(The second update, Nan Mingwen is really hard to write. It takes several hours to write a chapter. I feel exhausted every time I finish it. Do I have any recommendation votes if I ask a weak question? Lao Kun needs encouragement!)

"We ask to see the General!"

"The Tartars are here! We want to meet the General!"

In front of the Dezhou General's Mansion, craftsmen such as Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu shouted.

The guard immediately pulled out his knife and scolded him: "What nonsense is said? If it disturbs the morale of the army, it will be handled according to military law!"

Zhou Yuesheng subconsciously took a step back, shrank his neck and said, "It's really a Tartar, we saw it with our own eyes."

"Yes, Jun Ye, please report it."

The guard frowned and hesitated for a moment, "You guys are waiting here, I'll report to Lord General Rong."

At this time, Qin Gongming was ecstatic in front of a map. He heard the personal soldiers report that a group of craftsmen gathered outside the General's Mansion and said that the Tartars were coming.

Qin Gongming took a deep breath.

How could the Tartars suddenly appear near Texas?

He did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to call the head of the craftsman in.

After a while, Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu were both brought here. When they saw the general, they lowered their heads and didn't even dare to show off their anger.

Qin Gong waved his hand clearly and said, "After saying that, what's going on?"

Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu looked at each other and gritted their teeth and said, "Report to General General, today I and a group of workers were working in the fort. Suddenly I heard a sound of horse hooves, so I leaned over and saw that there were many Tartar cavalry a hundred steps away. We were ready to resist to the death, but the Tartar cavalry actually evacuated on their own initiative."

After Zhou Yuesheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and stood his hands very respectfully.

Qin Gongming asked, "You said you saw the Tartar cavalry, how many people were there?"

"this..."

Zhou Yuesheng didn't know how to answer for a moment. When he saw the Tartars coming, his legs were so scared that he was not in the mood to count the number of people.

However, he had an impression that there were not many cavalrymen in the Tartars.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu hurriedly rescued the siege and said, "Report to Lord Rong, the villain saw that the Tatar cavalry had a meeting with one or twenty cavalry."

One or twenty riders seem to be mostly whistle riders.

Qin Gongming walked up in the hall with his hands on his back, analyzing the reasons why the Tartar sentry appeared near Dezhou.

A month has passed since the Battle of Texas, and the Luting in Beijing must have known the result.

With Dorgon's arrogant and arrogant personality, he would definitely not be able to withstand such a crushing defeat, and he would probably plan to launch another raid on Dezhou.

Most of these whistle riders are here to catch up and hit the bottom.

The bastion group has not been repaired yet, and the craftsmen who built the fort are in an unprotected state, which is very dangerous.

Qin Gongming decided to be careful and sent some soldiers to defend next to these built bastions to prevent the Tartar cavalry from attacking and abducting craftsmen from Nanjing.

These craftsmen are not ordinary craftsmen, they have the technology of building a battalion in their hands.

If the Tartars were captured, the characteristics of the bastion would be known in advance by the Tartars. It is not certain that the Tartars would come up with a way to deal with it.

Although Qin Gongming was not very optimistic about the bastion, he did not want the Tartars to see through this new bastion, so he should be careful.

"You guys go down and rest first. From tomorrow on, people will be sent to the fortress you built to guard. If the Tartars attack, they will be told to come and go!"

When Zhou Yuesheng and Zhao Fu were both overjoyed when they learned that the General would send troops to protect him.

"Thank you, Mr. General! Thank you, Mr. General!"

Qin Gongming waved his hand, and the two of them consciously retreated.

What exactly do the Tartars want to do?

Qin Gongming sighed.

"Come on, prepare your pen and ink!"

...

...

"Prince, as far as I know, Jiang Yan from Shanxi is just a fence-bearer. As long as the Eight Banners army arrives, he will definitely open the city and surrender."

Fan Wencheng patiently analyzed the situation in Shanxi for Dorgon.

"The prince wrote to Jiang Guan before, and Jiang Guan replied with a respectful attitude. Although he did not ask for surrender, he also vaguely expressed his intention to serve the Qing Dynasty."

"Hmph, these southerners are more cunning than the other. If he really wants to surrender, why don't he take the initiative to offer the city?"

Dorgon was very dissatisfied with Jiang Guan's bets at both ends.

If the situation is so clear today, the Qing Dynasty has the momentum to conquer the world. Can Jiang Qi not even see this clearly?

No wonder Dorgon was so angry.

Shanxi's threat to the capital was too great. If he could not take Shanxi, Dorgon would not be able to raise troops south to deal with Canming without any scruples. Because if the Shun army in Shanxi suddenly rushed to the capital, he would not have time to dispatch troops to rescue him.

"Prince, Jiang Yuan cannot be used for this person, but he must not be used. The prince might as well promise a high-ranking official and generous salary first, and then give him a free position when he gets it."

As the first-class servant who surrendered when Nurhaci was Nurhaci, Fan Wencheng knew the character of Manchus very well.

They were always very careful with the Han people. It would be fine if civil officials were fine, but the generals who had heavy troops on their opponents were like guarding against thieves.

Jiang Yan was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zicheng opened the city without hesitation to surrender.

Seeing that the situation reversed, he killed Shunjiang and rebelled, so he really dared not believe it.

But if he did not promise to give Jiang Yan a high official and generous salary, this person would definitely not be willing to offer the city, otherwise Dorgon would have to send the Eight Banners Army to attack the city.

Although we can win Datong in the end, there will definitely be losses.

This is something Dorgon doesn't want to see.

The Eight Banners' children have a total of less than 100,000, which is very expensive. If one dies, one will be wasted at will.

Forget it, just do what Fan Wencheng said. At worst, Datong will turn against others after he gets it.

At that time, the entire Datong was taken over by the Qing army, so Jiang Guan would not dare to act rashly.

"As long as Datong is obtained, the entire northern part of Shanxi will be firmly held in the prince's hands. At that time, the prince only needs to concentrate his troops to siege Taiyuan."

Seeing that Dorgon's expression improved, Fan Wencheng said in a very appropriate manner.

"It's not easy to fight in Taiyuan!"

Dorgon sighed: "I'm afraid I'll have to transfer Kong Youde and other Han troops to take the lead."

Fan Wencheng nodded: "The prince is wise. The Han army such as Sanshun has many red-clothed cannons, which are indeed powerful tools for attacking and decapitating the villages. Although Taiyuan City is strong, it cannot withstand several rounds of cannons. However, the Taiyuan stayed at Li Zicheng's confidant, and he will definitely defend to the end. The slave suggested that the prince order the army to slaughter the city after the city is broken, to intimidate the little ones, and also give warnings to later generations to tell them the fate of resisting the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty!"

Fan Wencheng's words were all about Dorgon's heart.

There are few Manchus, and small tribes are used to control the big tribes, so they must rely on high pressure to rule.

This is especially reflected in the city's destruction.

Anyone who does not take the initiative to offer the city will be massacred after the city is destroyed.

First, it is to give the Eight Banners a chance to rob and rape openly, and second, it is to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and let the swaying guards open the door and surrender, so that the Qing army will take the lead in bloodshed and win more cities.

"Okay, just do what Mr. Fan said!"
