Hearing Zhang Tianlu say this, Haoge became full of confidence: "I have studied Liu Yongxi, the thief, this thief's favorite thing is beauty in addition to his deeds, especially remembering other people's wives, in this case, let's just do what he likes, I really can't give a few small blessings to the past, so that Mingguo can make all the money in this matter!" ”

Zhang Tianlu felt that Haoge was simply messing around, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Haoge might be able to do it, after all, no one knew what the habits of this Chengtian Emperor were: "In addition to women, we can also consider gold, silver and jade silk, King Su is right, as long as it is a person, there will definitely be shortcomings, we just do what it likes!" ”

Although this was just a private conversation between Zhang Tianlu and Haoge, the news came out quickly, and everyone felt that these princes and Baylors of the Great Qing Kingdom were standard barbarians, and they were actually ready to sacrifice their own Fujin to achieve their achievements, although Haoge said "Little Fujin", but everyone deliberately omitted "Little Fujin" to "Fujin".

Whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Dynasty, this matter has always been a rumor, but Liu Yongxi was very happy when he heard the news: "It seems that this time Jianyu will definitely be defeated, so I don't have to work a few mothers to follow me to conquer!" ”

Empress Zhang immediately asked, "How can Your Majesty see that Jianyu is bound to lose?" ”

And Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "Haoge is also a famous general among the famous generals in the Qing Kingdom, but now we are beating me so much that we actually want to use women to please me, and the Qing Kingdom uses Haoge to guard Shandong, which can only show that there is no one available for Jianyu!" ”

Although many princes and Baylors of the Great Qing Kingdom regard Duoduo, Haoge and Daishan as the culprits of a series of failures, they also have to admit that in terms of ability, Duoduo, Haoge and Daishan are all tiger generals in the Great Qing Kingdom, if Haoge, Duoduo, and Daishan can't withstand the offensive of the Ming army, then no one in the Great Qing Kingdom can cope with the offensive of the Ming Kingdom.

And now Haoge, who is guarding Shandong, is not going all out to reorganize his army for war, but is ready to use the method of offering beauties and even his wife to fool Liu Yongxi, which can only show that the southern border defense line of the Great Qing Kingdom is no different from paper paste, and Empress Zhang laughed when she heard this: "I know that Xiaoxi is not such a boring person!" ”

Liu Yongxi also laughed: "Even if I fall in love with Haoge's Fujin, I have to snatch it back with my own hands, how can I fall for Haoge's beauty trick!" But this time I am more motivated to go on the Northern Expedition! ”

Although he has no interest in Haoge's Fujin, the current Beijing city has a beauty that makes Liu Yongxi's heart move.

And for the front-line commander of the Yue Ming Army, this widely spread news also made them full of confidence: "It seems that Jianyu's qi is indeed exhausted, what a figure Prince Su is, now he actually thinks of such a shameless thing as sacrificing his wife and daughter to seek glory, this Northern Expedition is a merit rewarded to us by God, let's not miss it!" ”

It was none other than Xing Shengping, the governor of Anhui Province, who was talking now, and Wang Puxiang, who was beside him, immediately replied: "I personally ran to the north once, and now almost all the people on the front line are green battalion soldiers, and even the Eight Banners Han Army is useless, it is indeed a godsend!" ”

Although Wang Puxiang felt that he should not be the opponent of the Eight Banners Han Army when he won the field battle, the problem was that since the feudal town, these princes and Baylor of the Qing State have considered the territory under their jurisdiction very thoroughly, and almost all of them have evenly distributed the troops, but the territory has been taken away by others.

The result is that this is an almost absurd situation, almost all the troops deployed on the front line are green battalion soldiers and new annex troops, although there are some battalion leaders with good combat effectiveness, but compared with the Yue Ming army, it is almost like an egg hitting a stone, so Xing Shengping said: "In this case, let's go all out into Henan, and Shandong will be handed over to Your Majesty to solve!" ”

Shandong only has the remnants of the defeated army under the command of Haoge, while Henan has Azig's field corps, and it is naturally more difficult to deal with Azig when compared with each other, but Wang Puxiang likes such a challenge: "As long as we kill the southernmost green battalion and the new annex army, Azig will be greatly injured!" ”

Although the core force of Azig is the Eight Banners Army and the Outer Mongols, the number of these elite troops is limited, and once the Green Battalion and the new annex army collapse on all fronts, Azig will fall into a full-scale siege by the Ming army.

And Xing Shengping also felt that such a start was close to perfect: "No matter how many battalions Azig has deployed in the south, but these green battalions and the new attached army, we can eat as many as we want!" ”

Wang Puxiang was also excited: "Eat it all!" Not only to eat the Qing army, but also to eat Caozhou! ”

The "Caozhou" he said is naturally Zuo Mengeng, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, these "Caozhou thieves", in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty they are "Caozhou thieves", and in the eyes of the Yue Ming army, they are also "Caozhou thieves" who have temporary use value, as long as the Qing army is swept away, it will be necessary to solve this "Caozhou thief" who has repeatedly rebelled and surrendered, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Zuo Mengeng, whether they can save a small life, it depends on whether they know whether they know whether they are interested.

And Xing Shengping immediately laughed: "The Caozhou thieves will have to be solved sooner or later, but now we can't be in a hurry, now we not only have to take the territory south of the Yellow River, but also the north of the Yellow River!" ”

Xing Shengping, as the governor of Anhui, was ready to invest in the 63rd Mabu Battalion to participate in the Northern Expedition, and was ready to mobilize 20 to 30 battalions later, but in the Northern Expedition, the 60 battalions invested by Anhui could only be regarded as partial divisions, whether it was Huguang or Xuzhou, the Yue Ming army was ready to invest more than 200 battalions, and even the Hanzhong direction was ready to invest nearly 50 battalions.

The army of more than 500 battalions launched an offensive almost at the same time, and their opponents were not the elite Eight Banners elite, but the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army with weak combat effectiveness.

The first stage of the Northern Expedition was almost a copy of the scene of Duoduo's southern expedition, and the Qing army was already the most elite soldiers and horses in the Qing army, and most of the Qing troops did not hesitate to change their banners after finding that the Vietnamese Ming army in front of them had an advantage in terms of strength and combat power, and even many green battalion soldiers acted as the vanguard of the Yue Ming army, so within a few days the Ming army was overwhelming, and the Qing army that annihilated, defeated, and surrendered had exceeded 10,000 people.

When the news of the sudden offensive of the Yue Ming army reached Jinan, Haoge thought it was the soldiers and horses of Wang Zhiren, the governor of Huai'an: "Wang Zhiren is not afraid, although the Ming State sent him to deal with the Caozhou thieves, but as long as I lead the army south, I can naturally solve Wang Zhiren's department easily!" ”

Although Wang Zhiren was attached to the Jinhua thieves very early, his troops and horses were only at the level of the elite Ming army, so he was beaten by Zhang Tianlu, Dong Yuan, and Zuo Mengeng, and he also cited this history as a hateful thing, and always wanted to send troops to cooperate with the Caozhou thieves, and the Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi also agreed that Wang Zhiren's troops could launch a tentative offensive and take several states and counties from the Qing State.

It's just that since the two sides have launched very sincere negotiations, Wang Zhiren's advance is naturally on hold, so Haoge really thinks that Wang Zhiren is coming.

He had no confidence in how to fight the Yue Ming army, but there were a hundred ways for an elite Ming army like Wang Zhiren, and the reason why Lu Nan only released the green battalion soldiers and the new annex army to defend was naturally to wait for Wang Zhiren to be exhausted and then use the elite of the Eight Banners to suddenly go south to defeat Wang Zhiren in one fell swoop.

It's just that the messenger who came to report the news said very clearly: "This time the northern invaders of Shandong are definitely not Wang Zhiren's troops, Zhang Boyi, Zhang Huangyan, Wang Zhiren, and Xing Shengping's armies have all been killed, and the total strength should be no more than more than 100 battalions!" ”

However, the messenger who came to report thought that he had made the situation very serious, but he did not expect that the troops invested by the Vietnamese Ming army were far more than 100 battalions, but reached an unprecedented 200 battalions, and 200 battalions of horse infantry were invested on both the eastern and western fronts.

But the news of more than 100 battalions has frightened Hauge: "How can there be so many soldiers and horses? Isn't Yizhou guarded by General Zhang Tianlu? ”

Although Zhang Tianlu tried his best to rebuild his troops and recruited a lot of rogue soldiers, the resources in his hands were limited after all, so up to now, Zhang Tianlu had more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, but this was already a soldier and horse that Haoge had the most high hopes for in the south.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the rest of the troops can be counted on, they are fighting against the thieves near Caozhou, and when they think of the elite of more than 100 battalions of the Yue Ming Army coming over like a tide, now Haoge has no care about rescuing Zhang Tianlu, and only hopes to get back the dozens of Niu Lu's armored soldiers near Caozhou.

And the messenger's report also solved Haoge's worries: "Admiral Zhang Tianlu is ready to withdraw to Jinan, but he was killed by the rebel generals as soon as he left Yizhou, and now there are dozens of Niu Lu armor soldiers near Caozhou!" ”

This is also a problem that Haoge is worried about, in order to suppress the thieves of Caozhou, the Qing Kingdom has invested heavy troops, and now there are 30 Niulu's armor soldiers and more than 60 battalions of green battalions near Caozhou.

Although these Niu Lu and the battalion head are seriously flooded, the actual soldiers of each Niu Lu are often no more than fifty people, and even one Niu Lu has less than 30 soldiers, even if the clothing, slaves, and miscellaneous servants are counted, there are less than 100 people, and the so-called sixty battalions of green battalions add up to more than 10,000 people, but this is all the troops that Haoge can strive for, and there are many Niu Lu and the battalion head are under Haoge's name.

But now the sudden main offensive of the Ming army made Haoge is soul scattered, and he said without hesitation: "Order the Wang Division near Caozhou to retreat quickly, retreat at all costs, as long as you can withdraw, no matter how many soldiers and horses are lost, withdraw, withdraw quickly, we will wait for them on the north bank of the Yellow River!" ”

Although Hauge still had tens of thousands of troops to mobilize, he had already decided to abandon Jinan and withdraw to the north of the Yellow River first.
