Chapter 1079 Thunder Means (Thanks to "Bai Bai Sun God")
"What both of you said makes sense, let me think about it before making a decision." In view of the strong smell of gunpowder at the scene, Duoduo was very smart to stop the fight and temporarily terminate the meeting.
After hearing this, Di Chen got up and left with a gloomy face. He felt a little bit of regret in his heart. If he had known this, he might as well have chosen the Nanming camp and killed all these arrogant guys.
"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"
Through this incident, Dichen seemed to realize something.
…………
When Di Chen left, Abatai said, "Ten Princes, do you really believe what that strange man said?"
Aixinjueluo Duoduo is the fifteenth son of Qing Taizu Nurhachi, the same mother and brother of Azige and Dorgon, and the owner of the Manchurian white flag. He was commonly known as the ten kings at the time, one of the eight emperors of the early Qing Dynasty, and a knighthood Hereditary does not replace.
Duoduo narrowed his eyes slightly, "You were not present during the battle of Yangzhou, so I don't know how powerful that alien army is. He commanded an elite army of 100,000, how could he easily offend him."
Abatai was startled, and said, "What does the prince mean?"
Duoduo straightened his back and said boldly: "The Alien Legion is strong, but my Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty is not weak. Starting tomorrow, I will use you as the vanguard to attack Jianye. I will lead my troops and arrive soon."
Abatai was overjoyed, "How will the Alien Legion be arranged?"
"Let them guard Yangzhou City and attack Jianye. Our army of 150,000 is enough." Duoduo is indeed a seasoned general. Although he is confident in the Eight Banners Army, he is not as overconfident as Abate.
Liu Dichen is guarding Yangzhou, so they have no worries.
"Your Highness is brilliant!" Abate admired.
…………
When Dichen learned of Duoduo's arrangement, he cursed angrily, "Bastard!"
Guarding Yangzhou is not an easy task.
One is the shortage of grain and grass in Yangzhou, the other is that the city wall is broken, the third is that there is no danger to defend, and the fourth is that there is no popular support.
With these four shortcomings, no matter how confident Di Chen was, he didn't think he could stop Guo Ziyi's attack with a 100,000 army. Once Yangzhou City is broken, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, he, Di Chen, will leave early.
Duoduo's intentions are not insidious, he just wanted to let the alien legions of the two camps fight each other, and he himself led the main force of the Qing army to the south to capture Jianye and make the first contribution.
In comparison, Abate looks a little immature.
Di Chen saw through Duduo's intentions, but he had nothing to refute, so he could only follow orders. He only had one hundred thousand troops this time, and he was in the Qing camp, so he couldn't lead the battle in his camp like Ouyang Shuo did.
Looking at the back of the Qing army going south, a trace of malice flashed in Di Chen's eyes.
…………
Day six of the campaign.
Just when the Qing army went south, there was a sudden big cleansing in Jianye City.
In the name of the regent, Ouyang Shuo listed the crimes of Qian Qianyi and others one by one, and with the cooperation of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, they were sent to prison one by one.
If the circumstances are serious, the family property will be directly confiscated and used as military resources.
In order to intimidate the officials, Ouyang Shuo even transferred 40,000 imperial guards into the city to guard it.
Qian Qianyi and the others were thinking about how to hedge their bets. Even the letter of congratulatory surrender to the Qing court had been quietly written. Who would have thought that they would be imprisoned in a blink of an eye, and all their plans would be shattered in an instant.
Flying across the sky, there is only a weak sentence of "I am wronged ~~~ I am wronged~~~"
This is the power of thunder.
The sudden storm made the already nervous Jianye City even more terrified. For a while, rumors spread, and even the family of a wealthy gentry began to move southward, taking refuge in Lingnan further south.
At this time, the news of the Qing army going south spread.
This blow was like a fire cooking oil, blasting the entire Jianye City into a pot.
There are countless refugees.
The strange thing is that the regent Ouyang Shuo didn't stop the people from fleeing. He just took three thousand guards and paid a ostentatious visit to Liu Liangzuo's troops stationed outside the city.
When Liu Liangzuo saw it, his face turned pale instantly.
After Ouyang Shuo left, Li Jing, who had already returned to Jianye, took over Liu Liangzuo's 50,000 troops. As for Liu Liangzuo himself, he quietly left Jianye with his family and relatives under the guard of a group of personal soldiers.
No one knows what happened in Liu Liangzuo's barracks in just one hour, making the rebellious Liu Liangzuo obediently hand over the command of the troops and retreat in embarrassment.
Those who witnessed it only whispered: "The light of the knife is very white, and the blood is very red..."
In the afternoon, Li Jing led 50,000 Nanming troops into the city.
Just as Di Chen expected, with the 40,000 Imperial Army in the Great Xia, supplemented by the 50,000 Southern Ming Army, and Li Jing, the God of War, in charge, Doduo's wish to break through Jianye in a short period of time is simply wishful thinking.
Not to mention, after Li Jing made peace, the rest of the 60,000 Dashun Army was already moving closer to Jianye.
Zhang Xianzhong, who is far away in Sichuan, has also given a clear answer. As long as the Nanming army moves northward, the Great Western Army will immediately leave Sichuan and enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty to drive out the Tartars together.
A big net has already quietly covered Daqing.
Some people may wonder why the Qing army was in such a difficult situation in history, why it suddenly became difficult after Ouyang Shuo intervened, as if there were enemies of the Qing army everywhere? !
This is not difficult to understand.
One thing is that the Qing army itself, whether it is military strength or individual combat power, does not have an advantage, especially in the early stage of the war, it is even at an absolute disadvantage.
At the beginning, Dorgon just wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to enter the customs to take advantage of it, loot some supplies and people, and planned to leave with a grab.
The best result is to occupy the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.
If someone told Dorgon at that time that the Qing Dynasty could rule the world, it would probably make Dorgon's legs weak from fright, and he would not believe it if he was killed.
It wasn't until Li Zicheng drove Wu Sangui to a dead end, and Dorgon took advantage of the fire to loot and successfully captured Shanhaiguan, that his ambition to dominate the Central Plains gradually swelled.
Even so, I'm afraid I don't have the guts to rule the world.
When the Qing army worked hard to wipe out Li Zicheng's Dashun regime in the north, more than half of the territory and officials of the Ming Dynasty were still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty in name, and the total force even exceeded the Qing army.
However, even at this time, the Ming Dynasty was still busy fighting internally. For the throne, it was a life-and-death struggle, which gave the Qing army enough time to wipe out Dashun.
It was not until Dashun was destroyed that the Qing army really stood up.
Even so, the north and the south are just in a tie, and it is not said which side really has the absolute advantage.
One of the key reasons why Nanming, Daxi, and subsequent regimes were wiped out one by one by the Qing army in a short period of time was that the entire south lacked a warrior capable of turning the tide.
Not to mention Gao Jie and other warlords, Shi Kefa can only be regarded as a man of integrity at best, not a great talent.
Until Ouyang Shuo appeared.
In terms of means, Ouyang Shuo is ahead of the others; in terms of strength, the 200,000 alien army is the biggest trump card. Coupled with the support of Li Jing, Guo Ziyi and other generals, the whole situation is naturally different.
