Chapter 64 The troubles of Shunzhi

Shunzhi drove Dorgon away. He thought he was proud, but he didn't know that Zhang Biwu was always paying attention to the situation here. When Zhang Biwu heard that Shunzhi wanted to capture Dorgon, Dorgon successfully escaped. However, Dorgon did not dare to attack the city immediately, but retreated to Shanhaiguan.

"Hey!" Zhang Biwu felt that it was a pity, and he punched a heavy punch in his palm and said, "This Dorgon! It would be great if he had siege the city! He is not a weak person, how could he not siege the city? Is he too concerned about his feelings with Da Yu'er? A politician cannot be emotional!"

Xiong Jianhao replied: "It's very simple! Dorgon didn't want the internal conflicts of the Qing Dynasty to be urgent, and his strength was greatly damaged. He made concessions to Shunzhi. Now that he retreated to Shanhaiguan, Shunzhi naturally did not want to press against him anymore. After all, he also had strong troops. Even if he issued an edict to denounce Dorgon's charge, he forced Huang Taiji's death to hide. He knew that there was room for everything. I think this must be the work of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty and convinced Shunzhi."

Zhang Biwu understood and said, "If everything is left with room for power, it is not impossible for Dorgon to return to the Qing court and take power again. If so, Dorgon is still a strong enemy! But when Dorgon takes refuge, what we want is to expand our power as soon as possible. When Dorgon regains power, Dorgon will not do anything to me!"

Zhang Biwu was full of confidence. He immediately led the 60,000 troops to advance to Nanjing. Nanjing City urgently asked Beijing for help, but he heard about the confrontation between Dorgon and Shunzhi, and did not know what to do for a while.

Zhang Biwu even issued an edict to Jiangnan, calling on everyone to rise up and drive away the Tartars together. At this time, the fire between Shunzhi and Dorgon was greatly shocked by it. Naturally, the anti-Qing wave began to rise again.

Zhang Biwu attacked Nanjing at all costs. All the defenses in Nanjing had already been divided into two factions, one was Zhong Shunzhi and the other was Dorgon. Now, whether it was Dorgon or Shunzhi in charge, they naturally had no intention of defending. Under Zhang Biwu's offensive, Nanjing was soon liberated.

Huang Qi first climbed to the top of the city, and he cut off the Qing Dynasty's dragon flag, then threw it under the city, and then inserted the "Ming" flag. He shouted: "Nanjing is restored!"

Then the soldiers rushed into Nanjing like a tide. The Qing soldiers either surrendered or could only escape. Those who dared to resist were shot dead.

When Nanjing was lost, the whole country was shocked, and the Qing Dynasty's rule in the south began to shake. Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, Shi Kefa, Huang Degong and others all began a great counterattack in Fujian. They succeeded one after another and continued to restore the lost territory.

Especially Huang Degong, who believed that instead of being tied up in Fujian, it would be better to lead troops north to rely on Zhang Biwu, so that he could do something. He was also very friendly to Cao Bianjiao, and he could play a better role in Zhang Biwu's tent, and he would not have to suffer a lot of grievances and shrink to the ground for many years.

Shi Kefaze thought that it would be great if he could follow Yongli. He knew that he was still subject to Zheng Chenggong here. It would be better to think of a way to get closer to Emperor Yongli. He and He Tengjiao and Qu Shisi together would be able to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. Shi Kefa knew better than anyone else that military generals were leading troops outside, even if they drove out the Tartars, it might not be the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Only by supporting Yongli and building a strong army, can they revive the Ming Dynasty with strength.

On the other hand, on the side of Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo naturally would not let go of the favorable situation. He also moved south from Huguang to occupy Hunan and then seize Guangxi. With Huguang and Guangxi, Li Dingguo's strength has also been strengthened and he has better served Emperor Yongli.

Li Guo wanted to develop into Shu, but now Shu is under the jurisdiction of Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui also occupied Yunnan and Guizhou areas. His troops were very limited, so the land of Chongqing was captured by Li Guo.

Wu Sangui also sent someone to discuss peace with Li Guo, otherwise he would not hesitate to fight Li Guo. With Li Guo's troops, they would not be able to defeat Wu Sangui, and both sides would be defeated.

Li Guo also issued an ultimatum to Wu Sangui to either turn against the water or resist the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, Li Guo and Li Dingguo would fight Wu Sangui together.

Wu Sangui was wandering. He didn't know if the battle between Shunzhi and Dorgon after the Qing Dynasty would be really damaged and could he recover his vitality? If he couldn't, he could turn against him. With Shu and Yunnan and Guizhou, he would respect himself. Not to mention unifying the world, he could at least control one side, and be the second Liu Bei.

In addition, Zhang Biwu sent Zu Zerun, who had surrendered to him before, to talk about Wu Sangui with his cousin. Wu Sangui received another letter from Zu Dashou in Beijing, advising him not to oppose the Qing Dynasty and be good! This time it was so fun. The father and son did their own things, but they advised Wu Sangui to do the opposite.

Wu Sangui smiled, this is for his own master! But he cannot offend him either. Otherwise, he could scold Zu Zerun for disregarding his father, and of course he could also scold Zu Dashou for not remembering the old grace of the Ming Dynasty. The current situation is that neither side can scold him, and he can only entrust him with a false snake.

The Qing Dynasty occupied only the entire provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong, but these two provinces were still divided, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. It can almost be said that the south, which was originally the final one, was lost in a short period of time. How great is the vibration within the Qing court?

Shunzhi was completely stupid. He thought that if Dorgon was removed, he would be able to show his ability and would be able to unify the whole country soon, but he did not expect that it would be the result today, and even half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River was lost! Guangdong and Zhejiang were in danger, and they would not know how long they could last, and they would be taken away by each other.

As for Wu Sangui, who had long been disobedient, the situation was no longer conducive to the Qing court. It was also possible for him to rebel. Now he kept in private contact with Li Dingguo and Li Guo to prove it.

Shunzhi was anxious every day, but he did not allow anyone to mention the three words Dorgon in front of him. As long as Dorgon was mentioned, he would go crazy. Dorgon had always been a shadow in Shunzhi's heart and could not be removed. Even if Dorgon was no longer in front of Shunzhi, even if Dorgon died, Shunzhi could not get out of this shadow.

He was unwilling to admit defeat, but he didn't believe it. Without Dorgon, he would not be able to clean up the country.

He called Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng to ask them what good ways they could get through this difficulty.

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng were both shaking their heads. The sudden change in the situation was too fast! They couldn't react. Even if they reacted, the other party was extremely powerful. Not to mention protecting the territory of the south, at least they had to be able to protect the northern Zhili area and protecting the capital was considered valuable.

The Qing Dynasty had moved its capital to Beijing. If Beijing was lost, it would be a huge blow to the Qing Dynasty. Although Shunzhi had the idea of ​​moving the capital, he was worried that Dorgon was still stationed in Shanhaiguan and that if he wanted to return to his hometown in Liaodong, he had to pass Shanhaiguan. In this way, he would give in to Dorgon.

Shunzhi frowned and started to feel bitter. He walked back and forth. The young emperor felt extremely pressured. Even if there were 300,000 or 400,000 people gathered near Beijing, can Zhang Biwu be quickly eliminated with this person?

Want to use all his strength to destroy Zhang Biwu? Shunzhi really thought about it, and he was almost crazy when he thought about it. In addition, he saw Zhang Biwu's manifesto again and wanted to fight him to the death and kill him, Huangkouzi. The manifesto always looked down on Shunzhi again and again. How could Shunzhi not be popular?

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng repeatedly persuaded Shunzhi to stop getting angry. If they were angry and sent troops, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty would be completely over. The current situation could not help but be willful and careless!

Shunzhi made up his mind and recognized the words of Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng. However, all the ministers were helpless about how to unify the world. At the beginning, as long as they thought that Dorgon would be able to do something in the future, they would be easy to deal with, but now the difficulties are speechless.

Shunzhi shouted: "Speak out! Didn't you say that as long as you drive the incompetent Dorgon out, you can offer me the plan to pacify the world? But now when you have difficulties, why are you two of you speaking out? Talking! Is there any good plan that can help me decide the world?"

The ministers lowered their heads, looking at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to respond again.

Shunzhi looked at his two masters and knew that in the end, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng would have to rely on them, and only the two could help everyone get through the difficulties together.

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng offered his advice. Shunzhi listened carefully to their plans, and he was nodding one after another! He was very happy that if these plans could be achieved, it would naturally be the best thing.

"Zheng Chenggong wants to regain Taiwan? Hehe! Well, don't worry about Zheng Chenggong's side for the time being! As for Zhang Biwu, I really couldn't imagine that he actually agreed with Zheng Chenggong and wanted to regain Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong! Will he just say it? If he really goes to regain Taiwan, the two gentlemen's clever plan will have the possibility of success! We can gain great benefits!" Shunzhi was very happy.

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng looked at each other, and they also found it incredible. Why did Zhang Biwu think about regaining Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong? Taiwan is a deserted island, what's there to fight for? I can't figure it out!

The plan proposed by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou was Dorgon. Dorgon wanted to lead his troops south to clean up the mess, but because Shunzhi was still worried about him now, he had to station in Shanhaiguan again.

On Zhang Biwu's side, he only wanted to occupy Jiangnan and was not in a hurry to go north to restore Beijing. He also knew that it was not easy to recapture Beijing. Occupy Jiangnan was also a good thing.
