For the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan, they have been Ming people for generations, and they have no resistance to surrender. Now that Ning Yuan has reached a desperate situation, there is no other way to go except surrender.

For the Ming army outside the city, it is naturally better to be able to take Ningyuan without blood and avoid killing than to pay casualties to attack the city. The mission of the army to Liaoxi was to capture Ningyuan, and Ning may capture the families of Ningyuan's army, and at the same time cut off Beijing's connection with Guanwai. Now that Ningyuan has surrendered, the strategic goal has been achieved.

After discussion between the two sides, Wu Ping promised to save the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, as well as the personal property of the surrendered people, so Meng Yong led his troops to open the city gate.

The Ming army marched into the city and occupied the city defense, and the first thing they did was to control Wu Sangui's family.

Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang's family, was killed by the Dashun army, but Wu Sangui's wife and concubines and children were in Ningyuan.

Although the current Wu Sangui was named the king of Pingxi by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was not the vassal king who occupied Yungui in later generations, he did not have his own fief at all, and his family could not fight with the army, so he could only stay in the rear.

Ningyuan is Wu Sangui's old nest, and there is Shanhaiguan Customs, leaving the family in Ningyuan, whether it is the Manchu court or Wu Sangui himself, is very relieved, after all, the Liaoxi Corridor is considered the hinterland controlled by the Manchu Dynasty. Who could have known that the Ming army actually launched an expedition across the sea and launched an attack on southern and western Liaoning from the sea.

Wu Sangui's family members who stayed in Ningyuan include his wife Zhang, Chen Yuanyuan and other concubines, as well as Wu Sangui's two sons Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi, Wu Yingxiong is ten years old and Wu Yingqi is only five years old, all of which are from Wu Sangui's wife Zhang.

In addition, Wu Sangui's generals, Yang Kun, Guo Yunlong, Wu Guogui, Gao Dejie, and the families of his henchmen Li Yousong, Liu Tailin, Gao Xuan and others are also in Ningyuan.

On the second day of Wu Ping's occupation of Ningyuan, he ordered Wu Sangui and his generals to be loaded and transported to Dengzhou. At the same time, he sent people to cross the Bohai Sea to the south by fast boat, go ashore from the mouth of the Daqing River, and go to Liaocheng to report the news through Lijin County.

Wu Ping then reorganized and surrendered his army, repaired Ningyuan and nearby forts, improved the Ningyuan defense line, and began to carry out the strategy of occupying the entire Liaoxi Corridor in order to deal with the upcoming attack of the Manchu army. After all, Liaoxi is such an important place, and the Manchus will definitely not let the Ming army entrench it.

At the same time, Wu Ping sent an order to Sima Nan of Fuzhou, ordering him to abandon his attempt to attack Gaizhou, and only maintain the land of Jinzhou Fuzhou and Liaonan. After experiencing a fierce battle with the Eight Banners Army of Muercha, Wu Ping had a new understanding of the combat power of the Eight Banners, and he was afraid that Sima Nan would be defeated by the Eight Banners Army.

............

Although it has entered the spring, the sea is still blowing mainly from the north wind, Wu Ping sent a speedboat from Juehua Island, five days across the Bohai Sea, to the Shandong Sea, at the mouth of the Daqing River ashore, and in five days to reach Jinan, finally the news of the capture of Ningyuan arrived.

At this time, the tide of the battle has changed again. After a period of confrontation, seeing that the Ming army had no intention of attacking, Dolgon finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He didn't dare to attack Liaocheng or Jinan directly, after all, the two cities were guarded by a large number of Ming troops, and it was very difficult to capture them.

Dolgon chose to divide his troops to the west to attack the Daimyo's Mansion in Quang Binh Province. On March 16, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Bellebolo led troops to capture Wei County, because the Ming army defending the city refused to surrender, the Qing army entered the city and slaughtered the city, and 30,000 soldiers and civilians died.

On March 21, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Belle Lek Dehun led a partial division to attack Guangping County, the Guangping army and people swore to resist to the death, Lek Dehun failed to attack the city, so he sent people to capture the people in the countryside of Guangping, forced the people to attack the city as cannon fodder, the Guangping defenders were extremely angry, went out of the city to fight to the death to solve the father and old man outside the city, but was defeated by the Qing soldiers, Lek Dehun took the opportunity to kill into the city, slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city.

For more than half a month, the Qing army captured more than 10 county seats, and carried out a brutal and inhumane situation, after the news reached Liaocheng, the Liaocheng generals were extremely angry, and they asked for war in front of Chen Yue, the king of Qi.

The atrocities of the Qing army naturally made Chen Yue extremely angry, and as a Ming soldier, he naturally could not let the people be wantonly slaughtered.

We must fight and give the Manchu Tartars a blow!

On March 25, the news came that Luckedhun and Bolo joined forces to attack the Daimyo's Mansion City, and Li Yi and Yu Feng's generals asked for battle one after another, asking to lead troops to the Daimyo's rescue.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yue rejected the generals' request, because he knew that compared with the Qing army, which had a large number of cavalry, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was greatly inferior.

Since you have to fight, you must choose the right battlefield by yourself, and you can't let Manchu lead you by the nose.

On March 26, Chen Yue finally sent troops, personally led an army of 150,000, and sent troops from Liaocheng Jinan in three ways, with a distance of 20 miles between each army, and launched an attack on Linqing.

The movement of the Ming army could not be concealed from the Manchus, and after Dolgon heard the news, he immediately sent a letter to Bololk Dehun, ordering him to lead the army back.

The strength of the Qing army was originally less than that of the Ming army, and without the two cavalry of Bolo and Luckdehun, it was naturally unable to match the Ming army.

The Ming army came from three directions, with a total number of as many as 150,000, three times that of the Eight Banners Army left behind in Linqing, but Dolgon was not afraid at all.

For more than ten years, as a Manchu prince, Dolgon led the army to fight countless wars, including Mongolia, Korea, Li Chuang, and of course, the Ming army.

Over the years, Dorgon has been through a hundred battles, and his army has been invincible, and he has never been defeated. In the entire camp, if it is good at fighting and scheming, Dorgon is second to none. Bolo and Lucked Hun are just two hairy boys compared to him.

Although he faced Chen Yue, the most famous general of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Qi, although Chen Yue also had an invincible reputation and defeated the two armies of Duo Azig, Dolgon was not afraid of Chen Yue.

In the past few years, Dolgon has analyzed the failed cases of the Southern Expedition nowhere else, and has also had an in-depth understanding of Chen Yue. Although he admitted that Chen Yue was brave and good at fighting, he still believed that the reason why Duoduo Azig was defeated was not how strong the Ming army was, but that the successive victories had stunned the minds of too many of them, making them despise the Ming army very much. This is the truth that the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

Dolgon did not believe that the fighting power of the Ming Army was stronger than that of the Eight Banners Army, and in his opinion, the Eight Banners were still invincible in the world! And Chen Yue and his ilk are just some intrigues.

The news of the Ming army's attack on Ningyuan had already reached the Linqing front line from the Beijing court, and Dolgon saw the Ming army's intentions at a glance and knew that he could not wait any longer. Then he ordered the news to be tightly sealed, and then sent Bolo and Le Kedehun to attack each city, and provoked the Ming army by slaughtering the city, forcing it to send troops for a decisive battle.

As for the Ming army that invaded Liaoxi, Dolgon didn't care, as long as he could defeat Chen Yue in Liaocheng, he could naturally return to his division and easily eliminate the lone army that went deep into Liaoxi. (https:)
