766 melancholy
After asking about the situation and retiring the messenger, the two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, were shocked and relatively speechless.
The two of them couldn't have imagined that in just a few months, so many things had happened in Liaodong. How could the Ming army be strong all of a sudden, and seized the cities of the Qing Dynasty one after another, but Huang Taiji, who had always been wise and martial before, was at a loss!
"Brother, what should we do?" Duoduo opened his mouth first and asked, "Why don't I personally lead the army to encircle and suppress that damn Lu Xiangsheng?" ”
Dorgon listened, and looked up at him. I understand that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to perform and fight for the opportunity to atone for his sins. After all, the responsibility for his defeat has not been liquidated, and it has been dragged there.
Sighing in his heart, Dolgon looked at Duoduo and asked, "Do you think that if you lead the army to the battle, then Lu Xiangsheng will definitely be exterminated by you?" Liaodong has to let us send troops from far away in North Korea, which shows that the encirclement and suppression of Lu Xiangsheng over there is very uncertain, do you understand? ”
"But ......" Duoduo wanted to defend himself, he had always been a little resentful of the previous defeat, and he was really a little unconvinced. He believed that the fundamental reason for the previous defeat was that he did not know the true situation of the Ming army, and he was dragged down by food. Otherwise, he may not be able to beat Lu Xiangsheng.
Dorgon didn't give Dorgon a chance to speak, because he felt that it was unnecessary, so he immediately interrupted Dodor and said, "Even if you take a step back, you are really lucky to have made you a meritorious service, and you have captured or defeated Lu Xiangsheng." Whether he can let you go or not depends on him, not whether you have made a contribution or not! Why don't you understand the truth in this? ”
When Duoduo heard this, he still couldn't understand it, and felt that Dolgon's speech was a bit alarmist, so he sped up his speech and quickly expressed his opinion: "Brother, now that Liaodong is at war and is employing people, how can Huang Taiji mess with me at this time?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Dolgon became angry, and when he slapped the case, he shouted, "Are you stupid? It's because of today's Liaodong that it's like that ghost, do you think Huang Taiji will take the responsibility off by himself? Do you believe that he put all the blame on you, saying that your previous defeat and defeat led to the current situation, and that you are worthy of your clan if you don't kill you? ”
"How could it be my ......" Dordo was shocked when he heard this!
Dolgon hated iron a little, and his younger brother was a bit talented in fighting, but he was too mentally retarded for this kind of political struggle. He tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and patiently explained: "If you don't lose the battle and the grain is transported back to Liaodong, what do you think will happen?" Let me tell you, nine out of ten of the food of the Ming army in the two places was taken from you. Do you know how much strength the grain between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom will affect between a decrease and an increase? ”
Hearing this, Dodor finally didn't dare to tell anymore.
When Dorgon saw it, he felt that because Dorgon was still young, he as an older brother should be more tolerant. So, his tone softened a little, and he spoke again: "Also, even if you want to send troops, but what about the food, the army will not have enough to eat when it goes out, where will the strength come from to fight, and where will the food come from?" ”
There is also no food on the North Korean side, but it is also due to the strength of Jianlu, and even the troops are distributed to every household in Seoul, as long as these families have fire and cooking, then they must be indispensable Jianyu soldiers. If you eat secretly, will you survive by starving? The consequence of this is that the door is full of cuts, and you will not be polite. As a result, these families who had food in the city had to feed more prisoners.
As for the starvation of people in the city, there are also things, but it has nothing to do with Jianyu. Unless all the Koreans are dead, they may starve Jianyu.
But if you want to lead the troops into battle, you won't be able to collect the rations you carry. It was really the last time that Duoduo was too oppressive, and he scavenged all the grain in North Korea. It's just that no one expected that in the end, it was the Ming army that was cheapened.
Hearing this, Duoduo completely dispelled the idea of leading his troops to the battle.
Seeing that he had persuaded his brother, Dorgon stopped talking, but bowed his head in contemplation, and after a while, he suddenly sighed heavily.
"Brother, don't worry, it's a big deal and I won't go back to Liaodong, did Huang Taiji send troops to North Korea to arrest me!" Thinking that Dorgon was sighing for his future, Dorgon relieved with a somewhat indifferent expression.
After such a long time, Huang Taiji didn't send anyone to arrest him back, which gave him confidence in his heart, knowing that he was protected by Dorgon, and Huang Taiji would not do anything to him for a while!
Who knew that Dolgon heard the sound and looked up at him, but he shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is not this, but the situation in Liaodong!" ”
"The situation in Liaodong?" Duoduo listened a little puzzled, what was there to worry about, and it was not his brothers' business!
Dolgon's face was heavy, and he frowned and said slowly: "The Ming army on the side of Gaizhou, inferred from the time and place, is likely to be the Ming army that appeared in Jinpu Town. The elite of this Ming army is estimated to be even more elite than the Guanning army. Suddenly attacked and captured Gaizhou. The so-called those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. He drove the expedition in person, and I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Gaizhou! ”
Lost the first battle, but the result is unknown, Duoduo didn't think much about it before, and when he heard Dorgon's analysis, he couldn't help but be silent, and he frowned and thought about it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Dolgon didn't care, and continued to say according to his own train of thought: "The siege of the city is not my Qing Dynasty's strength, as long as it can't be attacked, it will be consumed, and our Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to afford it." The battle in Gaizhou, the most beneficial thing for our Qing Dynasty is a quick victory! But...... Alas......"
The rest of the words could not be continued, and Dolgon realized that the situation in the Qing Dynasty had reached a crisis situation that he had never encountered before. Although he was happy that Huang Taiji was hit, he did not want the Qing Dynasty's national strength to be lost.
The brothers were relatively speechless, and their mood was very low because of the war in Liaodong. In the words of the messenger to them, they did not reveal the dirty relationship between the Jianlu and the Mongols, otherwise, they would only be more worried!
The next day, Dolgon wrote a letter of explanation, saying that he could not send troops because of the lack of food, and then sent someone to send it to Liaodong. At the same time, he also explained that he knew some about the affairs in Liaodong and returned to North Korea.
Watching the messenger hurry away, the brothers were silent. Looking up at the sky, Dorgon sighed: "God is not beautiful, it looks like it is going to snow!" ”
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Ming Guojingshi, thinking in his heart that it was almost the New Year, he was very happy, right?
Both of them were a little depressed, but as soon as they got back, a guard outside rushed in with a happy face.
