Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Party

Fan Wencheng knew that Haoge was the loser in the struggle for the throne, so Dolgon and many Manchurian nobles around him looked at Haoge very unpleasantly, and always tried every possible way to attack Haoge, until not long ago, when Shunzhi ascended the throne, Haoge was able to restore the original title and Prince Shuosu.

Moreover, although Haoge nominally presided over the Shandong front, in fact, he could only "Dingjining Manjiadong bandits", and could only personally solve a group of bandits with the respect of the prince, so Fan Wencheng did not dare to say anything about the problem of increasing troops for Haoge, but specifically mentioned this sincere son Liu Yongxi.

But Dolgon didn't take this half-haired child in his eyes at all: "I have already asked the Han officials in Beijing, this sincere uncle is only seventeen years old after the New Year, can he still have three heads and six arms, no matter how strong he is, it is only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and it is also a soldier and horse trained with the coins of the Great Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as he talked about this problem, Dorgon was very angry, after entering the customs, the Qing Kingdom encountered a serious shortage of food, and the reason why Duoduo went south was also to use the grain and salary in Jiangnan to solve the imminent financial problem.

Thinking that the Southern Dynasty was finally willing to take the initiative to pay tribute, and was snatched away by this lawless little hairy child to serve as his own food, he really hated this little sincerity to the core.

He said loudly: "It will take three or five months to solve Li Zicheng, and then you will know how many prospects this sincere prince is worth!"

The Manchurian nobles next to him didn't take Liu Yongxi in their eyes: "That's right, this sincere Bo Shizi is not worth a few futures, although he mixed well in the Southern Dynasty, but he is a few thousand foot soldiers, and he is not at the same level as the Manchurian elite cavalry!"

"Yes, the generals of the Ming Kingdom are all good all the way, and their subordinates are vulnerable!"

"I hope that this sincere Bo Shizi can be worth a few more futures, otherwise the soldiers below will not have enough points!"

Although Chen Hongfan and Zuo Maodi have mentioned the name Liu Yongxi many times, in the eyes of Dolgon and all of you in Manchuria and Guizhou, Liu Yongxi is not much different from other Ming generals, and Chen Hongfan and Zuo Maodi can't say anything outstanding about Liu Yongxi.

Dolgon also specially sent someone to investigate the strength and details of Liu Yongxi's department, and the result made him very disappointed, the so-called "Jingkou Town" and "Linhuai Town" are new troops that have only been in the army for a few months, although there is a horse team, but at most it is only three or four hundred horses, and the equipment is the general level of the Ming army, if Liu Yongxi did not play the banner of Gao Jie, I am afraid that he will be eaten directly by Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing now.

Therefore, in the eyes of Dolgon and the Manchurian nobles, although Liu Yongxi is not a native chicken, he is only a slightly stronger native chicken, so Dolgon said confidently: "Don't underestimate this sincere Boshizi, I think a bull record will definitely not be able to take this Liu Yongxi, at least two cow records will be needed, maybe three or four cow records will be on it together!"

Dolgon felt that no matter how much he paid attention to Liu Yongxi, he could only pay attention to it to this extent, and the Manchurian nobles present felt that Hauge was extremely wise.

For Gao Jie and Shi Kefa, who also supported the Northern Expedition, the immediate mobilization of the Qing army was a godsend, and it seemed to show that the national policy of "joint capture and extermination of the invaders" was very feasible.

Although it is not known that Azig's 80,000-strong army will attack from the direction of northern Shaanxi, the tens of thousands of troops under Duoduo's department are turning to the direction of Tongguan, which means that a major battle between Qingshun and Qingshun is close at hand, and no matter who wins or loses, it seems to be a lose-lose outcome, and according to intelligence, the two sides are already engaged in a series of outpost battles.

In this case, it is the best choice to launch an offensive in the name of "parting ways into Qin" and "meeting divisions to suppress the attack", but this is almost just a private action of Shi Kefa and Gao Jie, whether it is Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo or Huang Degong, they are always standing still.

Unless Gao Jie can achieve an unexpected brilliant victory in this Northern Expedition, they will always maintain a posture of standing still, and the imperial court is now finally relieved to prepare to fight with Empress Zhang in Zhejiang, but in addition to Empress Zhang in Zhejiang, King Lu in Hangzhou is also the target of Emperor Hongguang's headache.

Although Empress Zhang has been living in Jinhua for the past two months, and has always refused to talk about the abolition of the legislature, there are many people who propose that Empress Zhang should change the establishment of King Lu, and King Lu is also surrounded by a group of enthusiastic people.

In this case, the imperial court simply did not have the spare energy and resources to consider the Northern Expedition, and Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng did not want Gao Jie's Northern Expedition to be a great success, after all, in their eyes, this was only the Northern Expedition launched by Shi Kefa.

Although Shi Kefa has been squeezed out of the center to serve as the governor of Jiangbei, he has always been the secretary of the Nanjing military department when King Fu ascended the throne, and now his ranking and position among the ministers are higher than Ma Shiying.

Therefore, although they could not talk about the problem of delaying, the support they could provide was almost zero, and in a cold wind, Liu Yongxi finally used the gold, silver, silk and grain obtained from the previous "protection" and marched north along the canal.

Although Liu Yongxi's Linhuai Town is only under the banner of Gao Jie and has actually maintained its independence, this time Liu Yongxi set the tone in advance and regarded himself as a member of Gao Jiejun, for which he also deliberately walked with 700 people from Xing Shengping, who was born in Gao Jie's army, and he also brought out Chen Yuan's first battalion, which was also born in Gao Jie's army.

Chen Yuan's department is actually Xing Shengping's old department, but there were only thirty or forty people at the beginning and they had trouble with Xing Shengping all day long, so they were selected by Xing Shengping to exchange with Li Huaiqing's department, and now Chen Yuan has developed into a big battalion of seven or eight hundred people, so that Xing Shengping has used to make friends with him.

And with Xing Shengping and Chen Yuan, two veteran generals, Liu Yongxi has no problem of unevenness all the way north, even if there is an uneven problem, Li Xiangjun can be completely settled.

The battalion leaders in Liu Yongxi's army have always welcomed Li Xiangjun to lead the troupe to work together, even if they can't understand Kunqu opera and Pingdan, they are also elated, not to mention that Li Xiangjun himself is fascinated by everyone listening to it and empathizing with it, if it weren't for Li Xiangjun in this Northern Expedition, Linhuai Town would not have reached a consensus on sending troops so quickly.

The various battalion leaders of Gao Jiejun also welcomed the reunion of the two armies organized by Li Xiangjun.

Every time the party is good wine and good meat, you can enjoy and rejoice, you can also feel the blood of serving the country with loyalty, and you can hear the taste of your hometown and the charm of three days around the beam.
