 Beijing City, Jingren Palace, Emperor Shunzhi’s concubine Tong Jia holds Aixinjueluo Xuanye in her arms, anxiously waiting for Emperor Shunzhi.

Today is Xuan Ye's birthday, May 4th. What a coincidence, it is the same day as Emperor Guangwu's Northern Expedition. It is customary for the prince's birthday. No matter how busy the father is, he has to take time to come and see. Tong Jia has already

I haven’t seen my husband for a long time!

The seventeen-year-old Emperor Shunzhi came, held little Xuanye in his arms and teased him for a while, and then said to Tong Jia: "I still have to review the memorial, so I will go back to the palace first, and I will ask someone to send some cotton satin over.

Let Xuan Ye have a good birthday."

Thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Although Tong Jia was wronged, she had no choice but to give thanks and say, "I thank the emperor for his grace."

"Yeah", Emperor Shunzhi snorted with satisfaction and went to Chengqian Palace.

His sweetheart lived in the Chengqian Palace: Concubine Dong E. A few days ago, in order to win over the Han officials, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng took the initiative and married Heshuo and Kong Sizhen to Sun Yanling. Emperor Shunzhi suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something.

.

He liked Han women, and everyone in the palace knew this secret. In order to please him, all the Manchu and Mongolian concubines imitated the knowledge and etiquette of Han women. Unfortunately, most of them were imitating others. Only Concubine Dong E was talented and intelligent.

, good at calligraphy, good at history books, benevolent in nature, and knowledgeable about general matters. She is more like a Han woman than a Han woman, and was deeply favored by Emperor Shunzhi.

The surname Dong E is a common surname in Manchuria. There are three concubines with the surname Dong E in the palace. Emperor Shunzhi is the only one who belongs to the family of his minister E Shuo. E Shuo is a general of the Zhengbai Banner and has been stationed in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huzhou for six years. This makes

His daughter, Dong E, has been influenced by Han culture since she was a child. She has a unique charm and elegant bookishness, and is also gentle and considerate. This made the young emperor who was familiar with the classics and history find a close friend, lingered over it, and regarded other concubines as boring.

Puppet.

"Bah, fox girl," Tong Jia spat fiercely in the direction of Chengqian Palace. She was so angry that she could not be favored, so she could only suffer in silence.

??

In the Jiujiangkou area of ​​Yizheng County, Yangzhou Prefecture, South Zhili, the 19-year-old General Anyuan Jingkou, the Prince of Xinjun Duonizheng, the 20-year-old Prince Pingjun Luo Keduo, and the 33-year-old Beile Shangshan inspected the river defense.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the main generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are getting younger and younger. The older generation of princes who are good at conquering and fighting are either tortured to death, sick, or sent to other battlefields. They have no choice but to

Some young people were sent here.

He is very young. Coach Doni and deputy coach Luo Keduo have never fought in a battle. Shang Shan has followed Duoduo and fought against Li Zicheng and Nan Ming. Among the three, he has more than ten years of military experience and is considered a "veteran".

The Manchu army has always been controlled by the royal family, and these three are naturally surnamed Aixinjueluo. Duoni is the son of Duoduo; Luo Keduo is the great-grandson of Daishan; Shangshan is the grandson of Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi.

Monk Ni is a good fellow, but Luo Keduo is two generations behind them.

Doni looked at the Ming army port in Dantu area on the other side, as well as the densely packed camps, with a solemn expression, "It seems that the Ming army wants to attack Yangzhou. The Lianghuai salt tax is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and it must not be allowed to happen.

Lost!"

Luo Keduo said: "A few days ago, Zhang Xueli and the others came back from their mission to the Ming Dynasty and said that Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty. The war may not be possible, right?"

Doni said solemnly: "How can you take chances in a war and place your hope on the enemy not coming to attack? Be careful and you will not make a big mistake. Tell the soldiers to dig more trenches." After saying this, he waved his hand, which was quite a famous general.

His style is very similar to that of his father, Heshuo Yuqin Duoduo.

"Commander," Shang Shan hesitated, "General Mo is a little worried about Anqing. It is an important town on the Yangtze River. Once it falls, our connection with Huguang will be cut off. Should we send Zu Zerun to lead 20,000 people to reinforce Anqing?"



The Qing army north of the Yangtze River had 150,000 troops, 80,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and 70,000 Green Camp troops. Doni deployed 120,000 troops in Yangzhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou, but only 20,000 troops were deployed in Anqing and only 20,000 troops were deployed in Luzhou.

Ten thousand. Shang Shan is a little worried.

"Hahaha", Donnie laughed, "Don't worry, Shang Shanbeile, the Ming army's goal is Yangzhou, not Anqing. Zu Zerun has to stay in Yangzhou to help defend."

Shang Shan was very surprised, "How did the general know that the place where the Ming army landed must be Yangzhou?"

"On the other side of Yangzhou, the Ming army's camp has the most banners."

Shang Shan was anxious, "These may be the Ming army's tactics to deceive soldiers!"

Doni smiled even more proudly, "Of course I know that the camp may be empty and the flags may be too many. But to cross the river, you must have a boat. Where the Ming army's warships are, their main force will be there. I have

We sent people to inquire and found out that some of the warships of the Ming Navy were stationed at Yangzhong Island, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and the other part were stationed at Gaozhi Town, Zhenjiang Prefecture, facing Yangzhou Prefecture. It can be seen that they were heading towards Yangzhou."

"Yes." Shang Shan nodded. The general is worthy of being a general, and what he said is not unreasonable.

Doni added: "A few days ago, my agent met Sun Gui, the commander of the Ming Navy Navy, in Kochi Town. That guy patrolled the riverside all day long, observing the camps and camps of our Navy with a telescope.

Warships and forts. So I conclude that the landing place of the Ming army must be Yangzhou."

At this time, Shang Shan and Luo Keduo were heard nodding repeatedly, "What the general said is true. The Ming army must have wanted to seize the Lianghuai Salt Fields and make the Qing Dynasty lose its wealth and wealth. The intention is sinister! We should strengthen the river defense along Yangzhou.

, be ready!"

This is the difference between young generals and veteran generals. Once they feel that they have judged the enemy's combat intentions, they will respond with all their strength based on their judgment, leaving no escape route. The veteran generals will leave no escape route. If this battle is

Under the command of Babutai or Jierhalang, no matter where the Ming army lands, they will keep heavy troops in Anqing. This is what is called, before thinking about advance, think about retreat first.

It cannot be said that what young generals do is wrong. In fact, if their judgment is accurate, they can achieve greater results than veteran generals. However, if their judgment is wrong, their defeat will be worse.

This time, Dhoni made a mistake in judgment, or fell into Emperor Guangwu's bluffing plan.

The fifty-nine-year-old Emperor Guangwu made his fortune through deceit and deceit. He seemed loyal but was as cunning as a fox. He recognized Anqing's strategic position at a glance, but deliberately set up camps and densely decorated banners in Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and Suzhou opposite Yangzhou.

; He also ordered some naval warships and merchant ships to disguise themselves as the main navy and stationed them in Kochi Town and Yangzhong Island in Zhenjiang; in order to convince the Qing army, they also deliberately let some warships train and patrol in these two ports; this

Not to mention, in addition, the navy commander Sun Gui was left in Zhenjiang, and Sun Gui was ordered to patrol the riverside in a swaggering manner every day, with special instructions to make the noise loud enough to be visible to the other side.

Secretly, Shui and Lu Division's elite troops were transferred to Chizhou Prefecture opposite Anqing.

How can these pitiful young men be a match for the cunning and cunning Zhu Hengjia? Let them act like ghosts and drink the foot-washing water of Emperor Guangwu.

??

Huangshiji, Chizhou Prefecture, where the main force of the Ming army was stationed.

Emperor Guangwu put down his telescope and smiled happily. There were not many Qing army camps on the other side, and there was not much smoke. It seemed that the enemy had fallen into his trap, and the main force was transferred to Yangzhou.

God bless me, Ming Dynasty! If Jierharang is commanding the troops on the opposite side, this battle will not be easy to fight! In fact, Emperor Shunzhi originally wanted to send Jierhalang, but Jierhalang was sent by Emperor Shunzhi last time.

After sending Gushi Khan's envoy Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso to Daigar, he fell ill when he came back and continued to vomit blood. There was no other way, so he had to let Doni go.

"Your Majesty, the navy is ready," Fuminghou Lincha reported.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be a pioneer." Li Mingzhong, Duke of Chang Kingdom, was so excited that he was trembling all over. He was from Liao Dynasty and had been looking forward to returning to his hometown.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight." All the generals asked for battle one after another.

Well, military morale is available!

Zhu Hengjia nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Make more detailed preparations for crossing the river. In three days, the troops will be sent to Huaining Port. I will destroy the camp of the puppet Qingcao River Governor Li Ripeng in one fell swoop!"
