with Dorgon. Maintaining a certain degree of tacit understanding with Daishan's two red flags is considered a neutral faction.

Dorgon held great power in his hands, and the first thing he did was to show kindness to his inner self or to give kindness frequently.

For example, the Abatai group, although the latter died of his third son Boluo, his second son Bo and Tou can still be used. Moreover, Abatai was also named Prince, and it seems that his previous sins have been written off.

Dorgon couldn't control the old fox of Daishan, but there were many adults in the Daishan clan. His eldest son Yue Tuo was born in the lineage. After Yue Tuo died of illness, there were many unsatisfactory ones, including the seven sons Mandahai and others.

The descendants of Shuosai and Chu Ying of Huangtaiji's system, the former has been won over by Dorgon for the simple reason. Although he is Huangtaiji's son, shortly after he was born, his mother and concubine Yehenara were given to the wife of the Minister Zhan Tushetu by Huangtaiji (It's strange, more than once, the other is Borjijit. Huangtaiji remarried to Nan Chu, the son of Delegertaiji of Yehe's tribe). And Nikan was also very shaken by Dorgon's frequent win over, because Haoge was really not a good person.

So, the political structure within the Qing Dynasty is now quite solid. At least there is no hope of change in the short term. Especially although the people of the two yellow flags are in Haoge, they are also in the little emperor, which makes Haoge in a state of suppression.

This political environment is definitely something that Da Yuer in the harem is happy to see, because the pattern is stable, and her son's throne will also be stable.

If Haoge really wants to defeat Dorgon, can he let his mother and son go?

Dorgon also saw all this thoroughly. He should not think about the throne himself, at least not in the short term. Otherwise, the two yellow flags would not be as good as him. The fact that the sword drawn in the Turge's palace that day was not only his own.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were divided into three upper and five lower flags. As long as you think about the changes in the two yellow flags and two white flags when you were old slaves, you will understand what the consequences of the emperor's inheritance will be.

Dorgon simply took a different path. As long as he could establish Yuanmai Huangtaiji's contribution, he, as the regent, would be the emperor.

Now the army led by Li Zicheng has broken Taiyuan, forced himself to surrender to Datong, and rushed towards Yanjing; and his other team also crossed the Yellow River. As a side army, he went to the party, defeated Huaiqing, defeated Weihui, and then went north to Zhangde, swept across the three prefectures in northern Henan. He was about to advance north to Zhili and occupy Baoding. "Zhu Ming's country has been destroyed in the evening." Dorgon was very excited when he encountered this founding fortune. He presided over the court discussion for several days and discussed decisions with everyone.

"There is really a 500,000 army of this postman?" Abatai said in surprise after seeing the edict of Li Zicheng to attack Yan sent by the Fan family.

This man was so awesome? He led an army of 500,000 from Hancheng to Jin, and there were still a million troops behind him. If Li Zicheng had so many troops to go north, the total number of people in the Manchu, Mongolian and Han people in the Qing Dynasty would not have exceeded 150,000. He would never go south rashly to avoid being defeated by the "titles" with a large number of people and a strong morale.

"Haha, Brother Seven is too proud of Li Zicheng. Did you forget Cao Cao's 800,000 army in Chibi?" The story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had been widely circulated in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was a popular topic for storytelling. Many of the nobles of the Qing Dynasty heard of it.

"Prince Rui is wise. In his humble opinion, Li thief claimed that 500,000 people crossed the river and entered Jin and attacked Youyan in the east. This is a false statement, and the actual number of troops is absolutely no such number. The number of soldiers and generals is about 200,000 to 300,000, and there will be no more. For 300,000, the number of troops that can fight under Yanjing City will not exceed 200,000." Fan Wencheng took advantage of the situation.

He really should have thanked Zheng Zhilong, otherwise there would be a Hong Chengchou who had a stronger say in the matters in the Central Plains at this moment.

"Oh, what do you mean? Li Zhe is so powerful that his troops are rolling snow all the way, so should they only get bigger and bigger?"

"In more than a month, the Li bandits swept across the western Jin Dynasty. There were many passes, so how could there be no large army stationed? Even if there were many surrendered troops, how could they be trusted? In addition, Li Zicheng was a bandit and was good at moving. Now he established a fake name in Chang'an, which seemed to be strict and strict. He crossed the river east and attacked Yanjing to seize the throne, so he could only carry out troops to correct the law. Isn't the transportation of baggage along the way simple? Therefore, if Li bandits crossed the river east with 300,000 troops, and left troops to garrison along the way, there were only 200,000 more people when they arrived at the city of Yanjing."
