Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Mr. Hong, in your opinion, what should I do?"

Dorgon stared into Hong Chengchou's eyes.

"Father, the Regent!"

Hong Chengchou bent over:

"In my humble opinion, why doesn't the prince just follow his plan?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, what Xuzhou wants is to force us away from the Western Canal.

All they want is to keep Xuzhou.

Why don't the prince send a partial army into the western line of the canal to entangle them.

The prince led most of the troops into the east line of the canal.

It would be best to notify the forward Gong Dingzi and ask him to agree to all the Ming army's requirements.

In this way, Xuzhou will enter the territory of Huai'an Prefecture because the prince has taken the eastern route as he wished.

And no longer raise any eyebrows at us.

Gong Dingzi gave them money as usual, which paralyzed them even more.

In this way, the prince's strategic intention to seize Xuzhou was perfectly hidden! "

Hong Chengchou smiled sinisterly:

"Master, when you pass the mouth of the Suining Canal, there will be no larger river blocking the road between you and Xuzhou.

Even if there are several small rivers and ditches, they can still be crossed by a horse!

The most important thing is that the Zhihekou where the Suining Canal meets the Yellow River is only two hundred miles away from Xuzhou.

Until then, head north from Zhihekou via Shuanggou!

In just one night, the prince can arrive at Xuzhou City! "

"wonderful!"

Dorgon high-fived and praised.

"The mouth of the Zhihe River is under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture, as long as we leave the Xuzhou area.

Gao Jie, that bitch, naturally has no reason to keep an eye on the lonely king! .

Mr. Hong, this plan of yours is really a mature way of planning for the country! "

"Hehehehe!"

Hong Chengchou laughed along with him and quickly passed the credit on Dorgon:

"This is all your plan, Master.

The old slave just said what his master meant. "

"Hahaha!"

Dorgon laughed.

He waved to the first-class guard at the door:

"Come on!

Send Shen Zhixiang over! "

Shen Zhixiang's cousin is one of Mao Wenlong's women.

After the Denglai Incident, Mao Wenlong and his family were suppressed again, making military resources even more difficult.

In September of the Wuyin year of Chongzhen (the 11th year of Chongzhen, 1638 AD), the Qing army invaded.

沈志祥带着9个副将、8个参将、18个游击、31个都司、30个守备、40个千总，率大军2500人，投降了皇太极。

However, by this time, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming had already surrendered to the Qing court with artillery and were awarded the title of Sanshun King.

Therefore, Shen Zhixiang, who surrendered late, only received the title of Duke Shun.

After the Battle of Ao'er Dusi and the Battle of the Capital, most of the Liaodong soldiers and horses who surrendered to the Qing army suffered casualties.

The Sanshun Wang family is one dead and one seriously disabled.

Shen Zhixiang, a military-leaning force who was not taken seriously at first, became outstanding under the background of his peers.

After Dorgon went south, Shen Zhixiang also received more and more attention.

Not long after, Shen Zhixiang jogged all the way to the outside of Dorgon's cabin.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, Shen Zhixiang fell to his knees.

He has been a marginalized figure since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Although he has made many contributions, he has never been reused.

Dorgon is better!

Without Dorgon, he would have been on the bench for who knows how long!

Suddenly summoned by his father and the regent, Shen Zhixiang was so surprised that he almost went crazy.

Today's Dorgon is no longer a thousand years old!

After Fang Kala issued the imperial edict that "my father and the regent are like me, princes and foreign ministers will pay homage to the regent with the same etiquette as the emperor", Dorgon became an "unknown" emperor.

"Pfft!"

In the era before "kneeling is easy" was invented, Shen Zhixiang forced his knees to knock on the ground loudly.

(Kneeling Yi was a thing only invented by ministers during the Kangxi period.

It is a knee pad made of cotton to prevent damage to the knees when kowtow.

After all, in "Wo Shengqing", failure to kowtow is a crime of deceiving the emperor;

It is also a crime of great disrespect to keep your knees silent when kneeling. )

"Slave Shen Zhixiang meets the regent of the father of the Qing Dynasty.

Long live my father and the regent! "

Dorgon snorted coldly, but did not let Shen Zhixiang get up, and said calmly:

"Take your headquarters of 2500 troops, and Gu will allocate 1500 troops to you, for a total of 4000 troops. Let me go south along the western line of the canal!"

"what?"

Shen Zhixiang was stunned.

However, without waiting for Shen Zhixiang to ask, Dorgon made the final decision:

"If you encounter the Ming army, be sure to block it halfway.

If you do well, I will make you the king alone, if you do not do well...

Ha ha! "

Dorgon snorted coldly, and Shen Zhixiang kowtowed as if pounding garlic:

"Master, don't worry, my slave understands!"

Dorgon waved:

"Go!"

"The slave retire!"

Shen Zhixiang got up, flapped his horse hoof sleeves a few times, knelt down and kowtowed, then bent down and exited the cabin.

The moment he stepped off Wang's ship, Shen Zhixiang couldn't help laughing:

"My opportunity has come!"

It's just blocking the Ming army!

It’s not like he was allowed to defeat the Ming army!

Shen Zhixiang made up his mind and robbed a lot of money since his family entered the customs.

This time, bring them all!

Even if one hundred thousand silver can only buy one hour...

Can't the army fight?

It's ok!

Let’s throw money at it!

Even if everything goes bankrupt...

He must also complete the tasks assigned to him by his father and the regent!

As long as the master's holy family is still there...

Jiangnan is a wealthy country. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he, the loser of his father and the regent, was still worried about having no money?

In the fat Jiangnan, even if you grab a handful of dirt, you will be extremely rich!

If you rob any county at random, you will have as much wealth as mountains and seas!

……

Li Chengdong went north along the canal, and the army moved very fast.

When the spies reported that Qing troops were blocking the road, there were only more than 30 miles left from the entrance of Xiacun.

"Order:

Attack formation!

Set up the front arrow formation, head out three miles to fight!

The rear army formed a square formation to protect themselves on the spot! "

Li Chengdong was riding on a war horse and waved his hand.

"The main army forms a sagittal formation!

Sagittal formation! "

The flag bearer shouted and passed Li Chengdong's orders to each team.

The army with numerous banners quickly moved into action.

The ships on the canal quickly began to change their formations.

The sagittal array is the frontal array.

Simply put, this is an offensive attacking formation.

To put it in plain language, this kind of sagittal formation can be used to charge and fight at the same time!

It is most suitable for use as a formation-breaking formation.

In this large formation, the long-range weapons are placed at the front of the team.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, due to the widespread use of firearms, artillery troops have become the front-end arms of the sagittal formation.

The fast-moving troops are arranged behind the artillery array.

If it is a front-line heavy artillery that breaks through the enemy's defenses, it is used to charge into the formation.

If the enemy counterattacks, it will be a dogfight.

The disadvantage of this formation is that the tail is weak.

However, there is nothing better than this for breaking formations and attacking enemy camps.
