An obvious fact is that if the troops are withdrawn from Xuzhou in such a disgraceful manner, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to Dorgon's prestige, and Jierharang will definitely cause trouble.
Although with Dorgon's methods, it is only a piece of cake to deal with Jierhalang.
However, this will inevitably affect the unity among the Eight Banners nobles, will definitely have a huge impact on the Qing Dynasty, and will also inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers.
If this is the case, there will be no chance of unifying the world.
Therefore, it is necessary to win the battle before retreating.
He Luohui also understood: "Mr. Gongfu, do you mean to capture Kaifeng City?"
I originally thought that Chongzhen and the Ming army were soft persimmons that would be easier to pinch. However, after fighting in Xuzhou, I realized that they were really hard bones and could not be chewed.
So now we can only go back and find fault with Pseu Shun and Li Zicheng.
Compared to Xuzhou, Kaifeng City should be easier to defeat.
"Yes." Ning Wanwo said with a sinister smile, "Master's steel sword has already been unsheathed, how can we put it away without seeing blood? So let's use Li Zicheng from Kaifeng City to sacrifice the sword to Master."
Install the latest version.]
He Luohui said: "But we came in a hurry this time and did not bring the red cannon."
"Kaifeng City can be captured without using red cannons." Ning Wanwo smiled sinisterly again, "Originally there was no chance, but now that Li Zicheng wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, he gave us the Qing soldiers to surprise Kaifeng City.
Chance."
"Surprise attack on Kaifeng?" He Luohui immediately became energetic and asked urgently, "What kind of surprise attack?"
Ning Wanmei said: "Isn't Li Zicheng secretly connected with Chongzhen? If nothing else happens, Chongzhen will definitely send a fast horse to deliver a message to Li Zicheng after completing his counterattack."
He Luohui said: "Sir, are you saying that you sent someone to intercept the messenger and deliver a false letter?"
"No, no, it's too difficult to intercept the messenger." Ning Wanwo said, "It's also difficult to deceive the intruder by sending a fake letter."
Fan Wencheng's expression changed and he asked with a smile: "Mr. Gongfu means to use the greed of the intruder to lure him to send troops to fight for Guide Mansion, and then ambush him halfway?"
Hong Chengchou continued: "Then roll back to Kaifeng Fucheng!"
Ning Wanmei smiled and said, "I know I can't hide it from Mr. Xiandou and Mr. Hengjiu."
Speaking of this, a complete combat plan had been formed, and Dorgon nodded slightly.
At least from the surprise attack itself, the probability of success is still very high. As for the specific details, such as Ye Bushou's hunting of the pseudo-submissive scout cavalry, etc., they must be executed by the soldiers below.
Just when Dorgon was about to nod, Hong Chengchou suddenly added another sentence.
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "It would be too little to win just one battle, so let's add one more."
"Another victory?" Ning Wan and I were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized, "Mr. Hengjiu said that he would take the opportunity to loot Shandong on the way back to the north, right?"
Hong Chengchou said: "It is the looting of Shandong."
Hong Chengchou, this traitor, really thinks about Dorgon.
Because Jiannu mobilized troops this time but failed to achieve his goal, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Dorgon's prestige.
In addition to this, there is a more troublesome thing, that is, the grain reserves in the Eight Banners' public and private treasury have been exhausted. If we can't make up for it on the way back north, this winter will be very difficult.
As a result, the national power of Jiannu will be seriously weakened.
Such a result is unacceptable to Hong Chengchou.
If the Qing Dynasty became weak or even died, wouldn't he have made a mistake by surrendering to the Qing Dynasty? The converts were fanatical because they did not want their mother country to become stronger, but they hoped that the country they converted to could destroy their mother country.
Dorgon sighed: "Shandong has been looted by our Qing soldiers many times before. In fact, there is not much money and food left. The best target for looting is Jiangnan. If not, we have to go deep into Huguang to loot. But unfortunately
, even if our Qing soldiers were able to penetrate deep into Jiangnan and Huguang, they would not be able to bring back the money, food and population they grabbed."
It is really impossible to take them back, as only a Yellow River is enough to block their return.
After a pause, Dorgon added: "So let's go to Shandong, it's better than nothing."
Fan Wencheng added: "Master, besides looting Shandong, there is one more thing that must be done."
Seeing Fan Wencheng's serious look, Dorgon immediately reacted and said in a deep voice: "Dig the Yellow River?"
"To be more precise, it is to dig up the south bank of the Yellow River!" Fan Wencheng said sadly, "After defeating Li Zicheng's puppet army, we will dig up the south bank of the Yellow River in Kaifeng Prefecture."
"Didn't Chongzhen want to equalize land in Xuzhou and Guide Prefecture?"
"Didn't Chongzhen want to use the cultivated land in Xuzhou, Guide Prefecture and even Kaifeng Prefecture to issue bonds?"
"Then, our Qing soldiers dug up the south embankment of the Yellow River and directly flooded Kaifeng Prefecture, Guide Prefecture and Xuzhou, making all the efforts made by this dog emperor Chongzhen come to nothing!"
After a pause, Fan Wencheng continued: "This will also severely damage Nanming's national power!"
"That's right!" Hong Chengchou and Ning Wanwo agreed at the same time. "By digging the south embankment of the Yellow River, we can artificially create a large-scale flood along the Huanghuai River, which will at least make millions of Han people homeless. In order to quell the flood
, resettling and feeding millions of victims will be enough to keep Chongzhen and the Southern Ming court busy for several years, and within these few years the Ming army will have no time to visit the north."
Fan Wencheng continued: "With this, our Qing soldiers will be able to slowly take over Shandong."
Dorgon pondered for a moment, and then shouted: "He Gehui, immediately send flying cavalry to notify the Xianglan Banner in Xiao County. After receiving the order, immediately come to Kaifeng to meet with the king. Don't forget to collect the escaped packs on the road during the march.
The slaves in clothes then sent flying cavalry to Pei County and Xin'an Town. After receiving the order, they ordered Zhengbai Banner, Zhenghong Banner and Zhenglan Banner to immediately go north into Shandong, looting Yanzhou, Jinan and Qingzhou prefectures, removing all money, food, livestock and people.
Take them all away.”
"嗻!" He Luohui knelt down and beat him, stood up and left.
Dorgon said again: "Come here and bring in the hypocritical envoy."
After a while, a scholar wearing a t-shirt walked in timidly.
"I'm Niu Quan." The scholar came in and bowed to Dorgon on the ground, "Greetings to the king."
"Niu Quan?" Dorgon asked with a smile, "Who are you, the pseudo-submissive Prime Minister Niu Jinxing?"
"It's my father." Niu Quan responded respectfully, "I am following the orders of my family's holy master and my father, and I have come to discuss with the king the matter of stopping the war and making peace."
"Strike the war and negotiate peace?" Dorgon sneered, "Do you think our Qing soldiers will strike?"
Niu Quan said quickly: "Your Majesty, our Dashun army actually has no intention of going against the Qing army. It is just to defraud the Ming army into seizing the Kaifeng Mansion, so we are preparing to march into Shangqiu."
Dorgon sneered: "Do you think this king will believe it?"
Niu Quan said again: "Your Majesty, if you station troops under Kaifeng City, you will fall into Chongzhen's trick."
"How do you say this?" Dorgon Yang pretended to be puzzled and snorted coldly and said, "Why did I, by stationing troops in Kaifeng, fall into the trap of Chongzhen, the dog emperor?"
Niu Quan said anxiously: "Because this is Chongzhen's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. First, he will move the Qing troops away from Xuzhou, and then he will lead the Ming army to launch a counterattack. If nothing goes wrong, the Qing troops staying outside Xuzhou City at this time will
I'm afraid the Qing soldiers have already suffered a loss."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Baya soldier hurriedly walked in and reported: "Master, the Ming army in Xuzhou City launched a large-scale counterattack last night..."
"Shut up!" Dorgon stopped him hastily.
Then he pretended to let all the cows go out and wait outside the tent.
After a while, someone brought all the cattle into the tent and said: "Last night, the Ming army in Xuzhou City launched a counterattack with about a thousand people, and they were all wiped out by our Eight Banners soldiers."
"Your Majesty, this is just a tentative counterattack by the Ming army."
Niu Quandao: "Chongzhen will definitely launch a larger-scale counterattack next."
Hearing this, Dorgon seemed to be a little moved, and asked in a deep voice: "Niu Quan, is Li Zicheng sincerely negotiating for peace? Is he going to attack Shangqiu again when my army returns to Xuzhou?"
"No." Niu Quan flatly denied, "I, Dashun, always keep my word."
"Okay, then I will agree to stop the army." Dorgon said, "However, you should go back and warn Li Zicheng that he should be more honest with me. If he dares to covet Shangqiu, I will not spare him."
"No." Niu Quan swore, "It will definitely not be like this."
"Come here, see off my king's guests." Dorgon stood up and said.
When leaving the tent, Niu Quan faintly heard Dorgon saying:
"Send the order and all the banners will immediately pull out their camps and return to Xuzhou."
Hearing this, Niu Quan clenched his fists hard.
…
Niu Quan quickly returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
"Your Majesty," Niu Quan reported, "Jiannu has agreed to call off the troops and make a truce."
"Really? This is really good news." Li Zicheng was very happy when he heard this.
Niu Jinxing was also very happy, thinking that his son had made great achievements this time.
After a while, a spy came to report that Jiannu had really left camp and headed for Xuzhou.
Niu Jinxing immediately said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity to seize Shangqiu. Don't miss it."
"Huh?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked in astonishment, "Prime Minister, didn't we already have a truce with Jian Nu? Why do we want to capture Shangqiu again?"
Niu Quan was also puzzled and said: "Yes, father, we can't break our word."
"What do you know?" Niu Jinxing reprimanded Niu Quan and then said to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be loyal to barbarians like Jianu."
"That's true." Li Zicheng was a little moved.
As the emperor of Dashun, it is really difficult to resist the temptation to expand the territory.
However, Li Zicheng was still a little worried: "But if we really send troops to return to Germany, will Jiannu become so angry that he will stop attacking Xuzhou and come back to attack us?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't happen."
Niu Jinxing said: "Didn't Chongzhen send a messenger to report his victory and express his gratitude?"
