Sun Chuanting's own will could not survive the official will of the Ming Dynasty in the end. When the imperial court was ready to send him and his army south to the Yangtze River to launch a royal decree to suppress Li Zicheng's peasant army of the Dashun Dynasty and others, he knew that the holy will would not be violated and nothing would change.

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China have retained their vigilance against the Hongmen, Li Tianyang, the leader of the Hongmen, has been extremely stable in these years, and has never leaked the slightest hostility, which has made the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government gradually have a paralyzing mentality of the company, thinking that Li Tianyang of the Hongmen is roughly just trying to be a king with a different surname, and there will be no other actions in a short time.

In order to revitalize the mountains and rivers this time, Chongzhen also spent a lot of effort, first of all, in order to appease the biggest hidden danger overseas, Hongmen Li Tianyang and his group, but Chongzhen gave up his persistence, and actually really sealed a king of the South China Sea to Li Tianyang, and the territory is that Li Tianyang now occupies Dayuan Island, which is regarded as a precedent for the Ming Dynasty.

When he received the seal, Li Tianyang himself was frightened, but he didn't expect that what he had pursued was now coming true, which means that Li Tianyang on Dayuan Island can open his house openly and honestly, without worrying about being criticized by the Ming Dynasty.

At first, Li Tianyang couldn't understand why Emperor Chongzhen suddenly changed his temperament, and he was so generous and open-minded, until the news of the Western Expedition in the court and the final holy decree were issued, Li Tianyang suddenly realized that this was to appease himself and let himself not make any trouble at this time.

In the future, whether Hongmen takes the opportunity to send troops and begins to embark on the road of fighting for hegemony in the world, or sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sees the Ming Dynasty and the Dashun peasant army killing each other, there is no need for him to attract more attention and precautions from the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Accepted this decree logically, and at the same time expressed the most loyal attitude to Chongzhen, as well as the attitude of gratitude to Chongzhen, and the attitude of being unable to repay it, in front of Li Tianyang's superb acting skills honed over the years, it made the ministers who came to announce the decree believe it and let go of a lot of defense.

With Li Tianyang's statement, and after thinking that he was already extremely favored to Li Tianyang, Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers had no other problems with the strategy of promoting the Western Expedition.

In September of the 22nd year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty marched westward, and the army was conquered by the governor Sun Chuanting and the governor of the same governor, Zuo Liangyu, a north and an east, and a flank attack was quickly launched against Li Zicheng of the Dashun Dynasty.

This battle was the strongest offensive carried out by the Ming Dynasty after five years of brewing, and it was the manifestation of Emperor Chongzhen's determination to regain his inherent territory. In addition to Sun Chuanting's first army in the north, dispatching 150,000 soldiers, Zuo Liangyu, who had been promoted to the rank of second-rank commander and governor Tongzhi, led an army of 200,000 troops south of the Yangtze River at the same time.

After Li Zicheng of the Dashun Dynasty was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, his enterprising attitude underwent a lot of changes, and the reason for this is self-evident, that is, he was dazzled by the power and wealth in front of him.

After becoming emperor in the middle and later periods, because of the Ming Dynasty's recuperation, hoarding of soldiers and financial resources, and the heavy losses under the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the military suppression of the peasant army was reduced innumerable, which gave Li Zicheng a rare opportunity to enjoy.

Moreover, the basis of the peasant army's uprising was the vast number of people north of the Yangtze River who were persecuted by natural and man-made disasters and eventually had no way out. Now, with the suppression and rise of countless peasant rebels, the purge of the Qing Dynasty in the north, the self-redemption of the Ming government, etc., the peasant army has gradually become a legend with countless followers as before.

The people who were affected by the disaster have either turned into white bones, or have been taken under the command of the peasant army, or have become farmers with the land of hope again, and they will continue to live that life of licking blood with Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

Under several factors, the high-level of the Dashun Dynasty with low status and shallow cultural knowledge gradually began to become comfortable and enjoyable, and did not want to forge ahead, at least in the past few years, the invasion of the Dashun Dynasty into the two territories of the north and south of the capital has gradually decreased.

Of course, to say that the peasant army has no aggressive intentions at all, it must be false, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and other generals under Li Zicheng's real power faction have not dispatched large armies to attack the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the north and south. However, in the face of the Qing army, the Ming army, which was not very impressive, faced the army of the Great Shun Dynasty that was still fighting with flock tactics, and did not dare to say that it won a hundred battles, but it was also more victorious and less defeated.

With the defeat of several large-scale battles, the roots of the Dashun Dynasty were basically incomplete, but in the end, several generals and Chinese courtiers of the DPRK died down and began to paralyze themselves with the slogan of recuperating their strength, but in fact, they were powering their own territory and enjoying a luxurious life.

For example, Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun, since he set the capital in Luoyang, began to recruit beauties in the people, filling the three palaces and six courtyards of his Luoyang palace, and selected concubines on the territory of Dashun four times in just five years, each time involving more than 5,000 women, which shows how fast his fall is.

The official Ming Dynasty also acted recklessly in the northwest by the Dashun Dynasty, and even secretly bribed the Dashun officials in Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory, so that they could add fuel and vinegar to Li Zicheng's actions and corrupt the Dashun atmosphere.

At least, in the official eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the more erosive the high-level of the Dashun Dynasty, the more beneficial it would be for them to the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the official has countless years of practice and reform to study the various restrictions, restrictions, and supervision systems, but the Ming Dynasty is just an empty shell of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no systematic system, the Dashun Dynasty is actually unable to even get the most basic people's livelihood, and the people under his command are mostly complaining, and they no longer support Li Zicheng back then.

When the two armies of the Ming Dynasty launched an attack posture against the Dashun Dynasty, the official palace of the Dashun Dynasty, which was always one step late, had already been connected by the two armies for several cities, and the soldiers were not far from Luoyang City.

On September 20, Zuo Liangyu's army entered Zhoujiakou, attacked for five days, the city fell, Zuo Liangyu's army entered the city together, destroyed 100,000 peasant troops in the city, and Yuan Zongdi, the general who defended the city, led the remnants of the soldiers and horses to retreat north to Xuchang.

On September 18, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to Tangyin County, the famous mansion of Henan, and went down in three days, and then pursued Liu Zongmin, the general of Dashun, who fled eastward, directly to Puyang County, trapped Liu Zongmin with an army of 80,000 in the city, and attacked the city for days.
