PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "richardlg".

Zu Dabi responded: "Yes...... When Dolgon ordered the lowly to lead 8,000 Han troops with yellow flags to the south, and when he was stationed in Huai'an City, he did not talk about his deployment to the lowly position, but only ordered the lowly to defend Huai'an, and once the Northern Expeditionary Army came to attack, he had to hold Huai'an for a month. ”

"He didn't tell you to contact Xuzhou and rely on each other?"

"Nope. It was the lowly post that went south first, and the British prince Azig and Yue Lehou went south for half a month. It was not long before the war that he learned that these two had become garrison generals in Xuzhou and Yancheng. ”

Wu Zheng was a little disappointed, in this way, the full picture of Dolgon's deployment, maybe even Azig and Yue Le would not be too clear.

What and how big is the pit that Dolgon dug for himself, I'm afraid only Dolgon knows in his own heart.

Zu Dabi continued: "I was informed before the war that in addition to the original 80,000 garrisons in Xuzhou, Prince Ying also brought 6,000 blue flags and 3,000 blue flags, that is to say, Xuzhou has at least 90,000 troops. And Yancheng Yue Club ....... ”

Speaking of this, Zu Dabi glanced at Wu Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The defenders of Yancheng are actually 30,000 new troops trained by General Luanyi, and at least half of the firearms they use come from Wang Ye Jiangnan. ”

Wu Zheng's face twitched, what he was uncomfortable with was not the firearms purchased by the Qing army from Jiangnan to fight Wu Songwei, in fact, Wu Zheng had already had this mental preparation, this could not be helped, the enemy bought it at a high price, and if he didn't earn this silver, he would also be earned by Hongmao and others.

Wu Zheng's heart palpitated that the new army trained by Shen Zhiyuan and the others finally fought with him on the battlefield.

Wu Zheng was more worried that Shen Zhiyuan and the others also came to Yancheng, so the day when brothers killed each other would not be far away.

"Are Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong in Yancheng?" Wu Zheng asked anxiously.

Zu Dabi shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do...... However, the correspondence and messengers did not mention these two people, so I think they should stay in the capital and not go south. ”

Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "When Dolgon ordered you to lead the army south, he would finally explain something to you, didn't he say anything else except for letting you stick to Huai'an?" ”

Zu Dabi replied: "Yes, yes...... It's just that the first part of the dynasty was destroyed by the prince, and what Dolgon confessed no ...... meaning. ”

"It's okay, just say it."

"Dolgon confessed at that time that if the dynasty succeeded in its rebellion, his sailors would sail north along the canal, and the ships would go straight to the mouth of Dagu...... He ordered the lowly to respond, and assisted his sailors to go north. ”

The dynasty has been killed first, and its subordinates are under the command of Shi Lang, and Zu Dabi's confession is really useless.

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Then do you know that around Huai'an Mansion, in addition to your department, the Azig department, and the Yuele department, there are other Qing troops who have quietly arrived?" This king is right, at least tens of thousands...... Or even tens of thousands of troops. ”

Zu Dabi shook his head blankly and said, "No...... Never! Not to mention tens of thousands, tens of thousands of troops, even if more than 5,000 troops arrive around Huai'an Mansion, there will definitely be scouts to report on their humble duties...... That's impossible! ”

Wu Zheng fell silent, could it be that Dolgon was really poor in donkey skills? Or is it because you're worried?

Seeing Wu Zheng pondering, Zu Dabi hurriedly spoke: "There is a reluctant request for a humble position, and I hope that the prince will allow it." ”

"Speak."

"Our people are all from the north, and if Huai'an City becomes a battlefield, it will bear the brunt...... The prince forgives the sin, not because of his humble duties and cowardice, but because if he fights against the Qing army now, the soldiers of our department are worried that they will affect their families. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "This king didn't plan to use your troops to defend the city, he originally wanted to transfer you back to the south bank, but now it can't be done, the ten thousand cavalry of Fengyang Mansion have cut off the retreat of our army, and your cavalry is too small...... In this way, as long as our reinforcements open the passage, your troops can withdraw to Wusong on the south bank to stand by...... How is it? ”

Zu Dabi stood up and saluted: "Thank you Lord for your success." ”

"You don't have to be polite to this king." Wu Zheng looked at Zu Dabi and said, "Anyway, it's not easy, this king hopes that General Zu won't stumble again, so that he can do it himself!" ”

Zu Dabi paused and said: "If the prince really wants to hold on to Huai'an and wait for help, then Qingjiangpu and Liu Lingtai must be heavily guarded, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "General Zu reminded you well...... However, Jiang Quanyi has already gone to deploy. ”

"That'...... Retired from his position. ”

……。

Night, should be heavenly.

Ma Shiying was really anxious.

He was in the Zodiac Zhou's Mansion at this time, and was sitting in front of Zodiac Zhou, "Lord Huang, no matter what you say, Ma is also the envoy of King Wu, Your Majesty can't do without an explanation, don't you see the envoy of King Wu?" This doesn't make sense! ”

I have been in the capital for three days, and I haven't even seen the emperor's face.

Twice a day, I was blocked by the internal guards.

This made Ma Shiying jump to his feet in a hurry.

The key is that even the first assistant Huang Daozhou can't do it, since Zhu Cihong committed suicide, the emperor adapted the night owl into a brocade guard, the inner palace has become more strict, even if Huang Daozhou wants to face the saint, he has to nod his head and agree.

But Ma Shiying came unfortunately, after the Yixing Dynasty signed an armistice treaty with the Qing court, the great court meeting was once every five days, that is to say, in addition to entering the palace to face the saint, Ma Shiying also had a chance to see the emperor, then the great court meeting, but that had to wait for two days.

Ma Shiying couldn't wait, he pestered Huang Daozhou to find a way for him.

What can be done about the zodiac week?

In this world, any rules can be broken, is there a place for reason?

The emperor said that he would change it, and Jinyiwei said that it would be set up, what did he have to do? Have you informed yourself?

Huang Daozhou smiled bitterly: "Master Ma, since the rebellion of the clan and Zhang Tongchang's violent suppression, Your Majesty has become ...... Suspicious, the palace gate is opened at the beginning and locked at the end, without exception. ”

"Could it be that when an emergency military aircraft happens, Your Majesty will ignore it?"

"It can be conveyed by the palace guard."

Ma Shiying was speechless.

Huang Daozhou said: "In all fairness, it's no wonder Your Majesty, after all...... It's a daughter. ”

Ma Shiying frowned and said: "But Ma always feels that His Majesty deliberately did not meet Ma...... Lord Huang, it is a matter of the success or failure of the prince's war in Jiangbei, you must tell the truth! ”

Huang Daozhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed: "It's easy to tell the truth, but the truth hurts...... Master Ma, did Your Majesty deliberately not receive you, I don't know, I only know that many important ministers can't get their wish when they want to see Your Majesty outside of the court meeting, including me. ”

Ma Shiying said angrily: "The emperor doesn't see his courtiers, how ridiculous is this? Lord Huang is the first assistant of the cabinet, so he doesn't lead the crowd to admonish? ”

"Do you think the old man is powerless?" Huang Daozhou was a little anxious, "But in today's imperial court, the cabinet is just a decoration...... Since His Majesty re-established the Jinyi Guard, and Zhang Tongchang put down the rebellion of the clan, the cabinet has become virtually useless, and half of the power is in His Majesty and half in the ...... of the clan. ”
