Li Xingzhi did not have to consult with the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries to implement the two decrees of "Rectification of Salt Administration" and "Rectification of Mining Tax Order", but directly issued them in the name of the imperial court.

To tell the truth, Beizhili and Shandong experienced Chongzhen's eleventh year of Qing army entering the customs, basically being crippled by the Eastern Prisoners, the gentry in various places died to death, and those who fled, these two decrees were not difficult to implement, Li Xingzhi's actual target was actually the Jin Shang Group in Shanxi.

As early as when the Jingbei army raided Qufu in the name of the Eastern Prisoners, it was found that the tentacles of the Jin Merchants had extended to Shandong and even Nanzhili, the so-called words were not good, the name was not right, the name was not right, and the matter could not be done, and if you wanted to win the Jin Merchants in one fell swoop, you must be famous, and Li Xingzhi was afraid that the collection of a mining tax would not stimulate the slippery Jin merchants like loaches, so this time in the Northern Expedition to Liaodong, Li Xingzhi also had a purpose to dig out the evidence of collusion between the Jin Shang Group and the Dongyu.

Therefore, after the arrival of the new town and the new sixth town in Tongzhou, Li Xingzhi immediately ordered the various departments to prepare for the expedition.

In this dispatch of troops to Liaodong, Li Xingyi requisitioned and transferred a total of Jinshengheng in Xinyi Town, Liu Wenxiu in Xinsi Town, Shang Kexi in Sixth Town, Geng Zhongming in Xinliu Town, Tangtong in Seventh Town, as well as more than 3,400 Manchurian and Han Green Banner and more than 1,000 iron soldiers from Li Bangjie's department, nearly 30,000 cavalry.

In addition, in addition to the artillery teams of various towns, Li Xingzhi also requisitioned 20,000 people in Beijing and Tongzhou in the name of the imperial court to transport equipment and materials such as grain, grass, artillery, and armor.

"The marshal, the minions, etc., since the vote of the marshal, although they have been awarded the owner of a banner, but the soldiers and horses of the headquarters are fighting less and less, and now there are less than a thousand people in the green flag, and the minions are not the right flag owners, so it is better for the marshal to adapt us to the new seven towns!"

The owner of the Manchurian Green Banner Anba looked at Li Xingzhi with some helplessness, after the Manchurian and Mongolian Han Green Banner defected to the Jingbei Army, it had already reduced more than 1,000 people, and after a few more battles, wouldn't he, the banner owner, become the commander of the light pole.

"This attack on Liaodong, Ben Shuai intends that you go out of Qingshan Pass, and the Mongols outside the pass will be captured by you, and the Dingkou captured will be disposed of by you, but if you catch the Han people who go out of the customs, you will be sent to the Shanhaiguan camp."

"Minions, thank you so much!"

Amba, Alan Chai and others were overjoyed, the Mongols were all men on horseback, although they took refuge in the east, but there were still a considerable number of men left behind in their respective pastures.

These Manchurians ruled Mongolia in these years, and all the Dingkou who could fight were filled into the army, and even took away the standard weapons of their respective tribes, and the Mongols on the steppe were almost poor and only had ox horns and bows, and there were more than 3,000 cavalry, and it was not easy to defeat some small tribes.

At the beginning of November of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Xingzhi was ready for the Northern Expedition, and in the name of the imperial court, he went to Wenshan Customs, and Wu Sangui immediately obeyed the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and led the Guanning army to immediately rush to the battlefield in Henan.

In the face of the aggressive Jingbei army, Wu Sangui knew that he could not delay any longer, and then openly announced the rebellion of King De and Li Xingzhi in Shanhaiguan, and committed the theft of the country in the name of Jingnan, forcing the first emperor to die, abolishing the prince and establishing the king.

The chief military officer of the town guarding the mountain customs reported to the military attachés and military civilians in the world that they were aware:

This town is deeply talking about the Ming Dynasty Shijue, and the town of Shanhaiguan is unified. For a while, Li rebelled and advocated chaos, sinful and disobedient, pretending to be in the name of the Qing Dynasty's monarchy, spinning the Kou Jingshi, and the collapse of the Empress Yi was miserable! The upheaval of the Donggong Domain, the collapse of civil and military affairs, the chaos of the six palaces, the instantaneous ruins of the temple, the displacement of living beings, and the sideways eyes of the subjects. In the whole world, there is no righteous Xingshi Qin Wang to beg for thieves, it hurts! What can you say about the fortune of the country?

The town lives alone outside the pass, exhausted by the soldiers, with thousands of tears and blood, and heartache is silent. For the orthodoxy of our emperor, I had to make an alliance with blood, Xu Yu was sealed, and temporarily borrowed 100,000 soldiers, as a precursor, and beheaded the generals. Saddened by the revenge of the monarch's father, he vowed to capture the thief and behead the Taimiao to thank the spirit of the first emperor.

Wang Qiaonian, the governor of the five provinces, received the favor of the first emperor, and was angry that Li rebelled against the crime of the domain, and was also invited by Kuang Fu Sheji, and also invited from the town. Shaanxi Sun Butang Gong was loyal to the country, but also dissatisfied with the regent of the crime domain, the former had been in the book, if the town raised the flag, the Qin army immediately rotated the division to the east, went to Shanxi, Ningwu directly took the Beijing division, the three-way army mobilized a total of 600,000 soldiers and horses to surround it, Li Zhi'an can resist my thunderous blow.

The civil and military generals of Gyeonggi, the first emperor of the department, the poor and lame, the commission of the criminal domain, now the army is everywhere, it is advisable to surrender early, if the thief is still the same, for the minions of the criminal domain, the heavenly soldiers will arrive, and the jade will be burned, don't say that it is unpredictable! Among the officials in Beijing, only Li Shun and Defan took care of the grace of heaven in vain, harbored evil intentions, and wanted to do reckless things. ”

Although Wu Sangui sent a letter to beg for thieves, but his army and horses were only 30,000, and Dolgon was busy with the collection of Hong Chengchou's officers and troops, only ordered Wuying County King Azig to lead more than 10,000 troops to camp between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to show support, Wu Sangui was also taken in the Jingbei army, and thought that Shanhaiguan was impregnable, so he still guarded the city after announcing that he wanted to avenge Chongzhen, and was not in a hurry to send troops to Beijing.

Jingshi is only more than 600 miles away from Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui refused to obey the edict, and righteously declared that he wanted to use Dongyu to avenge Chongzhen, and the news soon spread to the queen of Jingshi.

Li Xingzhi resolutely issued a military order to march into Shanhaiguan, because he knew that he could not delay any longer, and he must take Shanhaiguan, the gateway of the Beijing Division, before Dolgon freed up his hand, otherwise once Wu Sangui chose to take refuge in the Dongjiao, the Jingshi would be under the feet of the Manchurians.

On the sixth day of November in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Xingzhi swore in Tongzhou, and announced Wu Sangui's four major crimes in the name of the imperial court. The second crime: corruption, Liaodong has a military salary of 4 million a year, and only 30,000 military horses remain; The third crime: did not save Jinzhou, abandoned the chief official and fled to Shanhaiguan; The fourth crime: colluding with the Eastern captives, he is actually a traitor and traitor. As the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Duke of Qi in the internal and external military affairs of the Governor, he naturally has the right to eliminate rebellion for the imperial court.

In fact, both Li Xingzhi and Wu Sangui knew that all war of words was meaningless, and the results had to be seen on the battlefield.
