I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266 Dorgon's Determination

"The generals in the Wu army made wild remarks, saying that the prince regent was afraid to ask for peace and resolutely refused to negotiate. There were also people who threatened to surrender the prince regent, which was extremely rude. The leader of the bandit Wu Changqing was even more arrogant, threatening to agree to the peace talks first. One condition for him."

"What conditions?"

Dorgon asked that he didn't care what Mao Wenci said, and he was ridiculed by a group of people who were inferior to him, and it didn't hurt.

There are more people who scold him, and it's not bad.

He only cares about Wu Changqing's words, because in his eyes only Wu Changqing can barely be equal to himself.

This is the same as a person who does not care about being laughed at by pigs and dogs, but cares about being laughed at by others. Only equivalence can make it care.

"He said, he said he would not stop unless Queen Xiaozhuangwen married him as a concubine..."

bang.

Before Mao Wenci's words were finished, Dorgon overturned the table with one hand, showing how angry he was at the moment.

Everyone else shut up and didn't dare to say anything. All the people present were the core figures of the Dorgon Group, and they all knew Dorgon's thoughts on Empress Xiaozhuangwen.

Wu Changqing's words are a blatant humiliation.

Asking someone else's woman is not a slap in the face. Except for someone with extraordinary talent like Fan Wencheng, no normal man can stand it.

Wu Sangui was just a concubine who was robbed, and he could betray the country in a fit of anger and go to the Qing court as a dog.

What's more, Dorgon has more power than Wu Sangui, and now it's not that Empress Xiaozhuangwen has been robbed by Wu Changqing, but Wu Changqing wants him to offer Xiaozhuang.

This is also thanks to Dorgon being a powerful person in power, and there are too many aspects to be concerned about. If it was just an ordinary man who encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid he would have waved his fist in the past.

The hatred of taking a wife, which can be juxtaposed with the hatred of killing the father, illustrates the importance that men attach to this aspect.

"Brother, let me lead the troops south and fight them to the death."

Dodo is a quick-tempered and violent man, and wants to fight at every turn.

He had never fought against Wu Jun, but he still believed in his own army.

Dorgon was much more mature and calmer than him, and he was obviously very angry, but he did not send troops out of anger. This is a matter that affects the whole body and needs to be considered carefully.

"Prince Regent, I support Prince Yu's proposition. I think a decisive battle is the best option at this time. I stayed in Nanjing for a few days and observed some situations. I found that their development speed is amazing and their financial resources are extremely strong.

The longer we delay, the worse it is for us. I think we still have a 50% chance of winning the decisive battle in the south, but if we drag it out for another year and a half, the chance of winning will probably drop to 30%..."

Immediately afterwards, Mao Wenci introduced to everyone what he had seen and heard in Nanjing.

When they heard that Wu Changqing had so much money that he could use it to pave roads and build houses for the poor for free, everyone was speechless in surprise.

When the world is not at peace, all forces give priority to the army, and things like people's livelihood can be dealt with after the victory of the war.

If you spend money on people's livelihood and the army is not strong enough, it will be funny if you lose the war, it is tantamount to helping the enemy build the country.

Wu Jun actually spent so much money to build the country at this time. I don't know if it is because of stupidity or because of self-confidence.

Everyone is more inclined to believe it is the latter. If Wu Changqing is stupid, it is impossible to fight so many victories one after another.

"What do you guys think?"

Dorgon was said to be upset and could only ask everyone for advice.

"I agree with Lord Mao's view. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Fan Wencheng took the lead in seconding the proposal. He actually still hoped that the Qing court would win, so that he could still guarantee his status. If Wu Jun wins, he will surrender again, and his status will be reduced a lot, at least after Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng, Hong Chengchou and others.

"If the development of the enemy army is indeed so rapid, then we can only fight as soon as possible to kill them in the bud."

"I can't wait any longer. In less than a year, Wu Jun has grown from hundreds of people to hundreds of thousands. In terms of development, Wu Changqing really has a lot of experience."

Several advisors under his command agreed that a decisive battle was needed as soon as possible, and Dorgon had to carefully consider this suggestion.

"How many firearms do we have now?"

Dorgon asked.

The official in charge of the equipment building replied: "At present, it has been equipped with 10,000 flintlock guns, 30,000 arquebuses, 50,000 grenades, and 150 artillery pieces."

This is all of their firearms. It looks like a lot, but in fact, it can only support one or two decisive battles.

"Wait for two months, and now all departments are ready to go south after the autumn harvest."

Dorgon made up his mind that the reason why he had to delay for another two months was to obtain enough food after the autumn harvest. In this decisive battle, they will have to mobilize at least 300,000 troops, plus the people responsible for transportation, which requires a lot of food.

The direction is decided, and the next step is to formulate the details.

The decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be overemphasized.

The next day, the news that Dorgon had made up his mind also reached Dayu'er's ears, and at the same time, she also learned the content of Mao Wenci's peace talks.

"It's going to be a decisive battle, alas."

Da Yu'er sighed, she had an ominous premonition.

"This Wu Changqing is really presumptuous, and dares to attack the Queen Mother's idea. Let Dorgon go and arrest him,

Let him understand the fate of blaspheming the Queen Mother. But your charm, the Queen Mother, is still the same. The Emperor Taizong, the Regent, Hong Chengchou, and now Wu Changqing were all fascinated by the Queen Mother. "

Su Moer made fun of Da Yuer.

Big Yu'er glared at her when she heard the words, but that was all, the friendship between the two of them had surpassed the master-servant relationship. If Su Moer made such a joke normally, she would not be angry at all.

Now, it's mainly because I'm worried, so I don't want to joke about it.

The decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people is a major event related to the destiny and future of the entire country, which makes people unable to help but want to take it seriously. What's more, this is still her son's country.

After a while of worrying, Da Yuer stopped thinking about it.

After all, she is a woman, she can't do anything, and she can't change anything. Fighting is a man's business.

She couldn't help thinking of Wu Changqing's request, and she felt a little complacent in her heart.

If it was a beggar who asked her to marry, it was indeed the blasphemy that Su Moer said.

But the person who made this request is a hero in troubled times or a hero in troubled times, then it is not called blasphemy, it is called appreciation.

To be admired by the best men in the world is a little bit of pride for a woman.

Although Da Yuer has cultivated her temperament for many years, she will inevitably feel a little uncontrollable in her heart when she encounters such a thing. To be able to hide in the heart and not to express this kind of deceit is already a very powerful self-cultivation.

Wu Changqing, what kind of person is this?

Da Yuer actually wanted to know more about Wu Changqing, and she also hoped that Dorgon could capture Wu Changqing, just like Hong Chengchou, and then rely on her own charm to persuade him to surrender and serve the Qing Dynasty.
