Outside Jinan, Zheng Zhilong received the news of the first defeat of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition, and saw the specific information about the Battle of Handan sent by the Black Ice Platform, Zheng Zhilong did not shout and kill the gentry in Handan at the first time, but Xu Er'an's stupidity and arrogance made him speechless.

And Xu Dingguo, who used this kind of goods as a pioneer, was not only stupid, but also gave birth to a stupid son.

The first defeat of the Ming army's Northern Expedition was still so speechless, which not only defeated the momentum of the Ming army, but also reflected the fact that the gentry in the north had a huge gap with the Ming Dynasty.

The behavior of the Gentry and the common people of Handan is a prime example.

There were so many Qing soldiers hiding in the city, Xu Er'an didn't realize that it was his stupidity, but no one signaled to Xu Er'an from beginning to end, that is, the citizens of Handan and Zhu Ming's detachment.

Zheng Zhilong felt very much, this Northern Expedition, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that he did the Tartars a great favor.

Although in a sense, this divine assist also has Zheng Zhilong's indirect assist!

Anyone who delves into the internal causes of the Handan incident will not miss Zheng Zhilong's reckoning note. Even if the Jinling Imperial Court is not conclusive at all.

But what if they saw it?

Will Zheng Zhilong still be afraid?

He didn't care at all.

On the contrary, I am very curious, is this a city like Handan just one case at the moment, or will it become a prairie fire?

Although the war in Beizhili has nothing to do with him for the time being, Zheng Zhilong is now 'single-minded' to deal with Haoge outside Jinan City!

After Prince Hao fled back from Qingzhou, he rushed all the way to Jinan. Zu Kefa also hurriedly led the troops to retreat, so that the two soldiers and horses converged with Wang Aoyong's department in Jinan City, and the total strength became forty or fifty thousand people.

Having learned the lessons of the previous war, Haoge drove the Qilu Green Banner soldiers to camp around Jinan City, and then supported them with the Eight Banners in the center. Not to mention that Zheng Zhilong didn't know how long it would take him to solve Haoge, and even if he could solve Haoge in time, he was not ready to go north.

It is clearly said that it is to consolidate Qilu and sweep away the blood; The secret saying is that Emperor Chongzhen didn't take him to play with him at all, so he is still obedient and interesting. But in reality? That is because I think that the Ming army will capsize sooner or later, and I can save a lot of trouble by hiding a little farther away.

lest when the Ming army was defeated, he was pulled up by the Jinling courtiers to block the gun's hole, or he was scolded for not saving him.

was cursed by the literati and inkmen, and there was room to turn over.

Looking at Cao Cao and Qin Shi Huang in later generations, including Yonglaosi, are all examples, isn't that all of them whitewashed for the 'people'?

But if there is such a thing as seeing death and not saving it, it will be a stain that cannot be washed away.

Just like the murder of his wife Cao in Xuzhou, Qin Shi Huang's indiscriminate expropriation of people's power, and Yong Laosi's unkindness to his brothers. Zheng Zhilong believes that the dynasty he established will definitely be able to push China from the old historical track to a new peak, and he is the worst Zhu Yuanzhang second, if he is good, he can wash the 'Xuanwu Gate' like Li Er when he is alive.

So, don't look at him and don't care about Shilin scholars, but in a sense, he still cares a lot about 'posterity fame'!

There was a little risk, and he could avoid it.

What Hauge is doing now is wasting time. When Zheng Zhilong went north, he brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus Zheng Jun's troops in Denglai, as well as the Denglai Ming army led by Zeng Ying, with a total strength of more than 30,000.

It is to divide Jiang Zhe's department, and there are still troops left in Denglai and Qingzhou to clear the place, and Zheng Zhilong also has 20,000 soldiers in his hands.

In terms of military strength, the Qing army has an absolute advantage. It's a pity that there are only 8,000 Eight Banner soldiers left in Haoge's hands, and most of the 40,000 or 50,000 Qing troops are Green Banner soldiers with weak combat effectiveness.

Haoge didn't dare to set up a battle at all, and fought with Zheng Zhilong. His only purpose now is to stall for time.

Because his faith in the Manchus never wavered.

Emperor Chongzhen's million soldiers are not millions of Zheng troops, as far as the Ming troops they saw in the past, even if there are millions of people, what can they do?

Haoge believes that as long as the main forces of the Qing Dynasty in Shanxi are all transferred, they will inevitably wipe out the so-called million Ming troops like boiling water and snow!

When the time comes, the army will go south, and the southern barbarians who have eaten the Qing Dynasty will all have to spit it out, and they will completely withdraw from Jiangbei!

And he, Prince Su of the Great Qing Dynasty, now has the only purpose of stumbling in Zheng Zhilong's footsteps. Tie him to Qilu to death! Even if the whole Qilu is lost.

Nor can he be mixed in with the great battle that is about to begin.

Fortunately, the Nanban is still not in harmony within, and they are still pulling each other back on military affairs. God knows how happy he was when he got the latest military information sent by Wang Aoyong when he was in Qingzhou.

After the Ming army took Dongchang, it went all the way to the north and went all the way to the Ming Dynasty, and turned a blind eye to Jinan.

Hauge's heart immediately let go.

It seems that the news from the south is not wrong, and Emperor Chongzhen is very wary of Zheng Zhilong.

Ignoring the overall situation, he just wanted to make himself and Zheng Zhilong able to fight each other 'without distractions'......

The higher-ups of the Qing Dynasty were not of the same mind, and Haug cursed Dolgon's early death day and night. However, in military affairs, the cooperation between the two sides is quite tacit.

Although Dorgon was not a thing, he left the hard bones to Haug and transferred Dorg to eat meat. However, under the climate of the Ming army's large-scale Northern Expedition, the bottom line of the Manchu high-level for Qilu's situation was very low.

As long as Haoge can keep Zheng Zhilong in Qilu, he will throw Qilu clean, or kill all the soldiers and horses (green flag soldiers) in his hands, and he will have no fault.

Hauge's posture in Jinan is too thick. It's clear that it's going to be time-consuming.

called Zheng Zhilong to come over with some enlightenment. This Haoge's task is not to tie himself up, otherwise, after the defeat of Qingzhou, he shouldn't have led his troops and horses to withdraw to Beizhili?

So much so that he watched the Ming army enter Beizhili, completely cutting off the land connection between Yanjing and Jinan! They didn't panic yet, but set up a battle outside Jinan City.

Zheng Zhilong, at this time, if he still can't understand it, his brain will be full of water.

At the same time, he could also feel the full confidence in Hauge's heart - he didn't think that the Ming Army's Northern Expedition could win at all, right?

Now I just don't know if Hong Chengchou can see something from Haoge's abnormal behavior. As for Emperor Chongzhen of Jinling, as well as that group of ministers, Zheng Zhilong is not hopeless.

The current Jinling, that is singing and dancing, saliva is flying all over the sky. From the market to Shilin, and then to the court, there is no place to be quiet.

"Do you want to write to Hong Chengchou?"

"To write, or not to write?"

Zheng Zhilong is still hesitating.
