Chapter 123
The Qing people thought that the Ming army would attack immediately, but who knew that the Ming army was actually guarding the camp and didn't know what was going on inside.
But even so, the Qing army in Qufu City was as if they were facing a great enemy. They didn't wait for everyone to take turns to guard the city, and all the men in the city were also incorporated into the town.
The logistics of the Qing army did not have any problems. Although the front-line troops failed, a large amount of supplies were still stored in Qufu City, so they still ate white flour cakes.
But at this moment, most people were unwilling to eat, especially the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.
Their beliefs were broken, resulting in the taste of chewing wax when they ate.
Since entering the pass, everyone has thought that they are invincible in the world, but now they have been defeated so badly, so these people don’t know what to say.
Especially when they saw their fellow countrymen and brothers die in front of them, they were powerless to help them, which almost broke the hearts of these people.
The war is about morale. On the surface, Zhu Cixuan defeated 60,000 Qing army, but the far-reaching impact it brought far more than this.
The army brought by Duoduo from the north and the army temporarily recruited by Fang Dayou in Shandong were nearly 300,000, but not many people were interested in fighting at this moment, which was the most terrifying thing.
The common saying they often say is that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry conquers the world and is invincible.
Can you still say that now? There are tens of thousands of corpses outside the city, and the Eight Banners Cavalry accounts for the majority. If you still say that, how should everything outside the city be explained?
The matter of patrolling the city wall naturally fell on Fang Dayou. After he got off the city wall, his face was not very good-looking.
No one said anything along the way, both officers and soldiers were all dead.
Fortunately, the Ming army did not attack the city. If the Ming army began to attack the city now, I am afraid that Qufu City would change hands immediately...
Fang Dayou himself was also very scared.
Fortunately, Duoduo told him to get out. If he followed him to charge, how many people would be able to come back?
When the Qing army encountered danger, no Han army went out to rescue.
This cannot be blamed on others. They usually treat them as cannon fodder. In that case, why do they sacrifice their lives to save you?
Now Duoduo is injured and unconscious, and his command has fallen on Fang Dayou.
Although the mangroves could not be directed, fortunately, there was no need to go out of the city to fight now. They just needed to defend the city. Everything was waiting for the orders of the northern court.
Is it a matter of giving up or defending? This is a message. I should have received our memorial now!
At this moment, the Qing court had already been in chaos in the capital.
They did receive a memorial from Fang Dayou, but they could not give instructions immediately.
According to their original idea, there was no need to mobilize Duoduo's army to move south. Relying solely on the local army in Shandong, we could withstand the threat from the Southern Ming court.
Now it’s better. Not to mention the local army in Shandong, even Duoduo’s own direct lineage can’t resist it.
Although the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty claimed to have the same combat power, there were actually gaps within it.
Because Dorgon was the regent, he tended to be his younger brother in all aspects of training and military preparation.
No one knows the truth about Duoduo's army better than the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty. These are almost the most powerful elite among the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.
But what's the use? It's not that it was defeated by the army of the Southern Ming court, and Duoduo's life and death are uncertain now.
According to Dorgon's idea, Duoduo went to take Shandong, which was like killing a chicken with a ox knife.
In a few days, the army was able to point straight to Jiangsu. Now, not only did he not wait for such news, but he waited for the entire army to be defeated and his brother was indefinitely dead. How could he accept the news that his brother was in danger?
Dorgon fainted at that time.
He was pinching the people and pouring water on them, which woke Dorgon up.
Then I remembered that Duoduo's personal soldiers were still waiting outside. Dorgon hurriedly asked someone to call Duoduo's personal soldiers. If he didn't believe what others said, could Duoduo's personal soldiers also not believe?
Listening to Duoduo's personal soldiers finish talking about the situation on the battlefield, Dorgon fainted again. This was too much beyond his expectations. Tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were gone like this?
"Everything you can say is true? If there is a lie, it will definitely be your whole family's head."
The first thing Dorgon said when he woke up was that he couldn't believe it, mainly because they had too many victories in the past.
Even if you have a small defeat, it is impossible to lose 60,000 troops at once. Even if you have 60,000 pigs, it is impossible to be annihilated so quickly.
"Reply to the prince's words, the memorial was written by Shandong Governor Fang Dayou, but all the sentences written are true, so my subordinates dare to guarantee their lives."
In fact, Dorgon had known it for a long time. He knew this person himself after he had been with Duoduo for so many years.
Moreover, that person Fang Dayou would never speak nonsense, but he just didn't believe it in his heart, and he hoped that it was fake news.
Duoduo's guards knelt here tremblingly, and he knew it would be difficult for everyone to accept this matter.
But this is the case on the front line. If it weren't for running fast, the coach might have died.
Dorgon looked desperate. According to his original idea, he could only take over the Ming Dynasty for two or three years at most, and it might even be shorter.
But now this situation has changed his mind, and now such a powerful enemy has appeared.
If we don’t deal with it well, let alone taking over the Ming Dynasty, maybe they all have to go back outside the pass. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty should not be destined?
"Let's go and have a rest first, but no one can reveal this matter. How is your master's injury?"
After a stick of incense, Dorgon came to his senses and then he remembered that his younger brother was still unconscious.
Although there were many princes in the Qing Dynasty, there were only two people who were on par with Dorgon.
One person is Prince Azige.
The other person is Prince Yu Duoduo.
Both of them are in charge of military power. If one is missing, it is equivalent to breaking Dorgon's arm.
"If you want to go back to the prince, although my master is seriously injured, he has been treated by a famous local doctor and is in good health. But in the future..."
This guy didn't finish his words, but Dorgon also understood.
Fang Dayou already explained Duoduo's left hand in the letter. Now it seems that the left hand will definitely be useless in the future, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Dorgon's heart ache...
