Chapter 467: Manchurian Encirclement

When the news reached Shengjing, the regent Dolgon was discussing with Hong Chengchou in his own mansion, and what he was discussing was whether he could use any means to weaken Shandong even more.

However, when the two sides discussed, they found that although Hong Chengchou was in a high position and was the governor of Jiliao, he didn't know much about Shandong on his side.

All he knew was Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Liu Yuanbin, the eunuch of the Beijing camp who was currently guarding in Beijing, and Qiu Lei and Liu Zeqing also had some impressions in the past, but this Li Meng, the Duke of Qi, was very unfamiliar.

The Ming Dynasty is a civilian leader, and the civilian officials have party disputes, even if a civilian governor leads the army to victory, smooth sailing, but his victory will always be found out by the political enemies of the court and the central government, and then attacked in many ways, and finally he was either convicted or recalled.

As soon as the leader went, the army he led was of course scattered and useless, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had also encountered the Ming civil officials or military generals who made them anxious, but in the end, it was the Ming Dynasty that destroyed the Great Wall and ruined the good situation.

But this Li Meng has always been steady, and he was able to deal with the means of the Ming civil officials in the past, but he had no way to deal with such self-contained generals.

After a little analysis, you can understand that the purpose of this Duke of Qi is also the world of the Ming Dynasty, which is like-minded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the two sides are competing for the same piece of meat, and it is naturally the one who is strong, since it is already an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong and this Duke of Qi are not afraid of what means the Manchus will use, even if they use any means, Shandong does not care, anyway, they have torn their faces with the Ming Dynasty. I don't care if I have a little more means to come.

Hong Chengchou, who was regarded as a strategist and guest secretary by Dolgon, was quite curious about this Li Meng, and he still didn't know why such a force suddenly appeared in Shandong.

But on the surface, he can't show this curiosity, he can only express his opinion lightly, after all, he is a subordinate, and many things must be avoided.

The regent Dolgon was not curious, but full of sorrow, after becoming this regent. There are many more troubles encountered than when they were in the past when they were the land of Prince Rui, the yang and yin of the flags below, the unification of all forces, and the troubles of Korea.

If you want to be stable in this position, or go further, you must have brilliant feats and enough benefits for the forces below.

Although the grasslands are vast, they are unusually barren. No one thinks that there will be any benefit in this, Baishan and Heishui are the bitter cold places where the old forest started, if everyone is willing to stay, why did the old Khan have to raise troops against the Ming back then, and the same is true for North Korea. Small place, poor place.

Up and down the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the eyes of the big guys were staring at the Ming Dynasty in the south, where the rich population and fields were warm. It's a standard fancy world, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is so weak, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent troops several times, except for the one time in Abatai, they were all invincible, and they plundered a large number of people and gold and silver back.

If Dolgon wants to sit firmly in this position, and if he wants to go further, the only way out is to use troops against the Ming. And we must continue to win until we have won the world.

Only by giving the Ming Dynasty's piece of flowers to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he Dolgon can be regarded as a qualified leader, in order to sit in this position or go further, for this goal, the regent Dolgon has not thought it is too difficult, they are Manchu relatives and nobles, and their understanding of the Ming Dynasty is not inferior to that of Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing. The soldiers and horses of Liaozhen, who are known as the strongest, were all defeated and retreated under the attack of the warriors of the Eight Banners. After entering the customs, the rest of the Daming straw bales are not a problem.

Even during the reign of Huang Taiji. Dolgon also had such considerations, and the idea at that time was that the two difficult problems of capturing the Great Tomorrow and commanding the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were much easier.

Almost suddenly, a military general appeared in Shandong quietly, this military general first annihilated his own 500 people in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and then annihilated 40,000 people led by Abatai in Hejian Fu, not to mention the land of Shandong, close to the Ming Dynasty in the north of Zhili, if the army goes out of the pass to the south, it will soon meet with Shandong soldiers and horses.

It is not a big problem to have such a decisive battle, but the Manchu Qing still has no specific concept of Shandong, and they know very well how many soldiers and horses the other side has.

The Regent's Mansion, if you walk in the palace, you will even think that this is in the famous garden of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, the layout of the pavilions and water pavilions are very ingenious, under a closer look, you can find several famous masters in the south of the Ming Dynasty, when Prince Rui Dolgon was in the house, the favorite thing is to sit in the pavilion and drink, enjoy the scenery in the garden, leisurely.

Now it's early summer, the scenery in the garden is the most beautiful time, but Dolgon doesn't have the slightest mood to see, this Hong Chengchou is indeed a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, since he was summoned into the mansion as a guest secretary, Dolgon feels that he has a clearer grasp of the movement of the rest of the flags and the general trend of the world than before.

The response to all parties can also be more calm and measured, if it is placed in the past, I am afraid that the flags will have to pull people out to contradict each other, Hong Chengchou will give him a point or two, and he can solve it with relatively tactful and ingenious means.

Sure enough, it is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and he is really talented and learned, which is amazing......

When Dolgon's mother was forced by Huang Taiji and Dai Shan to give Nurhachi a funeral, the two white flags were eyed by people, and there was a disaster of killing and confinement at any time.

But compared with Hong Chengchou, I knew that there was a difference between high and low, there were too many differences, in fact, there was a rumor in the two white flags, saying that it was the reason why Dolgon would sit in the position of regent, which also included Hong Chengchou's suggestions.

Therefore, Dolgon also relied on Hong Chengchou very much, thinking that this was his own think tank and military advisor, but such a talented and wise man could not do anything about Li Meng in Shandong.

Dolgon was quite suspicious, and at the beginning, he thought that Hong Chengchou was looking at his homeland and didn't want to explain these things too clearly. can think about the things that Hong Chengchou did when he came to his house, and he dispelled this idea.

"Mr. Hong, what is the position of Prince Xu Na Li Meng, if he can surrender and take refuge, this king will ensure that the population of the soldiers under his command will not move, and his status is equivalent to that of the Eight Banners of our nation......"

Speaking of this, Dorgon himself shook his head and whispered:

"That's it. The rest of the flags will definitely not agree, I am afraid that the king's letter has not yet arrived in Shandong, and this side will be on fire and rise......"

Hong Chengchou listened to Dolgon's somewhat confused words, and felt a little disdainful in his heart, but began to follow:

"Lord Wang, how many soldiers and soldiers there are in Shandong, we don't have a definite number here, if it is 45,000 soldiers and horses. It is not impossible to choose the elite of his own soldiers to imitate the example of King Sanshun, and give him a princely position, but the 40,000 loyal martyrs led by the general Abatai were all martyred in the Daming River, and to be able to fight such a battle, according to the previous rules. How many soldiers and horses does the Ming have to mobilize to be able to, not to mention that Li Meng supports the troops like this, will he take the initiative to take refuge, even if he takes refuge. It's also a big tail. ”

At present, among the various forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han military banner thinks that it is a banner man, and his eyes are facing the sky, and the soldiers and horses of the Sanshun King and the Duke of Xu Shun call themselves system, and they will not accept Hong Chengchou at all, Hong Chengchou wants to continue his glory and wealth in the Manchu Dynasty, and he is instinctively resistant to having another Han general with real power come in. Moreover, at present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not offer suitable conditions in exchange for Li Meng's allegiance, and he was even more likely to contradict it.

Of course, Hong Chengchou has other thoughts in his mind, which is not known to outsiders, looking at Dolgon staring at his eyes, Hong Chengchou felt a pang in his heart, these people in front of him are barbarians. But these people are not stupid. If you make the other party suspicious, your fate will definitely be miserable.

Hong Chengchou groaned slightly. He had a belly case, and said slowly:

"The villain has an idea, don't blame the prince, instead of giving Li Meng a prince position in Shandong, it is better to give this position to Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the Ningyuan regiment training in western Liaoning, he has a population of more than 200,000 people, and there are nearly 70,000 soldiers, and in the past two years, it has been faintly the position of the head general of Jiliao, and it has been given to him, and the general soldier of Shanhaiguan is ...... over there."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "dangdang" in the front yard, Hong Chengchou also lived in the regent palace for a while, and naturally understood the meaning of this sound, this is an important military report, before entering the door, the housekeeper or the porter should knock on the cloud board to report.

Hearing the sound of "bang", the door made a sound as if it had been slammed open, and the soldiers who had been guarding around the pavilion drew their swords one after another and rushed over.

No matter how important the military report is, the envoys who came to the Regent's Mansion to report are all cautious, but today they are so unruly, Dolgon originally felt his eyes light up after hearing Hong Chengchou's suggestion, but after hearing the movement outside, his face suddenly sank.

However, the messenger who had sent the message soon ran into the courtyard, and when he heard several answers from outside, the messenger knelt down outside the door with a plop of sound, and said in a breathless manner:

"Lord Wang!! Guangning Houtun Wei Zhenghongqi Atamu 600 miles urgent, Guangning Houtun Wei 120 miles west of Xingzhong, there are 50,000 troops stationed in Tumut Division, eyeing Liaozhong in danger!! ”

What the previous messenger said made Dolgon a little confused, but the next few words made Dolgon stand up from his seat suddenly, push open the door and ask viciously:

"Tumut is on the Shanxi side, where is Harashen, where is Horqin!?"

"When we went back to the prince's land, we all interrogated the Mongolian herdsmen who fled in, saying that in the past two months, the Khalashin and Korqin tribes have been scattered by the beasts of Tumut, and Tushetu Khan has also ...... He was also poisoned by the thieves of Tumert......"

Tushetu Khan was Dolgon's father-in-law, the father of Concubine Zhuang, and the most loyal Mongol ally of the Jurchens in the steppe, when he suddenly heard the news of his death, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day that exploded in Dolgon's ears, and he couldn't react to the half-ring, Dolgon took a few breaths, walked down the steps quickly, and kicked over the messenger who was kneeling there crying and retribution, but he didn't know what to say next.

Dolgon shook his head before continuing to ask, but not noticing that his voice was already hoarse, and asked in a hissing voice:

"50,000 cavalry, how can the Tumut Department get together these soldiers and horses, don't be a slave who has suffered a loss by fighting grass and valley on the grassland, and making up these words to deceive ......"

That's not all there is to say yet. The messenger below was already kowtowing there without hesitation, and blood immediately oozed from his forehead, and he said there with a cry:

"Lord Wang, Chahar's Ezhe has taken advantage of the chaos to run to Tumut's side, Chahar Dutong Aola's Lord has been killed in battle, and more than 10,000 cavalry from Tumer have already arrived at Dakangbao, this is all seen by the people and horses of Liaozhong, and everything the slave said is the truth!!"

Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the pavilion, had already stood up. Listening to the report of the messenger outside the door, Dolgon's eyes twitched a few times when he heard these words, but his face was as usual.

The regent Dolgon took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't calm down, pacing back and forth at the door of the pavilion, and said in his mouth:

"What's going on, what's going on. How could the Tumut Department have the courage to attack our Qing Dynasty......"

Dorgon took a few steps before he slapped his forehead with his hand, and stood there shouting at him:

"Rabbit cubs, what are you still doing there, go and ask Prince Li and Prince Su to come over. Go and ask Mr. Fan from the Inner Literature Academy to come over!! ”

Dolgon didn't go back to the pavilion, just took off his robe and walked directly towards his main hall, and he didn't have the usual demeanor of a corporal of courtesy, so he didn't pay attention to Hong Chengchou who was standing there at all.

North Korea's Seoul side is just a nuisance. After all, there is still some distance from the border, and the Tumut Department that suddenly appeared on the flank is a direct threat to the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the little prince of Chahar, who symbolizes the legal system of the steppe, also fled.

No matter what is done, the opening in Liaozhong must be blocked. There are countless ports that can be entered on the border of Liao and the grassland, which requires defense, and this kind of thing cannot just rely on the two white flags to plug the leaks everywhere, the 24 banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han, as well as all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, must be mobilized.

The courtyard, which was still noisy just now, suddenly quieted down, and only Hong Chengchou was left standing in the pavilion. Look at no one around. Hong Chengchou walked down the steps and raised his head to the sky. Slowly exhaled a long breath, and muttered:

"What a hero, what a talent, there are such characters in Huaxia, there are such characters!"

When he lowered his head, Hong Chengchou's originally tall and straight figure suddenly became extremely stiff, as if he had aged dozens of years, and when he stepped down from the pavilion, Hong Chengchou's steps were a little staggering.

Seoul in Korea was suddenly guarded by thousands of soldiers and horses from the Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry appeared in the grasslands of Liaozhong, and there must have been some connection between them.

Thousands of Ming troops holding on to Seoul, or tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry threatening the hinterland of the Manchus, with the limited strength of the Manchus, no matter where they are, they need to use enough strength to calm down, and at the same time appear from both sides, if the Manchus want to deal with it, they will be very embarrassed.

What's more, since Nurhachi raised his army, whether it was the Later Jin or the Manchu Qing, they had been on the offensive externally, and in the situation of successive victories, they basically did not pay much attention to the defense of the inner line.

Prince Zheng Jierharang led the banner to go to the area of Salawei and Huerhai (now west of Heilongjiang) to capture the birth of the girl Zhen and did not return, the British prince Azig and the red flag Belle Kedehun guarded in the Liaoyang area, and at present the only people in the city who are qualified to discuss matters are the prince of Li Daishan and the prince of Su Haoge.

This Prince Haoge, who is in charge of the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Flag, has been neglected by everyone for a period of time, anyway, if there are two yellow flags, Dolgon is directly looking for the little emperor of Shunzhi to issue an edict, or Concubine Zhuang to pass the level of this Prince of Su Haoge and set him up.

The news that can come from Liaozhong is really incredible, but it is a real thing, and Dolgon must call all the people in the city who can be in charge of the matter, and come up with an idea together.

Prince Li Daishan was the most virtuous and respected figure in the Huang Taiji era, and even the Emperor Huang Taiji had to be treated politely, but now that Dolgon is in power, the only thing the two red flags can do is to protect themselves, and Dai Shan's esteemed status is naturally much worse than before.

When he was called today, Dai Shan was even more angry, thinking that I am almost twenty years older than you Dolgon, and both of us are both princes. It's just like the next person, and it comes as soon as it is recruited. This anger was only dissipated a little after seeing Prince Hauge of Su who came in a hurry, but it also added a little doubt about what was going on.

Although Emperor Shunzhi is here, several princes don't care about his existence, and now everything is proposed by the regent, and the princes have the same opinion, and then report it to be implemented.

Waiting until Dolgon, whose face was gloomy, told him about the urgency of the situation. Dai Shan and Haute looked at each other, and then they were shocked, at present, Duoduo is leading 30,000 soldiers to deal with 50,000 Mongolian cavalry sweeping the steppe, and at least 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers must be mobilized here.

But now that Zierharang is in the old forest, there are still soldiers and horses staring at the Ming army on the side of the Liaoxi Corridor, and the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty can mobilize so many soldiers and horses. Let alone. At this time, many people are still fishing, hunting, and producing, and if these people are sent out to fight, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to survive this winter.

If you don't do it, this damn Tumut soldier will drive straight from the grassland. At that point, the whole situation will collapse...... Dai Shan even remembered that when Nurhachi first raised his army, the troops of the Horqin Department had gone to the ground of Jianzhou Jurchen to loot on a large scale, and the old Khan's response at that time was to forbear, and he begged for mercy in a low voice. This is the way it has passed, is this going to happen again?

The original contradictions of the nobles of the banners, in the face of such a great enemy, were all thrown aside and began to plan together how to deal with them.

On weekdays, these people are in charge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's national affairs, but at this time, the discussion is quite anxious, and they can't take out so many soldiers and horses to block it. If there is a full mobilization, I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain itself in the second year.

The only thing that can be decided is to transfer the British princes Azig and Le Ke Dehun back, go to Liaozhong Guangning Houtun Wei and Guangning Wei to lead troops to defend it, and at the same time send an urgent letter to the Zheng Prince Le Ke Dehun in the north, asking him to lead the troops back, otherwise the situation will not be maintained.

When Wang Duoduo of Yujun went to Seoul in North Korea, he used to transfer Dingkou in the border areas of southern and eastern Liaodong with North Korea. and looted Hermes-Epitek's supplies. Nowadays, there are also beacons everywhere, and the Han people in the villages are in turmoil from time to time. The magistrate issued urgent paperwork every day.

There are no troops and horses to suppress it over there, Dai Shan put his hands in his sleeves, and Hauge supported his forehead with his hands, his face was not good-looking, but he couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, everyone thought of a sentence, and the words of the Han people described it really appropriately, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, maybe that's it.

Standing in the main hall, the regent Dolgon walked around, and he didn't know where to take out his troops, although the situation in the past two years had eased somewhat, but the economic situation was not so good, according to the previous practice, Abatai led the army into the customs to plunder, and would bring back a large number of materials and people.

With these as a supplement, the Manchus were able to survive this difficult time, but now it was the other way around, but fortunately, Dolgon contracted everywhere according to Huang Taiji's dying orders, which barely survived.

Now that there was a need for troops everywhere, Dolgon did not dare to mobilize the soldiers, for fear that if he damaged the farmer, the whole situation would collapse in the next year, and Dolgon's image of calmness and wisdom was all thrown aside, and he walked up and down the main hall, and said anxiously:

"The siege is too expensive, Duoduo tossed for so long and there is no result, let him and Aobai withdraw from the side of Hancheng, guard the Phoenix City of Dingliao and the side of Yiju in North Korea, guard the side of Liaodong in southern Liaoning, and lead the soldiers with yellow flags back to Shengjing and maneuver here. “

Dolgon said his arrangement in a low voice, a pen with a white flag was rapidly recorded there, and from time to time he looked up at the two princes on both sides, if Daishan and Hauge disagreed, then Dolgon's words could not form an order, but the two princes were silent.

After a while, Prince Su Haoge said:

"Let Duoduo and Aobai catch more Korean people back, it's finally a supplement, if it's really a last resort, the men are mobilized to fight, and there must be people who work......"

Hearing Hauge say this, Dolgon remembered what Fang just said, Hong Chengchou's opinion on Wu Sangui, if such a force is recruited, it will be a great supplement, but in this situation, is it necessary for the Liao Zhen soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to surrender?

The Regent Dolgon coughed twice and said in a deep voice:

"This king has a way, the chief soldier of the Ming Kingdom, Wu Sangui, has a large number of soldiers and horses. It's been ...... again."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he heard screams and cries in the house outside, the situation was so broken, but these bastard minions were still so uneasy, Daishan and Hauge both turned their attention to the direction of screaming, I don't know what happened, Dolgon's face was already darkened, and he was on the verge of exploding.

There was silence in the room for a while. I could hear some commotion outside, and Dorgon was about to shout at his own soldiers, but the butler in the palace stumbled in.

When the door was pushed open, the butler knelt down with his head bowed, and said with some trepidation:

"Master, master, Mr. Hong hanged himself in his own residence!"

It was less than two hours before the two sides negotiated in the pavilion. Hong Chengchou still looked as usual just now, why did he suddenly hang himself, the three people in the house all looked at each other, what kind of ability Hong Chengchou had, Dai Shan and Hao Ge didn't know. However, Huang Taiji attached great importance to it back then, which shows the importance of this person.

And Dolgon knows the ability of this former governor of the Ming Dynasty, such a character is really like the talent of the Manchu prime minister, and he will definitely be of great use in the future. Death is death.

But that's it, for Dolgon, it's just a death of a strategist, for Daishan and Hauge, it's just the death of an insignificant Han man, Dolgon waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Dead is dead, get it out and bury it, come here and make noise!"

Before his death, Hong Chengchou felt that he was quite valued by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Glory and wealth are not a problem, presumably did not expect today's situation, the Jurchens look at the Han people, that is, they look at slaves, cattle and horses, and they do not intersect equally.

At this time, the butler kneeling over there held up a piece of paper and opened his mouth to report:

"This is a piece of paper that I saw at Mr. Hong's residence, and it may have been written before he died. Please take a look at it. ”

Dolgon nodded at the pen on the side. The white-flag clerk took the piece of paper a few steps forward and glanced at it a few times. Loud recitation:

"I regret dying late for three years, and I hate and humiliate for thousands of years......"

No matter how much Dolgon, Daishan, and Haoge came into contact with the culture of the Han family, they would not understand some details, and as for the detailed meaning, this pen paste style would not say much, so as not to be affected by the pond fish on this inappropriate occasion.

Suddenly, Dolgon's heart was inexplicably irritable, and he waved at the butler and the pen sticker, telling them to step down, the butler of the Regent's Mansion thought that Mr. Hong, who had given confidential information to the prince every day, was such an important person, and he suddenly committed suicide, if he did not report it in time, it would be a great disaster.

But in any case, I didn't expect that it would be such a situation, and several princes were simply indifferent, and I still remember that a Haidongqing raised by the prince died that day, and the prince didn't have a smile for several days......

The housekeeper pondered and retreated, thinking that thanks to his lack of words, when he untied Mr. Hong from the rope sleeve, this gentleman still had a helpless wry smile on his face, quite weird, and he didn't know what he was thinking, if he didn't enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal mansion, what would he die.

As early as two years ago, the Ming Dynasty set up a special sacrifice to summon the soul, and a special sacrifice to Hong Liaoyang's death, until now no one in the Ming Dynasty knows that Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and now Hong Chengchou's death will not stir up any waves in the upper echelons of the Manchu Dynasty, but a broken literati who surrendered can't think about it.

On the same day, Hong Chengchou was captured, and Huang Taiji took him to Shenyang Shengjing and surrendered with all his might, but Hong Chengchou read and wrote every day without saying a word.

After Huang Taiji exhausted his patience, he was ready to kill, Fan Wencheng went to the house where Hong Chengchou lived to peep, and found that there was a roof bird's nest mud spots on his clothes, Hong Chengchou wiped it desperately there, and Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji, who saw this, reported and said:

"This Hong Chengchou may not have the temperament to die and martyr the country, even if his clothes are dirty, he loves them so much, let alone his own life?"

Huang Taiji stopped the murderous intention, and finally surrendered Hong Chengchou, during this period, what else was the concubine Zhuang dedicated to Hong Chengchou, and the paragraph of his surrender was true or false, it was not enough for outsiders, in the history of Li Meng, Hong Chengchou was the main commander of the southern strategy after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, dispatched all kinds of soldiers and horses, and cleaned up the remaining various forces, and made great contributions to the Manchu Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou is indeed a greedy person who is afraid of death, but when he was captured that day, it was a time of despair, Hong Chengchou did not commit suicide, but he had been living in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than two years, but Hong Chengchou suddenly committed suicide today, which is really a strange phenomenon...... Perhaps, this is not surprising.

The Manchu soldiers and horses against the Mongol tribes on the steppe, the record of victory is even more brilliant than the victory of the Ming Dynasty, although the Zhenghongqi Dutong Atamu stationed in the rear guard of Guangning knows that he is cautious, but he is still ready to try the other party's jin two, if the Tumut cavalry on the steppe is bluffing, then completely defeat him.

Every few days, thousands of cavalry came to Dakang Fort and Wanfoguan to show off their might, swaggering, and then swaggering, not fast.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Atamu, the commander of the Red Banner, led more than 4,000 Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, preparing to intercept the Mongol cavalry on the steppe......

In Jinan on July 12, it was already quite hot, and in the inner hall of the Qi State Mansion, Yuan Wenhong, the chief bookkeeper, was reading to Li Meng with proclamations from everywhere, and Sun Chuanting, who was wearing an iron mask, was sitting on the side.

"General Xiao Wang left 500 soldiers and horses in Seoul to defend it, and led the Korean garrison army to begin to move north, and the Tatar Duoduo Department had retreated to the north of Kaesong, and the Korean garrison decided to set up camp in the area of Yanchuan and Dingju in North Korea to collect the fleeing Han people in Liaodong and Liaonan. ”

"General Zhang, the chief soldier of Hebei, sent a letter that Lengkou and Xifengkou in the north of Jizhen have been opened, and supplies and ammunition can be sent to Chen Yongfu, Mr. Ou Man, and Zhang Kun's army. ”

Li Meng stood up with his hands behind his back, walked to the map hanging on the wall, looked at the location of Liaozhen and Manchuqing, picked up the charcoal pen placed below, picked up the pen and drew a line on the map of Yongping Mansion, Xingzhong on the grassland, and the border between Liaodong and North Korea, and whispered to himself:

"Fenced. ”
