In the end, Dichen decided to give it a go.

But as soon as Abatai entered the city, he gave Di Chen a slap in the face, pointed at Di Chen's nose and scolded: "Bastard minion, seeing that our army is frustrated on the front line, why don't you rush to reinforcements?" ”

Abatai's words were, of course, unreasonable.

Ordering the Emperor Chen's Ministry to guard Yangzhou was an order issued by Duoduo himself. The battle of Jianye happened at night again, Yangzhou and Jianye were separated by a hundred miles, and even if Emperor Chen wanted to rescue, it was too late.

Abatai is the wretched anger of defeat, and he completely vented it on Di Chen.

Emperor Chen also has a temper. To Duoduo, Emperor Chen was quite polite, but in the face of Abatai, he didn't have a good face, and said in a deep voice: "Keep your mouth clean." ”

"Good minion, dare to talk back?!" Abatai followed suit and blew up.

If Emperor Chen swallows his anger, Abatai may be exposed, and it will be enough to vent on his lips. But Dichen's attitude completely angered Abatai.

Since the Qing army entered the customs, no Han Chinese dared to talk to them like this.

Abatai subconsciously said: "Come on, drag this dog slave down, and reward him with thirty whips!" ”

"No!"

Abatai's own soldiers were about to come forward to capture Emperor Chen.

"Who dares?!"

Lian Po, who was standing behind Emperor Chen, roared angrily, "brushed", and immediately rushed in a team of Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army. In the blink of an eye, Abatai and his own soldiers were surrounded.

Both sides immediately became tense.

When Abatai saw this, his face changed, and he remembered that there were 100,000 Inhuman legions stationed in Yangzhou City right now. On the other hand, the Qing army only had 50,000 remnants left.

If the fight really starts, the Qing army is afraid that it will be completely defeated.

But if it doesn't work out like this, Abatai's face is a little unbearable, and he is in a dilemma for a while, and his face is flushed. Compared to Dord, Abatai was still too tender and impulsive.

From beginning to end, Di Chen's face was expressionless and very calm.

Seeing Abatai's embarrassed expression, Di Chen said, "You have to remember that I came to cooperate with your army, not your minion. As long as I want, none of you can get out of Yangzhou City today. ”

"What do you want?" Abatai is still hard-mouthed.

Di Chen shook his head amusedly, "It's not what I want, but what the enemy wants." Seeing that the Ming army is about to fight, we are still fighting infighting, what's the point? I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. ”

Seeing this, Abatai hurriedly walked down the steps and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Withdraw!"

Emperor Chen's words were concise and to the point, "Yangzhou City can't be defended, how to make a decision, you have to report to the regent." ”

"Good!"

Abatai nodded in response, and the resentment in his heart did not really dissipate.

After the coordination, the Emperor Dust Department and the Abatai Department did not stop at all, and evacuated Yangzhou in a gloomy manner. No wonder Emperor Chen is in a hurry, once Guo Ziyi's department blocks their way north, they won't be able to go if they want to.

…………

With the withdrawal of the Qing army from Yangzhou City, the whole battle ushered in the second phase.

Li Jing was steady, and after leading his troops to enter Yangzhou City, he did not rush north, but cooperated with Guo Ziyi's troops to completely level the Jianghuai Valley, recover the lost territory, and protect the safety of Jianye.

After taking Jianghuai, the Ming army had the capital and foundation to wage an all-out war with the Qing army.

On the thirteenth day of the battle, it was learned that the Southern Ming army not only recovered Yangzhou City, but also leveled the Jianghuai region in one fell swoop and annihilated the main force of the Qing army.

The two sides agreed: "After three days, we will officially march north." ”

…………

Yanjing.

The defeat of the Dorgon gave Dorgon a head start.

Different from history, in the battle map, after the destruction of Dashun, in addition to the 100,000 troops of the Duoduo Department and the 50,000 troops of the Abatai Department, the Qing Dynasty still had a full 400,000 troops stationed in the entire northern territory.

The composition of the Qing army was relatively complex.

The most elite is the Eight Banners Army, which can be divided into the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The Manchu Eight Banners were dominated by Manchu cavalry, about 50,000 people. The Mongolian Eight Banners were Mongolian cavalry, also around 50,000 people.

As for the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they included Wu Sangui's army, as well as the former Ming army that subsequently surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which was about 150,000 people.

The last part was the Qing army's sweep of the north, and the captured puppet soldiers and prisoners of war, including the Dashun army.

Except for the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mengba Eight Banners, the rest of the 300,000 troops had their own hidden dangers, so Dolgon did not arrange for the army to go south, but stayed in the north for reorganization.

But I can't do so much at the moment.

Dolgon still saw it very thoroughly, and he knew that the Qing army, with less than 150,000 elites, controlled the entire situation, and it was really like walking on thin ice.

If the war goes well, then everything is easy to say, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will only become more and more stable.

But once the war does not go well, let the enemy spy on the weaknesses of the Qing army, and if one is not good, it will trigger a chain reaction and bury the entire Qing Dynasty.

The fall of the Duoduo was probably such a trigger.

The Gaindordo Department was the absolute main force of the Qing army, and 50,000 of the 100,000 troops were cavalry of the Eight Banners.

is such an elite division, but it was hit outside Jianye City and was defeated by the Nanming Inhuman Legion, which completely exposed the weakness of the Qing army.

Compared to the 100,000 troops who died in battle, this is the deadliest.

"It's hard!"

Dorgon was at a loss for a moment.

At first, Dorgon feared that the Emperor's Dust would leave the Qing Dynasty first, which would be fatal.

The strength of the Inhuman Legion has been fully confirmed in the Battle of Jianye, and the more times like this, the more precious the 100,000 troops under the command of Emperor Chen.

Fortunately, the next news made Dolgon quietly relieved.

The Emperor Chen Department did not give up the Qing Dynasty, but even with a great mind, after being humiliated by Abatai, he still made a rational judgment, decisively gave up Yangzhou City, and led his troops to the north.

After receiving the news, Dolgon specially asked for a special order to praise the Emperor Dust Department and give him a commendation.

Dolgon was furious when he reprimanded Abatai severely, "Abatai, this idiot, almost missed a big thing, how could it be that Duoduo who died that night, not this idiot!" ”

Dorgon is already preparing to seize Abatai's right to lead troops, which can be regarded as a placation for Emperor Chen.

That's all it takes to deal with smart people.

Dichen's "good intentions" were finally rewarded, and taking the opportunity of Dolgon's overtures, Dichen made a small request, asking for a personal token and a letter from Emperor Shunzhi.

With these two things, when the battle is over, no matter which Qing emperor enters Kyoto, he will owe Emperor Chen a great favor.

That way, something works better.

At this point, no matter what the final outcome of this battle is, Emperor Chen has already achieved his goal. This also means that before the decisive battle begins, he is already invincible.

Such forbearance and calculation are indeed admirable.
