Chapter 369 Horqin
In addition to this relationship, the most important one is the relationship between Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Prince Korqin is the elder brother of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the emperor's uncle.
If they didn't even send troops, then the Qing Dynasty would really have no hope. Other Mongolian tribes might not send troops, but Korqin was a hardcore in the Qing Dynasty.
"The Korqin tribe is still good. Although I want to send troops, I refuse."
When we heard Prince Li say the first half, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there was an ally on the grassland, but when we heard it, we didn’t understand what was going on. We were obviously willing to send troops to help, so why did we refuse when we were in a difficult situation?
"Brother, what does this mean?"
Ajige didn't understand what Prince Li Daishan meant. Now even ten thousand Mongolian cavalry are extremely useful for the entire Qing Dynasty.
Prince Li Daishan saw that the others were also confused, so he had to explain it to these people.
The alliance between the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty was basically nothing but the one after the defeat. Now that the Qing Dynasty has gone downhill, the Mongolians are likely to stab the sword in the back, which is very normal.
Korqin did have a good relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and it was precisely because of this that they had to watch other tribes on the grassland.
They had sent a lot of troops to follow the battle before. If the remaining troops were drawn out, the final result would be difficult to say, so even if they were willing to send troops, Prince Li would not let them send people out.
After listening to the words of the clan leader, the others were all in silence.
It is really difficult for a capable tribe to be unwilling to be a member of the people, and those who are incapable have to watch these people on the grassland.
Dorgon didn't say a word. When everyone else was talking, Dorgon glanced at his elder brother, and Prince Li Daishan shook his head gently. The Mongolian tribes are now unable to rely on, and the money has been wasted.
"Don't talk about this matter anymore. These Mongolians are so treacherous. I remember them in the liquidation. After solving the affairs of the Southern Ming court, we must settle the accounts with them so that they can know how powerful we are. Now we should see how things in the south should be solved. This time they have gathered nearly 300,000 troops, which is a catastrophe for us."
Dorgon only said half of his words, and still half of them were not spoken. If these 300,000 soldiers were seriously attacked, they would be able to arrive in Tongzhou in ten days.
At that time, whether the capital could be defended depends on God's intention. Judging from all the current situation, the chance of defending the capital was really small.
Three hundred thousand soldiers...
There are also muskets and cannons...
High morale...
The people present felt their temples thrust. They were really happy to be revenge, but now they have come to the door. Many people don’t know how they have come to this point, and many people are still in a daze.
Dorgon made some calculations in his mind. There was also an army of Ajige in the capital, and this army had never moved. In addition, the 20,000 cavalry brought back by Duoduo, the imperial guards and some guards from various departments and yamen, the total number was enough to gather more than 100,000 cavalry.
If all the Han military flags around the capital were added, there would be 150,000 people, but the problem is that this was the last person in the Qing Dynasty.
There is another thing, that is, among these 150,000, except for the army under Ajig, everyone else basically retreated from the battlefield. These people were in a very serious mood of failure and probably hadn't reached the battlefield yet!
I'm afraid these people have to find reasons to retreat for themselves first. It would be better to expect God to blow the Southern Ming army back when he expects these people to win the battle.
Dorgon began to hesitate again at this moment. Should he retreat to Liaodong? Or should he stay in the capital?
Although he was not going to retreat to Liaodong before, he was also ready to return to Liaodong. Dorgon felt that there were disadvantages at this moment. As a superior, the situation in front of him changed too quickly, and he didn't know how to make a decision.
After all, the Shandong Battle was defeated too quickly. I originally thought that so many troops could bring back at least 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry.
Now, it’s better. Not only did a person come back, but he opened his own portal. If the other party wants to attack the capital, it will take at most half a month.
Another one is a catastrophe in the capital.
Prince Zheng died inexplicably. Although Dorgon had prepared for a long time, Prince Zheng's men were also extremely dissatisfied.
Assassination incidents were also created in the capital. Although Dorgon suppressed them with his tough skills, thousands of people died, and several of them were also caused panic to the capital.
There were several people who did not come today when we held a meeting of the kings and ministers. Of course, they would not say it on such occasions. If they said it, it would be that there would be internal disagreement, there would be pursuers outside, and internal strife inside. This is clearly a sign that the dynasty would collapse!
If Prince Li Daishan does not come back, then Mongolia is not a big deal now. Now that His Royal Highness is back, Dorgon has another worry about whether the Mongolians will stab the sword in the back?
If the Mongols stabbed the knife, the Qing Dynasty would have really made things worse. They didn’t treat the Mongols very well back then, and now it is a good time for the Mongols to take revenge.
"The Regent, now we must make a quick decision. We should give up some areas to strengthen the defense of the capital. If Prince Su Haoge's army can return to the rescue, we may not be unable to defend the capital."
Fan Wencheng never took the initiative to speak on such a thing, but in this situation, if he didn't speak, he would expect the rest of the people to find a plan, and I'm afraid they would be standing here tomorrow morning, and these people didn't even have any brains.
Dorgon also knew that he had to let Haoge's army come back, but the question is, can you come back if you want to come back? If Haoge wants to withdraw, even if he rode his horse as fast as possible, it would take two or three months, and can we hold on for so long?
