Dolgon said with his palm: "This matter cannot be talked about lightly, after all, their ancestral family has the greatest influence among the Han army in Liaodong, and Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui are still uncles and nephews, so they must not be easily suppressed." What's more, in the battle of Ashan, Zu Zepu was mostly only responsible for escorting grain and grass. If there is no good time and a good replacement, the matter can only be put aside for now. Fan Wencheng only mentioned it on the matter, the regent had no idea, so he naturally didn't have any objections, so the matter was temporarily stopped. It's just that no one has mentioned whether Nan Zhili wants it anymore, so it's not necessary, right?

With this dialogue, there is the following story, in the early autumn of the fifth year of Yongli, Zuo Mengeng, the first cannon fodder of the Qing Dynasty, received an order, and Dolgon asked him to lead the troops back to Shandong to defend Qingzhou. At first, Zuo Mengeng was quite beautiful, thinking that this time he finally didn't have to stay under the nose of the main force of the Ming army to be beaten, and he could sleep peacefully every night. So the left cannon fodder was happy, singing mountain songs and leading the only remaining 31,000 men and horses in his hand to cross the mountains of Shandong and rush to the water of Shandong.

After Dayu ruled the water, according to the direction of the mountains and rivers, the world is, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Henan, Hebei, Yan, Yong, Liang Kyushu, Shandong has Yanzhou and Qingzhou in Kyushu. Qingzhou is also one of the earliest cities in China with cultural relics, with a history of more than 7,000 years of development and more than 5,000 years of civilization, and it is the easternmost source of the Silk Road.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Dongyang City in Qingzhou was the border between Liu Song and Northern Wei. Historically, as long as the soldiers controlled Qingzhou, they controlled the entire northern and eastern parts of Shandong. It can also attack Jinan to the east and directly attack Jingshi and North Zhili, or threaten Yizhou to the south and reach the banks of the Yellow River.

Zuo Mengeng's troops felt fine all the way from the Huai River north to Qingzhou, but after arriving in Qingzhou, the atmosphere was not right, so he asked the kobold military division beside him: "You also tell me what's going on, doesn't it mean that the Ming army only occupied Laizhou and Dengzhou City?" Then why did the entire Qing army in Jiaodong run under the nose of Ben Shuai? And he didn't even care about the nearby cities, and all of them gathered in Qingzhou City, and Ben Shuai seemed to have a feeling that danger was coming. ”

A kobold military advisor replied, "The marshal's premonition is not very good, but his judgment is extremely accurate. Zuo Mengeng said: "You mean that I am really going to die?" The kobold military master said, "That can't be, this book is still growing." Zuo Mengeng scolded: "Does it have a fart relationship with me?" I'm not the protagonist, but I'm the one the author hates. ”

The dog-headed military advisor said: "I don't say the same thing as you, I said that the marshal's judgment is accurate, because there is really a situation around here, you see, as soon as we enter the boundary of Qingzhou, although there is no team in the county, we have not seen the Ming army, but the cities are in order." It is easy to understand that we can't see our team, those grandsons have already run to Qingzhou City, but those county towns can still be so orderly, which can only show one possibility - these places have been secretly taken over by the Ming army. ”

Zuo Mengeng scratched his head and said, "But where is the Ming army?" The dog-headed military advisor said: "Jinyi Wei, the underground party!" "Oh, Jinyiwei, then arrest them all!" "Dashuai, everyone is hiding in the dark, where can we find it?" Zuo Mengeng said again: "Then kill all the people in the county." The kobold military advisor said, "This matter is too big, I'm afraid you have to ask for instructions first, but when you come back, I'm afraid the battle has already begun." "Let's look for books

Zuo Mengeng asked again: "Then what should I do?" You can't let them go around inciting and shooting black guns. The dog-headed military advisor said, "Aren't there still so many troops in this city who have fled back from Jiaodong?" You strictly ordered them to garrison all the county seats, and those who escaped were to be killed, especially Changyi County, the main road from Jiaodong to here, where enough troops must be stationed. ”

Zuo Mengeng asked, "Why?" The kobold military advisor replied: "There is our outpost, if the signs are wrong, we can escape in time!" Zuo Mengeng shook his head and said: "The order given by the regent to Ben Shuai is also what you just said, once you retreat, you will be beheaded." The dog-headed military advisor shrank his neck and said, "Oh, that little one was farting just now." Zuo Mengeng said: "You are farting, but the taste is still very good for Ben Shuai's taste." ”

A few days later, when someone from the troops sent to Changyi County came back, Zuo Mengeng asked, "Why did you come back?" The people replied in embarrassment: "Don't kill us, Dashuai, we'll just come back to report a message." ”

Zuo Mengeng laughed playfully: "Why did I kill you when I reported the news?" Have the rest of the troops arrived in Changyi? The man said, "Not yet." Zuo Mengeng asked: "Why is it so slow?" When will they arrive? ”

The visitor said, "They will never arrive, they are all clicked." Zuo Mengeng stood up as soon as he heard this: "Who clicked?" The person replied: "Ming army." Zuo Mengeng asked again: "How many Ming troops came?" The visitor replied, "Not much, only 100,000." "How Zuo Mengeng was so frightened that let's not talk about it for the time being, the Qing army that went to Changyi County was really ambushed, although the number of Ming troops was not 100,000, but it was really a lot. Among them, there were 10,000 people from Li Yuanyin's department, 10,000 people from Zheng Chenggong's department, and all 3,000 Western soldiers. Moreover, at this time, there were still rebel armies in the Jiaodong area that were reorganized after the Battle of Asan, with a number of nearly 50,000.

Although the rebel army did not fight with the main force of the Ming army, the harassment of the Qing army along the way definitely made this group of enemies feel what it was to be heard. Zuo Mengeng didn't have time to cry, because Moscow didn't believe in tears, and because of the large number of the legendary Ming army. So much so that he retracted his previous order and urgently ordered all the nearby defenders to move closer to him, and all of them shrank into the corner of Qingzhou City to resist stubbornly.

Li Yuanyin and Zheng Chenggong did not disappoint him, and within a few days they gathered under the city of Qingzhou. However, after seeing the actual strength of the Ming army, Zuo Mengeng became happy: "Hehe, catch those soldiers who escaped and came back, how can they check the number?" The Ming army was obviously only more than 20,000 people, but it turned into 100,000 in their mouths. The dog-headed military advisor also chimed in: "Trouble the hearts of the army, it should be cut off." Zuo Mengeng also said: "Yes, pull it out and cut it all." Damn it, just 20,000 Ming troops, it turned out that Ben Shuai didn't sleep for several nights! Ben Shuai will go back to make up for sleep first, this little enemy, you just keep an eye on it! ”

Zuo Mengeng didn't sleep for several nights because he was worried about the 100,000 army, but when the Ming army came, he went back to sleep with confidence. As a result, although his heart was put down, the environment was too noisy, and Zuo Mengeng couldn't sleep at all. "Why is the city so lively? Can't you be quieter? Zuo Menggeng, who couldn't sleep, shouted angrily. The dog-headed military division came and said to him: "Great handsome, this group of Ming troops is not ordinary, they are all equipped with muskets and cannons!" ”
