Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 147 Good News
When Daishan was young, he never did Huang Taiji in the struggle for power; as he got older, his thoughts became dull, and he could report his son directly if he did things that undermined unity.

Nowadays, it is obviously not good for the Qing Dynasty for the regent to take responsibility for such offending things, and he admits it.

Seeing his attitude, Dorgon felt a little grateful in his heart, so he discussed with him: "It is still unknown how the battle of Xuanfu will go, but the battle of Huairou in Changping should be clear..."

Listening to his analysis of occupation, Daishan also listened carefully.

"... First, our military strength is smaller than that of the Ming army. This is actually not the key point. The key point is the second point, which affects the morale of the army before the war." Dorgon said this with a serious expression, " Now we should have about [-] troops, while the Ming army only has about [-]. In terms of strength, the advantage lies with me!"

Daishan listened and nodded. After gathering the defeated soldiers, there would be one hundred thousand.

Dorgon continued his analysis: "However, our Qing army used to face the Ming army and was invincible in field battles. Now this situation has been broken. When the soldiers face the Ming army again, I am afraid it will be difficult to perform to the best of their ability." Combat strength. And no matter how we make up for it, it is impossible for our clan and other clans to return to the past. From this point of view, the rebellion of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had a great impact on our Qing Dynasty!"

Daishan listened and nodded again.It is true that there were no rebels after surrendering before, but that was just Zu Dashou, and he just fled back to the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, it had no impact on the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming led troops to rebel and caused serious damage to the Qing army. This was completely different from Zu Dashou's original situation.

As Dorgon spoke, he suddenly sighed slightly and said: "The total capital of our Qing Dynasty is only about [-] soldiers and horses. If we lose them, Liaodong will not be saved. Therefore, although our Qing army is against The Ming army has an advantage, but it cannot withstand the attrition. Unless the Ming army can be annihilated in one battle, then even losing some men and horses is still a good deal. But..."

At this point, he couldn't continue.The meaning is also very obvious. If you want to annihilate an army, you need the right time, place and people.This is not Liaodong, but a battlefield familiar to the Ming army. It is too difficult to do this first!

When Daishan heard this, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "If we, the Qing Dynasty, want to dominate the world and conquer the Central Plains, our strength is still a little weak!"

In the past, when we sent troops into the pass, they swept through the pass, and each time they looted until the plate was full before returning, without much loss.This made them miscalculate and think they could conquer the world.

The two were silent for a while, and then Dorgon continued: "Hong Chengchou's strategy is indeed a good one. If our army cuts off the supply of materials to the capital, we can allow the Ming army to take the initiative to attack. As far as we know so far, In terms of strength, it is definitely no problem to defeat this Ming army. However, the question is, can our food and grass last until the capital's food and grass are exhausted?"

After hearing this, Daishan thought thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps we can detach a partial division to go to the south or other places to harvest grass and valleys to replenish the army with food and supplies. I don't believe that there are other Ming armies that can eat up the Qing army!"

As long as we avoid the capital and the Ming army, this is indeed feasible.

However, Dorgon also had his own thoughts and said: "Perhaps we should change our strategy. Instead of plotting against the world, we should focus on attacking the Ming army. I will write another letter to Li Zicheng, explaining the situation. The two families will join forces to destroy the capital. Let’s talk about this Ming army!”

After hearing this, Dai Shan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately affirmed: "Yes, I have already written the previous letter, and it is not unexpected to write another letter. As long as we make an agreement with Li Zicheng, the two families will join forces to capture the capital, and the materials and population will be returned." We, the Qing Dynasty, don’t want the territory inside the customs. After exiting the customs, we will continue to wait for the situation in the country. When the situation is favorable, we can re-enter the customs!"

The two of them are the two most influential among the Jianlu.Once the two of them reach an agreement, the matter is basically settled.

So Dorgon immediately wrote a letter and sent people to chase Li Zicheng's army to deliver the letter.

In addition, he gathered the defeated troops, abandoned places such as Yongping and Qian'an, and moved south to capture Wuqing, Tianjinwei, Jinghai, and Yongqing, cutting off the capital's supply channels.

………………

As for Shanhaiguan, after the Jianlu army occupied the Yongping Mansion area, they have been on guard against a powerful enemy day and night, fearing that the Jianlu forces would suddenly attack Shanhaiguan.

However, after waiting for several days, he did not see Jianlu attacking Shanhaiguan. This made Wang Chengen relieved. He smiled and said to the civil and military officers of Shanhaiguan: "It seems that Jianlu still knows himself and does not dare to attack Shanhaiguan." The best level in the world, haha!"

Li Yutian and others laughed together after hearing this, obviously feeling much more relaxed.

However, Wu Sangui frowned and remained silent.

Of course, Wang Chengen was very concerned about him. He immediately noticed that his expression was abnormal, and immediately asked: "Commander Wu, are you worried?"

When Wu Sangui heard the question, he hesitated for a moment, but finally thought that it would be better if Wang Chengen knew about it, so he stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists and said: "Father, the general is not afraid of Jianlu coming to attack. What he is afraid of is that they will not attack. It's just that Cut off the supply of materials to Shanhaiguan, so Shanhaiguan will be destroyed!"

Wang Chengen, Li Yutian and others were stunned when they heard this. They really had never thought about this!
Looking at their expressions, Wu Sangui had a worried look on his face and continued: "Jianlu is invincible in the field, let alone a large army in Yongping Mansion. And what Jianlu is best at is besieging cities for reinforcements and using them to fight in the field. There is no advantage of defeat. We can eat the imperial reinforcements that come to help, and finally eat the imperial officers and soldiers surrounding the city. This was true in the Battle of Songjin, and even the original Battle of Daling River!"

After Wang Chengen and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.After Wu Sangui explained it, they naturally understood and were a little dumbfounded.

Finally, Wang Chengen quickly asked: "Marshal Wu, do you have any good ideas?"

After Wu Sangui heard this, he wanted to say that this situation was unsolvable.After all, we can't defeat Jianlu in the field, so what can we do to break the siege and bring reinforcements?

In the past, the entire army was mobilized to rescue, but they were still eaten by the Jianlu.Not to mention now, the world is in chaos and the court has no troops to mobilize.

He finally sighed in his heart and said: "I can only hope that Jianlu came all the way and the supplies he received are limited, and he cannot cut off our Shanhaiguan supplies for a long time."

After hearing this, Li Yutian spoke quickly and said with a little joy: "Shanhaiguan can supply supplies by sea!"

Wang Chengen was overjoyed when he heard this, but before he could be happy, Wu Sangui asked: "Where can we supply supplies by sea? Tianjin Guards and Jianlu will send troops to sweep them away. Unless they start from the south of the Yangtze River and don't dock, they can reach directly." Shanhaiguan!"

After Wang Chengen and Li Yutian heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other again.

Because in the current situation, it is simply unrealistic to ship directly from Jiangnan to Shanhaiguan, and I don’t know how much time it will take to contact and organize this matter.

In short, this is unrealistic.

In the lobby, it suddenly became quiet.

There is no way to fight Jianlu in the field. This disadvantage is really too great.Could it be true that the only hope is that Jianlu's food and grass are insufficient and he cannot besieged for a long time.

However, once Jianlu really besieged Shanhaiguan, the food and grass problem would definitely be solved.

Shanhaiguan is a bit dangerous!
Everyone's heart feels a little heavy.

After a while, Wang Chengen suddenly said: "Don't worry, everyone, your Majesty personally leads the army and has won several battles in succession. He will definitely defeat the Jianlu and rescue our Shanhaiguan."

Hearing this, Wu Sangui opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he did not say it.

In his opinion, it was indeed okay for the emperor to lead the army and win several battles.However, that was just fighting against the bandits.It's not like the imperial officers and soldiers have never defeated bandits.

However, when the imperial officers and soldiers fought against the rebels, they really had never won!
If the army led by the emperor really faced Jianlu, it was hard to say whether it could win.

But in this case, it would be too brainless to say it, Wu Sangui is not stupid enough to do this.

In fact, other people also know this truth.Jianlu's awesomeness has already penetrated into everyone's hearts!
The lobby suddenly became quiet, as if there was nothing to say. The only real hope was that Jianlu would not have enough food.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a school captain appeared at the door of the lobby. Before he entered the door, he loudly reported with excitement: "We will not accept any reward at night, and our troops have retreated."

"What?" When Wang Chengen heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked quickly, "Retreat troops, where did they retreat to?"

"Yongping, Qian'an and other places have become empty cities. The main force of the Jianlu forces has moved south. The purpose is temporarily unknown."

When Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Explore again!"

"As ordered!"

Watching the captain go out, Wang Chengen looked at the experienced Wu Sangui and asked: "Commander Wu, why do you think Jianlu is making such noise?" After hearing this, Wu Sangui frowned and thought for a while, and finally answered truthfully: " There is too little information for the general to be able to deduce. At least we need to know where Jianlu went south, and maybe we can know his purpose!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he did not embarrass him. He nodded and said, "That's right. The Jianlu army is in the capital. They can come and leave when they want. How can we know what they are going to do?"

But after a pause, he still asked tentatively: "Could it be that Lord Long Live led the army to help, so Jianlu would take action after hearing the news?"

When Wu Sangui heard this, his expression was serious, and he nodded and said: "It is indeed possible. If Jianlu found out about the movements of your Majesty's army and turned to seek a decisive battle with your Majesty's army, it would be more important than besieging Shanhaiguan. !”

After he said this, several people in the lobby stopped talking.Everyone's expression was solemn.

Clearly, they were worried.

Wang Chengen thought for a while and then said: "Send more troops to go out all night to inquire about the news. If the Jianlu army really goes to attack the army led by Long Live Lord, Shanhaiguan must be rescued!"

King Qin is above all else, at least on the surface.

Wu Sangui and others were unable to refute Wang Chengen's request.No matter how important Shanhaiguan is, can it be more important than the emperor's safety?
However, as I said just now, Jianlu's best trick is to besiege the city and call for reinforcements. Not to mention that the emperor was not rescued, and Shanhaiguan was lost again, right?

The people in the lobby finally dispersed with worries.

On Wu Sangui's side, after returning to his mansion, his trusted general and guerrilla Guo Yunlong asked with concern: "Commander, the brothers are all asking, is there any news about the promised salary?"

After hearing this, Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "The Jianlu suddenly invaded. How can the money be transported from the capital?"

"Could it be that the imperial court is deceiving us again?" Guo Yunlong guessed after hearing this, "With nearly 300 million taels, can the imperial court really take it out and give it to us?"

Wu Sangui heard this but did not answer.

Seeing this, Guo Yunlong said to him again: "With these unpaid silver hair, the morale of our brothers seems to be low, and they are all worried that Jianlu will suddenly attack Shanhaiguan. There are many people who evacuated into Shanhaiguan." It’s their little family, so they must be the first to suffer.”

Between Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion, there are also Funing Guard and Shanhaiwei. The Liao people who had previously withdrawn into the pass were mainly arranged in this area.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he said to Guo Yunlong: "Tell the brothers that the Jianlu army has moved south from Yongping, and it is impossible for the time being to attack Shanhaiguan."

After hearing this, Guo Yunlong felt a little relieved and left without saying anything more.

Wu Sangui was sitting alone, feeling very bad.

There is a crisis of building an army of captives externally, and morale is low internally. The situation is still not good!

The emperor is indeed powerful, but the Jianlu did not give the emperor time to develop. The few troops and horses the emperor currently has are useless against the Jianlu army!
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, he saw Guo Yunlong returning in a hurry.

When Wu Sangui saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Could it be that the soldiers below were arguing about military pay again?

Ever since he calculated the salary arrears and knew that a large amount of salary would be paid, he was always thinking about the money. He was already tired of it.

"Commander, it's incredible, it's incredible!" Guo Yunlong hurriedly entered, shouting loudly, and then found Wu Sangui's gloomy face, so he quickly continued: "There is news just now. His Majesty led the army to annihilate the slave chieftain. Azige’s troops also defeated the slave chief Duduo’s troops, a great victory, a great victory!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately became unhappy and scolded Guo Yunlong: "I treat you well. Are you happy with me?"

When Guo Yunlong heard this, he quickly pointed outside and said, "Commander, listen up, everyone is cheering!"

When Wu Sangui heard this, he heard cheers coming from outside, and they got louder and louder.

Suddenly, he hesitated and asked, "Really?"

When Guo Yunlong heard this, he quickly urged: "Is it true? Marshal, please go find out immediately?"

After hearing this, Wu Sangui no longer hesitated, and immediately hurried to the governor's Yamen with full of doubts.

The army led by the emperor annihilated Azig's tribe and defeated Duduo's tribe. No matter how you think, it is impossible!

When he arrived at the governor's yamen, he saw other people arriving in a hurry, so they entered together.

Then, they discovered that in the lobby where the meeting was held, the Mongolian they had seen before was standing there, talking frothing at the mouth.

Wang Chengen, who was sitting at the main seat in the lobby, saw them coming over and said excitedly: "Say it again, say it to them again!"

Morigen didn't care after hearing this. On the contrary, he was happy to say this thing that made him proud!

So he spoke again: "With the support of King Dengku of Shanxi Shang, the slave chief Azige's tribe cooperated internally and externally. When they just captured Xuanfu City, your majesty led the army to attack. It's ridiculous that the slave chief Azige did not overestimate his ability and actually made a request. Challenge His Majesty to a duel in front of the battle..."

Wu Sangui and others never expected that such a thing would happen, and they were all dumbfounded.

It can be said that from the duel in front of the Azige formation, Jianlu's side made one mistake after another.It is not so unexpected that Kong Youde went to surrender Geng Zhongming, and then fought in Changping and defeated the enemy.

However, when they heard that the emperor had killed more than 100 white-armored soldiers by himself, they were all stunned again.

Is this still a human being?From ancient times to the present, how many people can have such great strength?

To be honest, they can't believe it.

Morigen was really talking about this. I heard him say there: "...His Majesty was so eager to kill that he used the corpses of his white-armored soldiers as hammers, one by one. I didn't believe it at first. After the war, he specially Look, tsk tsk, I always thought His Majesty was very powerful, but I really didn’t expect it to be so strong. I’m really convinced. Anyway, after the war, the lieutenants and generals of the army all took a look at the corpses of the white-armored soldiers, and even many wounded soldiers were Let someone support you and watch!”

People in the lobby were dumbfounded at first, and then became extremely excited.It doesn't matter whether it's a civil servant, a military commander, or an eunuch, it's all the same.

Capture the slave chief Azig alive, and defeat the Jianlu with a comparable force head-on. No matter which one, from now on it can be declared that the Jianlu will be defeated in the field!

No matter what happens, confidence is a very important factor.In the past, when the imperial officers and soldiers faced Jianlu in the field, they had no confidence at all.On their way to Liaodong, many border troops would rather be deserters or fall into disgrace than go to Liaodong.It's because they believe that going to war with Jianlu is basically a narrow escape.

But things are different now.With these two great victories, no one in the imperial court would be so afraid of Jianlu!
Wu Sangui and others were excited, but also very envious of the generals who followed the emperor to fight.Not to mention anything else, the contribution made by these two battles to defeat Jianlu is incredible.

No, the Mo Rigen in front of him participated in the battle of Huairou in Changping, and he was very proud of it, saying that he was very sorry that he was sent to deliver the message, and he would definitely not be able to keep up with the emperor's meritorious rewards in the capital.

However, the best he could do was not make it in time for this ceremony.He can still get the rewards he deserves when he returns.

The facts were indeed as he expected. After returning to the capital after more than half a year of fighting, Emperor Chongzhen would of course fulfill his promise and reward him according to his merits.
