Shunyi City.

On the ground of the main hall is a large map, covering most of the Nine Sides and the Central Plains.

Dorgon read a long list of lists, and Sukh Saha bent over his waist and marked them with a pen of red and black.

"In the second half of the month, Cangzhou, Qingyun, Dezhou, Wucheng, and Qinghe were broken, killing more than 1,700 thieves and rebels, recruiting officials, 17 generals, and 63 gentry, 97,000 strong men and women, 3,090 large animals, and 47,00.......0 sheep.

Jiyang, Wuding, Potai, Linqing, Dongchang........ A total of 17 cities feared the might of the Qing army, and each offered grain, grass, livestock, gold and silver, a total of 240,000 stone of rice and grain, 4,000 head of livestock, 3500 mules and horses, 7,000 taels of gold, and 270,000 taels of silver. ”

Sukh Saha is constantly marked, and Zhili and the northern part of Shandong, either black or red, have been connected.

Dorgon nodded slightly: "Although Azig is a little reckless, Nikan and the others are all smart people, and what they have gained in this half month is more than in the previous month and a half." ”

In the Battle of Qinghe, the Manchus and Dashun successively changed their strategies.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty went from destroying the main force of Dashun and entering the Central Plains to grabbing the west, and with the passage of time, its strategy became more and more perfect. Dolgon forbade the plundering of the two state capitals of Yongping and Zunhua, which were close to the border walls of Jiliao, and instead began to send officials, garrison troops, and appease the localities.

The rest of the places were all plundered, and Azig led a total of 40,000 Mongolian cavalry and eight banners to the south in two ways. Dashun also changed his strategy and sent the main cavalry force into Shanxi to create trouble for the Qing army through the Taihang Eight Mountains.

After several encounters with the Dashun army, Azig and other high-level Manchu Qing leaders reacted quickly, concentrating the main cavalry force close to Shanxi, shifting the focus of plundering to the east and south of Zhili, and entering Shandong.

Azig conquered several cities in succession, slaughtered recalcitrant cities, and appeased those who surrendered voluntarily. Such a combination of soft and hard made the gentry in many places take the initiative to contact the Qing army and offer money, food, mules and horses in order to protect themselves, and Azig did not refuse, so that more and more were obtained from this operation.

"Sukh Saha, what's the situation in Yongping Mansion?" Dorgon asked.

Sukh Saha said: "The slave has traveled all over Yongping and Jizhou during this time, the local terrain is really gentle, if you hold it, you can only defend the city, it is easy to be surrounded by the Shun army, if you can't get Liaoxi, it is better to guard a few cities and strongholds on the border wall." ”

The Manchu Qing strategy changed from entering the Central Plains to grabbing the west, which meant that sooner or later it was necessary to withdraw from the side wall, but Dolgon and other high-level officials believed that the Dashun army was so capable of fighting than the Ming army, and if it could not be arranged well, it would be difficult to enter the border wall again in the future, so Dolgon proposed that the Qing army could retreat, but it was necessary to guard the border wall city of Jizhen to facilitate future access.

The non-plundering of the two state capitals of Jizhou and Yongping is also for this consideration.

Just then, Dordor walked in quickly.

"Aren't you sick, Dordor, why do you still get out of bed and walk around? Look at you, what a white face has become! Dorgon immediately took Dordor by his arms, sat down on the side, and handed him his hot tea.

Duoduo was not satisfied, looked at the red, red, black and black on the map, and said: "Azig is so capable, the gains in this half month are really not small." ”

Dolgon laughed and said, "Our brother, although his political mind is simpler, his ability to fight a war is not small. He wrote to him that if he was given two more months, the entire Zhili would be robbed. ”

"I have better news for you," said Dordor. ”

Seeing that Duoduo was looking around, Dolgon waved his hand to retreat, leaving only Suke Saha, and Duoduo said: "The guard of Shanhaiguan Gaodi has contacted us and wants to hand over Shanhaiguan in exchange for wealth and glory. ”

"That's great news. But why didn't he look for it before, but now he comes to find it, is there any conspiracy. Dorgon pondered for a moment, then hesitated.

Duoduo said: "I asked in many ways, it may be related to Wu Sangui.

Do you know why Wu Sangui neither voted for our Qing Dynasty nor for the thieves? ”

It stands to reason that after the first battle of Yanggezhuang, the Qing Dynasty obviously had the upper hand, and Azig broke the reinforcements of the Dashun South Road in the south of Zhili, which laid the foundation for the victory, and Wu Sangui, who had been looking forward to it, should also switch to the Qing Dynasty at this time.

You must know that the conditions given by the Manchu Qing Dynasty are not low, and Wu Sangui is crowned king, located at the head of the Han Dynasty, with a separate banner, and the same as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and Liaoxi as its domain. The only requirement was for Wu Sangui to hand over Shanhaiguan, but for this reason, the Manchu Qing were willing to hand over all Jinzhou to Wu Sangui as compensation.

"I don't believe that the thief can give a higher price, and he Wu Sangui may not have the courage." Dorgon shook his head.

Duoduo said with a smile: "What Wu Sangui wants is half the world. ”

When Dolgon heard this, he laughed: "Who, Wu Sangui? With his 50,000 Liao soldiers, he dared to share half of the world with the thieves, he was crazy. ”

Duoduo waved his hand and said, "These days, Wu Sangui has done a lot of great things. Chongzhen died, and there was a king of Lu in Nanjing, who let his father Wu Xiang lead the troops to support him, and the latest news is that Wu Sangui was named the Duke of Jiguo, and his father Wu Xiang became the Duke of Liao.

Recently, I have been busy bringing the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the flowers. ”

"Want to be Cao Cao?" Dorgon asked, narrowing his eyes. Then he said, "Dordor, where did you get this information?" ”

"Part of it is from the Gaodi side, and part of it is from the Nanjing side." Duoduo said with a smile.

"I don't believe you can send spies to Nanjing." Dorgon shook his head, he felt a cold wind blowing in, and hurriedly closed the window to prevent his brother from getting cold again.

"I don't have that ability," said Dodor. It was Shi Kefa, the military secretary of the Nanjing Imperial Court, who sent someone to tell him about the situation in Jiangnan. This Shi Kefa is also a wonderful person, and he wants us to send troops to govern Wu Sangui and trap Liao Zhen in western Liao, so as to prevent him from really becoming Cao Cao.

On the other hand, he made a lot of nonsense, saying that he would unite with the Qing Dynasty and exterminate the thieves, which was similar to Wu Sangui's words about prevaricating us. ”

When Dorgon heard this, he said excitedly, "What else did the messenger say?" ”

Duoduo said that he knew, but the more he said, the more excited Dolgon became, Duoduo quickly closed his mouth, and Dolgon said, "Also, what is the result of the Zheng family in Fujian?" ”

Duoduo said, "Dolgon, you don't want to take advantage of the Nanjing court. ”

"Don't you think this is a great opportunity?" Dorgon asked.

"Yes, but no. I say yes because this is indeed a rare opportunity, if the Nanjing side can send troops north, Xing may destroy the thieves in one fell swoop. But the timing was not right, Dolgon, we had been in the customs for too long, a full five months, and we had been tormented under the city of Tongzhou for several months, and our rear was turned upside down by a group of pirates.

The whole army is thinking about retreating, but you have to go further. Then the gentry of the Eight Banners will continue to suffer the torment of war with you. Moreover, your idea may not succeed, I think this is not a good opportunity, it is better to retreat and get Shanhaiguan.

robbed a lot of property in the Central Plains, and got Shanhaiguan, and finally had an explanation for the country. Dodor said.

Suke Saha didn't wait for Dolgon to ask, and immediately said: "Master, what Prince Yu said is right, now he doesn't dare to make any more trouble. Since the prince of Azig went south, all the battalions of the Eight Banners were thinking about how many Nikans, gold and silver they would bring home, and the news of the pirate rebellion had also spread, and everyone was afraid that something would happen to their families again. ”

These two were the most trusted of Dolgon, and when he heard these words, he slammed his fist into the palm of his hand: "Oh, what a great opportunity." ”

Dodor smiled, "Dolgon, what are you worried about. Now the thieves and the Ming Dynasty each occupy half of the country, the Ming side hates the thieves more than us, we have such an ally in vain, and it is only a matter of time before the thieves are exterminated in the future and the Central Plains are dominated.

Let the gentry go back and rest for a while, and then destroy the pirates, and in two or three years, we will be able to enter the capital. ”

Dolgon knew that it was only the Ming Dynasty who intended to cooperate, and it was more reinforcement for the Qing Dynasty, so he nodded heavily and said: "Forget it, don't think about it, the more you think about it, the more you feel a pity." Let's talk about how to reply to Gaudí.

Since the retreat is secondary, Shanhaiguan must be taken. ”

Duoduo said: "Gao Di has 10,000 soldiers, although most of them are infantry, but the strength is not bad, it is said that when the three kings and one duke came to vote, they only brought 10,000 soldiers. So Gaudí must be crowned king, Dorgon, what do you think? ”

"Well, let's call it King Fushun. The domain was given to him...... Let's set it in Jinzhou. Dorgon thought for a moment and said.

Then he said, "It is better to give him some more money, and give him some of the rice and women that have been plundered from the plains." Since we want to appease, we must open the terms to the maximum. People like Gao Di have been mixed with Wu Sangui for a long time, and they may not learn anything else, and they must have the ability to please these two ends.

Maybe he also sent someone to the capital and asked Li Zicheng. ”

Dorgon nodded: "Give him 200,000 taels of silver, one woman for each family, one cow, and a thousand mules and horses." ”

"Well, these terms are enough to convince him." Dordor said.

Seeing that Dorgon's face was a little ugly, Duoduo smiled, he knew what Dolgon was thinking.

This time, although it had the upper hand strategically, it was a failure, because this was the first time that the Qing Dynasty came out of the empty country, and only by occupying the capital could it make up for the losses, but it was not done.

The whole year's agricultural time is wasted, to survive the winter, you can only rely on grabbing more in the pass, and the Qing Dynasty entered the customs five or six times, each time Zhili was robbed, this time even if you use a grate to comb, the money and grain you get will not be very much, and it may not be able to meet the loss of this army, and send so much to Gao Di at once, how can he be happy.

Duoduo patted Dorgon's hand: "Oh, I can only suffer our brother Azig a little longer, let him use his strength to grab a few more cities." ”

Dorgon was amused by this, and said, "What else can be done, that's all there can be." ”

Haicheng, Shangfu.

The sunset sets, the corner of the hall is pale red under the eaves, in the small building, the piano resonates, and there is a sound tactfully.

Haicheng is now in the hands of Li Zhaoji, and the palace that is still gratifying is uninviolable, so Li Zhaoji simply placed a few of his VIPs inside. King Fu is very satisfied, although he is still being urged to lose weight every day, he can also enjoy some life in the palace.

For Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing, it was really interesting to explore this palace, they found this small building, and also found books and musical instruments in the building.

In the small building, there is a faint smell of books in the air.

Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing sat down separately, playing Jiangnan tunes, these two people have a white jade Xiyan flower chain, a jade hairpin, and Bicuibu are dust-free, all the costumes are found in the palace, and it is best to dress up beautifully.

"Mr. Li, my two sisters, which one plays well." After the song was played, Li Xiangjun asked.

When he looked up, he saw Li Zhaoji looking at him blankly, with an aggressive light in his eyes, so he coughed lightly.

Li Zhaoji smiled embarrassedly and came to his senses, where did he understand this thing, although when he was at home, Bai Mo also liked to play the piano, but Li Zhaoji preferred her to play the flute.

"I don't understand that." Li Zhaoji will not answer this kind of proposition, but compared with the previous indifference when he told the second daughter that he didn't understand music theory, this time, Li Zhaoji was a little silent.

"Alas, it's good that Lao Tzu understands this, and then pretend to be a gentleman and get them both done!" Li Zhaoji said helplessly in his heart.
