Time flies, a few months have passed, and it is already the spring and March of 1651.

The Northeast is no longer bitterly cold, and the ice and snow have long since melted and merged into streams, slowly flowing into the boundless sea.

The Jiaozhou shipyard had already completed the construction of all the ships, and just waiting for Liu Xia's order, it began to transport the tens of thousands of soldiers of the White Tiger Legion to Liaodong to attack the Tartars. As for the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, which was now completely in the hands of the naval army of the Pingbei Army, Liu Xia sent another regiment of soldiers and horses to guard the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, using the local people, ignoring the shouts of those Korean nobles, and letting them work for Liu Xia. An impregnable city had been established in Korea, and soon it became the political center of the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the Korean people preferred to have the Han Chinese rule them. No matter how unhappy the Korean royal family was, they did not dare to offend the Pingbei army after learning what happened to the Chinese Tartars.

Judging from all indications, these Pingbei troops do not have the word friendly at all, at least for them, they are not friendly at all.

In April, the Suzaku Legion in the north began a tentative offensive against the Qing court. Dolgon sighed a little decadently in the city of Beijing, and said, "What should come is here after all." But Liu Xia, don't be too complacent, this king won't let you feel better. ”

"Someone, send an order to the Heilongjiang generals, as well as several princes of Liaodong, let them gather all the soldiers and horses, this king has been recuperating for all these years, and he is going to carry out a counteroffensive. Hmph, this king will let you Liu Xia take a look, this king's killer feature! ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Dolgon's mouth, not only did he have a large number of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, but also the help of the Mongol cavalry, which made him very confident. As for the little emperor of Forlin, Dolgon did not disclose your death, but still found a similar person to act as him, and trapped the fake Fulin in the forbidden palace and did not allow anyone to see him. This provoked opposition from many ministers, some of whom went so far as to insult Dolgon in court. But the end is certain, it's dead.

The Forbidden City was still resplendent in gold, and the Tartars lived here for a few years, and gathered a large number of migrant workers to repair the palace and rebuild the palaces that had been burned down due to the war. There is a hint of weirdness, or tension, in the city of Beijing.

The Suzaku Legion had already begun to tentatively attack Beijing, which made the people in Beijing, especially the Tartars, a little worried, they did not know that Dolgon had gathered all the soldiers and horses of Liaodong to come, and thought that there were only more than 40,000 people in their hands, and they were not worried about it.

The Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion have been stationed near Beijing, and they have captured a lot of Manchurians around there, as long as they have a pig's tail whip on their heads, they can't catch them, and then check whether they are Tartars one by one, even if they are not Tartars, they can't be easily released, since you have cut your hair into a whip, then you have betrayed the Han people, which is a traitorous act. It must not be spared. Of course, there are some who are forced, and these can be magnanimous.

The behavior of the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion made the people around who cut their hair into whips because of their flattery frightened, and they began to buy wigs one after another, and the wig market was hot for a while.

The sound of the Vermilion Bird Legion's artillery can be heard in the city of Beijing, and it is also restless in the dark night, and a strong and dazzling light flashes in the sky from time to time, and many people think it is lightning, but in fact, it is caused by the explosion of the cannonball.

Those who approached the gates could even feel the houses shake by the shock, which scared them.

However, the Han people in the city were very happy, and they had been looking forward to finally bringing the Pingbei Army over, wasn't this exactly what they wanted? Although the Tartars were much stronger than the Mongols, and were not as inferior to the Han Chinese, their status was not too high. Generally, the Manchu killing Han people is not a major crime, and they will not be sentenced. But if the Han people provoked some of those Manchus to be killed, they would be very happy.

This kind of torment is unbearable for them.

But before the Pingbei army entered the city, they did not dare to make the slightest move.

In May, the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion sent 20,000 troops to start the battle against the Tartars, and Dolgon sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy, and the two armies suffered numerous losses in the three days of the battle. However, the Suzaku Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion suffered much fewer casualties under the cover of steel cannons and muskets. As for the Tartars, countless were killed by artillery. On the fourth day, the Tartars 20,000 soldiers and horses could not stop the artillery bombardment and reluctantly retreated to the city, although Dolgon also mobilized hundreds of red-coated cannons from other places, but these red-coated cannons were not as powerful as the steel cannons of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the firing range was much shorter than this steel artillery, so soon those red-coated cannons were destroyed by steel artillery, and the first battle, the Pingbei Army won.

Dorgon watched as his men and horses were defeated, losing nearly half of their losses. He wasn't worried, he still had a sneer on his face, and the contempt at the corners of his mouth made the people around him unpredictable.

It stands to reason that the Pingbei army has attacked the city of Beijing, and Dolgon does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he should be frowning and worried. Why are you still so calm? Some of the Manchu nobles around him began to cautiously persuade Dorgon to abandon Beijing and return to Liaodong. Anyway, it seems to them that this Beijing was also snatched from the Han people, and now there is nothing to lose it.

But this is not the case in Dolgon's heart, Dolgon is a man with great ambitions, and his ambitions can be said to be very large, huge and want to unify the world. This Beijing is his lifeblood, and he will never leave it until he has to. Maybe he will live and die with the city of Beijing.

Although he will not hang himself on the coal mountain to Emperor Chongzhen. But he will definitely not be a prisoner of the Pingbei Army.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Dolgon, the Tartar nobles began to transfer their families, and they had already transferred a lot of gold and silver treasures to their homes in Liaodong as a precaution, but they still had some confidence in their Eight Banners. But now that the enemy army has attacked the city of Beijing, they can no longer sit still, looking at the powerful artillery outside, the city of Beijing will be bombed to pieces sooner or later, and it will not be able to stop the attack of the Pingbei army at all. Once the city is breached, it is almost impossible for these nobles to survive.

They knew very well how they treated the Han people before, and once the Han people turned around, they would definitely not spare them.

Dolgon was not worried at all, because his secret legion had already begun to assemble from Liaodong to Beijing, and once these 100,000 soldiers and horses arrived, the annihilation of these so-called Blue Dragon Vermilion Legions was just around the corner. Although these 100,000 soldiers and horses are not all elites, and there are some of them who are indiscriminate, but the number is more than twice that of the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion, plus the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing now, a total of 130,000 people.

Dolgon believed that with these 130,000 soldiers and horses, it was not impossible to attack Luoyang.

"Liu Xia wait, once the king's soldiers and horses arrive, it will be the end of your Pingbei Army, what bullshit Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu is a pile of rubbish. Hmph, this king will definitely kill you dogs. ”

Dolgon didn't know that when he was calculating Liu Xia, Liu Xia was not idle. The same is calculating him.

Liu Xia immediately issued an order to the navy in Jiaozhou, asking the navy to escort dozens of treasure ships loaded with soldiers to land at Lushun on the Liaodong Peninsula. (Call Lushun for the time being) There are not many people in Lushun who are idle, and it can be regarded as sparsely populated. So the benefits of landing in that place are still obvious. If you land in Jinzhou, you can quickly block Shanhaiguan, but the danger index is also very large, once alerted by the Tartars, these ships will not be able to get to the shore at all.

Soon, under the personal leadership of Yu Mingjun, hundreds of ships began to march towards the Liaodong Peninsula, and after a day of rushing, the outline of Lushun could be clearly seen. The trees above are full of life, like a primeval mountain forest.

"All get ready, cheer up, everyone get ready, start landing! Be on alert, and once you find the enemy, you must not panic, and you must annihilate them all. ”
