Consider it, consider going, Kong Youde and Shang are happy to finally decide or wait, look at the wind direction, Chu Jun and the Western Army this war is very important, not only will determine the ownership of the lake, but also may determine the general trend of the world, stay in Wuchang and the possibility of fish in the water, the evacuation of Wuchang will be completely no chance.

Since the risk of staying in Wuchang, it is necessary to take the opportunity and the Qing court to put forward the conditions, to be beneficial, Kong Yude and Shang are happy to be uninterested in the emptiness of the territory of the country, but only to urge the Qing court to open the three gates between Henan and Hubei, and rebuild to the supply line of Wuchang.They wrote a letter to Dorgon, expressed their willingness to continue to adhere to Wuchang, but the Chu army is difficult to resist, the Western army is determined that if there is not enough supplies and reinforcements, the fall of Wuchang is only a matter of time, or should give up Wuchang as soon as possible, withdraw to Henan or Anhui.

The subtext of this letter is that if we do not open the supply line from Henan to Wuchang, we may withdraw at any time and give up Wuchang.

The play was sent to Beijing, Dorgon was almost stroked, Wu Sangui had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for several years, has not been fed to understand, Kong Youde and the monk are happy but after Mao Wenlong's death has surrendered the old man, Manqing has already regarded them as half of their own slave, how can they now dare to talk to the master so?

Not my people, their hearts will be different.

Dorgon felt that the Han people's words were very reasonable.

Kong Youde and the monk are pleased to ask for the supply line from Henan to Wuchang, which seems to be to stick to Wuchang, but why not leave a back road for himself?Dorgon could be sure that the two of them would withdraw to Henan without hesitation.

These two slaves are so damned!Dorgon immediately followed another decree, eight hundred miles anxiously told Kong to be pleased with the monk, let them rest assured that the court would not be able to send troops from Henan, open the passage into Hubei, for Wuchang to send a steady stream of military supplies and reinforcements - some things can not be put on the table, no matter what small calculation of Kong and Shang happily play, their requirements are reasonable in the face.

While the Chu army is fighting fiercely with the Western army, stabbed a knife from behind, it should be difficult to open the three levels of Yiyang, but the money and grain supplies required by Kong Yide are very headaches for Dorgon.The army moved, cost millions, just to Wu Sangui and Tan Tai to raise the money grain military demand, has hollowed out the Qing court's home base, if this battle can not end in a short period of time, the next stage of the required food also have to collect taxes, and then no money grain sent to Wuchang, Dorgon repeatedly considered, and finally decided to take the merchant Jia knife.

The general small vendors of oil and water is not large, Dorgon is eyeing, is the salt merchants of Jianghuai, and the promotion of Shanxi.

The Qing court inherited the policy of monopoly of the salt industry in the Ming Dynasty, through this policy, Jianghuai salt merchants made their fortunes, left hand to sell salt, right hand to sell food, the head of the transport is these salt merchants, behind them, there are many Wang Gongxun to do the background, after the Nanjing battle and the next three northernfall, Jianghuai salt merchants lost heavily, but the thin dead camels are bigger than the horse, and the northern salt merchants in the north.They don’t have a lot of money to do it.

Shanxi's Jinshang are all mercenary, bold, bold and talented, when they have not yet entered the gate, they are the people of Daming, from the grassland to the enemy countries smuggling food, iron, etc., and now become the people of the Qing, and Nanming started a smuggling business, only with this crime, you can copy them to ask for sin.

Of course, now the salt merchants and the promotion of the knife, some of the time is not right, as if the pig is left for the New Year, it is a pity to kill without fat, but Dorgon has not cared for these.

Money and food generally have a place, the remaining gap in accordance with the Qing army for many years of the old tradition, ordered Kong Yude and monk "to eat on the enemy", no food to eat, to rob the people, Dorgon from Tan Tai hand down an eight-flag soldier to Henan, coupled with Henan local green camp, patchworked nearly 20,000 horses, ready to launch an attack on Yiyang Sanguan.

The Holy Spirit was sent to Wuchang, and the monk was happy and happy, and worried.

The Qing court to open the supply line to Wuchang, of course, is a happy event, but also ordered Kong to be proud to send troops north at the same time, seize the sense of filial piety and other places, with the Henan Qing army hit Yiyang Sanguan, this request is reasonable, Kong Yude and Shang is gratified no reason to refuse.

We really don’t want to go out of town!

Not to mention the capture of filial piety, that is, every time from Hanyang to Wuchang, Shang Kexi has taken a great risk, with the fall of Jiujiang and other places, the Qing army's sailors were all eliminated, the Chu army water division completely controlled the Yangtze River and Han water such a tributary, it is still gratified every time to come to Wuchang, we must sneak across the river at night, if sent a troop swaggered north, once the Chu army will be copied.

And the "food for the enemy" order, is also like a child's play, Dorgon does not know that we have been in the lake for more than a year of fighting, this year has been on the food of the enemy, Hubei people, can grab the long time, now want to rob can not grab, unless you defeat the Western army or Chu army, from their hands may also grab some food, but if we have this ability, why also to the back for help?

"Take a step to see, the court can hardly send reinforcements, once thought that things can't be done, certainly shrink back, we may wish to send some people out of the city to fight the grass valley, and then report him a sense of filial piety."Although he did not know that Tan Tai had done similar things, since Bo Luo marched into Fujian for three years, the Qing army has begun to kill and exaggerate the results of the war, so when this proposal was put forward, there was no psychological burden.

"Only one sense of filial piety, or not enough."Confucius sighed for a moment and shook his head resolutely: "No, you can't just report filial piety, you should first report filial piety, and then report filial piety to lose."That is to say, after my army captured the sense of filial piety, it was attacked by the friendly army Li Dingguo, and he could only return to Wuchang, and after Li Dingguo captured the sense of filial piety, he led the 50,000 troops to continue north, with the intention of marching into Henan and deer in the original.

"..." was still happy for a moment, suddenly patting his thighs: "Brother Wang Ming!The court is determined to restore the luck, only sent 20,000 divisions to save Wuchang, a cup of water, in case of the main force of the West Thieves and Chu Thieves, I will be more difficult to get out in the future, if I learn that the West Thieves tried to march into Henan, the royal father and the regent will increase their troops and reverse the war in Hubei!"

"Yes, when this storm is blowing, the wrong step, immediately is to be doomed, self-help, God save, you and my brother can't sit still, small changes are also for the sake of the court's big picture."Hubei is the center of the world, get the world, can not fall into the hands of the thieves, the court will soldiers and horses money and food to use here, it is better to barely restore the luck, the Beijing master of the hundreds of thousands of people who eat white food."

Unlike Wu Sangui at both ends of the rat, Kong Youde and Shang are gratified that they did not betray the Qing court's intention, but looking at the overall strategic arrangement of Dorgon, the two of them vaguely have the tendency to be treated as abandoned children, and they are really unwilling to stay in Wuchang and die.

Speaking of them, they are also clear-eyed, but I hope that the Qing court will focus on the strategic direction to Hubei, just like the office politics of future generations, everyone feels that their work is the most important, everyone else is rowing and touching fish, in the eyes of Kong and De and Shang, Huguang is more important than Jianghuai, what is broken, anyway, it has been broken for a year, the Beijing Master has not seen the starving people, we have been in Hubei this year.

In addition, they also want to consider their own future, the original Sanshun Wang Yishun Gong together south of the lake, and now only Kong and De and Shang Yixi two people guarded in Wuchang and Hanyang, followed by their own subordinates for many years also casualties, pay so much price, and finally was picked peaches by the Western army, they really can not accept, a small coaxing to deceive the court, so that Dorgon sent a large number of reinforcements, they can stand in Hubei, and even build their own country.

The plan has been decided, Kong Yude and the monk are ready to send a force, to the filial piety near a circle, do a play, let the three army generals know that there is a sense of filial piety, how to codify the words in the future, in the heart of the two of them are still a little afraid of the Qing court, not as unscrupulous as Wu Sangui.

Li Dingguo is attacking Jingzhou on the edge of the Yangtze River, the sense of filial piety is still under the control of Chu Jun, Kong Youde and the monk are pleased to be ready after the troops are ready, waiting for Li Dingguo to win Jingzhou City, immediately sent out the sense of filial piety.

Unexpectedly, the Chu army's resistance unexpectedly tenacity, according to the city to adhere to, in the cooperation of the water division several times to withdraw Li Dingguo's attack, the Western army because there is no water division to cooperate, always can not cut the Jingzhou and outside the city contact, although Li Dingguo's attack is sharp, even once attacked Jingzhou City, and finally was assisted by a steady stream of Chu army back.

The war in Jingzhou was stuck for a while.

"Li Dingguo and Sun Hope, Liu Wenxiu are the same name, I did not expect such a bad thing, alas!If the change of grandson is expected to come, I am afraid that I have already won Jingzhou, right?”Kong Youde on Li Dingguo, the "medyel" really hates iron and steel, and would like to personally fight for him, commanding the battle for him, in this space-time, Li Dingguo has not achieved the glorious achievements of the two famous kings, in the eyes of outsiders, he is expected to be slightly inferior to the most famous grandson.

"Don't worry, wait and see."Shang Kexie mouth said not in a hurry, in fact, more than Kong Yide is still anxious, all their plans, are based on the Western army can defeat the Chu army, if Li Dingguo even Jingzhou can not take down, it is better to give up Wuchang and Hanyang as soon as possible, and quickly escape for life.
