According to the agreement between the two parties, the first batch of 10 million taels of silver and 200,000 quintals of grain were transported to Shanhaiguan at the end of the year, and another 10 million taels and 300,000 quintals of grain were paid at the end of the year, and the remaining three years were paid.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, having grain and silver is equivalent to having everything, and ordered Wang Chengen to put all the grain and silver on the account and hoard them in Shanhaiguan.

Then he took out 500,000 taels of silver and paid the 50,000 troops, especially the 30,000 newly recruited horses.

Therefore, the 80,000 Ming troops, whether they are veterans or newly recruited soldiers and horses, are extremely stable and their morale is unprecedentedly high.

Then Chongzhen allocated 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 quintals of grain to Wang Xin'an, the prefect of Yongping, for relief of the refugees who had been gathering in a steady stream, to support more than 10,000 prisoners of war, and for post-war reconstruction, etc., which of course required food and silver.

Chongzhen sent the general Li Dabao to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to take over Ningyuan City and rebuild the Ningyuan defense line. 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 quintals of grain were allocated to him. Of course, it costs money to build a defense line in Ningyuan, and logistical supplies such as grain, grass, and silver must keep up.

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, Zu Dale Zu Dabi died in battle, their brothers were originally stationed in Ningyuan City after Wu Sangui retreated into the pass, Dolgon transferred their brothers away, to Shanhaiguan to fight, so now Ningyuan City has the Qing prince Jierharang led the troops to garrison.

Zilharang is the same generation as Dolgon, the nephew of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, and he is also a super fierce man who has repeatedly defeated the Ming army in history.

According to the treaty, the Qing army contracted and retreated to the area of Songshan and Jinzhou. After Jierharang led the men and horses to retreat, Li Dabao took over Ningyuan City very smoothly.

In response, Chongzhen released the first batch of prisoners of war, including Ao Bai, the first warrior of Manchuria, and ***3,000 coolies who were working out in Yongping, and released them back to the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon is still held in Shanhaiguan, and the remaining 9,000 *** prisoners of war are still working as coolies in the Yongping area for post-war reconstruction.

Chongzhen also intends to release these prisoners of war in stages, and the more than 9,000 people in Dolgon will be released at the end of the year or the next year, depending on the compensation of the Qing Dynasty.

It was the end of May in the lunar calendar of 1644.

At this time, the night in the pass did not come to report the situation of Li Zicheng and the Qing-Wu coalition army......

After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng's Dashun army was defeated all the way, and under Chongzhen's strategy, Wu Sangui and Duoduo, Azig led the Qing Wu coalition army to chase and kill non-stop, not giving Li Zicheng's men and horses a chance to breathe.

Li Zicheng was annoyed and angry, and killed dozens of Wu Sangui's family, young and old, in Fanjiazhuang.

The heads of Wu Xiang and others were hung at the entrance of Fanjiazhuang Village.

Wu Sangui's men and horses chased to Fan Zhuang and set up camp.

Wu Sangui hugged the corpses of Wu Xiang and others and cried, telling the soldiers and horses to stop and rest.

Wu Sangui buried his father and dozens of other members of his family on the spot and handled the funeral here.

Of course, Duoduo and Azig will not cry with Wu Sangui, they will continue to rob in this area with tens of thousands of ***.

After burying his father and mother, Wu Sangui continued to chase and kill Li Zicheng, this time he hated it even more, he couldn't wait to annihilate the Dashun army in one fell swoop, he couldn't wait to catch Li Zicheng, and break his body into thousands of pieces to avenge his father and mother, and chased him all the way to the Gyeonggi area.

It's basically the same as it was in history.

However, unlike history, the 40,000 Qing-Wu coalition forces lost Dolgon's behind-the-scenes command and logistical supply, and the speed of pursuit was somewhat slow.

Wu Sangui, Duoduo, and Azig only relied on barrage to obtain supplies, and the common people along the way fled from the war and fled to death, so what they looted was limited.

They had no choice but to expand their range and loot everywhere to get supplies.

In this way, the speed of the pursuit will naturally be slow.

But Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses basically fought one battle and lost another, and this rhythm was exactly the same as in history.

The Dashun army, which had thousands of troops on the battlefield, could not defeat the Qing and Wu coalition forces.

In the battle between the martial arts masters hired by the two sides, Li Zicheng did not have an advantage.

Although there are many martial arts masters invited by Li Zicheng, including the four famous monks of Shaolin, the Wudang faction, the Heaven and Earth Sect, and the Wild Wolf Gang, etc., they still can't beat the masters of the White Lotus Sect invited by Wu Sangui.

Therefore, Li Zicheng has been defeated and retreated to the area of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty, and he has not gained a firm foothold.

Thanks to Li Yan, who stayed in the capital, he personally brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet him, and he joined forces with Li Zicheng's troops to temporarily repel the pursuit of the Qing-Wu coalition army.

Li Zicheng retreated to the capital (Beijing) with the remnants of the defeated army, and then the Qing-Wu coalition army chased to the area of the capital.

But at this time, Niu Jinxing had not forgotten to let Li Zicheng re-ascend the throne in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng even agreed.

Coupled with the troops left behind by Li Yan and the men and horses that Li Zicheng came back from, the Dashun army still had more than 100,000 horses in the area of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Hebei are all spheres of influence of the Dashun Army.

Overall, the Dashun army is still unharmed.

This also made Li Zicheng feel that he was qualified to re-ascend the throne here.
