Guanwai, Shenyang, the former Qing Imperial Palace.

Dressed in a Qing Dynasty dragon robe, wearing a Qing Emperor's warm hat, and wearing a string of pearls around his neck, Doni is now sitting on a dragon chair, with a smile on his face and looking full of confidence.

Doni is now Aisin Jueluo again. Dhoni lived in the former Qing Imperial Palace in Shenyang. However, he is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty now, but the Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty!

It turned out that Doni had also heard the story of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the emperor", so he also had to slow down the title of emperor, and he was not the emperor, but supported the Shunzhi restoration who did not know which big temple in Shanxi to hide in and recite the scriptures, and he became a regent. So now the era name outside the gate is Shunzhi again, and it is now the fifteenth year of Shunzhi - this is the third time that Shunzhi has become the emperor, three ups and three downs, but it is really unprecedented.

Of course, Doni will not really take Shunzhi from Shanxi to Shenyang to sit in the Dragon Court, even if it is a puppet, it will be troublesome. And Shunzhi didn't dare to come......

So now sitting on the emperor's throne is the self-proclaimed regent Doni!

"Servants and others respectfully invite the regent Jin An!"

In the main hall, a group of good Qing Dynasty minions wearing flower feathers all kowtowed to Doni. But as soon as these people's hats are taken off, it makes people laugh and cry. It is obviously the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with a pearl around his neck, and the top worn on his head, but he has not shaved any hair...... Of course, there are braids, but they are not money rat tails, nor moon heads, but a "hair" stripped together and braided, just like a big girl's house.

But Doni didn't see it, because he himself had this hairstyle - it was too much trouble to shave his hair, and the weather outside the gate was cold, and it was easy to get a stroke without hair to protect his head. For the sake of good health, Doni didn't shave her hair, and now she is also a "big girl's braid", which can be changed to a bun at any time if necessary.

"Flat!" Doni smiled and raised his hand, motioning for a group of Qing loyalists to stand up and speak.

The people below all got up and stood in two shifts, and then they all had a confident smile on their faces - although everyone had no bottom in their hearts, no one could show their cowardice at this time, otherwise the regent would be angry......

Doni's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally nodded with satisfaction, smiling and twisting Chaozhu, a gloomy face that almost shone light. Seeing that the people below were also like himself, all of them were full of confidence, so he smiled and said: "I just received the military report from the defenders of Shanhaiguan, Heishan Base, Yizhou City, and Jinzhou City, and a large number of Ming troops appeared in front of them...... It seems that the Ming army is planning to divide its troops into four routes! ”

"The enemy is divided into four ways, isn't this the same situation that Emperor Taizu encountered when he fought the Battle of Salhu?"

"God bless me!"

"This is so easy to deal with, no matter how many ways he comes, I'll just go all the way!"

A group of loyal ministers of the Great Qing Dynasty immediately became enthusiastic and talked loudly.

Doni coughed to silence the group, then turned to Nikan.

Nikan analyzed: "Although the Ming army has 30 divisions and a few strong vassals, it also has many enemies, and it can pull to the top of Liaodong and Liaoxi is 200,000, divided into four roads, each of which is only 50,000...... Maybe there will be arrangements for landing somewhere along the way, that is five roads, on average, each way is 40,000. We now have a total of 110,000 foot riders, deducting the 30,000 people in various places, and there are still 80,000 foot riders that can be used. ”

"Eighty thousand to forty thousand, it's still a little certain!" Dhoni laughed.

"Regent," Yue Le, the commander of the capital army who led all the armies with Nikan, shook his head and said, "We don't know the specific number of soldiers and horses of the Ming army, and people may not be able to average the troops!" ”

He only said half of what he said, and he didn't dare to say the other half, so as not to undermine everyone's confidence. And the half of what he didn't say was, "Even if 80,000 fights 40,000, we can't be sure of winning."

The current 40,000 Ming army is stronger than the 100,000 Ming army in the Battle of Salhu!

And it's so strong!

And if today's 80,000 Qing troops are put out to fight in a dignified formation, of course, they can also defeat the Houjin Heavenly Army during the Battle of Salhu with the help of artillery and muskets.

But there's not just one mode of fighting!

If you want to fight ambushes, night attacks, melee battles in the woods, cavalry raids, squad fights, etc., today's Qing army is not as good as the Houjin soldiers of the year.

Because the Houjin soldiers back then were composed of a group of fishermen and hunters in the mountains and forests outside the Guan, and now the main body of the Qing army is just a group of peasants who have broken into the eastern part of the Guandong - if it weren't for the backbone of the Old Eight Banners and the Zhenglu Banner who repeatedly declared that the Ming Dynasty emperor would confiscate the land they cultivated and cultivated, they would not necessarily be willing to go into battle for Doni to kill the enemy......

Doni nodded and said, "What Yue Le said makes sense, the Ming army will not distribute the troops equally...... But this is also our chance, as long as we find a few of their relatively small forces and defeat them individually, we can also win. ”

Yue Le shook his head, "It's not easy to find...... I'm afraid I can only guess! ”

"King Anjun, in fact, we can still guess some."

Yue Le looked back and saw that it was Admiral Shang Lovely of the Pacific Navy Master who spoke.

"Admiral Shang, tell me about it." Yue Le said.

Shang Cute smiled: "I don't know anything else, but one thing is certain, if the Ming army wants to land...... Then this road is definitely not the main force. ”

"Why?" Yue Le asked.

"Because their sailors simply do not have the ability to send an army of tens of thousands of people to the beachhead in eastern and western Liaoning." Shang Kawai said, "Tens of thousands of troops can't be loaded without hundreds of large sea boats, where do they have so many ships now?" ”

Yue Le nodded: "That's right, but how do we know where they will land?" ”

"Hehe, then guess it......" Shang Kawai said, "First of all, the general area where the Ming army landed must be on the coast of eastern and western Liaodong in Bohai Bay.

Secondly, the place of landing must be very close to the estuary and harbor.

Third, the landing of the Ming army will definitely pursue the effect of a surprise attack...... If I'm not mistaken, they must have wanted to use the landing battle to seize Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, or Montenegro. ”

"It must be the Black Mountain Long Base!" Nikan said, "The Ming Dynasty operated in Lushun Province for many years, and stationed heavy troops...... Once the Montenegrin fortress is taken by it, the heavy troops stationed in Lushun can be driven into it for a long time! ”

Yue Le nodded and said, "The enemy is advancing from Lushun, and it is indeed the greatest threat to our army. From Lushun to the north, 300 miles can reach the plain of the Liao River, and 700 miles can reach Shenyang. Now the wheat on the plain of the Liao River has matured, and it is very easy for the Ming army to obtain grain and grass. Moreover, there are many ports available on the inner side of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Ming army brigade does not have to worry about the transshipment of grain and grass at all. ”

Dhoni slapped his face, "Good...... Isn't there already a magic way to break the enemy? Let's put the army on the edge of the Liao River, and at the same time spread a wide range of sentinels to the coast east of Jinzhou, once the enemy lands on a large scale, we will take him by surprise! ”

Yue Le frowned and asked again, "But how can the four-way soldiers of the Ming Army deal with it?" Shanhaiguan and Montenegro can still hold on, how to deal with the two roads from the Daling River and the Xiaoling River? ”

"You can lure the enemy deeper!"

Another voice rang out, and Doni looked over and realized that it was his henchman Tuhai.

Tu Haidao: "Regent, we can lead one of these two roads to the vicinity of the Liao River, and then concentrate 80,000 troops to attack it!" After defeating this way, turn back and deal with the Ming army that landed. As long as you can repel them in both ways...... We will be able to grasp the initiative, and we will be able to advance and retreat freely in the future. ”

"Good!" Doni smiled, "Tuhai, you are indeed the king's brainstorm...... This errand to lure the enemy into depth, this king has also entrusted you to do, can you do it? ”

Tu Hai hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Please rest assured, the Ming army is cunning, and the minions can also lure them in!" ”
