"Two generals, we don't want to fight anymore." As soon as Gu Luge heard that the Mongols were going to attack Yan'an Mansion, he immediately vetoed it, "Although we are very grateful for your leniency in the past few days, we just want to go home. ”

"General Guruge, I'm afraid you can't do anything about this." Han Wantao said with a smile, "Originally, our Lord Lu meant to hand you over to the imperial court or Lord Yang Sichang in Luoyang, but it was me and General Xu who gave you this opportunity to fight for. ”

Han Wantao and Xu Lang coaxed and frightened them, and Gu Luge and Hang Gao finally agreed to attack Yan'an Mansion. At the same time, Han Wantao also promised not to use the Mongols to climb the city wall, the artillery of the Yulin army would blast open the city gate, and the cavalry division would also assist them.

Luoyang's Xia Yang received a letter from Han Wantao and Xu Lang, it was already early September, Xu Lang estimated that Huang Taiji and Tao Min should have sent troops, and Jiang Beiming would definitely have a hard time fighting in Beijing. Therefore, Xu Lang asked Xia Yang to move Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou to make all preparations for attack, and his side first recovered Yan'an and drove Liu Zongmin back to Xi'an. When all the rogues gathered in Xi'an, the Ming army clenched into a fist and finally gave them a blow.

Shi Kefa's army was about 150,000 or 60,000, and the last 40,000 people were still seven or eight days away from Luoyang under Shi Kefa's leadership. According to the news from Xi'an, Li Zicheng launched several tentative attacks on Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, but they were all blocked. After receiving the letter, Xia Yang immediately went to find Yang Wenyue, Yang Wenyue did not immediately tell Yang Sichang about this plan, but went to say hello to Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou first, because Yang Wenyue knew that Yang Sichang had always been worried about the Yulin Army's disobedience to Lu Xiangsheng's reinforcements.

Han Wantao hurriedly walked into the big tent of the barracks: "Xu Lang, Lu Xiangsheng agreed to our attack plan, our Yulin Army and the Mongols will attack Yan'an, and he will take his people as a reserve. ”

After Han Wantao finished speaking, he saw Xu Lang bowing his head and did not answer: "What's wrong with you, you're going to attack tomorrow, do you have any questions in mind?" ”

"There's not a problem." Xu Lang raised his head, "I'm thinking about Luoyang and Beijing. He should have received our letter to Xia Yang now, do you think Yang Sichang can be ready? , Also, where can Huang Taiji and Tao Min go now? ”

Han Wantao said with a smile: "How do I know this, I will take care of the war, these things are the responsibility of your chief of general staff." ”

"Wan Tao, there shouldn't be any problems in Yan'an tomorrow." Xu Lang ignored Han Wantao's joke, "I'll write a letter, and you find someone to send it to Jiang Beiming and tell him about the situation here." I want to go to Luoyang when I get to Yan'an, and Shi Kefa should also go to Luoyang now. ”

Han Wantao knew that Xu Lang met Shi Kefa on the way to Beijing: "That's okay, you can talk to Shi Kefa when you go to Luoyang, there are me and Zhou Lei, as well as Zhao Qi and Andreas, there will be no problems." ”

The 100,000 Korean New Army and the 50,000 Eight Banners had already set off from Shengjing, and Tao Min still wanted to fight fast and slow this time, so he didn't make a detour and went directly to Jinzhou from Shengjing. Huang Taiji personally wrote a letter to Zu Dashou, hoping that Zu Dashou would recognize the situation and not make unnecessary resistance.

The 150,000-strong army marched forward mightily, Wang Zhaoxing of Dengzhou and Zeng Guangxian of Tianjin received Jiang Beiming's order at the same time, and the combined fleet left Fuzhou in Tianjin just in case, and the rest of the warships quickly sailed to Lushun to cooperate with Lushun's Ming army to attack Shengjing. Zheng Zhilong returned to Japan after receiving the holy decree, Chongzhen meant to let Zheng Zhilong attack Busan from Japan, but now Zheng Zhilong is preparing no one.

It was only 500 miles from Shengjing to Jinzhou, and the Eight Banners and the Korean New Army walked for five days, almost half of the way. In the evening of that day, 150,000 troops were encamped, and Huang Taiji had just rested, and Haoge hurriedly came to him: "Father, Prince Li has sent news from Shengjing that Bardazi of the Sauron Department has been attacked by Bomu Bogol and asks for assistance. ”

Huang Tai Teng turned over and sat up: "Bomu Bogol is going to attack Bardazi now?" ”

"Back to my father, that's what the messenger said." Hauge replied, "The man who came is outside the tent, does my father want to see him?" ”

"Xuan, call Fan Wencheng again."

As soon as Huang Taiji left, Dai Shan received an urgent document from Bardaqi in Shengjing, and Bomu Bogol gathered 6,000 soldiers and horses to attack him with all his might. And on the emergency document, Bardazi also said one thing, there is a team of more than 100 people among the men and horses of Bomu Bogol, all equipped with firearms that can fight more than 30 zhang, and the firepower is so fierce that he cannot resist.

After listening to the messenger's relay, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng, who rushed over by order: "Fan Aiqing, how can Bomu Bogol have our flintlock pistol?" ”

Fan Wencheng knew what Huang Taiji meant by asking, and he was suspicious of Tao Min. But Fan Wencheng felt that Tao Min had no reason to do so, how could he possibly help Bomu Bogol.

"Back to the emperor." Fan Wencheng replied, "In addition to our and Tao Min's Korean New Army, the Ming Army and the Yulin Army also have this kind of firecracker. ”

"Impossible." Huang Taiji shook his head slightly, "Yaksa City is far to the north, and they probably don't even know about the Sauron Tribe. ”

"Father." Hauge on the side said, "Did you call Tao Min to ask?" ”

"Nope." Huang Taiji shook his head again, "This matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and no rumors can be leaked." Hauge, you immediately take 10,000 horses back to Shengjing. Tell Prince Li to be extremely careful, and at the same time inform Zilharang to keep an eye on the movements of the Ming army in Lushun. ”

"Is that the need to go to the aid of Bardazi?" Hauge asked, Baldazi was the forehead of the Qing Dynasty.

"You can just make up your mind with Prince Li on this matter." Huang Taiji didn't think that Bomu Bogol could set off much of a storm, and after speaking, he turned his head to Fan Wencheng and asked, "Fan Aiqing, how many people are from our direct guards?" ”

"Back to the emperor, all the five thousand guards directly under him are here to defend the emperor."

"This guard is now under your command." Huang Taiji commanded, "No one is allowed to interfere. ”

Fan Wencheng hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, and the minister will desperately protect the holy car." ”

Huang Taiji thought for a while: "Let people inform Tao Min to accelerate the march tomorrow." If Jinzhou's Zu Dashou has any resistance, let him take Jinzhou. ”

Chen Yuhan and Bomu Bogol stood outside the Bardaqi Department and looked into the distance, and 6,000 men and horses and 120 flintlock muskets easily defeated the Bardaqi Department.

A clansman ran over and knelt on the ground: "Qi Great Khan, Bardaqi ran in the direction of Shengjing with people, shall we chase or not?" ”

"You don't have to chase it yet." Bomu Bogol was a little triumphant, "Send people out, inform the surrounding tribes, and say that Ben Khan is here to entertain them, and they must all come." ”

Chen Yuhan was a little worried about the safety of Ji Tonghai in Shengjing: "Great Khan, should we garrison troops here, our prince means to go to Ningguta." ”

"General, don't be in a hurry." Bomu Bogol smiled, "Let's subdue the surrounding tribes first." We are still too few people now, and when these surrounding tribes come, we will be able to have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we will be severely damaged by Huang Taiji at that time. ”

News from all walks of life continued to reach Jiang Beiming's hands in Beijing.

Yan'an Mansion has been recovered, and Liu Zongmin and Zhang Xianzhong retreated to Xi'an with tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army; Han Wantao and Xu Lang did not break their promise, about 2,000 Mongols were willing to join the Yulin Army, Han Wantao combined them into a cavalry regiment under the command of Andreas, and the rest of the Mongols were led by Guluge and Hang Gao to return to Guihua City; More than 100,000 Eight Banners and the new Korean army have bypassed Jinzhou and are heading for Beijing. When the Eight Banners passed through Jinzhou, Zu Dashou neither surrendered nor faced the battle, but closed his doors, so Huang Taiji and Tao Min did not attack Jinzhou.

Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing led the combined fleet to Lushun, but the combined fleet did not have an army, and the Ming army in Lushun launched an attack on Zilharang, but unfortunately was blocked by Zilharang. Zheng Zhilong still has no news back, but Shi Kefa has now arrived in Luoyang, and the current number of troops assembled in Luoyang has reached 300,000, and Xu Lang should also arrive in Luoyang in the near future.

At the same time, the news of the family was also transmitted, and Tao Shouqing, the director of the Qiongzhou office, personally went to Macao, hoping to mobilize the Portuguese to send troops to assist Yulin Bay. But the Portuguese refused the request, and their reasons seemed to be strong, not wanting to intervene in the struggle of the Orientals. Although this result was somewhat disappointing, it was a victory that the Portuguese did not come to the aid of the Manchus and Tao Min.

Leng Tianbing and Sun Tianhao have not yet heard from the Philippines, so the situation of the Spaniards is not known. Now it seems that Beijing is the most serious problem. There are less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing, although the city is high and the ditch is deep, and there are heavy city defense artillery, but Tao Min carried a lot of guns this time, can Beijing withstand it. Nearly a month has passed since the three months promised by Xu Lang, even if the war in Xi'an goes well, the distance from Xi'an to Beijing alone is more than 2,000 miles, can the Yulin army retreat to Beijing within two months, Jiang Beiming's heart is really bottomless.
