Chapter 100: Loss of 7,000 cavalry
Shunzhi is facing a predicament, he is in a dilemma, in fact, Shunzhi can also think that there is only one person who can help him, and that is Dolgon!
But he can't open his mouth, if he asks Dorgon for help, he, the emperor, still has face? Isn't it also an acknowledgment that Dolgon was useful, and that he made the situation worse for the Manchus after he became pro-government?
At this moment, Fan Wencheng came, although Fan Wencheng's official position has not been restored, but he has the ability to come in, this is arranged by Shunzhi, and no one will intercept Fan Wencheng.
As soon as Fan Wencheng came in, he said to Shunzhi: "Your Majesty, Dolgon's army has already been dispatched!" Their direction was to go straight to Zhang Biwu's cavalry! It seems that Dolgon is the cavalry that has been staring at Zhang Biwu, and wants to destroy Zhang Biwu's cavalry! ”
"Oh? That's it! Ha Lu Ha! Shunzhi laughed, Dolgon really did a great favor, but he didn't want to leak it, Dolgon was what he wanted to kill, and the super villain who was announced, and now he praised Dolgon, isn't it just to contradict himself? That's not going to work!
Fan Wencheng saw Shunzhi laughing, he thought that there was a play, and it was necessary to let Shunzhi and Dolgon join forces, so he said: "Your Majesty, during this time, Dolgon has repeatedly helped us!" His heart is still yearning for the Qing Dynasty......"
Before he finished speaking, Shunzhi's face was extremely ugly, and he interrupted Fan Wencheng and said, "Okay! Mr. Fan, don't say more! Your plan didn't work! did not let Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Biwu fall out, but made them more united! It's yours, isn't it! ”
Shunzhi didn't blame Fan Wencheng for failing this plan before, but now the reason why he blames Fan Wencheng is nothing more than that Fan Wencheng wants to speak for Dolgon. This touched the tendon in Shunzhi's brain. Of course he didn't allow it.
How smart Fan Wencheng is. Then he saw the mystery in it, and he immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
Shunzhi looked at Fan Wencheng coldly, of course he knew Fan Wencheng's loyalty, but said: "Mr. Fan, don't talk without going through your brain in the future!" Some people can be mentioned, some people can't! Do you know the way? ”
The dignity of an emperor is very majestic. Fan Wencheng is constantly pleading guilty.
Shunzhi didn't want to embarrass Fan Wencheng too much, so he said, "Okay! Get up! Fan Wencheng got up and finally escaped.
Shunji looked at him. He asked: "If we can eliminate the opposition on the Mongol side, will Jiangnan be able to recover?" ”
Fan Wencheng shook his head like a rattle and replied: "I think Jiangnan is difficult to recover!" What can be hoped for is that Prince Yu can carry it as long as possible, dragging Zhang Biwu's men and horses to the south of the Yangtze River. And Yue Le and Hong Jiu Lao were able to quickly defeat Li Yan and Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Jiulao were officials in the same dynasty, and the two knew each other, so it was very difficult for the two to gain the upper hand! That's why it's deadlocked! ”
Shunzhi sighed and said: "The ministers in the court are all impeaching Hong Chengchou, and the excerpts are being presented one after another, and I am constantly suppressing them!" I'm embarrassed too! I also know the reason why I want to reuse Hong Chengchou! Therefore, Prince Li was appointed as the commander. But they still want to remove Hong Chengchou again, and they also say that now Prince Li is sick, in fact, Hong Chengchou is in charge of the army. But he has made repeated mistakes and should be dismissed Hong Chengchou! It's disgusting! It's like a crow in Chongzhen! ”
Shunzhi clenched his fists and shouted: "I am definitely not Chongzhen!" ”
As soon as Fan Wencheng heard it, he took Shunzhi's words and said, "That's right! The emperor knew that Chongzhen was not single-minded enough and did not have the courage to decide! There are scruples here, scruples there, and the result is that the society dies, and the emperor will not be like Chongzhen. The emperor is wise and powerful, unmatched! ”
Fan Wencheng has to shoot Shunzhi's ass again. Shunzhi nodded with satisfaction, Shunzhi was still very popular with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui betrayed, and pulled Shang and Geng in.
Although Shang Kexi continued to say that it was caused by his rebellion, the whole army betrayed the Manchus, and he was unwilling to betray. As long as he can regain power, then he will be loyal to the emperor again.
It's a pity, Shang Kexi only has one city, and his troops are not much, although Shang Zhixin betrayed the Qing Dynasty, he didn't dare to attack his father, and he didn't dare to approach Shang Kexi, for fear that Shang Kexi was "righteous and annihilated", and he wanted to kill his Shang Zhixin, so as to dedicate it to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then establish the name of Zhongqing.
Shunzhi and the others all knew that if Shang Kexi hadn't given the military power to his son, there would have been no such thing, no matter how disloyal Geng Jingzhong was. Shunzhi also had a secret decree to Shang Kexi, asking Shang Kexi to kill Geng Jingzhong according to the situation and seize his military power, which was ultimately a failure.
It's all like this before, and it's useless to say more. What Shunzhi is thinking about now is how to face the next situation and how to get out of the predicament.
He is going to give an order to Yue Le, so that Yue Le will no longer focus on rescuing the south as before, but find a way to attack Henan, how to tear through the defense line, and put Zhang Biwu's lair to the end, otherwise, if he wants to save the south, he will move forward according to the trajectory that Zhang Biwu expected.
Although he threw away the Qing army and Jiangnan in Jiangnan, he felt uncomfortable, but he had to give up! Life is always faced with one choice after another.
Zhang Biwu also led the army to surround Hangzhou and other places, Zhang Biwu did not attack, he knew better than anyone that under the strong attack, he would only let himself lose his troops and generals, and his military combat strength was not good!
His heart was extremely troubled, and he really didn't know how to solve the battle on the Jiangnan side, so that he could move his army north.
Zhang Biwu also heard that Dolgon had also left Yulin and Shanxi on the side, and instead turned to Mongolia to wipe out Zhang Biwu's 30,000 cavalry.
In the eyes of the Manchus, the other side had cavalry to be more threatening, so it is not surprising that they came exclusively for cavalry.
If this cavalry is wiped out, it will be miserable! What should I do? Moreover, there is a new battle report in Henan, Yue Le is no longer focusing on how to think about crossing the river, but actively preparing, he wants to advance into Henan.
Bozhou and Yingzhou in Fengyang Prefecture are under fierce attack, including Yongcheng in Henan, which is also under attack, and these places are being defended.
Not only that, Shunzhi transferred most of his troops, and he was determined to open a way in this area. The Qing army led by Hong Chengchou also strengthened the offensive to cooperate with Yue Le's attack.
This made Zhang Biwu feel incomprehensible, didn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly want to save Shuosai? Why did you give up? And also moved troops to Henan? It is not an easy task to capture Zhang Biwu's Henan. Is this a gamble? Is it a bet that Zhang Biwu can pacify Jiangnan quickly, or can the Manchu Qing Dynasty uproot Zhang Biwu's foundation as soon as possible?
Zhang Biwu doesn't want to be here anymore, he must go back, Jiangnan is now within reach, even if it's late, it doesn't matter, it is the most important thing to protect Henan and Shanxi.
Zhang Biwu told Zheng Chenggong about this opinion, he wanted to return to Henan, stabilize the situation in the Central Plains first, and then make other plans. At the same time, Zhang Biwu also wanted to know the movements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Biwu was still surrounding Hangzhou, and suddenly thought of a way, if the defenders of Hangzhou, as well as the surrounding defenders, knew that Shunzhi and the whole dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded them as outcasts and bait, would they resist stubbornly? Maybe you can win without a fight!
It's just that how to get Shunzhi's handwritten letters, or the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are unanimously in favor of abandoning them. Think about it, how can these people not be angry?
Not to mention the Han Chinese-dominated Green Battalion soldiers, even if they are full of Eight Banner soldiers, they will feel scared and angry, so they don't want to defend anymore. Wouldn't it be better to induce them to surrender and not kill, and forgive them all?
Zhang Biwu thought of this, he was excited, but what should he do? How can I steal the Shunzhi and Manchu Dynasty concertans and the like? This is not an easy task!
At this time, Zhang Biwu received news that his cavalry had suffered great losses, and many people had died in battle. Seven thousand people were lost!
O his cavalry! Oh his baby! Seven thousand were wiped out by Dolgon! If it weren't for the arrival of Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi's cavalry, his 30,000 men might have been annihilated. The other cavalry, under the leadership of Zhou Yuji and others, returned to Shaanxi to rest.
Now the situation is another step against Zhang Biwu! Zhang Biwu wanted to know what the situation was like.
Here's the thing, please forgive the author for being abrupt, insert it, the reason for the defeat of Zhang Biwu's northern aid to the grassland.
Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao took the newly trained 30,000 cavalry to the Mongolian steppe north, and they wanted to support Abnai and others.
Zhou Yuji didn't dare to slack off, he and Tang Tong, Lin Chengcheng and others continued to lead the troops.
It was detected that the front was the location of Abneh's troops, and that Abneh was under attack, and the situation was very critical. Like Zasaktu Khan Suban, Chechen Khan Shuoli, Tushetu Khan Yanbu, etc., were all defeated, and now Abunai is besieged and cannot be rescued.
Several Mongolian tribes in Ordos saw that the anti-Qing Mongolian tribes had been hit hard, and they also blindly sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.
After Zhou Yuji and the others discussed, Lin Yangyang and Tang Tong led 5,000 cavalry to quickly move forward to help Abunai.
At the same time, Zhou Yuji's army will also follow, and at this time, Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao also heard that Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi's 7,000 cavalry were rushing here, and they wanted to help them.
Originally, the number of cavalry of the Dashun army was very large, but because of repeated defeats in the Manchu Dynasty, now the number of cavalry of Li Guobu is not much, only more than 10,000 people, and now he has dispatched 7,000 people, which is equivalent to half of the dispatch, it is Li Guo's timely arrival that can save Zhou Yuji and other people, and let Zhou Yuji retreat to the Great Wall together.
