Sony, Suksaha, Obai and Ebilong were the heroes and nobles of the Shang Sanqi whom Shunzhi personally controlled, and were also his most loyal slaves. After Dorgon's death, Shunzhi encountered major difficulties and encountered problems, so he usually consulted these four slaves first. If it could not be solved, it was a ministry discussion or a meeting of ministers to decide.

Oboi's brother Zhao Butai (Guarjadjobutai) was dismissed from office for failing to advance in the Battle of Mopanshan and was dismissed from office for serving the army. Duni, the prince of Xin, was also fined 5,000 taels of silver, Dorobel Duran was fined 2,000 taels of silver, and the chief minister Jishihage, Mangutu and others were all punished.

When Oboi came in, Shunzhi thought of Zhao Butai, so he told the slave that he would restore his brother to his post after a few days. He was moved by Oboi and kowtowed a few times. Sony and Suksaha who came in later laughed but said nothing, and the other frowned slightly. Ebilong arrived because he handled the last matter of the entrance to the Mongolian army of the Lifanyuan. Shunzhi did not blame him for coming too late, and expressed his worries in front of the four loyal servants.

Suksaha is honest and likes to speak frankly, and said immediately: "Master, I have long had objections to Prince Wu Sangui's affairs. After all, this Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of our Manchus. It is important to hold the knife in the hands of our Manchus! Most of Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, and they are all Han soldiers. No matter how others think about it, I don't care. Anyway, I'm not at ease."

"This is reasonable. Such a huge Han power is far away from the capital, and most of the former Ming surrendered troops are guarded, otherwise we may have an unexpected accident." Ebilong nodded and said.

The words of these two slaves suddenly came to Shunzhi's heart. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Suksaha said: "The slave thought that not only could not give Yunnan and Guizhou to Wu Sangui, but the imperial court would also have to reduce the vassal states to avoid disasters in the future."

"Reducing the vassal state?" Shunzhi was stunned.

Ebilong was also shocked. He did not believe in Wu Sangui, but he did not mean to reduce the vassals. If the Qing Dynasty was unified, it would be understandable to reduce the vassals. But at present, not only Zhu Youlang's Yongli Xiao was hiding in Myanmar and the court had not yet been destroyed. There were still many Ming army soldiers in the southwest. The Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi even supported the new king. Huguang was in a hurry everywhere, and the Zheng family in Fujian was also eyeing it. The situation was very unfavorable to face the Qing Dynasty.

Fujian Dasu reported that Zheng Jun has been collecting grain in Fujian and Zhejiang this month. Zheng Jun Gan Hui, Ma Xin, Zhang Huangyan and others just attacked Ruian City, a member of Wenzhou Prefecture, ten days ago. All signs indicate that there will be a big disturbance in the Zheng Jun this year. It is very likely that Zheng Sen wants to deploy a large-scale attack to echo the Guangdong Tang Dynasty regime in the south.

In addition, Tang Sanshui, the Guangdong Admiral who had been insisting on fighting against the Zhou Taiping Army in Shaozhou and Nanxiong, also sent an emergency, saying that the Taiping Army had sent troops to Shaozhou and threatened the city. Although he tried his best to resist, his troops were insufficient in the end. If Shaozhou was in a loss, the Taiping Army would open the northward passage and go straight to Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Therefore, Tang Sanshui asked the court to mobilize troops to respond to Shaozhou, so as not to force the Taiping Army to enter Ganzhou, causing turmoil in Jiangxi Province to change hands.

At that time, Wang Deren and Jin Shengheng were in Jiangxi, because Ganzhou was still in the Qing Dynasty, so he failed. After Li Chengdong returned to Ming Dynasty, he also launched a large army to attack Ganzhou. It can be seen that Ganzhou is important. Li Chengdong even drowned in Ganzhou. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao led the army south and rushed all the way from Ganzhou to Guangdong. In half a month, they destroyed the Shaowu regime and forced Yongli to flee from Zhaoqing. Now the Taiping Army is heading north to attack Shaozhou, and Bai Ming also wants to conquer Shaozhou and seize Ganzhou. The Qing court naturally needs to pay more attention. Ebilong personally presided over the Manchurian and Mengtang official of the Ministry of War, and decided that Jiangxi will draw 6,000 reinforcements to Shaozhou, in order to motivate Tang Sanshui to defend.

In Shaozhou, Shunzhi also awarded him the first-class title of Light Che Hafan, and promoted him to the left governor and the young tutor of the crown prince of Jin. These were honors that Wu Liuqi had only ten years of life for the Qing Dynasty. Now they were all given to Tang Sanshui, who had been the governor of Guangdong for less than two years. Not only that, the money and grain support of the Qing army in Shaozhou was also borne by Jiangxi Province. In order to protect Shaozhou, the Qing court issued a strict order to Jiangxi, but those who dared to slack off would be killed. In order to ensure that "defend the enemy outside the country", Jiangxi Governor Xia Yie was exerting his strength and tried his best to do anything to Shaozhou. He never complained, but only the people of Jiangxi were suffering.

Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang coastal areas, Yunnan borders, Sichuan, Ming army in chaos everywhere, and the Qing army was using troops everywhere. This was at the critical moment. It was definitely impossible to reduce the vassal states. Otherwise, if you force Wu Sangui to rebel, Yunnan and Guizhou would lose it again. This is secondary. The key is that Doni's Manchu and Mongolian army is still in Yunnan. If Wu Sangui really rebelled, Doni's army would be really dragged down. Don't talk about the other tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers and generals. If they were flocking to join Wu Sangui to make trouble, Doni would not be able to save them, and the eight provinces south of the Yangtze River would be completely lost in an instant.

Sony is much more experienced. What Ebilong thought of, and he also thought of it. He was afraid that his master would hear Suksaha's swearing, and hurriedly said: "Master, Wu Sangui was the prince because of expelling Li Zhe and making contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He was the leader of the Battle of Southwest. If he was slashed, he might be dissatisfied by the people of the world!"

Suksaha snorted slightly and reminded Sony: "Is this the world's people the Manchus the people?" The implication is that Manzhou is the only one who can call the world's people. The Qing Dynasty also relies on Manzhou. What's the relationship between the Han people's submission? If they obey, they are honest and obedient slaves. They are not convinced. Since they entered the pass, the Eight Banners of Manzhou have slaughtered hundreds of millions of Han people, and they don't care about killing millions more.

Ebilong couldn't help it and said angrily: "The Qing Dynasty was captured by our Manchus, but without the efforts of the Han army, can our Manchus really settle down in this country? Not to mention anything else, just talk about Wu Sangui. If it weren't for him, how many people would have died in Manchus to take over the current territory? Now, how many Manchus are left? If all Manchus are going to be exhausted, how can we use the power to capture the Han people!"

After hearing this, Suksaha's face turned pale, but he did not refute anything.

Shunzhi shook his head and looked at Obai: "Obai, tell me."

Obai pondered slightly and said, "Master, the slave thinks Suksa's words are reasonable, and Sony is right."

"Why are you a servant playing tricks?" Shunzhi was a little angry. He asked Oboi what he thought, not to listen to him being careless.

Oboi chuckled and said, "Master, there is a saying in the Han people that they can't let others sleep soundly. The Qing Dynasty belongs to our Manzhou people, so they must be guarded against the Han people, otherwise they might be asked to take them back. After all, the population of Manzhou is rare, and many tribes have always been governed by a few tribes. It is the national policy to pay attention to the fundamentals. So Suksaha said that he wanted to reduce the vassal state, and the slave felt it was reasonable. However, the world is not peaceful yet, and wars in the south are on the south, and Guangdong and Guangxi have gained and lost. This is easy to reduce the vassal state, which is more likely to rebel against Wu Sangui. Therefore, Sony's words also feel reasonable, and this vassal state cannot be reduced. Besides, the slave always thought that Wu Sangui was not necessarily as we said, and he had a strange intention. If he touched it rashly, he might push him back."

Shunzhi has always looked at Oboi differently, because he is quick-witted, clever and has a sophisticated and calm style when doing things. His words are reasonable and very consistent with Shunzhi's wishes, so he asked him again: "What should I do now, according to your servant?"

Aobai bowed and replied, "According to the view of a servant, it is advisable to throw stones and ask for directions at the moment, and not to alert the snake!"

"What is throwing a stone to ask for directions?"

"One, ask the ministers about their hearts, and beware that the ministers think that the court has the intention to let Wu Sangui down; the other is, ask Wu Sangui's heart, and see if he really has a different ambition!"

Suksaha couldn't help it and said, "Obai, can you speak straight, what circles are you going in front of your master?"

Obai smiled and said, "Ask the ministers' hearts, not the censors, those people will have bad things in the Ming Dynasty. The court raises them just to be famous, but they can't really count on these people. Only ministers who do real things can ask about the major issues in the world, such as the six ministries and local governors. The court can truly listen to the opinions of these people. No matter how fierce the censors shout, the master cannot listen, and they don't have to pay attention to them. In short, the ministers must not think that the court is really suspicious of Wu Sangui. In this way, even if Wu Sangui really rebelled, he would not receive much response. After all, the court did not let him down."

"Then how do you ask Wu Sangui's heart?"

"Hong Chengchou asked for a vassal for him, so he had to express his feelings to the court. The master asked him to lead troops to attack Huguang."

"Fight Huguang?"

"Ping County Prince is too young and unstable. Wu Sangui is very experienced and has high combat power. What is important is that he has newly acquired 100,000 Ming Dynasty surrendered troops to the Qing Dynasty. He asked Wu Sangui to fight Huguang, and it was successful. The court believed him and Yungui gave him. If it failed, the loss was also the Han soldiers, and the court did not lose. Why not do it?"

"This strategy is very good, so you can follow your method." Shunzhi nodded happily, thinking that Oboi had many ideas, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried and said, "What should I do if Doni?"

"King Xin stayed in Yunnan, drove Wu Sangui to the north, and opened up Huguang, so that King Xin would come out quickly. If it was not connected, let King Xin defend himself, so as not to cause trouble in Yunnan and Guizhou. The master personally fought, and as long as he had a victory, the Ming army would be in chaos. At that time, King Xin would be able to come out at the right time and attack Guangdong and Guangxi."

Oboi talked endlessly, Shunzhi couldn't stop nodding when he heard it. Sony didn't say anything. Ebilong felt that Oboi's method was good, and Suksaha was not convinced. It was obvious that his master did not dare to say anything more.

The master slave was discussing, and the cabinet sent a urgent report, but it was from Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi. Tong Guoqi said that the Zheng army had tens of thousands of soldiers, and had a sudden attack invasion in different ways, and had camped for more than 40 miles, covering the sky. This time, the massive landing invasion was extraordinary, and it crossed the mouth of Feiyun River that entered the southwest like a thief. The reinforcements of Modu, Pingyang County and Ruian counties were silent. They advanced together in water and land, and were spying on Wenzhou. Our soldiers were restrained from the front and tail, which was extremely dangerous. Finally, Tong Guoqi pointed out in one sentence that he believed that the Zheng army might invade the Yangtze River and the troops entered Jiangning. Please prepare for the court early

I was entertaining relatives and friends yesterday, and I drank a little too much. I will make up for it today. I have limited ability and can only ensure that the average monthly update is more than 5,000 words. (To be continued.)
