At the beginning of September, Cao Wenzhao led 30,000 Ming troops to gallop to the road of King Qin in the starry night.

Li Zicheng took advantage of the situation to fight out of the mountains.

Lu Xiangsheng fought hard to kill the enemy, but the soldiers were not enough, and the anti-army defeated the Ming army and went north.

On the 13th, Li Zicheng converged with the "mixed 100,000" and "Cao ***** collapsed" in Henan, and the three of them publicly promoted Li Zicheng as the king and revived the prestige of the king.

The same thing happened in Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu was the king of Qin for the second time, and led the white pole army to the north.

Zhang Xianzhong had no strong opponents, and began to go out of the mountains, attacking cities and plundering land, and in just half a month, he captured most of Sichuan.

Sichuan had just quelled the rebellion of Tusi a few years ago, and now when he heard that Zhang Xianzhong led the people to rebel against the Ming, the rebellious Tusi tribes joined them one after another.

Sichuan almost became a base controlled by Zhang Xianzhong alone.

Only Shaanxi Hong Chengchou, ignoring the emperor's order, fought several battles with Wang Jiayin.

Wang Jiayin was defeated three times in a row and retreated to the hinterland of Henan.

After all, most of the new troops under Hong Chengchou are recruits, and although they want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, they have no spare strength.

Waiting for Wang Jiayin to break his muscles and bones, Hong Chengchou sent a general to lead his troops through Henan and go north to the Beijing Division to rescue.

In mid-September, Huang Taiji attacked Zunhua again.

Zunhua City hoarded heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Taiji attacked to no avail, abandoned Zunhua City, and plundered along the perimeter of the city.

At this time, it was already clear that Huang Taiji was intending.

Circling the Beijing division without attacking, turn to Zunhua.

This is Huang Taiji is in a hurry to return home.

Because in the second year of Chongzhen, the Huang Taiji soldiers besieged the Beijing Division, which was the pass from the Xifeng Pass in the north of Zunhua.

This time, Huang Taiji intends to repeat the old trick.

Huang Taiji and Tang Xidong didn't know that they were only separated by a border pass at this time.

One on the inside and one on the outside.

Huang Taiji didn't know that Tang Xidong led his army into the grassland to attack Liaodong, and the reason why he wanted to attack Zunhua was to leave a good back road for himself first.

To prevent the Ming army from encircling and blocking, he had nowhere to get out.

But Huang Taiji obviously took it for granted.

In the second year of Chongzhen, he entered the customs from Xifengkou and besieged the Beijing Division, but he really frightened Emperor Chongzhen.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, how can Chongzhen not defend the weakness of Xifengkou with heavy troops?

Huang Taiji this time, he ate a cold steamed bun and choked in a panic.

Attacking Zunhua, the Ming army defended to the death, had no choice but to retreat, turned to Xifengkou, the border pass was heavily defended, and the border pass was re-strengthened.

Huang Taiji couldn't imagine that he was really trapped and died in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's road, the only way is to re-take Datong Town and exit from the place where you enter the customs.

Looking to the south, there is the Jingshi, and turning to the north is the way back.

Huang Taiji hesitated.

Do you want to grab it for a while before you get out of the customs?

Scare and scare Emperor Chongzhen, don't let the other party underestimate himself because of the loss of troops in Shanxi this time?

Regardless of the reason, Huang Taiji did not make the decision to immediately go north and exit from Datong Town.

He began to whip again and began to move south, and this time, his target was determined to be the capital of Daming.

The place where Emperor Chongzhen was restless.

In a thought, Huang Taiji and Tang Xidong passed by.

In a flash, Huang Taiji chose to fight with the Ming Dynasty Army again.

End of September.

Tang Xidong stood on the west bank of the Xiliao River.

It is less than 300 miles away from the Shengjing Shenyang City of Houjin.

This time, Tangxi Dongtho completely stood on the border of Liaodong, which is the country of the Later Jin, but it is also the place of the Han people.

Looking to the east, the sun struggles to climb upwards in the early morning.

"My lord, crossing the Liao River is the territory of the Jurchens, and we should not entrench here."

Zhang Xiahai glanced around, a little uneasy.

"Xia Hai, do you know where the Jurchens made their fortune?"

Zhang Xiahai was stunned for a moment: "Naturally, it's in Hetuala!" ”

Then he added: "The battle of Salhu that year was because the Ming army wanted to break Hetuara in one fell swoop, but did not want to be defeated in Salhu, and the elite of the Ming Dynasty was lost, and the prestige of the monarch was sluggish from then on." ”

Tang Xidong nodded, turned to stare at Zhang Xiahai: "Attack Shenyang, are you sure?" ”

Zhang Xiahai shook his head and then nodded: "I'm not sure, after all, it is a critical place where the Jurchens are heavily defended, but with the adults, the end will be sure." ”

After Tang Xidong was silent, he said again: "What if I'm not there? ”

Zhang Xiahai opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

"I want to go to Hetuara to see, is it really the land of Jurchen dragons?"

"Adults, don't! Hetu Ara is deep into the heart of the Jurchens, it is easy to enter, but it is difficult to come out. Back then, hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers buried their bodies in that place, how can I go to Hetuara with 50,000 horses now? Zhang Xiahai was shocked and whispered to dissuade.

Tang Xidong let out a long breath and looked at the sky, the sun finally rose.

The sunrise in the east is indeed more beautiful than Shanxi.

"Not 50,000, but 10,000."

Tang Xidong said in a low voice, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc.

turned around, with a cold expression on his face: "Zhang Xiahai listens to the order, and he can lead 40,000 troops into Shenyang, and within seven days, he will break through Shenyang City." ”

Zhang Xiahai subconsciously knelt on one knee, and then looked up to get up.

was held down by Tang Xidong.

"Xia Hai, you remember, this attack on Shenyang, there are only seven days, as soon as the time comes, if the city is not broken, take everyone out of Liao and return to Shanxi, you must not delay."

"My lord, Hetuara can't go!"

Zhang Xiahai advised again.

Tang Xidong shook his head and motioned him not to say any more: "Don't worry, go back to Shanxi, and wait for my news with peace of mind." ”

This day is noon.

The wind blows the water of the Liao River, and tens of thousands of heads are taken every day.

An army of 50,000 crossed the Liao River and reached the east bank.

This is the border of Houjin.

The storm that will come can be expected, but do you have a choice but to move forward?

Fall back?

They were already standing in Liaodi, and retreating was more humiliating than defeat.

The army began to move on.

Hundreds of scouts were sent out by the detachment to reconnoiter around.

At the moment when the army set off.

Tang Xidong took 6,000 cavalry, 3,000 firearms and 1,000 baggage troops, and began to divide his troops to the east, where Hetuala, the place where Nurhachi was born and where the Jurchens arose.

Tang Xidong hopes to be able to see it with his own eyes and destroy it with his own hands.

And Zhang Xiahai took 40,000 people and began to the southeast, where Shenyang was, the center of Shengjing of Houjin, and the place where Houjin could feel pain.

End of September.

Li Zicheng became the king, inherited his uncle's legacy, regrouped, and gathered the anti-army forces of Cao Cao, mixed 100,000, and shot the sky.

It began to move eastward, from Henan into Nanjing.

This time, Li Zicheng's target was Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is Fengyang, where Zhu Yuanzhang was born.

It is where the dragon vein of Daming is located, and it is the source of the prosperity of Daming.

Li Zicheng's purpose this time is very clear, that is, to break through Fengyang City, dig the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family, and destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial tomb.

Let Emperor Chongzhen feel the pain of his skin and make him a sinner of the Ming royal family of the Zhu family.

everything, just to avenge his uncle Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang is dead, but Li Zicheng is alive, and he inherited the name of King Chuang, so he has to sing a big drama of loyalty.

Otherwise, how to convince the public?
