Chapter 470: Delaying Time
Fan Wencheng has always hoped that he could integrate into the senior management of the Qing Dynasty and that he could truly become one of them. Especially when everyone was discussing important things, Fan Wencheng felt that he had integrated into it.
Although he was robbed just now, now seeing everyone's earnest gaze and thinking about Dorgon's punishment on his subordinates, Fan Wencheng was a little moved.
Of course, normal people don’t know where his touch came from, but for people who are very slave, as long as his master throws a bone out of it, he can feel comfortable for several days.
"Regent, we have increased our business in the capital. If we want to leave quickly, it is probably impossible. I made a rough calculation. If the people in the capital are evacuated, there will be at least nearly 200,000 people. How to evacuate these people is not an easy task."
Everything Fan Wencheng said was the truth. Many of the people present were big and rude. They just ran out overnight according to their ideas. As long as they could run outside the mouth, the place was so wide...
Even if the Ming soldiers had the ability to do everything, they would not be able to intercept them. Of course, they also understood that this kind of escape would definitely be a loss, but it was much better than being blocked here than everyone else.
"Mr. Fan said very much. I have the same idea, so I have to delay time. But in this situation, the Southern Ming army will give us one night at most. They may have to launch an attack tomorrow. How should we drag it on?"
Dorgon clapped his hands and said, "This is indeed a very difficult problem. You need time here, so you have to let your people fight for it." Time will not fall from the sky."
Don’t expect others to buy you time. The troops outside the city are already in formation and may come to kill at any time.
Nowadays, no one of the troops gathered in the city is willing to go out of the city to fight. If you force them out, it may cause a mutiny.
"The Regent only considers military affairs and does not take into account other aspects. We can negotiate with the Ming army. During the negotiations, neither of us can fight. Taking this opportunity, we can retreat out in scattered ways. This kind of negotiation usually lasts for a long time. If we use it well, it will be fine for half a month."
After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, the eyes of the people present lit up.
After all, these Han people are capable. No one expected that such a way would be possible. If they could negotiate well, it would be extremely good for them.
"Then please Mr. Fan on this matter. We will divide our troops into two groups. You will lead some people to negotiate. I will integrate all the forces in the city and leave the capital as quickly as possible."
Dorgon doesn't want anything else now. After experiencing the Battle of the South of the City, Dorgon also understood the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and how the previous army was defeated on the battlefield.
If they continue to persevere, it will not be of any benefit to them. They must run out while they still have the strength, otherwise they will have no chance to run away in the future.
It is by no means accidental that a battle between the south of the city can make the high-level Qing dynasties change their ideas.
The main reason is that the Qing Dynasty's strength has declined too quickly before, so in this case, they must save some money, otherwise the entire nation may disappear, and the more than 100,000 troops outside the city alone would not be able to stand it.
"The slave must do his best to do what the Regent ordered, but for this negotiation, the slave can only be a deputy. If the slave is asked to take the responsibility mainly, I am afraid the Southern Ming court will not want it. The slave's identity..."
Fan Wencheng also understood the meaning very clearly. Even if Kuang deceived the Southern Ming court to negotiate, he had to have a heavyweight person.
If Fan Wencheng was responsible by himself, I guess the people over there would not be willing to talk to them about Fan Wencheng. His reputation within the Ming Dynasty was not good, and he could almost be said to be the biggest traitor, even better than that guy Wu Sangui.
"I understand. If this is the case, let Prince Li go with you."
After Dorgon said this, Fan Wencheng nodded, and this person was the most suitable one.
This person is the patriarch of the Aisin Gioro family, Dorgon's brother, and the uncle of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. No one is more suitable than this person, not to mention that there are some things in the city that Prince Li Daishan does not need to participate.
“It’s so good and so…”
Fan Wencheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, completely forgot how his family suffered from military disasters before.
"There is another thing that the Regent should also pay attention to. Do not go in the city. The Han people in the city have been bullied to the limit. If they make trouble casually when we retreat, then it will have a huge impact on our retreat. If only these Han people are there, of course we have nothing to be afraid of, but if they collude with the Ming army outside the city..."
Fan Wencheng thought about it and had to say these words. If he didn't say these words, I'm afraid the Han people would still have no good results.
Just saying that the Han people are threatening, I am afraid that these high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty will not take it seriously. According to their own ideas, if the Han people have ideas, they might as well kill them all.
But if he colluded with the army outside the city, it would probably be another matter. At this critical moment, Dorgon didn't want to be troubled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fan. I have ordered Prince Yu Duoduo to lead 20,000 cavalry under him to be stationed in the capital. There will never be any situation two days ago. In addition, I have asked eighty guards outside the door to follow Mr. Fan. If Mr. Fan loses one hair, I will immediately cut these eighty people."
Dorgon was indeed a little apologized for the guards sent before. He was originally sent to protect Fan Wencheng, but these people took the lead in robbing, which made Dorgon's face not very colored.
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng was a little relieved.
What the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty now think about is how much time Fan Wencheng can delay through negotiations...
