"No!"

The regent uncles Jierhalang and Daishan spoke out to stop him almost at the same time.

"Zhu Yihai's three-pronged northern expedition was dangerous in the east and unstable in Beijing and Tianjin. Although the western front made good progress, it was not easy to face Zhang Xianzhong and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Ming Army at the same time.

Now it would be too risky to declare war with the three Khalkha and Mongolian tribes at the same time.

I suggest that we should send people to Mobei as envoys to meet with the Chechen Khan and others. It is best to appease them first. If this is not possible, we must find a way to delay the time first. We must first stabilize the south before we can use troops on the grassland.

If the north and the south start a war at the same time, the country will be destroyed!"

Both regents objected to sending troops to the grassland at this time, and even wanted to appease the Tengjisi brothers with titles. They even hoped that Dorgon would write a personal letter to apologize to Tengjisi.

Frankly speaking, even if they cannot be appeased, they cannot mobilize the Eight Banners to go north. The Eight Banners must stay to defend Beijing and Tianjin, or even go south to reinforce Xuhuai and Shandong. Even if the three Khalkhas go south, they can only let the Monan Mongolian tribes resist on their own.

"Don't make enemies on multiple fronts, fight on three fronts!"

Dorgon was extremely angry, but everyone came to persuade him. Even Duduo asked to lead troops south to reinforce Shandong instead of going to the Mongolian grassland.

The Holy Mother and the Queen Mother all came to persuade him.

Dorgon was extremely angry, but the meeting of the king and ministers was not a general court meeting. The opinions formed by the majority of the kings and ministers were very important, and it was difficult for him to reject them.

It was finally decided that Yi Daishan would be based in Tianjin and Jierhalang would be based in Zhangjiakou.

Duduo continued to show off his power as a general, but instead of going north to the grasslands, he led the Eight Banners in Beijing to rush south to Jinan, Shandong.

The auxiliary Wang Shuosai went to Lushun to take charge of the navy to prevent the Ming Dynasty from invading Liaodong.

In addition to these transfers, the Council of State Councilors agreed to the petition of General Boluo of the Southern Conquest, allowing him to abandon Lufeng and Huaihai and retreat to Xu, Ying, and Runing north of the Huaihe River.

He was asked to clear Huainan's strong walls and implement a scorched-earth strategy, so that the entire Huainan became a buffer zone to prevent the Ming army from moving north.

Some troops and horses were also mobilized from Henan and Hubei to rush to Xuzhou and Yanzhou for reinforcements. They even mobilized troops from Shanxi to the south to garrison in Kaifeng and other places as a general reserve force.

Facing the out-of-control situation in the east, these Eight Banners princes stopped fighting among themselves and first tried to find a way to win this battle.

Even in order to appease Teng Jisi, Dorgon was forced to agree to write a letter of apology to Teng Jisi, and took the initiative to resolve the original grudge. He also specially made Teng Jisi a prince and his younger brother as a county king.

In addition to the gift of silver, Shunzhi decreed that Dorgon's only daughter be given in marriage to Teng Siji's son.

I just hope that Teng Jisi can stop it when things get better.

The meeting even decided to release Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, who was previously imprisoned and was suspected of being a treacherous person. He was still awarded the title of Minister of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he was appointed as the ambassador of the mission to the south. He led the delegation to Denglai to see Zhu Yihai.

Open peace talks.

In order to buy time, they even offered to use the Huaihe River and Hanshui River as the boundaries between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The governor of Shandong, Ding Wensheng, was deposed and arrested, and Hong Chengchou, who had been idle at home for a long time, was appointed as the governor of the three provinces of Shandong, Henan and Zhili, stationed in Daiming, and also the governor of Shandong.

At this time, Qian Qianyi, who was in prison, and Hong Chengchou, who was idle, were sent to important positions again, which showed that the Qing government was really anxious.
