Chapter 686 Dorgon stopped by the Yellow River

Just as Qian Sule said when he went to Hangzhou to meet Wu Zheng, this group is not loyal to the country, nation, nor the king, but the interests of themselves and the entire class.

Just like the great men of the founding country in later generations evaluated, if Zhu Yuanzhang had not adjusted his thinking in time, he would have probably not won the world.

Chen Zilong, Qian Sule and even Zhang Huangyan and others actually belong to this class.

But Zhang Huangyan and others wanted to struggle and put it into action.

Qian Sule realized that in a person's life, he only needs to do one thing, which is enough.

But Chen Zilong is still loyal to his class.

This class almost encompasses all the scholars and elites in the world and countless great masters and nobles.

Even if a few knowledgeable people find that something is wrong, they cannot escape from such a huge and sticky class.

Such a class almost occupies the world's wealth and talents.

It has an immortal body, and the change of dynasties is just a new piece of clothing for it.

This is why they could control the strength of the sea, but the imperial court in the late Ming Dynasty could not pay the military pay for the army to fight against the Tartars.

This is the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and they can still continue to stay in the temple with this group.

This is the real reason why the Qing Dynasty has been in the country for three hundred years, but it has been a wedding dress for others for many years.

Even in later generations, this power still exists, but it has been compressed a lot, compressed to almost no attention from the world.

And the power to compress it comes from the awakened people.

But at present, it is an invincible existence.

People block, people die!

The country is blocked, the country is destroyed!

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang was only offended for the first time.

Fortunately, it also knows how to sacrifice, and it will never confront a real spokesperson for dozens or hundreds of fake spokespersons.

It also knows how to measure it.

....

Jirgalang also made a mistake.

He shouldn't have used the last ten thousand mobile forces in his hand.

You should know that at this time, the Qing army in Jiangbei was known as 100,000, but no more than 60,000 people could actually mobilize to participate in the war.

Breakthrough of Wang Zhiren's navy river defense, the operation has been reduced by nearly 10,000 yuan.

Attacking Shence, the troops of the second sect of Taiping have reached 20,000.

There are still ten thousand people who were restrained by the navy deployed by Wang Zhiren in the direction of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Tan Tai's side troops attacked Zhong Fu, and the partial troops from the second Jinchuan Sect left eight thousand people.

Once the only 10,000 remaining mobile troops in your hand are mobilized, there will be no room for maneuver and you will either win or lose.

Didn't Jirgalang know that this was a mistake?

Of course not!

How could Prince Zheng Jirgalang, who had been in the military for decades, not knowing that this is a mistake?

But he still resolutely mobilized these ten thousand people to reinforce Shen Ce and Taiping Second Sect.

Because Jirgalang had no time, food, grass and military supplies could not keep up, and artillery could not be transported across the river in a short time.

However, the cannons on the Yingtianfu city wall were firing fiercely at the Qing army.

These are not the most critical. The most critical thing is that Dorgon led an army of 150,000 to the south.

Hey, isn't this a good thing?

Could it be that Jirgalang would ignore the success or failure of the national war for his personal grudges with Dorgon?

Of course not!

Jirgalang can still distinguish the importance of the surname Aisin Gioro.

The real reason why he had to use his mobile forces was not that Dorgon led a 150,000 army south, but that Dorgon led a 150,000 army north of Xuzhou (the mouth of the Yellow River was changed to the Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure the smooth transportation of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Huanglinggang was built and the Huai River was used to receive the water of the entire river. Therefore, the Yellow River channel at that time entered the sea near Xuzhou), and it stopped before it even crossed the Yellow River.

Why?

Could it be that Dorgon wanted to use the Ming army to completely eradicate Jirgalang?

Of course not!

Even Jirgalang can tell the difference between importance, so how could the Regent Dorgon let tens of thousands of Qing troops be buried with Jirgalang?

The real reason lies in this 150,000 army.

The 150,000 army was newly conquered, and almost half of them were Han people.

Although the Han people at this time were not enough to have the national justice that the people of later generations awakened, they at least did not have the courage to fight for the Qing court.

The newly conquered soldiers and fighting for foreign races, you can imagine how powerful the combat power of this army can be.

Dorgon had no choice.

There are indeed nearly 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers in the capital. Can you dare to move?

When entering the pass, Dorgon led the 120,000 Eight Banners Army, which had been lost in the past four years, has been nearly half of it. Especially in the battle to destroy the Hongguang Dynasty, the Eight Banners soldiers were reduced by nearly 20,000 people. This is the real cause of the 10-day tragedy in Yangzhou.

Although Shi Kefa was indecisive and hesitant in his work on the heir to the throne, and his military capabilities were indeed worrying, he was enough to cover up any of his shortcomings in resisting the Qing army.

The battle of Yangzhou hurt the Tartars, which made Duoduo lose his rationality and also exerted the stronghold of the Han people.

The rapid reduction of the Eight Banners soldiers led to the Qing court's shrinking in the use of the Eight Banners soldiers.

There is no way to do this. The population is too small, and it takes more than ten years to become an adult if one dies.

Therefore, in subsequent battles, the Eight Banners soldiers were mainly used to station in the Tunnel, which was the origin of later generations who called the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing and assisted in the defense of the Eight Banners.

For example, when Wu fought to recover Hangzhou Prefecture, there were only 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers under the command of the Hangzhou General, and the rest were thieves who surrendered or recruited by the Ming army.

For example, when the Yingtian Prefecture was restored, the Eight Banners soldiers under General Jiangning did not capture 7,000, and the rest were also surrendered by Ming troops.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, especially the Southern Ming Dynasty, was not in the hands of the destruction of the Tartars, but in the hands of the Ming people. This is absolutely true.

Only one year after the Qing army entered the pass, it surrendered more than 400,000 Ming troops from all walks of life.

These troops were mainly deployed to the northwest and southwest directions to encircle and suppress the remnants of Dashun and Daxi Rebels.

After the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Qing court surrendered more than 200,000 Ming troops.

These troops were sent south to Fujian and Guangzhou.

What is so cold that these surrendered Ming troops were determined to follow the Tartars and kill their compatriots, even more cruel than the Tartars. Li Chengdong did the Three Massacres in Jiading.

Wu Zheng had the opportunity to kill Li Chengdong, but for the purpose of allowing the Longwu Dynasty to restrain Duoduo, he did not take action.

The Ming army generals in the late Ming Dynasty had already taken the prototype of warlords.

Most of them have no word for loyalty in their hearts, and only think about territory and money.

And the butt determines the position, and the class mentioned above is the biggest source of the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Just imagine, if this class used financial resources to support the Southern Ming army and the rebels in various parts of Jiangnan, then Fulin and Dorgon would take the initiative to negotiate and rule the river. This was the most ideal situation for the Qing court.

Dorgon led a 150,000 army that was stranded on the bank of the Yellow River and refused to cross the line. Dorgon was really unsure whether the army would disperse once it crossed the river.

This was fine when the Qing army was advancing all the way. Most of these Han people, who were forced by the government or by their livelihood, might have really gone to the battlefield for the Tartars.
