Just when Haicheng's side was in full swing.

The core of the Manchu and Mongolian royal families such as Dolgon, Duoduo, and Zilharang, together with more than 30,000 elites of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, has approached the Bozhou region, and is closely supervising the world war that has changed from the Central Plains to the Jiangnan and Lianghuai regions.

It is already the end of mid-March, which can be regarded as the official beginning of spring, and the suburbs of Bozhou have begun to show a little greenery.

However, the Manchu and Mongolian armies did not enter the city, but were stationed outside the city.

Early in the morning, outside the camp of the Qing army, there were many local squires from Bozhou, and even some squires from Guidefu, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, and even Fengyang rushed to pay a visit.

It is different from the previous three-light policy of the Qing army's entry into the country, which was like a plague of locusts, almost like 'killing and burning all the people and robbing them all'.

This time, the main force of the Qing army came over, and there was no crime at all, and they continued to win over the squires from all over the country, and handed over all those notorious things to Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and other Han minions.

Their intentions are also clear!

Early in the morning, the people of Dolgon would definitely not receive them, but they arranged for Sony, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and others to receive them, and they were extremely friendly to these squires.

In the royal tent of the white flag, Dolgon, Duoduo, Zilharang, Azig and other Manchu cores also gathered together early to discuss military affairs.

On a huge panoramic map in the tent, small flags were pasted, and several surnames such as 'Wu', 'Bai', and 'Kong' were marked on the flags, which were the specific locations of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Kong Youde and others.

In the past few days since Duoduo came back from Goryeo, seeing that the situation is getting smoother and smoother, his mood has improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "Elder brother, sixth brother, twelfth brother, if you continue to develop like this, I'm afraid, it won't take half a month, I'm afraid you will be able to clean up the Jiangbei region." Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, these dog minions, are also deeply hidden on weekdays. This time, in order to grab food, their bottom was exposed. ”

Azig smiled: "Han people are this kind of temperament, they always like to hide and tuck, just get used to it." However, the more smoothly the situation is now, the more troubles will follow. We have to get them to head them into the Haicheng battlefield before they can absorb these gains. ”

Zilharang said, "Not bad. We are really a bit big this time, and we must try our best to control it when we can. These dog minions don't have a fuel-efficient lamp! Especially this Yangzhou City, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight. ”

Yangzhou City was guarded by Shi Kefa himself at this time.

After the affairs of the Lianghuai Salt Farm were busy, he listened to Xu Changqing's advice and concentrated more energy on military affairs.

At this time, although there were only more than 20,000 real soldiers in Yangzhou City, Yangzhou City was not only tall and wide, it was the most famous historical city in China, and the economy here was also developed, and the grain and manpower reserves were also quite abundant.

Moreover, there is a water division in Yangzhou City, and there is a water division in Zhenjiang next door.

If you really want to argue, in the absence of strong support, Wu Sangui and their Han army banner minions are really difficult to fight.

Because the Qing army will definitely not send their hot air balloons to help Wu Sangui and others fight Yangzhou.

As early as ten or twenty years ago, the predecessor of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, had a precedent of leading an army of more than 300,000 to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was led by Lu Xiangsheng with the elite of the nine sides at that time.

At this time, don't look at Wu Sangui, their gang of Han Army Banner minions are very powerful, and they seem to be unstoppable, but in fact, they have not yet encountered real hard bones.

Once it hits the hard bones, many of the dirt in it will be revealed, and the offensive will inevitably suffer major twists and turns.

Zilharang is the old fritter of the old fritters, and you can see the core of it at a glance.

Duoduo sneered: "It's a good thing that they can't be defeated, just let them consume it." But this Shi Kefa is a waste, I'm afraid it's not as strong as I thought. Then we will see if we can hook Xu Changqing

It's coming. ”

A few people are still relatively optimistic.

As Xu Changqing guessed before, the Great Qing Kingdom has been in the Qing Kingdom for so many years, and they seem to have hole cards in their hands, and they are not afraid of chaos in the world.

Especially in the current situation, it is more in their interests to have chaos in the world.

At least, at present, all the ministries of these Han army banners are under the command of their Great Qing Kingdom, and in this way, they use this way to make Wu Sangui and others who are not righteous and unruly, and they must rely on their Great Qing Kingdom's snort.

This makes the situation seem chaotic, but many of them are still in their hands.

Dolgon, however, remained silent.

After a few people had discussed it, he said: "Sixth brother, fifteenth, twelfth brother, what you said is good, but we still can't be too optimistic." Xu Changqing has saved a lot of foundation over the years. Now that the situation is so grand, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it. ”

"It's better if you can't help it!"

Duoduo sneered: "As long as Xu Changqing dares to stretch out his claws, we will arrest him!" Let the people of Nanjing and Jiangnan think about it! ”

Zilharan nodded, "Regent, you don't need to worry too much. At least for now, it's still under our control. Xu Changqing will definitely send troops, now, it depends on when he will send troops! As long as these Han slaves can kill Xu Changqing, even if it is just surrounding Xu Changqing and not letting him mess around, it will be worth it for us! ”

Dorgon nodded slowly: "That's what it means, but no one can afford to slack off." That's all for this morning. Tomorrow we will continue. Let's go and see the squires first. Fifteen, put away your temper, this is all our capital. ”

Duoduo also relaxed and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry." Even if these squires slapped me in the face, I wouldn't fight back. ”

……

Haicheng.

The mobilization order has been opened, and the whole of Shandong is like a huge machine, running rapidly, and Xu Changqing's secret report requesting the reopening of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has also been sent to Nanjing.

To a certain extent, Xu Changqing chose to reopen the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies at this time, which was still a little Meng Lang, and even very risky.

After all, after the chaos began, this kind of victory in Goryeo was no longer a victory, and the model army had not officially intervened in the frontal battlefield, let alone achieved a victory.

If you are not careful, the big hat of the 'national thief' will be buckled.

But Xu Changqing had to do it!

Because chaos is about to appear, the world will be in chaos, Xu Changqing must obtain the supreme command of the world's military as soon as possible!

Otherwise, as this chaos continues to deepen, the water will inevitably become more and more muddy, and when the time comes, Xu Changqing will not be able to speak clearly, so it is better to cut through the mess quickly, settle things down first, and cook raw rice into mature rice.

At that time, even if there are no more changes, no more trolls, Xu Changqing has this fair and honest name in hand, and there is room for dilemma.

inner study.

All kinds of battle reports are like assembly lines, and every once in a while, they will send one to report on the situation on the battlefield.

In fact, you don't need to look at this information, Xu Changqing also knows that in the Jiangbei region, except for Fengyang and Yangzhou City, which have been lost, they have some combat effectiveness, and other places are basically given for nothing.

Even if it is a land of one place, how can it be the opponent of at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others, who are only two or three thousand, or at most four or five thousand?

Not to mention, who hasn't had some relatives and friends over the years? This kind of internal and external cooperation is not something that such a small place can compete with at all.

Now, Fengyang has been lost, and the only city that can have the strength to fight and have a wide range of effectiveness is Yangzhou.

Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others also had a tacit understanding at this time, but they just picked up the soft persimmons first

pinched, towards Yangzhou to form a coalition of the situation, and did not rush to attack Yangzhou.

It seems that they are also waiting for the action of the model army.

One ant is indeed nothing, but what about ten, hundreds, tens of millions?

As long as the quantity is large, quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change.

That equivalent force, even Xu Changqing can't bear it.

Moreover, the most critical problem is that the Qing army relied on Yangzhou City to put out this big pocket at this time, just to put Xu Changqing in.

Even if they besiege but do not attack, but only stuck with the model army, for them, it is already a huge victory.

As a result, it is very likely that the model army must take the initiative to find a chance to break the game!

"What the fuck, it's really an old sow wearing a bra, one set and one wow!"

Xu Changqing let out a long breath, his eyes were cold.

The current situation is really a bit of a 'everyone is drunk and I am sober'.

However, no matter how difficult it is, as long as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is reopened, and the name of righteousness is down, Xu Changqing still has to go to Yangzhou to do it!

Yangzhou has become the most critical node at this time, which is directly related to the luck of both the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Even if he has to pay a big price, knowing that this is a pit, Xu Changqing has to jump in!

The only thing that made Xu Changqing happy was that the Shi Pavilion Department finally gave it a chance this time, at least, he knew that he would occupy Yangzhou first.

Otherwise, if it is changed to some other inland place, even if it is Jining and Qufu, it will be enough for Xu Changqing to feel uncomfortable.

After all, Yangzhou is backed by the river, and whether it is transporting troops or supplies, it is more advantageous for the model army.

It's just that I don't know what measures Wu Sangui and the others and the big masters of the Qing army will have in this regard......

Just as he was thinking about it, a maid suddenly reported from outside: "Master, Mrs. Donggu is here......"

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help patting his head hard, and hurriedly said, "Invite her in." Forget it, I'll go and ask for it personally. ”

As he spoke, he got up and went to greet Dongor in person.

He was a little busy and dizzy in the past few days when he came back, and he actually forgot about Dongor.

At this time, Dongor is a very critical core!

Outside the door, Dongguo was already raining, his eyes were a little unstoppably red and swollen, and he didn't know how long he had been crying, and when he saw Xu Changqing, he knelt on the ground, "Brother Xu, I'm sorry." I don't know, I don't know why things are like this, you, you divorce me......"

Seeing Dongguo's appearance, Xu Changqing couldn't stop regretting it in his heart, this damn thing, I knew it earlier, and I would go to see Dongor first.

Hurriedly strode over and picked her up directly, "Dongguo, what are you thinking about in your little head?" Your father is your father, you are you, how can you mix them up? ”

But Dong Gu just cried, heartbroken and did not speak.

Xu Changqing carried Dong Gu into the sofa in the inner study, and her tears had already wet the placket on Xu Changqing's chest.

Xu Changqing was busy trying all kinds of means, trying to coax her, but it didn't work at all, Dongguo's sadness was thorough.

This made Xu Changqing's heart a little uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he really feels sorry for Dongguo, and on the other hand, if Dongguo is in such a state, his plan will not be easy to go forward.

After a while, seeing that Dong Gu was still crying, as if he was about to lose the courage to live, Xu Changqing was also furious, "Blind than crying?" Is the sky falling or what? When the sky falls, I will keep an eye on you, brother, are you annoyed by crying? Cry again, cry again, Lao Tzu will do it for you now! ”

"Huh?"

Dong Gu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing, but actually stopped crying.

“……”

Xu Changqing also came back to his senses and stood on the spot.
