At the same time, in Haizhou City, those prisoners captured by the Ming army basically signed up to join the first batch of siege troops and also participated in the propaganda against Haizhou City.
Because otherwise, he would have to serve twenty years of hard labor, basically until he died. These are all soldiers. Naturally, they would rather risk their future in a winnable war than fight to death.
There was no need for the soldiers of the Ming Army to urge them. With their desperate efforts to persuade them to surrender, the situation in Haizhou City became increasingly serious.
No, in the lobby of Haizhou Yamen, Dorgon was worriedly discussing countermeasures with the senior officials of Jianzhou Jurchen headed by Duduo. As for other tribes, they have reached the point where they dare not let them participate in decision-making.
Even the Haixi Jurchen tribe has been guarded against them. For no other reason than because those damn prisoners outside the city were stirring up the hatred between the Haixi Jurchens and the Jianzhou Jurchens.
People's hearts are separated from the belly, so we have to guard against it!
Moreover, key places in the city, such as city gates, grain and grass warehouses, etc., were also replaced by Jianzhou Jurchens.
Dorgon sighed and said to them: "I really didn't expect that people's hearts would reach this point!"
"I ordered them all to be shot at that time, so there wouldn't be so much trouble!" Duduo said with a bit of hatred after hearing this, "You still stopped me, if you forced them to shoot them all, now they are outside the city. There aren’t many that are noisy!”
Dorgon was a little surprised when he heard his complaints. All this time, Duduo had never complained about him, but she didn't expect to hear his complaints now.
He actually wanted to retort that if you hadn't shot them, maybe they wouldn't have worked so hard for the Ming army!
But thinking that it was useless to say this now, I didn't say it.
"Your Highness the Regent, the current situation is no longer enough to fight Ming Dog. It's better for us to withdraw and reorganize first!"
Upon hearing the words, Dorgon looked at the speaker, a little surprised.
Because the person who spoke was the commander of the palace guards and the confidant of the former Qing Emperor, Guarjia's Obai. This was the Qing Dynasty's Batulu, who was personally gifted by Huang Taiji.
Even he doesn't want to fight in Haizhou. This shows how popular the people in Haizhou City are!
Dorgon actually knew this very well, so he frowned and asked, "How can we retreat from the current situation?"
"Isn't there no clear dog at the north gate? It's the most convenient way to evacuate to Anshan Posthouse!" Obai answered quickly after hearing this.
When Dorgon heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "The Ming army is a typical besiege of three and one. They just want us to retreat from the north gate and destroy our fighting spirit! But, do you think we can really withdraw from the north gate?"
"Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Ying send someone from Anshan Posthouse to report the news? No problems were found on the way!" Oboi quickly defended after hearing this.
Hearing this, Duduo couldn't help but interjected and said hatefully: "Those two things escaped faster than anyone else!"
According to the messenger's information, neither Azig nor Hauge fled to Haizhou City at that time, but fled directly to Anshan Inn. Azig arrived first, and Haug arrived last.
After hearing this, Dorgon actually wanted to say that they were right to escape to Anshan Inn. However, if these words were spoken and it was right to encourage him to flee to Anshan Station, the number of troops in Haizhou City would be even less, and they might all have been captured by the Ming army, and he would be finished.
Except when he saw the army outside the city being defeated by the Ming army, he immediately led his troops to flee from Haizhou City to Anshan Posthouse. However, I really couldn't do this at that time.
Putting aside this distracting thought, Dorgon still shook his head and said: "I'm sure that the Ming army must have an ambush. They will wait for our army to intercept and kill them when they leave the city. Even if not, they must have troops waiting for me. Once I When the army leaves the city, they will be followed and chased!"
When will troop losses be greatest? That’s when you’re being hunted!
If you can retreat with very little loss during the retreat, then you are a famous general!
Not to mention, the morale of the troops in the city is now in chaos and their morale is low. Dorgon would not dare to withdraw under such circumstances! I'm afraid that the army will collapse as soon as they leave the city!
These people here are all experienced people, and they naturally understand that what Dorgon is worried about is actually something that is very likely to happen.
The purpose of the Ming army is definitely to annihilate them, and it is impossible to let them escape!
Duduo was very irritable. He didn't want to stay or leave. Do he want to wait for death?
Thinking this, he asked Dorgon loudly: "Then what should we do?"
The purpose of holding this meeting was that Dorgon actually wanted to see if other people had any good ideas?
Now seeing that they couldn't tell me anything, he was a little disappointed, so he had to say: "I have thought about it again and again, and now there is only one way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the lobby was immediately delighted. It turns out that the regent has a solution?
Then, seeing Duduo, he quickly urged: "If you have any ideas, please tell me!"
After Dorgon glanced at each of them, he said in a deep voice: "We can win over those foreigners whose families are in Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places. Tell them clearly that whoever dares to rebel against the Qing Dynasty will have their The family members are gone!"
"Yes, kill them!" Duduo heard this and sternly agreed.
Dorgon ignored him and continued to express his thoughts: "As for the others, instead of guarding them, it is better to use them again and let them create opportunities for us to withdraw our troops!"
"How to do it?" Duduo asked quickly after hearing this.
Dorgon looked at him and said seriously: "When the right opportunity comes, let them go out of the city to fight the Ming army. Then, we take the opportunity to retreat from the north gate. No matter whether they fight or surrender in the end, they can attract the attention of the Ming army. Create an opportunity for us. It’s only sixty miles from Haizhou to Anshan Inn, so maybe there will be an opportunity!”
Having said this, he paused and then added: "Of course, it is best to contact Anshan Posthouse to send troops to support us. Then this strategy has the greatest chance of success!"
After Dorgon finished speaking, the lobby was quiet for a moment, and then all the Jianlu were beaming with joy, thinking that this method was good and that it was possible to successfully escape from Haizhou!
However, Duduo was happy for a while, and suddenly reminded Dorgon: "If we want to do this, those Han dogs are unreliable and cannot be trusted, even if they have family members in Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places! "
This was their only chance to escape to Anshan Inn. He cherished it very much, so he said this.
When Dorgon heard this, he frowned and said, "If the Eight Banners of the Han Army are removed, our troops will be even less!"
Obviously, Dorgon seemed to disagree.
"Don't forget the lesson learned by Liu Aita back then!" Duduo quickly reminded him after hearing this, "These are extraordinary times!"
When Dorgon heard the name, he immediately stopped talking.
Back then, Da Jin not only married Liu Aita to a princess, but also made him the commander-in-chief. As a result, he finally loved the Ming Dynasty and faked his death and fled to the Ming Dynasty, without caring about his wife, children and mother.
Today's Eight Banners of the Han Army actually had a bloody feud with the Qing Dynasty in the past. In this extraordinary period, there is really no guarantee that they will be reluctant to leave the families of Shengjing and Liaoyang and not take the opportunity to take revenge.
If it were the Qing Dynasty's military power at its peak, they would naturally not be afraid of rebellion. But now at this time, there really cannot be any accidents!
Obai also thought about this, and then reminded: "North Koreans should also be on guard!"
The Koreans in the army were all plundered by them.
They also killed a lot of people in North Korea. It can be said that there are almost no people in North Korea now, and more than half of the credit belongs to them. The Koreans in the army, like the Han people, might take this opportunity to retaliate.
As soon as he heard Obai say this, Dorgon fell silent.
Because he thought that, according to what he said, many people in the Eight Banners of Mongolia would be unreliable.
From the beginning, they actually had enmity with the Mongolian tribes in the steppe. Even if the Horqin tribe later became very good friends, they were still enemies at the beginning. But later, due to strong force, they were finally forced to surrender.
It was nothing at first, but later, because they dispatched the elite cavalry Qianqi to attack North Korea, their tribe was overthrown by the Ming army and then annexed by the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon dared to believe that if it was normal, it would be nothing. But under the current situation, maybe some of these Mongolians have revenge on them!
Thinking like this, he suddenly felt like he was betrayed by everyone!
In this situation, who else can believe it? Could it be that in the end, only Jianzhou Jurchens were left?
However, just the Jianzhou Jurchens, how many people are there? Even if they can escape from Haizhou City, how will they deal with the subsequent Ming army offensive?
Dorgon thought about it, and suddenly felt that the future of the Qing Dynasty was so slim!
I don't know it during normal times, but when it comes to this life-and-death situation, I realize that I am alone!
After being silent for half a minute, after weighing the pros and cons, Dorgon finally made up his mind.
Just when he was about to announce his decision, suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside again. When he looked up, he saw his personal guards leading a messenger over.
When everyone saw it, they were immediately overjoyed. At this time, the messenger who comes is naturally from Anshan Posthouse, and there may or may not be good news.
Sure enough, I heard the messenger report: "His Royal Highness Prince Lilie, the regent, came personally from Shengjing to stabilize Haizhou City and wait for him to send troops to respond!"
Obviously, this messenger was the decision Daishan made immediately after learning about the situation in Haizhou.
When Dorgon heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. This was the first time that it was clear that reinforcements would come to respond. He is truly worthy of being a big brother. With this decision, it seems that I will have to respect him a little more in the future!
Naturally, he didn't know that Daishan had already gone to see King Yama at this time!
