Chapter 287: Dolgon's Determination
"Regent, Regent...... Prince Su is a timid man, you don't have to be like him......"
Fan Wencheng's voice suddenly rang out, dragging Dorgon out of his thoughts. Although he is a minion with a white flag, he is not a sworn friend of Dorgon and Duoduo, but is closer to Huang Taiji who collects money from Duoduo for his wife (of course, the money is in Huang Taiji's pocket) - he is an old traitor, as early as when Nurhachi captured Fushun, he and Fan Wenhuan "fought with swords and crossed the military gate", and sold himself to become a clothed minion. However, at that time, he was not a minion with a white flag, but a minion under the Shuo Mandate of the Red Flag, who supported Huang Taiji.
But after the death of Huang Taiji, Shuo Zhen, who originally belonged to Huang Taiji's camp, somehow took the wrong medicine, and suddenly supported Dolgon as emperor. As a result, he was not a person inside and out, and was betrayed and executed by Shuo's father. A part of the cattle received by Shuo Zhi was distributed to Duoduo, so Fan Wencheng became a slave with a white flag - now his wife can sleep with Duoduo casually!
I don't know if it's because of the green hat, anyway, Fan Wencheng, a minion with a white flag, is still inclined to Huang Taiji's son Haoge. I don't want Haug to be excused by Dolgon......
When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs battle last time, Hauge sang a big tune, and did not want to mix it on the grounds that there had never been smallpox, and as a result, the prince was masturbated by Dolgon. Fortunately, he took the credit of Beijing, so he atoned for his sins and restored the king.
But Hauge didn't learn his lesson, and his head began to mess up again. actually proposed to give up Shanxi and attack Shandong, which is not only demolishing Dorgon's platform, but also demolishing the platform of the Great Qing Dynasty - if Shanxi is not taken down, Shandong will not be easy to defend even if it is defeated!
Besides, Datong and Taiyuan are not easy to fight, but Dengzhou, Qingzhou, and Qufu are easy to fight? Dengzhou is also backed by the sea and has its own seaport, so it is not even possible to surround it and starve for food, so it must be tackled in a real way. Let's not talk about how many people died, the question is who will go? Which flag is willing to fight Dengzhou with heavy casualties?
If the Eight Banners don't go, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army will definitely not be able to go either! People are "Zhu and Wu, Jiangnan", let Wu Sangui go, what should I do if I defect directly?
If the Eight Banners and Wu Sangui don't go, then who can beat the remaining traitor army to defeat the new army?
Therefore, the proposal to abandon Shanxi and attack Shandong is simply to mess around with Dolgon. If this is really done, the future of the Great Qing Kingdom will also be the Great Liao Kingdom!
"Humph!" Dolgon snorted and glared at Fan Wencheng fiercely, "You know how to exonerate Hauge!" Although he is the eldest son of the first emperor, he has neither talent nor virtue, if the Great Qing Kingdom falls into his hands, how can he be the opponent of Zhu Cihong and Li Zicheng? ”
"The prince forgives the sin," was broken by Dolgon's thoughts, and cold sweat broke out on Fan Wencheng's forehead, "After all, King Su is the eldest son of the first emperor, if he is disposed of too harshly, I am afraid that people's hearts will not be attached to ......"
Dorgon snorted twice, looking very angry, but angry was angry, and after he was angry, he still didn't dare to rashly eradicate Hauge.
Because he and his two half-brothers Azig and Duoduo only have two hundred flags in their hands, although the strength of the two white flags is very strong (the two white flags are the two yellow flags led by Nurhachi, and the color was changed after Huang Taiji ascended the throne), but Hauge has the support of two yellow flags and the positive blue flag (Hauge himself is the positive blue flag) on his side. The strength is not weak!
In addition, Dai Shan, the ancestor of the two red flags, has always supported Huang Taiji, but Dai Shan and his two sons are like enemies, which makes the two red flags more divided, and they can't give Haoge more support. And Zilharang, who is inlaid with the blue flag, is also a confidant of Huang Taiji and a supporter of Haoge.
So within the Eight Banners, Dolgon, the regent, is actually a minority, but because the two white flags are more capable of fighting, and Dolgon is fierce and insidious enough, this makes Dolgon gain power.
But Hauge's henchman is not something that Dolgon can get rid of if he wants to...... Eight Banners has no capital to split and fight at all!
Dolgon's face was full of anger, but his mind was unusually clear, and he said calmly: "The battle of Shanxi must be fought to the end!" Must win! If Shanxi can't take it, Beijing will not be stable, and once Beijing loses, everything will be empty...... Taiyuan called Duoduo, Azige and Wu Sangui to attack together, and there was no need to chase Li Zicheng, nor care about the war in the direction of Beizhili. Even if the Liukou and the Southern Army take Zhending, they don't want them to return to the army.
As for Datong Mansion...... Haoge, Aobai, and Geng Zhongming were short of manpower, so they let the soldiers and horses of Mandahai lead the red flag from Daizhou to the north and join forces with Haoge! ”
Dolgon stared at Fan Wencheng with his eyes, "Fan Wencheng, you personally go to Haoge's army, praise military affairs, and tell Haoge not to worry about anything else, just besiege Datong Mansion City...... This king gave him the blue flag, the red flag, and the yellow flag, and also gave him the Han army with the yellow flag. ”
"Minion Command." Fan Wencheng kowtowed, and at the same time exhaled softly.
Shi Ganglin, a bachelor from the National Academy of History on the side, interjected at this time: "Lord Wang, now the two white flags, the red flag and most of the yellow flags, as well as one of the yellow flags, are all fighting outside, and most of the blue flags are staying in Liaodong's hometown, is there a void in Beijing?" ”
Qi Chongge, a scholar of Hongwen Academy, also said: "Lord Wang, now the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty are menacing, and even the Confucian family in Qufu has sent troops...... There are only soldiers with yellow flags and red flags around Beijing, is there too few? ”
"Menacing?" Dolgon sneered, "That's all false! What the Southern Dynasties can fight is the New Army, as long as the soldiers and horses of the New Army do not move, Zhu Cihong is bluffing, and he doesn't have to pay attention to it at all. This king doesn't believe that wastes like Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Xu Dingguo dare to approach Beijing City! ”
"What about the Rogue Brigade?" The solid mountain of the white flag is really He Luo, who will ask, "This group of people has tens of thousands, and it looks like they are elite!" Although they certainly did not dare to attack Beijing, they could not ignore it, otherwise the granges around Beijing would be ruined by them. If spring sowing is delayed, there will be a shortage of food next autumn......"
Unlike Li Zicheng, who did not dare to defend Beijing, the Manchurians were not worried about the loss of the great castle of Beijing at all.
There is no need for the Eight Banners to go to the city, just with the Eight Banners family members in the city, those old people, children, women and clothed servants to go to the city, it is enough to repel Li Zicheng's army. And now there are basically no uncontrolled Han Chinese in Beijing, so there is no need to worry about civil strife.
Beijing is already the city of flag people!
However, there are still many newly occupied granges around Beijing that are unstable, and those Han Chinese who were forced into slavery are likely to respond when Li Zicheng's army approaches.
Once these farms are in chaos, next year's spring sowing will be over, and without a single crop of spring wheat, the city of Beijing will have to starve in the fall.
Dolgon thought for a moment and said, "Then let Luo Luohun and Tan Tai lead the men and horses with red and yellow flags to attack!" ”
......
At the same time that Dolgon made the decision to "put Shanxi first". In the north of Zhili's Hejian Mansion, Zhending Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion, Daimyo's Mansion, Henan's Zhangde Mansion, Shandong's Jinan Mansion, the northern part of Dongchang Mansion (Daqing Hebei), Shanxi's Datong Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, so these places are all mixed up.
Hundreds of thousands of horses from the Ming, Qing and Shun sides, including regular armies, miscellaneous armies and rebel armies under the banners of the three families, were engaged in a great war in the land of North China that was chaotic to the extreme.
The reason why it is "chaotic to the extreme" is because it is a three-way melee! The so-called "Mingshun" joint felling of the Qing Dynasty does not exist at all!
On the Datong-Taiyuan battlefield on the northern front, the Ming army was resisting the attack launched by the Qing army from the direction of Xuanfu on the one hand; On the one hand, it launched an offensive to the western part of Taiyuan Province controlled by the Dashun Army, seizing the territory of the Luliang Mountains in order to open up a new base area.
On the southern front, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Xu Dingguo, who were fooled by Zhu Cihong into participating in the Northern Expedition, made up their minds not to fight with the Qing army from the beginning, and they sent troops to grab money and territory! Actively occupy the territory abandoned by the Qing army because of the attack of the Dashun army, and from time to time fight with the partial division of the Dashun army.
Their appearance is not so much the Northern Expedition as it is dragging the Northern Expedition back......
