Chapter 138 The First Army of the Prince's Guards! Expedition!
"You can't go out!"
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, looked at Huang Degong and said.
"Why??"
Huang Degong frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"You need to defend the entire Shandong Province. I asked Lin Yi to go there in order to win the battle and at least boost everyone's confidence.
But it’s not for the purpose of running over to fight a war of attrition. If you go there, the nature of this matter will change! We haven’t yet reached the time for a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty, and we are not strong enough!”
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, looked at General Huang Degong in front of him and said with a serious face: "I know the general wants to fight, but you really can't go out now.
If you can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory. For us, a miserable victory is a loss! As for losing..."
Zhu Cixiang did not continue, but General Huang Degong also understood what Zhu Cixiong meant.
He quickly calmed down and nodded towards Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Your Highness, I took it too much for granted."
"Okay, General Huang, you can continue to train the army!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Huang Degong bowed respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him, then turned and left the city wall.
Looking at Huang Degong's back, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, and looked at the First Guards Army not far away, which gradually disappeared on the horizon.
His face was slightly serious.
I wonder if they can give themselves a little surprise!
As for the Second Army of the Prince's Guards, they are still training in Jinan City. After all, they have only been assembled for less than a month.
In fact, both Li Dashan and Wang Ergou also asked Zhu Cihong to fight.
But Zhu Cixiang refused directly.
Because for Zhu Cixiang, if a soldier who has been trained for less than a month is sent directly to the battlefield, it means that these soldiers will die.
It’s no different than sending someone to death!
Moreover, this battle is not suitable for recruiting new soldiers. It would not be good if there were too many casualties!
We can only rely on Lin Yi!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
I hope Ji Ji can give himself a surprise!
if not……
Zhu Cihong shook his head. If he failed, Zhu Cihong could only wait for the Qing army to move south, and his target would be the entire Shandong Province.
If you can't even defend Shandong, you can only retreat to Jiangnan.
And going further, it is very likely that the entire Jiangnan cannot be defended.
If Jiangnan really can't hold on...
The best possibility for me is to spend the rest of my life on the island of Taiwan!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, feeling a little nervous.
After finally being reborn in the late Ming Dynasty, who wants to just sit back and watch the land of China fall into the hands of foreigners and watch the people being slaughtered?
The land of China is trampled by aliens??
Who wants to see it??
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang looked slightly helpless, but at the moment, he couldn't do anything but watch Lin Yi's performance!
When Zhu Cixiang watched the army completely disappear on the horizon, he still stood on the city wall for a long time before turning around and walking down the horizon.
After arriving at Jinan Prefecture, Xing Zai followed.
Zhu Cixiang called Zhu Yi.
"How is the situation in Beijing City? Is there any news from the Bloodscale Society?"
Zhu Cixiang asked calmly towards Zhu Yi who was standing aside.
"Li Zicheng wanted to escape from Beijing overnight, but the 10,000 cavalry led by Hong Chengchou arrived at that moment. As a result, Li Zicheng's Chinese army was chased for hundreds of kilometers by Hong Chengchou's 10,000 cavalry!
But at present, the situation around Beijing is still a bit complicated, and not all the Manchu and Qing troops have been able to directly enter the city.
There are still some troops of intruders who are still trying their best to resist, but now it seems that the overall situation has been decided!"
After hearing Zhu Yi's words, Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly.
"Then the city of Beijing is now occupied by the Manchus??"
"That's not true!"
Zhu Yi pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said.
"The large Qing army has not yet reached Beijing, and there are still many chaotic intruders around Beijing. Hong Chengchou chased Li Zicheng for hundreds of miles without entering the city."
“So, Beijing is an empty city now??”
Zhu Cixiang asked Zhu Yi in front of him curiously.
"almost!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Cixiang raised his head and looked at Zhu Yi in front of him.
"Zhu Yi, I need an army specifically designed to assassinate local generals, spy on military intelligence, and then be responsible for killing!"
"Who do you think can do it?"
"Your Highness, please use Zhu Si! He is better at assassination and training talents!"
Zhu Yi hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Okay! Then you go and tell him! As for the funds, I will give him part of it, and let him figure out the rest by himself!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
…………
The First Army of the Prince's Guards marched silently on the official road.
Lin Yi was riding on the horse, his brows slightly wrinkled.
The Qing army mainly consists of cavalry, which is highly mobile and has strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is best not to encounter them on flat ground.
Moreover, it is best to fight an ambush, but with so many troops, it is not easy to hide at all. It can even be said that there is no way to hide at all.
If there is a head-on encounter, it is best not to be on flat ground. Otherwise, your cannons and these muskets will not be of much use, and the expectations of His Highness the Crown Prince will be meaningless!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi frowned tightly.
At this time, he had already dispersed all the spies.
No matter what kind of tactics are used, at least he must understand the movements of the Qing army around him. It's okay now that he has not reached the actual control area of the Qing army.
The probability of encountering the Qing army is not too high.
When Lin Yi was marching.
At this time, Dorgon was sitting leisurely on the sedan chair, with several maids serving him around him. Dorgon looked at the soldiers around him with a contented look on his face.
Unexpectedly, Shanhaiguan was captured without a single blow!
Wu Sangui surrendered just like that!
Dorgon was very happy. In this way, the casualties of the tribe could be reduced, and some troops could also be added!
No matter how you look at it, it’s a good thing!
"Prince Regent! The Ming Prince seems to have sent out troops!"
At this time, after Kong Youde heard something, his expression suddenly became serious and he spoke to Dorgon beside him.
"The Ming Prince actually sent troops??? to deal with the remaining intruders?"
Dorgon asked Kong Youde at the side with curiosity in his eyes.
"It shouldn't be to deal with the intruders. Judging from his movements, the Ming Prince's troops are coming all the way to the north! It seems they don't want us to eliminate the intruders so easily! They want to delay us!"
Kong Youde hesitated for a moment and looked at Dorgon in front of him.
