As soon as Li Shutai opened his mouth, everyone remembered that Li Shutai was also a Han man, and his father was the famous Fushun concubine Li Yongfang, but because Li Shutai had been completely Manchurianized, and it could even be said that there was no difference between him and the Manchurians, everyone forgot that he still had Han blood flowing in his body.

Therefore, whether it was Duoduo or others, they felt a little embarrassed about this topic, but Li Shutai talked about it generously: "King Yu, since it is impossible to retreat with the whole division, then we must try to preserve the vitality of the country as much as possible and let the soldiers of the Eight Banners retreat as much as possible, and in this regard, Bolobel is a lesson from the past!" ”

When it comes to Bolo and the 40,000 army under his command, Duoduo is so distressed that he is about to cry, since the Seven Great Hatreds have not suffered such heavy losses since the Seven Great Hatreds started the army, the more than 40,000 troops have only escaped more than 1,000 people so far, and the most elite Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and Outer Mongolia are almost completely wiped out, and only a few dozen people have been contained so far.

Thinking of the loss of so many elite troops of the Eight Banners, Duoduo felt that he had a way to deal with the accusations of the regent Dorgon, and he could not explain to the families of so many soldiers who died in battle.

Therefore, Li Shutai is very right, Bolobel can be said to be a lesson from the past, his tens of thousands of people can no longer be lost in Huzhou, especially the soldiers of the Eight Banners must be brought back to Nanjing as much as possible, otherwise he and the Qing Kingdom will become a big joke.

Therefore, Duoduo attached great importance to Li Shutai's proposal: "Li Taishuo, you can tell us about any way to preserve the vitality of the country and bring these tens of thousands of soldiers back!"

Li Shutai said very calmly: "King Yu, at this time, are you still thinking about the idea of retreating with the whole army?" When we left Beijing, the regent specially explained how we should deal with these Han generals!"

The regent Dolgon did have such a secret decree that only the Manchurian nobles knew and implemented, and Duoduo had also carried out this secret decree since the Southern Expedition, after all, this was also the consensus among the Manchurian nobles.

In the hearts of the Manchurian aristocracy, the Manchurian Eight Banners are the real own people, so the Manchurian Eight Banners will be given special priority, of course, like this so-called "Manchurian Eight Banners" also includes Manchurian Han and Mongols like Li Shutai, and then the Mongolian Eight Banners and the outer feudal Mongolia, as long as it is not a matter of principle, the Manchurian nobles will take special care of the Mongols.

For the Han people, the regent Dolgon and the Manchurian nobles adopted the strategy of dividing and systeming, the closest is the Han Army Eight Banners, and this southern expedition also proved that the Han Army Eight Banners are relatively reliable, and then the three Shun kings and Xu Shun Gong who maintain an independent system, although Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming joined the Han Army Eight Banners in their personal capacity, but their subordinates have always retained an independent system outside the Eight Banners.

The above Han people are collectively known as the "old people of Liaodong", and they are also the strength that the Manchurian nobles can rely on, and then Wu Sangui, Wu Shengzhao, Tang Tong, these Han generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the first year of Shunzhi, the Manchurian nobles were quite wary of them but had to use them, and the lowest status was the new annex generals who surrendered since the southern expedition.

In particular, Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other generals from warlords, Duoduo has been controlled and used in accordance with Dorgon's methods, and is ready to re-establish a group of collateral generals who do not have much strength as a containment, if it were not for the Yue Ming army to cross the Qianjiang River in a big way, I am afraid that Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu and others are still controlled by Duoduo and cannot leave Nanjing.

After the fall of Hangzhou, Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu, Liu Liangzuo, these powerful warlords became a huge threat in the eyes of Duoduo, and Duoduo felt that what Li Shutai said was extremely true: "Li Shilang, then according to your meaning, how to deal with these Han generals!"

Although Li Shutai had a smile on his lips, he couldn't hide his murderous intent: "I just said that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have no way out, and they are as trustworthy as the Eight Banners of the Han Army, as for the old generals in the north, they should still be able to rely on them if they don't encounter the collapse of the sky, and the real danger is the new generals of the Southern Expedition, they all have thousands of soldiers and horses, and if they change in life, I am afraid it will be the second battle of Hangzhou!"

Li Shutai said this to the bottom of Duoduo's heart, and now Duoduo's biggest concern is that these new annexed Han will suddenly change, and it will be difficult for tens of thousands of horses to be left behind, so he deeply agrees: "How untrustworthy are the new annexed generals of the Southern Expedition!"

Li Shutai said a good word for Liu Liangzuo: "Although Liu Liangzuo is unusable, he has a deep enmity with the Jinhua thief and is generally credible!"

Duoduo nodded, he already knew what the problem was: "Then how to deal with the rest of Gao Jie?" ”

In fact, this time it was not only the rest of Gao Jie who followed Duoduo to the south, Ma Degong was the rest of Huang Degong, and there were also small warlords like Zhang Tianlu brothers, but for Duoduo, the rest of Gao Jie, including Li Benshen, Guo Hu, and Yang Chengzu, was the real big problem, after all, the Jinhua thief camp opposite stood Mrs. Xing, who had a huge influence on the rest of Gao Jie.

And Li Shutai immediately said his thoughts: "There is an old saying among the Han people that the wicked still need the wicked to grind, and if you want to deal with the people left by Gao Jie, you have to use Gao Jie's old generals, and King Yu has not always been very optimistic about Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku!"

The reason why Duoduo is optimistic about Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku and others is not because of how strong their ability is, but because they are only second-rate figures in Gao Jie's old department, and they are not at the same level as Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Yang Chengzu and others, so they are ready to support Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, the imperial lineage, to contain these stronger warlords.

And now Li Shutai's suggestion is still to change the soup and not change the medicine and grasp the prescription according to the rules, but the stakes are very high, Duoduo still hesitated for a while: "It's just that in this way, the rest of Gao Jie's vitality will inevitably be greatly damaged, and he will not be able to contain the Jinhua thief!"

Li Shutai said unusually frankly: "The rest of Gao Jie's troops were originally unable to contain the Jinhua thieves, and today they are doing a big harm to the Qing Dynasty!" King Yu, please invite all the generals of the Han army over!"

Duoduo was scheming, and he quickly made a supplementary suggestion to Li Shutai: "Pass my order and let the generals of the Han army come over to discuss the matter, but you still have to leave a veteran general!"

Liu Yongxi's army did not immediately shift from the defensive situation to a full-scale attack, but they nailed Duoduo's army as soon as possible according to Liu Yongxi's instructions, and Zhang Boyi in Huzhou City was also trying his best to contain Duoduo's army, and even Jiaxing's Chen Yuan and Zhang Huangyan's army were trying their best to delay the retreat of Duoduo's army, and strive to annihilate the tens of thousands of troops of Duoduo's army.

But the biggest problem now is that only one or two forward horse teams have arrived at the Huzhou battlefield with 40,000 troops under the princess of the prison country, and there are many elite horses in the Duoduo department, and the retreat is quite orderly, and it is quite difficult to annihilate them in the Hangjiahu Plain, and the two sides are now only fighting outposts on the periphery.

Among the generals of the Ming army, Li Huaiqing was an outlaw in the true sense, and he said without hesitation: "King Yue, Zhang Niangniang, I think we might as well come and cut off Jianyu directly, the army of the princess of Jianguo can arrive at any time, and Jianyu will definitely flee if he is cut off!"

Empress Zhang shook her head and said: "I have entrusted the use of troops to King Yue, King Yue, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, you have to say a few words, right?" ”

Empress Zhang can fully support herself on this occasion, Liu Yongxi is naturally very happy: "Niangniang, you are right, Jianyu is really not so dealing, although we have the upper hand, but as long as we are a little careless, we will lose the victory, we must be cautious and cautious!"

Empress Zhang has heard the news that the official army has been frustrated by Jianyu over the years, and the official army of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be defeated again and again, and being able to behead Jianyu for more than ten levels is an immortal achievement and even has to be compiled into the history of the country, so she really thinks that what Liu Yongxi said is right: "What the king of Yue said is very true, the prisoners are not easy to deal with, this time our army can win a big victory, although it is the soldiers who use their lives and the king of Yue uses soldiers like gods, but it is also the right time and place and the people are in the hands of our army!"

Even a civil official like Yu Huang felt that Zhang Niangniang did have the demeanor of a virtuous and virtuous queen, and in a few words, he pointed out the key factors for the victory of the Yue Ming army.

This time, the Ming army won a complete victory, of course, there were such and such factors, but a very important reason was that the Qing army's cavalry shooting in the river network area south of the Yangtze River could not be used at all, and the ten leaders could only play six or seven percent at most, and the Ming army repeatedly used the river to successfully maneuver to occupy the opportunity, but the pursuit battle was completely different, in case the Duoduo dog jumped over the wall and came back and forth, the Ming army might suffer a heavy setback.

Now the Ming army on the battlefield of Hangjiahu is divided into four battle groups, if you are not careful in the pursuit battle, you may suffer a heavy setback or even lead to a complete reversal of the overall situation, so everyone turned their eyes to Mrs. Xing, and Yu Huang, the champion of the princess, said straight to the point: "Mrs. Xing, how are you in contact with the north?" As long as there are two or three thousand people willing to revolt in front of the battle at this time, we can leave all these tens of thousands of prisoners behind!"

Although the remnants of Gao Jie's revolt may only have two or three thousand or even one or two thousand people, but at the moment when the morale of the Qing army is low, any uprising in front of the Qing army will change the situation of the war, so Mrs. Xing also said very generously: "I am already in contact, but the problem now is that there are a lot of people, and the tone is not small, and they all think that they are the second Zuo Liangyu, and as soon as they open their mouths, they want the Marquis Earl to have dozens of states and counties!"

Now these Gao Jie's remnants still think highly of themselves, and Yu Huang has already understood: "It's beautiful, we have made so many great contributions to the country, and now we have the opportunity to talk about the reward with King Yue, and these generals want to cross us, and there is no door!"

The civil and military officials present all agreed with Yu Huang's opinion, after all, they had worked hard to get to this point, how could they let a few generals who had no integrity and little strength keep pace with them or even surpass them.

It's just that when they were talking about this matter, the scout in front came with news: "The Qing army in the north seems to be fighting each other, and now they are still killing each other?" ”
