553 Crisis
Jianlu had two regents, but Daishan was old after all, and his ambition was suppressed by Huang Taiji for many years, so how could he be lost now?
Therefore, Daishan, the regent, was actually quite conscientious at the beginning, but after that, he no longer took care of the matter. Most of the things that happened to Jianlu were handled by Dorgon, the regent.
Dorgon is also willing to do this.
However, in this way, all the troubles were up to him.
For example, Jirgalang from Jinzhou sent a secret report that after Zu Dashou escaped, the Ming Dynasty might send cavalry out of the seclusion to raid the Mongolian tribe. How to deal with this matter depends on Dorgon.
After receiving this secret report, Dorgon was actually in a dilemma. If the Mongolian tribes were attacked by the Ming army at this time, they would have suffered heavy losses. However, it was not something that Dorgon would not want to ask him to immediately notify the elite troops of the Mongolian tribes and let them return to protect their own tribes.
If this is true, then he has planned the Dongjiang Army for so long, and Hong Chengchou's plan is likely to be successful. He just gave up like this, which is absolutely not possible!
Besides, after Zu Dashou escaped, the Ming army may only go out of the pass and attack. If it does not go out of the pass and the elite Mongolian cavalry will return, wouldn't it be a joke!
After thinking about it, Dorgon himself burned Jirgalang's secret report and thought it was not known about it!
Then, his attention was focused on farming. At the same time, he was also waiting for news from North Korea.
To be honest, Dorgon hoped that there would be success and destroy this Dongjiang army! So much so that he dreamed of this when he was still dreaming.
Waiting for something, especially something that is still very much anticipated, is often a torment.
Although Dorgon was deeply envious and did not show these things, he felt it during the interaction between Bumubutai, who had been sitting behind him.
However, her son is still young now, so she doesn't worry about politics.
After a few days, Dorgon once again received an urgent report from Jiergalang, indicating that the cavalry had indeed come out of seclusion, and the Ming Navy also had a big noise. In the unclear situation, Jinzhou could only take care of the hinterland of Liaodong first. As for the grassland, Shengjing decided to take it.
Even Jiergalang analyzed the large-scale use of the Ming Navy, and the huge navy could transport troops directly to Liaodong and avoid Jinzhou. Therefore, Jiergalang stated in an urgent report that the current Qing Dynasty's troops should not be dispersed too much. He believed that the troops in Jinzhou should be withdrawn back to Haizhou, increase the troops here, and defend Haizhou, Gaizhou and other places.
Seeing this urgent report, Dorgon's head hurts.
The Ming cavalry really had to raid the grassland, which made him a headache. If he immediately sent a message to the elite Mongolian cavalry in North Korea, he might have failed. If he didn't send a message to the past, the Mongolian troops would definitely suffer heavy losses.
For the Qing Dynasty, the strength of the Mongolian races in the eastern part was actually part of the strength of the Qing Dynasty. If the strength of the Mongolian races in the eastern part was damaged, it would be equivalent to the strength of the Qing Dynasty. If possible, Dorgon really didn't want to see these things.
However, whether the Dongjiang Army can be completely wiped out is related to whether the Qing Dynasty can get out of the predicament in the next few years. This matter has a great relationship with the future of the Qing Dynasty and cannot be missed.
In the end, the two evils were the least. Dorgon decided to wait until the Korean War ended.
Also, Dorgon also felt a headache about the military and horses in Jinzhou.
If the troops in Jinzhou are withdrawn, it means that the territory obtained in the previous Battle of Songjin is gone. This also means that the Qing Dynasty changed from an offensive posture to a defensive momentum.
Before, abandoning Ningyuan and other places had actually made the young and strong sects in Jianlu very dissatisfied. When the late emperor was alive, the Qing army was invincible and defeated the Ming army back to Shanhaiguan.
But now, the Qing Dynasty is going to retreat again and again. Is this Qing Dynasty still the original Qing Dynasty?
If Dorgon gave up Jinzhou again, he would be sure that many people would object. Even if he suppressed it, his prestige would definitely be damaged, and no one would consider it from a global perspective, thinking that doing so would be the most beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Dorgon was not stupid, so he went to Daishan's mansion to find Daishan who was recuperating at home to talk about this matter.
Although Dai Shan is old, he is not stupid. Such things are to be scolded by his tribe members. Anyway, he has no intention of taking charge of the matter anymore, so he shirks responsibility and lets Dorgon decide.
Of course, Dorgon couldn't really make a decision by himself, but as soon as he forced him, Dai Shan began to pretend to be sick: Oh, his head hurts, his waist hurts, etc., and then he went to rest.
Dorgon was helpless about this situation and had no way to deal with Dai Shan. Who told him to make decisions alone during this period, and Dai Shan was recuperating at home!
So, after thinking about it for a while, Dorgon decided to suppress this matter first and then talk about it later.
On this day, Dorgon was handling government affairs, and finally received a messenger sent from Zhenjiangbao to report information about North Korea.
I heard that it was sent by Zhenjiang Fort, and Dorgon's brush was shook: The news has finally been passed back!
In order to annihilate the Dongjiang Army, I really paid a lot of effort and a great price.
With such careful arrangements, Dorgon himself felt that if he was in the position of the Dongjiang Army, he would definitely be fooled.
Is the Qing Dynasty finally going to have no worries? Dorgon thought so, and suppressed the joy in his heart, but he just received the messenger with a faint expression.
A while later, Dorgon's angry roar sounded in Chongzheng Hall: "What, let the Dongjiang Army run away, unscathed? What's going on?"
His voice was so loud that he scared Emperor Shunzhi, who was the clay Buddha behind the pearl curtain. However, Bumubutai was right beside him and quickly comforted her son Fulin.
If it were normal, in this case, Dorgon would have to do superficial efforts to apologize to Emperor Shunzhi. However, this time he didn't care at all, just roaring at the messenger, as if the messenger was the culprit of the failure of this plan.
The messenger did not dare to neglect and quickly presented a memorial jointly signed by Ajige and Hauge. Needless to say, in this memorial, the culprit of the failure was the Koreans.
Dorgon was so angry that his hands that he was shaking when he saw this memorial.
After planning for so long, preparing for so much, and enduring unimaginable losses, it was betrayed by the North Koreans at the last moment, and it failed!
At this time, Dorgon's eyes were blood-red, like a crazy wild beast. If there were Koreans in front of him, he would definitely be swallowed alive and even his bones could be bitten to pieces.
He did not doubt the content of the memorial. Because the Koreans had a criminal record of having two or three sides. They often defected to the Qing Dynasty and then to the Ming Dynasty. This kind of thing has been done more than once or twice.
After a while, Dorgon calmed down after venting, and then faced another difficult problem.
If the Dongjiang Army was not eliminated, it would be impossible for the Qing Dynasty to draw the main force out of Liaodong. What should the Mongols do?
How many days have passed? The Mongolian tribe was raided by the Ming cavalry, which will definitely suffer heavy losses. If the Mongols saw this situation after they returned, they would definitely blame the Qing Dynasty for this matter.
Zu Dashou, who was in Shengjing, escaped back and told the Ming Dynasty about the elite Mongolian cavalry. The Qing Dynasty was definitely not to blame for this.
Moreover, the elite Mongolian cavalry left the tribe's location and did so at the request of the Qing Dynasty. Now that something happened, is the Qing Dynasty not responsible?
Not to mention, the Qing Dynasty ignored the Ming army's raid on the grassland. Of course, this can be forcibly denied, and I don't know that the Mongols could not say it.
If the war in North Korea destroyed the Dongjiang Army, there is actually room for improvement. At most, when the main force of the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it would be possible to give the stolen goods they had seized to these Mongolian tribes, and they could compensate them.
However, now, it is impossible.
After this incident, Dorgon could think with his toes that the Mongolian races in the eastern part would definitely disobey the Qing Dynasty's orders. Maybe it was possible to surrender to the Ming Kingdom. Because the people on the grassland believed that the strong prey on the weak and the strong were kings.
Now the elite Mongolian cavalry will soon return to Shengjing. How to deal with the matters in Mongolia must come up with a charter in advance!
This matter is the most important thing in the Qing Dynasty now!
Dorgon couldn't make the decision alone, so he went to Daishan again and secretly discussed the matter.
Although Dai Shan didn't want to take care of the affairs, this matter had a great impact on the Qing Dynasty, and it was far from comparable to whether he wanted to withdraw troops from Jinzhou before.
Dai Shan could distinguish the importance of the matter. After hearing Dorgon's purpose, he did not pretend to be sick anymore, but secretly discussed with Dorgon.
Afterwards, the two of them summoned Prince Beile in Shengjing, all of whom were Manchus. They did not discuss matters in Chongzheng Hall, but chose Daishan Mansion.
Naturally, Bumubutai and Emperor Shunzhi did not participate. Moreover, the Daishan Mansion also issued strict orders, and no one was allowed to walk around at will. The surroundings of the conference hall were all the personal guards of Daishan and Dorgon.
The meeting lasted for about two days. The leader of Jianlu who attended the meeting left with a serious expression.
Some sensitive people immediately felt that the atmosphere in Shengjing City seemed a little different.
However, for ordinary people, Shengjing is still the same Shengjing, and there is no difference.
On this day, Haoge led the elite Mongolian cavalry to finally return to Shengjing.
Dorgon and Daishan, the two regents, welcomed them out of the city together.
