In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhu Youjian looked at the newspaper sent by Li Zhi and almost couldn't believe it.
Zhu Youjian called Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, come and read this newspaper. Did the Duke of Jin write it wrong, or did I understand it wrong? The Duke of Jin sent troops to Liaodong and captured Shenyang, the nest of Dongnu, within a month and a half. ?”
Wang Chengen shouted, and came up and picked up Li Zhi's newspaper. He read it carefully, and then read it again, and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Your Majesty, you are right. Duke Jin said that he has captured Shenyang."
"The Duke of Jin said that he defeated the Tatar cavalry outside Shenyang City and beheaded 2,377 people. The Tatars did not dare to fight against the Duke of Jin, so they abandoned the nest they had been operating for more than 20 years and fled all the way to the north. Already."
Zhu Youjian heard Wang Chengen's words and asked: "The Dongnu, who has harmed me for decades in the Ming Dynasty, is so vulnerable? Wang Chengen, do you think the seal of the Tang Dynasty reported by Jin Guogong is true?"
Wang Chengen thought for a while and said: "There is no need for the Duke of Jin to lie. I'm afraid this is the truth. The Duke of Jin also said that the Tatars moved all the supplies in Shenyang City. I'm afraid this is the initiative of the Tatars to retreat. Therefore, the progress of the Duke of Jin That’s why it was so fast.”
"However, Your Majesty, this is a great victory no matter what. Once we enter Shenyang, we have recovered the entire Liaodong! Shenyang fell during the Tianqi Dynasty and was lost for twenty-seven years. Now it has been recovered."
Zhu Youjian gradually became happy as he thought about it. A smile gradually appeared on his face, and finally he simply raised his head and laughed.
"In the second year of Chongzhen's reign, Huang Taiji, the slave leader, went to kill outside the capital. How arrogant it was? I didn't expect that today, my soldiers and horses from the Ming Dynasty actually captured the Dongnu's lair. I didn't expect that my hard work day and night finally moved the ancestors of the late emperor. The gods knew how to do it. Let me have the martial arts to open up new territories and restore territories!"
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian's face, knelt on the ground with a bang, and shouted loudly: "Although it appears to be the military merit of the Duke of Jin, in fact it is the result of the emperor's holy heart that has been under control for more than ten days and the supreme power of God." .”
Seeing this scene, the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down one by one and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor!"
Zhu Youjian stood up, stomped a few steps in the Qianqing Palace, and said with a smile: "Okay! What a Li Zhi!"
After laughing a few times, Zhu Youjian sighed again.
"It would be great if it was not Li Zhi who conquered Shenyang, but the new army from the Beijing camp who accomplished this feat."
Shaking his head, Zhu Youjian waved his sleeves and said: "Promote Li Zhi as the General of the Conquest of the North! According to my decree, Li Zhi must eradicate the roots this time, and the head of Tinu Chief Dorgon will come to see me."

On the first day of June, Li Zhi led an army of 44,000 to the 30,000 Guards.
Thirty Thousand Guards is one of the northernmost guardhouses in Liaodong Town. The place was probably Kaiyuan City in later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, a guardhouse was set up here to form Anle Prefecture. Later, Anle Prefecture was abolished, leaving only one Thirty Thousand Guards Guardhouse. After the Qing Dynasty occupied Liaodong, a large number of Han people in the Acropolis fled. The original Acropolis had fewer and fewer people, and gradually turned into an empty city.
The bricks covering the outside of the 30,000-guard city wall seemed to have been pried away, and not a single one was left. The earthen wall made of rammed earth under the wall bricks had collapsed in many places under the erosion of the rain, and it no longer provided defense. Function. The wooden buildings in the city were probably used as firewood by the nearby Tatars and were all demolished and taken away. The remaining things are no longer buildings.
In the entire health building, only the rammed earth foundations of high and low houses remain.
After the Qing Dynasty occupied Liaodong, they implemented a massacre-style reign of terror. Most of the Han towns in Liaodong were dilapidated and abandoned, and Thirty Thousand Guards was just a small city among them. But this small city was enough to prove the brutality of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Zhi stayed in this abandoned city for several days until the fifth day of June, but did not move forward.
It's not that these 30,000 guards have any special military value, but Li Zhi found that if he advanced any further, the logistics wouldn't be able to keep up.
Li Zhi had been fighting on the interior lines before. Even when he conquered Japan, he only attacked seaside cities, and the logistics lines were easy to protect. But in the vast northeastern plains, the problem of supply transportation was completely different from before.
The supplies disembarked from Jinzhou and were transported to Sanwanwei via Shenyang, which was an 800-mile land route. Li Zhi's transportation team used horse-drawn carriages to transport the supplies, which could cover a distance of more than 40 miles every day. It took twenty days to travel from Jinzhou to Sanwanwei. .If Li Zhi's soldiers and horses advance at a speed of thirty miles a day, when the supplies carried by the army are finished, the supplies behind him will still not be delivered.
Li Zhi had to slow down his marching speed in order to get food and grass from the rear.
In the Chinese army's tent within the 30,000-guard city wall, all the generals stood in front of the two-meter-long "Northeast Terrain Sand Table" with their brows furrowed.
During Li Zhi's expedition outside the customs, he asked the staff to make a large sand table in advance. The sand table was made of river sand, rice and glue. It simulated the mountains and rivers of the Northeast based on the intelligence of the scouts and reconnaissance, allowing people to understand the geographical environment of the war at a glance.
The generals looked at the sand table and realized that they had only penetrated two-fifths of the way into the Northeastern Great Plains. Logistics had already become a problem after traveling hundreds of miles, and the situation would become more complicated if they went further. The generals could not help but worry about logistics.
Staff officer Hong Chengchou said: "According to my estimation, Dorgon has fled all the way north this time, and is probably thousands of miles away. The Jurchens have an Alchukha Fortress on the shores of the White Mountains and Black Waters, which is the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Dorgon Since Ergon avoided the war this time, he may have led hundreds of thousands of his tribesmen to flee to Alchuka."
Hong Chengchou said: "If our army does not go north to kill the main force of the Tatars this time, I am afraid that after our army returns to Tianjin, the Tatars will go south to plunder the people outside Liaodong City, and Liaodong will never have peace. So if we cannot annihilate them this time The Tatars will have to station a large number of troops and horses in Liaodong from now on. And even if we station a large number of troops and horses, we will be exhausted on defense, and we will have to fight with the Tatars repeatedly, and we will not be able to safely reclaim the vast land of the Liaodong Plain."
"If the situation becomes like that, Liaodong will have no economic value and will become a heavy burden for the prince."
"So I suggest that we go to Alchuqa this time and fight the Tatars between the white mountains and the black waters."
Zheng Kaicheng looked at the sand table and asked: "Commander Hong, Alchukha is a thousand miles away. How can we ensure our logistics?"
Hong Chengchou replied: "We can set up a camp every three hundred miles, and build three camps between here and Alchuka. Each camp will be guarded by 10,000 Liao and Ding people, and food will be stored in the camp."
"At the same time, we use 10,000 soldiers as a food transport team to transport food between various camps. In this way, even if the Tatars send tens of thousands of cavalry to attack our logistics routes, we can still bear the burden."
Zheng Kaicheng thought for a while and said: "In this way, we are building camps along the way to wait for food and grass. I am afraid that this northern expedition will last for several months. If it is delayed until winter, our soldiers will not be able to fight in this bitter cold place, so we will have to Withdrew."
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Dorgon thought the same way, so he was willing to abandon Shenyang and retreat all the way to the far north. What he wanted was to drag the war until winter and let us return without success."
"But it's the only way we can figure out the logistics."
