Huang Taiji began to have everything unsuccessful since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, first the attack on Ningjin failed, and then the Beishan Jurchens and savage Jurchens in the north could not be attacked for a long time, and later lost troops under the city of Kulun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it was said that when the army was defeated, he picked up some face from Lin Dan Khan, but since returning to Houjin, the successive defeats have made Huang Taiji wake up to the current situation, whether it is the timing or the strength of Houjin, he can't replace Daming at all, and he found that this is simply a whimsical thing, and it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. If you continue to work hard, Houjin will have the risk of being quickly dragged down by Daming.

From then on, he resisted the pressure of all sides, and devoted his main energy to conquering the weak forces in the surrounding areas, especially the Mongol tribes, and integrating the internal forces. He first used force to force the weak Joseon royal family to make an alliance with him, and then used the strategy of intermarriage to encircle the Korqin tribe, who had long been dissatisfied with Lin Dan Khan.

Things are moving forward in an orderly manner according to Huang Taiji's plan, if there is another ten or eight years, and the Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters are becoming more and more chaotic, as long as Houjin seizes the opportunity, he may really be able to win the Central Plains.

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, who was the secretary of the Ming Dynasty Military Department and the right deputy governor of Yushi, supervised Ji, Liao, and supervised Deng, Lai, and TJ military affairs, crossed the sea and landed on Lushun Shuangdao in southern Liaoning in the name of reviewing the army.

When Yuan Chonghuan reported this news to the capital, because of the suddenness of the incident, the unprepared monarchs and ministers of the court were all shocked.

Although Chongzhen promised him to "act cheaply" back then, this incident still deeply hurt his self-esteem as the king of a country, because this incident made him feel that Yuan Chonghuan, who thought he was the first in the edge, did not take him as an emperor in his eyes at all. Although Chongzhen held back from the overall situation and made the mildest reaction, approving Mao Wenlong on Yuan Chonghuan's recital, he still had doubts about Yuan Chonghuan in his heart.

The civil and military officials in the court also felt that he had gone too far by advocating the killing of the tyrannical commander without asking for instructions. Because this is something that has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers who already know Chongzhen as a person can't help but sweat for Yuan Chonghuan, and they all faintly feel that things will not pass like this.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong was a great joy for Houjin.

Although Mao Wenlong was arrogant and domineering, and did not listen to the orders of the imperial court from time to time, he also caused a lot of trouble to the Houjin on the Liaodong Peninsula in the past few years, and contained the Houjin's attack on the Ming Dynasty from the side. Let Houjin be like a fish in the throat, but without the navy, they can't help the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town.

As soon as Mao Wenlong died, the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town were leaderless, although Yuan Chonghuan's official authority was subjugated to him at that time. But as soon as he left, the general Liu Xingzhi launched a rebellion on Phi Dao and killed Chen Jisheng and more than a dozen other generals and soldiers loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the general soldier Huang Long acted decisively, and immediately led his troops to Phi Island to suppress and curb the deteriorating trend, but since then, Dongjiang Town has become a mess, and various internal conflicts have continued, and there is no time to take care of Houjin. Later, after the Wuqiao Mutiny in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, the "SD Three Mine Disciples", led their troops to blatantly act for the tiger and took refuge in Houjin.

It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty itself in disguise to get rid of the big trouble in the heart of Houjin, and Huang Taiji, who has been waiting for the opportunity, no longer has to worry about his big rear. He felt that although he couldn't replace it now, he could continue to harass the Ming Dynasty and plunder the population and property of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, preferably in the rich Guannei. He also proposed that the route of the Houjin invasion of the Ming Dynasty should not only be limited to the Shanhaiguan line, which the Ming army focused on defending, but should stretch the battle line to the line of the Great Wall, as long as it can penetrate into the interior of the Ming Dynasty, any pass of the Great Wall can be used as a breakthrough, especially the Great Wall pass in Jizhen and other places where the Ming army neglected to defend.

Since the day when the news of the Houjin troop build-up was obtained, Guan Shanyue, who suffered from a phobia of severe lack of firepower, let the arsenal in Duoyan City run at full capacity to produce various types of artillery. However, he waited until September calmly, focusing his attention on the Eastern Front, and did not wait for the news of Houjin's attack on Daning.

The officers and soldiers of the Daning Capital Division, who were originally holding back their anger and wanting to fight a big battle, were disappointed, but the Ming officers and soldiers in the Sene did not think so, they were in deep panic in the war.

In October, Huang Taiji, who was familiar with "Three Kingdoms", played with Guan Shanyue of Daning and Yuan Chonghuan of Liaodong. He used more than a month to jump over the first line of Shanhaiguan under the cover of night, personally led an army of 100,000 to the north of Zunhua without knowing it, and launched a fierce attack on the passes of the Great Wall north of Zunhua. Moreover, it quickly broke through at Da'ankou, Hongshankou, Longjingguan and other places, and used the advantage of troops to surround Zunhua layer by layer.

Along the Great Wall, there was a sudden wolf smoke, and Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan who rushed to the aid of the police, did not have a hurry to meet with Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen in the city, to deal with the matter of entering the city to deploy defenses, and was violently ambushed by the Huang Taiji army outside Zunhua City. As a last resort, Zhao led the sect to fight to the death with the Jin army under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and was killed by an arrow after exhaustion. In the case that the dragons were leaderless and outnumbered, Zhao led the sect to fight separately, fighting to the last person, no one surrendered, and all sacrificed their lives for the country.

On the first day of November, the capital received the alarm of Houjin's entry into the customs and informed that martial law was being imposed in various localities, and the military department quickly recruited soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to the rescue

On the fourth day of November, Zunhua fell, and Wang Yuanya, the governor of Shuntian, and Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen, committed suicide.

On the same day, Yuan Chonghuan's troops, who received the order to rush to help, set off from Shanhaiguan and rushed to the capital. The frightened Yuan Inspector didn't expect his intelligence network to be so unbright, until Houjin captured Zunhua City, he didn't get the news, he was shocked and just wanted to take action, but before he had time to make up for it, in the blink of an eye, the requisition document of the Ministry of War came to his eyes again, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had to go to the capital to rescue.

This is the first time that the Houjin army has appeared in the area within the Shanhai Pass, and it is rapidly approaching the land of the Ming Dynasty with the momentum of destroying the ancient and decaying. For a moment, the people were panicked, and the capital of the first good place turned into a chaotic world, and the people in the city rushed to flee. These are nothing, the key is that when he really faced this danger, Chongzhen, the lord of the Ming Dynasty, also panicked, and he was self-righteous and self-imposing, and he no longer had the prestige of the past, and he became helpless. It wasn't until Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Mangui, the chief soldier of Datong, arrived in Beijing that Chongzhen was reassured.

At this time, the post station transmission system of the Ming Dynasty was already in tatters, and it was not until the sixth day of November that the news of the fall of Zunhua was reported to Chongzhen. At this time, two days had passed since the fall of Zunhua, and Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses had almost no decent resistance along the way, and they were easily killed near Jizhou.

The entire government and the opposition suddenly became panicked, and at this time, the busy family forgot about the Daning Dusi. And Guan Shanyue, who was blocked from the news, was still like a person who had nothing to do, except for training recruits, they were sleeping soundly.
