Jinzhou.

Huang Taiji swept away the gloomy mood and was full of energy for many days.

In the battle of Yizhou, the Qing Dynasty reversed the world and changed the unfavorable situation of being suppressed by the Ming army for several months. He looked at the battle reports sent from the front and laughed from time to time. Yizhou City was defended, and the aggressive Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou were defeated, annihilated more than 13,000 enemies, captured more than 25,000 prisoners, and seized all of Wu Sangui's supplies and food. Especially under Yizhou City, all hundreds of Wu Sangui's cannons were seized. The cannons were intact. As long as they were equipped with gun trucks, the cannons could be pulled out at any time.

Hundreds of cannons. Since the Qing Dynasty successfully cast the Red Barbarian cannons a few years ago, it has only produced twenty or thirty ones a year, but now it has suddenly achieved hundreds of cannons of all sizes.

Now Jinzhou City is surrounded again, and more than ten fort cities captured by the Ming army on the outskirts of Yizhou and Jinzhou have been taken back one by one.

"Wu Sanguizu Dashou retreated to Songshan, Ma Ke, Wang Pu retreated to Xingshan, Liu Zhaoji, Qin Liangyu stationed to Tashan, Gao Qiqian, Qiu Minyang stationed to Ningyuan."

Huang Taiji surrounded Jinzhou and occupied several big fish.

"Governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou, Governor of the Five Northwest Provinces and Shaanxi, Governor of the Trilateral Governor Sun Chuanting, General of Xuanfu Yang Guozhu, General of Miyun Tang Tong, General of Western Association Bai Guangen, General of Western Association Cao Bianjiao, General of Qiantun∠↓ding∠↓diǎn∠↓Xiao∠↓ Say, .≠.※o Wang Tingchen, and more than 50,000 generals of two governors and five generals were trapped in Jinzhou."

The current situation is much better than when it first sieges Jinzhou.

After Yizhou was defeated, the 200,000 Ming troops in western Liaoning were already divided and each was scared.

"Around Jinzhou, don't rush to fight. Dig trenches and build walls around Jinzhou and dig a few more trenches. This time we will siege the city and fight for assistance. Let's see who dares to come to help. One will destroy the other." Huang Taiji sneered coldly.

In the Battle of Daling River that year, Huang Taiji used this method to deal with the Ming army, besieging the city to fight aid, defeating reinforcements one by one, and finally forcing the Ming army in the city to surrender without food.

"When Yizhou brings artillery here, the Jinzhou siege will have a better chance of winning this time. Hahaha!"

"Report!"

"Report to the emperor that Gaizhou is lost, Kong Youde and others are wiped out!"

A military academy rushed over and reported a news that Huang Taiji was caught off guard.

"What? How is this possible?" Huang Taiji's laughter came to an abrupt end, and he became furious. Kong Youde and others led more than 20,000 combat soldiers and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers. There were more than 10,000 civilians in Gaizhou City, and more than 50,000 people guarded a Gaizhou City. They were not short of food or water, facing the attack of 30,000 Ming troops. In just half a month, the city was broken and the entire army was wiped out?

"Is Kong Youde a pig? Even if it is a pig, he still led 50,000 pigs. How could he lose the city in half a month and be wiped out?" Huang Taiji was really furious. He had already obtained information before the Ming army crossed the sea to attack Liao.

At that time, Huang Taiji hesitated and transferred Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming from the foot of Jinzhou City to Liaodong to defend. But these people were slow all the way, and Liu Jun even broke through Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou Zhucheng. They had just arrived in Haizhou.

The Ming army was in a fierce offensive and broke into Zhucheng. Huang Taiji issued an order to urge them to march to recover the lost territory, but these guys dragged left and right, but refused to fight the Ming army.

As a result, in less than half a year, the coastal areas of Liaodong were lost. Hundreds of castles were destroyed, and 400,000 people were moved to the two base camps established by the Ming army in Lushun and Zhenjiang. Kong Youdekong led tens of thousands of troops, but he had just watched all this happen.

If it weren't for the huge pressure on Jinzhou, Huang Taiji would have immediately sued the four people. Originally, Huang Taiji was thinking about enduring it first. Kong Youde and others passively avoiding the war, so they would not expect them to recover the lost territory in Liaodong for the time being. At least they had to prevent the Liaojiang Ming army from attacking Liaoyang and Shenyang. After he won the battle in Jinzhou, he would turn around and fight against the Liaodong Ming army.

Before, he had already received the Ming army surrounded Gaizhou. When he learned that the Ming army surrounded Kong Youde and began to dig trenches like he did in the Battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief.

Digging a moat to siege the city, this is a plan to siege for a long time.

He thought that Kong Youde had 50,000 troops, a big city, and sufficient food. 50,000 to 30,000, it would be fine if he stayed for half a year. With this time, he could drag the Ming army under the city of Gaizhou, and he could do his best to deal with the Ming army in western Liaoning first.

Jiergalang could withstand the attack of Wu Sangui's 100,000 Ming troops in Yizhou, while Kong Youde could not defend the attack of 30,000 Ming troops in half a month.

It’s okay that Gaizhou is lost, but all 50,000 people have been caught.

"The Han people are still unreliable after all." Huang Taiji said hatred. How courtesy was he who came to surrender when Kong Youde came to surrender. Until now, Kong Youde still led his own headquarters, gave them the land of garrison and the land of population. Their men and horses were not even incorporated into the Eight Banners, nor were they included in the Four Han Banners. They even had a special banner, which was directly under his command.

He even conferred the title of kings to Kong Youde and others.

In the end, when they were going to use them, it was so useless. At first, they only knew how to preserve their strength, but when they were suddenly surrounded, they were vulnerable.

After anger for a long time, Huang Taiji gradually calmed down.

Gaizhou has been lost, and 50,000 other troops including Kong Youde were also wiped out. Now is not the time to be angry, and now we have to consider the serious consequences that will be brought about by this matter.

The loss of Gaizhou was 50,000 troops and horses were gone, which means that the gap between Gaizhou and Liaoyang was quite empty, and there were not enough troops to intercept and defend the Ming army's northward attack.

Liaoyang is an important town of the Qing army and an important gateway to the south of the capital Shenyang. If Liaoyang is in trouble, not only will Shenyang be in danger, but the Qing army in western Liaoning may also be cut off from its rear.

"Gaozhou is lost, Haizhou is empty and has no soldiers to defend, and Haizhou will definitely not be able to defend. There are only a few soldiers in Liaoyang, so we must return to defend."

Looking at the map, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth.

After seeing the victory of Yizhou, you can take advantage of the opportunity to win the victory in Jinzhou, and even continue to capture Songshan, Tashan, and Xingshan, and fight to Ningyuan City.

But now, Hong Taiji has to go back to defend himself.

"Emperor, please lead a group of troops to retake Gaizhou and repel Liu Jiye." Dai Shan volunteered.

Huang Taiji shook his head, "Although Kong Youde is dedicated to protecting his own strength, he still has two tricks in the war. Since he was defeated for only half a month and was wiped out by the city, it is enough to prove that Liu Jiye is indeed powerful. We still have to fight the battle of Jinzhou well now. If Gaizhou is lost, it will be lost, or even Haizhou is lost. Just defend Liaoyang first. As long as we break through Jinzhou, will the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Liaodong be able to make a fortune?"

"I personally go back to Liaoyang to be responsible for defense. You will continue to be responsible for the siege here. The 14th brother is responsible for leading the army to clear the Ming army outside and searching for defeated soldiers."

Huang Taiji had to go back. If Liaoyang was lost, Shenyang would be in danger.

After making a quick explanation, Huang Taiji began to rush back to Liaoyang with 20,000 troops.

Liaodong.

After breaking through Gaizhou City, Liu Jun did not stop advancing. He took advantage of the empty defense in the north and quickly led his army northward to sweep across Borough Fort, Tangchi Fort, Yaozhou Fort, Dongchang Fort, Taiping Fort, and Tashanpu. The forts were vulnerable at all, either surrendered or were bombarded with cannons.

In just two days, Liu Jun had already reached the city of Haizhou.

After passing Gaizhou, the Chu army in the north had not come yet. This time, the large-scale attack was unstoppable, and the defense in the Haizhou area was empty. The main force of the Qing army went to western Liaoning, and the rest were wiped out with Kong Youde's southward journey. Now only a small number of Manchus and Han people were left.

This was also the first time that the Chu army had been away from the coast and had been so far in the inland, and it was close to the heart of the Qing army.

This time, at the city of Haizhou, Liu Jun did not siege the city or dug moats. There were not many Qing troops in the city. They were all temporarily pieced together. After the cannons arrived, they directly bombarded the city. After a long time of fighting, the gap was blasted out. After a lot of battle, the heavy infantry seized the gap and entered the city.

After half a day of street fighting, the nine-headed birds cleared all streets and alleys one by one and captured the entire city.

After capturing Haizhou, Liu Jun immediately ordered the relocation of the people in the city, and took all the prisoners to Lianyungang in Gaizhou, and then transported them back to Lushun in batches.

In Haizhou City, Liu Jun and his subordinates discussed taking advantage of the victory to go north along the east bank of the Liao River and attack Liaoyang to cooperate with the offensive of the Ming army in western Liaoning.

At this moment, the envoy from the court arrived.

The angel announced the order, and Liu Jun was promoted to the Governor of the Beijing Camp and was in charge of the affairs of the Central Army Governor's Office.

After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Jun said nothing. However, the generals of the Nine-Headed Bird all looked unhappy. They said it was a reward, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was an upward and secretly surrender. The governor of the Beijing Camp had long been abandoned. He said that the Nine Towns had been organized, but in fact they were all old and weak who could not bear the battle.

As for the affairs of the General Administration of the Central Army, is there still half of the real power in the General Administration of the General Administration?

"How could the court issue such an order? The general left, who will rule us?"

"We broke through Gaizhou and seized Haizhou. The offensive was like fire, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and were about to take advantage of the victory to attack Shenyang, Liaoyang. Did we do something wrong? Why did the imperial court transfer the general at this time?"

Many generals of Jiutou felt very dissatisfied. The imperial court transferred Liu Jun from the admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi to the admiral of Liaodong, which could be said to be to pacify Liao and destroy the enemy and conquer Liaodong. At that time, the imperial court cut off the military power of the Grand Marshal. Without saying the Grand Marshal, everyone could bear it.

But now, in the more than half a year since entering Liaoning, Jiutou has made great contributions, recovered countless cities, annihilated tens of thousands of Qing captives, and saved hundreds of thousands of people. Such achievements are unprecedented, especially now Jiutou has launched an offensive under the orders of the court to cooperate with the use of troops in western Liaoning.

The court issued such an order to transfer the commander to the general and take over the governor of the Jing camp and take charge of the affairs of the General of the Central Army. What does this mean?

"Stop talking." Liu Jun felt uncomfortable. He understood the emperor's intention at first glance. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that his achievements would shock the master, and his ministers were too strong. He had previously cut off the military power of the town, but he still held three towns. It was normal for the emperor to worry about the nine-headed bird to fight so much.

But no matter how you understand, you still feel unhappy.

However, the dissatisfaction cannot be expressed. Maybe among the people who came to announce the imperial edict, the people from the Dongchang were ordered to observe their reactions. If they were dissatisfied and unwilling, they would report to the emperor, and then they would confirm the emperor's concerns more and more.

"I am promoted, and everyone should celebrate me. In the future, the affairs of Liaodong will be handed over to Governor Fu, Governor Fan, Wang and Lu, Li and Qu, and the military supervisor. Fu Shan, Zhang Shan and Liu Yunsheng will be the three generals. In the future, they will obey the dispatch of the governors and governors and supervisors."

Fu Zonglong and others were unexpectedly expecting this order, but when Liu Jun left, they were still very complicated. On the one hand, with Liu Jun in Liaodong, they were so arrogant that they could not interfere in Liaodong's military affairs and could not control military power. Once Liu Jun left, the Chu army naturally could no longer be like before. But on the other hand, Liu Jun was able to control the Chu army and was able to fight well. Once Liu Jun left, the good situation in Liaodong might change. (To be continued.)
