Chongzhen Chat Group

"The Ming army still firmly occupies Jinzhou, Gaizhou and other places. He left it alone, obviously there is nothing he can do." Dorgon pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "But he repeatedly urged us to leave here, just because he wanted to Seeing that our two banners and the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty are depleting each other, no matter where there is a loss, it will be beneficial to him."

"Then just keep putting it off!" Duduo heard this and said sternly.

But Dorgon shook his head after hearing this and continued to explain his views: "It's not good if you don't go. He is already furious. Killing so many people is nothing more than to establish his authority. We dare to provoke, believe it or not, he will The Ming army doesn't care and will they only focus on dealing with us?"

"He dares to lead troops to North Korea?" Duduo asked in surprise when he heard this.

After hearing this, Dorgon shook his head and said: "This shouldn't happen, but he has a reputation for righteousness. If he wants to deal with us, he can use many methods. You dare to say that all the tribesmen of our two banners will listen to us obediently." Two of them, won’t one of them rebel?”

Regarding this matter, although Duduo, as the banner leader, has the power of life and death over the clan members of his banner, he cannot guarantee that no one in the clan will really turn to Huang Taiji.

There was no need for Duoduo to answer. Dorgon knew the answer, so he skipped the question and continued: "The key to the question now is, can Liaodong get out of the predicament? The lack of food supplies is the shortcoming of our Qing Dynasty. Last year, Ming Dynasty The country is taking advantage of this to attack our Qing Dynasty, and I expect this year will be no exception. If there is no food, no matter how powerful our Qing army is, it will still be a tiger without teeth, and there is nothing to worry about."

Having said this, Dorgon sighed, looked into the distance, and said with a bit of regret: "Last year, we exploited North Korea too much. It is foreseeable that North Korea will also be extremely short of supplies this year. Now it seems that this We two brothers have to bear the consequences. Otherwise, if we have sufficient supplies, it would be a good time to let him step down!"

Upon hearing this, Duduo's eyes lit up and he immediately responded: "Can't we obtain food and supplies from the Japanese country?"

"If Toyotomi Kunimatsu grows stronger, it's easy to say how much food and supplies he can have with only a small corner of the land. Besides, he himself has to fight and store food and supplies." Dorgon sighed, With a sad look on his face, he said, "Food, food, we are short of food too!"

After saying this with emotion, he turned to look at Dodo and changed the topic: "Currently, we don't have much capital to fight against him, unless we continue like this, and we have made progress in the Japanese country. But these are far-fetched. No matter what, we still have to send troops to Jinzhou."

Duduo was a little surprised, but before he could speak, Dorgon continued: "But I will report to the meeting that we do have no food in North Korea and cannot use the army. Moreover, there is a severe famine in North Korea and rebels are rampant. A large army is still needed to guard it. In this way, you can bring a thousand Qing troops and some North Korean troops to deal with it, and you can atone for your sins along the way. Just remember..."

At this point, Dorgon raised his voice and said seriously: "Don't try to attack the city. You can't defeat the Dongjiang Army with Lu Xiangsheng here. Just build defenses on the sea side to cut off the Jinzhou Ming Army." Just retreat.”

It was time to give in. Although Duduo had suffered a huge defeat, he was still a little reluctant to do this despite his youthful spirit.

Dorgon obviously knew his younger brother, so he immediately emphasized seriously: "Today's Dongjiang Army is no longer what it used to be. At least in my opinion, the strength of the Dongjiang Army led by Lu Xiangsheng is not much worse than yours. Therefore, you must pay attention to this opponent, defend well, and wait for the opportunity to withdraw. Do not underestimate the enemy, and returning safely is the first priority!"

After a pause, he added: "I will tell him that your troops are not strong enough to deal with the Ming Army of Jinzhou alone, and ask him to send troops to besiege Jinzhou together. This does not count as our private message. . He must persist and allocate food if he can."

After hearing this, Duduo finally believed in his brother and nodded in agreement.

After Dorgon finished explaining, he turned and looked in the direction of Liaodong, but he was extremely worried in his heart. He was not worried about what would happen to Duduo, but about the future of the entire Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty used this strategy of consuming national power to make the once powerful Mongols look like beggars. They attacked and killed each other for a few supplies. Their strength became weaker and weaker day by day. They were no longer as strong as the Mongol Empire back then.

Now this trick is used on the Qing Dynasty. Although it knows what the consequences will be, the Qing Dynasty is following in the footsteps of the Mongols, and the internal cracks are now obvious. If there is no news of victory and no replenishment of food supplies, there will probably be unrest in Liaodong again!

Huang Taiji didn't know Dorgon's knowledge! For this reason, the extra white hair he had during this period was actually all due to worry. Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, the Ming army's movements will definitely become more frequent. If you are not afraid of fighting them, you are afraid of fighting them when you are hungry!

For this reason, Huang Taiji sent a messenger to Horqin almost every day to urge Hauge to hurry up!

At this time, on the grassland of Horqin, an army was returning. They were the elite Horqin troops led by Wu Keshan. Without real enemies, they could not stay outside for too long, so they had to come back.

Wu Keshan was surprised to see both Hauge and Bumbutai. After being perfunctory, he hid and asked him what happened to Eqi Ge?

So Bu He told him everything about what happened after Wu Keshan left, and Wu Keshan was extremely surprised.

As far as he was concerned, although Buhe and Hai Lanzhu were not optimistic about the Qing Dynasty, he did not expect that things would develop far beyond his expectations. In the battle of Gaizhou, the Ming army was so powerful that even Huang Taiji personally led the army and was defeated. This would have been unimaginable before!

The current situation of the Mongolian tribes also surprised him even more. It was only then that he admired Hai Lanzhu's foresight from the bottom of his heart. At this point, he was only thinking about embracing the Ming Dynasty and was no longer optimistic about the Qing Dynasty.

With the help of Wu Keshan, Hailanzhu had an even more comprehensive grasp of what was happening on Hauge's side. Therefore, Huang Taiji's urging and Hauge's pressure on the Mongolian tribe are also clear about it.

On this day, Hai Lanzhu entered the chat group and privately chatted with Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Jianlu couldn't bear it anymore and gave the two tribes a deadline to get food."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he was very happy. He had bitten the hook and it would not be unhooked. It's just a pity that the imperial doctor had no idea how to produce poisonous food on a large scale, so he had to use another plan.

So, he privately chatted with Mrs. Liu and told her: "Tell Mr. Sun Ge that you can start Plan A!"
