When Turai led 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners into the city of Qingxian, he saw an empty city.

According to Geng Zhongming's documents, at this moment, Geng Zhongming and the other Golden Tartars should be waiting in Qingxian, why is the Qingxian Chengchi empty and there are no sergeants in sight.

The sergeants soon discovered the anomaly in the city, and they found a large amount of bloodstains, as well as a lot of horse manure, which undoubtedly showed that there was once a large army stationed here, and that there was once a fierce fighting here.

If the army slaughters the city, the bloodstains are generally concentrated on the street or in an open area, and the bloodstains in the houses are not too much, and the bloodstains are generally concentrated, but the bloodstains found by the sergeants are relatively messy, especially the large amount of bloodstains found at the city gate, which makes them feel that something is wrong.

In Geng Zhongming's documents, it is said that Du Du and Geng Zhongming's army were all defeated by the Zheng family's army, and Du Du and Geng Zhongming were even captured by the Zheng family's army, you must know that Du Du's command is an army of 40,000, which shows that the Zheng family's army's combat effectiveness is by no means ordinary.

Turai didn't dare to imagine what would happen next if Zheng Jiajun entered Hejian Province.

Just as Thulaishan was hesitating what decision to make, the scouts sent by Dorgon finally arrived in Qingxian.

Dolgon sent a lot of scouts, but most of them went in the direction of Hejian Fucheng, they didn't find anything, and turned their heads in the direction of Qingxian and Wuqiao and even Jinghai.

After reading Dolgon's letter, Thurai's face changed dramatically, and the information reported by Geng Zhongming was finally confirmed.

However, whether to wait for Geng Zhongming and the other army in Qingxian County, or to quickly leave Qingxian and move closer to Yanqing Prefecture, made it impossible for Turai to make a decision in a short time.

Half a day passed, and judging from the situation in Qingxian County, which the sergeant had detected, there had indeed been a large-scale fighting here.

Turning into an ant on a hot pot in an instant, he ordered the sergeants to be on strict guard, and at the same time ordered the gates of the city to be closed. He didn't know if he had entered the trap, could it be that Geng Zhongming and the other army had been wiped out by the Zheng family's army, how long had it been. If the Zheng Jiajun has such a powerful combat effectiveness, it is impossible for the 20,000 soldiers under your command to resist at all.

A night passed, and the unrelenting Turai did not sleep all night. He was looking forward to being able to receive the 10,000 troops on the Jinghai side, as for the 10,000 Han troops under Geng Zhongming's command, it didn't matter.

It was dawn, it was quiet, nothing happened.

Turai suddenly became irritable, he really couldn't understand why he suddenly evacuated if it was said that the Zheng family's army had already come to Hejian Mansion, and had even been ambushed in Qingxian County a long time ago, and wiped out Geng Zhongming's other army. The 20,000 army led by himself didn't know anything, wouldn't he enter the ambush circle in a daze, how could Zheng Jiajun, such a good fighter, give up, this doesn't make sense anyway.

It wasn't until the advance army sent by Dolgon appeared outside Qingxian that Turai suddenly understood everything, it turned out that Dolgon had already led the army out of Yanqing Prefecture and came in the direction of Hejian Province, no wonder the Zheng family army would suddenly withdraw.

Entering Qingxian, Dolgon's face was gloomy, and he held a letter in his hand. No one would have thought that this letter was actually written by Zheng Xunrui, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Caoyun, Zheng Xunrui, and the letter was naturally sent by the sergeant of the Eight Banners who was captured by the Zheng family's army.

Looking at the confused Thurai. Looking at Dudu, who shrugged his head, Dorgon erupted again.

"The 40,000 Eight Banners warriors disappeared like this, and the imperial brother entrusted me with a great trust, I didn't expect it to end like this, an army of 150,000. Now there are only 90,000 people left, I feel fortunate that the rest of the army of the Ming Dynasty is weak, do you know what Zheng Xunrui said in the letter to me, he clearly told me that if you are not convinced, you can wait in Hejian Mansion, he will unite the army under the command of Hong Chengchou, and fight a decisive battle with me, at that time, what will be the end, I dare not imagine. ”

"Zheng Xunrui is too arrogant, he doesn't take me seriously at all, but I admit that he is a warrior, he can tell me calmly in the letter that if he continues to stay in the pass, it will be a dead end, even if Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty gives me such a letter, I won't care, but Zheng Xunrui's letter, I dare not ignore it."

"Turai, you don't have to wait, the 10,000 Han troops under Geng Zhongming have been wiped out, Geng Zhongming was also captured by the Zheng family's army, and the 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners along the other road were also defeated by the Zheng family's army......"

When he said this, Dorgon couldn't say any more, such a disastrous defeat was difficult for him to accept in a short time, and he could almost say that he couldn't believe it.

All this has not yet been reported to Huang Taiji, and I don't know what the situation will be like after returning to Shenyang.

Thurai looked at Dorgon and Dudu, and spoke boldly.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that the army can find the Zheng family army and fight fiercely......"

"What do you know, speaking wildly, do you think that all the 100,000 warriors with the Eight Banners will stay here?"

Dolgon's roar made Thurai's body tremble, and he quickly lowered his head.

Du Du looked at Turai and spoke slowly.

"Lord Wang, the last general made a mistake in command, and the responsibility cannot be shirked......"

"Don't talk about this, if you want to talk about responsibility, my responsibility is greater, I'm the commander, okay, you don't have to argue, order the army to get ready, rest in Qingxian for a day, set off tomorrow, and use three days to leave the Guannei from Gubeikou and return to Shenyang, I will ask the imperial brother for the loss of this battle."

Dudu and Turai bowed his head again.

"Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun will be the biggest threat to my Great Qing Kingdom, Fan Wencheng once suggested that the Ming Dynasty should deal with Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, at that time I didn't care, and even ridiculed and ridiculed Fan Wencheng's idea, now it seems that Lao Fan understands the situation of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the suggestions put forward are the best."

"After I go back, I will make a suggestion to the imperial brother, in the next few years, don't think about entering the customs and looting, our attention should be on the Mongolian steppe and Korea, Lao Fan said very accurately, once my Great Qing Kingdom is not the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun may become the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty."

Dolgon led the army to withdraw from Qingxian and went north in the direction of Dacheng, Dong'an, and Wuqing, at a very fast pace, and they did not continue to plunder the city.

The news was soon known to Zheng Xunrui, who had been evacuated to Baoding City.

Baoding Mansion, wings.

"This battle is over, we are ready to leave Beizhili."

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Zheng Xunrui continued to make arrangements.

"Hong Xintao, you continue to go back to Xi'an, Shaanxi, the task I gave you is to expand the Zheng family army soldiers stationed in Xi'an to 30,000 people in about a year, and you are fully responsible for the mutual market with the Mongolian tribes, one-third of the income, you leave the expenses for maintaining the Zheng family's army, and the remaining two-thirds do not need to be transported to Huai'an, but directly to Penglai for the Zheng family's army in Fuzhou."

"Yang He, you still have to go back to Fuzhou, the Zheng family army soldiers in the direction of Fuzhou must be expanded to 50,000 in about a year, these soldiers must be like nails, firmly rooted in Fuzhou, in the future, defeat the Houjin Tartars, and recover a large area of Liaodong, which is the main task of these 50,000 soldiers."

"Hong Xingui went to Penglai to train and expand the water division, the water division must maintain a scale of about 10,000 people, its structure belongs to the Zheng family army, obey the dispatch and command of the Zheng family army, and the composition of its troops is transferred from the 50,000 Zheng family army soldiers in Fuzhou."

"The role of the sailor is huge, and you will be able to understand it in the future, so Hong Xingui must expend his energy to train an invincible and invincible sailor army."

"The soldiers of the Zheng family army in Huai'an also need to be expanded to 40,000 within a year."

"Xu Jikuang, you follow Hong Xintao to Xi'an, Shaanxi, remember, your main task is to assist Hong Xintao in managing the Zheng family's army, the situation in the north must be maintained by these 30,000 Zheng family's army, you must maintain the general stability of Shaanxi and Shanxi and other places, you must handle the relationship with the Ordos tribe, the Turpan tribe and the Yarkand tribe in Mongolia, and at the same time, how to manage the affairs of Shaanxi's commerce and trade, so that the government can get more income, you also have to assist the governor of Shaanxi, Lord Wen Zhenmeng."

"Wen Kun, when you go to Fuzhou, the task is the same, the situation in Fuzhou and other places is very complicated, directly confront the Houjin Tartars, you have to be adaptable, you have to deal with emergencies in all aspects, you have to ensure the stability of the people in Fuzhou and other places, so that they can live a peaceful life."

"Fuzhou's money and food are insufficient, Huainan is responsible for supply, and the consumption of 50,000 troops is huge, Wen Kun, you can do more in commerce and trade."

"Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, you lead the rest of the Zheng family soldiers and soldiers back to Huai'an."

"As for the things in the capital, I'll just deal with it." ……

After the arrangement was over, Zheng Xunrui stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is over, but it is not really the end, we will face a lot of problems next, some of these problems come from the Houjin Tartars and Liukou, and some may come from the inside, and these internal problems are really fatal, after this fiasco, presumably the Emperor Taiji of Houjin will adjust his strategy."

"What to do next, I don't want to say more, you all know it, okay, you all go and prepare, starting tomorrow, you will leave Beizhili one after another and return to where you should go."

"Once again, I remind you that victory belongs to the past, and no one should dwell on it." (To be continued.) )
