Chapter 129: Dodor's Determination

Hong Chengchou listened carefully to Huang Wu's report, and Huang Wu said lightly. Finally, he said: "There is still too little time to prepare, if you can prepare for a while longer, you will definitely be able to give Xia Jun a powerful one." Most of the ships of all kinds are civilian ships, which are far inferior to the battlefield, and the tacit cooperation of the personnel is not enough, if there are a few more months. It's even better. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "That's good. ”

After Hong Chengchou pacified Huang Wu and told him to rest well for the battle, he took a boat north, crossed the Yangtze River, and came to the camp of the Qing army.

Although at night, the Qing army camp was still brightly lit, and from a distance, it looked like a large area of flames, covering an area of several miles, and it was not in one place, divided into several camps.

This time, Duoduo's western expedition army almost gave up the entire Jiangnan, bringing the Eight Banners, the Han army, and the newly surrendered army of the Xia army, all of them, if you add the Azig department, the number is more than three or four hundred thousand, how can such an army be able to fit a camp.

Therefore, it became inevitable to camp separately and advance in several ways.

Hong Chengchou wanted to take a break and wait for dawn to report the matter. I don't want to find that the big tent of the Chinese army is still lit, and Duoduo has not rested. Naturally, I came to my door. Report the details of the battle to Dodor, and as for the general situation, Dodor already knew.

If Huang Wu is here, I'm afraid he will be shocked. Because many of the details that Hong Chengchou said were not told by Huang Wu.

I saw Hong Chengchou against Huang Wu, avoiding the important and light, and the tricks that flashed his words were well understood, but he just didn't want to debunk them.

"It's just a matter of giving Zhang Xuan a dismount." Dodor said. Duoduo was very pragmatic and did not have any hope that Huang Wu would be able to defeat the Xia Army's sailors. The reason why Duoduo was attacking the Xia army was to announce the existence of the Qing army's naval division.

Because of this kind of existence itself, it restrained many means of the Xia army, at least before the Qing army's Yangtze River water division was solved, the Xia army could not and did not dare to use the Yangtze River waterway freely, plus Duoduo's arrangements on both sides of the Yangtze River, which could offset the Xia army's right to control the river.

As soon as he thought of this, Duoduo asked Hong Chengchou: "Is the artillery to block the Yangtze River ready?" There are also barrages. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "It's all ready. ”

The Yangtze River is not a sea after all, and there are too many other reasons to intervene in the water war on the Yangtze River.

Even Duoduo put the main battlefield in the north of the Yangtze River, not necessarily without the factor of the Yangtze River, where there is no consideration of victory, first consider defeat, fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, it is needless to say victory, once defeated, crossing the river is a problem.

It's just that in the narrow places on both sides of the Yangtze River, artillery is arranged, and it is still a barrage of iron cables. These things need to be arranged as a whole,

There are not many Manchurian generals who are proficient in this, so this matter fell into the hands of Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou pondered a little and said: "Lord, the situation in Jiangnan is unstable, do you want to send a general of the national dynasty to stabilize the situation?" ”

Duoduo said: "There is no need to do this, everything depends on the key points, and the situation in the world, the key point is Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan is gone, and the rest are just the ashes of the fire, which is not enough to care." And Zhang Xuan doesn't go, I'm afraid that it will be protracted and won't be delayed, so the affairs of Jiangnan will be put aside for a while, but it is estimated that even if the situation in Jiangnan collapses, it will not collapse anywhere. ”

Hong Chengchou heard what Duoduo said, and said, "Why did the prince say this? ”

As Hong Chengchou said before, when Duoduo's army was in Nanjing, the situation in Jiangnan was quite stable, but as soon as Duoduo's army left Nanjing, the situation was a little stormy, and Jinhua City did not have to wait for Zhang Xuan's order, Xu Du raided the Qing army, broke Du Yonghe, and stuck Li Chengdong under Jinhua City, and it was impossible to even retreat.

Xu Du's hand can be said to be very beautiful.

The Qing army was restrained from staying in Jiangnan, and the largest army was contained.

Li Chengdong can't move, which has already made many people in Jiangnan think about it. But another news came, which made people think about it, that is, the Xia Army's Guangdong Navy Division and tens of thousands of foot soldiers came from Guangdong to join the Zheng army, and Zheng Chenggong went north again and garrisoned Zhoushan.

Although Zheng Chenggong was a lot more cautious, the last Northern Expedition also consumed a lot of Zheng Chenggong's popularity. Among them, it is not only Zheng Chenggong's popularity, but also the prestige of the Zheng family. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong came, although there was an undercurrent surging, there was no longer that kind of state of looking at the scenery.

But even so, Hong Chengchou had already decided that it was very dangerous, and the further he went, the more powerless the Qing military palace became, and even lost control of the situation, so he could only hide in the yamen, pretending not to know anything.

In some places, the beacon fire has already been lit.

"Han people, we always say that we are afraid of power and not bad morality." Duoduo sneered and said, "I have ordered that anyone who loses the Jiangnan city again, once the army turns back, will take over the slaughter of the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left in the city." As long as this battle is won, they will be honest, even if they lose several cities, it will not hurt. ”

As for what will happen if the battle is lost, naturally there is no need to go into details, is it possible that the decisive battle here is defeated, and the Qing army can still keep Jiangnan? ”

After Hong Chengchou heard this, his heart was cold, but he had to admit that Duoduo's decision-making was actually very wise.

How to kill people is actually a doorway.

Although Confucian scholars say that the benevolent are invincible, are the benevolent really invincible? No one can say for sure.

But now, it is just Zhang Xuan and Zheng Chenggong who are all flaunting to save the people from fire and water, and they have never slaughtered the city. On top of strict military discipline, Zheng Chenggong may be better

It's not like Zhang Xuan, but it's almost the same, even if some people are restless, it's just for money, and they won't kill.

And the Qing army has already proved one thing with the lives of countless people, that is, the Qing army really kills people without blinking. No matter how many people you kill, you can do it.

The Jiangnan gentry had to weigh one thing, if they kept a wait-and-see in the battle of Anqing, even if they offended the Xia army, they would only kill a few people, only ask about the first evil, and never ask about it. Voted for the Xia army, if the Qing army turned around, it would be a disaster for the people of the whole city.

Cao Ying entered the south of the Yangtze River, and there were not many people who were really loyal to the Ming Dynasty, suicide by suicide, and death by war. The rest of the people are refined and self-interested people. As long as Cao Ying does not infringe on their interests, they are willing to cooperate with Cao Ying.

The Qing army entered the south of the Yangtze River and fought twice repeatedly, and it will be loyal to Confucianism and Taoism. Bloody men who are loyal to their own interests have almost been killed. The rest of the people are all wise people who are willing to do anything in order to survive in the troubled times.

These people are faced with such a choice. Selected option. Hong Chengchou can guess with his toes.

Anyway, someone is on top, that is, those Manchu officials. Most of these hands are stained with blood, and many of them are still the blood of the Zheng family, so they naturally refuse to surrender, and if they surrender, they will inevitably die. Even if the Qing army lost, it would not be too late to tie up these Manchu officials and sacrifice the city.

All morality in the world is meant to be broken.

It has always been like this, bad money eliminates good money, there is no bottom line, and what has a bottom line is eliminated.

Hong Chengchou analyzed the logic, and looked at Duoduo with a little different eyes. Who said that the Manchu generals were vulgar people, and their ability to figure out people's hearts was not comparable to ordinary people.

"I don't know who is really fearful and not virtuous." Duoduo sneered: "Jiangnan is just a rat. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The prince is wise, and the officials admire him so much. ”

Hong Chengchou not only admires Duoduo's thoughts, but also admires Duoduo's daring to act. Although this seems to be inhumane, at this time, in the eyes of soldiers, it may not be a good move. On the battlefield, morality always gives way to victory.

The Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese may not have had such intentions.

But some are scared, some are not. The so-called time and poverty festival is to see, among the Donglin Party in the south of the Yangtze River, there may not be no impassioned, promising the community, and unswerving people, but they are all dead, and what is left is only the gallless rats.

Duoduo said: "Mr. Hong said this, there is nothing but a fool's gain, if you do more such things, you will naturally have experience, and there is no big deal, but there is Mr. Lao on the Yangtze River." During the war, I hope that the Xia Army's naval division will not be able to cross east of Anqing. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Xia Guan understands. Do your best. ”
