Hongdong County, no matter where you look at it, is a small place, the most important thing is that he is not a famous place, but this place, but it is very famous in later generations, because at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian rulers brutally suppressed the Han people internally, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, which led to a large reduction in the population of the Central Plains. I have a deep memory of Hongdong County, especially the big locust tree, which is the gathering place, and later generations have even become a huge number of activities such as 'root-seeking' and 'ancestor worship', which has made Hongdong County famous.

Of course, for the current troubled times, no matter how big the reputation is, it is useless, but these days, the originally inconspicuous Hongdong County has become increasingly lively, first tens of thousands of troops came from Pingyang Prefecture, and the entire Hongdong area was completely occupied, and then, tens of thousands of troops came from the north, and for a time, it became a place where the two armies clashed.

"General Dong, before I came, Lord Shi said that this W auxiliary minister is also a general, let's be careful with him, at the beginning, I was still a little disdainful, thinking that Lord Shi was a little worried, but today I saw his deployment situation, only to know that this is a general, just this kind of means of deployment, if it is not for the old army, it really can't be done." Outside Hongdong County, standing on a high ground, holding clairvoyance while carefully looking at the defense of the W Army on the opposite side, a general of the Shaanxi Ming Army spoke.

Hearing the words of this general, the commander of the Ming army next to him, Dong Qi, opened his mouth and said, "Hehehe, General Gao is right, you haven't seen the means of our Lord Shi, and our Shaanxi can have today's achievements." It all depends on Lord Shi's wise decision-making, so as long as it is what Lord Shi says, we will take it seriously, since he specifically proposed this W Auxiliary Minister, then it proves that this W Auxiliary Minister's must have real skills. Otherwise, how could ordinary people fall into his eyes, so this time we must take it seriously, and we must not wait for it to be taken lightly like before, of course, for this attack on the Eight Great Families, Lord Shi has already planned it. As long as we follow the plan made by Lord Shi in advance, do things seriously, and if nothing goes wrong, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Hearing Dong Qi's words, General Gao on the side nodded silently, if there is a familiar person here, he will be able to find out. This General Gao is none other than the queen of Li Zicheng of the original Dashun Army. Gao Guiying's elder brother, who is also the general of the Dashun Army, Gao Ligong, originally after Shi Lei took Xi'an, Gao Guiying and Gao Ligong would rather die than surrender, and Shi Lei had no choice but to imprison them. In this way, a lot of time has passed, and Gao Ligong originally thought that he would either be imprisoned to death in his life, or be killed by Shi Lei when Li Zicheng attacked again.

But they never thought of it. The general trend of the world is changing so fast, the once infinite scenery, with millions of soldiers, and the Dashun army, since in a short period of time, it has been scattered in all directions, and has been defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Fortunately, unlike ordinary people, the brother and sister are both people who have passed through the market, and later Li Guo and other remnants of the Dashun Army have also been put into the command of Shi Lei in Shaanxi, whether it is to avenge Li Zicheng, or to show their revenge, the brother and sister finally surrendered to the Hongguang Imperial Court, and this time, Gao Ligong followed Dong Qi to lead the troops, which was the first battle after his surrender. can only be headed by Dong Qi

It is the sound of the war drums in Hongdong County, when the war is about to break out, Beijing City is now also a controversy, for the Ming army to send troops to try to occupy the entire Shanxi action, the Manchu lords in Beijing City were suddenly divided into two factions, one faction is to Aobai, Suke Shaha, Yue Tuo and other relatively young Manchu generals voice, for these young Manchu generals, they are very reluctant to see Shanxi all fall into the hands of the Shaanxi Ming court, not to mention that in this way, the Manchu Qing pressure on the North Zhili has increased greatly, It was also a matter of degrading morale for their Manchu Eight Banner soldiers, and in addition to the contact of Ao Bai and others, who were eager for revenge, in just a few days, they had already submitted a number of letters of request to the regent Dorgon.

The other group of people are headed by Dai Shan, Haoge and others, they are resolutely opposed to sending troops to rescue the eight families in Shanxi at this time, because if they want to rescue the eight families, they must stop the war of southern invasion, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not suitable for a two-front war at all, and this is not in line with the interests of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the face of the rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, only half of the poor Shanxi, how can it be put in their eyes.

For a time, two voices filled the upper echelons of the entire Beijing city, not only quarreling below, but even in the court, which had been reduced to a formality, the two gangs of people were also arguing constantly, and the little emperor Shunzhi knew about it, so he also specifically asked Dolgon, who was already upset, to be in a more evil mood.

Beijing City, Dolgon Mansion, "Brother Fourteen, have you thought about it, then whether you will save Shanxi or not." "It's Duoduo who speaks, since Duoduo was demoted, he has become a frequent visitor to the regent's palace, unlike Aobai and others, after Aobai and others came back, they were immediately reinstated, and even received commendations, and Duoduo, as the commander, is still unable to go out of the mountain, in order to give an explanation to those dead Manchu soldiers because Dolgon wants to avoid suspicion.

It is precisely because of this that Dorgon, who understands Dorgon's thoughts, although he cannot personally participate in decision-making, but when Dolgon encounters a major matter, he will still pull him over to discuss.

Hearing Dordor's question, Dolgon did not answer immediately, but took a sip of tea, and only sighed after a long time and said, "Hey, fifteenth brother, to be honest." For this Shanxi thing, this king really feels a headache, and now this king finally understands why Cao Cao said the word 'chicken ribs', and now this king feels like this, you have to say that if you rescue Shanxi, then you have to stop the pace of the southern expedition. In this case, the preparations we have made for so long will be completely in vain, and the Southern Yongli Imperial Court will also be prepared for it, and when the time comes, we will not know when we will have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now, and if we wait until next year, we will have more things due to lack of food.

In addition, more of the Shanxi Eight Masters also have contributions to our Qing Dynasty. The reason why our Qing Dynasty has been able to grow stronger and stronger in recent years is that their material supply is very important, and if we just watch them fall into the hands of the Ming army in Shaanxi, I am afraid it will have a very bad impact on us.

But if we send troops to rescue Shanxi, we can only mobilize the Eight Banners stationed in the capital, but in this way, those who don't deal with us will find opportunities, especially Dai Shan. Hauge, these people, they seem to be very safe now. But that's just a façade, as long as we have the slightest weakness, they will leak their bloodthirsty fangs and attack us.

More importantly, this king was afraid that if he sent troops to help Shanxi now, it would become a stalemate with the Ming army in Shaanxi. If that's the case, it will be too bad for us, you know, the reason why we originally led troops into the customs and was sure to unify the Central Plains knows. Relying on the Central Plains group of dragons without a leader, the remaining forces of the parties are fighting with each other, a plate of scattered sand, which gives us a chance to break through, if we really stalemate with the Shaanxi Ming army, then it will give the Central Plains all parties a chance to fight back, when the time comes, they are likely to unite against us, or a strong force appears among them, if that is really the case, our Qing Dynasty will really not be good, and maybe even our Qing Dynasty will be destroyed because of this. After all, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was stable, the surrounding forces could only submit to it. ”

After Dolgon's words were finished, Dordo didn't speak immediately, just sat there, thinking about things uncertainly, he also understood what Dolgon said, not only understood, but even in some places he knew better than Dolgon, such as the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Shaanxi, although the battle of Tongguan has ended for a long time now, but he will never forget the scene of the Ming army in Shaanxi that is not afraid of death, and that is only the Ming army that has just been formed, and now the Ming army has developed for so long, There will definitely be more powerful progress, and after thinking a lot in his mind, Duoduo said, "Fourteenth brother, until now, we can only abandon the car to protect the handsome, you know, although Shanxi is important, it is nothing compared to the foundation of our entire Qing Dynasty."

Now what we need most in the Qing Dynasty is not territory, but food and other materials, without these, even if we occupy a large place, it is useless, more importantly, if we can't get Jiangnan before next year, get enough food and other materials, then what will happen next year, is not what we can think of. What's more, the current Shaanxi Hongguang Imperial Court is no longer the kind of force that we can wipe out by raising our hands at the beginning, although they are still a little behind us compared to our Qing Dynasty, but there is not much difference, the most important thing is that Shaanxi is now all controlled by Shi Lei's kid, even if there are some people who are dissatisfied with him, they will not show it on the surface, and although our Qing Dynasty is now the fourteenth brother you are in charge, but like Dai Shan, there are still a lot of people like Haoge, If we really get carried away for the sake of temporary gains and losses, I am afraid that the last failure will be our Qing Dynasty. ”

After listening to Duoduo's words, Dolgon nodded, for the meaning of Duoduo's words, he already understood, that is, to give up Shanxi, as soon as possible to take the land south of the Yangtze River, in the current situation when they are fighting against the two families of Shaanxi Hongguang Imperial Court, no one can win whom, the competition is the heritage, in the end, who has the deepest heritage, who will really win the final victory. “

"Okay, since this is the case, then this king can only give up Shanxi, I hope Fan Yongdou and they can hold on for a while longer, if we can hold on to those places south of the Yangtze River, we will be able to directly send troops to Shanxi, when the time comes, I am afraid that Shi Lei's kid and those remnants of the Ming Dynasty will be terrified." When Dorgon finally made his decision, he said happily in his heart.

Hearing Dolgon's words, although Duoduo didn't say anything on his face, he still had some disdain for Dolgon's good wishes in his heart, not to mention whether the current Shanxi could block the surging troops of the Ming army in Shaanxi, and more importantly, they wanted to take Jiangnan to know, it was not so easy, after all, there was a Huang Degong in front of them, although the Manchu Eight Banners army was strong, but Huang Degong's soldiers were not vegetarians, in addition, many places in the north of the Yangtze River were not suitable for cavalry, Huang Degong and they are the head snakes again, the combination of the two, the Manchu Qing battle in Jiangbei fought very hard, Azig asked for more reinforcements many times, but Dolgon did not agree, not that Dolgon was unwilling, but that the Manchu Qing really had no extra troops to send to Jiangbei.

It is precisely because of this that even Wu Sangui, who was defeated and returned in the land of Henan, Dolgon did not punish him too much, but after a slight punishment, he let him make meritorious service for his crimes, re-recruit troops, and help Azig attack Huang Degong, otherwise, with Dolgon's weight on Hong Chengchou, knowing that after Wu Sangui left Hong Chengchou and fled back alone, he directly ordered him to be cut down, and he would be asked to lead the troops again.

But no matter what Duoduo thought, when the news of Dorgon's abandonment of rescuing Shanxi was transmitted, the originally disturbing city of Beijing finally calmed down, no matter how unwilling Ao Bai and the others were, they would not challenge Dorgon's authority at this time.

And Shi Lei, who got the news through Hong Chengchou, finally let go of the last worry in his heart, to be honest, as Dolgon considered, Shi Lei has also been worried that when attacking the Eight Great Families, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will send troops desperately to block it, if that is the case, in the end, I am afraid that the Ming army will return in vain, and now after everything is clear, Shi Lei knows that the time when the entire Shanxi falls into his hands will not be too far away, as for the 50,000 troops of W Fuchen stationed in Hongdong County, after they leave Pingyang Mansion, It's no longer in Shi Lei's eyes.
