Chapter 1127 Plug in
The civil strife of the three kings in the four years of the Ming Dynasty's reign, the two strong enemies in the north, naturally will not turn a blind eye.
After so many years of fighting, the secret agents between the various forces have long been all over the other side's camp.
After Nanjing was defeated by the Ming army, a large part of the Manchu army and officials were stranded south of the Yangtze River, and many surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
Although Dolgon killed the family members of Tan Tai and others, most of the people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were not able to be punished by the Manchus.
These Manchu officials who defected to the Ming Dynasty also went to three aspects, some of them took refuge in the Nanjing court, and as the central court naturally audited more strictly, so most of this part broke off contact with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The other two parts surrendered to the two kings of Tang and Lu, and at that time, in order to snatch the fruits of the First World War in Nanjing, the two kings offered better conditions than the central court to attract these people to join them, so as to accept more territory, such as Xiao Qihui, who did not even move his official position, and continued to serve as the governor of Zhejiang, many of whom were appeased without being reviewed.
In this way, many crooked melons and cracked dates were appeased, and many of them still maintained contact with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In June, the Manchus sensed from various sources that internal strife might break out within the Southern Ming court.
Dolgon, who defeated Dzungar, was ambitious, and with the violent death of Dai Shan, the political pattern of the Manchu Qing Dynasty returned to his era of dictatorship.
Although Shunzhi's age was not young at this time, Dolgon did not allow others to get into his power, and the entire Qing Dynasty still had the final say, but in this way, it caused the dissatisfaction of Bumu Butai and some Manchu nobles.
However, Bumu Butai's strength was weak, and he could not compete with Dolgon in a short time, so the Qing Dynasty was almost a word.
Dolgon originally planned to send troops to Korea first and completely drive the Ming army into the sea, but when he heard the news that something big would happen inside the Southern Ming Dynasty, he immediately changed his mind and began to secretly increase his troops to the two important towns of Luoyang and Xuzhou, preparing to stab the Ming Dynasty.
Nanming civil strife, such an opportunity, if let it go in vain, is unforgivable.
Dolgon not only did it himself, but also sent Fan Wencheng to envoy to Jin again and invited Hauge to send troops with him.
I have to say that Dolgon didn't choose the right person this time, maybe he was purely trying to disgust Hauge.
When Emperor Haoge of the Dajin Kingdom saw Fan Wencheng, he couldn't wait to spit out this guy with a mouthful of old phlegm, and last time he listened to this guy's nonsense, which made him take a wrong step and fall into such a passive situation as now.
Last time, Fan Wencheng's motives were indeed impure, and he wanted Jin Guo to attract the firepower of the Ming Dynasty and let the Qing Dynasty take time to take a breath, but the Qing Dynasty was out of breath, but Jin Guo was beaten by the Ming Dynasty, which made Haoge almost die in Sichuan.
This time, Fan Wencheng came out of sincerity and invited Jin Guo to take action together, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was a good thing to cut the flesh on the Ming Dynasty together, but it was gathered by Haoge.
Dolgon asked Jin to send troops from Hanzhong, attack Shangyong, and attack Huguang with the Qing Dynasty, but even if Jin had the heart, he did not have the strength to provoke another big war.
Hauge rejected Dolgon's invitation, but he didn't do nothing, Jin Guo naturally wouldn't give up such a few meetings, Hauge set his sights on Qinghai, he wanted to drive the Ming forces there back to Sichuan.
Although Hauge declined Dolgon's invitation, Dolgon's interest was undiminished.
As more news came, especially when Wang Yan left Nanjing, there were many tricks for this yin goods, so he saw through Wang Yan's intentions at a glance, and he quickly concluded that there would inevitably be a civil strife in Nanming, and he immediately excitedly prepared to throw off his arms and do a big job.
Dolgon concluded from the information he got that Wang Yan, a slut, was going to play a trick, and he estimated that Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yulu were not opponents of this fight, but he couldn't remind the two, lest there be chaos, so he secretly increased his troops at the border, preparing to stab Wang Yan at a critical moment, lest Wang Yan win quickly in the infighting.
The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to enter the customs was mainly due to the internal struggle of the Han people, and if it were not for the internal struggle of the Han people, Jianyi would not have had the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.
The struggle between Ming and Shun gave the Manchus a chance to enter the customs, and Zuo Liangyu rebelled eastward, so that the Manchus almost took away the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Dolgon is very much looking forward to this civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, if this opportunity is used well, not to mention the capture of Nanjing again, at least it will be a heavy blow to Nanming, and let Nanming fall into a long-term internal strife.
Although King Lu categorically rejected Jin Shenghuan Lianqing's suggestion, Dolgon was doing such a thing.
In August of the fourth year of the reign, the Qing Shunzhi was ten years, and it has been ten years since the change of the Jiashen State.
Just when Wang Yan got the Qing army assembled in Luoyang and Xuzhou, ready to stab him, decided to quickly end the internal political struggle of the Ming Dynasty, and set out from Wuchang to prepare to close the net, Dolgon gathered more than 200,000 horses and horses, almost poured out the country, and a steady stream of troops set out from Beijing and Mongolia to attack the important towns of Nanyang and Huai'an.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty mobilized 10,000 Manchu Eight Banners, 30,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, 40,000 newly attached Mongol vassal soldiers, plus 130,000 Han Army Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, a total of more than 210,000 people, to attack Nanming in two directions.
Since the Battle of Yangzhou and the Azig Raid on Hubei two years ago, there has been no large-scale war between the Ming and the Manchus.
At the end of last year, the only major battle with a scale of more than 100,000 people ended in the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.
After more than two years of rest and recuperation, in addition to the fact that the Manchu Eight Banners really did not have a population replenishment and there was still a big difference, the shortages of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners were basically about to be replenished, and the Manchu Qing's combat strength recovered somewhat.
Although the soldiers and horses were mobilized, but the Manchu generals were very short, Dai Shan died of illness, Duo Duo did not know if he could survive, and Dolgon could not leave Beijing to go into battle in person, so that Dolgon had to use Han to command the battle in the future.
An army of 210,000 men, including the accompanying coats, Dorgon mobilized at least 300,000 men.
If in the past, more than 200,000 Qing troops were enough to tremble in the Ming Dynasty, now they must be at least twice as many as in order to make the Ming Dynasty feel fearful.
These more than 200,000 people look like a lot, but if you want to use the two directions of Huai'an and Nanyang, it seems a little thin.
Considering this, after analyzing the terrain, Dolgon decided that Ma Guanghui, the governor of Shandong, and Chang Adai, the king of the county, would lead 50,000 horses to feint to attack Huai'an to attract the attention of the Ming army in Huainan, and the remaining 160,000 horses would be handed over to the Liangshun king Kong Youde monk Kexi and the county king Wakda to take the important town of Nanyang and wait for the opportunity to capture Hubei.
Although Wang Yan had long expected that Dolgon's straight mother thief would not let go of this opportunity, he had already made preparations for the Ming army on the front line, but Dolgon's actions still put Wang Yan in a situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back and suffering from internal and external troubles.
