Two days later, Azig and Li Dingguo, who had come with a large army, fought a fierce battle west of the mall and on the east bank of the Guan River.

In this battle, the Great Western Army did not maintain the law of invincibility in the past two years, and at the cost of more than 6,000 casualties, it only managed to kill less than 3,000 Qing troops.

Li Dingguo, who has always been brave and pioneering, was also shot in the left arm by the enemy.

After this battle, Li Dingguo ordered to stick to the mall, and he no longer had the strength to go out of the city to meet the Qing army.

By the afternoon of the next day, Azig and Sun Kewang had jointly completed the siege of the east, south, and west of the mall, and the siege battle was about to break out.

There are not many options left for Li Dingguo, either fight to the death or retreat.

Li Dingguo, who had been refusing to let the Jianxing Dynasty and the Northern Expeditionary Army get involved in Henan, finally made a correct decision at this time, he sent a messenger to the Yongli Emperor, who had already moved to Guanghengyang, Huguang, and sent another person to Wu Zheng for help, and at the same time, urgently asked for help from the nearest Luzhou Jianyangwei, the Beijing army Liao Zhongping's left camp and the Fengyang Fuchi Erhan Division.

……。

At this time, the Qing court was determined for a long time.

Several parties quarreled.

Don't they really know that the situation is at stake?

Of course not, at least everyone else knows it, except for Fu Lin.

But they were still arguing endlessly, in order to snatch the command of the new army formed after Fulin.

Fulin wants to conquer in person, originally there is nothing to blame, Yanzhou is not far from the capital, and the emperor is not impossible to conquer in person.

But this edict was refuted by Shuwang, Hong, Fan and others.

The reason is very simple, the emperor is noble, and he can't go out of the palace easily, let alone the capital, let alone the battlefield, the sword has no eyes.

This scene is very familiar, from ancient times to the present, except for the founding emperor who immediately won the world, the scholars and doctors are like this "hard persuasion" of the emperor, the reason is not complicated, just imagine, once the emperor really enjoys with the people and the army, so many things can't be hidden.

Just like an emperor in the Qing Dynasty, when he went out of the palace to eat chicken, he realized that it was only more than 80 yuan to eat a whole chicken, not 120 taels recorded in the imperial dining room.

Since Fu Lin could not conquer in person, someone had to command the army south.

How did this person come from?

Who referrals?

Who is eligible to be referred?

This became the reason for the dispute between the Qing court and the court.

It can be said that for the Qing court at this time, those who are in charge of the new army are in charge of the Qing court.

There are three voices in the court, one is the commander of Bolo, he is the commander of the 100,000 new army, the commander of both the battalion of firearms, and he is the cousin of Prince Zong and Fulin, as the general of the new army, it can be said that he is justified.

But Fulin refused to agree, yes, he originally arranged for Boluo to guard the three guards in Tianjin, if he gave Boluo two more battalions of soldiers and horses, wouldn't he faintly fight against the imperial court?

At that time, Fu Lin wants to take back the military power, but what if Bolo doesn't agree?

Does the imperial court still have the financial resources to form a new army?

Another voice, that is, to add the general Aobai, put the new army under his command to defend Yanzhou, Aobai is also a veteran of the three dynasties, and his military achievements are impressive, anyway, he is already in Yanzhou at this time, it can be said that the moon is the first to get the moon near the water, it is logical.

This offer was very popular with the courtiers, but Bolo did not agree.

Bolo is a dignified prince, although Ao Bai has the title of Baturu "the first warrior of Manchuria", it can be said that death is only a first-class marquis, and it is not ridiculous to let a prince be subordinated to the first-class marquis? And Bolo obviously will not give up the military power of the two battalions of Jianrui and Firearms.

If the imperial court comes by force, Bolo, who has now collected the officials of the former Dolgon faction, is obviously not easy to get along with.

The last voice is actually compromise and reconciliation, that is, let Fu Lin lead the general in the name of pro-conquest, with Kubilong and Bolo as deputy generals, and each lead the Tiger Gun Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Jianrui and Firearms Battalions, respectively, from Henan and Shandong to the south, to deal with the attack of the Great Western Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This plan was approved by Fulin, and Bolo couldn't object.

But then, the characterization of this war was disputed by several parties.

Whether it is a decisive battle or a war to promote peace, a local war or a national war, is related to whether the focus of the government is on the economy or war.

In order to meet the needs of Fulin to form this 100,000 new army, the treasury has run out of rats, and the Jin merchants have also scraped hard, so that if the eight imperial merchants throw themselves into Hong and Fan, this is the hidden pain in Zierharang's heart, and it is also the main reason why he was criticized by the clan relatives for taking charge of the Zongren Mansion.

Otherwise, Bolo's entry into Beijing would not have regrouped the suppressed officials of Dolgon's faction so easily, among them, the Beijing clan had secretly helped Bolo a lot, and Zilharang knew it.

But if he wants to use this to make a move on the clan, Zilharang has no plans to do so, after all, he still wants to win the support of the clan and lay the foundation for him to ascend to the pole.

And Hong and Fan, who have always advertised that they focus on "emperor" and "state affairs", are in a swinging situation at this time, they want to fight a decisive battle with the Jianxing Dynasty, but they are also worried about the safety of the huge amount of money invested in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, even if all the branches opened by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in Jiangbei are sealed, it is a drop in the bucket, it is nothing more than some shops, personnel and some working capital, and even the shops are rented, which is not worth a few silver.

There are three main destinations for the silver raised by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the first is undoubtedly to fill the pit of the Finance Department of Wu Zheng's General's Mansion, and the second is also on Wu Zheng's road, a large number of Songjiang New Town purchased, and the idle land inside and outside the city is hoarded, although the land price is rising every day, but if you want to realize it, then hehe, I am afraid that if you sell it out of one percent, you can hit the land price back to the bottom.

The third item is slightly better than the previous two, more than 160 600 to 800 stone sea ships, month after month in the north and south, engaged in ordinary businessmen can not reach the forbidden business, this is the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce continues to pour into the source of liquidity, with the daily gold is insufficient, should be called the daily into ten gold, 100 gold is appropriate.

If there is a local war, both sides can ignore commercial and trade exchanges, but if they really want to fight a decisive battle or a national war, then the first thing to ban is these forbidden businesses.

There is a way that the ship is small and good to turn around, and ordinary businessmen can turn their business to the interior of the north and south in time, but the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has to sit back and wait, just for the more than 100 large sea ships and tens of thousands of employees in the north and south, the speed of blood loss can be called the speed of a leopard.

It's not that Hong and Fan are reluctant to give up the money, of course, they are indeed reluctant.

But if there is really a conflict with the national war, the two of them have made the consciousness of giving up things from the outside, and there are still some.

The question is, can they give up what is outside of them, and can others, their supporters, easily give it up?
