Ming Dynasty, North Zhili, Qing army camp.
Dorgon looked at the report worriedly. He wasn't as carefree as Yue Tuo.
The meticulous him discovered that the resistance of the Ming army and people had suddenly increased a lot, and the number of attacks on his flag men had increased.
He realized that there must be a reason that he did not know.
If things were abnormal, there must be a monster!
But where did this monster appear?
Why did it cause the number of soldiers under his command to be attacked to increase greatly?
Even though he had immediately pulled back his forces, the number of people under attack did not decrease by a large margin. Instead, it stabilized.
It seemed that the resistance of the Ming army was still growing.
Dorgon had already thoroughly studied the mentality of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Ming Dynasty.
If there were no variables, it was almost impossible for the resistance of the Ming army and people to suddenly become so strong.
Thus, after the soldiers under his command were greatly increased, he left a message and sent out his confidants to start investigating around to see if anything major had happened in the Ming Dynasty recently.
There were many major events happening within the Ming Dynasty. If it wasn't a natural disaster here, there would be a peasant army that killed officials and released grain, or Emperor Chongzhen in the capital would start massacring the officials of the court again.
However, there was nothing that could cause the resistance of the Ming army and people to increase greatly.
until
When he saw a rumor, Dorgon's eyes narrowed.
He suddenly understood.
It turned out that this matter did not happen in Great Ming, but in the old nest of Great Qing.
The Golden State Guard's 800 soldiers were all wiped out, and the Golden State Guard's general, Bululu, was dragged to Lushunkou and killed on the spot.
Immediately, he gathered his confidants and asked,"What's with the Li Family Army of the Golden State Guard?”
Hearing this, the confidant thought for a long time and said with some uncertainty,"This is just a rumor among the Han people!”
"It's said that Li Sheng, a remnant of the Dongjiang Army, has occupied the Lushun Peninsula and is frantically building a defense line in the South Pass in an attempt to gain a firm foothold in the Lushun Peninsula.”
"The rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. First, the 800 soldiers of the Golden State Guard were wiped out, and then the general guarding the Golden State Guard was cut into pieces.”
"This looks very much like the imagination of the Han people!”
Dorgon's face turned serious and he said meaningfully,""Do you really think this is a rumor? Is it just the imagination of the Han people?"
The confidant was stunned by the question. With a look of disbelief, he blurted out,"Your Highness, could it be that this matter is true?”
"Don't say that the Dongjiang Army on the border of Liaodong has long since vanished and surrendered to our Qing Dynasty. Even if there were remnants of the Dongjiang Army, they were just a few small fries. How could they have the strength to occupy the entire Lushun Peninsula?”
"Not to mention, you even wiped out all 800 of our Qing Dynasty's soldiers and captured our Qing Dynasty's general alive!”
"On the battlefield, a few hundred soldiers of our Qing Dynasty can chase tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and make them flee in panic!”
"Let alone the remnants of the Dongjiang Army, even if the Great Ming Dynasty sent elites up, they wouldn't be able to do it!”
Dorgon didn't comment. The morale of the Great Ming army had been completely defeated. They were scared out of their wits and had almost no fighting strength to speak of.
This was the truth!
After breaking through the pass and defeating Lu Xiangsheng's troops, Da Ming was almost defenseless in front of the Qing cavalry.
Wherever the Great Qing cavalry passed, the Great Ming soldiers would flee in panic.
They did not dare to accept the challenge at all!
There was no fighting spirit to speak of.
This was the reality.
However, all kinds of unusual signs made him worried. He said with a solemn expression,"There's no smoke without fire!"
If there wasn't news of his soldiers being attacked, he would have treated this as a rumor, a wild fantasy of the Han people.
If they couldn't defeat the Great Qing cavalry on the battlefield, wouldn't the Han people be allowed to fantasize about it?
However, all the signs showed that this was not a rumor or the imagination of the Han people.
The confidant's expression changed when he heard this. He said in disbelief,"Your Highness, could it be that the rumors of the Han people are true?”
" What right do they have?!"
Yes, why?
The Dongjiang Army had no weapons or population.
How could they seize Lushun Peninsula from the hands of the Qing Dynasty?
How could they annihilate the 800 soldiers of the Qing Dynasty?
They knew their own business.
800 Banner Soldiers seemed to be a small number, but where 800 Banner Soldiers appeared, it meant thousands of Han soldiers and tens of thousands of Han serfs!
And this was the least.
? He might even pull the Mongolian cavaliers in.
Eight hundred soldiers represented an army, an army of ten thousand soldiers!
If even the Banner Guards were wiped out, would the other Han soldiers and serfs still exist?
This meant that an army of more than ten thousand soldiers had been completely annihilated!
This was an unsolved case.
Dorgon only knew that there was no smoke without fire, but he couldn't figure out how the Li Family Army could do this even if he wanted to explode his head!
There was too little information about the Li family's army!
There was no one who was accurate.
It was all Han rumors!
Rumors, after all sorts of processing and crazy exaggeration, had long been out of touch with reality.
Today, 800 were destroyed, but tomorrow, there might be 8,000!
It was very unbelievable!
"There is no smoke without fire. Quickly send people to investigate the specific situation of the Li family's army!”
In the end, Dorgon decided to continue gathering information.
The trusted aide nodded, but his heart was also filled with doubt.
One came from Shengjing, a secret letter from Huang Taiji.
The Emperor had sent a secret letter to the generals at the front line. It was obvious that something big had happened.
Even if the Manchu regulations were not standardized at all, the general direction would not be too different.
Dorgon's expression changed. He took the letter and read it one by one.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was unsightly and filled with worry.
He became worried.
"Your Highness?"
The confidant looked at his expression and felt uneasy.
Dorgon raised his head and looked northeast. Across the vast sea, the Golden State Guard was in that direction.
" It's been confirmed!" he said with an ugly expression." The rumors aren't just rumors. The truth is even worse than we imagined!"”
"The Golden State Guard's 800 Banner Soldiers were all wiped out, and the Defending General Bululu was dismembered!”
"The Li family army went north from the Southern Pass and slaughtered all the clansmen of our Golden State Guard. Now, they have even killed their way into the Fu Province Guard.”
"The Li family's army is more mysterious than we thought. They are more powerful and cruel!”
"The entire imperial court is furious and has decided to send an army south to encircle and annihilate them!”
"The emperor has ordered us to strictly seal off the news and not allow the morale of the frontline army to waver."
The confidant was shocked and secretly heaved a sigh of relief."With the importance of the Qing Dynasty, with the army pressing down on the border, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Li family army and eradicate them, right?”
Dorgon didn't say anything. He was worried that things weren't that simple.
This Li Family Army that suddenly appeared was like a well-prepared hunter. He made all kinds of plans and set up a lot of traps.
The Qing Dynasty was like an enraged prey, charging forward angrily and barging into the hunter's trap.
