The day after Li Tianyang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, the 50,000 Hongtang soldiers of Shanhaiguan, with Wu Jie as the commander, took a step that had been stagnant for many years and officially entered the Guannei.

At the same time, in the city of Zunhua, another Hongtang army, a total of 40,000 horses, under the leadership of Shang Kexi, Xiang Shenggao and other Hongtang division commanders, attacked at the same time, and the soldiers pointed directly at the former capital of the Ming Dynasty.

All the way south, Wu Jie as the commander, his troops pointed to the place instead of the Beijing Division, but adjacent to the coastal Tianjin Wei, with the help of more than 20 warships of the Hongtang fleet that suddenly came out of the sea, the Tianjin Wei, which was originally impregnable, only lasted for three days, and then raised the white flag in the powerful artillery fire of the Hongtang army.

Although the Jingshi side is only a partial division of Hongtang, Shang Kexi is also invincible, Pinggu and Miyun are important barriers to defend the Jingshi, but they only lasted for seven days, and the city fortifications turned into ruins and finally fell.

At this time, the commander of the Ming Dynasty who was in charge of the Beijing Division was a Ming minister who rarely knew the soldiers and had the courage to see the Ming Dynasty.

When they heard that Hongmen finally exposed their sharp minions and started to bite Daming, the spirit of the plugging Yin Xi Shilang, who was tense and did not dare to relax from time to time, was relieved.

Although Hongmen has not had the slightest derailment after occupying Zunhua and Shanhaiguan, the imperial court has sent people to beg for it several times, and when he wants to recover these two important cities strangled on the neck of Jingshi, he has always been prevaricated by Li Tianyang, the king of the South China Sea, for various reasons.

Since then, the Ming court has known that this Hongmen is actually just an unfed wild wolf, and it may become a real beast at any time and eat the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Emperor Chongzhen has been reluctant to move the capital back to Beijing, and no one in the six major departments of the court has objected.

Also because of this reason, the court and the central government often recommend sages to guard the Jingshi, but none of the ministers took the initiative to stand up, they knew very well that the Jingshi at this time was a furnace, and it would ignite the fire at any time.

Of course, more of them were still self-aware and knew that they might have good political talents, but their military talents were definitely inferior to the Hongtang army that could defeat the powerful Qing Dynasty.

There is also the one who dares to take the initiative to take on this arduous task, that is, the Ming Dynasty's current accomplished supervisor Sun Chuanting, but he has a more important task, that is, to take advantage of the Hongmen people's uncertainty, and can still appease the gap to clean up the group of beam-jumping clowns in the Ming Dynasty first, so that they can free up their hands to deal with more powerful Hongmen opponents.

And the only one who took the initiative to stand up in the military department left squire Lang blocked Yinxi, but now the Ming Dynasty is a rare Confucian general who can take out his hand to know the soldiers, his ancestors were once a military family, and later the family road backward blocked Yinxi turned to concentrate on the text, and finally in Chongzhen ten years of high school jinshi, so he joined the officialdom.

However, the glory of the family once made Du Yinxi full of military books, and followed Sun Chuanting to suppress the peasant rebellion in the north and south, and his military talent was gradually revealed.

Even Sun Chuanting, who is the Great Ming Pillar State, agrees with the other party's ability, and no one else in the DPRK is willing or capable of taking this position, and in the end, although Chongzhen has scruples, he can only hand over this task to Gu Yinxi.

After taking office, Plug Yinxi also lived up to the emperor's grace, and the two major gates in and out of the customs were occupied by Hongtang and not returned, so Plug Yinxi mobilized the masses to build castle defense lines in Miyun, Pinggu and other places.

With the weak resources in his hands, he was stunned to build two good fortifications in two or three years, which was at least enough to ensure that the Jingshi would not be driven straight by the other party.

It's just that at this time, the Ming generals still despised the changes in the war brought about by the fireball, and they were still thinking about relying on the city as the main means of defense, and made a wrong plan from the beginning.

Miyun and Pinggu have a lot of resources for the Beijing Division, but they only bought the Beijing Division for only five days, which was beyond the expectations of the Chinese army commander Du Yinxi.

By the time he finally recovered from the changes, seized the five-day time he had gained, arranged his troops, established a defensive line, and returned to Nanjing, Hongtang's army was still gratifying, but it had already been killed under the city of Jingshi and surrounded the Jingshi Tuantuan.

There are still 100,000 troops in the city of Jingshi, but there are only 40,000 or 50,000 Hongtang troops outside the city.

"My lord, the last general is willing to go out of the city to fight!"

Under the command of Du Yinxi, Cao Bianjiao, who had been promoted to the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, took the initiative to stand up and bow down to ask for his life.

"Quasi, with your 30,000 army, test the reality of the other party, if you can't do anything, you can choose the opportunity to retreat!"

Du Yinxi was so ignored by the Hongtang army with a heavy army, and he was really resentful, but he was deep in his heart, knowing that the Hongtang army was extraordinary, and he must rely on this style, but if the Ming army did nothing, it would be a little weak, and it was not conducive to assessing the real strength of the Hongtang army, so when Cao Bianjiao, a fierce general, took the initiative to ask for help, Du Yinxi agreed to let him test it.

It's also a shame to say, until now, Hongmen and the Ming Dynasty really haven't fought a few times, except for the battle of Pinggu and Miyun that just happened, and the war that is happening in Tianjin Wei, not to mention, the reason why the Ming Dynasty still has a bit of extravagance, Li Tianyang, the king of the South China Sea, will be his princes with peace of mind one day, is because until now, Hongmen has not really taken a car back to the Ming Dynasty to overstep the rules.

Zunhua and Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of the Hongtang army, which was taken back from the hands of the Qing people, not to mention the land outside the customs.

As for Dayuan Island, Luzon Islands and other places in the South Seas, they have never been treated by the Ming Dynasty, and they are considered to be a wild land.

After careful study, until now Hongmen officially used swords and soldiers against the Ming Dynasty to launch an offensive, in the past few decades, Hongmen Li Tianyang was even more loyal and dutiful than the most loyal courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, making people unable to grasp the handle.

In addition, Hongmen itself is a dangerous place, so that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have basically not intersected with the Hongtang army, as for the combat effectiveness of the opposing army, it can only be known through a battle report, compared with the real feeling, there is still some difference.
