The fire, which burned for a day and a night, was finally extinguished, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians completed the cleaning and burial of more than 100,000 corpses, and immediately followed the pre-war sequence, stationed in Shenyang City in batches, and under the orders of thousands of large and small leaders, with full hope, began to clean up the ruins, repair the city walls, and rebuild their homes.

According to the commendation order issued by Zhu Dashuai, each soldier and civilian participating in the war were rewarded with 10 taels of silver and 100 mu of land, officers at and above the company commander level were rewarded with 100 taels of silver and 300 mu of land, and 100,000 people could choose whether to stay after the complete subjugation of Liaodong, and the Dongjiang New Army and the Fushan Army each set up a division and two cavalry regiments to form the Liaodong Army and garrison Shenyang for a long time.
After the two major battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang, there was not one Tatar armed force left behind in Liaodong.
The Houjin regime in Liaodong, which claimed to be one million soldiers and civilians, was completely broken.
Zhu Daolin and his generals repeatedly calculated according to various intelligence and the number of enemies destroyed, and found that the Tartar soldiers and civilians occupying Liaodong were less than 400,000 people, of which about 150,000 were young and strong, and about 80,000 were soldiers, of which more than 30,000 were taken by Huang Taiji to the Xuanda front line thousands of miles away, and less than 50,000 Tartar soldiers remained in Liaodong.
After devastating blows such as the raids on Jinzhou and Jiuliancheng, the annihilation of Gaizhou, the siege of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and the ambush at the ferry, these 50,000 remaining troops were basically wiped out. Nearly 150,000 Tartars were martyred, and as many as more than 100,000 Han slaves in Liaodong either surrendered or fled, and the Tartar soldiers who escaped and were distributed outside the mountains and wilderness were less than 10,000. The number of Tatar civilians who settled in various parts of Liaodong and in the wilderness and mountains ranged from 100,000 to 150,000, among which the largest concentration of Tatar soldiers and civilians was Jianzhouwei, two hundred miles east of Shenyang.
In line with the principle of ********, the 80,000-strong army, which had rested for two days, moved again, and the eight cavalry regiments that had gone to the west to clear the remnants of the Tartars were also recalled.
Zhu Daolin personally led the first division of the Fushan Army and 30,000 armed young men from Liaodong, sat in Shenyang, and launched a dragnet sweep within a radius of dozens of miles, protecting the fertile fields and Hanmin forts within a radius of 50 miles. Commanded more than 50,000 Liaodong people to rebuild Shenyang City.
Guo Zhongjun, commander-in-chief of the Western Front, led the Second Division of the Dongjiang New Army, the attached 20,000 Liaodong Han troops and 50,000 Liaomin to return to Gaizhou to protect hundreds of thousands of acres of grain that was about to be harvested, and together with the Li Yiliang Division and the Jinzhou Detachment of the North Sea Fleet, which remained in Jinzhouwei. The Guanning Army, which was closely monitoring the direction of Jinzhou, was ready to strike at the Tatar and Mongol soldiers who might return from the direction of Jinzhou.
A total of 40,000 soldiers of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Divisions of the Dongjiang New Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, went to Jingyuanbao, Pingyubao, and Yulin Fort on the east bank of the Liaohe River in the northwest. Launched a blockade on the Huangtaiji Department that returned to Liaodong.
Two marine divisions led by Jiang Yulong sailed to Fort Changsheng, 65 kilometers southwest of Shenyang. The line of the Great Wall in the lower reaches of the Liao River echoes the north and south of the Dongjiang New Army.
The 50,000 Korean troops who had been stationed in Liaoyang were divided into two routes, all the way to the north, attacking the Jurchen Laochao Jianzhou, and one part stayed in Liaoyang to clear the remnants of the surrounding Tatars.
In order to motivate the North Korean officers and soldiers, Zhu Daolin allowed them to distribute all the captures, including the population, and at the end of the war, they would be rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver or equivalent weapons and equipment.
Chongzhen for seven years. The fifth day of the eighth month.
Zhu Daolin led an army of 100,000 to occupy Jiuliancheng, Kuandian, Zhuanghekou, Jinzhou, Gaizhou, Liaoyang, Shenyang and other most of the good news of Liaodong to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen and the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and half convinced. They didn't dare to release this shocking news to the public.
No one knew that in fact, as early as three days ago, the Guan Ning army guarding the front line of Jinzhou and Ningyuan had quietly set off to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the robbery forward led by Zu Dashou was blocked by Guo Zhongjun, a general under Zhu Daolin, in the west of the Sanhekou in the lower reaches of the Liao River.
On the seventh day of August, in the afternoon.
Zhu Daolin's Xiao general Han Yuhu led 500 elite cavalry to escort Dai Shan, Shuotuo, Huang Taiji's wife Borzigit, Bulbutai and other thousands of Houjin generals and dignitaries, 50 gold seals, and 15 Houjin Eight Banners to the capital, neatly lined up outside the noon gate, finally dispelling the deep suspicions of the Chongzhen Emperor and the Chinese Wu of the dynasty, triggering the cheers of millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital.
Emperor Chongzhen has seen thousands of Tartar heads, and with the assistance of the chief officials at all levels such as Dongchang, Jinyi Wei and the Ministry of War, he carefully inspected the golden seal of the Tartar royal family and the Eight Banners, and couldn't help but cry with tears on his face, and then grabbed the Dongjiang New Army from the tomb of the old thief Nurhachi to dig out the specially presented Nine Dragon Seals, and ran back to the palace regardless of the eight nobles and eunuchs of the inner court who were also full of tears, and came to cry under the ancestral tablet to complain about the memorial.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the ninth day of August.
The good news that Haibo, the commander of the Dongjiang New Army and the governor of coastal defense, led the Dongjiang New Army and the naval division under his command to recover Liaodong, together with the edict conferring Zhu Daolin as the Duke of Yasukuni, was promulgated to the world.
On 19 August, 80,000 cavalry from Huangtaiji's headquarters and Mongolian divisions crossed the Liao River and launched a fierce attack on Jingyuan Fort guarded by Wu Jicheng's troops and Dongchang Fort defended by Guo Zhongjun's troops.
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Wu Jicheng's troops and Guo Zhongjun's troops successively abandoned their advantageous positions on the front line of the Great Wall, retreated in embarrassment, and the Tartar troops whose eyes were red with hatred did not give up, pursued and fought fiercely, and the tragic melee between the two sides did not stop until dawn.
The Tartar army, which had been galloping for more than half a month and experiencing a day and a night of hard fighting, finally became the end of the crossbow, and soon fell into the encirclement of 200,000 Ming soldiers and civilians.
August 20, afternoon.
Zhu Daolin mercilessly beheaded Duoduo Belle and Bao Chengxian and Luo Jinxiu, two traitors sent by Huang Taiji to negotiate, and ordered an all-out attack on the Tartar troops in the encirclement.
In the evening, the Ming army's many artillery pieces were still roaring, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers stepped on the corpses everywhere, gradually narrowing the encirclement.
Huang Taiji and other seven thief chiefs who tried to commit suicide were taken away by the four guards, and under the protection of thousands of diehard loyalists to go forward and flee westward, they paid the price of most of the dead and wounded and narrowly fought out of the encirclement, and fled across the Liao River to the vast grassland in a panic, under the unrelenting pursuit of the Ming cavalry, Dolgon, Yuetuo, Azig and other thief chieftains were killed one after another, and finally survived to escape the Tartars and Mongol soldiers will be less than 1,000 people.
After this battle, nearly half of the 80,000 troops brought back by Huang Taiji were killed and wounded, and in desperation, they threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees, and the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry who were used as submachine cannon fodder suffered heavy casualties.
On the morning of August 21, with Zhu Daolin's order, the surviving more than 20,000 Houjin Tartars and Mongolian remnants were either shot en masse or beheaded by the people of Liaodong, who had been angry for many years.
On August 25, Emperor Chongzhen's edict of commendation was delivered to Shenyang, appointing Wu Jicheng, the chief general of the Dongjiang New Army, as the capital of Liaodong and giving the dragon and tiger generals; Zhang Yizhen, the deputy general of the Dongjiang New Army, was appointed to take over as the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, and led his troops to be stationed in Yiju City, North Korea; Li Yuming, deputy general of the Dongjiang New Army, was appointed as the commander of the Jinzhou Guard, and the other dozens of generals and colonels were all promoted to serve as commanders at all levels of the Liaodong garrison, which had grown to 80,000 soldiers.
On 30 August, Zhu Daolin obeyed the emperor's edict and led three new divisions of Guo Zhongjun's division and two marine divisions of Jiang Yulong's division to Shanhaiguan by land.
The 10,000 marines led by Jiang Yulong rushed into the city shouting slogans such as "obey the order to rebel, disarm and not kill", and "only take the main general, and the rest are not asked", and Guo Zhongjun led 30,000 soldiers to quickly encircle Jinzhou City.
Under the deterrence of the earth-shattering gunshots, the defenders in the city were in chaos, and more than ten generals such as Zu Dashou, who had gone to the general trend, abandoned their weapons and surrendered after receiving Jiang Yulong's promise of "disarming and not killing, escorting the capital to the emperor for questioning", and just escorted out of the city, they were executed by Zhu Daolin, who did not admit his account, and then exterminated the three clans.
At this point, Jiang Yulong, who was about to be recommended by Zhu Daolin as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, led his troops into Jinzhou to reorganize and screen the Guanning army, which was nominally as high as 80,000 officers and soldiers, but in fact only had 20,000 soldiers to fight.
In the following month, Jiang Yulong and others led his troops to count the property of dozens of generals and colonels such as Zu Dashou one by one, and posted a notice in the name of the emperor, distributing up to one million mu of land equally to the common people who had been enslaved by Zu Dashou's family for many years.
Wu Xiang's father and son, who stayed in Ningyuan City, received the secret report, and their souls were scattered, and before the arrival of Zhu Daolin's army, they rolled up the gold and silver they could carry, and fled south with dozens of relatives and 800 families.
Two days later, the desperate Wu Xiang father and son were forced to surrender, and the father and son followed the allusion of the guilt of Jing Plea, and Chi Tan bowed his head to Zhu Daolin with thorns on his back.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the fifth day of the ninth month.
Zhu Daolin and Guo Zhongjun, the confidant general who had been appointed by the emperor as the chief military officer of Denglai, led his troops into Shanhaiguan to carry out the final reorganization of the 25,000 selected Guanning troops, took out all the captured weapons and armor of the Guanning army and re-equipped, and handed them over to Wu Xiang, who he was promoted as the chief military officer of Nanyang, to continue to lead, and three days later went to the Central Plains to encircle and suppress the rebellion.
On 21 September, Zhu Daolin, the Duke of Yasukuni, led dozens of highly meritorious generals and 20,000 meritorious elites under his command to arrive in the capital, entered the Desheng Gate amid the deafening cheers of millions of soldiers and civilians, passed through the bustling streets full of joy, and came to the noon gate to kowtow to Emperor Chongzhen outside the noon gate, accompanied by more than 100 civil and military officers of the DPRK and the central government respectfully.
