In Beijing, after receiving the news that Wu Jun had taken Yangzhou and dispatched the main force to cross the river north, Dorgon did not seem to be too angry and nervous.

This is mainly due to their multiple decisive battle plans, one of which is to take the initiative to release Wu Jun to Jiangbei for a decisive battle.

This has an advantage, that is, they can use their cavalry advantages and reduce logistical pressure. Once the enemy army is defeated, it can leave the enemy army with no way to escape and completely wipe it out.

Of course, there is also a slight disadvantage, that is, to give up a group of cities and give a large piece of land to Wu Jun first.

But compared with those benefits, the people in the Dorgon Group felt that it was the most ideal situation to induce the Wu army to fight decisively in the north and destroy the Wu army's living strength.

If Wu Jun didn't go north, they had to figure out a way to make a plan to cross the river.

They did not expect that the ideal situation would appear in advance, which is really a big happy event for them.

"My lord, it seems that this is God's will, this is a sign that God wants to destroy Wu Jun."

Mao Wenci said.

Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, Dorgon would definitely like to say such nice words at this time.

"This Wu Changqing is really used to being arrogant. He actually voluntarily gave up the advantage of the Yangtze River natural danger. I want him to understand how powerful our cavalry is."

Dodo gritted his teeth.

They have now studied the hollow phalanx almost, and formulated some tactics and methods of breaking the formation.

Their tactic is not to hit the hollow phalanx unless necessary. If necessary, the cavalry rushing into the formation had to change their weapons, mainly spears.

Holding a spear longer than a bayonet, you can stab Wu soldiers to death without touching the bayonet, thus breaking the Wu army's formation.

Once the formation is broken, they can unleash a one-sided slaughter.

"Order all ministries to act immediately and assemble in Xuzhou. This time, I will go out in person."

Dorgon patted the table.

He hasn't been on the battlefield for a while, and has gradually transformed from a handsome to a statesman.

But this time, because of the fateful battle of the Qing Dynasty, he decided to go to war in person, and he would not be relieved if he did not go to war in person.

A few days later, 300,000 troops of the Qing court gathered in Xuzhou.

Among them, 130,000 Manchu Banners, 30,000 Mongolian Banners, 40,000 Han Army Eight Banners, and 100,000 Green Camps.

This is almost the entire family of the Qing Dynasty. You must know that the total population of the Manchus when they entered the customs was about 800,000, of which about 300,000 men between the ages of 16 and 50.

Eighty thousand died and surrendered in Nanjing, and more than 40,000 died and surrendered in Jiujiang. The remaining men who could still fight were only about 170,000.

Among them, 10,000 people are scattered in various parts of the north, supervising the law and order in various places. 20,000 people stayed in Beijing, shocking the surrounding area, and 10,000 people stayed outside the customs.

Dorgon brought all the other 130,000 out.

This is not a lack of troops for Dorgon's men. The total troops in the north are at least 600,000 or 700,000, but they are all green camps.

And at this level of war, he really couldn't trust the Han soldiers.

Bringing too many Green Battalion soldiers to the battlefield at one time is difficult to control.

If there is a defection before the war, it might affect the overall battle.

Moreover, the original Han army had an extremely poor fighting will, unable to fight hard and easily defeated. This kind of soldier is also a make-up number, and it is not very useful, and can only waste military rations.

In desperation, Dorgon could only use a large number of soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. The Eight Banners of the Han Army are also more reliable. After all, they have been with him for a long time and are trustworthy.

And the 100,000 green camp is where Dorgon has a headache.

If these 100,000 green battalions can work like the Eight Banners of the Han Army, then their strength can be directly improved by a level.

To this end, before departure, Dorgon issued a new decree to the 100,000 Green Battalion soldiers.

He announced that after the war, 100,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion could be incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Army and enjoyed the same treatment as the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

This decree can more or less attract those soldiers, and the treatment in the Eight Banners is more than double that of the Green Camp. However, this will also bring a great financial burden to the Qing Dynasty.

The money to support one Eight Banners soldier is enough to support two or three Green Battalion soldiers. It takes a large amount of money to organize 100,000 Green Battalions into Eight Banners soldiers all of a sudden.

On the surface, Dorgon's decree is a bit sloppy, but some smart people in the green camp saw through Dorgon's plan at a glance.

Given the benefits, these 100,000 people are definitely going to rush ahead as cannon fodder. For those who survived this war, 50,000 is not bad, which is equivalent to half the expenditure.

And as long as their fighting spirit is stimulated and the Wu army is defeated, Dorgon can go to the south to loot.

With the wealth of the South today, this benefit can be fully afforded.

Unfortunately, the people who can see it are powerless to change the situation.

There are Eight Banners soldiers on the left and right. Rebellion is a dead end. If you go to fight, there may be a chance of survival.

Many generals actually believed that the Qing army could win this decisive battle, because their strength was twice that of the Wu army, and their equipment had also been greatly improved.

In Beijing, Da Yuer prayed for Dorgon and other soldiers in the palace, praying that the war would be won, because they could not afford to lose.

If they lose, not only will the world change hands, but even their ethnic group will be wiped out.

In the era of patriarchy, a person's identity is often determined by the father

Certainly.

Dayu'er is Mongolian, and Huang Taiji is Manchu. There is no such thing as a mixed race for their children. That is Manchu, and it is up to the father to decide.

When a Manchu woman marries a Han man, the child born is naturally Han.

The fate of an ethnic group is almost entirely determined by men.

This time they dispatched almost all the adult men. Once the war was lost, those adult men were either killed or captured and lost their right to mate.

At that time, those Manchu women who have lost their men will definitely end up being divided up by Han men.

If not, there is a real possibility of genocide.

Moreover, even if they win, as long as adult men die in battle, it is still a huge hidden danger.

Dayuer vaguely felt that entering the customs might not be the right choice.

With the size of the Qing Dynasty, wanting to rule the land of China is really a bit lacking in people's hearts. At the beginning, it should not have been so anxious to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, but because the north was digested first and the regime was consolidated.

"The queen mother, you don't have to worry too much, the regent will be invincible when he comes out."

Su Mo'er said with relief.

"What if we win? There are thousands of Han people in the world, and we don't even have a million. How can we control the world."

Big Yu'er sighed.

"Didn't we just rely on these people to take down all the north."

Sumer said.

"Before and now, it was completely different. In the past, there was no heroic figure in the Ming army. The Ming army could not see any hope, so it was easy to rule.

But now there is another Wu Changqing in the Ming army, and he has let others see the hope of victory. With the hope of winning, those who surrender will develop two hearts and become extremely difficult to rule. "

Being able to keep Dorgon's tidy up obediently and keep his youngest son's throne, Da Yuer's IQ is not low, and many issues are even clearer than Dorgon's.
