Chapter 370 Retreat
Of course, if you choose to return to Liaodong, you can completely abandon Haoge. There are still many ways for them to return to Liaodong.
Even if the Ming army occupied Shanhaiguan, they could borrow from Zhangjiakou and go directly to Mongolia and detour from Mongolia to Liaodong. In short, there are many ways, but the problem is that Dorgon also wants the people in Hao Ge's hands.
Especially after the defeat in Shandong, there were not many credible people in the Qing court. Although Brother Hao was not in the way of dealing with him, after the Qing Dynasty returned to Liaodong, the Jurchen tribes would definitely rise up among the Jurchen tribes. How to control the situation at that time?
The army in Haoge's hands is extremely important, so unless it is absolutely necessary, Dorgon would never leave Haoge and retreat to Liaodong alone.
Moreover, this guy still had a little fantasy in his heart. If Haoge's army could reach the capital, perhaps we could still defend these people in the city. It was also possible that this was a turning point. If the Ming Dynasty army failed in the capital, we could still fight back?
Of course, the chance of this probability is very small, but this does not prevent Dorgon from having a dream!
"Report..."
Just as these people were talking about the matter, the imperial guards outside the door shouted Chang Yiner in. If it weren't for the very urgent military situation, they would probably not interfere with the meeting of the Prince and Ministers of the Political Consultative Conference. Could it be that the army of the Southern Ming court came over? Or was it that Haoge's army suffered a crushing defeat?
Dorgon was a little unstable. If it were one of these two things, I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty would be over today.
The letter was in Dorgon's hands, and the people around him also came together. However, due to the reasons of etiquette, they still had to wait for Dorgon to say it. Although these people were anxious, they could not report the emergency from the Regent's hands.
"Fourth brother, what happened?"
Prince Li Daishan has always been known for his calmness, but the situation in the Qing Dynasty is obvious today, the storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building. Anything can crush the entire Qing Dynasty, so Prince Li Daishan can't sit still.
Dorgon didn't say anything, but handed the letter in his hand to Prince Li Daishan. He felt that he had no strength at all. This was indeed a bad news that could not be bad, but Dorgon really didn't have the strength to tell the bad news.
Goryeo?
Looking at the three characters in front of him, Prince Li Dai Shan looked at Dorgon with some confusion, and then looked at the content below. His Highness almost sat on the ground.
The Southern Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Goryeo...
The Southern Ming court sent a letter of declaration of war half a month ago. This letter was sent by the King of Goryeo. I hope the Qing Dynasty could provide necessary assistance. After all, the Southern Ming court said that the reason for the war was that Goryeo sent 10,000 soldiers, and the 10,000 soldiers were to help the Qing Dynasty.
The Goryeo country was a small country and had no strength to resist the Ming Navy, so people were sent directly to ask for help.
"If the small country of Goryeo is gone, it will be gone. Now I can't take care of them."
Ajig took it over and looked at it, and said something like this. Everyone around him looked at this guy like an idiot. He usually knew that you didn’t study, but he didn’t expect that you also lacked geography knowledge. What is the north of Goryeo?
Isn't that our hometown?
If Goryeo Kingdom was taken down by the Ming Dynasty, it might become a springboard for the Ming Dynasty. Even if we flee back to Liaodong, we must face the Ming Dynasty's army immediately. Is it meaningful for us to flee back to Liaodong at that time?
What's more, it was the last pure land of the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty used Goryeo as a springboard to occupy that place, then everyone in the Qing Dynasty would be lonely ghosts.
Nowadays, there are not many soldiers to fight in Liaodong except for some old, weak, sick and disabled. They all know how powerful the Ming Dynasty's army was. As for the strength of the Goryeo Kingdom, these people also know very well.
Let them resist the attack of the Ming army, which is no different from an egg hitting a stone.
"It's over and everything is over. This little prince, this is going to cut off our retreat."
An old man from the Qing Dynasty sat on a chair. When they called Zhu Cilang, they always said the little prince. If they added a small word, they would look down on Zhu Cilang.
But since Zhu Cilang took power, none of these things he did did not make them sad. Now he has directly killed their nests, which has cut off all their thoughts.
"What are you afraid of? At worst, we will fight with them in the capital. Anyway, there is no way to retreat to Liaodong now. Let's just use the capital as the battlefield. What's the point of being afraid of if a person dies and eggs are facing the sky?"
Ajige was able to say these words at this time purely because he didn't know the power of the Ming army. This guy was the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, his army did not suffer much loss, so he spoke so hard, but did other Qing princes have such ideas? The army they had more or less suffered.
Especially his younger brother Duoduo, except for the 20,000 cavalry under his current leadership, the other elite Eight Banners were no longer found. If Duoduo had chosen, he would not continue to be enemies with the people of the Southern Ming court if he was killed.
Except for Ajige, everyone present felt a hint of despair. They originally thought that the enemy attack in Shandong was the greatest despair. Now, the Ming army not only did not allow Shandong's army to attack, but instead directly attacked the Goryeo Kingdom. This is the most desperate thing.
They are still planning which road to go back to Liaodong here, but if the Ming army occupied Liaodong, it would be useless to take which road you take.
These people are also very clear about the situation in Goryeo. Being able to take out an army of ten thousand people has already released half of the country's blood. If you expect them to block the Ming army, it would be better to expect the Ming army to jump into the sea and drown.
Moreover, the Goryeo Kingdom did not have very tall cities. The Qing army had conquered the Goryeo Kingdom, so naturally they knew how their defensive energy was. Even the Qing army could conquer them with cold weapons, not to mention the muskets and artillery of the Southern Ming court.
According to Dorgon's thoughts, at most 20,000 to 30,000 people could sweep across the entire Goryeo Kingdom. At that time, the passage to Liaodong was opened, and they were really finished...
