"Congratulations to the emperor, the traitor Li Zicheng did a lot of evil and was killed by his subordinates, he really deserved it, and the ministers implored the emperor to order the destruction of his nine clans to set an example!" Li Zicheng was defeated, and immediately a hundred officials entered the palace to report the good news, and asked Zhu Ci to issue an order to destroy Li Zicheng's nine clans.

Of course, this is only in name, for the people to see, in fact, Li Zicheng's nine clans are almost dead, and those who are not dead don't know where they are hidden.

Not only did he issue an edict to exterminate Li Zicheng's nine clans, but also the minister proposed an amnesty to the whole world, and the whole world celebrated!

Although Zhu Ciji didn't care too much, he still nodded in agreement.

He can understand the hearts of the ministers, since the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led hundreds of thousands of troops to break through Beijing City, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to death, Li Zicheng has always been a heart disease in the hearts of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cicheng as the prince of Chongzhen, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, should be the same as the ministers to behave more in line with common sense, how can this kind of thing sweep the prosperity of the ministers.

Immediately, Zhu Ci issued an order to punish Li Zicheng of the nine clans, and granted amnesty to the world, and the whole world celebrated.

Although Li Zicheng has been defeated, the war in Henan is still not over.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the fourth year of Zhongxing, 230,000 Ming troops rested in Nanyang City for three days, under the leadership of Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady, they waved their troops on their backs and prepared to occupy Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places to recover the entire territory of Henan.

Now, the three forces in Henan, Li Zicheng was defeated, and Wu Sangui only had 40,000 Guanning iron cavalry left, and no one could stop the 230,000 Ming army, including the 20,000 Yinglong army.

On February 1, the Ming army approached the city of Luoyang.

Wu Sangui attacked with 40,000 Guanning iron cavalry, however, he was quickly defeated and the Ming army captured Luoyang.

On February 4, the Ming army pursued Wu Sangui to Kaifeng, Wu Sangui once again took the Guanning iron cavalry to attack, still defeated, and then felt that he could not resist the Ming army, Wu Sangui crossed the Yellow River with the remaining more than 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, fled from Henan, and entered Shanxi!

After Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun left, none of the Qing troops in Henan had the strength to resist the Ming army.

On February 7, the Ming army divided into four routes and attacked the four directions of Henan, and the Qing troops in various places surrendered when they heard the news.

On 10 February, as Anyang County, the last city of Henan, was captured by the Ming army, the Ming army completely controlled the entire territory of Henan.

On 14 February, news of Henan's liberation reached Nanjing.

Zhu Ci was overjoyed and issued an order to reward Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady and others, as well as all the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Henan.

For Yang Kun, Zhu Ci was not stingy, and directly sealed him the official position of a third-grade military general.

The city of Beijing, the regency of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"What do you say! Li Zicheng was defeated, and Henan was all captured by the Ming army? Dolgon's face turned grim, and he said in disbelief.

"Wu Sangui! Isn't he known as an immortal? Isn't his Guan Ning army very powerful, why did it lose so quickly! Dolgon cursed, and was so angry that he swept the teacups and a pile of folds on the table to the ground.

According to Dolgon's original assumption, Li Zicheng could hold out for at least two months, and with Wu Sangui, if the Ming army wanted to capture the entire territory of Henan, it would take at least four months, or even longer, but now, in less than a month, Henan was completely captured by the Ming army, which made Dolgon how to accept it, he couldn't imagine that the war would develop like this.

Could it be that Ying Longjun is so powerful? The Red Women's Army only has 20,000 more Ying Long Army to assist and defeat Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui so quickly? This is so counterintuitive.

"Li Zicheng is that waste material! I really can't understand how he captured Beijing City back then, pigs are more useful than him! After Dolgon scolded Wu Sangui, he turned to scold the dead Li Zicheng.

He was so disappointed in the two of them.

At present, the Qing Dynasty needs time, and in any case, the Ming army cannot be allowed to pacify Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong so quickly, otherwise the next time Zhu Ci will have to wave his troops north, but now is not the time, the Ying Long Army of the Qing Dynasty has not yet been trained, and some parts of the new artillery of the Ming Dynasty have not been obtained, and the Qing Dynasty will take at least half a year.

"It seems that Zhang Xianzhong must send someone to help, and Zhang Xianzhong can't be defeated quickly like Li Zicheng!" Dolgon secretly decided.

"Someone, Tuo Yue, who is inlaid with red flags, has come to see this king!" Dorgon commanded one of the guards.

Half an hour later, Tuo Yue came to the Regent's Palace.

"Tuoyue, this king won't hide it from you, this king wants to send your red flag to Sichuan to help Zhang Xianzhong resist the Ming army, and be sure to drag the Ming army to death in Sichuan, which is related to the life and death of my Qing Dynasty!" Dolgon's expression was solemn.

Tuo Yue was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand why he sent his red flag to Sichuan to help Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't understand why this would be related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty.

Although he was full of doubts, he could not say anything doubtful when he saw Dorgon's extremely solemn expression.

Tuo Yue is the eldest son of Dai Shan, and he is considered to be a person from the side of the little emperor of Shunzhi, although he has always refused to accept Dolgon's forced pressure on the little emperor of Shunzhi and acted as an agent for the government, but he also has to admit that Dolgon's talent is indeed the highest in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no one in the Qing Dynasty who is more suitable for power than Dolgon.

Tuo Yue was well aware of Dorgon's arrogance, and he knew that Dolgon would never joke casually, especially this kind of important matter related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty.

"What you're saying is true? Does Zhang Xianzhong seem to be defeated quickly, is it really a matter of life and death for my Qing Dynasty? For the first time, Tuoyue looked Dolgon in the eye without fear.

"Yes, this king can tell you clearly, this king has mastered the drawings of the Ming Yinglong Army's standard weapons, and is secretly establishing a Yinglong army like the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Yinglong Army of the Qing Dynasty is completed, the Ming Dynasty will not be worried, but this will take time, at least half a year, during this time period, if the Ming army takes the first step to exterminate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, it is likely that it will immediately wave its troops to the north, and then the Qing Yinglong Army is not built, and it is impossible to rely solely on the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to fight against the Ying Long Army of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I want you to go to Sichuan to help Zhang Xianzhong because I want you to find a way to entangle the Ming army to the death, the longer the better!" Dolgon's sincere request for Toyue.

Since Duoduo died in Xuzhou, there is only one Azig left by Dolgon's right-hand man, but unfortunately Azig is just a brave and unscrupulous person, and it is not realistic to send him to Sichuan to help Zhang Xianzhong, only Tuoyue is the most suitable, and Dolgon has no choice.

"In that case, I will ask Yue to take the order!" Toryue took a deep breath and solemnly accepted Dorgon's orders, he chose to trust Dorgon.

Dolgon nodded with satisfaction, it is up to man to succeed in heaven, he has done everything he can, whether Daqing can win or not depends on the will of heaven.
