The so-called palace ban did not exist for Dorgon.
Seeing Dorgon, Bumbutai had resentment hidden in his eyes, and at the same time he was a little surprised.
What makes me resentful is that Dorgon has not been in the palace for a long time, and Bumbutai is only a little over thirty-five years old this year, and she is also a normal woman with the same physiological needs.
To her surprise, Dorgon finally came to the palace to find her.
But Bumbutai was also a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling better?"
"It's still the same. I'll cough up blood when I catch a cold. I've taken medicine for a long time, but it still doesn't feel better." Looking at Bumbutai's slightly reduced dimples, Dorgon couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Bumbutai was extremely disappointed, but he said with concern on his face: "Then you'd better take good care of yourself first, don't be greedy for temporary pleasure, and take it easy in the house."
"Yu'er, I came to the palace to see you on that night because I have something more important."
Dorgon sighed: "A big thing happened over there in Horqin Mongolia. That idiot Esen accidentally fell into the Ming army's trick. More than 30,000 cavalry have been wiped out. Your father Buhe and several brothers have also..."
Bumbutai's vision went dark for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground.
Thanks to Dorgon's quick eyesight and quick hands, he quickly stepped forward to help him.
However, this woman Bumu Butai was indeed extraordinary, and she calmed down quickly.
"Prince Regent, you don't have to worry about the Nu family." Bumbutai snuggled into Dorgon's arms and said quietly, "At this juncture, only you can turn the Qing Dynasty out of danger, and the Nu family will never hold back."
After a pause, he added: "I will never let Fulin hold you back."
Bumbutai was very aware of the situation of his mother and son. On the surface, Fulin was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and had a distinguished status. But whether it was Sony, the ministers of the two yellow flags, or Azige, Duduo, and other Qing clan clans, there were
Who really takes their mother and son seriously? Without Dorgon, where would we be today?
Now, mother and son are even more inseparable from Dorgon.
Because Hong Chengchou and other Han officials were only loyal to Dorgon.
Seeing that Bumbutai understood the general situation so well, Dorgon was greatly grateful.
At that moment, Dorgon's hands slipped down from Bumubu's slender waist.
When I started to put it on, I felt that my breasts were abnormal, and I thought that this woman was really the best. There were so many young and beautiful Fujins in Prince Rui's palace, but none of them could match her.
A faint blush appeared on Bumbutai's face.
"Prince Regent, please leave your body."
"It doesn't matter, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm thinking hard."
Bumbutai said no more and allowed Dorgon to undress and take off his belt.
The palace soon heard a murmur that made the palace maid blush and her heart beat.
…
In the blink of an eye, time came to January 20, the 22nd year of Chongzhen (1649).
The second batch of three new troops stationed in Taiwan was also sent to Dengzhou by the navy, and then rushed to Dagukou via the coast of Laizhou Bay to join the first batch of new troops stationed here.
At this time, the troop strength at Dagukou increased to 5 and a half.
Chongzhen immediately led the Ming army to land ten miles south of Dagukou.
Hu Guozhu led the cavalry to hold the platform as the vanguard and took the lead to land ashore.
The Mongolian night warriors wandering near the coast were quickly expelled.
However, these Mongolians did not collect food at night and reported it to Hong Chengchou as soon as possible.
…
"What?"
"The Ming army landed ten miles south of Dagu?"
After receiving the report that Mongolia was refusing to collect goods at night, Hong Chengchou's first reaction was disbelief.
Ten miles south of Dagukou? There is no big river or waterway there. What are the Ming army doing? Even if they get ashore, what will happen? Is it possible that they dare to attack the capital by land?
The Ming army really dared to take the land route, which made Hong Chengchou laugh out loud.
During the recent period, Hong Chengchou has been thinking about how to cut off the Ming army's food routes.
As a result, it was discovered that there were Ming army strongholds scattered over 900 miles from Dengzhou to Dagukou. Although the number of Ming troops in each stronghold was not large, only two to three hundred people, there would be a large-scale military base every hundred miles.
stronghold.
There are thousands of Ming troops in large strongholds, and they can quickly support them nearby.
Therefore, unless the Qing army mobilized heavy troops and carried red cannons to attack, they would not be able to capture it at all.
However, when mobilizing heavy troops to fight, they cannot hide it from the Ming army's scout cavalry. The Ming army will definitely send troops to rescue when the time comes. Moreover, the Ming army can march on the ice of the North Sea and use ice sledges to go faster. In this way, the situation will change.
It became a field battle, and field battles were what Hong Chengchou tried his best to avoid.
Hong Chengchou thought about it for a long time and found that he had nowhere to start.
But if the Ming army came ashore, that would be a different matter.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou never believed that Chongzhen would make such a low-level mistake.
At that moment, Hong Chengchou asked again: "Approximately how many Ming troops came ashore? How many cannons did they carry?"
Captain Ye Bushou reported: "Reporting to Hongbu Hall, there are at least hundreds of thousands of Ming troops who have come ashore, and there are at least a thousand gates of various types carried with them, as well as countless mules and horses."
"More than a hundred thousand people, thousands of cannons?!" Hong Chengchou was stunned.
What is going on? Are the Ming army really planning to go ashore and take the land route instead?
"Continue to investigate, I would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in Chongzhen Gourd."
After sending away the captain who had stayed away all night, Hong Chengchou invited Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Hou Fangyu over. Just before the Lantern Festival, Shang Kexi also led the garrison of Fuhekou Camp to Weihekou. Up to now, 120,000 Banners
The Han army and 40,000 green battalions have gathered at Weihekou Camp.
The Qing army was ready for a long-term confrontation with the Ming army at Weihekou.
As a result, he suddenly reported that the Ming army was going to take the land route instead.
"The Ming army is going to take the land route instead?" Kong Youde was also shocked when he heard this, "Hong Butang, didn't you and Hou Shenjun explain that the army will definitely not take the land route? What's going on?"
Shang Kexi also said: "If this is really the case, wouldn't the gun towers along the Wei River have been built in vain?"
Geng Zhongming also said: "It doesn't matter if Bai Xiu of the gun platform is repaired. The most critical issue is that if the Ming army changes to the land route, they can bypass the Weihekou camp. At that time, should we stand still or take the initiative to attack?"
"It's definitely not possible to attack proactively." Hong Chengchou shook his head, "We have no chance of winning in a field battle."
"Hong Butang means to stand still?" Kong Youde asked, "Let the Ming army advance?"
Shang Kexi continued: "If we stand still, the Ming army will definitely not be stopped by the bravery of the states and counties along the way. Although there are many blunderbuss along the canal, without the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Camp, we will not be able to stop the Ming Army."
, that is to say, if the Ming army fights forward regardless of all costs, they will be able to reach Chaoyang Gate within half a month!"
The hall of the bunker instantly became quiet, and Hong Chengchou's face also darkened.
After a long while, Hong Chengchou asked Hou Fangyu: "Hou Shenjun, what are your suggestions?"
Hou Fangyu smiled and said: "If the Ming army really changes to the land route, wouldn't it be exactly what you want, Hongbutang?"
"Having said that, it still requires the regent's trust." Hong Chengchou said somewhat sarcastically, "This department does not want to become the second Yuan Chonghuan."
"Hong Butang can rest assured about this." Hou Fangyu waved his hand and said, "The emperor and the regent will definitely not be Chongzhen, so you will definitely not become the second Yuan Chonghuan."
"The headquarters will be relieved if the marquis joins the army." Hong Chengchou said with relief.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were all confused. What riddles are you two playing? Why can't you understand what you are talking about? Can the gap between people really be so big?
…
The gap between people is indeed quite large.
Hong Chengchou and Hou Fangyu judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and thought that Chongzhen would imitate Huang Taiji's counterintuitive plan and use Dorgon's hand to get rid of Hong Chengchou.
At that time, the Qing army bypassed the Ningjin defense line and suddenly appeared outside the Guangqu Gate, which gave a huge stimulus to the Ming Dynasty monarchs and also paved the way for Chongzhen to kill Yuan Chonghuan later. Therefore, Hong Chengchou had to worry that if the Ming army bypassed Weihekou
If the camp suddenly appears outside the capital city, will it scare Dorgon?
Will Dorgon suspect him of colluding with the Ming army?
Then recall him to the capital and directly condemn him to death?
But in fact, Chongzhen had no such idea at all.
Chongzhen even just found out that Dorgon did not have a chariot to fight in person.
Therefore, there will never be any thought of using Dorgon's hand to get rid of Hong Chengchou.
In this Northern Expedition, Chongzhen used Yangmou, an upright strategy.
I will take the land route instead, and I will also build forts along the way to protect the grain road. If you have the ability, come and attack my grain road. If you have the courage, come and fight in the field.
If you don't have the courage to fight in the field, then be prepared to defend Beijing City.
Xu Yingwei and Yan Yingyuan still had concerns, but Chongzhen hoped to fight the decisive battle in the capital.
Because fighting the decisive battle in the capital means that the entire high-level Jiannu, including Dorgon, will be trapped in Beijing. If this battle is won, the Jiannu will be solved once and for all, unlike the Northern Expedition in the early Ming Dynasty.
It would be troublesome to fight half-heartedly and finally let the Mongols escape back to the desert and create another Beiyuan.
Therefore, as soon as the Ming army landed, they left an infantry brigade to repair the camp.
Of course, after the fort is repaired, the infantry brigade will continue to march forward, leaving only one infantry commander.
The Ming army advanced all the way to the west, sending troops to build forts along the way. Because the terrain was flat and all the rivers and lakes were frozen in winter, the army moved extremely fast.
In the evening, the forward cavalry had already advanced to the vicinity of Jinghai County.
The people responsible for guarding Jinghai County were a small number of Eight Banners soldiers plus 5,000 Lian Yong. They closed the city gate early and sent fast horses to Beijing and Weihekou camps to call for help.
However, the Ming army had no intention of attacking Jinghai County.
Although there are 4-inch field guns, there is no problem in breaking through Jinghai County.
But to conquer a county town, it would take half a month anyway.
Chongzhen didn't want to waste so much time here, there was no need.
Since there was a way to force Jiannu to attack, why did the Ming army take the initiative to attack the city?
If there is really no other choice but to attack the city, then it is better to attack the capital directly.
