Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 64 Chapter 64, Shengjing City has another dispute, and Dorgon is continuously restrained
Shengjing, Qing Palace.

Another court meeting was held, and this time what the court discussed was still news from the Central Plains Dynasty.

From Nurhachi to the present, the entire growth history of the Qing Dynasty is a history of confrontation with Daming, so they are very concerned about the intelligence of Ming Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou, a group of Ming officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, secretly used various The network, so he also has a good understanding of the situation of the whole war.

What connections?For example, Wu Sangui's stepmother is called Zu Shi, and she is Zu Dashou's sibling sister.In other words, Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's uncle.

Half of the generals of the Guan Ning Army brought out by Li Chengliang were now serving in the Qing Dynasty, and their relationship with the Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty was constantly being cut off and messed up.

An officer was loudly reciting the urgent military information he had just received.

"According to reports from spies, a few days ago Li Zicheng wanted to use Cao Huachun and others in the city as internal agents to attack and break through the city of Beijing in one fell swoop. But this matter was discovered by the city. After Li Zicheng's general Gao Jie led his army into the city, they were all wiped out. Li Zicheng became seriously ill after hearing the news. field, and immediately announced the withdrawal of troops after his condition improved.

Now that the siege of Beijing has been lifted, Wu Sangui has gone to Beijing to meet Chongzhen, and Li Zicheng's army is retreating all the way south, and it is possible to find a new stronghold about a hundred miles south of Beijing. "

After hearing this military information, all the Qing ministers present had very solemn expressions.

For the Qing Dynasty, they and the Ming Dynasty were mortal enemies. If the city of Beijing could fall, it would undoubtedly be the best news for the Qing Dynasty.

But now, after hearing the news that Li Zicheng was forced to withdraw his troops, the Qing Dynasty could only feel the same way.

Disappointed, very disappointed.

After hearing this, Dorgon was very angry.

For Dorgon, he has always strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation and going south to attack the Ming Dynasty, so the current situation is the last thing Dorgon wants to see.

Dorgon snorted, and said coldly: "I said a long time ago that Shanhaiguan should be marched ahead of time, even if we can't win the Beijing city of Ming Dynasty, it would be great if we can control Shanhaiguan.

Now it's all right. Li Zicheng was defeated and retreated. The Shanhaiguan side was obviously empty of troops but not in any danger. What do you think? "

Everyone could tell that Dorgon's words were aimed at another auxiliary king, Jierhalang.

The battle between Dorgon and Jierhalang has been very intense in the past two years.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there is usually only one person in a position like the assistant king, but now that two people are assistant kings, it is inevitable that they want to suppress each other.

The deliberation system used by the Qing Dynasty today is the "Meeting of Princes and Ministers for Deliberation on Government Affairs", which is a meeting composed of the Eight Banners banner leaders plus 24 princes, Beile, Beizi and other nobles. All of these people are from the Later Jin Dynasty, that is, Manchus.

These ministers of state affairs are generally the banner owners of each banner, the leader of the army, or the ministers of various ministries and other powerful figures, so it is difficult for even the emperor to object to the decisions made by the meeting of ministers of state affairs.

This caused great constraints to the imperial power, which led to the fact that Yongzheng later set up a military aircraft department to develop the autocratic monarchy to its peak.

As far as the current meeting of kings and ministers is concerned, although Dorgon has Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, but Jierhalang is older than Dorgon and has deeper qualifications than Dorgon, so he can influence more political discussions Minister.

In order to break this point, Dorgon proposed that in each of the six departments, one of the Shangshu and the minister must be a Han nationality, and the other must be a Manchu.

Dorgon's purpose is very simple, which is to let the Han people participate and share part of the power. In this case, the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty will definitely be loyal to Dorgon, thus achieving the effect of strengthening Dorgon's power.

Of course, Jierhalang also saw this and strongly opposed it. This is why Jierhalang punched and kicked Hong Chengchou, a surrendered Hanchen, in public during the last court meeting.

Today is just another confrontation between the two sides.

After listening to Dorgon's words, Jierhalang smiled slightly and said: "What Prince Rui said is wrong. We originally said last time that we would let Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty fight dogs, and both sides would suffer.

Now that Li Zicheng was defeated, but not completely defeated, he was only temporarily retreating south. He still wanted to conquer Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty won the defensive battle, but it did not win completely. It only temporarily relieved the siege of Beijing. In fact, Beijing was still an isolated city, surrounded by Li Zicheng's forces.

Isn't this the result we most want to see?As long as they continue to fight, even if one of them wins, the other's vitality will be seriously injured!
At that time, the old man will naturally lead his troops to the south, destroy this Ming Dynasty, and seize the Central Plains! "

Jierhalang scolded Fang Qiu when he spoke, showing a heroic spirit, and immediately got the support of many ministers who discussed politics.

"Let them go dog-eat-dog, and we will reap the benefits!"

"The Qing Dynasty is not strong enough, and let the Ming dogs internally quarrel."

"It just so happens that the Mongols are not very obedient recently, so we can fight Mongolia first."

All of a sudden, it was clear that those who supported Jilharang had the upper hand.

Dorgon was filled with hatred, but now that the matter was over, he could only stop speaking.

Seeing that he had gained power, Jierhalang felt more joyful in his heart, and laughed loudly: "I heard that the biggest support of the Ming Kingdom is actually a 15-year-old prince. It is ridiculous. There are no tigers in the mountains. Your Majesty, our Great Qing Tigers will recharge their batteries for the time being, and when the time is right, we will march south before it is too late!"

……

Half a day later, Prince Rui's Mansion.

Dorgon slapped the table vigorously, and said angrily, "This old dog Jierhalang has ruined my king's affairs again and again, it is really hateful!"

Duoduo's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Brother Wang, how about we find some people to kill him?"

Dorgon snorted, and said, "No way! It's a big taboo to kill the same clan. If the other banner owners and ministers know about this, it will be difficult for you and my brothers to do it in the future."

Duoduo said: "Then what should I do?"

Dorgon thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Come here, go and call Zu Dashou!"

Duduo was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, what did you ask that slave to do?"

Dorgon smiled slightly: "Isn't he Wu Sangui's uncle? I just asked him to send some letters to Beijing!"
