Chapter 644 The Sap from the Ming Dynasty (please subscribe)
If you are obedient, you will naturally be reorganized!
If he is disobedient, let him serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield and fill the gap between Ming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty!
Wu Sangui's thoughts were very clear and he hardly concealed them.
However, although the soldiers and horses in the three towns of Gansu and Shaanxi knew Wu Sangui's thoughts, they did not dare to disobey Wu Sangui's will because of Wu Sangui's majestic victory over Obai in the battle of Guanzhong.
Facing Wu Sangui's orders, they could only obey them obediently!
Then as Wu Sangui prepares to conquer Huguang in the south!
…
Beizhili, Beijing!
Less than half a month after the Battle of Yangzhou ended, the relevant battle reports were already sent to the capital along the Grand Canal, traveling eight hundred miles.
The news that Fei Yanggu, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, was captured and that the entire Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River was annihilated was like a big bomb that almost exploded the entire capital the moment it arrived in the capital.
Everyone was shocked by this news!
Originally, the entire Qing Dynasty had made plans to sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui fight to the death in Huguang and Henan, and then they cheered and watched the show.
Unexpectedly, before the Ming Dynasty went to war with Guan Ning's army, the Ming Dynasty actually gave the Qing Dynasty a stick!
With this stick, the Qing governor of Liangjiang was knocked out, the Qing defense line in Jiangbei was knocked out, and an Eight Banner leader was knocked out.
All I can say is good guy!
This stick is really painful!
Facing this sap attack from the Ming army, the entire Qing Dynasty was so dizzy that they were unable to react.
After the battle report came, the Borzigit family, the remaining banner owners of the Eight Banners, and the cabinet ministers gathered together again to prepare for discussions.
The Borzigit family listened to the government behind the curtain, and Kangxi sat on the main seat with a look of dignity, his little face full of seriousness.
Ao Bai returned to the capital from Shanxi with a dejected look on his face. Compared with him before, he was now visibly older.
His tall figure became stooped, his strong body became withered and shrunken, his hair and beard were all gray, his droopy face, and the dense age spots on his face made him look old, as if he was eighty or ninety years old.
It was in sharp contrast to the rosy-faced and majestic Oboi from before.
"Let's all talk about it. The situation in Jiangbei has become like this. What should we, the Qing Dynasty, do?"
"Should the Qing Dynasty send troops to regain Jiangbei, or should we continue to shrink the defense line to Huai'an!"
The fall of Yangzhou meant that a hole was opened in the Qing's defense line in Jiangbei.
It also represents the collapse of the Qing Dynasty’s Jiangbei defense line!
Next, the Qing court had only two choices.
The first is to withdraw troops to the Huai'an front line and rely on the Huaihe River to rebuild the defense line.
The second is to assemble heavy troops withdrawn from Hubei and Henan to counterattack Jiangbei with all their strength, recapture Yangzhou, and rebuild the Jiangbei defense line.
For a while, everyone in the Qing court was a little undecided!
These important officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were constantly expressing their opinions, and some even started to quarrel, and even wanted to take action directly.
Mr. Borzigit looked at Obai and couldn't help but ask.
"What does Ao Shaobao think of this matter?"
After Borzigit said these words, Obai still sat there blankly, his eyes dull and without any reaction.
It was as if he didn't hear what Borzigit said.
Seeing this, Mr. Borzigit was not angry, he thought to himself.
It seems that the defeat in Guanzhong hit Ao Shaobao too hard!
Now Ao Shaobao looks completely stupid!
"What does Ao Shaobao think of this matter?"
Borzigit asked.
Suk Saha, who was next to Obai, saw that he had not responded, so he patted Obai's arm gently and reminded him.
"Ao Shaobao, the Queen Mother is calling you!"
Only then did Obai break free from his own world, and the expression on his face became lively again.
However, his eyes were still confused.
Seeing this, Mr. Borzigit was not annoyed, and just spoke again.
"The Ming thieves crossed the river and captured the city of Yangzhou. Our Qing Dynasty's defense line north of the Yangtze River was breached."
"In response to this, should the Qing Dynasty shrink its defense line to the Huai'an area and rearrange the defense line, or should it mobilize troops drawn from Henan and Hubei to counterattack Yangzhou and recapture the Jiangbei defense line?"
"What do Ao Shaobao think of this?"
When Obai heard this, he pondered for a while and then spoke.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I feel that the Qing Dynasty should shrink its defense line as soon as possible and re-defense in the Huai'an area."
"It is extremely difficult for the Qing Dynasty to defend the city against the soldiers and horses of the Ming rebels, let alone send troops to counterattack and fight in the field with the Ming rebels!"
"I don't suggest that I, the Qing Dynasty, fight against the Ming thieves!"
After Ao Bai's defeat in Guanzhong, he was already demoralized, and now he has become quite conservative, living up to his arrogance and arrogance back then.
Their eyes met one after another, and everyone sighed.
The gap between today's Ao Bai and him back then is really not that big!
Now there is no light in Obai's eyes!
At this moment, Aixinjueluo Jieshu stood up and suggested.
"Now the Ming thieves have mobilized their elite main force to rush into Huguang to fight against the traitor Wu Sangui!"
"The hinterland south of the Yangtze River is empty. How can we, the Qing Dynasty, give up this great opportunity?"
"At this time, deploying troops to counterattack Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, or even crossing the river to threaten the Ming thief's capital, and flanking the Ming thief with the Wu thief, is the best choice for the Qing Dynasty!"
Although he was unwilling to do so, Jieshu had to admit that the Ming Dynasty was the strongest among the three forces competing for the world.
The power of Wu Sangui's side has also surpassed that of the Qing Dynasty, becoming the second largest.
The Qing Dynasty became the weakest among the three forces!
The Qing Dynasty entered the customs and wanted to save the current defeat it was facing, but there was actually no good way.
The easiest way is to join forces with the second child to defeat the boss!
The second and third oldest brothers worked together to suppress the boss's advantage, and then brought the three parties back to the same level.
In this case, it is possible for the Qing Dynasty to make a comeback!
If the Qing Dynasty now sits back and watches the Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui attack each other, the final result will most likely be that after the Ming Dynasty has defeated Wu Sangui, it will turn around and give the Manchu Qing a stick.
The Manchus and the Qing Dynasty also did not believe that Wu Sangui had the power to defeat the Ming Dynasty!
The Manchus and Wu Sangui were on the same page not long ago and wanted to kill each other, but now they are at loggerheads.
It can only be said that the changes in the world's situation are so unpredictable!
Jie Shu's words made everyone feel moved.
However, Obai couldn't help but stand up and throw cold water on him.
"No, I must not do it!"
"Our Qing Dynasty has limited troops now!"
"The Qing Dynasty simply cannot mobilize the troops that can be used to counterattack Jiangbei, or even mobilize troops to attack Jiangnan."
In the past few years, the Qing Dynasty's military losses have been extremely serious.
