Weihui Mansion, Xinxiang.

Ajige was ordered to set up the headquarters camp here - as far as he knew, this was the advice Hong Chengchou gave to Dorgon.

As the central commander of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming army's battle, Ajige was appointed as the general of the Southern Expedition and was in charge of military affairs in Daming Prefecture, Henan and Northern Zhili.

However, the Qing Dynasty has abandoned all the territory south of the Yellow River, so Ajige is actually the military affairs of the four governments, Huaiqing, Weihui, Zhangde and Daming.

Although Xinxiang is not under the jurisdiction of Weihui Prefecture, its geographical location is quite critical.

It is located on the banks of the Wei River, and the upper reaches of the Wei River are connected to Qingshui and Danshui in the west. The upper reaches of the Danshui pass through Huaiqing and Zezhou in Shanxi, and is also connected to another large river Qinshui in Huaiqing Prefecture.

Qinshui is a big river that flows from Shanxi to the Yellow River.

The downstream of Dan River connects to the Qi River and Wei River in the east, and the Wei River connects to the Guangji Canal and can directly enter the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou.

The Qi River is also within Zhangde Mansion.

The most important thing is that Xinxiang is located in Weihui Prefecture, which is quite close to the four counties of Yuanwu, Yangwu, Yanjin and Fengqiu in the Hebei area of ​​Kaifeng Prefecture.

Therefore, Xinxiang could not only use well-connected water systems to transport food, grass and arms, but also support the four counties of Kaifeng and Hebei, which were most likely to fight with the Ming army. Therefore, it was recommended by Hong Chengchou to be the center of the army on the central line.

Although Ajige was a general in the expedition, he did not take over the power.

First, the Qingting always had a good defense against the generals, which was not much different from the Ming Dynasty. Second, Dorgon knew that his compatriot brother lacked wisdom and had a rough personality, so he was not a suitable candidate for the commander of one side.

However, now he has no other more trustworthy and suitable candidates around him, so he has to reuse Ajige.

In order to try his best to fight this battle, Dorgon arranged two deputy for Ajige, one for Tan Tai and the other for Luke Dehun.

Tan Tai came from the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchu and was the late first-class minister Yangguli's consul. He fought on the battlefield during the Nurhaci period and is fifty-three years old this year.

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, even if the generals did not die on the battlefield, they had a short life due to years of war and the harsh environment outside the pass. Many people died of illness at the age of 40 or 50. Therefore, Tan Tai is not only a famous general, but also a veteran.

In comparison, Ajige is only forty-one years old and has a rough personality, so he will inevitably have mistakes in his actions.

Only with the veteran Tan Tai watching Dorgon could he feel at ease.

In addition, Dorgon had another idea of ​​making such arrangements.

Tan Tai was originally a senior general of Huang Taiji's credit. After Huang Tianji's death, he first supported Haoge, and then became an important figure in the Fulin faction.

Dorgon transferred him to Ajige just in case.

As for Luke Dehun, although he was the grandson of Daishan, he was older than the sons of Daishan such as Mandahai, and was good at fighting. The most important thing was that he chose Dorgon in the political team.

If Luke Dehun hadn't had a little less qualification after all, and had a big defeat at Runing Mansion before, Dorgon would have wanted to arrange Luke Dehun as the center line coach.

It was customary for the Qing Dynasty to give a royal deputy to the head coach, so Dorgon chose Luke Dehun without hesitation.

As for the commander of the southern front, that is, the commander of the Shandong battlefield, Dorgon hesitated and chose Haoge.

When Haoge went to Shandong to quell the rebellion, he had already restored his identity as the King of Purging. Although he was just like Ajige and had a rough personality, his wisdom on the battlefield was much higher than Ajige.

The most important point between him and Ajige was his identity as a prince. At this time of crisis in the Qing Dynasty, only the prince, as the commander of the country, can stabilize the morale of the army and not lose morale.

Dorgon also put in his heart the arrangement for Haoge two deputys, the royal family member Boluo and the veteran Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was a man of the Manchurian Yellow Banner. Although he was once highly respected by Huang Taiji, he was not a loyal person. After Huang Taiji's death, Ye Chen did not choose the team Haoge.

He was fifty-nine years old this year, and he was already considered a long life among the Qing generals. In his early years, when Nurhaci attacked Tieling, Ye Chen followed the army to fight and made military achievements.

So, strictly speaking, Ye Chen is Nurhaci's man.

Such an old minister must have been the priority of the Qing Dynasty, so he was the deputy commander of the southern line, which could not only assist Haoge, but also reassure Dorgon.

Boluo is Abatai's third son and the best one.

At present, Abatai is seriously ill and may die at any time. Abatai himself has no power, and it is even more impossible to give Boro much political legacy after death. It is estimated that only a few Niulu can be left behind.

In this case, Boro can be said to have become rootless duckweed.

In addition, although many of his previous campaigns were in the south, they had no achievements in the defeat of Yangzhou, and they were all due to Dorgon's protection to avoid punishment.

Therefore, Boluo has now completely joined Dorgon's camp.

With Boluo and Ye Chen are there, Dorgon is not afraid of threatening his status. Boluo is a member of the Ming New Army who is quite familiar with the general, so he can definitely help Haoge.

It can be said that Dorgon really took some effort to choose the head coach and deputy coach on the center line, the southern line...

Du Yinxi was in Zhongmu. In order to avoid the soldiers in the army harassed the lives of the people in the city, he deliberately set up the camp outside the city and lived in the camp.

Ajige was different. The troops he led were all living in Xinxiang County, and he himself chose the best house in the city as the "Supervisor's Office".

On this day, Azig summoned several of his chief generals in the main room of his residence to discuss military secret matters.

"Please to the General!"

Several generals entered the hall and knelt on one knee to salute Ajige. This is to salute in the army. If they were outside, all of these people, except the royal family, would kneel to salute Ajige.

A bowing ceremony.

"Get up."

As Ajig waved his hand, all the generals stood up and subconsciously wanted to stand on both sides, but found that although the furnishings of the hall were good, the space became much smaller, making the generals unable to stand at all.

The generals looked around and tried to move again, and finally found that it was better to stand still.

Ajig looked at his group of people, not very satisfied.

Compared to his last campaign in Huguang in the south, the quality of his generals under his command is significantly worse than before. Next year, he is not as good as before.

The royal family who prefers to work as civil officials include Gong Adayai, the Minister of Personnel; and Huang Taiji's fifth son, Shuosai, the Prince of Chengze.

The Eight Banners Manchu generals included Oboi, Ebilong, Suksaha and Hirgen, who could barely catch his eyes.

As for the Eight Banners Han Army, there are King Zhishun Shang Kexi, Jinli of Meilezhang, and Zu Kefa.

There is no general in the Green Camp - because of this level of military prostitute meeting, the general in the Green Camp is not qualified to participate, or even not qualified to know the content of the meeting...

Although Ajige has many shortcomings, he has a lot of experience in commanding the commander and does not like red tape and stupid things.

After everyone saluted, he said, "This time I called everyone over to discuss how to deal with the Ming army. The above means to defend, but in my opinion, my Qing Eight Banners Army has never been able to do anything.

Defence is about offense and field battles!”
