……

Shanxi, Taiyuan Province.

After Jingle defeated the remnants of the blue flag and the Han army with the red flag, the camp returned to the Lou Fu Inspection Division again.

Zhang Tianlin personally led the team to settle in Lou Fu, and Zhang Neng led his troops to be stationed in Lan County.

In order to prevent the Qing army from attacking from Shuozhou and other places.

Ke Tianxiang and Li Laiheng were the Qing soldiers who cleaned up the rout in Jingle and Lanxian.

Of the Qing soldiers who came to attack this time, only more than 8,000 surrendered.

In addition to the more than 2,000 people annihilated, more than 10,000 people became deserters.

Most of them are scattered in Jingle and Lanzhou.

Some of them may run back to the Qing army, but I am afraid that there will still be a lot of routs left in the local area.

It is very unsafe for the camp to let these routs stay in the rear.

Therefore, the task of Ke Tianxiang and Li Laiheng is to clear the rout of the troops in places such as Qilan and Jingle.

Those who can be incorporated will be co-opted, and those who cannot be co-opted can only be killed.

Overall, the plan to lure the enemy into the depths was a perfect success.

All they had to do now was rearrange their defenses and wait for the next attack from the Tartars.

However, Lao Zhu estimated that the next attack of the Tartars would definitely be very fast, including reinforcements.

In the following days, Chen Yongfu, who was in Taiyuan City, learned that the camp had disabled the Qing soldiers.

The morale of the military and civilians in the whole city was greatly boosted!

The confidence to defend Taiyuan is even stronger!

In addition, under Zhang Tianlin's urging from time to time, Tian Jianxiu, who was guarding Pingyang Mansion, finally drove the troops to Lingshi.

At this moment, the three troops of Chen Yongfu and Lingshi in Taiyuan City completely formed a flank attack on the Qing army.

As long as Ye Chen dared to lead his troops to attack Taiyuan City, Guo Ying and Tian Jianxiu, who were guarding the left and right sides, would be able to directly attack their flanks.

So that the Qing army did not dare to attack Taiyuan City at all.

He could only retreat twenty miles back, set up camp, and wait for reinforcements from Duoyi.

In the face of the retreat of the Qing army, Guo Ying did not take the initiative to attack.

Because all the troops of Dashun in Shanxi add up to more than 50,000 people.

It was only half of the Qing army on the other side.

It's okay to let them defend, but I'm afraid that even if they die, they may not be able to defeat the Qing army's camp.

And at this moment, they have just defeated the two Eight Banners, and the Qing army should have been vigilant for a long time.

If we had attacked, they might have dug a trap for us to enter.

Now it's better to step up the deployment of defenses and wait for the next more fierce attack of the Qing army.

Time.

The Hedong battlefield was quiet, and both sides were waiting quietly.

This strange scene made other states and counties in Shanxi that had just surrendered to the Qing army worried.

They had just surrendered to the Tartars, and the Tartars were defeated.

Could it be that in the end, it will be the Shun army that wins?

At this moment, the prefectures and counties in Shanxi that surrendered to the Qing army have privately ordered people to build the banner of Dashun.

In order not to fight back in Dashun, they can quickly return to Dashun.

But now more places are still watching.

No real action was taken.

Because they can't tell whether this is a return to the light of Dashun or a counterattack.

Everything depends on whether Dashun can arrive and live, and the next attack of the Qing army!

As a result, the whole Shanxi was completely quiet.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Qing army......

……

Shaanxi, Xijing (Xi'an).

After a two-month trip to Shuntian, the Great Shun Emperor Li Zicheng finally returned to the capital of his most loyal ministers.

Xijing, Chang'an Mansion.

This is Li Zicheng after he became emperor in Beijing, and changed the Xi'an Mansion he started to Chang'an Mansion.

It is set as one of the five capitals of Dashun, Xijing City.

The remaining ones are Beijing Chengtian Mansion (the former Shuntian Mansion), Shengjing Mizhi Mansion (Li Zicheng's birthplace), Tokyo Luoyang Mansion, Nanjing Xiangyang Mansion, Nanjing Jianye Mansion (that is, Yingtian Mansion still in the hands of Nanming).

Don't ask why there are six capitals, because isn't it normal to have six in five capitals?

Ahem, back to business.

After Li Zicheng returned to Chang'an Mansion, he first solemnly arranged the funeral of Gu Yinghe and the generals who died in Shanhaiguan.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the requisition of troops from Shaanxi and Gansu.

and issued an edict to mobilize the army of King Qin, even if it was Liu Tichun, Bai Wang and others who were still dealing with Zuo Liangyu in Huguang, Li Zicheng asked them to transfer half of the army to King Qin.

Almost all the high-ranking generals of Dashun received orders to return to Shaanxi as soon as possible.

Now that Li Zicheng finally understands the power of the Tartars, he already knew that he would bring more troops.

It's too late to regret it.

And just when Li Zicheng ordered the troops to hold the major passes in Shaanxi.

The news of the Qing army's defeat in Shanxi came.

The arrival of this news instantly made Li Zicheng excited.

He was worried about the low morale of the army after the Battle of One Stone.

Now that there is such good news, isn't that just inspiring!

So, Li Zicheng directly ordered Niu Jinxing to urgently convene a court meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows the news of the defeat of the Tartars in Shanxi, right?"

"What does this prove? This proves that my Dashun is still destiny! ”

"The defeat at Shanhaiguan was just our carelessness to underestimate the enemy, so it led to the success of the Tartar sneak attack."

"Now that my Dashun has fully reacted, when we reconvene the soldiers and horses of each battalion, are you still afraid that we won't be able to re-defeat the Tartars outside the gate?!"

Li Zicheng's words can be described as enthusiastic.

Not only were the ministers of the temple infected by the faith in his words, but even he himself believed.

The Mandate of Heaven is really still in Dashun!

"Your Majesty!"

"The last general also thinks so, Tartar is a villain at all, but he can get away with defeating us when I am tired from the defeat of Shuntian just now."

"Now that I'm Dashun reacting, they really show their prototypes."

Liu Zongmin, who was injured in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, took the body he had just raised and said to the ministers with a scolding at this moment.

"Zhang Tianlin, they defeated the Qing soldiers twice as large as them with more than 10,000 people, and they completely annihilated the two Tartars, which is enough to prove the true strength of my Dashun!!"

"Next, as long as we regroup our troops, we will definitely be able to drive the Tartars back to the steppe in one go!!"

"That's right! That's right! Your Majesty and General Liu are right! ”

"What is a Tartar, just a villain!"

"When we fight back, we will definitely be able to defeat it for a thousand miles!!"

"The amount is also ......"

“……”

As soon as Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin said this, the ministers in the hall instantly echoed it.

Before, they were still worried about whether Dashun could withstand the attack of the Qing army.

But now they think that Dashun will definitely be able to resist, and it is very likely that they will fight back.

That's the hope that comes with this victory.

Just when the ministers in the palace were excited.

Suddenly!

A voice broke the heated atmosphere.

"Report --!"

"The prince of the Qing army, Azig, has led his troops to march to Yanbian!"
