Chapter 218: The Scapegoat (Second Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
"Fan Wencheng?"
Luckard was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the perfect opportunity to clear himself.
Dolgon did send Fan Wencheng to assist Luckedhun on the expedition, but Fan Wencheng did not play his due role and failed to help Luckedhun defeat the Ming army.
In all fairness, Fan Wencheng did give a few good suggestions to Luckedhun, and also discouraged Luckedhun from marching rashly, but the final result was not ideal.
Now that Luck Dehun is facing the situation of being questioned by Duo Duo or even Dolgon, he naturally does not care about Fan Wencheng's contributions.
If all the blame is put on Fan Wencheng, Luckedhun's crime will be much lighter, and he may be reprimanded by the regent Dolgon at most, and he will not be punished substantively.
That's certainly what Luckedhun wants to see.
Fan Wencheng was the first minister to take refuge in the Manchurians, but in the final analysis, he was still a Han Chinese.
Compared with the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family, what is a Han person?
The only question was whether or not Dodor would help him fulfill his lie.
After all, Dodor was Dorgon's own brother, and if he had played the side drum by his side, it would have been much more likely that Luck would have cleared his name.
Luckedhun asked tentatively, "What does the prince mean?" ”
Duoduo glanced at Lecset fiercely, and said in his heart that this kid is really not a thing, and he was kind enough to help him, and he was still talking here.
"What do you mean by this king? What are the facts, is it not clear to Dorobelle himself? ”
Although Dordor did not give an explicit answer to Luckedhun, the sentence was already very clear. That's how things are interpreted, it's all up to Luckedhun. As long as Lecset Hun didn't say it too far, Dordor would believe it.
This attitude of Dordor greatly encouraged Luckedhun.
Thinking of the old story of Duoduo snatching Fan Wencheng's wife before, Lucketthun is enlightened.
As a Manchurian prince, Duoduo finally had to be pressured to return Fan Wencheng's wife, which was extremely embarrassing. Duoduo must have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Fan Wencheng, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
The nearly 2,000 armor soldiers lost were all elites of the two yellow banners.
As long as Luck Dehun puts the blame on Fan Wencheng, Duoduo will arrange for the families of these banner people to make such a fuss, and under pressure, even if the regent wants to protect Fan Wencheng, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep it.
Although Dolgon also admired Fan Wencheng, there was no need to offend the entire Zhenghuang and Yellow Flag because of a Han scholar.
What's more, he now relies more on Hong Chengchou, and the degree of attention has even surpassed that of Fan Wencheng.
Doesn't the Han people have a saying, once a son of heaven is a courtier.
Although the regent is not the Son of Heaven now, he is not much different from the Son of Heaven. Fan Wencheng was really valued when Huang Taiji was in power, and after Dolgon took power, he must make up his own team in order to establish his prestige. It's just because Fan Wencheng is really capable that he continues to entrust him with important tasks.
For Dolgon, Hong Chengchou must be protected, but Fan Wencheng is not.
Of course, Fan Wencheng is indeed old, and it's time to retire.
With his qualifications, even if he takes all the charges, he will not be executed, at most, he will be dismissed from his post and retired with peace of mind.
That's a pretty good result.
Luckedhun doesn't feel anything wrong, after all, it's the most important thing to pick yourself out. His career as a commander of the army has only just begun, and he must not be "put in the cold" by the regent at the beginning.
Lucke was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Yu, it is indeed this Fan Wencheng who has been instigating the minions to pursue the Ming thief, so he fell into an ambush. ”
Dodor frowned.
This Luck is so stupid that he won't even shirk responsibility.
Chen like him said lightly, it is hard to say whether Dorgon will let Fan Wencheng go, and Lucket himself does not want to pick it up.
"If you think about it again, Fan Wencheng is really just instigating you?"
Obedient and listening, Luck's eyes rolled and he understood what Duoduo meant.
He thinks that Fan Wencheng's crime is not big enough.
"Lord Wang, the slave remembered that Fan Wencheng was a thief who took the initiative to raise troops to chase after him, so he was ambushed."
Duoduo said that you still know something.
In this way, Luck Dehun is at most a negligence, and the charges can be pushed onto Fan Wencheng.
Duoduo had long seen that Fan Wencheng was not pleasing to the eye, and just took this opportunity to kick the old dog away.
......
......
Gao Jie led his army to the east after defeating Lekdehun again.
There was only one reason for his decision, and that was the return of the Duoduo class.
The scouts had already heard the news that the main force of the Qing army under the command of Duoduo had entered Beizhili from Henan, including Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's vassal soldiers.
Although Gao Jie is brave in battle, he is not a reckless man. He knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to go head-to-head with hundreds of thousands of Qing troops.
Anyway, the purpose of this Northern Expedition has been achieved, and it is most important to lead the army to evacuate in time.
The army marched all the way east, crossed Guangzong, Dongjiamiaobao, Qinghe, and crossed the Huanglu River into Shandong.
Shandong is now under the control of the Ming army, and entering Shandong means that the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Gao Jie is temporarily safe. Henan and North Zhili have been playing all the way down Gao Jie has been holding a string in his head, and now he can finally relax a little.
During the period of Gao Jie's Northern Expedition, the division of defense areas in Shandong also changed significantly.
In addition to Qin Gongming, who continued to lead his troops to garrison the Dezhou area, the area where the Ming army of the original Gao Jie Department was stationed was basically taken over by the Shence Army. In addition, the Son of Heaven also re-established Denglai Town and prepared to rebuild the Denglai Water Division.
It is not easy to digest so much news at once, so Gao Jie decided to take his time.
If nothing else, the tens of thousands of people under his command will definitely still be stationed in Shandong.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the Qing army takes Shanxi and Shaanxi, it only needs a little rest before turning around and attacking Shandong. It was impossible to defend Shandong by relying only on the Qin Gongming Department and the Shence Army, although the imperial court spent a lot of money to build a large number of fortresses in northern Shandong, but Gao Jie did not think that this thing would play a big role.
In the end, you have to do it with real swords and guns, so what's the point of just daring to shrink in the fortress and fire artillery? What is the difference between Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Chonghuan back then?
Besides, those fortresses are so small and extremely strange in shape, can they really withstand the onslaught of the Qing army?
You must know that transporting artillery from Beizhili to northern Shandong is much more convenient than transporting it to Tongguan in Shaanxi.
At that time, Kong Youde's red-coated cannon swung there, and those small fortresses couldn't last long.
Gao Jie was ready to mention such a sentence in the good news sent to the imperial court, asking the Son of Heaven to send another army to Shandong for his control. Since the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not as good as that of the Qing army, it can only rely on the number of people.
