On March 20, Gao Jie's department broke Wu Sangui and took Zhending Mansion.

However, he did not advance immediately, but waited.

He was waiting for the other two Ming armies.

The loyal battalion led by Plug Yinxi and the Sichuan army under the command of Wen An!

After the defeat of Azig in the Battle of Luoyang, these two armies rested for a while, and then galloped to the north to aid Gaojie.

The three Ming armies together numbered as much as 500,000, and the momentum was huge. And the Qing army has a total of more than 200,000 left, which still counts the troops of Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming.

The Qing army had exhausted all its might, while the Ming army did not show its full strength. Such as Huang Degong and Qin Gongming are stationed on standby in case of accidents.

In other words, the Ming army had sufficient confidence to win the battle of the Northern Expedition.

Today's Beizhili Ming army has already laid down most of it, and after Gao Jie and Wen Anzhi led their troops to arrive, Gao Jie discussed with them and decided to launch a general attack on the Beijing division from three directions.

His Chinese An Zhi led his troops to attack Tang County and Wan County in Baoding Province. Plug Yinxi led his troops to attack Gaoyang and Anzhou. Gao Jie personally led his troops to attack the city of Baoding.

Baoding is the last barrier in front of Gyeonggi. As long as Baoding is taken, you can conquer Gyeonggi at will.

And Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, who retreated to Baoding, have no way to retreat.

If you retreat further, you will find Shuntianfu, which is the Jingshi.

Duoduo, who had just succeeded as regent, had already given a death order that he must withstand the onslaught of the Ming army.

Originally, Wu Sangui was anti-minded. But he wants to wait for the price and sell, and wait until the battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties is at its fiercest, so that he can show his importance, and secondly, he can sell himself at a good price. Who would have thought that the speed of the Ming army's advance was too fast, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi were lost one after another, and Beizhili faced the Ming army's troops.

Wu Sangui was forced to go to the front line before he could react.

In the past two days, he also figured out that even if the Ming army accepted his surrender at this time, he would not give him too good treatment, after all, his consciousness was too low, and he would not express his position until the Ming army was about to recover the world.

So Wu Sangui decided to gamble desperately again. He wanted to bet that the Qing army could win this battle.

Even a pyrrhic victory is fine.

But you have to win.

Only if he wins can he have room to bargain with the Ming army, and only when he wins can he sell himself for a good price.

In order to achieve this goal, Wu Sangui will do his best in this battle......

And Duoduo also came to Baoding Mansion in order to supervise the war.

According to his words, there are eggs under the nest.

If the battle of Baoding is defeated, the Ming army will be completely victorious, and the Qing will die without a place to be buried.

Of course, martial law will be imposed in wartime, and the whole territory of Baoding Province will pursue a policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

The Qing army was convinced that this move would help force the Ming army to retreat.

After all, the supply line of the Ming army was longer, and the supply line of the Qing army was behind him.

However, they were wrong, and many people spontaneously gave their own food to the Ming army.

There were even some people who twisted their braids and carried hoes and dung forks to join the Ming army.

These ants, who usually looked humble and despicable, burst out with such powerful energy at this moment.

One or two may not have anything to do with each other, but there are thousands of people who went to defect to the Ming army, and the food they brought with them may not be much, but it is extremely encouraging to the Ming army.

This made the Ming army believe that they were the people the people really wanted to see.

From this moment on, the Qing army had already lost.

They're just struggling in vain, fighting the trapped beasts.

Those people who have been oppressed by them, those poor creatures who dare not speak out, now have to rely on, and they will count the old and new hatreds with them.

For the first time, Dodor felt fear.

No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to oppose the world. In recent years, the perverse behavior of the Qing court in Beizhili has lost the support of the people.

For a time, the three-way army attacked Baoding, and more than 500,000 Ming troops plus the people who came voluntarily had the meaning of the world's invasion of the Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, Dorgor deeply realized the powerlessness of the small clan and the big clan, and began to understand how difficult it was for Dorgon to do in this position.

But even so, this battle still has to be fought, and the blood that should be shed still has to be shed.

The Manchurians never threw in the towel.

Just when Duoduo thought that his luck had been extremely bad, news came from Shengjing that the Koreans had surrounded Shengjing. If this continues, it won't be long before Sheng Jing, who lacks troops and major generals, will be broken.

Duoduo chuckled bitterly. He finally understood why his brother wanted him not to run away. Even the old nest has been ended, and I am afraid that there is really no place for Manchurians in this world.

In that case, let's have a good fight!

......

......

Denglai Sailor successfully landed in Tanggu.

Under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong, the Ming army successfully broke through the barriers set by the Qing army and successfully landed on the beach.

This also announced that the Ming army had completely gained a firm foothold in Tanggu. The next thing they had to do was to advance to the Tianjin Acropolis.

As long as Tianjin is taken, it is a stone's throw away from Beijing.

They even had the hope of being the first to attack the capital before the other three Ming armies, which would mean great glory.

......

......

Zhu Cihong looked at the reports sent back from the front line, and his emotions were unstoppable.

Dolgon died, Azig died, and Shanxi and Henan were all recovered.

Most of the land in Beizhili has also returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Qing army has retreated in Baoding Mansion to do the battle of trapped beasts.

What made Zhu Cihong happiest was that many people from Beizhili spontaneously joined the Ming army to help the Ming army attack Baoding. This proves that the Ming Dynasty has always won the hearts of the people.

This proves that his efforts have not been in vain.

He had been planning this Northern Expedition since he ascended the throne. He had been planning for three whole years, so when the Northern Expedition really began, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

These generals have performed too well. So good that Zhu Cihong doesn't need to design too many specific details.

The mutual trust between monarchs and ministers has created the current situation.

If Zhu Cihong blindly retracts power, I am afraid that these civil and military generals will be tied up.

Zhu Cihong is very excited now.

Three years of hard work have made us what we are today. Seeing that he was one step away from recovering the Jingshi, Zhu Cihong naturally couldn't just sit in the Forbidden City.

He decided to take the lead himself.

At this time, the royal driver personally marched, and by the time Zhu Cihong arrived in Beizhili, I was afraid that the battle had already been almost fought.

But because of this, he basically does not face much resistance.

Otherwise, just the spitting Xingzi dissuaded by Wenchen could drown him.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Cihong is to be the first to enter the gate of Beijing, and he wants to let the people of the world know that the Holy Son of Heaven is always concerned about the ancestral foundation, the country, and the life and death of the people.

He wants to let the people of the world understand that the Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world.

He wants to make up for his father's regrets and revive the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
