On the Liaodong front, Setel also marched all the way, relying on the advantage of firearms to win the Tieling Wei and then approaching Shenyang City, recovering all the lost territory occupied by the Haixi Jurchens, and burning the flames of war directly to the nest of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Emperor Chongzhen finally found an opportunity to raise his eyebrows, regardless of the dissuasion of his ministers to drive the royal car to conquer Shanhaiguan. Under the command of Li Dingguo and the cooperation of Duoyan Sanwei, the soldiers on the front line of Shanhaiguan had an unprecedentedly high fighting spirit, and they jumped over Jinzhou City and regained a large area of lost territory in Liaohetao in one fell swoop.

Large numbers of new troops, who had learned to shoot after months of training, continued to rush to the front line while consolidating the gains of victory.

The reason why the Ming army achieved such brilliant results on the Liaodong front was not because the opponent was too weak, but because it was too strong.

The new army of the Ming Dynasty used a hot weapon, and most of the army of Houjin used cold weapons, whether it was the training time or the number of soldiers, the Ming Dynasty had the advantage.

After Lu Xiangsheng cut off the heads of thousands of unscrupulous businessmen in Shanxi in one go, the businessmen in Shanxi spontaneously paid back taxes in accordance with the new tax law.

After removing the income from the seizure of the family, millions of taels of silver were directly supplemented to the treasury just by paying back taxes, which also provided an economic basis for the rioters in the four northern provinces.

Looking at the murderous Ming army outside the city, gathering more and more Ming troops, Huang Taiji was completely chaotic, and there was no longer the calm of the past, and he was worried that he had white hair overnight.

Even Fan Wencheng, who is usually resourceful and self-proclaimed Zhuge reincarnated, has completely become a stuffy gourd, and he can't come up with a decent idea.

Under the external high pressure, Houjin, which was not monolithic, was completely split into two factions. One faction is the main battle faction led by Dolgon, and the other faction is the surrender faction led by Mang Gurtai.

Huang Taiji is now in a dilemma, and he is in a hurry, pulling his hair. I can't beat it, and the foreign reinforcements that I secretly contacted will not arrive for half a month at the earliest, although King Fu sent the New Year's silver, but the partners who gather behind his ass like flies every day and wait for shit to eat are all gone. Without them, the porters of nature, he would not have been able to buy military supplies even if he had mountains of gold and silver.

Surrender, others can say that as long as Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is not a fool, he will definitely cut him, the chief war criminal, with a thousand cuts.

He felt that the Ming army outside the city was besieging but not attacking, on the surface, it seemed that it was continuing to wait for the assembly of the large army, but in fact, it was waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to come and humiliate him.

All the Houjin men from the age of fourteen to the age of 14 were reorganized and enlisted in the army, smashed pots and sold iron, and gathered 400,000 Eight Banner troops (Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, surrendered Han people, Mongols, etc.) along the Shenyang line, and the 30-year-old Goryeo stick Shunyi army was arranged on both wings of Shenyang City, putting on a decisive battle posture.

On the one hand, Huang Taiji looked forward to the later attack of the Ming army, and on the other hand, he hoped that foreign reinforcements would arrive in Daming as soon as possible to launch an attack, so as to relieve the huge pressure on the front line in eastern Liaodong.

The battle report was sent like snowflakes into the palace of Huang Taiji in Shenyang, if it was called a palace.

Huang Taiji didn't even look at the battle reports and fell to the side, he thought about it and knew that it was either the news of defeat, or a rigid document urging soldiers and food.

Houjin, which seems to be in full swing, has reached the point of exhaustion in the blink of an eye under the attack of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji rubbed his temples with his hands, looked at the Baylors sitting in the room with a bitter face, sighed, and said: "Hey, a big country is a big country, and a small country can't be compared after all." Let's brainstorm where we should go from here, and come up with an idea! ”

Dolgon, who was a staunch main battle faction, stood up from his chair and said in a loud voice: "The Great Khan should not grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, and he will fight with the Ming army to the end." Within a few days, as soon as foreign reinforcements arrived and landed from the East China Sea to storm the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the situation on the front line in Liaodong was self-defeating.

However, before that, the Great Khan was asked to move to Dongfan Island (Taiwan Island). As allies, the Dutch were obliged to protect the Khan. ”

In Guan Shanyue's conditions to protect the glory and wealth of the third emperor, this once staunch nationalist was directly defeated by sugar-coated cannonballs, and finally became the leading party of the Ming Dynasty in Houjin.

In this scene, for the sake of future glory and wealth, Mang Gurtai must express a firm opposition.

"Well, the Great Khan has thousands of soldiers, but not all of them are as good as you. The new troops of the Ming army were all trained by peasants, and it took less than two or three months of training to go to the battlefield. When soldiers eat food, they can meet this, no matter what they eat, they are full.

And what about us? In the past, I basically relied on robbing the Ming Dynasty to make a living, but now people don't let us rob the wilderness, and they have built a fence wall. Those Shanxi merchants have not heard from them, and they eat less food every day. King Fu brought some grain, but he still sat and ate the mountain empty, eating one grain less than one grain, and eating one pound less catty. Dare to ask you, what are we going to do to fight with others?

Also, I think it's very inappropriate for you to let the Great Khan move to Dongfan Island. As soon as the Great Khan leaves, the morale of the army will be chaotic, and the soldiers below will definitely not have the heart to fight, so it is better to surrender directly and save face. ”

The two of them were arguing in front of Huang Taiji's face, you came and went, so it was not lively. Behind them, their respective supporters also expressed their opinions on their own, and the whole house turned into a chaotic vegetable market.

A sense of powerlessness rose in Huang Taiji's heart, even a month ago, Mang Gurtai did not dare to be so arrogant, and blatantly discussed the surrender of Da Ming in front of him.

But as the army under his control broke the front line of the Mudanjiang River and the Liaohetao area overnight, Mang Gurtai not only discussed it in front of him, but also many people supported him, and there was a great tendency to put him in the air.

Bad news came one after another, Belle Yuetuo, who had been pronounced dead in Houjin for many years, suddenly appeared on the front line in Liaodong, swore allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, and issued a letter of persuasion to the entire Houjin in the "Daming Daily", calling on the soldiers and people of the Houjin not to resist stubbornly and make mistakes again and again.

Yue Tuo's sudden commotion directly flashed Huang Taiji's waist. This announcement is like a bolt from the blue for the already embattled Huang Taiji, he now has to guard against the sudden rebellion of Heshuo Belle Daishan, the ghost knows if he has long known that his son was not killed on the battlefield, but has long had an affair with Daming, and deliberately left him in Daming as a backhand.

The ratio of the strength of the Later Jin and Ming armies along the Liaodong line was 700,000 against 400,000, and Huang Taiji had no certainty of victory in his heart.

Later Jin seemed to have the advantage of troops along the Shenyang line, but in fact, it was Jin Yuqi's defeat on the surface. This group of people who were recruited casually, the Mongols and Jurchens were better, and the vast majority of the Han people were simply farmers who farmed the land, so let the untrained ones pick up cold weapons to charge with the hot weapons of the Ming army on the opposite side, and think about it with their heels to know what the consequences are, it is better to keep them as cannon fodder at critical moments.

As for the remaining 300,000 Goryeo sticks, they are completely bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and it's okay to fight a good fight, if they really fight a vicious war, this group of sluts will probably fight back without hesitation.

Huang Taiji is now distressed, he originally wanted to take advantage of Daming's illness to ask for Daming's life, who knew that Guan Shanyue, who scraped bones and cured poison halfway, was stunned to let Daming's dead wood spring.

The Ming Dynasty's offensive mode in Liaodong was precisely divided, with elite troops attacking the city, and the new army being responsible for the occupation and defense of the city, so it took half a month to assemble a large army along the Shenyang line.

This half a month is the time that Daming used to disintegrate Houjin. Emperor Chongzhen told the people of Houjin that all those who surrendered in the past half a month would not be blamed for the past as long as they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and obeyed the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty. If this half a month passes, I'm sorry, Daming will not accept surrender.

The General Staff also sent the Haixi Jurchens who returned to Shun to dress in gorgeous costumes and lead the girls and children to appear on the front line to tell about the happy life after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Cai, who was compiling the Siku Quanshu, was also busy and personally grabbed a knife and published a half-month-long serial article in the "Daming Daily" -- "My Happy Days in Daming", reflecting the happy life of this wave of Haixi Jurchens after returning to the Ming Dynasty with first-hand information. In short, Daming not only gave them a happy life, but also gave them room for development.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Shenyang City has the army of Houjin to guard Huang Taiji and can still hold the field, and the Han people in other cities with insufficient troops can't manage so much, many of them were looted by Houjin, how could they let go of this good opportunity to return to the motherland.

Those who returned to Houjin in order to eat enough were reduced to the point of starving their chests and backs, and the children of the Eight Banners did not treat them as human beings on weekdays, and they were the main force of defection.

Many people think that they will never come back anyway, there is revenge and revenge, and the rear of Houjin is turned upside down and there is a big chaos.

However, at this moment when Huang Taiji was at a loss for what to do, the big traitor Wu Sangui quickly extended a helping hand and successfully pulled all the hatred on Jinzhou City.

Wu Sangui probably didn't expect the form to change so quickly, or he couldn't swallow the anger of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City being occupied, so he took advantage of the truce to secretly send someone to pluck Li Dingguo's ancestral grave.

After all, paper can't keep the fire, and Li Dingguo finally learned the news from the mouth of someone from his hometown.

As the saying goes, father's hatred, wife's hatred, hatred is greater than digging ancestral graves. This time Wu Sangui stabbed the hornet's nest, and after the angry Li Dingguo received the full support of Emperor Chongzhen, he dispatched troops to attack Jinzhou City.

No matter how hard Wu Sangui is, he can't win the bullet, and he looks at the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops outside the city, and he immediately coaxed. He repeatedly asked his troops to surrender, but all of them were sternly rejected by Emperor Chongzhen on the grounds that he was a capricious villain. For now, he can only fight to the death.
