Chenyang, Shengjing Chongzheng Hall.

"Reported to the Regent, the Fan family in Shanxi, Li Zicheng had already captured Ningwu Pass. The general of Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yuji, fell off his horse and was still fighting on foot. He was captured by several arrows. The rebel general Zhou Yuji hung on a high rod and shot him to death, and then dismembered his body. It is reported that Zhou Yuji's wife Liu led dozens of women to resist guarding the palace and refused to surrender, and was burned to death by the rebel army. Because Zhou Yuji resisted stubbornly, the rebel army suffered great losses, so he slaughtered Ningwu and left all infants and young people."

The person who was reported to the Regent Dorgon was Fan Wencheng, a Grand Secretary of the Nei Secretariat. This person was originally a Baoyi slave of Beizi Shuotuo of Zhenghong Banner. Last year, Shuotuo and Prince Adali lobbied Prince Zheng Jirhalang, Prince Li Daishan, and Prince Rui Dorgon to make Dorgon the king, but was executed by Dorgon on charges of disturbing politics and turmoil. Fan Wencheng was then transferred to the Yellow Banner.

In addition to Fan Wencheng, there were also several other members of Grand Secretary Xifu and Ganglin, Gushan Beizi Nikan, Minister of Political Consultative Affairs Ye Chen and others.

"The eight people including the Fan family in Shanxi have made great contributions to our dynasty, so they should not be careless in the future."

32-year-old Dorgon touched the extremely smooth top of his head, looked at Fan Wencheng who was bowing, and said, "The fifteenth brother robbed your wife. I and the king and the kings Beile discussed this matter and decided to punish Duoduo for one thousand taels of silver and rob him of fifteen Niulu. Do you think this punishment will make you convinced?"

"I dare not complain to my master, and I will be subject to the regent's treatment!"

Fan Wencheng dared not to be dissatisfied. Although he was a Grand Secretary, he was just a Baoyi slave in the Eight Banners. In the past, when the First Emperor was there, he valued him very much, and the powerful people of the Eight Banners had to respect him. Now that the First Emperor is gone, he would not dare to give Fan Wencheng ten courages, and he would not dare to have any objection to King Yu who stole his wife and played with him, let alone say that he was dissatisfied.

"This is what the fifteenth brother did wrong. I, the brother, apologize to you."

Dorgon actually had a headache. He didn't know what his younger brother thought. Han ministers' wives and concubines could be used as beautiful and young, but why did he become interested in Fan Wencheng's forty-year-old woman? Didn't he know that Fan Wencheng was very valuable to the Qing Dynasty?

Therefore, it is impossible to return Fan's wife. There is no reason why the master likes her and still has to reward her, but she always has to be able to live up to her face, so Dorgon only punished Duoduo for 1,000 taels of silver and cut fifteen Niulu.

He believed that Fan Wencheng shouldn't have anything to say anymore.

Sure enough, Fan Wencheng is very sensible and knows the duty of a servant.

Nikan grinned at Fan Wencheng, turned his head and said excitedly, "Uncle Fourteenth, Li Zicheng has really become a powerful force now. Ning Breaking the pass, Beijing will not block its head. According to me, Chongzhen's confused guy will have to finish at most in just one month!"

Dorgon nodded and said, "Li Zicheng's march was very fast. He took all the land in Shanxi in less than a month. Now Zhou Yuji, who is still capable of fighting, is dead. Chongzhen can't sit on the dragon throne."

Nikan is the son of Dorgon's eldest brother, Juying, so he called Dorgon the fourteenth uncle, but he was two years older than Dorgon.

Unlike his two older brothers Du Du and Guohuan, Nikan played with Dorgon since he was a child, and Dorgon liked it very much.

"Yes, who thought that the Ming Dynasty would perish so quickly? I remember that the late emperor had thought of beating Chongzhen, but I didn't expect that the late emperor would be the king of the country to be destroyed after less than a year."

Ye Chen, who spoke, was one of the sixteen ministers during the Huang Taiji period. He had killed Shen Shikui, a powerful general in Dongjiang Town in Ming Dynasty, and was now at the scene of the White Banner.

"At that time, our Qing Dynasty was not as strong as the Ming Dynasty. The late emperor wanted to approve of the Ming Dynasty just because he accumulated strength."

Dorgon smiled, "But today I will be a minister and tomorrow I will be a king. As long as I can get enough benefits for the Qing Dynasty, my reputation is not worth a comparison."

After saying that, he signaled Fan Wencheng not to bow and said kindly to him: "After Mr. Wencheng deposited the money, he repeatedly told the late emperor about the importance of farming, and personally promoted the farming methods of your Han people in various places. In recent years, our Qing Dynasty treasury has been full, and Mr. Wencheng has made an indelible contribution."

Fan Wencheng dared not take credit for his contributions, so he hurriedly said humbly: "I am just carrying out the will of the late emperor."

After saying that, he thought about it but said again: "Reported to the Regent, I thought that the destruction of the Ming Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. This time, the situation inside the pass was like Qin losing his deer, and Chu and Han expelled him. Therefore, I thought that the Regent should send troops to advance to the Central Plains!"

"Ambitioning the Central Plains?"

Dorgon's eyes flashed, "Mr. Wencheng thought how should I advance to the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Report to the prince, I think that I will win the battle of the Qing Eight Banners and win the attack. The thief is not as good as me; however, if I follow the will of the people and recruit the people, I will not be as good as the thief."

Seeing that Dorgon seemed to be enterprising the Central Plains, Fan Wencheng was excited and hurriedly told what he thought.

He proposed that this time the pass was to capture the world within the pass, so he had to change the previous policy of entering the pass only to weaken the slaughter and looting adopted by the Ming Dynasty, and strictly prohibit soldiers from committing any crime. And every time he seized a city, he had to change the previous policy of not being defended, and the troops were stationed to set up officials to calm the people, so as to attract people's hearts.

After hearing Dorgon nodded, he looked at everyone and said, "What do you think about Mr. Wencheng's words about entering the pass?"

Grand Secretary Ganglin immediately stepped forward and said, "Reported to the Regent, our Qing Dynasty already has the treasure of the imperial courts in the Central Plains, which is a symbol of dominating the world! The Five Tiger General Hu Erhan led his troops to the east, blocked by the surging rivers of Heilongjiang. The heavenly king helped him, frozen the river overnight, and the natural barrier turned into a thoroughfare. On the eve of the Battle of Sarhu, the purple air of Mount Niyama lingered all kinds of signs that our Qing Dynasty obeyed the heavens and loved the people, and was blessed by God, and had the help of God. Now that the Ming Dynasty lost his deer, God did not take it, he was blamed. Please ask the Regent to accept the will of heaven, obey the will of the people, and send troops to settle the Central Plains as soon as possible!"

Nikan, Ye Chen and others were also excited and knelt down on the ground, shouting together: "Please send a large army to set up a depot in the Central Plains as soon as possible!"

The Grand Secretary Xifu was not as excited as Nikan and others. Instead, he thought about it and made a comment: "Reported to the Regent, although the thief Li Zicheng forced Beijing from the east, the century-legged insects of the Ming Dynasty were stagnant and did not die. If our Eight Banners entered the pass now, they still had to fight with the Ming Dynasty's closed troops. Only then could they enter the pass. However, at that time, they would have to compete with the main force of Li Zicheng's bandit army. Although our Qing Dynasty was strong and strong, the number of soldiers was not enough to compete with the bandit army. In case of failure, our Qing Dynasty would be shaken by the foundation. Therefore, the slaves thought that it was about entering the pass, and the Regent should think twice."

Xifu didn't dare to say anything. Even if Dorgon really wanted to enter the pass, he should discuss with the kings Bele, especially to obtain the consent of another regent, Prince Zheng Jirgalang, and then report to the emperor instead of making a decision alone.

"So what if there are many bandits? Since Emperor Taizu started his business with thirteen armors, he has never stopped many. The late emperor has even poured out his troops in the Battle of Songshan. Even the old man and young man have to hold their troops to fight. Such a demeanor is not matched with the bandits! The defeat of the Ming Dynasty is now a foregone conclusion. If the Qing Dynasty does not take advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains, when the Li thief stabilizes the pass, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will have no chance again!"

Dorgon did not ask Fan Wencheng to enter the pass, but had already wanted to compete for the destiny. He immediately ordered the meeting of the kings to discuss the matter of entering the pass tomorrow.

At the same time, Fan Wen and Cheng Guang were ordered to send a detailed guide to enter the pass, and to grasp the movements of the Ming army and the bandit army in the pass at any time. As for the Ming army in the pass, it was necessary to recruit many surrendered generals and officials who were officials in the Qing Dynasty to surrender.
