1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 529 Two peaches kill three soldiers?

On November 11th (November 22), the grandson of Prince Lie of the Great Qing Dynasty Daishan, the eldest son of King Yuetuo of Keqin County, and Luo Luohun, king of Yanxi County, led the front army with [-] armored horses to Ye County. The flag remained the same, but when they saw the broken city wall, they were cautious, so they sent a few cavalry to the city gate first, and scolded the defenders at the top of the city to open the gate to welcome the army into the city.

Suddenly, a red rising sun and yellow dragon flag suddenly rose from the top of the city, and more than a thousand soldiers in black and gray uniforms stood tall.Luo Luohun was furious, and led the cavalry to gallop in front of the city, throwing bows and arrows at the top of the city in return.

All of a sudden, dozens of cannons fired at the top of the city, and a shell directly knocked Luo Luo off his horse, and he died immediately (historically, this guy died during the Sichuan campaign in 1646), and the rest immediately dispersed and went away.

In the evening of the same day, Hauge led the army back to Ye County. Hearing that the vanguard cavalry was attacked at the base of the city, Luo Luo died, and angrily supervised the army to attack the city.But the guns and guns at the top of the city were continuous, and none of the siege soldiers could reach the city wall, and retreated back to the front of the battle several times.

Li Sutai urged Haoge to stop his troops, and immediately retreated to Qingzhou to replenish supplies.If there is any further delay in this city, some of the troops of the Eight Banners will also be short of food, and it will be difficult to return to Jinan in full.On the way to retreat from Penglai County, Hauge had left all of the more than 1 surrendered troops behind, and withdrew to Ye County with the few remaining supplies.Now the grain and grass hoarding land in Ye County has been seized, and this place is still nearly [-] miles away from Qingzhou. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the infantry of the Eight Banners Han army to arrive smoothly.

In fact, there are three counties between Qingzhou and Laizhou, including Changle, Weixian (Weifang), and Changyi, which could have obtained some supplies.But when the Qing army came, they either massacred the city or looted it, almost turning it into a wasteland, with almost nothing to supply, so they had to travel long distances back to Qingzhou to make up for it.

On November 11th (November 24th), the Jiannu cavalry marched to Qingzhou first, and was shocked to find that the city was different again, and it had been captured by a group of black-clothed thieves with the cooperation of the original Zhao Yingyuan remnant and Qin Shangxing.

When the team after the founding of the slaves rushed to Qingzhou, it had been out of food for several days, and the several counties and towns they passed through were also plundered without finding anything, and they were almost desperate.Facing the strong city of Qingzhou, Hauge was unable to attack the city, so he threw down the Eight Banners Han army infantry, and let Li Sutai and others go south to Linqu, Anqiu, Juzhou (Yishui, Rizhao) and other places to eat, and then returned by detour Jinan.He led the cavalry to quickly return to Jinan along Linzi and Zichuan with what little food supplies they had.

So far, the Qing Dynasty's vigorous military campaign against Denglai has completely failed. More than [-] surrendered troops were discarded along the line from Penglai County to Qingzhou. More than a thousand, less than half of them finally arrived in Jinan. This was the worst defeat since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty.

On November 21 (December 12), when the news of the disastrous defeat of the Qing army led by Hauge in Denglai reached Beijing, it immediately shocked the entire Qing Dynasty.

Half a month ago, starting on October 28th (20 days later than the original time and space), the Dashun Army successively conquered Jiyuan and Meng County. The army was annihilated, and Jin Yuhe, deputy general Chang Ding, and general Chen Guocai were all killed.Dashun Army took advantage of the victory to attack Huaiqing Prefecture and ruled Qinyang County. Zu Kefa, General Wei Hui of the Qing Army, led the army into Qinyang overnight, and urgently reported to Beijing for help.

Ten days ago, Dorgon had just made a decision to send Duoduo, who had been stranded in Beijing for several months, to lead the main force of the [-] Banners, supervise the surrender of the [-] Yuan Ming army, and go to Huaiqing to relieve the siege.Then entered Shaanxi from Henan via Tongguan, and joined forces with Azig and others who had detoured through Mongolia under the city of Xi'an, completely wiped out Li Zicheng's Dashun army, and then swept across the south of the Yangtze River to unify the world.

However, the siege of Huaiqing had not yet been lifted, and he received news of the disastrous defeat of Denglehaoge's troops, which immediately made Dorgon hesitate.

"Great scholar, if the chaos in Denglai is not dealt with in time, it may spread to the entire Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, threatening the capital. If you mobilize a large number of troops first, what do you think?" Although Dorgon can rely on Denglai The fiasco was another blow to weaken Hauge.But the drastic evolution of the situation there was not the result he hoped to see.Shandong is too close to Beijing. If it is controlled by that "false prince", wouldn't it be possible to lead troops to attack Beijing from the flank at any time.

"Regent, for the current situation, we should be the strongest in the Qing Dynasty, followed by rebellion, and then... the false Ming." Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "As for Denglai's false prince and the Western thief (Zhang Xianzhong) and others are just suffering from scabies and are insignificant. What's more, Denglai's false prince still needs to compete with the Nanjing Hongguang court for a righteous name. If my Qing Dynasty is in a hurry, let him put aside the dispute for the time being. Raise your troops against me."

"The meaning of the Great Scholars is to still follow the established plan and do our best to kill Chuangni, and then go to the south of the Yangtze River, and finally wipe out Denglai and Xithief?" Dorgon asked thoughtfully.

"It is true that Shandong is in a place where Beijing is constrained, and it is necessary to guard against rebellion." Hong Chengchou said: "If you consolidate the mountain defenses in Cangzhou and Tianjin, leave a strong cavalry as a warning and deterrent."

"The land of Shandong will be given to Denglai's false prince?"

"If Jinan, Dezhou, and Binzhou can be defended, it is better to occupy these three places as a barrier for Gyeonggi."

"In this way, will the power of Denglai's pseudo-prince grow stronger?" Dorgon still had some doubts.

"The puppet envoy team is still in Beijing. The regent can call them to see them and ask me whether the Qing Dynasty should negotiate with the Hongguang court in Nanjing, or communicate with the puppet prince Denglai." Hong Chengchou said softly.

Dorgon was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, then came to his senses, and said to Hong Chengchou with a smile: "The big scholar's move to kill three scholars with two peaches is really clever! If this is the case, I am afraid that the land of Denglai will not need me to send troops from the Qing Dynasty." If it is destroyed, the Hongguang court in Nanjing may be the first to get rid of it. Haha..."

"You Qi Fan are emptying out the people of our Ming Dynasty!" Prince Zhu Cihong stood on the pier of Changshan Island, watching countless hungry people line up and board the immigration boat one after another, preparing to go to the warm Hanxing Island (today's Japan) Miyako Island), Xinghe Island (today's Ishigaki Island, Japan) spend the winter, and wait to be transferred back to Hanzhou mainland.

"His Royal Highness, if all these people stay in Daming, how many of them will survive in the end?" Chen Dalang stretched out his only arm, pointed at the hungry people with disheveled faces, and said in a deep voice: "They endured hardships and endured hardships. What they want is food and clothing for a day, and peace for half a lifetime. In Daming, can they get it?"

The crown prince Zhu Cilang was silent when he heard the words.

"The establishment of slaves and entry into the customs will cause the world's people to die, and millions of people will die." Chen Dalang sighed: "I just regret that our country of Qi did not have more big ships, nor did we have enough sailors. Tens of thousands more. They... should all be alive."

"Jiannu is cruel, and this Palace has heard about it for a long time. I can only hate the rebellion and chaos in the world, so that Jiannu entered the pass and stole the capital." Prince Zhu Cihong said: "More than ten days ago, in the land of Denglai, Jiannu was defeated. In this way, it must be able to arouse more righteous men who are unwilling to be slaughtered by Jiannu, and raise troops to expel Jiannu and restore our Ming Dynasty."

"The establishment of slaves is powerful. Although our Qi army is good at fighting, we still dare not face the army of slaves. If the Han people in the world unite, we must be able to drive out the slaves and restore the Han family." Chen Dalang said: "I am afraid that in the future , the various forces in our Ming Dynasty do not want to expel external humiliation, but instead are eager to fight internally."

Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu Cihong also sighed slightly in his heart.

When the Northern Mission sent by the Nanjing Hongguang regime passed through Jinan, several people were separated, passing through Qingzhou and Laizhou, and went straight to Dengzhou, and finally came to Changshan Island by boat to meet the prince.The leader was Zhou Mingrui, the former member of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Ming Dynasty, who had met the crown prince and King Ding many times before.Moreover, he also has an important identity as a member of the Donglin Party.

As we all know, the city of Beijing was broken and Chongzhen died. At that time, when the officials of various ministries in Nanjing were electing candidates for the emperor, the Donglin Party resolutely opposed the succession of King Fu Zhu Yousong. "Li Xian".Of course, later Fu Wang Zhu Yousong got the support of the four towns in Jiangbei and became the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, changing Yuan Hongguang.The Donglin party members had no choice but to silence their flags and drums, and recognized King Fu as the new king of Ming Dynasty.

Now, after hearing that the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen is still alive and erecting a flag in Denglai to resist the invasion of the Qing army, the Donglin Party members immediately felt that they had found a treasure and insisted on sending people to Denglai to confirm the authenticity of the prince.After a fierce game, Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa and other cabinet ministers and officials immediately joined the northern mission team with several officials who had met the prince, and went to Denglai to identify the authenticity.

A month ago, Wailang Zhou Mingrui, former member of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and others came to Changshan Island. After meeting the prince, king Ding, and Princess Kunxing and other Chongzhen's surviving sons and daughters, they immediately confirmed the authenticity.However, the embarrassing thing was that when Zhou Mingrui met the prince, he didn't know what kind of gift he should do for a while.

It stands to reason that the crown prince, the crown prince of the country, everyone should salute the crown prince with the etiquette of courtiers worshiping the king.However, there is already a Ming emperor sitting in the city of Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang.Wouldn't it be a bit... contrary to the etiquette to pay homage to the crown prince with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.Although, a country cannot live without a king for a day, but it cannot exist for two days!

When the prince Zhu Cihong saw this, he immediately became angry, said "all the officials are rebellious", and walked away, leaving behind a group of embarrassing officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The governor of Denglai, Lai Wenpeishan, the prefect of Laizhou, Zhang Ruliang, the prefect of Dengzhou, Kuang Yingchun, and other prefectural officials tried their best to persuade the crown prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on the occasion of the great victory in Denglai. Fu Wang Zhu Yousong.

Prince Zhu Cihong was quite moved, but he was stopped by He Yunfeng, the general of the Qi State's economic strategy (staff officer), who said that all parts of the south of the Yangtze River had already surrendered to the Hongguang court in Nanjing, and what's more, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River to support him.If the prince proclaims himself emperor in Denglai, it will inevitably attract the attack of the Hongguang regime in Nanjing.At that time, Jiannu and the Hongguang court will attack from north to south, how can Denglai be the enemy.I'm afraid that at that time, the small court established by the crown prince will have to hide on this small island to survive.

In this way, it is better to learn from the Hongwu Emperor of the year, build high walls, accumulate food widely, proclaim himself king slowly, and wait for the situation in the world to evolve before taking the next step.

Prince Zhu Cihong thought for a long time, and agreed with He Yunfeng's opinion, not proclaiming himself emperor for the time being, waiting for the future.However, he disagreed with General Qi Jinglue's proposal to unite all forces in the Ming Dynasty to resist the establishment of slavery.The treacherous Li Zicheng was the chief culprit who forced Jun's father to death, and he will definitely be liquidated and revenged in the future, and Denglai's subordinates must not cooperate with him.

As for the Hongguang court in Nanjing, the prince also hated it. The crown prince was still alive, and he rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, which made the prince have no place to stand.If the envoy returns to Nanjing this time and reveals the identity of the crown prince to the south of the Yangtze River, Fufan can abdicate the throne wisely, and in the future he can still recognize this uncle Wang and promise him a rich life.

However, if this Fufan Zhu Yousong refuses to give up the throne, how should I, Denglai, deal with myself?

Could it be that Denglai still had to fight for a righteous name with Nanjing when he was building slaves and trespassing on the sidelines?
