Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 144 Chapter 144, Dorgon is not in a hurry, Emperor Chongzhen is quite guilty
Taiyuan City.

The Qing Dynasty's siege of Taiyuan City had lasted for five days, and what made Dorgon a little headache was that the city was still holding on.

"Damn the Han people, they are clearly at the end of their ropes, yet they still dare to fight to the end!"

After Dorgon cursed a few words, he looked back at Duoduo beside him: "When will the Hongyi cannon arrive?"

It is very inconvenient to transport the heavy Hongyi cannon. For example, it is so-so on the grassland, but after entering the Taihang Mountains, it really can only be described as a turtle speed.

Duoduo said: "It is estimated that it will take three to five days to arrive."

Dorgon snorted and looked up at the city wall.

There, many soldiers of Manchu, Qing and Han Eight Banners were fighting bravely, trying to attack the city wall.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Han army from Li Zicheng's Dashun regime were also fighting hard, knocking down these soldiers of the Han Eight Banners.

"It's ironic that Han people kill Han people!" Dorgon smiled contemptuously.

After waiting for a while, Dorgon saw that there was indeed no chance, so he decided to withdraw his troops.

Back in the big tent, Dorgon sat calmly, but Duduo was a little restless.

Dorgon raised his head and glared at Duo Duo: "He's a prince after all, so he can't bear even a little setback?"

Duoduo shook his head and said, "It's not for this reason, Brother Wang. I'm worried that if we've been out for too long, will that old Jierhalang do something tricky in China?"

Dorgon chuckled, and said: "Da Yuer is watching him, what can he do? Besides, even if he really did something, after we go back, it will be in vain!"

For the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, victory is everything, and Dorgon with victory can do whatever he wants!

Is Dorgon winning?At least that's what he thinks now.

Datong has been conquered, and Taiyuan is besieging the city. Once the Hongyi cannon arrives, the northern part of Shanxi will be in the bag!

Dorgon didn't mind this kind of piecemeal victory at all. Didn't the Qing Dynasty just push the battle line from Hetuala to today's Shanhaiguan step by step?

To deal with a giant country like Daming, it is necessary to take a bite today and another bite tomorrow. After a long period of time, sooner or later, Daming will lose too much blood and die!

Dodo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a messenger who hurried into the tent.

The messenger said: "Your Majesty, the southern urgent report sent by Shanxi merchants is about the movements of the Ming army!"

Dorgon smiled immediately when he heard the words, and after receiving the letter, he signaled the messenger to go down, and then he opened the letter and smiled and said to Duo Duo: "Look, aren't these Shanxi merchants very useful? Originally, we still needed the help of Li Zicheng to get it." Get information, but now as long as you use the intelligence network of these businessmen, you can get all the news of the Ming country without knowing it."

Duduo also sighed: "You say these Han people, why are they willing to be traitors?"

Dorgon laughed and said: "What kind of traitors are not traitors? It is important to be rich, or to have the honor of being an imperial merchant? Merchants live for profit, and it is engraved in their bones to be desperate for profit. As long as it is beneficial, betray the country? It's a small matter."

Dorgon took out the letter paper, looked at the content on it, and then his face suddenly changed.

Duoduo knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?"

Dorgon was silent for a moment, and suddenly he laughed: "It seems that it should be the plan of the prince of the Ming Dynasty. It's interesting, very interesting. Come, see for yourself."

Duoduo took the letter, and after reading it, he was also stunned: "This Ming country is actually divided into two groups again?"

Dorgon laughed and said, "Yes, it seems that in the eyes of the prince, there is no difference between me and that old Jierhalang."

Duoduo felt upset, and said, "Brother Wang, we can't be underestimated by the Ming Kingdom like this, why don't we directly attack the Beijing City of the Ming Kingdom after taking Taiyuan, kill that British Duke, and let them know how to write wrong words! "

Dorgon pondered for a while, then said: "No way. Let's do this. Tomorrow, we will send people to block all the passages, so that the Ming army cannot come over."

Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "We don't attack, but we have to defend?"

Dorgon nodded: "Yes, defense is the most important thing now. This time, it is enough to win Datong and Taiyuan. After two or three years, turn this place into the real land of our Qing Dynasty, then It’s time to make progress.”

Duoduo was obviously very unwilling, and said: "But if this is the case, what if the Ming people destroy Li Zicheng?"

Dorgon laughed and said, "Li Zicheng still has more than half of Shanxi in his hands, and the whole of Henan and Shaanxi. How could he be wiped out so easily? Moreover, after we took Taiyuan and Datong, we directly fought against Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty." Now that we are bordering, wouldn't it be more convenient to meet him then? Take a step back and say, even if Li Zicheng really died, wouldn't there still be Zhang Xianzhong!"

Duoduo was convinced now, and said: "Brother Wang is brilliant, really brilliant!"

Beijing City.

"What, only the Duke of England led an army of [-] to the north, and Ci Hong brought [-] troops to trouble Li Zicheng?"

When Chongzhen heard this, his expression was quite wonderful.

Not only Chongzhen, but the elders present also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhu Cihong's decision was once again beyond their expectations.

Fan Jingwen couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, although the old minister doesn't understand military matters, is the Crown Prince's move too confident?"

Li Banghua coughed, and said: "Judging from the past achievements of His Highness the Crown Prince, it is not His Highness's style to be unconfident."

Emperor Ming: "..."

Although Zhu Cihong is indeed in this style, why does it feel so subtle?
Chongzhen said: "This is too risky, how can it always be like this?"

In Chongzhen's view, taking risks is certainly not impossible, but every time he takes a risk, he is suspected of committing suicide.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

It is absolutely impossible for Chongzhen to watch Zhu Cihong sink to the bottom of the river. He is his precious son and the future successor of Daming.

Chongzhen looked at the important officials of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, and said, "Can you gentlemen think of a way to let me persuade Hong'er?"

All the ministers: "..."

After a while, Fan Jingwen said: "Your Majesty, if it comes to other matters, I have some ideas. But now it's a war, and my minister...it's really difficult."

As the elder of Ming Dynasty, who can stand in front of Chongzhen to discuss matters, which one is not full of calculating skills?
But the problem is that now Zhu Cihong is fighting for Daming, and if he wants to count Zhu Cihong, he must meet the two conditions of "being good for Daming" and "being able to win the war", which will not work out.

Chongzhen: "..."

Chongzhen thought for a while, and said helplessly: "So, it's really impossible to dissuade Lang'er?"

All the ministers shook their heads in unison.

Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Royal Highness has always been able to win, and this time it should be the same. Your Majesty need not worry too much."

Chongzhen was silent for a while, then sighed: "I can only hope so."

Just when Chongzhen was still extremely entangled, Zhu Cihong had already led [-] soldiers and horses under his command to the city of Yongnian.

The population of Guangping Prefecture is actually quite large, but it is not too much for the whole of Beizhili.As the seat of Guangping Mansion, Yongnian City's positioning is similar to that of Guangping Mansion. It is larger than ordinary cities, but it is far inferior to big cities like Baoding.

Li Zicheng had obviously made preparations. There was a large camp on the mountain outside the city. Judging from its shape and size, it should have accommodated about [-] soldiers and horses. It just formed a rivalry with Yongnian City.

Zhu Cilang watched this scene, nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Zicheng has put some thought into it."

Standing beside Zhu Cihuang, Li Guozhen asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "What else can I do? Of course, wait until the Hongyi Cannon arrives."

The system didn't seem to trigger the sign-in task, so Zhu Cihong naturally had no choice but to choose hard power.

But if you think about it carefully, the hard power of the Ming army is indeed stronger now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Cixiang turned around and walked back to the tent, not forgetting to tell Fang Gongqian: "Go and bring Li Yan here again."

After hearing the news, Li Zicheng also came to the city wall, looking nervously at the Ming army outside the city.

After watching for a while, Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief: "There are only about [-] soldiers and horses, which is okay."

When Li Zi divided his troops to Li Yan before, there were only 4 people left, but after he decided to cross the Hebei River, he frantically recruited all the way, and now his troops have once again expanded to [-].

This kind of behavior naturally led to the human tragedy of countless wives and children, but now Li Zicheng doesn't care about it.

With one hundred thousand troops, Li Zicheng is confident that he can still compete with Zhu Cihong, and even win.

Beside Li Zicheng, Li Guo was gearing up: "Your Majesty, these Ming troops are too rampant, and they still want to play some tricks to win more with less. Let's kill this bullshit prince this time, so that the emperor will be old You also know how powerful we are!"

Li Zicheng shook his head slightly, disapproving of Li Guo's optimism.

It would be great if Dashun was really this strong.

Li Zicheng said: "What is Jiannu's reaction now?"

Li Guodao: "Judging from the latest news, Jiannu should still besieging Taiyuan."

Li Zicheng snorted, his face very ugly.

These damn Jiannu, who agreed to attack Daming and help Li Zicheng to share the pressure, are actually taking advantage of the fire to rob.

But Li Zicheng couldn't attack yet, otherwise Jiannu would really retreat, and the 15 Ming army would overwhelm Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng would really have no hope at all.

I'm aggrieved, really aggrieved.

Li Zicheng put his hand on the battlements, talking to himself.

"One day, I want these damn Jiannu to pay the price for my contempt and humiliation just like Daming!"
