Dolgon did not expect that the Wehrmacht's offensive operation this time would have no signs at all, and the Texas frontline, which was the focus of the imperial court's defense, could not hold out for even half a month.

Wu Sangui's surrender to the Wehrmacht was also unexpected by Dolgon, Wu Sangui was on the list of traitors of the Nanjing government, and he was very high, which Dolgon knew, which was also the reason why he dared to let Tan Tai put Wu Sangui in front, because he felt that it was impossible for the Nanjing government to accept the surrender of a traitor like Wu Sangui.

Now that the Nanjing government has not only accepted Wu Sangui's surrender, but also asked Wu Sangui to lead people to follow the princess of the former dynasty overseas, Dolgon really didn't expect it.

Dolgon was not very trusting of Wu Sangui because of his repeated position when he defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is also the reason why Wu Sangui has been shelved in the cabinet after the Manchu court set the capital in Beijing, and then the troops were really stretched, so he followed Fan Wencheng's advice to release Wu Sangui from the pass, but he didn't expect that it was only more than two years ago, and Wu Sangui changed to the Nanjing government.

"It's really a slave with three surnames, and the king trusts him in vain, if he catches this fang again in the future, he will be cut by a thousand knives!" Dolgon said hatefully, and after speaking, he glanced at Fan Wencheng, which scared Fan Wencheng into trembling.

Fan Wencheng knew that Dolgon would not blame him more in Wu Sangui's matter, but this incident served as a lesson from the past, and Fan Wencheng felt that he would have to be more careful in what he said in the future.

Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng, but his mind turned to the defense of the Gyeonggi area, and he did not bother to blame Fan Wencheng.

In addition to the new army that is being trained by more than 30,000 people, the others are some Manchu nobles' clothed minions, and these people are good at dealing with the previous Ming Dynasty army. Dealing with the Wehrmacht, Dorgon felt that it was not possible.

I carefully went through the Qing soldiers in Shanxi and Hebei in my mind. Although there are quite a few of them. There are still nearly 100,000 people, but Dolgon has no faith in their combat effectiveness, and after thinking about it, Dolgon feels that he can only let Duoduo return from Henan to defend Zhili and defend the Beijing division.

However, if Duoduo returned to defend Zhili, this would mean that the imperial court would abandon Henan, and once the defense forces in Nanjing occupied the entire territory of Henan, it would directly cut off the imperial court from the provinces that had been occupied in the south. Without a source of tax revenue for the southern provinces, what will the imperial court do to support such a large army in the future?

Dolgon's head cracked and patted himself on the head, startling the ministers present.

"Now that the whole territory of Shandong will be lost, it is predictable, how to plan for the next step, you have to think of a good plan." Dorgon said helplessly to the ministers.

"King Rui, this king feels that the defense of Gyeonggi is the first priority at the moment, and if the Nanjing Defense Army continues to march towards Beijing after capturing Shandong, it must have a reliable army to defend the capital. This king felt that to defend the capital, it was none other than King Yu. King Yu has confronted Nanjing in Henan for many years, and has fought many times, and knows a lot about the national defense army, and the commander of the new army, Kong Youde, has been under his command for a long time, and King Yu is in charge of the defense of the capital, which can also make the emperor and the ministers feel at ease. ”

Xinyi's auxiliary uncle Wang Jierharang is also a veteran of the battle, and he knows the current situation, and he also knows that if Duoduo is withdrawn from Henan back to Beijing, Henan's defense will have big problems, but now there are not so many things to take care of, the capital can't be saved, the imperial court can't be saved, what's the use of keeping Henan? So he said straight to Dolgon.

"Henan is located in a key position, if we lose Henan, Nanjing will cut off our contact with the southern provinces, without the support of grain taxes in the southern provinces, the imperial court will not be able to maintain, this king is also very difficult to think!"

Dolgon shook his head and said, in fact, his heart is inclined to withdraw Duoduo to the capital division, now the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, the imperial army has been defeated one after another, how long can his position in the court be maintained, Dolgon is also extremely worried in his heart, with his own brother leading the troops to guard him, he can sleep more peacefully.

"According to the old minister, the land of the two lakes cannot be lost, this is the granary of the imperial court, to guard the land of the two lakes, you must guard Henan, otherwise what is the use of the land of the two lakes? But the defense of Gyeonggi cannot be relaxed, I wonder if I can give up to Guizhou and Yunnan and other places, let Prince Su return to defend Henan, so that King Yu can withdraw from Henan to defend Beijing, I don't know what a few princes think? Sonny closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he spoke.

Listening to Sony's words, Dolgon and everyone in the temple were silent, these two provinces have actually been basically taken now, and the huge place that has been occupied is now going to be given up, and everyone feels unacceptable in their hearts.

But the reality is cruel, if you don't give up these two places, once the Wehrmacht attacks Beijing, who will defend them, everyone can't find a good way, there is no way but to be silent, the hall is so quiet that you can hear a needle on the ground.

In the end, it was Dolgon who broke the silence in the hall with a helpless voice: "Since you all have no good plan, let's do what Sony's advice is." ”

Luo Jian knew that Wu Sangui's surrender would definitely have a great impact on the Manchu court, but the impact on the Manchu court was so great that Luo Jian did not expect.

At this time, Luo Jian was wandering the streets of Texas City with Huang Degong. Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun have been sent to Nanjing under the supervision of the Eighth Division that followed, although Luo Jian was a little curious about the legendary beautiful Chen Yuanyuan, but he couldn't tell Wu Sangui, I want to see the concubine, right?

Except for the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Guanning Army, who volunteered to go overseas with Wu Sangui to join the princess, everyone else stayed, and Wu Sangui did not take the war horse with him, and he also knew that it would take a long time to go overseas at sea, and it was unrealistic to carry the war horse.

Luo Jian felt that the biggest gain of this battle was to obtain a large number of war horses, the more than 15,000 cavalry of the Guanning Army did not fight, and they would not attrition, while the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Mangtai fought in the city, and the loss of war horses was also very small, so that the Wehrmacht gained more than 20,000 war horses in the first battle.

The city of Dezhou is not as prosperous as the southern provinces, and the sparse pedestrians on the streets make this extremely prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty look extremely depressed. In another time and space, Luo Jian had never been to Texas City, and his understanding of Texas only stayed on the famous "Texas Grilled Chicken", at this time the "Texas Grilled Chicken" was already available, and Luo Jian looked for a few places but did not find it. It's a little interesting.

The news of the huge earthquake in Beijing was sent by the Ministry of Security. Lai Fu has succeeded in rebelling against a former Ming minister. With him, most of Dolgon's decisions can be passed on to Luo Jian.

Originally, a temporary battle that only wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Division actually caused this effect, and Luo Jian felt a little surprised.

The current situation in Shandong is naturally extremely beneficial to the national defense force, but how to lay it out, now we have to think carefully, there is one point that Luo Jian feels must be grasped, that is, to take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of Qing troops to annihilate as many Qing troops as possible. If he can take the opportunity to capture Henan, I am afraid that the little emperor will no longer be able to stay in the city of Beijing.

The offensive of the Seventh Division could not be stopped, this was the result of discussions between Luo Jian, Huang Degong and others, and only when the Seventh Division kept marching in the direction of Beijing would it cause great pressure on the Manchu court, and under pressure could the Qing army be mobilized more.

Tomorrow Luo Jian will return to Nanjing, Liu Zhaoji will lead the first army to Nanjing, how to arrange the future strategic direction of the first army, this has to go back and discuss carefully, if the first army can capture Henan. The time to solve the national problem will be shortened considerably.

Returning to the barracks from Dezhou City, Luo Jian called Wang Qiang over again and confessed repeatedly. If he wants to be in future battles, he must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy, and use a knife to kill chickens; the combat effectiveness of the Qing troops encountered at present is not strong, which does not mean that all the Qing soldiers are not strong in combat effectiveness, and the closer they are to the city of Beijing, the more fierce the resistance they will encounter.

By observing the entire battle process of the Seventh Division, Luo Jian found that he really underestimated Xiao Wang, don't look at Xiao Wang's usual carelessness, but he was able to be serious and meticulous in dealing with the deployment and arrangement of the battle, and considered the problem very comprehensively, which made Luo Jian feel a lot more relieved.

Although it took more than ten days to rush back to Nanjing from Texas, Luo Jian was really speechless about the traffic at this time.

The report of the occupation of Dezhou had already been reported to Nanjing through the post station Kuaima, and Shi Kefa and several other key government officials had already known the news, but they did not know about the Qing court's countermeasures, and the Ministry of Security did not have time to send the information to Nanjing.

Back in Nanjing, Luo Jian only sent an escort back to the house to tell Liu Lan, and he went directly to the office to find Shi Kefa.

"Xinghua, are you back? I really didn't see that the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Division was so strong? It was a beautiful battle. Without waiting for Luo Jian to speak, Shi Kefa said excitedly to Luo Jian.

"Hehe, I'm in a hurry to come back because the situation has changed a lot now, and we still have more things to do." Luo Jian didn't care about Shi Kefa's excitement, but pulled Shi Kefa to the front of the sofa and sat down.

As soon as Luo Jian told Shi Kefa about the situation, Shi Kefa's expression became more and more excited, he didn't expect Luo Jian's trip to have such a big impact on the situation.

"Brother Xian, where is the position of the First Army now?" Luo Jian asked anxiously.

"The First Army arrived in Nanjing yesterday, why do you have an idea for Xinghua?" As soon as Shi Kefa heard that Luo Jian was coming, he asked about the location of the First Army, knowing that he had a new strategic idea.

"Of course, there is an idea, the first army must enter Xuzhou immediately, wait for the opportunity to march to Henan, cut off the southern provinces from Beijing, so that the Manchu court will not last long at all."

"What about the change of clothes of the army? Yesterday I also went to the military factory to learn about the situation, the Yangzhou II rifle they produced is not enough to redress all the first army, if the first army is in a hurry to Xuzhou, Xinghua, do you think it is necessary to change some of them first? ”

"Don't miss the opportunity, this is the only way, tomorrow I will go to the first army to see, if they are not too hard, they will immediately march to Xuzhou, and we can send the equipment to Xuzhou."

The two talked for a while, and felt that it was very inconvenient to talk about the strategic situation of the whole country in the office, so they simply ran to the war room of the General Staff Headquarters again. Facing a large map of the situation between the enemy and the enemy on the wall, the two began to discuss the layout of the country.

If he did not make a detailed record, he was worried that he would not have a deep understanding of the intentions of the Metropolitan Governor and the Governor, and that he would miss a major event.

"Xinghua, the First Army has arrived in Xuzhou, is it still necessary for the Fifth Division to be in Xuzhou?" Shi Kefa asked, pointing to the location of Xuzhou on the map.

Luo Jian didn't answer immediately, but stared at the map and pondered. At present, the First Army has formed a relatively readable combat group, and the arms are also the most complete, and the question of whether or not there is a coordination of the five divisions is not a big one, but if the five divisions are transferred from Xuzhou, in which direction is it better, this must be carefully considered.

The Hong Chengchou clique in Hunan and Hubei provinces concentrated more than 400,000 Qing troops, and at present these Qing troops were basically completely contained by Li Chengdong's Second Army and Li Benshen's Second Division in the direction of Liuzhou in Hunan and Jiujiang in Hubei.

If the 2nd and 5th Divisions can fight in tandem, march in the direction of Hubei, and then advance to Wuhan after taking the Jiujiang area, it will inevitably cause great pressure on Hong Chengchou, so that Li Chengdong may be able to make a difference in Hunan. (To be continued.) )
