The Second Corps of the Second Guards Army had already conquered Fengji Fort, and blocked the Qing army rushing from other forts to reinforce Shenyang at Fengji Fort.

The 2nd Corps of the 2nd Guards Army used advanced rifled guns and artillery to turn the outside of Fengji Fort into the Shura Hell.

The Qing army reinforcements were all blocked here, and the Qing army eventually retreated to ensure the defense of Hetuala.

The Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army was also transferred to Liaoyang City on 16 February.

At the same time, the First Corps of the Second Guards Army continued to defend the city of Shenyang.

Because it has been three months since the Second Guards Army landed at Lushunkou and attacked all the way to the city of Shenyang, the officers and men of the Second Guards Army were very tired, and the logistical supply was also insufficient.

As a result, the Second Guards Army did not continue to attack for some time.

After all, the Guards are a modern army, and their main weapons are already hot weapons, especially the consumption and demand for ammunition such as artillery and guns are very large.

Coupled with the grain and grass of 150,000 troops and tens of thousands of war horses, as well as the change of military uniforms after the arrival of summer, the requirements for logistics supply of the Guards are particularly high.

In addition, the Liaodong region does not have a popular base compared to the Guannei, and if you want to truly realize the complete rule of the Ming Dynasty over the Liaodong region, you also need the Second Army of the Guards to continue to maintain law and order here.

As a result, the Second Guards Army could only temporarily enter a period of recuperation.

Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief and governor of the Second Army of the Guards, also took advantage of this recuperation period to give Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen a plan for the next battle of the Second Army of the Guards.

According to the next battle plan of the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the Guards.

The First Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army will next attack Fushun and Sarhu from Shenyang, and then enter and occupy Hetuara and even the entire Nuergandusi area, in preparation for the vast area north of Mobei in the future.

The Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army will start from Liaoyang to recover Guangning, followed by Shanhaiguan until Guannei, and cooperate with the brother troops of the Guards in the Guannai to complete the siege of the Manchus in the area of Shuntianfu.

Zhu Youzhen agreed to the battle plan of Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief and governor of the Second Army of the Guards, and at the same time asked Jinyiwei to allocate special talents to provide intelligence support for the next battle plan of the Second Army of the Guards, and also let the Guards make pre-war preparations in advance in the second season.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen also continued to increase logistical and transportation support for the Second Guards Army of the Guards Navy.

Thanks to the convenience brought by the opening of the port of Shanghai in Songjiang Prefecture, the Guards Navy can directly enter the Wusong River along the Yangtze River, and finally directly take the sea route across the Ming Sea to Lushunkou.

Now, the First Army of the Guards Army has begun to advance from Wuqiao to Baoding Mansion.

The Second Guards Army has now recovered Shenyang and Liaoyang City.

The Third Army of the Guards Army advanced to Taiyuan and the Daimyo's Mansion,

The Fourth Guards Army advanced to Tongguan and also entered Shanxi.

The Seventh Guards Army had already advanced to Xi'an.

It can be said that as of the beginning of March of the 23rd year of Chongzhen, the armies of the Ming Guards have completed most of the victories of the Northern Expedition.

But these were only the military parts of the Generalissimo's entire Northern Expedition strategy.

Today's Generalissimo's Mansion has its own staff department, just like the think tank of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

This staff department gathered all the strategist ministers of the Ming Dynasty and made comprehensive and meticulous arrangements for the strategy of the Northern Expedition in all aspects.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to be so methodical in directing the Guards on the front line to fight, and at the same time raising military funds in the rear through the issuance of "Northern Expedition Coupons" to support the Northern Expedition.

In addition, the Generalissimo's Office also formulated a strategy to use the national strength of Korea to participate in the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, although North Korea is now a vassal state of the Manchu Dynasty, the Korean people still have feelings for the Ming Dynasty, for example, when the Korean king Li Liang agreed to accept the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Korea, he was ousted from power by the angry Korean people.

And North Korea can still play a role in the area outside the border.

First of all, the area outside the Guanxi is too vast and it is the core area of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the public security and bandits are serious, and the 150,000 men and horses of the Second Army of the Guards cannot be managed, and letting North Korea send troops to assist the Ming Dynasty can naturally let the North Korean army act as cannon fodder.

Second, the DPRK has been in Chengping for more than 10 years, and its grain reserves are naturally abundant, and if the DPRK is pulled to its side, the Second Army of the Guards Army can directly obtain grain and grass subsidies from the DPRK to reduce the difficulty and cost of logistics supply.

It is precisely because of this that the Minister of the Navy of the Generalissimo's Office, that is, the Sincere Hou Liu Kongzhao, did not participate in the task of the Guards Navy to participate in the logistics supply of the entire Northern Expedition, but went to Korea in November of the 22nd year of Chongzhen with five sail warships, 3,000 navy and 2,000 marine infantry and 500 cavalry and 500 artillerymen.

According to the strategic plan of the Generalissimo's Office, Liu Kongzhao went to Korea not as an envoy to visit Korea, but to conquer Korea.

After all, in fact, North Korea was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it was changed to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although it was forced, but in the end it was forced by the Ming Dynasty, so the Guards naturally wanted to ask the North Korean Xingshi for their crimes.

What's more, in this era, there is no one who is casually convinced of you, as long as you are stronger than the other party, people will feel respect for the other party, not to mention between countries.

Now that the Ming Dynasty wants North Korea to assist in its Northern Expedition, it is natural to use force to deter North Korea first.

Let North Korea know that the Ming Dynasty is not extremely weak, and that it is stronger than before.

Of course, the crusade was only the initial means, and the real purpose was to use the power of North Korea to serve the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty actually sent envoys.

However, this messenger is not Liu Kongzhao.

After all, Liu Kongzhao was the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and Korea was just an ordinary vassal state, and according to the convention, the Ming Dynasty only needed to send a pedestrian from the pedestrian division.

Therefore, this time, the Ming Dynasty still only sent Xu Xianqing, a waiter of the Hanlin Academy and a pedestrian department, as an angel to go to North Korea with Liu Kongzhao.

If North Korea is willing to turn its back on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, bow down and confess its guilt, do not meet with the Ming soldiers, and is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will naturally be responsible for Xu Xianqing to ask North Korea to assist the Ming Northern Expedition, and if North Korea is unwilling, Liu Kongzhao will use force to force North Korea to be willing.

At the end of December of the 22nd year of Chongzhen, Liu Kongzhao arrived near Jeju Island in North Korea.

North Korea has its own navy, and in this era in the Wanli period also made achievements, and now when the Ming navy appeared, what Liu Kongzhao didn't expect was that these North Korean navy was not vigilant but cheered.

At this time, Li Shi, the defense envoy of the Korean naval army on Jeju Island in North Korea, also learned the news that the Ming Navy appeared on Jeju Island, and Li Shi hurriedly ran out in person: "Li Shi, the minister of the vassal, greets the angel!" ”
