When can ordinary soldiers accept the emperor's entrustment, and Zhu Youzhen, who is outside at this time, attaches great importance to the soldiers, and at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, it can be seen by inspecting the three major battalions.

People hope to be able to be valued, the emperor's sustenance, in an instant warmed the hearts of the soldiers outside the Guan, in the Liaodong military horse system, the local population of Liaodong accounts for the majority, but some of the lower-level and middle-level generals are mostly from the Shandong Division and other places, Gong Wei Jingshi, protect the emperor, protect the people in the Guan, is not they the duty and talent of the Ming soldiers who eat the emperor's grain and receive the emperor's grace?

In the first year of Chongzhen, in November, Houjin raised 90,000 troops and marched west into Mongolia, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan was shocked when he heard the news, and led the king's tent to move west again, leaving only tens of thousands of cavalry queens, and he didn't think about fighting hard with Houjin knife against knife and gun.

On the way to Lin Dan Khan's westward escape, a fast horse came with a message, saying: "Huang Taiji led the army towards the Ming Dynasty. ”

When he learned the news, Shi Fenglai was standing behind Lin Dan Khan, and let out a cold breath, it turned out that Huang Taiji's target was still Daming.

The Eight Banners system was founded by Nurhachi, at first it was just to better manage the Houjin Han Kingdom he established, at first there were only four flags, yellow-red, white-blue, it was a solid color, and then it was added to the four flags of yellow, red, white, and blue, and the banners were all soldiers, brave in battle, riding and archery swordsmanship, and immediately kung fu, the Mongols were also invincible, and after conquering some of the grasslands of Shenyang and Mongolia, they successively established the Han Eight Banners, and the Mongolian Eight Banners. There are only seventy or eighty thousand people who can fight when the banner people are full, but no one dares to underestimate these, there is humanity, and the Jurchens are less than 10,000.

And this time Huang Taiji ordered Dai Shan to lead the Yellow Banner, the White Banner, the Eight Banners, raise 50,000 troops, and march west into Mongolia, this westward advance is mighty, and the marching speed is not fast, at first, Sun Chengzong learned that when Huang Taiji waved his troops westward, according to the covenant, he should have begun to shrink the military strength and Ningyuan City, then he could attack and retreat, but Sun Chengzong was uneasy, so that all the military horses that were preparing to pull out from the perimeter defense line returned to the guarded city, Sun Chengzong learned some Huang Taiji, and knew that Huang Taiji was not a simple character, And under the influence of Sinology, he categorically would not march like this, the soldiers are fast, slow and leisurely, how can he not arouse suspicion. Sure enough, Dai Shan just made a detour, his ultimate goal was still Daming, or Guannei, Dai Shan led the Houjin soldiers and horses who were going west to Jinzhou City, which made the world frightened.

Shi Fenglai immediately urged Lin Dan Khan to wave his troops eastward, Lin Dan Khan was a little helpless, but he knew that when Huang Taiji had signs of westward expansion, the Ming army gathered heavily on the front line of Ningyuan, trying to attack, if he did not express himself at this time, the covenant signed some time ago could be like a piece of waste paper, and when the time came, Houjin would go west again, and the Ming army would sit idly by.

After the battle of Sarhu, this Lin Dan Khan joined forces with the Ming army to deal with the Houjin, but the victory was less and the defeat was more, at that time, only in order to pursue the reward of the Ming court, the work did not contribute, but at this time the Houjin was different from the past, he had the strength to destroy Lin Dan Khan, the direct bloodline of Genghis Khan, Lin Dan Khan was a little afraid, he knew that the Ming Dynasty had a large population, although the national strength was not as good as before, but in the treatment of the Houjin issue, they had some advantages over themselves, after signing the covenant, the Ming also expressed their sincerity, if they are not interesting, Genghis Khan's bloodline will be broken, and the Golden Family will also be destroyed.

His general Tashhai led 50,000 cavalry and began to march east to aid the Ming.

And in North Korea, Mao Wenlong had already arrived at the palace, and asked the Korean Li family to order the Korean royal army to attack and harass the rear of the Houjin, as a small country and a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family had no choice, and could only let the Korean royal army attack the rear of the Houjin.

Dai Shan arrived outside Jinzhou City, only to find that the defense of Jinzhou City was extremely strong, stormed for three days, did not climb the city wall, left 3,000 corpses, and got a report from the rear that 30,000 Ming troops came from Ningyuan, this Ming army is full of cavalry, but it is a long and short Guanning iron cavalry with the Jurchen soldiers.

Seeing that Jinzhou was about to become the Ningyuan of the year, Dai Shan was a little panicked, just because Jinzhou City was under the leadership of Zhao Shujiao, the soldiers were not afraid of death, the artillery fire was intensive, and his own advantages could not be displayed at all.

When Dai Shan learned that the 30,000 Ming army was rushing here, he wanted to meet it, but the 30,000 Ming army was stationed in a city less than 100 miles away from Jinzhou, and he didn't give the Jurchens a chance to fight in the field at all.

Dai Shan's march was decisive, seeing that a blow could not be achieved, the Ming army Guanning Iron Cavalry was on the side, delaying for two days, and then thought of retreating, but at this time, the news came, Huang Taiji's son Hao Ge defeated the Korean royal army, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, so that the Korean royal army did not dare to cross the Yalu River One step, after solving the North Korea, Huang Taiji recruited a large army, and rushed to Ningyuan, and ordered Mang Gurtai to lead more than 20,000 people from the three banners of the white flag to support Dai Shan, Dai Shan had reinforcements, and saw Huang Taiji personally conquering Ningyuan, he knew that this time Huang Taiji was going to break the Guanning defense line, If he retreats at this time, he will definitely be punished, eliminate the uneasiness in his heart, and continue to storm Jinzhou City.

Sun Chengzong also set off for Ningyuan yesterday, where he was going to welcome the arrival of Huang Taiji, and the war broke out on all fronts.

The only thing that made Sun Chengzong dissatisfied was that the combat effectiveness of the Korean royal army was too low, and the 20,000 Korean royal army was beaten by less than 2,000 Jurchens who lost their armor and took off their armor, if it weren't for Mao Wenlong leading the troops to help, I was afraid that the 20,000 Korean royal army would be wiped out and outside the Yalu River.

The news of the beginning of this war was also informed to the imperial court at the first time, and in the recital given to Zhu Youzhen, Sun Chengzong wrote: "The strength of Jiannu is so great that it has never been there, but the emperor can rest assured that the ministers will refuse to leave the enemy." Although Sun Chengzong was confident in the chapter, but the affairs of the soldiers, how could they be so careless, when the first day of the Jinzhou fight, the Ministry of War took out a charter, and arranged a defensive network in the land of Gyeonggi, and Yuan Chonghuan, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of War, had also left the Beijing Division to investigate outside. , the forbidden army in the city, the military household, the three battalions of the Beijing Division, and even the government servants also took action.

The surrounding military towns were even more noisy, and Tianjin Wei had already received an order from the Ministry of War to prepare dry food and prepare to go to Beijing and other places.

At the beginning of the war, the household department transported more materials, and Guo Yunhou had not been to the court for four days and had seen the emperor.

The ordinary people of the entire Beijing division are more or less panicked, and the situation is too big, so that these people mistakenly think that Houjin has entered the customs, for the panic of the people, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies issued an announcement, telling the people that the Liaodong military horses are fighting with Houjin outside the pass, and the outcome is unknown.
