(The second one, Nan Mingwen is really difficult to write, it takes hours to write a chapter, and I feel really exhausted every time I finish writing.) Weakly ask, is there still a recommendation ticket? Lao Kun needs encouragement! ）

"We ask to see the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Here comes the Tartars! We're going to see the Commander-in-Chief! ”

In front of the Dezhou General Military Mansion, Zhou Yuesheng, Zhao Fu and other craftsmen shouted.

The guard immediately drew his sword and reprimanded: "Whatever nonsense you talk about, if you disturb the morale of the army, you will be punished according to military law!" ”

Zhou Yuesheng subconsciously took a step back, shrunk his neck and said, "It's really a Tartar, we saw it with our own eyes." ”

"Yes, Master Jun, please give me a clear message."

The guard frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You wait here, I'll report to Lord Zongrong." ”

At this time, Qin Gongming was looking at a picture of the people, and heard the pro-soldiers say that a group of craftsmen gathered outside the General Soldier's Mansion, saying that the Tartars were coming.

Qin Gongming took a deep breath.

How did the Tartars suddenly appear near Texas?

He did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered his own soldiers to call in the principal of this group of craftsmen.

After a moment of work, Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu were both brought. When the two of them saw the chief soldier, they lowered their heads and didn't even dare to come out.

Qin Gongming waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said: "Lord Qiqi General Soldier, today I was working in the fort with a group of workers, and suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves, so I looked over and saw that there were many Tartar cavalry a hundred steps away. We were ready to put up a desperate resistance, but the Tartar cavalry would evacuate on their own initiative. ”

After Zhou Yuesheng finished speaking, he lowered his head again, and his hands were tied very respectfully.

Qin Gongming asked: "You said you saw the Tartar cavalry, how many people are there?" ”

"This..."

Zhou Yuesheng didn't know how to answer for a while. At that time, when he saw the Tartar coming, both legs were frightened, and he was in the mood to count the number of people.

However, he had the impression that there were not many cavalry of the Tartars.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Lord Rong, the villain saw that the Tartar cavalry was about one or twenty horses. ”

One or twenty horsemen, it seems that most of them are sentinel horses.

Qin Gongming paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, analyzing the reason why the Tartar sentinels appeared near Texas.

A month had passed since the Battle of Texas, and the captives in Beijing must have known the outcome for a long time.

With Dorgon's arrogant personality, he would not be able to tolerate such a fiasco, and would probably plan another raid on Texas.

Most of these sentry riders are here to step on the bottom of the bottom.

At the moment, the fortress complex has not been repaired, and the craftsmen who built the fortress are in a state of unprotected, which is very dangerous.

Qin Gongming decided to be cautious and sent some soldiers to defend next to these fortresses under construction, in case the Tatar cavalry attacked and captured the craftsmen from Nanjing.

These craftsmen are no ordinary craftsmen, they have the skills to build the fortress in their hands.

If the Tartar is captured, the characteristics of the fortress will be known to the Tartar in advance. Maybe the Tartars will come up with a way to deal with it.

Although Qin Gongming is not very optimistic about the fortress, he doesn't want the Tartars to see through this new fortress, so it's better to be careful.

"Go down and rest. From tomorrow onwards, I will send men to garrison the fortress you have built, and if the Tartars come to attack, they will not return! ”

Knowing that the chief soldier would send troops to protect him, Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu were both overjoyed.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief! Thank you, Mr. Chief! ”

Qin Gongming waved his hand, and the two of them consciously retreated.

What exactly does the Tartar want to do?

Qin Gongming let out a long sigh.

"Come on, prepare pen and ink!"

...

"Lord Wang, as far as the slaves know, Jiang Jiu in Shanxi is just a wall grass. As long as the army of the Eight Banners arrives, he will definitely open the city and surrender. ”

Fan Wencheng patiently analyzed the situation in Shanxi for Dolgon.

"Before, the prince wrote to Jiang Huang, and Jiang Huang replied respectfully, although he did not ask for surrender, but he also vaguely expressed the intention of serving the Qing Dynasty."

"Hmph, these southerners are more cunning than the other. If he really wanted to surrender, why didn't he take the initiative to donate the city? ”

Dolgon was very dissatisfied with Jiang Jiu's behavior of betting on both ends.

If the situation is so clear today, the Qing Dynasty has the potential to determine the world, can't this Jiang Hao even see this clearly?

No wonder Dorgon was so angry.

Shanxi's threat to Gyeonggi is too great. If he couldn't take Shanxi, Dolgon couldn't raise troops south without scruples to clean up the remnants. Because if Shanxi's Shun army suddenly killed Gyeonggi, he would not have time to transfer troops to rescue.

"Lord Wang, Jiang Hao can't be reused, but he can't be used. The prince might as well promise to be a high-ranking official first, wait until Datong arrives, and then give him an idle position. ”

Fan Wencheng, as a first-class servant who defected to Nurhachi, knew the character of the Manchurians very well.

They have always been very wary of the Han Chinese. Civilian officials are just fine, but the generals with heavy troops are like thieves.

Jiang Jiu was originally a Ming general, and Li Zicheng did not hesitate to surrender as soon as he came.

Seeing that the situation was reversed, he killed the Shun general and rebelled, which really didn't dare to be believed.

But if he didn't promise Jiang Hao's high-ranking official Houlu, this person would definitely not be willing to sacrifice the city, so Dolgon would have to send the Eight Banners Army to attack the city.

Although Datong can be won in the end, there will definitely be losses.

This is what Dorgon does not want to see.

The total number of Eight Banners disciples is less than 100,000, which is very expensive, and if one dies or one less, how can it be wasted at will.

Just do what Fan Wencheng said. It's a big deal, after Datong arrives, he will turn his face and not recognize people.

At that time, the entire Datong was taken over by the Qing army, and Jiang Jiu did not dare to make a mistake.

"As long as Datong is in hand, the entire northern part of Shanxi will be firmly in the hands of the prince. At that time, the prince only needs to concentrate his forces to besiege Taiyuan. ”

Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon's face had improved, and said very appropriately.

"Taiyuan is not easy to fight!"

Dolgon sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid I have to transfer Kong Youde and wait for the Han army to take the lead." ”

Fan Wencheng nodded: "The prince is wise." The Han army such as King Sanshun had a lot of red-coated cannons, which were indeed a sharp weapon for attacking the city. Although the city of Taiyuan was strong, it could not withstand several rounds of shelling. However, Taiyuan is Li Zicheng's henchman, and he will definitely defend to the end. The slave suggested that the prince give an order to order the army to slaughter the city after the city was broken, so as to deter Xiaoxiao, and also give a warning to later generations, telling them the fate of resisting the Qing Iron Cavalry! ”

Fan Wencheng's words can be regarded as speaking to Dorgon's heart.

The Manchurians have few people, and they must rely on high-pressure rule by small clans.

This was especially true after the city was destroyed.

Anyone who did not take the initiative to sacrifice the city would be slaughtered after the city was broken.

The first is to let the children of the Eight Banners have an opportunity to rob and commit adultery in an open and honest manner, and the second is to make an example of the monkeys, so that those wavering guards can take the initiative to open the door and surrender, so that the Qing army can take more cities without blood.

"Okay, just do what Mr. Fan says!"
