424 The Battle of Advance and Retreat

No matter how capable a person is, he cannot be enemies with the world. Dorgon understands this truth deeply. Besides, Dai Shan is the real power figure and the emperor's brother Da Beile. He has a high prestige among the clan. No matter how dissatisfied, he cannot scold him in public.

If you can't scold me, then let's have a good talk.

So, Dorgon brought the group from afar to the lobby of the Hanzhong Prefecture Office, and asked his servants to serve cakes and tea and refreshments. After he took them back, he was Dorgon's brother and loyal to the pump. Ajige said in a bad tone: "Now is the troublesome time in our Qing Dynasty. If you don't take care of the government and patrol military affairs, why do you come to Hanzhong to do one by one?"

Prince Su Haoge looked angry: "It turns out that the emperor knew that it was a troublesome now. After such a long time, the land had not been captured by an inch, but our tribe members suffered unprecedented losses. In just one month, more than 2,000 people died. Those thieves reached out to our hometown in Jianzhou. Do you know how many orphans and widows were cut off their heads?"

Haoge had too many complaints about the Dorgon brothers. His father Huang Taiji died so suddenly that he did not even leave a will. As the eldest son and has made many military achievements, Haoge had the most hope to sit on the dragon throne, but he met an emperor with great ability and ambition. He would have been in a very unlucky way. If it weren't for the old ministers who forced him to die, Dorgon might have become the emperor and would have abandoned his corpse in the wilderness.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not have the tradition of inheriting the eldest son but not the youngest son. For example, Huang Taiji was not the eldest son, but he still became the emperor. Although Dorgon was the fourteenth son, he naturally had the idea of ​​"the capable ones". Under the tug-of-war, his younger brother Shunzhi, who was still breastfeeding, picked up the bargain.

Haoge regards the Dorgon brothers as enemies, and the enemy is naturally very jealous when they meet. If you have the chance to criticize them,

"What, blame us?" Azige was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Haoge's nose and cursed: "You little bastard, we brothers are fighting bloody in front of us. What are you doing when we ride horses and kill enemies? You are counting silver and playing with women. You live so comfortable. The warehouse is full of food and the boxes are full of gold and silver. You can call slaves and drink maids. Don't think about which one was the one who fought. Is it your turn to talk here?"

"Hmph. If I were asked to play the vanguard, it would definitely be more than this."

"Okay, can you grow wings? OK, if you have the ability, you can attack Sichuan. If you take Sichuan, you don't have to call me the emperor, I'll call you uncle."

"you……"

With a "bang", Dai Shan slapped the table hard and shouted: "It's enough. I'll sit down, but I still think it's not messy enough."

The two red flags in hand, the big bells on their body, Daishan has a great prestige. Seeing that the two were like roosters to fight, Daishan immediately shouted and stopped.

Daishan was Haoge's reliance and backer. He glared at Ajige angrily and then he was a little unwilling to sit down. Although Ajige stopped saying anything, he still stood with anger on his face. Haoge was afraid of Daishan. It does not mean that Ajige was afraid. In Ajige's eyes, his younger brother Dorgon deserves respect.

"Brother, sit down first. They are all your own people. If you have something to say, don't let someone laugh at." Seeing Dai Shan talking, Dorgon called out the furious Ajige.

When he heard that it was Dorgon who spoke, Ajige then sat down as he said.

The Dorgon brothers were indeed united. Dai Shan said in his heart. After Ajige sat down, he smiled and said to Dorgon: "Fourth brother, Ningqiangzhou won a great victory in one battle and wiped out the Sichuan army in the city. It can be said that we were angry with us. The news came back and everyone celebrated. Even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were very happy. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to reward him heavily. The Fourteenth brother is really worthy of being the Dinghai Sword Needle of the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone loves to listen to good things. If these words come from the mouth of a flatterer, Dorgon would not care, but these words come from Dai Shan’s mouth, and they are much more valuable. If you say this, Dorgon couldn’t say politely: “Something needs little merit, why not mention it. The emperor is loving.”

Dai Shan was determined to make the atmosphere well, and Dorgon was willing to cooperate because both of them knew that now the enemy was in front of him, and if they were in harmony, they would benefit; if they were not in harmony, they would lose. Even if they fought for power and profit, they would have to deal with the current difficulties. Besides, Shunzhi is still too young now, and it is still far from his adult rule, and there is still plenty of time.

After making courtesy, Dai Shan said straight to the point: "Fourth brother, everyone present is his own people, so let's go straight to the point. This time, the labor force mobilized many people to come to find you. It was really a forced act, because you are far away in Hanzhong, and there is so much inconvenience in communication and the situation is critical, so we have to come and disturb you."

Dorgon was the regent and took over the power of the Qing Dynasty. He was not here and many major events could not be decided smoothly. Seeing that the emotions within the clan were rising and the conflicts increased, the powerful and wealthy headed by Drashen had to take the initiative to coordinate.

Dorgon hurriedly said, "I dare not, the emperor also puts the overall situation first. I have worked hard all the way."

"It's all for the Qing Dynasty." Dai Shan smiled bitterly: "Recently, our tribe members have been attacked repeatedly, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger. Even Jianzhou is not spared. The tribe members have great opinions. Is there no proper solution for the emperor?"

"It's all the damn Killing Ling. Those Sichuan dogs are so hateful that they dare not fight us in a decisive battle. The most hateful thing is that the silver we bought in the previous firearms is now asked to him to use as a bounty, but the ammunition needed for these firearms can only be purchased from him. Once he cut off the supply, the new type of firearms we bought for a lot of money is not even comparable to the fire stick."

Dorgon really wanted to vomit blood. When buying firearms, it was Sichuan's price all over the place, and he had no room to bargain. In order to buy firearms, he was just a grandson. Sichuan wanted the beauty of the Qing Dynasty, and he also gritted his teeth and sent it. Unexpectedly, he broke it off just by saying that. Before cutting off the supply, he even ruthlessly rudely made a fortune. Whenever he thought of this, Dorgon had the urge to vomit blood.

That kind of hatred was like a surging river, continuous. If Sichuan Governor Lu Haoshan was placed in front of Dorgon, Dorgon would have the urge to rush up and bite him to death.

Feeling that he was a little off-limited, Dorgon immediately explained: "I am also extremely sad about the attack on the tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe's tribe cannot go out alone, and the second is to strengthen patrols in various places and introduce road guides and joint positions. At present, it seems that the effect is quite good. Those people hunt headhunting mainly to get bounties. We strengthen patrols on the Sichuan border and cut off their transactions. If the bounty cannot be cashed out, it will naturally undermine their enthusiasm."

"There is a saying in the Central Plains that the people who tie the bells must also be tied. This time the source was in Sichuan. Now, Sichuan has come out in full swing to avenge Ningqiangzhou. They worked hard to expedition. We waited for the terrain and had the advantage of the terrain. As long as they were completely defeated, the danger of the attack of the tribe will naturally be solved."

Hearing Dorgon's words, the people present looked at each other, Prince Zheng Jiergalang coughed dryly, and said helplessly: "Although Sichuan has a small number of people, it is extremely powerful in combat. It can be seen from his ease of defeating the million-dollar Western Army that a new mysterious weapon grenade has been released, which has caused great restraint on our Manchu Iron Cavalry. Fourteenth brother, are you confident about this strong enemy?"

"Yes," said the Minister of Political Consultative Affairs, "In the two battles in Ningqiangzhou, the Sichuan Army showed great combat effectiveness. Our Qing tribe entered the Central Plains and the front line was too long. The troops were too short. We must be very cautious in this battle. Besides, there is still the Nanming staring at us, so we should not be underestimated."

Dorgon's face froze. He glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Saying these words is simply awesome to others. He destroys his ambitions. Sichuan is only a few hundred thousand people. Now our Qing Dynasty has more than one million soldiers and civilians, so why fear it."

After saying that, he continued to ask: "What do you mean?"

No one spoke, but turned his attention to Daishan. It was obvious that this was to Daishan.

Seeing this scene, Dai Shan said helplessly: "Fourth brother, this is the case. Many brothers in the clan think that the front line is too long and the Central Plains is too large. Our Qing Dynasty has a small population and it is difficult to swallow it. It is best to take advantage of the victory, negotiate with Sichuan, divide and govern it, and turn swords into jade. Even if we cannot reach an agreement, we must strengthen the defense of Jianzhou and not discard it. It is best to transport the goods we collected back in batches for construction. When we recover, we will make plans."

Dorgon understood the purpose of these people. Dai Shan said so much before, but he revealed one information, that is, the Qing Dynasty has made enough money now, and there is no need to work harder. If you can make peace, just make peace. If you can't make peace, then leave the Central Plains, and go outside the pass to be a rich man and a romantic and happy life. If you can't afford to offend us, we won't be able to run away, so that we can't even run away when we get it.

When you have no money, you are barefoot and don’t worry about wearing shoes. If you have a bad life, it’s different now. If you occupy so many places and steal so much wealth, you can be a rich man happily. If you have a lot of money and weak body, why bother to work hard?

Dorgon wanted to laugh, these people were so naive and cute.

"Hahaha" Dorgon suddenly laughed loudly, laughing a little boldly, and even a little unscrupulous.

"Fourth brother, why are you laughing at?" Prince Zheng Jirhalang said with some dissatisfaction.

After laughing, Dorgon said coldly: "It's nothing, I laugh at you too naive."

"Uncle Emperor, what do you mean? Everyone can come to you for discussion without having to go thousands of miles away. Don't hurt others." Haoge's face turned red and he said with a look of indignation.

Seeing that the two of them wanted to arguish, Dai Shan quickly stood up and explained: "Okay, since I say I'm naive, 14th brother, tell me your opinion."

Dorgon looked around everyone, then said with a serious look: "The arrow is not turned back. Since we have taken the first step, we must naturally go on firmly. If we retreat, for the sake of justice, they can use the blood and heads of our Qing Dynasty Eight Banners to establish a reputation for them, but not for justice. We robbed so many gold, silver and wealth from the Central Plains to return to Jianzhou. How can those people not be jealous? People die for money and birds die for food. At that time, we will face endless troubles. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but fear of thieves remembering them. I guess you have heard this old saying."

Sighing, seeing that everyone did not speak, Dorgon continued, "Also, Ningqiangzhou city, we killed the Sichuan army of about 15,000. The Sichuan Governor blocked the mountain without regard for the heavy snow, and immediately came out. I heard that Sichuan people were extremely protective of their shortcomings, and they said that even if those who violated Sichuan would be punished, we would escape outside the pass. I am afraid that this Lu person would not give up. The most important thing is that now we occupy the most prosperous place in the Central Plains, and there are so many elite soldiers and generals under our command. The Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are all at their peak. It can be said that the soldiers and generals are rich in food and grass, and Sichuan only has one province, so they can't defeat Sichuan. At that time, it occupies several provinces and uses more resources. At that time, it will become more difficult to deal with. Do you still want to leave?"

Dorgon's words made the faces of many people present who were returning to their hometown in Jianzhou to enjoy wealth and prosperity suddenly become complicated. Only then did everyone realize that they were already deeply trapped in it and could not get out at will.

Dai Shan was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Did you hear that? You are a stingy family and you will not be able to accomplish any big things sooner or later. It's still the 14th brother who thinks carefully. You have to learn more."
