In October, there was a torrential rain, the river ditch swelled, and the road was muddy and difficult to navigate. Birds escape into their nests, and animals dwell in caves. Naturally, the people on the ground also shrank into their houses.

The only thing that doesn't do that is probably the military.

It was raining in Jizhen, but the Qing army did not stop moving. Under the order of Dolgon, the cavalry from all sides rushed out, and in the heavy rain, they also drove the people of Cangtou to gather in Jizhen with the grain and rice obtained from the grass and grain from all over the place.

The Qing army's battles have always been cruel, and although the logistical baggage is important, few of them completely pin their hopes on the rear, and it has become the instinct of almost every Qing soldier who enters the customs to feed the enemy. What's more, in such a grassy valley, you can also plunder countless gold, silver, jewelry, slaves and beautiful maids.

In the core area of the Jingshi, in the villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles centered on Jizhen, a year after the last Abatai invasion, the land of the Ming Dynasty has grown a rich population like a highly resilient crop, allowing the invading slaves to plunder.

Truckloads of gold and silver silk were transported into the city of Jizhen, and pairs of Ming people who were connected by ropes were dragged into the shacks of Jizhen as slaves like cattle, waiting to return to Liaodong and become slaves who were forever for Jiannu and ravaged the land and even the cattle.

Even in the midst of a torrential rain, the lightly armed Manchu generals laughed and laughed, and then bathed in the hot water burned by the newly looted slaves. The Qing army, which successively broke through several state capitals in Beijing, was highly ambitious, and each shared the gains.

But there was silence in the camp of the regent located in the general military palace of Jizhen, which was the core of the Qing Kingdom that was urgently called by Dolgon, one was Prince Yu Duoduo and the other was Azig, King of Wuyingjun.

This silence stems from two things that the regent Dolgon has a headache for. Merely. The second thing was because the first thing was stabbed out in secrecy, making his head as big as a fight.

Nature. It can also be seen that this matter is very serious.

"Can the leak be clarified?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice, looking at the exhausted Dodor. Although I was a little unbearable in my heart, I suppressed my annoying eagerness to prevent myself from making the wrong choice.

Duoduo did not live up to Dorgon's expectations, pinched the back of his hand to boost his energy, and then rubbed his drowsy brain quite relaxedly, and said: "Back to the regent, I secretly arrested a few people in the camp, and I checked back one clue after another, and finally asked about them. The people who spread the news were all generals of the country who had been friends with Nazu Dashou. It can be learned from the news of Chen Yan's fall from the horse that was sent back by the joint Jingshi investigation, and this information is probably from Guan Ning and Wu Sangui. That Chen Yan once asked Wu Sangui to bribe Wu Sangui but failed, and few people in the Ming Kingdom knew about it. ”

When Azig heard Duoduo's words, his face immediately turned furious: "This Nikan is so bold that he dares to betray my Qing Dynasty." Fourteenth brother, I'm going to slaughter that Wu Sangui! ”

"Brother Twelve! What to call for excitement! Have we decided to do it? Reckless, don't say whether Wu Sangui wants to kill or not, or if you want to kill, aren't you startling the snake? Dorgon glared. Suddenly, Azig's originally angry and domineering expression calmed down suddenly.

The news of Wu Sangui is unexpected, and it is reasonable. Guan Ningjun has always been a wall-to-wall grass, if it weren't for the good cooperation between the two brothers, they used Tang Tong's subordinates to kill him. This Guan Ning army will not fall to my Qing Dynasty. But now is the time to employ people, and since they have been used, there is no chance for suspicious people not to use them. It's good to be a good student, and pay more attention to it. Dorgon looked helpless. Recently, he desperately ordered all the troops and horses to go out to fight the grass valley, and accumulated some more military funds before the Ming people reacted. for. is also worried that Wu Sangui will run back to Shanhaiguan and recapture the defense line of the Great Wall like his ancestor Dashou.

If that's the case, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is really a big loss, not to mention how to do the next thing in the Ming Dynasty, and fight the Ming Kingdom to survive and not to die, it is difficult to say that all must go back.

Duoduo's expression darkened, and he was puzzled: "This Nanban is obviously suspicious of the monarch and ministers, and the country's situation is declining day by day, and the good ministers and generals are either dead or deposed by Chongzhen himself." Why did such a capable crown prince suddenly appear? ”

Azig also sighed: "The Zhenghuang Flag is the top of our Eight Banners." Tan Tai's character and ability are not to mention, Najia Lazhang Jingguo Xin'a is a capable person, but in my Daqing hinterland, he is ...... was also repulsed, this crown prince of the Ming Kingdom, is he really able to fight like this? ”

What these three people said was nothing else, that is, Zhu Cihong's big victory in the Weining camp a while ago, and only about 500 heads fell in the Royal Guards Legion in the first battle. But this is a rout, not a siege and annihilation battle, and the actual capture is of course more than only the head cutoff. Of the more than 5,000 people who attacked in the Yellow Banner, only 2,000 people fled back to Shenyang with all their tails, and 3,000 were either lightly injured and captured, or they fled to the wilderness and could not be found to return to the city to fight for a while.

Not to mention the blue flag of the Han army that was not looked at by a few people.

If Tong Tulai knew about this section, his eyes would be cloudy: Uncle Jianzhou, I have also thrown my head and spilled my blood.

It's a pity that the three of Dolgon only value the positive yellow flag. But even if the strongest Zhenghuang Banner of the Eight Banners was defeated in such a battle, the backbone could be regarded as discounted.

As for the matter that Dolgon was worried about and asked Dordo to investigate closely, it was natural that the details of the battle of the Weining battalion had begun to circulate among the army that went out on the expedition.

Dolgon ordered the blockade of this matter as soon as possible.

But the news still spread inexplicably in the army, causing morale to fall. Except for the cavalry that had returned from outside from Grass Valley, the entire Thistle Town was in a slight panic. So much so that this information was quickly heard by the Jinyi Guard, and then appeared in Luo Yangxing's hands and sent to the Jinluan Palace. assisted Chen Yongfu and let Chen Yan fall off the horse.

"Whether you can fight or not, after all, Zhu Cihong is avoiding us now, and it is difficult to get out if you want to use your strength." Dorgon interrupted the two of them and said, "I know the situation is difficult. Originally, we wanted to encircle Wei to save Zhao and force Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom, to return to China. When the time comes, the new army will resist the tired army that has returned thousands of miles to help. Unexpectedly, this Zhu Cihong is a powerful master, and he actually went out and hit the edge of Shengjing. Looking at it this way, Sheng Jing is really dangerous. Brothers, think about how to do it! ”

Dolgon's expression was solemn, this time, Zhu Cihong's move was too sharp. (To be continued.) )
