Li Zicheng was originally in Ningyuan to rectify the army, but listening to Hong Chengchou's words made him change some ideas.

Such a good opportunity, if you only think about holding Ning Yuan, it is too conservative!

He immediately summoned Liu Yunshui and the Han army banner Gushan Ezhen, and ordered their cavalry to quickly move north, Liu Yunshui's first battalion went out to the west of Wulu Mountain, the target was mainly Yizhou, and the battle line was advanced to the border wall to the north; The cavalry of the Han army banner went out to the east of Wulu Mountain, advanced to the side wall in the north, converged at the first battalion, and advanced to the Liao River in the east.

The infantry of the third battalion will then also go north, advance to Jinzhou first, and receive two cavalry, the Liao soldiers of Wu Sangui's department, leaving the deputy general Yang Kun and 5,000 soldiers to garrison Ningyuan, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers, as the rear army, set off one day later.

Li Zicheng took his own soldiers and went north with the third battalion.

Walking to Jinzhou, looking at the broken city wall, I can't help but sigh that it is not appropriate, the Songjin battle of the year before last seems to be happening in front of me.

Hong Chengchou was even more silent.

He really didn't expect that Huaxia would recover Jinzhou so quickly, if it wasn't for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, this is something that is absolutely unimaginable, the Ming Dynasty lost thousands of miles in Liaodong, when did it recover its homeland?

Fortunately, this time I took the Han army flag to fight against the water on the front line!

Wu Sangui's troops were temporarily stationed in Jinzhou, and after the soldiers set up their tents, they immediately began to repair the city wall, not expecting to increase the height and thickness of the city wall, but only to repair the broken places to ensure the integrity of the city wall.

Hong Chengchou also stayed in Jinzhou, the new Liaoning Province, temporarily with Jinzhou as the capital, as the new governor, naturally with the Jinzhou front line as the main activity area, and now Jinzhou needs him the most.

Zuo Maotai, the former Ming official who has been with the army, also stayed in Jinzhou and served as the prefect of Jinzhou Prefecture.

It may be that the Songjin War of the year before last was too tragic, and there were not many Han people around Jinzhou, but when I heard that Huaxia replaced the Ming Dynasty and the army would be stationed in Jinzhou, the people were overjoyed, and it could be seen that the people of Liaodi were still facing China in their hearts.

In the Huaxia Kingdom, they were ordinary people, but in the Manchu State of the Tartars, they belonged to the coat of a certain banner noble, and even their bodies belonged to the master.

Hong Chengchou and Zuo Maotai immediately registered the population, established a prefecture and established a county, and re-issued cultivated land to each household in accordance with the laws of China.

The current Jinzhou Mansion, belongs to the vast land and sparsely populated, the land is greatly surplus, Hong Chengchou did not relocate the people, but according to the degree of population concentration, the west of the Tashan Fort was established as Tashan County, however, Tashan County is closer to Ningyuan Mansion, so Li Zicheng is in charge, Tashan County is assigned to Ningyuan Mansion, and Liu Tailin is transferred from the mansion to serve as the magistrate.

The new Jinzhou Mansion will develop in the northeast direction with the army, and Hong Chengchou and Zuo Maotai can only settle the people near Jinzhou City for the time being.

Li Zicheng completely handed over the Jinzhou Mansion to Hong Chengchou and Zuo Maotai, and he was more concerned about military development, and the information sent back from the front proved that Hong Chengchou's judgment was very correct.

When the first battalion arrived in Yiju, the thousands of Tartars in the city did not resist, but followed Dolgon's footsteps and fled from the side wall of Daqing Fort along the official road.

The cavalry of the Han army first occupied Quang Ninh, then swept away the Tartars north of Quang Ninh, and joined forces with the first battalion in victory at Zhenjing Fort north of Yiwu Lu Mountain, and then the main force moved south along the border wall and completely expelled the remnants of the Tartars to the east of the Liao River.

Liu Yunshui expelled the Tartars of Yizhou with a normal mentality, and the victory of the Mandate of Heaven Army was originally commonplace, while the soldiers of the Han Army Banner encountered a long-lost victory, and they could expel the Tartars like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, which was something they never dreamed of before.

The revenge of these soldiers who had been humiliated by the Tartars was also shocking, they did not accept prisoners of war, and the stragglers of the Tartars were cut to pieces, and they were all cut off from their heads, and there was not a whole corpse.

In the military merits of the Mandate of Heaven Army, there is no such thing as a head, but the soldiers of the Han Army Banner still cut off the head of the Tartar according to the previous custom, pickled it with lime, and then gathered together to ask for merit from the Mandate of Heaven Army.

The head of the Tartar is obviously different from that of the Han people, at least the long pig tail on the head cannot be faked, and there is no such thing as killing good and risking merit.

When Li Zicheng arrived in Guangning, the cavalry of the Han army had already swept away the west of the Liao River, and they also presented the heads of more than 100 tartars.

The city of Quang Ninh is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is really a military location, but after the Tatars entered Quang Ninh, the city wall was destroyed and it was very difficult to recover.

Li Zicheng walked around the original city wall for a week, frowning unconsciously.

The strategic location of Quang Ninh is very important, but the transportation is not convenient, and it is not even on the official road.

Li Zicheng discussed with Hong Chengchou and Zuo Maotai, and the south of the border wall and the west of the Liao River were all assigned to Jinzhou Mansion, and the territory of the entire Jinzhou Mansion was preliminarily determined.

Yizhou is on the official road to the north of Jinzhou, the population is relatively concentrated, and Yizhou is changed to Yixian; On the official road in the northeast of Jinzhou, the original Dalinghe Fort was established as Linghe County; At the junction of the official road and the side wall, there were originally a large number of military forts, among which the Great Black Mountain and the Little Black Mountain were the most famous, which were established as Black Mountain County; In addition to Guangning County, which is close to Yiwu Lu Mountain, between the two official roads, Jinzhou Prefecture temporarily administers four counties.

The battle in Liaodong came to an end for the time being, and the Heavenly Mandate Army not only suffered heavy losses, but also recovered Jinzhou and Guangning on the basis of retaining Ningyuan, which was really unexpected by Li Zicheng.

Fortunately, he was already thinking about Liaodong after the war, in addition to abolishing the military fort and opening the county as a garrison.

The most difficult choice was Wu Sangui and Gao Qiqian's 45,000 Liao soldiers.

These Liao soldiers fight against the Tartars all the year round, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are mainly local Liao people, if they stay in Liaodong, it is very suitable, and they will retire in the future, and they will return to their roots in Liaoning Province.

However, Wu Sangui and Li Xin are both famous generals, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, if they are left in Liaodong, it is likely to produce an internal friction effect of one plus one less than two.

After careful consideration, Li Zicheng decided to separate Wu Sangui from the Liao soldiers, with the Liao soldiers remaining in the new Liaoning Province, while Wu Sangui would return to the Beijing division and be appointed separately.

On the morning of the next day, Li Zicheng convened a military conference in Quang Ninh, which was a new military deployment for Liaoning Province.

The first is the placement of the Han military flag.

There are still eight or nine thousand cavalry in the Han Army Banner, and after streamlining, only more than 5,000 people remained, which were combined into a cavalry regiment, as the first battalion and the fifth regiment, with Li Guohan as the commander.

The rest of the soldiers must be compulsorily discharged, disarmed for the people, and placed in the vicinity of Jinzhou, and those who are lightly wounded and unable to engage in agricultural production are placed in the prefectures and counties to serve as government officials and arrest people.

Zhenghongqi's Gushan Ezhen died in battle, Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Zu Zerun, Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, and Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu, respectively, served as Linghe, Yixian, and Guangning Zhixian.

The second is to discuss the 45,000 Liao soldiers.

Wu Sangui left Liaoning and returned to Beijing for another appointment.

More than 20,000 elites were selected from the Liao soldiers and combined into divisions, with Yang Kun as the division commander, subordinate to the third battalion, and officially established as the third battalion and the fifth division.

In this battle of Ningyuan, nearly 30,000 Tartar war horses were captured, all of which were handed over to the Fifth Division, which was a cavalry division.

The 10,000 soldiers of Shanhaiguan will be divided into two, and Chen Yongfu will be crowned as General Guoyi, leading 5,000 soldiers to guard Shanhaiguan; He named Tang Tong as General Guoyi and led 5,000 soldiers to guard Ningyuan.

The remaining 15,000 Liao soldiers were forcibly discharged, disarmed and returned to the fields, and the government issued arable land, farm tools, and ploughing cattle, and the military assisted them in building houses.

Finally, there is the garrison of Jinzhou Prefecture.

Li Xin's third battalion was stationed in Jinzhou, Quang Ninh, and Yi counties, guarding the whole of Jinzhou, and Chen Yongfu's troops in Shanhaiguan and Tangtong's troops in Ningyuan were all under the control of the third battalion.

Li Zicheng specifically told Li Xin that the Mandate of Heaven Army would soon go south to the Yangtze River and unify China, and the goal of the third battalion was to guard Jinzhou and Ningyuan within the border walls, and try not to carry out large-scale military operations to avoid overstimulating the Tartars.

After the matter was settled here, Li Zicheng rested in Guangning for a day, and summoned Hong Chengchou and Zuo Maotai, and asked them to collect taxes and grain from the people in accordance with the laws of Huaxia and the standard of 15 taxes and 1 to reduce the pressure on grain transportation.

All the tax grain does not have to be escorted to the Beijing Division, and it is used as the military rations for the soldiers of the third battalion on the spot, as long as the relevant accounts are left.

The sun had just come out, and the dew on the tips of the grass reflected a dazzling brilliance.

Li Zicheng bid farewell to the civil and military forces who saw him off, and took his own soldiers and the cavalry of the first battalion to embark on the journey back to Beijing.

He didn't have to think about it, he already understood Wu Sangui's thoughts, so he urged the war horse and walked to Wu Sangui's side, "General Wu has always been a companion of war horses, I don't know how to ride?" ”

"This ......" Wu Sangui didn't understand what Li Zicheng meant for a while, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I am also the emperor who was born soon," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Come, let's try horsepower!"

"Horsepower?"

"Could it be that General Wu doesn't dare?" Li Zicheng laughed, and without waiting for Wu Sangui to reply, he whipped on the hips of the yellow-maned horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked away.

Wu Sangui suddenly understood, he was annoyed in his heart, so he also whipped it, increased the speed of the horse to the maximum, and chased Li Zicheng in front.

The soldiers didn't know why, but the emperor galloped wildly, so they had to urge the war horses and follow closely behind.

The cavalry of the first battalion behind was behind Li Zicheng's own soldiers, Liu Yunshui was like a mirror in his heart, he knew Wu Sangui's thoughts, but he didn't know why the emperor wanted to race horses with Wu Sangui.

After driving dozens of miles in one breath, Li Zicheng was so tired that he was sweating profusely, so he slowed down his horse, glanced at Wu Sangui behind him, and said with a smile: "Happy, I haven't galloped on a horse for a long time, this feeling is definitely not something that the infantry can experience, no wonder the nomadic tribe is unwilling to give up the nomadic lifestyle, even if the life is hard!"

"Woo ......" Wu Sangui pulled the reins, and also slowed down the horse's speed, just behind Li Zicheng's side, but it was strange in his heart, "Your Majesty ......"

Li Zicheng didn't answer, but raised his head and looked at the position of the sun, and said: "It's already the middle of the day, let's rest and rest, and by the way, replenish some dry food and water!"

The soldiers dismounted one after another, each nibbling on dry food with water, and also let the horses rest for a while.

Li Zicheng saw Wu Sangui sitting alone on a stone drinking water, so he leaned over and sat side by side with him, "General Wu is a soldier who is reluctant to belong to his subordinates?" ”

"Villain...... The villain didn't dare to ......"

"Don't dare? That's right," Li Zicheng took a sip of water and said, "Why is General Wu reluctant to subordinate soldiers?" ”

Wu Sangui secretly gritted his teeth and said: "These soldiers under the villain are all trained by the villain himself, even in the face of the cavalry of the Tartars, they will not be ambiguous...... Let them be disarmed and return to the field, the villain is really reluctant to ......"

"The soul of an army does not come from soldiers, but depends on the generals who command the troops!" Li Zicheng looked at Yiwu Lu Mountain not far away, and said indifferently: "Just like the majesty of this mountain, it is not because of the trees on the mountain, but from the mountain itself." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Li Zicheng was almost full, so he handed the remaining dry food and water bags to He Xiaomi, got up and patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder, and said, "As long as General Wu's equestrian skills are not reduced, there will always be a chance to gallop on the field!"

…………………………………………………………………………

When Dolgon returned to Shengjing, the soldiers of the rear army had already told him that the white flag had been wiped out under the city of Ningyuan, and even Duoduo's head was hung on the head of the city of Ningyuan......

Dolgon scolded Wu Sangui, Han Junqi, the Mandate of Heaven Army, and Huaxia Kingdom one by one, but the abuse was useless, and the key was the practical problem.

Duoduo is dead, and the white flag cannot fall.

Azig is brave and not a great bannerman, but he is a man he can trust......

After thinking for a long time, Dorgon decided to let Azig take over as the owner of the White Flag, and as soon as possible, he would transfer the strong men to restore the combat effectiveness of the White Flag; The Han Army Banner battlefield is against the water, which makes Dolgon feel uneasy, and there is no need to form it for the time being, and we will talk about it later.

The Mongolian Eight Banners are bound to be restored, they are the most loyal and reliable allies of the Great Qing State, but the re-formation of the Mongolian Eight Banners requires Mongolian warriors, no way, Dolgon handed over this matter to Zilharang, and asked him to first recruit strong men from the neighboring Mongolian Horqin Division, first restore two or three banners, and then go to the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert to recruit strong men.

Because Turg had a high prestige in the hearts of the Mongols in Monan, he sent Turg with the will of Shunzhi to go to Monan Mongolia to preach the decree first, make the necessary preparations, and wait for Zilharang to arrive, and then form the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Duoduo sacrificed his life on the battlefield, and his eldest son Zhulan was only nine years old, which was not enough to support the entire family, and his family could not be ignored by the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon consulted with Azig and divided the fortunes and family property of Doldor equally, and the children were all included in the palace of the Prince of England and the palace of Prince Rui respectively with their mothers.

Although Dorgon himself had many wives and concubines, he had a difficult heir, and so far there were no male children, only one daughter, Tungor, and he had a heart.

In the distribution of the children of Duoduo's wives and concubines, he insisted on asking for Duoduo's fifth son, Dolbo, who was only two years old, and in case he could not give birth to a son in the future, he would let Dolbo inherit the title and continue the incense for Prince Rui's palace.

The reason why Dolgon has a crush on Dolbo is not because Dolgon is cute and wise, what can a two-year-old child see now?

He took a fancy to the identity of Dolbo's biological mother, Dazhe.

The current harem of the Qing Kingdom, the most noble status, is Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, the aunt and nephew, Zhezhe was originally the queen of Huang Taiji, after Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, was named the Empress Dowager of Xiaoduanwen, Shunzhi is also called the Queen Mother; And Bumu Butai is the concubine of Huang Taiji and the biological mother of Shunzhi, and at this time she was named the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang Wen, and she was respected with Zhezhe.

Da Zhe has the same mother as the Empress Dowager Xiaoduanwen, and can be said to be the sister of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduanwen and another aunt of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuangwen; But the biological mother of the Empress Dowager Zhezhe of Xiaoduanwen, Zari Guqi, married her grandson Sonomu after the death of her husband Mangus, and then gave birth to Dazhe, so, from the paternal side, Dazhe should be Zhezhe's niece and Bumu Butai's niece.

The nomads do not pay attention to the generation of women, and the relationship between Dazhe and Zhezhe and Bumu Butai is a bit chaotic, but they are related by blood after all, and blood is thicker than water.

Dolgon just likes the relationship between Dazhe and Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, and if he gets their support, let Dazhe and his son Dolbo enter the palace first, and inherit the title of Prince Rui in the future, the resistance may be much smaller.
