After the rebellion, Huang Taiji took the son of the Joseon king Li Liang, the prince of Fenglin, Li Haoquan, to Shengjing as a hostage. Huang Taiji and Dolgon's wishful thinking was to train the heir to the Joseon throne, Cho Hyun Shizi, into a puppet king who was pro-Manchu, and then he could strengthen his control over the Korean state.

After years of brainwashing by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this Zhaoxian prince did develop a position close to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was willing to make the Korean state become a vassal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, instead of taking the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain.

After Dolgon ascended the throne, he sent the son of Chohyun back to Korea, and was forced to canonize the son of Chokhyun as the heir to the throne of Joseon. When the time came, Dolgon planned to replace the hostile Manchu Li Liang with the pro-Manchu son Zhaoxian.

The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, no matter whether he was public or private, was no longer interested in this prince who had returned from being cleansed and even wanted to usurp the throne of the king, and even had the intention of killing him as soon as possible. Two months after Zhaoxian's return to China, he died violently for no reason, and it was rumored that he was poisoned by Li Liang.

The death of the son of Chohyun completely frustrated Dolgon's desire to establish a puppet regime in Joseon, and he had to send back another prince of Fenglin who was detained in Shengjing, that is, Li Hao, who has now ascended the throne as the king of Joseon.

And Li Hao is very different from Zhaoxian Shizi, not only has he not been brainwashed by the Manchus over the years, but he has also accumulated a lot of hatred for the Manchus, and after becoming the king of Joseon, he began to secretly train strong soldiers.

After venting on the dragon couch, Dorgon fell into deep thought, and even the woman beside him didn't bother to look at it again.

Within a month or two, Dolgon's troubles followed.

Two months ago, Dolgon first received the report of the defeat of the Xuanjia army's sudden attack on Phi Island, killing one or two hundred defenders.

Fang Yuan tasted the sweetness of the battle of Liaodong, and now he has repeated his old tricks, and came to rebuild Phi Dao as a fortress to invade the Manchu rear, which was also expected by Dolgon.

After Dolgon consulted with Dord, Sonny and other important ministers, it was impossible for the Xuanjia army to cross the sea to attack Phi Island because of the advantage of the naval division. The only way is to wait until winter and when the sea freezes, choose to send troops to Uiju in Korea, which is across the sea from Phi Island. It would be best if the Korean army could be invited to take Phi Dao with them. Waiting for the total annihilation of the Xuanjia Army that landed on the island gave Fang Yuan a profound lesson, and made Fang Yuan completely dead and then build the Dongjiang Military Town.

But half a month ago, Dolgon suddenly received a secret report from North Korea. Fang Yuan actually sent an envoy to Korea for peace talks, and the Korean king Li Hao also received Fang Yuan's envoy ceremoniously. How did the two sides negotiate peace, and what conditions came out of the peace talks, the Manchu side did not get the slightest rumor. However, when the court was deliberating, the result of Jin Zidian and other pro-Manchu Gongxi factions being expelled from the court was clear at a glance.

Dolgon didn't have to think about it to guess that the Joseon king Yi Hao and Fang Yuan's envoys had reached an agreement against the Manchus.

Hearing the sudden betrayal of the Korean state, Dolgon, who turned to Fang Yuan, was furious, which meant that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely out of control of the Korean state, and if the Xuanjia army went all the way out of Shanhaiguan to attack Liaoxi, and all the way from Korea to cross the river to attack Liaodong, the Manchu Qing would inevitably face a situation of fighting on two fronts with the Ming Dynasty and Korea.

And this time, the commander of the Ming Dynasty was no longer Yuan Chonghuan, who sat back and watched the fall of the Korean state, but fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, and unified Fangyuan south of the Great Wall; The army of the Ming Dynasty was no longer a Ming army that had no field ability and only dared to hide on the city wall and pile up cannons, but the hundred battle lions that severely damaged the Manchu Eight Banners in the Battle of Shandong and the Battle of Liaodong.

The intuition of a generation of heroes told Dolgon that the real crisis of the Manchus had finally come to the door!

Dolgon once again found his younger brother Duoduo, the important ministers of the court, Sony, Fan Wencheng and others to discuss countermeasures. The final result of the discussion was to adopt Fan Wencheng's three-pronged approach.

The so-called three-pronged approach, one of which is to order Duoduo and Ao Bai to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, make a posture of crossing the river, and promote the prestige of the army; The second is diplomatic pressure, sending Fan Wencheng as an envoy to reprimand the Korean king Li Hao to immediately stop any contact with Fang Yuan, and gather sailors and troops, and when the Manchu iron cavalry arrives in Korea, the two sides will fight and capture Phi Dao; The third is to attack the east and the west, speed up the forced landing of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, and then reach a peace agreement with the Ming court.

As the envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, as soon as the accompanying carriage and horses arrived at the Yalu River, news came from the front that the bridges on the Yalu River and the Datong River had all been destroyed by the Korean state, and the attitude of the Korean state could not be clearer, there was no need to negotiate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would come with real swords and real guns if they wanted to cross the river!

Fan Wencheng also did not expect that the determination of the Korean state to resist this time would be so resolute, and he dared to completely turn his face with the Manchus. He hurried to the Yalu River and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

Because on the other side of the Yalu River, the military camp stationed by the river is a black flag fluttering, and it is all black and oppressive as far as the eye can see. Based on Fan Wencheng's experience, this is by no means the army of the Korean State, it is clear that the Xuanjia Army landed in the Korean State and took over the defense of the Yalu River. Moreover, the military camps at the entrance of Dandong and across the Yalu River are densely packed, with at least tens of thousands of people.

Fan Wencheng was frightened when he saw that the Xuanjia Army had landed in Korea in a big way, and he couldn't figure out the specific number of people, so he hurriedly went home and reported the latest changes ahead to Dolgon.

The Korean state directly turned its face and slapped the Manchus in the face alive, and Dolgon was so angry that he was furious, and since a peaceful solution could not be reached, he could only use military conquest.

Before, Dorgon still wanted to wait and see the situation in the pass before deciding whether to enter the pass. Fang Yuan dared to make trouble under his nose, since the Battle of Sarhu, the Manchu Qing had never encountered such a blatant provocation at the moment, and he had to give a resolute counterattack!

With the character of a Dolgon gambler, either don't fight, or play big, since Fang Yuan wants to play, he will play big once!

Dolgon ordered Duoduo and Ao Bai to assemble 40,000 troops from the Eight Banners, 20,000 from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and 20,000 from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, a total of 80,000 troops, to conquer Korea.

The 80,000 people who went on this expedition were already half of the total strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Sending such a powerful military force is to strike a thunderous blow and defeat the Xuanjia army when it is not firmly established. Then the king, the prince, all the sons and daughters of the Korean state, the important minister Song Shilie, and all the ministers who supported the anti-Qing Dynasty, all of them were captured in Shengjing to completely solve the war in the Korean state on the eastern front.

On the other hand, Dolgon personally led his brother Azig, with an army of 40,000 in the Eight Banners, 20,000 in the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and 20,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and sent 80,000 troops to force Shanhaiguan to force Wu Sangui to surrender. If Wu Sangui did not surrender, Dolgon personally detoured to Jizhen to enter the customs and went to Beijing to force Chongzhen to sign the alliance under the city.

Now there are only 80,000 Ming troops of Zhou Kui and 40,000 Guan Ning troops of Wu Sangui in the Gyeonggi area. And how could Zhou Kui's 80,000 Ming army be put in Dorgon's eyes?

This time, if Fang Yuan did not come to the rescue of the capital, Dolgon asked himself that he was ninety percent sure that he could break through the city of Beijing with the power of thunder; If Fang Yuan was saved, he would take advantage of the Xuanjia Army's repeated battles and did not have time to rest and recuperate, and give the Xuanjia Army a head-on blow.

This time, Dolgon sent two large armies, which had never been seen in the history of warfare before the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

There is only one purpose, that is, Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Army! As long as they can defeat Fangyuan's Xuanjia army in the Gyeonggi region, the opportunity for the Manchus to dominate the Central Plains is at hand!
