"What's the method?"

"Get all the suspicious people into the Criminal Division, let them catch each other's spies, and see who has something wrong." Song Hongye's mouth was dry, and he licked his lips but didn't feel wet: "Then tell everyone a different military situation, and then His Highness will move...... I know who spread the word here. ”

The lady's eyes widened, and she muttered, "You can even think of this?" I'm really convinced of you. No wonder Your Highness is willing to believe you and let you be this eye. You said you're so smart, and you're afraid you won't be able to play a savage? ”

Song Hongye suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! I almost forgot! I have His Highness behind me! and that Yuan Ming, there has been no news of him recently, which is really worrying. ”

- I'm not alone!

Song Hongye suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

"It's useless to worry, come, I'll help you reaming your hair!"

Song Hongye sighed, reached out and touched his hair, still a little reluctant in his heart. He now suddenly knew that the crown prince of Weishenme did not want to see the Manchus enter the customs. Ordering someone to shave his head is really a stab in the heart of the Han people!

Song Hongye got out of bed, faced his hometown, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and choked up: "Dad, mother!" Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both! The son must be loyal, only to be an unfilial son......"

The little lady didn't wait for Song Hongye to finish speaking, she had already taken the scissors, and with two clicks, she hinged the bun on the top of Song Hongye's head. Song Hongye saw a wisp of green silk falling at his feet, and he couldn't say the words anymore, so he sighed and closed his eyes.

……

Dorgon did suspect that the news had leaked from the military plane. He suspected that the eunuchs in the palace, these eunuchs were all the servants of the old Ming, and it was difficult to ensure that no one spied secretly and reported to the old master. He also suspected the old man of Sony's dry yellow flag, and suspected that they deliberately released the news to make the Ming army prepared. ruined his own big affairs, so as to delay the entry of Zilharang and Fulin into Beijing.

However, Dorgon did not expect that the dull Ming court would install spies on his side.

On 14 July, Kyaw Lo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu sent back news that the army had occupied Quang Binh and Dezhou Wei, and asked for advice. In the end, it is not to fight. The more Dorgon thought about it, the more depressed he became, as if he had just lifted his leg and had been kicked in the knee.

The 4,000-strong army left the city of Beijing with great vigor, and before even Beizhili came out, they were blocked by others. Didn't Ming Ting make any moves before? Isn't there also a soldier named Shi Kefa who wrote a letter to thank the Manchurian army for coming to expel the rebels? Why is it in such a precise position at such a precise time?

Do you want the 4,000 army to come back? How is the Ye Chen Department who entered the Jin Dynasty good? Taihang Bacheng, Handan is the entrance to guard Fukou, as long as the Ming army is willing, you can enter the Jin Dynasty at any time to the north. Attack Ye Chen in Datong. Hmm, there is still a question here, how many men and horses are in the Ming army!

"Pig-like Bahana! A pig-like stone pillar! Impotent! Rubbish! Do you still need to ask this king? Dorgon took out his anger on the two front-line commanders.

After Dolgon vented, he slowly lowered his head and looked at Song Hongye who was kneeling on the ground. This person was a petty official of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not follow Emperor Ming when he abandoned the capital. broke into Beijing and was promoted. When he fled, he surrendered. Nowadays for reuse. He shaved his head even more. It can be seen that this person is a villain who is dedicated to himself. There is no loyalty in the heart. If the Qing Dynasty wants to leave in the future, he will never follow.

Dolgon suddenly felt a little disgusted with such a villain, turned his head to look at the window, and then turned around again, with a bright smile on his face, and said in a friendly Chinese language: "You are the coat of the Aixing family?" ”

"Exactly that's right." Song Hongye heard that the Manchurians regarded "slave" as a term of endearment. expressed closeness, although I don't understand how someone is so willing to be lowly, even the eunuchs in the former palace refused to be called "slaves" after they had a bit of status...... However, under the fence, I have to follow the customs.

"Haha," Dorgon laughed. "It's a new one."

"Yes...... The king's eyes are like torches. Song Hongye responded.

"The king has spared you from slavery," said Dorgon, "and carry you into the white flag, do you understand?" ”

"Understood, the prince will be my master in the future!" Song Hongye secretly said in his heart: Didn't you say that only people who went to the Three Banners could enter the Internal Affairs Office?

Of course, Song Hongye didn't know that Dolgon had long had the intention to lower the positive blue flag from the upper three flags and make up for his own positive white flag. As long as he is in power, what can Hauge do even if he is angry in his heart? Besides, he is still guilty of sin.

"This king wants you to go to the Internal Affairs Office, did Ai Xinga tell you?" Dorgon asked.

Song Hongye said without hesitation: "Back to the master, I said it, it is the Department of Punishment." ”

Dolgon scolded secretly: This love star really can't hold the words in his mouth! It cannot be said lightly in the future.

"You don't have to take care of the chores in this house, you can concentrate on your own business." Dorgon said, "Let anyone ask for money, but come and tell the king." ”

"Yes." Song Hongye responded.

Dolgon waved his hand to him, and even after the summons were over, Song Hongye knelt down and refused to leave. In Dolgon's puzzled gaze, he said: "Master, the slave dares to ask the master for authorization to send secret agents to Shandong to inquire about the military situation for the master. ”

Dolgon was a little surprised, but now is the time to employ people, and it is rare for this person to have such a mind, and immediately ordered someone to give silver and silk, which is considered a reward.

Song Hongye didn't say much, and after thanking Dolgon, he withdrew from the palace, only to find that the clothes behind him were soaked.

……

Texas City.

"I drove 460 miles in two days, and the speed of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is really not slow." Zhu Cili stood on the city wall of Texas, looked at the laborers who were busy building the fortifications below, and sighed casually.

On 14 July, Tanma discovered that the Manchurian Blue Banner Army and the White Banner Han Army had entered Cangzhou City and stopped their march.

When these two groups were stationed in Cangzhou, Tanma and Neiying in Cangzhou City soon sent information on the number of troops: there were 2,000 soldiers in the Zhenglan Banner Manchuria and the Han Army in the Zhengbai Banner, and if you count the people and clothed soldiers brought along the road, the overall number was more than 10,000 [Note 1].

Zhu Cihong soon received another explanation of the military system of the Eight Banners: Gushan Ezhen was originally the commander of the First Banner and held the power of military and civil affairs. Later, Huang Taiji weakened the flag power and strengthened the imperial power, and Gushan Ezhen became a title between the lord and the officer. Up to now, Gushan Ezhen has been completely separated from the banner master, and he is just a middle-level general who has mastered the horse armor soldiers.

According to the Dongyu system, the soldiers and the people are one. It was not until the time of Huang Taiji that three main battalions were formed as standing troops. Among them, the most elite is naturally the Bayala battalion, each Niu Lu only selects seventeen people, each flag is two or three hundred, and the maximum is only six or seven hundred. This unit is not easy to kill on the battlefield, but only serves as the commander's personal guard and supervising team.

The Alichaoha battalion commanded by Gushan Ezhen is literally a vest battalion, but in fact it may not all be cavalry. It is only to indicate the rank, in which the composition of combat effectiveness is a mixed formation of horse infantry. As the main force of the Donglu after the Bayala battalion, this unit represents the normal combat effectiveness of the Dongyu.

As for Shi Tingzhu's Zhengbaiqi Han Army, it belonged to the heavy firepower of the Manchurians, equipped with Hongyi cannons and bird guns. This time, Shi Tingzhu brought two Hongyi cannons, one of which is said to have been cast in Liaodong.

"Jueluo Bahana is a man with a white flag, and he has brought a man with a blue flag, but Hauge, the owner of the blue flag, is idle." Zhu Cihong transferred this information about the inside of the Dongyu to You Shiwei and Xiao Mochuan to see, and said, "It can be seen that their rear is unstable. It may not be a lethal fight. ”

After reading it, the generals present thought for a moment.

You Shiwei got up and reported: "Your Highness, if our army besieges Cangzhou, it seems that the strength is insufficient. ”

The 1st Guards Battalion has 4,300 men, which is similar to the Dongyu South Route Army in terms of strength. However, the defenders have a tactical advantage, Cangzhou is not a remote city, and there are also moats and walls as high as more than two zhang. It is not an overnight thing to conquer such a city. And the Dongyu Brigade is in Gyeonggi. Among them, there are many cavalry, and they will definitely rush to Cangzhou.

"Your Highness." Xiao Mo said: "As long as our army holds this place for one day, the Beijing division will not be able to provide food for a day." The last general suggested that forts be built on the first line of Handan, Dezhou and Wudi. As long as there is another Lexia defense line, even if the 100,000 troops are exhausted, they may not be able to get benefits. ”

Zhu Cihong was silent, and said after a long time: "The Lexia defense line is the strength of our whole Shandong province. Plus Jiangnan craftsmen just created it. I'm worried that it's going to be hard to hold up such a line of defense. ”

Behind the miracle of Lexia, nearly 200,000 people were mobilized to pave the roads and quarryman. In order to effectively supervise these 200,000 people, there are also irregular overseers, reservists responsible for ammunition suppression and deterrence. In addition, there are more than 8,000 scholars as managers, all of whom are rare resources with a diploma of C or above.

Now east of Lexia, non-workers are farmers. Non-agricultural soldiers, the wealthy families have been almost uprooted, and commercial activities have almost come to a standstill.

To be able to tie such a large area and a large number of people to the chariot, not only must there be enough silver taels and food, but more importantly, they will not be able to escape. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, the remaining side is also a fortress line guarded by a large army, and once you escape, you will be sent to the labor camp to mine and quarry. This ensured that the human resources of the Shandong Peninsula could not be transferred out.

If this is done in Jinan, Dongchang, and Yanzhou, the people who are no longer accustomed to being managed by the imperial court will soon flee to places such as Nanzhili and Beizhili or Henan.

"Your Highness, I humbly request to speak." In the officer corps, a young captain stood out, who looked no more than his early twenties, and looked at Zhu Cihong with blazing eyes.

Among the murderous generals, the weak captain looked more like a scholar. He took a step forward and said again: "The logistics staff officer of the 1st Guards Battalion of the lowly guards Guan Pingzhou, please speak." ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Xiao Mo and saw that he had no objections, so he nodded.

"Your Highness," Guan Pingzhou said, "I think that the current plan can order the third battalion to take Shunde Mansion." If the eastern captives still hold their troops, they will continue to go north to capture Zhending Mansion. Further up you can also take Baoding Mansion! Baoding is only 250 miles away from Jingshi, and Dongyu has to move. As long as the eastern and southern armies move, our troops will go out of Texas, and they will form a north-south flank with the three battalions. ”

Zhu Cihong drew a map in his mind and shook his head slightly: "I want to ask first, why didn't you bring it up at the staff meeting?" (To be continued......)

PS: Note 1: This article does not deliberately reduce the number of the Dongyu South Route Army. In the original time and space, the Eastern Capture set the main enemy as Li Zicheng, and the suppression of bandits and surrender to Jinan and Shandong was more. Two thousand men and horses is the upper limit of the leading troops of Gushan Ezhen (Dutong), and further up it will need to be controlled by the general. As for the fact that Ye Chen was only sent to the west, it was because Li Zicheng's main force had withdrawn from Shanxi, and Jiang Liang, the general soldier of Datong, had already contacted the Manchus to surrender...... Uh, sorry, spoiler...... So, so be it, please continue to support ~~
