Chapter 225 Fan Three Articles
"Hahaha, Xiandou, get up quickly. Xiandou, don't blame you, the Fifteenth Master. He acts according to the rules of the bannermen and has absolutely no intention of being in trouble with you." Dorgon was very happy when he heard Fan Wencheng's statement and quickly comforted him. As for Duoduo, he must be extremely unhappy, so he could only write a letter to him to explain in detail.
"Prince, how dare I be resentful to Master 15? Please rest assured, since I surrendered to my Qing Dynasty in the 46th year of Wanli, I have been treated with the kindness of Taizu, Taizong and all the princes, and I have never been able to repay me. I have never had any second thoughts. I have not had it before, but now, and I will not be able to do so in the future." Fan Wencheng said hurriedly.
In fact, what Fan Wencheng really thanked was Jirgalang. It was his words that made him escape from the suffering of dire straits.
"Okay, that's good. Xianfong, let's get back to the point, let's talk about it, what do you think about the defeat of Boluo and how we will deal with it in the future?" Dorgon said.
"Return to the prince, in a hurry, I didn't think it through and didn't dare to talk nonsense to disturb the prince's audio-visual." Fan Wencheng still bent and said carefully, thinking about the words.
"It's mysterious!" Gang Lin curled his lips and thought to himself. He didn't like Fan Wencheng's appearance, and he seemed very humble, but in fact he wanted to attract attention?
"What big-tailed wolf is pretending to be?!" Qi Chongge was also not satisfied with Fan Wencheng's hypocrisy.
"Xian Dou, but it doesn't matter if you say it or not. Just say it, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." Dorgon saw that Fan Wencheng was actually confident, but he had to be humble on his face. He was not angry. As a Han, he was always hypocritical and not so happy.
"Okay, since the prince has not seen his guilt, I dare to say it out loud. There are three things that I can say for the two princes and the two adults to find out." Fan Wencheng bowed together, straightened his body, his eyes flashed, and his demeanor changed!
When Jirgalang saw it, he nodded secretly: "It seems that the matter of adjusting the flag hits Xian Dou's heart, and the confident and smart Fan Wencheng is back."
"First of all, in the eyes of the slave, the power of grenades lies in the guards, not in the attack. If I defend the strong city and high walls and shoot from a distance with a long bow and arrow, even if the Ming army has grenades in hand, they cannot throw them into the city, and even the city walls cannot be thrown up. Once we understand this, we don't have to be afraid that the Ming army will seize the existing territory of our Qing Dynasty. At least Zhejiang and Nanzhili will not be afraid of Li Chengdong's attack. Therefore, I think that as long as our army takes the defensive moment, even if the Ming army has a sharp weapon of grenades, it is not worth worrying." Fan Wencheng stretched out a finger and talked freely.
After he said the first sentence, everyone here nodded frequently, especially Dorgon, who highly praised Fan Wencheng's wisdom: "This is what Ganglin and Qi Chongge saw, but it was just fur."
"The second thing is that Boluobei's son is defeated, so he should only take the defensive position. Jiangxi and Hunan must speed up the offensive speed, not seize the city, but only open up the north-south passage. As long as you enter Guangzhou as soon as possible, you will be completed." Fan Wencheng stretched out his second finger and said.
"Hmm? What does this mean? It's understandable to take the defensive in the east. As I said just now, the Ming army relied on the power of firearms to defend more than anything but attack less than what they were. But why did the two sides of the west take the offensive?" Jiergalang, Ganglin, and Qi Chongge were both confused.
Only after hearing this, Dorgon's eyes lit up and immediately understood what Fan Wencheng meant. He slapped his thighs and raised his thumb to praise him: "My wonderful! It's really wonderful! Xian Dou is a great talent."
"Prince, why are you confused by me?" Gang Lin asked inexplicably.
"Hahaha... Ganglin, you are such a pig head. Xiandou said so clearly. You still don't understand the reason? That's right, if you have this brain, how can you show Xiandou? Xiandou, come and explain this fool." Dorgon laughed and pointed at Ganglin Yitong to ridicule.
Ganglin's face turned red and he smiled awkwardly, but he hated Fan Wencheng in his heart.
"Gang, Mr. Bei Zi began to march in February. Li Chengdong resisted twice at Xianxia Pass and Chongyangxi. Although our army suffered a lot, it was also a common tactic and did not use grenades. After that, he resisted one after another, and did not confront our army head-on, and then lured our army into Zhangzhou step by step, and then counterattacked. Why? On the surface, it seemed that he was luring me into deep, and then using grenades to catch me off guard. In fact, in Fan's opinion, they were delaying our army's actions, with the purpose of winning time for the production of grenades. What does this mean? It means that grenades cannot be produced in large quantities, or the production volume is limited. They used all the grenades produced in the past six months to use the Fujian battlefield, and they could not take care of other battlefields at all." Fan Wencheng explained.
"If Zhu Youlang could produce grenades in large quantities, he would not have watched Tan Tai and Kong Youde go straight in. The war in Jiangxi and Hunan went smoothly, and there was no news of grenades, which was enough to show this. Therefore, Jiangxi and Hunan must take advantage of the opportunity that Zhu Youlang is still in Fujian to enter and attack Guangzhou quickly. As long as he captures Guangzhou and takes over his military camp, how powerful can Zhu Youlang be?" Dorgon continued.
"Oh, - yes, yes." Ganglin and Qi Chongge suddenly realized.
"Xiandou, what about the third item?" Jirgalang understood after hearing this, let down most of his heart and asked.
"The third article is that the servants think that they must compete with Yongli for the people's hearts, especially the people's hearts in Jiangnan. In the past, our Qing Dynasty had the advantage of riding and shooting, and the Eight Banners warriors were invincible in the world. However, now I have no advantage in this regard. As Gang said, in front of grenades, war horses are no longer a helping force, but a burden. In this case, we must compete with Yongli for the people's hearts. Yongli is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty and has a natural advantage in fighting for what the Han people want. Therefore, our Qing Dynasty must change the previous various ill-fighting policies, punish and harm the people's officials, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. The disadvantages of weapons can be saved by other methods. If the people's hearts are lost, then half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River may no longer have me." Fan Wencheng said the third article with concern.
This one seems false, but it is actually true, and in his opinion, it is the most important one.
Without a strong army and losing people's hearts, why should the Qing Dynasty compete with others for the world?
If Zhu Youlang heard this, he would definitely appreciate it because it was the same as his philosophy - the decisive factor in the war was people, not one or two new weapons.
"Zhao Delin, Rhinma! You're cursing. My stomach hurts so much. No, I have to go back to the house to shit! Fourteenth brother, I'm thinking of sending the jujube to me..."
