Azig listened to Hong Chengchou's words, with an unhappy look on his face, and the gaze of the yin owl suddenly shot towards Hong Chengchou, "What did you say?"
”"Although Zhao Ming started a war with the Southern Ming Dynasty, both sides have not broken their muscles and bones, and the slaves think that the prince sent troops too early!"
Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice.The strategy of the Qing court was to take advantage of the internal struggle between Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yihai in the Southern Ming Dynasty to reap the benefits.However, how to collect this fishing profit is a problem.Hong Chengchou's meaning is to let Nanming fight again, and when the contradictions between the two sides are so big that they can't be reconciled, after killing the red eye, the Qing army will strike again.In this way, the possibility of the Tang and Lu factions moving towards a reunion is eliminated.Azig was furious, "Are you now telling this king to collect his troops?"
”Many Qing army generals also looked at Hong Chengchou angrily.After the Ming and Qing dynasties negotiated peace, the Manchus gained a respite and pacified and stabilized the north, but after all, they lost the rich regions of Huguang, Jiangxi and Jiangnan.In the past two years, there were no major wars, and the expenses of the Manchu court were reduced, but the taxes paid after the loss of the south were also reduced by more than half.Therefore, the military expenses obtained by the various departments of the Qing army were actually very limited.Although the cost of raising troops in the north is relatively low, and the green battalion soldiers can give food to eat, so that the Manchu Qing can maintain the Eight Banners while maintaining a green battalion armed force of hundreds of thousands of people, but after all, the Qing soldiers and soldiers have families, and it is obviously not enough to eat by themselves.In addition, after the death of Dolgon, the two white flags were suppressed, and the resources allocated were far less than before, and the nobles of the previous two white flags were used to spending lavishly, they grabbed more, spent more, and basically had no savings, and as soon as the Manchu court imposed restrictions, it was not easy for everyone to maintain the original luxurious life.Therefore, the Qing army's southward movement was not only in the interests of the nobles of the Eight Banners, but also supported by the Green Battalion.Now, the Xuzhou Army, more than 100,000 Qing troops, has just occupied several counties in Jiangbei, and has only reaped a little benefit, and is preparing to show off their skills and grab a lot of money, but Hong Chengchou said the same words, which is disgusting.In Azig's view, the two sides of Nanming have already turned their faces when they saw each other.It is impossible for Zhu Yujian to tolerate a Zhejiang existence that wants to overthrow him, and Zhao Ming and others oppose Zhu Yujian, so it is naturally impossible to accept the leadership of the Longwu Imperial Court.Moreover, the course of the war was full of accidents, Zhao Ming quickly captured Zhejiang, and broke through Zhenjiang in one day, which shocked the Longwu court and also frightened Azig.This made Azig have to worry that if his side has not sent troops yet, Zhao Zamao has already entered Nanjing, supported the new monarch, and obtained the internal recognition of the Southern Ming, then the Qing army will miss the opportunity to reap the benefits.Moreover, once the Zhejiang faction replaced the Tang faction, seized control of the Ming court, and established a new central government, judging from Azig's experience, I am afraid that the new Zhejiang court will be more difficult to deal with than the Longwu court.After all, He Tengjiao and others in the Longwu Dynasty are comparable to Zhao Ming and Zhejiang.Therefore, after Azig heard that Zhao Ming had captured Zhenjiang, he immediately went south, and judging from the experience of defeating the Hongguang Imperial Court at the beginning, Azig concluded that Zhao Ming would continue to attack Nanjing like Zuo Liangyu.Ten years ago, Azig drove Li Zicheng into Huguang, Li Zicheng drove Zuo Liangyu into Jiangxi, and the Qing army effortlessly destroyed the Hongguang court with the help of Li Zicheng and Zuo Liangyu.This time, Azig thinks that he will be able to repeat the battle of Yiyou, and get the maximum benefit at a very small cost.Now that the Qing army has gone south, it is impossible to collect troops, Hong Chengchou hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not what the slave meant!"
”"And what do you mean?"
Azig roared angrily Hong Chengchou raised his head and looked at Azig, not afraid, and said: "Since the troops have been dispatched, in order to prevent Zhao Zamao from reconciling with the Longwu Imperial Court, the servants think that the prince should not wait any longer, and should immediately attack and annihilate Li Guobu!"
”Annihilated Li Guo's 150,000 troops, the power of the Southern Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged, even if Zhao Zamao reconciled with the Longwu court, the Great Qing State was not afraid.Azig frowned, it was not an easy task to annihilate more than 100,000 Ming troops.Moreover, Azig went south with the intention of strengthening his own strength, and obtained the military funds of the Ming army in Jiangbei, and it was best to recruit and capture tens of thousands of Ming troops for his use.Now, the routed army is gathered at the mouth of the old river, preparing to fight the trapped beasts, if the Qing army launches a fierce attack, even if Li Guo is destroyed, Azig will suffer certain losses.There were many warlords in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and there were also mountains in the Manchu Dynasty, and Azig went south in order to strengthen his strength and reap the benefits, so as to prepare for his defeat of his political enemies Jierharang and Mandahai, not really for the Qing Dynasty to come desperately.If his Xuzhou Corps is gone, the cheaper ones are the two red flags and two blue flags that come from behind, which are to make wedding dresses for others.This is also the reason why he did not agree with He Luohui's intention to carry out a strong attack after seeing that the Ming army was on guard, but waited for the heavy artillery to arrive.Azig looked at Hong Chengchou for a while, knowing that what Hong Chengchou said was not unreasonable, but he still sneered and asked everyone: "Which of you agrees with Hong Shilang's words?"
”In the big tent, the two white-flag nobles, as well as the generals of the green battalion, all sneered.The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the drums were beaten by 10,000 people, Hong Chengchou was defeated by Zhao Ming, and he was imprisoned several times, and he had long lost the prestige of the year.Now that he has been reinstated, he has no military power, at most he is a staff officer, and he is not a commander, so no one takes him seriously.At this time, Li Guo had already become a turtle in the urn, and many generals of the Qing army also calmed down, and the white flag commander Bahana said: "A tiger is trapped within a radius of seven or eight miles, and as soon as the cannon arrives, the morale of the southern barbarians will be immediately discharged, why let the warriors bleed now!"
”The generals of the Han Army Banner on the side, as well as the generals of the Green Battalion, saw the people with the two white flags speak, and they all hurriedly echoed it, claiming that Li Guo was already a turtle in the urn, and a hard attack would only increase casualties, which was completely unnecessary.Hong Chengchou saw many Qing generals, but they refused to sacrifice, sighed, and stopped talking.Azig glanced at Hong Chengchou with disdain, and said loudly: "The cannon is here, and it will only take these two days, a tiger has been defeated and verticalized in the past few days, this king doesn't believe it, and he has killed the red eye, and Zhao Zamao can change his course in such a short time." ”Azig glanced at the generals and continued, "Tong Yangjia, you urge the artillery team to speed up.He Luohui, you guard against Yangzhou, and then the king will send people to the old Jiangkou to surrender, if you can not cut the blood, get tens of thousands of troops, this king will get a big help when he goes south. ”A strong force like Donghai Town, in a desperate situation, thousands of people surrendered to Azig.Now Li Guo's more than 100,000 troops are trapped, and when the artillery arrives, bombardment of a few cannons, the morale of the Ming army will inevitably collapse, and if Li Guo's loyalty can be obtained, then Azig's strength will skyrocket in an instant.()
