Chapter 346: Lu Wenzong, King of Pingnan, Qing Dynasty

Ganglin was holding a "Shandong Governor's First Emergency Report" from the Kuaima in Linqingzhou, Shandong Province, and the Shandong Governor Fang Dayou sent a report to Tang.

The Tang newspaper shows that Jinan was lost, Dezhou was lost, Yanzhou was lost, Dongchang was lost, and dozens of prefectures and counties in the northeast of Qianfanshan were now only Qingzhou. The capitals of Linqingzhou and more than ten counties in the northeast of Jinan Prefecture were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and the rest were occupied by bandits.

"I heard that every time the thief seized a city, they would send troops to capture officials, either tied up to jump into the river, fell from the city wall, roasted with fire, or cooked with pot. The methods were extremely cruel, and there were even evil methods, saying that one person would go to the Qing Dynasty, and all the families would be killed; one family would go to the Qing Dynasty, and all the tribes would be killed, which would lead to the terror of Lu and panic in people."

The important member of the thief, Shandong Governor Wang Aoyong, was killed by the thief, and more than 100 officials of all sizes and under the general Su Bangzheng. No Manchu and Han army survived. When the soldiers and generals of the Green Camp heard the news of the thief, they turned against each other, or collapsed, or fled in a hurry. Local bandits emerged from all over the country, attacking Qing officials and Qing officials, and Shandong was in a hurry!

"I heard that the bandits occupied Dezhou and threatened to invade 100,000 soldiers and soon invade the capital. When I was reporting urgently, tens of thousands of bandits were attacking from Dongchang, and the infantry and cavalry covered the sky and the land was in great power. I only defended the city and asked the court to send 10,000 Zhen Manchu soldiers to run south at night, otherwise the land of Lu would be destroyed and Beizhi would be shaken."

Fang Dayou was obviously shocked by the bandits. The Tangbao was in chaos and his words were extremely exaggerated, but one thing was certain, that is, the royal family Bahana, and the Han army led by the Han army, Gushan Ezhen Shitingzhu, had been completely wiped out.

Fang also said that he found out that this thief was named the Marquis of Huaiyin by the rebel thief Li Zicheng. His real name is unknown. The thief was called "Four Heavenly Kings". Some said that his surname was Lu, some said that his surname was Lu, some said that his surname was Lu, some said that his surname was Lu, some said that his name was Lu, some said that his name was Lu, some said that his name was Lu, and some said that his name was Lu, but I don't know which one.

In the battle of Shandong, there were no thousand Zhen Manchus in the formation, two thousand Han troops, and the governor died for his country. This was a rare loss that the Qing army had never encountered since entering the pass, which naturally shocked and angry Dorgon.

Soon, Shandong's defeat spread to the top leaders in Beijing and Manchuria. When the 29-year-old King of Henan Duoduo heard that his son-in-law Shi Huashan died at the thief, he angrily asked his brother Dorgon to lead a large army to fight south, vowing to tear the thieves who killed his son-in-law to pieces.

Dorgon was also angry. He knew very well that once the requisition of Shandong failed, the thieves in Shandong would become a major danger to the capital.

Once Li Zicheng launches a counterattack in Shanxi, the Shandong bandits will definitely attack the north when the main force of the Qing army was fighting on the Western Front, and the Qing army will face two fronts.

The battles on these two fronts were not originally planned by Dorgon, led the troops respectively, attacking Li Zicheng all the way west and collecting Jiangnan all the way south, but instead fighting passively in Jifu.

This would be very dangerous for the Qing Dynasty, who had just occupied Beijing for more than two months and had actually stabilized the capital and Beizhi areas.

Moreover, once the Shandong bandits form a strong force, it will inevitably affect the situation in Henan.

If Henan is also defeated by the thief, then Shanxi, Henan and Shandong will be one after another, and only the Qing army in the Beizhi area will be surrounded by the thief.

Thieves can be attacked from everywhere, and when they are clean, they should be prevented. How can they last?

Therefore, we must not let the Shandong bandits form a power, and we must have time to manage Shandong and take Henan, and we must not let them invade Beizhi.

Fortunately, Fang Dayou reported that the bandits who captured Jinan and occupied Dezhou were under the banner of Li Chuang, not under the banner of "Fu Ming".

This made it impossible for the former Ming officials and gentry who had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to join, which caused a large number of rebellions like the Shun regime in Shanxi, making the Shun army exhausted and difficult to organize and prepare for a counterattack.

Therefore, the top leaders of Manchuria reached a consensus that the most urgent task was to send troops to expedition south, to wipe out or remove the bandits, and to recover the adverse impact on the Qing Dynasty due to the defeat of Bahana.

Grand Secretary Ganglin and others believed that it was the hottest time of the year in the pass. The hot weather greatly affected the battles of Manchu soldiers and made it difficult for Manchu soldiers to march. Therefore, it is best to mobilize Manchu soldiers to fight in the south to fight.

Duoduo, who was determined to avenge his son-in-law, couldn't wait and asked for battle one after another in front of his brother Dorgon. Dorgon considered the overall situation and suppressed Duoduo's request for battle.

But if the situation is uncontrollable by August, the situation may evolve to an uncontrollable level. At that time, Li Zicheng's main force in the Western Front launched a counterattack, and Shandong would not care about it.

Dorgon still decided to fight south, but he didn't want Duoduo to go, and he didn't want to send too many troops.

Gushan Ezhen He Luo would make suggestions, so that the eldest son of the late emperor, Haoge, would make meritorious service and lead a part of the Zhenglan Banner troops to Shandong to suppress the thieves.

Dorgon was moved.

Haoge was reported by He Luohui for slandering Dorgon in the previous period and was given a title by Prince Su, but he was still the lord of Zhenglan Banner. Zhenglan Banner was very hostile to Dorgon, the regent because of Haoge.

Although the other two yellow flags entered the pass under the command of Dorgon to participate in the war, many Manchu generals of the two yellow flags were dissatisfied with Dorgon's title of King Haoge. Among them, the representatives Turge, Sony, Tulai, Xihan, Gong Adei, Obai, Tan Tai, Tazhan and others also strongly supported Haoge to proclaim himself emperor last year.

So Haoge will not die for one day, and Dorgon will be in peace for one day.

In order to consolidate his power, Huang Taiji changed the Zhenghuang and the Yinghuang flags led by Duoduo and Ajige to the Zhengbai Banner and the Yingbai Banner. He also changed the original Zhengbai Banner he personally to the Zhenghuang Banner, and seized Dudu's position as the head of the Yingbai Banner to his eldest son Haoge, and changed it to the Yinghuang Banner.

Later, the leader of Zhenglan Banner, Mangguertai, was defeated and killed in an attempt to rebel. Huang Taiji took the opportunity to take away the Zhenglan Banner and mixed the Zhenglan Banner with the Zhenghuang Banner to become the new two yellow banners. Eight Niulu were divided from it and handed it over to Haoge, and then the original inlaid yellow banner of Haoge was changed to the Zhenglan Banner.

This Zhenglan Banner is more loyal to Haoge than the two yellow Banners. The 1,000 Manchu soldiers led by Bahana, who died in Shandong, came from the Zhenglan Banner. Then, the banner leader Haoge once again led the Zhenglan Banner to quell the rebellion, which is legitimate.

Haoge won, and the situation in Shandong was stable, which was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.

If Haoge is defeated, Dorgon will take the opportunity to seize the Zhenglan Banner.

Therefore, no matter whether Haoge wins or loses, it is good for Dorgon.

However, Dorgon was very talented and wise. Although he was willing to use a knife to kill people, he didn't want Haoge to really lose. Moreover, he could not let Haoge bring all the 6,000 Manchu soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner out of Beijing. He had to guard against Haoge's dissatisfaction with his uncle after he had military power.

Fan Wencheng saw the regent's thoughts and suggested that Haoge lead 3,000 soldiers of Zhenglan Banner to go to the expedition, and that Gongshu Kong Youde, the Han army in the headquarters will be led to the expedition with Haoge. He also proposed to use Hong Chengchou to help pacify Shandong and Henan with the ability of this important official of the Ming Dynasty.

Dorgon immediately adopted it and appointed him as the crown prince Taibao with his original title when Hong Chengchou served in the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of War and the Right Censor of the Censorate. He entered the inner court to assist in military affairs, and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat. He was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat. He was given the title of "Recruiting the Military Affairs General of the Southern Governor" and was given a bargain. However, the matter of "banning secrets" must be discussed by the Regent.

The Manchu and Han army must prepare for leaving the south of Beijing, and it will take as soon as half a month. Dorgon ordered Hong Chengchou to go to Dezhou first to explore the situation.

Before leaving, Hong Chengchou entered Wuying Hall and knelt down to see Dorgon, and presented ten strategies to suppress the thieves. He also said that this time he went south, he should focus on recruiting and pacifying and supplementing his force.

Dorgon acted with his advantage, whether to slap or attack them, he, the Governor General Military Affairs Grand Secretary, worked together to handle it.

Hong Chengchou thanked him and said, "I asked the Regent, if he could recruit the thief, what title would he be rewarded?"

Fan Wencheng nodded, Hong Chengchou's question was on the point. Considering that Li Zhe had just defeated the Manchu and Han army under his command, there must be no 100,000 troops under his command, but there should be 20,000 to 30,000 people. If he could surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Shandong would definitely be sure, so he suggested that he be appointed as a first-class official.

"I'm stingy. Li Chuang can be a marquis. My Qing Dynasty should be more generous than Li Chuang."
