At the beginning of August, the city of Beijing, the residence of the imperial father regent.The first half of this year was supposed to be a very good year for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.The Qing army successively achieved great victories in the two battlefields of Sichuan and Huguang, Haoge led the army to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, occupied most of Sichuan, Duoduo led the army into Huguang, defeated the Huguang Ming army, and almost laid the overall situation of dominating the world.But at this moment, there was bad news in Jiangnan, the general of the Great Qing Dynasty, Ruizhong Belebolo, was killed by the Ming army.was killed together with Bolo, and there were more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and the offensive and defensive momentum of Jiangsu and Zhejiang reversed.When the news reached Beijing, the families of the Eight Banners in the city immediately cried, and their families were mourned, grief and indignation, and they asked for war to avenge their relatives.This greatly shocked Dolgon and the Manchu court, and after taking stock, the Qing Dynasty had actually destroyed the three clans of Tunqi, Nikan, and Boluo in Jiangnan, as well as a number of battle-hardened generals such as Zhun Ta and Li Shutai.This has to make the Manchu Qing Dynasty pay attention to it, and continue to let the Ming army in Zhejiang steal it, and the essence of the Great Qing Kingdom may be slowly consumed so unconsciously.At this time, in the regent's mansion, Dolgon's gloomy face sat in the central hall, and below him knelt a group of Manchu servants wearing black official robes and red-crowned hats.Each man bowed his head to the ground and his buttocks raised high as a sign of respect for his master.At this time, Dolgon's face was gloomy: "It's not a pity that Bolo died, but what is hateful is the life of more than 10,000 warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty." ”As he said this, Dolgon's heart was almost bleeding.The total number of soldiers of the Eight Banners was less than 180,000, and many people had already died of illness after entering the customs, and now they have lost more than 10,000 people, and the losses of the Eight Banners have approached 30,000.This rate of loss has exceeded the rate of population growth of the Eight Banners, which has aroused the vigilance of the high-ranking nobles of Manchuria.The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are relatively easy to supplement in the middle, and the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia are really one less dead, and if there are a few more major wars, the Manchurians are estimated to be dead.Everyone in the hall was on the ground, not daring to make a sound, Dolgon continued: "This Zhao Ming, who is it, if this king is not mistaken, the killing of Tunqi and Nikan is also related to him!"
”He Luohui, the minister of the two white flags, said: "Back to the regent, Tunqi was shot to death by Zhao Manzi, Nikambel was captured in Suzhou, and Zhao Manzi was also in the city at that time. ”Dorgon gritted his teeth, "This king is going to kill this brute!"
”The people below also agreed, Zhao Manzi should die, and the Qing Dynasty will take revenge.Dolgon and the others scolded for a while, feeling that they couldn't get rid of their hatred, and waved their hands, "You also know the situation in Zhejiang.This king asks you, how should the Qing Dynasty solve the thief army in Zhejiang!
”Everyone talked about it, and after a while, an official with a white face and a round face and a mustache kowtowed: "Back to the regent, the slave thinks that although the thief army won a lucky victory in Zhejiang Province, the general trend has not changed.I am the Qing Dynasty, as long as I maintain the existing advantages, consolidate the place, and it is not difficult to destroy the false Ming!
”It was Fan Wencheng who spoke, one of the main thinkers of the Manchu court.When Dorgon saw him speak, he decided to listen carefully, "Tell me more about it!"
”Fan Wencheng saluted and said: "Regent, the slave carefully observed the situation in Zhejiang, the king of Yu had been pacified, and now the thief army has risen again, the reason for this is that after the imperial court was defeated, the remnants of the enemy were not completely resolved, the place was not cleaned up, and officials were dispatched to govern, so the main force was withdrawn, which led to the resurgence of the thief soldiers." ”Dolgon nodded, this is indeed the case, the boiling in Jiangnan before was also caused by the Qing army's retreat to the south to escape the summer.Dolgon said in a deep voice: "You mean, this time mobilize troops to completely solve Zhejiang.But wouldn't Huguang and Sichuan be like Zhejiang!
”Fan Wencheng glanced up at Dolgon, and hurriedly explained: "What the slave means is that the Qing Dynasty has an advantage now, as long as the results are consolidated, the general trend of the world will be irreversible, and the Qing Dynasty does not need to be in such a hurry at all, if the land is not cleared, it is in a hurry to attack another place!"
”Dolgon frowned and said, "You mean to let go of the Zhejiang thief army for the time being?"
”Fan Wencheng said: "Regent, the Great Qing Kingdom has been in the customs for two years, and it has already owned eight points in the world, and the expansion is not unpleasant.For the Qing Dynasty, if the army is going well, it is a good thing, but if the army is not going well, it will be like Li Zicheng.The slave thought that the regent did not need to rush to wipe out the Zhejiang thief army, but should stabilize the north, as well as the newly occupied Sichuan and Huguang land, and send an elite army to support the stability of the situation in Jiangnan. ”Dolgon pondered when he heard this, he understood what Fan Wencheng meant, the land of the world, eight points in the Qing, and most of the granaries and anointed lands fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty.As long as the Qing Dynasty's rule in these places is stable and can mobilize the manpower and material resources of these places, the puppet Ming is not an opponent at all.After two years of entering the customs, the Qing army fought again and again, and it was indeed a little tired, and now to exterminate Zhejiang, it is necessary to draw a large number of troops from Huguang, and it is inevitable that the Huguang battlefield will be repeated again.This is a bit of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.Dolgon pondered for a while and nodded, "The Zhejiang thieves counterattacked western Zhejiang, not necessarily to relieve the siege of Huguang!"
Under the shaving order, the whole place has been cleaned up, and it is indeed an excellent time for me to clear the land, restore the place, and establish rule. ”Dolgon's voice changed, "However, the thief army occupies western Zhejiang and threatens Yuhang and Jiangning, so the soldiers and horses still need to be transferred!"
”The Manchu Qing Dynasty still had 150,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners, and there were more than 800,000 soldiers in the Green Battalion, which was quite strong, but although there were many men and horses, the soldiers and horses that could be used to support Jiangnan were also limited.After all, most of the green battalion soldiers can only be used to garrison the place and wipe out a small group of rebels, and there is no hope for a big war.The green battalion soldiers that the Manchus could use, that is, Wu Sangui's Guanning army, Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Wang Yongqiang, Gao Di, and the five towns of Hongguang, the elite men and horses who surrendered would not exceed 300,000 in total.Among them, Jiang Xiang, Wang Yongqiang and others still have to guard against the Mongols, and these warlords will not be willing to leave their nest to fight in Jiangnan.At present, the main force of the Qing army is divided into three battlefields: Sichuan, Huguang, and Jiangxi, and to reinforce Jiangnan, the only way to reinforce Jiangnan is to transfer troops from Beijing and Huguang, which has strong troops.Dolgon said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, order Duoduo to send 20,000 elites to reinforce Jiangnan, and then order Manda Hailing 10,000 banner soldiers to go south, replace Bolo, and preside over Jiangnan military affairs!"
”Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said: "The regent is wise, the Qing Dynasty consolidates the locality, integrates the northern and newly occupied enemies, and accumulates strength.During this period, you can also continue to recruit Zheng Zhilong and divide and disintegrate the pseudo-Ming.Now the pseudo-Ming is under the pressure of my Qing Dynasty, and it is twisted into a rope, once the pressure is slightly loosened, with the nature of a barbarian, it will inevitably fight inwardly.At that time, after the strength of our Great Qing Kingdom is accumulated, and then with the momentum of Mount Tai at the top, we will be able to break the enemy in one battle. ”At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did have many internal problems because of its rapid expansion.Perhaps these issues were suppressed and less important when the Qing army continued to achieve military victories on the front, and once the military setbacks were made, they would erupt.Locally, the Manchus needed to restore order, establish tight rule, eliminate anti-Qing forces, and stabilize the region.In terms of people's livelihood, the Manchus needed to resume production in order to obtain stable taxes and money.In the army, it is also necessary to reorganize the green battalion and strengthen control over the army.These things were not done because he was busy with the battle, and Dolgon couldn't help but bow slightly, "This king will first collect his fists and come back, accumulate strength, and then knock down the pseudo-Ming with one punch!"
”It's like two people fighting, after a punch is struck, the enemy is not knocked down, at this time it is natural to collect the punch back, accumulate strength, and then hit the fatal blow.Dolgon stood up and looked ruthless, "As long as this king integrates the eight parts of the world, establishes direct rule, and controls the grain of Huguang and Sichuan, the amount of pseudo-Ming will not be able to make any waves!"
