"Wu Sangui is too bullying!"

"The Southern Barbarians are deliberately provoking!"

"Prince, they are making ground on Tai Sui Tai Shang."

"Yes, tigers don't show their power, and they even think we are sick cats."

"Have Wu Sangui forgotten that he was killed by us in a panic under Yizhou City?"

"Just kill and take back western Liaoning!"

"Break Shanhaiguan and enter Beijing!"

The news of the Ming army raiding Zhenyuan Fort on Dadao returned to Heishan City on the west bank of the Liao River. The generals of the blue flag immediately furious and all shouted to kill back immediately.

Jirgalang sat there, his face as ugly as he looked. But he had not lost his mind yet. Wu Sangui was just a defeated general, so why did he dare to send troops to invade suddenly?

Things are a bit abnormal.

If he had his previous temper, he would definitely send troops immediately without saying a word. However, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shengjing has repeatedly sent orders, so that he could not provoke border disputes no matter what. Even if the Ming army provoked, he would give in three points.

Dorgon wrote to Jirgalang, telling him that the situation in the Qing Dynasty is extremely unfavorable. After suffering more than a year of rampage in Liaodong by Liu Jiye, various serious consequences have been revealed. The loss of one million people, the tens of thousands of people from the Han army flag and the black flag were almost gone, and even the surrounding areas of Shengjing were plundered.

The Chu army's invasion along the coast led to the loss of countless farmland and grain.

The Qing Dynasty was facing the most difficult situation, with food shortages and a sharp reduction in livestock. There are also many internal contradictions now. Even the Jurchens in the Haixi Province, Mongolia in the South of the Desert, and other forces are also in a state of stagnation.

Under such circumstances, I would never dare to go to war with the Ming army again.

Dorgon wrote a letter to tell Jiergalang that he must not go to war with the Ming army now, and that he must try his best to maintain the current situation and plan to carry out trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Sitting as the prince guarding the front line on the west bank of the Liao River, Jirgalang was also shocked by the various tragic situations in Liaoshen that Dorgon mentioned.

Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui.

Jirgalang frowned. He was angry at the enemy general who had cut off his arm. The losses he had suffered also made him more alert to this Ming general.

When Wu Sangui attacked, he suffered more than a thousand soldiers and broke his arm. Later, he took advantage of the situation to go north to break the siege of Jinzhou and besiege Yizhou. He still remembers the scene at that time, and the city of Jinzhou was almost broken.

To be honest, he still admitted that Wu Sangui was a very powerful general.

Is this attack in Zhenyuan Fort a prelude to another large-scale attack? The most important thing is whether this is just a small conflict on the border, or a long-planned conspiracy. Is this what Wu Sangui means alone, or is the Southern Dynasties preparing to start a war?

Liu Jun, a general of the Southern Dynasty, was suddenly assassinated a few years ago, and then the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty died suddenly. There are rumors that Chongzhen and Liu Jun were both assassins sent by their Qing Dynasty. At that time, the news reached the Qing Dynasty, and the whole people of Shengjing were still very nervous. They all thought that this was an excuse for the war that the Ming people took the opportunity to find, and were preparing to take the opportunity to reopen the war.

Fortunately, the matter calmed down later, and the Ming Dynasty did not focus on this issue.

In the past six months, there have been constant news about the Ming Dynasty. I heard that Liu Jiye, the Southern Dynasty who was in power in the Southern Dynasty, was now the Southern Dynasty's general who once came to the city of Shengjing and killed their emperors, is now the regent minister of the Southern Dynasty.

It was heard that Liu Jiye is now in charge of the national affairs of the Southern Dynasty and is vigorously laying off troops and eliminating dissidents. Several towns of troops outside the Southern Dynasty were merged into military regions outside the pass, while Wu Sangui was removed from the position of admiral of Liaoxi. Only the position of admiral of Guangning was left, and his uncle, Zu Dashou, was transferred to the capital, and Jinzhou Town was banned and merged.

"Tell me about the Ming army's invasion again!"

Jiergalang listened to the detailed story from beginning to end. It was very simple. On New Year's Eve, Wu Sangui suddenly led a large army to the border Zhenyuan Fort, surrounded the castle, and then asked the Qing army in the castle to hand over a team of patrol soldiers from Panshan Fort. At Zhenyuan Fort, the Qing army said that he had never captured the Ming army in Panshan Fort at all. This must have been a misunderstanding, but the Ming army immediately launched an attack without any hesitation.

The Ming army took a very short time to capture a solid fortress. Not only did they bring tens of thousands of troops, but they also used several cannons. After breaking through Zhenyuan Fort, they slaughtered over 200 Qing troops in the city, and then rushed to the east to reach several Qing army castles in the east. But this time, it was different from when he was in Zhenyuan Fort. Wu Sangui attacked several castles, but after only half a day of attack, he took the initiative to withdraw and finally sent troops to occupy Zhenyuan Fort.

The more I think about Jirgalang, the clearer it feels.

Wu Sangui came prepared.

Even if a team of patrolling the Ming army in Panshan Fort was missing, Wu Sangui's normal behavior should not be like this, with his soldiers suddenly crossing the border and even carrying cannons, and finally slaughtered Zhenyuan Fort.

The patrol of the Ming army in Panshan Fort was just an excuse, an excuse for invasion.

Even if the Ming army is really missing, under normal circumstances, people will be sent to negotiate first. It should never be like this that the army will raid and slaughter the fort.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that this should not be the plan of the Ming army to start a full war. Because during this period, the Southern Dynasty had reported that it had merged Liaodong in western and Liaodong into a military region, abolished Jinzhou Town, and transferred Denglai to the Central Plains Military Region.

If the Southern Dynasty really wanted to start another war, how could it be that the two towns of troops were reduced at this time?

Moreover, now is not a good time to start a war. Now is the cold winter season. When the war begins, the navy of the Southern Dynasties will not be able to invest, and even the soldiers and horses in Liaodong will find it difficult to cooperate in the battle.

Other food and wages are also extremely unfavorable for transportation.

Based on all these things, Jirgalang believes that this will never be a sign of the war in the Southern Dynasties.

Especially after Wu Sangui raided Zhenyuan Fort, he retreated under heavy rain.

"Is the prince's meaning just Wu Sangui's own provocation this time? But why?" Some generals were confused after hearing Jirgalang's analysis.

"In order to maintain his status." Someone calmed down and thought it through. "The Han people said that raising thieves was self-respecting. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a general who was guarding the north. When he was guarding Youzhou, he often deliberately provoked border provocations to increase his status."

"It makes sense to say this. Now Liu Jiye is in power. The governor of the Pass is Hou Xun. This person is a disciple of Liu Jiye's teacher Mei Zhihuan. Therefore, it can be said that he is a fellow disciple of Liu Jiye. I heard that his son is also very close to Liu Jiye. He is also a member of Fushe. The admiral outside the Pass is Qin Liangyu, and this person is also very close to Liu Jiye. His son and nephew are all under Liu Jiye's command. She serves as the admiral outside the Pass and the general of Ningyuan, and is also recommended by Liu Jiye."

"Wu Sangui moved to Guangning and was dismissed from his position as an admiral. His uncle was transferred to Beijing, and Jinzhou Town was also reorganized. Wu Sangui suddenly used the excuse to provoke border provocation, and his intention was very obvious."

"Even so. Then should we let Wu Sangui come to the door like this and swallow his anger?" Someone was dissatisfied.

"We can't be used by Wu Sangui."

Jirgalang's head hurts.

He found that even if he discovered the truth of the matter, he would definitely not help.

Fight or not? Fighting is certainly relieved, but it may lead to the discovery that the Qing Dynasty and the two countries started another war. However, Shengjing reminded him five times and repeatedly that he must not provoke a war, and the Qing Dynasty cannot afford to fight now.

But if you don’t fight, you can let Wu Sangui bully him like this. It’s a pity.

"If you pass the order, you will not be retaliated. You will not be allowed to attack. All the defenders west of the Liaohe River retreat to the castle to defend. I will repeat again. Without my personal order, you will not be retaliated."

The Qing generals looked at each other, but they were all from the Zhenglan Banner. Facing the orders of the banner owner, they did not dare to object and could only abide by them.

The generals retreated, Jirgalang sat there and sighed. The counselor beside him came over and whispered. "Master, let it be calm for a while, and take a step back and the sky is wide open. If we are fooled by Wu Sangui, if the Ming and Qing Dynasties really start the war again, then we will be at the forefront. Now our Qing Dynasty is full of conflicts. At this time, we must not be sold by Shengjing. If they come to see you and refuse to save you, or use a knife to kill people, then we will have no place to shout for justice."

Now among the major forces of the Qing Dynasty, the Blue Flag is the weakest and has to be guarded against.

"Send someone to report to Shengjing immediately and then send someone to contact the Chu army in Lushun. It doesn't matter to Wu Sangui. Now I can only expect Liu Jiye to be calm and not be used by Wu Sangui."

Beijing.

This New Year is the first New Year that Liu Jun celebrated in Beijing and the first New Year after the new emperor ascended the throne. He was busy for several days, inside and out, congratulating various courtesy ceremony in the court and reunion at home.

Before the New Year, Liu Daddy also brought Liu Jun's mother, two sisters, and his brother, sister-in-law and nephew into Beijing.

Liu Jun wished he could have a clone technique to deal with it one by one.

When it was the first day of the first lunar month, it was a little easier, but I received an urgent report from Guangning.

"Play the piano randomly."

After reading the report sent by Fu Shan, Liu Jun slapped the table with a palm.

"A clumsy lie." Liu Jun saw the hidden problem in this report at a glance, "He Wu Sangui really thinks everyone is a fool?"

The whole incident was full of too many flaws, and Liu Jun could see the truth hidden in the incident at a glance. He did not expect that Wu Sangui had such a mind and courage to provoke border provocations to resist his abolition of the Liaoxi Army.

“What should I do now?”

Although Wu Sangui's methods are clumsy and have too many flaws, it has to be said that this trick is very practical. In this way, if Liu Jun wants to continue to lay off Jinzhou Town and transfer Zu Dashou to Beijing, it will be somewhat unsuitable.

"Immediately send a letter to Governor Hou and Admiral Qin. The troops and horses of the towns outside the pass must be restrained. Without the order of the court, no one shall start the war easily. If Wu Sangui wants to fight, then let him fight. Other towns outside the pass will not be allowed to send troops to support him and let him fight."

Liu Jun looked angry. Wu Sangui's move really made him very upset. This kind of resistance made Liu Jun very angry. If the Qing army really attracted the battle, it would make many of Liu Jun's plans change.

"From now on, stop giving food and military pay to Jinzhou Town and Guangning Town. Don't give them a piece of silver dollar and a grain of food, and prohibit all military supplies. I want to see how hard Wu Sangui is!"

"Prince, what if the dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall?"

There is indeed this possibility.

But Liu Jun had no choice. Since Wu Sangui Zu Dashou had made this choice and he would not hesitate to provoke war in order to fight his orders, what is the point of Liu Jun's compromise? Today, he would not cut off Jinzhou Town and no longer transfer Zu Dashou to Beijing.

Then tomorrow Wu Sangui may taste the sweetness and threaten more. If he really thinks that he can do whatever he wants with 100,000 soldiers and horses, he would be very wrong.

"If that's the case, it's him seeking death!" (To be continued.)
