Outside the Wuying Hall in the Forbidden City in Beijing, under the scorching sun in the early morning of June, it was once again crowded with officials from the Qing Dynasty, Manchu and Han Dynasties wearing flower feathers on their heads. 【~新~思~路~中文~hand typed】
Nowadays, in the Qing Dynasty, the young ruler is in charge of the court and the prince is the regent, so there are not many court meetings. Usually, the princes and ministers gather in Wuying Hall to discuss national affairs. It is rare for all civil and military officials to gather together at one time, but today happened to be the day. It was still dark, and there were strings of sedans and carriages outside the Forbidden City, dotted with white lanterns, leading the neatly dressed ministers to the square outside Wuying Palace. Everyone was beaming with joy.
It has been some time since the Qing Dynasty settled in Beijing. Those ministers who fell into trouble as traitors after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs now also know Dorgon's face-saving temper. If he didn't have something grand to announce, he wouldn't have convened any great meeting! What's the point of not sleeping with the Queen Mother so early in the morning and going to the Wuying Palace Square to look at a bunch of yawning official servants?
A few days ago, pieces of bad news came from the front line. First, the Ming Dynasty built a castle on Juehua Island and declared that it would counterattack Liaoxi!
Then there was news that the Ming Dynasty had established the General Military Office of Dongjiang Town on some Zhangzi Island off the coast of Liaodong!
At the same time, the envoys of the King of Korea came crying for help, saying that Japanese pirates had invaded and occupied their Jeju Island...
The battle situation in Shandong was not going well either. The invincible Prince Duduo of Yu actually suffered a loss under Qufu City! They also reported that the city of Qufu was protected by Saint Confucius and that it was not easy to fight. They wanted to find a few lamas with powerful magical powers to recite sutras and break Confucius' magical power. I heard that Dorgon had sent people to Tibet to invite the fifth generation. The great lama Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso has come to the Central Plains!
The situation in the Shanxi and Shaanxi battlefields that Azige was responsible for was also not good. The battle against Yulin City was very difficult and the losses were not small. The tug-of-war began again in Datong Mansion. The siege was temporarily powerless, so they could only scorch the earth and send troops to burn and kill on the territory of Datong Mansion controlled by the Ming army.
The Ming army in Datong was also furious and sent dead soldiers to fight back in the Qing Dynasty. They killed men with braids on the back of their heads... As a result, people and people around Datong Mansion were killed.
The young prince on Luliang Mountain was not willing to be lonely. In the spring, he also sent people to join the battle group and brought the war to the Fen River Basin!
Now the whole of Shanxi is in chaos, and I really don’t know when it will be stabilized.
The situation in Shaanxi is not good either. Although Wu Sangui occupied Fengxiang Mansion this spring, he has been reluctant to attack Xi'an. Instead, he is trying to develop to northwest Sichuan. I don't know if he wants to enter Sichuan?
In addition, the news in Henan is not good either. The army commanded by Prince Su Hauge is invincible during this period - Hauge is invincible, which is of course not good news!
Duduo was in ruins in Shandong, Azige was fighting hard in Shanxi, but Hauge was eating meat in Henan! Now they have captured most of Kaifeng Prefecture, the entire Ruzhou Prefecture, half of Guide Prefecture, and three counties of Nanyang Prefecture and Runing Prefecture. As a result, no one dares to mention Henan these days...
I don't know what good news has reached Beijing this time, but another big court meeting was called. Regardless of whether they have inside information or not, the Manchu and Han ministers all have happy expressions on their faces at the moment - everyone must keep the same expression as Master Dorgon!
"The Emperor has arrived! The Prince Regent has arrived..." Following the eunuch's roll call, all the officials of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu and Han Dynasties standing in the square outside Wuying Palace shouted long live and worshiped.
"Pingshen, Pingshen!"
Dorgon's voice rang immediately, and the big guy got up and looked up furtively. Then he saw Dorgon standing next to a yawning little emperor, with a smile on his sallow face.
When the regent of the Qing Dynasty saw that the ministers had climbed up and took their seats, he smiled and said: "Let me tell you some good news first! Prince Yu won the battle at Dongchang Mansion in Shandong Province. It was a great victory! He killed and captured 50,000 Nanman soldiers. The remaining people! Forced the Southern Barbarian governor Gao Hongtu of Shandong to almost commit suicide by drowning... If the Tuhe River had been deeper, this old guy would have drowned.
After the Battle of Tuhe, trouble broke out in Liaocheng, the capital of Dongchang. The Nanman's deputy general Bai Yongfu expelled the general Liu Zhiqian and surrendered the whole city. The entire territory of Dongchang Prefecture belongs to our Qing Dynasty. And the soldiers from the Southern Barbarian Lu Palace and Zuo Maodi's regiment who came from Mount Tai and Yimeng Mountain saw the bravery of our heavenly soldiers, and now they are running away in confusion!
The areas on both sides of the canal in Shandong are now completely under the control of our Qing heavenly soldiers! Next, King Yu plans to fight Qufu again, using the old method of besieging the city for reinforcements. "
Dorgon spoke in a brisk tone, almost laughing, but after finishing Duduo's good news, his tone was already serious: "Although Prince Yu did well in Shandong, it is different from the two battles before entering the customs." Compared with the situation when entering Shandong, it is a lot worse. This is not because Prince Yu cannot fight, nor is it that our Eight Banners strong force is exhausted, but because the Nikan of the Southern Dynasty has changed its master. I have long said that the little prince of the Southern Dynasty He is a hero! The only people who could compare with him in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years are Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di and his son. So don't underestimate the enemy just because of the victory of Tuhe.
The Battle of Tuhe was fought well, but it did not completely wipe out the troops of Gao Hongtu, the governor of Shandong in the Southern Dynasties. Now that Gao Hongtu has retreated to Jinan to lick his wounds, he will be able to stop for a year and a half, and then he will get up again.
As for the troops of King Lu of the Southern Dynasty, Shandong Tuanlian Minister Zuo Maodi, Shandong Commander-in-Chief Li Ruolian, Seven Provinces Governor Shi Kefa, Denglai Governor Su Guansheng, and Beiyang Minister Shen Tingyang, their vitality was not damaged! The six of them have more than ten or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses! Prince Yu has few people, so he can only use the method of siege and reinforcements to lure them out to fight, but whether it will work...it's hard to say! "
In fact, the gains reported by Duduo in the Battle of Tuhe were not as much as 50,000 at all - Gao Hongtu only brought 28,000, and even if he killed them all, it would not be enough to reach 50,000! Moreover, Gao Hongtu ran back with tens of thousands of people, and is now recruiting troops to prepare for a comeback! How could Duduo dare to avenge fifty thousand beheadings? With so many reports, how can I ask for help in the future?
Duduo's actual victory was only thirteen thousand or two thousand, so he reported twenty thousand. Dorgon felt that 20,000 was too little, so he rounded up the figure and quoted 50,000!
But he couldn't take the fifty thousand harvest number seriously, otherwise he would be a fool. So although Dorgon appeared to be jubilant, he was like a mirror in his heart... He already knew that the battle in Shandong would not be easy.
But just because it's not easy to fight doesn't mean you can defeat it. There are still ways.
Dorgon paused and then said: "The war in Shandong is not easy, but with Prince Yu here, I am very relieved. He is now relying on the canal, based in Luxi, and using Qufu as a bait to lure the enemy to send reinforcements. It is true that It is extremely clever. Even if Zhuge is reincarnated and Marquis Wu is resurrected, it will only be like this.
But some people don't know the brilliance of Prince Yu, let alone who the prince of the Southern Dynasty is... blindly underestimate the enemy and rush forward, get a little advantage and forget about it, and even clamor to drink from the Yangtze River. They don't know what it means to see a good friend. Just give it a try! "
Just a plan to give it up as soon as it's good? The ministers outside Wuying Palace were stunned. They had never heard of this tactic among the Thirty-Six Strategies!
Dorgon looked at the group of dazed courtiers below and snorted again: "In the future, the thirty-sixth strategy will have to be supplemented by a strategy of stopping as soon as it is good, which is the thirty-seventh strategy! If the Qing Dynasty wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, it will You have to use this strategy well, don’t eat what’s in the bowl and think about what’s in the pot!
Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong have not yet been pacified, and Liaoxi and Liaodong are still under the threat of the Nanman navy... We do not want, and do not have the spare energy to think about Huainan or Jiangnan. If you have that intention, it is better to think carefully about how to level Shanxi and Shaanxi.
As for Shandong... it can't be pacified without a ten-year offensive! "
Of course, these words of Dorgon were all told to the pro-Hauge princes and ministers in the court, so as to save these people from shouting for Hauge - Hauge is actually very careful, otherwise he would have hit Huainan long ago. went. But he has a very high profile, drinks from the Yangtze River, and talks nonsense about blaming Southeast Asia every day, which is very annoying! A group of pro-Hauge princes in the court also followed suit. Although it was useless, it was good to make Dorgon angry!
