Four, five, six, the stars and the sun and the moon (2)
"Zuo Liangyu died, and the generals of Chu Town were all in power and separating the side. The Ming court needed 300,000 troops to pacify Huguang. Therefore, the elite Ming soldiers in the capital might be sent down." Dorgon's body had not recovered yet, and his thin figure was almost completely swallowed by a seat covered with tiger skin. He weakly informed his hard-core confidant.
Because of her firm position recently, Song Hongye has also received the "gift" of participating in the confidential meeting. Standing at the end of the class, she was sweating profusely when she heard it.
Because this information was handed over to him by the crown prince, and he asked him to gain Dorgon's further trust.
What went wrong? After Song Hongye received the information, he did not let the second person know, and it must not be his own. Moreover, this information was made using the "dead vote method", and it was a dead address that was thrown by an uninformed trafficker at a dead address where no one would look for the second time. It was very safe.
Could it be that there is an insider around the crown prince?
Song Hongye thought to himself.
"Song Hongye." Dorgon pointed out Song Hongye's name: "I have sent you to do this errand, why didn't there be any progress?"
Seeing that Dorgon was dissatisfied with him, Song Hongye had to bite the bullet and said, "Master, I actually got the news."
"Oh?" Dorgon narrowed his eyes.
"Master, the slave thinks: this news is probably unrealistic, and there are many delusional words, so they dare not send it to the master." Song Hongye said.
“Tell me.”
"Master." Song Hongye sorted out in his heart and said, "It is unreliable that the rumors of Zuo Liangyu's death are the most rumored. The Ming court is the best at playing with such real and false news. How could Zuo Liangyu die halfway after just starting a rebellion? I think it was probably because the Ming court released the news and did not allow other vassal states to support him."
Dorgon also felt that this was a bit too coincidental. It would be reasonable to say that the Ming court deliberately spread the news of Zuo Liangyu's death and prevent other vassal states from having the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Secondly, Chu Zhen is known for 200,000 yuan. The actual amount is 80,000 yuan. Even if you have to make a full decision, you don't need a 300,000 army to suppress it. What's more, they have already said that those powerful generals are in charge and separating the side. That is a good time to defeat them. Is it really necessary to mobilize troops from Beijing?" Song Hongye clarified his thoughts and spoke much more quickly.
"It was also because the teacher and veteran were tired and useless." Song Hongye added.
"This matter is related to the safety of my Qing Dynasty's exit from the customs. We still need to investigate it clearly." Dorgon finally chose to believe Song Hongye.
Song Hongye gradually felt relieved and said to himself: No matter where the news comes from, obviously Dorgon has other sources of information. How can such competitors be kept? Even if they keep them, they can only use their faults to complement my ability.
"Master, there is something that I have only been confirmed before I passed the mansion today. I haven't had time to write this question." Song Hongye searched in his mind and found a piece of news that did not affect the overall situation and could show his own abilities.
"There are all confidants here, but it's okay to say it."
"Ye," Song Hongye responded, "It was Zhang Xianzhong, who was under the banner of Daxi, who recently abandoned Chongqing and fled into Guizhou. The Ming court has appointed Yang Zhan as the general officer of Sichuan. Liu Zongmin was the governor of Sichuan, and Gu Junen was the governor of Sichuan. The troops who broke into Sichuan were named "Zhongzhen Camp."
"What happened far away in Sichuan has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty." Dorgon only felt that it was nothing to do with him, but he subconsciously gave Song Hongye's ability a little affirmation.
However, Song Hongye was unwilling to send out information and only achieved this gain. He bowed and said, "Master, this is probably more useful than the news from Chu Zhen."
"Oh? Huguang is the granary of the world, the so-called transformation and transformation. Sichuan is just a barbarian land on the border. What if it gets chaos?" Dorgon disagreed.
"Master, Liu Zongmin is the number one general under Li Zicheng, known as Xiao Xu Da. Gu Junen is Li Zicheng's first planner. Two people are civil and military, one is governor and the other is governor. How can Sichuan remain unchanged? Once Sichuan changes, tens of thousands of troops will break into Huguang and Hanzhong. How can the Ming court not transfer heavy troops?" Song Hongye reasoned.
Dorgon felt relieved: If this were the case, Beizhi would indeed be much more relaxed.
"Master, so I thought: If Sichuan changes, the Ming court will soon use troops to the Qing Dynasty." Song Hongye not only needs his position in intelligence, but also needs the identity of a strategist, otherwise many of Dorgon's ideas would not be able to detect, which would be a huge waste.
"oh?"
"The so-called "military military strategy" means that it is real, and the real one is empty. If the Ming court wants to dispatch troops to Sichuan, it must fight with us here first, and it must fight..." Song Hongye almost said, "We can fight our army to escape from the barrier as soon as possible." After holding it in, he turned around: "We can believe that they are going to fight to the death here."
Dorgon nodded and looked at Hong Chengchou, as if asking for the advice of the adviser.
"Then why didn't we set up an empty city plan and suddenly withdraw the defense, making our army think they had other tricks?" Hong Chengchou had no choice but to go forward and ask.
Song Hongye thought for a while and said, "What Hong said was very true. It was just that the Ming court was headed by the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang. This person has always been cautious and cautious in using troops. The possibility of using empty city strategies is extremely small. If it is not good, he will send troops to test it."
Hong Chengchou did not deny it, but just retreated, and Dorgon had to do the judgment himself.
Dorgon was still weak at this time and his mind was not very sharp. After thinking for a long time, he had no gains. He simply waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, but asked the two white flags to withdraw from the pass as soon as possible and handed over the task behind the palace to Daishan and Boluo, who commanded the two red flags. The two yellow flags were the emperor's personal flags. At this moment, escorting Shunzhi and the people in the harem had arrived in Zunhua and planned to leave the pass from Xifengkou.
Xifengkou was the Lulong Pass during the Tang Dynasty, and the city was built in the third year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, called Xifengkou Pass. Manchu broke through the pass several times and took this road, which was very familiar. Moreover, compared to walking on Shanhaiguan, although the road back to Xifengkou is far away, it is safer. Now the Ming Navy occupies the entire Liaohai Sea, and one side of the Liaoxi Corridor is a mountain and the other side is a sea. If the Ming army lands in the Liaohai Sea, the alarm caused to the Holy Driving is also a great cause.
Moreover, when you leave Xifengkou, you can use the army to intimidate the Mongolian flags. Although the Manchus know that they have hit the iron plate this time, they must not let their allies see it. Even if the allies are already suspicious, they have to pretend to win a great victory, otherwise who will work hard with you in the future?
Furthermore, although Lin Danhan was dead, it was impossible for any Mongolian prince to have any other thoughts when he saw the Manchuria was weak. At that time, it would be more than worth the loss. The Mongolians were so poor that they didn’t even have an iron pot, they ran faster than rabbits, and they didn’t have much oil or water after being beaten.
Following the two yellow flags, the two blue flags were used to protect the sage.
As Dorgon's direct descendant, the two white flags withdrew from Beijing after the two blue flags and went back to Shengjing through Shanhaiguan. This not only allowed a few more days of plunder, but also allowed to return to Shengjing earlier than the Shengdao, and gained some advantage in resettlement.
Hong Chengchou knew that this was Suksaha's idea, and he thought that this person was also petty, but seeing Dorgon so happy, he naturally would not go against Yan and advise, otherwise he would be a shameful person.
"Don't leave even a needle to the Ming court!" This is the common call of the two white flags.
Some people even suggested burning Beijing before leaving, which can cut off the Han people's desire to return home, and vent their resentment and pay tribute to the relatives of the same clan who died in the pass.
Fortunately, the upper class of Manchuria was already afraid of the Ming court and was afraid of such decisive measures, which would attract bloody revenge from the Ming army in the future.
However, if you don’t burn Beijing, you can burn the Forbidden City. This will make the psychological pressure much lighter and calm the voices of the tribe.
"It's really wonderful. When Li Zicheng left, he wanted to burn the Forbidden City." Hong Chengchou seemed to agree, but Dorgon remembered Li Zicheng's fate, and felt it was not very good. From then on, the saying of burning the city was stopped.
"If you take the things away, Nikan will transport them over. Don't burn the house, it will be ours in the future." Dorgon forced himself to say a tough word, but it sounded lack of confidence.
...
"They can't take everything away at will." Zhu Cixuan gently tapped the book case: all the antiques in the palace will be priced at a sky-high price in the future, and it will make people feel distressed for a few days if you make a bowl.
What's more, the three hundred years of accumulation of Zhu's family, the excellent works sent by masters of calligraphy and painting, the works of emperors of all generations, and the special treasures tributed by the four vassal states... If the Qing Dynasty was taken away, on the one hand, the country would not have a good reputation, and on the other hand... Could it be that the royal family would buy new ones like the explosive households?
The Qing Dynasty did not have the obsession with Zhu Cilang for those things that could not be eaten and used. They took away food and population first, followed by livestock and gold and silver treasures, and finally antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and artworks. As for the ritual vessels such as gold and romance that had been used for more than two hundred years, the Manchus would only be surprised that the Ming court had such dilapidated garbage, and there would be no idea of taking it away.
So in addition to the royal daily necessities taken away by the two yellow flags, the big head is in the hands of the two white flags.
Song Hongye easily stole an item that took away palace cultural relics, and also discovered a theft group with eunuchs in the palace as the main body. It was just because the capital was in a bad light now and the Manchus were plundering too much that the market shrank severely. We can leave it back to it.
"Your Highness! Fight!" Xiao Donglou heard that the Crown Prince did not allow the Manchus to move, and finally couldn't help but shout out: "My Second Division is the only one who wants to fight!"
"If our army wants to send 10,000 troops to Juehua Island, how many days will the navy need to transport?" Zhu Cixuan looked at Shen Tingyang sitting on his left hand.
After the establishment of the Tianjin headquarters, Shen Tingyang rushed to Tianjin. On the one hand, he presented his own finalized "Fu Bo Jin Ce" and on the other hand, he also looked at whether there were new tasks assigned by Liaodong.
Shen Tingyang thought silently, calculating one ship of more than 300 people, 10,000 people would take 300 ships. If the army gathered in Fuzhou, it would only take 200 miles to Juehua Island. As long as you borrow the wind, you can complete the task in 507 days. If you leave a balance, it will be no problem to report for ten days.
