In 1644, the twenty-fourth year of the Apocalypse, in this year in history, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, followed by the Qing army entering the customs, and the Qing ancestor Fu was in Beijing, and countless Han people were slaughtered.

And in this time and space, the first day of the year is the death period of Dolgon, Dolgon was executed by Zhu Youxiao Lingchi, and the rest of the cadres were all beheaded, and there were more than 1,000 people who were beheaded by Zhu Youxiao on this day, from morning to evening, the entire Xishi was full of blood, and the corpses were piled up.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you've been standing here for half an hour, go in and rest." Zhang Yan helped Zhu Youxiao put on a coat.

"Is the execution done outside?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It's unitary time, and everyone but Dorgon should have finished their executions." Wang Liqian replied.

"Go and see, after the execution, the corpses are gathered and burned, and after all the heads are disposed of, they are sent to the ancestors to be worshipped." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Wang Liqian said.

"Go to the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

Back at the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Yan asked: "Your Majesty, at first, the concubine didn't understand why the emperor chose to kill on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but now it seems that the emperor is sacrificing something?" ”

In fact, not only Zhang Yan, but all the people in the empire don't understand why Zhu Youxiao chose to kill on the first day of the Lunar New Year, for this matter, many ministers in the court have asked Zhu Youxiao to change the time, after all, it is unlucky to kill on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on going his own way, and he must behead 1,644 Manchu captives on this day.

"Sacrifice what?" Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Let's pay tribute to a piece of history." ”

"What history?" Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"A piece of history in my head." Zhu Youxiao said.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Yan felt a little speechless. And Zhu Youxiao did not continue to explain, and this matter was not explained clearly.

……

In March, Yao Yuanjun led an army of 30,000 to besiege the residence of Zangba Khan in Shigatse. On March 17, Yao Yuan's army broke through the residence of Zangba Khan and captured Zangba Khan alive. At this point, Tibet was completely unified by the Ming Dynasty.

"Admiral Yao, I request that Zangba Khan be handed over to me." Sonam Qunpei said.

"Yes, I wonder what you are going to do with Zangba Khan?" Yao Yuanjun asked.

"Zangba Khan once banned the Dalai Lama's title, and I am going to sew it into a raw cowhide and throw it into the river to drown." Sonam Qunpei said frankly.

"Your Majesty once said that after seizing the palace of Zangba Khan, the palace will be demolished, and its timber will be transported to Lhasa to rebuild the Potala Palace and expand the Jokhang Temple. Yao Yuanjun said.

"This is a good thing that I can't ask for, I don't need the general to speak, and we should fully cooperate." Sonam Qunpei said happily.

……

In May, Man Gui led another 30,000 troops out to defend Qingcheng and directly took the three remaining tribes in Siberia. Yu Shiwei led an army of 5,000 and took Shiversk directly.

Since Dolgon's departure, there are still nearly 300,000 people left in the three divisions of Siberia. In order to escape the bitter cold, these 300,000 people, led by Nie Kesai, tried to move south several times in winter, but were blocked by the Ming army standing here in the wooden city. Nexus had to lead the 300,000 men westward, all the way to the vicinity of the Kolyma River. Of these 300,000 people, less than 200,000 remained, and more than 100,000 froze to death in Siberia.

On 21 May, an army of 30,000 led by Man Gui and an army of 50,000 led by Nexus met in the upper reaches of the Kolyma River. And Nexus's army of 50,000 was mixed with more than 100 Russian Cossack soldiers. In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Ming army, the Russians, who had pioneered in Siberia, formed an alliance with Nyxei.

At two o'clock, the 5,000 left-wing infantry led by Xiong Anwen took the lead in entering the battlefield. Last year, Xiong Anwen was ambushed by Dolgon and was seriously injured, and after his injuries were healed, this year's Northern Expedition, Xiong Anwen took the initiative to ask to participate in the war, just to avenge last year's arrow.

The left flank led by Xiong Anwen faced 10,000 cavalry on the right flank of the enemy. Although Xiong Anwen led the infantry, but the five thousand left wing infantry were all equipped with apocalypse guns, and the cavalry combat power on the enemy's side had a great decline compared with last year, in the Siberian winter, people and animals froze to death countless times, the quality of the war horses can be imagined, and most of the most elite parts of the three were sent to the Americas by Dolgon.

Although it was infantry against cavalry, Xiong Anwen put on an offensive formation at the beginning, and he took the initiative to attack.

As soon as Xiong Anwen entered the battlefield, the 15,000 Chinese army led by Man Gui also entered the battlefield, and the Chinese army faced an army of 30,000 led by Nie Kesai, of which more than 100 Cossack soldiers were also arranged in the Chinese army. Although the Russians are also fully equipped with firearms, they are very different from the Ming army in terms of quality, quantity, and training.

On the right flank of the Ming army was an army of 10,000 led by Hei Yunlong, who entered the battlefield last.

On the surface, the 50,000-strong army led by Nie Kesai seemed to have an advantage in numbers, but in fact, the Ming army had an absolute advantage, and the Ming army had an overwhelming advantage in terms of morale, weapons, and army quality.

Although Xiong Anwen took the lead in attacking the enemy, it was the enemy's Chinese army that collapsed first, and the Russians obviously did not expect that the Ming army's firearms would be so sharp, so that they were in a passive situation from the beginning. The Russians only carried a total of three artillery pieces, counting the Nexai artillery, a total of only ten, while the Ming army had hundreds of large and small artillery, although most of them were light artillery, but there were still more medium and heavy artillery than the enemy combined.

The Russians fled, they only lasted half an hour, and unlike the people of the three divisions, they did not have the determination to fight to the death, and if the situation was not right, they would immediately slip away. The consequences of the flight of more than 100 Russians were severe, and it threw Nexey's Chinese army into disarray.

"Dragoon charge!" Although Man Gui did not know what was happening on the other side, the confusion of the enemy army made Man Gui realize that this was a rare opportunity, and he did not hesitate to order the dragoons to attack.

The charge of the dragoons made the confusion of the enemy's army even more serious, and at this moment, among the soldiers of the three divisions, some wanted to escape, some wanted to resist desperately, and some even waited and watched. But soon there were deserters among the soldiers of the original Sauron Division, and if the initial escape of the Russians only caused confusion in the enemy army, the flight of the soldiers of the Sauron Division caused the complete collapse of the enemy army.
