"The Qinwang army of the Ming State is coming from all over the country, and the first Ming army in Shaanxi to arrive has more than 15,000 generals."

"Lu Xiangsheng, the Xuanda governor of the Ming State, gathered troops and horses from Beizhili to follow our army all the way, and there were tens of thousands of Liao troops led by Gao Qiqian, the Ming State's supervisory army, in Hejian Mansion in the east."

Dolgon's gaze swept over the generals in the tent, and finally stopped on Yue Tuo's body for a while.

Yue Tuo's expression was still as indifferent as before, as if everything he had just said had nothing to do with it.

Yue Tuo's relationship with Huang Taiji is quite close, and his relationship with him can only be said to be average.

Yue Tuo is Dai Shan's eldest son, and his biological mother is Dai Shan's grandson Fu Jin Li Jia.

However, due to the early death of Li Jia's family, Dai Shan and his successor, the Fujin Yehenara clan, were very mean to Yue Tuo and his younger brother Shuo.

Later, it was precisely because of this incident that Daishan angered Nurhachi, and Daishan was even abolished as the successor.

Yue Tuo was later raised by Nurhachi under the knee of Huang Taiji's biological mother, Menggu Zhezhe.

Yue Tuo and Huang Taiji can also be regarded as growing up together, so they have a great relationship.

Although a few years ago, Yue Tuo was deprived of Baylor's position for the crime of rudeness, demoted to Beizi, and fined 5,000 taels of silver.

However, Huang Taiji reinstated his position as Baylor after beating Yue Tuo, and after this incident, Yue Tuo became much more stable.

With the success of the Ming Dynasty and the prestige of conquering the Mongol tribes, Huang Taiji's power is now expanding more and more.

Yue Tuo has also become the de facto banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner, controlling the affairs of the Zhenghongqi, and this time he was even appointed as the general of Yangwu to command the right-wing army.

Dolgon withdrew his gaze, and when he was leaving, Huang Taiji was probably asking Yue Tuo something.

Since entering the customs, Yue Tuo has not once competed with him for the command of the army.

Thinking of this, Dolgon's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, Huang Taiji now controlled most of the Eight Banners.

The Mongol tribes, as well as the Han Chinese who had surrendered, were now gathered around Huang Taiji.

Huangtaiji set up the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner, which divided a lot of power from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and also divided a lot of military strength.

The distance between him and Huang Taiji is constantly widening.

Although Huang Taiji still abides by the policy of the Eight Kings handed down by the old Khan, with the retirement of Dai Shan, in fact, the current Huang Taiji is about to be completely arbitrary.

The grievances between him and Huang Taiji are not something that can be explained in an instant.

Although for such a long time, he has been in Taoguang and has done a lot of dirty work for Huang Taiji.

Dai Shan's retreat, Yue Tuo was demoted, and now Huang Taiji has the sole power because of his contributions.

But it is useless to have credit, and Dorgon is well aware of Huang Taiji's character.

In front of power, even if it is a brother, it is of no use.

The three major Baylors, Azig, and Yueto, these people are all lessons from the past.

All the obstacles that stood in the way of that monstrous power were inevitably swept away.

Dorgon was well aware that Huang Taiji had set his sights on the two white flags under his command and that of his brother Dordor.

Now that six of the Eight Banners have been held by Huang Taiji, the original rules of the Eight Kings have long been in vain.

The current Huang Taiji is actually waiting for him to make a mistake and wait for him to fail, but he has no way now.

Dorgon's heart was depressed, and Huang Taiji held him high, and he looked trustworthy and famous.

But it's all just what it seems......

Huang Taiji is just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to take over the two white flags logically......

"The soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom are on the side, although it is simple for our army to break through Shandong, but after returning with a lot of money, it will be necessary to divide the troops to defend at that time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to return the whole division."

Dorgon forcibly suppressed his discontent, his voice muffled.

The Ming army in Liaodong is still the same as before, but the armies in other parts of the Ming kingdom are changing.

The combat strength of the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu and Datong under Lu Xiangsheng was much stronger than when they last entered.

Not only in terms of armament, but also in terms of morale.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, they destroyed the pass for the first time, and the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Datong did not dare to go out of the city to fight them.

They went out from the Dushikou on the border of the Ming Kingdom in three ways, and they would be in Yanqingzhou, Gyeonggi, as if no one was there.

Ravaging all over the country, attacking the castle, connecting the twelve cities, fifty-six battles of all sizes, all victorious!

He plundered 179,820 people and animals, and returned them through the cold water mouth.

At that time, the main force of the Ming army only dared to follow from afar, and did not dare to fight with them at all.

And this time when they entered again, the situation at the beginning was the same as at the beginning, and the battalions in Jizhou Town were still vulnerable and invincible.

It's just that when they went all the way south to Changping, they began to encounter frequent attacks by the Ming army, which made Dolgon have to order the troops and horses to gather, and did not dare to divide the troops easily.

Then under the city of Beijing, the three organized attacks were all frustrated, and finally in the battle of Xizhimen in the city of Beijing, the Ming army even broke the army formation with red flags on the right flank.

The red flag folded a Niu Lu Ezhen, with thousands of casualties before and after, and the more than ten artillery pieces he deployed on the right flank as support also became the trophies of the Ming army.

After the first battle of Qingdu, thousands of people were folded, counting the previous battles in Shunyi, all flags had losses and complaints.

This time in Zhending, Chasuka was even more defeated, the Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the army also fell, and nearly half of the casualties of the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner accompanying the battle.

Dolgon looked slightly sideways at Wu Lai, who was sitting on the right side, when Chasuka withdrew his troops, he let the Mongolian cavalry who accompanied him as the palace army, and used it as cannon fodder.

However, these grievances were not enough to become a divide, and only three of the eight Mongol banners were Mongols, and the other five were all Manchurians.

Although Wu Lai is now the Gushan Ezhen of the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner, his own flag is still inlaid with yellow flags and is a person from Huangtaiji.

Instead of speaking in a hurry, Dorgon turned his gaze back to Yueto, who was sitting beside him, and asked.

"Now that the situation is quite critical, I don't know if General Yangwu has a strategy to deal with it?"

While Dorgon asked, Yueto was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.

Hearing the inquiry, Yue Tuo did not answer first, but took a sip of tea first, and then put down the teacup in his hand without hurry, and then spoke slowly.

"I agree with the opinion of the general who ordered it, the Ming army is now more and more daring to fight, which is not a good thing for my Qing Dynasty......"

“…… If the threat of the Ming army is not resolved, our army will be plundered, and it may be difficult to transport it out of the customs. ”

"The general is ordered to find an opportunity to destroy one of the three Ming armies first?"

As for Dolgon's thoughts, Yue Tuo never knew that he would naturally not follow Dolgon's words and really come up with a strategy, but said some dispensable nonsense, and then threw the problem back to Dolgon.

Huang Taiji's arrangement, Yue Tuo is naturally clear, this kind of moment is the need to let Dolgon take the idea.

All the blame for losing can be attributed to Dorgon, but the credit for winning is equally divided, so why not?

However, in the current situation, there is naturally no possibility of losing.

Although the Ming army dared to fight more than a few years ago, but what about daring to fight, the Ming Kingdom had decayed from its foundation, and it was not something that could be saved by one or two strong armies.

Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yue Tuo said a lot of nonsense, although he could continue to play Tai Chi and throw the question back, but he would definitely not be able to ask any of the answers he wanted.

"Now in the land of Beizhili, there are three Ming armies in formation."

Dolgon didn't talk nonsense with Yue Tuo anymore, and directly took out the courage of the lord of the army.

"One is the Liaodong Army led by Gao Qiqian, the Ming State Supervisor, the other is the Xuan Army led by Lu Xiangsheng, the Governor of the Ming State, and finally the Shaanxi Army led by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi of the Ming State."

"Gao Qiqian can't understand the military strategy, and most of the troops under his command are border troops in Liaodong, so there is no need to worry."

In fact, the current situation is already very clear, they and the Liaodong Army are old opponents, they know the roots, and they are not afraid at all.

Moreover, they fought in Beizhili, not Liaodong, and the Liaodong Army did not have much will to fight at all.

If they fight the castle in Liaodong, the Liaodong army will really fight with them.

"In fact, there are only two armies in Shaanxi and Xuanda that are dangerous to us."

Dolgon looked around at the generals in the tent and said slowly.

"The Shaanxi army is the Qinwang army, and the soldiers under its command are mainly composed of Hanzhong Town, Yansui Town, and Lintao Town, which are the towns in the northwest border of the Ming Kingdom.

"And the Datong soldiers and Xuanfu soldiers under the command of Lu Xiangsheng are on the border of the southern part of my Qing Dynasty, and they get along with my Qing Dynasty day and night."

Dorgon raised his right hand and tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair.

"Lu Xiangsheng has a martial name, since he was appointed as the governor of Xuanda in the first year of Chongde, the Ming army in the two towns of Xuanda began to become stronger and stronger."

In addition to these channels, those merchants who secretly crossed the border wall to trade with the Qing court also brought a large amount of news to the Qing court.

The town soldiers of Xuanfu and Datong can be said to have changed under their noses, and Dolgon is naturally aware of this.

The threat that Lu Xiangsheng can bring in the future is greater than that of Sun Chuanting.

Moreover, the detective reported that the vanguard of the Shaanxi Army stationed in Zhending had already set up camp and headed north, and should be preparing to go north to Baoning Mansion.

Lu Xiangsheng led the Xuan army all the way south and arrived in Zhending.

For some of the rules and regulations of the Ming court, Dolgon even knew more than ordinary Ming officials.

The autonomy of the Qin Wangjun of the Ming State was very small, and their emperor ordered them to rush wherever they wanted, and if they wanted to transfer the station, they had to go to the top first, and they could only transfer after the approval was granted.

Sun Chuanting went north to Boryeong Mansion, mostly because he received the will to enter Boryeong.

If they want to eat this Shaanxi army under Sun Chuanting, then they need to go north to Baoning again and return home.

And if they attack Sun Chuanting, then Lu Xiangsheng, who is in the southwest at this time, will never sit idly by, and will inevitably rush to help, and then they will face not only the 15,000 people under Sun Chuanting's command, but also the Xuan army led by Lu Xiangsheng.

If they are at a disadvantage in the war, the Liaodong Army in the east at this moment will never let go of this good opportunity to snatch military merits.

So......

The best choice is for Lu Xiangsheng, who is now stationed in Zhending.

Without the will of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Sun Chuanting, who had already gone north at this time, could not go south to help, and at this time, Gao Qiqian, who was stationed in the east, would probably only watch from the wall......

Some time ago, there was news from Boryeong Mansion that the army under the command of Lu Xiangsheng had been cut off for three days, and there was a mutiny just a little bit, which caused a stir in Boryeong.

Regarding what is happening inside the Ming Court now, Dolgon actually knows some inside information, and Lu Xiangsheng is now ostracized within the Ming Court, and he naturally knows it.

Lu Xiangsheng was a staunch main battle faction in the Ming court, and chased them all the way from Beijing to Baoning, and fought with them several times.

But now the powerful ministers of the Ming court are biased towards peace, and all signs show that the Ming court is unwilling to break out a big war with them, and only wants to drive them out of the pass.

If this person is not removed, in a few years, Xuanfu and Datong Town will inevitably take on a new look, and then they will not be able to find a chance to go south again.

Dorgon looked up at the obedient generals.

He and Huang Taiji have many of the same ideas, but one thing is different.

Huang Taiji wanted to make peace with the Ming court, so that he could free up his hands to rectify the Mongol tribes that had not yet surrendered.

Huang Taiji is old, people are old, and his heart is also old, although Huang Taiji is only forty-seven years old now, Huang Taiji's body has deteriorated a little over the years.

Although Huang Taiji tried his best to hide, all of this was still seen by Dolgon.

As his body deteriorated, Huang Taiji, who had great ambition in the past, began to slowly disappear.

Huang Taiji's eyes and energy are now mostly on the grassland, and it seems that he only wants to be the co-master of the grassland tribes, rather than in the south, in the Central Plains, to be the emperor of the world......

The Ming Kingdom was so big that it would take months to get from south to north.

is so big that even if Salhu lost more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the first battle, there are still a large number of elite soldiers.

It is so big that even if there are internal and external troubles, the court is rotten, and the natural disasters have lasted for more than ten years, they still have not collapsed.

Even now, it has shown a momentum of resurgence.

If the Ming Kingdom is prosperous, it will definitely go on a large-scale northern expedition.

Throughout the millennium, as long as the Han people in the south prospered and strengthened, almost the first thing they did was the Northern Expedition.

The establishment of the Ming Kingdom was to stand on the ruins of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and they went all the way to the northern expedition to the fishing sea, ploughing the court and sweeping the caves, until the Yuan court was completely disintegrated.

The former Mongol Empire spanned tens of thousands of miles.

They rode their horses and conquered all the lands they could see, and defeated all the enemies they saw.

It wasn't until their Great Khan died at the foot of the Diaoyu Castle that the Mongol Empire stopped its frenzied expansion and was divided.

Although the Ming Kingdom eliminated the Yuan Court, it had no way to eliminate the Mongol tribes scattered throughout the world.

The war between the Mongols and the Ming lasted for hundreds of years, and they were already familiar with each other, and there were a large number of Mongols in the Ming army, and there were also a large number of Han Chinese among the Mongol tribes.

For a long time, a delicate balance was maintained between the Mongols and the Ming kingdoms.

The Jurchens are the variable that upsets this balance.

The Ming State could tolerate the existence of the Mongols, but the Ming State would never tolerate the growth of the Jurchens.

Although nearly a hundred years have passed since the old incident of Chenghua Plough Court, Dolgon has not forgotten it.

There is a bitter hatred hidden in the eyes of those Ming people, once the Ming Kingdom is restored, it will not be long before those Ming people who live in the south will pick up their swords, put on armor and shout for the restoration of the land and the Northern Expedition.

Launch another battle of the Plough Court that is thousands of times bloodier than the Chenghua years.
