"Great victory, great victory, great victory!"

The knight wearing the fiery red armor and cloak is conspicuous enough, coupled with the red horse that stepped down, and the red flag waving in his hand, which made his whole person like a galloping fire.

"I heard that Texas won a big battle."

"It's amazing, the field battle has won the Dongyu army."

"No wonder it's like this, in the past few decades, the country has been defending the city and winning a great victory in the field, this is the first time."

"I am expected to prosper, and the crown prince Chitose is really admirable."

As the messenger passed, the onlookers also began to talk again.

This messenger is already the fifth to pluck, in the middle of last night, there are messengers who keep coming to report the news, dialing one after another, and the movement is really very big.

Who is there no one in Qingjiang within a radius of dozens of miles now?

Even the owner of the restaurant is not an ordinary person, most of them are displaced from the north, doing some small business to supplement the family, and there are many fewer illiterate rough people than before, and most of the foreign population is still a person who dared to break into the city at that time, so there are many people who are literate and know the affairs of the court.

Since the middle of the night, there have been angry horses galloping past, and at the same time shouting loudly to report the sound of victory, and the people who have been woken up have been excited after knowing the inside story, and they are all talking and laughing in groups.

After all, now that the peasant army has been driven to northern Shaanxi by the Qing army, the original conclusion that Li Zicheng is the biggest threat in people's minds has been replaced by the Qing army under the unremitting propaganda of the Qingjiang Xingying Information Department.

People have long been shocked that Donglu is not that small tribe for a long time, but a big country with the entire Guanwai and Mongolia, a large country with a territory of thousands of miles, is a powerful new force of foreign races, in addition to Dongyu's own strength, it also unites with Mongolia that has always been a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, and is ambitious, trying to enslave the Han people again, and reorganize the Han people into slaves to oppress!

Under this kind of propaganda, the Qing army has occupied Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and other places, obviously has no intention of withdrawing from the Guanwai, this kind of real threat without deliberate propaganda, few people understand, in fact, in history when the Qing army has entered northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying and others are still fantasizing about borrowing the capture of thieves, fantasizing about dividing the river with the Qing Dynasty and ruling the river.

It's not that they don't know the strength of the Qing army, but it is precisely because they know it too well that their biggest fantasy is that they can use the geographical advantages of the south to block the iron cavalry of the alien race in the north.

Of course, this is a dream!

This idea is also severely refuted by the Department of Information, starting from the Yuan Jiandu, the situation in the north has been different from before the Tang Dynasty, the rice in the south has to be transported to the north non-stop, the Yuan Chonghai Cao, a year is also more than one million stones of grain, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the rice transported to Beijing a year is four million stones!

Without the economic circulation and food supply of the South, the North would simply not be able to stand on its own feet, and there would be no financial and material resources to maintain a huge capital of one million people!

This kind of argument was absolutely new to the court and the people at that time, but for many scholars who were obsessed with the dream of dividing the river and ruling the river in history, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

This is a fact that ordinary people can understand, not to mention those scholars who are still a little wise.

The current situation is completely different from the confrontation between Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin can endure the existence of the Southern Song Dynasty, one is that the war is not going well, and the other is that he has the ability to be completely self-sufficient. This is an obvious fact that does not require much thought at all.

By this time, the public opinion of the people and the court had been completely controlled, and the attention and precautionary psychology of the Dongyu naturally rose.

After all, the thought of being ruled by a foreign race makes everyone shudder, even the most incompetent and useless bureaucrat.

Historically, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, more than ninety percent of the officials chose to surrender and cooperate. As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, a large number of officials chose to flee south as soon as possible, and the exclusivity between these ethnic groups was still very strong.

It is also rare for the sentiment of the court and the people to be mobilized, and of course the Information Department accounts for ninety percent of the credit.

Including the red flag in front of him, it is also a trick that the Information Department has come up with, used to invigorate and encourage popularity, publicize the imperial court's moral orders, etc., all of which have a miraculous effect that cannot be compared with the dry copy of the palace.

The new messenger galloped all the way into the prince's residence in Qingjiang, and when he arrived at the place, his own officials greeted him with a smile, led the war horse, and Liu Zhaohui, the pipe band of the Donggong Zhiwei Battalion, personally hurried down from the steps and led the soldier all the way up.

This messenger is a person from the Qin army, after being ordered, he rode a horse and galloped, from Xuzhou to Huai'an hundreds of miles, he rushed in a day and a half, along the way in addition to resting for an hour to eat and rest, is to change horses without changing people, until the Qingjiang camp.

At this moment, into the prince's administrative and military affairs hall, this Qin army has long been in the Chinese army is also a knowledgeable person, seeing that the prince's main hall is just a single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the regulation is only five bays, the line is not big, and there is no gorgeous carving, and there is no decoration outside the knowledge, at this time, he is also sincerely admired, the prince's not decorated with luxury, not heavy decoration of pleasure, it seems that the rumors are true.

"Okay, another one? Then the guys put down all the work they had on hand and listen to what they had to say. ”

As soon as the messenger entered the main hall, he heard a young man laughing and laughing.

In this hall, the one who dares to speak like this is, of course, the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At the moment, he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down, and signed up loudly.

"You are a warrior who kills the enemy in front, get up and speak."

It was still the same voice, very soft, and the messenger's mood was much more relaxed. He had the audacity to raise his head and peek in, but he saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen, smiling at him.

At first glance, the prince seems to be disappointing, he is too young, and he does not seem to be a wise, stable and able figure who can control the overall situation.

But he was swept away by his eyes, and he only felt that there was a majestic light in his eyes, which was the eyes that only those who had held power for a long time, and coupled with the tall and majestic posture, the kind of imposing momentum of his gestures, he only looked at it twice, and the messenger was afraid in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at it again.

"Tell me, Taibao Pyle, is there any new news?"

The development and results of the Shandong battlefield were never expected by Zhu Cihong!

He was also limited by the history he knew, and he did not expect that because of his activities in Shandong and the dispatch of capable bureaucrats like Zhu Dadian, the situation in Shandong did not fall to the Qing army or split in half as in history, but mostly fell on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Shandong suffered less from the scourge of the invading army, and the local gentry were also very good, and in many places the gentry were gathering soldiers and horses to maintain it. The clan strength on the Shandong side is not weak, and as long as the gentry have the financial resources and determination, they will soon be able to pull up a force of soldiers and horses.

For example, Liu Konghe is one of the representatives, relying on the shadow of his ancestors and fathers, Liu Konghe was soon able to pull up a team of several thousand people, and went all the way south to become one of the regular army.

If there is no considerable strength, this person will not become a partial division of Liu Zeqing's department, and Liu Konghe will become a deputy general from a white ding.

In Shandong, there were at least tens or hundreds of such gentry, and the number of people called for was also in the hundreds of thousands.

In real history, it was the short-sightedness of Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying that buried the good situation in Shandong, and since Zhu Cihong decided to send Zhu Dadian to pass through Shandong, and gave Zhu Dadian soldiers and horses and material support, the entire history of the late Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes invisibly!

Most of Shandong was owned by the Ming Dynasty, and it already threatened Tianjin and Gyeonggi, which was a very disadvantageous place for the Qing army in terms of strategic form, and it was also a place where it was difficult to tolerate.

And Henan is now a tripartite force coexists, the Qing occupy more than half of the territory, the Shun army and the Ming army each have a small half, the Shun army's forces are mainly in Nanyang Mansion and Tang, Deng area, and Xiangyang.

And the Ming forces are mainly in the Suizhou area, in the Pinglu army cavalry and Henan town commander-in-chief Li Chengdong unremitting efforts, the Qing army on the other side of the river has been constantly shrinking, now the attitude of the Qing army is also very paradoxical, Duoduo was originally in the Huaiqing area, ready to lead the main force to attack Tongguan, but the Ming army in Shandong and Henan moved, Duoduo was obviously contained, Beijing, in this short period of time can not make a correct judgment, can only let Duoduo this strong army be placed in the Huaiqing area, unable to move.

It was impossible to decide whether to go west or south for a while, and this was also the result of the deterioration of the overall strategic situation of the Qing army.

The reason why Dolgon worked so hard in Shandong and sent an army that Zhu Cihong did not expect was that the main purpose was to consolidate the battlefields of Shandong and Henan, and when the Western Expeditionary Army freed up its hands to go south, it already had a very stable rear.

But it is clear that this plan has completely failed for now.

As for Zhu Cihong's side, after the great victory, it caused a short period of chaos in the camp.

At the beginning, three battalions of soldiers were sent to the Shandong battlefield, and it was judged that the Qing army on the Shandong battlefield would not exceed 4,000 people, plus the newly attached Han army was only about 10,000 people.

What made Zhu Cihong even happier was that this battle was not only won, but also the main force of the Pingyu Army!

The artillery battalion of the Pingyu Army and the infantry battalion of the Pingyu Army, in this battle, all showed the strength of any Ming army completely different from the past!

In Sun Chuanting's recital, the Pinglu Army has been given the highest level of judgment, in Sun Chuanting's view, the Pingyu Army in terms of training methods, equipment and morale, completely surpassed Xu Zhen and Shandong Town, and the Liao Town of that year was also far behind, although there was a serious lack of combat experience, but the Pingyu Army was already worthy of the strongest army in the sea.
