Win the Ding 1617

"Thousands of dead slaves Yue Le cried blood and knelt in front of the emperor's father and the regent: the slave was ordered to follow General Pingnan to cross the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. On top of that, I responded to the call and surrendered... However, the Battle of Shanghai damaged tens of thousands of our Qing soldiers, burned more than a thousand captured boats, and lost artillery, supplies, and food. Erge and other generals and officials were killed. The pseudo-rebel Li Shouhan took the opportunity to counterattack aggressively, and the momentum was the same for a while. Most of the land in the south of the Yangtze River was lost."

Yue Le's apology was sent to Beijing overnight at a speed of [-] miles, and it was placed on Dorgon's desk.Listening to the pen post and reading to him about the death of Luck Dehun and others, and the failure of the Shanghai Battle, Dorgon knew in his heart that it was not Yue Le's fault. Even Nanjing is lost.

What's more, Yue Le launched a surprise attack to conquer Suzhou in one fell swoop, and punched Li Huabao hard in the face, which was going strong, interrupting his idea of ​​joining forces with his brother-in-law Shi Lang in Taihu Lake.Had to stop to rectify and consolidate the site, which also bought time for the Qing army's next strategic move.

Yue Le's attack on Suzhou was actually a tactical attack before the strategic contraction.It's all about gaining time and space.He stayed in Suzhou for several days, watching those officials and gentry hunt and kill wantonly inside and outside the city, killing the Suzhou Mansion in the land of heaven like a sea of ​​blood and corpses.Then he got up and came to Nanjing with the seized food and money and nearly a thousand ships of various sizes.

This report in front of Dorgon is to explain his thoughts: withdraw the main force of the Qing army in Jiangnan at this time to Jiangbei, leave Jiangnan to the officials and gentry everywhere, and let them fight the Hongwu army for a few days before talking about it.

As for the withdrawal of the main force of the Qing army to Jiangbei and deploying it between the Huaihe River, Canal, and Yellow River in Jiangbei, Yue Le also made it very clear that all kinds of armed forces in this large area will be cleaned up, the canal will be opened, and Shandong Lumahong, Wu The Xingsuo troops were compressed to the Yimeng mountainous area or rushed to the Denglai seaside.Don't let them continue to harass the Qing army's side and rear, and give the Qing army a sap and a kitchen knife from time to time.

For other armed forces headed by Xie Qian, Yue Le advocated treating them differently. Those who have loyalty in their hearts, appease them."

In addition, Yue Le's suggestion to place the soldiers between the Jianghuai River Transport has another purpose.This is an economically developed area second only to Jiangnan.Needless to say, the grain-producing areas, moreover, there is the land of Huaiyang, which is known as rich and prosperous, and it is convenient to raise military salaries.Moreover, it is densely populated, and it is very easy to recruit soldiers to supplement the army.In the land of Huaihe River, there are floods and disasters almost every year. People on both sides of Huaihe River struggle between life and death every year.

Historically, the Huaihe Army, the Beiyang Army, and the National Revolutionary Army all regarded the Huaihe River area as a source of troops for the army, and randomly sent a recruiting committee member to take some to the ocean.Therefore, they also summed up a set of experience, the more natural disasters come, the better the opportunity for us to replenish the army.For example, the great floods in the Yangtze River Basin in the 1930s became the best support for the National Revolutionary Army to provide cannon fodder for the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army.

Forget it, let’s not talk, digress.

Moreover, placing a large force between the Jianghuai River Transport has another advantage. The traffic here extends in all directions. If you go north, you can defeat Lumahong's troops in Shandong.To the west, you can support the Qing army in Hubei, Sichuan and other places.

"What do you think of the incrimination book that King An Jun gave me?" After listening to the pen, he read Yue Le's document not so much as an inspection and apology, but as a strategy for the next step. , slowly opened the mouth to ask the people present.

Except for his younger brother Duoduo, almost all Han civil servants were present.In addition to Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and I who have served as old slaves, Hong Dushi, who has just returned to Beijing from Nanjing, is also among them.Besides him, the other Hanchen was quite conspicuous and embarrassing.

These few are not only older than him (qualified to be traitors), but also, they are all bannermen.Only he was not only a civil servant who surrendered after the Qing army invaded Beijing, he had almost no seniority at all, and he was also a veteran of the three dynasties.

The so-called elders of the three dynasties mean that he and a group of Ming officials represented by him first professed their ministers before the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu You, and then served allegiance in front of the Yongchang Emperor Li Zicheng. The minister under Dorgon's arm.

Others are called the elders of the three dynasties, and they have to survive for a long time, until the emperors have passed away one by one.It is much easier for these people to be the elders of the three dynasties, and it will be enough in just over 40 days.

Moreover, this kind of person's ability to reproduce is particularly strong, and the offspring will reproduce, and the evil seed will be passed on. Who dares to say that there is no such thing?For example, the melon pickers who made a statement overnight to embroider the red flag, and the chameleon brother who supported the cooking movement and performed more than a dozen programs alone at the conference, who is not a filial son and grandson of this generation?

His name is Feng Quan.He is even better at it.

Let's not say more about Feng Quan's deeds, so as not to be banned. (The author who speaks unkindly has already offended many people, and it is a fluke to be able to survive until now.) In a word, his early experience in the Imperial Academy was basically a pornographic novel, in which he played the role of a shou.It was because of this experience that he went from the main force of the Donglin Party to Wei Zhongxian in a fit of anger, and became the backbone of the Eunuch Party.Not only the backbone, but also the righteous son of Eunuch Wei, who was promoted step by step by Nine Thousand Years, and became a university student in Wuyingdian, Minister of the Household Department, and Prince Taibao.With great power in hand and backing, it is natural to liquidate Donglin's accomplices back then.As a result, Miao Changqi, the criminal who consigned him to rice in the Hanlin Academy, and other members of the Donglin Party were all arrested and killed.However, it was because of this happy grievance that Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Eunuch Wei was killed, and Feng Quan was listed on the eunuch list.However, this person did have some tricks. Cui Chengxiu and others from the eunuch party all died, but he was only punished by being demoted.

Dorgon led the Qing army into Beijing, and immediately wrote a letter to summon him to come to the inner court with the original title of a bachelor to assist the maintenance. Now, he is a senior scholar of the Hongwen Academy of the Imperial Academy and an official envoy of the Minister of Rites.

Compared with Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, Hong Chengchou and others mentioned above, Feng Quan's qualifications are naturally inferior to them.However, he also has his advantages that these few people cannot compare with.That is, he has been in the power center of the Ming court for a long time, and he is familiar with government affairs and various situations.In this regard, don't say that Fan Wencheng is worse than me, even Hong Chengchou sighs.You know, although Governor Hong has a high position and authority, after all, he has been leading troops to fight outside for a long time. He is far less familiar with political affairs and local conditions than Feng Quan.

This is why Dorgon wants to accept him as his confidant.

These few are either Dorgon's own younger brothers, or people in the core circle of power in the Manchurian period, or they are regarded as guides, or they are familiar with the internal situation of Ming Dynasty, whichever one is pulled out is at hand. A person who would shake half the city if he stomped his feet in Beijing.Only the one kneeling on the corner, quite conspicuous, is Chen Banda.

As a head craftsman, he was able to attend such a high-level meeting, not to mention the few people in front of him, even himself, when he received the order last night, he was a little confused.If it hadn't been for Dorgon's confidant Ba Yala Zhangjing who came to proclaim the decree, and also his acquaintance, Chen Ban would have suspected that someone was playing a prank on him.

Except for Chen Banda, which of the remaining people is not a veteran who has experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years?As soon as he heard Dorgon's tone, he knew that the Lord Regent had already agreed, at least half agreed to Yue Le's proposition, otherwise, he wouldn't be called King An.Not calling him by his first name or yelling at a damned minion or something is pretty self-explanatory.

The leaders already have basic opinions, what are you waiting for?Hurry up to find a way for the leader's decision, oh, no, just provide a basis.

Jiangnan will not be able to take advantage of it for a while, so the main force will be withdrawn to Jiangbei, and Jiangnan will be thrown to those demoted officials and local gentry, and let them organize their own volunteers or recruit soldiers and horses to fight with the Hongwu army. also good.The imperial court won't care about your life and death, even if you can't win any battles, if you can make Li Shouhan feel more disgusted and restrain his troops, when the third world war breaks out, at that time, hehe!Oh, I went to the wrong set again, this is not the plot of Jiang Zhongcai issuing commission certificates to bandits everywhere!

Anyway, we have also robbed a lot of money from Jiangnan, so we simply let Yue Le bring it back, and it is necessary to pay the soldiers and horses everywhere!

As for withdrawing the main force in the south of the Yangtze River and cleaning up the north of the Yangtze River first, and opening up the canal, this is even more agreed by Duoduo, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others.Duoduo and Hong Chengchou have experienced the canal. It was originally a smooth north-south artery. As a result, today the sluice here was blown up, and tomorrow the section of the embankment was occupied by rebels.That's not to mention, the prefectural capitals and counties along the canal are also constantly changing the king's banner on the top of the city, being sawsawed back and forth by various armed forces.If we want to change this situation, we can only temporarily call back the Jiangnan soldiers and horses to deal with Jiangbei.

"Prince Yu and Grand Master Hong. The two of you are going to Jinan. After King An's troops return to Jiangbei, you might as well station in Yangzhou or Huai'an. The three of you will work together from north to south to clear the area from Shandong to Jiangbei!"

"Mr. Fan, you make a decree to order the Prince of England to lead the army and deal with the Western thieves Sun Kewang, Zhang Dingguo and others. Well, there is another decree for Pingxi King Wu Sangui to lead his troops to Sichuan. Thieves leveled!"

Fan Wencheng naturally understood that many of Pingxi King Wu Sangui's subordinates came from Denglai's Tuntian soldiers, and they could be regarded as Liang Guogong's subordinates.Even among the original Liaodong soldiers and horses, Li Huamei had a lot of godsons.Letting these people fight against the Hongwu army is tantamount to letting the green lions, white elephants, and golden-haired roars fight with their own masters.Not to mention them, even the dead soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchuria, who were greeted by Ao Lei Yilan, suddenly mutinied on the battlefield?We simply asked Wu Sangui to beat up Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons. You beat us to death, so we can rest easy.

Everything is easier first and then harder. After the meat is eaten, all that is left is the bones.The next thing to face is, after withdrawing the troops back to Jiangbei, and transferring Azig and Wu Sangui to fight Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, what should Li Shouhan in Jiangnan do?Could it be that after he calmed down those fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the south of the Yangtze River, he suddenly crossed the Yangtze River one morning and appeared in front of your kang?

Since today is the prelude to you, I want to tell you why.

"Fight! Fight with Li!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.Thinking about it carefully, since Li Shouhan appeared in the sight of the Qing army, the Qing army has suffered a series of losses.Soldiers and servants suffered countless losses, not to mention many nephews and brothers in the family also fell under his guns.

"We were not afraid of him when we were in Liaodong, but now we have entered Beijing. Second brother, you are now the regent. You must fight Liang Guogong to the end! Otherwise, I'm afraid someone will make irresponsible remarks!" Although Duoduo is known for being rude, but he also heard a lot of different voices inside the Eight Banners.

So, no matter what, you must fight, fight resolutely!

Dorgon glanced at his younger brother approvingly, but frowned again and shook his head slightly.

Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others also agree with Duoduo's statement.However, like Dorgon's attitude, they always feel that something is missing.

"Prince Regent, Prince Yu, my lords, I have something to ask. Of course, we have to fight. What exactly is it? What is the end? Or, what is the purpose of fighting to the end?"

Feng Quan's words pierced the window paper, and Hong Chengchou began to look at the colleague in front of him seriously.Although Feng Quan was a bit older at this time, after all, he was an extremely beautiful person when he was young, and he was quite a bit of a young lady.Bah bah!It is the appearance of Zhuoran, personable.Immediately, Governor Hong admired him abnormally.

Gong saw the pleasing to the eye, so naturally he had to blend it well.Bah bah bah!It is a sympathy for each other, and there is a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, so it is natural to discuss a few words.

"I don't know what advice Master Feng has to offer?"

"I don't dare to teach you two words. I just want to do my part as a courtier. To share the worries for the regent and the emperor." Feng Quan consciously did not look at the fiery eyes of Governor Hong. He has seen this kind of eyes a lot. .

"Based on my stupidity, I'm afraid that Prince Yu is thinking at this moment, what kind of nonsense is this guy asking! Naturally, he wants to wipe out Li Shouhan's rebels, rule the world, and unite the whole country. Prince Yu, is what I said true or not?" Feng Quan intentionally imitated Duoduo's tone and voice when speaking.

After all, it is a person who can save his family's life after Wei Zhongxian's downfall. This ability to adapt to the situation is beyond the reach of Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and others.Duduo couldn't help but smile, "You are like a roundworm in the king's stomach. That's right, that's exactly what the king thinks!"

In fact, not only Dodo thinks so, but why doesn't Dorgon think so.However, if you want to go back to thinking, can you do it?

"Your Majesty, I served as the Chief Farmer in the former Ming Dynasty, and I have some experience in the affairs of the imperial treasury. Although he was persecuted by the Donglin traitors and returned to his hometown, he was still in the Jianghu. Temple. I still pay attention to the affairs of the court. Ever since Li Shouhan came to Beijing to pay tribute in the reign of Chongzhen, I have paid attention to observe this person and have correspondence with my colleagues everywhere. If it is not a coincidence, I will pack up and go south He has traveled to the fundamental place of Nanzhong."

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu, Lord Hong, your knowledge of Li Shouhan, his subordinates, and his lair is all from pen, ink, and paper. You have all dealt with Li Shouhan. For this person, you are more important than students. Learn more."

Dorgon's eyelids couldn't help but twitched a few times, and he thought of the continuous sound of rockets and shells falling on Tashan Mountain, the shouts of killing wave after wave in his ears, and the young talents of the Eight Banners leading the team one after another. Rush up, and in a blink of an eye, the numbers that turned into corpses or severed hands and feet were carried down.

Hong Chengchou thought of the grain and rice supplies, ordnance and armor from Nanzhong, as well as the invincible model brigade on the battlefield of chasing and suppressing thieves everywhere, and on the Liaodong battlefield.

These two people are people with Ayutthaya in their hearts, even though their hearts are torn apart, their faces are calm as usual.Only Doduo, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, he let out a few long breaths, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and seemed to swallow back the words on his lips.

"You dog...Mr. Feng, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

"The weak fight against the strong, the weak benefit from the victory, and the strong benefit from wrestling; the rich and the poor litigate, the poor are happy to settle quickly, but the rich are happy to last." Feng Quan first said in an outline, Dang even changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask, compared with Li Shouhan, what is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty? What about the food and wealth? What about the young men who can be used to join the army? What about the food and salaries, armor, weapons, gunpowder, etc. ?”

Compared with Li Shouhan, the Qing Dynasty is poor!And he is still the kind of poor person who eats the last meal and worries about the next meal.This was summed up by the Dorgon brothers as early as in Liaodong.

"The regent is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu. Recently, I was listening to the Hanlin Academy talk about the History of the Three Kingdoms. The records in the history books are even more comparable to the words of non-novelists. Although Zhuge of the Shu Han is known as invincible, he is often The food was exhausted and the troops had to retreat. In my humble opinion, if I were Li Shouhan, I would use a large amount of food and supplies to fight against our Qing soldiers, until the moment when my Qing had no choice but to retreat with hatred!"

With a sound of "Gudong", Duoduo fell off the chair, his face was pale and pale, but his fingers kept pointing at Feng Quan tremblingly, "You, you..."

"Fifth brother! Don't be rude! Wu Liangfu! Move the chairs for the gentlemen and order some snacks! I want to listen to Mr. Feng's advice."
