Chapter 448
Liang's army was moving very quickly. After He Luohui entered Hebei, the Red Horse Army immediately retreated south.
Although 30,000 Qing cavalry returned to Hebei, it was not easy to block 6,000 Red-prepared Horse Army on the plain.
Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi showed their faces under the city of Beijing. They were driven out of the city by cavalrymen, and immediately turned back south and retreated into northern Henan before Dorgon returned to Hebei.
At this time, on the Mengjin floating bridge, the Liang army in the brigade carried baggage and crossed the river.
Gao Huan stood at the ferry and looked back at Hebei, saying to everyone: "Dorgon was careless this time and was disturbed by his vassal. If he could not stabilize the situation, as long as he missed this year's winter, then his vassal will fight back in the coming year!"
Gao Huan received 20 million taels of silver in Nanjing, 5 million taels for the operation of the imperial court, and 15 million taels, which can be used as military expenditure.
As long as the Qing army did not take advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River to attack him, with this money, Gao Huan could recruit and integrate 500,000 troops before next winter.
In this way, next winter, it would not be the Qing army heading south, but Gao Huan launched a large-scale counterattack.
If Gao Huan is anxious, he can counterattack Hebei next year. If he is stable, he will continue to fight against March next winter and buy another year for the army to train and build equipment. Then, if Gao Huan does not need to fight, the Qing army will have to leave the custody itself.
"Dorgon was careless for a moment, but he didn't expect the vassal lord to send cavalry into Hebei!" Song Xiance smiled and said, "Now there are only two months left before the winter begins. I think it's difficult for Dorgon to stabilize Hebei. I guess he will miss this winter!"
The Qing army had the advantage of cavalry, which made Dorgon think inertially? He thought that the Liang army would not dare to enter the Hebei Plain? But he ignored the nearly 7,000 horse army under Gao Huan.
The Liang army's infantry did not dare to go deep into Hebei, but the six thousand horse army took advantage of the emptiness of Hebei? But they could gallop on the Hebei Plain.
After the Liang cavalry entered Hebei and spread Gao Huan's letter to the military and civilians of Hebei, Gao Huan had received letters from nearly a hundred Qing Han officials.
Seeing that the Liang army approached the city of Beijing, these people mistakenly thought that Gao Huan was going to launch a large-scale northern expedition and were worried about being liquidated. So they wrote letters to Gao Huan, explaining that they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty due to the situation. They did not sincerely serve the Tartars and were willing to serve the Liang army. They strive to make up for their merits.
Now there are not only rebel prefectures and counties in Hebei? There are also many rebel troops.
Gao Huan also retained a large army in northern Henan and continued to maintain his influence. Dorgon may find it difficult to stabilize Hebei easily, and he will most likely miss this winter.
Gao Huan was quite optimistic, but he still reminded everyone: "You can't be careless! With Dorgon's eyes, I must know that this winter is the key. If he can't grasp it, then the offense and defense will be easier! This vassal thought that Dorgon was very likely to jump over the wall and make a desperate bet? All divisions cannot relax their vigilance."
Everyone nodded, "Don't worry, lord! The Yellow River defense line? We have been operating for nearly two years? Are the Tartars really brave enough to come? He will definitely be bleeding!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly and said to Gao Youwen: "Our previous works have never been able to penetrate the Qing Dynasty and have difficulty in permeating the high-level leaders of the Qing Dynasty. This time, many Han officials secretly wrote letters to our vassal. The Military Information Department can select some people and develop them into our works!"
Gao Youwen hurriedly said, "I will send you a mini-worker to Hebei, contact them, and collect the movements of the Qing Dynasty for the vassal lords."
Gao Huan escaped from his arms and handed it to Gao Youwen, "This person can use it!"
Gao Youwen took it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Feng Quan!"
Feng Quan was a tycoon of the eunuch party. After the Qing army entered the pass, he shamelessly went to Beijing to seek official positions. He was appointed as a Grand Secretary by the Qing Dynasty and recruited many eunuch party members for the Qing Dynasty.
Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the eunuch party was expelled from the court, which suppressed the Donglin party for more than ten years and had no chance to turn over.
Now, this group of people is divided into two waves. One is called by the boss Feng Quan, and went to Beijing to serve the Qing Dynasty. The other is going south to run for official positions. Following the former eunuch party Gao Youcai, he controls the Nanjing court.
Gao Youwen frowned. He didn't like eunuchs, but he had to admit, "If this person can become our detailed work, he will undoubtedly obtain many secrets for us!"
At this time, everyone was talking, and Yang Yan ran over, "Master! Most of the army has passed, let's cross the river too!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly, pulled the reins of the horse, and said loudly: "Cross the river!"
The group of people left the pier, hurriedly climbed the pontoon bridge, and crossed the river with horses' hooves.
Taihang Mountain.
While Gao Huan was carrying the soldiers and civilians across the river, a large number of liberated flag slaves and Hebei rebels were also turning into the mountains.
Gao Huan sealed the leaders of forty-eight rebels in one breath, asking them to establish a village in the Taihang Mountains, with the intention of restraining the Qing army.
Nearly a thousand of these rebels, and more than a hundred of them were the "high" flag and received Gao Huan's funding.
At this time, the people of Hebei who fled into the Taihang Mountains chose to seize dangerous terrain and cut down trees to build a mountain village, which seriously threatened the rule of the Qing army.
Kaifeng Prefecture, on the edge of the Yellow River.
Chen Yongfu led a large number of Liang troops, as well as the people in Fengqiu and other places to retreat to the south bank through the floating bridge.
At this time, a sound of horse hooves came, and a large number of Qing troops rolled in and arrived on the edge of the Yellow River.
Along the way, the flag farms along the way were burned down and the flag slaves were released. The Liang army also carried a large number of people across the river, destroying the flag slave economy of the Qing Dynasty in Hebei.
After the Qing army occupied Hebei, the Eight Banners captured land and obtained a large amount of land. To generate profits, people had to cultivate them.
The fleeing of the banner slaves is equivalent to cutting off the firewood from the cauldron, which makes the Eight Banners occupy a vast field but cannot obtain profits, thereby weakening the war potential of the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon rode a horse to stand by the river. When he saw Liang army on the other side, he lit a fire and burned the floating bridge. His face was gloomy.
Although Dorgon had foreseen that Gao Huan might retreat to Henan and let him punch the air before returning to Hedong, he was prepared for this, but Gao Huan did this and still made him furious.
"Go to Daming Mansion!" Dorgon glanced at the burned floating bridge, his black face pulled the reins.
Daming Prefecture, Puyang County.
Hauge sat in the festival hall and looked at a letter sent by Jirgalang and asked someone to quickly send it.
At this time, Obai came in with a gloomy face, "Prince, Dorgon is here!"
Haoge was a little scared inside. He hurriedly burned the letter, then forced himself to cheer up, took a helmet from the shelf, took a deep breath, "Follow me to welcome the Regent!"
On the outskirts of Puyang, Haoge led a group of soldiers and generals to stand outside the city gate. Soon, a large group of Qing cavalry came from the field.
At this time, Dorgon rode his horse to the front of the city gate, and Haoge and others quickly knelt down, "Regent!"
Dorgon narrowed his eyes and looked down at Haoge without any concealing his murderous intent. He suddenly shouted, "Come on! Take Haoge down for me!"
A group of white-armored soldiers immediately stepped forward to take Haoge. Oboi and others immediately stood up, blocked Haoge's voice, and roared loudly, "Who dares!"
Dorgon was furious, "Haoge lost his troops and insulted the country. Do you defend him? Do you want to rebel?"
When Haoge heard the words, he walked up and said in a deep voice: "Regent, I am indeed defeated this time. However, the reason why I am defeated is related to the Regent's insistence on changing the strategy of the former emperor and entering the pass in advance. If the Regent can follow the order of the former emperor and wait until the Ming Dynasty destroys the Ming Dynasty, then enter the pass and break through, the situation in the world is that our court and Can Ming attack the thieves. Now Chuang and Ming fight together to attack the Qing Dynasty. The so-called two fists cannot defeat four hands. How can I not defeat this big strategic mistake?"
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. Haoge, a reckless man, did not have such a sophistry talent, and most of the time someone gave him advice and came up with such a set of rhetoric.
Now Hebei is in chaos and people are shaken. The internal thoughts of the Eight Banners have also split, which makes Dorgon furious and very annoyed.
"I am talking nonsense, I am incompetent, but I am aroused by the Qing Dynasty, but I have a problem with my strategy! I am invincible in Hedong, but you are defeated and you dare to argue." Dorgon shouted angrily: "Prepare it! Who dares to resist? Just rectify the Dharma on the spot!"
When Oboi and others heard the words, they did not give in and still protected Haoge.
Seeing that the fight was about to fight, Haoge walked forward and said to Oboi and others: "Don't be impulsive, there will be a prejudice at the meeting of the Prince and Ministers of the Political Consultative Conference!"
