Dorgon knew very well that no one in this world would choose to follow a master who had not had much time, even if he was still in power now.

Even if the emperor is in his late twilight, his former confidant ministers will flatter him.

Once the emperor and the ministers, no one can live long.

Dorgon also had to marry Empress Dowager Bumubutai in exchange for his support for Xiao Fulin.

Otherwise, two years ago, Dorgon would have been torn to death by the royal family.

Dorgon has too many brothers, he ranks fourteenth. Haoge, who was killed in prison by him last year, was his brother, and he also returned from the desert with Chen Zhiyuan. He wanted to use this to threaten Dorgon to help him be the king of his uncle, and he was also Dorgon's brother. As Ajige said to Dorgon, your 14th brother can be the regent of the emperor's father, what's wrong with my brother's uncle?

This can only be blamed for Dorgon’s father Nurhaci, who was so capable of giving birth to sixteen in his lifetime.

It’s really impossible to blame Dorgon for being unpopular. Any Dorgon’s brother who arrives at Dorgon’s position will probably become the target of public criticism.

Power causes trouble!

Dorgon was wise. From the day he knew that his body could not hold on, he began to change his strategy. No, this is not a strategy, but a compromise with his inner desires in helplessness.

Since you can't become an emperor, I will be able to become an emperor. In this way, you will not have to be a bad reputation for treason, and you can also enjoy the blood food of the Taimiao.

This is the legend of Bumubutai marrying. God knows that Dorgon, who is romantic by nature, will have the passion of a man for a widowed sister-in-law who is almost forty years old. As for the legendary romantic love story that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry... Haha, if Dorgon knew about it, he might have vomited directly. If he had this body, Dorgon would rather favor Haoge's wife.

Since Bumubutai compromised and married Dorgon with a secret order, Dorgon got his wish and was called the regent of the emperor's father and the regent of Fulin, he had to repay his kindness.

So Dorgon's return in the past two years.

But this does not mean that Dorgon wants to give up his power. On the contrary, Dorgon needs to absorb power even more.

Power is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

Once the power loss is formed, it will collapse thousands of miles away. The so-called "treating the tree and scattering the money", which is a great defeat of thousands of miles away.

Countless people who have offended will rush over, suck his bones and blood, and crush his bones and ashes. This is an iron rule since ancient times, and there is no room for maneuver.

Therefore, while Dorgon chose to "respect allegiance" to Fulin, he established another "strong enemy" for Fulin - Chen Zhiyuan.

After a period of investigation, Dorgon felt that Chen Zhiyuan was a "entrusted" person, at least a person who was loyal to righteousness.

It is important to choose someone who can be entrusted with it, mainly character.

Chen Zhiyuan values ​​loyalty and neglects the camp. What is important is that he is talented and can lead troops.

This is the best choice for Dorgon.

However, Chen Zhiyuan had one of the flaws that made Dorgon the most headache-inducing, that is, the relationship between Chen Zhiyuan and Wu Zheng.

People who value righteousness often find it difficult to choose between the old master and the new master.

It is true that Dorgon appreciates the place where Shen Zhiyuan is really embarrassing.

If Dorgon had enough time, he would focus on overcoming Chen Zhiyuan's psychological barriers, that is, to change Chen Zhiyuan, which does not take too long, three or five years to be enough.

But Dorgon didn't have time, so he could only change his direction and look to the south - Wu Zheng.

As long as Wu Zheng dies, no, no need to die. As long as Wu Zheng's power collapses, then with Chen Zhiyuan's desire to lead the army on the battlefield, his only choice is to submit to Dorgon.

In addition, Dorgon had another reliance, that is, Dong'e. If Dong'e had Shen Zhiyuan's flesh and blood, he would have been insured.

But Dorgon knew that with his body and the court's short-lived military and financial resources, it would be impossible to defeat Jiangnan in a short time.

Therefore, while Dorgon suppressed Chen Zhiyuan, he made a move - disrupting Jiangnan and triggering internal disputes in Yixing Dynasty!

Whether it was Yixing Dynasty, Yongli Dynasty, or Wu Zheng's forces won, the final result should be that both sides would lose money and the Qing Dynasty would benefit.

Dorgon spent a lot of money and used a large number of secret scholars buried in the Yixing Dynasty and the Yongli Dynasty.

When everything was going well, Wu Zheng, Jiangnan, suddenly inexplicably attacked the royal family of the eleven governments, disrupting Dorgon's layout.

This made Dorgon very depressed. Could it be that this kid is really helpful?

"How is the matter done?" Dorgon asked Ganglin about this.

Ganglin replied: "Reply to the prince's words, according to the latest information from Hangzhou Prefecture, the secret son buried beside Mo Zhinian has been exposed, but judging from the situation, he did not spit out the real situation... In addition, according to the information from Yingtian Prefecture, Wu Zheng suddenly attacked the royal family, which aroused the anger of the monarchs of Yixing Dynasty. With the secret sons who were laid in the court and the public, the Yixing Dynasty has mobilized a large army toward the south."

Dorgon panted lightly and asked, "So, will the internal strife in the Yixing Dynasty start?"

Ganglin hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe...it won't work as everyone wants."

“Why?”

"The Yixing Dynasty army did move southward, but after reaching Changzhou Prefecture, it was likely that it was just a gesture towards Wu Zheng, rather than a real ferocious fight with Wu Zheng... In my opinion, the rumors that the current queen of Yixing Dynasty is in love with Wu Zheng should be true. This internal strife... I am afraid that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and it will be left unresolved in the end."

Qi Chongge bowed and said, "Prince, whether there will be internal strife in Yixing Dynasty, they will definitely understand the situation we set up. The dispute between Yongli and Yixing has been around for a long time, but the Longwu Dynasty was destroyed. Our dynasty put too much pressure on both sides, which made them flawless and peaceful. Now that our dynasty and Yixing Dynasty ceased to fight, the dynasty had enough energy to find trouble for the Yongli Dynasty, and the Yongli Dynasty was also slandered. The excuse of destroying the Yixing Dynasty and accusing the Yixing Dynasty of making peace with our dynasty. In this way, there will be a dirty thing between the two sides. What we need to do is to watch the tiger fight and promote the fire! Therefore, instead of triggering the Yixing Dynasty internal struggle and making the Yixing Dynasty unable to fight with the Yongli Dynasty south, it is better to give up the disturbance of the Yixing Dynasty, so that they can focus on dealing with the Yongli Dynasty. The two tigers will suffer one injury, or even both will suffer the loss, so that our dynasty can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

When Ganglin saw Qi Chongge speaking, he lowered his head and took a step back. It was not that he respected Qi Chongge, but that Ganglin knew very well that Qi Chongge's suggestions would definitely be denied by Dorgon.

In comparison, Ganglin knows Dorgon better than Qi Chongge.

Yes, for the court, the benefits gained from the outbreak of the Yixing Dynasty and the Yongli Dynasty were far greater than the internal strife of the Yixing Dynasty. But the problem is that what Dorgon needed most was the internal strife of the Yixing Dynasty, because only in this way could he hold Shen Zhiyuan in his hand and drive him.
