Dorgon and his team's assumptions about the future war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula are of course related to their own successful experience in fighting the Ming army in the past.

Judging from their past experience, this assumption is actually not too far off.

If Yang Zhen had not made that unexpected trip to Jianghua Island, especially if there were no pro-Ming powerful figures like Shen Qiyuan and Lin Qingye in the Li Dynasty, then the subsequent war situation on the Liaodong Peninsula would probably have been different. It will evolve according to this situation.

Of course, Dorgon now had no way of knowing that Yang Zhen himself knew about their plan to borrow troops, food, and ships from the Li Dynasty, let alone that Yang Zhen had also set his sights on the people of the Dynasty. , especially hitting the top of the Korean warship.

If Dorgon knew this, then he would not hate Huang Taiji as much as he does now, nor would he secretly be jealous of Jierhalang, the so-called general of Dinghai, for his shitty luck.

It's just that Dorgon currently doesn't know about Yang Zhen's secret agreement with the Chao people on Jianghua Island, as well as his conspiracy with Shen Qiyuan, Lin Qingye and others.

Therefore, he was very confident about the coming war. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji for taking away the glory that he was about to win. At the same time, he was also full of jealousy towards Jierhalang, the smiling tiger who took advantage and acted like a harmless man. .

But Dorgon is Dorgon after all, and he still has the magnanimity and overall perspective that he should have. Although he is no longer the ordered general to lead the troops of the various banners in southeast Liaoning against Jinhai Town, he will never deliberately go there. Destroy the platform of Jirharang.

When other Tatar dignitaries say that the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are one family, they are probably just talking about it, but for a figure like Dorgon who has an overall view, this is a must-choose option.

Especially the Eight Banners Manchuria is a whole that suffers both losses and prosperity.

For this reason, although he was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji in Shengjing City, and although he was jealous of Jierhalang who suddenly replaced him, he would still do what he should do and let the next war proceed as expected.

It was precisely because of his ability to understand the general situation that Huang Taiji had the courage to replace him when the battle was about to begin, and then continued to let him stay on the front line to assist Jilharang.

Correspondingly, Jierhalang, the newly minted Dinghai general, Prince Zheng, also understood this characteristic of Dorgon and knew that he was different from people like Azig.

Therefore, Jierhalang will continue to ask Dorgon to help him plan the next war, and he is not too worried that Dorgon will really give up the challenge, or even cause trouble for him.

Sure enough, when Azig asked Jierhalang in a lively manner what he meant and pointed out Jierhalang's wishful thinking, Dorgon was silent for a while, and finally put down the tea bowl and said calmly:

"Don't worry, that Yang Zhen and the Ming army in Jinhai Town are our enemies of the entire Qing Dynasty, not just your enemy, Prince Zheng. Although I, Dorgon, have been repeatedly suspected and punished, I can still carry out the Qing Dynasty. Prioritize the big and the small.”

Having said this, Dorgon turned his eyes and looked at Azig, the king of Wuying County, under the lamp for a moment, until Azig lowered his head, and then said:

"Who gets the credit for winning the war? Is it important? It would be false to say it is not important. Of course it is important. But more importantly, we must first destroy Yang Zhen and destroy Jinhaizhen.

"Because Yang Zhen and his Jinhai Town are the common enemies of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the enemies of the Blue Banner, and the enemies of the Two White Banners. Since they are our common enemies, when we are about to go to war, what difference should we make between you and me?

?”

Dorgon's words were addressed not only to Jierhalang, but also to Azig.

Others may only hear the humiliation and integrity of Prince Dorgon of Tarui County, but Azig also heard another meaning.

Since the last time Azig was deprived of the title of Prince Heshuo along with Dorgon and demoted to Prince Wuying, he naturally saw Huang Taiji's methods more clearly.

From then on, he completely gave up on Huang Taiji and only focused on moving closer to his brother Dorgon.

The two men led their subordinates to plan many things openly and secretly, including the question of what Huang Taiji's brothers and the two white flags should do a hundred years later.

Prince Su Hauge is dead, Huang Taiji has become like that again, and Huang Taiji's direct son is very young.

Under such circumstances, whether for himself or for the future of the entire Qing Dynasty, Dorgon believed that he should stand up and clean up the situation.

He still has this pattern.

Of course, to put it bluntly, his ultimate goal is to ascend the throne where Huang Taiji currently sits.

But there is a prerequisite for doing these things, and this prerequisite is that the Qing Dynasty must be intact by then, or at least continue to exist.

Otherwise, Dorgon will usurp the throne in the future, and what will be the point of replacing Huang Taiji?

As the saying goes, if Yang Zhen and his Jinhai Town really became popular in the southeast of Liaoning, and even brought down the Qing Dynasty from behind, what position would Dorgon usurp?

By then, even if he succeeds in usurping the throne and seizing Huang Taiji's throne, aren't the threats to the Qing Dynasty from Yang Zhen and Jinhaizhen in southeast Liaoning still a threat to him?

Therefore, for Dorgon, no matter how Huang Taiji suppresses him now, he has to endure it and endure it until the forces of Yang Zhen and Jinhai Town are eliminated or driven out of the southern section of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Regarding this situation, Azig was angry and confused for a while, but he soon understood it clearly under Dorgon's beating.

——Since this Qing Kingdom will belong to our brothers in the future, there really is nothing to argue about.

Azig thought of this, and although he still had a grimace and an unhappy look on his face, he lowered his head and no longer stared at Jilharan angrily.

After Jierhalang listened to Dorgon Shi's words, which generally took the overall situation into consideration, he saw the rude Prince Azige of Wuying County, who was always known for his explosive temper and bad temper. He lowered his head and relented. He was overjoyed and immediately said

:

"It's just as it should be, it's just as it should be. Prince Rui is indeed a man of extraordinary knowledge from a high position! As for the contribution of the two white flags, this time Yang Zhen and Jinhai Town were destroyed. How can I, Jierhalang, fall behind?

"As long as we fight well enough this time, it would be best if we capture Yang Zhen and complete the campaign. If that happens, haha, I think there is a good chance that the two princes will regain their title of Prince Heshuo!"

When Prince Zheng Jierhalang saw that Dorgon expressed his willingness to cooperate with him and support him, he was so happy that he immediately made conditions for Dorgon and Azig, and drew a big deal.

"Haha, whether it's a prince or a county king, let's leave this matter to the future. I, Dorgon, have nothing to say about what Dorgon should do. I believe that the soldiers of Liangbaiqi should also do what the two white flags should do.

There must be nothing wrong with it. Prince Zheng, please rest assured about this!"

Dorgon raised the corners of his mouth, smiled disdainfully, and then made his attitude clear in response to the big cake thrown by Jierhalang to him and Azig with a smile.

"But Prince Zheng, you should also be clear that the key to victory in the next battle does not lie with me, Dorgon, nor with the regular soldiers of the two white flags.

"Especially whether we can achieve full success depends on whether your Prince Zheng's blue-flag-embedded troops can successfully detour, and whether the Li Dynasty warships that Jingjin Baylor borrowed for you can be used!"

After the last war ended, Dorgon once carefully sorted out the reasons for his failure to return without success.

In his opinion, there was only one fundamental reason for the failure or defeat last time, and that was that Yang Zhen had a naval force and he did not.

Because Yang Zhen had a navy, Dorgon's army's retreat was surrounded by battlefields along the coast.

Because Yang Zhen had a navy, the farther south Dorgon led his army, the more dangerous the situation for his army was.

Similarly, because Dorgon himself did not have a navy, he knew very well that there was no way to suppress Yang Zhen's maritime fleet by relying on the power of the two white flags.

Under such circumstances, if he wanted to complete the task of wiping out Jinhai Town, he had to prepare with both hands.

The first move is to build the city and go south, while continuously compressing the survival and expansion space of Jinhai Town, while consolidating its control area and rear area.

The other hand was to step up shipbuilding. To this end, Dorgon specifically requested Huang Taiji's order to mobilize Eight Banners Han Army craftsmen and a large number of manpower and material resources to select sites along the Yalu River to build shipyards to build large ships.

It should be said that Dorgon's preparations were quite correct.

In particular, the strategy of building the city and moving southward, which was under the command of the Two White Flags, was completed quite well and the results were very significant.

Not only did it strengthen the city defense of Gaizhou City, but also rebuilt Xiongyue City and Xuguan Fort, and built Wanghai Fort on Shipeng Mountain and the east bank fort at the mouth of Liaohe River.

Although the fort at the mouth of the Liaohe River was destroyed by a surprise attack by the navy from Jinhai Town before it had time to equip heavy artillery, the Two White Flags still did what they could in their power seriously and did a good job.

At least Gaizhou City and Xiongyue City will not have to worry about Jinhai Town's navy suddenly coming ashore to launch an attack in the future, which is equivalent to giving the Qing Dynasty's troops to conquer Jinhai Town a very solid rear.

Although Dorgon's move cost the Qing Dynasty countless manpower, material and financial resources, and the financial and material resources he had accumulated for many years were also used, Huang Taiji, who was in Shengjing, wanted to launch a new war against Liaoxi but was unable to do so.

But Dorgon himself is quite satisfied with what he has accomplished in the past six months.

However, although Dorgon's move to build the city south was very effective, the task of handing it over to Shang Kexi's shipyard to build warships did not go smoothly.

During the last war, Shang Kexi recruited the most experienced boat craftsmen from the original Tianzhu Army, but they were all killed by Yu Liangtai on Lianyun Island.

Shang Ke liked the difficulty of recruiting more than a thousand skilled craftsmen, and eventually became the craftsmen of the Longwang Temple Shipyard in Jinhai Town. Now, under the arrangement of Shen Zhixiang, he is building more and more warships for Yang Zhen.
