In early August, in Beijing, the residence of the regent of the emperor.

The first half of this year was originally a very good year for the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing army won great victories in two battlefields, Sichuan and Huguang. Haoge led a large army to defeat Zhang Xianzhong and occupied most of Sichuan. Duoduo led his army into Huguang and defeated the Ming army in Huguang, which almost laid the overall situation of unifying the world.

But at this moment, bad news came from Jiangnan. Ruizhong Beilebolo, the general of the Qing Dynasty's southern expedition, was beaten to death by the Ming army.

The more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers were killed together with Boluo, and the offensive and defensive momentum of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was reversed.

As the news came to Beijing, the Eight Banners' family members in the city immediately cried, and every family was mourning, grief and angry, and they all asked for battle to avenge their relatives.

This shocked Dorgon and the Qing court. After taking a look, the Qing Dynasty had actually lost the three royal families of Tunqi, Nikan, Boluo in Jiangnan, as well as a group of war-torn generals such as Quintama and Li Rutai.

This has to attract attention from the Qing Dynasty. We must continue to let the Ming army in Zhejiang stolen. The essence of the Qing Dynasty may have been slowly consumed without realizing it.

At this time, at the regent's residence, Dorgon had a gloomy face and was sitting in the middle hall. Below were a man of Qing slaves wearing black official robes and red hats.

Everyone was lying on their heads and their butts were raised high to show their respect for their master.

At this time, Dorgon had a gloomy face: "It is not a pity to die Boluo. What is hateful is the lives of more than 10,000 Eight Banners Warriors in the Qing Dynasty." When he said this, Dorgon was almost bleeding inside.

The Eight Banners soldiers totaled less than 180,000. Many people died of illness after entering the pass. Now more than 10,000 people have been lost, and the losses of the Eight Banners soldiers have reached nearly 30,000.

This loss rate has exceeded the growth rate of the population of the Eight Banners, which has aroused the high-level Manchu nobles.

Among them, the Eight Banners of Han are quite easy to supplement. If the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia are really missing, one will die. If there are a few more wars, the Manchus will probably die.

Everyone in the hall was lying on the ground and did not dare to speak. Dorgon continued, "Who is Zhao Ming? If I remember correctly, the killing of Tunqi and Nikan is also related to him!"

He Luohui, the minister of the two white banners, said: "Reported to the Regent, Tunqi was shot by Zhao Manzi and Nikanbeile was captured in Suzhou. At that time, Zhao Manzi was also in the city."

Dorgon gritted his teeth, "I will definitely kill this barbarian!"

The people below agreed, Zhao Manzi deserves to die, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely avenge this.

Dorgon and others cursed for a while, feeling that they were not relieved of their hatred, so they waved their hand, "You know the situation in Zhejiang, too. I ask you, how should the Qing Dynasty solve the thief army in Zhejiang!"

Everyone was talking, and soon after, an official with a white face and a round face with two beards with horoscopes kowtowed and said, "Reporting to the Regent, the slave thought that although the bandit army won by chance in Zhejiang Province, the general trend has not changed. In the Qing Dynasty, we only need to maintain our existing advantages, consolidate the local area, and destroy the false Ming Dynasty!"

The person who spoke was Fan Wencheng, one of the main think tanks of the Qing court.

When Dorgon saw him talking, he decided to listen carefully, "You can tell me in detail!"

Fan Wencheng said with a polite manner: "The Regent, the slave looked at the situation in Zhejiang in detail. King Yu had already been pacified, but now the bandit army has risen again. The reason is that after the imperial court captured, the remaining enemies were completely resolved, the local area was cleaned up, and officials were sent to manage it, and the main force was withdrawn, which led to the resurgence of the bandits."

Dorgon nodded. This is indeed the case. The previous turmoil in Jiangnan was also due to the withdrawal of the Qing army to the south to escape the summer heat.

Dorgon said in a deep voice: "What you mean is that this time we mobilize troops and completely solve Zhejiang. But Huguang and Sichuan will be like Zhejiang again!"

Fan Wencheng looked up at Dorgon and quickly explained: "What a slave means is that the Qing Dynasty has now gained an advantage. As long as the results are consolidated, the general trend of the world will be irreversible. The Qing Dynasty does not have to be so anxious at all. Before the Qing Dynasty can clear, it is in a hurry to attack another place!"

Dorgon frowned and said, "What do you mean is to let the Zhejiang thieves temporarily go?"

Fan Wencheng said: "The Regent, the Qing Dynasty has already occupied eight parts of the world for two years, and the expansion is not unpleasant. For the Qing Dynasty, if the army progresses smoothly, it is a good thing, but if the army progresses poorly, it will be like Li Zicheng. The slaves think that the Regent does not need to rush to wipe out the Zhejiang thieves, but should stabilize the north and the newly occupied Sichuan and Huguang lands, and send an elite force to support the stability of the situation in Jiangnan. When the imperial court will straighten the geography of the occupied government, wipe out bandits from all over the country, and use the Qing Dynasty's manpower and material resources to destroy the false Ming Dynasty, it is easy to get rid of the hands of the pseudo-Ming!"

When Dorgon heard the words, he understood Fan Wencheng's meaning. Eight parts of the world were in the Qing Dynasty, and most of the granaries and fertile land fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

As long as the Qing Dynasty ruled firmly in these places and could call on the manpower and material resources in these places, the Pseudo-Ming is no enemy at all.

Two years after entering the pass, the Qing army fought one after another, and was indeed a little tired. Moreover, to wipe out Zhejiang, a large number of troops must be drawn from Huguang, and it is inevitable that there will be repeated recurrences in the Huguang battlefield.

This makes people demolish the east wall and repair the west wall.

Dorgon pondered for a while and nodded, "The counterattack of Zhejiang's bandits may not be a relief for Huguang! Under the shaving order, all places have been cleaned up. It is indeed an excellent opportunity for our Qing Dynasty to restore the local area and establish rule."

Dorgon changed his voice, "However, the bandit army occupied western Zhejiang and threatened Yuhang and Jiangning, and the troops still had to be transferred!"

The Qing Dynasty still had 150,000 Eight Banners, and the Green Camp soldiers were as many as 800,000, and the troops were quite strong. However, although there were many people and horses, they could be used to support the troops in Jiangnan, but they were limited.

After all, most of the Green Camp soldiers can only be used to defend the local area and wipe out a small number of rebels, and there is no hope for a large war.

The green camp soldiers that the Qing Dynasty could use, namely Wu Sangui's Guanning Army, Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Wang Yongqiang, Gao Di, and the elite surrendered people in the five towns of Hongguang, would not exceed 300,000.

Among them, Jiang Xiang, Wang Yongqiang and others had to guard against the Mongols, and these warlords would not be willing to leave their nests and go to Jiangnan to fight.

Now the main force of the Qing army is divided into three battlefields: Sichuan, Huguang and Jiangxi. If you want to reinforce Jiangnan, you can only mobilize troops from Beijing and Huguang, which has strong troops.

Dorgon said in a deep voice: "Send the order and order Duoduo to send 20,000 elite troops to reinforce Jiangnan, and then order Mandahai to lead 10,000 flag soldiers to go south to replace Boluo and preside over Jiangnan military affairs!"

Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said, "The Regent, wisely, the Qing Dynasty consolidated the local area, integrated the north and the newly occupied enemy, and accumulated strength. During this period, we can continue to surrender Zheng Zhilong and differentiate and disintegrate the false Ming. Now, the false Ming Dynasty is now under the pressure of our Qing Dynasty. Once the pressure is loosened, with the nature of a barbarian, there will inevitably be internal struggles. At that time, after our Qing Dynasty accumulates its strength, we will be able to defeat the enemy with the momentum of Mount Tai."

At this time, because the Qing Dynasty expanded too quickly, there were indeed many internal problems.

When the Qing army continued to achieve military victories in front of the Qing army, perhaps these problems were suppressed and not so important. Once the military was frustrated, it would break out.

Locally, the Qing Dynasty needed to restore order, establish strict rule, clear out the anti-Qing army, and stabilize the local area.

In terms of people's livelihood, the Qing Dynasty needed to resume production in order to obtain stable taxes and money and grain.

In the army, it is also necessary to reorganize the green camp and strengthen control over the army.

These things were not done because they were busy with the battle. Dorgon couldn't help but nodded slightly, "I will retract my punches first, accumulate strength, and then knock down the pseudo-ming with one punch!"

It's like two people fighting. After one punch, they don't knock down the enemy. At this time, they naturally have to withdraw their punches and accumulate strength and then make a fatal blow.

Dorgon stood up and looked ruthless, "As long as I integrate eighth of the world, establish direct rule, and control the grain in Huguang and Sichuan, the amount of pseudo-Ming cannot make any trouble!"
