The empress dowager and the little emperor of the Qing court were heartbroken that although the Qing army had obtained Huangzhou, De'an, Xiangyang, Chengtian and Jingzhou, four and a half prefectures, they unexpectedly lost the five prefectures of Nanchang, Fuzhou, Linjiang, Raozhou and Guangxin.

After going back and forth, he also lost half of his X.

The key is that Dorobelle, the dignified court and Bolo, the general of the southern expedition, were first captured by the buns of the loyal camp, and then became Wu Zheng's prisoners.

Here, all the face is lost, the problem is, there is no way to vent it.

After all, the Yixing Dynasty's westward expedition was a secret deal between the Yixing Dynasty and the Qing court.

Sent troops by the Yixing Dynasty to clear the loyal battalion that occupied half of Huguang, the Qing court sat and enjoyed its success, and after the war, the Yangtze River was the boundary, the north belonged to the Qing court, and the south belonged to the Yixing Dynasty.

Therefore, the loyal battalion was defeated by the Ming army and retreated south, and the Ming army followed to recover the lost territory, which is reasonable in any respect, and the blame can only be blamed on the Qing army led by Bolo without fighting, and was beaten all over the ground by a rout.

Can this heart not hurt?

If you want to take revenge, not only is the division unknown, but the situation does not allow it.

After the beginning of the year, the progress of quelling the Mongol rebellion was not optimistic, and the 30,000 troops were dragged there and could not be recalled, and he also wrote to the imperial court to send reinforcements.

At the end of last year, the Jiaodong civil unrest that broke out became more and more intense, and tens of thousands of people under the bandit leader Yu Qi had gathered to "cut the rich and help the poor" in Dengzhou and the surrounding areas.

When he learned that the imperial court was unable to send troops to suppress the bandits, Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, was forced to adopt a policy of appeasement, and wrote to the imperial court to recruit An, which was approved by the Qing court, and awarded him the seventh general of Qixia County.

But everyone understands that how can a district and county leader put down tens of thousands of rebellious people?

As a result, the court unanimously agreed to send a mission to the Yixing Dynasty.

But privately, Bumu Butai ordered that the land of Wufu must be recovered, and Dolgon ordered that Bolo must be taken back, and both of them took care of the mission privately, and the imperial court could make some appropriate "compensation" to the Yixing Dynasty.

……。

In the evening of the same day.

Dolgon summoned Shen Zhiyuan to come to the mansion.

At this time, Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong have already been separated from Aixin Jueluo? Dong Gu and Ai Xin Jueluo? Married in Mimi, Togor.

There are also changes in official positions.

The new army was reorganized into the left and right pro-military camps, which was a Han forbidden army independent of the Eight Banners in addition to the Eight Banners Lang Wei and Bing Wei of the Forbidden Brigade.

It has a musket battalion and a cavalry battalion, which are the left guard and the right guard respectively.

Yue Le was officially appointed as the commander of the capital, Shen Zhiyuan was the deputy commander of the musket battalion, and Qian Qiaogong was the deputy commander of the rifle battalion.

Behind the two of them represent the two largest forces in the Qing court, which can be described as immeasurable for a while.

"The son-in-law has seen Lord Yue."

In the face of Shen Zhiyuan's oily tone, Dolgon loved and hated.

This kid is like a loach, slippery.

On weekdays, Dolgon would still joke with Shen Zhiyuan, but now, Dolgon has no mind.

"Zhiyuan, how is the training going?"

"It's not a son-in-law boasting, I have a musket battalion under my command, and I can fight at any time when I pull it out, and I will win a dozen!"

Dolgon was speechless, six thousand musketeers, spent nearly three million taels of silver on the court, and equipped them with firearms, which was exchanged for countless lives.

"That's good." Dolgon said, "Now that Jiangxi has changed, you must have heard that the imperial court intends to use troops in the Yixing Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face froze, and then he smiled: "But according to the orders of Lord Yuezhang!" ”

Half a year has passed early, and Shen Zhiyuan can no longer refuse to fight against the Ming army.

Shen Zhiyuan's expression had already fallen in Dolgon's eyes.

Dorgon asked coldly, "What?" Don't want to go to war with the Ming army yet? ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable, my father-in-law can rest assured, my son-in-law will never excuse me." ”

Dolgon sighed, looked at Shen Zhiyuan a few times, and then said: "But before going south, the imperial court wants to clear the backyard, you have two choices, one is to reinforce Prince Ying to quell the chaos, and the other is to go to Dengzhou to suppress the bandits." ”

Shen Zhiyuan opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, "My son-in-law listened to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law said that I would go wherever I went." ”

Dolgon glanced at Shen Zhiyuan and said, "You are really obedient!" ”

Shen Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The son-in-law only listens to Lord Yue. ”

Dolgon stroked his short beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Hong Chengchou and the others hope that Qian Qiaogong's cavalry battalion will go to reinforce Prince Ying, saying that it is convenient for cavalry. But this king wants you to go, what do you think? ”

"Done!" Shen Zhiyuan replied.

Dolgon snorted, "That's the one word you kid answered?" Do you know that in order to fight for this errand for you, this king almost quarreled with Hong Chengchou and others in the court? ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I know that Master Yue-in-law takes care of his son-in-law. ”

Dolgon laughed and scolded: "Then you have to fight for your own strength, you know, the rebellion of the Mongolian tribes is far above the suppression of bandits?" If you can really do it, then even Prince Ying's 30,000 troops can't do it...... Its merits are enough for you to enter the court. ”

Shen Zhiyuan got up, arched his hand and said solemnly: "The last general is willing to make a military order!" ”

"Good!" Dolgon clapped his hands and praised, "I have made great achievements on horseback, so as to live up to this man's body." If you are triumphant, this king will go out of the city gate to greet you! ”

"The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince!"

When Shen Zhiyuan retired, Dolgon said lightly: "Ju'er has no mother since she was a child, you have to treat her well, if there is anything wrong, don't blame this king for not being emotional." ”

"Yes."

……。

Coincidentally, at this time, in Prince Zheng's mansion.

Zilharang was also talking to his grandson-in-law, Qian Qiaogong.

"The old man really tried his best, in order to give you the opportunity to reinforce Prince Ying and go to Mobei to quell the rebellion, the old man fought with Hong and Fan in court, but it's a pity that ...... You should also know that Dolgon is a great general, and the whole country is in his hands, and the situation is not satisfactory! ”

Qian Qiaogong said calmly: "Fighting everywhere is a fight, winning is the key, in the opinion of the grandson-in-law, so that the new army can win the first battle and temper them is the most important thing, and everything else can be ignored." ”

This is true, a new army has just completed its formation and training, and the first battle is very crucial, and it is naturally best to win, but if it is defeated, this army is basically useless.

Morale is easy to disperse and not easy to condense.

Therefore, the new army is generally asked to fight a few small battles first to sharpen the soldiers, stimulate and build morale. Qian Qiaogong's statement is in line with the art of war.

"Well said!" Zilharang trembled his beard, looked at Qian Qiaogong with appreciation, and said, "At a young age, with such a mind, over time, you will definitely be able to achieve a career...... The old man is waiting for your triumphant good news, and when the time comes, the old man will definitely contact the ministers to ask the emperor for a reward! ”

"Yes."

Zilharang paused, and his tone changed: "There is one more thing...... No matter what the situation is in the future, you must not contact Jiangnan again, remember, remember! ”

Qian Qiaogong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zilharang who was about to speak.

Zilharang interrupted with a shake of his hand, "Don't ask...... Do as I say, it is a matter of life and death, and you should not be careless. ”
