Chapter 230 Wuchang
Fan Wencheng really felt that his head was not enough.
According to his memory, Wu Sangui's army had to be 50,000. Recently, 20,000 people were recruited in Henan, with a total of more than 70,000 people.
Zuo Menggeng had 200,000 troops in his hands, and Jiujiang City lost more than 50,000 people, but at least one hundred thousand people would have to be there. If all of them were gathered up by Haoge, it would have to be more than 300,000.
In addition, Zuo Menggeng and Wu Sangui's territory are both good places, and there has been a saying that Huguang is well-versed in the world since ancient times.
Although Henan suffered from ice disasters, it would soon develop after a period of time. On the other hand, the areas controlled by the court were incomparable to those controlled by the three.
Fan Wencheng felt sweaty on his forehead when he thought of this, and kept winking at Dorgon, hoping that Dorgon could take back Cheng's life. If Brother Hao was given control of five games, it would definitely be a major concern for the court, and it would even be even more powerful than the Southern Ming court.
Dorgon shook his head gently, saying that he had already known Fan Wencheng and was even more puzzled. Dorgon was a smart man among the Manchus. Dorgon could also think of what he could think of, but why did he still have to go to war?
The meeting of the Prince and Ministers of the Political Consultative Conference has ended...
Brother Hao took on this job with a confused look on his face. Now he can only go back and prepare. Although the others didn't understand it in their minds, they also knew that they couldn't understand it even if they stayed here.
Dorgon did not leave him. He knew that his two brothers and Fan Wencheng would have to answer it himself. If they didn't explain it clearly, these two brothers would be able to turn the capital over tonight.
"Second brother, what's going on? Haven't you always said that Haoge can't take charge of military power? If he is allowed to take charge of military power, what can we do in the future? How can we control him to stay in the capital? Under our noses, everything is easy to do, but if you arrive in Wuchang, the emperor will be far away..."
Duoduo was the first to be unable to calm down.
Although Ajige didn't say anything, like Dodo, he also hoped that Dorgon could have an answer.
"Don't worry, I naturally have my ideas. After Duoduo's defeat, the strength of our three brothers was at least half of it. Now Brother Hao's soldiers are strong and powerful. If this continues, he will take action in the capital sooner or later, so it's better to transfer him out of the capital."
What Dorgon said is also the truth. Duoduo lost so much army. Although all of them are now supplemented, most of them are Han people.
If you expect these people to go into battle to kill the enemy, then forget it!
Duoduo also saw the performance of these people on the battlefield. As soon as the artillery of the Southern Ming Dynasty opened, these people were immediately scared to cry and called their parents. Just don’t cause trouble for us.
What's more, if Haoge is not allowed to go south, then Ajige has to go south. Ajige leads his elite troops and Dorgon has only 30,000 cavalry left. How can he stabilize the situation in the capital?
Although the Huguang area is important, no matter how important it is, can it be more important than the capital?
After Dorgon finished speaking, the three people present understood that intelligence was just mistaken for intelligence. They didn't think of this. In fact, Haoge himself did not expect that after Duoduo's defeat, the military forces of both sides would be in a balanced state.
Originally, the strength of the three Dorgon brothers was the most powerful in the entire Qing court, and no one could pass by about seven. However, after Duoduo was defeated, in addition to the sharp decline in prestige, their personal strength also decreased a lot.
If Haoge's vision can be longer, he will stay in the capital honestly and train his two yellow flags.
Dorgon had to send Ajige out at that time. At that time, Dorgon could not support himself in the capital. As long as there was a little disturbance, Haoge could occupy the capital with his armed forces.
At that time, he would also become the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but now Dorgon takes retreat as he advances, and Haoge only sees the benefits in front of him, so Dorgon resolves a crisis.
Although Dorgon didn't want to hope that Haoge failed again in front of the Southern Ming army, he had to see it. He could not let Haoge protect such a large military armed force.
So Dorgon was determined relatively well, but it was already a month later when all the food and grass and other logistics were ready.
In this era, news is blocked, and even if you get a news from the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is outdated. It is completely incomparable to modern society. Zhu Cilang, who has become accustomed to the Internet society, is really unbearable to the spread of news in this era.
But there is no way to set up the Internet in this society, so I can only endure it first.
After receiving the news that Haoge was about to lead his troops south, Zhu Cilang immediately summoned the Minister of Military Affairs to hold a military meeting in the study room.
The other party has increased its military strength, so we must continue to increase accordingly, otherwise the current four regiments in Ye Yun's hands would be really irresistible.
According to Zhu Cixuan's original idea, thousands or even tens of thousands of musketeers could sweep the entire world, but after the Battle of Qufu, Zhu Cixuan threw all these words aside.
Anyone who has this idea will definitely be defeated. Never underestimate the heroes of this era.
"According to the news we have received, the army led by Haoge this time is mostly the elite of the two yellow flags of the Qing Dynasty. They are well-trained, especially in terms of bows, horses, riding and shooting, which is no less than the army led by Duoduo the last time. In addition, there are 50,000 Mongolian cavalry..."
After Sandezi passed away, Xiao Guizi took over the errands from Sandezi. Xiao Guizi personally captured the intelligence spy on the Qing court.
Haoge made complete preparations when he went south to Wuchang this time. In addition to the army in his own hands, he also asked Dorgon for many elite troops from various flags.
On the one hand, Dorgon wanted to stabilize Wu Sangui and Zuo Menggeng in Wuchang, and on the other hand, he also had to send Haoge away.
Because according to the information Dorgon had, Haoge may have realized why Dorgon was willing to go south to lead troops.
Therefore, Brother Hao must not be allowed to stay. If Brother Hao stays at this time, he would be rebellious. So no matter what request Haoge makes, Dorgon will try his best to complete it.
Under such circumstances, an unprecedentedly large Qing army was organized again, and the Wuchang area was covered with clouds...
