"Back to the prince, Yilan Xiao found the flying ball of the Ming army." He galloped back to the camp, knelt down in front of Zilharang, and reported aloud.

Zilharang frowned, muttered, and said secretly in his heart: Most of the Ming army got the news in advance and knew that our army was going to attack Haizhou from here. Alas, this matter has been made so top secret, how can it be leaked? As one of the regents, he knew that Dorgon liked to use the word "room". He was very supportive of this, because when the old Khan was effective, he knew everything about the affairs of the Beijing court.

But now that Nikan has learned to use the room, he is like a naked girl, and they can look wherever they want.

"Lord Wang, do you want to fight in a different place?" The staff member on the side asked tentatively.

Since returning from the Guannai, Zilharang has been feeling deeply unwell, and a cold has not been cured for a long time, and by this time it has consumed a lot of his mental and physical strength. Others may not be able to see it, but he himself knows very well that if he attacks Haizhou in another place, he may not be able to withstand the pain of this long-distance attack.

"What else to change? Let's fight right here! Zilharang said: "If the Nine Kings can't get news of us, I'm afraid that the military situation will be delayed." ”

Now Manchuria is waging war against the Ming army, and they are all trembling, like two naughty bags who do bad things, saying that they will go in and out together, and once they find that their partners have run away, they will never stop a step.

If the plan was changed on the spot, it was very likely that Dolgon's Eastern Route Army would think that he had fled and immediately withdraw. It is not easy to recruit once in the cold winter months, where can it withstand such a toss?

- If the Qing Dynasty could not win a big victory, the foundation laid by the old Khan and the first emperor would no longer exist.

Although it was only a strong attack before the Ming army was ready, delaying the speed of the Ming army's advance, its tragic nature was like a battle for the survival of the country. Zilharang was a little dizzy, and somehow a tear oozed out.

……

"If you win this battle. Won't the Ming army fight the capital again? Eleven-year-old Fulin has grown up rapidly under pressure, and has become more and more dissatisfied with listening to his mother's explanation of the outside situation, preferring to consult ministers such as Sony and Hong Chengchou directly.

At this moment, Sony, Qi Chongge, Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others stood in front of Fu Lin, hanging their heads, not knowing how to answer.

This made Fulin a little irritated. I don't know how to reverse the current situation, it seems that every day is a black cloud overhead. For this reason, he imitated the Ming Kingdom everywhere, even kept his hair up and forbade anyone to shave, and exempted the important ministers from kneeling, allowing them to stand and talk, but there was no turnaround.

Although he trusted Sonny Baksh the most, even Sonny suggested that he consult Hanchen, which shows that the first wise man of Manchuria has reached the point of desperation.

"Hong Chengchou, tell me." Fu Lin named Hong Chengchou's name.

"Your Majesty." Hong Chengchou swallowed. Secretly glanced at Sony, and saw that this treacherous and cunning old minister closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was asleep, and finally said: "According to the minister's opinion, Mo Ruo asks for peace." ”

Sony's body trembled slightly, but he still didn't open his eyes.

Qi Chongge looked sideways and was about to raise an objection, but he heard Fu Lin say like a little adult: "Mr. Hong plays carefully." ”

Hong Chengchou leaned over. Said: "Your Majesty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has been no less than 10,000 miles from west to east. From Beijing to Shengjing, it takes less than half a month and more than one month. The territory is so vast that it is no longer difficult to send officials to govern. Especially if the Ming army stays here for a long time, the consumption is so large, how can the treasury bear it? ”

"Since Mr. Hong knows. Why still ask for and! Qi Chongge shouted: "Since the Ming Dynasty can't stay for a long time, our dynasty only needs to stop it outside Shengjing, and they will eventually retreat back." Even if you don't retreat, you won't be able to attack Shengjing for a long time! ”

Fu Lin moved forward, obviously preferring Qi Chongge's statement.

"The key is that you can't keep Shengjing." Hong Chengchou hung his head. Said something that was extremely regrettable.

"I still have ...... in Manchuria," Qi Chongge was furious.

"What else?" Hong Chengchou interrupted Qi Chongge's shouting: "When I entered the customs, I collected the people's power in the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners drew two out of three, and the Han Army Banner drew one out of five, with a total of more than 70,000 armor soldiers, and nearly 100,000 clothed men, which is already the foundation of our dynasty." Coming back from the Guannai, the banners suffered heavy losses, and there were not enough rations, and they were affected by disasters year after year, this time the two regent levy an army of 60,000, which is already approaching the limit, what else to use to guard Shengjing? ”

"The elite soldiers of the Ming army are not inferior to my Bayala, and there are 30,000 of them. If you count their auxiliaries and civilian service, I am afraid it will be more than 200,000. Fan Wencheng reported the military strength of the Ming army, and he was panicked. If you only look at the number of elites in the Ming army, it seems to be less than half of the Qing army, but if you don't count the coat Aha in the Qing army, only the armor soldiers, the Ming army still has an advantage.

"You Han people are shaking the heart of my Qing army!" Qi Chongge scolded.

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The minister is dead." ”

Fu Lin turned around in his mind for a long time before he finished digesting the information just now, and said, "The two gentlemen are flat. ”

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng didn't dare to stand up, still kneeling on the ground.

Qi Chongge also knelt down and said, "Master! We can still defend Shenyang, and if Shenyang can't hold it, we can go to Ningguta! The Ming army is going to leave after all. Even if they don't leave, they will slowly become depressed, and at the end of the day, they will change back to their previous appearance. ”

I have to say that Qi Chongge's views are very in line with the law of development of things, which makes Hong Chengchou unable to refute it. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty still has a personal experience of this, the invincible Eight Banners Army before was depressed a few days after entering the customs.

In this dimly lit side hall, there is another person who can suppress Qi Chongge.

Sonny slowly opened his cloudy eyes, and his voice was still full of neutrality: "Master, if it is for the Qing Dynasty, we should guard Shengjing." If it is for the sake of Manchuria, we can only move north, even if it is to the East China Sea. "Sony's so-called East China Sea is on the coast of Heilongjiang in later generations, and even for Dongyu, it is the extreme east.

Fulin hesitated. Before the fall of Haizhou, he also consulted Sonny Bakshi, who at that time advocated holding on to Shenyang. He was puzzled: "Sony Bakshi, you said before that no matter where we flee, the Ming army will chase after us. ”

Sony's eyelids jumped and said, "Master, it's true." ”

"Shall we run away?"

"If you don't leave, there won't be a single Manchurian in twenty years." Sony said: "Haizhou was not lost that day, and it was easy to make peace but lost morale." Now that Haizhou has been lost, the southwest gate of Shengjing is wide open, which is not conducive to the defense of Shengjing. What's more, those who dared to speak Manchu and Mongolian in the places occupied by the Ming army were all questioned, and those who wore Manchu clothes were all beheaded. This is clearly breaking the foundation of our Manchurians. ”

Fu Lin blinked his eyes, and saw that Qi Chongge's forehead was exposed, and said loudly: "Can you escape?" ”

"It's better than being caught in the net." Sonny sighed.

Fu Lin didn't know what a miserable thing it was for Lu Dao to continue to go northeast, so he still pretended to be an old man and nodded: "I know Lu Dao." I asked the queen mother to know the way. Kneel down. ”

A group of people waited for this to bow and bowed again, and exited the side hall.

Qi Chongge went out of the door, glanced at everyone angrily, and strode away first. Sony stopped talking to Hong Chengchou, and finally just shook his head and left.

For a while, only Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng were left, both of them were Han, but they were opponents, and finally Hong Chengchou put down the shelf first, and said: "This time the two kings attacked Haizhou, winning is not enough to change the fortunes of the country, and if they lose, Shengjing will be difficult to defend again." ”

Fan Wencheng said: "Sony's eyes are like torches, perhaps as he said, he is going to move north to Ningguta." ”

"If you lose Shengjing, there are no mountains and rivers all the way to Ningguta, and you can't keep it."

"What do you mean?"

"This time, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Huining Mansion." Hong Chengchou sighed.

After Fan Wencheng turned around and found Nu'er to do local chronicles, he learned that the Huining Mansion of the Dao Dao was originally the Shangjing of the Wanyan clan of the Jin Dynasty, and it was more than a thousand miles away from Shengjing and Shenyang. In the past, I always felt that more than 1,000 miles was a distant and safe distance, but now I see that the Ming army is approaching step by step, and it is not far away.

If you can, I really want to be thousands of miles away from these Ming troops.

……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, Jierharang led the main army of the Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner and the Zhenglan Banner to attack Haizhou from the northwest of Haizhou. At the same time, Dolgon's army of two white flags and two red flags also appeared in the northeast of Haizhou.

Xiao Donglou lost Song Hongye's intelligence support, although he could not know the route of the army ten days and half a month in advance, but through the extensive dispatch of Tanma, as well as other channels of Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Department, he still had time to prepare.

Chang Zhifan is indeed unstoppable when the time comes, and a chance encounter made him discover the vanguard of the main force of the Zhenghuang Banner, which is the front of Jingyudun. The previously arranged protection force was immediately turned into an advanced reconnaissance force, and took the initiative to carry out a tentative attack, so that Zilharang thought that his whereabouts were exposed, so he could only give up the surprise attack and camp on the spot.

The main force of the Second Army, which arrived later, quickly took Jingyudun as the center, arranged the forward positions, arranged the logistics routes, and carried out all the work in an orderly manner in accordance with the drill code, and there was no need for Chang Zhifan to worry about it at all. Xiao Donglou also took advantage of the situation to arrange the Third Division as the main forward to conduct defensive operations against Zilharang.

Dolgon saw that Zilharan had stopped, and did not dare to go deeper alone. He knew the system of three battalions and three divisions of the Ming Army, and he also learned to look at the military flag and distinguish the establishment of the Ming Army through friction and inquiry. Now there is only news of one division of the Ming army from Zilharang's side, so it is self-evident where the other two divisions are, and they must have laid a trap waiting for them to step in.

The most rational way to do it is to return to the dynasty and stick to the territory south of Shengjing.

It's just that civil officials can be rational, but soldiers may not be rational.

What a humiliation it is to run around on the snowfields in the middle of winter, and retreat without a fight! (To be continued......)
