Yue Le, a slave of ten thousand deaths, wept blood and knelt in front of the emperor's father regent: the slave was ordered to follow the general of Pingnan to cross the river south to conquer the rebellion of the former Ming Dynasty。。。。。 However, in the battle of Shanghai, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty were lost, more than 1,000 captured boats and ships were burned, and artillery and heavy food were lost. From the Pingnan general Le Ke Dehun down, Turg and other generals and officials were killed. The pseudo-rebel Li Shouhan took the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack, and the momentum of the puppet was unmatched for a while. The land of Jiangnan lost half of Thailand. ”

Yue Le's petition was sent to Beijing overnight at an expedited speed of 800 miles and placed on Dolgon's desk. Listening to the pen post to read to him the death of Luck Dehun and others, and the defeat of the Battle of Shanghai, Dolgon's heart was bright, this was not Yue Le's fault, on the contrary, if Yue Le was not present, I was afraid that at this moment, even Nanjing would be lost.

What's more, Yue Le launched a surprise attack, regained Fuzhou in one fell swoop, and smashed a punch on the door of Li Huabao, who was gaining momentum, interrupting his idea of meeting his brother-in-law Shi Lang in Taihu. had to stop and rectify and consolidate the territory, which also bought time for the next strategic move of the Qing army.

Yue Le's attack on Suzhou was actually a tactical attack before the strategic contraction. The order is to buy time and space. He stayed in Suzhou for a few days, watching the gentry hunt and kill inside and outside the city, killing Suzhou Mansion in the land of heaven like a mountain of corpses in the sea of blood. Only then did he get up and take the captured grain and wealth and nearly 1,000 ships of all sizes to Nanjing.

This report in front of Dolgon expounded his idea: withdraw the main force of the Qing army in Jiangnan at this time to Jiangbei, leave Jiangnan to the local gentry, and let them fight a bad battle with the Hongwu army for a few days before speaking.

As for the main force of the Qing army withdrawing to Jiangbei and arranging it between the Huaihe River Canal and the Yellow River in Jiangbei, Yue Le also made it very clear that he would clean up all kinds of armed forces in this large area, open up the canal, and compress the Shandong Lumahong and Wuxing troops to the Yimeng Mountains or drive them to the Denglai Sea. Don't let them continue to attack and harass the Qing army from the flank and rear, and give the Qing army a slap with a kitchen knife from time to time.

For the other armed forces led by Xie Qian, Yue Le advocated differential treatment, "Those who are resolute and stubborn from thieves will be exterminated with large soldiers." Those who touch the two ends of the fish in troubled waters will be deterred by the might of soldiers, and lured by the position of officials. Those who are loyal in their hearts, appease them. ”

In addition, Yue Le's suggestion to place the GI between the Jianghuai River has another purpose. It is an economically developed zone second only to Jiangnan. Needless to say, there are grain producing areas, and there is a land of Huaiyang, which is known as rich and convenient for raising military salaries. Moreover, it was densely populated, and it was very easy to recruit soldiers to replenish the army. The people on both sides of the Huai River have to struggle between life and death every year, and they have long been trained to be extremely tough, and they are the most good materials for recruiting soldiers.

Historically, the Huai Army, the Beiyang Army, and the National Revolutionary Army regarded the Huai River region as a source of military troops, and randomly sent a recruiting committee member to take some of the ocean, and immediately had people to eat food when they erected the recruitment flag. Therefore, they have summed up a set of experiences, the more natural disasters come, the more good opportunities for us to replenish the army. For example, the great floods in the Yangtze River basin in the 1930s became the best help for the National Revolutionary Army to encircle and suppress the Red Army's cannon fodder.

Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's off topic.

Moreover, there is another advantage of placing a large army between the Jianghuai River and the river, the transportation here extends in all directions, and to the north you can break through the Lumahong Department of Shandong, and to the south you can cross the river again and go south to engage Li Shouhan's main force. To the west, you can respond to the Qing army in Hubei, Sichuan and other places.

"What do you think of this petition that King Anjun gave me?" After listening to Yue Le's paperwork, which was not so much an inspection and plea, but a document on the next step of the battle strategy, he slowly opened his mouth and asked the people present.

Present, except for his younger brother Duoduo, almost all of them were Han scholars. In addition to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who had already served as early as the old slave period, Inspector Hong, who had just returned to Beijing from Nanjing, was also among them. In addition to him, the other Hanchen was quite conspicuous and embarrassed.

These people are not only older than him (the qualification to be traitors), but also their identities are all banner people. Only he, not only the Wenchen who surrendered after the Qing army reached Beijing, has almost no qualifications to speak of, but also a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

The so-called patriarchs of the Three Dynasties mean that he and a group of Ming officials represented by him first became ministers before the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and then served their allegiance in front of the Yongchang Emperor Li Zicheng.

Others call the elders of the Three Dynasties, and they have to survive for years, and they have to survive until one emperor after another. These people are the elders of the Three Dynasties, it is much simpler, just more than forty days.

Moreover, this kind of person's reproductive ability is particularly strong, and the offspring multiply, and the evil seed is spread, who dares to say that there is no such thing as now? For example, the melon pickers who embroidered the red flag overnight, and the chameleon brother who supported the dish cooking movement and performed more than ten programs alone at the conference, who is not the filial son and grandson of this generation?

This person's name is Feng Quan. It's even better.

Feng Quan's deeds, let's not talk about it, so as not to be sealed. (The unkind author has already offended many people, and it is a fluke to be able to survive until now.) In a word, his early experience in the Hanlin Academy is basically a book of Tanmei, in which he plays the role of Shou. It was because of this experience that he went from the main force of the Donglin Party to Wei Zhongxian in a fit of anger and became the backbone of the Eunuch Party. is not only the backbone, but also the righteous son of Gonggong Wei, who has been promoted step by step at the age of 9,000, and has become a student of Wuyingdian, a scholar of the household department, and a prince of Taibao. With power in hand and backers, it is natural to liquidate the Donglin Party back then. As a result, the Hanlin Yuan turned his rice criminal, Miao Changqi and other Donglin Party members, all of them were arrested and killed. However, it was because of this happy enmity that Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Gonggong Wei was killed, and Feng Quan was on the list of eunuchs. However, this person does have some means, like Cui Chengxiu and others from the eunuch party, they all died, but he was only a degraded punishment.

Dolgon led the Qing army into Beijing, and immediately wrote a letter to summon him to come and enter the Inner Court as a scholar, and now he is an official envoy of the Inner Han Lin Hongwen Academy and the official envoy of the Ministry of Rites.

Compared with Fan Wen, Cheng Ningwan, Hong Chengchou and others mentioned above, Feng Quan's qualifications are naturally inferior to them. However, he also has his advantages that these few people can't match. That is, he has been in the power center of the Ming court for a long time, and he is familiar with government affairs and various situations. At this point, don't say that Fan Wencheng Ning finished me, even Hong Chengchou sighed to himself. You must know that although Inspector Hong is in a high position, after all, he has been leading troops to fight outside for a long time, and he is far less familiar with the operation of political affairs and the situation in various places than Feng Quan.

That's why Dorgon wanted to take him as a confidant.

These are either Dolgon's own brothers, or people in the inner circle of power during the Manchurian period, or they are regarded as guides, or they are familiar with the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty. Only the one kneeling on the edge and corner is quite eye-catching, it is Chen Banda.

He, a head craftsman, was able to come to such a high-level meeting, not to mention the few people in front of him, even he himself, when he received the order last night, he was a little confused. If it weren't for the fact that it was Dolgon's henchman Ba Ya Lazhangjing, who was also his acquaintance, Chen Ban would have doubted whether someone was playing his prank.

Except for Chen Banda, which of the remaining people is not an old oilman who has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea for many years? As soon as I heard Dolgon's tone, I knew that I was afraid that the master of the regent had already agreed, at least half of them agreed with Yue Le's proposition, otherwise, he would not have called him the title of King Anjun. Not calling them by their first names or yelling at damn minions or something, it's telling.

The leader already has a basic opinion, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a step for the leader's decision, oh no, just provide a basis.

Jiangnan will not be able to take advantage of it for a while and a half, so it is better to withdraw the main force to Jiangbei, throw Jiangnan to those demoted officials and local gentry, and let them organize volunteers or recruit soldiers and horses to fight with the Hongwu army to fight one Buddha and two Buddhas Nirvana. The imperial court won't care if you live or die, even if you can't win any battles, you can add a little more disgust to Li Shouhan, contain him more, and wait for the Third World War to start, at that time, hehe! Oh, I went to the wrong set again, this is not the plot of Jiang Chongcai issuing letters of appointment to bandits everywhere!

Anyway, we have robbed a lot of silver in Jiangnan, so we simply let Yue Le transport it back, and we can use it to pay soldiers and horses from all over the country!

As for withdrawing the main force south of the Yangtze River to clean up the north of the Yangtze River and open up the canal, this is even more in favor of Duoduo, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others. Duoduo and Hong Chengchou have experienced the canal, which was originally a smooth north-south artery, but as a result, the sluice here was blown up today, and the embankment was occupied by thieves tomorrow. That's not all, the prefectures and counties along the canal are also constantly changing the king's banner at the head of the city, being tug-of-war back and forth by various armed forces. If we want to change this situation, then we can only temporarily transfer the soldiers and horses from Jiangnan back to deal with Jiangbei.

"Prince Yu, Scholar Hong. The two of you go to Jinan, and after the king of Anjun leads the troops back to Jiangbei, you might as well be stationed in Yangzhou or Huai'an, and the three of you will work together in the north and south to clear the area from Shandong to Jiangbei! ”

"Mr. Fan, you have drawn up a decree to let Prince Ying lead the army and specialize in the Western Thief Sun Kewang, Zhang Dingguo and others. Well, there was another decree to Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, to lead his troops to Sichuan. King Pingxi, King Pingxi, give me the peace of the western thief! ”

Fan Wencheng naturally knew in his heart that many of the subordinates of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, were from the Tuntian soldiers of Denglai, and they were considered to be the subordinates of Liang Guogong. Even among the original Liaodong soldiers and horses, Li Huamei's godson is also a lot. Letting these people fight against the Hongwu Army is tantamount to letting the green lion, the white elephant, the golden retriever, these monsters with a backstage fight with the master of the family, but I am afraid that as soon as they enter the battlefield, they will immediately appear in their original form. Don't talk about them, even the dead soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchuria, weren't they greeted by Ao Lei Yilan and suddenly mutined on the battlefield? simply let Wu Sangui beat Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, and you beat them to death, which also makes us worry.

Everything is easy first and then difficult, and when the meat is eaten, all that remains is the bones. The next thing to face is that after withdrawing the army back to Jiangbei and transferring Azig and Wu Sangui to fight Sun Kewang Li Dingguo, what should Li Shouhan in Jiangnan do? Could it be that after he calmed down those fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the south of the Yangtze River, he suddenly crossed the Yangtze River one morning and appeared in front of your kang?

Since today is the prelude to the king, it is necessary to say why.

"Hit! Fight with the surname Lee! Duoduo gritted his teeth. If you think about it, since Li Shouhan appeared in the field of vision of the Qing army, the Qing army has suffered a series of losses. Not to mention the countless losses of the soldiers and slaves, the sons and nephews of the family also fell under his muzzle knife.

"We weren't afraid of him when we were in Liaodong, but now that we have entered Beijing, second brother, you are now the regent, and you must fight Liang Guogong to the end!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that someone will have to make irresponsible remarks! Although Duoduo was known for his rudeness, he also heard a lot of the different voices within the Eight Banners.

So, no matter what, you must fight, fight resolutely!

Dorgon glanced approvingly at his brother, but frowned again and shook his head slightly.

Regarding Duoduo's statement, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others also agreed. However, they also had the same attitude as Dolgon, always feeling that something was missing.

"Prince Regent, Prince Yu, ladies and gentlemen, I have something to ask the minister. Fighting is naturally to be fought, but what is it in the end? What exactly is in the end? In other words, to the end, for what purpose? ”

Feng Quan's words pierced this layer of window paper, and Hong Chengchou began to look at the colleague in front of him. Although Feng Quan is a little older at this time, after all, he was a very iconic character when he was young, and he also had a bit of a. Phew! It is a well-groomed and personable demeanor. Suddenly made Inspector Hong admire.

The attack saw that it was pleasing to the eye, so it was natural to have a good mix. Phew! It is sympathetic to each other, and there is a sense of meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, so it is natural to have a few words of exchange.

"I wonder what Scholar Feng has to teach you?"

"I don't dare to teach. I just want to do my part as a courtier. For the regent, for the emperor. Feng Quan consciously didn't look at Inspector Hong's fiery eyes, he had seen too much of this kind of eyes.

"I see it stupidly, I'm afraid that Prince Yu is thinking at this moment, what kind of bullshit is he asking about this guy in front of him! Naturally, it is necessary to exterminate all the traitors of Li Shouhan and dominate the world, and the sea will be unified. Prince Yu, what the minister said is yes or no? Feng Quan deliberately learned to speak in Duoduo's tone and voice.

In the end, he is a person who can save the life of his whole family after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, this ability to see the wind and steer the rudder is beyond the reach of Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and others. Duoduo couldn't help but smile when he said it, "You guy, it's like a roundworm in the stomach of this king." That's right, that's exactly what this king thinks! ”

Actually, it wasn't just Dodor who thought so, but Dorgon didn't think so. But if you think about it, can you do it?

"Your Majesty, the minister served as the chief Sinong when he was in the former Ming court, and he has some experience in the affairs of the imperial treasury. Later, although he was persecuted by the Donglin traitor party, he went and returned to his hometown, but he was in the rivers and lakes and the heart was in the temple. He still pays attention to the affairs of the court, since Li Shouhan entered Beijing to pay tribute during the Chongzhen period, the minister has paid attention to this person, and has correspondence with colleagues everywhere. ”

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu, Lord Hong, the minister's knowledge of Li Shouhan, his department, and his nest are all from pen and ink paper, and you have dealt with that Li Shouhan, and you know much more about this person than students."

Dolgon's eyelids couldn't help but jump a few times, and he remembered the continuous sound of rockets and shells falling on Tower Hill, and the sound of shouts and killings in his ears one after another, one after another Eight Banners young talents led the team to rush up, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into corpses or broken hands and feet were carried down.

Hong Chengchou remembered that on the battlefield of chasing and suppressing thieves from all over the country, on the battlefield of Liaodong, the grain, rice, armor, and invincible model brigade from Nanzhong.

These two people are people who have a big city in their hearts, and they let their hearts turn over and over, but their faces are calm as usual. Only Duoduo, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, let out a few long breaths, and rolled his Adam's apple a few times, as if he swallowed the words in his mouth hard.

"You dog... Mr. Feng, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. ”

"The weak fight with the strong, the weak take advantage of the victory, and the strong are good at wrestling; The rich sue the poor, the poor are happy to settle the matter quickly, and the rich are happy to last. Feng Quan first said in a sincere manner, and then turned his head: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, what is the fundamental place between me and Li Shouhan in the Qing Dynasty?" What about the wealth of grain and rice? How about Ding Zhuang, who can be used to join the army? What about food, salaries, armor, weapons, gunpowder, etc.? ”

Compared with Li Shouhan, the Qing Dynasty is poor! And it's the kind of poor person who eats the last meal and worries the next. This was summed up by the Dorgon brothers as early as the Liaodong period.

"The regent is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows the benefits and disadvantages of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu. Recently, I have been listening to the Hanlin Academy talk about the Three Kingdoms, and the records recorded in the history books are even more incomparable. Although Shu Han Zhuge claimed to have won a hundred battles, he often ran out of food and had to retreat. In the humble opinion of the ministers, if I were Li Shouhan, I would use a large amount of food and materials to confront my Qing soldiers and horses, and consume it until I had to retreat with hatred! ”

With a "bang", Duoduo fell down from the chair, his face was pale and uncertain, but his fingers kept trembling and pointed at Feng Quan, "You, you this... ”

"Fifteenth brother! Don't be rude! Wu Liangfu! Bring chairs to the gentlemen, and order some snacks! I want to listen to Mr. Feng's opinions. ”
