Jinan Prefecture, Feicheng County.

In the lobby of the county seat, Emperor Hongxing, who was in a hurry and still didn't catch up with the decisive battle, was staring at Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi, Huang Degong, Li Chengdong, and Li Shiyuan, who had fought in the north and many times!

His soldiers only drove to Yunmeng Mountain, 20 miles north of the Guishan battlefield, late at night on the 24th.

It's not a little bit worse, it's a good scout cavalry!

Dolgon's scouts were placed all the way to the edge of Mount Tai, and they knew as soon as Zhu Cihong's army of 30,000 came out of Mount Tai.

Therefore, before Zhu Cihong's army ascended the heights of Yunmeng Mountain, Dolgon returned victorious with tears......

Zhu Cihong looked at Shi Kefa and asked quietly, "Inspector Shi, have you calculated the loss?" Can the ministries continue to fight? Qufu over there...... Can you hold it? ”

Emperor Zhu is not really concerned about the losses of a few warlords, because the defeated soldiers who retreated to Feicheng are not old or young. Although they all lost their armor and were embarrassed, as long as they were there...... Add some spears, firearms, armor or something, and send some silver to comfort the soul, they are all good officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

But the gains and losses of Qufu City are a big problem!

Because the matter of "Kong Lin Fighting" is the subject of Zhu Cihong's smearing of Dolgon and shorting the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a major theme.

Because of this theme, scholars all over the world have stood on the opposite side of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the market of the Great Qing Kingdom has fallen again and again. In the original history, the Qing Dynasty was "all the gentry returned to their hearts" at this time, and they wanted to "rule the world smoothly". But what has it become now? Even Shandong and Shanxi are uneven.

As a former veteran practitioner of the "speculation industry", Zhu Cihong knows too well what it means to "exhaust the profits" and "exhaust the benefits"?

If Dolgon and the Great Qing Kingdom want to stop the fall, they have to take Qufu, the source of the bearishness!

Take Qufu, whether it is Zunkong, who bowed three times and kowtowed, or really poured Confucius's fight, the story of "Kong Lin's inverted fight" is over.

At that time, the market of the Great Qing Kingdom will definitely rebound, no matter how sluggish the Great Qing Kingdom is, it will maintain a stand against the Southern Ming Dynasty, and also open the second largest official shop in China!

Therefore, after the defeat of Guishan, the gains and losses of Qufu became the key to whether the Qing Dynasty could stop falling and stabilize.

"Your Majesty, Minister, Minister......" Shi Kefa's tears fell as he spoke, and he looked distressed, "The ministers have already made a preliminary calculation, since the beginning of the retreat from Ziyang, the total number of troops has been reduced by more than 16,500 people, although there have been soldiers returning in the past few days, but the number of losses is probably not less than 15,000!" Vehicles, food, horses, artillery, and other things were all lost! There were less than 30,000 men and horses from all the tribes who fled to Feicheng, and half of them were bare-handed, and if they could not replenish the armor and baggage, the 30,000 people here would not be able to fight again...... Your Majesty, I'm afraid Qufu won't keep it! ”

Zhu Cihong's heart sank!

What is the situation of the defeated soldiers gathered in Feicheng, Zhu Cihong himself has seen it, and if he doesn't make up for it, he really can't fight.

Without these more than 30,000 people, Zhu Cihong only had two infantry divisions and two cavalry regiments left at hand, totaling more than 30,000 people.

On Dolgon's side, there were 80,000 to 100,000 troops on the battlefield of Turtle Mountain alone!

Zhu Cihong didn't dare to use the 30,000 people on hand to fight with Dolgon's 108,000 Nine Banner soldiers!

These 30,000 people are the Dinghai Divine Needle on the battlefield in Shandong, and if Zhu Cihong is defeated, he will have to lose to the south bank of the Huai River!

Therefore, the correct option in front of Emperor Zhu is to avoid a decisive battle...... If it drags on, even if Dolgon takes Qufu and breaks the "Konglin Inverted Fight" game, it must be resolutely delayed.

As long as the situation in Shandong can be maintained, the height of the rebound of the Great Qing State is limited...... Next, even if Shi Kefa continues to lose the battle, 15,000 or 6,000 for Dolgon's 4,000 or 5,000, and if he loses ten times or eight times, he will also be "defeated" by the Great Qing Kingdom!

Shi Kefa now took the initiative to say that Qufu did not defend it, I am afraid that this is the idea.

Zhu Cihong turned his attention to Gao Hongtu and Zuo Maodi.

"Your Majesty," Gao Hongtu stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed, and he looked scheming, "Although the ministers are defeated, as long as the overall situation in Shandong is not bad and they recuperate for a few months, they will be able to recover!" ”

When the time comes, we can go and defeat the battle again......

Zuo Maodi said: "Qufu is actually a strong city, as long as Yan Shenggong does not waver, there is no risk of falling, and what I am most afraid of now is ......"

Yes! There's also a hole in the field!

Zhu Cihong glanced at Shi Kefa, and complained in his heart: Why don't you let him evaluate Hedinghong?

Died of toil to defend Kong Lin...... What a wonderful thing! It can be buried in a grand manner, and it can also set an example for future generations!

Now what? In case this goods are dedicated to Qufu and become a traitor, it is Confucius's people who lose it!

"Your Majesty...... How about a trip to Qufu? Shi Kefa also knew that he was wrong, so he had to try to remedy it.

Zhu Cihong asked: "Can you do it?" ”

Huang Degong volunteered: "Your Majesty, the minister took 200 cavalry to escort Inspector Shi to Qufu...... The emperor only needs to go out of Feicheng and garrison Yunmeng Mountain to attract Dolgon's attention. ”

It is impossible for the army to go to Qufu, but as long as Zhu Cihong sends troops to attract Dolgon's attention, the 200 elite cavalry still has a great chance to break through.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Shi Kefa meaningfully, "Shi Shibo, Qufu can be lost, but Yan Shenggong must become an example for the people of the world!" ”

Shi Kefa stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Kong Yinzhi is loyal and will never insult the Kong family!" ”

"That's good!" Zhu Cihong said to Huang Degong again, "Give you 200 runners and 200 good horses...... In any case, we must ensure the safety of Inspector Shi! ”

"The minister commands, and the minister must save the superintendent at the cost of his life." When Huang Degong said this, he was thinking in his heart: As long as Shi Kefa is kept? Do you want Kong Yinzhi to do it?

......

Let's click, let's click, let's click......

The Qing Emperor Ama Dolgon was pulling abacus beads in a bright yellow tent at this time!

While pulling, tears welled up.

What a loss!

The year is not good, and it is easy to lose anything! Now there are still those who have won battles and lost them...... It's Dolgon.

In the first battle of Guishan, he killed 20,000 enemies (in fact, only 16,000), and lost 5,500 (this is the real number), if you count the previous losses along the canal, the Qing army's losses in the Shandong battlefield were nearly 8,000.

In other words, according to the data held by Dolgon, the exchange ratio between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties on the Shandong battlefield was 2.5 to 1...... I'm about to cry!

If such a victory continues, the Qing Kingdom will not last a few years before it will be victoriously destroyed...... But the problem is that the initiative to end the war is not in his hands!

He is now stationed in Ningyang County, just waiting for Zhu Cihong to come and sue for peace. The conditions are good to discuss, and Shandong can be bounded by the Daqing River - the Grand Canal; In Henan, the Qing Dynasty only needs Henan, Kaifeng, and Guide; The king of Shanxi withdrew; Shaanxi and Gansu retreated; Liaodong and Liaoxi were withdrawn by the Ming Dynasty. Donggu Gege was immediately sent to Zhu Cihong's line...... But the problem is that Zhu Cihong has no intention of peace talks at all!

A rush of footsteps suddenly sounded, and then Sukh Saha's voice said: "Huang Ama, the minion Sukh Saha has an urgent military situation!" ”

Dolgon hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it from his eyes, then put on a triumphant smile, "Come in!" ”

"Wow!" Suke Saha strode in, and saw that Dolgon was a thousand salutes, "Emperor Ama, the Ming army has left Feicheng and is coming to Yunmeng Mountain!" ”

What the?

Dolgon's heart is entangled, you Zhu Cihong is not finished yet...... If you don't come to make peace, forget it, and you actually order all the soldiers and horses to fight, what do you want to do? With so many people dying, how can you bear it?

"Humph! Look for death! "Dolgon's heart is dying, but that mouth is still dead! Otherwise, you have to let the people below look down on you - if you win a battle or lose something, you can't talk nonsense with the people below.

"Beat the drums, gather the generals...... "Dolgon, "I will fight to the death with the Southern Army!" ”
