The two major butcher knives in the north and south were raised at the same time, and for a time it can be said that the heads of the gentry were rolling.

Of course, the consequences are also severe.

Li Zicheng no longer had any gentry who dared to surrender to him, and every city he went forward to had to be captured by battle, and even he divided his troops to deal with the armed attacks of the gentry in Shandong and other places in Zhili, especially the confluence of the latter with special kinds made his progress slower and slower.

But Dorgon still didn't join the fray.

The 80,000 Qing troops who entered the customs were always on the front line of Beijing and Tianjin.

Obviously, Dolgon is not stupid, he knows very well that the more than 200,000 Shun troops are beyond his ability to resist, so he simply uses these gentry to consume Li Zicheng's strength, and he is waiting for work in Beijing, and when Li Zicheng fights in Beijing, that strength is basically consumed, and then he will definitely have a lot of chances of winning the decisive battle, anyway, those gentry have no choice, if they want to follow the Qing Dynasty to continue to live the previous life, then they must take practical action.

Dorgon wasn't stupid enough to use them as gunmen.

It's a collaboration.

Since it is cooperation, it must be done together.

And he took the opportunity to continue to expand his army in Beijing, and continued to invite more allies from the north, in fact, at this time, the Eight Banners Army in Guannai had rapidly expanded to 110,000.

Tang Yu and other departments were all incorporated into the Eight Banners Han Army.

After all, there are Shang Kexi, these people showed up to say that they are still happy to accept this kind of co-optation, Tang Yu was even named king, and the three Shun kings were treated, and several other surrendered Shun generals were also given the title, and Shen Zhixiang, who was killed by Yang Qing, was given the same treatment, and then they stubbornly held Jidong and confronted the Guanning Shun army under the leadership of Duoduo.

Their opponents, Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi, continued to hold on to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and from time to time came out to scare and smash Beijing to contain the Qing army to the greatest extent.

In addition, Li Zicheng's navy has also gone north.

This naval army controlled Denglai like Huang Fei at the beginning, and kept in touch with the Guanning Shun army, providing them with certain material support, of course, the materials were all supported from Yang Qing, and Li Zicheng paid for it, and even they attacked the coast of Liaodong as Yang Qing had arranged in the past. But they also have their own opponents, Dolgon also has a Eight Banners Naval Division composed of the integrated Korean naval army as the backbone, although the strength is not inferior to the Shunjun naval division, but it still occasionally comes out to harass, and even attacks the naval base of Denglai.

Jiang Hao was crowned King of Pingxi, and Shanxi was counted as the territory of their Jiang family and Jin merchants, and his army, together with the other 20,000 Mongol troops who entered the pass, attacked Liu Zongmin, who retreated westward.

The latter is in a difficult position.

To the east of him is the regimental training army organized by the squires of Zhili who have been surrendered, a special kind of divine army, and Dolgon even promised to set up a separate Eight Banners Divine Army in the Eight Banners in the future. To the west of him were the merchant groups organized by the Jin merchants in Taiyuan and other places, because Li Zicheng had almost no garrisons in Shanxi, and the Jin merchants, who had been prepared long after Dolgon entered the customs, quickly seized power, and then formed a merchant group to control Taiyuan. Liu Zongmin was actually surrounded in the narrow valley from Lingqiu to Xinzhou, but these old bandits were very tenacious and still fighting.

This is the situation in the north.

Li Zicheng's brutal revenge killings caused the gentry to resist stubbornly and march slowly,

Dolgon, on the other hand, prepared to fight him in a decisive battle in Beijing.

Zhang Xianzhong in the west has already attacked Hanzhong, because of the drastic changes in the situation in the north, he was already ready to accept the post of governor of Sichuan, he repented again and continued to ask for the king of Shu he wanted, but he did not dare to attack to the south again, after all, now Yang Qing also has the ability to aid Sichuan because of Li Zicheng's withdrawal, and the two sides maintain a de facto truce in Sichuan.

As for him taking Hanzhong, it's casual.

That's not about Yang Qing's business, there is actually a cage for Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and these guys, Li Zicheng was afraid that they would stab themselves in battle when they returned to the battlefield of Zhili, so he simply ordered them to guard Hanzhong, Li Guo's 50,000 Shun army was in Xi'an and they were not allowed to retreat to the north without authorization. To the east is Jin Shenghuan's territory, the latter is afraid that they will come out to grab their own territory and block the Han River in Yunyang, and they can't eat to the west Longyou, but these guys are also helpless in Hanzhong, and it is estimated that the biggest possibility is to surrender Zhang Xianzhong. But the problem is that at least so far, Li Zicheng's strength has not suffered much loss, if he defeats Dolgon again, then it will be a tragedy if Tang Tong and the others surrender to Zhang Xianzhong.

So these people are struggling with depression.

Jin Shenghuan is still a warlord in the border area of Hubei and Henan, and Huang Degong temporarily stopped attacking to the north after recovering Chengtian, although he held Wuchang, but the loss was not small, at least he would not attack Xiangyang before the Shenwei invincible general cannon returned.

However, the little warlord Bai Yongfu did it very quickly.

He seized Yihai and other prefectures, and was in a state of no one careless, because Qingzhou and other places in the north had surrendered to the Holy Lord Mingjun, but Li Zicheng recaptured Linqing Dezhou and Denglai, and Shandong was completely in a chaotic situation of all forces.

Counting the King Gui who divided the two Guangzhous, and the three southwestern provinces that actually protected themselves, this is the current entire Ming Empire.

Disorderly.

Very messy.

The warlords are divided and divided, there are only four emperors, and there is a Qin King who does not have the title of emperor but is still the strongest in fact, and there is also a prison state in Jiangnan that also does not have the title of emperor but is the second most powerful, basically just like the late Beiyang period when the warlords were fighting, Dolgon counted Zhang Dashuai who entered the customs, Li Zicheng counted Feng Lübu, and King Gui counted those who were in the Gui department.

Zhang Xianzhong and Sichuan are in fact also separated from Ma Gan and Yang Zhan, who are self-protecting......

In fact, the Ming army in Sichuan was like a warlord.

It's just that they take care of themselves because no one cares about them, and they and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have actually formed an alliance of mutual protection, but they still obey the prison state of Nanjing, but they did not get involved in the war between the prison state and King Gui, but they just secretly hooked up with King Gui and publicly respected King Gui as the emperor and did not do anything. Anyway, if the prison country is punished, it will be casual, Yang Qing has the ability to send 100,000 troops to defend Sichuan, not to mention punishment, even if you cut them all, it is casual, since you can't afford to send troops to support, then let's just take care of ourselves.

This is true in the three southwestern provinces.

As for Yang Qing's calculations in this fragmented Daming......

Yang Qing calculated that he was actually a bald guy.

He is really similar to a bald guy in his current territory, but fortunately, he has no big henchmen, but he is also the same as a bald guy, with countless pig teammates and careerists within him.

"A bald guy is a bald guy!"

Yang Qing, who was sitting in his garden bare-chested, sighed: "It's not easy for Lao Tzu to support the Zhu family until now, this Tama has not had a day of peace, except for the pig teammates around who like to stab in the back, except for the one who has a ghost in his heart, he is ambitious, this Tama can be so rotten, this Ming can be regarded as the peak, Zhu Yuanzhang can be angry to death when he comes alive." ”

Yuan Yuan stared at him with beautiful eyes, probably not understanding his self-talk like a convulsion, especially calling the name of the Ming Taizu was even more frustrating.

"Yang Qing, I want to die with you!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of sorrow.

Then Li Xiangjun, who was holding scissors, rushed over.

Yuan Yuan hurriedly dodged to avoid being injured by mistake, and Yang Qing looked at Li Xiangjun helplessly.

Grief-stricken Li Xiangjun, after knowing that Hou Fangyu was beheaded, was no longer at odds with this dog thief who deceived his body, and in the excitement of Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen and those concubines next to him, he suddenly crashed into Yang Qing's arms and stabbed him in the chest with scissors. Yang Qing hugged her and moved his heart indifferently, letting her pierce the scissors on his shoulder, and the tip of the knife even pierced into the bone and stuck on it, and then he looked at her like a demon with the scissors.

Then he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her high.

Poor Li Xiangjun gradually began to suffocate in the tightening of his claws, his legs kept staring, his eyes rolled white, and the concubines trembled in fright, but they looked at it as if nothing happened.

Soon Li Xiangjun's head hung down.

Yang Qing immediately let go of his hand and punched her in the chest, Li Xiangjun immediately coughed and reopened her eyes, collapsed on the ground and trembled, her mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her, Li Xiangjun subconsciously screamed, and then suddenly arched into her mother's arms and continued to tremble, obviously the feeling of death left her with serious mental damage......

"Take it back to the room and shut it up, I want her to serve me tonight like she did last time!"

Yang Qing shouted.

Her mother quickly helped her up.

"Also, if you want to die, you are my slave when you are born, and you are my ghost when you die, do you know that Master Hou and I have reached Huangquan for nine days, if you dare to commit suicide, I will chase you over and you in front of the ghosts of Hou Fangyu, and then let those evil ghosts do Hou Fangyu!"

Yang Qing said viciously.

Li Xiangjun finally cried, and then was quickly helped away by her mother.

Yuan Yuan walked to Yang Qing's side and sat down again, glanced at him speechlessly, and then reached out to pull out the scissors, but the moment she held it, the scissors were squeezed out because of the rapid growth of the shoulder blade, and the remaining wound that was not as big as a small thumb nail instantly squeezed out a little blood to heal. Yuan Yuan took the scissors and looked at this scene curiously, she stabbed it again, and then pulled out the scissors in Yang Qing's exclamation, and watched with her eyes shine as the wound quickly squeezed out a little blood and disappeared.

"Do you want to fight?"

Yang Qing said viciously.

Yuanyuan smiled sewitchingly at him, then lowered his head and licked the bloodstain, then stuck out his tongue and demonstrated at him.

Yang Qing's hand reached out like lightning and pinched her tongue at once.

Yuanyuan exclaimed.

"I've got something good for you!"

She poked her head out and said in a strange voice with her tongue between them.

"What's good? Membrane? ”

Yang Qing let go of his finger and said.

"This is really not there, but do you want to see how your white-haired women's volleyball team performs?"

Yuan Yuan said with a grudge.

"Uh, you've finally rehearsed it?"

Yang Qing was stunned.
