Chapter 1240 Hauge's Abnormal Behavior

When Emperor Chongzhen was free to write books and talk about it, Dorgon, who was far away in the country of Wa, was actually having a hard time.

Seeing that June is coming soon, he is very anxious.I was afraid that suddenly, someone outside would report that the Spanish fleet was passing by, but he had no money and was not ready to buy firearms and ships.

More than a month ago, it was decided to fight Iwami Yinzan of the Tokugawa shogunate, but, unfortunately, it was impossible to fight across the sea.

Between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, the nearest is the Shimonoseki Strait.The narrowest part of the northeast end of this strait is only about 700 meters away. Heavy artillery is deployed here and can hit the opposite bank.Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists.Therefore, whether it is the Tokugawa shogunate or the Kyushu coalition forces, they have deployed heavy troops here.Now, it is far more difficult for Dorgon to fight from here than he imagined.

Previously, Dorgon ordered to test that the navy of the Tokugawa shogunate and the army on the shore had no possibility of breaking through the opponent's defense line.The biggest difficulty is actually the navy problem.

Fighting across the sea, as long as it is on land, with the combat power of the Qing warriors, in fact, they are not afraid of the Musketeers of the Tokugawa Shogunate at all.However, the existence of the navy will cut off the follow-up reinforcements. If there are too many enemies on the other side, the Qing army that does not receive follow-up reinforcements may eventually be exhausted!

This reason is why Dorgon has never launched a war, knowing that time is running out.

Of course, there are other reasons, such as the food problem.

This problem is an old problem in the Qing Dynasty, and Dorgon has always been troubled by it.After coming to the Wa country, he realized that the Wa country is actually a country short of food.In Japan, silver is not actually a hard currency, and is generally only used for foreign trade or large transactions, or transactions between dignitaries.In ordinary private transactions, rice is actually the unit of exchange.This shows the importance of food in Japan.

The previous wars with the Tokugawa Shogunate all took place on Kyushu Island. The destruction of the war caused great losses to the people's livelihood in Kyushu.Although the current confrontation with the Tokugawa shogunate is across the sea, it has been recuperating for a while.However, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty were not engaged in production, and the farmers who farmed the fields were all Japanese.However, these Japanese people basically joined the Catholic Church to evade taxes.

Thanks to the common enemy of the Tokugawa shogunate, the coalition forces will help each other in the same boat, and finally the food can still be shared evenly.There is no problem in surviving, but it is really very little to store food and materials for war.

On this day, Dorgon called together all his trusted generals to discuss the military situation, to see if there is any good way?

However, the key to the war lies in the navy.However, the strength of the navy cannot be changed overnight.In addition, most of the Manchus are landlubbers, and they have never had experience in water warfare before.These people in the hall are helpless.

At this time, there was another commotion outside the hall.Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, everyone in the hall knew who was coming.

Sure enough, Hauge and his men appeared at the gate of the hall, and walked into the hall swaggeringly.

"What are you doing here?" Doduo's face was very ugly. He didn't like Hauge very much, so he didn't speak politely.

Hauge heard this, looked at the three brothers in the hall, and said with a sneer, "If my great-nephew doesn't come, are you going to stay here forever, either watching the Spaniard leave or waiting until Minggou calls?"

When Dorgon heard this, his face was gloomy, but he didn't speak. The thing that has been exhausting him all the time came from the truth, and he couldn't refute it.

But Azig didn't want to show weakness, and immediately asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

As far as the IQ of a bird like Hauge is concerned, he is not worthy of giving Dorgon shoes.Now that even Dorgon is in trouble, what else can Hauge do?This time, I came here to sneer and sarcastic again.

This is basically a consensus, and that's why Azig asked a rhetorical question.

Unexpectedly, Hao Ge patted his chest when he heard this, and said loudly: "Nonsense, my nephew didn't want to say it at first, thinking you have a solution. Only now did I realize that you are all as stupid as pigs. Look at it, my nephew. If you can’t go down, you have to come here.”

Hearing this, it seemed that Hauge could solve the current predicament, which made a group of people in the hall look at each other in blank dismay.

When does the sun come out in the west?How strange!

Dorgon's city is indeed relatively deep. After hearing this, he not only turned a blind eye to Hauge's rudeness, but smiled and said kindly: "Now it's about the future of our Qing Dynasty. Since Qing has a way, it's better to say it." listen?"

Hauge's expression was unbearable, and he seemed extremely proud. He ignored Dorgon, and slowly scanned the group of people in the hall, seeing their shocked faces, feeling very refreshed.

Just when Duduo was about to lose his temper, he heard Hauge say: "Okay, since you are humbly asking for advice, my grand nephew can give you some advice!"

Having said that, he seemed to instruct him to ask: "Where's the map?"

Dorgon was not angry, and even used his eyes to stop Duduo, who wanted to get mad, and asked someone to hang a map on the screen, and pushed it to the middle of the hall.Dorgon even came down in person and came to the edge of the screen, waiting to hear Hauge's idea.

Hauge had such a rare opportunity, and he seemed to enjoy it very much. He didn't speak immediately, but gave Duduo and Azig a provocative glance, and then approached the screen.

Seeing this situation, Dodo was so angry that he wanted to explode.However, Dorgon gave him a hint, and he didn't dare to go against Dorgon's intentions, so he leaned closer to Azig and said in a low voice, "With a pig brain like his, what good ideas can he come up with. Wait." After a while, we must humiliate him, it's too arrogant!"

Unexpectedly, Haoge's ears were sharp, and when he heard him talking, he immediately turned his head and stared at Dodo and shouted, "What are you mumbling about? Doubt me?"

When Dorgon saw that Dodo was about to retaliate, he immediately smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, the big thing is important. If you have a good plan, you should talk about it as soon as possible. What we need in Qing Dynasty is time!"

"Hmph!" Hauge snorted to Duduo, "If you can't figure it out, be humble and listen to my great-nephew!"

Duduo's complexion suddenly turned pale, but Hauge turned around proudly, pointed to the map and began to explain his idea.

"During last year's war, among the troops sent by the Tokugawa shogunate to Kyushu, there were many troops from Shikoku Island. My grand-nephew remembers that these troops on Shikoku Island suffered heavy casualties, and it was my grand-nephew who killed them. In other words, there are not many troops in Shikoku Island today, and this is one of them!"

Hearing this, Dorgon frowned slightly, looked at Shikoku Island, and began to think about Hauge's words.In the past, it was not that he hadn't considered Shikoku's side, but he gave up for various reasons.Now that Hauge is telling the news, he didn't notice it before.

"But now, we are hoarding heavy troops here, thinking about crossing the Shimonoseki Strait to fight against Iwami Yinshan. Therefore, most of the troops of the Tokugawa shogunate are deployed here, especially their navy, which is more defensive. The Guan Strait is the main..."

The Maguan Strait is too narrow, and if you don't pay attention, the boat can go to the other side.Therefore, it can be said that the navy of the Tokugawa shogunate patrolled here day and night.

When Hauge was talking about this, he suddenly pointed to the Shikoku side with his hand and said: "The Fengyu Strait is the narrowest place in our Kyushu and Shikoku, about less than [-] miles wide. Although there is water from the Tokugawa Shogunate The division patrols, but it is not their key defensive area. As long as we try our best to break through the strait blockade here, there will be no problem."

Hearing this, Duoduo couldn't bear it any longer, so he sarcastically said, "I thought it was such a great idea, hehe..."

The faces of other people also showed similar expressions, and many of them were a little disappointed.Because of this idea, it's not that they haven't thought about it.

Dorgon was also disappointed, and when he was about to speak, he saw Hauge pointing at Duo Duo, and scolded loudly: "Stupid as a pig, just forget about it if you can't think of a good way, and interrupt my nephew, pig!"

"You..." When Duduo heard that Hauge despised IQ, he was furious.You know, he has always looked down on Hauge, but now it's the other way around, and he's really pissed off.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dorgon: "Okay, listen carefully, it's not too late to speak when you finish speaking!"

Hearing this, Doduo had no choice but to hold back his breath, but felt ruthless in his heart. If he couldn't say one, two, three later, he had to express his anger.

Hauge was very happy to see Doduo's pig liver face, and he felt very happy, so he went on to say: "Sikoku is mountainous, which is not conducive to the deployment of large forces. This is why the Tokugawa shogunate will despise Shikoku. It is precisely because of this, Our Qing Dynasty chose to break through from the four countries, which has two advantages."

"First, there are many mountains in the four countries, and we don't need too many troops to kill them. As long as we Qing warriors go to 2000 people as the main force, I believe we can conquer the four countries. No matter what, there are some plains in the four countries to grow food, which can be plundered for military."

"Second, let those Japanese pluck their hair, pretend to be our Qing army, and march into Shikoku continuously. To create a false impression for the Tokugawa shogunate, our Qing Dynasty occupied Shikoku, and then attacked Honshu based on Shikoku. If so, our Qing Dynasty had more attack directions in the four countries, and we could attack Iwami Ginzan to the north, and Edo where the Tokugawa shogunate was located to the east, which is very threatening.”

After hearing this, Duoduo almost couldn't hold back his rebuttal.Because this idea is good, but there are many mountains in the four countries. If the Qing army really wants to use the four countries as its foundation, as long as the navy of the Tokugawa shogunate isolates the four countries, the Qing army will starve to death.Because of this, they had thought about this situation before, but gave up.

But just now Hauge said that letting the Japanese pretend to be the Qing army, it means that this statement is false.It was for this reason that Duduo suppressed his rebuttal and continued to listen.

At this time, Hauge seemed to be the former Huang Taiji, and he talked there: "The Tokugawa shogunate did not know the details in a short period of time, so they would not dare to let our Qing Dynasty use the four countries as a springboard to attack Honshu. In this way, their The navy will definitely be transferred to the four countries and try to block the four countries!"

Hearing this, Dorgon probably understood what Hauge meant, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stared at the Maguan Strait.

Sure enough, I heard Hauge then talk about the Maguan Strait: "As long as the Tokugawa shogunate deploys a large number of naval forces to blockade the four countries, then the Maguan Strait will give us an opportunity to take advantage of it. Before the war begins , we can also secretly transfer troops, but we can be discovered by the other side. When the war of the four countries starts, they will think that we have transferred our troops to the four countries. In this way, the troops on the Maguan Strait will definitely be slack, It is even possible to be transferred away. In this way, as long as our Qing Dynasty chooses the right time, we will definitely be able to attack!"

Dorgon nodded again and again, this method is indeed feasible.The other Manchu Qing generals in the main hall also nodded one by one, and looked at Hauge with that kind of shock.

After three days of farewell, it is really appropriate to use it at this time!A few people even came up with an idea, thinking that Hauge is indeed the son of Huang Taiji!
As for Duo Duo, his face was very ugly.Although he really wanted to humiliate Hauge, at this moment, he had to admit that Hauge's method was indeed possible.

But Dorgon quickly came back to his senses, and frowned when he thought of something.

Hauge noticed the change in his expression.

Haoge understood what Dorgon was thinking, and immediately said first: "This strategy was conceived by my nephew, and it will definitely reach Honzhou. Therefore, it is up to you to attack the Four Kingdoms. It's impossible to let my nephew come up with another idea and fight hard again, right?"

Hearing this, the people in the hall with more flexible minds came back to their senses and understood what Hauge was referring to.

The army attacking Shikoku will inevitably be trapped in Shikoku Island after the Tokugawa shogunate's navy blocks Shikoku.If the Tokugawa shogunate attacked Shikoku with all its strength, the troops on Shikoku Island would probably be exhausted to death because there were no reinforcements.

Of course, this is only a possibility.As long as the troops attacking Honshu can fight well, they may even take down Iwami Yinshan relatively quickly.I am afraid that the Tokugawa shogunate will not care about destroying the enemies of the four countries first, and will instead deploy heavy troops to rob Iwami Yinshan.

But no matter what, the troops sent to the four countries are very dangerous, and in the process of conquering the four countries, there will definitely be losses. Under normal circumstances, no one wants to go to this kind of war.

Dorgon stared at Hauge, extremely surprised.Hauge's performance today was beyond their expectations.It's like a stupid person suddenly enlightened.

If Hauge had always behaved like this in the past, then his crown prince would not have been abolished by Huang Taiji.

Not only Dorgon, but all the people in the hall actually had the same idea.

Hauge, what a surprise! Surprised!
