"Master Qiansui," Wu Xiang's brows were still furrowed, "Hauge also figured out that he is no longer staying in Suiyang these days, but has moved to Xuzhou, and seems to be preparing to use troops against Nanyang and Xiangyang. .....”
Nanming's wishful thinking was very good. He wanted to lure Hauge south to the Huaihe River and beat him to death. But they missed one thing - what is the relationship between Hauge and Dorgon and Dodo? How could he cooperate with Dodo? When Duduo was in trouble in Shandong, Hauge of course had to stay away to avoid Dorgon ordering him to attack Xuzhou to relieve Duduo.
"Hauge will not really attack Nanyang and Xiangyang," Zhu Cixiang shook his head, "because this is a good thing we all want... Hauge will probably not do the things we all want."
Li Yan nodded and said: "What His Highness the Prince said is absolutely true. Now Li Zicheng has moved to Xiangyang, and tens of thousands of old bandit soldiers who followed Li Zicheng to Xiangyang, Nanyang, and Yueyang have all been allocated land this spring. So now that Chuangni's morale has been restored, he can fight again.
If Hauge really wants to attack Nanyang and Xiangyang, he will suffer heavy losses! "
Li Zicheng's behavior of allocating land to soldiers in Xiangyang, Yueyang, and Nanyang prefectures meant that the Dashun regime completed the transformation from a peasant regime to a feudal regime. The old soldiers who were assigned land and the homeless thieves who had no family property became feudal soldiers who owned land and property. They were also the first generation with relatively guaranteed combat effectiveness.
And because their lands are in the three prefectures of Xiangyang, Yuanyang and Nanyang, they will of course risk their lives to defend these three prefectures, so it is impossible for Li Zicheng to escape even if he wants to!
If Hauge invades Nanyang in a large scale, he will definitely encounter very stubborn resistance - the two counties currently occupied by Hauge belonging to Nanyang Prefecture are both north of Fangcheng Mountain, and they were actually territories that Li Zicheng voluntarily gave up. The Nanyang Basin south of Fangcheng Mountain is now home to more than 20,000 old Dashun soldiers. If Hauge wants to break in, then wait until he fights the old soldiers from Dashun! Even if Hauge wins the battle, he will still have to die at least 10,000 or 20,000, and his supporters in the Zhenglan Banner and the Two Yellow Flags may be dead...
"Then he may not necessarily fight along the Huaihe River!" Wu Xiang said, "Nanyang and Xiangyang are difficult to fight, but Runing and Fengyang are easy to fight? Moreover, the war in Shaanxi and Shanxi is not over yet, and the Tartars' rear It’s not stable.”
"What if," Zhu Cixiang said thoughtfully, "what if Duduo's troops captured Xuzhou?"
"Xuzhou?" Wu Xiang frowned and thought for a moment, "Qiantui Master wants to give up Xuzhou?"
Zhu Cixiang nodded lightly, "Xuzhou is in danger of a hanging river. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend... Gao Jie also has a careless temper. It is not safe to station an army in Xuzhou City. It will be troublesome if the Qing soldiers are surrounded. .
It is better to let him retreat to Haizhou, use the water network in Pizhou and Suqian as a wall, with the East China Sea as his back, and Yuzhou Mountain as the final stronghold. "
The so-called danger of the hanging river refers to the Yellow River flowing from the north of Xuzhou City - the Yellow River changed its course to the south when the two Song Dynasties met, taking the Huaihe River and entering the sea, and passed through Xuzhou. Hundreds of years of siltation have turned the Yellow River outside Xuzhou into a hanging river, making it impossible to defend the city. When the time came, the Qing soldiers dug up the Yellow River and the whole area was submerged in the water.
Moreover, Xuzhou's current territory is not large, with a total of five counties: Pengcheng, Xiaoxian, Dangshan, Fengxian, and Peixian. Among them, Feng County and Pei County have already suffered disaster once from Duduo's soldiers and horses! Most of the people in Pengcheng, Xiaoxian and Dangshan have also fled, so there is little value in holding on.
Zhu Cixiang then analyzed: "If Duduo takes Xuzhou, then Huang Degong can retreat to Suzhou and Lingbi... In this way, Hauge will have to occupy the territory of Shangqiu, Xiayi, and Yongcheng counties. Grab it, as long as he comes to grab it, we have a chance to lure him to the bank of the Huaihe River.
As long as he approaches or simply crosses the Huaihe River, we will have a chance to defeat him. If we could kill tens of thousands of people, no one would dare to covet Southeast Asia anymore! "
Now Zhu Cihong has realized that the relationship between Hauge, Dorgon and Duduo can be something to do.
"Master Qiansui," Li Yan said with a frown, "As long as Hauge is willing to send troops to Defu, I will be sure to lure him south.
But I'm afraid Duduo won't go south to Xuzhou... He suffered a lot in the Battle of Tuhe, and now he is very careful. He has reduced his troops to the canal north of Weishan Lake, even to Ziyang, the capital of Yanzhou. All gave up. "
After Duduo gathered more than 10,000 people from Bai Yongfu and Ma Degong, and obtained the Liaocheng Fortress and the savings in the city, he finally established a firm foothold in Yongchang Mansion in northwest Shandong Province. Now he uses Liaocheng (Yongchang Prefecture) as a stronghold to rest and reorganize his troops and manage the territory. The entire Dongchang Prefecture is now basically under his control.
On the ground in Jinan Prefecture, Duduo's soldiers and horses only occupied one state and four counties, including Dezhou, Leling, Lingxian, Deping, and Pingyuan, and formed a confrontation with "Qi Yong" who occupied most of the territory in Jinan Prefecture.
In the direction of Yanzhou Prefecture, Duduo's army moved south along the canal to Luqiao Town in Jining Prefecture, roughly controlling Yanggu County, Shouzhang County, Dongping Prefecture, Jining Prefecture and other two prefectures and counties. territory, thereby dividing the Ming army in Yanzhou into two groups: the west of the canal (Shi Kefa's tribe) and the east of the canal (Li Huajing's tribe).
If nothing unexpected happens, Duduo's next target of attack should be Li Huajing and Gong Wencai in the "West of the Canal". It is unlikely that he will go deep into Xuzhou alone.
"Then let Dorgon give orders to Duduo..." Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, "He is my future father-in-law, Lao Taishan. I really look forward to him taking a step further and becoming the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Yes, but this Hauge has always blocked Dorgon's way!
This time Duduo suffered a loss in Shandong. If Hauge was too proud, surely Dorgon's life would not be easy, right? "
...
"What kind of bullshit is this old Fifteen fighting? He fought with a bunch of Shandong bumpkins and there were so many casualties. He is getting more and more back!"
Beijing, Prince Regent's Mansion, in the study, Dorgon was scolding Duduo with an angry look on his face. However, Duduo did not return to Beijing to listen to his lectures. He still sent He Luohui back to secretly report the true situation of the "Battle of Tuhe" to Dorgon.
That's right, the true situation of the Battle of Tuhe can only be "secretly reported" and cannot be written and submitted in a grand manner. Because it would be too embarrassing to win... If it were written as a memorial and sent up, the princes and Baylor who opposed Dorgon would have something to say.
So according to the memorial sent by Duduo, the Battle of Tuhe was a great victory! And there weren’t that many real Tatars who died in the war... They all died of poor health and illness!
Well, being a Tatar is very hard. You kill people, set fires, and rob homes and homes. How hard is it? , so the body was damaged at a young age, coupled with the acclimatization, the spread of epidemics, etc., it is normal for more than 900 people to die from the disease.
However, Duduo could not fool Dorgon like this, so he sent He Luohui to report the real situation.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu has tried his best..." He Luohui shook his head, "Shandong is different now than it was a few years ago!"
"It's different? How is it different?" Dorgon asked with his eyes wide open.
"Your Majesty," He Luohui replied, "According to King Yu's detailed investigation after the Tuhe War, there are actually no governors, governors, or ministers of regiment training in Shandong now!"
"What's that?"
"There are Jiedushi!" He Luohui said, "Gao Hongtu, the governor of Shandong, is fake. In fact, he is the Jiedushi of Ziqing Town. Shi Kefa, the governor of the seven provinces, is also fake. In fact, he is the Jiedushi of Yanyun Army. .Zuo Maodi's Shandong Tuanlian Minister is not real...he should be the Northern Navy's Military Envoy.
These three Jiedu envoys are all masters who manage the army on horseback and the people on horseback. Among them, Gao Hongtu and Zuo Maodi are still local snakes in Shandong, and a large number of clan members, disciples, and old officials can take advantage of them. Over the past year or so, they have mastered their respective territories and armies, so it is not easy to deal with them! "
Duo Ergun took a deep breath, but still looked angry: "Old Fifteen was beaten like this in Shandong, Hauge was very smooth in Henan, he would fight wherever he pointed... these words What should I say?"
