Zhang Huangyan, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked at the miasma of Nanjing City being made by Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, how could the two of them be trusted by Emperor Guangwu, and he had nothing to do.The former Ming ministers who can survive until now are all relatively slippery.He didn't care about anything on the surface, and did not compete with Jin and Wang for power, but secretly wrote to Zhang Mingzhen, asking him not to attack Fujian and Guangdong first.Zhang Mingzhen's men were too few to contend with Jin and Wang in terms of strength, and only by uniting external forces could they regain control of the imperial court.Zheng Chenggong of Fujian had taken them in in the past and had dealings with them, and if he could persuade Zheng Chenggong to abandon Yongli and take refuge in Guangwu, it would be enough to fight against Jin and Wang.But Zheng Chenggong knew Zhu Yihai too well, and knew that he was not as good as Yongli, so he didn't pay attention to Zhang Huangyan's overtures.Zhang Huangyan secretly sent someone to contact Li Chengdong again.Li Chengdong was bullied by Zheng Chenggong, and Yongli didn't give him the master, so he was angry in his heart, saying that there was still hope for him to change the court.Li Chengdong has been operating in Guangdong for many years, and it is impossible for him to throw Guangdong north to deal with Jin and Wang, but instead ask Zhang Mingzhen to fight with him in the north and south, first help him destroy Zheng Chenggong, and then he will pack up his army and go north to King Qinwang in Nanjing.Zhang Huangyan received Zhang Mingzhen's report, and said in his heart that as long as Li Chengdong had the intention of moving, this matter would be easy to do.He wrote another letter to Li Chengdong, asking him to recognize the Guangwu regime anyway, and then Zhang Mingzhen could lead his army into Fujian to help him fight Zheng Chenggong.At the same time, he also told Zheng Chenggong that Li Chengdong had promised to return to Shun, if you still keep Yongli, we will be enemies, and the court will send troops to attack you.Zheng Chenggong didn't want to protect Guangwu, so he told Li Dingguo about it.Li Dingguo pondered for a while, and if he wanted not to kill each other, I am afraid that he would not be able to.He must quickly deal with Sun Kewang first, and then work with Zheng Chenggong to attack Li Chengdong from east to west, and after destroying Li Chengdong, go north to extinguish Guangwu.He played this matter to Emperor Yongli, Yongli had no idea, since it was to restore the Ming Dynasty, then do it.As a result, Li Dingguo gathered a large army and moved closer to the border of Guangxi, and a war of "fighting in the nest" was about to begin.At this time, what is Dolgon in Beijing doing, alas, this imperial father regent is a little miserable for a while.In the Battle of Xuzhou, most of the main forces of the Qing court were wiped out by Wang Shuo, and the Han officials who surrendered north of the Yellow River began to move their hearts.Wang Shuo's spies were active everywhere, plotting rebellion everywhere, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty rebelled against Ming officials in Liaodong.Dolgon saw that he could not keep the north of the Yellow River, so he had to dispatch the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division, and under the threat of the army, he dismissed many local Han officials who were obviously wrong, punished the criminals, and then replaced them with Manchu officials.There are too few Manchurian officials who have the ability to govern the locality, and they are good at burning, killing and looting, and it is a layman to govern the people.As a result, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi were not at peace in all directions, and the people were unable to survive by the full of officials, so they could only gather the mountains and forests for thieves, plus some anti-Qing righteous people who did not forget the previous Ming Dynasty instigated from it, and rose up everywhere.The Manchu court, except for the city of Beijing, did not have a stable place.Fortunately, Sonny kept 40,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly attacked, and the uprising in Shandong was quickly suppressed.Dolgon ordered Zilharang to lead troops to suppress the rebellion of Hebei Zhili.The Manchu soldiers were brutal, the uprising was suppressed, and the people were basically killed.In such a situation, it is no wonder that Dolgon can't take care of Xuzhou, so he can only leave them to fend for themselves.The key is that with such a method, without the Han people to grow food to support them, can they still hold the Yellow River and resist Wang Shuo's attack, Dolgon is worried, and the Manchu and Han ministers in the cabinet are also worried.I'm afraid that the north of the Yellow River can't be defended, and Beijing is choking enough, so it's best to retreat to Liaodong, manage it well, and wait for the Central Plains to have another opportunity like the one in the Ming Dynasty, and then we will kill it back.With a commander like Wang Shuo, will there be such an opportunity, Dolgon is angry, let you give me a way to defend the Central Plains, what bad idea do you all have to retreat to Liaodong, Wang Shuo wants to fight to Liaodong, and then we will return to Salhu.He's going to fight again to Sarhu, and then we're going to go back to the old city of Hetuala.In the end, there was nowhere to retreat, so we simply left the city and surrendered to Wang Shuo.Is this idea still used by you to come up with a bunch of rubbish at a critical time, and he still has to count on the Han people.Hong Chengchou was trapped in Xuzhou City, and he couldn't come back, so he had to ask Fan Wencheng.Since the defeat of the Qing army at Tongguan, Fan Wencheng has been worried.He looked farther and knew that Wang Shuo was the nemesis of the Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't go toe-to-toe with him.Therefore, he advocated retreating the main force of the Qing army to the north of the Yellow River, concentrating his forces, and reorganizing again, in order to resist Wang Shuo's development to the Central Plains.Dolgon didn't listen to him, and he had to fight Wang Shuo in the Central Plains.The result of the decisive battle was expected by him before the fight.Seeing the Qing army going to perdition, he was anxious and soon fell ill.Dorgon convened a cabinet meeting, which he did not attend due to illness.Cabinet ministers, chickens talk about ducks, and none of the ideas sound effective.The more Dolgon listened, the more annoyed he became, and hurriedly ended the cabinet meeting and went to Fan Wencheng's mansion to visit the sick, and by the way, asked the old fellow what he had in mind.Fan Wencheng was only fifty-four years old at this time, and he was not very old, but he was in a hurry, occasionally feeling cold, and he had no strength to speak and walk, but he couldn't stop him from thinking.Hearing that the regent of the emperor's father came in person, Fan Wencheng barely supported it, supported by his family, and personally greeted him at the middle gate.Dolgon, who was counting on the old fellow's idea, was very polite, but let him lie down on the bed, and move a chair himself, sit on the side of the bed, and the two of them talked.Fan Wencheng was moved to tears and thanked him repeatedly.Dorgon told him not to be polite.The country has reached a critical moment, and it is related to overturning, so let's talk about national affairs first.At the beginning, the main force of the Qing Dynasty still existed, and Wang Shuo took the Yellow River as the boundary, and then beat Nanming and Wang Shuo to compete for the north of the Yangtze River, and the Qing Dynasty may profit from it, and there is still hope to keep half of the Central Plains.At this point, Fan Wencheng is also lacking in skills and has no way.He knew that with Dorgon's character, he would definitely not accept the reality of quitting Beijing and returning to Liaodong, and to say this was tantamount to not saying it.In the past few days of recuperating at home, he was thinking about how to concentrate his troops again to keep the Yellow River defense line.Now that Dorgon asked, he gave what he had come up with for a few days.Today's Qing Dynasty, compared with Wang Shuo, has not much advantage, and only by using all the power that can be used can it confront Wang Shuo.Therefore, he proposed a solution for Dorgon's reference.When Dolgon heard it, don't say it, at the critical moment, this old guy is still powerful, much better than the waste in the cabinet
