Shengjing, the capital of the puppet Qing Dynasty, was actually rebuilt on the basis of Shenyang Zhongwei in the Ming Dynasty, and in the era of the old slave Nurhachi, the Houjin regime was still a gang of robbers who mainly looted, so the Houjin regime did not build a large scale on Shenyang City, and the families of the Eight Banners were basically still in Liaoyang and Fushun and other places.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he has been forging ahead, not only changing the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, but also changing the Yuan to ascend the throne to claim to be the emperor, and in the name of the five virtues have always said, openly proclaiming that his puppet Qing court is the founding of the country by water, and replacing the Ming country with water is a move that responds to the people.

In order to highlight the orthodox status of the puppet Qing court, Hong Tai vigorously expanded the Shenyang Zhongwei, and changed the original four city gates into eight gates, namely the Neizhi Gate and Fujin Gate of the East City, the South Gate for Tianyou Gate and Desheng Gate, and the West Gate for the Outer Gate and the North Gate of the Dizai Gate and Fusheng Gate.

Of course, Hongtai was not limited to the renovation of the outer city of Shenyang, and in the middle of Shenyang City, in the middle of the city, connecting to the eight city gates, the center of the road to build a "large-scale" inner palace.

After the city of Shenyang was transformed by the Dongyu, the width of the city reached one and a half zhang, the wall was nearly three zhang high, there were 5,7836 battlements, 37 nests, 16 arrow towers and watchtowers, and there were four urn cities, the city head was equipped with 16 Hongyi cannons, and the rest of the artillery was more than 400 guns, it can be said that it was solid, it was really the first big city in Liaodong, to Chongzhen ten years, Shenyang's Eight Banners were small plus those Baoyi and Aha, the residents in the city were not less than 150,000.

In order to prevent the loss of the rear, Huang Taiji then stayed in the Zhenguo general Ye Bushu, inlaid with the red flag Gushan Ezhen Ye Chen, the Zheng Huang Banner staff leader Zhang Bushan, and the Inner Court University scholar Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and other civil and military ministers guarded Shengjing

Ye Bushu is the fourth son of Huang Taiji, born to the side concubine Yan Zha, who is only seventeen years old this year, Huang Taiji left him to garrison Shenyang also has the intention of cultivating, the Dolgon brothers are eyeing each other, and the eldest prince Hauge also has a few brothers around him.

Although the war in Jinzhou was tense and the Ming army's offensive was fierce, the princes and ministers of the puppet Qing Dynasty in Shengjing City did not feel nervous, and the Qing Dynasty's victories over the Ming and Mongolia for a long time made these princes and ministers not have the slightest doubt about the Qing army's victory again.

The situation was also as they expected, after Huang Taiji's personal expedition, he soon discovered the weak link of the Ming army, personally led the army around the back road of the Ming army, dug three trenches about eight feet wide and eight feet deep in the Songshan area west of Jinzhou, and dug all the way to the sea, trapping Hong Chengchou and his 130,000 troops between Jinzhou and Songshan.

Outside the reinforcements, the grain road is cut off, the main force of the Ming army is defeated is already a matter of time, if the Ming country's nine-sided military town is annihilated, then the Qing Dynasty into the Central Plains is not as easy as a hand.

So when the battle report reached Shengjing in Jinzhou, the whole Shengjing City was boiling, and in order to celebrate another victory of the Qing Dynasty, Ye Bushu even invited Hongtai's empress Borgigit to lift the curfew, so that the children of Shengjing's Eight Banners could celebrate this great victory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all night.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and when the good news came from Jinzhou, the battle report from southern Liaoning was also sent to the Shengjing Palace almost at the same time.

"Prince Chenli played on behalf of the good: on the sixth day of the first month of August, the small Li thief attacked Lushun, the gateway of southern Liaoning, the minister adhered to the emperor's will, led the two red flag elites to set up an ambush in the Great Black Mountain and the Little Black Mountain, the little Li thief took Lushun lightly, saw that our army's defense was weak, thought that the main force of our Qing Dynasty was in western Liaoning, so he took Jinzhou directly, my Qing army fired ten thousand cannons, the ambush was exhausted, the Shandong army collapsed immediately under the surprise, under the trampling of each other, the casualties were very serious, our army was all brave, under the siege of several sides, the Ming army was defeated, and only thousands of remnants returned to Lushun, The ministers sent out the two red flags and the elite of the Mongol and Han dynasties, besieged on all sides, and must do their best to suppress their troops. ”

"Yes, the ministers captured the puppet Ming Penglai Marquis, the commander of Shandong, Liaodong General Military Officer Li Xingzhi and his generals and more than ten people, beheaded more than 11,000 ranks, and captured more than 3,100 people, and now they have 5,000 troops under the red flag to solidify the mountain and escort the captives back to Beijing, and ask the emperor to be lenient for a few days, the ministers will eliminate the remnants of the enemy in Lushun, relieve the emperor's worries about the south, and the ministers will congratulate our emperor long live!"

In Ye Bushu's Zhenguo Mansion, Bao Chengxian, a scholar of the Inner Court, read the battle report sent from southern Liaoning with his eyebrows fluttering.

This Bao Chengxian is also a strange person, he was originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, and after the surrender of the Mandate of Heaven in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, he entered the Literature Museum as a bachelor.

In the second year of Chongzhen, when Bao Chengxian accompanied Huang Taiji to attack the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi Shuntianfu, it is said that he had a counterplot to kill the Ming Dynasty Governor Yuan Chonghuan.

In the first year of Chongde in the puppet Qing Dynasty, Bao Chengxian was awarded the title of Scholar of the Inner Secretariat by Huang Taiji.

"Fourth elder brother, Prince Li completely annihilated the Shandong army of the Ming Kingdom, captured the little Li thief alive, and from then on Liaonan will have no worries!"

Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the inner courtyard standing in the hall, stroked the goatee in front of his face with a smug face, he had his reason for being proud, this victory in southern Liaoning was ostensibly the two red flags of Dai Shan, but in fact, it was not his insistence that Xiao Li thief was likely to take the opportunity of the decisive battle of Songjin to attack southern Liaoning.

"Well, Mr. Fan is strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, General Ben is very impressed, but Tezu escorted Xiao Li thief back to Shengjing, how should we deal with it."

Ye Bushu's mother is a concubine, and he himself is also a concubine, although he was awarded the title of Zhenguo Gong, but his status is still much lower than that of Hong Tai's other sons, Fan Wencheng is a person who is too trustworthy in Hong Tai, where does he dare to be lazy, so between words, there is still a little compliment.

"The old minister thinks that this matter should be immediately sent to the front line of Jinzhou with an expedited 800 li, one can reassure the hearts of our soldiers in the west, and the other can make Zu Dashou who is trapped in Jinzhou and the Ming army who was blocked by our army in Jinzhou discourage, so that the chances of victory in our Qing Dynasty can increase a lot."

Ning Wan I am also smiling, he is a border citizen of Liaoyang, during the Mandate of Heaven of Nurhachi, Ning Wan I was a scholar in Liaoyang at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and during the Mandate of Heaven of the old slave, because he saw that the East Captives were powerful, he devoted himself to the work of Prince Ying Sakhalian, and like Fan Wencheng, he was also an out-and-out traitor.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, because there were no scholars in the Later Jin regime, he heard that Ning Wan was a Xiucai of the Ming Kingdom, so he summoned him to the palace and awarded him to serve in the Hongwen Pavilion.

"Well, what Master Ning said is reasonable, this good news must be sent to Huang Ama first, but the Duke of China is also in charge for the first time, Gushan Ezhen Tezu escorted the thief Xiao Li back to Shengjing, and the Duke of the Kingdom really didn't know what method to use to greet him, and asked Bachelor Fan and Master Ning to teach me."

Ye Bushu is very self-aware, he knows that it is impossible for him, the prince who is a concubine, to take over the position of Huang Taiji, so he has a very low posture and does not offend the princes and ministers in the court.
