Just as Haicheng was planning in full swing.

Dorgon, Dodo, Jirgalang and other core members of the Manchu and Mongolian royal family, together with more than 30,000 elite Manchu and Mongolian Banners, have already faced the Bozhou area. The close-range supervising battle has transformed from the Central Plains to the Jiangnan and the two Huai areas.

It is already the end of mid-March, and it is officially beginning spring. The suburbs of Bozhou have begun to reveal green.

However, the Manchu and Mongolian army did not enter the city, but was stationed outside the city.

Early in the morning, many local gentry from Bozhou were gathered outside the Qing army camp, as well as some gentry from Guide Prefecture, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, and even Fengyang, who all rushed over to visit.

Compared with the Qing army's entry in the past, it was like a locust plague, and it was almost different from the three-light policy of "killing and burning all of them".

This time, the main force of the Qing army came here without any crime. He continued to win over gentry from all over the country, and handed over all the bad things to Han slaves such as Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others.

Their intention is also obvious!

Early this morning, Dorgon and others would definitely not meet them, but arranged for Sony, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and others to receive them, and were extremely friendly to these gentry.

In the tent of the Zhengbai Banner, Dorgon, Dodo, Jirgalang, Ajige and other Qing core members also gathered together early to discuss military affairs.

On a huge panoramic map in the tent, small flags were posted, and the flags were marked with several surnames such as "Wu", "Bai", and "Kong". They were the specific locations of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Kong Youde and others.

Duoduo has been back from Goryeo these days. Seeing the situation getting smoother, his mood has improved a lot, and he smiled and said, "Brother, sixth brother, twelfth brother, if it continues to develop like this, it will take less than half a month, and it will be possible to clean up the Jiangbei area. Dog slaves like Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen are hiding deeply in daily life. This time, in order to grab food, their foundation was revealed."

Ajige smiled and said, "The Han people are so kind of incest. They always like to hide and get used to it. But the smoother the situation now, the more trouble they will be. We must push them to the battlefield of Haicheng before they absorb these gains."

Jirgalang said: "That's right. We are really a bit proud this time. We must try our best to control it when we can. These dog slaves don't have a fuel-efficient lamp! Especially in Yangzhou City, it's probably not easy to fight."

At this time, Shi Kefa personally guarded Yangzhou City.

After finishing his business at Lianghuai Salt Field, he listened to Xu Changqing's advice and focused more energy on military affairs.

At this time, there were only more than 20,000 real soldiers in Yangzhou City, but Yangzhou City was not only tall and wide, but also the most famous historical city in China. The economy here was also developed, and the food and manpower reserves were also abundant.

Moreover, there is a navy in Yangzhou City, and there is a Zhenjiang navy next door to help.

If we really want to fight, without strong support, Wu Sangui and other Han military flag servants are really hard to fight.

Because the Qing army would definitely not send their hot air balloons to help Wu Sangui and others fight Yangzhou.

As early as more than ten or twenty years ago, the former King of Rebellion, Gao Yingxiang, had a precedent for leading an army of more than 300,000 to the south of the Yangtze River. However, Lu Xiangsheng led the elite troops of the nine sides at that time, and he was defeated by randomly rushing to the army, and was in ruins and almost failed.

At this time, although Wu Sangui and his group of Han army flag servants were very powerful and seemed unstoppable, they had not yet encountered any real hard bones.

Once you encounter a hard bone, many of the filths will appear, and the offensive will inevitably suffer major twists and turns.

Jirgalang is an old fried dough stick among the old fried dough sticks, and you can see the core of it at a glance.

Duoduo sneered: "It's a good thing that can't be beaten down, it's just right for them to consume it. But Shi Kefa is a waste, I'm afraid he didn't think so strong. Then it depends on whether he can hook Xu Changqing.

Come here."

The few people were still optimistic as they spoke every word.

Just as Xu Changqing had previously guessed, the Qing Dynasty had a trump card in its hands for so many years, and they were not afraid of chaos in the world.

Especially in the current situation, it is more in line with their interests when the world is in chaos.

At least, all the Han army flag slaves are under their command of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, in this way, all the Wu Sangui and others were wrongly named and had to rely on their Qing Dynasty.

This makes the situation seem chaotic, but there are many that are still in their hands.

However, Dorgon did not say a word, and his expression remained calm.

After the discussion was almost done for several people, he said: "Sixth brother, fifteenth brother, twelfth brother, you are all right, but we can't be too optimistic. Xu Changqing has probably accumulated a lot of foundation over the years. Now the situation is so grand, he is afraid he can't help it."

"It's better if you can't help it!"

Duoduo sneered: "As long as Xu Changqing dares to stretch out his claws, we will catch him! Let the people from Nanjing and Jiangnan think carefully!"

Jirgalang nodded and said, "Regent, you don't need to worry too much. At least at the moment, all this is still under our control. Xu Changqing will definitely send troops. Now, it depends on when he will send troops! As long as these Han slaves can kill Xu Changqing, even if they just surround Xu Changqing and prevent him from doing anything randomly, it will be worth it for us!"

Dorgon nodded slowly: "That's the same thing, but no one can neglect it. Let's go here this morning. Let's continue tomorrow. Let's go and see the gentry first. Fifteenth, put away your temper, this is our capital."

Duoduo also relaxed and smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Even if these squire slapped me in the face in person, I wouldn't fight back."

...

Haicheng.

The mobilization order has been launched, and the entire Shandong is like a huge machine, running quickly. Xu Changqing's secret report requesting the reopening of the Five Army Governor's Office has also been sent to Nanjing.

To a certain extent, Xu Changqing chose to reopen the Governor's Office of the Five Army at this time, but it was a little bit Meng Lang and even very risky.

After all, after the chaos began, Goryeo's victory was no longer considered a victory, and the model army had not yet officially intervened in the frontal battlefield, let alone achieved a victory.

If you are not careful, the big hat of the "traitor" will be taken over.

But Xu Changqing had to do so!

Because chaos is about to emerge, the world is in chaos, and Xu Changqing must obtain the highest command of the world's military as soon as possible!

Otherwise, as this chaos continues to deepen, the water will inevitably become more and more muddy. By then, Xu Changqing will be unable to explain even if he has a mouth. It is better to cut the mess quickly and settle the matter first, and make the rice mature.

By then, even if there are any changes or trolls, Xu Changqing has this open name in his hands, so he will have room to move forward and retreat.

Inner study room.

Various battle reports are like assembly lines, and every once in a while, they will send a letter to report on the situation on various battlefields.

In fact, Xu Changqing also knew that in Jiangbei, except for the lost Zhongdu Fengyang and Yangzhou City, some combat power, other places are basically for free.

Even if it is a place in a mansion, only two or three thousand will be killed. How could the miscellaneous army of at least four or five thousand be the opponent of at least tens of thousands of elite combat soldiers under Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others?

Not to mention, who has not had any relatives and friends over the years? This kind of internal and external cooperation is not something that can be competed against in such small places.

Now, Fengyang has been lost, and the only city that has the power to fight and has extensive power is Yangzhou.

Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others were also very tacit at this time, but they just picked up soft persimmons first.

He formed a siege towards Yangzhou, but did not rush to attack Yangzhou.

It seemed that they were also waiting for the action of the Model Army.

One ant is indeed nothing, but what about ten, hundreds, ten million?

As long as there are too many quantities, quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change.

Even Xu Changqing could not bear the equivalent force.

Moreover, the most critical issue is that the Qing army relied on Yangzhou City to put out this big pocket just to put Xu Changqing in.

Even if they surrounded and did not attack, they were just stuck in the model army, it was already a huge victory for them.

This leads to the very possibility that the model army must take the initiative to find an opportunity to break the deadlock!

"This is a damn old sow wears a bra, one set of one set!"

Xu Changqing let out a long breath, his eyes cold and stern.

The current situation really makes me feel a little bit like ‘Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone’.

However, no matter how difficult it is, as long as the Five Army Governor's Office is reopened, Xu Changqing will still go to Yangzhou to work after the name of Dayi!

Yangzhou has become the most critical node at this time, which is directly related to the luck of both the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Even if you have to pay a lot of money, even though you know it is a pit, Xu Changqing has to jump in!

The only thing that made Xu Changqing glad was that Shigemen finally had a strong momentum this time, at least, he knew to occupy Yangzhou first.

Otherwise, if it were some other inland places, even Jining and Qufu would be uncomfortable enough for Xu Changqing.

After all, Yangzhou is backed by the river, and whether it is transporting troops or replenishing supplies, it is more beneficial to the model army.

I just don’t know what measures will Wu Sangui and others and the masters of the Qing army have to deal with this regard...

While thinking, a maid suddenly came from outside: "Master, Mrs. Dong'e is here..."

"Um?"

Xu Changqing was slightly stunned, then he couldn't help but slapped her on his forehead and said quickly: "Please invite her in. Forget it, I'll go and invite her in person."

As he said that, he got up and went to greet Dong'e in person.

He was a little busy these days after he came back and actually forgot Dong'e.

At this time, Dong'e is an extremely critical core!

Outside the door, Dong'e's eyes were already in the rain, and his eyes were red and swollen. He didn't know how long he had cried. When he saw Xu Changqing, he fell to his knees on the ground, "Brother Xu, I'm sorry. I don't know, I don't know why things turned out like this. You, please give up..."

When Xu Changqing saw Dong'e's appearance, he couldn't stop regretting it. If he had known this, he would go see Dong'e first if he had said anything.

He rushed over and picked her up directly, "Dong'e, what are you thinking about in your little head? Your father is your father, and you are you, how can you confuse me?"

Dong'e just cried, heartbroken and didn't speak.

Xu Changqing carried Dong'e into the sofa in the inner study room, and her tears had wet the collars of Xu Changqing's chest.

Xu Changqing was busy trying various means, but he wanted to coax her well, but he couldn't do anything. Dong'e's sadness was thorough in his bones.

This made Xu Changqing feel a little uncomfortable.

On the one hand, I really feel sorry for Dong'e. On the other hand, if Dong'e is in this state, his plan will not be easy to go back.

After a while, when Dong'e still cried, he almost lost the courage to live, Xu Changqing became furious, "Is it like crying? Is the sky falling or something? Is the sky falling? I'll keep my brother watching you. Are you crying and crying? I'll do you now!"

"Ai?"

Dong E was stunned and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing, but stopped crying.
