After bringing Princess Changping back to Jinzhou and being taken care of by Ruochen, Zhang Zhang immediately rushed to Seoul without stopping. Everyone knows that the current battle of Korea determines the fate of the Tuanshan Army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also determines the fate of the Central Plains after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is Li Zicheng or Wu Sangui, they can be said to be stepping on the **** luck at present-Tuanshan Army was dragged in a foreign land, which is really a great opportunity to seize the territory after the death of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, Zhang Li knew all this, so he was also a little anxious in his heart.

After all, Zhang Zhang is also an ordinary man, not a god operator of an unknown prophet, he did not expect that Chongzhen only existed for nine years, not seventeen years in history.

This unexpected mistake can be described as a heavy lesson, and it also made Zhang Li completely abandon the direction of history, and any future decisions will not be affected again......

Just when the Tuanshan Army was preparing to pour out of the nest and cross the Han River north to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Tatars, it actually rained lightly for several days in a row. The rain was not heavy but continuous, and the water level of the Han River inadvertently soared, which was a mixed blessing.

Standing on the south bank of the Han River in the rain, far away from the military camp of the Tartars on the north bank, Zhang Li couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Originally, the water of the Han River was not too deep, and it was more troublesome to cross the river, requiring a large number of boats, and I am afraid that the casualties would not be small. This is a very simple reason, the original bridge on the Han River has long been destroyed, and both the Tuan Shan army and the Manchu Tatars must use ships to cross the river. From the beginning of spring to the present in May, the Tuanshan Army recruited a large number of Korean craftsmen to make boats to cross the river, and even made thousands of bamboo rafts.

Now the Han River is skyrocketing. It was really a great thing, because of the warships of the regimental landscape division. It's time to drive into the Han River. Previously, the water level was not deep enough, so small boats could only be built to cross the river. After the water level soared, this thorny problem became very simple, and with the escort of warships, the casualties of crossing the river could be greatly reduced.

At this moment, Chen Zhengcao's regimental landscape division was rushing here from Tianjinwei and could arrive tomorrow, while Zhang Zhang came to the riverside to inspect the enemy situation the day before crossing the river.

Zhang Li looked at it for a long time, and finally withdrew his gaze, his brow locked deeply. Gao Yuanliang and Kang Xing'an accompanied Zhang Li. The two of them obviously saw the downside of the rain as well.

Gao Yuanliang rubbed his hands and said loudly: "My lord, this continuous light rain has made the road on the north bank muddy, although our army can be safed from crossing the river, but after crossing the river, I am afraid that the march will be greatly affected, especially the artillery team and the baggage team." ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, and it was this that worried him in his heart. This time, the Tuanshan Army gathered more than 500 howitzers, ready to deliver a thunderous blow to the Tartars, but the muddy road made Zhang Li feel in a dilemma.

Kang Xing'an took two steps forward. Walking up to Zhang Li, he said, "My lord, now that it's raining, the artillery of the Tartars can't be fired......

Zhang Li also nodded, thinking for a moment. Said to Gao Yuanliang: "Yuanliang, rainy days are unfavorable to both warring sides. Although the guns of both the enemy and us are not afraid of rain, the artillery is very affected. This is tantamount to canceling out the superiority of the artillery of our regiment's mountain army. However, the Tartars were good at riding and shooting, and their bows and arrows were not accurate in the rain. Extremely fragile. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "There is erosion in Daming Pass. We must get out of the Korean battlefield as soon as possible! Tomorrow, after Chen Zhengcao's regimental landscape division enters the Han River, it will cross the river and fight according to the original plan! ”

"Yes! - Gao Yuanliang immediately replied loudly, with a hint of expectation on his face. It's been more than half a year since the last battle of Guangluyuan, and it's finally time for the day of the decisive battle with the Tartars.

……

Uiju was the closest city to the Yalu River in Joseon, and the new emperor Shunji came to this place in the arms of the Empress Dowager Burbutai.

Just half a month ago, Dorgon was mysteriously killed in Pyongyang, along with his brother Dord. How Dolgon was killed, the Manchu court was secretive, and the words were unknown. With Dorgon's shrewdness and strength, he was killed by a woman, which really surprised the Jurchen princes and ministers.

Immediately afterwards, Bulbutai announced the death of Huang Taiji and Huang Taiji's testament. The Mongol and Han banners of Korqin immediately swore allegiance to the new emperor Shunzhi, and the Jurchen Eight Banners, led by Dai Shan and Jierharang, also declared allegiance to the new emperor after Dolgon was killed and assured that his interests would not be violated.

A huge crisis of seizing the heir has just subsided. In addition to the Dorgon brothers, the saddest thing is naturally the previous prince of the eldest brother Hauge - he was ordered to be martyred for Huang Taiji - it is not uncommon for wives and concubines to be martyred for the emperor, and sons are martyred for Lao Tzu, this is really the first time. Anyway, Hauge doesn't have military power, and naturally no one cares about his life or death.

In the emperor's tent in Yizhou, the Empress Dowager Burbutai summoned Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou has now been officially named Taishi and has become the nominal teacher of the little emperor Shunzhi. Lord Hong won the "meritorious service" in the new emperor's accession to the throne this time, so he got such an official position.

Taishi is the head of the three dukes, and the Ming Dynasty is the only one who has been named Taishi, but Burbutai did not hesitate to directly seal Hong Chengchou as Taishi, which is full of the meaning of wooing.

At this moment, there are only two people in the big tent, Bulbutai and Hong Chengchou, and the matter they are going to discuss next is too important to be leaked.

Hong Chengchou put on a low-eyebrow and stood in the tent. He is also quite jealous of the queen mother's thunderbolt methods, this woman can do whatever it takes to get her son on the throne, she is really not a good stubble.

Burbutai glanced at Hong Chengchou, and said lightly: "How to deal with the aftermath of the war in Korea, Hong Aiqing has a good plan?" ”

Hong Chengchou had already made up his mind about this matter, only smiled slightly, and then replied loudly: "The Queen Mother is glorious." The soldiers of our Great Qing Dynasty have always been brave and good at fighting, and that mountain army is not to be worried. “

Burbutai frowned, Hong Chengchou would have believed this a few years ago, but now she can only say "hehe".

Hong Chengchou has always been scheming, so he won't talk nonsense, what does he mean?

Burbutai couldn't help but ask: "Hong Aiqing, our Great Qing Kingdom doesn't seem to have a single victory against that mountain army, this-"

Hong Chengchou nodded, his waist straightened a little, and he brushed his beard and said, "This time and that time!" Queen Mother, in the future, the tactics and tactics on the battlefield of the Qing Dynasty must be innovated. The minister has already considered the whole situation, as long as he follows the minister's method, defeating the Tuanshan army is just around the corner! (To be continued.) )
