Chapter 167 Jiannu goes south

Let’s not mention that the Ming Dynasty is preparing for the war in full swing.

The Jiannu East Road army led by Duoduo finally headed south.

On October 19, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Dorgon appointed Ajige as the general of Jingyuan, and joined forces with Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and other Ming army surrendered generals. He led the Eight Banners Manchu, Eight Banners Mongolian and Eight Banners Han troops to Juyongguan and prepare to go to Xuanfu. Datong and Jiang Xiang and Wang Daye and other surrendered troops, then detoured through Tumot Mongolia and attacked Shaanxi from northern Shaanxi.

On October 24, Dorgon used Duoduo as the Great General of Dingyuan, and together with Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other surrendered generals, he led the Eight Banners Continent, Eight Banners Mongolian and Eight Banners Han troops to the south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and attacked Xuzhou through Shandong, preparing to fight a decisive annihilation battle in Xuzhou and wipe out the main force of the Ming army in one fell swoop.

When Ajige went to war, Dorgon did not go to see him off.

However, when Dodo's expedition to the south, Dorgon sent it to Tongzhou.

"Fourth Brother, it's cold, don't send it." Dodo said with a chained horse.

"It's okay, I'll give you another trip." Dorgon waved his hand and said, "There are a few more things to tell you."

Seeing that everyone else was far away and no one could hear the two brothers talking, Dorgon said: "The Twelve Lao is just a brainless guy, and he can do it in war, and he can't count on him in other things."

Duoduo said: "The twelfth brother is just this kind of virtue. If it weren't for the help of the Fourteenth Brother in recent years, let alone keeping the position of the small banner owner of the Zhengbai Banner, I'm afraid that he would not even be able to save his life. But he regards you as an enemy, the Fourteenth Brother."

"This is all because someone instigated it." Dorgon mentioned a very obscure sentence, not explicitly saying Huang Taiji.

In fact, because of Huang Taiji's deliberate suppression and secret instigation, Ajige once regarded Dorgon as his enemy. It was not until Huang Taiji died that the relationship between the two brothers gradually recovered.

Huang Taiji used this matter not to conspire, but to conspire.

Huang Taiji seized Ajige's fault and directly demoted him to the small banner master or deputy banner master of Zhengbai Banner, and gave him the position of the banner master to Dorgon. After Ajige was punished, he exuded his anger on Dorgon's head, which was typical of being in a nest. However, Dorgon still knew the principle of killing the tiger brothers and did not care about Ajige.

This time, the troops were divided into two groups and Ajige won the commander of the Western Army again.

If Dorgon hadn't supported him, relying on Ajige's own ability, it would have been a delusion to be the head coach. I wouldn't say that Daishan and Jirgalang are old qualifications, but only Haoge, not only that he is stronger than Ajige's war, but his status is more noble than him, but he is still the emperor's brother, and he is not more qualified to be the head coach than you Ajige?

Dorgon continued, "Anyway, you remember the fifteenth brother, I have never expected the twelfth brother."

Duoduo was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, because the Fourteenth Brother was no longer a hint, but an explicit statement, which meant that the future throne would definitely belong to him or his son, and nothing happened to Ajige.

At that moment, Duoduo said, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, I know how to do it."

"Just understand." Dorgon nodded, "In this battle against the Southern Ming Dynasty, you not only want to win, but also win beauty. It is best to be able to capture Chongzhen alive, so that you can force Chongzhen to abdicate directly. In addition, don't repeat the mistakes of Oboi and others. Don't underestimate Chongzhen and divide your troops to Shandong."

With a cold snorting, Dorgon said again: "The Han people do have many capable people and strangers, but these capable people and strangers are the most likely to make mistakes that are highly conservative."

"For example, this expert who designed the Xuzhou defense line and Shandong defense line for Nanming."

"This person's foresight is probably not under Ning Fanhong and the other two. The horn-shaped force designed with the Xuzhou defense line as the main and the Shandong defense line as the auxiliary is indeed a bit difficult, because whether our Qing soldiers are plundering Shandong or Xuzhou, they may be cut off the food route behind them by the Ming army in another direction."

"If the war is not going well at this time, it is easy to fall into the state of exhaustion of food and assistance."

"That's it." Duoduo said deeply, "So, do you really want to let Shandong ignore it?"

"I really don't care." Dorgon nodded lightly and said, "Didn't I just say that the Han people's capable people always make mistakes of being very proud. This master of the Southern Ming Dynasty also made a fatal mistake. He ignored a very important fact, that is, our Qing soldiers do not need to leave a way out, and they don't care that the food channels are cut off at all!"

Duoduo said with a hug: "That's true. My Qing soldiers were invincible in the field battle. The back road was cut off and it could be opened again. The food route was cut off, and you could raise grain on the spot. These were not a problem at all."

"So you don't have to worry about Shandong, just drive the army to Xuzhou." Dorgon said, "Win a beautiful victory in Xuzhou and wipe out the main force of the Southern Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. It is best to capture Chongzhen alive."

Duoduo said, "Fourth Brother, are you saying that Chongzhen is still in Xuzhou?"

"It must be there." Dorgon nodded and said, "Fifteenth brother, haven't you heard of it? On the day the thief entered Beijing, Chongzhen ran to the coal mountain to hang himself but did not die, but instead realized the truth by accident."

Duoduo laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "How come the Fourteenth Brother believes in the legends of these Zi Wuxu?"

"It's not that we believe it or not, but that Chongzhen is indeed different." Dorgon said solemnly, "In short, 15th brother, you must put away your contempt for him. This time, Zhengming only allows victory but not defeat."

"Yeah!" Duoduo's expression also became serious, and he immediately started to take a thousand hands on the back of the horse.

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is also Haoge, don't let him make too many military achievements."

"I understand." Dodo smiled, "just let Haoge's Zhenglan Banner stay behind to protect the safety of the food channel."

"Okay, I've said everything I should say, just send it here." Dorgon stopped his horse and said, "The 14th brother is waiting in Beijing for you to return to the court with victory."

"Okay, I promise not to disappoint my 14th brother."

Duoduo agreed and then rode his horse and left.

Then Duoduo's scolding sounded from the canal pier.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "What are you going to do? Move quickly, and move the food, supplies and ship onto the boat!"

"Be careful, if you spill the food, I will peel your kid's skin carefully!"

"Where is the King Gongsun? Where is the King Gongsun? Have the newly-made red-clothed cannons been shipped?"

As Duoduo shouted loudly, bags of grain, bunches of fodder and carts were carried onto the canal ship, and finally they were red-clothed cannons one by one.

The entire dock was hustle and bustle.

...

Haoge looked at Tongzhou Canal Pier with a cold expression.

Most of the Jurchens are tall, while Haoge has a particularly burly figure. They are nearly six feet tall and have sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes. They can be said to be a rare beauty among the Jurchens.

At least Dorgon, who has a short figure, cannot compare with Haoge.

Dorgon inherited more of his mother Abahai's short gene, less than five feet long.

Because Dorgon had a short figure, Huang Taiji wanted to praise him for his majestic figure, but he could only praise him for his smart mind and was the smart king of the Later Jin Khanate.

This is how Prince Rui came about.

Although Haoge is Dorgon's nephew, he is three years older than Dorgon and five years older than Dodo.

Therefore, whether in terms of status, military achievements or military leadership experience, Haoge is more qualified to serve as the position of commander of the Eastern Route Army than Duoduo.

It’s a pity that Dorgon’s support is behind Duoduo.

Today, no matter how reluctant Haoge is, he must admit that Dorgon's climate has become. Now even veterans like Daishan and Jirgalang are trampled by Dorgon, let alone others.

Zhenglan Banner Jialaezhen Yibai also saw this and advised Haoge: "Master, Dorgon, Ajige and the three brothers of Duoduo are powerful. If we fight hard, we will definitely not be able to fight the two white flags, so we will bear the momentum for a while."

"I know, I won't do it recklessly." Haoge exhaled a breath and suddenly laughed, "Even if Duoduo deliberately angered me and forced the warriors of the Zhenglan Banner to follow the Eight Banner Mongolia and the Eight Banner Han Army to marching, it's nothing. Isn't it just taking a few more steps and not exhausting people, right?"

Ibai said: "It's great that the master can think so."

"Let's go." Haogeler turned his horse's head and joined the marching formation of Zhenglan Banner.

The moment he turned around, Haoge felt a pair of eyes looking at this side from the dock. Needless to say, this must be Duoduo. This guy, like Dorgon, was still worried about the failure to kill him Duoduo last year. After all, for Dorgon and the Duoduo brothers, only if he Duoduo died can they truly feel at ease.

But I, Haoge, is the eldest son of Taizong, how could I give up my life so easily?

Dorgon, Dodo, wait, one day I, Haoge, will get back what I lost, and it will take ten times or a hundred times!

...

"Boom!"

There was a sudden loud noise.

The scene was in chaos in an instant.

"Military Medical Officer, where is the military officer?"

"Brother Qingzhu, Brother Qingzhu comes here!"

"Instructor Qu Shawei, are you okay?"

Seeing this scene, Chongzhen, who was watching not far away, hurried over with Zhu Cijiong and a dozen generals, but happened to see the scholars helping Qu Shawei up.

I saw Qu Sha slightly smoky with smoke from the gun.

But people should be fine, after all, they can still cough.

After coughing for a long time, Qu Shawei finally recovered.

"Qu Shawei, what's going on?" Ma Huabao asked.

When Qu Shawei heard this, she just stared at Ma Huabao.

OK, I'm shocked and my soul has not returned to my original body.

"Hey, Qu Shawei, wake up." Ma Huabao, a thick man, didn't care about so many. He stepped forward and slapped Qu Shawei on the cheek. These two slaps finally woke Qu Shawei up.

"Oh, my God, it's exploded!" Qu Shawei screamed.

Then Qu Shawei turned over and fell to the ground: "Look down quickly!"

"It's all over." Chongzhen said angrily, "Get up quickly."

After saying that, Chongzhen kicked Qu Shawei's buttocks raised high.
