I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 461: The Qing Court's Countermeasures

"Aren't they attacking Daming? Why did they start going north so quickly?"

Hauge spoke first.

Dahua's attack made him a little nervous.

After all, they have not recovered their vitality in the Qing Dynasty, and if they are going to fight with Dahua now, the odds of winning are not high.

"Da Ming in the south is dead long ago. They can solve it with a southern army. It is estimated that Daming will not last long."

Mao Wenci said with emotion.

When Daming encountered the former, they were all defeated, let alone the current Dahua army. It was all because Dahua was not in a hurry that they could last for so long.

Otherwise, if they were to go all out, and if they didn't take into account the development of a single-minded attack, how could Daming survive until now.

"It's down. I just received news this morning that Fuzhou was breached and Emperor Longwu died in battle."

Dorgon broke another shocking news. After everyone heard it, they were all stunned for a while.

Daming, it's gone.

Many people are sighing in their hearts, feeling the vicissitudes of this world.

In just a few short years, the world has been turbulent and unpredictable.

After feeling emotional, they began to have headaches about the status quo.

Once Daming falls, Dahua has no threat from the rear and can attack them with all his strength, which will bring great pressure to them.

"The matter has come to this point, the only option is to quickly send troops to Xuzhou and stick to Xuzhou."

Fan Wencheng said.

Although he also knew that the chances of winning were very small, the matter had come to this point, and he had to win.

If you don't dare to fight because of fear, you will be in trouble if you lose Xuzhou, Henan, Shandong and other places.

They are still able to persist in development now, relying on the Central Plains region to transfuse blood to the central court.

Once these places are lost, it means nothing for them to keep the army.

Relying on Hebei and Guanwai, we cannot afford to support so many troops.

There is still a glimmer of hope.

If you don't fight, you can only survive and die slowly. Moreover, it will not be too slow, at most a year and a half.

No one refuted Fan Wencheng's words, and they all agreed with this point of view.

However, who led the troops to Xuzhou?

Everyone turned their attention to Hauge and Dorgon, and there was no doubt that the leader would be one of them.

"Prince Su and Prince Rui, which of you would like to lead troops to Xuzhou?"

Queen Xiaozhuangwen asked.

Hauge and Dorgon looked at each other, and they both could see through each other's mind.

Afterwards, the two spoke almost in unison, expressing their willingness to go to Xuzhou.

This is not because they are eager to kill the enemy, they just want to take this opportunity to gain power.

Once in Xuzhou, the Supreme Commander can issue orders to other units.

Putting one's direct line in the safest place, throwing the troops of the hostile faction in the most dangerous place, and consuming the strength of the opponent, have long been recorded in various historical books.

This is still the most basic method. On the battlefield, as long as you don't care about winning or losing, there are many ways to engage your own people.

"There are more than 100,000 troops and horses in and around Xuzhou, so the minister thought that only one troops and horses were needed for this rescue, and at most two flags could be sent over."

Fan Wencheng didn't want to watch Hauge and Dorgon's infighting performances at this time, draining his own strength.

So he suggested that no matter who leads the army, they can only lead the troops and horses of their own flag.

In this way, there is no chance to frame the opponent's men.

"Since Prince Su dares to take responsibility, then let Prince Su go."

Dorgon sneered.

You can't take the other party's person, then going to Xuzhou is not a good job, Dorgon decisively gave it to Hauge.

Haoge, who has been pitted, is not angry, but he has already said what he said before, and he is not easy to refuse, otherwise he will lose face.

However, he didn't particularly care if he was tricked.

In fact, he really wanted to fight with Dahua, and then fight a big victory to prove that he was stronger than Dorgon and enhance his prestige in the court.

Everyone likes to worship and depend on the strong. Dorgon has been defeated by Dahua. As long as he wins Dahua, then in the eyes of others, he will be stronger than Dorgon.

Those who want to keep the country in the Qing Dynasty will immediately attach themselves to Hauge's men and let him lead everyone forward.

At that time, he became the only regent, and even found an opportunity to use the excuse that Shunzhi was too young to abolish Emperor Shunzhi and enthroned himself.

Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, he needs to defeat Dahua once.

Once is enough, as long as you win this time, even if there is a defeat in the future, everyone can only bear it.

Of course, Hauge also knew that Hua Jun was very powerful and had a great advantage in firearms.

However, after all, he has never experienced that kind of scene in person, and the information he has seen from the battle report is definitely not as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

This also led him to feel that as long as he strategized and used his strategy well, he still had a chance to win.

"If I go, I will go, but I want all the firearms in the capital to be deployed to my flag first. Only in this way can we have a chance to win."

Hauge sneered and said that although Dorgon's people could not be pitted, he could at least take this opportunity to grab the advanced weapons of Dorgon's department.

"The capital is where the capital is, and we must leave enough force to guard it."

Dorgon immediately refuted, that kind of military

After handing over the weapon, don't expect to ask for it again.

"Who to guard against? Now we need to guard against Dahua, how can there be an enemy? If we don't focus on these weapons to use, we can only magnify the disadvantage of our army."

Hauge said.

Seeing that the two were about to stand at a stalemate, Da Yuer spoke. "Prince Rui, you should first lend the weapon to Prince Su, and after he returns from victory, let the emperor decide for you and let him return it. I don't think Prince Su is an unreasonable person, is he?"

When Da Yuer spoke, and all the ministers in the court were looking at him, Dorgon had to agree.

If he still does not agree at this time, he is almost telling everyone that he does not care about the life and death of the Qing Dynasty at all, which is a very big blow to his reputation.

Dorgon has not given up his ambition to regain power, and naturally he will not easily destroy his character.

In the case of many internal conflicts, they finally reached a compromise plan, which made many ministers a little relieved.

Next, just wait for Hauge's news.

If you win, you can keep going.

If you lose, you have to consider whether to surrender or return to the border.

The military situation was urgent. Two days later, Hauge received flintlock guns, cannons, and grenades from the two white flags.

Then he led an army of 42,000 on the road.

Although there were not many people, they were well-equipped, with 30,000 armed with flintlock guns, 10,000 cavalry, and 2,000 artillery.

As for other auxiliary soldiers, they are not counted.

These 30,000 flintlock guns are what they spent a year building with the strength of the whole country.

In terms of army force, the current Qing Dynasty can be ranked second in the world, and the first is naturally Dahua.

With this kind of firepower, if a Western country came to try to invade now, they would definitely be beaten and cry.
