"Li Zicheng is in the army, the main force is currently in Henan to Huguang, and the forward soldiers and horses have formed a pursuit trend in the rear guard of the Zuoliangyu department. The headquarters of Liang Guogong is currently divided into two routes. All the way to the front of the Jiangbei towns are the key points to inspect and review the soldiers and horses. At least one brigade of soldiers and horses from each town went there. On the other hand, Liang Guogong came in person, went upstream, and came to the Jiujiang area. The purpose is very simple, that is, to take advantage of the tacit understanding situation formed with Li Zicheng at present, and eliminate Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of horses in one fell swoop! ”

"Master, if we follow the opinions of Cao Beile and Luo Futai, no matter whether we hit Li Zicheng or Lu Mahong first, then we will be left with great trouble!"

Dugu Hanjiang is also a good headline party, every summary or forward-looking sentence is extremely gripping, extremely able to attract people's attention.

"Dugu, why do you say this?" Duoduo played the role of a book-listening crowd very well, and was guided by Dugu Hanjiang's ideas and topics.

"Master, the generals, you are all battle-hardened people, the slave wants to ask, if we choose the weakest Lumahong between the Marquis of Linqing on our left, Lu Zicheng, Li Zicheng, and Li Shouhan, the Liang Guogong between the Jianghuai and Jianghuai in the front, how many days do you estimate to be able to take Linyi, take Denglai, and clear the large land between Shandong, Denglai, and Jianghuai in one fell swoop?"

"At least half a year!" Cao Zhenyan thought for a moment, and with Duoduo's acquiescence, he took the lead in answering.

His answer was also nodded and approved by everyone present, including Hong Chengchou.

From the point of view of the Qing army, which was composed of a large number of Ming troops who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, marching, fighting, camping, and besieging cities all required a lot of manpower, material resources, and time costs to maintain. Defeating the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of Lumahong, taking a large area of land from Lunan to Denglai to Jianghuai, and conquering hundreds of cities, it was a bit bragging for half a year.

"Lord Wang, the minion is offended." Dugu Hanjiang took a command flag inlaid with a white flag of Manchuria and placed it on the ground north of Jianghuai on the map, "If our army has been entangled with Lu Mahong and Li Zicheng north of Jianghuai for a long time, then, during this time, it will be cheaper for Liang Guogong." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Dugu Hanjiang's words once again aroused the anger of the public. We did not avoid artillery fire, we were not afraid of life and death to fight, we defeated a large area of land and cities between Lunan and Jianghuai, and put millions of people under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty.

"If I use tens of thousands of horses and a few counties, prefectures, and cities to drag down hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty, and then use this time to reorganize the army, hoard grain and grass, and clean up the interior. Moreover, let's not forget, how much grain, grass, and salaries does our army have to consume in the past six months, how much gunpowder and equipment do we have to consume, and how many troops do we have to lose to take these cities? Speaking of which, wouldn't it have allowed Liang Guogong to take advantage of more than half a year by beating Lu Ma Hong first? ”

"You mean the battle of Hongdu between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang?" Hong Chengchou's face began to turn pale.

Dugu Hanjiang didn't think it was so far.

Readers who have read those things in the Ming Dynasty should still remember that Zhu Yuanzhang's most difficult battle on the road to seizing the emperor's throne was actually a big battle between Poyang Lake and Chen Youliang. (This point is even very clear in the Lu Ding Ji.) ）

Chen You forgave the soldiers of the whole country and went east to fight Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's main force was still tearing up Zhang Shicheng on the Eastern Front. For a while, it was difficult to deal with Chen Youliang in the west.

This year was leap March, and it was already April when Chen's army surrounded Hongdu. Some people may wonder: Why did Chen Jiajun choose Hongdu in the first battle, instead of taking advantage of the weakness to attack Yingtian?

According to the analysis of some books read by the unkind author, Chen Youliang chose such a route to march in order to be safe. The last time he attacked Yingtian, most of Jiangxi was still in his hands, and he had no worries, but now he only felt more sure if he took Hongdu first, and took the Poyang Lake area as a base, and then went east in an orderly manner. Of course, there are also factors that take into account the convenience of collecting grain and grass.

In addition, Hongdu is adjacent to Poyang Lake and is the heart of Jiangxi, which also happens to give full play to the power of Chen Jiajun's sailors. Anyway, in Chen Youliang's view: it is imperative and easy to take floods.

Hongdu is not far to the west of Poyang Lake, and there is a waterway (Ganjiang River) between it and Poyang Lake. As mentioned earlier, in view of the lessons learned from the loss of Taiping City, the riverside side of Hongdu City deliberately retreated thirty steps inward during the repair, so that the ships could not approach the city. Chen Youliang mobilized almost all of his forces this time, with a total strength of 600,000 troops. Although this figure is doubtful, it should be at least no less than 400,000 people, excluding family members and relevant attachés.

Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army besieged for 85 days, for three months, but failed to break through Hongdu City. Chen Youliang couldn't help but sigh: "Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce generals are like clouds, and there are military wizards like Zhu Wenzheng, if he can serve me, he will definitely be like a tiger!"

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared everything, commanded an army of 200,000, and sailed towards Hongdu. However, Chen Youliang's army was greatly consumed, sharpened and weakened in the Hongdu Siege, and was finally annihilated by Zhu Yuanzhang at Poyang Lake, and the Battle of Hongdu changed the entire situation in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty. Let the heavy starling stand out from the crowd and unify the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Hong Chengchou, who is familiar with the history books of the past dynasties and has almost led troops to all parts of the north of the Ming River, naturally understands the significance of the Hongdu Battle in the historical stage of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If a Hongdu city can hold down Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, then how long can hundreds of large and small cities between Lunan, Denglai, and Jianghuai hold down the Qing army?

Time does not belong to the Qing Dynasty!

"Lord Wang, General Dugu has a point." Hong Chengchou took the lead in coming out to give Dugu Hanjiang a platform.

"What does Mr. Hong think?" Duoduo also put away that anger and humbly asked Hong Chengchou questions. After entering the customs, Hong Chengchou is our leader. These were the words of Huang Taiji when he was alive, and Dolgon and the Duoduo brothers were very convinced of this. After entering the customs, Hong Chengchou's series of methods dazzled them, but the officials and generals who were looking down everywhere and brought the soldiers and horses of the people in the city also let them see the great use of the party leading the way.

"Lord Wang, the military intelligence report, at present, the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Liang are mainly in two directions. The first is to go up the river and attack Zuo Liangyu's troops and horses with Li Chuang's troops and horses. The second is to use several garrison brigades to go north and suppress the soldiers and horses of various towns in Jiangbei. If our army is confined to all parts of the Lunan Jianghuai River, and the competition with the Marquis of Linqing for one city and one place, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time and costly. It must be known that behind Mrs. Linqing Marquis is the entire Nanzhong, which can provide her with a steady stream of grain, grass and gunpowder, and even soldiers can be transported from the sea. Although our army does not lack elite soldiers and strong generals, the north of the Yellow River has suffered disasters for many years, and the grain harvest has failed, and it is not easy to collect military rations. ”

"If Liang Guogong uses this time to eliminate Zuo Liangyu in the west, and Jiangbei reorganizes the soldiers and horses of Liu Liangzuo and others, then the people of Donglin who are enemies of him in the court will be destitute and dare not confront them in the court. Liang Guogong was authoritarian in his hands, had abundant money and food, and rectified the soldiers and horses of the Ming State, with many soldiers and generals, and there was no more constraints. Rajah. Think about it, just the money, food, soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River are enough to compete with our army. ”

Duoduo's heart sank, and he looked at Hong Chengchou a little nervously: "Mr. Hong, is it like the state of the Han court after Cao Cao killed his uncle Dong Cheng and the abbot?" Or is it that Sima Yi carried out the Gaopingling Rebellion and seized Cao Shuang's military power, and then Wei was in charge of the Sima clan, and he Li Shouhan monopolized the power, and there was no one in the court to fight against him, so he could concentrate his whole energy to fight against my Qing Dynasty? ”

Duoduo, like other Manchurian relatives of the Eight Banners, most of his knowledge of the classic culture of the Central Plains comes from a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What he said, Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, and Sima Yi killed the Cao clan and seized the last power, all from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, as a relative of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Duoduo also saw a lot of bloody processes of internal power struggle for power and profit in the Eight Banners. Not long ago, he even participated in the operation to kill Prince Su Haoge.

However, the nobles of the Eight Banners have such a little benefit, internal discord and fighting is an internal matter, once something happens, they still use all their energy to fight the enemy. It's not like the Ming army at all, lest his political enemies make a contribution and put himself in a passive situation.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou nodded slowly, Duoduo also smiled slightly, forcibly suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and motioned for Dugu Hanjiang to continue.

"Master, the situation we face is like a vice. Lu Mahong and Li Zicheng on the east and west roads are the two heads of pliers, and Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guogong in the south of the Yangtze River, is the shaft of this vice. Whichever side you hit, you will be squeezed and bitten by this pliers, and finally he will be caught in the middle and squeezed to death. ”

"These three soldiers and horses seem to be two on the surface, but they are actually one. In Li Zicheng's army, weapons such as guns and artillery could not be produced by themselves, and grain, grass, gunpowder and projectiles were consumed enormously, and they all depended on Liang Guogong's waterways. This is one of the reasons why the two families worked together to kill Zuo Liangyu. In addition to weapons and ammunition, the Lumahong Department also relied on Li Shouhan's sea route for food, grass and military salaries. Therefore, the key to unifying the world is not how badly Li Zicheng and Lu Mahong are beaten and how much success they achieve. It's about whether you can defeat Li Shouhan, not to mention defeating him, but at least driving him out of Jiangnan, and driving him as far away from the Yangtze River as possible. Otherwise, even if you defeat Li Zicheng and Lu Mahong a hundred times, and with the support of Li Shouhan who spared no expense in giving them food, grass, military salaries, and equipment, they can regroup for the one hundred and first time. And as long as Li Shouhan is defeated, it only takes one time, and we can dominate the world. ”

The generals and officials present were quiet again. I have to admit that Dugu Hanjiang's analysis is much more clever than their strategic layout. However, it does not say how to act.

"Dugu Meller, Luo has something unclear, I hope to beg for advice."

"Lord Futai, please speak."

"If our army goes south to fight Li Shouhan, what should we do?"

This brings the strategic action plan to the level of the campaign plan. You said that we should go south to fight Li Shouhan and solve the strategic dilemma in World War I, so you say, how should we fight this war?

"Straight forward impact, a little thief, Sheyimeng, dedicated to Jinling." Dugu Hanjiang categorically said the fourteen-word policy.

"I want to hear about it."

"Actually, it's worthless. It is to follow the old road of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, regardless of Shandong, regardless of the cities along the way, and go straight to Jinling. It was in this way that he used this method to reverse the situation of being pressed and beaten by his nephew and son all the time. Otherwise, even Emperor Jianwen's subordinates are straw bales, but with the country's military and financial resources to deal with just one place in Beiping, it will cost him to death. Therefore, as long as we kill in the area of Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, we will basically win and not lose. ”

"!"

Everyone was listening with relish, ready to continue listening to Dugu Hanjiang. Suddenly, the Duoduo thunderstorm also let out a roar of rage, which immediately stirred people's spirits. I don't know what will happen to this prince, who has always had many labels such as tyrannical, brave, absurd, etc.

"I've been listening to your nonsense here for half a day! Stirred up the military aircraft event! Never mind! That's enough! You dog minions, get out of here! ”

Almost all of them were happy to see Dugu Hanjiang eat this deflated man. "The! Which one wants you to make this show! Accusing us of this is not this, that is not either! Are you the only capable person in the world? How about this, annoying the prince, right? Should! Now, we don't need to do it, the prince will take action for us and vent his anger! ”

Dugu Hanjiang's behavior today is just like the death and death in "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", using a sand table deduction at a military meeting to give his division commander and comrades a slap on the head, destroying everyone's confidence in one fell swoop, but it also attracted the most hatred to himself, all from his own people. Everyone looked at him with a strange look of resentment.

Dugu Hanjiang has an indifferent attitude, in his opinion, getting angry with this group of fools is a very damaging thing and losing face. Everyone is a minion, why should I have a good relationship with you fools? I just need to settle the master's mind, and I'll be alone.

So, he went back to his lodgings on his own, changed his clothes, washed his face, and asked his men to prepare the meal.

But what he didn't expect was that he had just washed his hands and face, and was about to eat, when there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the Duoduo Baga Lama Zhangjing personally led people to rush to his residence.

"The prince passed you over." There was no look of liking or dislike on his face, and on a round face, his muscles were tense, as if a knife could not cut in.

"My lord, didn't the master say anything?" Dugu Hanjiang can look at others above the top, and even look at them with his nostrils, and that's because many of these people are defeated by his subordinates. However, he was very polite to the Baya Laja Zhangjing in front of him. The reason is very simple. First, Baya Lajangjing is the closest person to Duoduo, and according to the Eight Banners system, he is also a person who can use the Golden Dragon Weaving, and his authority can be seen. Second, those who can hold this position are very capable of fighting. Although Dugu Hanjiang is very proud, he only looks down on those who are not as good as him. For those who have the ability, it is still very polite.

"I didn't say it. Hurry up! ”

None of his own soldiers were brought with him, and Dugu Hanjiang was almost dragged on the horse by a few Baya soldiers and came to the Zhou Palace. Along the way, Dugu Hanjiang couldn't stop muttering, saying that he wouldn't be able to play a cup here in Daqing, right? But since people let you go, you can't go there, so Dugu Hanjiang had no choice but to follow this Baya Lama Zhangjing to see Duoduo.

The nine sons of the dragon are different. Huang Taiji's residence often lists Central Plains classics such as "Hongwu Sermon", "Historical Records", and "Book of Han". These books were written by him after he built the Hongwen Academy, Ling Ning Wan and I were the president of the Hongwen Academy, Gao Hongzhong, Bao Chengxian, Fan Wencheng and others together to translate and compile the Hongwu Sermon Xiao Daming Hui Canon and the Ming classics, improve the system, and play an important role in the nationalization of the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon's residence is often the juxtaposition of books such as "The Art of War", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Water Margin" with armor and weapons, and there are income and expenditure account books hidden in the bookcase, so that he can keep track of the financial income and expenditure of the Qinai Mansion at any time.

At present, Duoduo's residence, which was renovated from the original bedroom of King Zhou, is in a different style.

The finest swords made of iron and steel, oiled, and polished by the coating, the bright breastplates, iron armor, and several firearms, of various lengths, were placed on wooden frames. On the wooden shelf, the ochre-red cowhide medicine cartridge belt was placed next to the fire gun in turn, and the bulging medicine bag made people swallow their saliva when they saw it.

"Good boy! Firecrackers, horseguns, short firecrackers, double-barreled horseguns, everything. This master is also a character! "If Dugu Hanjiang is allowed to see the few horsetail grenades under the wooden frame, I am afraid that he will be even more speechless.

In addition to these armor weapons and firearms, what surprised Dugu Hanjiang was the women who entered and exited Duoduo's dormitory. There are all kinds of women in and out of the big man's inner house, and this situation is normal in Dugu Hanjiang's opinion. Whether it is Luo Rucai, who has been dead for a long time, or Li Zicheng, who is now memorizing words, or the father and son of Liang Guogong, which one does not have all kinds of beauties to fill Chen? It's not normal to have none!

However, the taste of this mighty general, Prince Duoduo of Heshuo Yu, seems to be different from others.

Dugu Hanjiang has seen a lot of big people, whether it is Da Shun or the original Ming Dynasty, and later it is the Da Shun Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the blink of an eye. These people, including Dugu Hanjiang himself, the women in the house, no matter how they got them and bought them, most of them were young girls, at most they were newlywed young women.

However, most of the women who came and went in and out of the dormitory were women in their twenties. (Early marriage in the Ming Dynasty, women in their twenties can already be regarded as mature women.) There were a few more with beaded hair, and they looked to be in their thirties.

Regarding Duoduo's taste, Dugu Hanjiang didn't dare to comment more.
