Originally, Wu Zheng thought that it would not be a problem for Ying Tianfu to insist on ten days and a half months.

No, it was only two days before the Qing army accidentally broke the city.

If it weren't for Xia Wanchun's troops arriving in time and turning the tide, I'm afraid that Ying Tianfu would probably have fallen at this time.

But this is not a catastrophe for Wu Zheng's forces.

Weighing the two sides, Wu Zheng may not gain less than he loses, the key lies in his position.

Therefore, it should be said that the victory or defeat of a war depends on which side makes fewer mistakes and does less harm, not how perfect the strategy is, and in fact, changes on the battlefield can never be calculated.

Dorgon had vomited blood more than once.

He gave a few orders at this point.

"Order the 60,000 Qing troops stationed in Xuzhou to go south to Huai'an immediately!"

"Order the Qing army on the south bank to immediately withdraw to Jiangpu and Yizhen!"

"After Nikan has deployed his defenses, he will come to see this king immediately!"

"Urge the imperial court to immediately go south to discuss peace talks."

……。

The Qing court was shaken.

The 180,000-strong army, only seven days from the beginning of the war, has lost nearly half.

Originally, he wanted to occupy Taixing and Jingjiang and surround Yingtianfu.

If you don't want to steal chickens and rice, the Qing army is really "surrounding" Yingtianfu, even if there is only one Yifengmen, it is always considered a soldier in the city.

But Yangzhou Mansion has "fallen", it is a whole place, a major tax town!

From top to bottom, there was a kind of negativity in the Qing court, especially the Han Chen, who suddenly discovered that the Manchu people's combat power was not as terrible as they imagined, and they began to reflect on whether their choice was wrong.

In the Wuying Palace, Zilharang played the impeachment with great righteousness and awe, "The regent is greedy for merit and insists on taking risks...... If the Yangtze River is used to fight against the Yixing Dynasty, although it cannot be a big gain, it will not be a big loss...... The Ming army is across the river, and it is difficult to replenish, even if you want to aid Taixing, under the suppression of my 180,000 army, you must not be able to surpass Lei Chi. In this way, even if Jingjiang can't be captured, Taixing is like a thing in the bag...... It's a pity that the regent is bent on finishing his work in one battle, and he will destroy my 80,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty! This mistake must not be spared! ”

Zilharang represents the royalists, and now the wind is changing above the court.

Dolgon's faction had been silenced, not because they had lost the war and did not dare to speak out, but because Dolgon was seriously ill.

If you lose, it doesn't matter much, just fight again, Dolgon's title of "a generation of war gods" is not in vain.

But if Dorgon dies at this time, it will be all over, and the followers will be like fish on a board, to be slaughtered.

Dorgon has no heirs, no, there is one, that is, Dolbo, who passed from Dorgon, but he is only seven years old now, how can he inherit Dorgon's power?

Even the little emperor was twelve years old, five years older than Dolbo.

How to fight it?

At least the little emperor has a righteous protection.

Therefore, the arrogant and domineering Dolgon party in the past all bowed their heads and chests at this time, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Fan Wencheng was even more pointed, and he came out and said: "...... However, if the official recital refers to the emperor's uncle regent as the ninth prince, or if he does not use his full name and omits words, he will be dismissed. What's more, wherever the palace salutes His Majesty, its kneeling and worship are stopped, and from ancient times to the present, it is unheard of for ministers not to bow to the king...... In the past, he blocked the kings, Baylor, Beizi, and Gong from entering the court to do business, and even regarded the regent palace as the court...... The guards of honor, instrumental music, and guards used are all pretending to be supreme...... Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, this evil is too much to write! I beg your majesty to punish him, purge the court, and correct the law of the country! ”

There was silence in the temple.

This is probably the biggest storm since Dolgon gained power.

In fact, Dolgon did make a mistake, and in his capacity, he should have directly usurped the throne or established himself two years earlier, instead of procrastinating, because time was not on his side.

The emperor is young, and the young ministers are suspicious, but as they grow up, the hearts of the courtiers will gradually become firm.

So, the further back on, the more difficult Dorgon's situation became.

It's a pity that Dolgon's heart is not ruthless enough, and he is still thinking about marrying a widowed sister-in-law and dreaming of the emperor's Spring and Autumn Festival.

The monarchs and ministers in the palace, the happiest is the little emperor Fulin.

In addition to the loss of 80,000 troops, Fulin was even more pleased with Dorgon's mistake.

Look, all of a sudden, there was a voice accusing Dolgon in the court, it was so good!

At this time, Fu Lin had a kind of pride in his shriveled chest, that is-pro-government!

Fu Lin said loudly: "What Zhu Aiqing said is very true, I ...... it. ”

"Emperor!"

A soft snort came from Bumu Butai's mouth, forcing Fulin to shut up.

He was a little frustrated, annoyed, and more disgusted.

He knew that in addition to the mountain that oppressed him, there was also the old witch behind him.

A mother who can make her own son hate it so much should indeed reflect on it.

But Bumu Butai obviously does not have this kind of consciousness, she is still bent on protecting her children, but the gap between mother and son is getting deeper and deeper.

Bumu Butai knew very well what these "royalists" were going to do, and she knew even more that if the emperor really responded to the demands of these courtiers, then a civil war would break out, and how could Dolgon's party be captured?

That's not 80,000 deaths, it's probably 800,000.

In such a situation, the Qing Dynasty is afraid of dying!

Therefore, Bumu Butai stopped Fu Lin's recklessness in time, and she spoke: "The regent has indeed underestimated the enemy this time, resulting in the death of 80,000 troops...... But the regent has made a great contribution to the country, and he is punished for losing the first war, which is afraid that it is cold. Such...... The mourners believed that at the suggestion of the regent, an embassy should be sent immediately to negotiate an armistice with the Yixing Dynasty, and that this battle could not be fought like this again. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the temple.

The "royalists" were surprised by Bumubutai's temporary "mutiny", while Dolgon's party, like Monte's pardon, secretly rejoiced and thanked Bumubutai.

What a discussion!

Bumu Butai also found it difficult to suppress this surging discussion for a while.

At this time, a palace guard outside the hall shouted: "Emergency military report! ”

Everyone held their breath and looked nervously at Bumu Butai and the Emperor.

Bumu Butai was also nervous, could there be any bad news?

What she feared even more was that Dorgon was dead.

"Quick." Fu Lin said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Tianjin Wei Emergency Military Report."

As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously exhaled softly.

In fact, even the "royalists" are worried that Dolgon will die suddenly at this moment, if this is really dead, under the leaderless group of dragons, I am afraid that more than a dozen prefectures in Jiangbei will be eroded, even if the Qing court immediately organizes troops and horses, it will be too late to go south.

Bumu Butai was really relieved, as long as Dolgon was okay, she asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, what is the urgent military situation?" ”
