The Ming Dynasty Yingtianfu, the center of the Ming Dynasty Hall that had just settled down, began to play its role as the heart of the dynasty again.

Sun Chuanting successively entered the south bank of the Yellow River on the side of Jinan Mansion in Shandong, and Ningxia and other places in Gansu were in the hands of the peasant rebels of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Dashun Dynasty Li Zicheng is also reckless start, but there is still a bit of backbone, Daqing Rui Prince Dolgon sent several waves of messengers to Zhao'an, promising all kinds of high-ranking officials, Li Zicheng categorically refused, the last two even came to Zhao'an and other envoys on the spot to kill, it can be regarded as a complete line with the Qing Dynasty.

Affected by this, the contradictions between the Ming Dynasty and the peasant army gradually began to dissipate, and the war friction between them was much less.

For the movements in the hinterland of the Qing Kingdom, the official intelligence of the Ming Dynasty was a little sluggish, affected by the southward relocation of the royal capital, and the speed and transmission channels of the spies of the northern Jinyiwei to collect intelligence and transmit information were all hit to varying degrees.

By the time the Ming Dynasty learned that the main force of the Qing Dynasty had stopped expanding and suddenly turned back to the north, its time had already come to winter, and the heavy snow covered the mountains, even if they wanted to make a move, it was difficult to do anything.

Moreover, even if the Ming Dynasty has some intentions, the army in its hands that threatens the north is only Sun Chuanting's infantry army with a scale of more than 100,000 people, where is the opponent of the army with the main force of the Qing Dynasty intact.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty cabinet learned that the information was scattered, and most of them had no details, only heard that the Shanhaiguan line they had just occupied suddenly fell into the hands of the Ming army, but the ministers of the court cabinet thought about breaking their heads, and they couldn't think of when they had such a powerful army in their hands.

The news from the people made the Ming court inexplicable, but it could not explain the reason for the change of the Jurchen barbarians in the north, but at best, this also allowed the Ming court to finally breathe a sigh of relief and have the time and energy to rectify it.

Dashun Dynasty Li Zicheng is also cautious and cautious, they have never fought with the Qing court before, now after the territory of the two sides border, in order to test the true strength of the Jurchens, the Dashun general Tian Jianxiu sent an army to cross the river to snipe the Jurchen general Aobai who stayed in the north, but did not think that the 10,000 Dashun army was defeated by the Qing Dynasty 5,000 soldiers, and after a fight, he was directly killed by Aobai and led by the Qing soldiers to kill a person on his back.

In this regard, the Dashun Dynasty also understood that the Jurchens were worthy of their reputation, and their troops also changed from a posture of imminent movement to passive defense, and at the same time strengthened the speed of the development and expansion of troops within the Dashun Dynasty.

In this regard, it was only a few tentative battles, and the Qing general Aobai stabilized the vast land north of the Yellow River, except for the frequent disturbance of the rebel army composed of sporadic local tyrants and others, the rest of the place was very calm.

Generally speaking, as long as the interests of the local gentry and landlords and the survival of the common people can be guaranteed, they will soon be able to suppress the hearts of the people.

Of course, this is also related to the cruel repressive methods of the Jurchens, one by one because of the fact that the villages and towns were slaughtered because of the resistance to the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the fact that the rebel armies were brutally suppressed, and the leaders and families were affected, and all kinds of Jurchen vices made the Han children in the north bow their heads and recognize the rule of the Qing people.

"Your Highness, you told us how to do after entering the customs, and now everyone is grateful that you have captured a huge wealth and population with you, but now you still want everyone to continue to attack the city and lose my Qing soldiers in vain."

In the Shanhai Pass, a group of Jurchen and Mongol generals sat together, hesitant and anxious, arguing fiercely with the heroic Prince Rui Dolgon.

"Isn't that what you're going to do?"

Dolgon's angular face was especially angry, but he was forcibly suppressing, he knew very well that the generals and nobles present were all powerful figures of the Qing Dynasty, and relying on the so-called thunder method alone would be of little use to them, but it might cause them to resent it.

"It took more than a month for my Qing Dynasty to attack Shanhaiguan and Zunhua now, and now it has taken more than a month on the Ningjin line, but this Ming army is like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, not to mention the heavy losses of my army, but it has not been able to open the door to go home so far."

"Rather than this, why don't we take a detour, now that Zunhua is in my hands, go out of the customs along the Xifeng Pass, even if it is blocked by the wind and snow, we can rush back to China in two months at most, it is better than being blocked outside Ningyuan and Jinzhou like now!!"

The Qing nobles and powerful generals below were unrelenting, and they had been frustrated before, which made everyone very dissatisfied with Dorgon's command, and they all expressed different opinions.

"What's the use of rushing back now?"

Dolgon's anger could barely be suppressed, and his entire face turned hideous.

"The Ming army suddenly killed another cavalry army, and defeated the Qing army led by Prince Daishan, and now it can be said that there are no soldiers available in the kingdom, and when the tribal mobilization order is issued, the tribes will reorganize an army out, and it will be a matter of a month or two."

"Even if we take a detour now, won't it take a month or two to get back to China? By then, the tribal mobilization and other soldiers have already gathered, is it still missing our tired army? ”

"It's better for us to take Jinzhou City in one go, open the way home, save at least a month's time, and come here to avenge the fallen soldiers of our clans!!"

The disagreement between Dorgon and the tribal generals and nobles was that the tribal generals had lost the perseverance and determination to continue the battle after repeated attacks on the defensive line defended by Hongtang; And Dolgon, the commander of the power, still wants to pierce the iron wall built by the Hongtang soldiers in front of him.

With the Great Wall defense line back in the hands of Dolgon, all the movements in the Qing Dynasty, through small-scale infiltration, the Qing scouts continued to deliver information to the hands of the main generals and Dutch nobles.

Shengjing City is still standing, which is a good news for everyone, at least the direct relatives of these Qing nobles and generals should be safe and sound. However, the two detached divisions of Hongtang who continued to plunder recklessly burned and plundered in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and so far there has been no stopping action, destroying an unknown number of tribes, and capturing an unknown number of cattle and horses, these are the private wealth of their nobles and generals, who can not feel anxious and worried!
