Chapter 938: Delivering the Message
Ding Qirui saw someone coming in, hurriedly closed the door, and then said to the visitor: "Today, Dolgon summoned people to discuss politics and discuss the retreat, and Feng Quan suggested that the green battalion soldiers of Beizhili be handed over to Nanming. I think this is too important, so I'll let you know. ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man, a miscellaneous servant in Ding Qirui's family, his eyes were bright, and after listening to Ding Qirui's words, he asked, "Does Dolgon agree?" ”
Ding Qirui nodded, "I agreed, but he was going to ask Nan Ming for some food and supplies." Saying that, Ding Qirui said worriedly: "Wang Duwei, if the Qing army in the north of Zhili defects to the Southern Ming, I am afraid that when the Great Wei attacks, I am afraid that it will be resisted!" ”
Most of the core secrets of the Manchu Qing were in the hands of the Manchus, and it was difficult for the Manchus to defect to the Wei State, so if the Wei State wanted to obtain the secrets of the Manchu high-level, it could only find those Han people who could access the secrets, but this kind of Han people were not easy to find, they could be counted on their fingers, and most of them were hardcore traitors, so it was very difficult to do the intelligence of the Wei army.
After Ding Qiguang defected to the Wei State, Xuan Yiwei found out during the political review that his relationship with Ding Qirui and Ding Kuichu could be used, so he reported it.
It just so happened that at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to ease the relationship with the Southern Ming, and a group of veteran traitors such as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan I died tragically and were captured, and a group of Han people with connections in the south were activated.
After Xuan Yiwei found out about this, he got in touch with Ding Qirui through Ding Qiguang's relationship.
At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already in decline, and Ding Qirui's earlier experience made him not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty, so he soon secretly took refuge in Wei.
Xuan Yiwei sent Wang Dana to Beijing as a distant relative of Ding Qirui, and was specifically responsible for delivering key news.
Wang Dana nodded when he heard this, and thought, "There must be an impact, but it's not a big deal, the Ming army and Beizhi are still separated from Shandong, and without the reinforcements of the Ming army, they are still vulnerable." These people are very shrewd, some of them have already been in contact with Great Wei, there is nothing substantial, they can't fight to the death with Great Wei because of an order. ”
At this time, Ding Qirui remembered something and hurriedly said: "Du Wei can't be taken lightly, today I also found out a piece of news, Feng Quan said that the army will sail to take over Beijing." As soon as the Ming army arrived, Dolgon would withdraw from Beijing, and the state capitals of Beizhili and the green battalions on the front line would announce the change of banner and return to the Ming at the same time! ”
Wang Dana's brows furrowed, "This is true, can you be sure?" ”
If a Ming army entered Beijing, the situation would be completely different, and it must be taken seriously.
Wang Dana's eyes were blazing, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing!" Ding Qirui said with a straight face: "I thought that this matter, Du Wei should report it to the King of Wei as soon as possible, if the Ming army is allowed to take the lead, Great Wei will be passive." ”
Ding Qirui was a person who had been the governor of the three sides, and he knew that if the Ming army accepted Beijing first, and at the same time the Qing army in Beizhili declared its allegiance, the Wei army would be politically passive.
Wang Dana pondered for a moment and nodded, "This is indeed an important piece of information, but Sir still needs to find out the time of the Ming army's voyage and find out Dorgon's plan to retreat!" ”

Luoyang, inside the palace.
"King, Ma Shiying's 100,000 soldiers and horses went north and surrounded Liu Heizi!"
Gao Yihuan received the urgent report from Chen Mingxia's hand, which was sent from Xuzhou and only took three days to send it to Luoyang.
"King, Zhu Cihong can't hold his breath, he wants to do it first!" Chen Mingxia smiled.
Gao Yihuan hurriedly read Liu Heizi's urgent report, in which he hoped that Gao Yihuan could be rescued as soon as possible, claiming that the Ming army was very powerful.
Gao Yihuan said with a smile: "Liu Heizi is the person of the Lone King, Zhu Cihong knows very well, he saw that Liu Heizi became bigger and cut off the road for the Ming army to go north, thinking that the Lone King would send troops to collect the north, so he couldn't hold his breath." ”
Chen Mingxia nodded and pondered: "King, Xuzhou is besieged, and the passage for the Ming army to go north has been half opened. According to the news sent by Xuan Yiwei, it seems that an agreement has been reached between Zhu Cihong and Dolgon, and there will be many dreams at night, should we do it? ”
The scouts of Xuanyiwei found signs of large-scale mobilization of soldiers, horses, and warships in Nanjing. The Ming army attacked Xuzhou to destroy Liu Heizi and open the passage to the north, which should only be the first step, and Zhu Cihong must have follow-up actions.
Gao Yihuan walked to the sand table, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked in a deep voice, "How is the deployment of the army?" ”
Chen Mingxia walked over, "According to the plan sent by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, in this battle, 80,000 people will be left to garrison Huguang to defend Wuchang Huang Degong, 40,000 people will be stationed in Sichuan and Shu to monitor Sun Kewang, 30,000 people will be stationed in Jinzhou to defend Haoge, and 350,000 troops will be left, 100,000 will remain in various places to maintain local stability, and 200,000 people will be left to cut down Qing." ”
Gao Yihuan smiled slightly, "Isn't this a knife used to kill chickens!" ”
Chen Mingxia said: "To deal with the 167,000 people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is true that there are not so many people, but if you count the 100,000 Ming army, it is just right." ”
Saying that, Chen Mingxia continued: "According to the plan, the military department has mobilized 50,000 troops to Xuanfu, and the Tiger Governor will attack Beizhi from the direction of Juyong Pass to force Dolgon to withdraw from Beijing. When Dolgon withdrew, the 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed at Guguan would be led by Zhao Daxian and Zhao Dudu, and they would go out of the well to intercept and kill Dolgon. At the same time, the king will lead an army of 100,000 to cross the Yellow River from Henan and invade Shandong. ”
Gao Yihuan nodded, "With such an arrangement, it is not difficult to wipe out the Qing army." Are all the equipment, food and grass ready? ”
Chen Mingxia said: "The equipment has been prepared, and the grain and grass are still a little worse, mainly because there is no canal, and the transportation is more difficult!" ”
Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "King Lone is giving the cabinet a month, and he must send troops at the end of August!" ”
"Command!" Chen Mingxia bowed.

In the city of Beijing, Dolroll convened personnel to discuss the retreat for several days, and urged the Ming army to come quickly to hand over.
The sailors of the Ming army sailed to sail, and the voyage had to sail according to the monsoon, and it was necessary to take advantage of the southeast monsoon to blow the ship to the north by the force of the wind, and once the weather turned cool and the north wind blew, it was difficult for the ship to reach its destination.
At this time, it was already July, and it was very likely that the Ming army's naval division had already set out, and was even about to enter the Bohai Sea, so it was necessary to report to the king of Wei immediately.
In Ding Qirui's mansion, he handed over a set of armor of the Eight Banners to Wang Dana, and gave him a waist card and customs clearance documents, and said with a nervous expression: "Wang Duwei, going out from Beicheng and Xicheng is too conspicuous, you take these things, go out to Nancheng, and when you meet the check, you say that you are going to Shandong to spread the news!" ”
