Chapter 540 Ambush Zhao Zamao
After Doergun died, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil. However, a few months ago, the imperial party, which was originally planning to take the opportunity to eliminate Doergun's faction, felt the huge pressure from the external Ming army. After learning that Wuchang was in danger and Kong Youde committed suicide, he had to give up the complete seizure of power.
Under Bumubutai's proposal, Jirgalang and the two yellow flag ministers who had been suppressed by Doorgun made concessions, posthumously appointed Doorgun as emperor, and added a minister of Doorgun's faction to show Shunzhi's affirmation of Doorgun and indicating that after Shunzhi took power, he had no intention of liquidating Doorgun.
In this way, the people of Door's faction were calmed down, so that they no longer opposed Shunzhi's rule, and at the same time made concessions, giving up some power and interests, giving up two yellows, two blues and two red flags.
This is the same method in history when Shunzhi first rewarded everyone of Doerg's faction after Doerg's death and stabilized the court so that he could rule smoothly.
However, in history, after Shunzhi completed his power and took power, he began to clean up the Dorg faction after only two months. Now, because he faced military pressure from the Ming Dynasty and Ajige had heavy troops outside, Shunzhi and Bumubutai could only temporarily unite within the Qing Dynasty to jointly resist the counterattack of the Ming army.
After some operation, the originally turbulent Qing court had actually calmed down. The Qing court's energy changed from the reallocation of internal power to working together to fight against the Ming army.
It was precisely because of the stability of the Qing court that Doorgun was posthumously granted that Ajige could calm down and concentrate on responding to the Ming army's attack.
Otherwise, the Qing court would have liquidated the Door faction, so that Ajige and two white flag generals in Jiangnan would fight, not to mention fighting against the Ming army, it would be possible to surrender to the Ming Dynasty at the last minute.
The end of the internal struggle of the Qing court was the basis for Ajige to be able to fight the Ming army safely in Jiangnan. Hong Chengchou's idea for Bumubutai created this fighter opportunity for Ajige.
Almost after the fall of Wuchang, shortly after Kong Youde committed suicide, the Qing court felt the threat to Jiangnan.
Bumu Butai had no choice but to think of Hong Chengchou who was imprisoned in the prison, so he asked Hong Chengchou for advice and got a strategy of retreating to advance, killing three soldiers with two peaches.
When Zhao Ming contacted the Longwu court, Feng Quan was ordered to go south again to contact the Longwu court, and expressed his willingness to give up Nanjing and rule the Huai River.
This condition is quite attractive for the Longwu court. The Longwu court had just conquered Wuchang and recovered the entire Chu and Jiangxi area, and it was difficult to launch the battle to recover Nanjing in a short time, but the Zhejiang side was ready to move, wanting to take over Nanjing before the Longwu court took over.
Zhu Yihai hoped to monopolize the revival of the Southern Capital, stabilize the status of other national reserves, and improve his reputation. Longwu also hoped to restore Nanjing and achieve his reputation as a saint of reviving the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the geography and current situation, Zhu Yihai's Zhejiang Army was closer to Nanjing and had been prepared for many years, so the Longwu court obviously could not compete with the Zhejiang Army.
Therefore, the conditions for the Qing Dynasty to give up Nanjing and Huainan, and the two sides to divide the river and govern, and the north and south are very attractive.
This is equivalent to allowing the Longwu Dynasty to regain Nanjing and Huainan. The Longwu status could be together with Emperor Gaozong of Song, and he could be regarded as a revival and capable king. It was not a problem to continue the reign of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. He even had the opportunity to fight the Northern Expedition and recover Beijing in one fell swoop.
Because the war faction in the Longwu court is now in power, although Longwu is very moved, he only asked He Tengjiao to discuss secretly with the Qing envoy Feng Quan. The negotiations went very smoothly, and the two sides quickly determined the border between the central and eastern regions.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the boundary between Huguang and Henan Province was boundary, and in the east was boundary between Huaijiang. As for the west, because the Western army was fighting with the Qing army, the two sides put aside the dispute and then discuss it later.
This treaty was equivalent to the fact that the Longwu Dynasty did not need to send out a soldier and a soldier, so it would be a waste of Nanjing and Huainan. He Tengjiao immediately reported it to Emperor Longwu and decided to sign the treaty. At this moment, Emperor Longwu learned that the Qing army would withdraw its troops from Jiangnan as agreed, while Zhu Yihai raised his troops straight to Nanjing and would seize the fruits of victory.
This made Longwu furious and urgently ordered Jin Shenghuan, who was about to pounce on Sizhou, turned his spearhead, went east along the river, and rushed straight to Nanjing City, and entered Nanjing before Zhejiang entered the city.
The original plan to encircle three sides and eliminate the Qing Dynasty became the soldiers of Zhu Yihai and Longwu court, and they all rushed to Nanjing. Only Zhao Ming was left to actively encircle and suppress the Ajige Corps, and went alone to surround Ajige's retreat, so he gave Ajige a fighter opportunity.
When Ajige learned that Zhao Ming was coming to surround his retreat, he immediately discussed with Fan Wencheng, and Fan Wencheng was also quite cunning and suggested that Ajige withdraw his troops north immediately.
If Zhao Ming wanted to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Yangzhou, he would inevitably go further and come to stop the Qing army from withdrawing, which gave Ajige the opportunity to ambush Zhao Ming. If Zhao Ming did not come, the Qing army would indeed retreat to Huaibei according to the agreement signed with the Longwu Dynasty, build a defense line of Huaijiang, use retreat as an advance, and divide the river with the Ming Dynasty to govern, sit and watch the disputes between the Tang and Lu within the Ming Dynasty, and accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.
The cleverness of the Qing army's strategy is that they were placed in a straight position this time, and they really wanted to rule the river and were preparing to withdraw their troops.
If the Ming army did not intercept them, they would really retreat to the north of the Huai River and preserve the 300,000 troops of the Ajige Corps. With these 300,000 people in the north, and with the plains as the north, the Ming army would find it difficult to fight north to recover Beijing in a short period of time, causing the world to form a situation of north-south coherence.
As a small tribe outside the pass, the Qing Dynasty occupied the north. For them, it was still a victory, just lowering its target.
If Zhao Ming prevented it, it would be even better. Ajige could set up an ambush to eat Zhao Ming, solve the serious troubles of the Qing Dynasty, and even turn the situation around.
In short, the troops of Zhu Yihai and Longwu court have been attracted to Nanjing. Whether Zhao Ming intercepted or not, Ajige has completed the instructions given to him by the Qing court, and Zhao Ming's interception is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
After hearing the scout's report, Ajige and the Qing generals in the tent were both particularly excited, their faces flushed, as if they were drinking high.
Can you not be excited?
Who is Zhao Zamao? The ever-winning general of the Ming Dynasty, the great troubles of the Qing Dynasty, the unlucky Qing Dynasty in recent years, and the defeats that have suffered have almost all of them.
It's related to hair.
Over the years, the Qing army almost suffered defeat when they met Zhao Zamao. Now, this difficult enemy is about to fall into their trap. The Qing army may completely eliminate this opponent, so why aren't everyone excited?
At this time, many Qing generals were really happy that the Qi people were subdued Pang Juan and the Han army surrounded the overlords.
Ajige was excited and said to the generals loudly: "Zhao Zamao went deep into the army alone. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not stop the siege of my hundreds of thousands of troops. If Zhao Zamao was destroyed this time, who else would be the opponent of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Prince, Zhao Zamao, this guy, has been enemies with the Qing Dynasty for many years, which is very hateful. This time, he should be cut off his dog's head and vent his anger!" Fan Wencheng's face turned red.
