    The situation is great!  Dorgon issued another edict, ordering Wu Sangui to go south immediately. Tan Tai's 38,000 bannermen could serve as a partial division and could cooperate with him in fighting. When the edict arrived in Xuzhou, Wu Sangui opened the incense case and respectfully received the edict, returning to his commander's office.  Behind the tent, he slapped the table and cursed loudly.  "Bullshit! The Eight Banners soldiers are finished. They are more powerful than our Guan Ning cavalry in killing good people and taking credit. I don't think the Qing Dynasty will last!" On Wu Sangui's desk, there was a completely different piece of information.  According to the scouts' investigation, Tan Tai's troops did not capture the main force of the Yuyuan Army at all. Seeing the Qing army's incoming force, the other side took the initiative to withdraw deep into the Dabie Mountains without waiting for a battle. The Yuyuan Army captured by Tan Tai fell behind sporadically.  Tan Tai's small force, with a total of only two to three hundred people at most, had the idea of ????killing good people and taking credit. However, the nearby people had either joined the Yuyuan Army or fled. Tan Tai could not find enough heads, so he simply  He slaughtered a few villages that knelt down to welcome the king's master, and beheaded all the good people who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Only then did he achieve the glorious record of beheading thousands of people.  "It's too much. I never did such a thing back then! As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. The village elders who like wine and food come to reward Master Wang, but you treat them as rebels and kill them. This is not forced  Are the people rebelling? " Wu Sangui was filled with righteous indignation. He didn't feel guilty at all when he scolded Tan Tai. Although he was famous for running away from battle and killing good people for taking credit, at least he never massacred the villagers who offered money and food. Even if he later became  Although he was a traitor, he also paid great attention to maintaining a good reputation and packaged himself as a traitor with difficult reasons. Only for various compelling reasons did he surrender to the Qing army during the Jiashen Incident.  Emperor Chongzhen is dead, and Li Zicheng, a rebel, has occupied Beijing. I want to avenge my father, but I can't do it alone, so I have to borrow prisoners to fight against the thieves Li Zicheng killed my father and robbed my woman. Under the hatred of the country and the family, I  He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty on impulse In short, Wu Sangui's image in the minds of the gentry and the common people at this time was still very positive. In another time and space, it was not until he strangled Emperor Yongli to death with a bowstring that he became a notorious figure.  Big traitor.  "I didn't expect that in just a few years after entering the customs, the Eight Banners soldiers would become like this. This colorful world in Beijing is really a gentle hometown, a grave of heroes!" Wu Sangui was lamenting while scolding.  If it had been ten years ago, such a thing would definitely not have happened. At that time, the Eight Banners soldiers had very strict military discipline. If any army dared to lie about military merit, countless heads would be chopped off. But today's Eight Banners soldiers are not only used to killing  They exaggerated their results and performed very badly in other aspects. The quality of the soldiers was low, the military aircraft were lax, and the troops moved slowly. After the 38,000 bannermen went out in force, various problems continued one after another, just like the old  They walked around like an ox pulling a broken cart, lying down and having diarrhea at every turn, so they were easily broken through by the grass bandits of the Yuyuan Army and fled into the Dabie Mountains.  "The children of the Eight Banners of this generation have never experienced hardship since childhood. They ride horses and shoot arrows on weekdays just for fun and show off. They are useless on the battlefield." Xia Guoxiang recently visited Beijing and saw with his own eyes what the life of the Eight Banners children is like now.  Days, I feel this most deeply.  The Manchus originated from the white mountains and black waters. The environment was harsh and survival was difficult. They were as ferocious as hungry wolves and tigers in order to survive. However, as long as this generation of Eight Banners disciples can remember, the Manchus had already risen, and their living conditions had greatly improved. Later, they followed  My parents came to Beijing and lived a life of wealth and wealth that they had never imagined. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The older generation of Eight Banners soldiers were killed or wounded and retired. The children of this generation of Eight Banners were all around 20 years old, just in time to take over and enlist in the army. However,  They are like the wolves and tigers that grew up in the zoo. Although they still have the genes of ferocious beasts, they can no longer hunt.  ??Ten years have passed, this generation of Eight Banners disciples has been ruined!  "Even if these new recruits are useless, Tan Tai has many veteran generals and veterans under him during this expedition. How could he be so miserable?" Many of Wu Sangui's generals had fought with the Eight Banners soldiers. Under the prestige of that year,  I still can't believe that the invincible Eight Banners soldiers have turned into a weak army.  Wu Sangui shook his head and replied: "If the veterans lose too many battles, they will become a group of veteran veterans, worse than new recruits. Alas, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place" After being defeated several times by the Chu army, the older generation  The disciples of the Eight Banners have also been abolished!  Wu Sangui regretted it very much. If he had known this result, he should not have surrendered to the Manchus in the first place. He wanted strength and fame back then. If he had retreated to the south and persisted in resisting, Wang Kefan might not have had anything to do now. What a pity.  How many senior heroes have fallen into disgrace, only to be transformed by this young boy.  Wu Sangui suddenly found that he was full of envy and jealousy towards Wang Kefan. This man was from a mediocre background, but he seized the opportunity in troubled times and took advantage of the situation. He seemed to be a three-pointer.A temporary tycoon who is one of the most powerful will sooner or later sit on the throne of the emperor. This is so enviable!  My starting point is much higher than Wang Kefan's, and he did not hesitate to betray his ancestors and become a traitor. Now he has become a Pingxi King. He still has no clue where the vassal state is. He always depends on the Qing court's face to act. It's really like comparing people to each other.  Infuriating.  "The imperial decree tells me to send troops to go south. Okay, then we will go south. But you all have to remember that the Eight Banners soldiers are unreliable, so you have to be careful at all times." Wu Sangui thought about it and decided to send troops to Fengyang Mansion.  Lian's Third Army of the Northern Expedition was an army in name, but actually only had one division. In addition, there were 10,000 troops sent by Jin Shenghuan. Generally speaking, it was not strong.  Yangcheng suffered several setbacks.  By using Jiao Lian's Third Army of the Northern Expedition, he could not only give an account to the Qing court, but also avoid the main force of the Chu army. He did not need to use too many troops. He only sent Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong and other "Hexi Four Generals" Lao Qin  The army can go out to fight, and Wu Sangui's direct troops follow far behind. If they find something wrong, they can withdraw to Xuzhou at any time.  "The imperial court ordered our army to counterattack Jianghuai, but now we only send a partial army to Fengyang. I'm afraid it can't be justified." Xia Guoxiang expressed concern.  "What are you afraid of? Tan Tai dares to kill Liang Liang and take credit. Is it wrong for our army to take the initiative to attack and relieve Fengyang? Don't worry, if Dorgon asks, I will explain it to him." Wu Sangui was confident in his argument.  With his ability to avoid fighting, Guan Ning's cavalry dared to claim to be second, but no one in the world dared to claim to be number one. With the rich experience of Wu Da's commander-in-chief, he could find any reason to make Dorgon speechless.  As expected, Wu Sangui's memorial was sent to Beijing, and Dorgon quickly approved his battle plan. The imperial edict returned to Xuzhou, without any accusations against Wu Sangui, and with many words of advice and encouragement.  Dorgon could actually see through Wu Sangui at a glance, but he knew better than Wu Sangui how bad the Eight Banners soldiers were. Without enough strength, he would not have the confidence to say harsh words, so he could only coax and deceive.  Let Wu Sangui work hard.  Wait, wait, wait until this generation of Eight Banners disciples are trained, wait until the next generation of Eight Banners disciples grow up, wait until the population of the Qing Dynasty can easily recruit an army of 100,000, it will be easy to defeat Wu Sangui, even if he sets up a vassal state  In northern Jiangsu or Anhui north of the Yangtze River, Dorgon dared to agree.  Sending Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong to attack Anhui first was a good move strategically. Although it went in a circle and did not directly push the Chu army back to the Yangtze River line, it cleared the flank threats first and at the same time could  Echoing Tunbuer who is still sticking to Anqing, and Kong Youde who is sticking to Wuchang.  In fact, Kong Youde and Tuenbu'er were trapped in isolated cities and could no longer hold on. Wuchang and Anqing were both large cities with high walls and thick walls. They also had a lot of grain and grass reserves in the city. However, after being surrounded by the Chu army for a year, the military morale in the city was reduced.  Morale is shaky. If we continue to ignore it, sooner or later it will fall like Jiujiang.  Apart from Nanjing, Wuchang and Anqing are the largest cities along the Yangtze River. Even Chongqing in the upper reaches is slightly inferior to them. It is like two nails stuck in the Chu army's territory. Dorgon hesitated whether to borrow  Seize the opportunity of this counterattack to withdraw Kong Youde and Tuenbu'er - if you want to achieve the goal of dividing the river and governing it, you must firmly control these two cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the hands of the Qing army, otherwise the division will  There was no way to talk about Jiang Erzhi, but after seeing the performance of Tan Tai and Wu Sangui, Dorgon was not so confident.  Dorgon also heard some rumors about the little tricks Tan Tai and his soldiers made. He just didn't want to point it out, and he didn't dare to point it out. He could kill Azig easily, but he couldn't make enemies of all the Manchus.  Before this expedition, the Eight Banners recruited their children and urgently expanded the army. Almost all the younger generation of Eight Banners children were in Tan Tai's army. Behind the 30,000 army, there were 30,000 Manchu families. What is the population of the entire Manchu family now?  Everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with chopping off the heads of some Han people to help their own children earn a better future. Even Dorgon's closest confidants advised him not to pursue the matter.  Think about the overall situation.  Dorgon had no choice but to give in in the end, just like a parent who found out that his son had been skipping school this week and wanted to slap him to death. But looking at his size, his son was taller than him. He couldn't hit him because he was so big.  She silently recited in her heart that she was born by me, and then she put on a smile, pretended to be a good and reasonable mother, and deceived her son to go home first.  Dorgon issued an order to commend Tan Tai and other meritorious soldiers.  In another edict, Dorgon once again urged Wu Sangui to send troops as soon as possible to rescue Fengyang and open up contact with Anqing.  Bargaining?  It's too risky to ask me to rescue Anqing.  Wu Sangui soon wrote another memorial, claiming that Fengyang was too far from Anqing and Anqing was too close to Nanjing. If he rashly went to Anqing, if the Chu army crossed the river to attack, the battle would be futile.We should be cautious, first relieve the siege of Fengyang, and then look for opportunities to relieve the siege of Anqing. I respectfully ask the emperor and the regent to take a closer look.  With such trivial matters going back and forth, another half month has passed. Dorgon rushed eight hundred miles away and issued another decree to Wu Sangui. There was only one sentence in the decree: It's all up to you, send troops quickly!
