Just when Zhu Cihong defeated Zuo Liangyu and recovered Jiujiang, the news of the Manchu 100,000 army attacking Shandong also reached Zhu Cihong's ears, and every day there were new war reports.

"Li Huaxi, you are sorry for the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, I want to punish your nine clans!" Zhu Cihong scolded, and at the same time passed down the will to destroy the Li family in Xuzhou.

Now that Jinan has fallen, the 80,000 troops in the city have been lost, and there are almost no soldiers in Shandong to defend, Zhu Cihong is worried, once Shandong is lost, the rich land of Jianghuai will become the front line, which is very dangerous, so Shandong's strategic position is very important, and it must not be lost, and troops must be sent to rescue, the Qing army will be repulsed, and the capital of Shandong Province Jinan City must be recovered.

Zhu Cihong passed down the decree and ordered the general army of the nine towns to return to the garrison immediately, especially the three towns of Jianghuai, they must return to Jianghuai as soon as possible, and be ready to go north to rescue Shandong at any time.

"Chuan Ji Feng is here to see me!"

After a while, Ji Feng walked in.

"The last general, Ji Feng, see the emperor!" Ji Feng bowed on one knee, and when he came, he had already heard the news from Shandong, and vaguely guessed Zhu Cihong's intention to call him here.

Zhu Cihong didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Ji Feng, you must have heard the news of Shandong, now the situation is critical, you have served as a general in Shandong, and you are most familiar with it, I decided to order you to lead 15,000 people of the First Army of Yinglong Army to immediately go north to rescue Shandong, be sure to defeat the invading Qing army, and recover the entire territory of Shandong, you can be confident!" ”

"Please rest assured that the emperor will live up to the emperor's expectations!" Ji Feng's expression was serious and full of confidence!

Jiujiang is at least a thousand miles away from Shandong, and it will take at least five days for Ying Long's army to arrive in Shandong, and I don't know if Shandong can still hold these five days.

"Yan Yingyuan, don't let me down." Zhu Cihong looked at the void and suddenly muttered.

Yan Yingyuan is the killer weapon arranged by Zhu Cihong in Shandong, Zhu Cihong only hopes that he will indeed live up to his reputation in history, and he really has real talent and learning, and he can block the footsteps of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Tai'an County, and win time for Yinglong's army to rescue Shandong.

A few days later, the results of the decisive battle between Daming and Zuo Liangyu in Anqing also reached the ears of Dolgon in Beijing. Dolgon was very shocked that the remnants of Jiangnan were able to achieve a great victory in Anqing and destroy Zuo Liangyu at the cost of tens of thousands of dead and wounded.

"Phew! Zuo Liangyu is simply a waste, not as good as a piece of shit! It is also known as an army of millions, but it was defeated in just over a month, and it was defeated so completely, it really disappointed this king! Dorgon yelled.

After scolding Zuo Liangyu, Dolgon sighed again: "I can't imagine that after the remnant Ming changed to a new emperor, it was like being reborn, fighting and winning successes, and recovering a lot of people's hearts, so you can't stop it!" ”

At this time, Dolgon suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, since the accession of the little emperor of the Remnant Ming, the Ming Dynasty, which was about to decay and collapse, seemed to be rejuvenated, which was not a good thing, after all, if you really want to count, the remnant Ming is the genius of the unification. If the remnants of the light are not extinguished, it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to get the world.

"Someone!" Dorgon shouted.

"The minions are here!"

"Send an order to Azig and ask him to take the entire territory of Shandong as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Dorgon commanded.

Dolgon is very clear that although there are 140,000 Qing Dynasty troops in Shandong now, only 10,000 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry and 20,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry are the most combative, and the other tens of thousands of Han Banner Army or the 40,000 horses surrendered by Li Huaxi are used to attack the city.

"It's a pity that the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is attacking Tongguan, otherwise, this king will definitely personally lead the troops south, cross the Yangtze River, and destroy the remnants of the Ming in one fell swoop!" Dorgon said with a sigh.

Dolgon's strategic vision is very strong, his goal is to dominate the world, since entering the customs, he does not take the remnants of Jiangnan in his eyes, but with Li Zi as the main threat, and sends all the main forces to destroy Li Zi as the first priority. After all, the Ming Dynasty has ruled the world for nearly 300 years, and it is recognized as orthodoxy in the world, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it may easily regain the hearts of the people and regain its vitality, which is the last thing Dolgon wants to see.

The Battle of Tai'an, 20,000 Qing troops besieged the small county town of Tai'an, which was defended by thousands of people, but it was delayed, the commander of the Qing army, Azig, was furious, and received the urging of Dolgon, and learned that Nanming had ended the war against Zuo Liangyu, once Nanming mobilized more than 100,000 troops into Shandong to rescue, it was likely to lead to the miscarriage of the Qing Dynasty's strategic plan to take Shandong.

Azig groaned slightly, and decided to personally command the army to go to Tai'an County to participate in the battle, and at the same time ordered the dismantling of the defense cannons of several large cities in Shandong, a total of more than 40 cannons went to Tai'an together, vowing to pull out this nail.

The geographical location of Tai'an is very important for the entire Shandong war situation, located in the south of Jinan City, because of the blockage of Tai'an, it is difficult for the Qing army to take Jining and other surrounding large areas, it can be said that a few counties such as Tai'an and Jining have been the last fortress in Shandong.

At this time, the news of Tai'an finally reached Zhu Cihong's ears.

"Hahahaha, Yan Yingyuan really didn't disappoint me!" Zhu Cihong smiled heartily, Yan Yingyuan did not disappoint him, after a few days, Tai'an County, Shandong finally came the good news that he had been waiting for a long time, the Manchu army was really dragged by Yan Yingyuan in Tai'an County, and lost the opportunity to quickly take the entire Shandong, all this will change again because of the intervention of Ying Longjun.

On November 13, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Ji Feng's First Army of Yinglong, under the will of Zhu Cihong, crossed the Yangtze River in Jiujiang on the same day, and went all the way north, passing through Luzhou, Huainan and other places, from Xuzhou into Shandong.

"Quick, quick!" Fifteen thousand Ying Long's army ran forward, very fast, and at the same time kept the formation neat.

Thanks to the usual training of the Ying Long Army, running is a common occurrence for the Ying Long Army, after two days of progress, the first army of the Ying Long Army finally arrived near Luzhou, only a few hundred miles away from Shandong, at most in three days Ying Long Army can enter Shandong.
