Chapter 240: The King of the World (3)

Wakda led a group of remnants of the defeated army to retreat from Taiyuan City, marking the complete recovery of Taiyuan City by the Ming army.

After the battle, Ling Jingyang and his generals did not rush into Taiyuan City, in the face of absolute strength, his soldiers and horses were not as strong as Jiang Huang, in order to avoid contradictions with Jiang Huang, he and Leng Rutie ordered, give up entering Taiyuan City, quickly go to the county near Taiyuan City, occupy more cities, do not be surrounded by Jiang Huang in Taiyuan City.

Leng Rutie led the troops and horses of the headquarters to the county near Taiyuan City, the Qing army near Taiyuan City had already run away, and those who did not retreat also surrendered to the Ming army, Leng Rutie occupied the three cities of Yuci, Qingyuan and Xugou on the south side of Taiyuan City in a short time.

And Jiang Huang also asked Jiang Rang to capture more than ten county towns in the east and north of Taiyuan City, and expelled all the remnants of the Qing army near Taiyuan City.

The day after Leng Rutie occupied Yuci City, Ling Jingyang took Zhu Youzhen to settle in Yuci City, Jiang Liang didn't take Zhu Youzhen to heart, this is a hot potato, and if he put it in his hand, he was attacked by other forces, so he threw it to Ling Jingyang.

He reorganized the green battalion soldiers in Taiyuan City, almost all of the 6,000 green battalion soldiers in the city were anyway, more than 4,000 people became Jiang Huang's subordinates, and more than 1,000 people followed Ling Jingyang to Yuci City and became the new force of Ling Jingyang's troops.

Ling Jingyang was not carried away by the victory, and let Li Rufeng take on the bridge of communication with Jiang Xuan, and suggested that the two armies expel the Qing army forces in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture, and then quickly rush to the aid of the Dashun army in Datong Prefecture.

This is a very good suggestion, Jiang Xuan asked Jiang Xuan to bring a message to Li Rufeng, in the name of His Majesty, ordered Jiang Xuan, the governor of Shanxi, and the governor of the five armies to Ling Jingyang, lead the troops to aid Datong Mansion, and expel Jiannu with the Dashun army, and announce the holy decree to the world, making the momentum as loud as possible.

Ling Jingyang did not object, and actively formed a reinforcement army in the city to aid Datong Mansion, and asked Lao Mantou to build a palace for Emperor Chongzhen, at least the row should be done enough, which can be used to attract more forces.

The two reached an agreement again, Ling Jingyang led the Iron Fist Battalion, Dong Daqi, and Murong Tu were stationed in Yuci City, and other soldiers and horses attacked the Qing army in other parts of Taiyuan City.

The two armies fought in the east and west in Taiyuan Prefecture, and Ling Jingyang secretly ordered the generals of all departments to do their best to recruit soldiers and civilians to surrender after capturing the county seat, and at the same time let the cavalry battalion divide part of the soldiers and horses to receive Wang Mu and others to Yuci City.

With the joint cooperation of Jiang Hao and Ling Jingyang's main force, it only took ten days for the Qing army to fall apart in Taiyuan Mansion, and the entire territory of Taiyuan Mansion was restored.

This news soon spread to the north and south of the river, and after Li Zicheng, Dolgon, and Emperor Hongguang (Emperor Nanming) heard it, their performance was very different.

Soon after, the latest news came, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen issued an order, the governor of Shanxi Jiang Xuan, and the governor of the five armies, Ling Jingyang, waved his troops north to Datong Mansion, and joined hands with the Shun army to attack Jiannu, and ordered the world's soldiers and horses to arrive at King Qin in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

When Dolgon saw this urgent information from Taiyuan Mansion, his hands paused in the air, he didn't know what to say, how long had the Qing army captured the capital, he thought that Zhu Youzhen had died in the chaos, but he didn't know that this damn emperor was alive again.

This made him unite with the small court plan of the Ming Dynasty in Tianfu to go bankrupt, and the heroes who defected to the Qing Dynasty from all over the country also turned against the water, just like when the Dashun army was defeated by the Qing army, and the Ming army attacked and killed the Dashun army in various places, the Qing army was stationed in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan and other places by the rebels from all over the country, and the green battalion soldiers attacked wildly, with many casualties, relying on the strong Eight Banners and iron-blooded suppression, and finally quelled the first wave of large-scale resistance.

But what should we do next, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others are not in the capital at this time, only Dabeile Daishan and him give advice, Daishan asks him to shrink the front, don't repeat the mistake of Li Zicheng after entering the capital, the defeat of Shanhaiguan, which led to the collapse of the whole army.

Dolgon saw that Dai Shan had the intention of retreating: "Big Belle, you are not your style?" ”

"Regent, we can't be a living target for the unity of the Ming people, at this time, wouldn't it be better to retreat a little bit and let the Ming people continue to fight?"

A good move to retreat as an advance, Dolgon couldn't help but applaud after hearing it, Dai Shan said: "After I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I have obtained countless materials, and there are tens of millions of people, if Dashun and Daming join forces, our army can not hold Beizhili and other places, these people and materials can be withdrawn to the outside of the pass." ”

Dolgon nodded, and Dai Shan said: "And our army only needs to hold the Shanhai Pass, wait for the Ming army and the Dashun army to fight and divide the victory and defeat, and once again enter the customs from Shanhaiguan and dominate the world." ”

"Well, Da Beile is reasonable, and the small court of the Ming people of Yingtianfu, and the Daxi court of Zhang Xianzhong in the land of Bashu, all covet this throne, don't you really say it, this Ming infighting is still a little interesting, just listen to Da Baylor's words, the soldiers and horses of all departments shrink the front, recruit troops and grain in the occupied areas, and keep the road open until the retreat, it won't be long before we can sit down and watch the Ming people sing a big show."

The two brothers laughed heartily, and on the second day, Dolgon summoned the civil and military ministers in the capital, and told everyone what he meant, and everyone objected and agreed, and finally they all followed Dolgon's will and sent the resources and people in the pass to the outside of the pass first.

Dolgon also ordered the Qing army in Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong to expand the troops and horses in the local area, as for the Shanxi battlefield, Dolgon did not give up, and had to make an appearance, and ordered Wu Sangui and other green battalions to attack the mountain.

This is very vicious, forcing Wu Sangui, Gao Di and others to surrender to the Qing Army, the Ming army fell to the Qing Dynasty, if Wu Sangui and others did not obey, they ordered the Eight Banners who were behind to supervise the battle, quickly disarm the green battalion soldiers who refused to attack the Ming army, kill the generals above the middle level, and completely master these green battalion soldiers.

The Qing army retreated as an advance, and Li Zicheng, who was in Shaanxi, learned that Zhu Youzhen was still alive, and thought it was fake news at first, but later when he heard that Jiang Hao and Ling Jingyang were both around Zhu Youzhen, one was appointed as the governor of Shanxi, and the other was appointed as the governor of the five armies, which made Li Zicheng feel a little trance, isn't this Ling Jingyang a junior general under his command?

How did he become the governor of Zhu Youzhen's five armies in the blink of an eye, but the military advisor Song Xiance congratulated him, and Li Zicheng couldn't help asking: "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhu Youzhen is still alive, and the Qing army entered the customs under the banner of revenge for him, so it will not get a response from the local heroes, and he ordered to join hands with our army, which can give our army time to breathe."
