"Uncle Wang, you have come to visit me in person. What can I do for you?" Man Dahai was a little surprised when he saw Dorgon.
Dorgon put his hands behind his back and laughed, "I have asked you to come and discuss an important matter."
"Uncle Wang, it's better if you don't say anything!" Man Dahai seemed to be reminding, but also seemed to be... warning.
In fact, he had already guessed what Dorgon was thinking without Dorgon saying anything.
The purpose was simply to take advantage of Jirgalang's defeat to win him over and fight for power in the court.
As Prince Li of the Qing Dynasty and leader of the Zhenghong Banner, he should be loyal to the court and the emperor.
Instead of the Uncle Wang in front of him.
"Man Dahai," Dorgon called him by his name, "I have only one thing to say this time. Do you want to listen or not?"
Man Dahai hesitated for a long time, and then nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, please speak."
"There will be a bloodless fight at the court tomorrow. I hope you won't take sides and stay neutral!"
"Huh?" Man Dahai was very surprised, "Are you serious, Uncle Wang?"
"How could what I said personally be false?"
"If that's the case, Uncle Wang doesn't have to come in person. He can just send someone to deliver a message." Man Dahai relaxed his tense nerves and spoke slowly.
"That won't do," Dorgon shook his head. "You are not only a prince of the Qing dynasty, but also my nephew. It is reasonable for me to come here in person."
"Uncle Wang is so annoying," Man Dahai said, somewhat flattered.
Seeing that Man Dahai had let down his guard, Dorgon chatted with him for a while and then suddenly asked, "My dear nephew, are you ready for tomorrow's court meeting?"
"Prepare?" Man Dahai was startled. "Prepare for what?"
"He was stripped of his post and punished!" Dorgon spread his hands, as if to remind or warn: "Li Dingguo's army arrived at the city of Shenyang. He first killed He Luohui and Kong Youde, and then burned all the food and grass in Liaoyang and Haizhou."
"You will not forget this great humiliation, my dear nephew?"
"This..." Man Dahai had been on guard against Dorgon and had indeed put this matter behind him.
Now that Dorgon brought up the old matter again, he was immediately put into trouble again.
Seeing Man Dahai's tangled and uncomfortable look, Dorgon added fuel to the fire: "In fact, these responsibilities are not all my nephew's. Jirgalang should bear at least half. After all, you are just a general under his command, and he is the general who commands the three armies!"
half?
I can’t even bear half of it!
If calculated based on the standard of Hauge being imprisoned in the palace after his defeat in Ningyuan, the deprivation of his title would be a light punishment for Man Dahai, and he might even be imprisoned.
After all, Hauge only lost his troops, while he not only lost his troops, but also lost the Eight Banners, the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's face.
Thinking of this, Man Dahai's heart began to churn.
Just as he was about to ask Dorgon what to do, he suddenly realized that he had almost fallen into Dorgon's trap.
He and Jirgalang were indeed guilty.
But the current situation of the Qing Dynasty is very serious. It lacks soldiers, generals and commanders!
Unless Fulin suddenly goes crazy, he will not engage in internal strife at this time.
Change your mindset.
He and Jirgalang controlled four flags in total. As long as the two of them united, Fulin could not touch them.
After thinking this through, Man Dahai stood up and said, "I appreciate Uncle Wang's kindness. Guilty is guilt, and I am willing to bear the consequences!"
"Are you sure?" Dorgon also stood up, his eyes full of threats.
"Nephew is sure," Man Dahai said unconcernedly.
"Well, I won't beg for mercy for you tomorrow."
"Uh..." Man Dahai was a little scared again, "We are all family, why did Uncle Wang do such a drastic thing?"
"No," Dorgon said helplessly, "You don't want to plead for you, but I can't not plead for you either. What do you want me to do?"
"What exactly does Uncle Wang want to do?" Man Dahai stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Don't take sides, stay neutral!" Dorgon repeated his previous words.
"My nephew will only be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the current emperor."
"I didn't ask you to betray the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor." Dorgon promised.
Remain neutral and do not betray the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor.
This condition was consistent with Man Dahai's original intention, so he nodded and agreed: "Nephew, I understand. I will ask Uncle Wang to help plead for mercy in front of the emperor tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I will keep my word." After saying this, Dorgon stood up and said goodbye.
Then he came to Luo Luohun's mansion.
Luo Luohun stayed in Shengjing all the time. He neither participated in the wars in Guangning and Dalinghhe, nor did he have any evidence in the hands of Dorgon.
So Dorgon’s strategy is: bribery!
What was Dorgon’s main business in southern Liaoning?
It's not a war at all, it's smuggling!
Because the Ming army did not launch a large-scale naval battle in southern Liaoning.
Zheng Zhilong is not the only businessman willing to make money, there are many others.
They used ocean-going merchant ships under the banner of trade with Japan to deliver the goods to Dorgon.
The daily mission of Dorgon’s navy was to go out to sea to find a safe route and then inform the smugglers.
After promising money, food, cigarettes, firearms and gunpowder, Luo Luohun also remained neutral like Man Dahai.
The Zhenghong and Xianghong banners were personally managed by Dorgon.
It was already evening when we walked out of Luo Luohun's mansion.
Dorgon did not continue to follow Fan Wencheng's plan, but returned home to take a bath and change clothes.
Then he set off for the palace with several large wooden boxes filled with soap, fine salt and cigarettes.
Fulin was the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner, and it was impossible to deal with him.
But Fulin was a young and filial son.
Therefore, as long as that person is dealt with, Fulin can be dealt with indirectly, and then the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners can be dealt with.
At night.
Dorgon came to the Phoenix Tower and began his performance.
