Chapter 460: Hauge Strikes


Dorgon was busy setting up a trap for Hauge, and Hauge was not idle either.

The successive disastrous defeats of the Qing army made Hauge realize that the time had come to overthrow Dorgon.

He gathered a group of people to discuss secretly in the mansion, discussing how to attack Dorgon.

"Your Majesty, if you want Dorgon to give up the position of regent now, you can only use consecutive defeats as the entry point, pursue and fight fiercely, and there must be no hesitation at all."

"Of course I know this, but you have to think about how to attack and who will attack."

Hauge glanced at everyone in the hall and couldn't help but sneered when no one spoke up: "Why, they all retreated when the critical moment came."

No wonder Hauge asked.

After all, palace battles have always been a matter of life and death.

The more important the stakes are, the more cautious both parties are.

How each move should be made and the overall layout need to be carefully designed.

To take a step back, the people who jumped out to impeach Dorgon in the first place must not be from the Hauge faction, at least not so obviously.

Otherwise, it would give Dorgon a reason to change the subject and arrange it at will.

So the leader must appear to be a neutral.

Such people are not easy to find.

Hauge scanned everyone in the hall and still didn't find anyone suitable.

These people are more or less related to him.

It’s really rare to say that there is no connection at all.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered someone who should be suitable."

"Oh, tell me."

Hauge said unhurriedly.

"This person is Prince Li."

Hauge was stunned when he heard the word "Prince Li".

He never expected this answer.

Daishan was respected within the Qing court.

When Huang Taiji died, he remained neutral when Hauge and Dorgon were fighting for the throne.

He didn't say anything until the two sides fought to determine the outcome.

To say that neutrality represents kindness must be absolute neutrality.

But is it possible for such a person to expect him to help Hauge openly?

If he had been willing to help, wouldn't he have done so earlier?

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince Prince Li."

Even Hauge himself seemed lacking in confidence.

"In normal times, Prince Li would definitely not express his position easily.

But now is different from the past.

The Qing Dynasty is about to lose the Central Plains.

How can Prince Li not come out to take charge of the overall situation because of his high virtue and prestige?"

"you mean" "Your Majesty can take the initiative to go to Prince Li and promise him to resume the four Baylor's political affairs after the matter is completed."

"hiss" Hauge gasped when he heard this.

When his father, Huang Taiji, first came to the throne, he was still the Four Baylor model of political affairs.

Later, in order to centralize power, Huang Taiji carried out reforms to weaken the strength of the major Baylors and firmly hold power in his own hands.

The four Baylors' political affairs exist in name only.

Now that he proposes to restore the four major Baylors' political affairs, it is indeed very attractive to Daishan. but Hauge overthrew Dorgon just to replace him.

If he resumes the political affairs of the four Baylors and shares power with several other princes, he will be unwilling to do so.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a saying among the Han people, which is that if you don't let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf.

If your Majesty aspires to a great position, you should make the necessary compromises."

"Let me think about it again."

Hauge rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes to think about the pros and cons.

Daishan does not have the ambition to be an emperor.

It's okay to give him some power to some extent.

However, Dorgon is extremely ambitious and will be a huge threat to Hauge if he is not eliminated.

After weighing it up, he said in a deep voice: "That's all.

I will agree to cooperate with Prince Li.

But" He paused and then said: "This matter must not be known to others."

Admiral Cao Jiang and Jiangxi Governor Yuan Jixian immediately prepared for the expedition after receiving the imperial edict.

Now, although he does not have as many soldiers as Wen Anzhi and Du Yinxi, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Holy One gave him the important task of quelling the rebellion of King Gui, so he naturally did not dare to slack off at all.

It's just that the army is not just a matter of casual talk.

In addition to leaving tens of thousands of people to garrison out of the hundreds of thousands of people, even if 100,000 people were mobilized to go on an expedition, it would cost a lot just to eat horse chews every day.

The court would only provide part of these grains, leaving the rest to Yuan Jixian to raise on his own.

Although Jiangxi is a land of fish and rice, it is impossible to produce some food out of thin air.

After thinking about it, Yuan Jixian could only use the grain reserves in the rice warehouse.

These grains were originally intended for use in the Northern Expedition against the Tartars, but it was a pity that they would now be used to suppress the rebellion of King Gui.

Jiangxi does not lack ships, nor does it lack naval forces.

Therefore, Yuan Jixian prepared to dispatch the navy to cooperate with the land army to encircle the Gui King's rebels.

King Gui's rebellion gathered forces from the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

If they go north, they will definitely attack Jiangxi.

However, Yuan Jixian was prepared to strike first and mobilize troops to the border key points in advance to wait for work.

Yuan Jixian was very confident in the army he had personally trained.

His training methods are completely based on the way the emperor trained the Shence Army.

The trained soldiers have extremely high combat effectiveness, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary guard soldiers and recruited soldiers.

Especially in naval training, Yuan Jixian was very knowledgeable.

Jiang war and naval war are completely different.

Jiang Zhan emphasized that ships are more flexible, while naval battles are about whose ships are stronger and whose cannons are more powerful.

The navy trained by Yuan Jixian may not have a large single hull, but it is very light and flexible.

For example, some long boats and fast crabs can enter some narrow waterways, which ordinary lucky boats and wide boats cannot do.

Before this expedition, Yuan Jixian was also preparing to go to the naval station again.

Firstly, it is to encourage the navy officers and soldiers to mobilize, and secondly, it is also to conduct a review.

This battle is his first big battle since he also served as Admiral Cao Jiang, so he must exert his momentum to achieve results.

As for King Gui, just use it as his stepping stone.

Yuan Jixian is a resolute character who does everything he is told.

But he said that he immediately went to the navy camp with a group of soldiers.

Immediately after arriving, the navy officers and soldiers were gathered for a review at the school grounds.

Yuan Jixian said impassionedly: "You are all soldiers recruited by someone Yuan.

Do you remember why you want to be soldiers?"

"Northern Expedition" "Drive the Tatars out of prison" "Restore Shenjing" Yuan Jixian nodded with satisfaction after hearing these answers.

"You are right.

I boil your answers down to one point, which is to get back what belongs to us, what belongs to our sons of the Han family."

The crowd in the audience immediately became excited.

"The Governor is right, let's take back what belongs to us."

Yuan Jixian pressed his hands downward and then said: "But now the King of Gui is plotting to cause chaos in the court, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition may be affected.

Do you agree?"

"If you don't agree, I will never agree."

"Kill the King of Gui, kill the King of Gui, kill the King of Gui" :
