Emperor Shunzhi was not the only one who missed Dorgon. His dearest uncle, Emperor Duduo, was also thinking about his fourteenth brother at this time!

How come you have such a precious son? You are so careless in using your troops and you fight the battle aimlessly. Who do you follow?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Duduo had already arrived in Jizhou City. As soon as he entered the city, before he had time to settle in, he learned that Emperor Shunzhi had left Tianjin and was preparing to attack Shi Kefa in Hejian Prefecture and the Northern Expedition.

News of the decisive battle.

"Why, why are we out of Beijing? If you don't stay in such a good place like Beijing, why go to Tianjin? Can't Tianjin Guard just send Zhuo Butai to lead the firearms battalion to guard Tianjin, Beijing, and the north and south of the Yellow River?

Even if the camp cannot be invincible, it will not be defeated! The confrontation between Liao and Song in the past is still there! Now that he is out of Tianjin, he has to fight Shi Kefa. If he is not careful, he will be defeated!"

Duduo couldn't believe his ears, Shunzhi was so unreliable! Why go out for a walk if you don't stay in the impregnable city of Beijing? And you have to fight Shi Kefa. He thought Shi Kefa always lost the battle and he was easy to bully?

It is not easy for people to fail but not collapse, to fail again and again, and to get stronger the more they fail!

"Uncle Huang, your Majesty will not be defeated by Shi Kefa, right?" Nikan followed Duduo to Yutian. He did not take Shi Kefa too seriously. "This Shi Kefa is our defeated general. He has been defeated many times."

Got it!"

"That's when we fight Emperor Chengzong!" Duduo pressed his temples, "How can a little kid like the Emperor beat others? Moreover, the Ming army has become stronger and stronger in recent years. We can't do what we did five or six years ago.

Nikan, just watch them. In less than two days, the news that the emperor has defeated the battle should come!"

Nikan thought for a moment and suddenly lowered his voice: "Uncle Emperor, will the Emperor pass away?"

Duduo glanced at him and sighed: "If it collapses, it will be worthy of his Amma!"

"By the way," Nikan looked around and found that there was no outsider, then asked again, "Uncle Huang, who is the Emperor's Amma?"

"Taizong and Chengzong!" Duduo said, "They all know it, but you don't know it?"

"No, I mean to kiss Amma"

"Of course." Duduo was stunned and shook his head, "Then you have to ask the Queen Mother!" Only then did he realize something was wrong, "Nikan, why do you ask this?"

Nikan smiled awkwardly: "There are rumors outside that the emperor is the son of the emperor."

Duduo snorted: "I don't look like Taizong! I can't use my brain at all. What can I do?"

He was speaking ill of Shunzhi, and the news that made him jump came again!

And two of them came at once!

The first is that the Ming Army cavalry has appeared in Dong'an and Wuqing counties near Tianjin Wei!

The second is that Emperor Shunzhi is now trapped in Tianjin Wei, with only more than 10,000 people left around him.

"We are trapped in Tianjin, and there are only more than 10,000 people left?" Duduo's eyes widened as he looked at an imperial guard who sent him a message, "Where are the remaining people? They can't all be called Shi Kefa."

"Uncle Emperor," the guard said with a mournful face, "the rest of us are probably in a bitter fight south of Tianjin Wei!"

"What does it mean to be stuck in a bitter battle?" Duduo asked.

The guard said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but I know that when the Emperor sent troops from Tianjin Guard to reinforce the Interior Minister Bai Yintu, he almost ran into an army of 20,000 to 30,000 Nanbarbarians. Fortunately, he retreated in time to avoid it.

A calamity. But this southern army did not follow us to Tianjin Guards. It must have gone south to attack the Interior Minister Baiyintu."

It’s over!

Duduo rolled his eyelids, Baiyintu was no longer in danger! Fulin, who did not run away because he suffered more than half of the losses, doesn’t know how to fight!

After sending away the guards sent by Shunzhi to ask for help, Duduo held a military meeting in the original Jizhou General Military Office in Jizhou City.

They called Nikan, Yue Le, He Luohui, Bahana, Tan Tai, Leng Sengji, Mulima and Zhan Dai who had followed him into the customs.

"Uncle Emperor," Abatai's son Yue Le is now Dodo's right-hand man. This man is not only good at fighting, but also has political savvy. He reminded Dodo, "We are not afraid of the emperor's death, but we are afraid of the emperor's surrender!

I heard that Emperor Zhu of the Southern Dynasties had already built Prince Gong’s Palace in Nanjing for the emperor."

Once Shunzhi surrendered, it would mean the fall of the Qing Dynasty!

Although Duduo can still declare his accession to the throne, the negative political impact will be quite serious, because the ruling group of the Qing Dynasty will split again due to the return of Shunzhi to the Ming Dynasty, and a pro-Ming faction will appear!

The Mongols on the grasslands and the Khoshote Khanate in Tibet may all fall to the Ming Dynasty!

Yue Le continued: "If the emperor dies for the country, and you, the emperor's uncle, become the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what will the emperor's heirs do?"

yes!

Shunzhi died in vain!

His son Fuquan is not a prince, and has no chance to take the throne. He might even die young because of Duduo's suspicion.

"No," He Luohui said, "The Tianjin Guard City is deep and has abundant military resources. It is difficult for Shi Kefa to break it. As long as the city is not broken, how can the emperor fall down and become a king who will subjugate his country?"

Leng Sengji said: "Then we can't let the emperor feel completely hopeless, otherwise Princess Jianning is Emperor Zhu's favorite concubine."

"But what can we do?" Nikan said, "The army has just traveled a long way and must rest. Moreover, if Shi Kefa besieges Tianjin Wei, it will not be without benefit to us."

"How do you say that?" Dodo asked.

"If Shi Kefa knew that the emperor was in Tianjin Guards, he would definitely go all out to besiege Tianjin Guards, so that the Northern Expeditionary Army on the Eastern Route of the Southern Dynasty would be restrained by Tianjin Guards." Nikan paused, and then said, "Uncle Emperor,

Why did we come to the customs?"

Of course Duduo entered the customs not to save the San Francisco Zhongzhou, nor to keep Beijing intact. Because he knew that the San Francisco could not be saved, and Beijing did not need to save the Ming army. Even if Beijing could finally be captured, it would be a few years later.

This time they probably won't go to Beijing!

Because Beijing has been transformed into a fortified city and is backed by Yanshan Mountain and Bashang Grassland, the Qing army outside the Pass can easily support Beijing.

In addition, the Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi is still in the hands of the Qing army. The terrain of Shanxi is high and overlooking Hebei. If the Ming army does not capture Taiyuan and then attacks Beijing Jiancheng, it will be unstable. The Qing forces in the three towns of Datong, Taiyuan and Pingyang will be unstable.

The army will most likely attack their flank and rear.

Therefore, most of the Ming army will first take the territory south of Shuntian Prefecture, then go to Taiyuan and Pingyang in Shanxi, and then attack Beijing City. This order is the same as that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Duduo said: "It's for the Henan and Hebei camps!"

According to Duduo's estimation, the Henan and Hebei camps were must-take by the Ming army and must be defended by the Qing army. The Qing army must hold the camp until the turn of spring and summer, when the Yellow River rises, so that the Yellow River dam can be dug to create the Yellow Flood Area.

In fact, the purpose of Duduo's actions was not to drown many Han people, but to create panic, destroy agricultural production in Henan, and make Henan people who were afraid of the Yellow River water flee. If these people fled south, they would be a burden to the Ming Dynasty.

If there were one or two million refugees, Zhu Cihong would have to find millions of stones. And if there was a problem with Henan's agricultural production, the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army would have a logistical problem.

And Zhu Cixiang is not a fool, and he can probably see the purpose of the existence of the North and South Yellow River camps! If he wants to relieve the crisis of the Yellow River flood, then he must attack the Henan camp, and then Duduo will have the opportunity to severely damage the Ming army.

Nikan smiled and said: "That's okay! Let's just go south via the indirect route, and then respond to Tianjin with a partial force and monitor Shi Kefa's headquarters."

Duduo nodded: "There is a way. If the emperor of Tianjin can become a bait to attract Shi Kefa, we will have a better chance of winning in the battle between the north and south camps of the Yellow River."

He paused and asked, "What's the news from Henan? Has the Southern Army begun to attack Henan?"
