On April 23rd of the first year of Qiongyuan, Shengjing.
After learning that the Incheon Port was under attack, some defeated Qing troops in the Incheon Port immediately rushed back to Liaodong to report the news. Then, when the Daping army arrived in Seoul and approached the city, the Qing army once again sent out urgent messengers. These two batches of messengers came one after another.
When he arrived in Dorgon's army, as soon as he learned that North Korea was in danger, Dorgon immediately summoned the banner owners and relatives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty banners and returned to Shengjing to discuss the sudden war situation.
"Hahaha——! I didn't expect that we would meet such a fool. He didn't concentrate his troops to fight the heroes of the Qing Dynasty, but instead sent troops to Mongolia and North Korea. How could they spread the beans and become an army? This Han dog is nothing
We can only use the trick of dividing the troops into several groups. Let’s use Father Khan’s old method! Let him come in any way, and we will go all the way. Gather all the troops out of Shanhaiguan and attack Beijing City. What tricks can the Han dogs use?
, will all disappear." Duduo, who had just arrived, said in a loud voice after hearing the North Korean war report.
However, Duduo's words did not arouse any resonance, and the others remained silent for the time being.
The people present here at this time are all people in power from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and they are also veterans on the battlefield. Therefore, these Manchu and Qing nobles all have a clear understanding of the current war situation.
The original plan made by the Qing army before the war was to encircle the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan for reinforcements, and to encircle and annihilate the Daping army that came to rescue. However, the current Daping army simply ignored the Qing army in the two cities and one pass, and instead went to attack
In the Mongolian grasslands and North Korea, we can know from the current war situation that the Qing army's encirclement and reinforcement plan has actually gone bankrupt.
But now the Qing army has no choice. They can either spare no effort to attack the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan; or, as Duduo said, concentrate the main force out of Shanhaiguan and fight the main force of the Daping Army outside Shanhaiguan.
However, this change of offensive and defensive positions will greatly increase the casualties of the Qing army. It will also completely fall into the strategic layout of the Daping Army. As long as experienced generals understand, as long as they fight according to the enemy's strategic layout, that is
If you lose the initiative, you will basically fall into a passive situation of being beaten.
Of course, the Qing army had another option. It was to ignore the Daping army around them and fight slowly in the cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan. But in this way, even if Ningyuan and Zhenyuan were captured by the Qing army, the people on the grassland would not be able to survive.
The pro-Manchu Mongolian tribes will be weakened, and North Korea will be managed and stabilized by the Daping Army. Then the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will immediately fall into a three-sided encirclement by the Daping Army. Even if it is slowly worn out, the Manchu Qing will eventually be worn out. Therefore, the Qing army must not
I will not make this "euthanasia" choice.
"Then why did Wu Ni's Han army appear in North Korea?" Daishan asked strangely.
"I heard that they took a sea boat and went over the sea. It seems that they were still on the boat of Zheng Zhilong of Fujian Province." Jierhalang replied.
"This Han dog has the heart of a wolf and a beast." Azig immediately cursed, "Then Zheng Yiguan sent people to Shengjing to ask for submission, and gave Wu Nihai a ship. What he just said was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
It's gone."
"How many Han troops are present in North Korea now?" Duduo asked at the side.
"I heard there were thousands of people! The troops in Seoul have been surrounded, and the athletes in Kaesong are also preparing to withdraw. If we don't send a large army, it is estimated that North Korea will be difficult to defend." Daishan replied.
"That's good!" Duduo immediately cheered up, "Brother Fourteen! Give me five thousand soldiers and horses! I will go to the border of North Korea and take the bannermen there. With tens of thousands of people, we can solve North Korea.
Brother Fourteen, you can also follow the original plan."
"Old Fifteen! Don't talk nonsense!" Daishan showed off his second brother's style and scolded Duduo. "Since the Han army can cross the sea to North Korea by ship for the first time, then they can do it for the second time. Maybe you
When you lead the troops to Seoul, there are already tens of thousands of them. And can you guarantee that the second batch of Han troops will definitely go to North Korea? If you bring all the troops east of Shengjing to North Korea, but the Han troops land in Liaodong,
Then Shengjing may be in danger."
"Coax——!" After hearing Daishan mention the possibility that the Daping Army might land at will through the coastline, the Manchu nobles immediately started whispering among themselves.
…
"Cough cough cough!" Dorgon deliberately coughed a few times to keep everyone quiet. Then he said: "If Wu Ni had enough ships, he would not only send a few thousand people at a time. Even if he could run more
This time, the maximum number of soldiers who came to Korea was 10,000. Fifteenth brother! I will give you 15,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 of our Eight Banners, and 10,000 Han military flags. It will be easy for you! If we can attack Seoul, we will take control of the King of Korea.
It is best to have it in hand; if we are unable to do so, we must block the Han army at the Yalu River and not allow the Han army to invade the foundation of our Qing Dynasty."
"Yes! Brother Fourteen!" Duduo accepted the order.
Dorgon continued: "In this war, even if there are thousands of strategies and thousands of means, in the final analysis, it depends on strength. When my father Khan raised his army with thirteen armors, how many dangers did he encounter? Didn't he also create our great nation?
The foundation of the Qing Dynasty? And although Wu Ni had fantastic ideas and sent troops to the Mongolian grasslands and Korea, does he have such a good appetite?"
"If the troops are divided, the Han army blocking Shanhaiguan will definitely be weak. Then I, the Qing Dynasty, will attack the weakest areas. Send an order: Count all the armies immediately and gather them at Shanhaiguan. I will personally lead the army in a decisive battle with Wu Ni.
As long as the Han army outside Shanhaiguan is defeated, Wu Ni's Beijing city will be easily accessible. He just needs to use a few more tricks outside, but as long as the Beijing city is gone, is it still a duckweed without roots?"
"And! Second brother! You stay in Shengjing to take charge of the overall situation. If there is any crisis, you must respond in time!" Dorgon ordered.
"Okay!" Daishan agreed.
"Prince Zheng!" Dorgon said to Jierhalang again, "You personally lead the troops along the coast and you will never let the Han army sit on the sea ship in Liaodong!"
"yes!"
"Brother Thirteen!" Dorgon then ordered Azig, "You and Sony and the others still have to trap the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan. For this decisive battle at Shanhaiguan, I will deploy some troops from the besieging cities.
So you must be careful and be on guard against the Han troops in the city rushing out of the city and breaking the encirclement."
"yes!"
"Keep the order going! Tell Abatai to stop wandering on the grassland. Bring your troops back quickly and prepare for a decisive battle with the Han army."
"twitter!"
…
After everyone had dispersed, Dorgon returned to his study. In the study, Hong Chengchou was waiting for Dorgon.
Seeing Hong Chengchou, Dorgon immediately asked: "Mr. Hong! Do you know who the original Commander Wu of Runing was? Please tell me all the details in detail."
Hong Chengchou looked at Dorgon's face and said, "Wu Changjing..."
