Dorgon's idea was good, but the reality was very cruel. Zhao Hongyu couldn't follow his ideas, so Dorgon's little plan eventually went bankrupt.
When Zhao Hongyu led his army to press against the border of Goryeo, and the forwards had begun to clash with the small Eight Banners Army led by Dorgon and others, Dorgon knew that he could not hide this time.
Yes, I just can¡¯t hide.
On their east side, the Koreans were on the defensive, and the elite Eight Banners and 150,000 Eight Banners were a little tired and needed to rest after fighting until now.
The number of troops led by Zhao Hongyu also exceeded 100,000, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
Especially Dorgon knows that they do not have any geographical advantage now.
After all, the area where the two sides are going to fight belongs to the Korean people.
Although the 150,000 Eight Banners Army captured half of the territory of Korea, these territories are not yet so stable. Some small groups of Korean resistance forces are still causing harassment to the Eight Banners Army.
Under such circumstances, Dorgon had to call back the scattered troops and shrink all the strength in his hands to prepare for a decisive battle with the imperial army led by Zhao Hongyu.
After all, the decisive battle is inevitable, and it is related to the life and death of their last Eight Banners elite. Therefore, Dorgon had to do his best to ensure that his army was at its strongest.
As long as the Imperial Army can be defeated, Dorgon believes that he can get a chance to breathe and recuperate on the territory he occupied in the Koryo Kingdom.
As long as you give him some time, the crisis will pass.
It¡¯s just that Dorgon doesn¡¯t understand what kind of opponent he is facing.
Therefore, these ideas of his are destined to be shattered.
But no matter what, Dorgon is still doing his best to shrink the army at this moment.
"The vanguard led by Daishan has arrived and set up camp thirty miles away from where our army is stationed. It doesn't look like we are going to attack soon, so should we take the initiative now and show Daishan how powerful he is?"
In the military camp where Dorgon belonged, according to the information from the spies, Dorgon convened a group of noble commanders to discuss how to deal with it.
At this time, Dorgon's status obviously determined his position as the commander-in-chief of everyone.
Sitting next to Dorgon was his younger brother Duduo.
The two brothers can now be said to have the strongest strength among these people.
therefore. The two brothers sat in a more conspicuous position without hesitation. At first glance, they were in the position of being in charge.
Among the 150,000 troops sent out for the expedition, the brothers directly controlled 50,000 troops. Among them, the army controlled by his subordinates totaled more than 30,000 people.
??????? This calculation means that the two brothers can command more than half of the troops.
Therefore, the two brothers are now in charge. Of course the nobles and nobles below will have no objections.
After all, the strength of these two brothers lies there.
At the same time, they also received the news from Shengjing.
Huang Taiji is dead. The entire post-Jin Kingdom no longer exists.
It can be said that the last military power of Hou Jin Dynasty was these people.
So, in this case. They really need someone to stand up and take charge and lead everyone to find a way to survive.
So, Dorgon is obviously the person in charge.
If it were anyone else. Everyone may not be convinced either.
But Dorgon is different. No matter his identity or status, or even the army he has at his disposal, people are speechless.
Therefore, after the Jin Kingdom was overthrown by Zhao Hongyu, Dorgon became the talker of this 150,000-banner army.
Dorgon certainly did not refuse this. After all, in this current situation, it is not the time to be polite.
"This bastard, Daishan, actually betrayed me, Houjin, and my father! I declare that from now on, Daishan will not belong to our Aixinjueluo family!"
Speaking of Daishan, Dorgon's face showed a ferocious expression of hatred.
Not only Dorgon, but also Duoduo and other nobles and governors, most of them also showed resentment and gnashing of teeth.
It can be seen that the fact that Daishan surrendered to the Song people and turned around to lead his army to attack his own people made Dorgon and the others really hate them to the extreme.
Of course, most people will have this reaction to traitors.??
Especially if the traitor is still in a high position, it will make people even more resentful.
"Fourteen Baylor, this is not the time to talk. Now Daishan has led an army of 60,000 and is approaching our army thirty miles away. We have to think about how to defeat him."
There was a governor below with a white flag standing up at this time, reminding Dorgon that this was the time to think about business, not to gnash his teeth.
Dorgon nodded: "Okay, everyone, please tell us what you think. Now we are all in the same boat. If this battle is lost, I think everyone will know the outcome."
After hearing what Dorgon said, everyone became quiet.
Yes, just like Dorgon said, if they are defeated, of course everyone will know the outcome.
As a loser, anything can happen to you.
Some people even think of the evil things they did when they invaded the Ming Dynasty and captured the city.
Therefore, many people trembled.
"It's good to kill others, but it's obviously not that happy when it's your turn."
So, once they are defeated by Daishan or Song people, the fate of these people will definitely be bad.
People in the Song Dynasty are different from people in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows this very well.
Many of you here have fought against the Song people and know that after the Song people defeated the Eight Banners Army, what they did most was massacre.
Yes, they were not merciless in killing, and were no different from those done by the Eight Banners Army.
"Dai Shan's army has not yet established a stable foothold. I wonder if we can sneak into camp in the middle of the night. It might be miraculous."
Duduo, who was sitting at Dorgon's lower left hand position, rolled his eyes and suggested.
Since the great Nurhaci, people in the Hou Jin Dynasty have learned a lot of things from the Central Plains, especially various military arts. Even in their spare time, they, the Manchu high-ranking officials, like to watch things like "Three Kingdoms" Of books.
It¡¯s just that most of these people read military books. But he was dismissive of other things in Ming Dynasty.
"For example, Daishan, as a forward, fought all the way to camp thirty miles away. Obviously his team must be very tired.
Furthermore, it is impossible for them to be more familiar with the environment here than Dorgon and the others. After all, Dorgon and others have been fighting wars in Goryeo for a long time.
Therefore, when it comes to familiarity with the environment, it is definitely better than Daishan.
So, Duduo¡¯s proposal is not unfeasible.
Dorgon narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He quickly calculated in his mind how feasible his brother's proposal was.
Moreover, Dorgon also knew something about the Manchu troops controlled by Daishan.
" They were just old and weak people that Huang Taiji put together temporarily. In terms of combat effectiveness, they could not be the same as the elite Eight Banners under his command.
In fact, what made Dorgon and others feel threatened and feared were the 30,000 elite Song people led by Zhao Hongyu and the 30,000 Kyushu Japanese soldiers who had super strong fighting will.
only. Because Zhao Hongyu wanted to control Shengjing, he left 10,000 elite imperial troops and 10,000 Kyushu Japanese soldiers stationed to cooperate with some troops from Mongolia.
so. Zhao Hong has on hand, and there are not many elite troops.
However, even so, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
at this point. People like Dorgon and others who have suffered heavy losses from the Imperial Army know it very well.
They are right to be afraid of fighting the Imperial Army. After all, they have suffered too many losses. But Dorgon and the others were not so afraid of the troops led by Daishan.
The teams on both sides are of the same race, and they all know the basics.
What¡¯s more, the troops under his command are still the elite among the Eight Banners.
Therefore, how can we be stronger than the more than 60,000 old and weak people led by Daishan?
"Where are the elite troops of the Song Dynasty now?"
After Dorgon thought for a while, he did not immediately decide whether to implement Duduo's proposal. Instead, he asked people if anyone knew where the elite troops of the Song Empire led by Zhao Hongyu were now.
Since Daishan¡¯s army is the vanguard, it must be the fastest.
In other words, the elite Imperial Army led by Zhao Hongyu are still some distance away from Daishandu.
If it can be known that the elite troops of the Song Dynasty will not be able to reach the location of Daishan Department in a short period of time, then the feasibility of Duduo's proposal will be greatly improved.few.
In other words, if you want to implement Duduo's proposal, the first thing you should worry about is where the elite people of the Song Dynasty are.
Hearing this, Duduo quickly understood what his brother meant, then turned around and glanced at him.
A Manchu Dutong who was in charge of burning charcoal felt Duduo¡¯s gaze and immediately stood up to reply.
"Report to Fourteen Baylor. I haven't received any news about this yet, but spies have been sent out. As long as there is news, I will definitely report it."
Dorgon couldn't help but be disappointed with this answer.
Because for him, the elite main force of the Song people is what worries him the most.
As for the Daishan Department, Heng Heng, in his eyes they are just a bunch of rabble.
"If there is no news about the main force of the Song people before dark, then I don't think you need to think about your proposal." Dorgon looked at his younger brother Duduo and said. After speaking, he looked at everyone again: "So, apart from the night attack, do you have any other suggestions?"
Everyone could see that Dorgon was actually very moved by Duduode's proposal.
It¡¯s just that he is worried about not grasping the movements of the elite troops of the Song Dynasty, so he can¡¯t make up his mind yet.
But one thing is certain, that is, Dorgon was very inclined to get rid of the great traitor Daishan of the Later Jin Dynasty before the elite troops of the Song Dynasty arrived.
So, when Dorgon¡¯s words came to light, everyone began to think about it (To be continued)
