Speaking of Fengyang Mansion looks like a big war, but in essence, the official army is far less than the Xingtian Army, and the combat power is also extremely poor, the two armies just looked at each other across the river for a few days, and did not really fight, after the two wings of the Xingtian Army crossed the Huai River, the official army of Fengyang Mansion collapsed directly, so there was almost no decent war between the two armies, and the official army easily lost Fengyang Mansion, so there was almost nothing to mention in this battle.

But after the news of the Xingtian Army's capture of Fengyang Mansion reached Ding Qirui's ears, for Ding Qirui, it was undoubtedly like five thunderbolts, the last time Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang Mansion, Chongzhen was furious, and afterwards he was held accountable and killed a lot of officials, this time he sat in Nanzhili, but he still lost Fengyang Mansion, God knows if the court will issue an order to arrest him as a governor, treat him with a crime of losing the capital, and cut off his head.

So after hearing the news, Ding Qirui can be said to be like a burning butt and jumped back to Nanjing City from Jiujiang Mansion, and immediately inquired about the situation of the first battle of Fengyang Mansion, when he learned that Zhu Dadian abandoned the city and fled, and ran to Luzhou, he was even more angry that he couldn't even take care of Sven, and scolded Zhu Dadian for being a waste and a criminal minister who caused disaster to the country.

But responsibility is a matter of responsibility, Fengyang Mansion was broken, you must find a way to take it back, after all, Fengyang Mansion is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the hometown of Emperor Laozi, the ancestral mausoleum of the Zhu family, different from other places, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you must not just throw it away here, so Ding Qirui sat in Nanzhili, and ordered the general Huang Deli to lead an army of 20,000, and immediately mobilized the officers and troops in the Luzhou area under the leadership of the superintendent Wan Wanji, gathered a total of 30,000 troops, and began to go north to Fengyang Mansion, but Ding Qirui also knew, With only the 30,000 officers and troops of Huang Degong and Wan Yuanji, it is absolutely impossible to beat the more than 30,000 people who are tortured by thieves, and they are also delivering food to others, and if they don't know that these 30,000 fresh troops will also be lost in Fengyang Mansion.

Therefore, when he dispatched Huang Degong and 10,000 yuan Ji soldiers into Fengyang Mansion, he ordered Sun Yingyuan, the general of Xuzhou direction, to lead 10,000 troops to Fengyang Mansion to attack the Xingtian Army from the flank and rear, which was not enough, and then he ordered Kong Zhenhui, the prison army sitting in Chuzhou at this time, to raise 10,000 troops and rush to Fengyang Mansion to meet 10,000 yuan Ji and attack Fengyang Mansion.

After mobilizing so many soldiers and horses, Ding Qirui still felt unsure, so he then dispatched people from Huai'an Mansion all the way out of Huai'an Mansion to join the Xuzhou soldiers from Sizhou to Fengyang Mansion and attack the Xingtian Army.

This time, Ding Qirui can be said to have made a bloody investment, and almost mobilized the entire soldiers and horses in the north of Nanzhili, and strictly instructed the generals not to retreat without authorization, and to be sure to recover Fengyang Mansion, and drive the thief army back to Suzhou at least to prevent the Xingtian thief from continuing to threaten Nanjing City.

Such an order can be said to be not severe, he let all the officials of Nanzhili understand that if Fengyang Mansion can't get it back, then the big guys will not have good fruits to eat.

After the generals from all over the country got the order, they also thought so, because they also knew the importance of Fengyang Mansion, once they could not recover it, the emperor in the court would definitely be furious again, and it was indispensable to arrest and kill a group of people to hold them responsible, so after the orders were obtained, at the end of April, they all gathered their soldiers and horses, and went to Fengyang Mansion in a mighty way.

At this time, the imperial court also learned the news that Fengyang Mansion was defeated again, Chongzhen was so anxious that he cried, ran to the temple and knelt in front of the portraits of the ancestors, and once again gave himself an edict of guilt, and at the same time, Chongzhen, who was angry, then issued an order to arrest Zhu Dadian, the governor who fled to Luzhou, and sent him to Beijing for questioning.

In addition to arresting Zhu Dadian, Chongzhen also severely reprimanded Ding Qirui and the prison army in Luzhou, and ordered him to make meritorious service and immediately recover Fengyang Mansion, otherwise, he will also be held accountable.

Chongzhen's stern attitude undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the officials of Nanzhili, they either continue to obey the yang and yin, waiting to be arrested and killed, or they can only desperately go to take Fengyang Mansion back, so after Xiao Tianjian captured Fengyang Mansion, the entire Nanzhili was completely involved, and the officials and soldiers along the way rushed towards Fengyang Mansion.

Even the official army in the Jingfu area and the official army in Shandong were completely affected again at this time, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen, who were sitting in Shunde Mansion, received a holy decree and ordered them to lead their troops to attack Zhangde Mansion, so as to contain the strength of the Xingtian Army in the north, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, also received the holy decree in Jining, ordering him to immediately send troops to attack Guide Mansion, and also contained behind the Xingtian Army to buy time for the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili.

Even on the Sichuan side, Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, also ordered to dispatch the Shu general Zhang Yingyuan out of Sichuan, down the Yangtze River, into Jingzhou, trying to put pressure on the Xingtian Army from the southwest, forcing the Xingtian Army to give up the use of troops against Nanjing.

In fact, at this time, Chongzhen no longer considered the question of whether he could recapture Fengyang Mansion, and the reason why he repeatedly mobilized troops and horses was actually just to be able to drag the Xingtian Army and force the Xingtian Army to give up the attack on Nanjing.

On the surface, it seems that the territory controlled by the imperial court is still very large, at least Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Liangguang, Yunnan and other places are still under the control of the imperial court, and the Xingtian Army only controls Shanxi, Henan, and Huguang provinces, but the fall of Huguang has made the imperial court lose a very large base of financial resources and food supply.

At this time, the finances of the imperial court became more and more difficult, in order to cope with such a large-scale war, Chongzhen at the end of April, once again ordered Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, Guyuan, Lintao, Liaodong, Jizhen, and Baoding, Jifu, Shandong, Hebei, Nanzhili towns to increase the salary of 6 million taels, so that the burden of the people everywhere became heavier, as soon as the news came out, there was an uproar everywhere, and the people scolded one by one. I only hoped that the Xingtian Army would quickly overturn and pull down the damned court and government, and the people of Nanzhili were even more moved when they heard the news, and fled to the control area of the Xingtian Army in large numbers and took refuge in the Xingtian Army.

Between the area controlled by the Xingtian Army and the area controlled by the government, almost every day, a large number of people fled into the area controlled by the Xingtian Army, and the officials and soldiers tried to stop it, but they were afraid of being attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, so they could only watch the people flee from their land in large numbers.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they can live, they will not easily abandon the land and go away, at this time, they are really forced to live, so they would rather lose their own land, but also flee their hometown to the territory of the Xingtian Army to ask for a way to live, it can be seen that in this strange circle, Chongzhen has been completely irretrievable.

Originally, after Xiao Tianjian captured Fengyang Mansion, he originally planned to immediately send troops to attack Luzhou, and after conquering Luzhou, he went down the Yangtze River to Nanzhili, but after he took Fengyang Mansion, he found that this was not necessarily the best policy, the importance of Fengyang Mansion was highlighted at this time, and the government and the opposition were shocked by this, Ding Qirui directly gave up attacking Huguang, jumped back to Nanjing, and dispatched troops and horses everywhere to prepare to recover Fengyang Mansion.

So Xiao Tianjian immediately adjusted the original battle plan in the area of Fengyang Mansion, this time they fought Fengyang Mansion, did not consume many materials and horses, the price paid was very small, all departments basically maintained a complete system, and did not even need to replenish, but collected more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, and captured a large number of materials discarded by officials and soldiers.

Xiao Tianjian ordered Shi Ran to immediately select two thousand people who could be used on the basis of this batch of officers and soldiers, and selected and promoted a group of capable generals from other departments and battalions, supplemented them to Shi Ran's subordinates, and ordered him to select thousands of people from among the people who took refuge in them, and directly formed a division in Fengyang Mansion, temporarily sitting in Fengyang Mansion to prepare in advance for the takeover of Nanzhili in the future. Training while fighting, in time, he can gradually take over the territory captured by the Xingtian Army, so that Xiao Tianjian does not have to divide his troops again and again.

The rest of the troops were also ordered by Xiao Tianjian to temporarily stop marching towards Luzhou, but stationed around Fengyang Mansion, conforming to the adjustment of the official army, giving the official army a place to wait for work, waiting for them to send it to the door.

For Luo Li, this guy, as soon as he arrived in Fengyang Mansion, he proposed to Xiao Tianjian that the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum in the south of the Daimyo Mansion should be dug down and directly dug up the ancestral tomb of their Zhu family, one is to cut off the dragon vein feng shui of the Zhu family, and the other is to humiliate the current imperial court, but his proposal was immediately reprimanded by Xiao Tianjian, although their Xingtianjun is now sworn to stand with the Zhu dynasty, but the crime is not on the ancestors of the Zhu family, and they must give the least respect to the dead. Otherwise, although it can hit the current imperial court, it is likely to be out of control, and eventually offend the people of the world.

He Xiao Tianjian has no ancestral grave to dig in this world, but the court is not polite to Li Zicheng, it is rumored that some time ago the new trilateral governor Wang Qiaonian was in Shaanxi, in order to deal with Li Zicheng who is now entrenched in Hanzhong, sent people to Mizhi to find Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, and dug the ancestral grave of Li Zicheng's family.

It can be seen that the ancients were very taboo about being dug up the ancestral tomb, he Xiao Tianjian thought that he didn't need to do this, and he could still overthrow the Zhu dynasty, so after taking Fengyang Mansion, Xiao Tianjian ordered Li Xuanzhu's men and horses to evacuate the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, and no one was allowed to destroy the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, and at the same time, a group of eunuchs who stayed in the Zhongdu Imperial Palace captured in the Imperial City of Fengyang Mansion were all sent to the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, and they were ordered to take care of the Imperial Mausoleum. Send someone to seal it up and keep it from being destroyed.
