The anger that had been accumulating for three years finally exploded at this moment!

It's not that Chongzhen City is not enough, at most, it can only be said that the blood of a young man has not faded in Chongzhen.

If Chongzhen in history just felt that the Donglin people were a little empty and aggressive, then Chongzhen in this time and space realized more clearly that the Donglin people were forcing him to death step by step.

Chongzhen in history didn't realize this until he was dying. But in this time and space, because of Qin Shuhuai's appearance, he realized this earlier.

Therefore, in history, when he was dissatisfied with Donglin, the most he could do was to remove the head and replace the cabinet, but now, he has the intention to kill!

He's had enough!

Zhou Yanru couldn't have imagined that Chongzhen would attack him, the leader of the Donglin Party, at this time!

Doesn't the emperor want to get rid of Qin Shuhuai? Isn't he afraid of Donglin's counterattack? If there is chaos today, if Donglin raises his arms and shouts, and the governors of various places do not obey the emperor's orders, will he still be able to sit firmly?

Zhou Yanru couldn't figure it out.

Not only did he not understand, but Wang Dehua, who had been standing behind Chongzhen, couldn't figure it out either!

After Zhou Yanru, Zhao Yan, and Chen Shang were dragged down, Wang Dehua walked up to Chongzhen and cautiously reminded, "The emperor thinks twice!"

The situation in the court, these eunuchs sometimes see it more clearly than the ministers. If Zhou Yanru is really killed, the governors of Donglin will inevitably rebound, and then the Ming Dynasty will be even more stormy.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and waved weakly at Wang Dehua, signaling him not to disturb him.

Wang Dehua had no choice but to step aside, sighing slightly in his heart.

In Pingliang, Qin Shuhuai received an urgent report from the White Lotus Sect outside the Guan. Although it was an urgent report, it was sent ten days ago, and the content was that Houjin was gathering a large army and seemed to be going south to attack Ming again.

Qin Shuhuai estimated that Houjin should have already started the army at this time.

Where will they come from? From Thistle, of course!

If it is from Ningjin and Shanhaiguan, then Houjin's intentions are nothing more than two, one is to expand the territory, and the other is to defeat the Guanning army, and then enter the Central Plains.

But do they now have the need to expand their territory? Not at all! Fighting with the Guanning army and capturing Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and other places has no significance to the current Houjin. Because they have few people, their black soil has not been developed, why do they go to occupy land after so many people die?

As for entering the Central Plains, the current Huang Taiji may have this ambition, but just think about it, how can he not be crazy enough to really implement it. Compared with Houjin, Mingguo is like an elephant, and if Houjin wants to conquer this elephant, it is only possible to wait for the organs in the elephant's body to rot first, and the rotten one can no longer stand up. Therefore, before the Demon Sect and the Liukou did not completely toss the Zhu family to death, he would definitely not have this extravagant dream.

Since it is impossible for Huang Taiji to have either of these intentions, why did he go to such lengths to come from Liaodong?

The economic crisis and food crisis in Houjin are very serious, so the purpose of their southern expedition this time is to grab money and grain! What they didn't grab last time, this time they plan to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to grab enough at once!

So it's almost certain that they'll still be coming from Thistletown. From there, they can avoid the strong Jinning and Shanhaiguan defense lines, reduce casualties, and quickly break into the Central Plains, grab a handful and leave! Moreover, they have been to Jizhen once and destroyed a lot of fortifications, many of which have not been repaired until now, which is convenient! Moreover, they are familiar with the road!

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai immediately gave Chongzhen a twist and asked him to immediately transfer the main force of the Guanning Army to Jizhen to deploy defenses. It was sent to Jingshi at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

Qin Shuhuai guessed correctly.

Thousands of miles away in Shenyang, the Houjin army has already been mobilized. An expeditionary army composed of 80,000 Houjin elites and 30,000 soldiers, led by Huang Taiji himself, headed westward.

Their plan is the same as last time. First went to the Mongolian tribes to "borrow troops", and then "borrowed the road", and crossed the Great Wall from Jizhen again. Obviously, they don't want to entangle with the Guanning army in Ningjin and Shanhaiguan, they just want to quickly break into the Central Plains, and then take advantage of the chaos to loot, of course, if they can occupy a few important cities in Jizhen, it would be better to lay a foundation for the future.

Qin Shuhuai felt that time was getting tighter and tighter. In the vicinity of Gyeonggi, including the Guanning Army in Liaodong, 40,000 elites have been transferred over, and if Huang Taiji breaks into Jizhen and he has no way to return to the division to save it, then the "Jisi Change" in history is likely to be only delayed for a year.

And this time, the harm may be greater than in history. Houjin did come to grab money and grain, but once they defeated the Guanning army and the Wang Shi near Gyeonggi, would they still be willing to leave?

In history, Chongzhen was able to summon King Qin's army, and finally beat Houjin away, but now? Liukou is raging and the Demon Sect is rampant, where can he find soldiers?

At that time, a series of chain reactions will unfold, and Da Ming is likely to really die like this! As soon as Da Ming dies, who will he go to for the position of Governor of Dongchang?

After thinking about it, he decided to immediately lead the army south and march into Baoji and Hanzhong. These two places are located near the junction of southern Shaanxi and Gansu, so that the official army can be stationed there, firstly, to block the connection between the Demon Sect and Gao Yingxiang in southern Shaanxi, and secondly, to cooperate with the Xi'an Heren Dragon Department to exterminate Gao Yingxiang together.

As soon as Gao Yingxiang is destroyed, the Demon Sect will only be left with Zhang Xianzhong's "support", and it will be much more reassuring to go back when the time comes.

The idea was certain, and the next day he would lead the army out.

In Pingliang, he asked Hong Chengchou to take 30,000 people to stay, and he took the rest of the soldiers and horses with him.

In this way, the soldiers and horses in his hands have 110,000 Wulin coalition troops, more than 30,000 soldiers brought from Lanzhou City, and a total army of more than 140,000 people.

From Pingliang to Baoji, about 300 miles. The army marched rapidly for two days and two nights and successfully arrived in Baoji.

After arriving in Baoji, trim for a day. The next day, Qin Shuhuai made He Kegang the main general, Zhang Xiao as the deputy general, Meng Wei, Li Jingting, and Pigou as the generals, and took 50,000 Wulin coalition troops, 10,000 Gansu soldiers, and 1,000 Guanning troops to Hanzhong. When he went, he brought the governor's order that Hong Chengchou had already prepared, and asked the Hanzhong guard to obey He Kegang's orders.

He Kegang immediately led the order to set out on the expedition. Although he is not a martial arts person, as a fierce general of the Guanning Army, like Zhao Shujiao, he is also quite respected in the martial arts, so no one disagrees with him when he leads the troops. Besides, the martial arts coalition army has never fought, and I wish there was a senior general to take them.

However, Qin Shuhuai still sent a leather dog over for the sake of insurance. Because many of the martial arts alliance troops were trained by Pi Gou and the Qinglong Hall under Pi Gou, he issued military orders that were more helpful to He Kegang.

Baoji to Hanzhong is almost more than 300 miles, after two days and two nights of marching, He Kegang's department also successfully arrived in Hanzhong, and took over the military power of Hanzhong. Hanzhong originally had 8,000 defenders, so He Kegang had nearly 70,000 troops in his hands.
