When he said this, Wu Sangui didn't want to say anything more, and the two tacitly went back separately.

Wu Sangui returned to the army and ordered all troops and horses to strengthen their defenses to resist the surprise attack of the Fusang.

On the same night, Dolgon led a thousand banners of Zhenghuang Banner to Wu Sangui's military camp, Wu Sangui saw Dolgon coming to the military camp, and hurriedly knocked on Dolgon, and Dolgon kindly helped him up.

As the regent, Dolgon was eloquent and strategic, and after making up his mind to attack Huguang, he quickly made military adjustments, and once again won over the surrendered Ming army marquis.

Dolgon said to him: "This king is about to go south to Huguang, you are the vanguard, and after the matter is completed, the earth will be torn and the marquis will be sealed." ”

With a move from Dolgon, Wu Sangui's rebellious heart was instantly extinguished.

Dolgon gave him five days to prepare for battle, and then led his army to Runing Mansion in Henan, from which he went south to Huguang, and captured Huangzhou Mansion in the first battle, laying the foundation for the Qing army to gain a foothold in Huguang.

"Regent, who will be stationed in this Baoding Mansion?"

"This king is free to arrange, you can go south as much as you want, and attack the city for the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Sangui gladly accepted, mobilized in the army the next day, and five days later Dolgon ordered Haoge to garrison Beizhili, he led 200,000 banner soldiers, green battalion soldiers to the south of Runing Mansion, rested in Runing Mansion for a few days, and went south to Huguang Huangzhou Mansion.

Jiang Tianyi's troops were stationed in Huangzhou Mansion, Jiang Tianyi wanted to resist the attack of Zheng Zhilong's troops, and the main forces were placed in the east of Huangzhou Mansion.

It's just that his troops are insufficient, and he finally gathered 6,000 soldiers to enter the fortress group, and in the face of the attack of the Qing army, the northern fortress group did not resist for long, and was captured by the Qing army.

After the Qing army captured the fortress group, they did not stay too long, and went straight to the south of Huangzhou Mansion to kill.

Hurriedly asked Jiang Tianyi to retreat to the south of Huguang and join Jiang Jiu, who was stationed in the south of Huguang.

Jiang Tianyi wanted to stick to the end in Huangzhou Mansion, but he couldn't stand His Majesty's surprise three times a day, so he had to hurriedly take Hongguang Junchen and go south under the escort of 6,000 Huangzhou Mansion soldiers and went straight to Wuchang Mansion.

The Qing army easily captured Huangzhou Mansion, and Dolgon was full of confidence

Man, thinking that the Ming army in Jiangnan was still a group of waste, he ordered Boluo to lead the army to the east to attack De'an Fu, Ao Bai to lead the army to the west to attack the northern part of Jiangxi, and Wu Sangui continued to pursue Hongguang to the south, trying to conquer the entire Huguang region at one time, so that the population and land controlled by the Qing army would increase exponentially.

The top of the Qing army was also full of confidence, and the decay of being defeated by the Fusang army was swept away, but the Qing army's first battle against Jiangxi was defeated.

Ao Bai led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiujiang Mansion in Jiangxi, and Zheng Zhilong's division was stationed in Jiujiang Mansion, and there were not many soldiers and horses, only more than 5,000 people, but Zheng Zhilong was not worried about the Qing army's attack.

Because in the north of Jiangxi there is the Dutch Fifth Corps garrisoned.

The 30,000 Qing troops arrived at the foot of Jiujiang City, and before the battle, Ao Bai had also heard that Zheng Zhilong had formed an ally with the Dutch.

However, he stubbornly believed that the Dutch would not sincerely support Zheng Zhilong, and besides, the main Dutch army was fighting fiercely in Guangdong and Lingjingyang, and he was confident that he would capture the northern part of Jiangxi, and connect the northern part of Jiangxi, the southern part of Hunan, and some parts of Beizhili, and the Qing army would become the largest force in the Central Plains.

After the Ao Bai soldiers came to the city, they opened the offensive momentum and forced the Zheng army to surrender, the Zheng army was not afraid of death, and went out of the city to meet the Qing army.

He had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Zheng's army only had more than 5,000 people, and he went out of the city to face the battle, and he didn't know how to lose?

The Qing army attacked very sharply, after the forward army launched an attack, the Zheng army suddenly withdrew, the Dutch 5th Infantry Regiment was hidden behind the Zheng army, the Zheng army withdrew to both sides, and the 5th Infantry Regiment would use rifles to serve the Qing army.

When the Dutch rifle emitted a unique sound of gunfire, Ao Bai thought of the tragic memory of the Qing army being slaughtered by the Fusang army, the Qing soldiers who were attacking were knocked to the ground in pieces, after the Dutch fired, they deliberately stopped shooting, the Qing army thought that the Dutch was loading ammunition, and once again launched a charge, who knew that the Dutch army bombarded the Qing army with breech guns.

The artillery of the Qing army barely played any role before it was blown into parts, and the charging team was crushed by a hail of bullets.

After Ao Bai saw this, he was forced to order a retreat, although the front accounted for more soldiers and horses and lost little, but the morale was devastated, the Dutch army and the Zheng army launched a pursuit, the Qing army was defeated, the blood flowed like a river, Ao Bai led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to withdraw

Huangzhou Mansion.

After reporting to Dolgon that the attack on Jiangxi had failed, Dolgon was furious and asked him why he had failed.

Ao Bai was slightly frightened, not that the soldiers were not brave enough, but that there were Dutch troops stationed in Jiangxi.

For the first time, he felt a deep sense of fear, how could the Fuso and the Dutch have such powerful weapons?

Dolgon is also a hero, and his mind is swirling around how to deal with the Fusang, Zheng Zhilong, and the Dutch.

In order to befriend Zheng Zhilong, Dolgon ordered the Aobai army to withdraw to the central area of Huangzhou Prefecture, and made a posture of unfortified Huangzhou Mansion and northern Jiangxi.

He also asked Hong Chengchou to send an envoy to the Longwu Imperial Court, explaining that the attack on Jiujiang Mansion was to completely eliminate the Hongguang Imperial Court, and did not want to conflict with the Longwu Imperial Court, and in order to apologize, the Qing army would lead the army to continue to pursue the Hongguang Imperial Court.

The Qing army was soft in front of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong burst out with infinite pleasure, he used 70,000 miscellaneous soldiers to fool the Qing army, so that the Qing army mistakenly thought that he was really to vote, and gave Zheng Zhilong the title of official and knight, and sent silver and grain and grass, who would have thought that Zheng Zhilong would form an army called Huazi, splash skin, and mad people in Fujian, and send them to Shandong to throw them to the Qing army, and then use the trick to quietly return to Fujian, leading the Fujian elite troops to attack Nanzhili, and driving the Hongguang court to the Huguang area to survive.

He wished that the Qing army would continue to pursue the Hongguang court, and Hong Chengchou demanded that the Qing army execute the generals who attacked Jiujiang Mansion, and then compensate the Longwu court with 50,000 taels of gold and 2 million taels of silver.

These demands were agreed to by Dolgon one by one, desperately searching the place, reluctantly giving the gold and silver to Zheng Zhilong, and ordered to kill a Eight Banners Niu Lu who escaped from the battle, and declared to the outside world that this person did not obey the military order, privately led the army to attack Jiangxi, and sent Niu Lu's head to Congshan Pass, and finally reached a peace agreement with Zheng Zhilong.

After stabilizing Zheng Zhilong, the Qing army's focus was on Wu Sangui and Boluo, Bolo led an army of 50,000 to attack westward, and successively captured dozens of prefectures and counties in the north of Huguangxi.

Dolgon thought about it for a night, and finally accepted Hong Chengchou's suggestion, but he asked the surrendered Ming troops and officials to shave their hair, and the people everywhere did not need to shave their hair for the time being, but they still had to shave their hair in the future, which was the purpose of Dolgon's heart, and it was also a symbol of the Qing Dynasty's conquest of various places.
