As he said that, he looked at Zhou Xian and said, "Wang Zi, you did a good job in Shandong. Although there are still many shortcomings, you try to make the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment. If you finally sit in the world, it will be a blessing for the people in the world. But at present, I think it is not suitable for you to be the emperor."

Zhou Xian curled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "I don't think it's suitable either."

Li Yan stared at Zhou Xian in a daze, wondering if he was a joke or if he really thought so.

Seeing Li Yan's face full of confusion, Zhou Xian said slowly: "This time, the rebel army and the Manhulu fought many times. I think you should have a deep understanding of their combat effectiveness. Brother Li. The soldiers are not afraid of death, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and can still launch a counterattack in a very short time after suffering huge losses. If it weren't for their small number, the world would undoubtedly be theirs. Even so, they still rely on those few people to capture the capital and occupy the northern land. They are currently carrying out imperial examinations to win over the northern gentry to serve them. It has to be said that Dorgon is still very good at this. As long as he is given several months, the northern land will probably be completely in love with the Manhulu, and it may not be impossible to seize the entire world in the future."

Li Yan nodded and agreed.

As Zhou Xian said before, the rebel army did too many stupid things in the capital, and these became references for the Qing Dynasty rule.

They changed their nature of killing at will and strictly restrained their soldiers. The group of beasts that entered the pass to burn, kill, loot, have now become disciplined and righteous troops.

Moreover, they were extremely dedicated to winning over the northern squire.

He worshiped Emperor Chongzhen, repaired his tomb, and told him that he had been fed and fed for his country without surrendering. While erecting the glorious image of Emperor Chongzhen, he portrayed the crimes of the rebel army that forced him to commit suicide, which were extremely unbearable.

When Li Yan learned about the Qing army's actions from various information brought by Zhou Xian, he almost vomited blood.

But he had to admit that this was very effective for the gentry. Most of them regarded the rebel army as a vanguard and regarded them as sinners who destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

Sacrifice to Emperor Chongzhen is equivalent to declaring to the people of the world that the Qing Dynasty had obtained the orthodox world from the Ming Dynasty.

Criticize the rebels and seek the recognition of the gentry and the old Ming officials.

Dorgon basically gave high positions to those old Ming officials who surrendered to him. He also treated ordinary scholars with great courtesy, allowing them to serve the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the torture and wages committed by the treason army after entering Beijing, it can be said to be a world of difference.

In particular, Dorgon also brought Emperor Shunzhi from Liaodong to the capital. They were showing the people of the world that they had the confidence and determination to enter the Central Plains like the Mongol Yuan, and would not be easily driven out.

The hearts of the people in the north are indeed gradually tilting towards the Qing Dynasty.

Li Yan frowned and said, "Dorgon is treacherous. Although these are superficial skills, they can indeed achieve the effect of winning the hearts of the people. After a long time, I am afraid that no one will even care about the difference between China and the barbarians. Alas! I didn't expect that the King of Breaking into the capital and finally got the advantage of the Manchu alien race. Is this the so-called destiny of heaven?"

Zhou Xian shouted "Hao" and said with contempt: "The fate of heaven is coming. Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. If the captains will win the world, it is the result of God's decision, then I will smash this heaven."

Li Yan was stunned for a while and didn't say anything. He usually didn't believe what others said. But he was more inclined to believe what Zhou Xian said.

Zhou Xian said: "In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Dorgon's pretentious behavior will not last long. Now it is still far from his complete control of the north!"

"Oh?" Li Yan obviously didn't believe it.

Zhou Xian smiled, "What do you think the Manchus came to pass after Dorgon to the pass? They came to enjoy happiness and rob things. When they were in Liaodong, they treated the Han people as horses and cattle-like animals. Did they suddenly change their temperament when they arrived in the Central Plains and regard them as guests of honor? Do you think they would agree with the benefits they received to the Han people who seemed useless to them?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "The world is so big. Even if you divide a little bit, the big head will still fall into their hands in the end. It is impossible for Dorgon to see this? He will try his best to balance it."

Zhou Xian said: "Of course Dorgon could see it, but the uncivilized generals under his command may not be. Like the old Ming princes and princes, most of them were short-sighted idiots. After all, the Qing Dynasty built a country by force and despised civilized rule. Maintaining rule was mainly due to those illiterate bannermen who fought against the Han gentry. Dorgon could not offend them in order to win over the Han gentry. The bannermen felt that the Han people were useless, and the Han people felt that the Bannermen were stupid savages. Over time, fierce conflicts would inevitably break out between the two. If Dorgon could continue to win, this contradiction could be suppressed. But if he could not, the scene would be wonderful. Besides..."

Zhou Xian curled his lips, "After so many years of famine, fertile fields were deserted, and thieves were everywhere, there was no much savings. The canal to the north was completely blocked by me, and Dorgon had no capital to be gentle with the people in the north. On the contrary, if he made harsh actions of the people, the disaster would last forever."

As he said that, Zhou Xian's lips raised, with a smile almost empty. "Brother Li, before the rebel army evacuated the capital, I sent two groups of troops north to Shanxi and Hebei to connect the local anti-Qing forces and cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. As of now, they are doing pretty well. Moreover, in the capital, there are also some officials who temporarily surrender to the Qing Dynasty after obeying my orders. In the future, they will play a big role."

Li Yan nodded and asked, "You suddenly increased your troops to Julu a month ago and crossed Cangzhou to raid the Tangtong army. Is it just to restrain the Qing army? They cannot deal with the anti-Qing forces in Hebei and Shanxi with all their hearts?"

Zhou Xian smiled, "You can see it from these pond newspapers! Yes, news came from the capital that Dorgon was preparing to mobilize the army to deal with them, and I just messed up. In fact, now I am implementing a rotation system, constantly transferring soldiers in the rear to the front line, pulling those in the front line down and resting. We launched an attack on the Qing army from all over the place, both training troops and disturbing them. This is similar to Sun Wu's fatigue strategy."
