Lushun.

After receiving the news that Li Dingguo's troops had blocked the main force of the two red flags in Jinzhou, Li Xingzhi and a group of generals of the Jingbei Army were also overjoyed and annihilated the two banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a battle.

Such a victory has never happened since the rise of the Later Jin, to put it mildly, nearly 20,000 Manchurian soldiers were annihilated, which has already broken the muscles and bones of the puppet Qing court.

What's more, the eldest son of the old slave, Prince Li of the Qing Dynasty, is still in the army, if he can be captured alive or beheaded in battle, those Mongols and Koreans who were coerced by the Eastern captives will definitely have to reconsider their future and turn their backs on the Manchu regime.

"Marshal, in this battle of Lushun, our fifth town and the new fifth town each have more than 1,000 battle losses, and the third town and the new third town of the Chinese army also have more than 3,000 casualties.

In his opinion, the two red flags are indeed the turtles in the urn, but the casualties of the Jingbei Army are also very large, and it is a prudent policy to stabilize southern Liaoning.

"Yang Shenzhi is right, from the beginning of the Battle of Lushun to the end of the Battle of Daheisheng, our army's consumption of medicine and artillery has reached half, and now there are only about 50,000 catties left, and such a proportion of materials is not enough for our army to enter Shenyang."

Hui Dengxiang, the general of the new three towns, also agreed with Yang Ji's opinion, and in this battle between Lushun and Daheisheng, he also saw the dependence of the Jingbei Army on artillery, and the fighting will of the Dongyu was also very strong.

According to the news from Jinzhou, Dai Shan led the army to evacuate Dashan overnight, and after the soldiers and horses arrived in Jinzhou, they launched an offensive without resting, which was something he had not encountered in the Ming army and the peasant army before, and it was difficult for him to imagine that an armed force that had lost nearly half of the army and horses could continue to fight.

"Lord, my subordinates think that Dai Shan is just a fish at the bottom of our kettle, if you want to capture him, you only need to stretch out your hand lightly, and you can receive it, now Huangtaiji is still in Jinzhou, Shenyang is empty, if you don't take it now, do you have to wait for the Qing army to return to the division to take it?"

Xu Yixian, the counselor of the military marshal's office, put forward his own point of view, taking advantage of his illness to ask for his life, taking advantage of this opportunity to defeat the two red flags, and the main force of the Qing army was still in Liaoxi, and took Shenyang, the capital of the puppet Qing state.

"Mr. Xu, Shenyang was originally an important town in Liaodong of my Ming Dynasty, with a circumference of more than nine miles, the city wall has two and a half zhang, and the rest of the nest shop, watchtower, arrow tower, enemy tower, urn city and other fortifications are readily available, after the old slave moved the capital to Shenyang, he continued to increase the height and strengthen the city defense of Shenyang, our army does not carry heavy weapons, I am afraid it is difficult to capture, if it is delayed for a long time, the main force of the East Captives returns to the division, and the consequences are not what you and I can bear."

Regarding Xu Yixian's opinion, Zhang Wu, the general of the fifth town, expressed his doubts, he had been in the Dongjiang River for a long time, and he was clear about the situation in Liaodong.

"Dashuai, the sin will think that it is still possible for us to capture Shenyang."

Xu Erxian and Kolbe, the lieutenants of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, who were captured by Li Xingzhi in the Battle of Lushun, put forward their views to Li Xingzhi's period.

"Oh, why did you take Shenyang?"

Li Xingzhi was very surprised, he didn't expect that Xu Erxian, a big traitor who followed Shang Kexi all the way from Shanhaiguan to Guangzhou in history, would actually offer a plan to him to capture Shenyang, the capital of the puppet Qing Dynasty.

"Marshal, the slave is a veteran of the blue flag, when the old slave Nurhachi led the army to attack Shenyang, it was relying on the Mongols and Jurchens in the city to respond, taking advantage of the Ming general soldier He Shixian to fight, suddenly attacked in the city, Shenyang immediately fell, the 70,000 defenders in the city suddenly collapsed, and now Huangtai Jidun soldiers in western Liaoning, two red flags trapped in southern Liaoning, the defenders in Shenyang will not exceed 1,000 people, we make up the red flag of the military horse in the name of the victory back to the division, Shenyang can go down with a drum!"

Xu Erxian and Kolbe are also decisive people, after seeing the defeat of the two red banners in Lushun, they broke off the thoughts of both ends of the first rat, joking, the Eight Banners of Manchuria directly broke off the two flags, is it still called Manchuria? If you don't show your loyalty to the new lord at this time, when will it be?

"What do you think?"

Li Xingzhi was noncommittal, and looked at the generals in the military marshal's mansion.

"Dashuai, I think it's okay, but Lushun is an important place in southern Liaoning, and Daishan's two red flags are trapped on Nanguanling, so Lushun still has to stay in the army to guard it."

Li Rui, the general of the third town, was the first to agree to Xu Erxian and Kolbe's plan.

Li Bangjie, who was leaning on the threshold and was bored, was also brilliant after hearing that he could capture Shenyang, and his lower body unconsciously reacted slightly

"Poof!"

"Hahaha, Li Bangjie, you rammer, let's think about fighting Shenyang, what the hell do you think about it?"

It was August, and the generals' clothes were already thin and few, and Li Bangjie's reaction caused a sudden change in the originally serious atmosphere in Xingyuan.

Li Rui, Zhang Wu and other generals held their stomachs and laughed one by one, but Xu Yixian and other civil officials were more reserved, only pursing their mouths desperately and holding back laughter, for fear of embarrassment in front of Li Xingzhi.

Li Xingzhi was also angry and laughed by Li Bangjie's cowardly brain circuit, this guy can think of that from the attack on Shenyang, he is really a fucking talent.

"What are you laughing at, Lao Tzu is thinking about that, don't you want to? Zhang Wu, you laughed so hard on a dog day, what happened that night, do you want Lao Tzu to say it in public. ”

Zhang Wu's face turned red, and he looked at Li Bangjie with an embarrassed expression, and the rest of Hui Dengxiang and the others didn't dare to laugh anymore, for fear of being identified by Li Bangjie.

The Jingbei Army expedition to southern Liaoning, from July to August, to attack Lushun, the two red flags of Daishan trapped between Lushun and Jinzhou, back and forth for nearly a month, the soldiers in the army are all the age of blood and strength, with the five dragons to hold the pillar method is also human nature, but if it is seen or said, it is still a little embarrassing, after all, the people of China are not uneducated Jianzhou barbarians.

"Okay, don't say it, the so-called opportunity must not be lost, it will not come again, now is a good opportunity for us to break through Shenyang, Li Rui, the third town and the new third town and the remaining 10,000 people in the new fifth town are ready to prepare dry food for ten days from the waterway to Fuzhou, and go straight to Shenyang."

"Alan Chai, Kolbe, you gather your subordinates, and change the clothes and armor of the military flags with the red flags and red flags captured in the Great Black Mountain, let's go to Jinzhou by water first to meet the Amba and Bara them, and march to Shenyang with great fanfare in the name of victory, Akma and Zack, you also lead the Han army flag to accompany you."

With thousands of Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han green banner soldiers in his hands, Li Xingzhi could march to Shenyang in the name of returning to his division, and he could not say that the local garrisons of the Qing army along the way would also provide him with food and straw.

After arranging the candidates for the army in Shenyang, Li Xingzhi looked at Zhang Wu and Su Guanhai, the generals of the fifth town, who were eager to try.

"Lushun is the gateway to southern Liaoning, and it is also a good port for our army to transfer materials, more than 10,000 defeated troops in Daishan are still trapped in Nanguanling, General Zhang, you have been in Lushun for a long time, and the back road of this commander will be handed over to you."
