Almost at the same time, Xu Yingwei also led 10,000 new troops to capture the Gaizhou Guard.
Before the fall of Liaodong, the administrative level of Gaizhou Guard was equivalent to that of a city. Not only did it have a city wall, but it also stationed a full guard of more than 5,000 Ming troops!
However, now, the city wall of Gaizhouwei has long been demolished.
These were all done by old slaves. When old slaves came to a city, the first thing they did was to demolish the city walls.
After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he stopped demolishing the city walls and even repaired many cities. However, the city walls of Gaizhouwei were not repaired.
Therefore, the new army led by Xu Yingwei entered Gaizhou City without any effort.
After entering the city, I discovered that such a large city was actually an empty city.
Not only people, not even a wild dog or a hare was seen. It was just a ghost town!
Seeing this, Xu Yingwei admired Chongzhen even more. His Majesty was really like a god in predicting everything.
At such an important strategic location as the Gaizhou Guard, Jiannu didn't even garrison it? One day, Jiannu will pay a heavy price for this stupid decision.
But in fact, there were slaves stationed in Gaizhou.
It's just that the slaves were not stationed in the city, but on the hill outside the city.
Because it's very scary to live in such an empty city.
By the time Xu Yingwei discovered that there were Jian slaves in the hills outside the city and sent troops to chase them, it was already too late. The Jian slaves stationed on the mountain realized something was wrong and ran away in advance.
But Xu Yingwei didn't pay much attention to this.
Because they are here to consume the slaves.
But after Ye Keshu, the general of Jiannu Shengjing, received the news, he couldn't believe his ears.
"What did you say?" Ye Keshu grabbed the breastplate of Hong Jia La who came to report the news, and asked in a hissing voice, "Do you mean that the North Korean army occupied Gaizhou Guards? Gaizhou Guards?"
"Yeah." Hongjiala nodded repeatedly.
"You mean the Ming Dynasty army, the army?"
"Yes, at least ten thousand people, and cannons!"
"What, there are cannons? How is this possible! How did they reach Liaodong? Did they fly from the sky? Is it possible that all the more than 10,000 Ming troops are birdmen?"
"General, they can come by sea."
"Sea route? That's impossible. The North Sea is still frozen."
"The navy can send them to the edge of the ice, and then walk on the ice to Gaizhou Guard."
Hearing this, Ye Keshu couldn't help but believe it. It seemed that there was really a Ming army all the way to Gaizhou Guard. But what did this group of Ming troops want to do after traveling thousands of miles to Gaizhou Guard?
Ye Keshu thought about it for half a night, but couldn't think of a reason.
In the end, Ye Keshu decided to lead three thousand troops to defend Haizhou.
At the same time, the flying cavalry was sent to report to the regent in Beijing with an urgent report of 800 miles.
There were tens of thousands of Ming troops coming, and they were carrying red cannons. Ye Keshu had only three thousand pacesetters in total, and half of them were prisoners of each banner. It was really uncertain whether they would fight.
So we can only ask Beijing for help.
…
The one who arrived in Beijing ahead of Liaodong's 800-mile express was Tianjin Admiral Luo Yangxing.
The slave who escaped from Dagu was none other than Zhou Peigong's master, Ma Jiatuhai.
After Tuhai escaped from Dagokou, he immediately reported the news to Tianjin Admiral Luo Yangxing.
After Luo Yangxing received the report, he couldn't believe it. The Ming army raided Dagukou? How is this possible? Not to mention where this group of Ming soldiers came from, the key point is that the Ming army had the courage?
After the Battle of Songjin, the Ming army was frightened. It was possible to defend the city and fight, but to fight in the field would be to die, and to take the initiative to attack was absolutely impossible.
But now, the Ming army not only took the initiative to launch an attack,
And he actually crossed thousands of miles and launched a surprise attack on Dagukou on the ice of the North Sea?
Is the Ming army crazy, or am I crazy? Anyway, Luo Yangxing's first reaction was disbelief.
So Luo Yangxing personally led more than a hundred cavalry to reconnoiter near Dagu. After arriving at Dagu, he finally believed that all this was true and that the Ming army had really captured Dagu.
Crazy, that means these Ming soldiers are crazy!
Luo Yangxing did not lead the green battalion rashly to attack Dagukou.
Instead, he immediately returned to Beijing and asked Dorgon for instructions in person.
"What?" Dorgon's first reaction was also disbelief. How could this be possible?
"You said that a group of Ming troops captured Takukou? And this group of Ming troops numbered at least 5,000 people?"
"Yes, at least five thousand." Luo Yangxing said solemnly, "And they carried at least twenty red cannons."
"What? You also carry at least twenty red cannons?" Dorgon became more and more unbelievable and shouted, "Luo Yangxing, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Prince Regent, I really am not talking nonsense."
Luo Yangxing said: "Everything I just said is true."
Seeing the solemn look on Luo Yangxing's face, Dorgon couldn't help but be stunned.
Could it be that the Ming army really sent troops? And captured Dagukou?
"Fresh, this is really fresh." Dorgon got off the kang and paced back and forth in the Dongnuan Pavilion with his bare feet while sneering, "Nan Ming actually has the guts to take the initiative to attack our Qing Dynasty?"
"It's enough to take the initiative to attack, but you actually dare to come and attack Dagukou?"
"Where is Dagukou? It is the choke point of Gyeonggi Province!"
"Haha, Chongzhen is quite discerning and picked out this crucial point at a glance."
"However, to have vision but not the strength to match it is to overestimate one's capabilities!"
Speaking of this, Dorgon suddenly stepped on his feet and said to the south window: "Chongzhen, are you so impatient to try the power of the flintlock gun? Then I will do as you wish..."
Just as he was talking, Hou Fangyu suddenly ran in at a trot: "Master, urgent delivery to Liaodong, eight hundred miles away!"
"Liaodong 800 miles urgently?!" Dorgon was frightened again, and he hurriedly took the envelope and opened it.
After quickly browsing the Tang newspaper sent by General Ye Keshu from Shengjing, which was sent eight hundred miles away, Dorgon became more and more angry and flew into a rage.
"Haha, okay, okay, okay, okay! Chongzhen, you are so courageous. Not only did you cross the sea and attack the Dugu mouth, but you also sent troops to sneak attack the Gaizhou Guard at the same time?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Haha, good, good, good!"
"Chongzhen, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the courage?"
By the end, Dorgon was extremely angry, and the veins on his face were all bulging.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yangxing, Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu who came in after hearing the news were all secretly frightened. In their impression, Dorgon had never been so out of control before.
Dorgon was really stimulated this time.
I didn't expect it at all. This was really unexpected.
Dorgon not only did not expect that the Ming army would dare to take the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty, but he also did not expect that the Ming army would dare to split into two groups and attack the two important places of Dagukou and Gaizhouwei at the same time.
How much do you look down on the Qing Dynasty? It’s really too arrogant.
…
Equally unbelievable is Wu Dading, who is entrenched in Qianwei County, Jiading Prefecture.
This Jiading Prefecture is Jiading Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy of Sichuan Province, not Jiading County of Suzhou Prefecture in South Zhili. There were many state capitals and counties in the Ming Dynasty with the same name.
More than a month ago, Wu Dading and Yuan Tao conspired to murder Yang Zhan.
After that, the two divided up the territory acquired by Yang Zhan and his 30,000 to 40,000 tribesmen.
Jiading Prefecture belonged to Wu Dading, and Qianwei County was his home base.
Meizhou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou to the north are Yuan Tao's territory. In addition, generals such as Zeng Ying, Cao Xun and Wang Xiang also have their own territories. The whole of Sichuan is already a warlord war.
This actually has something to do with Sichuan’s isolated geographical environment.
Although the Ming Dynasty had won two battles in a row on the Huanghuai defense line and the situation had greatly improved, the generals of the Ming army such as Wu Dading, Yuan Tao and Wang Xiang in central Sichuan still regarded the Ming Dynasty as the remnant Ming Dynasty before, so they did not think about it at all.
Instead of serving the imperial court, he only wanted to expand his territory and strengthen his own strength.
The previous attack on Zhang Xianzhong was to compete for territory.
Wu Dading and Yuan Tao launched the mutiny because of this.
Because Yang Zhan wanted to fight with Zhang Xianzhong, but the two of them didn't want to.
So the two of them calculated that instead of using Yang Zhan as cannon fodder for their own troops in a deadly fight with Zhang Xianzhong, it would be better to kill Yang Zhan and then divide Yang Zhan's troops and territory.
The two of them did what they said, and they really killed Yang Zhan.
As soon as Yang Zhan died, the Ming army in Sichuan fell apart.
Wang Yingxiong, the nominal governor of the three sides, could not hold his position at all.
After Wu Dading annexed half of Yang Zhan's tribe and stabilized his territory, he began to consider annexing more Ming troops and occupying more surrounding territories. His ultimate goal was to occupy Sichuan and become the king of Sichuan.
At least for now, Wu Dading's highest goal is to become the king of Sichuan.
As for higher goals, such as becoming an emperor or something, he hasn't thought about it yet.
However, just when Wu Dading was looking forward to this wonderful prospect, two shocking pieces of bad news suddenly came.
Chongzhen actually led Qin Liangyu, Marquis of Zhongzhen and Admiral of Huguang, as his commander, and led 250,000 troops to Luzhou via Kuizhou Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture. There was only less than 400 miles away from Jianwei County.
Not only that, Chongzhen also sent Yunnan Admiral Yang Weizhi to lead 50,000 troops from Dongchuan Prefecture into Sichuan. Now they have also reached Mahu Prefecture, which is also only more than 500 miles away from Jianwei County.
After receiving these two pieces of news, Wu Dading's first reaction was disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Dading scolded the deputy general who came to report the news with a straight face, "Do you know how many people there are in the army of 300,000? And do you know how much food is needed to maintain such an army? The Ming Dynasty
How can you still get so much money and food when you are so poor?"
But when the deputy general finished speaking, Wu Dading was completely confused.
Is there any mistake? Isn’t the Ming Dynasty about to be destroyed by the slave slaves?
How could so many troops be dispatched to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion in the blink of an eye?
Chongzhen, what are you doing like a dog emperor? Since you have so many troops, you can still afford the food and wages of such a huge army. What have you done so far? With such troops and so much food and wages, how can you destroy the intruders and still have Zhang?
The thief is not just playing for fun? How come he has fallen to this level?
