Duoduo's decision can be said to be a shock to the audience, after all, Yangzhou fought so hard and lost so much, everyone felt that taking Yangzhou was to slaughter for several days to make the 100,000 troops under the city satisfied, no one expected that Prince Yu would not slaughter the city if he didn't slaughter the city, so that everyone was disappointed.

As the siege commander Bolo has not yet spoken, Xu Dingguo's son Xu Er'an can't wait to say: "Please also ask King Yu to take back his fate, the soldiers are very injured under the city of Yangzhou, and they are waiting for a few days, King Yu is afraid that it will hurt the morale of the soldiers by doing this!"

Yang Chengzu, the first of the rest of Gao Jie's troops to surrender to the Qing army, also stood up to support Xu Er'an: "King Yu, what General Xu said is very true, Yangzhou is stubborn to such a point that it is not easy to clean up, I am afraid that after entering Jiangnan, many people will follow suit, I ask King Yu to take back his life!"

Although the Eight Banners Army likes to slaughter cities, these newly attached Green Battalion and Han Army generals are more active than the Eight Banners generals, after all, they are close to lawlessness in the Hongguang Dynasty, and when they come to the Qing Dynasty, they naturally want to be even more lawless, and they surrender to the Qing Dynasty Aren't they so happy?

However, Bolo was more cautious: "King Yu is still worried that Liu Yongxi will have any new tricks?" ”

Don't look at Duoduo only knew the name Liu Yongxi for the first time two months ago, but in terms of understanding Liu Yongxi, he is far better than these Han army generals: "Liu Yongxi is not in trouble, but his father Liu Kongzhao is a sincere uncle of Caojiang, and he has thousands of sailors under his command, and Empress Zhang of the puppet dynasty supports Liu Yongxi behind the scenes, we must be extra cautious if we want to quickly pacify Jiangnan and transport grain north!"

Dolgon sent Duoduo to lead the troops to the south this time, although it was because the Hongguang small court was vulnerable, but also because after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the north has been dependent on the south for money and grain transportation, the north not only needs the silver needed in the south, but also needs the grain cloth and some special products in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the cessation of grain and silver in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army was in a situation of extreme shortage of grain as soon as it entered the customs, and even had to divide the army into various places to reduce the pressure on grain, and even took the initiative to send trade ships to purchase grain from all directions.

But all these means can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, so Dolgon specially sent Duoduo, who was from the same mother as him, to lead the army to the south, hoping that Duoduo would conquer Jiangnan as soon as possible and send grain and silver to Beijing.

If the Ming Dynasty's transportation system could not be rebuilt in a short period of time, the Manchu war machine would be in extreme danger of losing fuel and supplies, so Duoduo was prepared to wield a butcher's knife against the resolutely resisting Yangzhou.

However, due to the existence of Liu Yongxi and Liu Kongzhao's father and son, now Duoduo has changed his mind, but his goal has always been only one: that is, to completely conquer Jiangnan at a faster speed and rebuild the Cao Yun system of the previous dynasty.

As the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Bolo naturally knew the intentions of Duoduo this time in the south, and he also knew that if the news of Yangzhou's massacre spread, there might be many accidents in the process of conquering Jiangnan: "It's still King Yu who is thoughtful, since we have taken Yangzhou, we should set an example, so let's ...... Let Yangzhou City try to get as much gold, silver, jade silk and beauties as possible, so that the soldiers can be happy for a few days!"

The Manchu and Han generals present all felt that Bolo's arrangement was good, and Xu Er'an asked with great concern: "Will you follow this charter when you attack Zhucheng in the future?" ”

Duoduo said very clearly: "This is not a question you can question, I think you are the son of Xu Dingguo, spare your death, and you will not be lightly killed next time!" How to deal with the king in the cities of the south is up to the final say, the king gives them a way to live, they can survive, this king does not collect the sword, how can there be a life inside and outside the city!"

He just put away the butcher knife temporarily because Liu Yongxi, who suddenly jumped out, but the next time he wields the butcher knife, it will definitely bring more killing.

Xu Er'an and many of the new generals of the annexed army turned pale, and for the first time they realized that their new master was completely different from Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Hongguang.

And Duoduo had already set his sights on the city of Nanjing, and the reason why he gave up slaughtering Yangzhou was because he was afraid that it would provoke the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing.

Before leaving, his brother Dolgon had repeatedly explained that no matter what the price was, he would take the city of Nanjing, or that the end point of this southern expedition would be Nanjing, and although there would be a sweeping battle next, the farthest would be to occupy Zhejiang and Fujian.

However, the city of Nanjing, which Liu Bowen presided over, was the world's leading fortified city, although Duoduo went all the way to the south, and now the number of troops is more than fifty percent when he set off from Guide, but Nanming still has a lot of troops that can fight or barely fight.

Regardless of the more than 10,000 elites under Liu Yongxi's department, there are still Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong in the four towns of Jiangbei where Hongguang leans on the Great Wall, and there are tens of thousands of field troops in Nanming, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of Beijing camps in Nanjing.

Although these are all rabble in the eyes of Duoduo, if these rogue soldiers retreat to the fortified city of Nanjing and have a large number of artillery assistance, they will definitely be able to defend Nanjing City into an iron city, coupled with the massive main force of the Ming army on the periphery of Nanjing, Duoduo is still worried that he will encounter internal and external attacks even if he has an army of 100,000.

He asked several ministers of the Southern Dynasty, and they all said that Nanjing City could only be guarded by the emperor himself and the generals could defend it for at least two or three months, but if he really wanted to stop the army, he was afraid that the daylily would be cold for two or three months.

Therefore, he would rather put down the butcher knife for the time being than take Nanjing City in the shortest possible time.

But it turns out that Dordor just thinks too much.

The news of the loss of Yangzhou City made the Hongguang Small Imperial Court realize for the first time who the real enemy was, and just ten days ago, Ma Shiying was still shouting, "Erji Donglin, still under the pretext of defending the river, want to invade the left and the rebellious?" The northern soldiers are to, and they can still negotiate the money, if the left is reversed, then if they are high-ranking officials, my monarch and ministers are dead! The minister has transferred good troops to cross the south of the Yangtze River. I'd rather die in the north than die in reverse!".

But now Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Huang Degong and Liu Kongzhao and then pursued by Alog, and Duoduo's southern expeditionary Qing army has conquered Yangzhou and approached Zhenjiang, and the Hongguang small court, which was also attacked by two roads, has become a mess of porridge, and Emperor Hongguang sighed and then asked: "Ma Xiangguo, Ruan Xiangguo?" What should the state do when it gets to this point? ”

Ma Shiying didn't know what to do, if there was only one army to attack, Ma Shiying felt that he still had a way, but now Azig and Duoduo two armies attacked at the same time, plus the Shandong Qing army has also moved south, and the invincible Eight Banners of the world of two or three hundred thousand people are attacking at the same time, Ma Shiying really doesn't know what to do!

And Ruan Dacheng on the side made up his mind: "Although the state affairs are dangerous, as long as Your Majesty is fine, the country's luck will never be broken!"
