When Li Xiao was intensively preparing for the establishment of the bank, the news that Tang Jun and the Ming court were making peace finally reached the Shengjing Qing court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After listening to the news of Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling underground, Huang Taiji on the dragon chair had a gloomy face like iron.

And standing next to him, Dolgon, Daishan, Haoge and other clan nobles also had ugly faces and complicated expressions.

"Emperor Qiqi, originally that Li Xiao and the Ming Court had fought with each other in Xuanfu Town, and the two sides were already hostile. But for some reason, some time ago, Li Xiao and Ming Ting actually got back together, and such a change made me feel uneasy. Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling on the ground, looked depressed.

"So, our strategy to make Li Xiao and Ming Ting fight each other has completely failed?" Huang Taiji took a breath like a toothache, he tilted his head at Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Master Fan, it seems that this fisherman's benefit, I want to get it in the Qing Dynasty, it's really not easy." ”

Listening to Huang Taiji's cold words, Fan Wencheng blushed. He remembered the scene when he proposed this plan to Huang Taiji that day, and he felt even more embarrassed.

"Hmph, Fan Wencheng's strategy, the child felt inappropriate that day. What a cunning and treacherous person Li Xiao is, how could he not understand the truth that cranes and mussels compete with each other and fishermen benefit! It's good now, Ming Ting is more and more appointed, this guy can let go of his hands and feet to deal with us. Hauge said through gritted teeth.

Huang Taiji on the dragon chair, listening to Haoge's words, he sighed lightly in his heart.

To tell the truth, on that day, Fan Wencheng put forward a plan to create rumors, so that the imperial court and Li Xiao would have mutual dislike, and they would fight among themselves, and Huang Taiji was very hopeful about this plan. Unexpectedly, this seemingly good strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight had just been launched, and it was declared a failure, which really surprised Huang Taiji.

And now, this Li Xiao, in addition to being promoted to the Duke of Tang, has gained an unprecedented degree of freedom, and the places under his rule are almost the same as an independent kingdom.

It seems that he has taken such painstaking efforts to make plans, but instead of bringing down Li Xiao, he has only added a boost to this hateful guy.

This Li Xiao!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji secretly pounded the armrest of the dragon chair in annoyance.

"Your Majesty, if Li Xiao's power grows further and cannot be contained, then this person will eventually become a fatal scourge for my Qing Dynasty." Dai Shan added worriedly next to him.

"Khan Amma! The child implored Khan Ama to give an order, and the child led 20,000 elite soldiers to cross the strait, completely uproot the castle built by Li Xiao on Sakhalin Island, and wipe out all the hateful Tang troops under his subordinates! Hauge said in a loud voice with a fierce face.

"What Prince Su said, this king also seconded it." Dai Shan hurriedly added from the side.

After listening to the words of Haoge and Dai Shan, Huang Taiji still had a gloomy face and did not speak. He vaguely felt in his heart that it was so easy to exterminate Li Xiao.

At this moment, from Hauge's side, there was a chuckle.

Hearing this teasing chuckle, Hauge turned his head angrily, only to see that it was Dorgon, Prince Rui, with a faint sneer on his handsome and cold face.

"Dolgon, what are you laughing at?!"

Hauge looked angrily at this hateful opponent who had been fighting with him all along.

Dolgon smiled, glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "Hauge, this king is just laughing at you for going to Sakhalin, and you are really dying in vain." ”

"Bastard! What did you say?! Hauge became furious, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed: "Last year's defeat was due to our army's ignorance of the enemy's situation and many underestimated enemies, this year, this king led 20,000 elite soldiers and horses to go, which is enough to wipe out the thousands of Tang troops stationed there, as well as those hateful natives who rebelled!" What kind of intentions do you have, dare to curse me like this! ”

Unexpectedly, after listening to Hauge's angry words, Dolgon snorted coldly, and said: "Prince Su, do you think that the Tang Army's ability to successfully capture Sakhalin Island is really only the credit of thousands of soldiers in that area?" Wrong, big mistake! ”

"What the hell do you mean?!"

"Hauge, what this king wants to say to you is that the Tang army was able to successfully capture Sakhalin Island and build a fort here to settle down, and the greatest contribution was not the land soldiers and horses, but its powerful sailors!"

Dolgon took a deep breath and continued: "If Li Xiao didn't have such a powerful sailor, how could he have traveled thousands of miles from Shandong, transported a large number of soldiers and horses, and came to Sakhalin Island to build a city and take root. It is precisely because Li Xiao has this powerful sailor that the key to his ability to cross the sea and occupy the island for thousands of miles! ”

Dolgon's cold words made Hauge's face turn purple, but he heard the emperor Taiji on the dragon chair nod slightly.

"Go on, Dolgon." The voice from the dragon chair came slowly.

"Your Majesty, I forgive my brother for saying bluntly, if our army wants to go to Sakhalin again now, then, when the sea has already thawed, it will have to rely on all kinds of small boats that have been temporarily collected to cross the strait many times. In this way, the younger brother dared to assert that Li Xiao's sailors must have been waiting for work at the strait, waiting for our army to come and send him to death. The 20,000 elite soldiers of our army, I am afraid that they will not even see what the opposite Kumian Island looks like, and they will be sunk by the Tang Army's sailors one after another and buried in the belly of the fish. ”

After Dolgon finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Hauge was still angry, but he had nothing to refute, and Dai Shan on the side was also speechless.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Prince Rui said is indeed reasonable. If our army is angry this time, it is very likely that it will not even be able to cross the strait, and it will sink into the sand. Fan Wencheng, who had already stood up, whispered his approval to Huang Taiji.

A long sigh came from the dragon chair.

"Alas, according to what you say, then Li Xiao, don't I have no way to deal with him now?" Huang Taiji's face was filled with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of my courtiers, now that Li Xiao is already sitting big, for such a rampant and rebellious person, only by gathering the full strength of my Qing Dynasty, entering the customs again, and attacking this person's lair in Shandong with the power of thunder, and using the power of my land war in the Qing Dynasty to offset the strength of Li Xiaoshui's division, can we completely eradicate this hateful guy and never suffer for my Qing Dynasty." Dolgon's eyes blazed.

Dolgon's words made Huang Taiji's eyes light up.

That's right, since the sailors of the Qing Dynasty are not the opponents of this Li Xiao, why not use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and use the outstanding combat power of the Eight Banners warriors to enter the customs and attack Li Xiao directly, and pull out his Shandong lair, which is a pretty good means and method.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with Prince Rui's opinion." Fan Wencheng interjected loudly: "Now our army has been recuperating from the Korean campaign since the year before last, and there has been no war, and it has been more than two years. There is a saying that if a soldier is raised for a long time, he will be lazy, and my Eight Banner warriors, as well as the soldiers of the Mongolian and Han Dynasties, have long been eager for everyone to enter the customs again and plunder the Ming Court, so as to build great strength for the country, and also to gain wealth for their own fame. ”

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dai Shan and Hao Ge were also interested and agreed with it.

In Huang Taiji's eyes, a sharp and ruthless light flashed.

"Very good, what you have discussed, I am very satisfied. This time to enter the customs again, it is also my wish! Huang Taiji stood up and ordered proudly: "Spread my decree, with Prince Rui Dolgon as the general under order, and Prince Cheng Yue Tuo as the general of Yangwu, commanding 100,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Manchurian and Mongolian Han dynasties, and entering the customs to invade the Ming Dynasty." Among them, Dolgon commanded the left wing soldiers, Yisu Prince Haoge, spared the deputy of Belle Abatai, Yue commanded the right wing soldiers, and Bei Ledudu, Beizi Nikan deputy, after collecting all the soldiers, horses, food and grass, he chose a day to go to the battle! ”

"Whew, minion obeys!"

On May 18, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Dolgon as the main general and Yue Zhi as the deputy general, known as 200,000 soldiers and horses, and attacked and killed the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth entry of the Qing army into the Ming Dynasty was delayed by more than half a year compared with the entry time in real history. However, the size of its troops, the arrangement of its generals, and the position of the Qing army's entry into the customs are basically the same as in history.

100,000 Qing soldiers divided into two wings, respectively from the wall of the ridge and Qingshan Pass to destroy the side wall and enter, Miyun governor Wu Aheng hastily responded to the battle, the army was defeated and killed, the general soldier Lu Zongwen was killed, the deputy chief soldier Ding Zhixiang was defeated and fled, the town guard eunuch Zheng Xizhao fled, the Qing army then drove straight in, deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, causing a great earthquake in the Ming court.

In order to respond to the Qing army's invasion of the pass, Huang Taiji himself, personally commanded an army of 60,000, with Prince Yu Duoduo and Prince Zheng Jierharang as deputy generals, and forced Jinzhou and Ningyuan to force the Ming army of Liaodong such as Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, Wu Xiang, etc., to only stick to Liaoxi and dare not enter the pass to help.

Hearing the news that the Qing army had re-entered the customs, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and immediately ordered martial law in Beijing. And urgently summoned Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and the soldiers and horses of Hudawei, the general soldier of Shanxi, and the soldiers and horses of Zhuzhen, to urgently enter the Weijing Division.

Subsequently, the emperor personally gave Lu Xiang the sword of the ascending fang, rewarded 100 royal horses, and 500 iron whips, and ordered him to come to Beijing in the starry night, and the governor of the world Qinwang soldiers and horses.

Of course, the emperor will never forget that in the Ming Dynasty, the most warlike Tang Duke Li Xiaozhi Tang army soldiers. After getting the news, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent someone to Li Xiao in Dengzhou for urgent help in the form of an urgent report of 800 miles.

While the imperial court messengers were still on the way, Li Xiao had already sent a message through the personnel of the Security Department to get the accurate news that the Qing army had re-entered the customs.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that it had been nearly seven years since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and the overall direction of this historical trend had not changed greatly.

However, Li Xiao, who is a hero among the people, immediately found a valuable opportunity after carefully analyzing the current situation.

That is, a great opportunity to seize the estuary of the Heilongjiang River.

He ordered that while the Qing army was going south to invade the Ming Dynasty with all its might, and the troops in the country were empty and had no time to look north, he ordered Wu Zhuang, the commander of the calm battalion, to seize the time, transfer troops, and cross west from the Tatar Strait, and then, at the fastest speed, build a brand new castle at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, in the Nikolaevsk region of present-day Russia, which was called the Temple Street Fort in the Qing Dynasty, and the size and scale were the same as the Sakhalin North Fort.

Thinking of being able to take advantage of this opportunity to firmly possess the Chinese territory occupied by the Rakshasas in later generations, Li Xiao's heart was full of excitement.

Nikolaevsk, the full name of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, is a port city located at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and is an important Far Eastern naval port in Russia today.

This vast area at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River has been China's inherent territory since ancient times, and has been China's traditional territory since the Tang Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty, this place belonged to Liaoyang Province, and the Marshal Mansion of Zhengdong was set up in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River. In the Ming Dynasty, the Northeast administrative agency Nuer Gandu Division was located on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River in this city, and the Ming government also built Yongning Temple here, and set up Yongning Temple Monument. In the Qing Dynasty, it was the jurisdiction of the Jilin General of the Qing Dynasty of China, and was officially named Temple Street in Manchu, also known as Miaotun.

It is a pity that the mediocre and incompetent government of the late Qing Dynasty is unable to protect this precious territory handed down by the ancestors. This fertile land was eventually encroached upon by insatiable polar bears.

In August 1850, the Russians occupied the area around Temple Street and renamed it Nikolaevsk after Tsar Nicholas I.

In November 1860, the Qing government formally ceded more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory, including Miaojie, to Russia. The city is now part of the Nikolaevsky County of the Khabarovsk Territory of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia and is the administrative center of the Nikolaevsky District.

This heart-wrenching modern history is a deep shame engraved into Li Xiao's soul.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army to enter the customs with all its strength and unintentionally looking north, Li Xiao ordered Wu Zhuang, the commander of the Zhendong battalion, to seize the time and opportunity to build a castle here and settle down forever, so as to drive a deep nail in the weak area of the Qing army's frontier.

And this castle is named Temple Street Fort, and Li Xiao hopes to wash away the great shame of real history in this way.

In fact, Li Xiao has been preparing for this plan to build a city at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, so all kinds of building materials have already been prepared in the north fort of Sakhalin, and only when the Qing army is unable to look north, he immediately began to implement it.

Of course, this is only the first step for Li Xiao to seize the entire Outer Manchuria, and in the future, such as Boli and Vladivostok, Li Xiao will also seize the opportunity to build them one by one.

Li Xiao planned to use such encroachment methods to make the entire Outer Manchuria, as well as the whole of Eastern Siberia, permanently become the territory under his own rule and the Chinese territory that the Tang Army would always guard.

As for the domestic troop arrangement, Li Xiao ordered that because the Qing army was attacking very fast, it was too late to transfer back the soldiers and horses from other places, so the soldiers and horses of the original expedition to the western camp did not need to return, and they could still stay in place to suppress the bandits.

The Pyongnan Battalion, which was stationed in Taiwan, remained mostly in place, and some troops were transferred to the north to replace the soldiers and horses of the Zhendong Battalion, which was expanding westward, and stationed in the areas of Jeju and Satsuma.

Li Xiao only pulled out the soldiers and horses of the C battalion from Xingzhong Town and went to Tielong City in Shanxian County to garrison it, and used the soldiers and horses of the A battalion and the B battalion of Xingzhong Town to defend Dengzhou, Shandong.

As for the Dingbei Battalion, after Li Xiao received the rescue letter from the imperial court, he immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, ordering Liu Wenxiu, deputy commander of the Dingbei Battalion, to lead the soldiers and horses of the Dingbei Battalion A and B, as well as the rampant sentry, Xuanhu heavy cavalry and Flying Harrier light cavalry, to enter the Beijing Division.

In Jintang City on Xuanfu North Road, only the soldiers and horses of Dingbei Battalion C, as well as the Manchurian cavalry outpost, and most of the auxiliary troops were stationed.

At this point, Li Xiao's troop mobilization was all arranged. Now he is most concerned about the fact that the Qing army that entered the customs this time will attack the states and counties of the Ming Dynasty according to the original route like history?

Or, will the Qing army that entered the customs this time go all out to attack itself in Dengzhou, Shandong, as if they had a premonition in their hearts?
