"Kill pigs and sheep at night, treat the children!"

On Anxi Fort, looking at the figure of the newly established Green Flag soldiers of the Tartars fleeing in embarrassment, Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help grinning, and his big fan-like hand slapped the back of Shi Lang's head on the side, making the young general, who was already rich in battles, grin in pain.

Shi Lang took the order to retreat, Zheng Zhipeng ignored others, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no horse team, otherwise this pursuit, let alone let Zu Kefa leave another three or five hundred people behind." ”

This place is located ten miles west of the mouth of the Sancha River in Jinmen, which is the closest place to the distance between the triangle lake and the North Canal, with a total distance of less than two miles, and after a fortress falls in the middle, it is enough to completely jam this passage.

Because of its location in the west, Zheng Zhilong named it Anxi Fort.

Of course, the Tartars could also march north along the (southern) canal from the south of the triangle, or even cross the canal, first capture Jinghai, and then attack Jinmen directly from the south, if they can flow through the swamp puddles all the way to the city of Jinmen.

Zheng Zhilong would rather build a small fortress at a key location in Jinnan than garrison Jinghai, which is not unreasonable.

In addition to the cold winter season, Jinmen's unique geographical location is the best helper for the Zheng army to garrison here.

Anxi Fort is a small fortress, and the whole scale is similar to the size of the fortress where Wang Dalei is stationed. But even so, if you want to complete it quickly, you need to use a lot of manpower and material resources.

Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhipeng to lead two battalions of soldiers and horses and 3,000 people to build the city, and the Zu Kefa Department stationed in Yang Village would not become an old opponent that Zheng Zhipeng had to face.

The latter, because of his old qualifications, is a son of the ancestral family, and is now the direct commander of the new Green Banner soldiers of the Tartars. Dolgon also replenished some of the Shun troops captured in the Battle of Shanhaiguan and replenished them to him.

And now that I have entered the customs, I am in the Qing Dynasty, and it has really become so unrecognizable to Zheng Zhilong.

First, Dolgon flatly denied that it was easy to shave his hair, and second, he did not stake his land - there must be a gradual process, and the families of the Tartars' women and children are still in their hometowns outside the gates. Now even the little emperor of Shunzhi has not yet entered the customs. The third is that there is still killing and looting, but it is far from the three lights of the past. Even Dolgon somewhat disregarded the dignity of announcing the recognition of the Ming Dynasty's fame, and also recognized the Ming Dynasty's policies of preferential treatment of the gentry. All officials who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty will remain in their original positions!

Because of the lack of manpower in the management of the Tartars, not only some masters in Yanjing City have been given the opportunity to be awarded officials, but even some talents and students can become officials, as long as you are willing to work with them!

This series of measures made Zheng Zhilong a little dumbfounded, which was too different from the measures he remembered after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

In the face of the various rules left by Zhu Ming, Dolgon simply accepted it unconditionally.

The staking is gone, the house grabbing is gone, and the Tartars don't behave like Tartars anymore.

You must know that in the original history, the Qing court ordered all the residents in the eastern, western, and central parts of Yanjing City to be expelled and their houses distributed to the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to live in, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and be displaced. For example, after Duoduo led his army to occupy Jinling, he also expelled the residents of the eastern and northern parts of Jinling City and let the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners settle in.

Can now ,......

Zheng Zhilong locked himself in the room and calmed down for two hours before he walked out of the door happy and worried.

He was glad that his presence and participation had changed history dramatically, and that the Tartars of Dorgon had to restrain their brutality and arrogance, which must have been immeasurably meritorious and saved countless lives.

The worry is that the Tartars hide their true colors so well that they will definitely make many shameless officials and gentry happy to accept them. In the long run, this has a profound impact on Zheng Zhilong's 'grand cause'.

So Zheng Zhilong is full of joy and sorrow, but on the whole, he is still happy. Doesn't it seem more cost-effective to die fewer people?

Dolgon's eyes are now more focused on Li Zicheng, since the army of Azig and Wu Sangui entered the western part of Jin, on the Loess Plateau crisscrossed by ditches, the speed of the Qing army's march is gone.

The armies of Azig and Wu Sangui could not take Datong in the north and Taiyuan in the south. After all, these are the few fortified cities in the world, and if the defenders really want to hold on to them with peace of mind, it is natural that the Tartar soldiers and horses march fast and lack heavy firepower, and they can't take the city.

In history, when Jiang Hao rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu army also besieged Datong City for almost a year, so that the food in the city was exhausted, and the internal chaos became chaotic, so it entered Datong in one fell swoop.

But now Jiang Jiu was taken to Taiyuan by Li Yan, Li Zicheng took Luo Hu as the general, Zhang Tianlin, Ke Tianxiang, and Zhang Heimian as the auxiliary, and supervised more than 30,000 soldiers to garrison Datong. He left Li Guo in Taiyuan City, and later joined the thousands of remnants led by Li Yan. This is wrong, Jiang Biao is no longer in Datong, how can he raise Datong soldiers and Zhang Tianlin and others to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

There are no moths in this Datong, more than 30,000 people are stationed, even if they are unable to defeat the Qing army outside the city, it is obviously not something that the Qing army can take in a while.

And Li Guo is in Taiyuan, and he has Chen Yongfu, a fierce general, as his deputy, as well as Li Yan and others to help him, and it is very rare for Azig and Wu Sangui to seize Taiyuan.

In this way, Li Zicheng's situation has become stable again.

And Liu Fangliang's army, which he stayed in Beizhili, although he failed to hold Baoding, did not hold Zhending, so that Duoduo, who led the troops to the south, waved his troops to Jingcheng Pass - Li Guo and Chen Yongfu, who stayed in Taiyuan, could only rush to help lead the troops to go to the guard, but asked Azig to take the opportunity to wave his troops to break the Wuning Pass, and Han Wenxuan, the envoy (governor) of Jinxi Jiedu of Dashun, was killed, and the Qing troops went straight to Xinzhou, Li Guo and Chen Yongfu could only give up Jingcheng and return to Taiyuan. So much so that Duoduo easily captured Jingcheng and opened up another passage into western Jin.

But Liu Fangliang is still insisting on Guangping and Daimyo, and he still drinks with Guo Sheng of Qilu.

That place to the south is the Yellow Flood area, when the Ming army guarded Kaifeng, the Yellow River estuary to replace the soldiers with water, the troubles have been left to this day. And the Guide (Shangqiu) in the south of the Yellow Flood Area has the Ming army.

So far, the Dashun army still controls the two prefectures of Guangping and Daimyo in the south of Beizhili, as well as the three prefectures of Zhangde, Weihui and Huaiqing in northern Henan.

Connecting a large area in the northwest of Qilu in the east, and connecting Heluo in the west to communicate with Guanzhong, at first glance it is still very momentum - Tartar has not yet broken through Li Zicheng's map encirclement.

At least Li Shun's frame hasn't collapsed yet.

Li Zicheng has already run back to Chang'an to recuperate.

He brought back a lot of silver from the capital, which gave him some capital in his hands. At least in the short term, there is no need to worry about military attrition.

And Dashun also has a large number of troops in Guanzhong, Northwest and other places, as long as Li Zicheng is given time, he may not be able to be awesome anymore. In fact, Li Zicheng is already deploying troops. He transferred Jingxiang's Yuan Zong's first department, as well as Liu Zhong and Liu Rukui in the southeast of Jin, and the party Shousu and Xin Sizhong in the northwest, all of them to Guanzhong.

One of the main reasons why Li Zicheng has been in an avalanche in history is that his actions in the capital have touched the nerves of the entire gentry class, and everyone regards him as an enemy of life and death. The front was defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there were continuous rebellions behind it. Many Ming Dynasty officials and generals surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that they were defeated again and again, and the defeat could no longer be cleaned up.

But now Li Zicheng's situation is much better than in the same period of history, and although there is still a rebellion inside, at least it is generally stable.

Azig and Wu Sangui also besieged Datong before they successfully forced down many surrounding towns, which required the army to kill the city, and the officials and people surrendered one after another.

As for Daizhou, Fanzhi, Qilan and other places north of Taiyuan, they were also changed after the Tatars broke the Wuning Pass. And Han Wenxuan, the envoy of Jinxi Jiedu who died in Wuning Pass, is a genuine Jinshi background. can give Li Zicheng loyalty to the festival, at least it can show that Li Zicheng's vest has not fallen off!

In fact, the territory that the Manchus now control is still the place where the soldiers are heading, and the ministers sent by the Tartars to Qilu and the Central Plains do not seem to be of much use. It's not at all like in history, people haven't left Yanjing City yet, and the tables sent from all over the country are piled up with Tartar desks.

Zheng Zhilong still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

When the information from all over the world is gathered into his hands, the sense of achievement that is related to the success or failure of 'Li Zicheng' is really no lower than the sense of achievement called 'Tartar Change'.

It's just that such a great achievement can't be explained to outsiders, which makes Zheng Zhilong feel like he is walking at night in brocade clothes. No wonder the overlord of Chu said: Wealth does not return to his hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. This taste is really uncomfortable, and Zheng Zhilong also has a heart to show off.

Zheng Sen was a little strange, he always felt that his father's expression was a little frivolous in the past two days, and he didn't know if it was his delusion.

"Father, the fifth uncle has sent news." Zheng Zhilong took the letter, and it was not surprising that it was the news that Zheng Zhibao was going to leave and return. Judging from the time when this letter was sent, they should have arrived at Juehua Island at this time. It is not possible to travel from Kyaw Hwa Island to Jinmen in a few days.

"You go and prepare the ship to Jinling. Go with the next fleet heading south. ”

Shen Qiyuan's individuals were a gift prepared by Zheng Zhilong to Emperor Chongzhen, who fled to Jinling, and it was when he suffered heavy physical and mental damage that he sent Shen Qiyuan, these 'good friends of the Ming Dynasty', to Jinling, so as to lift his spirits.

Judging from some of the measures taken by Emperor Chongzhen at present, the performance is much stronger than the Hongguang regime in history. First of all, the Ming army has already entered Guide Mansion, although Xu Dingguo is only a very atmospheric name.

Secondly, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that he was making an example of killing chickens and monkeys, he recruited Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Qilu, to go to Jinling to meet him, Liu Zeqing did too dirty things before, how could he dare to go to Jinling to send people's heads? Naturally, I can't go. first shouted that he was sick, and then he didn't know how to hook up with Guo Sheng, and turned into a powerful general of Dashun (Sipin, under General Guoyi), and a defense envoy of Lunan (Bingbei Road), leading the team to flee to Dongpingzhou. Although he was beaten by Liu Zhaoji, Gao Jie, and Xu Dingguo, and lost thousands of people, his strength still existed, and he struggled for his life.

Zheng Zhilong's 'forward-looking' advantage is getting smaller and smaller, but he is not angry at all.
