The Datong Federation is not the Central Plains Dynasty, there is no need to play with the emperor's power to unify military orders and government orders, and the command of the battlefield is directly delegated to the war zone.

Jiangnan battlefield, the Datong army used a winter time to quell the rear gentry riots, in order to echo the northern friendly forces in mid-March to assemble in the Wuhu area of the Qing army to attack, this round of offensive momentum, the Datong army into the five towns of cavalry, eight towns of cavalry two elite cavalry, the seventh to the sixteenth infantry town of the infantry a total of ten towns, as well as a water battalion, three artillery brigades, a total of more than 150,000 troops, the Qing army for a time felt the rumors.

The defeat of Wuhu will not protect Jiangning, the commander of the Qing army, Bolo, did not dare to slack off, and forcibly incorporated the local regimental training township soldiers who claimed to defend the famous religion into the Green Camp Army, and cobbled together 300,000 troops to defend the Wuhu line, Ma Guangyuan led the army to attack from the front with little success, but the strength of the Qing army was also attracted by him, and the flank defense was weakened. The old commander Du Wenhuan seized the fighter plane and personally led Li Dingguo's Cavalry Five Towns, Tie Biao's Bujiu Town, Hu Dawei's Twelve Towns, and Cao Bianjiao's Thirteen Towns from Fanchang to attack Gaochun in the rear of the Qing army's flank, and the defender Li Benshen could not withstand the offensive and abandoned the city after holding on for three days.

Fanchang and Gaochun are already in their hands, and then they will work hard to take the city of Taipingfu, at that time the Qing soldiers will be surrounded on three sides, except for jumping into the Yangtze River to feed the fish there is no way out, the unprecedented victory is not far away - the morale of the Datong army is like a rainbow, and the Qing army is trampling under the feet, at this time, the deputy town of the thirteen towns of the town of Luo Dayong escorted a team of Qing cavalry into Gaochun County.

Yang Chengzu was originally Luo Rucai's subordinate, the old man was conspired by Li Zicheng and defected to Gao Jie, and the more the official became the more mixed with the position of the general soldier, this time with Li Benshen guarded Gaochun, abandoned the city and fled when he suddenly saw the banner of his friend Luo Dayong, and his brain was clever and he ran to surrender with more than 100 cronies such as deputy general Wang Long.

"The villain was confused for a while to do evil, and now he knows his mistake, and he is willing to change his evil and return to the right to serve the Datong Federation, my lord, the Qing army has a treacherous plan, Bolo led an army of 100,000 to set up an ambush in Gaochun Lake, Li Benshen, Li Chengdong, Gao Jinku, Wu Zhaosheng and other thieves are there, you must not guard against it!" When Yang Chengzu saw the old handsome, he knelt down and kowtowed, and by the way, he explained the Qing army's strategy and plan.

"Yang Chengzu, do you think that Ben Shuai can't see Bolo's tricks, and I don't need you to make contributions, I want to ask you, how should the account of Yangzhou Massacre be calculated?" The old man replied with a sneer.

"The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty, the villain's soldiers are not Gao Jie's descendants, he has been in arrears for several months, and his eyes are red when he has the opportunity to rob, and the villain can't control it!" Yang Chengzu wept bitterly and kowtowed to the old man, and then crawled to Tuo Yangkun, the senator who supervised military affairs, and begged, "Tuo Leader, you know villains best, I really am not that kind of madman!" ”

Luo Dayong immediately said good words: "Lao Yang was a well-known man when he was in Cao Ying, and he was forced by Li Blind to have no choice but to embark on the evil road, the matter of Yangzhou Massacre was that Dongyu instructed the troops to do evil, and he really can't be blamed all, the last general has the courage to ask the old man to be gracious and reward him with a way out!" ”

Yang Chengzu is a fellow villager in Qingjian, he was an old acquaintance when he was a rogue, Tuoyangkun is not good not to help, he hesitated for a while and said: "Old Yang, it's not that my brother is embarrassed for you, but the laws of the Datong Federation are strict, and those who are on the Supreme Court's hanging list must have a presidential pardon if they want to get rid of their crimes, so let's do it, you fight a few battles to atone for your crimes, and then apply to go to the Western Regions, I want to find a way to ensure a good death for you, there are not many people alive in Cao Ying, and how you mix in the future depends on your own creation." ”

"If you hear it, do it well, we are all Yansui people, and we will not treat our fellow villagers badly." The old marshal waved his hand to signal Yang Chengzu to retreat, and then lowered his voice and ordered to his own soldiers, "Immediately send an order to Qin Hu, Ma Jinzhong, and Ren Shouzhong to speed up the march, and rush to the south of Gaochun before dusk tomorrow to hide and standby." ”

Yang Chengzu was lucky, the Yansui people in Datong were powerful, and he was willing to speak for his fellow villagers, and he became the only lucky person to be sentenced to death by hanging by the Federal Supreme Court to receive amnesty.

The next day, Cao Bianjiao led more than 30,000 people from Bujiu Town, Bu 12 Town, and Bu 13 Town to set out camp, and quickly advanced in the direction of Taipingfu City, and sent back an urgent report at dusk, the army was ambushed in the north of Gaochun Lake, and the Qing army had more than 100,000 troops - the old man looked calm, and waved his hand to let the five towns, seven towns, eight towns, and sixteen towns hidden in the south of Gaochun continue to rest, and did not issue an order to send troops until dawn the next day.

The battle of Gaochun Lake was not alarmed, Boluo sent all the elite green battalions that could be mobilized to set up ambushes, and the Datong army also fell into the ambush circle as they wished, but the absolute superiority of three to one forces was not able to defeat the other party - the Datong army was obviously on guard, Cao Bianjiao commanded the three towns to retreat to the lake in a zigzag dense formation, erected hundreds of array walls to cover the cannons, bows and crossbows took turns to fire volleys, the green battalion army only had small cannons, three-eyed guns and a small number of arquebuses, and the bows of five or six fighting forces were not powerful, and the long-range shooting was not an opponent, relying on the large number of people to rush forward, But the opponent's battle formation was as solid as a rock, and the repeated attacks were full of corpses and fruitless.

Bo Luo, the commander of the Qing army who was watching the battle from afar, was a little helpless, and turned his face to a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman next to him and said: "Lao Liu, you are really rich, there are more guns than before, and the green battalion soldiers can't get close to hand-to-hand combat, do you plan to kill all the people like this?" ”

"Who told you to play tricks, since you are here, don't think about going back, Lord Belle, please send the Eight Banners brothers to supervise the battle, and behead anyone who dares to fight cowardly, we only promise to protect Manchuria, and we are not interested in rotten soldiers." The middle-aged man replied happily - Liu Liangchen, the chief of the rank of the staff general of the Titang Division of the Presidential Palace, was ordered to go to Jiangnan to assist Hu Chunshui, and has been following Bolo's side these days in the name of preparing for military supplies.

"Order all units of the Green Battalion to prepare for night battles, not to stop the attack, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!" Bolo also smiled faintly and ordered, it is useless to play tricks if the strength is not good, the combat power of the two armies is not at the same level at all, and this useless green battalion soldiers will be wiped out, so as not to leave trouble.

The effect of the night battle is even worse, the green battalion soldiers can't fight in the dark, the ignition torch attack has become a live target, the hard fight has been a night of heavy casualties, but it seems that the other party's fur has not been injured, the green battalion soldiers have stayed up until dawn like a nightmare, without waiting for them to catch their breath, the Datong army reinforcements arrived, Bolo saw that the general trend had gone, and Liu Liangchen did not hesitate to run with the Eight Banners, and then the road to Jiangning was cut off by the Datong Army Cavalry Five Towns, the green battalion soldiers were defeated by the enemy inside and outside, tens of thousands of people died in the battle, Gao Jinku, Wu Zhaosheng also died in the chaos, Less than 50,000 remnants of the army fled north with Li Benshen and Li Chengdong.

Gaochun Lake was victorious, the Datong army continued to pursue and kill the poor Kou, Cao Bianjiao conquered Taipingfu City, Ma Guangyuan conquered Wuhu County, Lin Feiyu's water camp also blocked the Yangtze River waterway, and the remaining more than 200,000 green battalions were compressed and surrounded in a narrow area on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The battle reached such a point, the Qing army completely lost the strength of a war, north of the Yangtze River, Zhang Ding's iron cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, besieged Wang Wenkui, the governor of Huaiyang in the Qing court, and Zhao Fuxing, the governor of Fengyang, in Huai'an, the commander of the Eight Banners, the Zhun Ta turtle retreated to Xuzhou and did not dare to rescue, south of the Yangtze River, Hong Chengchou and Boluo retreated to Jiangning, Suzhou, and Songjiang to support the three prefectures, while the local republic of Zhejiang was in full swing, Jin Sheng and Zhang Cunren joined forces to drive King Lu to Zhoushan, and fully implemented the new policy of Datong in the state capitals - the situation in the south is very good, and the old marshal is in Datong, Wuchang sent a letter, requesting that money and grain be allocated to contain and reorganize the Green Camp Army, so as to expand the army to occupy Liangjiang, and then go south to Fujian, Zhejiang, and Liangguang.

Shandong battlefield, the main force of the Datong army sent troops to Liaodong, the main force of the Qing army was also transferred to Zhili, the strength of the two sides in Shandong was equal, no one was able to eat each other, they were very careful to hold their respective territories, as far as possible to avoid a big war, the more active is Zhang Ruoqi, Sun Zhiqi's two Shandong township soldiers, these guys under the banner of "helping the Qing to destroy the captives, defending the famous religion" entrenched in Qingzhou, Laizhou two prefectures to make chaos, and gradually formed a powerful restoration force, Shandong commander Wang Fang sent Liu Qian, Hao Shaoqi several times to encircle and suppress but did not succeed, There was nothing to do about them for a while, but at this time, a person came out, and the situation in Shandong changed greatly.

After Azig retreated to Zhili, Henan Governor Luo Xiujin almost became a lost dog, fortunately Yunrong was kind, and when he left office, he deliberately explained that this Luo Lao Ge was a talent, and he should try to preserve it, and Du Hongtai, the successor of Henan, left Linzhang and Cizhou two county towns to him. Luo Xiujin stepped on two boats from then on, and presented the "local republic" strategy to Datong, but he only had two counties in his hands, obviously not enough, Datong used his strategy to Zhejiang, but let Zhang Cunren pick up a cheap, this guy was very unconvinced, and hit the idea to Ding Wensheng, the governor of Shandong, who was also from Liaodong, and Chen Jin, the governor of Denglai, so he frequently wrote letters to persuade him, and Zheng Daqian, the head of Luoyang Titang, carried out a specific rebellion.

The Qing Dynasty is declining, the Qing army is naturally fluctuating, the Eight Banners stationed in Dengzhou Duolong is the smartest, instigating a mutiny to kill Ke Yongsheng, the chief soldier of Denglai, and fleeing to Rizhao with his head, Ding Wensheng and Chen Jin were shocked and frightened, and had to think for themselves, Luo Jinxiu's letter just pointed out a way out, so the three of them sent representatives to conspire in Jining "local republic", and the Shandong township soldiers unfortunately became victims - at the end of March, Liu Qian and Hao Shaoqi once again led the Shandong Datong Army to encircle and suppress Qingzhou and Laizhou, and at the same time, Shandong, Denglai Qing army also sent troops to help encircle, how could the Shandong township soldiers afford to provoke three strong enemies, they were defeated and scattered, Sun Zhiqi hid back to his hometown Zichuan and was killed by the mob, Zhang Ruoqi cheekily surrendered to the Datong army, and the Shandong gentry armed forces disappeared.

On the battlefield of Zhili, Azig was ordered to stick to the front line of Zhuozhou and Gu'an, and fought several battles with Zhao Ji to gradually force the other party to retreat to Yizhou, but his brain suddenly entered the water, and he actually instructed Suke Saha to sue Qi Chongge and Ganglin's black state, and was rushed to Shanhaiguan to lead the army in a fit of anger by Dolgon. Azig complained to Shanhaiguan with a full stomach, and before his ass was hot, Chang Shu led Tu Lichen's cavalry town and Subutai's cavalry six towns to kill, and Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, who were stationed outside the pass, got together to get together to get ten thousand people, and they were powerless to fight against the iron cavalry, and hid in the avant-garde fort city to constantly ask for help. Azig was angry, personally led the Eight Banners to fight, but bad luck, just out of the customs and a lack of horn three-color eagle banner Datong iron cavalry encountered, the other party should be Manchurian accents, but it seems to have a deep hatred with him, red eyes rushed up to slash and kill, the Eight Banners were frightened by the posture of this group of people to exchange their lives for their lives, and they were defeated in confusion, and more than 300 people died. Azig later learned that this iron cavalry was the former Fengzhou Iron Cavalry former right battalion that he had fought in Karacheng, that battle their battalion officer Dehun An committed suicide, the remnants of the surrender, the military flag was also cut off a corner, the surviving soldiers regarded it as a great shame, the number of this iron cavalry, personnel have been repeatedly adjusted in the following years, but always retain the missing corner of the military flag, in order to inspire the whole battalion soldiers to defeat Azig to snow shame, no wonder to meet to desperately.

Datong Iron Cavalry is so strong, I only have fifteen Manchurian Niulu, and the three thousand people who can go out to fight are only in their hands, and one is less than one, and after fighting like this, I will not live anymore - the more Azig thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, and orders Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming to retreat to Guancheng, but he himself led the Eight Banners to hide in Yongping.

Azig did nothing in Shanhaiguan, but gave Zhao Ji a chance, Datong Army Bu 3 Town, Bu 5 Town again out of Yizhou, the front of the army pointed directly at Zhuozhou, stationed in Zhuozhou, Gu'an line of green battalion soldiers have more than 80,000 people, but without the support of the Eight Banners did not dare to fight a field battle, very honest hid in the city to sit and wait to be killed, Dolgon was angry and hated in his hands but there was no general to send, so he had to transfer his sworn enemy Zierharang to Zhuozhou to unify the army.

Jierharang is smarter than Azig, when he arrives in Zhuozhou, he doesn't fight but keeps flattering him, Zhao Ji can't stand it, and retreats back to Yizhou, Jierharang takes the opportunity to lead the main force of the green battalion army to kill Baoding - Jiang Jian escaped a catastrophe and returned to Baoding, and also took advantage of the chaos to expand everywhere, Zhending, Hejian, Cangzhou, Shunde The four prefectures and counties fell into his hands, and the waist was thick and no one listened to anyone's words, as if it had become a separatist force, and the Qing army suddenly killed to make him sober up, and hurriedly asked Hui Xian for help from the fallen horse pass, but Hui Xian refused to send troops on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Jiang Zhai stubbornly cobbled together fifty or sixty thousand people to fight, the rabble was unbearable, was defeated by the Qing army, even the old nest Baoding was lost, and the other prefectures and prefectures saw that the situation was not good, Jiang Zhai only led more than 100 horses to flee into the inverted horse pass, this guy was embarrassed to go to Datong quietly but returned to his hometown Yulin, and later gambled on the family property accumulated over the years to deduct military salaries and greedy military expenses to open mines and dig coal in his hometown, and concurrently burn coke, and became a coal boss with a net worth of millions after more than ten years.

Jierharang forced back Zhao Ji, defeated Jiang Pin, this is a rare victory since the war with Datong, Prince Zheng won the applause of the Qing court with his great martial arts, and after the victory, he threw down the green camp army and returned to Zhuozhou, he just walked on the front foot, Zhao Ji gathered Zhang Chuanjie, Yuan Lie, Huixian three towns to kill Baoding, near Xushui to encircle and annihilate more than 50,000 green battalion soldiers who retreated north, and then conquered the city of Baoding, and the state capitals of Zhili who had just returned to the Qing court fell into the hands of the Datong army in a blink of an eye - Zhao Ji and Jierharang successfully completed a black box operation, The Qing army helped Datong to destroy the Jiang Pai who tried to divide one side, Datong helped the Qing army to destroy the green camp army that could rebel at any time, and then the two families did not fight, Jierharang continued to sit firmly in Zhuozhou, Zhao Ji led the army eastward to meet with the Sun Fuhu Department who landed at Dagukou, in early April, the two departments worked together to capture the city of Tianjin, Tianjin Governor Zhang Xin was the former Ming Dynasty Shangshu, the scholar talked about integrity, and the city was broken when he took his family to self-immolate.

Zhao Ji's actions attracted the attention of the Qing army, and Li Yu seized the fighter plane and quickly sent Wu Laoba's artillery team south, cooperating with Zhou Yuji's Busi Town and Haishan's Buliu Town to storm the south entrance of Juyong Pass again. This offensive is mainly artillery, Wu Laoba mobilized 50 18-pounder guns and more than 200 thousand-pound camp guns, mortar cannons, artillery not only solid bullets, flowering shells, but also expensive incendiary bombs, Nankou Guancheng after seven days and seven nights of repeated bombardment into a sea of fire, the wall was also hit in several big gaps, the Qing army has gone, Shi Tingzhu ordered Banha to retreat to Changping, he led the Han army to continue to resist with a white flag, but he fought less than a day and could not stand it - Haishan led the Buliu Town Front Association and the Right Association to conquer the urn city, Artillery was then brought in to bombard the inner city.

When the time came to serve the imperial court, Shi Tingzhu boarded the fortress and shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "Brothers, is the first emperor good to us?" ”

"Good!" The soldiers shouted in unison, Emperor Taizong did not treat the Han people as outsiders, there was no food to eat, he did not hesitate to bow his head and beg North Korea to borrow grain, he couldn't afford to ask for a wife, he was a matchmaker to let everyone marry the widow and old woman in the banner, and also came forward to preside over the collective wedding.

"I don't hide it from you, the fall of Nankou is imminent, after this battle, the Great Qing Kingdom may be over, I don't know what the Prince of Jin will do with the Eight Banners, but I know that men are not afraid of death, and the old and young in the family can straighten their waists and live, do you dare to fight to the death with me for the father and fellow villagers of the Eight Banners?"

"Dare!"

"Good man, there are those who are dragged down at home, and others who are not afraid of death will follow me!" Shi Tingzhu pulled out his sword and walked towards the wall, and seven or eight hundred soldiers followed him.

The right co-ordinator Rosh climbed up the wall along the collapsed ruins, and Shi Tingzhu just collided together, the two knew each other when they were in Liaodong, and they scolded each other and killed together, and after a while, the former co-co-ordinator Taqib also brought people up - what kind of scene is this, Rosh and Taqib are Manchurians, and Shi Tingzhu is a Sinicized Manchurian, and his subordinates are also Liaodong Han people, the two sides used to fight side by side in the Eight Banners, but now they have parted ways and killed each other.

Shi Tingzhu scolded the rebellion in his mouth and slashed Rosh with a knife, but Taqib's war knife also stabbed him in the chest, and the soldiers of the Han army with the white flag behind him continued to fight to the death until they were all killed, and the south entrance immediately fell, and the west gate of the Beijing division collapsed.

The Datong army tightened the noose around the neck of the Qing court, and the Jingshi was suddenly dead, and the people in the Eight Banners began to discuss the way out in private, and Han Chen, who had been the most energetic in shouting and shouting in the past, also shut up, and the leaders of the Northern Party, Feng Quan and Li Ruolin, simply disappeared automatically. At this point, Dolgon was the most calm, and when he got the news of the defeat outside the Guanwai, he immediately recruited all the banners and Aha of the Eight Banners over the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty to enter the camp, and at the same time sent Qi Chongge out of the fortress to find Li Yu to discuss peace - everything that could be done was done, and the rest should be subject to the will of heaven.
