Ming politicians

Duoduo was full of ambition and led the army to attack Fuzhou.

There are many places to choose to attack. Starting from Haizhou and going to the right, you can attack Xiuyan, occupy Phoenix City and Xuancheng and other places, and you can attack Yongning and Fuzhou if you go forward. It is to attack Xiuyan, occupy Phoenix City and Xuancheng and other places, and attack Fuzhou and Xuanzhou in a roundabout way. This will catch the Jiangning camp stationed in Fuzhou and other places by surprise. Unfortunately, Duoduo firmly disagrees with this suggestion.

There is obviously a conflict between Duduo and Jierhalang. Huang Taiji appointed Jierhalang as the coach. Duduo is not convinced. He has been stationed in Haizhou for a long time and has made all preparations. His elder brother Dorgon was stationed in Liaodong and became the coach. The two were stationed in Liaodong and Haizhou almost at the same time. No matter from which point of view, he should be the coach.

Because he has been stationed in Haizhou for a long time, Duoduo is familiar with the situation here, and has deployed his troops in Haizhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou. It can be said that these defenses are still very good. There are defensive deployments and offensive deployments. In the last battle between Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, Duoduo was very unconvinced. The army he led had almost no direct contact with the Jiangning battalion. He set off with great ambitions and returned to Haizhou in despair.

Huang Taiji appointed Jierharang as the coach, which touched Duduo's mind. Hauge became the crown prince, and Duduo felt uncomfortable. He always believed that his brother Dorgon was far stronger than Hauge. If we start from the future of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon should inherit the throne. Besides, the Qing Dynasty does not necessarily have to adopt the method of inheritance from father to son. Only those who are virtuous and talented can occupy high positions. The Qing Dynasty It needs to be strong and needs to attack the Central Plains.The Ming Dynasty needs to be overthrown. Under such circumstances, Dorgon should be the heir to the throne.

After Hauge became the crown prince, Doduo also moved some thoughts, thinking of attracting many Manchu nobles and causing trouble for Hauge.At the same time, secretly gather forces to help Dorgon seize the throne after Huang Taiji and Long Yu return to heaven. Unfortunately, the development of the situation has made Dorgon and Duoduo's situation more and more unfavorable. Will free up his hands to deal with Dorgon, Azig and him.

The Ming army aggressively attacked, under such a situation.The struggle for the throne is no longer the biggest thing, not to mention that Hauge's position is gradually becoming stable. Daishan, Ji Erhalang and others all support Hauge, and the six banners among the eight banners all support Hauge , to support the decision made by Huang Taiji, under such circumstances.Smart people know what to do.

This battle, in the eyes of Huang Taiji, Hauge and others.It is to protect the Qing Dynasty, but in the eyes of Dorgon and Duoduo, it is an opportunity for them to show their abilities. If they make great contributions in this war, their position will definitely be more stable.Even if Hauge became the emperor, he should respect them.

Duduo was very angry that he could not become the coach of Haizhou. Although he was the deputy coach, in terms of credit and influence.It is greatly discounted, which is very detrimental to his future development.

Duoduo did not dare to be jealous of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji's wisdom is not something he can shake, although he knows that such an arrangement is what Huang Taiji meant, so Duoduo put his hatred on Hauge and Jierhalang on the head.

Jierhalang was also a brave general of the Qing Dynasty, but the situation is different now. Jierhalang stayed in Shenyang for a long time and rarely participated in the expedition, and he had not been to Haizhou for a long time. When I arrived in Haizhou, it was still during the battle between Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, and I didn't stay in Haizhou for a long time, and I was not familiar with the situation at all. Although Jierhalang once fought in Xuanzhou and other places, it was a long time ago It's a thing of the past.

Just when Huang Taiji decided to make Jierhalang the coach of Haizhou, Dorgon wrote a letter to Duo Duo, admonishing Duo Duo to obey Huang Taiji's decision. Attack, and it is a large-scale attack. At this time, the safety of the Qing Dynasty is more important than anything else.

Huang Taiji also had a special talk with Duoduo, implying that he asked Duduo to consult more with Jierhalang before making a decision, and to obey the commander's orders. My own brother, even if it is a brotherhood, still has to make concessions in the face of major issues of principle.

All these methods failed to completely untie Duduo's knot.

After Jierharang came to Haizhou, Duduo's attitude was average and he didn't show due respect.

Ji Erhalang is very scheming, of course he knows the secret.

Huang Taiji's deployment in the direction of Haizhou is to take the initiative to attack and recover Fuzhou and Xuanzhou as much as possible. Even if this goal cannot be achieved, the Jiangning battalion that defends Fuzhou and Xuanzhou must be given the greatest support. hit.

This kind of arrangement gives Jierhalang and Duoduo a huge space to display. Strictly speaking, the attack from the Haizhou direction is more important than the defense from the Liaodong direction. The Ming army will naturally be hit.

After Jierharang came to Haizhou, no matter what attitude Duduo had, he began to discuss with Duduo about the deployment of the attack.

Jierhalang's opinion is to launch an attack from the direction of Xiuyan, and attack Fuzhou from the side. The Jiangning battalion is mainly stationed in Fuzhou and Yongning. Not many, the casualties caused by attacking these places must be smaller, and occupying these places can also deal a heavy blow to Jiangning Battalion.

Doduo firmly disagrees with such an arrangement, and his reasons are very good.

The Jiangning battalion is mainly stationed in Fuzhou and other places. The purpose is to defend the wharf in Lushun, so that the Jiangning battalion in the direction of Dengzhou can provide reinforcements at any time. Therefore, in the counterattack, Fuzhou and Yongning must be selected, and the Jiangning battalion will be directly dealt a major blow. As long as it is defeated The Jiangning battalion sergeants in Fuzhou had Xuanzhou, Xiuyan, Fenghuangcheng, Xuancheng and other places at their fingertips. The Jiangning battalion simply had no ability to take care of these places, and they attacked Xiuyan, Xuancheng and other places first. It will alert the Jiangning battalion and let the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion make adequate preparations in Yongning and Fuzhou.

Jierhalang is not a person who can't listen to opinions. He also believes that Duoduo's thinking is reasonable, so he doesn't fully insist on his own opinions. This is not to say that Jierhalang has no opinions. On the contrary, if Considering mature opinions, no matter what the situation is, Jierhalang will insist, but the direction of this attack, Jierhalang listened to some suggestions from Fan Wencheng, and attacked Xiuyan first, that is, It was proposed by Fan Wencheng.

The choice of the main attack direction must be reported to Hauge and Huang Taiji.

After several discussions between Jierhalang and Duoduo, they finally decided to directly attack Yongning and Fuzhou. Duoduo led an army of [-] to directly attack Yongning and Fuzhou. If you win, you must also hold on. Jierhalang will lead the soldiers to reinforce at critical times.

This memorial was written in great detail. It stated all the reasons for the attack, including all the arrangements and deployments, the time of the attack, the marching route, etc., all of which were described. Submit the memorial directly to Huang Taiji without going through Hauge and Fan Wencheng. This is also where Jierhalang is smart and try to avoid conflicts. Since Fan Wencheng has different suggestions, then please Huang Taiji directly make a decision However, if Huang Taiji decided to attack from Xiuyan after seeking the opinions of Hauge and Fan Wencheng, it would not be something he could decide, and Duoduo had to implement it.

After reading the memorial, Huang Taiji agreed immediately without hesitation.During this process, Huang Taiji did not ask Haoge and Fan Wencheng for their opinions. In fact, Huang Taiji was aware of the strangeness here. If Haoge and Fan Wencheng were asked to come up with specific opinions, they would probably still attack Xiuyan and Xuancheng and other places, surrounded and attacked Fuzhou in a roundabout way.

However, Huang Taiji still made some changes, that is, in terms of the number of soldiers participating in the attack, Huang Taiji asked Duoduo to lead the attack with [-] soldiers. Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou must still stick to it, Jierhalang In the memorial with Duoduo, it is stated that Duduo led an army of [-] to attack, so the number of soldiers guarding Gaizhou and other places is obviously a little small, and Jierhalang will lead the army to follow up with reinforcements. If this is the case, what happened? Mistakes, there are likely to be problems.

Duoduo was very happy to receive Huang Taiji's imperial decree. Anyway, his suggestion was approved, and he could make great achievements by leading the army to attack Fuzhou and Yongning directly. Such a contribution is enough to stand out from the crowd up.

Jierhalang seemed very calm and showed no special performance. When arranging the soldiers for the expedition, Jierhalang suggested that the inlaid white banner among the eight banners and some Zhenglan banner soldiers among the eight Han banners, including some Han soldiers Army, follow the action. As for the specific combat deployment, it has been determined long ago. If there is any special situation, it will be decided by Duoduo temporarily.

During the arrangement process, Dorgon wrote to Dodo again, specifically admonishing Dodo to pay attention to all actions and report to Jierhalang, anyway, Jierhalang is the coach.Duoduo accepted such a suggestion, on the one hand agreed to Jierhalang's arrangement, on the other hand, also reported all the combat deployment arrangements to Jierhalang again.

Everything seemed to be going well. The vanguard set off from Gaizhou on August [-], and the large army behind set off from Gaizhou on August [-]. The two armies met within fifty miles, and most of them marched toward He went in the direction of Fuzhou. (To be continued..)
