Sometimes people find that the beast is themselves.

Facing the instinct of survival, everyone will try their best. At that moment, they just want to survive.

There is no essential difference between the Qing soldiers and the Ming soldiers in this regard.

However, the Ming army's beliefs were stronger.

The belief in reviving the world and saving the people from water and fire.

Li Laiheng and other Kuidong generals were all crazy, and wave after wave of attacks made Zhao Chu and Jiang Liang's bag.

Under the powerful offensive, they retreated again and again, and finally retreated to the General's Mansion.

The soldiers under Li Laiheng's command have almost controlled the entire city.

The phenomenon of chaos in the face of chaos was not seen, because Li Laiheng had strict military disciplines. If there was a situation of harassing the people, the chaos in the face of the crime would definitely be punished.

The only question now is how to conquer these Qing soldiers trapped in the general's mansion.

It is impossible to persuade surrender, and it is impossible to persuade surrender in this life.

These Qing soldiers did not choose to surrender at the beginning, so Li Laiheng would not persuade them to surrender again.

For Li Laiheng, attacking Luoyang was just the first step, but this was a very obvious signal, that is, the Ming army's determination to recover the Central Plains.

Henan is the heart of the Central Plains. It will be very convenient to recover Henan whether it is further attacking the capital or attacking Shaanxi.

Li Laiheng had made up his mind to borrow the heads of Zhao Chu and Jiang Liang to announce to the swaying Qing soldiers that timely surrender was the right way, and the Ming army would no longer accept surrender if they had the intention of resisting.

They choose where to go.

In Shandong, the battle situation is also tragic.

Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, Jinan City was still broken.

The Zheng father and son met in Jinan and sorted out and found that more than 30,000 people were killed or injured in the Ming army in Shandong during this attack.

This is tragic, and the casualties are mainly concentrated in the attack on Jinan and Qingzhou.

The Qing army of these two cities has the largest number and the highest combat power.

There are tens of thousands of people in the Eight Banners Army alone.

Although the Ming army was as powerful as a rainbow, they could only slowly grind the iron barrel formation of the Qing army, and there was no good way.

Of course, the Qing army suffered even heavier losses.

Except for a small number of them who fled to Dezhou, they were basically wiped out by the Ming army.

With this momentum, it will only be a matter of time before the Ming army takes over Texas.

Texas is the southern gate of Gyeonggi.

Once Texas is lost, the Gyeonggi will open its doors and may be taken away at any time.

But Zheng Chenggong was not in a hurry to launch an attack.

The Ming army's Lian Zhan and Lian Jie relied on one breath. Now it is not easy to stop suddenly and try to continue this breath.

The soldiers were exhausted and needed time to rest.

Only after resting can the army's combat effectiveness reach its highest level.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong also considered one thing, that is, to report the victory to the court.

Your Majesty’s view has always been what Zheng Chenggong values ​​the most.

Every time he makes a decision, he has to consider what His Majesty will think and whether His Majesty will be disgusted.

Although it is a bit troublesome to ask for more instructions, you will not make any principled mistakes.

If you make a decision directly bypass your Majesty, although there is a reason why you will not be able to accept the orders of the outside king, it will always make your Majesty feel uncomfortable.

Your Majesty feels uncomfortable. How could Zheng Chenggong feel comfortable?

Although he is now in power, he is still a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

It just happened to take this opportunity to ask for meritorious soldiers, and let Your Majesty enjoy it.

Why not do the best of both worlds?

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction while watching the report in his hand.

Good news, all he has received in the past few days are good news.

The great victory of Luoyang, the great victory of Qingzhou, the great victory of Jinan...

The Ming army was invincible wherever they went. This not only reflected the gap in combat power between the Ming army and the Qing army, but also the gap between the two sides.

Having the truth means that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

The Ming army is the king's army, and the people of the Central Plains have been waiting for the king's army for a long time. When they can see the Ming army coming, they must be happy and help the Ming army openly and secretly.

The tendency of the people to gain enlightenment also represents the luck of the struggle between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

As long as the Ming army takes steady steps and does not make any moves, Zhu Youlang doesn't know how to lose.

Of course, the more stable the winning situation is, the more stable it is. There is no need to bet with the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong asked in his request whether the army should attack Dezhou immediately or cooperate with the Kuidong army to attack Henan.

This is completely two directions, there is no right or wrong, it depends entirely on personal choice.

Zhu Youlang was a little hesitant.

It is certainly the most enjoyable to directly attack Gyeonggi.

But this means that Zheng Chenggong has to confront the most elite main force of the Qing army in advance.

The elite troops of the Qing army's three banners were concentrated in the capital. They could retreat in other places and they could not defend, but the Qing army in the capital could not defend.

It is still unknown whether Zheng Chenggong can withstand the fierce attack of this Qing army with his own strength.

Difficult, really difficult.

Zhu Youlang didn't want to bet. After all, if Zheng Chenggong lost, it would be a huge loss to the morale of the Ming army.

The Ming army has won all the best so far, even if it loses one game, it will be a stain.

And if we go to Henan first to cooperate with the Kuidong Army to capture the land of Heluo, it would be relatively safe.

Just as Zhu Youlang analyzed before, why should we be able to win a safe game?

So in the end, Zhu Youlang decided to let Zheng Chenggong lead his troops to Henan to cooperate with Li Laiheng's troops to advance. Only a part of the necessary troops were left to station in Qingzhou, Jinan and Denglai Prefectures in Shandong.

As for Shaanxi, no news has been heard.

Firstly, it is because Shaanxi is relatively far away from Nanjing, and secondly, it is because it is relatively difficult to attack Guanzhong from Hanzhong.

Li Dingguo is a god of war, and he also knows Guanzhong very well.

Zhu Youlang really has no reason to doubt Li Dingguo's combat effectiveness.

Let’s give Li Dingguo some more time.

I believe that within half a month, there will be news.

Although Guanzhong is far inferior to its status in the Han and Tang dynasties, it is still an important town after all.

After taking Guanzhong, the control over Ningshuo and northern Shaanxi can be greatly increased, and it can also put pressure on Shanxi and Henan.

It can be said that this is a chess game, which can affect the whole body with one move, and every time a piece falls, it will have an impact on the whole game.

Zhu Youlang is the one who makes a decision.

Zhu Youlang looked at the map while his eyes narrowed.

His eyes fell on Tianjin Guards.

Although he decided to let Zheng Chenggong's main force cooperate in the attack on Henan, it did not affect the dispatch of a navy to attack Tianjin Wei by sea.

Zhu Youlang's purpose was to harass him. As long as the Ming navy attacked Tianjin Wei could scare the Qing army in the capital, his purpose would be achieved.

In this way, the Qing army could divide its power and send troops to station in Tianjin, and the Ming army would be under much less pressure on the front battlefield.

It seems that this task can be handed over to Zheng Jing.
