The news of the victory of the copper tile chamber quickly made the city of Nanjing jubilant......

It's been almost thirty years!

From the beginning of the initial Battle of Fushun, in these nearly 30 years, the Ming army finally achieved the first real victory against the Qing army, although the battlefield was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but after nearly 30 years of fighting, the Ming army finally ushered in a crucial turning point......

And again, it was a complete victory.

Although it is common for the front line to lie about the battle results, the capture of 8,000 enemies means that there is no moisture this time.

Surely the captives cannot be faked.

Because there was no forced shaving of hair and easy clothing, in addition to the army and the divine army that were incorporated into the Eight Banners, only a very small number of shameless traitors in the north took the initiative to shave their hair and change clothes to express their support for the Qing Dynasty. And this time, except for the 2,000 Mongol prisoners, all the rest were the real Eight Banners Army, even if the vast majority were still the Han Army, the Korean and Divine Army, but there were still more than 1,000 of them that were the real Eight Banners Manchuria.

There is no moisture in this victory.

In fact, it is true that there is really no, Yang Qing has always disliked his subordinates to deceive on this point, and there is no need for Gao Dejie and Fang Guoan on the front line to deceive.

This result is brilliant enough, why risk being punished again?

The Ming army suffered less than 2,000 casualties.

This figure is not falsified, in fact, 600 dead and 1,003 wounded, including 400 seriously wounded and disabled, will definitely withdraw from the army, and the mounted cavalry is inevitable at this point. Of course, Gao Yigong suffered more than 10,000 casualties, so there is no need to care about this, it is not a Ming army casualty, the Ming army only reported the casualties of the cavalry army and the two infantry brigades of the Fang Guoan Department that were later reinforced.

The latter, after Yuan Zongdi had broken through Qinyang and had in fact destroyed the flank of the Qing army from the western front, immediately took a boat down the Yellow River to reinforce Tongwaxiang.

Their arrival ended the battle.

Duoduo, who knew that his back did not block Yuan Zongdi's backstabbing, had to retreat on all fronts, and then the Ming-Shun coalition army pursued and killed the Qing army, but Duoduo finally withdrew to Kaizhou to the north with the cooperation of those local gentry, and the Qing army on the western front withdrew to Weihui, in fact, in Weihui, Kaizhou, Puzhou until Dongchang and then turned to Jinan to form a defensive line, in order to prepare to resist the attack of the Ming army. Of course, the Ming army did not continue to advance, and the Shun army also stopped at Qinyang, so Duoduo temporarily stabilized the southern defense line after retreating from the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Qing army was unable to move south again, and the Ming army and the Shun army obtained a stable Yellow River channel, and Gao Yigong arrived in Luoyang in the cold wind of late autumn with a fleet full of nearly a million stone grain.

As for the next, neither Yang Qing nor Li Zicheng was interested in continuing to attack north.

The canal is about to freeze.

The rest of the Yinghe vortex and the Yellow River will also be covered by ice, and even the Huaihe River will be covered by solid ice that can pass horses at the peak of this Xiaoice period.

Yang Qing, who had no logistics, could not continue the offensive.

In fact, he was rushing the last supplies to the north to ensure that the armies of the front line were used for defense during this long winter, and in order to ensure that a certain transport capacity could be provided in the winter, he was building four-wheeled carriages in large quantities. At the same time, he is also repairing the road from Nanjing to Fengyang and then from Fengyang to Zhengzhou, and is also repairing the port of Haizhou and the road from Haizhou to Xuzhou and Yizhou.

In fact, the victory in this battle was the result of the joint operations of Ming and Shun, and it would be good if the Ming army could hold the Yellow River by itself.

More than 30,000 Ming troops actually participated in the battle.

But the Shun army invested a full 100,000, not counting the attack on Zelu, Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang made Zelu's 40,000 Qing troops not only unable to go south to participate in the war, but also forced Dolgon to turn the 20,000 Qing troops that were originally going south to them, otherwise Liu Fangliang would hit the back of Lu'an's battle line to attack Duoduo.

The main force that really won this decisive battle was the Shun army.

The Ming army was only a supporting role at best, but the external propaganda must not be able to publicize this, so it became that the Ming army of 20,000 broke the Qing army of 80,000, and only lost less than 2,000.

But in reality?

It was the Shun army of 50,000 plus the Ming army of 20,000, at the cost of nearly 15,000 dead and wounded, that finally achieved this victory, if the entire battle of the Yellow River is combined is the Shun army of 100,000 plus the Ming army of 30,000, at the cost of more than 30,000 dead and wounded, defeated the 130,000 Qing army and beheaded 40,000 prisoners. Although the losses of the Qing army were more, it was only because there were too many miscellaneous cards, especially those Eight Banners Divine Army that were hastily armed, their real combat effectiveness was actually not as good as the previous Ming army's miscellaneous cards!

That's the real result.

But if there is no Shun army, it is impossible to win the 30,000 Ming army no matter what, at most it is to hold Zhengzhou.

But Li Zicheng is certainly not interested in continuing to attack.

The purpose of his cooperation with Yang Qing was only to transport this batch of grain from the Yellow River.

It's his life-saving food.

Now that the food is in hand, he's still a fart!

One million stone of grain plus his previous reserves in Guanzhong, as well as the income from his cleaning of the Jin merchants, and the grain stocks of the people in the middle of the country, are basically enough for his army and people to survive this winter, after all, Guanzhong and Shanxi are more or less self-produced, and the large amount of gold and silver in his hand can also allow him to exchange some livestock from the surrounding Mongolian tribes. In short, as long as he doesn't fight this winter, it is still enough to maintain it, and after the spring when shipping resumes, he can continue to purchase grain from Yang Qing, and then hold on until next year's sweet potato harvest season. After all, there was not much population at this time under his rule, even if the two provinces had not entered the devastating drought in the second year of Chongzhen, the total population was no more than 20 million, not to mention that after nearly 20 years of famine and war, it is estimated that half of them will reach the sky.

And his territory does not fully encompass these two provinces.

It's only partial.

Yang Qing's estimate is that the population of his territory should be six or seven million, but the number of troops is large, so Li Zicheng's army is also being reorganized, and the poor combat effectiveness is changed to the government soldiers Tuntian according to the method of all the people being soldiers. He really likes the name of the Tang Dynasty, which is actually the militia played by Yang Qing, but Yang Qing is partial, and he is comprehensive, and all the militias under his rule.

Then the regular army was reduced to less than two hundred thousand.

Next, Li Zicheng didn't have much pressure.

All he needed was to defend the passes of Taihang Mountain and Qinling, and even the war against Xiangnan and Zhang Xianzhong was suspended......

After all, Zhang Xianzhong threw himself into Yang Qing's arms.

And he still needs Yang Qing to continue to provide food in the short term, since this is to give face, as for the northern Dolgon, he must not be able to go west, and Yang Qing is not interested in caring about him, speaking of which, although Li Zicheng withdrew from the Central Plains to compete for hegemony, he immediately put himself in a transcendent realm, and he can manage his own small fortune with peace of mind.

As for Dolgon......

He's immigrating.

Before the arrival of winter, he moved the population of his hometown in the north to Guannai as much as possible, and then carved up the land around Beijing that had been cleaned by Li Zicheng, although these lands were cold, but no matter how cold they were, they were stronger than Liaodong! These lands that can be completely abandoned in Yang Qing's opinion are already good places for our hardcore crops in the Qing Dynasty, even if the average annual temperature in modern times is five degrees worse! This era is the difference between being able to survive normally and not surviving normally! What's more, not only Beijing, but also hardcore crops can continue to live south......

In fact, Dolgon also played Yang Qing's set.

It's just that Yang Qing shoehorned the Huangzhuang militia into the gentry's world, while Dolgon shoehorned the hardcore crops into the gentry's world.

They all fragmented the territory of the gentry.

Using the armed immigrants he can control to closely monitor the gentry and realize his own control of the county level and below, in the final analysis, Dolgon also wants to compete with the gentry for power and profit, and he will not really be an honest thug who is used by the gentry, he and the northern gentry also have to compete for power and profit. Because the Qing army that entered the customs this time was weakened compared with the original history, on the contrary, the addition of those surrendered troops made the gentry relatively stronger, so the northern gentry were very confident in front of Dolgon, and they were collaborators rather than dependents of the Qing army.

Both sides are equal.

They will definitely find a way to get Dorgon to grow up according to their own hearts, the Holy Lord Mingjun they expect.

Their infighting is indispensable.

So far, the pattern of killing the three kingdoms of the Ming and Qing dynasties has been re-established.

The Ming Dynasty controlled the Yellow River south of the mountainous line from Tongwaxiang to Shandong, and Li Zicheng was bounded by the Taihang Mountains of the Qinling Mountains, but the latter retained the salient parts of Luoyang and Qinyang. The Qing army retreated to guard the line of Hui, Kaizhou, Puzhou, Dongchang, and Jinan, and Li Zicheng took Taihang Mountain as the boundary, but controlled the Zelu area as a salient to the west, and recaptured or received the Xuanda line in the north, and confronted the Shun army across the Yanmen Pass, but the latter controlled northern Shaanxi, Li Zicheng's hometown, to the west.

In addition, the Qing army also fought a war with the Ming army on the Korean Peninsula.

Zheng Chenggong has already arrived in North Korea.

The news of the great victory in Tongwaxiang was sent to North Korea as soon as possible, and the original Li Zicheng's naval division also belonged to Yang Qing, and this naval division continued to control Dengzhou and Laizhou with the support of Yang Qing, and belonged to the command of Zheng Chenggong's reinforcement army.

Then came the counteroffensive of the Joseon king.

However, Yang Qing is not ready to continue to send troops.

After all, he has enough reasons now, and he is now fighting on two fronts, not only to maintain a military confrontation with Dolgon in the north, but also to fight against the rebellious Gui rebel in the south, how can he have extra troops for North Korea, and besides, isn't there another Li Zicheng's sailor? After all, Zheng Chenggong's reinforcement army now exceeds 20,000 people, which is enough to help the Joseon king recapture Seoul, and Dolgon has emigrated from Liaodong to Guannai, and has long been no longer interested in Korea. The real enemies of the king of Joseon were actually the rebels of the Eight Banners, and to put it bluntly, the next was a war between the shaved and subdued forces in northern Korea supported by Dolgon and the Huaxia Yiguan forces supported by the Ming Dynasty in the south.

This is a war within the Koreans.

Come on, Li Liangjun!

The Marquis of Loyalty will applaud you.

Anyway, the more North Koreans die, the better.
