With such a big movement, the news naturally spread quickly. On the side of Fengyang Mansion and Yingtianfu, they all quickly learned the news, and at the same time, the news was urgently delivered to Yangzhou Mansion.

Zhang Mingwei has more information and knows that Li Zicheng's real purpose is actually Sichuan. However, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, he doesn't know if Li Zicheng will change his hexagram. In addition, he also does not know what the situation is on the Sichuan side.

In short, in this ancient period, because of the backwardness of transportation and communication, Zhang Mingwei, who came through in later generations, felt very inconvenient.

has been in Yangzhou Mansion for nearly half a month, and Zhang Huangyan has also straightened out the affairs of the transfer envoy. At the same time, the troops who had marched long distances to Jiangnan also rested.

So, Zhang Mingwei ordered Jin Zhensun under the Beijing camp to lead 2,000 infantry troops to continue to garrison Yangzhou Mansion, nominally to defend Yangzhou Mansion from being invaded by thieves, but in fact to support Zhang Huangyan and deter a possible counterattack.

Then, he led the army westward and officially began the battle against Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of Gezuo.

After this period of research, Zhang Mingwei actually still has a bit of a headache.

When he fought Li Zicheng before, because Li Zicheng was already big, after uniting Luo Rucai's men, his troops were far superior to him. Moreover, Li Zicheng already had very big ambitions and began to establish local power, so he wanted to exterminate him, so he fought the Battle of Kaifeng.

This kind of war is what Zhang Mingwei hopes for the most. Therefore, under the first battle, although he won a big victory, Li Zicheng ran away with the elite, but it still gave him a headache.

Now that his reputation is out and his troops are stronger, Zhang Mingwei has a headache to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, who are weaker than Li Zicheng.

What is he most afraid of, what he is most afraid of is a thief, mobile warfare, and fighting guerrilla with him.

Zheng Eryang, who was the governor of Daming An, Lu, Chi and Tai (referred to as Anhui Fu) at that time, wrote to him to inform him of the situation of the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo, saying, "The cunning of Ge and Zuo is no less than that of the Eight Kings, and there are more than tens of thousands of people who can fight well." The most important thing is that the 5th Battalion of the Revolution mainly relied on the Dabie Mountains (historically known as the Yinghuo Mountains) to carry out guerrilla attacks, and the situation in that area was dangerous and occupied an important strategic position.

If the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing is to the east, it will correspond to Tianfu, that is, Nanjing, pose a threat, and in the northeast, it can go straight to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and the west is not far from the Eight Great Kings, a group of thieves, and can jointly resist the imperial court officials and troops at any time.

In their proclamation to Zhang Mingwei, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo also introduced the situation of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, saying that the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left was very cunning, and that it was good at buying local people as spies, and that most of the Xingbu market dealers were used. Most of the officers and men were ambushing, and few were meeting the enemy. The search for mountains and clear fields highlights the suburbs, and the plains are lined up and the danger is deep. The thieves are the main ones, and the soldiers are the guests, and they are defeated.

To sum up, in fact, it is just one sentence, these thieves have fought for so many years, and they have been refined, and they coincide with the essence of the famous guerrilla warfare in later generations.

If the original historical development is followed, even if there is no plague in Beijing, the Ming Dynasty will most likely not be able to exterminate these thieves. And with the passage of time, the human heart is lost, and sooner or later it will be finished.

However, these people in ancient times did not have a good way to deal with guerrilla warfare, but Zhang Mingwei did.

The war in the south will wait for the two armies to meet.

……………………

At the same time, far away in Liaodong, Jianyu had already gathered soldiers and horses, including Korean soldiers, and also recruited and allocated 20,000 firecrackers.

However, the morale of the North Korean firecrackers is too low, and the quality is not good. Huang Taiji was worried that if the 20,000 firecrackers marched for a long time, it was estimated that one of them would accidentally fall on the way, so he arranged for this part of the troops to go to the area of Jinzhou in Ningyuan to defend the city.

And the troops of the eastern Mongolian tribes, a total of 30,000 cavalry, plus the Mongolian Eight Banners of Jianguo, and the cavalry army of Jianguo's own side, Huang Taiji really invested in it, and gathered a total of about 60,000 cavalry.

The expedition to Qindi, to enter the customs from Shaanxi, the distance is too far, the infantry past, too time-consuming, and now taking advantage of the autumn high horse fat, from the grassland cavalry to pass, not only can save time, but also save a lot of grain and grass.

Stimulated by the huge prospects, Huang Taiji's health has improved a lot. Perhaps only the dream of becoming a king in the Central Plains can pull him back from the sadness of losing Hai Lanzhu.

In getting along with Hong Chengchou almost inseparably, Huang Taiji almost knows everything about the situation in Shaanxi. For the strategy of Shaanxi, how to seize the world based on Shaanxi, he has scrutinized every step.

In the end, he decided to personally lead the army to the expedition, and as for the Liaodong headquarters, he left Dai Shan to take care of the family.

On this day, Huang Taiji led the Mongolian tribal chiefs, as well as a large group of leaders under him, held a grand expedition ceremony, worshiped the Taimiao, and asked for the blessing of their ancestors and shamans, so he gave an order, 60,000 cavalry troops, set off to the border pass, and detoured through the Mongolian steppe.

The city of Shengjing City, regardless of men, women, old and young, all went out of the city to see them off.

Looking at the back of the army, some people are worried, and some people are excited.

"This expedition is different from the past, it is to seize the Qin land of the Ming Kingdom, can it be done?"

"What's not to do? The master personally led the army, and when did he lose the battle? ”

"It's just that in the past, we didn't dare to think about going to Kannai. As a result, it seems that when the two major Baylors were all opposed, it was not the master who advocated entering the customs! How about now, entering the customs is not the same as playing, going once, it is a big harvest! ”

"That's right, you can rest assured, the master is in person, there is absolutely no problem!"

"I'll tell you, didn't the Battle of Songjin capture Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Kingdom? He had been the governor of Qin for a long time before, and he knew the reality of Qin land best. With him as the guide, what else is there to worry about? ”

"Then if our Qing Dynasty can really occupy the Qin land and then get the world, haha, I'm going crazy with joy!"

"That's not it, you can go out with a cage bird every day, tens of thousands of servants at home are serving, those Han women, when they see that good-looking one, they sleep, wow, I want to have that day so much!"

“……”

After talking about it, most of the Jianyu dispelled their doubts and stopped worrying. Because Huang Taiji has never let them fail, they are getting stronger day by day under the leadership of Huang Taiji, which is a fact.

As a result, outside this Shengjing City, the crowd that has been reluctant to disperse for a long time is basically laughing and dreaming.

Zu Dashou was also in the crowd of people who saw him off, looking at the back of the 60,000 cavalrymen, listening to the excited discussion in his ears, although he kept a smile on his face, but in fact, he was not in a good mood.

The secret letter sent before, I don't know if Wu Sangui can receive it.

In his opinion, with Hong Chengchou helping Huang Taiji, Qin Di is really likely to be lost.

As far as he knew, with 60,000 cavalry troops, Qin Di should not be able to stop it. The remaining key lies in whether the people on the other side of Qindi will be encircled by Huang Taiji, so as to serve Huang Taiji.

If Huang Taiji surrenders, then Qin Di may really change hands!

And the land of Qin changed hands, and the world of the Ming Dynasty ......

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou was a little afraid to think about it.

said that the Ming Dynasty would destroy the country, which was before, although it was the autumn of war, but he never thought that there would be this day, at least in his opinion, he felt that he could not see this day.

However, now because Hong Chengchou defeated the 130,000 Ming army in the Battle of Songjin, not to mention, he also surrendered Jianyu, carefully planned for Jianyu, and now confirmed the emptiness of Qin as a breakthrough, is the Ming really about to lose the country?

Huang Taiji is a person, Zu Dashou has a lot of dealings, and he also knows him very well.

In terms of people's hearts, this Huang Taiji is far more powerful than the previous Nurhachi. Under the threat of 60,000 iron cavalry, it seems that it is not difficult to use the means of Huang Taiji to convert the defeated army into a prisoner.

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou's mood became very bad and he sighed deeply.

I have also tried my best, hoping that the secret letter sent out can reach Wu Sangui's hands, so that if the imperial court knows about this in advance, and has been on guard, I believe that it will not be so easy for Huang Taiji to take Shaanxi!

The mood affected his expression, and the smile on his face disappeared unconsciously. The face was a little heavy.

Just when Dai Shan turned his head to look over, he saw that Zu Dashou seemed to be unhappy, and suddenly, he was unhappy, and immediately asked Zu Dashou: "What, are you worried about Mingguo?" ”

Hearing this, the people around heard it, and all of a sudden, a large number of eyes were staring at Zu Dashou.

When Zu Dashou saw it, he was shocked, and hurriedly denied it: "Of course not, the last general is thinking that the Tumut Department invaded the border pass of the Ming Kingdom before, and this matter will inevitably cause the Ming Emperor to be furious, and there will definitely be a remedy to prevent the Tumut Department from entering the customs and looting again." In other words, the Qindi side of the Ming Kingdom should be on guard. Therefore, the last general is a little worried, the ...... of this labor expedition"

This reason also makes sense. When Dai Shan heard this, he smiled again and said: "In front of the 60,000 iron horsemen of the Qing Dynasty, even if the Ming Kingdom is on guard? ”

"The master is wise and martial, when have you ever suffered the loss of the Ming Kingdom?" The traitor Ning Wan also smiled and echoed, "You are worrying about nothing!" ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he hurriedly examined himself, and said with a smile: "It's me who is worrying about the sky!" The master will definitely come soon with good news when he goes on this expedition! ”

Hearing him change his words, Dai Shan nodded and ignored him anymore. Because Shanhaiguan was no longer guarded by the ancestral family, Zu Dashou lost his greatest usefulness, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Slowly, the crowd of people seeing off outside Shengjing City finally dispersed. One by one, they dreamed of becoming the master of the Central Plains in the future, but they didn't expect that there was a fleet, at this time, it had quietly arrived in Liaodong.
