    After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, a large-scale construction project was carried out in Shenyang and the imperial palace was built.  With Chongzheng Hall as the central axis, it has always been the place where the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty handled government affairs. This was the case for Huang Taiji in the past, and it is also the case for Dorgon now.  It was mid-February in the 17th year of Chongzhen, and it was also mid-March in the solar calendar of later generations. It was early spring, when the ice and snow began to melt and everything grew. However, it was still cold in this land of Liaodong, and sometimes heavy snow would still fall.  Chongzheng Hall is equipped with a series of buildings such as Feilong Pavilion and Xiangfeng Pavilion. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Many ministers such as Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, and Eight Banners Han Army were gathered together. In order to show their attention to the Koreans and Japanese, Eight Banners Korea  , Eight Banners, Japan's many solid mountains and Ezhen are also listed in the temple.  Their braided hair and clothes have also all changed, becoming consistent with those of the Manchus.  This was a policy advocated by Huang Taiji at that time. "Everyone has their hair braided and dressed in the Manchu style, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded." In order to prevent the sinicization of Manchuria, he also ordered many times to abandon the official titles and city names of the Ming Dynasty and change them to Manchu.  , otherwise it means not obeying the law of the country, and will not be leniently forgiven if found out.  Dorgon inherited all these policies.  Huang Taiji also ordered the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and six ministries, each of which was managed by Beile, with officials such as Chengzheng, Shenzheng, Qixinlang, etc. Manchu, Mongolian, and Han were used together, and the number of each ministry was different.  The "study" was renamed the Wen Guan, and the Manchu and Han Confucian officials were divided into two groups, taking turns to be in charge of translating classics and recording the political affairs of the dynasty.  In particular, Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng and others were the think tanks, and some of the functions of the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy were clearly understood.  At this time, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, Belzier Harang, was in charge of the punishment department, Cheerge and Suohai were in charge, Dorji was in charge of Mongolia, and Gao Hongzhong and Meng Qiaofang were in charge of Han Dynasty.  Gao Hongzhong is also the supervisor of the espionage center "Manzi City", responsible for the detailed work of external intelligence.  The importance of Manzicheng to the Qing Dynasty is self-evident. At first, Li Yongfang was the leader. After Li Yongfang died of illness, his son-in-law Wu Changchun took over.  Wu Changchun was arrested by Dongchang. After Ling Chi was executed, he was replaced by Bao Chengxian. However, Bao Chengxian was captured by Wang Dou's intelligence department and cut in half to death.  The person in charge of Manzi City is Gao Hongzhong, the official in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. At this time, he is holding a piece of information and reading something in a cadence.  "It has been confirmed that the rogue Li Zicheng proclaimed himself king in Jinan on the first day of the second lunar month, and the founding of the country was smooth. His reign was Yongchang. There were six governments in his country, with prime ministers, each with a minister and minister, and the country was complete. In terms of military system, he was divided into the center and the left  There are five battalions on the right, front and back, with one general and deputy general each, and five battalions with president. Each battalion has one general, who is in charge of each battalion. There are also General Zuo Guoyi and General Youwei in the camp, who are in charge of the camp affairs  ¡­¡± ¡°It has been confirmed that there are more than 40 generals in Shunguo, including Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, Li Yan, Dang Shousu, Xin Sizhong, Gu Kecheng¡± ¡°Some of them have military career preferences.  The temperament is as follows, Liu Zongmin" The important officials of the Qing Dynasty in the palace listened quietly. They had no doubts about Manzicheng's ability. Their intelligence collection could even go as far as to detail the names, number of soldiers, and equipment weapons of the generals guarding each pass of the Ming Dynasty.  They turned into traders, monks, beggars, and workers, and they penetrated everywhere. Even many Ming Dynasty officials and generals were their work, so it is not surprising to collect such detailed intelligence about the country.  Only those Eight Banners North Korea who had newly joined the Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners Japanese ministers looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that the Qing Dynasty's intelligence capabilities were so powerful, which somewhat increased their confidence in this country.  Of course, Gao Hongzhong spoke Chinese. Not only did many Han ministers not even understand the "Golden Language" of the Qing Dynasty at this time, but the newly joined Koreans and the Japanese knew nothing about it, so the Qing Dynasty mostly spoke Chinese during court discussions.  At this time, Chinese culture was prevalent in East Asia, and speaking and writing Chinese was not a problem for the upper class figures in various countries.  " Manzi City has confirmed that Shunguo will raise troops on the first day of March to march directly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty!" The hall was shaken, and for a long time, Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, said: "Our country has besieged the capital of the Ming Dynasty several times.  , cannot be conquered immediately, but Li Zicheng intends to defeat it in one fell swoop. It seems that this person's wisdom and courage are greater than ordinary people. He has no ambitions to lead the army in person. Will he take advantage of this victory to gain a glimpse of our Liaodong?  We, the Qing Dynasty, must not ignore this." "He has a reputation in the Qing Dynasty for being calm and courageous, and he has said so. Obviously this matter is not a small matter.  The more prudent and prudent Manchu ministers in the Qing Dynasty, such as Ying'erdai who was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ashan, the former leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, Beile Daishan, Beile Abatai and others who were still in charge of the Zhenghong Banner all agreed.  However, the leader of the original yellow flag, Baiyintu, did not take it seriously. Duduo snorted disdainfully and said arrogantly: "I have entered the pass several times during the Qing Dynasty. Cutting down those Ming soldiers is just like cutting melons and vegetables.  Even if the bandits are stronger than those of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be compared with my Qing soldiers, and dare to spy on our Liaodong?" His words were praised by some important Manchu and Mongolian officials.?, Baiyintu even let out thunderous laughter.  Like Duoduo, they all disdain the Han soldiers in the pass, except of course Wang Dou.  Jierhalang smiled and said nothing. After returning from victory in Japan, Duduo became more and more arrogant in the country. There was no need for him to be the leader, he could just express his worries and opinions.  "Don't take it lightly!" Xuantong Emperor Dorgon, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, glanced at Duduo. He spoke calmly and stopped Duduo's arrogant words. He said: "The rogue bandits have been using troops for more than ten years.  Although they can't resist our army, they can't be ignored by the Han soldiers in the past. " He turned to Gao Hongzhong and asked, "Do you think there are soldiers and horses available for Shun in Manzi City? How many people will they send to the Ming Dynasty? " Everyone in the palace.  Everyone seems concerned.  Gao Hongzhong said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, Manzi City has found out that the soldiers and horses of the obedient army are controlled by the outer camp and the inner camp. The inner camp, that is, the old camp, has about 60,000 horsemen and horsemen.  "They are very sharp. Many of them have two or three horses. They are also the core troops of Shun Guo."  The original Ming Dynasty may have surrendered to the Ming army. However, after Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, he defeated Guide, conquered Xuzhou, and attacked Shandong, and had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty generals Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Qiu Lei and others.  Shunde Mansion and other places surrendered troops, and the current strength is estimated to have reached 600,000. " He said: "Shun Guo seems to want to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. They are constantly recruiting strong troops, which are the troops originally stationed in Henan and Huguang.  They were also constantly transferred to Shandong, leaving only some local guards. They went out in full force, and the number of troops heading north was estimated to be 500,000. "Everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air.   Duduo's expression changed, and then he said disdainfully: "There are only 60,000 elites, and the remaining 400,000 to 500,000 are all bastards. When our Qing soldiers entered the pass several times, they were all vulnerable."  "However, there was still silence in the hall, and even Baiyintu had a cautious look in his eyes.  At this time, Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Academy of Secretaries, came out. He solemnly said: "The survival of our Qing Dynasty is at stake. Please enter the Central Plains immediately!" (To be continued.)
