This is not only Hong Chengchou's most concerned issue, but also Duoduo's main concern, he always feels that if there are too few reinforcements, then there is no way to deal with Liu Yongxi and Jinhua thieves, after all, the Qing army has changed from offensive to defensive in the Jiangnan battlefield.

And as soon as it came to this question, Hauge looked down on this Uncle Duoduo in his heart, although the riot in Jiangnan was caused by the shaving order, but the impromptu response of King Yu was too unspeakable, not only lost the whole of Zhejiang, but also the 40,000 people under the Bolobel Department suffered a devastating blow, and this command ability was as clumsy as it was.

However, this is also Duoduo's housekeeping skills, the Eight Banners have always been a ten to break a hundred, a hundred people are better than a thousand Ming troops, a thousand people can be against ten thousand troops, if there are 10,000 Qing soldiers can copy the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom to come and go freely, but when Duoduo met the eight hundred Ming army with five hundred elite soldiers, he actually looked at the wind and collapsed all the way, saying how embarrassing it was, but Dolgon only believed that his half-brother, and actually handed over the entire southeast to the king of Yu to be responsible.

As a result, this half-brother of Dolgon led two or three hundred thousand soldiers in Jiangnan to fight an unprecedented defeat in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he felt particularly distressed when he thought that the foundation that Emperor Ama had worked so hard to save was so defeated in the hands of Duoduo, but in order to appease the panicked Duoduo and Hong Chengchou, he had to say confidently: "I brought 28,000 elite soldiers to the south this time, and I promised to kill the Jinhua thieves without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

In fact, Hauge only brought 22,000 people to the south this time, and the so-called 28,000 people were the result of counting all the cats and dogs in the army, but Hauge felt that there were nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses that Duoduo could always settle down, but although Hong Chengchou barely settled down, Duoduo was a little disappointed: "Only 28,000 people? How many Eight Banners are among them!"

Hauge looked down on Duoduo's unsuccessful little uncle more and more, but he didn't show his dissatisfaction on his face: "King Yu, the country's elite is already here, not to mention that there are British king's soldiers going east upstream!"

Hauge's sentence "The country's elite is already here, although it is an exaggeration", is not far from the actual situation.

The reason why Dolgon and the Manchurian nobles decided to conquer Jiangnan was because the north obtained a large amount of money and grain from Jiangnan in order to maintain the normal transportation of the state apparatus, but no one expected that the battle into Zhejiang after the easy elimination of the Hongguang Dynasty was actually a real nightmare.

However, in order to conquer the Manchurian nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, too much blood had been invested, although many people suggested that the bleeding should be stopped in time and retreat to Jianghuai according to the practice of the past dynasties, but Dolgon and most of the Manchurian nobles still decided to bet all the money, so Haoge was able to lead his 28,000 troops to the south.

The 28,000 men were the soldiers and horses that Dolgon had to scavenge by all means, and although there were still some mobile troops in the north and outside the passes, the maximum number of soldiers and horses that could be drawn out was only a few thousand.

Haoge felt in advance that as soon as his reinforcements arrived, Duoduo and Hong Chengchou would be able to immediately switch to a full-scale counterattack, but when he saw their reaction, Haoge knew that the situation was worse than he imagined, so he couldn't help but blurt out a very sensitive question: "King Yu, how many soldiers and horses have been lost in Zhejiang this time?" ”

Although Duoduo and Hong Chengchou had reported the specific situation of this entry into Zhejiang to the Beijing master more than a dozen times, they were always vague about the specific losses, and even Manchurian nobles like Haoge did not know the specific number.

And the number of Duoduo and Hong Chengchou is too sensitive, so Duoduo can only glance at Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou immediately understands what he means: "Prince Su, this time Bolobel led 40,000 troops into Zhejiang, but only 2,000 remnants of his department successfully broke through to Huzhou!"

The numbers Hong Chengchou said are not much different from the reality, but he still hid some key details, that is, there are actually only more than 1,000 remnants of Boluo who broke through to Huzhou, and they are all Han Army Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, and only a few dozen people from the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners broke through.

Hauge obviously didn't hear the overtones, and he thought that the more than 2,000 remnants of the army that broke through were all full of Mongolian and eight banners, but even so, he realized for the first time the true horror of the Yue Ming army: "Although this must have something to do with the shaving order, Bolo is also a veteran, how could he be defeated so badly, what the hell is going on!"

Although the biggest person responsible for the Battle of Hangzhou was Bolo, he couldn't get rid of Duoduo, so Duoduo had to organize the language: "The main thing is to underestimate the Jinhua thief, the Jinhua thief is different from King Fu, not only the puppet Yue Duke Liu Yongxi led his troops to conquer, but even the puppet queen and the pseudo-princess have repeatedly driven the expedition, this is what I saw with my own eyes!"

Duoduo continued: "Borobelle went out of the city to fight hard with the Jinhua thieves for days, obviously he had the upper hand and was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue, no one expected that the puppet queen would lead an army of 20,000 to cross the river in person, and Bolobel was in a hurry and unprepared, and the whole army suffered a big setback, resulting in a situation that was out of control!"

Hong Chengchou endorsed Duoduo next to him: "The situation is indeed as Prince Yu said, the puppet Yue Guogong and the pseudo queen both like to drive the royal car to the front line in person, especially the puppet Yue Guogong is the most hateful!"

Haoge knew that Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing were both symbolic mascots, and even if they were to drive in person, they could only improve the morale of officers and soldiers, but Liu Yongxi, the puppet Duke of Yue, was different, he was the soul of the Jinhua thief, and every time he came to the front line to command the Qing army, he would encounter big trouble.

Just thinking of this, Haoge laughed out loud: "I know how to deal with the Jinhua thief, and I promise to make the Jinhua thief go to ashes!"

Haoge's words came out Duoduo and Hong Chengchou were taken aback, it was really a terrible defeat in the battle of Zhejiang, so that they didn't know what method to use to deal with the Yue Ming army, even if there were Haoge and Azig They were still not confident, but Haoge just arrived in Jiangnan and thought of how to deal with the Jinhua thieves, which didn't make Duoduo and Hong Chengchou seem very incompetent.

But now it is the top priority to deal with the Jinhua thief, so Duoduo can only humbly ask his nephew for advice: "I don't know what the king of Su has to do?" ”

Haoge has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he found a feasible coping strategy at the first time: "It's very simple, just kill the puppet Yue Guogong Liu Yongxi at all costs!"

He asked Duoduo and Hong Chengchou what to do: "Although the Jinhua thieves possess the whole province of Zhejiang and have tens of thousands of troops, the only terrible person is the puppet Yue Guo Gong Liu Yongxi, and the rest Zhang Guowei, Zhu Dadian, Xing Shengping and others are all defeated generals under the Qing Dynasty, as long as they kill the puppet Yue Guo Duke Liu Yongxi and how he wants to clean up the Jinhua thieves!"

Hong Chengchou immediately clapped his hands and praised: "King Su Yingming, as long as you kill Liu Yongxi, this little thief, even if there are 300,000 people in Jinhua, they are just a group of cats and dogs!"

Duoduo also figured it out: "King Su's method is really good, I am optimistic that we will have to spend more thought and energy in this matter, the biggest reason for the defeat of this big setback in Zhejiang is that we don't know anything about the Jinhua thief!"

For the Yue Ming army, Liu Yongxi is the soul of the real sense, as long as Liu Yongxi is killed, it is not a problem for the small court of Yue Ming even if it does not collapse on its own, and Haoge said very confidently: "This is originally my great skill of the Qing Dynasty, as long as we can make up our minds, we can definitely kill Liu Yongxi!"

This is indeed the Qing army's specialty, in history the Ming army and the exile army several epic defeats are the Chinese army and the supreme commander in the Qing army raid in the whole army, after the commander was beheaded, the whole army can only passively respond to the battle, the most typical example of the battle is the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong.

After thinking of how to deal with the small court of Yue Ming, Hong Chengchou immediately offered a strategy to Duoduo and Haoge: "King Yu, King Su, since we want to clean up the puppet Yue Guogong, we can completely lead the snake out of the hole." ”

He felt that he could make a thousand miraculous contributions to the Qing Dynasty this time.

Huizhou.

Although the Jinsheng Righteous Army has been controlling Huizhou City since the uprising, but under the pressure of the Qing Army, the rebels of Huizhou Mansion and Xiuning Mansion are facing crises again and again.

If it weren't for the rise of Yue Ming on the river and attracting the main force of the Qing army, Huizhou City was in danger of falling, but after the Battle of Huzhou, the situation of the Huining Righteous Army was greatly improved, and several Qing troops from the surrender of generals and soldiers are now taking a wait-and-see posture, and more importantly, the small imperial court of the Prison State accepted the Fengbiao of the Southern Anhui Righteous Army and decided to send Tianmen Bo Xing Shengping to lead tens of thousands of troops to aid Nanzhi.

Although he had reservations about the small court of Yue Ming, Jin Sheng still decided to cooperate with Xing Shengping fully, but before Xing Shengping's army arrived, he received an unexpected reinforcement: "Is it really Huang Zhonglin who came?" ”

Huang Zhonglin is Huang Shu, the imperial historian of Hubei, although he was raised in Zhejiang and won the Jinshi as a person in Zhejiang, but everyone knows that he is an out-and-out Huizhou, but it is too difficult to get out of the exam in Huizhou, so he will impersonate Hangzhou.

Although Huang Shu has always regarded himself as a native of Zhejiang, he is a standard Huizhou native when dealing with Huizhou villagers, and he has also returned to his hometown in Huizhou to visit relatives, so everyone has always regarded Huang Shu as their own.

And now this Hubei Governor Huang Shu has entered Huizhou Mansion uninvited, and he is not single-handed, but with nearly a thousand elite soldiers and strong generals from Jiujiang, this is the strong reinforcement that Jin Sheng and the Huining Righteous Army need most: "It's Huang Shu who came, I have dealt with him a few times in the past, it's really Huang Shu That's right, he brought such soldiers and horses, our Huizhou affairs will be easy to handle!"

Jin Sheng still had doubts: "How did he get here?" ”

The disciple of Jin Sheng, who was in charge of going to confirm, replied: "He fled back from Huguang, and when he passed through Jiujiang, he happened to meet Jianlu who ordered him to shave his hair, so he persuaded Zuo Liangyu's old department to do it anyway, but he couldn't gain a foothold in Jiujiang and withdrew to his hometown in Huizhou, I confirmed, not only Huang Zhonglin did not shave his hair, but also nearly a thousand officers and soldiers under him did not shave their hair!"
