The little emperor Fulin was pacing back and forth on Danqi with his hands behind his back.
Under Danqi stood Luck Dehun, Luo Luohun, Gurmahun and dozens of other banner lords, Beile.
For Fulin and these banner leaders, Baylor, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, because tomorrow morning, the Qing army will have a final decisive battle with the Ming army.
Luck Dehun still wants to fight for it again.
At that moment, Luck Dehun winked at Luo Luohun.
But Luo Luohun himself also wanted to be this general, so he pretended not to notice.
Luck Dehun winked at Gurmahun again, hoping that Gurmahun would say a few words for him.
Gurma Hui knew that he was inexperienced and the Zhenglan Banner was weak, so the position of general must have nothing to do with him.
At that moment, Gurma Hui went out and said: "Your Majesty, although Sony has experienced hundreds of battles, he has never had the experience of leading an army alone. This time, he is suddenly allowed to command the entire country's troops. I'm afraid he will be incompetent. No one will be caught."
"But this is a war to destroy a country. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible."
After a pause, he added: "Dorobelek Dehun has followed the king of Yu County on many expeditions, during which he also led troops alone, and he is still a member of the clan. He is more suitable for the post of general of Dingguo than Sony."
Luck Dehun pretended to decline and said: "How could I dare to be appointed as the general of Dingguo?"
Many flag owners Baylor present rolled their eyes, obviously they were thinking terribly and were still pretending.
But Fulin, who was standing on Danqi, had no intention of taking on this problem, because he firmly remembered the emperor's instructions. To stabilize the morale of the Eight Banners army, one must rely on the nobles of the Eight Banners, but to lead the troops in war, one must rely on Sony. We must wait for the two yellow flag generals, otherwise, if the troops are still led by members of the clan as before, there is no guarantee that another emperor and regent will not appear.
Before Duduo launched the mutiny, didn't he just want to replace Dorgon and become the next regent of the emperor's father?
Therefore, Fulin would never allow another royal father and regent to appear, and naturally he would not allow the clan to lead troops.
At that moment, Fulin said: "The war is about to begin. As members of the Qing clan, you don't have to say these useless words. You should think about how to use the 120,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing to support Sony's army."
Hearing this, Luck Dehun, Luo Luohun and other banner leaders Beile were immediately disappointed.
In addition to disappointment, there is also dissatisfaction. After the co-authorship is used up, we want to leave it alone, right?
If I had known this, I should not have written letters to the military ministers under their respective banners, asking them to obey Sony's orders.
At that moment, Luckard said angrily: "Your Majesty, although there are 120,000 people in Beijing, the 100,000 are for training, and the only ones who can really fight are the 20,000 men with two white flags. These elites are used to defend the city. We are stretched thin, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to deploy many troops to support Sony’s army. Besides, Sony’s army has 440,000 soldiers, so why do we need support?”
"That's right." Gurma Hui agreed, "The strength of Sony's army is more than twice that of the Ming army, and the number of firearms is much greater than that of the Ming army. Moreover, our Eight Banners warriors have always been good at field battles, so only Sony will not underestimate the enemy. Carelessly, it is not difficult to defeat the Nanming army in a field battle, so we just need to wait for good news."
Fulin's expression is a bit unsightly. Are you trying to show off my expression?
Even though Fulin is only twelve years old this year and can be quite naive at times, after all, he has participated in the Battle of Dagonkou with Dorgon and has been the emperor for five years.
Fulin waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, please come back."
Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I can only say sorry to you.
In addition to clans like yours, the Qing Dynasty also has many powerful generals who have outstanding military exploits and are good at fighting.
After sending away Luo Luohun and other banner leader Baylor, Fulin summoned Baiyintu, Tu Lai, Tan Tai and other generals from the two yellow flags to Qianqing Palace. Among these generals there was even Tu Hai.
Although Tuhai had previously blocked Fulin and refused to let him leave the Forbidden City.
However, after Fulin took office, he did not seek to settle the accounts with Tu Hai's Qiu Hou, but instead promoted Tu Hai to an official rank.
Of course, this is just Fulin's method. Winning people's hearts is the first lesson in the emperor's mental skills. Fulin is now extremely skilled in using it, and it is almost as if it is real.
However, Baiyintu, Tuhai and the others are just a group of warriors.
There's no problem in letting them charge into battle, but asking them to make suggestions is too much.
However, Baiyintu still made a suggestion to Fulin, asking him to summon several imperial masters to consult, namely Qi Chongge, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.
So Fulin sent someone to summon Qi Chongge and the others into the palace, and also called Hong Chengchou.
Facing Qi Chongge and others, Fulin said: "Soni's army has much more troops and firearms than the Ming army. The advantage in this battle is mine. Our Qing army has a great chance of winning. However, the lion fights Rabbit, I have tried my best, so I plan to send another elite army from Beijing to attack from behind while the Ming army is fighting against the Sony army. In this way, the Sony army can defeat the Ming army more easily. Several gentlemen think that How is it?"
Hong Chengchou sneered in his heart, what is the use of such little skills of wither insects?
But he said: "The emperor's plan is truly a stroke of genius."
"Seriously?" Fulin said with a smile, "Sir, you are not lying to me, are you?"
"How dare you, slave?" Hong Chengchou said quickly, "Deceiving the emperor is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Qi Chongge, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo also praised Fulin's idea.
However, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme seemed a little perfunctory, and they didn't have much energy left.
Fulin couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and really felt that his idea was extremely brilliant.
After a pause, Fulin continued: "But there is a first-class difficulty here. In addition to the 100,000 warriors in Beijing, there are only 20,000 elite soldiers under the two white flags. The warriors who practice bravery can barely do the job of defending the city, but letting them go out of the city to fight in the field with the Ming army is not enough. If there is no arrest, if we really send troops from Beijing to attack the Ming army, we can only send 20,000 elite troops from the two white flags out of the city."
Qi Chongge asked: "Is the emperor worried about the morale of the two white flags?"
"Exactly." Fulin nodded and said, "Since the regent Long Yu Bintian, there have been undercurrents in the Two White Banners, the military morale has been unstable, and there are even all kinds of absurd rumors, which are very detrimental to me and the Queen Mother. At this time By sending them out of the city, I am very worried about their performance on the battlefield, fearing that it will be difficult for them to pose a substantial threat to the Ming army."
In addition to the flag officers of the two white flags, those who were unstable in military morale also included those generals who were transferred to the two yellow flags.
After Sony and Bilong's army arrived in Tianjin, the news of Dorgon's death could no longer be concealed.
It's just that the generals of the Two White Flags have some knowledge after all, so they don't get as emotional as the flag men of the Two White Flags.
Ever since the sudden death of Dorgon, the bannermen of the Two White Banners have been in a mood, which made Fulin very angry.
"This matter is simple." Fan Wencheng said, "All you need is for the emperor to go and worship in front of the soul of the emperor's father and the regent. If possible, it would be best for the emperor to worship with the imperial ceremony."
To put it bluntly, it is to make Fulin recognize Dorgon as his father.
After Ning finished, I immediately said: "Then I will give the regent a posthumous title and a temple title."
"What? To worship with the imperial examination ceremony? And also to give a posthumous title?" Fulin's face immediately fell.
If one were to ask Fulin about his true intentions, he would naturally be unwilling to worship Dorgon in the imperial ceremony, let alone give him a posthumous title.
Temple number?
Giving Dorgon a posthumous title and a temple title actually recognized Dorgon's throne.
Doesn't that mean that Fulin really has two fathers? Dorgon is his stepfather?
Just when Fulin was about to get angry, Fan Wencheng said quietly: "Your Majesty, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty's plan to consolidate the country, what does it matter if you suffer a little grievance?"
After Ning finished, I added: "And this is just a temporary measure."
When Fulin heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. Yes, it was just a temporary measure.
Fulin asked at that moment: "What posthumous title and temple name do you think the regent should be given?"
Hong Chengchou said in astonishment: "How can we agree on the posthumous title and temple name in such a hurry? Besides, slaves and others are not officials of the Ministry of Rites. The emperor can summon officials of the Ministry of Rites and ask questions."
"It's too late, just order whatever you want."
Fulin said and was about to walk out: "I am going to Prince Rui's Mansion to pay my respects now."
Hong Chengchou and others looked at each other, and finally Fan Wencheng said: "In the first year of Shunzhi, the regent led the elite of the Eight Banners to enter the pass, established the country and established the foundation, and established the dynasty's hegemony in the Central Plains. His temple name can be Chengzong."
"But, let's make it a clan." Fulin asked again, "Where's the posthumous title?"
After Ning finished, I said: "Let's use the word righteousness as the main word for the posthumous title, Emperor Yi. We'll discuss the other words on the way."
"Okay, sacrifice the emperor." Fulin agreed, and then said, "Now the bannermen of the two white flags will have no dissatisfaction with me and the Queen Mother, right?"
"That's natural." Hong Chengchou said.
"The bannermen of the two white flags must be extremely grateful to the emperor."
The fact was just as Hong Chengchou and the others expected. After Fulin paid homage to Dorgon overnight and received the posthumous title of Emperor Yi and the name of the Qingcheng ancestral temple, the bannermen of the two white flags finally felt relieved.
Because Dorgon had no heirs, Duduo was executed because of his rebellion.
So Fulin naturally inherited Xiangbai Banner and Zhengbai Banner.
Now that the two white flags and the two yellow flags are personally led by the emperor, what else can cause trouble?
Of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Fulin alone controls the two yellow flags and the two white flags, and the strength of the two white flags and the two yellow flags is far superior to that of the other four flags, so at this point, the Eight Banners' political discussions are just a formality.
There is no longer any banner leader, Baylor, who can check and balance the little emperor Fulin.
After paying homage to Dorgon, Fulin immediately ordered the 20,000 elite soldiers of the two white flags to prepare for their attack on the Ming army in the name of the flag owner. He then sent flying cavalry generals to pay homage to Dorgon and give him a posthumous title and temple name.
The news was informed to Heluohui, Wasing'a and other two white flag generals to reassure them.
