The Manchu army lost the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles, so it could only let go of the original idea of quickly seizing the world and began to pass through the north.

Duoduo still led the army to confront Feng Yuan in Huaibei.

In accordance with Dolgon's orders, Azig collected his troops and returned to Shaanxi, and went to Hanzhong to attack Bashu.

Prepare to destroy Zhang Xianzhong first, and according to the strategy of the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy the Eastern Wu, build a warship down the river to destroy Jinling.

As a result, when there were no small wars in the Central Plains and Huaibei Wars, Bashu Hanzhong fell into the flames of war.

Taking advantage of this time, Feng Yuan began to extend his influence to Yangzhou Mansion, Anqing, Luzhou and other places.

Under his coercive orders, the entire Jiangbei strictly implemented the policy of apportioning the land to the mu and the officials and gentry paying grain in one piece, and the disobedient landlords and wealthy businessmen were all cleaned up.

Those Donglin scholars, as well as Jiangnan scholars with wealthy merchant backgrounds, repeatedly impeached and opposed, but to no avail.

The 200,000 army under the command of Feng Yuan has been continuously drilled and eliminated, and there are newly recruited sons of good families who have joined the army, and after continuous fighting and tempering, they can be called elite soldiers.

The families of these soldiers were divided in Lianghuai according to the policy, plus those poor people who were exempted from taxes, and most of the people who could not afford the land tax were all over Lianghuai.

With the support of these people, the foundation of the Zhou Wangfu is buried deep in the land of Lianghuai, and no one can shake it.

Coupled with the strong combat power of 200,000 elite soldiers, those gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had no way to do anything about the Zhou Wangfu that had grown up.

Time is like water, and in the blink of an eye, it is two years of time.

The land of the two Huai is full of gold.

Countless farmers are busy harvesting grain in the fields, these people are working in the fields, and everyone's face shows the joy of a good harvest.

In the past two years, under the strong defense of the front, the rear has become much more stable.

In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Wangfu continued to exterminate the bandits and pacify the displaced people, and there were no wars and thieves, and the originally uninhabited fields quickly grew vibrant.

Last year's harvest was relatively average, but this year's weather was good, and the grain output increased by a full 20 percent compared with before.

With sufficient grain and grass support, Feng Yuan mobilized hundreds of thousands of people and personally led an army of 100,000 people, with Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi, who were originally in Shunying, as generals, to fight a decisive battle with the Duoduo army.

In March of the twentieth year of Chongzhen, King Zhou and Duoduo fought in Xuzhou and held each other for several days.

Duoduo raided with cavalry, was bombarded by red-coated cannons, and was fired by 10,000 musketeers in turn, suffering heavy losses, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's artillery battalions were destroyed, and the Qing army was defeated.

Duoduo led the remnants of his army to retreat to Shandong.

End of March. After Feng Yuan defeated Duoduo, he sent troops to sweep through the Heluo Prefecture, east of Tongguan and south of the Yellow River, and recovered all of them.

After getting the news of the defeat, the Jingshi was shaken.

Duoduo lost thousands of Eight Banners in the First War, which almost made the Eight Banners of the Beijing Master wear filial piety, and the Eight Banners nobles were afraid, and began to pack up the gold and silver, and were ready to return to Shengjing at any time.

Although the Manchus had ambitions to enter the Central Plains, this was their long-term goal, and they did not expect to achieve it quickly.

They also thought that this time they followed the regent Dolgon, just like the previous few times they entered the customs, looting gold and silver, and returning to Liaodong after they had eaten enough.

Even they themselves did not expect that the Manchus would be able to quickly defeat Li Zicheng and occupy the entire north.

However, Dolgon is different from those feared Eight Banner nobles, and until the winner is decided, he will never abandon the north and return to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

In April, Dolgon recalled Azig's soldiers and horses on the western route, gathered 40,000 Manchu cavalry, and more than 100,000 of the Eight Banners of the Mongol Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

After the Manchu army moved south, a fleet of hundreds of warships came to the port of Tianjin.

When raising troops in Tuntian, Feng Yuan, Yuan Chengzhi and others went south to Fujian, first subdued Zheng Qiyun, the leader of the pirate alliance of the 72 islands in the East China Sea, and collected more than 100 warships.

Later, he formed an alliance with Zheng Zhilong, and played Zheng Zhilong as the general army of Nan Anbo and Fujian, in exchange for the support of Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

With the support of these sea ships, Feng Yuan's soldiers and horses were able to land in the rear of the Manchu army.

It was 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Liu Fangliang who landed in Tianjin.

These soldiers and horses were originally reorganized from the army, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a deep blood feud, after landing in Tianjin, they quickly went north, and once again the troops came to the city of Beijing.

The capital division was besieged, the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was panicked, and the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was not afraid of danger, and immediately summoned a part of the Qing soldiers left behind to defend the city.

It's just that after the Manchu army occupied the Beijing Division, they stook their land, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in the Beijing Division and Northern Zhili homeless, their families ruined, and the people's hearts lost.

After the siege of the capital, the undercurrent in the city was turbulent. Quite a few people are starting to take action.

If the Manchu army is still invincible, these people can only obediently obey the people.

But when the Ming officers and soldiers attacked the capital, these people became bold.

Yuan Chengzhi took some masters of the rivers and lakes, united those who were interested in the Ming Dynasty, acted as an internal response in the capital, disrupted the city defense, Liu Fangliang led the troops to attack, the inside should be combined with the outside, and in less than two days, the east gate was broken.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the Manchu family, women and children could no longer set off any storms.

When the army broke through the city, it turned out that the people in the capital were all crying bitterly. Full of tears, he welcomed the soldiers of the Han family who entered the city.

People are like that, they don't know what is good or bad without comparison.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, although the life in the capital was sad, ordinary people could barely survive.

As for those noble officials, needless to say, they are glorious and rich, drunk and dreaming of death, unaware that the end is coming.

Li Zicheng came, set up a torture camp, and looted the nobles, officials, and wealthy families all over the city.

The wealth of the noble officials was swept away.

The Manchu Tartars came again, and the people of the capital thought that they should live a good life, so they hung up the Manchu dragon flags one after another, and kowtowed to welcome the Tartars into the city.

As a result, it didn't take long for the land enclosure order to be held, hundreds of people were driven out of their homes, the land wealth was taken away by the banner people, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, hundreds of people died of cold and starvation.

This was followed by the Confiscation Law, which forced these people who were driven out of their homes and landless to serve as serfs in the Eight Banners.

Jingshi and the people in the north lived day by day, and finally became slaves of the Tartars. It's better to be in the Chongzhen period at the beginning, at least you can still live.

It was also the foil of Li Zicheng and the Eight Banners Tartars that the people in the north, especially in Beijing, began to turn their hearts to the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that with internal response, Liu Fangliang was able to lead his troops to quickly break through the capital.

The news of the defeat of the Kyoshi reached the army of Dolgon.

Dolgon quickly hid the news, but the news inevitably spread, and the Manchu army of more than 100,000 was in turmoil.

The Han soldiers of the Green Battalion, who were recruited, began to flee quietly.

Feng Yuan personally led an army of 200,000 and took advantage of the situation to attack, and Dolgon was defeated in a battle.

In June of the twentieth year of Chongzhen, Feng Yuan led the army, all the way like a bamboo, chased and killed the rout, and came to the city of Jingshi.

Dolgon took the remnants of the defeated army, bypassed the capital, fled directly from Jizhen, and fled back to Liaodong from the grassland.

However, the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fulin, the empress dowager Bumu Butai, and a large number of women and children of the Eight Banners were captured in the capital, and none of them escaped.
