Chapter 683: Shengjing Situation
But what Qin Rigang didn't expect was that his Yan Kingdom actually had some combat strength in the 20,000 earliest Northern Expedition Taiping Army, and the rest were all swept people, who had not been trained, and they were basically a nest of homeless people, plus they were all weapons such as knives, sticks, iron forks, etc., and their combat power was low, and when he finally captured Haicheng, more than half a month had passed.

When the army marched to Liaoyang again, a piece of news came that made him collapse:
Yixun took Huashantai as the commander of the army, led 40,000 troops, and went straight to Shengjing. Due to the strong troops, Shengjing general Longketuo knew that he was invincible, and immediately became the grass on the wall, turned into a change, betrayed Sushun, and took refuge in Yixin, and as soon as the Huashan Tai army arrived outside Shengjing City, he directly led the troops to open the city gate and welcome the Huashan Taiqing soldiers into the city.
Su Shun knew that the general situation had gone and was ready to commit suicide, but his cronies stopped him, desperately sent him and the little emperor out of the city, and under the escort of the Heilongjiang general Yinglong, he led more than 10,000 troops to rush out of Shengjing and fled to Baidune in Heilongjiang.
The escape of the small court supported by Su Shun, and the entire Shengjing became the world of Yixun. The Jilin general Jingchun and the Shengjing general Longketuo both submitted to the new emperor Yixun, and Yixun officially sat on the throne of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The number of troops has also increased greatly, and the number of troops inside and outside the small Shengjing City has reached nearly 100,000.
A few days later, when Yixun entered Shengjing proudly and comforted the Taimiao, he suddenly heard that the long-haired traitors in Liaodong had not been annihilated, and they also took the initiative to attack Liaoyang. Yixun was furious, and immediately ordered Shengjing's general Long Ketuo to lead 20,000 troops, and together with Shengbao, he led 30,000 Qing soldiers, a total of 50,000 troops to meet the forces of Yan State.
Katsuho had never won a battle in his life, but he didn't expect that this time he would win a big victory.
50,000 Qing soldiers against the Yan soldiers besieging Liaoyang, the lord of Yan will be Qin Riqing, leading the main force of 30,000 Yan soldiers, giving up attacking Liaoyang City, retreating to the reserve battle, unexpectedly, this is only 10,000 veterans of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the other 20,000 are homeless soldiers. These recruits and the displaced people retreated to the south, and they were immediately defeated.
Shengbao was overjoyed, led the cavalry to outflank him, and directly cut off the Yan soldiers who fled with their legs, leaving only Qin Riqing and more than 3,000 Northern Expedition veterans who fled because of horses, and the remaining 25,000 infantry, except for four or five thousand Northern Expedition veterans who broke through the encirclement and were all surrounded and annihilated, the rest fled one after another, but they were all killed halfway, and the remaining 20,000 newly recruited and attached northern Han people surrendered on their knees and rejoined the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
What's the matter, what Shengbao wants is credit. And the Shengjing general Long Ketuo hated these capricious Han minions even more, and he was depressed, so he poured all his anger on these people and directly ordered the massacre. Suddenly, 20,000 Qing cavalry launched a bloody massacre, and these Han refugees who knelt on the ground and surrendered saw that the situation was not good, and fled one after another, but at this time, where was the time?
The Qing soldiers can't fight, but the slaughter of this Shunfeng battle is still very good, and suddenly the blood in the south of Liaoyang City flowed into a river, and 20,000 Yan soldiers who wanted to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were slaughtered tens of thousands, and only a few thousand remained, or because the Qing soldiers were tired of killing, Shengbao took into account that no one took care of the Huangzhuang in the Shengjing area, so he spared their lives and made these captives all the Zhuang slaves of the Huangzhuang.
Qin Riqing led more than 3,000 people who fled directly did not even dare to enter Haicheng, and directly sent someone to inform the town guard to abandon Haicheng and return directly to Gaiping.
Rao was like this, and he was also surrounded by the Qing army the next day.
After this victory in Shengbao, it can be said that he was in high spirits, and after the two of Shengjing's general Longketuo led 50,000 troops to directly divide 5,000 troops to besiege Gaiping, the 45,000 army continued to approach Xiongyue City.
Qin Rigang was shocked, he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation after only one month on the throne, at this time, although there were more than 20,000 troops in Xiongyue City, only 10,000 of them were veterans of the Northern Expedition, and he knew what the situation of the rest of the newly recruited troops was. Therefore, he did not dare to fight hard with the Qing army, nor did he dare to be besieged by the Qing army Xiongyue City, because this Liaodong is a bitter and poor land, and the products are not abundant, once he is trapped for half a year and months, he will starve to death. So, he directly ordered to abandon Xiongyue and retreat to Xiuyan.
At the same time, he summoned Qin Riqing in Gaiping City to lead his troops to break through the siege and go to Xiuyan City. In the rear, thousands of troops in Fuzhou also withdrew to Jinzhou City further south, preparing to take a defensive position and only defend Jinzhou City. He himself led the main force of the Yan State to prepare for the worst plan, marching into the Korean area and maneuvering with the Qing army.
At this time, Qin Rigang looked at Xiong Yue City, which was gradually moving away behind him, and suddenly regretted it. Why do you have to be the emperor, how good it is to be the king of Yan obediently, just like that Shi Dakai, return to the king of the south and serve him as the master. It's just that now, the slogan has been shouted, and the banner of defending the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has also been provoked, and it is not good to change the words, and now it has not reached the point of exhaustion, and his own emperor is still stronger than the prince.
Perhaps, if you go to North Korea earlier and lead these old brothers, you may not be able to lay down a piece of your own sky! Thinking of this, Qin Rigang suddenly stopped being depressed again, and led his troops to the east.
……
Just when Yixun regained his firm occupation of Shengjing, the Chinese Empire also accelerated the pace of his unification of China.
After the law and order in the area of Beijing City and Shuntianfu stabilized, Chen Tianshi led 10,000 captive troops of the Eighth Division of the Eighth Division, directly waved his army north, broke through the Gubeikou Pass in one fell swoop, went out of the Great Wall, entered Chengde Mansion, and occupied Chengde City and Rehe Palace, which had long been evacuated. After the occupation of Chengde Mansion, immediately afterwards, the 8th Division of the First Division attacked from all sides, using the sea route to transport artillery, and easily captured the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was already empty in defense, and moved from the north to the south, and occupied Yongping Mansion and Zunhua Prefecture. Then he went north along the official road out of the customs and besieged Jinzhou City, which was heavily guarded by the Qing Demon.
The Qing soldiers were completely afraid of the captive army, and they were almost defeated as soon as they made contact with the battle, the banner soldiers abandoned the city and fled the gate, and the Han soldiers surrendered on their knees, and those Han flag soldiers even cut off the rattail pigtails on the back of their heads, and claimed that they were Han people, and were forced to be slaves by the evil Manchu banner people, and now they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. Although Chen Tianshi was a little ashamed of these Han Banner soldiers, he still said that he would allow surrender, quickly pacify all places, and completely occupy the entire Zhili area. And, according to the order of the Imperial General Staff, the 8th Division of the First Division rested in Jinzhou, waiting for more captive troops to go north, and prepared to march to Shengjing together.
