.However, if it were true that Emperor Hongguang was so idiotic, how could the elite Qing Dynasty went south be defeated by him? It was a total of more than 50,000 troops. It is said that Duoduo also surrendered 70,000 to 80,000 Han troops, that was a unit of more than 100,000 people, and defeated more than 100,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty were destroyed. If such an emperor was still idiotic, what was the Qing army defeated by him?

"In my opinion, Hongguang, who was the pseudo-Ming, was only considered to be lucky." Daishan, who had always looked down on the monarchy and ministers, was unwilling to praise the enemy and reluctantly responded.

"Luck? If it was once or twice, or luck, but second brother, how much did Hongguang do after ascending the throne? Capturing and beheading Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo and personally led troops to defeat the rebel Zuo Liangyu. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty did not see through this person. I thought that the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was killing each other. This time, Duoduo failed, so I suddenly woke up. The pseudo Ming Hongguang Emperor was probably preparing for this battle with my Qing Dynasty. He captured and killed Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, which was to eliminate the internal instability factors so that we could fight our army with all our might. Such a pseudo emperor who was determined, you actually said that he was lucky. Second brother, wake up. If my Qing Dynasty really retreated outside the pass, within a few years, this Hongguang could wipe out the domestic bandits. If the Central Plains returned to unification again, Second brother, do you think this pseudo emperor would still allow us people to be free and carefree outside the pass?"

Daishan fell silent. Abatai saw that Daishan was being told, and he was very anxious and said quickly: "Fourth brother, even if the false Ming Dynasty is not tolerated, how can the Ming people be compatible with us since Father Khan started his army? We have not only not exterminated the clan, but have become stronger and stronger."

"Brother Seven, that's the luck of our Manchus. When the Ming people were at their weakest, if we still returned to the outside world and watched the Central Plains be unified by the Han people. With the human and material resources of the Han people in the Central Plains, we can easily organize hundreds of thousands of troops to go outside the pass, and then Manchus will not escape the danger of extermination of the clan."

"The 14th brother is too alarmist." Abatai sneered.

"It's about the life and death of the whole Manchu. It's okay if you say I'm exaggerating. As long as this is possible, you have to be careful."

Dai Shan hesitated: "Fourth brother, but now we are full of energy and are seriously damaged. Can we still gain a foothold in the Central Plains?"

"Don't worry, in addition to the 20,000 Manchu elites, there are more than 100,000 Manchu children in the capital. My Manchu children, both men, women, young and old, can bend their bows and shoot arrows, and have marked farms. All Manchus don't have to worry about their livelihoods. Among these 100,000 Manchu children, at least more than 10,000 people can be selected as the escorts of the capital, and 20,000 Manchu elites can be sent out. As long as Shandong and Shanxi provinces are suppressed, the Qing Dynasty can completely use the army composed of the Mongols and Han people to fight the Ming army. At that time, the blood will only be the blood of the Han and Mongols, and Manchus can rest and rest. As long as there is ten years, I Manchus can become stronger again."

Dorgon's words revealed strong confidence. Daishan couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, Dorgon. I'll listen to you for the time being and won't reply to Manchuria."

When Dorgon was convinced by Dai Shan, he was overjoyed, but Abatai was very upset. Dorgon pressed and said, "Brother Seven, what do you say?"

Abatai said helplessly: "Since my 14th brother is so confident, of course I won't go back."

"Okay. Two brothers. Dorgon respects each other. This cup is for my future." Dorgon raised the cup. The three of them drank it in one gulp. They each showed a smile. But each had a completely different smile.

Back at the Duluo Raoyu County Prince's Mansion, Abatai saw that the mansion had sorted out a large bag of land and things. The various coated slaves were still nervously carrying all kinds of things to pack, as if they were going to take away the entire county prince's mansion. He waved impatiently: "Stop. Stop. Don't fix it."

"Ama. What's wrong? Didn't you say you're going back to Manchuria soon?" Two young men in their thirties came over. One of them asked Abatai. These two were the third son Boluo and the fourth son Yuele. Among the children of Abatai, the third son Boluo and the fourth son Yuele are both very brave and good at fighting. Although they are less than thirty years old, they have made many military achievements. They are currently in the status of Dorobel.

"That's a big deal. Dorgon convinced your second uncle in just a few words. He can't go back." Abatai said quietly.

Boluo and Yue Le looked at each other, and their eyes showed a hint of joy. Compared to living comfortably in Beijing, life in Manchuria is too difficult. Except for those who are older generations of relatives and those who are young and young and nobles who are growing up are not willing to return to Manchuria.

The upper class of the Qing Dynasty was still in a semi-slave society, and parents had the power to kill their children. They didn't have to go back to Manchuria, Boluo and Yue Le were happy, but they saw Abatai's face, but they didn't dare to show their joy. However, the rest of the slaves didn't have to go back to Manchuria, but they kept smiling.

Just the day after Dorgon convinced Daishandi, an order was passed down in the palace. Dorgon changed from his uncle to his uncle, and it seemed that it was not meaningful to add a word. Both of them were actually the same meaning, but the word "Emperor" undoubtedly showed the dignity of Dorgon's identity. Although everyone knew that this imperial edict was made by the empress dowager, not by the emperor of a few years old, no one dared to openly resist the edict. This made Jirgalang and his team very depressed. They originally wanted to pull Dorgon off, but they did not expect Dorgon's power to increase.

As Dorgon's status stabilized, the commotion caused by the failure of Dodo in Beijing subsided. Dorgon sent a large army to the Shandong battlefield again. This time they did not want to attack Nanming, but just wanted to temporarily stabilize Shandong.

In order to win over Daishan, the leader was chosen as Mandahai, the seventh son of Daishan. Mandahai was not very outstanding among Daishan's children. The eldest son Yuetuo, the second son Shuotuo, and the third son Sahazi all had much more achievements than Mandahai. Unfortunately, these people died in their prime at their forties, and the third son Sahazi was even more outstanding. His grandson Luke Dehun had been named the prince, but unfortunately he disappeared with the defeat of Duoduo, which led to Daishan's group being able to take the lead by Mandahai.

Except for Mandahai, Boluo, and Yue Le were both deputy commanders of the expedition this time. Together with a group of veterans, Shi Tingzhu, Bahana, Ma Guozhu, Sony..., led more than 20,000 elite Manchus and Mongolians, and marched towards Shandong in a mighty manner. Although the number of people was less than the last time Duoduo went to the expedition, it was not inferior to the generals who went on the expedition. These people were also the essence of the entire Manchus. If there was another mistake, the foundation of Manchus could be said to be completely defeated.

With the arrival of these Manchus, the entire Shandong was completely stabilized in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming became supporting roles. They did not receive much punishment for this defeat. They were only scolded and instead authorized them to swear to expand the Han army. Even the generals who surrendered to Duoduo earlier were well won and allowed them to expand their teams in Shandong.

The great defeat of Manchus could not have been untouched by the surrendered Ming generals in front of him. Many people's will was shaken. After Manchus' strength in Shandong was enhanced and they allowed them to expand their troops, the wavering surrendered troops became willing to go to the ground again. For them, there is everything with soldiers. They have long been used to being local emperors. Now Manchus allows them to expand their troops, and of course they can get their support.

Manchus wanted to rest and recuperate, and the same was true for the Nanming. Both sides had no intention of a big fight. However, small-scale conflicts were inevitable. The scouts of both sides often crossed the border, which would always cause some fighting. However, Manchus rarely went out, most of them were Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming's traitor army blocked the front, and both sides suffered casualties, which was considered a draw.

The failure of the Tatars' southern expedition army not only caused strong shocks from the Manchus themselves, but the shock of the Dashun army was no less than that of the Manchus. With the successive victory of the official army, the incompetence of the officers and soldiers had already been deeply reflected in the minds of the Dashun army. The series of failures since Shanhaiguan made the Dashun army deeply fear the Tatars, especially during the period when they withdrew from the capital, the Dashun army was completely unethical. Often a small team of Tartars could chase the large team of Shun army to escape, and countless people left the team every day.

Referring to the fact that the Tartars fought against the Ming army without looking at the result, but they did not expect that the Tartars would be defeated, which made Li Zicheng and his men confused. They didn't know whether the Tartars' combat power had declined too quickly, or whether the Ming army suddenly became stronger, and they did not dare to move for the moment.

In March of the first year of Hongguang, the Central Plains, which had been in war, calmed down rarely, and all parties were licking their wounds, waiting for the development of the form.

In April, Xi'an, as if God opened his eyes, the rain this year suddenly increased. The originally yellow land of Guanzhong was full of green and green. Many wastelands became farmland again, and the crops inside were growing well. In just two months, these crops could be harvested and Guanzhong was once again turned into a granary.

However, from April to harvest, it was the most difficult time. Many farmers relied on digging wild vegetables and grass roots on the mountain to survive. Fortunately, the rain was sufficient. After years of war, the population of Guanzhong decreased by half. Various wild vegetables on the mountain grew wildly. In addition, some of the fruits they planted temporarily, farmers could still survive.

Farmers can survive by digging wild vegetables, but the army cannot, especially war horses. They cannot fight by eating grass alone. The food required by a horse is comparable to that of several soldiers. Although Gu Junen bought two batches of grain from the Ming Dynasty some time ago, it was only compared to the huge military needs of the Dashun Army. These two batches of grain were just a drop in the bucket.

Li Zicheng had to discuss military rations with various civil and military ministers every day, but he could not find a way. The local food in Shaanxi was basically plundered, and most of the farmers lived by eating wild vegetables. The landlords and gentry were almost killed. The food in hand was all closely related to the Dashun Army itself. You can't steal your own people. If this is the case, the Dashun Army will soon be in chaos.
