Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 175 Chapter 175, Emperor Chongzhen got good news again, Dorgon had no choice but to withdraw his troops
Beijing City Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Chongzhen sat, frowning.

For this Great Ming Supreme, he had this expression for most of his time in power.

In fact, he has smiled more in the past few months than he has in the past 17 years.

Chongzhen said: "Is there still no news from Lang'er?"

Chongzhen asked this question almost every day.

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "There is no news yet, I will go out and ask you again."

After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen looked at the cabinet ministers in front of him again, and said, "How is the situation in Jiangnan?"

Fan Jingwen hurriedly said: "Returning to Your Majesty, food and materials from Jiangnan are continuously being transported to the capital, but the Nanjing side is still quite worried about Zuo Liangyu going south at any time, and I hope that Your Majesty can quickly mobilize troops and horses to support Nanjing. Defeat Zuo Liangyu."

After Zuo Menggeng's death, the conflict between Zuo Liangyu and the court has almost become public, and everyone knows this well.

Chongzhen snorted, and said with some displeasure: "Zuo Liangyu, I will deal with him sooner or later, but not now. By the way, how is the war between Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong?"

Chongzhen felt a little rejoiced, if Zhang Xianzhong hadn't come out suddenly to fight Zuo Liangyu, the entire south of the Yangtze River would have been poisoned by Zuo Liangyu.

Don't think that Zuo Liangyu would have any sympathy for the people of the Ming Dynasty because he was from the Guan Ning Army. In fact, the various evil deeds of rape and robbery secretly submitted by the local officials have already been piled up in the Sanfa Division. on the desk.

It's just that in the situation before the court, Zuo Liangyu was really powerless.

Fan Jingwen said: "Recently, the two sides are still in a confrontation. There are many small battles, and the big decisive battle has not yet broken out. Zuo Liangyu is frantically plundering food from the two lakes and Jiangxi to use as military rations. He feels that he may not be able to sustain it for too long. "

Chongzhen asked curiously, "What about Zhang Xianzhong?"

Fan Jingwen said: "Zhang Xianzhong is a bandit himself, he doesn't belong to the regular army like Zuo Liangyu, so he has more crooked methods and will last longer than Zuo Liangyu."

Chongzhen sighed a little, knocked on the table, and said: "I really hope that these two people will die together."

Fan Jingwen and the others did not answer the words. Everyone knew that this was just a beautiful imagination of His Majesty.

Regardless of whether it is Zuo Liangyu or Zhang Xianzhong, once the two of them win, it will definitely not be good news for Ming Nanfang.

The current long-term confrontation between the two sides is the most beneficial for Daming.

It would be even better if the two could confront each other until Daming completely resolved the northern issue.Of course, this is not realistic.

At this moment, Wang Chengen walked into the imperial study, holding a battle report in his hand, with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Xiangcheng destroyed Jiannujierha outside Ningyuan City. Lang's troops beheaded and captured more than 1 people!"

When Chongzhen heard the words, his body was shocked, he was both surprised and happy: "Okay, it's really great!"

The other cabinet ministers present were also beaming.

Li Banghua couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this is our Daming's victory over Jiannu in the field battle, it is really very commemorative!"

Several other ministers spoke one after another, all kinds of boastful words.

"His Royal Highness really has the style of Taizu and Chengzu!"

"The Ming Dynasty swept across the desert, and the day when the slaves were established should not be far away!"

Chongzhen also heaved a sigh of relief, his face full of joy.

"It seems that Lang'er does have some military talents." When Chongzhen spoke, his face was obviously a bit smug.

My son!

Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said with a smile: "So, the crown prince should return to court soon, right?"

Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Judging from the memorial sent back by Uncle Xiangcheng, it seems that the crown prince has led his army to pursue Jierhalang's troops to Jinzhou."

"What?" Chongzhen was completely stunned.

"Zhu Cihong has arrived in Jinzhou?" Dorgon's shock in Taiyuan City can be imagined when he heard the news.

After several seconds, Dorgon slapped the table with a bang, "What did this Jierharang do to be defeated so easily by Zhu Cihong?"

Dorgon was really angry.

As a political enemy, Dorgon is of course not disgusted with Jierhalang's failure, and even a little happy.

But the problem is that Jierharang's failure has now affected Dorgon, and that's different.

Hong Chengchou was sitting next to Dorgon, and hurriedly said: "Master, didn't you also have a will before? Just ignore it."

Dorgon looked at the decree in front of him with a very ugly expression, and said after a while: "This decree...is not something that can be ignored casually."

The decree was not only stamped with the jade seal of Emperor Shunzhi, but also the private seal of Empress Dowager Dayuer, and was signed by a large number of ministers including Dai Shan.

This shows one thing, all the high-level Manchu and Qing officials in Shengjing have sensed the imminent danger and demanded that Dorgon withdraw immediately!
Even if Dorgon is the auxiliary king, it is impossible for him to be outraged by this. Otherwise, wouldn't he force everyone to Jierhalang's side, and instead make Jierhalang a blessing in disguise?
Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made up his mind: "Come on, hurry up and find Doduo within [-] miles, and ask Doduo to withdraw immediately and return to Taiyuan to organize the defense line, and prepare for the next possible offensive by the Ming army."

When Hong Chengchou heard the words, he immediately understood: "Master, is this going to withdraw the troops?"

Dorgon nodded slowly: "Originally, I planned to go back after almost winter, but now it's about the same."

Dorgon's idea is actually very simple. It is basically impossible to cross the steep Taihang Mountains to attack Shanxi in winter, so as long as winter comes, there is no need to worry about Shanxi's defense.

But now, due to Shengjing's urging, Dorgon must first lead the main force back to help and eliminate the Ming army that is besieging Jinzhou.

After the lack of the main force of the Qing army, the remaining Qing army must defend the Taihang Mountains before winter.

Dorgon decided to hand over this task to Duo Duo.

After making this decision, Dorgon also let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhu Cihong... This kid can interrupt my plan several times, hmph, it's really not easy."

When he said this, Dorgon's eyes were clearly flickering with murderous intent.

If given the chance, he would kill Zhu Cihong without hesitation, no matter what the price was!
