Abatai's rude and violent temper was also famous among Nuerhaci's sons. He had been convicted several times just for his words.

He is now over fifty years old, but his irritable and fiery temper has not changed much with age.

Faced with the strategy of siege and reinforcement proposed by Prince Zheng Jierharang and approved by Prince Rui Dorgon, he had no intention of agreeing at all and simply denied it.

Abatai has never been afraid of leading troops in battle, especially against the Ming army, and has almost never lost.

This made Abataza very arrogant and arrogant when facing the Ming army, and did not take the Ming army's generals seriously at all.

In the previous game, Yang Zhen had defeated the Mantatars several times in succession. Logically speaking, Abatai should also treat Yang Zhen as a person.

However, in fact, this is not the case at all.

Abatai had not been able to take advantage of Yang Zhen's previous victories against the Manchu Tatars, so he had not suffered at the hands of Yang Zhen and did not feel that Yang Zhen and his troops were any different from other Ming generals.

What a difference.

This time he was ordered to follow Dorgon's army south to attack the newly emerged so-called Jinhai Town. He originally came with the attitude of killing the chicken with a knife.

As a result, Dorgon gathered all the princes and ministers from various banners, Baylor, and decided on such an unprogressive strategy of siege and reinforcements, which made him very puzzled and very unhappy at the same time.

"Old Fourteen, people say you are smart and wise. The emperor previously gave you the title of Mergen Daiqing. Humph, I think you are now blinded by lard, and you have no reputation for being wise!"

After Abatai said what he said before, Dorgon's face was as dark as water and remained calm. However, now that Abatai said this, Dorgon's expression changed instantly.

Also present were Prince Azig, King Kong Youde, King Zhishun Shang Kexi, and all the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.

Only Prince Zheng Jierharang remained calm and looked at Abatai with a smile, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

"Prince Doluo Raoyu, what do you call the ordered general and Prince Shuorui? You don't know your own identity? Is that what you can call me the Fourteenth?!"

Dorgon had not yet spoken, but Dorgon's half-brother, the newly elected leader of the White Banner, Prince Azig of Shuoying, suddenly stood up, pointed at Abatai, and scolded Abate.

"Prince Rui has been ordered to lead the troops of the banners going south. The movement of the army should be decided by Prince Rui! If you think you can be superior to Prince Rui, you can lead the Zhenglan Banner troops on your own!

"Furthermore, my Xiangbai Banner suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. It has not been reorganized for a long time, and it still needs some time to adjust before it can go into battle. If you want each banner to attack the strong city by force, then please spare Prince Yu and lead the Zhenglan Banner troops.

Ma, go be the vanguard and take the lead!"

Although Azig received the so-called favor from Huang Taiji this time and was promoted from Prince Dorowuying to Prince Heshuoying and became the flag owner with a white flag, he did not really appreciate Huang Taiji.

When the critical moment comes, he will still stand on Dorgon's side without hesitation and naturally.

Huang Taiji's differentiating and co-opting methods indeed made Prince Rui Dorgon suspicious at the time, and he became suspicious of his half-brother.

However, brothers from the same mother who have been dependent on each other since childhood still have some family ties that transcend interests.

Especially after Duduo's death, the relationship between Dorgon and Azig was obviously much better than before.

At this moment, Azig scolded Abatai for his behavior, and the stance and attitude shown in it were immediately accepted by Prince Rui Dorgon.

After hearing what Azig said, Dorgon's expression softened a little. He first waved his hand and motioned Azig to sit down, then he took a deep breath, exhaled it, looked at Abate and said:

"Since Prince Rao Yu has objections, he should ask other people for their opinions, and then report all their opinions to Shengjing City for the emperor to make a decision himself. Prince Rao Yu, is this good?

"

Dorgon's cold tone revealed a feeling of half discussion and half joking.

After hearing this, Abate was stunned on the spot for a moment. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

Because what Dorgon said was so righteous to the extreme that he could not refute it at all.

But he clearly felt that Dorgon must have other thoughts.

At least the Dorgon in front of me is no longer the resourceful and decisive, wise and courageous Dorgon before.

Abata's mouth murmured a few times, but in the end he did not speak. He just snorted and turned his head to avoid the eyes of Dorgon and Azig.

Next, Dorgon asked the respectful king Kong Youde and Zhishun king Shang Kexi one by one for their opinions.

Kong Youde, the respectful king, and Shang Kexi, the Zhishun king, were both experienced. Neither of them wanted to be involved in the fight between the Manchu clan kings. They unanimously stated that they were resolute in following orders and had no other opinions.

However, not only Abatai, King of Raoyu County, was extremely dissatisfied with the cunning answers given by the two of them, but even Prince Rui Dorgon was extremely dissatisfied with them and urged them to put forward their own ideas.

Therefore, King Zhishun, who was unable to deal with the situation, was pleased, and finally had to bite the bullet and said: "In my opinion, what the masters said is reasonable. Tens of thousands of our elite Qing soldiers have gathered here, and every day

The consumption of food and grass is not a small amount, so if we can kill a chicken with a bull's-eye and kill it quickly, then it is naturally the best strategy!"

When Shang Kexi said this, the expressions of Dorgon, Azig and Prince Zheng Jierhalang, who had just clearly advocated encirclement and reinforcements, suddenly sank.

They looked at Shang Kexi thoughtfully, with displeasure on their faces.

Abatai, King of Raoyu County, snorted, looked at Prince Rui Dorgon with half contempt and half provocation, and then said to Shang Kexi:

"King Zhishun, haha, you, this slave, are more knowledgeable than many people!"

King Zhishun Shang Kexi did not expect that the first few words he said would lead to such consequences. When he heard Abatai say this, he became even more panicked and immediately slid down from the seat with his buttocks half-stretched.

, knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Master, please wait a moment and listen to what I have to say."

After saying this, Shang Kexi did not dare to take a breath for fear of being interrupted again, and immediately continued: "The terrain in southern Liaoning is special. After passing Fuzhou City and going south, especially between Jinzhou and Lushunkou, there are three sides.

Jinghai is a land with many mountains. Although there are roads connecting the north and south, the roads are rugged and narrow and are not suitable for the deployment of our army.

"And once our Qing soldiers go deep, or if they fall into the enemy's trap of luring them deep, the enemy will then have a large number of naval forces and can advance and retreat freely, but this is not the case for our Qing soldiers. Once the food route is cut off, they will be in a dilemma. This point

, I also ask the master to take a closer look!"

King Zhishun, Shang Kexi, finally finished speaking both sides of the story. He breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Abatai's face.

"Haha, Lord Shang, Prince Raoyu said you have some knowledge, and indeed he is right, you do have some knowledge. Get up quickly, don't forget your identity, you are the King Zhishun whom I, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, ennobled!

"

Dorgon saw that King Zhishun Shang Kexi had indeed said something and was not just following the trend, so he kindly asked him to stand up and speak.

Of course, Dorgon also had opinions about the Han people like Kong Youde and Shang Kexi who surrendered to the generals and were granted the title of king. He believed that Huang Taiji was too kind to these people.

But he was still different from other Eight Banners princes. He also realized the important use of these Han people's surrendered generals.

The original so-called Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou did not have a large population, only 200,000 to 300,000 people.

To think of becoming king and hegemony, or even take control of the Central Plains, with such a small population is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Therefore, in order to strengthen its own strength, it can only absorb the surrendered troops and generals of the Ming army, and at the same time absorb or plunder the populations of the Southern Dynasties, Mongolia and even North Korea, so that they can be used for their own purposes.

Although Dorgon was very dissatisfied and even resentful towards Huang Taiji, he still quite recognized Huang Taiji's approach and was willing to win over and use some of his Han generals.

For example, if people like Kong Youde and Shang Kexi are willing to be used by him, he will welcome them.

Therefore, after hearing Shang Kexi's words, he immediately confirmed Shang Kexi's statement. While asking him to get up, he stepped forward to help him.

Shang Kexi jumped up, bowed to express his gratitude, and at the same time hurriedly stepped back and sat back in his seat.

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Back then, you personally participated in the battle to capture Lushunkou, and you made outstanding contributions. I guess you will be able to teach me!"

After Dorgon got the opinion he wanted to hear from Shang Kexi, he turned to look at the frightened Kong Youde and asked him with a smile on his face.

In July of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Lushunkou fell and fell into the hands of the Manchu Tatars. Among the people who played an important role were Kong Youde and his troops.

As early as May of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and a group of people took the defeated soldiers of the Dengzhou Rebellion and a large number of ships and weapons across the sea and surrendered to Houjin in the north.

On the way, they were intercepted by Huang Long, the general of the Ming Dynasty who was guarding Lushunkou. After a great battle, although Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and their group escaped, they suffered heavy losses among the troops and horses accompanying them.

After arriving at Houjin, in order to retaliate against Huanglong's troops who guarded Lushunkou, Kong Youde offered advice to Huang Taiji and asked Huang Taiji to send a large army to seize Lushunkou.

Kong Youde's troops were very familiar with the terrain and roads of Lushunkou, the city's defenses, and even the strength of the generals. At the same time, they had a large number of boat divisions and artillery to assist them.

In this way, Huang Taiji sent Yue Tuo to lead an army of more than 10,000 people with red flags. In conjunction with the troops of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others, as well as their boat divisions, they advanced by land and water, and finally captured Lushunkou.

Huang Long, the commander-in-chief guarding Lushun, was defeated and committed suicide. Most of the troops stationed at Lushunkou were killed in the battle, while a small number fled. Most of the family members who accompanied the army were massacred, and a small number were captured and turned into slaves.
