Chapter 288
When Dorgon gathered these people, he found that these people were dejected.
This is also normal. I live a good life in the capital, but who knows that I will be sent to the battlefield suddenly, and it will be uncomfortable if anyone else.
In order to inspire morale, Dorgon made a promise to these people that as long as they could retreat from the Southern Ming army, no matter which city they fought, even if they fought in Nanjing, they would allow them to rob for three days.
Within these three days, whether it is the official warehouse of the Southern Ming Dynasty or the private storage of the landlord Laocai, as long as you can find it, all these things are yours, and the court will not share you with a penny.
When the news came out, in addition to these 30,000 people, there were thousands more people in the capital. Of course, all of these people joined the army for money.
Since occupying the capital, such robbery has not been allowed. After all, Dorgon wanted to occupy the world, but in order to inspire the morale of these people, Dorgon brought out the old trick.
And these people have long forgotten that they are a Han man and have lived a life of a person, and their minds are full of thoughts on how to rob their compatriots.
Now everything is ready, and only the east wind is needed. As long as Prince Zheng Jierharang is ready, this army can go to the battlefield in Shandong.
Who knew that when I woke up the next morning, Dorgon received a report from Shandong in his bedroom.
The report was covered with blood, and it was sent by Shandong Governor Fang Dayou.
This was also the last report issued by Fang Dayou. After occupying Tai'an Prefecture, the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty bypassed Mount Tai overnight and attacked Jinan Prefecture from the east.
None of the troops from Shandong received news. When they were about to resist, it was too late. Fang Dayou was beheaded by the Southern Ming court shortly after he finished writing this letter.
When Dorgon saw this memorial, he was so excited that he didn't even change his clothes. He couldn't believe the speed.
The most powerful thing about the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was its speed. It could rush hundreds of miles in one night, but did the Southern Ming court also have such ability? Aren’t they all infantry?
Aren’t their offensive methods step by step? What’s going on?
Moreover, when Fang Dayou was dying, he said that Jinan Prefecture was definitely not the end of these people. According to Fang Dayou's speculation, after they took Jinan Prefecture, they pointed the finger at Dezhou Prefecture.
Dezhou Prefecture is bordered by Hebei Township. Once Dezhou Prefecture is taken down, it will be equivalent to entering the territory of Zhili.
So far away from the capital...
Dorgon couldn't imagine that scene. If it really reached that level, perhaps those who called him up every morning would not be these slaves. It was very likely that they were cannons from the Southern Ming court, and those people could do anything.
"Go and pass the order quickly. Shandong will soon be unable to defend it. I will give Prince Zheng two hours and must take the army to set off for me. If it takes a cup of tea tonight, I will ask his head to report this letter to him."
In order to avoid such a situation, Dorgon has no other way now, so he can only let Prince Zheng get on the road as soon as possible.
After Prince Zheng's army arrived in Dezhou, it could still be stopped. If they continued to procrastinate in the capital, maybe they would not have waited for them to set off, the army of the Southern Ming court would have reached Tongzhou, and they would have been a big fuck at that time.
There are not many shops opening in the morning in the capital, but more than a dozen fast horses rushed out of the prince's mansion, and the people on both sides were no longer surprised by this situation.
It seems that the Regent issued another emergency order, otherwise the guards would not have been like this. Judging from their appearance, it would be like this to treat this place as a grassland.
The guards rushed to Prince Zheng's mansion as fast as possible. Jillharang was preparing to go to Shandong to fight at the slowest speed, but after seeing this report, the guy was also cold all over. Why did he progress so quickly?
The combat plans formulated earlier have now become waste paper. I used to think about finding Fang Dayou to learn about the situation, but now I still know what it is.
"Father, this Shandong is really dangerous. Should I push it?"
The eldest prince of Prince Zheng's mansion is already eighteen years old. He followed his father to do things in the court. He is pretty good at doing things, but he is just too immature.
"What are you talking about? Since Dorgon has forced me to this corner, how could he make us fuss? This time I only brought fifteen guards of the royal palace, and everyone else asked them to stay here. The capital city will be in chaos in the future, and no one on his hands will do it."
Prince Zheng has seen many turmoils, so the first thing he thinks about now is his family, the oldest and youngest.
The enemy has arrived in Texas, and maybe one day it will be able to reach the capital. If he is defeated, his son will still not be able to support him without himself in the palace.
"Why did my father make such a arrangement? Now I am taking them to the battlefield to make achievements. After all, the capital is far away from the battlefield, so there will be no turmoil, right?"
The eldest prince himself couldn't explain what he was thinking.
"It seems that I have to leave today. Remember me. First, transport the elderly and children in my family back to Liaodong, and the gold, silver, fine and soft things, find a proper person to transport them all back to the capital. Everything is the same as before. Don't let others see it. If it's okay, find a chance to transport it back. If there is something wrong, take off the clothes of the prince of the royal family and mix with the refugees to return to Liaodong."
After hearing Prince Zheng's words, the eldest prince was so scared that he couldn't speak. In his impression, even if the Qing court encountered a little setback, he wouldn't do this. After all, he was the prince of the royal family. Why did he have to make such a plan?
The eldest prince wanted to ask a few more questions, but Prince Zheng did not give him a chance and turned over and went to the military camp.
Now the internal struggle is put second, and the most important thing is to protect the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty is gone, how can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?
No matter how well you prepare, you may end up making wedding dresses for others.
The army with the blue flags is nothing. After all, they have never met the army of the Southern Ming court.
