I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On the 27th, news of Liu Liangzuo's defeat reached Nanjing.

Seeing the battle report, Hong Chengchou almost lost his temper on the spot.

Shame, this kind of defeat is a shame for the Qing army who has been winning streak.

Forty thousand troops could not capture a city, but they were defeated by the Ming army, using the same night attack technique. Hong Chengchou really wanted to call Liu Liangzuo to give him a few slaps, and then asked him why he didn't guard against night attacks?

What makes Hong Chengchou even more depressed is that Liu Liangzuo's subordinates rebelled, which is more serious than Liu Liangzuo's failure.

Originally, the Manchu bannermen did not trust the Ming troops who had surrendered, but it was he who wrote to him with advice and guarantees, which made the people above decide to accept the surrender of the Han people on a large scale, and set a strategy of using the Han people to govern the Han people.

He paid a lot for this to gain the trust of the banner people, but unfortunately, because of Dong Tianbao's betrayal, these efforts were in vain.

It can be expected that in the future, the bannermen will be more harsh on the surrender of the Han people, which will lead to the dissatisfaction of the Han officials and strengthen the resistance of those Han officials.

All in all, this is a very bad cycle.

Hong Chengchou knew very well that the Manchus had a fatal weakness, that is, their population was too small.

If this population wants to rule the land of China, they must trust Hanchen and use Hanchen.

Other than that, there is no other way.

If it is not given to those capable people of the Han nationality, how can those people be reconciled? By that time, I am afraid that there will be continuous uprisings all over the world.

There are not many people who can see through this, and Hong Chengchou is one of them.

Therefore, even if Dong Tianbao betrayed, Hong Chengchou still expressed in the memorial that he would reuse Hanchen and continue to implement the strategy of focusing on comfort and supplemented by suppression.

After writing the memorial, Hong Chengchou picked up the battle report again, and this time he mainly focused on Wu Changqing.

Once again, the less wins the more, and the weak wins the strong, which is enough to prove Wu Changqing's ability.

Even, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, Wu Changqing's threat was even greater than that of the Ming Dynasty in the south.

Hong Chengchou was very aware of the troubles and drawbacks in the Daming court. After all, he used to be in Daming's official circles, and he knew that Daming had decayed to the point of hopelessness.

Although the Ming Dynasty controlled many places, Hong Chengchou did not take them seriously. And this emerging Wu Changqing made Hong Chengchou somewhat incomprehensible.

He has also recently received some information from Wu Changqing one after another, and has learned a lot about Wu Changqing. On the surface, Wu Changqing seems to be mediocre except for being younger.

However, such a mediocre person can win every battle.

"It's not easy."

Hong Chengchou said with emotion, what a feat it is to unify the land of China. If you want to accomplish such a feat, the process is destined to not be smooth sailing, and you will inevitably encounter some setbacks.

On this point, Hong Chengchou was very open.

He then ordered Liu Liangzuo to guard Changzhou to prevent Wu Changqing from threatening the safety of Nanjing.

As for sending troops to fight the rebellion, he doesn't have much troops in his hands now. Even if they were taken out, they were all surrendered generals of the Han army like Liu Liangzuo.

Not to mention the issue of loyalty, that is, their combat effectiveness is also very worrying.

Liu Liangzuo failed to win forty thousand to eight thousand, how can other Han generals do? Now that Wu Changqing is bound to strengthen his strength again, and if he sends those soldiers to quell the rebellion, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it without a hundred thousand.

He doesn't have that many troops available now, and even if there are troops, he won't be able to pay for an army of 100,000 troops.

Hong Chengchou can only count on Lu Ke Dehun to pacify Jiangxi as soon as possible, and then transfer the main force of the Eight Banners back to quell the rebellion. Or wait for the army from Beijing to come, there are still many Eight Banners soldiers in the north, and they can almost go south again.

In Beijing at this time, the battle report Dorgon got was half a month ago.

It is also mentioned that Wu Changqing rebelled in Jiading and had already captured Suzhou. As for the news of Wu Changqing's defeat of Liu Liangzuo, it hasn't spread so quickly.

"These wastes can't even handle a small rebellion."

Dorgon snorted coldly.

"Brother, let me lead the troops to kill all these rioters."

Duo Duo is a relatively impatient person, and he can't wait to lead troops to quell the rebellion immediately.

"Calm down, it's just a small rebellion. It's not worth it. Let the troops rest first, and wait until the spring of next year to lead the army south, and completely pacify the south in one fell swoop."

As the regent, Dorgon is much calmer. A small rebellion cannot cause any big waves in his eyes.

Even the Ming court did not take it seriously. After all, the battle in the early stage was so smooth that it could be described as destructive.

Li Zicheng's Dashun army in the west still resisted, but Da Ming in the south surrendered wherever they really went.

Dorgon despised this kind of opponent in his heart.

"When we completely pacify the South, the elder brother can kick that boy Fulin aside."

To repeat the old saying of Dodo, he always wanted Dorgon to become emperor.

When Huang Taiji first died, Dodo and many others wanted Dorgon to compete for the throne. However, at that time, the two yellow flags strongly opposed him, and there were people in the other blue flags, upright red flags, and red flags who did not support him.

In desperation, he was at that time

He could only reach a compromise with many figures in the real power faction, and established Huang Taiji's youngest son Fulin, that is, Emperor Shunzhi.

Although the throne was lost, Dorgon began to master the military and political power, and was named his uncle regent after he seized Beijing.

Not only did he become the first person in terms of power, but he was even on par with the emperor in terms of etiquette and accounting, and achieved the power to dominate the court and the opposition.

But now, if Dorgon really wants to usurp the throne, no one can really stop him.

However, Dorgon still waved his hand, indicating that this matter should not be mentioned again for the time being.

Dorgon knew very well in his heart that he had a good chance of usurping the throne, but in the process, it was inevitable that many people would disobey and lead to a rebellion.

At that time, even if he takes the throne, his strength will be greatly damaged, and at the same time, he will give Daming a chance to breathe.

Therefore, Dorgon will not be stupid enough to usurp the throne at this time. Even if it is to usurp the throne, at least it has to wait until Daming is destroyed, China is unified, and there are no external opponents.

As for now, anyway, military and political power is in his hands. Except for etiquette, he is not the emperor, but in terms of power, he is undoubtedly the emperor.

As a practical person, Dorgon will not give up the opportunity to dominate the world for a name.
