Jingshi, Manchu court.

With the defeat of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, only a large force in the Western Ming Dynasty was left in the whole of China, and the attention of the Manchu and opposition authorities had long been shifted to Wuchang.

On 16 July, as soon as the news of Liu Xi's proclamation of the Han dynasty in Wuchang and the establishment of an official system came out, the Manchu Qing Dynasty arranged spies in Wuchang quickly spread the news.

"Urgent military intelligence!"

On 18 July, a fast horse galloped into the city of Beijing.

After a while, the bronze bell in the Forbidden City rang throughout the city.

The Manchu Emperor Fulin summoned his ministers to discuss the national policy.

In the original Huangji Palace, which was renamed the Taihe Palace, hundreds of Manchu and Han ministers in Beijing gathered here.

It's just that unlike usual, today's court meeting is dull.

When the personnel arrived, the regent Dorgon, who was sitting beside him, said in a deep voice:

"The summons of the secretaries today are for the affairs of Wuchang."

The ministers in the palace were shocked, especially the Ming ministers who surrendered such as Hong Chengchou, and their hearts fell even more when they saw this situation.

Dolgon took out a Central Plains newspaper and shook it, "The day before yesterday, Liu Ximing, the puppet prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, established a state in Wuchang and proclaimed himself the king of Han, and set this year as the first year of the Han Dynasty, with 740,000 troops. At the same time, it has been announced to the whole country that 400,000 troops will be sent to attack our Qing Dynasty. ”

"Wow"

"Liu Ximing usurped the throne?"

"Only 400,000 troops were sent, and it is ridiculous that such a small number of men and horses want to attack my Daqing."

In the Taihe Palace, there was an uproar.

Hong Chengchou, Liu Hanru and other traitors were all stunned.

This prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ximing, who claims to have high hopes for the Han people in the world, will also usurp?

But then, the traitors began to laugh happily in their hearts again.

In this way, even if the Ming Dynasty is dead, can it be regarded as the same thing for me to wait for the old ministers to turn their backs on the enemy and defect to the enemy?

The Wuchang puppet dynasty even dared to call us traitors, which is simply unreasonable.

Ao Bai, the commander of the protectors, immediately laughed and clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, the regent, the puppet Ming is already weak, and now there is still civil strife, it is when I attack in the Qing Dynasty, and I also ask the regent to order, the last general is willing to lead 200,000 troops to sweep Wuchang."

Dolgon shook his head with a heavy face, "Don't be careless, Azig has led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to Henan and the puppet Ming, and now the puppet Han has been confronting each other, and the Han army has always firmly controlled Luoyang and Nanyang, which shows that its combat power is not weak." ”

"Why should the regent raise the prestige of others to destroy his own ambition, now Prince Yu has 500,000 troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty in the area of Beizhili, as long as he advances in several ways, he will definitely be able to exterminate the hypocrite."

Prince Hauge of Su came out of the queue with an unconvinced face, he was already dissatisfied with Dolgon's power, and now seeing that Dolgon was still more cautious, he immediately broke out.

"My Qing Dynasty soldiers kill Han dogs like killing local chickens, what about the 400,000 people in the puppet Han District, this king asks for his life, and also asks His Majesty's quasi-ministers to lead the army to the south."

"Yes, the Southern Expedition, the Southern Expedition!"

In the Taihe Palace, a group of Manchu generals were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Duoduo's successful breakthrough in Jiangnan made everyone red-eyed, Jiangnan is so weak, then the Wuchang Imperial Court will not be so powerful.

At present, if you don't eat such fatty meat, aren't you sorry for yourself?

When they first entered the customs, the total number of Manchu soldiers and horses was only about 200,000.

However, with the defeat of the Nanjing Imperial Court and the continuous gathering of traitors from all over the country to join the Green Battalion, the current Manchu soldiers and horses have expanded to about 1.2 million people.

Most of them are green battalion soldiers, but when attacking Nanming, their combat power looks very good.

This undoubtedly gave great confidence to the people in the Manchu dynasty and the opposition.

In the face of the surging emotions of the crowd, Dorgon had no choice but to ask for Fu Lin, and once again announced:

"Okay, since the puppet Han doesn't know what to do, then my Qing Dynasty just happened to destroy it in one fell swoop, and it also happened to unify China and become the lord of China."

"Hauge, Aobai...... Listen to orders. ”

"In"

"Order you to lead 150,000 soldiers and horses to the south, converge with Azig to attack the puppet Han in the west, and send an order to Prince Yu to let him wave his army to the west and cooperate with Azig to act."

"Roar"

~~~

While Hauge and the others were cheering and cheering in Beijing, Duoduo scratched his scalp in Nanjing.

The 200,000-strong army led by Liu Xi, the king of Han, had already begun to descend the river.

According to the spies, the warships on the Yangtze River were like clouds, and their morale was skyrocketing.

Duoduo, who got the news, hurriedly recalled the soldiers and horses stationed in various parts of the Yangtze River, and led 350,000 soldiers and horses from Nanjing to Jiangxi to intercept Liu Ximing's army.

However, before the army led by Duoduo and the army under Liu Ximing fought, Zheng Jingcai of Jiangxi fired the first shot.

After participating in the founding ceremony of Wuchang, Zheng Jingcai rushed back to Nanchang with Pegasus.

The Han State had 150,000 troops stationed in the Jiangxi area, and it had always shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting the Manchu invasion.

Duoduo also wanted to take Jiangxi after capturing Jiangnan, but Zheng Jingcai's naval army was too powerful, and the Qing army did not dare to fight again after suffering several losses under the offensive of the Han army.

It is precisely because he knows the details of the Han army that Duoduo has such a headache.

Under the city of Nanchang, Zheng Jingcai directly led two divisions of 40,000 troops to set off from this place and rushed straight to Raozhou in the east.

"Knock Knock"

It only took two days for the army led by Zheng Jingcai to gather under the city of Raozhou, and the war drums at the head of Raozhou City sounded in unison.

The keeper of Raozhou City is an old acquaintance of the Liu family, Gushan Ezhen Yechen.

After the battle between Zhending and Jingcheng Pass, the Manchu Qing finally figured out who killed Tan Tai in the first place.

The person who was most concerned about the conclusion of this headless public case was Wanyan Yechen, a participant at the time.

Now facing the army of the Liu family, which has been renamed the Han Army, Ye Chen's eyes are split.

"Hurry up, get the boiling oil ready, and wait until the Han dog comes up and pour it directly for Lao Tzu."

In order to fight this battle well, Ye Chen took the lead and personally went up to the city wall to command.

As the first line of the Manchu Qing Dynasty against the Zhengxing Dynasty, Raozhou had 50,000 soldiers in one prefecture.

The sufficient army gave Ye Chen great confidence, and he had already learned the news that Prince Yu Duoduo was leading a large army to come, as long as he could hold Raozhou, it would be a great achievement.

However, before the defenders of Raozhou City could be prepared, changes directly occurred on the battlefield.

The 40,000 army led by Zheng Jingcai spread out in unison, directly surrounding the west and north and south sides of Raozhou City, leaving only the east for them to escape.

The tens of thousands of troops in the west did not even set up tents at all, and an artillery brigade directly pulled 180 guns to set up an artillery position directly opposite the west gate.

In the midst of the wild beating of the eyelids of the Qing soldiers in Raozhou, the artillery under Zheng Jingcai opened fire.

"Boom", "Boom"

Like the roar of the god of thunder, nearly two hundred artillery pieces fired a salvo at the same time, and the smoke and dust raised enveloped the entire Han army's position.

"Bang"

The sound of iron cannonballs hitting the city wall was crisp and dull, and it sounded so wonderful to the ears of the Han soldiers.

But the defenders of Raozhou City did not have the slightest idea of this.

"Ahh

Dozens of screams rang out.

The cannonballs hit the city walls, splattering up fragments of stone that cut directly past the bodies of dozens of Qing soldiers.

The head of Raozhou City suddenly became very bloody.

The Han soldiers under the city did not even give the Qing army a chance to take a breath as if they didn't want money for cannonballs, and the continuous artillery fire continued to fall, and large cracks began to appear in the entire western wall of Raozhou.

With a "boom", after withstanding the bombardment of more than 3,000 shells, the entire western city wall of Raozhou City collapsed with a bang.

In the Han army, Zheng Jingcai watched this scene without surprise.

When the smoke on the walls had eased a little, he nodded to his herald.

"Doodoo"

The sharp sound of the military horn sounded instantly, and the killing sound of more than 10,000 Han soldiers shook the sky and rushed directly from outside the city to the city.

At the moment when the western city wall collapsed, Ye Chen was carried by his own soldiers and rolled down from the city wall.

Fortunately, the stairs on the city wall collapsed last, which allowed Ye Chen to escape.

But if you fall from such a high place, anyone will be dizzy.

When Ye Chen stood up dizzily and looked at it, he suddenly became crying without tears.

O warrior of the Qing Dynasty.

The nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers who were originally defending at the head of the city were rewarded when the city wall collapsed.

The remaining departments that were preparing reinforcements at the city gate looked even more stupid and panicked.

Ye Chen shook his head vigorously, and the money rattail whip snapped on his face, bringing him a hint of sobriety.

"Warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty, prepare to kill the enemy!"

"Bang"

A bullet came from the side of the city wall and passed through Ye Chen's head squarely, directly understanding his sinful life.

Looking at the bottom of the collapsed city wall of Raozhou, dense Han soldiers in red military uniforms flocked to it.

The Qing army in the entire city of Raozhou was almost invincible.
