Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 128 Chapter 128, Dorgon plans to attack, Zhu Cihong joins forces in Jinan
Shengjing City, the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon sat on the assistant king's chair with a golden sword, and said calmly: "Everyone, I just heard the news that the main force of the Ming Dynasty has gone south and started to counterattack the Shandong occupied by Li Zicheng." Judging from the movement of the main force of the Ming Dynasty, their idea should be to directly occupy Shandong and open up the connection with Jiangnan."

After listening to Dorgon's words, there was also a slight commotion among the ministers present at the conference.

In the past time, the Manchu Qing suffered a rare defeat in recent years, so when they heard the news of the Ming Dynasty, they were obviously not as confident as before.

Aixinjueluo Wakda said, "I wonder what Prince Rui plans to do?"

Wakda is the fourth son of Aixinjueluo Daishan, the Prince of Li, and the oldest of Daishan's living sons. Originally, Daishan preferred the seventh son Mandahai, but Mandahai is dead. After the battle in Shanhaiguan, Wakda has now become the actual controller of Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi.

Dorgon smiled slightly and said, "Of course I want to hear everyone's opinions."

Duoduo stood up in a timely manner and said: "In the battle of Shanhaiguan, the Qing Dynasty lost troops and generals. Everyone knows this. But I think it's not because the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were not brave enough to fight, but because some people made mistakes in command! "

Duduo's voice was extremely loud, and immediately made everyone subconsciously turn their attention to Jierhalang.

Duduo was almost talking about Jierhalang by name.

Facing Duduo's accusation, Jierharang's expression appeared extremely calm, without even a slight fluctuation.

Duduo didn't wait for the expected response, so he couldn't help being a little surprised. He glanced at Jierhalang and thought to himself, could this old thing have turned into a turtle?
So he said with some displeasure: "So this time, our Qing Dynasty should seize this opportunity to send troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty again, so as to wash away the previous shame in Shanhaiguan, and let everyone know that our Qing Dynasty can't do it." Victorious!"

After Duduo finished speaking, everyone present suddenly showed expressions of understanding.

It's not about what Duo Duo said, but everyone knows that Duo Duo is actually Dorgon's mouthpiece, and his words represent Dorgon's meaning.

It seems that Dorgon wants to send troops.

For a moment, everyone began to think about whether they should agree to send troops.

Dorgon looked calm, but in fact his mood was turbulent.

For the Qing Dynasty, this was a purely militarized country, and all the resources and systems of this country were for the service of war.

This was determined by the national conditions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After all, they were just a small country living in Liaodong. If they wanted to compete with the world-rich giants like the Ming Dynasty, they had to establish a national military system.

This kind of routine of the Qing Dynasty was the most commonly used by small countries in history when fighting against big countries, such as the Qin State in the earlier history of China, and Japan in World War II.

So this is doomed. Whoever wants to gain control of the Manchu regime, the best way is to make military exploits.

As long as they can win the battle, the whole Qing Dynasty will naturally obey the orders of the victors. From Nurhachi to Huangtaiji, this has been the case for decades.

Dorgon naturally wanted to inherit his father and brother's achievements, win a few more battles, and firmly grasp the Manchu regime.

After a while, Wakda spoke again: "If we want to continue to fight with the Ming Dynasty, should we continue to attack Shanhaiguan?"

This is also a question that needs to be answered. If there is another war, how should we fight?
Duoduo was confident, and said: "Shanhai Pass is indeed a tough nut to crack, so we will not beat him this time. We can choose to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Shanxi and take Datong and Taiyuan! As long as we conquer Taiyuan and Datong, then we can form a huge encirclement circle facing Beijing from the east, north, and west, and it will be no problem to attack and conquer Beijing in the future!"

After listening to Duoduo's words, Wakda couldn't help being surprised: "Shanxi? Isn't that the place Li Zicheng occupies now?"

Duoduo chuckled, and said proudly: "Yes, but our spies have already obtained the information. Since Li Zicheng fell in Baoding, he has transferred all the troops in Shanxi to Kaifeng, and he is going to fight again with the main forces of the Ming Dynasty. It's a showdown.

The current Datong and Taiyuan are controlled by Li Zicheng on the surface, but in fact the defense is very empty.As for the Ming army, their attention is all in the direction of Jinan and Kaifeng, and there is no way to take into account Taiyuan and Datong, which are thousands of miles away. Great opportunity! "

Wakda was shocked, and the other ministers of the Qing Dynasty were also shocked.

This strategy sounds very...

Wonderful!

Although Taiyuan and Datong are both northern cities of the Ming Dynasty, when it comes to population size, these two places are both "big cities" comparable to today's Shengjing City.

Duduo continued with a smile: "Everyone should have not forgotten who has been quietly doing business with our Qing Dynasty these years, and has been continuously reselling various military supplies from the Ming Dynasty to our Qing Dynasty, right? ? Yes, they are the Ming Dynasty Shanxi merchants from Shanxi! This time when our Qing Dynasty attacks these two places, we can also get the support of these Shanxi merchants, which is simply killing two birds with one stone. Don’t you want to enter these two cities? Rob the wealth and population of the Han people? If you miss it, you will really not have this opportunity in the future!"

Duoduo's words moved the hearts of all the ministers who discussed the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty.

Wakda gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then of course I support it!"

As one of the actual banner owners, Wakda's speech is quite influential. After he finished speaking, many ministers who discussed politics immediately expressed their agreement.

Soon, ministers of Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner such as Sony and Obai also agreed.

In addition to Duo Duo and Dorgon's Xiangbai Banner and Zhengbai Banner, the Six Banners have already agreed to fight.

Everyone's eyes fell on Jierhalang in unison.

Jierhalang said indifferently: "Since everyone has no objection, then I will naturally not object. But this time, I am old and frail, so I will not participate in this war."

Dorgon smiled slightly, and said: "Prince Zheng will take good care of His Majesty and our Daqing's community in Shengjing City. This time, it's my turn to earn back this face for Daqing!"

Since the whole plan was promoted by Dorgon, it is only natural that Dorgon will lead this expedition!
……

North bank of the Yellow River.

Zhu Cixiang looked at the roaring Yellow River in front of him and felt emotional in his heart.

This mother river, which gave birth to Chinese civilization, once raised the Chinese civilization in its infancy gently, but due to the erosion of water and soil for thousands of years, the Yellow River is getting yellower and yellower, and the temper of this mother river is also Getting more and more irritable.

On the south bank of the Yellow River is Jinan City, the capital of the Shandong Province of Daming!

Although the two sides were still facing each other across the river, Zhu Cihong could clearly see that there was a massacre outside the city of Jinan in the distance, and an army had already stationed in the west of Jinan.

With a happy expression on his face, the British Duke said, "Unexpectedly, Daming actually has a teacher who is diligent!"

Because the communication has been cut off all the time, it was not until three days ago that the main force of the Ming Dynasty who had entered Shandong got the news that Shi Kefa's [-] King Qin's division had already surrounded Jinan!

Zhu Cilang nodded with a smile, and said: "It seems that Lord Shi Kefa is indeed a loyal and brave man for the country."

Shi Kefa, the famous minister of the late Ming Dynasty, a national hero of China!
Zhu Cihong was also looking forward to it, wanting to appreciate this person's demeanor.

Thanks to the support of Shi Kefa's troops, the main force of the imperial court crossed the river mightily without any disturbance.

That evening, Zhu Cixiang and the British Duke set foot on the land on the south bank of the Yellow River.

As soon as he landed, a minister came over and said excitedly: "Chen Shi Kefa, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Cihong's eyes fell on Shi Kefa's body, and he found that this famous official in history was quite thin. Although his expression was a little tired, his eyes were bright and bright, and his straight body like a green pine was even more daunting. .

Zhu Cihong smiled, and took Shi Kefa's hand: "Master Shi, I have admired him for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed more elegant than the rumors!"

After listening to this sentence, the British Duke who was on the side couldn't help wondering, Shi Kefa was not a high official in the court before, let alone a big name, how could His Royal Highness have admired him for a long time?

Shi Kefa was also taken aback, but he subconsciously felt that this was the polite words of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he laughed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is absurd. Your Highness's words, in the future, even if you die of old age and die in the underworld, you can still be with me." The ancestors boasted a few words!"

The two laughed at the same time.

A while later, in the new tent of the Chinese army, Shi Kefa briefed Zhu Cihong, Ying Yinggong and others on the situation.

"His Royal Highness Haojiao learned that there are about [-] people under Weichen's command, but most of them are young and untrained, and there are about seven or eight thousand soldiers who can really fight. , [-] reinforcements from Yingtianfu and Jiangxi have already gone north, and will arrive in Jinan at about the end of the month!"

Zhu Cihong nodded and said with a smile: "With this batch of reinforcements, taking Jinan will be even easier. By the way, is there any news about Li Zicheng in Kaifeng?"

Shi Kefa said: "According to the information just obtained, Li Zicheng sent Li Yan to lead an army to rescue. It is said that there are 15 people, but I feel that there may be only 5 to [-]."

Zhu Cihong laughed: "Forty or fifty thousand people dare to come to rescue Jinan? It seems that Li Zicheng was not beaten enough by us!"
