"Oops. ∈↗, I was deceived by Hong Chengchou, the old horseman! ”

After receiving Hunan's request for help, Yang Chao knew that he had been fooled, and Hong Chengchou was suspicious in Jiujiang, but he divided his troops and went to Hunan.

In other words, there are not many elites in Jiujiang City at this time, just the Jiangxi Green Battalion that was temporarily recruited.

This batch of Jiangxi soldiers was recruited when Hong Chengchou occupied Jiangxi, but he gave up after the whole of Jiangxi, these soldiers definitely have no military heart, Hong Chengchou has no elite bullet pressure like King Sanshun in his hand, it is estimated that he is barely enveloped, and it has already shown that Hong Chengchou is capable.

"Hit? Don't fight! ”

Xie Fei sent a letter asking if he wanted to take the opportunity to attack the city, but Yang Chao continued to hold his troops still.

Jiujiang was originally a lonely city, and Hong Chengchou's purpose in keeping this place was just to serve as the front line of the eastward advance of the Huguang Qing army and a barrier to prevent his own westward advance, which had a strategic position in Hong Chengchou's hands, but it was not so important in Yang Chao's hands.

The top priority at the moment is to keep Hunan.

He Tengjiao, a civil official, made Yang Chao very uncomfortable before, because after Yang Chao sent many men to recover Jiangxi, he actually deployed troops on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, looking like he was guarding against Yang Chao.

This time, the Qing army suddenly went south, starting from Yuezhou, and was invincible all the way, and the soldiers under his command couldn't stop it at all, so it was only then that he remembered to ask Jiangxi for help.

Because of this, Yang Chao found out that Hong Chengchou had sent troops to Hunan, and it was said that this was a good time to attack Jiujiang, but it was not just a Jiujiang that could repay the waste of so much energy before.

Zhao Kang has already reported back, saying that the journey is smooth, and the Zhenglan Banner of Zhending Mansion is really on the top of defending the city. Basically, there is no obstruction. Only when he attacked the Eight Banners noble manor. They will send troops to the rescue, and other times the two sides maintain a tacit understanding.

But Zhao Kang didn't dare to put safety on this tacit understanding, and still launched a line, using the slave owner's manor as a stronghold, maintaining a transportation channel connected to Shandong, so that the back road would not be cut off. conAd1();

In this way, it advanced step by step, until it reached the Hutuo River, and hit it along the Hutuo River to Wuguandian. Advancing eastward from the south bank of Wuguandian, hitting Wen'an, and then advancing northward until Bazhou, retreating after holding three days across the river with the elite 3,000 men and horses of the two white flags!

When entering, it took a month to reach Bazhou, but when retreating, it traveled a hundred miles a day, and it was withdrawn to Linqing in three days!

"This man is so dangerous! If it weren't for the strength of the soldiers, I would have died by my hands! ”

After Dolgon received the news of Yang Chao's retreat. immediately sighed, and then began to secretly hate Nan Siqi.

Originally, these four flags were placed on the south side. It was to let Yang Chao's army consume them, but who would have thought that they would not stop it, and let Yang Chao's cavalry break through to Shuntian Mansion, this time it is obvious that Yang Chao's army is just a temptation, if the next time it really attacks Beijing, Nansi Banner is afraid that it will be unreliable.

But if you want to cure their crimes, this is not the time, forcing these four banners to unite and fight with themselves, no one can end well, and Dolgon can only swallow this breath.

"It's a divisive plan!"

After receiving a report from Beijing, saying that the cavalry of the Ming army Yang Chao broke through to Bazhou and retreated immediately without engaging in battle, Hong Chengchou was clear in his heart.

"If he comes against me, I will live, but if he does not attack me, I will die!"

Hong Chengchou sighed and took a sip of wine, and after arriving in Jiujiang, he suddenly didn't want to drink tea and began to drink.

Nanking.

"Hong Chengchou sent troops to attack? Neurotic, will Lao Tzu fight you at this time? ”

"Order Xie Fei and Lu Mo to surrender to the Qing army in Jiujiang, even if there are prisoners, release them immediately."

The 100,000 people recruited by Hong Chengchou are all strong in Jiangxi, and they have been trained for several months, and they can be used with a little training after recruitment, so Yang Chao is reluctant to kill them. conAd2();

"Order many men to hold Changsha for He Tengjiao, Hunan must not be given to the Qing army!"

Yang Chao's plan was very good, and his reaction was very fast, but he couldn't bear to make trouble with his pig teammates.

Many men only have 30,000 soldiers, and it is the limit to be able to divide 10,000 to Hunan, so Yang Chao's plan is to let him lead troops into Changsha, 10,000 soldiers to defend Changsha is okay, and it is impossible to attack, as long as Changsha is blocked, the Qing army will not want to go south.

But the idea is very good, the reaction is also very fast, as soon as I received the news of many men, I issued an order, and the eight hundred miles were rushed back within five days, but when many men sent troops, they found that Changsha had been captured by the Qing army two days ago, and he was faced with 10,000 fresh troops defending the city, and the king of Sanshun had already gone south.

He Tengjiao abandoned the city and fled almost without resistance, and the people had already fled to Guangxi.

He Tengjiao's run, the Qing army almost took the entire Hunan, the only army with resistance is Li Zicheng's remnants, stationed in the mountains on the Sichuan-Hubei border under the banner of blocking Yinxi, the Qing army blocked the Jingzhou area, this army can not come out.

At the same time, in Beijing, the situation for Dolgon was also difficult.

From time to time, he remembered that when he first entered the customs, when the Qing court was united, as soon as he heard that Li Zicheng had captured Beijing, he knew that the great opportunity had come, and it was also the last chance, if Li Zicheng replaced the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to enter the customs and loot in the future.

So Dolgon gave an order, and all the eight banners over ten years old and sixty-one men were requisitioned, and they just scraped together more than 100,000 troops, and rode on horses to kill the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the Nansi Banner Yang is against the Yin, and the Ming army enters but does not fight with it, and the Ming army can be put in Shuntianfu, and the people's hearts are scattered.

Dolgon didn't dare to persecute too much, in case he forced the Southern Fourth Banner to the side of the Ming army, it would be a big joke, so he could only endure the crime of arson with the Southern Fourth Banner.

When everyone was in the bitter cold land outside the customs, they were able to unite as one, focus on the overall situation, and when there was an opportunity, they could all be soldiers, but when they entered the customs, they all occupied thousands of acres of fertile land, but they began to not want to make progress and concentrate on internal fighting, which made Dolgon very helpless, he did not know that class differentiation began when there was a surplus of means of production. conAd3();

But Dorgon knew that the reason for all of this was that he was too partial to the two white flags in the distribution of land.

But if you want him to take back the land in the hands of the two white flags, not to mention that the soldiers of the two white flags will not agree, even he Dolgon will not agree, why, these are Dolgon's descendants, not these horses can he be the regent? Back then, your Emperor Taiji tried his best to grasp the strength for himself, from the beginning of one banner to the time of your death, there were three flags, known as the three flags, strong soldiers and strong horses.

Why did Huang Taiji seize power at the time, everyone could bear it, but in the hands of Dolgon, they violated the yang and yin one by one, and tried their best to resist it.

Eight Flags is no longer available. Especially the South Fourth Banner is unreliable, Dolgon does not dare to guarantee that the next time the Ming Army goes on the Northern Expedition, they will not put the entire Ming Army under the city of Beijing, but there is no need to dispatch more troops, the main force of the Eight Banners is in Zhili, here is not a lack of troops, here is a lack of fighting spirit.

And he has no way to transfer the troops of the Southern Four Banners here, at this time, these four banners are actually extremely sensitive, and they are all worried that Dolgon will settle accounts with them, and they will grasp the army very tightly one by one, and unite around Zilharang, under the pretext of defending the Ming army, if you transfer them, they will not move.

Dolgon naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing to slap himself in the face, anyway, if he didn't mobilize these people, it would also make people feel that he was firmly in control of the court at this time, and if he didn't transfer, it would expose the situation that he couldn't suppress the situation now.

Dorgon needs to turn the tide, he needs strength and time.

He had to make a difficult decision.

"Peace talks? Are you kidding! ”

Yang Chao received information from Shandong in Nanjing, and the Qing army sent envoys to negotiate with him.

Think over and over again, weigh the pros and cons.

"Okay, let's talk!"

Yang Chao knew that this was Dolgon's procrastination strategy, but he didn't need time, he had to have two or three years to govern, so that Yang Chao could gather all his political and military capabilities, and now he was just trying to maintain it, and too many paralysis diseases still haven't been eliminated.

Yang Chao doesn't think that time will be on the side of the Eight Banners, they are changing just those few moves, and the backwardness of manpower and economy cannot be reversed.

"My lord, I'm afraid this move will cause criticism again!"

Huang Fengfu did not approve of it, he always advocated holding the south of the Yangtze River, allowing the Qing army to fight other resistance forces, neither making peace with the Qing army, nor fighting with the Qing army, so he almost said Ming Taizu's "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king".

The purpose of Huangfengfu is very simple, that is, to let the Qing army destroy the imperial court, and then Yang Chao will stand up and clean up the old mountains and rivers, ascend the throne as the emperor, and complete the hegemony.

But the times have changed, Yang Chao no longer wants to play this set of games that have lasted for thousands of years to dominate the world, the West is about to end the 30-year war, they began to negotiate to settle state-to-state relations, Yang Chao feels that still playing this kind of political game of the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, too far behind the times.

Moreover, Yang Chao has always longed for the feat of the two sides to abandon the previous suspicion and cooperate to resist the enemy when the future world resisted Japan, which set a new rule for the Chinese, that is, the external enemy is greater than the internal fight, the brothers are on the wall and the external humiliation is humiliated, when the foreign enemy invades, all Chinese should abandon the previous suspicions, resist the enemy together, and then it is not too late to divide the victory and defeat.

Prior to this, even a figure like Zhu Yuanzhang first fought with Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others in the south, and only after eliminating the internal enemy before starting the Northern Expedition.

What Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do, Yang Chao decided to start it by him and set up a banner for China, the banner of civilization.

"What are you afraid of, is there less criticism that this governor has encountered? Once you start negotiating, you can get rid of the paralysis. ”

Seeing that Yang Chao couldn't move, Huang Fengfu could only accept it, not to mention that he really needed time. (To be continued......)
