"Wu Ping sent a fleet? Who's coming? After receiving the report from his subordinates, Chen Yue was very happy.

"Back to the prince, General Wu Ping is still fighting with the Manchu army in Ningyuan City, and it is General Wu Ping's army supervisor Li Yanzhi who is here." Men reported.

As soon as the Juehua Island fleet arrived outside Shanhaiguan, Yang Xiaolei sent someone to send a letter to Chen Yue to report the news that the Juehua Island fleet had come to help.

It didn't take long for Yang Xiaolei's troops to successfully land on the beach and defeat the Qing soldiers who were out of the customs to block the attack. Then the flotilla returned to the sea, loaded with the second batch of troops.

Leaving the battleship behind to assist the infantry who had just landed to stabilize the defensive line to prevent the Qing army in Shanhaiguan from attacking again, Li Yanzhi took a small boat to the pass and met Chen Yue, the king of Qi.

Seeing Li Yanzhi, Chen Yue was very happy, Wu Ping and Li Yanzhi led 30,000 partial divisions to cross the sea for three months, and after successfully capturing Jinzhou Gaizhou in southern Liaoning, they then floated to the sea to capture Juehua Island and Ningyuan City, controlled the western Liaoning corridor in their hands, and cut off the connection between the Qing army inside and outside the Guan.

The occupation of Ningyuan, more than 100,000 family members of Guan Ning Army in the hands of the Ming army, forced Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army to betray Manchu and return to the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui's troops surrendered to Ming and launched an attack on the Eight Banners from the flank, which made the battle of Linqing much easier, and also provided conditions for the complete annihilation of Dolgon's 50,000 troops. Otherwise, with Wu Sangui's cavalry, even if the Ming army could defeat the Eight Banners Army, it would not be able to pursue and control the battle through cavalry.

Therefore, Wu Ping and Li Yanzhi have a lot of credit.

After the ceremony, Li Yanzhi told Ning Yuan's current situation.

After the Manchu court decided to retreat from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong, Bolo led the main Manchu force through Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan.

After the great defeat, the Manchu Qing Dynasty recruited all the adult bannermen, and after gathering all the troops, there were 40,000 troops. Bolo took 30,000 of them and approached Ning Yuan.

A large number of Qing troops came, and the momentum was violent. The so-called poor Kou Mo chased, in order to escape back to his hometown outside the Guanwai, the Qing army had fought desperately, Wu Ping led the army and the Qing army to fight a battle, and was beaten back by the Qing army's lifeless attack, and had to retreat to Ningyuan City after losing more than 1,000 soldiers.

The Qing army surrounded the three gates of Ningyuan, northeast and west, and then saw a large number of Manchu people retreating to the gate through the wilderness outside Ningyuan. Only then did Wu Ping and Li Yanzhi know that the Qing army was going to retreat in an all-round way.

Of course, the news of Linqing's great victory had already arrived, but Wu Ping and Li Yanzhi did not expect that with Ning Yuan in their hands, the Qing army would dare to choose to retreat from Liaoxi.

At this moment, Wu Ping only had 20,000 people in his hands, and there were still five or six thousand troops left in southern Liaoning, threatening Haizhou from the direction of Gaizhou, and confronting the Qing army outside the Guan.

Wu Ping's subordinates are all new troops recruited in Shandong for a short time, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Eight Banners at all, and it is impossible for his 20,000 men to defeat the 30,000 Qing troops outside Ningyuan City and cut off the retreat of the Manchu people.

Seeing a large number of Manchu people passing through outside the city of Ningyuan, just when Wu Ping was at a loss, Li Yanzhi, who was on Juehua Island, came up with a way and sent someone into the city to tell Wu Ping.

In addition to the two or three thousand Ming troops guarding the island, there were nearly 100,000 family members of the Guanning army on Juehua Island. According to the plan, after a complete victory, these family members will be released from Juehua Island back to Liaoxi. In May, seeing that the wheat they cultivated on the land was about to ripen, the family members of Guan Ningjun on Juehua Island were already anxious, shouting all day long to go back to the land to harvest the wheat. It was at this time that the Manchu retreat began from western Liao.

In order to intercept and kill the Manchu people who were passing by, Li Yanzhi decided to use these family members of the Guanning army.

After Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 40,000 or 50,000 Guanning army was reduced to 10,000, and a large number of soldiers were unarmored and turned into peasants. As for whether these people will betray? Don't worry at all, since Wu Sangui led the army to insert Dolgon's knife from behind, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army of 50,000 Eight Banners, Wu Sangui and his Guanning army are the number one enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Manchu court, Wu Sangui is even more hateful than Chen Yue. Therefore, Li Yanzhi is not worried about the repeated repetition of the Guanning army and the common people.

However, there are still some means of prevention, Li Yanzhi gathered all the men who had fought on Juehua Island, distributed a weapon to each person, and then organized three or four hundred people, led by a small flag of Ming troops, with Ming soldiers as officers, transported ashore by boat, these people would occupy the castles in the corridor, and use the castles as the foundation, and began to intercept and kill the passing Manchurians.

Li Yanzhi told them that the Manchurians had retreated from Beijing and carried a large amount of silver and two goods, and as long as they intercepted them, half of the seized property would be handed over, and the rest would be theirs. As long as they slash and kill a Manchurian, their families will be freed and will no longer be held accountable for the sins they have committed in the past.

Under the lure of money and freedom, these Guanning military households who were originally afraid of the Eight Banners were mobilized, in order to eliminate the fear in their hearts, Li Yanzhi publicized that the Qing soldiers were defeated one after another, and the elite soldiers had long been exhausted.

At the instigation of Li Yanzhi, batch after batch of military households were organized, sent to the shore by boat, and rushed to the battlefield with a roar.

However, there are also many men who are hesitant and afraid, after all, they have to face the Manchurian Eight Banner Soldiers, which is the existence that they once feared, although the tiger is still a behemoth without teeth, these people are still very afraid.

But fear was useless, Li Yan directly issued an order, due to the shortage of food, in the future, priority will be given to the families of military families who are willing to be called up to the battlefield. This means that if they do not respond to Li Yanzhi's call, they and their families will have to go hungry.

Under Li Yanzhi's combination of soft and hard, all adult men had to take up arms and go to the battlefield on a boat. Of course, their wives and children were left on Kyaw Hwa Island as hostages.

Since the Qing soldiers retreated, the main force of the Ming army would definitely pursue, but Shanhaiguan was not easy to fight, while operating this matter, Li Yanzhi also sent a sentinel ship to the customs to investigate the movement, and then saw that the Ming army had arrived outside Shanhaiguan, so he personally led several warships to Shanhaiguan.

"Lord Wang, his subordinates made their own decisions without asking for instructions, requisitioned the military households of the Guanning Army, and asked the prince to punish the crime!" Li Yan pleaded directly with Chen Yue.

After all, according to the Ming army system, Li Yanzhi did not have the right to recruit soldiers privately, not to mention that he still recruited the Guanning military household who was arrested and convicted.

Chen Yue smiled and shook his head: "Hurry up with power, what is the crime of Li Jianjun?" ”
