Chapter Twenty-Six: Mentoring with Li Dingguo
Dolgon looked at Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and couldn't come up with a good plan, he just looked at the two provinces of Shanxi and Henan on the map, he didn't feel good at all, Zhang Biwu occupied the heart of the Central Plains, which can be said to be a direct threat to the safety of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
I thought that I could recapture Shanxi and give Shanxi to Zhang Biwu for the time being, but now Zhang Biwu has firmly grasped Shanxi! What about the capture of Liangguang? What a loss outweighs the loss!
It's turned out that this is how you get upset, and no amount of frustration you can get.
Dolgon asked, "Then do I want to move my troops to kill Zhang Biwu with all my might?" After all, Zhang Biwu is the strongest opponent of our Qing Dynasty! Hong Chengchou immediately objected: "Imperial Father Regent, this is absolutely unacceptable!" ”
Dolgon stared at Hong Chengchou and asked, "Oh! You say this is not a good thing, why do you want to? Nine Elders, please explain! ”
Hong Chengchou said truthfully: "The regent of the imperial father, now Sun Kewang is a fool in order to keep his power, and even more in order to control Emperor Yongli, he let all the anti-Qing forces issue the edict of Yongli, so that the various forces under the banner of Nanming are to quickly send troops to confront our Qing Dynasty, for this reason, what we can do is to oppose the Qing forces, if they really send troops, we will exterminate them!" This is a great opportunity! ”
"Of course, if we gather all our strength to eliminate Zhang Biwu, all the other forces will take the opportunity to grow stronger! Rather, it would pose a great threat to our rule! And Zhang Biwu can't be eliminated in a short period of time, this is the key to the success or failure of the matter, and it is also the reason why we can't go all out to destroy Zhang Biwu first! ”
When Dolgon heard this, he thought that Hong Chengchou was right, so he said, "Yes! That's what I thought about too. But I'm not reconciled! What an unwillingness! That's how Zhang Biwu got his will! Alas! I knew that I wouldn't have broken the strategy of the two Guangsui Yongli as I had known. Like. Shanxi doesn't say that all of it can be saved, at least half of Shanxi can be saved! ”
Dolgon's words are very clear, after all, it was Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou who offered this plan at the beginning, and now that the plan has failed, Dolgon did not blame them in the open, but in fact, he used this soft means to spur them on, so that they could come up with a good plan again.
Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou were naturally thinking, what if they didn't want to?
Dorgon looked at them. It's just to use a trick to provoke, but you can't rush too much! He asked Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou to think about it carefully and think about it in detail, so Dolgon said, "Okay! Think about it! After all, I also received a Tang newspaper, which said that Zheng Chenggong and Shi Kefa had sent troops. Li Dingguo directly attacked Baise, and He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others also began to send troops. I'm going to suppress them! At the same time, pay me attention to what Zhang Biwu's dynamics are like! ”
Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou were relieved, because listening to Dolgon say this was tantamount to giving them time to come up with a good plan.
The rest, Dolgon, was not afraid at all. In his heart, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Biwu are the most worried. It's just that Dolgon hasn't learned how powerful Li Dingguo is!
Dolgon is most concerned about Zhang Biwu's dynamics. Now Zhang Biwu is handing over the defense of Huguang to the Dashun army, and he has ceded Huguang to the Dashun army.
At the same time, he made Huang Qi the main general and Xuan Jianhao as the military advisor, and led 10,000 horses to help Li Dingguo to achieve great success.
Zhang Biwu had very high hopes for this, and he instructed Huang Qi and Xuan Jianhao that no matter what, they would win this battle.
At the same time, Zhang Biwu remembered the Guangxi wolf soldiers, when he led the army to rescue the besieged Ming army in the Songjin War, he had contact with the Guangxi wolf soldiers, and they said that as long as Zhang Biwu had a request, they would help Zhang Biwu again! Yes! Cen Yong and others are all people who keep their promises and will keep their promises.
Now is the best time to do it! If you haven't opened your mouth to them, when? You have to give them a very good fortune, after all, you ask people to fight, and you don't have money, how can you drive them to die? Can't be as stupid as Chongzhen, who wants others to sell his life and is reluctant to give money to others, so how can he do it?
Zhang Biwu returned to Henan, he had to wait for the news of Li Dingguo's Northern Expedition, and also hoped that Huang Qi and others could make great contributions. In fact, Zhang Biwu really wanted to set off on his own, but how to say it, Zhang Biwu also had to wait for Henan and the newly conquered Shanxi land, and he also needed to consolidate.
Li Dingguo was actively training elephants, soldiers and horses, and making armor, although he heard that the 10,000 horses sent by Zhang Biwu had been stationed in Guizhou and had joined him. But he thought that it was not the time to send troops, so he let Zhang Biwu's 10,000 men wait first.
Li Dingguo made a big noise to send troops, but he didn't move the troops because the thunder was loud and the rain was small. This time, on the contrary, the Qing army couldn't hold back.
Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, went out of the river pool from Guilin, attacked Guizhou, and left an army in Liuzhou as a rear division, and at the same time, the general continued to Shungong Shen Yongzhong stationed in Yuanzhou to choke the door. Shi Guoan was promoted to the governor of Guangxi, Ma Xiong was the general soldier of the left wing, and Quanjie was the general army of the right wing, guarding Nanning, Qingyuan, and Wuzhou.
Similarly, Wu Sangui also set out from Shu, in order to attack from both sides and eliminate Li Dingguo and others. They also know that in order to keep his power, Sun Kewang has already ordered the Ming army to send troops from all over the country, don't look at Li Dingguo's temporary troops, he is actively preparing for war, and there are 10,000 horses of Zhang Biwu in Huguang, if they cooperate, they can shake the overall situation.
This is the reason why the Qing army rushed to Li Dingguo to send troops.
Li Dingguo is waiting for the Qing soldiers to attack! Because in this case, everyone is facing the moment of life and death, and it is impossible for each legion to fight separately, they can twist into a rope and form a huge fist! You can wipe out the Qing army!
The Northern Route Army, with Liu Wenxiu as the main general and Bai Wenxuan and Wang Fuchen as deputy generals, attacked Sichuan; And take Huguang to meet with Huang Qi's 10,000 horses, and let He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun and others join him together, and everyone fights in Huguang, because the road to Huguang is broken, Kong Youde and others, if they want to attack Yunnan, they still have some concerns.
Before setting out on the expedition, Li Dingguo promulgated five conventions: no killing, no adultery, no looting, no slaughtering cattle, and no arson.
Li Dingguo took Feng Shuangli out of Huguang and Huang Qibu to achieve a rendezvous, and Li Dingguo sent Ma Jinzhong to break Yuanzhou and march to Wugang. Shen Yongzhong's situation became difficult, and he kept asking for help, in which case Kong Youde sent troops to support him, and Kong Youde also gave up the attack on Guizhou.
Later, Shen Yongzhong couldn't support it, so he had to retreat all the way and surrender to the land of Xiangtan. He also became a lone army. I even heard that the Dashun army had moved south from Hubei and wanted to form a joint attack on the Manchus with Li Dingguo.
Kong Youde went all the way north, he thought Shen Yongzhong was really useless! actually lost the soil, so that Li Dingguo was defeated so much! He had to teach Li Dingguo a good lesson.
Of course, Kong Youde also knows that Baise, Hechi and other places are guarded by people, and Li Dingguo cannot be allowed to break through, as long as Guangxi is not lost, if you want to recover, it will be an easy task.
Li Dingguo met with Huang Qi and Xuan Jianhao, he stepped forward to hold Huang Qi's hand and said, "General Huang, it's been a long time!" Ha Lu Ha! I am so happy to meet the general today! ”
Huang Qi also smiled and said, "Isn't it? General Ning Yu, Master Hou sent us here to help you make a great contribution! ”
Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Okay! Great! I just don't know what you want to do with us? Let's talk about your strategy! ”
Huang Qi looked at Xuan Jianhao, and Xuan Jianhao came forward to say: "The current situation is extremely favorable to us, I have contacted the wolf soldiers, Tusi Cen Yong expressed his willingness to help us, he is leading the wolf soldiers to move closer to us, what is there to be afraid of with such a new force?" ”
Li Dingguo understood and asked: "Cen Yong, are you the wolf soldiers recruited by the mighty Marquis when he went north to rescue Songjin in the past?" Toast is Cen Yong! The wolf soldiers are very strong in combat! It would be a great thing to get them! It's just that I don't know how many wolf soldiers are participating in the war! ”
Huang Qi stretched out a palm and said, "This number!" Li Dingguo asked: "Five? Five hundred? It can't be five thousand, right? ”
Huang Qi replied loudly: "Yes! General Ning Yu is exactly five thousand wolf soldiers! The Qing soldiers and the wolf soldiers fought each other when they were in Yuan Governor's division, and the Qing soldiers were afraid of the wolf soldiers! ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Okay! Since it was able to summon 5,000 wolf soldiers, it was commendable! ”
Xuan Jianhao said: "There is another important point! That is, the wolf soldiers have risen, which means that the people of Guangxi have risen up against the Tartars, and a huge wave of anti-Qing will be set off. There were not many Qing troops in Guangxi, because in order to cooperate with us, the lord had already marched eastward in Henan, greatly containing the Qing army. The people of Guangxi are fierce, and if the people from all over the country come together, they will be able to drive away the Qing army, and Guangxi will be restored! ”
"Good! I hope it is as Mr. expected! Li Dingguo was very happy and said, "Yes! As you said, in general, Guangxi is restored, and in the hands of our Han people, there are Shanxi and Henan of General Guoxiong, and most of Shaanxi and Huguang of Li Houye, and then Sun Kewang and I have Yunnan and Guizhou, and then Guangxi is restored. Almost half of the country has recovered! Like, the situation has changed dramatically, and it will be too good to be better! ”
He Tengjiao and Qu Shiyun also came, and when they heard what Xuan Jianhao said, they all nodded in approval!
He Tengjiao said: "There are not many defenders in Guilin, if we break through Guilin in one go, it will be possible!" Can't be delayed! If it is delayed, the Manchus will increase their troops in Guangxi, and then the situation will be unbearable for us! (To be continued......)
