Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"Emperor lady."

Shunzhi walked into the East Nuan Pavilion of the Compassionate Ning Palace and gave a low cry.

Bumbutai opened his eyes and glanced at Shunzhi, then closed his eyelids and chanted sutras by himself.

The Forbidden Palace is lonely, and Dorgon doesn't come often, Bumbutai can only use the Buddha to calm his mind.

"Emperor Niang." Shunzhi emphasized his tone and said in a deep voice, "I have something to tell you."

"You don't need to say anything." Bumbutai said angrily, "Aijia doesn't want to hear it either."

"Emperor Niang!" Shunzhi raised his tone by two points, and said solemnly, "The Qing Dynasty has reached a critical moment, and as the emperor, I can no longer stay out of it."

"What did Duduo and Luck Dehun tell you?"

The anger on Bumbutai's pretty face is almost uncontrollable. How many times have I told you to keep a low profile and not confront the emperor's father and the regent head-on? You just don't listen, right?
Doduo and Luck Dehun are also worthy of fighting against Dorgon?

If they were really capable, would Dorgon take away their military power so easily?

Even if you tie these county kings Baylor and Beizi who only know how to be fierce and fierce, they are far inferior to Dorgon's little finger. Otherwise, why is Dorgon the emperor's father and regent?
"They didn't say anything." Shunzhi was a little impatient.

"But I already know that the Ming army has already reached Chaoyang Gate."

"I know better that once the city of Beijing falls, the Qing Dynasty will be forever lost."

After a pause, Shunzhi said in a more emphatic tone: "The country of the ancestors cannot be buried in my hands."

"So, you think you can do better than the emperor's father and the regent, right?" Bumbutai's pretty face darkened, "You think you can better control the Eight Banners nobles like Duduo and Luck Dehun , you think you can control Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou better, you think you can defeat the enlightened Chongzhen, right?"

Fulin was speechless for a while, unable to utter a word for a long time.

To be honest, Fulin certainly has no confidence to do better than Dorgon.

As for controlling the Eight Banners nobles like Luck Dehun and the Han officials like Hong Chengchou, it is even more difficult.

After a long while, Fulin weakly retorted: "Isn't there the Queen's Lady who is helping me? Besides, Ye Bilong, Tulai and Yabran are all loyal to me."

Ye Bilong, Tulai, Yabran and others were originally the fierce generals of the two yellow flags.

After Dorgon changed the flag, Yabran and other strong generals of the two yellow flags were transferred to the two white flags.

Now the two yellow flags and the two blue flags are stationed in Yanzhou with Sony, facing Duyinxi, and the two red flags are stationed in Shanhaiguan with Sukesaha. Only the two white flags remain in Beijing.

Because of this, Ye Bilong, Tulai, and Yabulan all stayed in Beijing.

This is where Fulin's confidence lies. If there were no loyal generals under the two yellow banners such as Ye Bilong, Tulai, and Yabulan, Fulin would not have the courage to have strange thoughts about Dorgon.

"Emperor, Queen Mother knows that you are anxious and wants to be in charge as soon as possible."

The expression on Bumbutai's face finally calmed down, and he sighed softly and persuaded: "But there are some things that should not be rushed. The Queen's Lady is just a girl, and she doesn't understand military affairs, so I'm afraid she won't be able to help you."

"As for Ye Bilong, Yabran, and Tulai, there is a message for you from Queen's Lady."

"This is a sentence in Zeng Guangxian Wen. It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger. It is difficult to paint the bones. It means that some people are very loyal and reliable on the surface, but in reality, only God knows."

"This is absolutely impossible." Shunzhi protested, "Ye Bilong and Tulai are not such people!"

"Don't be so absolute." Bumbutai shook his head, and said, "After all, you are still young, you are only 12 years old. After all, Queen Mother has eaten more than 20 years more than you, and she still has a confident look at people. .”

Hearing this, Fulin suddenly deflated like a discouraged ball.

Without the support of Queen Mother, he couldn't do anything.

Bumbutai said again: "Don't forget to pay your respects to your emperor Ama."

"I won't go." Fu Fu left angrily.

Bumbutai could only sigh and shake his head.

……

"Master." Cao Eryu said in a low voice, "There is a message from the palace."

Dorgon continued to read the secret letter in his hand, and asked without raising his head, "What did you say?"

"The emperor is anxious to be in charge, but the empress dowager is determined not to allow it." Cao Eryu said in a low voice, "The empress dowager asked the emperor to greet the master, but the emperor refused to come."

"I don't know him well."

"Just a 12-year-old kid."

"When he is older, he will know how to be grateful."

After a pause, Dorgon said again: "If he can really control the Han officials like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, I really want to return this big mess to him, and I will be happy."

Cao Eryu said again: "My lord, before the Emperor went to the Palace of Compassion, he summoned Tulai, Ye Bilong, Yabulan and other two white flags and more than a dozen fierce generals."

"I know about this." Dorgon said with a smile.

Cao Eryu didn't say anything more, and bowed out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Dorgon turned his eyes to the direction of Jinghai County, and said quietly: "The situation in the capital can be maintained for the time being, but the real winner lies in Jinghai, Hong Chengchou, don't let me down."

……

Hong Chengchou has moved his office to the county government office in Jinghai.

Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, a sand table has been set up.

It took Meng Xueli and Juren from the Juren camp two days to build it.

Hong Chengchou likes this sand table very much, because it is much more intuitive than maps.

What Jiannu used was an ancient map, that kind of symbolic map, the proportions were seriously distorted, and it had no practical reference value. If he used the map to command the battle, it would really confuse people so badly.

The sand table built by Meng Xueli and the others is not only intuitive, but also realistically proportioned.

"So, the main force of the Ming army has arrived at Chaoyangmen?" Hong Chengchou asked.

Bart replied: "Tell me back to Hongbutang, the main force of the Ming army has indeed arrived outside the Chaoyang Gate."

"Okay." Hong Chengchou nodded, picked up a square ruler to measure the distance between Beijing and Jinghai, and then continued talking to himself, "The distance between Beijing and Chenguantun is about [-] miles, and the quickest march requires walking Three days, if there are cavalry raids along the way, it will take more time, at least five days."

Hou Fangyu said sharply: "If the Qing soldiers can take back the blunderbuss platforms on both sides of the Chenguantun Canal within five days, they will be able to cut off the Ming army's grain road, and the Ming army will not even be able to transport a grain of grain to Beijing."

Meng Xueli went on to say: "Once the grain road is cut off, within half a month at most, the Ming army will collapse!"

"Hongbutang, I have a question at the end." Geng Jimao next to him asked, pointing to the sand table, "The gun platforms on both sides of the canal in the Chenguantun section are heavily guarded by the Ming army. Why can't the Qing soldiers avoid the real situation and attack the weak, and attack the other places on the Ming army's grain road?" Small strongholds? These small strongholds only have a few hundred defenders, and it is much easier to seize them."

Hou Fangyu shook his head and said: "Even if these small strongholds are seized, it is useless, because the Qing soldiers cannot dig a trench hundreds of miles long on the vast plain to completely block the traffic from Beijing to Dagukou, but if the Qing Dynasty If soldiers can recapture the gun platforms on both sides of the canal in the Chenguantun section, they can use the canal to completely block traffic, so that the Nanming will not even want to send even a single grain of grain to the Ming army outside Beijing."

Hong Chengchou went on to say: "At that time, the Ming army can only withdraw from Beijing to protect the food road."

Meng Xueli went on to say: "After the Ming army in Chenguantun is attacked, they will definitely ask for help from the main force of the Ming army in Beijing. If there is no accident, the main force of the Ming army in Beijing will return to rescue Chenguantun with a high probability. Then we can form a confrontation with the main force of the Ming army in Chenguantun."

Hou Fangyu said: "If we stand against each other for half a month, the Ming army will inevitably run out of food and collapse."

"It's not that simple." Hong Chengchou waved his hand, and said, "Two things still need to be done, one is to carry out fortification and clearing of Jinghai, Qingxian, Dacheng and Wen'an counties near Chenguantun; Gukou, to prevent the Dagukou Ming army from coming to rescue Chen Guantun."

"As expected of Hong Butang, thinking is thorough."

Hou Fangyu was convinced: "It is only a hundred miles from Dagukou to Chenguantun, and it takes a whole day and night to march quickly. It is really necessary to send a part of the army to contain the Ming army at Dagukou."

Hong Chengchou turned to Kong Youde: "Prince Pingnan, I will trouble you with this matter."

"Hey!" Kong Youde responded with crossed hands, "This king will definitely live up to the entrustment of the ministry."

Hong Chengchou turned his head to Bart again and said, "Commander Bart, please lead the 2 Mongolian Banners to monitor the main force of the Ming army outside Beijing. Once the Ming army turns around and goes south, we will stop it with all our strength."

"Hey!" Bart hugged his chest, then turned around and walked away.

Hong Chengchou said to the rest of the people: "The rest of the battalions prepare separately."

"Hey!" All the generals participating in the military discussion clasped their fists together and went out one after another.

Soon, only Hong Chengchou, Hou Fangyu, and Meng Xueli remained in the hall of the county government office, besides Yao Qisheng and Yu Chenglong, who were arrested by Meng Xueli as staff officers.

Hong Chengchou asked, "Who do you think will be the Ming guard at Chenguantun?"

"You don't need to ask." Meng Xueli said without hesitation, "It must be Yan Yingyuan."

"I also think so." Hou Fangyu said, "If Xu Yingwei is the sharpest spear in Chongzhen's hands, then Yan Yingyuan is the strongest shield in Chongzhen's hands, so Yan Yingyuan must be the guard of Chen Guantun."

"Yan Yingyuan?" Hong Chengchou's eyes turned cold, "I want to see how difficult he is?"

"My lord, Yan Yingyuan has some tricks, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerge one after another, making it impossible to guard against." Hou Fangyu said with a serious face, "The ten kings suffered a great loss under the hands of this man in the battle of Shanyang."

Hong Chengchou said: "Don't worry about Hou Canjun, the Ministry will definitely not despise Yan Yingyuan."

"That's good." Hou Fangyu said in relief, "The lower officials are worrying too much."
