Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 729
For the Qing Dynasty, it is definitely not a war that will save and consume.Resources are limited, especially after suffering major setbacks before, whether it is food, supplies or military strength, it is even more tense.Therefore, if you want to fight Ming, you must have enough benefits.

If you attack during the autumn harvest, even if you can't take down the cities of the Ming Dynasty, you can still plunder a handful of grain and grass, and you will lose more or less.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, it will take a lot of time to contact Wacha and Tsarist Russia.

Although Guihua City is now occupied by the Ming army, you can go to the Mobei side, the north of the Daqing Mountains, and take a detour, and you can also get in touch with Wacha and Tsarist Russia.

If possible, Dorgon also hopes that Tsarist Russia and Wacha can launch an offensive in the west of the Ming Dynasty to reduce the pressure on Liaodong.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira heard what Dorgon meant, thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, the Qing side must support some grain and grass materials, otherwise, the North Korean side may not be able to last until then!"

This time, Dorgon didn't hesitate any more, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Daqing will do everything we can! But I hope you have a mental preparation, Daqing's food and grass are actually not enough, so we can only squeeze as much as possible." come out."

He had to say this.Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty was frugal in food and expenses, and it was hard to save food and materials to provide to the Wa Kingdom, but the Wa Kingdom could eat and drink, and the Qing Dynasty was absolutely unwilling.

Matsudaira Nobuta understood Dorgon's meaning, nodded immediately and said: "At this difficult time, your two countries will work together to tide over the difficulties!"

After hearing this, Dorgon also said something similar. For a moment, there seemed to be excitement in the Chongzheng Hall, as if they could have a bright future with sincere unity.

However, when he turned around, Matsudaira Nobutsuna sighed when he went to the post house to rest.

On Daqing's side, he couldn't rush over to deal with it, so as not to pass messages back and forth and delay time.In fact, he himself is in North Korea, and he still has a lot of things to do.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty occupied Tsushima Island and cut off the connection between North Korea and the Japanese mainland. Not only could the grain and supplies be unable to be sent to North Korea, but it also made the Japanese army in North Korea worry about the situation in our country, and the morale of the army was a little unstable.

However, at least in the short term, the Japanese see no hope of changing the situation in Tsushima.As a result, all the big names in North Korea have their own thoughts.Without the support of the shogunate behind him, Matsudaira Nobu's plan to control the Korean Japanese army is also a problem.

He was worried that after leaving North Korea for a long time, those big names would connect with each other in private.Relying on Yagyu Shibingwei alone may not be able to control the situation.

After all these, Nobuzuna Matsudaira decided to go back early tomorrow morning.

On the Jianlu side, after Matsudaira Nobuzuna left and Dorgon thought about it, he summoned Yingerdai and Fan Wencheng, and said to them with a serious expression: "Will Wacha and Tsarist Russia send troops to attack?" The western part of the Ming Dynasty had a great influence on our Qing Dynasty. It has been two years now, but the integration of troops from the west has not yet been completed, and Gu can no longer delay it. Qing and the other two, as the envoys of the Qing Dynasty, passed through Mobei Over there, rush to the west as soon as possible, so that Wacha and Tsarist Russia must attack the west of the Ming Dynasty before the autumn harvest this year, understand?"

Yingerdai, whose full name is Tara Yingerdai, is a native of Zhengbaiqi. The Koreans call him a dragon bone. He is famous for his financial management and diplomacy in the Qing Dynasty.One of his biggest characteristics is not to mechanically complete the tasks assigned by Shangguan, but to have a comprehensive understanding of political and military dynamics, and then try to make them beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.

After Dorgon thought about it carefully, he felt that the things in the west would not have the desired effect unless someone like Ying Erdai passed by.As far as this is concerned, he was afraid that it was still not safe, so he wanted to add Fan Wencheng, so as to ensure that Wacha and Tsarist Russia attacked the western part of Ming Dynasty as much as possible.

Originally, he actually wanted to send Hong Chengchou, because in his opinion, compared with Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou still needs knowledge and ability, but Liaodong is also under great pressure from the Ming Dynasty, and it is inseparable from being familiar with the Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou of affairs.Under the second choice, he decided to send Fan Wencheng there.

At this time, upon hearing Dorgon's explanation, both Ying'erdai and Fan Wencheng knew the importance of their trip, so they both took orders and promised to live up to their master's entrustment.

Dorgon was still a little worried, and explained to the two of them: "If Wacha and Tsarist Russia want to put forward any conditions, there is no need to worry about it. The most important point is to see them send troops to attack the west of the Ming Kingdom and attract them. attention, understand?"

The implication is that anything can be promised first, and it doesn't matter whether it will be honored in the end.

After hearing this, Ying Erdai nodded immediately, expressing her understanding.

As a general who has been active in the front line of the Qing Dynasty, he is also very familiar with the situation of the Korean Wa country.It can be said that he is one of the few senior generals in the Qing Dynasty who understands the current situation of the Qing Dynasty very well.

Both Yingerdai and Fan Wencheng felt that it was not too late. After saying goodbye to Dorgon, they simply packed up and saluted, and set off from Shengjing regardless of the heavy snow on the grassland.

..............................

In late January of the 20th year of Chongzhen, because the climate of this era was low, snow would still fall on the grassland from time to time, not to mention whether the snow on the ground would melt.

When Ying Erdai and Fan Wencheng led the team to the west, from the west to the east, there was also a team of about [-] people marching through the snow.

From the clothes of this team, it can basically be seen that this is a Mongolian team.

When they were advancing through the snow, suddenly, without knowing when, a group of cavalry appeared from all directions.

These cavalrymen were all wearing white cloaks, and inside the white cloaks were bright red war jackets. Needless to say, this was a group that would not be accepted by Ming Ye.

Seeing that they were surrounded by Ming cavalry, these Mongols did not panic. Immediately, someone shouted loudly in broken Ming official language: "We are the envoys of the Duerbote Department, and we have come to negotiate with Daming at the order of the Great Khan. .”

The Ming army heard this at night, and several soldiers stepped forward, confiscated their weapons, and then led them back to Guihua City.That's right, it's the closest to Guihua City.

According to the plan, a city will also be built on the Baotou side of later generations.However, the construction has not started yet, and Guihua City must be built first, and then connected to Baotou by railway.

All the way south, these envoys from Duerbert's department were observing the situation along the way.

These Mongols have actually been to Guihua City before.Traveling eastward all the way, it was okay at first, but when they were about to reach Guihua City, wherever they looked, they were all stunned.

The person in the lead couldn't help but asked the passing Ming army Yebu received the general flag: "When...when did Guihua City become so big? Where's the city wall? Isn't there still a city wall left?"

In the distance, there are densely packed buildings, which are particularly conspicuous on the endless snow.

The Ming Army General Banner heard this, and said with a little pride: "Where is the original city wall inside? The houses outside were all newly built last year, and they lived with the returning tribe from Mobei."

"Then why is there no city wall?" The envoy of Duerbert's department was a little puzzled, and immediately asked, "If the city wall is to be built again, it may take several years to build it?"

As far as the eye can see, there are too many houses, and the city wall surrounding it must be very long.

When the general banner of the Ming Army heard it, he and his subordinates all laughed. When the envoy of Duerbert's department was a little puzzled by the laughter, he replied in a confident tone: "We are the city wall!"

"What?" The envoy of Duerbert's department heard this, and after being puzzled for a while, looking at the confident soldiers of the Ming army in front of him, he suddenly understood what the city wall they were talking about.

Once they understood this, for a while, they didn't know what to say, so they were all silent.

Soon, another team of Ming cavalry came over to check the situation. As soon as this team saw Guihua City from afar, three teams of Ming cavalry came over to check. Finally, this team was considered to have arrived at Guihua. This side of the city.

Many people in the house heard the movement and came out to watch.Among them, there are old people, young people, women, and children; in them, you can't see the helplessness of winter, but all of them have smiles and satisfaction on their faces.

Observing this scene, the team from Dulbert's department were all surprised.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Duerbert's department itself is concerned, some people will definitely die in one winter, and many people will worry about whether they can survive this cold winter and welcome the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

This is completely different from the scene I saw in front of me.

"You came just in time. Marquis Ningyuan and the general soldiers just came back from the capital. You wait here, and I will report to Marquis Ningyuan right now."

On the side of the old city wall of Guihua City, an official gave instructions to these envoys, and then turned around and went inside to report.

Years ago, the governor of Yansui was in Guihua City, but he returned to Yulin during the Chinese New Year.

On the Guihua City side, He Renlong was the biggest; however, when Li Dingguo returned from the capital, he was the one to talk about Guihua City.Of course, in name, Guihua City is still under the jurisdiction of Governor Yansui.

Li Dingguo and the others returned to Guihua City with the main purpose of rectifying the surrendered Mobei Cavalry and re-establishing their combat effectiveness so that they could launch military operations in time this year.

Li Dingguo heard that an envoy from Duerbert's department came to negotiate, so he naturally summoned him.But there was one thing that made him a little curious and speechless: the emissary of Duerbert's department said that he was stupid and afraid of being cheated, so they asked a group of people to meet Li Dingguo together.

　I didn't get home until 11:30 after working overtime last night, so today's update is late.
