Chapter 329 No Soldiers
People are actually like this. When what you do is beneficial to everyone, everyone will praise you to heaven. When what you do is exciting to everyone, I am afraid that your contribution will not be remembered.
"Fourth brother, the Empress Dowager is right. Jillharang usually only knows generalism and does not understand military affairs at all. I also have people following him in Shandong to fight, and I have also received letters from there. This guy will only scream when he encounters something. I don't think Shandong will last long. If we wait for the Southern Ming army to go north, we will not even have the chance to retreat. Liaodong is our own territory. After we go back, we will work hard to control and then fight back."
Prince Li Dai Shan was also a brave general of the Qing Dynasty when he was young, but now he is old, so he mainly seeks stability in his work. He does not ask to repel the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Now he only wants to return to Liaodong. This is a good ending, but this wish may not be realized now.
"Brother is right, not to mention that we are not in vain this time. The gold, silver and treasure brought back by the court will be worth hundreds of millions."
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang specially used the name of her family, but did not use the name of the court, but also wanted to bring her relationship with Dorgon closer.
Although the Qing Dynasty is now on a downward trend, most of the power is held in Dorgon's hands. If Dorgon is not prepared to return to Liaodong, they can only stare at him.
Dorgon naturally knew how great the Qing Dynasty had gained this time. Since entering the pass, their search level has been much stronger than Li Zicheng, and wherever they passed, it was like a locust passing through the border.
Whether it is the landlord, old wealthy or the rural villager, almost everything was pulled over by them, so this time the harvest was really a lot.
But is the question satisfied like this? Is the efforts of several generations finished like this?
The battle in Liaodong was so hard, and so many people died after entering the pass. Isn’t it just to get into the fun of the Central Plains? Now that Dorgon just takes the money back, he always feels that he is losing too much.
"Brother Daishan, do you really think we still have a chance to make a comeback?"
Dorgon has always been an eagle in the sky. He will never have anything like gold, silver, treasures, etc. in his eyes. What he has always looked at is this beautiful country.
This question really caught Prince Li. In fact, all of them understood that it was impossible to come back. Being able to escape with your tail between them would be the best result. He said that he would just look good on his face when he was called back in the future.
They didn't know what was going on in the Southern Ming court, but they knew very well that the little prince in the Southern Ming court was completely different from Emperor Chongzhen.
At a young age, he already has hundreds of thousands of troops, and all of them are capable of conquering warriors, defeating the Eight Banners Cavalry. If he retreated to Liaodong and gave the little prince three to five years of development, the number of troops would definitely double by then.
And don’t think that his ambition will be stopped. Maybe he will lead his troops out of the gates and sweep Liaodong at that time.
After all, according to the territory of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, the current land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty also belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Nurgandus even went all the way to the Beihai, so they would not have a peaceful life in the future.
"Fourth brother, I know what you mean, and I also know what we encountered in the Qing Dynasty, but let's take one step at a time. If we continue to stay here, we really don't have any chance, but if we return to Liaodong, at least we still have a chance to fight."
Although Prince Li did not manage the government affairs very much, he was very familiar with the current situation of the Qing Dynasty.
Add up all the troops around the capital, and there will be only a hundred thousand people left. Could it be that they will all be sent to Prince Zheng? If Prince Zheng was defeated in the war, what should they do when they returned to Liaodong? Is it all up to women and children to live?
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was not in a good mood, and tears came out of her eyes. Half a year ago, the mother and son came to this capital in glory.
All the Qing people thought they would live here in the future and would not have to go back to the harsh environment of Liaodong. Unexpectedly, they would be driven back in just a few days, and they escaped like a dog from a broken family. Who could have thought of the situation today?
Dorgon also sighed deeply, silently calculating the remaining troops of the Qing Dynasty in his heart.
The army of Haoge and Prince Zheng appeared in the capital, leaving only Ajige and his own subordinates, and the total number of the emperor's personal troops was less than 100,000.
However, among these people, except for the 50,000 cavalry under Ajige, the rest were all for the scene, especially the imperial guards around the emperor, who were all the nobles of the Three Banners.
They don’t have much ability in normal times, so they can be guarding the house in the palace. If they are expected to fight, there is a high possibility of defeat in advance.
There are also some idle Manchu men in the entire capital. These people either retreated before or were not old enough.
If they were to be recruited, there would be tens of thousands of people, but if they were sent to the battlefield, if they were defeated, it would not be a matter of destroying the country, but it would be a destruction of the clan!
"The Mongolian grassland is not restless. When I went there last time, some people were not very respectful to me. In the past six months, the Mongolian grassland has sent 150,000 cavalry to the Central Plains, but nearly half of it has been lost and not much has been sent back. Those Mongolian princes have already had their ideas."
Prince Li knew what Dorgon was thinking, so he had to say all these things. If he only pursued the number, there are many adult men from Han people in the Qing Dynasty today.
It’s not a big deal to get up 200,000 troops overnight, but the question is, will these 200,000 troops be useful? Will they work hard on the battlefield?
The situation on various battlefields has shown that if you capture these men who harm people, then these people may start surrendering without waiting for the battle to begin.
Moreover, they also led the formation of the Eight Banners Cavalry, which was of no benefit to the entire battle, so if they wanted to recruit these Han people, they had to be very cautious.
The Mongols can't do it...
The Han people are not good either...
Dorgon's mind was filled with mucus, this future...
