Chapter 298 The Temptation of Three Provinces and Territories (monthly ticket seven hundred
After Duoduo led his army back to the capital, Dorgon was so angry that he almost fainted.
One is Ajige and the other is Dodo. None of his two good brothers makes him worry-free!
In order to go to Mongolia to grab horses, Azige gave up the great opportunity to attack Huguang.
Duoduo made a good chess move like this.
The face of Aisin Jueluo's family really made these two people lose all their shame!
Of course, if you have to find a back-up, it will be Lukede.
Thanks to Dorgon's trust in him, he ordered him to lead a large army to attack the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Luke Dehun not only did not take over Lin Qing alone, but was captured and killed by the Ming army and almost wiped out the entire army.
Dorgon's mouth of old blood was about to spurt out.
Duoduo was too indecisive. Even if he gritted his teeth and had to take down Shandong. Now, he would retreat to the capital as a defeated army. What would the officials and gentry in the Northern Zhili think?
These dog slaves are the most likely to change their minds. If they instigate the untouchables to rebel, the court will have to send troops to wipe them out.
The situation in the Qing Dynasty is not optimistic.
Of course, Duoduo also felt very wronged.
The morale of the army is at a low point and there is not much food and supplies. God knows what will happen if he continues to fight.
Even if the Texas city wall is not a solid wall, it will not be much different. The loss of hard attack is too great.
The red-clothed cannon is powerful, but the lead bullets were already consumed when they hit the trench chest walls, and there was not much left.
Do you have to withdraw your troops until the ammunition and food are exhausted?
At that time, it was very passive. If the Ming army sent cavalry all the way to harass and attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Dorgon didn't listen to his explanation.
In Dorgon's view, Duoduo is the commander of the army and has the obligation to make the most correct decision.
It’s so heartbreaking that the Qing army was led by him to be like this!
Of course, things are already like this now, and Dorgon has no other way, so he can only pinch his nose and recognize it.
After a little rest, I will take the initiative to lift the Ming Dynasty.
It would take some time for Hong Chengchou to arrive in Shaanxi. When he arrived in Guanzhong to supervise the war, Dorgon prepared to order Duoduo to cooperate in the south to attack the Ming Dynasty.
But this time I have to change direction.
Didn’t you say Shandong is difficult to fight?
OK, then I won’t ask you to fight Shandong, just bypass Shandong and fight Fengyang!
If the Qing army could take Fengyang, they could go straight to Nanjing.
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is to take down Guide Mansion first.
Nowadays, Guide Prefecture, including Kaifeng Prefecture, which is close to Guide Prefecture, is in the hands of the Ming army.
It is not enough to enter Fengyang Mansion without building this place.
From this battle, Dorgon could also see that the Ming army spent a lot of effort on the Shandong defense line. Since you have tried your best to deploy heavy troops in Shandong, I will do the opposite and bypass your defense line directly.
Guide Prefecture is definitely much easier to fight than Shandong prefectures and counties. As long as you take Guide Prefecture, Fengyang will be able to get it at your fingertips.
Dorgon had made up his mind that when he took Nanjing, he would capture the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty and execute him to relieve his hatred.
Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture.
Today, a mysterious visitor came to Nan'an Marquis Mansion.
Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Nan'an, personally met him in the study, and he chatted for more than an hour.
After the talk, Zheng Zhilong, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, did not hesitate to surrender to the nobles and personally sent the mysterious visitor to the second door.
This was never imagined in the past.
Even Zheng Zhilong, a high-ranking official like the governor, the commander, and the censor, would not even look at him.
The servants in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion couldn't help but guess what the mysterious visitor was.
Some guessed it was the imperial envoy of the court, some guessed it was the new governor of Fujian, and the statements were diverse.
At this moment, in the study room of Nan'an Hou Mansion, Zheng Zhilong's face was as cold as water, and he repeatedly tapped his fingers.
"Fourth brother, what do you think about this?"
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Hongkui, his eyes full of inquiries.
Zheng Hongkui pondered for a moment and bowed, "Brother, I think this matter is extraordinary. If this guy is really a relative of Hong Chengchou, he should not trust him easily. Although Hong Chengchou is highly valued by Dorgon, he cannot represent the Qing court after all. The promise he made is enough to hear it, and he cannot do it truly."
It can be seen that Zheng Zhilong was a little moved, and Zheng Hongkui was a little worried about this.
Most of the people in the Zheng family were from pirates, and they did not value etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. But no matter how you look at the surrendered Tartars, it is a shameless thing.
If it was Zhang Xianzhong's people who came to persuade him to surrender, I'm afraid Zheng Hongkui would advise Zheng Zhilong not to speak to death and leave a way out.
"Yeah, what you said makes some sense."
Zheng Zhilong's eyebrows flipped, took a deep breath and exhaled again.
Hong Chengchou really cannot represent the Qing court, but is this considered a test issued by the Qing court?
If Zheng Zhilong is really interested, will the double convenience have further contact and even consultation?
This is indefinitely true.
If Zheng Zhilong is able to reach his current high position, there is naturally no problem with his strategy and scheming. He will not trust others easily, let alone matters related to the family's wealth and life.
Zheng Zhilong is now named Marquis of Nan'an by the Ming court and is also the general of Fujian, so the power of the court cannot enter at all.
Regardless of whether the Ming court was willing to admit it or not, Zheng Zhilong is now the local emperor of Fujian Province.
In this case, Zheng Zhilong had no reason to be moved, but the promise made by Hong Chengchou was very attractive.
Through his personal companion, Hong Chengchou passed a message to Zheng Zhilong, and the regent of the Qing court, Dorgon, promised him that if he won the world in the future, he would take out the land of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi as the fief of Zheng Zhilong and make him king.
Become a king!
This temptation is indeed too great.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding of the country, the founding of the kings have been posthumously granted the title of kings, there has been no such thing as a king of different surnames. At most, it will be the end of the title of Duke.
Zheng Zhilong is now a Marquis of Nan'an, which means that he can climb up one level and get to the position of Duke.
The Duke and the Prince are still quite different.
Moreover, the Qing court also promised him to be vassals in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.
Needless to say, Fujian is already in Zheng Zhilong's hands. But Guangdong and Guangxi are also rich places.
Especially in Guangdong, where the prosperity is still high in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong has been salivating.
The Zheng family navy has now controlled most of the sea trade in the southeast, but it is not enough to reach Guangdong.
If Guangdong and Guangxi can be really integrated into it, the Zheng family's annual maritime trade profits and maritime tax inputs will increase a lot.
Zheng Zhilong is a businessman and a pirate, so what he values most is the word "interest".
Whoever can give him more benefits will choose to cooperate with.
This is why he accepted the invitation from the Ming court and turned around and surrounded the old brothers.
But now the situation is very similar.
Of course, as a pirate and a businessman, risks also need to be considered.
