At the same time that the Qing court transferred the Korean army back to Shengjing, the good news of Liaoyang was also sent to Jiangning City with a quick whip, causing a sensation.

This is not a small fight, the first battle killed the enemy two county kings, as well as dozens of Belle Bezi, more than 8,000 Manchurian soldiers, if this is placed in the Ming Dynasty, maybe it can be prepared by the emperor for the ceremony, to comfort the great victory of the Taimiao.

Although Su Yan is not so exaggerated, it is also a dragon's face, combined with the good news that Su Ci sent before that he had not yet announced what reward he would give, Su Yan was ready to give it all at once.

It is worth mentioning that although Su Dingyuan thought that he should not accept the reward, Su Yan did not listen to him, and still rewarded the two of them.

However, Su Ci and Su Dingyuan have already been ranked as the princes of the country, and if they continue, they will be the princes of the county, although the two of them are also members of the clan, it is a little inappropriate to be crowned kings so easily, Su Yan is ready to wait for them to destroy the Qing court, and then officially make them kings.

After some discussion between the DPRK and China, the rewards given to the front-line soldiers quickly came to fruition, Su Ci and Su Dingyuan's titles remained unchanged, a thousand taels of silver were rewarded, and one was given to each of the Jingshi Mansions and ten beauties.

Ruan Jin, who performed extremely well in the war, was promoted to the Marquis of Danghu and awarded the post of commander of Liaodong, his younger brother Jinghai General Ruan Mei was awarded the post of deputy general of Liaodong, and his son Yingyi General Ruan Jun was promoted to the commander of the Jinwu avant-garde.

In addition, Zhou Hezhi, the Marquis of Pingyi, was awarded the post of commander of Shanxi, and Ma Tai, the chief soldier of Zhongzhen, was awarded the post of commander of Shaanxi, and the rest of the cadres were rewarded with different amounts of silver.

After the reward, considering that the first town and the third town suffered a lot of casualties in the battle of Liaoyang, Su Yan decided to transfer the new army formed in Shandong to Liaodong to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but only a month has passed since the formation of the new army, and the recruited soldiers are not full, so he issued an order to ask Su Ci and Su Dingyuan to hold on to Liaoyang for another month.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Qing court from transferring the Korean army back to Liaodong to encircle and suppress the Xia army, Su Yan drafted a holy decree and sent it to Korea, asking Su Fu to lead the army north, on the one hand, to organize the Qing army to retreat north, on the other hand, if it did not catch up, he would directly go north to attack Shengjing and rush to the aid of Su Dingyuan.

The war in Liaodong was in full swing, and the Xia army also made varying degrees of progress in several other battlefields.

On the Annam side, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, after accepting the second town from Liangguang for reinforcements, broke through the defense line of Zheng Zhu of Annam with great momentum, and fought all the way to the city of Tokyo, the capital of Annam.

After taking over the second town, Li Dingguo felt the thrill of fierce firepower for the first time, where could the Annan army defeat the Xia army, which was equipped with Type II rifles, and was defeated under the volley of the Xia army.

Even Bai Wenxuan, who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but be amazed by the firepower of the second town, and he said to Li Dingguo: "Xia Jun is known for his sharp firearms, I have only heard of it before, and I have never seen it with my own eyes.

With the help of the Second Town, Li Dingguo led his army to besiege the city of Tokyo in mid-July, and the Xia army shelled the walls of Tokyo City day and night with artillery.

This can be traced back to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the Li Dynasty repelled the independence of the Ming army, because the Red River Delta is low, floods are frequent, in order to prevent the flood invasion, the Li Dynasty at that time was also called the capital of Tokyo City to build a vast area, layers of fortified city walls, these several city walls have been preserved to this day, but did not expect not only to resist the flood invasion, but also to resist the Xia army a piece of outside.

The rumbling artillery fire of the Xia army made the Li Dynasty monarchs and ministers in Tokyo panic, and the Li Dynasty king Li Weiqi wanted to open the city and surrender, but the military affairs in the city were controlled by Zheng Jie, the lord of Zheng, and Zheng Jie's people inside and outside the palace, even if he wanted to surrender, he was powerless.

Li Weiqi listened to the sound of artillery outside the city, trembling uncontrollably, although he had experienced a coup d'état before, and took back the throne (Annan is the inner emperor and the outer king, and there is nothing wrong with calling the throne) from his son, the coup was also full of swords and swords, full of blood.

But it was not the same time, it was Annan's internal affairs, he knew that no matter what the outcome of the coup d'état, he could save his life, and his son was seriously ill and about to die at that time, but now the enemy was a behemoth in the north

Once the Xia army invaded the city, his fate was in the hands of the Han Chinese.

No matter how frightened Li Weiqi was, the Xia army's offensive was still ongoing, and after a day and a night of shelling, the Xia army successfully collapsed a city wall and entered the city along the gap, engaging in a tragic street battle with the Annan official army led by Zheng Jie.

Li Dingguo originally thought that the Xia army was good at firearms and neglected close combat, and he also wanted to let his descendants come forward with swords and shields, but who would have thought that the officers and soldiers of the second town actually used only a combination of rifles and bayonets to defeat the Annan officers and troops deployed in the city.

The Xia army drove all the way in, and the city was full of gunfire, and Zheng Jie, the lord of Zheng, saw that the general trend had gone, and he didn't care about rushing into the palace to take Li Weiqi with him, so he directly led dozens of horsemen to the south to break through and escape.

The battle in Tokyo lasted less than a day before it was over, and the Annam army fled in all directions, and the Xia army easily took control of the city, and the several walls built in the early days of the Li Dynasty did not play their role except for the initial obstruction of the Xia army.

The Xia army took control of the whole city, and without any resistance, they stormed the Forbidden City (the pirated Forbidden City of the Later Li Dynasty), and captured alive the Li Dynasty king Li Weiqi who was hiding under the lotus leaves of the pond.

Although Li Weiqi was the nominal ruler of the Kingdom of Annan, Li Dingguo did not treat him favorably, and he directly ordered Li Weiqi and the harem concubines to be loaded into a car and escorted to Jiangning for the emperor's personal disposal.

The Xia army's capture of the city of Tokyo and the king's move to Jiangning once again caused panic in Annam, and people everywhere spontaneously organized themselves to resist the Xia army.

In the more than three months from the capture of Tokyo by the Xia army in mid-July to the arrival of the Liaodong victory in Jiangning in early November, the Xia army slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Annam, killing people and completely crushing the courage of the Annamite people to resist.

In the past three months, the Xia army also went all the way south, successively defeating several lines of defense organized by Zheng Jie, and directly killing Zheng Jie's himself on the battlefield.

By the beginning of November, the Xia army had completely occupied the northern part of Annam, and the former powerful Zheng lord only retained the town of Nghe An and the Anh capital province, which was sandwiched between the Xia army and the Nguyen lord, and it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.
