Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 204 Qian Qianyi Supervisor

But Qian Qianyi still shied away, because he thought he didn't have the ability and sense of responsibility to take on important military and political affairs of a place. If he stayed here, he was afraid that he would miss important military affairs. Qian Qianyi felt that he couldn't bear that responsibility, so evaded way.

"I'm just a scholar, with no strength to restrain a chicken, even Zhao Kuo who talks about military affairs on paper. If you let me stay in Huaiqing, you will ruin the military and state affairs of Ming Dynasty."

"Besides, I'm a civil servant and a cabinet minister. I'm not justified in commanding troops to fight, and those warriors don't pay attention to me. How can I command and move them?" Qian Qianyi asked rhetorically.

"Don't worry about that. I'll give you the title of Huaiqing Supervisor. Can't you justifiably lead the army?" Zhu Cihong had already prepared for this, that is, let Qian Qianyi also be the supervisor. division.

In this way, the two ministers in his cabinet will all become supervisors. In this way, they can neither prevent Zhu Cihong from promulgating some edicts, nor can they control the army. It can be said that they are almost half useless. It will become Zhu Cihong's speech hall.

Even if Zhu Cihong said that he wanted to restore the East Factory, the West Factory, and restore the Jinyiwei's privilege of arresting people, no one would object, and even if someone objected, there would be no leader.

And the Chinese must have a leader in everything they do, otherwise nothing can be done, so that the court can truly become Zhu Cihong's voice.

Suddenly, Zhu Cihong put on a serious face, sat upright and said, "Qian Qianyi listened to the letter. The current state affairs are very difficult. It is the time when the country has lived and died for more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty. I specially ordered Governor Ru to be in charge of military affairs in Henan and Hebei. , servants and guards can be commanded by you."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cihong said to Qian Qianyi with a playful smile again, "Scholar Qian, you are satisfied now."

"I'm still commanding the army to march towards Tongguan, so I won't talk to you any more. Remember to pay close attention to military affairs, train soldiers, and strictly prevent Haoge from breaking through."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cihong left without looking back. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Zhu Cihong gave Qian Qianyi more power. He should thank himself, and don't want to accept it?There is no door, if you dare to refuse the appointment of the king today, I can't imagine what you dare to do tomorrow.

Just after Zhu Cihong left Huaiqing, Dorgon, who was hundreds of miles away in Hejian Mansion, was also preparing to leave.

The army stationed in one place for a long time has no deterrence and no combat effectiveness. Only a mobile army can pose the greatest threat to the enemy and play the greatest role. This is something that Dorgon and even the Qing army deeply believe.

Otherwise, they would not spend a huge price to equip the army with so many horses. Not to mention cavalry, even infantry can achieve at least one horse per man.

Although there are plenty of horses outside the customs, no matter how rich the horses are, even if the horses are left in the wild for a year or so, the number will double, and it will cost a lot to equip the horses.

Military horses are different from horses grazing on the grassland. No matter what kind of tasks these horses undertake, whether they are war horses, pack horses, or draft horses, they all need to be shoed, and they need special care and feeding. fine feed.

If it is not a mare, it is necessary to sterilize the horse first, that is, to fan the horse before it can be used. Otherwise, these horses will not be said to be on the battlefield.

Originally, Dorgon's plan was to use Abnai's Mongolian cavalry to move quickly to Huaiqing Mansion in three days, forcing Zhu Cihong to lift the siege, and then he could go to support Duoduo, or go south along the Grand Canal to break through Zhou Yuantong's defense line , drove straight in, and went directly to Jiangnan, the economic hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the Ming Kingdom, which has an army of millions, will collapse without attack, because right now, the only place in the south of the Yangtze River that can provide Zhu Cihong with wealth to support the army.

After years of wars in the Central Plains, even the local people could not support themselves, let alone the troops transferred from other places.

Unfortunately, it was rejected by Abnai. Abnai said that the Mongolian warriors under his command had just experienced a big battle and were very tired and needed rest. He refused to follow Dorgon to Huaiqing Mansion.

Although Dorgon was very annoyed at Abu Nai's refusal, there was nothing he could do about it for a while. If the main force of the Qing army was in his hands, it would be okay to say that it would be okay to directly surround him with the army. If you agree, besiege him on the spot.

It's a pity that Dorgon's military strength is far less than that of Abunai, and he is not much stronger than Abunai in name. Right now, his title has not added the words "uncle" or "uncle emperor", and he is just a bare regent.

Moreover, there is Fulin's birth mother, the widow of Huang Taiji, who is more qualified to be the regent and supervise the country than him, and the current empress dowager Bumbutai of the Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention that Abunai is a Mongolian, even in the Eight Banners of Mizhou, there are still some people who don't take Dorgon seriously.

So after Abunai rejected Dorgon's order, Dorgon could only stare blankly, but this was only temporary. Dorgon would give the order to Abunai through the meeting of kings and ministers and Bumbutai. There is no other choice but to follow Dorgon's words.

However, Dorgon will find someone to order Abunai with formal procedures, and Abunai will also ask Bumbutai to make decisions for him. Compared with Dorgon, Bumbutai is much more at ease with Abunai.

After all, just the fact that the two people were both born from the Borzigit clan was enough to make the two natural political allies, making Abnai become the Wei Qing in Bumbutai's heart, a general with a large number of troops.

No, after Dorgon ordered Abnai to follow him to send troops and Abnai refused, Abnai handed over the army to Borgo to manage. He personally rushed to the Forbidden City overnight with dozens of trusted followers and three horses.

Although Hejian Mansion is hundreds of miles away from the Forbidden City, even if it takes several hours to drive, this distance is not a big deal for Abnai and others who have sufficient logistics supplies, one person and three horses, and are good at riding horses.

As a nation on horseback, riding a horse is an instinct deeply embedded in their genes, just like eating and drinking water. Even if they ride a horse while sleeping, they can keep themselves from falling off.

So Abnai rode a horse overnight to the Forbidden City. When he entered Bumbutai's Compassion Palace, his genius was bright, and it was several mornings before Dorgon sent someone to hold a meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics and send letters to Bumbutai. an hour.

Bumbutai heard that Abu Nai came to her overnight, so he didn't have time to eat and make up, so he put on his clothes hastily, tied his hair in a bun and came out to meet him.
