Under the command of Li Dingguo, the two armies landed on the first-line beach of Hongzuibao, defeated the local garrison of the Qing army, and went directly to Fuxian County, successfully rescued Liu Fuyi's army trapped in the city, and the main general of the Qing army, Jia La'e Zhenxifu, was killed.

After meeting with Liu Fu and his division to completely annihilate the Qing army Xifu I, there were no large Qing army troops in Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and the next thing to do was to clear the local remnants, quickly approach the area of Yizhou, and threaten the flank of the Jilharang army.

The task of clearing the area was handed over to Liu Fu's civilian army, and the main force of Tong Jingyan and the Korean army, totaling more than 10,000 people, quickly advanced in the direction of Yiju. Within three days, they captured Xiuyan Castle in the upper reaches of the Goe River.

When Zilharang received the battle report, he immediately fell ill, half of his body was suddenly paralyzed, and although he was sick, he still gave the order to retreat decisively. Now the main force of the Qing army outside the Guanguan is 30,000 people in his own hands, if Li Dingguo gathers and annihilates, then there will be no more troops to resist the enemy in the huge land outside the Guan.

After the retreat of Jierharang's army, Li Dingguo led his army to cover all the way behind, and met Tong Jingyan's soldiers and horses in Qingtaiyu. I have to say that the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was really empty, and no decent resistance was organized at all. By this time, most of Jinzhou, Haizhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou had been recovered in less than a month.

Zilharang temporarily replaced his own coach with Ying Erdai, and led Ahanikan, Shuojan, Yibai and other generals to garrison the Tianshui Station and Lianshan Pass, and stubbornly held the main road to Shengjing. And he himself ignored his illness and rode towards Shengjing overnight. By this time, the battle for power in the customs and the survival of Manchuria could no longer be compared, and his trip was to persuade the empress dowager and the emperor to immediately send an urgent report to the army of Dolgon asking for help, asking the army to join the army outside the pass.

After the Battle of Songjin, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's advantage outside the Guanguan was once again weakened by Yan Zòng. Even Zilharang couldn't understand how Zhu Ping'an raised an army of tens of thousands of people in Korea and Phi Dao, and when the Manchus were at their weakest, he stabbed them in the weakest places of the Manchus. A large number of fleas and bedbugs were also driven to the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, making the Manchus uneasy to sleep and eat. Such an opponent is really more terrifying than Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, and Xiong Tingbi.

Li Dingguo stationed troops on the front line of Qingtaiyu, divided his troops to capture Tangchi Fort and other strategic obstacles, forming a tight trend towards Shengjing and Liaoyang. After Liu Fu came to Qingtaiyu, he met Li Dingguo as soon as possible. Regarding Liu Xingzuo's deeds, Li Dingguo has also heard of it, and he also deeply admires his unswerving determination, but he didn't expect Liu Fu to be Liu Xingzuo's bloodline, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. With the banner of Liu Xingzuo's descendants, it is not a problem for the Han people in the Four Guards to return to their hearts, which is also greatly conducive to his rapid stabilization of the hearts and minds of the Four Guards.

However, Liu Fu expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Dingguo's army stopping at Qingtaiyu, and in his opinion, now is the time to pursue Shengjing, and it is entirely possible to take Shengjing down in one fell swoop.

As for Liu Fu's feelings, Li Dingguo can understand that since Tong Jingyan and Pu Youzhou entered the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the war has not encountered any obstacles in the slightest, which has made the whole army have a contemptuous attitude towards the Qing army. In addition, Liu Fu was eager to avenge his deceased father and family, so it was easy to form a situation in the army that could be fought outside the border.

For this reason, Li Dingguo convened a meeting of the generals in Qingtaiyu and specifically mentioned such an issue. Although the Manchu army is currently temporarily retreating, it does not mean that their strength has been weakened by Yanzhòng, don't forget, Dolgon's army is still entrenched in the Shanhaiguan line, and it is only 600 miles away from Shengjing, and there is also the newly added Wu Sangui Guanning army in the sequence, and the strength of the Manchu Qing has increased instead of decreasing.

Zilharang was also a famous general in Manchuria, and his decisive retreat was precisely to effectively resist Li Dingguo's attack. Now Concubine Zhuang is at the head of the Manchu harem, and the Mongolian tribes, under the contact of the Horqin Department, will never sit idly by and watch the predicament faced by the Qing army, as well as the elite of the Qing army stationed in Ningguta, maybe they are already galloping to Shengjing at this time. All the above factors are enumerated, if the Ming army despises the Manchus and strides into the Manchu hinterland, it may be bitten by the enemy. At that time, Zhu Ping'an's hard-fought advantageous situation will be lost.

Garrisoning Qingtaiyu and maintaining a coercive posture against the Qing army was Li Dingguo's stronghold after careful consideration. In this way, it is tantamount to receding all the pressure and choice to the decision-making level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Whether the troops in the Guannai will be reinforced, or sit back and watch Li Dingguo annex the four guards and gradually become bigger, thinking about this will definitely give the Manchu high-level a headache.

Although Li Dingguo is young, what he has done in Phi Dao and North Korea over the years is obvious to all, so when he made a decision, the generals naturally agreed.

Next, Xiao Yuanteng said one thing, now that most of the four guards are under control, the situation has slowly calmed down. However, in the mountains and forests of Siwei, there were still many rebellious bannermen and Mongols who had been instigated by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, and the Ming army and the Korean army entered Siwei, which relieved their pressure, but at the same time, they also suffered great pressure. Now, the Eight Banners regard them as rebels and rebels, and the attitude of the Ming army towards them has not yet been determined, so how to settle these people next?

It was really troublesome to deal with these people, and when the plan of commercial invasion was implemented according to Zhu Ping'an's vision, he did not expect that they would play such a big role. Nowadays, there is indeed some trouble for these people to go.

When Tong Jingyan and Liu Fuquan annihilated the Xifu Division, the two of them gave an order, and all the captured Manchurians became ghosts under the knife. At that time, many Han people in Fuzhou were slaughtered, and Tong Jingyan and Liu Fu did not share the sky with the Qing army, and what they did was understandable. But these bannermen represented by Gari and Dejiha must not do this again. If these people are to be exterminated, I am afraid that in the future, the use of troops will be met with desperate resistance from the Manchus and Mongols, and for the Ming army, it is indeed worth the loss.

Li Dingguo groaned for a long time, and the military tent became silent. Li Dingguo also has his own thoughts, the Military Intelligence Department set up the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and invested some manpower and material resources, but the return received was huge. It would be a pity if these people were really killed. It's better to .......

In an instant, Li Dingguo's plan had been decided, "Just ask Mr. Xiao to send someone to contact those people in Gari again." Siwei is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no place for them. Their lives, their families, and their assets are now in our hands. At the moment, it seems that they have no other choice, since they are already a member of the Chamber of Commerce, then continue to work for the Chamber of Commerce, and in the future, the Governor will naturally leave a way back for them. Let them sneak into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian steppe in batches, the Chamber of Commerce is in full swing, then there is no reason to stop! ”

Xiao Yuanteng's mind turned quickly, and he quickly stood up and walked in front of Li Dingguo, and said in a low voice: "My lord, look, do you want to send a letter to the marshal first to explain." Those people are always Manchurian, and we still have to be cautious in dealing with them, adults have lived in North Korea for a long time, and they are in charge of one side, and it is inevitable that someone will ......! ”

Li Dingguo and Xiao Yuanteng have been partners for several years, and they naturally have a tacit understanding between them. Although Li Dingguo is deeply trusted by Zhu Ping'an, he entrusts North Korea and foreign affairs to the whole, but now Zhu Ping'an has faintly had the temperament of a prince, with the progress of the war outside the Guan, Li Dingguo's authority will also become greater and greater, in the future, it is inevitable that Zhu Ping'an will be a little guarded against and afraid of it, you must know the case of three people becoming tigers!

Li Dingguo smiled indifferently, "Dingguo has been appreciated and supported by the marshal, and now he is in charge of the national war, and he has no regrets in this life." Over the years, your military intelligence department has sent men and horses in the army and the DPRK army to determine what the country is thinking, and the commander knows it clearly, and it is not necessary to write to explain it. ”

Xiao Yuanteng saw that Li Dingguo was so resolute, so he didn't persuade him. Speaking of the current battle at Shanhaiguan, after the defeat of the Dashun army, fortunately Li Yan led the right-wing army to resist desperately, so that the main force of the Dashun army and Li Zicheng retreated. I got the news a few days ago that Li Zicheng had retreated to the Beijing Division, and Li Yan and Liu Fangliang, who later came to reinforce the division, resisted step by step, but the Qing army failed to approach the vicinity of the Beijing Division.

I just don't know what kind of decision he will make when the news from outside the gate reaches Dolgon. However, it can be determined that with Li Dingguo's dispatch of troops outside the border, the general trend of the world will undergo immeasurable changes.

Li Dingguo was born in a rogue, although he was loyal to Zhu Ping'an, but he had no sense of belonging to the current Yixing court. Zhu Cihong has been on the throne for more than a month, and he has never been able to grasp the power of the Nanjing Imperial Court in his hands, and the Li Shichun and others gathered around him are just some Confucian scholars with average ability and short-sightedness.

The military and political affairs are even more chaotic, the battle of the Northern Expedition has begun, the governor of Zhulu soldiers and horses Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa are fighting alone in Henan, in addition to the Shandong side to give a certain amount of support, more than 200,000 mercenaries Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong are still on the move. What kind of good results can such a Northern Expedition get?

In contrast, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian was extremely active, and went on several concerts in a row, asking the superintendent to lead Zheng's naval division north along the Yangtze River to participate in the Northern Expedition. However, Zhu Cihong was not interested and did not have much interest in Zheng Zhilong's enthusiasm.

However, at this time, news of the Zheng family's civil strife suddenly came from Fujian. R1152
