Brothers and sisters, happy Little New Year.

Thank you to the brothers who have always supported the boat. I have already wished you a happy old age here.

When Oboi failed to retreat from Jining, the news of his advance to the Huai River reached Dorgon's central army, Dorgon and a group of Manchu and Mongolian royals were excited that Shi Tingzhu had lost a common base of six or seven hundred people in the mountainous area of ​​Shandong.

But when news from Oboi came, there was a low silence in the account.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they felt a little burning pain on their faces...

Damn, now, the Qing Dynasty has fallen to the point where they have to break through a small village in Ming Dynasty, and they are all about to celebrate each other...

Dorgon's face was even more constipated and indescribable.

He had high hopes for Obai, hoping that Obai, the "Baturu" of the Qing Dynasty, could quickly open up the situation. Who would have thought that he would be a fool who was not good at it!

But even if he was angry, he had no choice but to wink at Jirgalang and Daishan.

The two old fried dough sticks quickly understood and hurriedly came out to smooth things over. The village was indeed not worth celebrating, but at least it was "opened"?

...

The news on the Model Army was more than an hour slower than the Qing army.

At this time, the main force of the Qing army had initially completed the encirclement of Haicheng. If you want to go to Haicheng, you must go to the shore to transfer to a boat, which will take a little time, but this time is naturally irrelevant.

Seeing that Jining was held, Xu Changqing also clenched his fists excitedly.

Xu Changqing’s previous layout had two key points and difficulties!

One is Qingzhou, and the other is Jining!

Needless to say, Qingzhou is not only the most important city in the peninsula, but also the location of Hengfan. It has been broken once and can no longer be lost.

The second is Jining!

Moreover, Jining is more critical and more important than Qingzhou!

Although Jining has no vassal kings, it is the core of central and southern Shandong, and has never been truly attacked by war. It is not controversial at this time that it is the most prosperous number one in Jiangbei outside Haicheng.

Sooner or later, the Grand Canal will be connected again, and Jining will be the last face of the Ming Dynasty, including Xu Changqing.

That is, the situation does not allow it yet. In the next step, when Xu Changqing opens up the joints, Jining will station at least a model army of more than 10,000!

Jining successfully defended and Xu Changqing's strategic goal of protecting Shandong has been mostly achieved, and the opportunity to launch a frontal offensive against the Qing army has become more and more mature.

As for Denglai, Xu Changqing was not worried at all.

Not to mention that Liu Zhaoji and Wang Tingchen are both veterans and young men, and their experience in various battle formations is even richer than Xu Changqing. Just because of the unique location advantages of the two big cities, unless Ajige pulls Kong Youdewu Zhenchao camp over, it is absolutely impossible to get good results.

Tonight, Wu Xiang happened to come to Xu Changqing for tea. Seeing Xu Changqing's excited appearance, Wu Xiang couldn't help but sigh, feeling joyful but indescribable bitterness in his heart.

What's good is that after he made so many bets, he finally had one bet right.

But the hardest thing is... the biggest bet he made, even if he has not lost a complete loss, it is almost done...

After a while, seeing that Xu Changqing had calmed down and was in a clear mood, Wu Xiang smiled and tentatively said: "Changqing, since Jining has been defended, the vanguard of the Qing army's various cavalry will surely go deep into the Huaihe area. However, when you go deep into the Huaihe area, you not only have to cross the Yellow River, but also the Huaihe River. Now that the flood season is approaching, it is unlikely that the Tartars will gain great results in less than a month or two. In my opinion, you can attack the main force of the Qing army!"

Wu Xiang was so scheming and to some extent, he was also among the existing old military leaders.

One of the strongest abilities is still fine.

Xu Changqing smiled and poured teacups for Wu Xiang: "Father-in-law, don't worry. I have been receiving news these days that there seems to be too much food and grass in the Qing army!"

"Uh? This..."

Wu Xiang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Changqing, no, it won't be. After all, they occupied the capital, how could it be..."

But halfway through the conversation, Wu Xiang suddenly felt clever, and he had already vaguely touched Xu Changqing's deeper meaning.

Xu Changqing wanted to reshuffle the two Huaihe Rivers with the Qing Dynasty...

...

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and it was already mid-August of the second year of Hongguang.

At this time, some early wheat planted around Haicheng could be cut, but nothing happened to the people of Haicheng. Many of the unripe ones were almost cut by the Qing army, and countless model military men were cursing.

With the food and grass supply around Haicheng, and Dorgon urgently pulled from all over the country, the Qing army was not killed by the food and grass crisis, and the Qing Dynasty was still in a stable state.

However, even with food and supplies, the Qing army still had no energy in the battle formation, and their livestock had already eaten almost the same food.

Unlike the Han people, these real Manchus are all carnivorous animals. If they cannot supplement the protein in carnivore in time, how can they be energetic?

But from August 13th, at this point before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were gradually a lot of cheers in the Qing army's battle formation.

Xu Changqing seemed to be patrolling the city leisurely, but Bumubutai and Su Moer were still there.

Bumubutai frowned immediately, and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing and said, "Master, it's not that. What has been gained from Lianghuai?"

Su Mo'er also widened her eyes.

This old maid was already a little disappointed with the Qing Dynasty, and was afraid that the Mongolian banner owner would not be able to sit still and would come out to provoke trouble and cause major changes.

Who would have thought that as Xu Changqing said before, the Qing Dynasty was still stable, and no one from the Mongolian tribes dared to jump out and cause trouble, which kept the Qing army in a stable state, and Su Mo'er raised hope for the Qing Dynasty again.

After all, she has lived in the Qing Dynasty for almost twenty years, and her entire youth has been handed over to the Qing Dynasty. How can many things be easily erased?

It’s no wonder that people say that women have no sense of nationality. Su Moer probably never thought that Genghis Khan’s descendants are now just slaves to others, but they never dare to resist. How sad it is...

Xu Changqing smiled, "Don't worry, you'll know later."

really.

Soon, information came.

Pei County near Xuzhou, the hometown of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, was captured by Oboi and Tan Bai. Moreover, Rao Yubeile Abatai had decided to attack Xuzhou, and the Qing army that hovered in the Huai area were gathering towards Xuzhou.

"this……"

Bumubutai frowned even tighter.

At this time, she actually guessed some of Xu Changqing's ideas, and wanted to move, but she was very afraid that Xu Changqing would not be able to stop it. The time that he had finally waited patiently was wasted due to the changes in the times.

She knew what scale would be if these people from the Qing Dynasty became wild!

But at this time, Xu Changqing still didn't have enough weight in his heart. He wanted to say it, but he didn't dare to say it directly. Even if he was tactful, he would have to rack his brains.

Xu Changqing saw her doubts and smiled and hugged her slender waist: "But I want to persuade me to do it earlier, so as not to have too many dreams?"

Bumubutai hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Master, I don't dare. But once the wind blows, it will be difficult to stop..."

Xu Changqing laughed: "It's okay, it's better to catch fire when the wind blows. Be patient, I'll take you later.

Watch the fireworks.”

"this……"

Bumubute was speechless.

Su Moer sneered arrogantly.

Let you be happy now, sooner or later, when you will get the list!

...

As expected, Xuzhou, the Xiongcheng in Jiangbei, was not defended. At the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, the moment of family reunion, it was successfully captured by Abatai.

Abatai immediately ordered the entire army to massacre the city for two days!

Xuzhou City almost instantly turned into hell on earth.

When the news came, Haicheng was in an uproar.

Many critics of the Haicheng Morning Post had no time to eat, and wrote quickly, denounced the evil deeds of the Qing army that were worse than beasts.

After suppressing the scholars for some time, the ladies even broke out again, clamoring for the atrocities of the Qing army.

At this time, because the Qing army was rampant everywhere, the Haicheng Morning Post passed to Nanjing. It was no longer just using war horses, but the Clippers plus war horses. It was one more day later than the original day, and it took two days to arrive in Nanjing.

When the news reached Nanjing, Nanjing was even more shocking.

Especially at this time, survivors escaped from Xuzhou and brought back more and more practical news, which was so angry that people and gods were all angry!

When this trend reached its peak, Xu Changqing finally moved!

Early in the morning of August 18th, more than a dozen large and small city gates opened in the south direction of Haicheng City. Countless model military men with bright red were as powerful as rainbows and full of anger, and quickly moved within the control area of ​​the model military under the city.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Xuzhou had such a big disturbance, Xu Changqing would have thought he would have delayed it for a few more days.

For many years, there has always been an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, "Salt in the two Huai Rivers, salt in the world!"

But most of these huge profit-making transactions are controlled by the Nanjing nobles. Even Xu Changqing is not willing to force him.

I wanted to do something with Abatai's hands, but Abatai is much more experienced than Xu Changqing thought. He didn't bite this hook!

With the comprehensive conditions of all parties, Xu Changqing can no longer hold back.

If you follow Xu Changqing's plan and delay it for another half a month, or even one month, it will be just right!

At that time, one was that the main force of the Qing army around Haicheng had almost been damaged, and its combat power would definitely decline a lot. The other was that the population of Lianghuai and materials would have to come to Haicheng for at least half a month. It happened to be stuck when they were on the road, so that the Qing army could see it, but they just couldn't touch it!

This will definitely cause a deeper blow to them!

But this is how things in the world are, ‘Planning depends on people, and success depends on heaven!’

It's hard to be perfect!

However, at this time, it is basically close to Xu Changqing's strategic goal. It can be seen and will definitely not let them touch it!

Xu Changqing will definitely not let them replenish the Qing Dynasty at this time!

The Model Army has been practicing this battle for a long time. As the formation spreads rapidly, the offensives from all aspects have been carried out in an orderly manner.

The Qing army did not expect that the Model Army would dare to be so bold. Before they could come to trouble the Model Army, the Model Army actually took the initiative to find them?

Soon, they took advantage of the terrain and used various firearms to attack the model army.

However, it was obviously acute and did not dare to take out the flowering bullets as soon as possible. Moreover, the firepower points of the battle formation were arranged very scattered.

The model army was prepared for this and did not use hot air balloons as soon as possible. Instead, relying on the long-range advantages of the catapult cart and flowering bullets, they drove all the way and pushed them over, quickly forcing the Qing army's outpost.
Chapter completed!
