Chapter 34: Staying Behind

The founding of the Qing Dynasty is fundamentally invincible militarily, and if the Qing army under Boluo encounters big trouble, it means that the Qing Dynasty will also encounter big trouble!

Although Duoduo only said that "Bolobel accidentally caused hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners to lose hundreds of people", Dolgon knew very well that Bolo's 40,000 troops, if only a few hundred Eight Banners soldiers were lost, they would never ask Duoduo for help, and Duoduo would never solemnly send an envoy to report this matter in person, I am afraid that the actual losses of Bolo's troops would be much greater, and may even reach the scale of nearly 10,000 people.

Although Dolgon actually underestimated the losses suffered by Bolo, he immediately realized the seriousness of this matter, and the envoy sent by Duoduo also knelt down very solemnly and said: "King Yu has personally led a large army to help Hangzhou, but in this way, there are no troops available near Nanjing, so I want to ask the regent to send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”

Although the envoy sent by Duoduo said it very implicitly, Dolgon still heard the overtone: "Bolo has lost tens of thousands of people, so that the king of Yu has poured out of the nest, is it so terrible for Liu Yongxi, a mere Duke of Yueguo?" Or Duoduo, he thinks I'm far away in Beijing and easy to fool! ”

There was a hint of murder in Dolgon's words, so that the messenger sent by Duoduo to rescue knelt directly on the ground: "Report to the regent, although Bolobel has lost tens of thousands of soldiers in the north and south of the Qianjiang River, it is all because the Jinhua thief is too insidious, and it is not Bolobele's responsibility!" ”

Dolgon had already estimated the losses of Bolo's troops very seriously, and suspected that the total losses of Bolo's troops were close to 10,000 people, but he really didn't expect that Bolo would lose tens of thousands of soldiers in the two battles of the north and south of the Qianjiang River.

This is an unprecedented serious loss since entering the customs, even in the battle of Huaiqing, which made Dolgon change its strategic decision, the total losses of the Qing soldiers were less than 2,000 people, and the losses of the strategic decisive battles of a piece of stone and Tongguan were only a few thousand, but Liu Yongxi, a prince of Yue who was born out of nowhere, made the Qing Dynasty suffer such a heavy loss, and even let the Duoduo army pour out.

You must know that just two or three months ago, Duoduo easily destroyed the Hongguang Dynasty and surrendered 200,000 troops, and now in order to deal with Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yue, Duoduo not only has to personally lead a large army to aid Bolo, but even ask for help from himself, the regent in Beijing, which makes Dolgon fully realize how bad the situation in Jiangnan is: "I know that it is not the responsibility of Bolobele, but is this matter my responsibility?" ”

Although the messenger sent by Duoduo to ask for help felt that it was Dorgon's responsibility, and if there was no shaving order from the imperial court, the situation would never be so bad, but how dare he confront the regent face to face: "The disposition of the imperial court will not be wrong, King Yu really didn't expect the Jinhua thief to be so insidious and vicious, and his unpreparedness caused Bolobel to suffer a big loss, and he admitted how the court dealt with him, and only asked the imperial court to send troops to support Jiangnan as soon as possible!" ”

According to Dolgon's original plan, in addition to leaving a few soldiers and horses to garrison, the main force of the southern expedition army should return to the north, and he even prepared a replacement of soldiers and horses, but since the situation has changed so drastically, he can only change the original plan and put this replacement of soldiers and horses into the Jiangnan battlefield as reinforcements.

But before making a decision on reinforcements, Dolgon asked the messenger who came for help with another very important matter: "The king of Yu has informed the king of this matter?" Have you asked for help from the British King? ”

In the matter of rushing to the south of the Yangtze River, Azig can be said to be the first to get the moon near the water, as long as he can enter Zhejiang in time, he can solve the problem as soon as possible, but this is also a very sensitive issue, and the messenger sent by Duoduo to ask for help gave a very vague answer: "King Yu has notified the British king as soon as possible, but the country's military strategy does not dare to be specialized, please ask the regent to send troops to the south as soon as possible!" ”

Dolgon already understood that Duoduo had only "informed" the British king Azig, and that the actual situation would inevitably shrink and shrink, so he would send an envoy to ask him for help, otherwise Azig's army of more than 100,000 troops would enter Zhejiang, and even Liu Yongxi, the ten princes of Yue, would not be able to parry.

Duoduo and Azig are both his own half-brothers, and after entering the customs, Dolgon also let his two brothers serve as the commanders of the two field groups, but the suspicion between the three brothers has reached such a level, Dolgon can't help but sigh: "I will let King Azig enter Zhejiang as soon as possible, but since the situation in Jiangnan is so dangerous, it seems that he will continue to send troops to the south!" ”

If Dorgon had failed to make this expedition to the south, Dorgon would naturally not have made any additional bets, but the process of Dodor's expedition with Azignam was unexpectedly smooth, so Dorgon made up his mind to make additional bets, and was even ready to bet all his bets on it.

He immediately thought of the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Reinforcements, who was originally going to use thousands of Eight Banners to change defenses, but now in this situation, thousands of Eight Banners may not be enough to save the situation, so he immediately thought of the most suitable person: "It seems that Haoge is going to be released!" ”

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, was a sensitive person, especially after the accession of Emperor Shunzhi, who became even more sensitive to the loser of the political struggle, and last winter Haoge could only sweep away a group of inconspicuous bandits, and now Dolgon has finally decided to let Hauge go.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from Duoduo, Azig and Haoge, not to mention one Yue Guo Gong Liu Yongxi, even ten Yue Guo Gong Liu Yongxi have all been cleaned up!

Now Dorgon was confident.

Jinhua City.

Although Empress Zhang has left the city to drive the expedition in person, there are still Jinhua Left-behind Divisions headed by the princess of the prison and the cabinet minister Zhu Dadian, and most of the supplies on the front line are handed over to the Jinhua Left-behind Division.

At present, most of the supplies needed by the 60,000 or 70,000 troops in Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Jiaxing are in charge of Zhu Dadian, a cabinet minister, and everyone is worried that Zhu Dadian was a top expert in making money in the past.

But it turns out that Zhu Dadian is indeed a capable member in this regard, although everyone knows that he takes care of his own people and relatives and friends, but all the supplies are in order, so that many people in the Donglin Restoration Society who have opinions on Zhu Dadian in the past feel that Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing are not wrong, and it is absolutely foolproof for Zhu Dadian to sit in Jinhua.

But this "foolproof" statement has now been seriously challenged, and the news from the north has shocked the entire Jinhua Mansion: "Ruan Dacheng and Fang Guoan's soldiers and horses are coming to King Jinhua Qin?" ”
