Chapter 48 Balhae Road Corps

Li Laiheng's sudden recovery from his illness was something that even Master Fang had not expected. Master Fang had to smile bitterly at his mistake.

Fortunately, the result was acceptable to all parties. Zhao Wang Li Zijing retained his title and was assigned to Tianbao Mansion to guard the mausoleum of Taizu Taizong. From now on, this family will live a prosperous, stable but not excessive life in northern Shaanxi.

A luxurious semi-reclusive life.

As for the scientific and technical officials who were instigating Prince Zhao's Mansion behind the scenes, after careful investigation by Long Yiwei, no important ministers or elders were involved.

The emperor did not kill anyone, but gently opened the page. Several low-ranking officials were exiled. In this way, the emperor showed that he had no intention of raising a big case.

The ministers of the imperial court were relieved because there was no major incident in the founding of the country, which was the best thing for these officials.

Only Song Qijiao, the minister of the Li government, was in panic all day long, because a few days ago he had personally gone to the door of Prince Zhao's house to deliver gifts, with the purpose of getting closer and developing a relationship.

Unexpectedly, the situation would develop so quickly, and Song Qijiao would immediately become the target of public criticism.

Although the emperor had no intention of dealing with Song Qijiao, he thought it over and took the initiative to make the decision to return to his hometown. This was a better result for everyone. The emperor granted Song Qijiao's honorable retirement and ordered that Song Qijiao be retired.

Xie Zheng, the president of Wenyuyuan, took over the position of Minister of Li Government.

As a result, all disputes disappeared before they happened.

The bloody storm that many people expected did not happen. Feilong, who was in charge of the Longyi Guards, made Yan Xin disappointed. Shortly after this incident, Yan Xin was also transferred to the front line of the Southwest Army, and Li Yuan took charge of the Dragon Guards.

Clothing and guard.

There are many different views on the leftward migration of strict salary.

But there is no doubt that Yan Xin may have a deep relationship with the Zhao Wang case that did not happen in the end.

Some people think that Yan Xin was behind the scenes to promote the Zhao Wang case. The emperor's actions and the ups and downs of Zhao Wang's palace may all be related to Long Yiwei.

In terms of purpose, some historians in later generations believe that the strict salary to promote the Zhao Wang case was in the hope that the emperor would thoroughly purge the courtiers and generals in accordance with the old rules of the founding period of the previous dynasties.

During such a purge, the status of secret service agencies like Long Yiwei will definitely rise significantly, and Yan Xin's power as the Dragon Envoy will also greatly increase.

But in the end, due to various considerations, Li Laiheng gave up his plan to launch a major case to purge the heroes.

A tragic bloody storm disappeared silently, and only the incident of moving people to the left with severe salary left a negligible trace in history.

After that, the focus of the Shun Dynasty shifted to the war against Liao. In the summer of this year, the Dashun Army finally launched a general attack on the Western Liao Corridor.

Although within a few years, the Qing army had forcibly moved a large number of shaven Han people from the Western Liaoning Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula to live north of the Liaodong Border Wall and the Korean Peninsula.

However, there are still many Han people living near various cities in Guangning.

When Dashun's Northern Expedition entered the Liaoxi Corridor, the Qing army did not offer any resistance and took the initiative to withdraw the defenders to the interior of the Liaodong Peninsula. These indigenous people of the Liao people, who had been oppressed by the tyranny of Manchuria, rose up one after another to eat pots.

To welcome Master Wang.

The Han people cut off their braids one after another, killed or disarmed the Green Camp soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in the city, and opened the city to welcome King Dashun's army.

Liu Fangliang's Northern Expedition was progressing extremely smoothly. He himself lamented: "This is a true counterattack with counterattack, and there is no disadvantage in every direction."

Without any fierce battle worth mentioning, the Dashun Army had almost recovered the entire western Liaoning Corridor. Before the end of the summer of the fourth year of Tianfa, the Dashun Army had pushed the confrontational front between the Shun and Qing armies to the mouth of the Liaohe River.

.

The Shun army stopped at the front line of the Liao River, just waiting for the arrival of autumn. The dry season in autumn will change the geographical shape of Liaoze, making it easier for the Shun army to regain Liaoyang and other places.

The Qing army, on the other hand, stepped up its efforts to fortify the walls and clear the country, trying to take advantage of the severe cold weather in the autumn and winter in the Northeast to force the obedient troops to retreat.

In addition, the Dashun Army's Bohaidao Corps on the Denglai front line also began to take active actions.

Although the Qing army rebuilt some naval units in the process of plundering Japan, compared with the warships of the Sanshun Wang Navy in its heyday, today's Qing navy is not worth mentioning at all, and can only deal with the closed country.

The Tokugawa Shogunate.

Most of the naval forces of the Shunjun Bohaidao Corps were transferred from Ningbo and Fuzhou.

Half of them are Zheng Zhilong's old troops, and the other half are the Shunjun navy that Liu Xiyao originally organized and trained in Ningbo to deal with the Zheng family.

The ships of these two navies were specially built for naval battles. Their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the Qing navy, and they also had a considerable advantage in quantity.

Zhang Guowu was fortunate enough to follow Ningbo's naval warships north to Dengzhou. His original responsibility was only to lead the land division stationed in Zhejiang.

Now, due to a coincidence, he led a part of the Shun Army garrison in Zhejiang to follow the navy to the north to make up for the lack of strength in the Bohai Road Corps.

"Being able to join the army to restore Liaodong is actually a great blessing in life."

Zhang Guowu was an old subordinate of Jiang Quan. He was born in the Xuanda frontier army of the former dynasty. Now, as a member of the Bohaidao Corps of the Dashun Army, he boarded a warship, braved the wind and waves, and accompanied the army to advance to Liaodong and restore Jinzhou.

This was something he never expected in his original life.

However, as a warrior, Zhang Guowu felt particularly honored to be able to participate in such an expedition to recover the lost territory of the previous dynasty and expel the Tartars and barbarians.

The Shunjun navy was equipped with a large number of red cannons for the needs of naval battles. As soon as the fleet approached some islands near the Liaodong Peninsula, it first relied on powerful artillery fire to cover the area.

However, in fact, the Qing army had abandoned all the outlying islands south of the Liaodong Peninsula and directly reduced its forces to the Liaoyang hinterland.

Therefore, the Bohaidao Corps, without a single blow, restored the various Liaodong outlying islands that the Ming Dynasty had lost after the fall of Dongjiang Town.

Pidao, whom many people miss, also returned to the embrace of Shun Chao.

Originally, each of the Dashun Army's landing officers was carrying a lot of building materials. Gu Kecheng considered that the Qing army might take advantage of the Shun Army's unstable footing to launch a violent counterattack in the coastal areas, so he formulated a strategy.

Each soldier carried a bag of building materials on his back. Once they landed ashore, some elite soldiers fortified the perimeter, while the rest quickly built camps and fortifications on the coast to resist the Qing army's counterattack.

As a result, there were only a small number of Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jinzhou area, and they all collapsed at the first touch. After only a small amount of fighting, they voluntarily abandoned Jinzhou, Gaizhou area, and withdrew to the north.

Gu Kecheng's carefully designed landing plan was of little use. The Shun army easily landed in Liao from Jinzhou, and then marched northward to restore Fuzhou and Gaizhou.

Zhang Guowu led an infantry force of about a thousand people to chase the remnants of the Qing army's retreat. He advanced rapidly, but caught up to the front of his own cavalry. He first met the Liaodong Road Corps under Liu Fangliang at Tashanpu near Haizhou.

The leading troops converged.
