Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 41 41, Dorgon intends to go south, Prince Zheng suddenly counterattacks
Shengjing, Qing Palace.

Eight years have passed since Aixinjueluo Huangtaiji established the "Qing" state.

During these eight years, the Qing Dynasty had more victories than defeats against the Ming Dynasty, and Shengjing became more and more prosperous. Even this relatively thin imperial palace seemed to be much more majestic.

The bell of the Shang Dynasty rang, and many ministers of the Qing Dynasty filed in, walked into the Dazheng Hall, and stood in two rows.

Most of these ministers came from the Jianzhou Jurchen, that is, the Houjin established by Nurhaci, and a small part came from the Han ministers who surrendered in the Central Plains.

But without exception, all of them have the iconic braids of the Qing people on the back of their heads.

At the top of the Dazheng Hall, there are three seats, the throne is at the top, and the other two seats are at the bottom, one on the left and one on the right.

"Your Majesty is here, and the two assistant kings are here!"

Amid the loud shouts of the eunuchs, a seven-year-old child wearing a crown and dragon robe slowly walked up. This is the current third-generation ruler of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Fulin (Shunzhi).

Then, two men wearing crowns walked out from the side door, followed closely behind.

One of them was thin and 32 years old at the time, and he was the owner of the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Dynasty, Prince He Shuorui, and the assistant king Aixinjueluo Dorgon.

The other one was slightly taller and more stable. He was 45 years old at the time, and he was also the assistant king of the Qing Dynasty. He was the owner of the blue flag of the Qing Dynasty.
All the ministers stepped forward and bowed down: "I have seen His Majesty, I have seen the auxiliary king."

The seven-year-old Xiao Fulin waved his hand blankly, and all the officials lined up.

Fulin sat down on the throne, and on both sides of him, Dorgon and Jierhalang sat down at the same time.

Fulin didn't say a word after sitting down, looking like a statue.

Everyone is used to this, and no one would expect a seven-year-old child to rule the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon coughed and said slowly: "Now that the civil turmoil in the Ming Dynasty has resumed, the Dashun Army led by Li Zicheng has surrounded the city of Beijing. Judging from the previous intelligence, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan has brought the main force back to rescue Beijing. Chongzhen.

Someone told me in private that it is time for our Qing Dynasty to take this opportunity to take down Shanhaiguan.I said, this Qing Dynasty is not my own Qing Dynasty, and I always have to discuss it with the prince and Baylor.

Today, let's discuss this matter, whether to send troops or not to send troops.Well, let's talk about our opinions. "

Dorgon's voice fell, and the hall fell into a moment of silence.

It's not that everyone has nothing to say, but they want to listen to the opinion of another assistant king, Prince Zheng Jierhalang.

Since the previous emperor Huang Taiji's sudden death last year, Dorgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge fought for the throne. In the end Hauge was kicked out of the power center, and Dorgon and Jierhalang became the twin giants assistant kings.

After hearing Dorgon's words, Jierhalang frowned slightly, and said: "I don't think it is necessary to send troops in this matter. The internal strife in the Ming Dynasty is something we Qing Dynasty would like to see. If If we send troops at this time, will the Ming people compromise with each other again?

So, we should still sit here and watch them fight to the death.If the Ming Dynasty is really destroyed, we will find an opportunity to go south.If the Ming Dynasty repulses Li Zicheng, then we can also take advantage of it, isn't that great? "

Obviously, Jierhalang's attitude is against going south at this time.

Just as Jierhalang finished speaking, a sneer came from below: "Prince Zheng is too cowardly to say this!"

Everyone was taken aback, who would dare to speak to the assistant king like that?

Looking back, he immediately showed a relieved expression.Oh, it turned out to be him, so it's not surprising.

Who?
The owner of the inlaid white flag is Aixinjueluo Duoduo, Prince Yu.

This Duo Duo is the No.15 son of Nurhaci, that is, the No.15 younger brother of Huang Taiji. The most important thing is that he and Dorgon were born to the same mother, and they are Dorgon's largest son in the Qing Dynasty. assistant.

Hearing Duduo's rebuttal, Jierhalang was obviously very unhappy, and said coldly: "Prince Yu, what's your opinion?"

Duoduo said loudly: "The current Ming Kingdom is completely rotten. At this time, it is the best time for the Qing Dynasty to enter the Ming Kingdom! We should send troops to attack Shanhaiguan, let that guy Wu Sangui There is no way to return to his Beijing city!

As long as Beijing City is breached by Li Zicheng, then we will have a chance to take Shanhaiguan directly!Without Shanhaiguan, Beijing was taken by Li Zicheng again, and the time for our Qing Dynasty to take over the Central Plains has come! "

Duduo's words were obviously very provocative, which made the faces of many Qing ministers present shine brightly.

After hearing Duduo's words, Jierhalang not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead.

"Prince Yu, that servant Hong Chengchou told you what you said, right? Hong Chengchou, get out and answer me!"

As soon as Jierhalang finished speaking, an official wearing a Qing official uniform and braided hair came out and knelt down with a plop.

This person is Hong Chengchou, the former governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty and now a scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

I saw Hong Chengchou said very earnestly: "Returning to Prince Zheng's master, I feel that the current Ming Dynasty is indeed the weakest time, and it is also the best time for the Qing Dynasty to take over the Central Plains. If the Qing Dynasty does not seize this opportunity, In case Li Zicheng is repelled and the Ming Dynasty breathes a sigh of relief, it will be very difficult for the Qing Dynasty to have such a good time in the future."

Jierhalang laughed loudly, stood up suddenly, strode down the steps, and kicked Hong Chengchou in the face.

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to dodge at all, so he had to take the kick, and then he was kicked out with a scream, and his nose was bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Duoduo was furious and shouted, "Prince Zheng, what do you mean by beating someone?"

Ji Erhalang sneered, and said to Duo Duo: "Why, you can sleep with Hong Chengchou, a slave woman. I kicked him as the master, but you still feel bad? You have to remember, he is a slave with a yellow flag , not your slave with the white flag, you are his master, and of course I am his master!"

Duduo was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Dorgon, who was still sitting comfortably on the chair, patted the armrest of the chair heavily: "Okay! They are all from the Qing Dynasty, why are you arguing here! Doduo, you get back for me!" !"

Duo Duo was dissatisfied, but due to Duo ErGun's strength, he could only retreat resentfully.

Jierhalang was in a good mood, and kicked Hong Chengchou on the shoulder again, shouting: "Get out! This is the Qing Dynasty. The masters are discussing matters. It's not your turn, a slave, to make irresponsible remarks here!"

Hong Chengchou got up helplessly and returned to his position.

In the main hall, many important officials of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty looked at Hong Chengchou with disdainful eyes.

After all, he was just a slave of the Qing Dynasty, that is, he was favored by the late emperor and made a few ideas, so he really took himself seriously?

The Great Qing, after all, is the Great Qing of our Jurchens!

Jilharang returned to his seat and said calmly: "I still said that I will not send troops! Whoever agrees should stand up now!"

After Jierhalang's words fell, many ministers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty spoke one after another.

"No troops!"

"Wait until the winner is decided!"

"Prince Zheng is right!"

Listening to these words, Dorgon's face gradually became very gloomy.

Although they are all co-regulatory kings, Dorgon has always been the main government affairs in the Qing Dynasty, and Jierhalang is willing to rank second most of the time.

So Dorgon never expected that Jierhalang would take the initiative today and catch Dorgon off guard.

You must know that it is only the second year of Shunzhi, and it has only been one year since Dorgon became the auxiliary king. His power is still mainly in the Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner. Although the power he controls is superior to other factions, it is far from To the point where I am the only one.

Now that other important ministers of the Eight Banners have supported Jierhalang, even if Dorgon is the chief assistant king, it is impossible to forcefully order war at this time.

Dorgon suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Forget it, since Prince Zheng and everyone said so, of course I won't disobey everyone's wishes. But everyone must remember that the city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty is destined to be destroyed. It’s broken, we have to make preparations first, once the Ming Kingdom is broken, we will directly enter the pass!”

Jierhalang laughed and said, "Prince Rui said that when Beijing is captured, I will take soldiers to Beijing to take down that city and become the new capital of the Qing Dynasty!"

In the Dazheng Hall, there was a moment of joy and laughter.

Dorgon snorted heavily, and thought to himself: "Well, you Jierharang, don't you just want me to take the military exploits and suppress you even more? Just wait and see, after the city of Beijing is broken, I won't let this Military power falls into your hands!"

The overt and secret struggle between the two auxiliary kings of the Qing Dynasty ended with Jierhalang's temporary victory!
