I have a cornucopia

Chapter 173 A traitor’s self-cultivation
A reformed Zhang Xianzhong, a Jiangnan court who was obviously trying to survive, a Li Zicheng who was recharging his energy, a Dorgon whose strength had been greatly reduced but still had the ability to go south...

Dorgon's loss was actually not fatal.

After all, the losses in previous sieges were basically cannon fodder.

On the other hand, these are genuine Eight Banners athletes in Xinshengzhou, but the actual Eight Banners Manchurians only have about three thousand. In addition to the deaths from previous diseases, there are also sporadic deaths. The Eight Banners Manchurians he lost this time were not even as many as when he first invaded Shandong. many. Most of the losses in that time were from the Eight Banners Manchuria, but in fact, most of the losses in the Dezhou battle were cannon fodder, or the miscellaneous Ming troops who surrendered in the pass, regiment training, and young men, in short, mainly this type. Therefore, compared with the original historical strength of the Eight Banners Manchuria in the early years of Shunzhi, the Eight Banners Manchuria has been basically weakened by one-third so far, but even if two-thirds are left, this is still the strongest field army in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they still have the ability to actively attack in any direction.

Failure really doesn't mean they can't fight.

The Battle of Shandong was the result of their rash advancement beyond their capabilities.

Originally, whenever the Ming army was decent in history, it would still cause them heavy losses.

An army that has no logistics, relies entirely on looting for supplements, and has no heavy weapons, dares to attack thousands of kilometers deep in a land with tens of millions of people, countless cities, and even large mountainous areas. It is very abstract in military terms... …

It would be even more abstract to be able to evacuate smoothly.

This is really...

The messenger said.

It is very simple to cross the river in Duduo, Jiujiang.

Dorgon actually learned the news that Yang Feng blocked Duoduo in Xinshengzhou that night.

They actually have no other choice.

In the end, it was still destroyed by Yang Feng, and another adventurous advance was formed. In an inappropriate season, he ventured thousands of miles to face the strong city again on a battlefield that was severely acclimatized. In the end, he failed again as expected. The Battle of Wuchang was actually a failure for Dorgon when Yang Feng eliminated Zuo Menggeng. The reason why he continued the fight was just to consume a wave of people who were short of food. He also withdrew the troops because he did not want to continue the fight. That’s all.

It was so good that Dorgon did not hesitate to conquer it himself.

He pulled out perfectly.

This can't be blamed on Dorgon, after all, he didn't expect anyone to be able to summon from the void.

Ten thousand Qing troops are enough.

Downstream is Yuan Jixian. The rabble he has in his hands does not require the Eight Banners Manchuria to take action. A few thousand Mongolian and Han troops are enough. In fact, most of his men are newly recruited strong men.

Yang Feng answered simply.

He could even conquer Jiujiang and reach Hukou.

They suddenly retreated without warning, so that by the time Yang Feng got the news, most of the Qing troops had already completed crossing the river.

This is actually Sunahai.

But his task is not difficult, all he needs is to live to see his father.

It wasn't until the next day that he learned that his brother had been captured alive by Yang Feng.

In short, you have to go to Xi'an and ask for orders from our Emperor. "

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Then Dorgon, who was still withdrawing his troops, immediately ordered all the troops to return to Hankou, pretending to be about to attack again, and sent an envoy to find Yang Feng to replace him. He said that this was his biological brother, and Duduo was also his most beloved. As the main supporter, Azig is not as good as Dodo in this regard. He can be said to be Dorgon’s right-hand man...

They lost at the back of the battlefield.

"Shaobao, our regent has said that as long as you release King Yu, he is willing to release your prince."

No matter what reforms, they can't change the reality of insufficient food. There are only those things, and no matter how hard they try, they won't come out of thin air. If they don't want to implode, they have to plunder from the outside. This is the only option, and the closest one is Shandong.

"This is really frustrating!
I know that your heart is full of unwillingness and anger now, but you have to know that your unwillingness and anger will continue until you are tied to the rack in Lingchi. "

And they don't have to fight against Texas in the winter like before.

This is already three days later.

And they can't count the Battle of Texas as losing on the battlefield.

He was sent by Dorgon to replace Duduo.

But a tank of liquefied natural gas summoned from the present era ruins his future.

Of course, Duduo's loss was purely accidental.

Originally, even if Yang Feng blocked the pontoon bridge, Duduo would probably have to retreat to the south bank and lead his army downstream to look for opportunities to cross the river.

Yang Feng looked at Duduo and said viciously.

But not sure about life or death.

Sunahai looked at him deeply...

"Don't change!"

"Shaobao, that is your prince. Since you are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to get him back?"

A Qing army officer in front of him said while holding back his anger.

My Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty has been nailed to a shelf now. I have to say that a military commander of his age is still very tenacious. Although he suffered serious internal injuries, he actually recovered and passed the most serious period of danger. , it seems that there should be no problem waiting until Lingchi alive. On the other side of him was Zuo Mengeng, who had also been nailed. The latter's injury had actually healed for the most part, so although he was very weak on the shelf, he was still in good spirits, and he should have no problem holding on until Ling Chi.

Yang Feng just used a strong fortress to wear them down until their health bar reached the bottom before counterattacking. However, the Qing army withdrew gracefully before their health bar reached the bottom. Until now, the opposite side of Texas still belongs to them. Yang Feng still does not have the ability to counterattack and retake those strongholds. At least his troops and his supporters in the rear do not want to bear the huge losses of the counterattack for the time being. Otherwise, Yang Feng would not have needed to open up the canal and play with the Qing army on the Great Water Wall. In fact, after the winter freezes, the Qing army is likely to attack Shandong again.

"What is the use of you asking me for this matter? I have said that the public is public and the private is private. The exchange between me and Dorgon for Sister Da Yu'er is private. She is a slave given to me by His Majesty. Since she is my slave, I Of course, you can do anything with her, including exchanging her for Queen Yi'an, but Duduo is a prisoner of war that I captured. This is a business matter. If you want to replace her, you have to ask your Majesty. If His Majesty decrees that I exchange Duduo for her. Prince, of course I will change, but I have no right to exchange with you privately without an imperial edict.

Otherwise, attack Li Zicheng?
Li Zicheng doesn’t have what they want!
Even if they kill Li Zicheng, they still won't get food!
Li Zicheng even ate sweet potato vines!
Going south this time was a great opportunity...

It’s clear that I don’t want to change!
How could Li Zicheng agree? He wished that the South would continue to maintain this bulk state. He would definitely not let Zhu Cihong come back.

"Shaobao, if this is the case, we will have no choice but to continue fighting."

He said.

"Do you threaten me?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Shaobao, I am just telling you a fact. The King of Yu and the Regent are close relatives, flesh and blood brothers. If you kill the King of Yu, the Regent will have no choice but to fight you to the bitter end. Although you are strong, you are still weak after all. One person, without you, no army in the Ming Dynasty can stop the Qing Dynasty from attacking with all its strength. You don’t want the Qing Dynasty to defeat the Anton Guard when you are in Wuchang, right?
You also have brothers and sisters. "

Sunahai said. Yang Feng walked up to him and looked at him. Sunahai looked at him with a brave attitude.

The next moment Yang Feng slapped him in the face.

Sunahai fell to the ground instantly. Before he could wake up from the heavy blow, Yang Feng had already pulled out the knife of the officer next to him and cut off one of his arms. Then, as he screamed, Yang Feng's knife continued to hit him. When it fell, Sunahai turned into a human stick in the blink of an eye.

"Send it back!
Go back and tell Dorgon for me, stop pretending in front of me.

I was obviously helping him by killing Duduo. The good days when he could hold two white flags by himself have returned. As for him wanting to continue the war, I'm very curious. Did our Ming dynasty cease war with your Jianlu? "

Yang Feng inserted the knife back and looked at Sunahai who was screaming on the ground and sneered.

The soldiers who had been waiting on both sides immediately stepped forward to give Sunahai some care. After all, he could not let him bleed to death before he saw Dorgon, and then dragged him down. As he left, He Tengjiao He walked to Yang Feng with an anxious look on his face...

"Shaobao, Nanjing Supervisor of the Country."

He said.

"Supervise the country? Where did the supervising country come from in Nanjing?"

Yang Feng said in shock.

"Princess Kunxing, the princess was recommended by the ministers. She served as the governor of the country for the time being. She also appointed Ma Shiying as the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Guangguang as the minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and Jin Sheng, the censor of Qiandu in the past, as the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In addition, the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Jiliao and the governors south of the Huaihe River and the Duke of Guizhou and other ministers guarding the garrison were ordered to supervise the country. From the day the edict arrived, all military and political affairs were in compliance with the edict of the supervising country. Then it will be submitted to the Supervisor for a decision."

He Tengjiao said while holding the two edicts that had just been delivered to him.

One for him.

One for Yang Feng.

Of course, when the order was issued, they certainly did not know that he had arrived in Wuchang and that Dorgon had already relieved the siege and retreated north.

This was intercepted by Yuan Jixian in Jiujiang and transferred to Wuchang.

The latter already knew the news about the Wuchang siege.

Wang Yuncheng led his troops to recover the Qing troops who stayed on the south bank. Some Qing troops surrendered and were killed by him. Even Wuchang County, including Huangzhou Prefecture, had been recovered at this time. Of course, Huangzhou Mansion was owned by the local gentry, and Du Yinxi had already gone back. As for how he dealt with these guys, that was his business. Anyway, he took Wang Yuncheng with him. While He Tengjiao sent a letter to Yuan Jixian to inform him that the siege of Wuchang had been resolved, he also told him that in the future, urgent reports to the governor of Huguang would be sent directly to Wuchang according to the original route.

Of course Yang Feng's is also included.

"Well, since it was recommended by the princes in the south of the Yangtze River, I have nothing to say. Although it is indeed unprecedented for a princess to supervise the country, she is the only one among His Majesty's children, so there is indeed no choice.

What a stopgap measure!
Understandable!

If she doesn't uphold the legacy of her father and brother, who will? "

Yang Feng said with a hypocritical face.

He Tengjiao despised this guy's shamelessness.

This was obviously Ma Shiying's attempt to flatter Yang Feng.

With He Tengjiao's IQ, he certainly understood Ma Shiying's real purpose of doing this. Was the latter trying to push the princess to power? That was obviously to recommend Yang Feng. Before, the Nanjing ministers headed by Shi Kefa would not at least unconditionally obey Yang Feng. But now it is the princess who supervises the country. As long as Yang Feng doesn't say that he wants to wear a yellow robe, he probably won't ask for any princess. Rejection, in fact, if he was really shameless and simply defiled the princess, then it would not be impossible for him to wear a yellow robe. Ma Shiying's move was extremely cunning. This move not only made him the princess's auxiliary minister. Even if Yang Feng wanted to usurp the throne in the future, Xiao He would be indispensable. It can be said that he completed a crucial step for Yang Feng. Previously, the Ming Dynasty It's Yang Feng of the Ming Dynasty, but it's Yang Feng, but starting from the time when the princess supervised the country, the Ming Dynasty and Yang Feng began to overlap a little bit.

I understand.

They are all old foxes.

Still pretending here!
"However, I feel that the capture of Duduo should be reported to the supervisor later."

He Tengjiao said.

Well, so does he.

"Uh, why?"

Yang Feng said.

"Shaobao, if we declare to the Supervisory State at this time that the Supervisory State and the Crown Prince are close relatives, they will have to exchange Duoduo for the Crown Prince. In this case, we can't disobey. Why don't we wait for a few days and wait for all the governors from all over the country to comply with the Supervisory State's order before we report it again?" Ming, it doesn’t matter whether he’s left or right, I just want him to continue nailing me.”

He Tengjiao said with a deep smile.

Yang Feng......

"You're still thinking carefully!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

When the governors from all over the country obey the edict of the governor and are actually loyal to the governor, then when the prince is welcomed back, the princess will definitely abdicate and give the position of governor to her brother. Those who previously supported the princess and overseer will all be labeled as princess party members. Tag of. Although the possibility of being purged is indeed low, the possibility of being kicked aside is still very high. Someone like Ma Shiying might really find a chance to kill him.

So as long as they are actually loyal to the princess, and then tell the princess that Duoduo has been captured and Dorgon is willing to trade the prince for Duoduo, then even if the princess agrees, these guys will not hesitate to stop it.

This way there is no need for Yang Feng to come forward.

Otherwise, if he insists on not changing, he will make the princess sad.

But it has nothing to do with him if the ministers are against it.

Of course, in fact, even if the princess insists on changing, it is no big deal. It is nothing more than killing him in advance and then telling the princess that Duduo died of his injuries.

But that would not realize Yang Feng's fun in Yangzhou Lingchi Duoduo.

This is still very important.

He still kept Duduo just for this reason, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.

"One more thing, even if the princess oversees the country now, she will not rebuild the capital and seize the capital. Your Majesty has reported the fact that she moved to Xi'an. What's more, Zhang Xianzhong has not been pacified, there are many bandits in various places, and the chieftains are constantly rebellious. There is an urgent need for important ministers like Shaobao to be in Nanjing to assist the princess. In order to stabilize the country, the lower officials intend to report to the government and ask Shaobao to join the cabinet. "

He Tengjiao said.

Ma Shiying has taken the lead, he cannot fall behind.

"This, according to the rules of the imperial court, cabinet ministers should be from the Hanlin. He has only been a member of the Hanlin for a lifetime. He is already frightened when he reaches the position of governor. How can he dare to spy on cabinet ministers? What's more, the more this happens, the more people are needed to guard the north. Although Yang is a civil servant, But I am used to military affairs, so I will continue to stay in the north to stop the rebels for the Ming Dynasty. As for assisting the princess, it is enough to have the princes. "

Yang Feng quickly said humbly.

Got it, he wants to be Gao Huan.

He Tengjiao understood.
