Li Zicheng did already know.

Xinzhou.

"King Chuang, Yang Qing suddenly went north, did he know our plan?"

Gao Yigong said suspiciously.

He didn't know about his brother-in-law's conspiracy, and he and the leaders of the Shun army really thought that Li Zicheng was leading them to seize the northern capital, and set up the king as the emperor in the northern capital, so as to command the world......

Of course, this is just talk.

They also knew that this was impossible, in fact, their real goal was to take advantage of Li Zicheng's still existence, the entire group to maintain unity, take the northern capital in one go, and avenge the revenge of the year.

This is important.

The old bandits have gnashed their teeth about the events of the past years.

After taking revenge, he recruited the Qing army that was caught in the middle, after all, most of the latter's relatives were in the northern capital, and it was only Dolgon who had an enmity with Li Zicheng. But those Eight Banners Han Army, North Korea, and even the Divine Army and Manchu and Mongolia, can be recruited to their side, the Eight Banners Manchurian relatives are all in the northern capital, and the Mongolian tribes have a good relationship with Li Zicheng, and they have been trading with each other continuously over the years. All the Eight Banners want is that they can not be destroyed, which is completely acceptable, it was only because of their betrayal back then, but the hatred has faded over the years.

It was only Dorgon and Dodor that could not be tolerated.

The others were caught in the middle, it was impossible to escape back to Liaodong, and it was even more impossible to surrender to Yang Qing, Li Zicheng only needed to kill the Dolgon brothers and those Eight Banner princes, and the remaining middle and lower classes could be completely absorbed.

The same is true of those Han people.

What the powerful people want is only privileges, which can be used to them, Li Zicheng's subordinates have little interest in liberating the people of Hebei, they just need these people to divide together. First, King Ding was the emperor to restore the Ming Dynasty and integrate the north, and then in exchange for giving up King Ding's recognition of the empress, in exchange for Yang Qing accepting their continued secession. Similarly, King Gui and Zhang Xianzhong would have liked this separation, and eventually the Ming Dynasty completed the unification of the situation, but the north of the Yellow River and Guanzhong and Sichuan continued to be divided.

Even the parties can sit down and sign a treaty together to achieve true peace.

The Mongols can also be vassals to the Ming Dynasty!

It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be interested in their cold and barren grasslands, even Fulin can also be a minister to the Ming Dynasty, his family was originally the commander of the Jianzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty, if the crime of Fulin and his father is unforgivable, then Shenyang will be replaced by Yang Qing satisfied.

It doesn't matter if all the wild boar skins are guilty!

His brother's line is still there!

Jierharang is still the regent, and he is still in charge of the government in Shenyang, he packed the Fulin Gate and sent it to Yang Qing and then declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty and applied for a new Jianzhou Wei commander. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not rush to kill them all, the princes and ministers of the Eight Banners in Shenyang will definitely be willing to exchange Fulin's body for peace after the actual destruction of the Guannai army......

They can't beat it anyway.

Recalcitrant resistance is also a dead end, and the remaining population of the Eight Banners in the north can basically survive when they return to the original Jianzhou Wei territory.

Of course, this is just the brains of Li Zicheng's subordinate generals, and they also know that this is a bit too naïve, but what can be done otherwise? Could it be that they hand over the territory and go home honestly to be obedient to the people in the future, this is obviously not in line with their style, they are all heroes who command one side, and it is undoubtedly difficult to accept that they will die of old age and sickness......

Let's fight for it!

Anyway, Yang Qing won't be killed!

But now......

"Afraid of what? Our 100,000 troops are out of Taihang, even if Yang Qing can do it? ”

Li Zicheng sneered.

"But if we seize the northern capital, but he leads troops to fight, will we really fight him?"

Yuan Zongdi said.

He still remembers those days!

The other generals of the Shun army also had a solemn face, obviously they also knew that there would be a lot of uncertainties in the face of Yang Qing, and it was okay to talk about this kind of thing with this guy, but if you really faced this, you have to think about it.

"Are you scared?"

Li Zicheng looked at them sharply.

"Father-in-law, how can the child be afraid of him, no matter how strong he Yang Qing is, he is just one person, I don't believe that our 100,000 elites are still afraid of this person!"

Zhang Nai said.

Obviously, the memory of being forcibly abducted by Yang Qing has faded!

However, he has indeed grown a lot over the years, he has been fighting together in the Western Regions as Li Laiheng's deputy general, and after Li Laiheng went to the Western Regions to replace Liu Zongmin, he is currently commanding the 30,000 musketeers at the core of the Shun army. The core of this cavalry itself was also Li Zicheng's children's army, and Zhang Nai's was promoted from the children's army.

The old bandits also expressed their fear.

After all, they are all fierce generals who dominate the world, and it is still too embarrassing to admit that they were scared by one person.

"Since you are not afraid, pass the order, and all the armies will immediately set off in the original order, and in ten days I will stand under the city of Beijing again! It's been seven years, and it's finally time to avenge the revenge of the brothers, and what Dolgon took away from us back then, we will take it back ourselves today! Let's go, go to the northern capital, take out our momentum back then, and let Yang Qing see that we are not too old to crawl! ”

Li Zicheng said.

The old bandits roared excitedly.

Most of these old guys, who are in their forties and fifties, even pulled out their knives and waved them, as if they had regained the feeling of dominating the world back then.

It's just that the mixed coughing sound is a bit annoying.

With Xinzhou's order issued, the elites of the Shun army hidden in the communes immediately rode war horses or camels and poured out of these dock forts, and then converged into a torrent of cavalry in the vast Xinzhou Basin, and began to head north to Lingqiu. And their vanguard was Zhang Nai's cavalry, which, like in the Western Regions, rode camels with spare war horses, carried at least a month's rations and ammunition, and even carried disassembled cavalry cannons and mortars, carrying boxes of shells, and then according to the plan, they would advance at a speed of no less than one hundred and fifty miles a day. They will turn into Puyin at Lingqiu, cross the Taihang Mountains out of the Bauhinia Pass, and then head north to Beijing in Yi County.

The north of Yi County is completely open.

All the forces that the Qing army could use were invested in the southern front battlefield, and even the troops of the watchman went to block Yang Qing, there was no army between Yixian and Beijing, and the only obstacle was the Yongding River, but at this time, the Yongding River was still in the dry period, and the cavalry could pass directly.

It can be said that it will be overwhelming.

It will not be more difficult than entering Beijing back then.

And the follow-up armies, either on horseback or camel, will follow along this road at a speed of not less than 100 miles a day.

Ten days later, Li Zicheng was about to march to Beijing.

He wants to retake the city that was lost from him, and although his time is numbered, as a man with no descendants, all he wants is revenge before he dies!

They didn't need to worry about Dorgon knowing.

They were well hidden before, and the commune system of the Shun army had a great advantage in counter-espionage, but after their army was dispatched, there would definitely be Qing spies who knew about it, but as long as the speed of the cavalry forward was fast enough, even faster than the speed of the spy to transmit information, the success of the raid could be ensured.

Speed is a guarantee of success.

The 30,000 elite cavalry who rode camels and carried enough supplies by themselves had done a continuous march of 150 miles a day in the Western Regions, not to mention 180 miles a day. The endurance of the camel is not comparable to that of a war horse, and the same weight-bearing capacity is not comparable to that of a war horse, that is, it is easy to walk more than 100 miles a day without eating or drinking in the soft desert, let alone on a solid road.

Ride a camel to maneuver, ride a war horse to charge during battle, and rest when all camels surround a camel city to defend.

This is how the Shun army rampaged in the Western Regions.

Now they are going to smash Beijing in the same way.

At this time, Dolgon also received the news that Yue Le's soldiers were defeated and died, and he also received the news that the Ming army completely controlled the Dagukou soldiers in the army grain city, but he had no other way to deal with it. At this time, he no longer had any troops in his hands that could be taken out except for the white flag Baya Lama, which could be said to be his personal guard. Even the infantry belonging to the Admiral of the Nine Gates has been handed over to Bolo to take to Tianjin, and now the Admiral of the Nine Gates is under a group of women who are maintaining order in the northern capital, and the first batch of old and weak people who have been put together have also begun to go south to reinforce Duoduo.

The latter is still attacking Zhengzhou.

But little progress was made, and the 150,000 Eight Banners and the Mongol coalition army, including even the tens of thousands of powerful Han troops, were battling their heads in front of the Ming fortress, and with the Yellow River thawing, the Ming army's counteroffensive was about to begin, and he had to go all out to open this line of defense before the Yellow River flood ended.

The Shun army has conquered Yingzhou.

But because of the lack of logistics supply, they had to stop advancing in Yingzhou, and in order to supply their logistics, they had to open Zhengzhou.

This point must be opened.

Only by opening Zhengzhou can the grain hoarded in Luoyang be continuously transported out, and then turn into the Zheng River in Zhengzhou and go down the Jialu River to Yingzhou to supply Li Zicheng's army. The Qing army, which was also seriously short of food, was now on the verge of running out of grain reserves in Daimyo and other places, and Li Zicheng's two million stone grain in Luoyang was their only hope.

Like he himself said.

This is the Great Qing National War, and we must go all out!

Yang Qing only opened the Dagu Pass, and had already stopped advancing at the Dagu Pass, waiting for follow-up reinforcements, and the Ming army could only invest in the Marine Army. The Ming army in Shandong is encircling Dongchang, the Ming army in the south is defending against Li Zicheng on the Huai River, Yang Qing cannot draw more troops, and the remaining mobile First Army of the Ground is still in distant Guangdong, and the Second Army of the Ground that he can use in the short term is the Second Army of the Marine.

It is impossible for an army to attack Beijing.

The city and the surrounding bannermen will drown 20,000 people.

What's more, there is also the Military Grain City, Tianjin, Tongzhou, and the magnificent city wall of Beijing, so there is no need to worry about him in a few months......

The southern route is crucial.

Poor Dolgon, thus waiting in Beijing with great ambition, awaiting news of his brother's victory, had no idea that a huge army was approaching at a rate of one hundred and fifty miles a day......
