Since the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He first became Huang Taiji's aide, and then was valued by Dorgon. He was regarded as an extremely important Han minister in the Qing Dynasty.

Now that Li Dingguo is attacking Zhongwei City, 20,000 Qing soldiers are captured, Boluo is captured, and Hong Chengchou is killed. The Qing Dynasty's plan to be shattered in Ningxia is instantly beaten.

After Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Yanchi and Anding Fort, received the news, he had no desire to fight. He hurriedly retreated to Helan with his troops, and then fled from Helan to Wuhai from Helan.

As soon as Wu Sangui fled, the Qing army in Ningxia was wiped out, and the local prefectures and counties had no more strength. Li Dingguo and Aineng's troops were divided into two groups, and they opened their doors to surrender wherever they went. Soon the Chinese army recaptured the entire Ningxia along both sides of the Yellow River.

At the end of October, Wan Jun received the news from Zhang Sheng and had to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible. Wan Jun ordered Ainengqi to station in Yinchuan and defend the front line of the Great Wall. Li Dingguo returned to Zhongwei and defended against the direction of Lanzhou.

Wan Jun hurried back to Chang'an with Cui Ziyi. The old Qin Palace was transformed into the head of state, and now the highest power center of the empire. Zhang Sheng, Wen Anzhi and others gathered in the Chengtian Palace in the mansion.

Zhang Sheng's intelligence involves a lot of information, and most of them have been discussed and dealt with by several other pillars when Wan Jun is away. Only the most important things must be decided by Wan Jun.

One is news from Shanxi. After Jiang Yan cut his braids and opposed the Qing Dynasty, he claimed to be the general of Xinghan and fought against Ajige in Datong Prefecture. After being defeated, he could only hide in Datong City. In October, he was killed by his subordinate Yang Zhenwei. The Qing soldiers took the Datong Prefecture. Then the Qing army went south to Taiyuan Prefecture and fought against Li Guo's Chinese Army.

One was the news that was sent back from Guangdong. The Chinese Army envoy said that he surrendered to Zhu Chenggong. In early October, Zhu Chenggong officially sent troops to the Southeast Island under the banner of the Chinese Army.

One is news about Anqing. Jiergalang failed to conquer Anqing for a long time, and his troops withdrew from Nanjing. Zhao Boyuan asked to send troops to seize Nanjing.

Zheng Chenggong's regaining Taiwan was the least worrying thing for the troops. Now Zheng Chenggong sent troops more than ten years earlier than the time of regaining Taiwan in history. The Dutch were shorter on Taiwan Island. At this time, the defense of Rezhalan City was definitely weaker, and Zheng Chenggong's troops were enough to deal with it.

Anqing's affairs are quite difficult. Jiangnan is a mess. All the gentry were spoiled by the Ming court. The last time the Chinese army entered Jiangnan, I had already experienced it myself.

As the saying goes, no one can establish, according to the idea of ​​Wanjun, the Qing Dynasty was still asked to pull out the thorns and the Chinese army picked up the ready-made ones. However, Zhao Boyuan's clan brother Zhao Boji was still in Jiangyin. Jiangyin Gucheng has been holding on for nearly two years since the rebellion of the gentry.

Zhao Boyuan came to the letter, fortunately, our army's warships were sharp and the Hu people could not stop them. With the fleet's supply, the Hu people's siege strategy could not be taken down for the time being.

The Qing soldiers went to Jiangnan for the second time, but they were not polite to these corrupt gentry. However, Wan Jun did not want to play tricks with these people. "Anqing is not our main attack direction. Jiangyin's affairs must be solved. Then, hand over the Yangtze River fleet to Zhao Boyuan. If you can rely on the river transportation, increase the transportation volume of the river and let Jiangyin hold on for a while. If it doesn't work, use the fleet to withdraw it."

"As for this Shanxi!"

The situation in Shanxi has changed the most. According to historical progress, Jiang Qin from Shanxi will not raise an army until December this year to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. After Datong rebels against the Qing Dynasty, he must persist until October next year at least. But the current situation is that Datong has raised its flag to rebel in May, which is seven months earlier.

It's only October now, and the anti-Qing army in Datong only insists on

In five months, Jiang Yan had already died, a year earlier than the defeat in history.

The spread of new firearms technology began to appear. The Qing soldiers captured craftsmen from Lucheng and obtained many new firearms from the Chinese army. Wuzhenchao Ha Camp's combat effectiveness was stronger than before, and Jiang Yuan from Datong was solved in five months.

Compared with the other two news, the changes in Shanxi are the most worrying about Wan Jun. How much did the Qing Dynasty digest new firearms and how much equipment was in her hands.

"I'm afraid the battle in Shanxi is difficult to fight!"

Wan Jun said, "Have you found out clearly? How many Qing soldiers are there in Shanxi?"

Zhang Shengdao, "Information says that there are about 35,000 Eight Banners, 20,000 Eight Banners, 40,000 Eight Banners, and about 180,000 Green Camps."

Wan Jun said, "Eighteen thousand, counting nearly twenty-eight thousand."

Zhang Shengdao, "Datong is only three hundred miles away from the capital, so the Qing Dynasty naturally attached great importance to it. Not only did it draw all the available Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops from the capital to join the battlefield in Shanxi, but also Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, personally led troops to fight against Jiang Yan. In addition, there were Ajige, who was commanding the Wuzhenchaoha camp, Mandahai, Prince Heshuo, Wakda, Prince Chengze, and Shuosai, who could be dispatched, all of them were in Shanxi."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "This Jiang Yan has such a big show, which has bought us very precious time, and death is worthwhile."

Zhang Shengdao, "The Qing Dynasty hated Jiang Guan's rebellion very much. After the Datong City was broken, the Qing army carried out a large-scale massacre of Datong Prefecture, Shuozhou, Hunyuan and other places. Datong City was the most tragic, with only five serious criminals left in hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone took a breath, and the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty was shocking.

Cui Ziyi sang repeatedly, "Taiyi saves the Ku Tianzun, and always leave Santu Ku, and ascends to the Dongji Palace as soon as possible..."

The army's heart trembled, and the tragic scenes I saw in Yangzhou suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I thought that after the Chinese army's power grew, many tragic history could be changed, but now the "Datong Massacre" has happened.

"Damn it!" Wan Jun punched the table, regretting in his heart. If he had concentrated his troops to aid Jiang Guan, the incident of Datong would definitely not have happened.

Jiang Guan was originally the general of Datong in the Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng captured Shanxi, Jiang Guan surrendered to Dashun. After only two months, Li Zicheng failed to leave Beijing. Jiang Guan quickly rebelled again, killed Zhang Tianlin, the defender of Shun Army, and handed Datong to the Qing army. The Qing soldiers took Datong without bloodshed, and Li Zicheng's Shanxi defense collapsed.

Jiang Qi surrendered and rebelled like a fence-bearing man, and Wan Jun was very disgusted. Therefore, after Jiang Qi turned against the Qing Dynasty, Wan Jun refused Jiang Qi's show of kindness, and the troops entering Shanxi were unable to effectively restrain him.

For generals, you should not act because of your own likes and dislikes, because a decision is related to the life and death of millions of people.

Zhang Sheng, Wen Anzhi and others said in unison, "The Head of State is mourning!"

The regret in his heart turned into anger and gritted his teeth, "I must pay the price for the war criminals who slaughter the people!"

Zhang Shengdao, "The terrain of Shanxi is important. Dorgon put all the troops from the capital and North China into the Shanxi battlefield. After extinguishing Jiang Yan, he would not give up. If he went south from Taiyuan Prefecture to control the north of the Yellow River, Fengling Ferry will only be two hundred miles from Chang'an, and Guanzhong will not be at peace in the future."

Wan Jun said, "If the enemy wants to achieve his merits in one battle, then he will fight the Hu people in Shanxi!"

"The order was sent to Sun Kewang, after Li Wenlong's troops took down the Shenmu, they sent troops to Baodezhou to restrain the Qing Dynasty."

"The order is sent to you, Liu Tichun and Wu Sanqi lead the new army 130,000 to support Pingyang Prefecture."

"Transfer the order to draw 50,000 yuan from Henan to reinforce the battlefield in Shanxi."

There were originally Li Guo, Changjian's troops, and 30,000 troops were transferred to He Dingchuan's troops later. In addition, this time, 180,000 reinforcements were reinforced, totaling 230,000.

Mobilize 230,000 Chinese troops and fight 280,000 Qing troops. If this battle is won, the entire Qing army in the north will suffer a heavy blow, and it will be no problem to take advantage of the victory to capture the entire capital.

The troops agreed to send troops and gathered with Wang Huan for two days in the mansion. On the third day, they set off for Hancheng with the new army, crossed the Yellow River in Hancheng, and entered Hejin, Shanxi.

There is a major tributary of the Yellow River in Hejin. The New Army's baggage is transported to Pingyang by the Fen River water. Pingyang Prefecture is connected to Shangdang in the east, to the Yellow River in the west, to Luoyang in Guanzhong in the south, and to Jinyang in the north. If the Qing army wants to go south, Pingyang Prefecture is a must.

The Qing army took Duoluo County King Wakeda and Chengze County King Shuosai as the vanguard. The cavalry had already arrived at Pingyang Prefecture a day ago. After a brief fight with the Chinese army, they retreated to Hongdong County and waited for the main force.

With the arrival of Wan Jun and the main force of the Chinese Army, the achievements of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, huge hot air balloons rose from Pingyang Prefecture City, monitoring the movements of the Qing army from the air.

Wanjun divided the troops into five divisions, led by Chang Jian and stationed on the west bank of the Fen River, Li Guo led one to guard Pingyang Prefecture City, Liu Tichun led one to station between Hongdong County and Pingyang Prefecture, on the south bank of the Jushui River, a tributary of the Fen River, Wu Sanqi stationed on the upper reaches of the Jushui River, and Wanjun personally led one to serve as a reserve force.

On the second day after the troops arrived in Pingyang Prefecture, the main force of the Qing army arrived in Hongdong County.

In the evening, Liu Tichun's troops began to send back the news, and the Qing army began to get restless. A large group of scouts crossed the Jushui River and penetrated towards the south bank.

The scouts of the Chinese Army and the Qing Army began to contact each other in the Jushui River area. The scouts have always selected elite soldiers from the sergeants. Both sides tried desperately to keep their secrets and spy on each other's intelligence.

The strategic decisive battle between the two sides was the first to be carried out on both sides of the Jushui River and among the scattered scouts.

The clouds of the stream start to rise and the sun sinks to the pavilion, and the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.

The temptation and silence before the war are like the air before the storm, dull and depressing.

As the front army continued to reward, Wan Jun could not help but handed over the reserve corps to Lu Dayong, and took his personal guards to Liu Tichun Camp on the Jushui River.

Liu Tichun's camp is adjacent to the Jushui River in the north, and to the west is the magnificent Fen River. The cold wind blows the military flag and makes a sound.

From time to time, a gunshot, a horse's neighing, or a man's screams came from the field, which were numerous scouts fighting on the field.

In the evening, except for the very few elite soldiers who called "no night harvest", most of the scouts retreated to the camp. Wanjun saw that many of them were injured, but their expressions were full of fighting spirit.

In the central army camp, the flames reflected the faces of Wan Jun and Liu Tichun, and the flames were shaking impermanently, just like Wan Jun's mood.

The war is imminent. Although Wan Jun believes in the combat power of the Chinese army, he still cannot have a moment of peace in his heart!

"I think it's tomorrow, the main force of the Qing army will take action!"
Chapter completed!
