When Dorgon comes, the problem becomes a bit serious!

It's not that Dorgon is more capable in fighting, but that he can unified command the more than 100,000 Qing troops on the battlefields in Henan and Shandong. But Hauge and Duoduo can only fight on their own, each fighting his own share. This is why Duduo is exhausted in Shandong.

, Hauge killed the Huaihe River after pacifying most of Henan.

If Dorgon had been in charge from the beginning, the more than 100,000 Qing troops in the Central Plains would have been crushed into a fist. With more than 100,000 people pressing forward together, Zhu Cixiang would not have dared to use his own capital to fight!

Of course, before Hauge's death, the Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghuang Banner, and Xianghuang Banner soldiers and horses on the battlefield in Henan might not be sold to Dorgon. It would not be easy for Dorgon to use them freely.

But now Hauge is dead and was stabbed to death by Zhu Cixiang, the most ruthless man in the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Cixiang didn't know about this, it had spread in the north and the Qing court also admitted it, so no one doubted it.

It was Dorgon who killed Hauge.

As for Dorgon taking the opportunity to annex Zhenglan Banner, it actually doesn't matter. Who made Hauge's heir only three years old? Moreover, Dorgon's arrangement after annexing Zhenglan Banner was to receive one with Azig and Dodo each.

flag.

Dorgon, Azig, and Duduo are all the legitimate sons of Nurhaci. From a blood perspective, they are more qualified to be the banner lord prince than Jierhalang, the leader of the Lanlan Banner, and they are on the same level as Dabeile Daishan.

Moreover, the three Dorgon brothers are all princes. They serve as regents and discuss government affairs as the princes of the banner. They still follow the line of "kings discussing politics" rather than the line of centralized monarchy. This is in line with the princes of each banner and the eight princes.

of interests.

In addition, the current war situation in Henan and Shandong cannot be settled by anyone except the great god Dorgon.

Therefore, Dorgon's action of seizing the Zhenglan Banner was generally recognized within the Eight Banners. As long as the regent could lead the Qing Dynasty to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains, everything would be fine.

In Shangqiu City, in front of the Hou family's mansion, the general's flag and the white background golden dragon flag symbolizing the owner of the Zhengbai flag are hanging on two particularly tall flagpoles, fluttering in the wind.

This private residence that originally belonged to Hou Xun was the first-class luxurious house in Shangqiu City, the capital of Guide Prefecture. Huang Degong once borrowed this place as a camp when he was stationed in Shangqiu. Therefore, he built a camp gate and erected several large flagpoles.

Moreover, when Huang Degong retreated, he did not set fire to the large house belonging to Hou Xunhou Ge Lao, so Dorgon naturally placed his general's headquarters here.

After setting up the general's palace, Dorgon did not rush to send troops to deal with Zhu Cixiang who was stationed in Fengyang. Instead, he set up a mourning hall in the Hou family's mansion and found many monks and Taoists to chant sutras and perform rituals. Chaodu died tragically under Zhu Cixiang's sword.

Haug.

All the officials from Niulu Zhangjing and above (including Niulu Zhangjing) of Zhenglan Banner were summoned to Shangqiu City, and they followed Dorgon and Duduo, who was recruited from the front line of Qufu, to mourn for Hauge.

Dorgon and Duoduo still had great affection for Hauge, their eldest nephew, and they cried so much that it was so shocking that they cried like ghosts and gods!

When Nurhaci died, the two brothers were just a little sad.

When those Jia La Zhang Jing and Niu Lu Zhang Jing of the Blue Banner saw the sad looks of Dorgon and Duduo, they all sighed in their hearts: After all, blood is thicker than water! King Su fought with them so much when he was alive.

Year, now dead, both of them are still so sad

Having finished their tears, Dorgon and Duoduo brought back Gushan'e Zhenbahana of Zhenglan Banner, Maile Zhangjing Luotuo, several Jia La Zhangjing, and the inlaid yellow flag.

Gushan'er Zhen'aobai, and Beizi Mandahai (the seventh son of Daishan) who did not follow Hauge to the south of Zhenghongqi, all invited to the hall of the hall, sat down separately, and began to talk.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Qingliuxi, Prince Su really tried his best and failed because Nikan has become more powerful! We used to try our best tricks, but now they don't work. In the past, our Eight Banners soldiers defeated the Ming army and pushed the shield cart.

, with enough arrowheads, some fire blunderbuss, and at most a few Hongyi cannons, victory would be certain. But this time it didn’t work. Nikan had dozens of them that the general could drag around.

The power of the cannon is quite impressive. It can smash our shield car at a distance of a hundred or two hundred steps. Moreover, these general cannons fire very fast. They can fire ten or eight times in the time of one stick of incense. They can not only hit iron bullets, but also fire bullets.

Stone bullets, lead bullets, and loose bullets can also be used to shoot a large area with one blast!"

The one who was talking eloquently was Hauge’s number one confidant, Obai!

Dorgon was the first big shot he met after arriving in Shangqiu, and when he came to visit Obai, he was recuperating from his injuries. Moreover, because his boss behind the scenes was gone, no one in Shangqiu City wanted to see him, but he was in a very poor condition.

Dorgon came to the door with gifts, which moved Obai to tears!

So Obai is now doing his best to analyze the situation of the Qingliuxi battle for Dorgon. He has experienced this battle personally. Of course he knows where the Qing army lost? And where is the Ming army strong?

The Manchus of Ao Bai's generation are not the Eight Banners men who were crippled by the Opium War two hundred years later. The Manchus of Ao Bai's generation are not only capable of fighting, but also have strong learning abilities, and they can also use their brains.

, looking for solutions to problems.

"The general cannon fires very fast." Dorgon frowned slightly. In his mind, he already had the image of dozens of 1,000-pound cannons flying across the battlefield. "I'm afraid this is not a general cannon, right?"

Duduo interjected: "I also encountered general artillery in Shandong, and it wasn't that powerful!"

Oboi nodded: "The Prince Regent and King Yu said the same thing. The horse-drawn cannon may be new, but it is really powerful!"

Dorgon said: "Maybe I bought it from the Xiyi people!"

Zhenglan Banner Baya Lazhangjing Arzin added: "In addition to this horse-drawn cannon, Nikan's armor has also become stronger! The sword cannot cut, and the arrow cannot shoot. We have to replace it for the warriors."

It only works with axes, hammers, and maces, but not knives."

"This is easy to handle!" Dorgon said, "The armors used by the Nikans were too bad, so we got used to using knives."

Duduo said again: "Brother Fourteen, Nikan's earthen fort is not easy to deal with either! That kind of barrier made of soil stuffed into sacks can actually prevent the Hongyi cannon! I thought it was the blessing of Saint Kong at first, but later

I asked people to take the medicine according to the prescription, and tried it several times, but it still didn't work. It's really strange!

In addition, Nikan's four-cornered and octagonal forts are also very powerful. A large general cannon can be set up on the protruding corner platform. The cannons placed on two corner platforms and a city wall fire at the same time, and the people below have no place to hide.

, it’s useless to push the shield cart, because the cannon can hit the side, but it’s powerful!”

Dodo is also a clever Tatar who is good at learning, and now he has learned how to build a bastion with sandbags!

"Also," Duduo paused, "the young prince of the Zhu family gave power to Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zuo Maodi on the ground in Shandong, and asked them to build their own team training. These three people have already recruited tens of thousands of people

And this group of regiments can fight better than the serious southern soldiers we encountered in the previous entrance battles! Coupled with the method of building a camp step by step and building corner forts, it is very difficult to deal with."

Dorgon smiled: "That's because the Southern troops we encountered in the past were all trash. Now that the Southern Dynasty has a hero, the people below will naturally start to work honestly, so it will not be easy to fight."

He paused, "But it's still too late. Now most of Zhongzhou belongs to me, the Qing Dynasty. As long as we can reorganize our business carefully, no matter how talented he is, he can't do anything to us!"

As for the old saying that whoever conquers the Central Plains conquers the world, we won’t say much more. With Zhu Cihong here, we should stop thinking about dominating the world and manage our territory well, which is the best policy."
