When the 10,000 dragoon army led by Xiong Anwen became full-time scavengers, the pursuit speed of the Ming army also rushed to 15 kilometers a day to reach 30 kilometers.

Three days after leaving Weiqing City, Xiong's 10,000 dragoons were ambushed by 30,000 cavalry led by Dolgon and Bomu Bogol.

In one day of pursuit, Xiong Anwen only encountered a small group of enemy cavalry, but never found any trace of Dorgon's army, Xiong Anwen finally couldn't bear it, he ventured. In order to slow down the speed of the Ming army and strangle Xiong An's 10,000 dragoons, Dolgon decided to set up an ambush on the road to lure Xiong An'an into the trap. In this way, the Second World War between the two sides began.

Although the war lasted for more than three hours, both sides did their best from the beginning, and both sides paid a heavy price in the two hours of fighting.

Xiong Anwen's 10,000 army was almost defeated, more than 5,000 people were killed in the battle, and almost everyone was wounded, Xiong Anwen himself was seriously injured, if it wasn't for Xiong Anwen's wounded and dead fighting and not retreating, this 10,000 army would almost be wiped out, and there would be no one left.

Dolgon's army suffered nearly 5,000 casualties. Although Dolgon's plan in this battle was to completely annihilate Xiong's 10,000-strong army, it ended with Dolgon's voluntary retreat. The reason why Dolgon took the initiative to retreat was not because he was defeated, but because the time of the battle exceeded Dolgon's expectations, four hours was the time when the first batch of reinforcements of the Ming army arrived on the battlefield as soon as possible, and what Dolgon was worried about was not the first batch of reinforcements of the Ming army, but the continuous reinforcements of the Ming army.

The victory in this battle won Dolgon greater prestige in the three divisions, and also bought time for the three divisions to evacuate. This battle also made Man Gui more cautious, and Man Gui began to adopt a step-by-step strategy. After all, after defending Qingcheng, the Ming army was also blind to the local terrain, this area, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty had never set foot in it, and the Manchus had never set foot in it before, since it was driven here by the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus began to explore this area.

The war between the Ming and the Manchus in Siberia attracted the attention of a third power in Siberia, the Russians, and the Manchus had much better relations with the Russians than the Ming hatred of the Russians. It's just that the Russians only have a few hundred people in this area, and their defense is barely supportive, and if it is an attack, there is nothing they can do at all.

Weiqingcheng, before the Ming army entered, was the garrison of the three departments under the command of Dolgon, just a stone city within a radius of several miles, after the Ming army entered, the Ming army relied on Weiqingcheng to expand to the north, and Weiqingcheng became the first military town of the Ming army in Siberia.

By the beginning of July, the three departments had evacuated nearly 100,000 people, and Man Gui finally learned of Dorgon's plan to travel east to the Americas, and this news was also deliberately confided to Man Gui by Dongchang. In the middle of this, only the East Factory, which was supported by Zhu Youxiao, not only knew Dolgon's plan, but also knew the strategic deployment of the Northern Expedition, and with the help of the East Factory, Dolgon's plan was never leaked.

According to Zhu Youxiao's plan, Zhu Youxiao only planned to help Dolgon's three departments evacuate 100,000 to 150,000 people, which could ensure that the three departments could survive in the Americas, and could not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

After learning of Dolgon's plan, Mangui had to speed up the pace of his march and drive Dolgon's three tribes to continue their migration north. However, Mangui's army has not been able to find the main force of Dolgon's army.

This game of cat and mouse lasted until the end of July. According to Dolgon's plan, there would be no decisive battle with the Ming army before mid-August, after all, in August, this sea area would still be navigable.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao received very bad news: Vasily Poyarkov, a clerical officer of Tsarist Russia, was ordered by his superior, Yakutsk Military and Political Governor Golovin, to lead an armed force of 132 people from Yakutsk to carry out aggression in the Heilongjiang region. This group of invaders did not carry food, and lived entirely on looting, and even killed and preyed on the locals for food with extermination of humanity.

In this era, it seems that only the Ming people talk about civilization, so in history, it was the Ming Dynasty who suffered a big loss, so the Ming Dynasty perished.

"I told me again and again to watch out for the Russians, and in the end I saw this result." Zhu Youxiao was angry and threw the secret music to the ground.

Zhu Youxiao reigned for twenty-three years, the inner and outer kings, invincible in the southern and northern wars, and accumulated power for a long time, as soon as he became angry, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even Wang Liqian, who was standing on the side and waiting, knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

After Zhu Youxiao looked around, he said in a cold voice: "For three months, I only give three months to the three divisions of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Criminal Department, and within three months, I must see the corpses of the Russians hanging on the road they have entered Heilongjiang, otherwise, you will all return to your hometown." ”

"Commandment." Wang Liqian, the governor of Dongchang, Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Xu Shiqi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said.

"The Russians are no less cruel than the Manchus, and I will never sit idly by, and I ask the Governor's Mansion of Dadu, the Governor of Beijing, the Governor of Shenyang, and the Governor of Lanzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Russia, and I want to drive the Russians out of Xipol, and I will complete the First Northern Expedition to Russia within two years." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Commandment." Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Si bowed and said.

What the Russians did in Heilongjiang is definitely a common indignation, and now Zhu Youxiao is angry again, Zhu Youxiao wants to go north to Russia, and no one dares to refute it for the time being.

……

After the next dynasty, Zhu Youxiao summoned Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Si separately to discuss the Northern Expedition to Russia, now Russia's power in Siberia is extremely weak, and the military stronghold established, the garrison is no more than 1,000 people, and it is also the best time for Zhu Youxiao to use force.

"Wang Liqian, tell Yuan Aiqing and Chen Aiqing about the situation in Xipol, and let the governor's mansions prepare early." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, according to the report, the garrison of Yakutsk is only about 1,000 people, and the artillery is at most ten, but there is a fortress on the side of Yakutsk called Oryok Minsk, and the city of Oryok Minsk has a garrison of 500 people, and there are no more than 10 artillery pieces, if our army wants to attack Yakutsk from Heilongjiang, we must first seize the city of Oryok Minsk, otherwise, the logistics supply of our army will be threatened at any time." Wang Liqian said.

After Wang Liqian finished speaking, he took out a pamphlet and said: "There is a pamphlet here, and the pamphlet records the military deployment of the Russians in Siberia, and I believe that this pamphlet will definitely be of great help to the two generals' Northern Expedition plan." ”
